Normal Ops Flashcards
When do you have to perform the internal safety inspection checklist?
The Internal Safety Inspection procedures and checklist must be performed:
- Before Powering Up the aircraft.
- When the aircraft is taken from Maintenance.
- When it has been left unattended by the Crew for any period of time.
- When deemed necessary by the Crew for safety and operational reasons.
When do you have to perform the power up checklist?
The POWER UP procedures and checklist must be performed:
- After power down.
- On the aircraft’s first flight of the day.
- At the flight crew’s discretion, e.g. if status is in doubt.
If receiving the airplane already powered up, check the Maintenance Status, verify compliance with all POWER UP items, and perform the (*) items if they were not performed within one day.
What do you have to check for the fire extinguisher panel test? Apart from the EICAS message.
Aural warning.
- FIRE EXTINGUISHERS Handles illuminated.
- Cargo Smoke AFT Button illuminated.
- Cargo Smoke FWD Button illuminated
- Fire Extinguisher APU Button illuminated.
- Upper half of the APU EMER STOP Button illuminated.
- WARNING lights flashing.
- “FIRE” warning light displayed inside ITT indicators.
Do you have to check the pitch trim backup switch each time you do the cockpit preparation?
No, but all the other switches have to be checked, roll and yaw switches too.
Can you take off with ECS OFF and TO-2 TO-3?
Only when following DDPM/MEL, otherwise you can’t.
What do you have to do when taking off with ECS OFF?
Used in conjunction with TO1 you have to select APU ON unless A/I ALL is selected.
In case of a MEL is present, use the option APU unserviceable, unless TO1 is needed and A/I ALL is not used.
Can you use the flex take off if ECS OFF?
Yess
How is the FMS speed sequence during departure?
If FMS Speeds are selected before takeoff, then the target speed will be set to V2 and remain unchanged until VR is reached. At this time the FMS will check for an engine failure, and, if this is the case, lock the commanded speed at V2 or current speed up to a maximum of V2+10kts. If no failure occurred, then the commanded speed will be V2+10kts until FLCH is selected.
When FLCH is selected the FMS will check again for an engine failure: if this has occurred, the commanded speed will change to VFS, else will revert to the speed set in the DEPT SPD page (default 210kts) until either the distance or the altitude limit is exceeded, at which time the speed command is changed to the CLIMB SPEED.
During descent until which point you can use FMS speed?
Until the IAF of the expected procedure.
When is it time to perform the before start checklist?
ONLY AFTER ground personnel has reported the area around the aircraft clear of obstructions and non- necessary equipment
loadsheet reports “TRIM/WEIGHT CRITICAL FLIGHT – OBSERVE LMC”, which changes to the load can you accept?
Changes to the load are acceptable only if the resulting aircraft CG moves away from the boundary of the Weight & Balance envelope, as verified on the W&B chart contained in QRH EN Supplementary.
What happens in engine start with ambient temperature below -2 C?
Dual ignition and increased starting fuel flow schedule take place to provide greater torque during engine on ground starts.
Which protection does the FASEC give during ground start? And in which cases you have to manually abort?
FADEC give protection in case of hot start, hot restart, hung start.
Remember that ITT rising represent the light off.
You have to manually abort if:
-No positive oil pressure indication within 10 seconds after N2 speed starts to increase.
- During engine start with tailwind, if a positive increase of N1 is not indicated before starter cutout (50% N2). Consider repositioning.
- if ITT does not rise within 1 minute after fuel is applied (15 seconds after fuel is re-applied).
- ITT exceeds start limit (Hot Start).
- If oil pressure stabilizes below the engine limits. (25 psi)
- N1 and/or N2 failing to accelerate to stable idle speed (Hung Start). (2-4-6)
- An intermittent electrical pneumatic or starter malfunction occurs before the starter disengagement.
Engine start, the FADEC commands an automatic abort with ITT 10 C lower than the limit. Ho many additional start can you try?
Two additional starts without further investigation.
Engine start is aborted because 15” after fuel is re applied there is no ITT indication (no light off) and ENG 1(2) NO DISPATCH” or “ENG 1(2) SHORT DISPATCH” EICAS messages are not displayed. How many additional start can you try?
Only one.
Il fuel ERA quando viene implementato?
In caso si usi la contingency Al 3% o un Critical Fuel Scenario.
In tal caso nel OFP comparirà sulla parte del contingency uno 0.03 e le info validità meteo per il fuel ERA
