Q

when do we need a second alternate

A

you can depart to a destination reporting less than req’d min’s using exemption 3585, conditional language must indicate the forecast wx conditions at the destination will not be less than 1/2 the lowest wx min’s visibility established for the instrument approach procedure expected to be used

you must add a 2nd alternate airport.

The first alternate can have conditional wx as well, in ceiling and visibility, but the 2nd alt must be reporting in the main body and condition wx above min’s

Q

Describe the electrical PBIT

A

It is performed anytime ac power is established on the aircraft. It takes 3 minutes to complete and is good for 50 hours.

It can be interrupted 3 ways.
By interrupting AC power,
pushing any one of the 3 flight control mode switches,
by turning on a hydraulic pump

Q

How do you get a green light on the nose gear

A

Parking brake off and main brakes not applied
steering switch in ext power panel must be in disengaged–
This will also disengage the steering inside (steer off)

Q

With an inop APU, why do we start the #2 engine first

Q

Which engine do we normally single engine taxi on and why

A
#1,  
because system logic will turn on the #2 hyd pump with only the #1 engine running, whenever the parking brake is released, and the pump knob is in auto.  this will give us pressure to the INBD brakes which are on sys 2.  

The pump will turn off 6 mins after the parking brake is set. it will come back on when the brake is released again

Q

Can we single engine taxi on the #2 engine

Q

when do we select ENG ON for Taxi/Takeoff

A

temps between 5-10C and there is any possibility of encountering visible moisture up to 1700 AFE
or operating on contaminated ramps or taxiways

22
Q

When do we select A/I All for takeoff

A

Temps below 5 degrees C and
any possibility of encountering visible moisture up to 1700’ AFE
operating on contaminated ramps or taxiways

23
Q

what is SkyWest min speeds in icing conditions

A

maximum endurance speed or 210kts whichever is higher

24
Q

If the Wings are set to on for takeoff, when will they turn on

A

40 kts

25
Q

If Eng anti ice selected on, when will it turn on, on the ground

A

after engine start

26
Q

When will the ice protection turn on in flight

A

automatically when ice is detected above 1700 agl or 2 minutes after t/o

27
Q

you see a “Wing A/I Valve open msg after T/O, why might that be

A

It is a normal test upon reaching 10,000’ agl or 10 minutes after takeoff. It will run for 1 minute or until all slat temp sensors increase by 10 degrees C

28
Q

Who arms the autothrottles and when

A

the captain will after runway verification and lined up on the runway

29
Q

What should be on your FMA before Takeoff

A

White (To) Autothrottles
Green Roll in later mode
Green TO in Vnav

Remember “To roll To”

30
Q

What color is ATTCS before Takeoff

A

White

31
Q

When does ATTCS turn Green

A

when the thrust levers reach TOGA

32
Q

When will ATTCS command RSV

A

Thrust levers at TOGA and one of following
Difference between both engine N1 value is greater than 15%

one engine failure during takeoff or go around

Windshear detection

Or when ATTCS is engaged and thrust levers are put into MAX

33
Q

How do you know that ATTCS worked

A

The green ATTCS will disappear and the cyan thrust mode will be displayed with a RSV indication

34
Q

Describe “HOLD” mode

A

it deactivates the autothrottle servos between 60 kts and 400’. this is to “lock” in the takeoff thrust setting and also to prevent the autothottles from increasing thrust during a rejected takeoff

35
Q

What is Track mode

A

Track mode is used to intercept and maintain an inertial derived airplane track from the IRS during Takeoff and Go around

It activates at 100kt and with bank less than 3 degrees on takeoff

on a go around it activates when Toga button is pushed

36
Q

What are the recommended climb, cruise and descent speeds

A

250 kts below 10,000’
290 to .74 above 10,000
cruise .74 or .78 per dispatch
descent .78 to 290 to 250 below 10,000’

These numbers are still changing but this is the latest

37
Q

Describe driftdown procedure

A

allow autothottles to advance to TOGA
disconnect A/T verify “CON”
adjust Alt selector to appropriate alt, (approx. 20,000’) according to QRH
Set driftdown speed (green dot)
when reaching green dot select FLCH
notify ATC, run appropriate checklist and monitor descent

38
Q

Why are we disarming the auto throttles on a driftdown procedure

A

We are getting the thrust to CON (max continuous) we disconnect them to allow us to descend in FLCH in Speed on Elevator and maintaining green dot
i.e. a slow descent rate at max power, stay as high as possible for as long as possible

39
Q

What system powers the nose wheel steering

A

HYD 2

40
Q

What happens when you push and illuminated cargo fire switch in flight

A

the high rate bottle will discharge followed by the low rate bottle 1 minute later unless you push it earlier

41
Q

Will the low rate cargo bottle discharge automatically on the ground

A

no, you must push the button again

42
Q

Can you discharge the cargo bottles in flight without a fire msg

A

yes, push the button once to arm it, a second time to blow the bottles according to logic

43
Q

Can you discharge the cargo bottles on the ground without a fire msg

A

yes, push the button once to arm it, a second time to blow the high rate bottle and a 3rd time to blow the low rate bottle

44
Q

what happens when you push the dump button in auto mode

A

packs and recirc fans turn off
outflow valve climbs the cabin to 12,400’ at 2000fpm
at 12,400 the outflow valve closes and the cabin rises by natural leak

45
Q

What happens if you push the dump button in manual mode

A

The packs and recirc fans turn off only

46
Q

When do we adjust for icing speeds

A

when Advisory msg Ice conditions is announced. or Stall prot ice speeds

found in QRH or Acars

47
Q

How do you calculate Vap speed

A

non-ice conditions
vref +5 min or take 1/2 steady state headwinds plus the full gust factor up to max of vref + 20

ex. landing rwy 36
vref is 130
winds are 360@10 gusting to 20
Vap would be 145kts

icing conditions
vap would be min of vref new +0 up to vref new +20

48
Q

How long for engine cool down

A

2 mins

49
Q

How many batteries for the emergency lights

how long will they last

A

4, 10 minutes

50
Q

Can you put out an engine fire with the airplane depowered

A

yes, the fire bottles are located on the hot battery buses
