Oral Study Flashcards
What are required items you should bring to work
Certificate, passport, medical, radio operators permit, company ID, flashlight, headset,
Line captain, flying with SIC who has less than 100 hours
what are the limitations
PIC must make all takeoffs and landings when at special airports prevailing visibility is @ or below 3/4 mile RVR for runway is @ or below 4000 Contaminated runway braking action less than good crosswind <15 kts windshear in area PIC discretion
what makes an airport special
FAA administrator or SkyWest make designate an airport special if it has surrounding terrain, obstructions, or complex approaches,
Basically if it has a briefing pictures in the Jepp Charts
labeled as airport qualification
When do we need an alternate
if within 1 hour before to 1 hour after estimated arrival time, the wx reports, forecasts, or any combo indicate the ceiling will be less than 2000’ above elevation, and or visibility less than 3 miles
When does a Metar report with ceiling lower than 2000 or 3 miles require an alternate, even if the forecast does not require an alternate
on flights with less than 1 hour enroute time
when do we need a second alternate
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
Cold dark cockpit, what items should you look for

When you turn the batteries on, what do you look for
Voltage of 22.5 volts or better
if voltage is between 21.0-22.5, charge the batteries referencing chart in SOPM
if voltage is below 21 volts call mx
Describe the electrical PBIT
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
Describe the Hydraulic PBIT
It is performed when all 3 hydraulic systems are first pressurized. It takes 1 minute to complete and it is good for 50 hours
It can be interrupted by moving a flight control
how long does the evacuation slide light battery last
10 mins
in an electrical emergency do the flaps still work
yes, at a slower speed, and they will only go to a max of 3 in order to provide adequate airspeed for the RAT
What are the 4 things you get back when the RAT powers the AC ESS BUS
AC fuel pump 2
ACMP hyd pump 3A
1 channel of slats
1 channel of flaps
When will the APU Auto shutdown in flight
U…….Underspeed
F……..Fadec Fault
O……..Overspeed
When will the APU auto shutdown on the ground
U……Underspeed
F……..Fadec Fault
O…….overspeed
S........loss of signal H........high oil temp E....... high egt L......... low oil pressure f.......... Fire
How do you get a green light on the nose gear
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)
With an inop APU, why do we start the #2 engine first
The ground connections for the ext power and high pressure air, are on the left side of the plane
Which engine do we normally single engine taxi on and why
#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
Can we single engine taxi on the #2 engine
YES, by following a QRH procedure which will have us turn on the #1 hyd pump to provide pressure to the outboard brakes
Do you need to reference the QRH for a crossbleed start
No, it is an SOP procedure
