Q

How long do they remain illuminated?

A

Approx 10min

22
Q

How are the emergency lights charged?

A

DC bus 1 powers 4 emergency light power units with internal batteries

23
Q

What happens when you pull the fire handle?

A
Closes:
Fuel SOV
Hyd SOV
Bleed air SOV
Cross Bleed SOV
24
Q

Why are we required to push the cargo smoke button an additional time to discharge the low rate bottle on the ground?

A

As a precaution measure to prevent blowing the 75min discharge bottle on the ground

25
Q

According to the SOPM, how long should we delay APU start before pushback?

A

10min

26
Q

What is the minimum temperature to start the APU?

A

-54

27
Q

When shutting down the APU, what is the difference between pushing the EMER STOP button and turning the APU master switch to OFF?

A

The EMER stop shuts down the APU with no cool down period

The stop selector kills the bleed air then powers down after 1min

28
Q

If performance requires ECS OFF, what operational considerations exist with respect to the APU?

A

Leave the APU on or consider an unpressurized takeoff

29
Q

How long can the aircraft be unattended while the APU is running?

A

5min

30
Q

What is the maximum speed for the wipers?

A

250

31
Q

Do the wipers operate together or independently?

A

independent

32
Q

When should taxi lights be on? Off?

A

Taxi, takeoff up to 10,000ft. After landing clearing the runway. Off all other times

33
Q

When does the SOPM require the NAV lights to be turned on?

A

After establishing AC power

34
Q

How do you initiate a hydraulic PBIT?

A

Pressurize all 3 hydraulic systems or start engine 1

35
Q

List the ways in which a hydraulic PBIT can be interrupted?

A

Moving the flight controls

36
Q

What temperature will inhibit the hydraulic PBIT? Why?

A

10C. More likely to get a flt control no dispatch message

37
Q

When is a hydraulic warm up test required?

A

If hyd temp is lower than -18C for ENG start

If hyd temp is lower than 10C and Hyd PBIT test is required

38
Q

What is the purpose of the PTU?

A

Assist in landing gear retraction or extension should eng 2 or edp2 fail

39
Q

What is the EICAS message associated with a hydraulic PBIT?

A

FLT CTRL IN PROG

40
Q

How is normal hydraulic pressure, temperature and quantity determined during the Originating Checklist?

A

ACMP 3A on
ACMP 1 on
ACMP 2 on

41
Q

When must a hydraulic PBIT be completed without interruption?

A

If it is about to expire
