Power Plant

Question 1

Engine Stabilization - Engine Warm up

Answer 1

Engine Warm Up - Engine must remain IDLE until oil pressure reaches normal operating range. During all starts, do not exceed 75% N1 for two minutes after start, or until all operating indications are in the normal range, whichever is longer

Question 2

Engine Stabilization - Prior to Takeoff

Answer 2

Engine must be running at least two minutes prior to Takeoff.

Question 3

Prior to Shutdown

Answer 3

Operate the engines at IDLE for a minimum of two minutes to dissipate heat and stabilize internal operating temperatures. Taxi time at 80% or below may be included in the two minute cool down period.

Question 4

Aircraft Cold Soak

Answer 4

Before the first flight of the day, when the aircraft is cold soaked at an ambient temperature of -30C or below for more than eight hours, the engines must be motored for 60 seconds and fan rotation must be verified before start is initiated.

Thrust reversers must be actuated until the deploy and stow cycles are less than five seconds.

Question 5

Continuous Engine Ignition

Answer 5

Must be used during the following:
-Takeoff and landing on contaminated runways.
-Takeoff with high crosswind component (greater than 10 KTS)
-Flight through heavy or intense rain.
-Flight through moderate or heavier rain intensity turbulence.
-Flight in the vicinity of thunderstorms.
-Engine operation at or near shaker and pusher settings is predicated on an operable auto-ignition system.

Question 6

Starter Cranking Limits(Ground)

Answer 6

The starter must not be used if indicated N2 rpm exceeds 55%.

Engine Start
START 1
-MAX TIME ON 1 minute
Followed by: 10 seconds off

Any further starter attempts shall be made in accordance with the ABNORMAL section of the QRH.

Question 7

Associated Conditions

Answer 7

At initiation of thrust lever movement from the SHOT OFF to IDLE:
-ITT must be 120C or less for all ground starts

Question 8

Reduced Thrust

Answer 8

In determining the assumed temperature, when the reduced engine thrust takeoff procedure is used the take off performance data for APR OFF must always be utilized.
-Reduced thrust can not be used if the normal takeoff fan speed is less than 85% N1.
-If reduced thrust can be used, the fan speed for the reduced engine thrust must not be lower than 85% N1.

Question 9

Reduced Thrust - Must NOT be Used

Answer 9

If wing and/or cowl anti-icing bleeds are in use.

On runways contaminated with standing water, slush, snow or ice.

When warnings of wind shear or downdrafts have been forecast.

Question 10

Reduced Thrust - Actual Temperature and Wet Runways

Answer 10

For actual temperature, use the current surface weather, do not use indicated SAT form the EFIS. This information is not valid on the ground.

The reduced engine thrust procedure may be used on wet runways, provided that wet runway performance data is not used.

Question 11

Max fuel imbalance

Answer 11

800lbs

Question 12

Max Fuel Quantities

Answer 12

Pressure Refuel
L(R) 4,760 lbs
Center 4,998 lbs
Total 14,518

Gravity Refuel
L(R) 4,488
Center 4,930
Total 13,906

Question 13

Takeoff Center Fuel Tank

Answer 13

Takeoff with fuel loads in excess of 500lbs in the center tank is not permitted unless:
-Each wing tank is above 4,400 lbs

or

Each main wing tank is above 2,000 lbs and
-the allowable ZFW is reduced by the weight of the fuel in the center tank in excess of 500lbs and;
-The CG in this configuration is verified to be within the allowable CG envelope as calculated from the aircraft Wight and Balance Manual.

Question 14

Minimum Fuel Quantity for go around

Answer 14

900 lbs
450lbs per wing.

Question 15

PATS Tanks

Answer 15

593 Gal
3973 lbs

Question 16

Takeoff Cross flow

Answer 16

Powered cross flow and Gravity cross flow must be off for takeoff.
