Takeoff on Climbing we get Reverser Unlocked on climbout what do we do?
Aviate Navigate Communicate get out the checklist.
When are reversers usually unlocked?
On the ground due to air ground logic with reversers at idle.
Never say “affected side”
Say “Right thrust lever” or “left thrust lever”
Takeoff flaps are normally what?
5, 15, or 20
What does A/T Arm Switch do?
Arms the auto-throttles to become active when an auto throttle mode is selected.

C2 Pump
What does EICAS Stand for?
Engine Indication Crew Alerting System
APU selector from OFF to ON what happens?
- Opens APU Inlet Door
- Energizes the ECU
- Energizes DC Fuel Pump in the Left Wing (if no AC power available) If it is available the left forward wing AC fuel pump is signaled to operate regardless of its switch position and the DC fuel pump is signaled off)
What does Fault Light mean on APU start?
Fuel Valves are opening
What happens when you move APU to start?
Selector Off to On to Start- it’s spring loaded so make sure it going back to On
-ECU unit begins start sequence of APU
-you will see fault light depicted ON then OFF- APU fuel valve went full open from full closed
RUN light will flicker twice (2 self test of circuitry for APU start)
Run light will come on and stay on steady- apu is now started
3 start attemps in 1 hour allow 1 min cooling between attempts
95% power is available- Run light stays on steady
When do you get steady run light?
95%
Ground Prox Flap Ovrd Switch does what?
Will get “too low flaps” without this pushed.
Allows me to land in a non standard config for landing.
Inhibits aural warning for the GPWS if the flaps are up
“Ground Prox Flap Ovrd” Switch does what?
Will get “too low flaps” without this pushed.
Allows me to land in a non standard config for landing without getting all the cautions and warnings for the position of the flaps.
Inhibits aural warning for the GPWS if the flaps are up.
TA Only will do what?
Prevent you from getting an RA.
(Like SFO on final)
(we inhibited this on the rev unlocked checklist because the TCAS if we got an RA is predicated on us having 2 engines climb rate so whatever it told us would be inaccurate)
What part of our wing gets anti ice?
Outboard leading edge slats
How long are our wings? No winglets
156’ 1
How long are our wings? Winglets
166’ 11
Landing at nearest suitable airport would be in concurrence with who?
Dispatch- they have internet!
If you have a flap look silly, can you make the decision to declare emergency?
No- you’re joint release with dispatch just call them and talk about it
When are you in ice crystal icing?
Authrottles Fighting to Maintain Power
Red Amber Radar
~0 C
Under an anvil of a storm, smells like atmosphere in the air, convective activity
What heats the tail?
Nothing! It doesn’t have any tail anti ice.
Why do I have to turn my wing anti ice on in ice crystal icing conditions below 22,000 feet?
Flameout mitigation: Prevent engines from having a cough! To increase bleed output on the engine to make it work harder and faster to keep itself clear of ice.
If we have to use alternate method to extend trailing edge flaps, why do we do this
Cautious to create an asymmetrical condition so Leave well enough alone
What holds reverser closed in the air?
Pneumatics
What moves flaps in alternate?

When are auto brakes 3 and greater required?
CAT II and CAT III
Wet runway-must use autobrakes 3 or greater
What is considered wet runway by visibility?
3/4 of a mile or 4000 RVR- if below this, must use autobrakes 3 or greater
When do we get to the airplane?
1:30 minutes prior to departure
What bus is powered when we walk up to the airplane?
Ground Handling Bus
What is powering the Ground Handling Bus?
APU or External Power
How will I be able to clean up crumbs?

Stby power moved to AUTO does what?
If we lose AC power we will get DC power Powers 4 Busses
-Stby AC
-Stby DC
-
Where do we get DC power from?
Inverter
Stby power moved to AUTO does what?
If we lose AC power normally we will get DC power through inverters. Powers 4 Busses
Stby power moved to AUTO does what?
Allows Reversion to the battery. If we lose AC power normally we will get DC power through inverters. Powers 4 Busses
4 Busses from selecting STBY Power are?

Selecting BAT on the STBY power switch does what?
Standby power will now be only off the main battery and turns off the battery charger.
What bus does the battery charger come from?
Ground service bus
How many hydraulic electric primary pumps do we have?
2
C1 & C2
How many hydraulic demand pump switches do we have? What are they powered by?
3
1 ADP powered by Air
Why do we make sure hydraulic demand pump switches are off when doing electrical power up?
Don’t want to move anything hydraulically powered to hurt someone on the ground.
Why do I specifically want Center System Off for power up?
Sources for electricity are APU or EXT Power- Starting with APU will move air to move ADP and that will not be good.
Why do we want Landing Gear Handle Down?
We are on the ground
Why do we want Alternate Flap selector in NORM during power up?
They move electrically- we are applying electricity and don’t want them to move when we bring electricity onto the plane.
Why do I want BUS TIE switches in Auto?
I want them to distribute power and also to prevent paralleling. We have ground power and APU power coming so we must be cautious of paralleling.
If AVAIL light is on what does this mean?
Voltage and Frequency are adequate to power all busses
Push AVAIL light how many busses are powered?
ALL OF THEM! We can see now!
Starting Preflight- what are we checking in the logbook?
*don’t apply power without checking LOGBOOK FIRST
*don’t apply power without checking LOGBOOK FIRST
Match Tail with Log and with OFP
DDG for operating limitations or crew procedures- if something not in there that should be call mx
Deferrals
Autoland
Max Thrust Takeoff (if a 200)
LOOKING for Daily and Transit Check
How long for Autoland check?
30 days
Max Thrust Takeoff required on 300?
Don’t usually do but Dispatch will let you know!
When do you have to do MAX thrust takeoff check?
On the 200’s and 28 days max
When do we need a daily check?
Every 48 Hours from Block Out
i.e. we completed daily check at 10Z but didn’t block out till 16Z -the clock doesn’t start till 16Z
Can we keep operating beyond 48 hours if we took off at 47 and a half hours?
NO- Can NOT fly beyond 48 hours.
Daily check would’ve had to of been completed before block out.
Transit Check required when?
Every time we touch the ground unless we do a daily- Daily supersedes a transit check.
HOBOS
H ydraulics- Looking for “No RF” .75– “No OF” would be at 1.22
O xygen- 1250 / 1350 ETOPS- looking up for supernumeraries
B rake Parking Brake- Set It and check brake wear indicators during exterior inspection
O il Qty- 17 qts prior to engine start
S tatus Messages- Go through procedure to clear them. First square, first circle, last circle
When I set the Parking Brake what am I doing?
Press Toe Brakes and pulling parking brake handle : opens Brake Valves & closes return fluid from anti skid
Locks toe brakes in open position.
Why will the accumulator brake indication stop at 1000?
Nitrogen Pre Charge in accumulator pushes plunger of remaining pressure into the system at a minimum.
After setting parking brake and I turn on hydraulic pumps what happens?
Valves are open so when I apply pressure the hyrdaulic fluid will go into the valves to the brakes and squish calipers together. It will then come out through anti- skid and hit the parking brake valve - this pressure on the parking brake valve will set the brake.
Can I set parking brake without electricity?
Yes off the hot battery
Cyan Carrots displayed with a blank page below what do you do?
Brightness may be the issue! (turn it up)
If it had failed, it would condense the data and turn on the the Standby Engine Instruments
IRS- Off to NAV position- what is first thing I’ll see?
ON DC lights illuminate then extinguish- self check to see if it can find that source of power.
DC Fail light will illuminate if it’s unavail
After ON DC what does it show?
Steady Align Light
If ALIGN light flashes what does this mean?
NO BAD MOVE
IRS Fault Light indicates what?
Fault with IRU
What is the priority of entering your position?
GPS Position
Last Position
Airport Reference Position(find on jepp chart or if it’s in database use that)
If we use the airport reference point that is right in the center of the airport and we are more than 2 miles away from that position when we align the airport what will happen when we takeoff?
Beyond 1.8 miles when we push the thrust button the position will not update to the runway position. This is why we use gate position from -9 page.
If it shows 7 in the window when I’m aligning how long do I have to align left?
7 minutes or more-
takes 10 minutes usually
If in higher latitude could take up to 17
How do I quick align?
Align then back to NAV
Can only do quick align from an aligned system.
Do it to fix extreme map shift.
If IRS position starts flashing what is it telling you?
Go to SP
ATT Mode means what?
You’ve lost alignment
-Enter a heading from Mag Compass
Electronic Engine Controls do what?
Atmospheric Compensation Bleed Compensation Auto Religh Approach Idle Overboost & Overspeed
If an EEC fails what mode does it go to? What does this mean?
Alternate Mode
Disconnects A/T
So they don’t keep moving
Match the throttles and can turn autothrottles back on
Are now missing overboost protection and just have overspeed protection
Overboost
Over torqueing the engine on the king air
relationship between N1 and power-
Fault in EEC- Lose Overboost protection
What do I lose when EEF fails and I am in alternate mode?
Overboost Protection
Atmospheric Compensation - throttles will stay in same position as you climb so you need to move them accordingly
What 2 systems need to be operational for Yaw Dampers to work?
Hydraulic System
1 IRU
Overspeed
Overspeed: RPM protection:If you lose control of the engine – will have Protection of RPM in Normal mode. The EEC will take fuel away from fuel metering unit to make sure you don’t hit 117.6 on the red tick. Red tick (117.5) on the N1 gauge.
What does SYS pressure light mean?
System in entirety is unpressurized.
QTY light on Hydraulics
Less than 50% hydraulic fluid in that reservoir
What else is in a hydraulic reservoir?
Positive Head Pressure from Pneumatic Ducts to prevent Cavitation
Why is Center Hyd System heavy system?
Gear & Flaps -Big heavy stuff moving
What is Right Hyd System known for?
Normal Brakes- Gives you normal anti skid
What is Left Hyd System known for?
Rudder Ratio System
Flight Controls- Aileron elevator and rudder
Yaw Damper for Center System (remember the X)
Left system gets help from right system when?
