Recite ERJ Aircraft Limitations Flashcards
When powering-up the aircraft, what minimum voltage is required? When would you need to perform the SOPM charging procedure?
22.5 Volts, if voltage is between 21V-22V.
After the EICAS is powered, how long must we wait before APU start?
- After verifying there is no fire protection fail messages.
- 30 seconds after EICAS is energized.
Can takeoff/landing occur with the “FUEL IMBALANCE” EICAS message?
Yes, as long as it’s less than 794 lbs.
What’s the minimum fuel tank temperature?
-37C
What is the starter cranking limit for start attempts 1 and 2?
90 seconds.
Minimum time between starts 1 and 2?
10 seconds.
How do the starter cranking limits change in flight?
For in-flight starts, the maximum cumulative starter run time per start attempt is 120 seconds (motoring plus start time).
During an engine start, we must see N1 rotation by what N2?
Positive N1 by 50% N2.
A taxiway is NOTAM’d closed to aircraft with wingspan over 100’. What is the wingspan of the ERJ-175?
Wingspan of 93’11”.
For takeoff, what is the maximum brake temperature?
Must be green.
What is the maximum tailwind component allowed for takeoff?
15 knots.
Are static takeoffs recommended with a crosswind component greater than 25 knots? Why?
No, due to engine compressor stall possibility.
After takeoff, when can the autopilot be engaged?
400’ AFE.
What is the minimum runway width allowable?
100’.
ATC reports moderate and possibly greater turbulence ahead. What’s the turbulent air penetration speed? Is it a target or a maximum speed?
270 knots/0.76M, whichever is lower. This is a target speed.
An IDG fails in flight, and the QRH instructs you to start the APU. What is maximum start altitude?
30,000’.
Minimum OAT for APU start and operation?
-54C.
Maximum APU operation altitude (after start)?
33,000’.
What is the maximum crosswind (crew limit) for a dry runway?
38 knots.
What is the maximum crosswind (crew limit) for a wet runway?
31 knots.
What is the maximum gear extension/retraction/operation speed?
250 knots.
If flying a CAT II approach, what flap setting is required?
Flaps 5 mandatory.
What is the maximum wiper speed?
250 knots.
True/False: We can use RNAV (GPS) LP minima.
False.
When approaching flaps full, what is the go-around flaps setting?
Flaps 4.
Can you attempt a go-around after deployment of the thrust reversers?
No.
True/False: Precision approaches are recommended, when available.
True.
Do the controls and throttles need to be guarded during all phases of the approach and landing when the auto-flight system is engaged? Why?
Yes, the pilot must be prepared to manually land or initiate a go-around anytime if necessary.
Is it permissible to turn the Landing Lights off while on an approach in IMC if they pose a distraction?
Yes.
Is it recommended that the PM call out any observed deviations while on approach?
No, it is mandatory.
What is the PF’s verbal response after immediately correcting a deviation on an approach to landing?
Correction.
What is the PM’s deviation callout with a descent rate greater than 1,000’/minute on an approach to landing?
Sink rate.
What magnitude of deviation from the glide path requires a callout by the PM? What is the SOPM callout?
Greater than one dot, glide path.
When are speed deviation callouts required on an approach to landing? What is the callout?
Target -5, or any speed less than Vref, whichever is higher, speed.
On an approach, what bank angle would be considered a deviation? What is the PM’s callout?
Greater than 25 degrees, bank.
What is the responsibility of the PM if the EGPWS fails to make callouts automatically?
Perform the expected callouts.
It is critical to a safe operation that pilots meet stabilized approach criteria by what altitude?
1,000’.
What is the maximum speed allowed above target on approach at 1,000’? What would the PM call out if the PF exceeds this speed?
+15, speed.
What is the latest position on the approach to plan for landing gear down? Is there a planned speed at this position as well?
By 1,500’ or the FAF, whichever occurs first. Yes, 180 knots.
What speed is mandatory by 500’ on approach to landing? What thrust setting?
Airspeed within the bug, thrust above idle.
If any of the planned parameters are not met on approach to landing at or below 500’ AGL, what is the PM required to do?
Direct a Go-Around.
