10 min prior to pushback
unless required for passenger comfort
To allow flight control built in test (PBIT) to complete, How long after power up can any hydraulic pump be turned on?
3 minutes
If Electrical PBIT is interrupted what message appears?
FLIGHT CONTROL NO DISPATCH
CAUTION MESSAGE IN EICAS
How do you clear a
FLIGHT CONTROL NO DISPATCH
EICAS CAUTION MESSAGE
Power down the airplane, wait at least one min
then power up
Before selecting ground power (pushing the GPU button in) What is done?
Verify,
Available light,
on GPU button is illuminated
What do you do to the GPU Button if Ground power is not available?
Verify
GPU BUTTON
OUT
If AC power is lost, what is accomplished?
- shut down via leaving the Airplane checklist
- re-power via Safety and power up checklist
Prior to APU start, what positions should BAT 1(2) be in
BAT 1 - on / BAT 2 Auto
How do you transfer AC power source from External to APU?
- APU GEN Button IN
- GPU switch/light AVAIL
- GPU Button OUT
How is AC power transferred from APU to gound power (EXternal)?
GPU switch/light AVAIL illuminated,
GPU button IN
APU shutdown.
What will improve cockpit and cabin cooling on ground?
- AIR COND RECIRC IN
- TEMP CONTROLLERS COLD
- DOORS AND WINDOWS CLOSED
- PASSENGER CABIN GASPERS OPEN
- WINDOW SHADES CLOSED EXPOSED SIDE
What will/may happen if the PACKS and ground air are used simultaneously?
AIR conditioned pressure may become excessive.
(PBIT) consists of two different tests?
Electrical (E-BIT)
Hydraulic (H-BIT)
When is the E-PBIT automatically performed.
- Automatically after power up by intial AC source
- takes plus or minus 3 minutes to complete
What will interrupt the “E-PBIT” test
3x3
- any hydraulic pump running,
- Flight control mode panel switches are cycled,
- AC power interruption
What is displayed if the EBIT test is inturrupted?
FLIGHT CONTROL NO DISPATCH
EICAS MESSAGE
When PBIT is in process, What EICAS is displayed?
FLT CTRL TEST IN PROG
When is the H-PBIT test performed.?
All three hydraulic systems are pressurized.
Hydaulic systems are pressurized in order 3,1,2
What will interrupt the “H-BIT” test?
1x1
Movement of any flight control surface
What does the FLT CTRL BIT EXPIRED, EICAS message mean?
If the last successful PBIT test was more than 50 hrs old.
Where can the elapsed time between PBITs be found (display/page)
FLT CTRL synoptic page
FLT CTRL BIT EXPIRED message remains after completion of
E-BIT Or E-BIT is intrurrputed. About to expire or Expired.
What should flight crew do?
- Power Down using Leaving the Airplane Checklist
- Wait a min of 1 minute
- Power up using Safety and Power up Checklist
- Wait 3 min for E-BIT to run
- Perform H-BIT if required
FLT CTRL BIT EXPIRED
message remains after completion of
H-BIT Or H-BIT is intrurrputed. About to expire or Expired.
what should flight crew do?
Perfom appropriate PBIT as outlined on 4-1-12 of he ERJ SOPM
- Do not move any flight controls
- Confirm STEER OFF EICAS message illuminated
IF STEER OFF not illuminated Press steer disengage switch
If STEER OFF is illuminated Procced to step 3
- Select HYD Synoptic page confirm all three hydraulic systems below 250psi and reservoir temp above +10c
- Turn Electrical hydraulic pumps 1,2,3a, on
- wait 60 sec
- VERIFY FLT CTRL BIT EXPIRED message extinguishes
- Turn Electrical HYD pumps 1, 2 to auto, 3A, off
When must the hydraulic systems warm-up procedure be accomplished?
Before starting the engines when the reservoir temperatures are below -18*c
How do you accomplish the HYDRAULIC SYSTEMS WARM-UP
Use QRH or SOPM?
What would cause an airspeed to be displayed on the PFD following (usually the first) power up?
Frozen moisture inside the ADSPs
What EICAS messages will/could be associated with an erroneous airspeed on the PFD on the ground?
ANY OR ALL
- AFCS FAULT
- AT FAIL
- AP FAIL
- FD FAIL
- YD FAIL
- APPR 2 NOT AVAIL
- ADS messages on EICAS
When must the Air Data Smart Probe (ADSP) heater procedure be accomplished?
First flight of the day (FFOD)
OATs below -18*c (0*f)
- ADSP heat ON
- PBIT COMPLETED (3min to complete)
- Verify clock on Flight Control Synoptic page resets to 50 hours
- IF PBIT does not run or PBIT countdown clock fails to reset
- After any ice in smart probes has had a chance to melt power down, wait 1 min, power up using normal procedure
- Flight Control PBIT should run properly
VERIFY
- no airspeed data is displayed on both PFDs
- all EICAS messages cleared
- ADSP Heat OFF
If ADSP heater procedure does not clear spurious AFCS
(PFD) and ADS EICAS messages, what must be done?
call MX control
When a RAM AIR FAULT advisory message remains for more than one minute after power up.
What is the clearing procedure?
- PACK 1 and PACK 2 PUSH OUT wait 5 secs
- PACK 1 and PACK 2 PUSH IN
- Fault message is considered nuisance no further action if message clears
- Message does not clear. Considered actual RAM AIR failure
- report to maint.
