Q

What is indicated by an amber “SPEED BRAKE EXTENDED” CAS message?

A

The speed brakes are extended with the power levers above idle

17
Q

How many speed brake panels are on the airplane?

A

6 total; 2 outboard, 1 inboard per wing

18
Q

Can the stall barrier switch be selected OFF in flight?

A

Yes, however an operative stall barrier system must be ON during all flight operations unless it is malfunctioning

19
Q

How high do the spoilers come up using the automatic ground spoiler deployment?

A

55 degrees

20
Q

How high do the spoilers come up using only the speed brake handle to deploy the spoilers?

A

30 degrees

21
Q

The VREF speed that is shown in the display controller is based upon what?

A

Flap handle position

22
Q

What must be done in order to manually trim the elevator?

A

Turn the pitch trim switch OFF

23
Q

What are the maximum speeds for 10°, 20°, & full flaps?

A

250 KCAS, 220 KCAS, & 170 KCAS (non-SP), 180 KCAS (SP)

24
Q

What is the maximum altitude for operating flaps 39 °?

A

20,000 feet

25
What is the maximum altitude for operating flaps 10° or 20°?
45,000 feet
26
What precaution must be observed prior to pulling the flight power shutoff handle?
Retract the speed brakes to preclude the possibility of asymmetric spoiler panel blow-down
27
What conditions must be met in order for the ground spoilers to deploy?
1. Power on the L MAIN DC bus 2. Ground spoiler switch armed 3. Both power levers at idle 4. Both nutcrackers in the ground mode, or wheel spin-up
28
What does a blue "RUDDER LIMIT" CAS message indicate?
The rudder is displaced to its maximum travel for the conditions,
29
What does an amber "SNGL RUDDER LIMIT" CAS message indicate?
A failure of the dual load limiter (assuming combined and flight system pressures are normal). Avoid abnormal rudder deflection
30
What is the minimum speed with the yaw damper inoperative?
Maintain at least 220 KCAS above 18,000 feet
31
What is the limitation to observe with the mach trim inoperative?
MMo is reduced to 0. 75 MT
32
Can the aircraft be dispatched with one stall barrier system inoperative?
Yes, with reference to the MEL
33
Can the aircraft be dispatched with vortex generators or static wicks missing?
Yes, with reference to the CDL (AFM Appendix B)
34
What is the maximum fuel quantity permitted for takeoff with the yaw damper inoperative?
9,000 lbs
35
What are the limitations associated with the use of the speed brakes?
Speed brakes are not approved for extension with flaps at 39° or with landing gear extended
36
Can the aircraft be dispatched with the automatic ground spoilers inoperative?
Takeoff is permitted with the ground spoilers inoperative, provided anti-skid is operative and flaps 20° are used for takeoff
