What situations require the donning of oxygen masks?
- Loss of cabin pressure (aircraft altitude above 10,000’)
- Use of fire extinguisher
- First indication of noxious fumes/smoke
When is the speed reduction for holding initiated?
3 minutes or less from clearance limit so that the aircraft will cross the fix, initially, at or below the maximum holding airspeed
Where are the minimum holding speeds found?

When is windshear detection activated?
between 10 and 1500 ft radio altitude during the initial takeoff, go-around and final approach phases of flight
When is windshear escape guidance mode engaged?
Manually: pressing the Go Around Button while a windshear is detected
Automatically: operating in go-around or takeoff mode and a windshear condition is detected
Automatically when thrust levers position is above 78 degrees and a warning windshear condition is detected

Windshear recovery maneuver actions and callouts (PF)
- Autothrottles disconnect, “FIREWALL THRUST”, press TO/GA, set thrust
- Autopilot disconnect, roll wings level
- Rotate toward 15 degrees pitch then follow FD (if EGPWS inop rotate to 15 degrees or PLI, whichever is lower)
- Respect stick shaker, do not alter gear/flap configuration until terrain clearance is assured
- Resume normal flight path, retract gear/flaps
Windshear recovery maneuver actions and callouts (PM)
monitor and call out information on flight path (“300 FEET DESCENDING; 400 FEET CLIMBING”), advise ATC
The windshear escape maneuver should be performed whenever the following happens:
- a warning windshear is annunciated during approach or after lift-off
- a caution windshear is annunciated during approach and the captain decides to perform the recovery
- a caution windshear is annunciated after lift-off
- Whenever the captain decides to perform the recovery techniques
When must an EGPWS recovery be initiated?

Fly By Wire Power Up Built-In Test (PBIT) consists of:

electrical - automatically upon power up
hydraulic - all three hydraulic systems are pressurized for at least one minute and the reservoir temperature is greater than 10C
When will a hydraulic PBIT test be interrupted?
any flight control surface is moved while the test is running
When must the hydraulic systems warm-up procedure be accomplished?
before starting engines in case of reservoir temperatures below -18C

Engine start procedure
Start/Stop…START, then RUN
Observe N2 increasing
7% N2…IGN A or B displayed
20% N2…N1 increasing, fuel flow increasing
at lightoff (within 5 s after fuel flow)…ITT increasing
at approx. 50% N2…IGN A or B extinguishes, oil pressure positive
Engine warm up time
Before applying takeoff thrust, allow the engines to warm up for two minutes (begins at ITT red line rescheduling)
Abnormal engine start conditions
- no oil pressure indication at idle N2
- oil pressure stabilizes below the engine limits
- hung start (stagnant N1 or N2)
- hot start (rapid ITT rise or ITT above red line)
- no ITT rise within 5 seconds on ground or 30 seconds in flight after fuel flow is started
- an intermittent electrical pneumatic or starter malfunction occurs before the starter disengagement

Engine severe damage is initially identified by:
- decreasing engine N1/N2 and vibration indications
- vibration/noise from affected engine
- yaw
- surge/stall
Engine severe damage can be confirmed after airborne by:
- seized N1 or N2
- zero oil pressure
- ITT rise
- vibration indications
After confirming engine severe damage follow:
- normal climb profile except fly the runway heading or follow the applicable route manual “engine failure - takeoff” procedure
- QRC “Engine fire, Severe Damage, or Separation” procedure
3 types of compressor/engine stalls:
- single or multiple compressor/engine stalls prior to self recovery
- multiple compressor/engine stalles requiring pilot action to recovery
- a non-recoverable compressor/engine stall
Compressor/engine stalls are initially identified by:
- loud bang and yaw
- vibration
- engine instrument fluctuation
- ITT rise
- flames from inlet and tailpipe
Compressor/engine stalls can be confirmed after airborne for:
single/multiple with self recovery - engine returns to normal
multiple requiring pilot action - stall symptoms cease when the thrust lever is retarded
non recoverable - stall symptoms do not cease until engine is shut down or fails
After confirming compressor/engine stalls follow:
- normal climb profile except fly the runway heading or follow the applicable route manual “engine failure - takeoff” procedure
- QRC “Engine fire, Severe Damage, or Separation”
Engine failure initial callout
The first pilot recognizing the engine failure will make the callout “Engine Failure”, but will not identify the engine.
