SOP Flashcards
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?
Chapter 9 of the Aircraft Performance Manual
Max holding speed - min holding alt through 6,000 ft
200 KIAS
Max holding speed - 6,001 ft through 14,000 ft
230 KIAS (may be restricted to 210 KIAS)
Max holding speed - above 14,000 ft
265 KIAS
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
When will windshear conditions not be detected?
if either EGPWS or the Radar Altimeter is unavailable
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?
If a “PULL UP” or “TERRAIN, TERRAIN PULL UP” alert occurs at night or in IMC
EGPWS recovery action and callouts (PF)
- Autothrottles disconnect, “FIREWALL THRUST”, set firewall thrust
- Autopilot disconnect, roll wings level, rotate to 15 degrees, respect stick shaker/buffet
- Confirm speedbrakes stowed, do not alter gear/flap configuration until terrain clearance is assured
- Climb to a safe altitude, resume normal flight
EGPWS recovery action and callouts (PM)
- verify all actions complete, monitor radio altimeter and callout flight path information (“300 FEET DESCENDING, 400 FEET, CLIMBING)
- call out the safe altitude “MSA IS 3,400 FEET”, advise ATC
Resolution advisory (RA) action
press and hold TCS and follow RA PFD guidance, respect stall, GPWS, or windshear warnings, perform go around with CLIMB RA and in landing configuration
Stall recovery technique (PF)
- autothrottle disconnect, “FIREWALL THRUST”, set firewall thrust
- autopilot disconnect, roll wings level
- adjust pitch as required, respect stick shaker/buffet
- confirm speedbrakes stowed, do not alter gear/flap configuration
- resume normal flight, retract gear/flaps as required
Stall recovery technique (PM)
verify all actions have been complete, monitor and call out flight path information “300 FEET DESCENDING, 400 FEET CLIMBING”
Fly By Wire Power Up Built-In Test (PBIT) consists of:
- a 3 minute electrical test
- a one minute hydraulic test
Perform PBIT test if “FLT CTRL BIT EXPIRED” EICAS message is displayed
When will an electrical PBIT test be interrupted?
- any hydraulic pump is running
- the Flight Control Mode Panel switches are cycled
- The AC power supply is interrupted
When do the PBIT tests activate?
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
Which lights are turned on for the preflight inspection?
RED BCN and NAV lights
Static dischargers per wing
3 on the aileron and 6 on the winglet
Static dischargers on tail
3 on each elevator and 4 on the rudder/vertical stabilizer
