Start - Taxi - Takeoff - Climb Flashcards
Preflight
Prior to APU start, wait ______________?
Prior to APU start, wait 15 seconds after the left CCR is online.
Preflight
Left CCR online is indicated by
the Captain’s inboard and lower display unit
showing the default formats
Both pilots will use the HUD (if operative) during all approaches when the visibility is less than
4000 RVR (1200m) or 3/4 mile visibility. The HUD is recommended for all takeoffs and landings.
One pilot must have VSD displayed when
for takeoff, landing and all other flight operations below 10,000 AFL. Use of VSD is recommended for all flight
operations.
Autothrottle Use
Autothrottle use is recommended during all phases of flight. When in manual flight,
autothrottle use is also recommended, however manual thrust control may be used
to maintain pilot proficiency.
Preflight
IRS selectors If already ON,
OFF 30 seconds, then ON.
Verify that the ON BAT Light is extinguished.
Verify that the following are sufficient for flight: • Oxygen Pressure - ETOPS- - Non-ETOPS- • Hydraulic quantity • Engine oil quantity
• Oxygen Pressure
- ETOPS-Minimum bottle pressure is 1250 psi at 70°F
- Non-ETOPS-Minimum pressure is 800psi at 70°F
• Hydraulic quantity
- RF or OF not displayed
• Engine oil quantity
- 20 quarts (min)
The MAIN BATTERY LOW message
The MAIN BATTERY LOW message can show when power is established.
The main battery is charging and when the battery charge is sufficient for
takeoff, the message blanks.
Simultaneous engine start is only allowed when
the APU is running and both
APU starter generators are operational.
Autostart monitors for:
• Loss of both starters
• No N1 Rotation
• No oil pressure rise
If any of these occur, the EEC aborts the autostart and the message ENG AUTOSTART L, R displays.
Autostart corrects for:
- High residual EGT
- Hot start
- No EGT rise
- Loss of one starter
- Start duty cycle exceedance
- Compressor stall
- Hung start
If the EEC is unable to correct for a hung start or compressor stall,
EEC cancels the autostart and the EICAS message ENG AUTOSTART L, R displays.
There is a limit of ___ start attempts on the ground.

Engine warm up requirements
Engine warm up recommendations:
Engine warm up requirements:
• Engine oil temperature must be above the bottom of the temperature scale.
Engine warm up recommendations:
• Run the engines for at least 3 minutes.
• Use a thrust setting normally used for taxi operations.
Taxi Wind Limits
