when any of the following conditions exist:
a) Frost is detected below the wing tank area.
b) Aircraft was exposed to low temperatures during the inbound leg and the aircraft returns to flight with little delay on the ground, when the surface temperature is near freezing with high humidity (temperature/dew point spread of less than 3oC
82
Cold Weather Preflight Inspection must be performed when
a) The OAT is 5 deg C or less, or
b) Atmospheric conditions conducive to icing exist, or

86
The Pretakeoff Check Procedure:
a) Is performed by the flight deck crew prior to taking the active runway for departure.
Must be performed anytime the aircraft has been deiced/anti-iced, and a HOT has been established, to ensure critical surfaces remain free of frozen contaminants.
Is performed by the flight deck crew within the HOT, and as close as practical to takeoff, regardless of how much of the holdover time has elapsed or the absence of active precipitation.
Is conducted from whatever vantage point in the aircraft the PIC determines gives an accurate indication of the condition of the representative surface (i.e., flight deck or cabin).
Use wing lighting or flashlights during low light conditions. May be required several times.
87
Clean Aircraft Concept
a. The Ground Deicing Program (GDP) uses the clean aircraft concept, which means an aircraft must not takeoff when frost, ice, or snow is adhering to the wings, control surfaces, engine inlets, and other critical surfaces of the aircraft.
88
Cold Soaked Definition
a. The wings of aircraft are cold soaked when they contain very cold fuel as a result of having just landed after a flight at high altitude or from having been refueled with very cold fuel. When precipitation falls on a cold soaked aircraft, clear icing may occur. Even in ambient temperatures between -2oC (28oF) and +15oC (59°F), ice or frost can form in the presence of visible moisture or high humidity if the aircraft structure remains at 0°C (32°F) or below.
89

* Visible moisture is present, or
* There is moisture on the wing, or
* Wing fuel temperature is 0oC (32oF) or less, and the difference between the OAT and dew point temperature is 3oC (5oF) or less, or
* Atmospheric conditions have been conducive to frost formation, or
* There is standing water, ice, or snow on the runway and/or taxiway.

102
What is a Normal Takeoff
NORMAL TAKEOFF (NRM) UP TO 10 KT TAILWIND
* Line up on the runway and advance thrust to 40% N1, with or without applying the brakes.
* When the engines stabilize at 40% N1, advance thrust levers to TO/GA detent.

* When engines stabilize at 60% N1:
– Releasethebrakes,armtheAT,andslowlyadvanceboththrustleverstoTO/GA detent before 60 kt; or
– MakesuretheAThasadvancedboththrustleverstoTO/GAdetentbefore60kt.
103
Crosswind limit for Static Takeoff
NOTE: Due to the possibility of compressor stall, a static takeoff is not recommended with a crosswind greater than 25 kt.
104
Stabilized Approach Criteria
By 1,000 ft HAT:
* On lateral and vertical profile.
* Airspeed within +15 and -5 kt of VAP
* Sink rate is no greater than 1,000 ft/min; if an approach requires a higher sink rate, a briefing is required.
* The aircraft must be fully configured for landing and the BEFORE LANDING CHECKLIST complete.
When a transient unstable condition or an EGPWS notification occurs at or below 1,000 ft HAT and above 500 ft HAT, the PM states the deviation (e.g., “SPEED” or “SINKRATE”). The PF states “CORRECTING” and makes the proper adjustment. When the deviation from the above criteria is not immediately corrected, the aircraft is considered unstable, and a missed approach is mandatory. The PM will command a go-around by announcing “UNSTABLE, GO-AROUND.”
By 500 ft HAT:
* Airspeed established within the bug with adjustments for gust factor applied, if required.
* Thrust levers above idle.
Except for momentary airspeed and descent deviations, any unstable condition or any EGPWS notification that occurs at or below 500 ft HAT requires a missed approach. The PM will command a go-around by announcing “UNSTABLE, GO-AROUND.”
105
When taxiing onto the runway, the FO turns on what?
All available lights
106
What is a static takeoff ?
Line up on the runway, apply brakes, and advance thrust to 40% N1. When the engines stabilize at 40% N1, advance thrust levers to TO/GA detent. Release the brakes when the takeoff thrust (N1 target) is achieved.
107
When is the Fuel Check completed?

Fuel Leak
Compare the EICAS fuel quantity to the FMS.
109

60 seconds off
3rd start
5 minutes
111

113
When RCC's are not available, what should be used to determine landing performance?
Reported contaminant type and braking action
114
To minimize stopping distance on a wet, slippery, or contaminated runway (RCC 5 or less):
Use autobrake setting MED
* Make a firm touchdown. Such technique avoids hydroplaning on wet runways and reduces the strength of any ice bond that, during flight, might be formed on brake and wheel assemblies.
* Apply maximum reverse thrust. Do not use asymmetric reverse thrust on slippery or icy runways.
* Apply firm and symmetrical brake pedal pressure; do not pump the brakes.
* If the airplane loses friction, do not apply the Emergency/Parking Brake, as it inhibits anti-skid protection.
* Maintain runway centerline with rudder, while maintaining firm and symmetrical braking.
* Landing on a wet, slippery, or contaminated runway with tailwind is not recommended.
* Consider using Maximum Performance Landing techniques.
115
According to the Stabilized approach criteria in the SOPM, what are the requirements by 1,500 HAT or the FAF, whichever occurs first –
By 1,500 ft HAT or the FAF, whichever occurs first:
* Landing gear down
* FLAPS 3
* Airspeed no greater than 180 kt
116

117
What is the Stabilized approach criteria at 1,000’ for a straight in approach –
On lateral and vertical profile
Airspeed + 15 to - 5 kts Vap
VSI no greater than 1000 fpm
Fully configured and before landing checklist complete
118
According the SOPM Maximum performance landing, can the thrust reverse be used until the airplane comes to a complete stop –
Apply maximum thrust reverse. When necessary, the thrust reversers may be used until the airplane comes to a complete stop.
119
When are thrust reversers most effective, high or low speeds
High speed
120
Some abnormal procedures require the use of the Emergency/Parking Brake to stop the airplane during landing. When this happens what protections are not available
Anti Skid not availble

Describe Max Performance Landing
To minimize landing distance, consider the following techniques:
* Use FULL Flaps
* Cross the threshold at screen height of 50 ft and VREF
* Avoid extended flare
* Apply maximum thrust reverse. When necessary, the thrust reversers may be used until the airplane comes to a complete stop.
* Immediately after the main landing gear wheels have touched down, apply firm and steady maximum manual brakes and hold pedal pressure until the airplane decelerates to a safe taxi speed within the runway
* Lower nosewheel immediately

Use of Reverse Thrust
When using reverse thrust, apply consistent with runway conditions and modulate as required. At 80 kt, smoothly reduce reverse thrust to MIN REV by 60 kt and idle thrust by 30 kt.
