Subtask: 10.1.1 Operate Warning Systems Flashcards
Define an advisory message, status message, caution message, and warning message.
Advisory (cyan): indicates operational or airplane conditions that require crew awareness. Subsequent or future crew action may be required.
Status: (white) indicates information/status messages. The pilot can use the system efficiently when the appropriate action is accomplished.
CAUTION: (amber) indicates an abnormal operational or airplane system conditions that require immediate crew awareness and should require a subsequent corrective or compensatory action.
WARNING: (red) indicates an emergency or airplane system condition that requires immediate corrective or compensatory crew action.
Understand the parameters necessary for a takeoff configuration aural “TAKEOFF OK” or “NO TAKEOFF”.
“NO TAKEOFF”
-Flaps are not in the takeoff position
-Flaps position is not in agreement with the flaps position selection in FMS takeoff page 2/2 -Parking brakes are applied
-Pitch trim is out of the green range
-Any spoiler panel is deployed
“TAKEOFF OK”
-Flaps are in takeoff position
-Flap position agrees with selection in FMS takeoff page
-Parking brake released
-Pitch trim in green range
-Spoilers stowed
Understand how and if you can scroll through EICAS messages if too many are displayed.
Use the format location button on CCD (cursor control device) to populate the EICAS Then, use the tuning controller to scroll to the next page if too many are displayed.
Understand when windshear escape is performed
The windshear escape maneuver is performed whenever the following happens:
• A warning windshear is annunciated during approach.
• A caution windshear is annunciated during approach and the Captain decides to perform the windshear recovery technique.
• Whenever the captain decides to perform the recovery techniques due to the presence of windshear cues without EGPWS announcement Windshear escape maneuver due to EGPWS announcement.
Windshear escape maneuver with EGPWS announcement
• Advance thrust levers to MAX and press the TOGA button;
• Follow flight director guidance;
• Do not change flaps or landing gear configuration until out of the windshear condition and terrain clearance assured;
• Reduce thrust to climb power, retract landing gear and slats/flaps when the airplane is out of the windshear condition.
NOTE: PM states “CLIMBING” or “DESCENDING” based upon VSI indication until the aircraft has returned to a safe airspeed and altitude. When the Caution/Warning WSHEAR indicator on the PFD disappears, the PM states “WINDSHEAR WARNING GONE” or “WINDSHEAR CAUTION GONE.” When the radar altimeter indicates less than 1,000 ft AGL and the airplane is descending, the PM calls “DESCENDING (___)” based upon the RA value observed.
Windshear escape maneuver without EGPWS announcement
• Disengage autopilot
• Advance thrust levers to maximum thrust
• Maintain a pitch angle 20° or PLI, whichever is lower.
NOTE: When advancing the thrust levers, press either GA switch. Maintain the actual aircraft configuration (landing gear and flaps) until 1,500 ft AGL and terrain clearance is assured.
What does it mean when an EICAS message has a chevron ( > ) next to it?
Messages which may generate more message with them are called “root EICAS” messages and they are highlighted by a preceding chevron
When will an EGPWS warning occur?
The EGPWS calculates these seven basic functions by comparing the airplane position to an internal terrain database to output alerts and displays that show the airplane situation.
Mode 1 - Excessive descent rates with SINK RATE and PULL UP aural warnings.
Mode 2 - Excessive terrain closure rates with TERRAIN, TERRAIN and PULL UP aural warnings.
Mode 3 - Altitude loss after takeoff with a DONT SINK, DONT SINK AURAL WARNING.
Mode 4 - Unsafe terrain clearance with TOO LOW TERRAIN, TOO LOW GEAR and TOO LOW FLAPS aural warnings.
Mode 5 - Excessive deviation below glideslope with a GLIDESLOPE aural warning.
Mode 6 - Advisory callouts with BANK ANGLE, MINIMUMS and selected altitudes aural warnings.
Mode 7 - Windshear alerting as “CAUTION, WINDSHEAR” and “WINDSHEAR (x3)”
When will a traffic advisory populate? Resolution Advisory?
Traffic Advisory (TA) is annunciated when other airplane is approximately 35s to 45s from the TCAS collision area
Resolution advisory (RA) is annunciated when other airplane is approximately 20s to 30s from TCAS collision area
What is the recovery procedure for a TA? RA?
TA recovery:
• PF places hands on the control column and thrust levers to be prepared to react to TCAS resolution
• PF visually searches for the intruding aircraft and maneuver to maintain separation only when the traffic is acquired visually
• PM turns all external lights and the seat belt sign ON
• PM refers to the TCAS display, states the relative position, and assists the PF in a visual search for the intruder. When a deviation is required after visual acquisition of the intruder, notify ATC as soon as practical.
RA recovery:
