Systems Flashcards
When is a complete IR alignment required?
First flight of the day
Crew change
No GPS and NAVAID coverage is poor on the expected route
No GPS and expected flight time is greater than 3 hours
When is a fast IR alignment required?
When a complete alignment isn’t required AND IRS position check is at or above 5 nm

- Low pressure
- Position disagree
ENG ANTI ICE Pb
Fault: Position disagree
Which probes are heated?
- Pitot heads
- Static ports
- AOA probes
- TAT probes
PROBE/WINDOW HEAT Pb
AUTO:
- Inflight - Probes and windows heated automatically
- On ground - windows (low) and probes (except TAT) with one engine running.
ON: Probes come on (except TAT), windows operate at low on the ground
GALLEY Pb
Fault: Any generator load > 100%
BAT 1(2) Pb
FAULT; Charging current out of limits
BCLs auto-logic…
- APU starting
- Loss of AC 1 & 2 and above 100 kts
- Battery charging, when voltage falls below 26.5 and opens when amps fall below 4.
- Opens to prevent batteries from completely draining
IDG Pb
FAULT: Oil outlet overheat (above 180C)
Low Oil pressure (inhibited below 14% N2)
- Don’t push for more than 3 seconds
- only push when engine is windmilling
Autopilot thermal disconnection occurs if temp reaches 200C
GEN Pb
FAULT: GCU tripped
line contractor opened
APU GEN Pb
FAULT: GCU tripped
Line contractor is open
BUS TIE Pb
- Auto ensures AC 1&2 busses are powered
AC ESS FEED PB
ALTN: AC ESS BUS is powered by AC 2
FAULT: AC ESS bus is not powered
GALLEY or GALY & CAB Pb
FAULT: Any generator load is over 100%
Generator ratings
Engine and APU: 90 KVA
Emergency generator: 5 KVA
What are the batteries rated to?
23 amp-hours
Generators in order of priority
Onside generator, External power, APU generator then Offside generator
Predictive Windshear envelope
Takeoff: From 30 kts to 100 kts, then restarts at 50’ to either 1800’ or 2300’
Landing: Either 2300’ or 1800’ down to 50’.
(Goes from warning to caution from 370’ to 50’)
ENG 1(2) FAULT light
M - Malfunction of thrust lever
A - Auto start abort
D - Disagree with HP fuel valve
OXYGEN MASK MAN ON Pb
AUTO: Signal sent to open mask doors - 14,000’ (+250’/-750’)
OXYGEN CREW SUPPLY Pb
Controls LP O2 valve
How long is Pax O2 good for?
15 minutes
Crew O2 mask - Emergency pressure selector
- Pressing creates a temporary over-pressure in the mask
- Turning the knob in the direction of the arrow generates a permanent over-pressure
N/100% selector
100%: Mask delivers 100% oxygen
N: Delivers mixture of air and oxygen
CVR GRD CTL Pb

EMER call Pb
When pushed: - “EMERGENCY CALL” appears on all AIPs - Two pink lights flash on call panels - Three high-low chimes Additional if from the cabin - ATT flashes on ACP - Three buzzers
CVR ERASE Pb
Pressed for 2 seconds - completely erases tape if:
- aircraft is on the ground and
- parking brake on
CVR TEST Pb
Tests if:
- CVR is on and
- parking brake is set
GPWS SYS Pb
