Systems Flashcards
Q1: What is the aircraft wingspan in feet with and without winglets?
156’ 1” without winglets = (47.57m)
166’ 11” with winglets = (50.88m)
What height can APU electrical load be used to?
Up to the aircraft ceiling of 43,100ft
What are the 3 types of messages displayed on the EICAS, and how are they coloured and formatted?
WARNINGS (Red) CAUTION (Amber) ADVISORY (Amber and indented)
How are alerting messages arranged?
In order of occurrence, although WARNINGS will always be displayed at the top
When are EICAS warnings inhibited?
At nose gear extension during rotation until the first of:
- 400ft AGL or,
- 20 seconds elapsed time
If a fire occurs during the inhibit period, what indications will be present?
An EICAS warning message L/R ENGINE FIRE, the fuel control switch and engine fire switch will illuminate and the FIRE light
illuminate. The fire bell AND master WARNING lights do not activate until the end of the inhibit period
When are EICAS Cautions inhibited?
The inhibit begins at 80kts and continues to the first of:
- 400ft AGL
- 20 seconds elapsed time following nose gear extension
What is displayed on the lower EICAS when HYD QTY requires a refill?
RF appears in magenta
What is the range of brake temperature units displayed on the lower EICAS?
0 to 9
At what cabin altitude will the fasten seat belt signs illuminate automatically?
Anytime the cabin altitude exceeds 10,000ft
Do the lights fitted to the nose wheel illuminate when the gear is not locked and down?
No, the nose gear landing lights and taxi lights do not illuminate when the gear is not down and locked
What sides of the aircraft are the cargo doors located?
FWD Cargo = Right
AFT Cargo = Right
MAIN (BCF) = Left
Bulk = Left
Is the oxygen indication on the lower EICAS display for crew oxygen or passenger oxygen?
Crew Oxygen. Individual chemical oxygen generators provide the passenger oxygen.
At what cabin altitude will the oxygen masks automatically drop from their PSU’s?
If the cabin altitude exceeds 14,000ft
How is the ELT automatically transmitted?
If high deceleration sensed
At what altitude will the IAS change to MACH (and vice versa) if the speed window is open on a climb or a descent?
In a climb IAS changes to MACH at approx. .80 MACH
In a descent, MACH changes to IAS at approx. 300kts
At what height will LNAV engage if armed on take-off?
50ft
Will LNAV maintain current heading or track when passing the last active waypoint / last waypoint prior to a route discontinuity?
Aircraft heading
The bank limit selector works in which roll modes?
Heading Select only, and NOT in LNAV
What are the 2 ways that Approach mode can be deselected after LOC capture and GS capture?
By selecting TOGA or by disengaging the autopilot and turning off BOTH F/D’s
When will LAND 3 annunciate?
Below 1500ft radio altitude with LOC and GS captured
In a go-around, the auto throttle will command a reference thrust to maintain a climb rate of?
At least 2000 fpm
When does go-around arm, and is there any annunciation to the pilot?
GA arms whenever the flaps are out of up, or at glideslope capture. The only indication to the pilot is that G/A thrust will be
annunciated on the thrust setting
When is ROLLOUT and FLARE armed?
Below 1500ft radio altitude
