  2. start extinguishers at 50% RPM,
  3. 99% for 2 seconds the AVAIL illuminates in green
38

40
Q

When will a trim CLACKER activate?

A

After 3 seconds of trim Input/the AP senses a trim runaway

41
Q

What kind of action does a warning require?

A

Immediate

42
Q

What kind of action does a caution require? Can you box a caution message?

A

Prompt action. You can box a caution and it will remain boxed if others are displayed.

43
Q

When is the cockpit voice recorder activated?

A

As soon as DC Power is established (BATT MASTER ON)

44
Q

At what percentage RPM will the FADEC alternator power itself?

A

50%

45
Q

What are you looking for on the EICAS for APU shut down?

46
Q

What is motive flow?

A

Ejector pump‘s use motive flow which comes from the engine driven fuel pumps. It is suction created by low pressure that moves fuel out of the tank

47
Q

Under what 5 conditions will the autopilot automatically disconnect?

A

YD fail, FCC 1/2 fail, Windshear warning, stall warning, unusual attitude

48
Q

How does fuel get to the APU during non-normal situation?
