Trouble T mean on SID or Approach Plate
An obstacle penetrates the 40:1 OIS and therefore a departure procedure and/or different weather minimums are published. If there is a trouble T, a diverse departure is not authorized. Look in the front of the approach book for specific guidance or procedures.
What are the criteria for diverse departures?
200’/nm, cross departure end at 35’, climb to 400’ before making any turn.
Difference between “descend via” vs “cleared for” on a STAR
Descend via - follow published vertical lateral guidance
Cleared via - lateral guidance but maintain last assigned altitude
You arrive at an airport and are not on a published transition route and subsequently cleared for the approach, what are your actions.
Maintain last assigned altitude until you are established on a published portion of the approach procedure.

Limitation regarding fuel in the fuselage tank with fuel in the externals?
- Externals should be empty when there is less than 20,000# of fuel in the fuselage tank, or the aircraft is restricted to level flight until external tanks are empty
Differences between “WARNING” and “CAUTION”
- Warning - operating procedure, practice, or condition, etc that may result in injury or death if not carefully observed or followed.
- Caution - operating procedure, practice, or condition, etc that may result in damage to equipment if not carefully observed.
Difference between “Land as soon as possible” vs. “Land as soon a practicable”
- Possible - land at first airfield at which safe landing can be made
- Practicable - means extended flight is not recommended. Landing site and duration of flight is at the discretion of PIC

When do the outboard propellers have permission to autofeather?
Always
When do the inboard propellers have permission to autofeather?
- <15,500’ - after 2 seconds and other engines operating normally
- > 15,500’ or other engines not operating normally the propeller will windmill at 100%
How does the aircraft decide which FADEC is the master?
- Everytime an engine start is initiated with weight on wheels, the FADEC selection automatically alternates
- FADEC fault serious enough to render the control FADEC incapable of safe operations it will alternate
- ALT selection on the FADEC control panel
When does the FADEC not require power from the aircraft electrical system?
at 40% NG it switches to PMA power
When an autofeather criteria is met, what does the FADEC do?
- Attempt to maintain engine speed at idle NG
- If flameout, initiates ignition and monitors for relight
- If no relight occurs by time NG gets below 56%, FADEC shuts off fuel to shutdown engine
Mission computer auto shutdown is disarmed/disabled when?
ATCS switch is selected OFF
Does a FADEC need to be in control in order to be the master for the Prop Synchrophasing?
No
How does the airplane protect against an under speeding propeller?
FADEC decreases blade angle
ATCS schedules power from 50-100% over what range?
40 KCAS
During Ground Operations, where does the air come from for Oil Cooler Augmentation?
14th Stage Bleed Air
In the Ground (BETA) and reverse range, what is the power lever angle (PLA) a function of?
- Ground Range - FADEC schedules blade angle as a function of PLA, NP maintained at 99%
- Reverse Range - FADEC schedules torque as a function of PLA, NP maintained at 101%
In the flight range, how is Horsepower (Hp) and RPM governed?

Action for hot oil while in HOTEL mode?
Place prop switch to normal
Can engines be shutdown in HOTEL mode?
Yes, but is not recommended routinely because of minor oil seal leakage
