Taxi/ground operations/takeoff Flashcards
When crossing a runway, all lights should be____.
ON
What if after disconnecting communications with the ground crew, you need to talk to them again?
Flash the taxi light 3 times
What TCAS mode should you be in during ground operations?
XPDR
What is the maximum N1 that should be used on the ground?
45% N1
What is normal taxi speed?
About 20 knots
What speed can you taxi if you are on a long straight taxi route?
30 knots
What is the maximum speed to take a turn on dry turns that are sharper than a high speed runway exit?
10 knots
Should you use differential braking and braking while turning?
No
When is an engine run up procedure required?
When OAT is 3 degrees or below and anti ice is required.
What is the engine run up procedure for the GE?
60% N1 for 30 seconds. Do at intervals of every 30 minutes.
Are you allowed to use assumed temperature method for wet runways?
Yes
Are you allowed to use assumed temperature method for contaminated runways?
No. You may still use derate, but not assumed temperature method.
What defines a contaminated runway?
Slush, snow, standing water, or ice.
Takeoffs are not recommended when slush, wet snow, or standing water depth is____.
more than .5 inches (13 MM)
Takeoffs are not recommended when dry snow depth is more than_____.
4 inches or 102 MM
Define icing conditions.
When OAT (ground) or TAT (air) is 10C or less and there is :
-Ground clutter (Ice, slush, standing water, snow)
or
-Visible moisture (1SM (1600M) or less counts as well)
When must a runway change checklist be performed?
If the runway is changed after the TAKEOFF BRIEFING.
Do not follow flight director until____
After liftoff
A ____ takeoff is the preferred method.
Rolling
What do you stabilize the engines at before pressing TOGA on takeoff?
70% N1 (GE) or 1.1 EPR (PW)
How do you accomplish a standing takeoff?
Hold brakes, stabilize engines, release brakes, press TOGA
You only have ___ seconds to stabilize the engines. Any longer and you will eat up too much runway.
2 seconds
A headwind of ____ knots or more can cause the HOLD mode to engage before full takeoff thrust is set. You should set it manually.
20 knots
The use of stab trim during takeoff is____.
Not recommended.
On takeoff, rotate the aircraft about_______
2.5 degrees per second to 15 degrees nose up. Then come into the flight director once airborne.
With the main wheels on the ground, at what nose up degrees will the tail strike?
12.5 degrees pitch
Engine surge can occur with a strong crosswind or tailwind if takeoff thrust is set before brake release. Therefore, a rolling takeoff is strongly advised when crosswinds exceed ___ knots or tailwinds exceed _____ knots.
Crosswinds: 20 knots
Tailwinds: 5 knots
Takeoff on untreated snow or ice should only be attempted when______.
No melting is present
For crosswind takeoffs, apply forward pressure until about____. (For strong crosswinds, may be full deflection)
80 knots
For crosswind takeoffs, begin takeoff roll with ailerons_____.
Neutral (Then gradually add aileron as needed)
During gusty and strong crosswind takeoffs, consider using thrust settings_____.
That are near the maximum thrust setting. (Minimizes time exposed to gusts)
Strong crosswind: During rotation, maintain aileron deflection throughout____
the rotation, and then slowly let out aileron and rudder once fully off the ground.
