Q

What do high density red, yellow, green, and light density cyan dots represent on the Terrain Awareness Display?

A

High Intensity Red = Elevation > 2000’ above airplane’s altitude
High Intensity Yellow = 1000’ - 2000’ above airplane’s altitude
High Intensity Green = Terrain that is the middle elevation band when there is no red or yellow terrain areas within range on the display
Light Density Cyan = Zero’ MSL

Q

If ADS 3 fails, then what?

A

the respective x-side ADS is used (ADS 1 reverts to ADS 2)

17
Q

What happens if you press the ADS Button?

A

The onside ADS reverts to ADS 3

18
Q

What happens if you press the ADS button 2x?

A

Respective onside ADS reverts to the x-side ADS

19
Q

What happens if you press the ADS button a 3rd time?

A

Respective onside ADS returns unless it has already failed

20
Q

Is there an automatic reversion for an IRS failure?

A

No, it must be manually reverted

21
Q

What happens if the IRS button is pushed?

A

the respective IRS reverts to the x-side IRS source

22
Q

How would the pilot know if the ADS or IRS button has been pushed?

A

An ADS or IRS Flag would be displayed on the associated PFD

23
Q

What is the primary flight instrument if both IRS’s fail?

A

IESS (Integrated Electronic Standby System)

24
Q

How many IRS units are there?

A

2

25
Q

What is the function of the EICAS FULL Button?

A

Inhibits the auto declutter function

26
Q

When will the EICAS display all of its info?

A
  1. Gear is down, flaps extended, or spoilers deployed under normal conditions
  2. APU running
27
Q

What color is the course needle (CDI) when using the FMS, VOR/LOC, and x-side data?

A

FMS = Magenta
VOR/LOC = Green
X-Side Info = Yellow

28
Q

Which runways are included in the EGPWS database?

A

Runways > 3500’ in length with a published approach

29
Q

When should the ‘GND PROX TERR INHIB’ button be pushed?

A

To cancel unwanted terrain alerts when operating at airports not in the EGPWS Database

30
Q

What will generate a WDSH Caution and Warning?

A

Caution: Increasing headwind and/or updrafts
Warning: Decreasing headwind, increasing tailwind, and/or downdrafts

31
Q

What is our policy for Caution/Warning Windshear encounters?

A

Caution: CA or Crew Discretion
Warning: Firewall Thrust and climb in current config. until warning ceases

32
Q

Will the autopilot deactivate during windshear guidance?

A

Yes

33
Q

What is checked when you press the T/O Config. Button?

  2. Spoilers - Stowed
  3. Flaps (Set for Takeoff)
  4. Pitch Trim (Set for Takeoff)
34
Q

How is the pilot alerted during a windshear?

A

Caution:
1. Amber windshear flag on PFD
2. Aural - “Caution, Windshear”
Warning:
1. Red windshear flag on PFD
2. Aural - Windshear, WIndshear, WIndshear”

35
Q

What does a red ATT or HDG Flag on PFD indicate?

A

Attitude or HDG can’t be determined by associated IRS

36
Q

What does a red ‘X’ on the ASI, Altimeter, or VSI indicate?
