By pressing the “CANC” (cancel) button.
Can you ever scroll past a warning message?
No, regardless of what page you scroll to, warning messages remain until they are resolved.
The CAUTION and WARNING light are inhibited on the takeoff roll. What are each of those criteria?
CAUTION light and beeper: Inhibited for new caution messages from 80 knots to Vr + 20 seconds or 400’ AGL (whichever is first.)
WARNING light and beeper: Inhibited for new warning messages when above V1 + 25 seconds or 400 AGL, whichever occurs first.
What would trigger a master warning for takeoff configuration?
ALL:
-On ground
-Fuel control switches RUN
-Engine 2 or 3 is in takeoff range
-Airspeed is less than V1
Plus ONE of:
-Flaps not in takeoff position
-Body gear not centered
-Parking brake set
-Speedbrake lever not in down detent
-Stab trim not in takeoff range
In flight, what triggers CONFIG SPOILERS?
Speedbrake extended past ARM and climb thrust is set for 3 seconds on any 2 engines
When does the C chord sound when approaching a selected altitude?
900’ prior
When does caution message AIRSPEED LOW happen?
When airspeed is below the minimum maneuvering speed
When does warning message OVERSPEED happen?
If VMO/MMO is exceeded
RA in seconds vs TA in seconds
RA: Enter conflict zone 20 to 30 seconds
TA: Enter conflict zone 25 to 45 seconds
