32
Q

for all EICAS status messages

A

from engine start to 30 minutes after lift-off.

33
Q

through 400 feet RA or until 20 seconds after rotation,

A

all EICAS communication messages

(except CABIN ALERT and the aural chime) are inhibited.

34
Q

The master CAUTION lights and beeper are inhibited

for new EICAS caution messages displayed during the inhibit period,

A

which begins at 80 kt airspeed and ends at 400 ft Radio Altitude or 20 seconds

after lift-off, whichever occurs first.

35
Q

If a rejected takeoff is initiated above 80 kt, the inhibit continues

A

until the airspeed is less than 75 kt.

36
Q

If the master CAUTION lights illuminate before reaching 80 kt airspeed,

they continue to be illuminated when 80 kt airspeed is exceeded

A

and cannot be extinguished until the inhibit ends.

37
Q

All EICAS advisory messages are inhibited from 80 kt airspeed

until 400 ft Radio Altitude or 20 seconds after lift-off,

whichever occurs first, or

A

if takeoff thrust is not selected on both engines.

38
Q

The master WARNING lights and fire bell are inhibited at V1

A

until one of the following, whichever occurs first;

400 ft Radio Altitude or 25 seconds after V1.

39
Q

If the master WARNING lights illuminate and the fire bell sounds before reaching V1,

A

they continue to be illuminated and sound when V1 is exceeded.

40
Q

New PWS caution alerts are inhibited from

New PWS warning alerts are inhibited from

A

80 kt airspeed to 400 ft Radio Altitude.

100 kt airspeed to 50 ft Radio Altitude.

41
Q

EICAS takeoff configuration warnings are inhibited

A

when airspeed exceeds V1.

42
Q

All PWS alerts are inhibited from 1,200 ft Radio Altitude on takeoff

A

until on approach.

43
Q

All PWS alerts are inhibited from

T

A

2,300 ft Radio Altitude down to 1,200 ft Radio Altitude.

44
Q

All EICAS communication messages, except CABIN ALERT,

are inhibited from

A

800 ft Radio Altitude until 75 kt airspeed on landing.

45
Q

The STATUS cue for all EICAS status messages is inhibited from

A

800 ft Radio Altitude until 75 kt airspeed on landing.

46
Q

The EICAS alert message WINDSHEAR SYS is inhibited from

A

400 ft Radio Altitude to 80 kt airspeed on landing.

47
Q

New PWS caution alerts are inhibited below

A

400 feet Radio Altitude.

48
Q

New PWS warning alerts are inhibited below

A

50 ft Radio Altitude.

49
Q

When LAND 2 or LAND 3 is displayed on the PFD

and the aircraft is at 200 ft Radio Altitude on approach,

the master CAUTION lights and beeper

are inhibited for all EICAS caution messages,
except

A

AUTOPILOT,

AUTOTHROTTLE DISC,

NO AUTOLAND

and SPEEDBRAKE EXTENDED.

The inhibit ends at 75 kt airspeed on landing,

or when 40 seconds have elapsed,

or at 800 ft Radio Altitude on go-around.

50
Q

Failure of the EGPWS terrain functions

will not affect the operation of the basic GPWS functions.

If the GPS position is lost,

A

EGPWS capabilities are also lost.

51
Q

With the terrain function enabled (OVRD not selected),

an automatic pop-up display feature provides

A

automatic display of terrain for both pilots if

an alert occurs and neither pilot has the terrain display selected.

The display will remain until the following occurs:

the threat no longer exists,

or the TERR switch is manually deselected.

52
Q

When the terrain display is selected to the ND,

terrain is depicted as variable density dot patterns in

green, amber, and red. Magenta will be shown in areas of

A

the world where terrain data is not available.

53
Q

Note that although no antennas are associated with the EGPWS,

the terrain display is generated from

A

the radar display bus.

Therefore, a sweep is built into the display.

54
Q

The Ground Proximity Warning System (GPWS) is distinct from the EGPWS previously discussed.

Below 2,450 feet the GPWS provides

A

immediate alerts for potentially hazardous

flight conditions involving imminent impact

with obstacles and the ground.

55
Q

GPWS immediate alerts are based on

A

Radio Altitude,

Barometric Altitude,

ADIRS,

glideslope deviation,

and airplane configuration.

56
Q

A GPWS caution or warning does not necessarily guarantee

obstacle or terrain clearance

A

as some obstacles or terrain

ahead of the airplane

may exceed the available climb performance.

57
Q

When the airplane is higher than 2,000 ft

above the terrain, obstacles and terrain peaks are displayed

A

using solid, high density,

and low density contours of green.

58
Q

When an OBSTACLE alert occurs

while a TERRAIN alert message is displayed,

the OBSTACLE alert message

A

replaces the TERRAIN alert message.

Both messages will not be displayed at the same time.

59
Q

When the aircraft is 40 to 60 sec from projected impact with terrain,

A

the voice annunciation

CAUTION TERRAIN, CAUTION TERRAIN sounds.

60
Q

When the aircraft is 20 to 30 sec from projected impact with terrain,

A

the voice annunciation TERRAIN, TERRAIN, PULL UP, PULL UP sounds.

61
Q

GPWS windshear detection begins at rotation and is enabled

A

while the aircraft is below 1,500 ft Radio Altitude.

62
Q

In flight with the WXR switch pushed or not pushed,

the weather radar begins scanning

for windshear below 2,300 ft radio altitude

and PWS alerts are enabled below

A

1,200 ft radio altitude.

63
Q

The advisory message CONFIG WARNING SYS indicates

A

that a fault has been detected in the configuration warning system.

Radio altitude voice callouts and other aural alerts may not be available.

64
Q

The advisory message GND PROX SYS indicates

A

some or all ground proximity alerts may not be provided.

Ground proximity alerts which occur are valid.

65
Q

The advisory message TERR POS indicates position data for the ND terrain

map and look-ahead terrain alerts have been lost.

Ground proximity alerts which occur

A

are valid.
