Question 1

The PSEU light is inhibited .

a. In flight, after landing and with auto-throttle switch ON
b. In flight, when engine power reaches takeoff thrust, after landing
c. In flight, when thrust levers are advanced towards takeoff power, for 30 seconds after landing
d. In flight, with auto-throttle ON, for 30 seconds after landing

Answer 1

In flight, when thrust levers are advanced towards takeoff power, for 30 seconds after landing

Reference: FRM 15.2.4.3

Question 2

The weather radar automatically begins scanning for windshear when .

a. Thrust levers set for takeoff, but not if engine is off or IRS not aligned
b. In flight below 2,300 ft RA (predictive windshear alerts are issued below 1,200 ft RA)
c. Thrust levers set for takeoff, even if engine is off or IRS not aligned
d. Both b and c

Answer 2

Both b and c

Reference: FRM 15.2.7.2

Question 3

During the Captain’s originating pre-flight flow, the stall warning test and Mach airspeed test were missed. Once airborne, can the tests be accomplished?

a. Yes, both can be tested in flight
b. Mach airspeed test can, stall warning test cannot
c. Neither can be tested in flight
d. As long as AC power is available, both can be tested in flight

Answer 3

Neither can be tested in flight

Reference: FRM 15.1.4

Question 4

The Terrain elevation number displays the elevation of the highest and lowest terrain. The Amber elevation display indicates .

b. Amber – terrain elevation is between 500 ft below and 2000 ft above aircraft altitude
c. Amber – terrain elevation display is unreliable
d. Amber – terrain elevation display warning alerts inhibited

Answer 4

Amber – terrain elevation is between 500 ft below and 2000 ft above aircraft altitude

Reference: FRM 15.1.7.2

Question 5

a. Transponder display indicates 8888, ATC fail light illuminates for three seconds
b. Transponder display indicates 0000, ATC fail light flashes for five seconds
c. Transponder display indicates 8888 for three seconds, ATC fail light flashes for three seconds
d. Transponder display indicates 0000 for three seconds, ATC fail light illuminates for three seconds

Answer 5

Transponder display indicates 8888, ATC fail light illuminates for three seconds

Question 6

If you conduct a stall warning test and the control column does not shake, what might be the problem?

a. AC power is not available to the system
b. No problem, the control column makes a noise but does not actually shake
c. The leading edge devices have “drooped” due to lack of hydraulic pressure
d. Both a and c

Answer 6

Both a and c
