Warning Systems Flashcards
What makes up the warning system?
- EICAS
- GPWS
- TCAS
What is inhibited during TO?
- The Master Warning Lights and Fire Bell are inhibited from rotation (nose gear extension) until 400’ RA or 20 seconds.
- Still get Fire Light and EICAS Message.
- After Rotation, TO Configuration warnings are inhibited.
- The Master Caution and aural indications are inhibited after 80 KIAS until 400’ or 20 Seconds after rotation, or in the event of a RTO, 75 KIAS.
- Datalink Lost EICAS message (from Thrust Set)
- Windshear Sys EICAS message (from Thrust Set until 400ft or 20sec)
What is inhibited during Landing?
- EICAS Comm alerts (SELCAL, ACARS, PRINTER)
- The Cabin Alert CHIME
- Inhibit starts descending below 800’ AGL and terminates at less than 75 KIAS or 900’ AGL on a GA.
What is Message Inhibit?
- When Fuel Control Switch in Cutoff, L ENG SHUTDOWN replaces individual messages.
- ## When you have multiple failures in one system, it will consolidate EICAS Messages.
Describe the Alert Message Inhibits.
- Some alert messages will inhibit others that are lower priority or connected.
- Certain alert messages are time delayed, to avoid excessive EICAS messages due to changing conditions / in transit erroneous indications.
- Altitude alerting is inhibited in flight, with the landing gear down and locked.
What will trigger a TO CONFIG Warning?
- Armed when on the ground and thrust is in the takeoff range on either engine.
- Consists of Master Warning, CONFIG warning light, aural warning siren, and associated EICAS message.
- FLAPS (not in TO position or disagree with lever)
- Parking Brake
- Spoilers (not in down detent)
- Stabilizer (not in Green band, nose up side only)
Can only be silenced by retarding thrust levers or correcting condition.
If thrust is reduced msg remains for 10sec so to identify the problem.
What will trigger a LNDG CONFIG Warning?
- In flight, LG NOT down and locked, AND
- flaps are at 25 or 30, or
- any thrust lever is at IDLE below 800’ RA
- Master Warning light and Aural Warning
- CONFIG Warning Light.
- Cannot be deactivated by pressing Master Warning Light
Can you cancel an airspeed warning?
YES! by pressing master warning
GPWS MODES
EEAUBBW
1) . Excessive Sink Rate
2) . Excessive Terrain Closure
3) . Altitude loss after TO
4) . Unsafe terrain clearance floor not in LDG config
5) . Below GS
6) . Bank Angle
7) . Windshear
GPWS Mode Priority
7). Windshear
1). Excessive Sink Rate (“Sink rate pull up”)
2). Excessive terrain closure (“terrain, terrain pull up”)
Then
-Look ahead terrain
-Look ahead obstacle
-PWS Warning
When does PWS auto display on HSI?
BLW 1200ftAGL
PWS alert occurs
WX display is not selected by either pilot and
Respective HSI is in VOR,APP,MAP or CTR MAP mode
If both pilots are on TERRAIN mode and PWS alert occurs what happens
If there is not an active TERR alert then PWS replaces TERR.
Can be deselected by pushing TERR
Will you get a TCAS TA/RA if TFC is not selected ON?
Yes
What master warning cannot be silenced?
Landing config
Autopilot disc
Takeoff config
Overspeed
When will you get an ALT ALERT
- When deviating 300ft from selected ALT.
- Will stay until back within 300ft or greater then 900ft.
- Inhibited when all LDG gear down and locked
Crew alertness monitor?
Cruise - advisory 35 min, caution 2 min later, warning 1 min after caution
Cruise to descent transition - advisory at TOD if no input for last 10 min, caution 2 min later, warning 1 min after caution
TERR WARNING - How long till impact?
TERR CAUTION
20-30sec
40-60sec
TOO LOW GEAR
Envelope penetrated Below 190 kts
