When may a Thruflight Setup Check be performed in lieu of a full Setup Check? AOM - Section 4 - Page 38 | ▪ Crew keeps the same aircraft ▪ Crew remain the same, one flight crew member remains on board ▪ Aircraft remains energized ▪ No maintenance action When one of the criteria listed above doesn't exist, a full Setup Check must be accomplished. |
When must a Terminating Check be accomplished? AOM - Section 4 - Page 191 | When the aircraft is to be completely powered down or left unattended |
When is the After Start Check accomplished? AOM - Section 1 - Page 9 | After second engine start When planning a single-engine taxi, after the intitial engine start, at the PIC's disrection, the DELAYED AFTER START items will be accomplished. The AFTER START checklist is performed at completion of the second engine start. |
What are the engine start abort criteria? AOM - Section 6 - Page 1 | ▪ Hot start ▪ N2 steady (hung start) ▪ Noise or vibration ▪ Indicate abnormal conditions ▪ Visible burning ▪ Oil pressure does not reach at least 34 psi The FADEC will not shut down the start sequence. |
What limitations exist for using the ALT/TO thrust mode for takeoff? AOM Section 9 - Pages 26 and 27 | SWAP18 - Windshear, Anti-Skid, Slippery, Performance, 18 flaps |
What are the procedures for landing with a tailwind? AOM Section 9 Pages 31 and 32 | Tailwind adjustments are always required for landing with a tailwind. Assuming a landing is attempted with a tailwind of less than 10 knots (aircraft limitation) |
When do we need a takeoff Alternate | Whenever the airport of departure meets takeoff minimums, but not PIC landing minimums, a takeoff alternate is required. |
What is the proper response to windshear on takeoff? AOM - Section 7 - Page 23 | ▪ Apply max thrust ▪ Disengage AP, press the TO/GA activate the windshear escape, rotate smoothly to the command bar. ▪ Adjust pitch ▪ Maintain configuration until terrain contact is no longer a factor |
What controls the starting and normal operation of the APU? ASM - Section 9 - Page 3 | The APU operates under the full authority of its own FADEC |
What does turning APU master knob to the ON position do? ASM - Section 9 - Page 6, and AOM - Section 4 - Page 19 | Energizes the FADEC Commands the fuel shutoff valve in the belly to open Enables APU indication and alarms on the EICAS. |
Which electrical busses can the APU energize as the sole source of electrical power? ASM - Section 5 - Page 2 | In flight: ▪ All of the busses, minus the shed busses On the ground: ▪ All of the busses, assuming the shed bus switch is in the OVRD position |
What is the maximum altitude for APU start? AOM - Section 2 - Page 10 | FL300 |
What is the maximum altitude for APU operation? AOM - Section 2 - Page 10 | FL370 |
What are the minimum cool-down periods before subsequent APU start attempts? AOM - Section 2 - Page 11 | After 1st attempt ▪ 1 minute After 2nd attempt ▪ 1 minute After 3rd attempt ▪ 30 minutes |
How is a fire detected by the APU? ASM - Section 7 - Page 2 | By its own dedicated fire loop. Without pilot intervention, will automatically shut down after 10 seconds due to any heat-related malfunction on the ground. In flight, the APU will NOT shutdown automatically for a heat-related malfunction. |
