Stabilized Approach Criteria | 2000' AFL to 1000' AFL: 2000 FPM, +/- 1.5 dots [] 1000' AFL to 300' AFL = 1000 FPM, +/- 1 dot [] 300' AFL to 50' AFL: 900 FPM +/- 1 dot. [] AIRSPEED - Max deviation from 1000' AFL to airspeed reduction is +10, -0 kts. |
RVSM Requirements | *Between FL290 and FL410* -A/P w/Altitude hold - Altitude alerting system - 2 Mode C transponders - 2 Independent primary altimeters. |
Auto Pressureization Climb/Descent Rates | 650 FPM in climb/-450 FPM in descent. *If A/C is descending >2000 FPM, rates increase to between -450 FPM and -1300 FPM. |
What enables windshear escape guidance mode? | -Manually, by pressing a G/A button during windshear alert. -Automatically, when in a T/O or G/A mode when windshear is detected. -Automatically, when T/Ls max and a DECREASING windshear is detected. |
Flight Level Change values | *Climbing 0'-10,000' = 240 kts 10,000' - 12,000' = 240-270 kts linearly 12,000' - 17,377' = 270 kts 17,377' - 37,000' = 0.56 Mach *Descending 37,000' - 12,000' = -2000 FPM 12,000' - 10,000' = -2000 FPM to -1,000 FPM <10,000' = -1,000 FPM |
APU Automatic shutdown conditions (In flight or on ground) | -Overspeed/Underspeed -Loss of speed data -Failure to start, accelerate, or light -External short -FADEC failure or loss of FADEC signal |
When to do origination checks | -First flight of day -Return from significant maintenance -First flight items not signed off |
When to do detailed inspection | -First flight of day -First flight in new aircraft -After significant maintenance -Anytime A/C condition in question |
When are all DC busses energized on ground? | -GPU on and connected -At least 1 generator on and shed busses to override -At least 3 generators on. *Shed busses deenergized in FLIGHT if only 1 or 2 generators. |
What do the batteries do during APU start? | -#2 Starts APU -#1 Provides stable electrical power to voltage transient sensitive equipment. |
When does the crossbleed open in auto? | -Engine starts |
When does the High Stage Valve (HSV) open? | -Xbleed engine starts -Icing conditions -Low engine thrust |
