Critical phase of flight (not sterile– ie, E&A vs IAC)
For all other purposes (i.e., Immediate Action Card versus Emergency & Abnormal Checklist usage), “critical phase of flight” is defined as: ·
Takeoff – Beginning with brake release and ending when the aircraft is brought to a full stop during a rejected takeoff, or when the aircraft is at acceleration height and clearance of all obstacles in the takeoff flight path is assured, landing gear and flaps have been retracted, and airspeed is at least VSE. ·
Landing – Beginning when the landing gear is extended for landing and ending when the aircraft lands and is brought to a full stop, or taxied clear of the landing runway.
What is the minimum landing gear strut extension?
1.5 inches
FSM 3.2.10
What do the gear lights in the floor indicate?
Alternate Downlock Verification light system
It verifies the down and locked status of the landing gear
SDM 14.6
What does the landing gear inhibit switch do?
Selecting the switch to INHIBIT disables electrical command sent to the landing gear solenoid valve for normal extension.
SDM 14.4
Is anti-skid available when using the emergency brake?
No
SDM 14.13
What is the minimum parking brake pressure for engine start?
500 psi (right engine) 1000 psi (left engine)
SDM 14.13
If sufficient parking brake pressure is not available for engine start, what can be done?
- Capture/secure nose wheel with tug
- Pump park brake auxiliary pump in right wheel well
- Chock left main and nose
FSM 7.4.8
Is nose wheel steering immediately available after selecting the steering switch on?
No.
Available after about 8 seconds.
If moved, may cause NOSE STEERING caution
FSM 3.6.2
Can we operate the Q400 without nose wheel steering?
If able, taxi to gate using differential braking and power
If unable, get towed to gate
E & A 10.2
Following gear selection, what two indications should be verified?
- Note 3 green lights, no amber or red
- Check hydraulics
FSM 3.15.9
Are brakes always immediately available upon landing touchdown?
No.
If low friction (ie, ice) prevents main wheel spin up, control unit will reactivate brakes at 5 seconds after weight-on-wheels
SDM 14.9
Following any gear extension/retraction, if you have an abnormal indication is it acceptable to recycle the gear?
No
FSM 3.11.1
What does the LDG GEAR INOP caution light indicate?
Failure of a hydraulic sequencing valve or proximity sensor on any of the gear doors
SDM 14.4
Who is responsible for verifying the landing gear position after gear selection?
Both pilots
FSM 3.11.2
What battery switches must be on in order to provide APU fire protection?
All switches
FSM 7.9.1
After starting the APU, how long should you delay before selecting the BL AIR switch to ON?
2 minutes
FSM 7.9.2
After starting the APU, how long should you wait before starting an engine?
2 minutes
FSM 7.9.2
What will happen if you conduct the APU FIR TEST with the APU running?
APU shuts down
FSM 3.22.4
Where does the APU get its fuel?
Left wing collector bay
SDM 4.6
How much fuel does the APU burn?
20 gal an hour, 40 gal with bleeds
FSM 7.9.1
After landing, when should the APU be started if needed?
After setting the parking brake
FSM 3.19.1
What kind of electrical power does the APU generator provide?
28V DC
SDM 4.1
When will the “WARN” segment of the APU GEN switchlight illuminate?
When APU is running and generator has not been selected, or
Generator is automatically taken off line while APU is running
SDM 4.4
Critical phase of flight– sterile
All ground operations involving taxi, takeoff and landing, and all other flight operations conducted below 10,000 feet, except cruise flight. -
On climb: 10,000 feet above mean sea level (MSL) - On descent: 10,000 feet above airport field elevation (AFE)
