CRJ Normal Procedures and Profiles Flashcards
Which pilot (PF or PM) completes teh flow on a challenge and reply checklist?
The PF normally completes the flow.
How should a pilot respond when a checklist action has not been completed during a challenge and reply checklist?
“STAND-BY” or other suitable response to indicate that the action has not been completed, and complete the item before the next checklist change is read
In what order should a checklist flow be completed?
By scanning the flight deck as indicated by the checklist flow, while performing necessary actions such as checking, testing, or setting as outlined in the expanded checklist.
How should a pilot respond to an “AS REQUIRED” checklist response?
There may be more than one correct response. One of the responses in the expanded checklist should be used.
Explain how a “SILENT” checklist should be accomplished?
They are the responsibility of the listed pilot. Complete the flow, then refer to the checklist.
Who is responsible for ensuring pilot currency/legal requirements?
The company will endeavor to monitor legal requirements, however it is each pilot’s responsibility to monitor their own individual requirements and notify Flight Operations if any legal limit or requirement is expected to be exceeded.
What checklist should be accomplished prior to conducting the preflight inspection?
The Safety Check, so that various components can be checked during the preflight.
When must the Safety Check be completed?
Immediately upon arrival at the aircraft. This check is also used to establish AC power on the aircraft after the Shutdown Check below the line has been completed. The Safety Check must be completed prior to conducting an external inspection.
When must the “Exterior Accessible Compartments Security search” be completed?
The security search shall be conducted prior to the first departure at the beginnning of each calendar day and prior to any subsequent departure when the aircraft has been left unattended or has not been properly monitored, or the security of the aircraft is in question.
Is it ever appropriate for the First Officer to complete the Safety Check?
Yes, if the FO arrives at the aircraft prior the Captain, OM doesn’t specify who does it.
If the First Officer completes the the safety check, doe the Captain have to re-accomplish the check?
Not required to re-accomplish the check but the ultimate responsibility rests with the PIC.
What should you do immediately after turning the BATTERY MASTER switch ON during the Safety Check?
Check that no unusual EICAS messages are illuminated. Check Main and APU battery voltage at 22 volts minimum.
What precaution must be taken prior to turning hydraulic pump 3A on during the Safety Check?
Ensure the nose doors are closed, or ensure the nose door area is clear prior to turning on either hydraulic system 3 pump.
How quickly must AC electrical power be established after the Battery Master switch has been turned on?
5 minutes
When must an Originating Check be accomplished?
Prior to the first flight of the day for that A/C, or anytime considered necessary
What precaution must be taken prior to moving the flap lever to the anticipated takeoff flap setting, (as with deferral of a skew detector system), or for any reason at the gate?
Ensure that the flap area is clear.
When should the Before Start Check be accomplished?
As soon as feasible, preferably before passenger boarding and after the preflight/walkaround

Which engine should normally be started first flight of the day?
On the first flight of the day the left engine should be started first, and both engines shall be started to enable completion of the first flight of the day checks. If subsequent delays are encountered, an engine may be secured.
Under what conditions must an engine start be aborted and maintenance notified?
For any engine start malfunction unless the cause is obvious to the crew and it is determined another start may be attempted safely.
What is the First Officer’s indication to begin his/her after start check flow?
The First Officer may begin the After Start Check flow as soon as the engine is stabilized.
What precautions should be taken prior to checking the rudder on the after start check in a pushback operation?

What signal must the Captain receive prior to taxiing the aircraft?
The “ALL CLEAR” signal
What is the “All Clear” Signal?
A standard military salute with hand and/or wand.
When should single engine taxi be considered?
Every time, unless the Captain deems it unsafe to do so.
What things should be considered prior to single engine taxi?
Ramp/Taxiway contamination, or very short taxi times.
What fuel systems considerations must be taken during single engine taxi?
Turn off both fuel pumps to prevent imbalance. Don’t SE taxi with fuel in center tank unless both wings contain 4400 lbs or more.
What should occur before making any steering inputs when starting to taxi?
Start the aircraft moving forward
Which lights must be ON for all night taxi operations?
The recog/taxi light, wing inspection, plus of course the rotating beacon and nav lights
When may the taxi light be turned OFF during taxi operations?
When under the direction of a signal person, when entering the parking apron, or whenever the aircraft is stationary in excess of 10 minutes
When must the taxi light be turned OFF during operations?
Whenever the aircraft is stationary in excess of 10 minutes
When is it acceptable to use reverse thrust during taxi?
Reverse thrust is prohibited during normal operations. Reverse thrust for taxi can only be used in an emergency
What procedures must the crew adhere to during low visibility (<1200 RVR) taxi?
Flight crews must follow the taxi routes and procedures depicted on the Surface Movement Guidance and Control System (SMGCS) for the airport (if available). In any case, during low visibility taxi (<1200 RVR), adhere to the following procedures. All crewmembers (including jumpseat riders) will be heads up during aircraft movement. System checks and tests which are normally accomplished during taxi should be accomplished while the aircraft is stationary. All crewmembers must be familiar with the taxi route prior to aircraft movement. If in doubt, stop the aircraft and query ATC.
During the single engine taxi, when teh Captain is ready for the engine to be started he will call for what checklist?
Taxi Start Check
What must be completed prior to calling for the Before Takeoff Check?
Both engines must be running and the Captain should verify that all checklist items are completed, including the takeoff briefing.
What pilot completes the takeoff briefing?
First Officer
Briefly explain “CRJ Standard:”
Any abnormality before V1, the PM will state the malfunction. The Captain will state “Continue” or “Abort.” If an abort is required, the Captain will carry out the “Rejected Takeoff” procedure. Any abnormality after V1, state the malfunction. The PF will continue to fly the aircraft. Immediate actions as required. Hold all other checklists until reaching a safe altitude.
How does the Flight Attendant indicate he/she is ready for takeoff?
He/she will call the flight deck and state “Cabin secure, ready for takeoff” after being notified by the flight crew that takeoff is imminent.
Which external lights must the Captain have ON when cleared “line up and wait” at night or during low visibility?
The RECOG/TAXI, WING INSP and STROBE lights, and always NAV lights and rotating beacon
The response “Verified” to the Before Takeoff Check” FMS….Runway_Set/Verified”, means that you have verified what?
Proper departure runway is selected, verified the first waypoint, if FMS is the planned navigation source that AUTO is selected on the FMS RADIO page, NAV SOURCE is selected to FMS (white needles).
What does the “Altimeters….Checked” Takeoff Check response mean?
A cross check of the altimeters must be performed. The altitude displayed on all three altimeters must be within 75 feet of the published runway elevation.
The Takeoff Check response “CAS….Checked and Cleared” indicates the First Officer has checked all EICAS messages, checked and cleared the status messages and checked for what green advisory message?
“T/O CONFIG OK” (If the parking brake is set this message will not appear). The “T/O CONFIG OK” message must be verified prior to beginning the takeoff roll.
If GPS is deferred, MEL 23-50-01, How do you accomplish a runway update, what is it, and why are we not authorized for intersection departures with this deferral?
Selecting RWY UPDATE on the legs page or pressing TOGA will update the FMS to the selected runway threshold position stored in the database. If departing from an intersection or any location other than the selected runway threshold, without GPS the unit does not know it is not at the selected runway threshold when TOGA or the RWY UPDATE is selected which could cause map shift or accuracy degradation as it determines the true position. Without GPS we cannot be assured of the navigation accuracy required for RNAV departures specifying GPS.
When, where, and how is the Runway Verification procedure done in preparation for takeoff?
Captain visually verify the ruwnway prior to crossing the old short line and state “Runway” First Officer cross check the runway and once verified respond with “Runway verified.”
Explain the Takeoff Runway Verification procedure:
Look up answer**
What is meant by the “Fuel…Check” item on the Takeoff Check?
Verify the fuel is balanced within limits for takeoff and the quantity is at or above the MIN fuel specified on the Dispatch Release. Note fuel quantity in accordance with FOM fuel monitoring policy.
How do you determine what flap setting to use for takeoff?
The flap setting comes from the Takeoff Data Message.
When must continuous ignition be used during the takeoff?
Takeoffs with crosswind components of more than 10 knots. Takeoffs from contaminated runways.
How do you determine if a rolling or static takeoff is required?
The takeoff data message contains this information
Takeoff N1 must be set by what speed?
60 KIAS
The PF should advance power to approximately what __ % NZ, before increasing power towards target N1?
70%`
What precaution should be taken to prevent engine surge during takeoff in high crosswind conditions?
Don’t apply power to rapidly at low speed.
When the First Officer is the PF during takeoff, at what point does he/she place both hands on the yoke?
After the F/O sates “SET POWER” and the Captain places his/her right hand on the thrust levers.
