PRO-NOR-SOP-04 P1

Answer 3

Aircraft Power Up and APU Fire Test/Start

procedures are performed by:

• The PM, if Electrical Power has Not been Established

Earlier

• For APU Start Procedure: DSC-49-20 Overhead Panel.

Question 4

20- What to do if the Battery Voltage is Below 25.5 V?

What does the 25.5 V Represent in terms of Battery Charge?

PRO-NOR-SOP-04 P2

Answer 4

• If battery voltage is below 25.5 V:

A Charging Cycle of about 20 Min is required Using the

EXT PWR

• Battery Voltage above 25.5 V Ensures a Charge

Above 50 %.

Question 5

• 35 min after Battery Selection to AUTO, the Battery

Charge is Less than 25 % of Maximum Capacity.

Question 6

22- What is the Effect of the External Power Supply (GPU) on the APU usage?

PRO-NOR-SOP-04 P3

DSC-49-20 P3

Answer 6

The Ground Power Unit should be kept ON to Reduce the

Question 9

25- What is the OXY Requirements on the DOOR SD page?

PRO-NOR-SOP-04 P4

DSC-35-20-20 P5

LIM-35 P1

Answer 9

BHSD –> BHSK, BHTD –> BHTI

In Flight:

It is Green, when the Pressure is ≥ 400 PSI

It is Amber, when the Pressure is < 400 PSI

On Ground:

An Amber Half Frame appears when:

* Oxygen Pressure is < 1500 PSI

In this case, the Flight Crew must Check that the Remaining Quantity is NOT Below the Minimum

BHSL –> BHSU, BHTJ –> BHTK

In Flight:

It is Green, when the Pressure is ≥ 600 PSI

It Pulses in Green, when the Pressure is < 600 PSI

It is in amber, when the pressure is < 300 PSI

On Ground:

An Amber Half Frame appears when:

* Oxygen Pressure is < 1000 PSI

In this case, the Flight Crew must Check that the Remaining Quantity is NOT Below the Minimum

• LIM-35 P1: If Amber Half Frame the Level shall be

X-Check

• Chap 8: AML Entry is Required if OXY < 1100 PSI.

Question 10

26- What is the Requirements for ENG OIL QUANTITY Before Start?

PRO-NOR-SOP-04 P5

Answer 10

Check that the Oil Quantity is ≥ 11 Qt + Est. Consumption

(Average Estimated Consumption ~ 0.3 Qt/H).

Question 11

27- On which A/C the Alternate Brake Check should be carried out?

PRO-NOR-SOP-04 P6

Answer 11

• The Alternate Brake Check should be done on:

BHSD –> BHSN & BHTD –> BHTI

(From SO & TJ NO Need)

• The Parking Brake must be ON during the Exterior

Inspection to allow the Flight Crew to Check Brake

Wear Indicators.

Question 12

28- Who is Responsible for the Crew Awareness of the OEB?

What happen if there is a Transfer of Duties during the Flight?

PRO-NOR-SOP-04 P6
