Normal Operations

Question 1

Who calls for all checklists while on the ground

Answer 1

Captian

Question 2

Who may do the power down check

Answer 2

Either crewmember once passengers have deplaned

Question 3

When must a Receiving Check be accomplished?

Answer 3

When:
The Power Up Check was accomplished 
The first flight of the day 
Crews first flight on the aircraft 
After maintenance
After possible unsupervised access to the flightdeck

Question 4

May checklist items specific to the XR only (such as back up battery) be skipped if in an LR

Answer 4

NO

Address them as “Not Required”

Question 5

What items must be checked as part of the Power Up Check?

Answer 5

Power up Check

Question 6

If a Circuit Breaker be rest prior to power up?

Answer 6

If a CB is tripped on the ground do not reset until contacting Maintenance Control to discover the cause.

Question 7

What emergency equipment is located in the cockpit?

Answer 7

3
2
1

Question 8

What is the procedure to use if the status LED light for the CVR does not illuminate?

Answer 8

Plug in a headset to the CVR panel, press the test button and listen for a tone.

Question 9

Why might you start the APU at the end of the Power Up Flow, rather than waiting until 5-10 min prior to push?

Answer 9

The battery voltage is between 19v and 24v

Question 10

What EICAS messages are shown during a fire detection test?

Answer 10

ENG 1(2) FIRE (W)
APU FIRE (W)
BAGG SMOKE (W)
E1 (2) FIREDET FAIL (C)
APU FIREDET FAIL (C)

Question 11

What is the procedure to use if, after a fire test, the BAGG EXT button remains illuminated

Answer 11

Wait 6 seconds and repeat the test. hold button for 2 but not more than 10 seconds

Question 12

What procedure is used if the “APU GEN OLVD” EICAS message is presented during the APU Power Up procedure

Answer 12

Verify the amperage output of the generator on the MFD electrical page. If the APU load exceeds 500 amps turn the BATT1 knob to OFF. Once 3 min has passed and the load decreases below 400 amps which over occurs later turn the BATT1 back to AUTO and place the Shed Bus selector to OVRD

Question 13

When does the CVR begin recording?

Answer 13

As soon as power is established to the aircraft

Question 14

What should be set in the FLIGHT ID field of the ATC/TCAS CONTROL page on the RMU

Answer 14

ASQ#### should be entered to ensure the ADS-B system broadcasts the correct flight ID to ATC and ADS-B In

Question 15

Is takeoff in heavy snow authorized

Answer 15

Yes
If:
The aircraft (including the fuselage) must be anti-iced with undiluted Type 4 fluid
The aircraft critical surfaces must be free of contaminates or the aircraft must be properly de-iced before teh application of the anti-icing fluid
A pre-takeoff contamination check must be accomplished within 5 min of takeoff
if a definitive fluid failure determination cannot be made using the pre take-off contamination check, T/O is not authorized.

Question 16

During operations in Ice Pellets, how is an allowance time derived?

Answer 16

An allowance time must be derived using the “Allowance Times Tables” using the appropriate: Precipitation types and intensities, OAT

Question 17

What is the Pre-Takeoff check

Answer 17

This check is conducted when the aircraft is hot, just prior to takeoff and is made by observing representative surfaces from inside the flight-deck to determine that the aircraft is free of contaminants

Question 18

What is the Pre-Takeoff Contamination Check

Answer 18

An external tactile check conducted after the HOT has been exceed to ensure wings, control surfaces, and other critical surfaces are free of all frozen contaminants. This check must be completed within 5 min prior to takeoff

Question 19

What are representative aircraft surfaces

Answer 19

Representative surfaces are those areas of teh aircrft that are visible from the flight deck (or cabin) that, when carefully observed, allow the crew to make a reasonable determination. These areas include: The windshield wiper mechanism, any unheated portion of the fuselage nose that is visible from the flight deck

Question 20

What are considered Critical Surfaces

Answer 20

critical surfaces are defined by the aircraft manufacturer and are considered those areas on the aircraft that are most aerodynamically sensitive to the effects of adhering winter elements. 
Upper/lower wing surfaces
Winglets
Horizontal Stabilizer
Vertical Stabilizer
Engine inlet
Fuselage

Question 21

Is a takeoff during moderate or heavy freezing rain permitted

Answer 21

No.
