Avionics & Flight Instruments Flashcards
(32 cards)
How should we contact the Flight Attendant in an emergency?
- Turn the audio panel selector knob to PA
- Push the EMER call switch light to generate 3 hi/low chimes and a flashing red light on the Flight Attendant’s overhead panel
Will the flight deck PA override the Flight Attendant PA?
Yes
What indication do we get if the Flight Attendant is calling the flight deck because of an emergency in the cabin?
- We hear 1 hi/low chime
- The EMER call switch light will be flashing
How do we know if the company is trying to contact us?
An ACARS message
-or-
“SELCAL, SELCAL” voice aural and a SELCAL advisory EICAS message
How many Air Data Computers (ADC) are installed?
Two
How many AHRS or IRS computers are installed?
Two
In MAG mode, how long does it take the AHRS system to initialize?
30 to 70 seconds
In DG mode, how long does it take the AHRS system to initialize?
10 to 11 minutes
From which source do the CA’s flight instruments receive AHRS information?
AHRS 1 or IRS 1
From which source do the FO’s flight instruments receive AHRS information?
AHRS 2 or IRS 2
From which source do the CA’s flight instruments receive pitot/static information?
System 1 (pitot/static tube on left side of nose)
From which source do the FO’s flight instruments receive pitot/static information?
System 2 (pitot/static tube on right side of nose)
From which source does the integrated standby instrument receive pitot/static information?
System 3 (standby pitot under CA’s side window and 2 alternate static ports - one on the left side and one on the right side)
Where is the Total Air Temperature (TAT) probe located?
Under the FO’s side window
What is the definition of Total Air Temperature?
The temperature of the air corrected for compressibility and friction caused by high speed
On the ground with the probe heat ON, which probes are heated?
All pitot probes are heated half way, all other are fully heated except the TAT probe which is not heated on the ground
In flight, which probes are heated?
All are fully heated regardless of probe heat switch position
Is there a LOC and GS indication on the standby attitude indicator?
Yes, referencing NAV 1
When and where will the radio altitude information appear?
- 0 - 2500’ AGL
- Indicated in green below the altitude tape
What does the speed trend vector indicate?
Predicted airspeed in 10 seconds if no changes are made
When and where will the MACH readout appear?
- Appears when accelerating through 0.45 Mach
- Disappears when decelerating through 0.40 Mach
- Appears just above the airspeed tape in white
What does the green line on the airspeed tape indicate?
- 1.27 Vs based on current configuration
- Not accurate at high altitudes
Where is the slip and skid indicator located?
A rectangle located just under the sky pointer
How many flight directors are installed?
Two
