CJ3 - Oral Questions Flashcards
(53 cards)
During volts/amps check, when battery is selected to OFF, voltmeter shows 29 volts. Is this normal? What is the problem? May we depart?
No this is not normal. Battery relay is stuck closed. Can’t takeoff until the problem is fixed.
After engine start, start, start button remains illuminated. Is this normal?
No. Proceed to abnormal/emergency procedures checklist.
Before takeoff checklist item #14 is “Takeoff Data.” Where is it found?
AFM; FMS (w/takeoff datebase); checklist.
We are cleared to “line up and wait” when do we turn on pitot/static heat?
Wait to ensure we do not exceed two minutes of ground operation.
After takeoff, we notice that the “HYD PRESS ON” and “GEAR UNLOCKED” lights remain on. Is this normal? What problem do we suspect? What do we do?
No this is not normal. A gear uplock switch malfunction is likely. Proceed to the abnormal/emergency checklist procedures checklist.
During a battery overtemp, if placing the battery switch to “EMER” does not result in volts/amps decrease, the checklist calls for placing the switch back in the “BATT” why?
Battery relay is stuck. For the battery disconnect switch to work, the battery switch must be in “BATT” to power the disconnect relay.
After a dual generator failure, we go to operation on the emergency buses. In that configuration, describe the condition of the following systems: Flight guidance, EFIS, FADEC, Fuel, Ice protection, pressurization, landing gear, flaps, rudder bias, antiskid.
Flight guidance is inop; EFIS inop; FADEC normal (permanent magnet alternators); NO boost pumps, transfer valve or quantity indication; NO tail de-ice; bleed anti-ice fails on; Pressurization fails to MAX diff with manual control only; Gear and flaps are normal; NO rudder bias; NO antiskid.
After a decompression, emergency pressurization activates but we show no differential pressure. What is the likely problem?
Windshield bleed manual valves are open.
The “CABIN ALT” light illuminates. The rising cabin altitude will stop where?
14,500 when emergency pressurization activates.
A complete hydraulic failure requires a manual gear extension. How are the brakes affected?
They are NOT affected. The brakes, while hydraulic, are completely independent of the main hydraulic system.
On final, the cabin altitude selector shows a red light. Is this a problem?
Automatic pressurization control has failed; ensure cabin pressure differential is zero before landing.
Can we access SIDs and STARs on the MFD? Will they show the magenta geo-ref airplane? Why/why not?
SIDs and STARs are available on the MFD. They will NOT show geo-ref, as they are not drawn to scale.
We receive a “direct” routing from ATC sector, which we execute; next sector wants us back on the previous routing. How do we retrieve it?
Press “DIRECT” then “PREV.” The history page will then show up to 15 previous waypoints.
Holding in position for takeoff, we notice the FMS showing a “CHK POS” message. What can we do?
Select the departure runway with the DEP/ARR button, if we have not already done so. On the “LEGS” page, select “Runway Update.”
What are the steps to transition to a missed approach?
- Press the “GA BUTTON”
- Pitch to the command bars
- Add power
- Flaps to 15
- Gear up
- Flaps 0
- Ensure navigation source is FMS
- Select “NAV”
- Autopilot ON
How may we depart a missed approach hold?
“EXIT HOLD,” with the next flight segment beyond the discontinuity; “DIRECT” to any subsequent fix; a heading to intercept any subsequent course, ensuring an intercept turn in the correct direction by placing on the “from” line of the “LEGS” page whichever fix will be behind us after the intercept.
Generally speaking what are the differences between the red, amber and white annunciators?
Annunciators are classified as warning, caution and advisory. Red annunciators indicate a warning, cause the master warning to flash and require immediate corrective action. Amber annunciators are caution and require immediate attention, but not necessarily immediate action. White annunciators are advisory but may require action. (i.e. stuck HYD PRESS ON).
Will the engine fire annunciator trigger a master warning?
No
What happens when the fire switch-light is pressed?
The fuel and hydraulic firewall shutoff valves close, the associated F/W SHUT OFF annunciator illuminates, the generator field relay open, the two fire bottle armed switch-lights illuminate.
What is the likely cause if a fire switch light fails to illuminate during the rotary test?
Bad fire loop or sensor.
Will the generator field relay reset automatically when the fire switch light is pressed a second time?
No
If the master warning annunciator flashes in the fire detection test position on the rotary test knob, what does it indicate?
A baggage smoke detection system is installed.
What is the meaning of the red BATT O’TEMP (BATT FAULT) annunciator?
The NiCad or Lead acid battery has reached an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C)
What are the memory items for the red BATT O’TEMP (BATT FAULT) annunciator procedure?
Volts/amps - Note.
Battery switch - EMER.
Volts/amps - Note decrease.
