CRM/FMS Flashcards
(51 cards)
Q.If the FMS shows a temperature different from the ATIS while on the ground, which temperature should the crew use?
A. Normally the FMS temperature, unless a different predicted take‑off temperature needs to be entered.
Q.Do the three FMSs perform their computations independently?
A.Yes.
Q.How do you enter a waypoint that is defined by the intersection of two VOR radials (P/B/P/B format)?
A. P/B/P/B.
Q.You are established in an FMS holding and press EXIT. What happens?
A.Proceed direct to the holding fix, overfly it, then proceed on course. (Repeat for clarity)
Q.How can you enter a holding pattern at an existing waypoint?
A.Through the MCDU or the Graphical Flight Planning using the CCD.
Q.With Automatic Ground Spoilers inoperative, will the Flight Management System (FMS) be able to calculate the correct Landing Distance?
A.Yes, if Spoilers AUTO is changed to MANUAL on Landing Initialization pages
Q.To determine the aircraft weight the FMS determines the fuel quantity. How is this accomplished while in-flight?
A. Sensed fuel flow is subtracted from departure fuel quantity to calculate new fuel quantity
Q.How can AGM (Advanced Graphics Module) reversion be accomplished in flight
A.AGM reversion cannot occur in flight.
Q.While established in an FMS holding, what will pressing the EXIT prompt command the aircraft to do?
A.Proceed direct to the holding fix, overfly it, then resume the flight plan course.
Q.waypoint is defined at a specific distance from a VOR that is not part of the flight plan. How would you enter this waypoint in the FMS flight plan (P = place, B = bearing, D = distance)?
P/B/D.
Q.To determine the aircraft weight, the FMS determines the fuel quantity. How is this accomplished while in-flight?
A. Sensed fuel flow is subtracted from departure fuel quantity to calculate new fuel quantity
Q.The flight guidance computer enters the Emergency Descent Mode. Which heading will the aircraft fly?
A. 90 degrees left of the heading that existed at the moment of EDM engagement.
Q.The flight guidance computer enters the Emergency Descent Mode. To what altitude will the aircraft descend?
A. 15,000 feet a s automatically set in the Altitude window
Q.What can be intercepted/tracked when using the LNAV Flight Director Mode?
A.FMS, VOR and LOC.
Q.A waypoint is defined at a specific distance from a VOR that is not part of the flight plan. How would you enter this waypoint in the FMS flight plan (P = place, B = bearing, D = distance)?
P/B/D.
In which color is VOR/ILS course‑pointer data displayed on the PFD?
Green.
In which color is FMS course‑pointer data displayed on the PFD?
A.Blue.
How does the FMS alert crew of an error?
A Scratch‑pad message
While in flight, DU#3 becomes blank. Will the CAS messages be displayed?
Yes, the CAS window will automatically revert to DU#2.
Q.Display Unit (DU) #4 fails in flight showing a black screen. What, if anything, can be done to restore the FO’s PFD?
A. The PFD reverts to DU#3 automatically.
Q.What is the function of the BC button on the Flight Guidance Panel?
A.It selects the Back course localizer mode
Q.What does ‘U’ indicate on the Position Sensor page of the FMS?
A.It indicates the respective sensor that is being used by the FMS for navigation
Q.In which color is VOR and ILS course data (course pointer) displayed on the PFD?
A. Green.
Q.Both pilots have “ADS 1?” displayed in amber on their PFD. What does that indicate?
A.Both pilots are using ADS 1 for data.
