EP1 Flashcards
(24 cards)
What should the pilot do with the throttles during ground egress?
Cutoff
This is part of the standard procedure for ensuring safety during ground operations.
What should the pilot do with the battery during ground egress?
OFF
Ensures that there is no electrical power when not needed.
What should the pilot do with the parking break during ground egress?
Set (Unless hot breaks)
This is crucial for maintaining the aircraft’s position on the ground.
What action should the copilot take regarding the oxygen system during ground egress?
Push
This is part of the pre-flight safety checks.
What should the copilot do with the standby battery during ground egress?
OFF
This helps in conserving battery power when not in use.
What should the ground agency be notified of during engine start?
Notify (Ground Comm – OFF during engine start)
Communication protocols are essential for safety.
What action is required in case of engine malfunction prior to idle?
PUSH TO DISENG
This is a critical step to prevent further damage.
What should be done during an engine malfunction at idle?
Throttle Cutoff, Ignition – OFF
These steps help to safely shut down the engine.
How long should the start run after an engine malfunction?
15 Sec
This allows for assessment of the situation.
What should be pressed if the engine malfunction light stays on?
Start Disengage button
This is necessary to halt engine operations safely.
What lights do not illuminate during the IND light test?
Ground COMM, Elt ON, Engine start and disengage buttons, Master Test GO.NO GO, Landing gear unlock
These are standard checks to ensure proper functioning.
What is considered a normal engine start?
Light-off occurs 10 sec after moving throttles to idle, Accelerates normally to idle RPM, ITT does not exceed limits, Oil Pressure is at least 40PSI
These criteria ensure the engine is starting correctly.
What constitutes a hot start?
Engine lights but the ITT exceeds the op limits
This indicates that the engine is overheating.
What is a false or hung start?
Starts but fails to accelerate to idle RPM. If continued could become a hot start
This can lead to potential engine damage if not addressed.
What is the minimum voltage for starting the battery?
22
Ensures sufficient power for engine start.
What is the minimum voltage for starting the GPU?
28
This is necessary for auxiliary power during engine start.
What can operating the engine without EFC on result in?
Fuel coking on the fuel nozzles
This can lead to performance issues.
When do you deselect the starter on a battery start?
When operating engine is stabilized at idle
This allows for the generator to reach full operational capacity.
What is the maximum generator load before starting the engine?
150 AMPS
Starting above this could damage the generator.
What power setting should the operating engine be for a generator-assisted start?
Idle
This helps prevent damage to the generator.
How do you gain entry through the emergency escape hatch?
Push the button lock, Pull handle, Pull inward and lift and rotate the hatch
This is essential for emergency egress.
What is the danger associated with the emergency escape hatch?
4.5 ft above the ground when the landing gear is extended
This indicates the risk of falling during an emergency exit.
What should be done if the crew chief reports a tailpipe fire?
Bring the throttles to CUTOFF and motor the appropriate engine
This is a critical response to prevent fire escalation.
What is the marshaller signal for a tailpipe fire?
Rapid horizontal figure eight motion with one wand and point to the affected engine with the other
This signal is crucial for clear communication in emergencies.
