FCOM BULLETIN Flashcards
What anomaly may occur due to the Lav/Galley vent fan being OFF on the ground?
Blank Cabin Temperatures on the EICAS Air Synoptic display
Is any flight crew action needed when the Cabin Zone temperatures are blank?
No flight crew action is needed
What nuisance advisory message may show when flying faster than 250 knots?
EICAS Advisory GND PROX SYS
What actions may cause the GND PROX SYS advisory message to appear?
Selecting FLAP OVRD or GEAR OVRD
What must flight crew use when operating engine and wing anti-ice systems manually?
A non-standard icing temperature threshold
What is the purpose of combining the two engine TAT probes and the airplane TAT probe?
To provide a voted TAT solution displayed on EICAS.
What effect can a logic anomaly between engine and airplane TAT probes have?
It can affect the accuracy of the displayed TAT.
In the event of erroneous data from two TAT probes, how might the indicated TAT differ from the actual TAT?
Indicated TAT may be higher or lower than actual TAT.
What temperature must be assumed for icing conditions when operating anti-ice systems manually in flight?
15°C instead of 10°C.
What is the TAT source used when anti-ice is operated in AUTO mode?
A different TAT source not subject to the TAT anomaly.
Is anti-ice operation on the ground in manual mode normal?
Yes.
What is required for automatic operation of anti-ice in-flight?
No crew action is required for automatic operation at any temperature.
When must wing and engine anti-ice be ON during initial climb?
When TAT is 10°C or less.
Under what conditions must engine and wing anti-ice be ON when TAT is between 10°C and 15°C?
When visible moisture is present.
What is the latest altitude at which engine and wing anti-ice can be delayed during climb?
2500 feet AGL.
What should be assumed about AFM performance data when selecting anti-ice ON?
The airplane will achieve flaps-up, final climb speed and clear all obstacles at a height of 1500 feet AGL or less.
When TAT is 15°C or less and visible moisture is present, what must be done?
Engine and wing anti-ice must be ON.
What is the caution regarding TAT when using engine or wing anti-ice?
Do not use engine or wing anti-ice when TAT is above 15°C.
What should be done when engine and wing anti-ice are no longer needed?
Position ENGINE ANTI-ICE selectors to AUTO or OFF and WING ANTI-ICE selector accordingly.
If ice detection is available, what position should the selectors be set to when ice is not detected?
AUTO.
If ice detection is inoperative, what should the selectors be positioned to?
OFF.
What does the EICAS advisory message ANTI-ICE ON indicate?
It shows when the anti-ice system is ON and displayed TAT is above 10°C.
What problem has Boeing received reports about?
Altitude setting on the MCP changing without flight crew action.
What is the typical range of altitude change reported?
Between 100 and 4000 feet.
