Q

PIT comparison monitor will be shown on the PFD when there is a discrepancy of more than how many degrees of pitch?

A

5°

19
Q

How many hours of aircraft data is recorded by the DFDR?

A

25 hours

20
Q

How is decision height set on the radio altimeter?

A

By using the RA knob located on the display control panel

21
Q

What does an amber MIN label shown inside a box at the lower right of the attitude indicator indicate?

A

The aircraft is at a radio altitude equal to, or lower than, the decision height setting

22
Q

When does the “brown ground” appear on the altitude tape?

A

When the radio altitude is less than 550’

23
Q

What is the radio altimeter range?

A

From -20’ to 2,500’

24
Q

Which instruments are combined into the ISIS?

A

Attitude, altitude, and airspeed

25
Q

Which components are responsible for the interaction among the many airplane systems, besides managing information shown on the display?

A

IC-600s

26
Q

How many channels does each DAU have?

A

Two

27
Q

What is the purpose of DAU Channel B?

A

It is kept as a standby source, which mus be manually selected through the EICAS reversionary button

28
Q

IC-600 No. 1 normally provides images to which screens?

A

PFD 1, MFD 1, and EICAS

29
Q

IF IC-600 No. 1 fails, how can you get information back to the pilots screens?

A

IC-600 No. 2 will control all five displays by pressing the symbol generator (SG) button on the left reversionary panel

30
Q

How can the MFD be used to show PFD or EICAS information, if those screens fail?

A

By making the appropriate selection on the reversionary panel

31
Q

What are the main indications shown on the EICAS screen?

A

Engine indications, flaps, landing gear, spoilers, and trim positions, total fuel quantity, APU, and pressurization information

32
Q

Where are the master warning and caution lights?

A

On each pilots glare shield panel

33
Q

Regarding EICAS messages, what does the inhibition logic do?

A

It prevents some messages from being shown during takeoff and approach/landing phases to avoid nuisance effects upon the flight crew

34
Q

What color are normal indications shown in?

A

Green

35
Q

What color are caution messages and lights?

A

Amber

36
Q

Voice messages are normally associated with which type of messages on EICAS or their crew awareness systems?

A

Warning

37
Q

How is the backup aural warning unit channel activated in Channel A fails?

A

Automatically

38
Q

Where can you set V-speed bugs for the airspeed tapes?

A

MFD SPDS sub-menu

39
Q

How is the barometric pressure set for either “in Hg” or “HPS”?

A

A button on the lower left of the PFD

40
Q

The TCAS provides vertical direction and minimum vertical speed information during evasive maneuvers for evolution advisories. Where is this information shown?

A

On the PFD VSI

41
Q

In an electrical emergency, for how many minutes will the ISIS operate solely on the airplane batteries?

A

About 40 min

42
Q

Where are the decision height and the associated RA label shown?

A

Adjacent to the lower right side of the attitude sphere

43
Q

Where is the button for setting/starting/stopping the chronometer?

A

On the inner half of each control wheel

44
Q

On the PDF FMA, what are the correct color codes for normal operation in FMS active mode and armed mode?

A
  • FMS active mode: magenta
  • Armed mode: white
