Q

Describe Centre ADC role and switching.

A

Centre ADC is a standby ADC and may be selected as a replacement using the centre air data selector.

18
Q

Where can Static Air Temperature (SAT) data be viewed?

A

CDU progress page 2

19
Q

What are status messages used for?

A

Provide cross-reference to MEL for dispatch capability.

20
Q

What is the implication of a rectangular symbol prefaced EICAS message?

A

Alert messages that have an attached checklist.

21
Q

List the types of EICAS messages that cannot be cancelled.

A

Red EICAS alert messages.

22
Q

What differentiates caution messages from advisory messages?

A

Advisory messages are displayed in amber below the lowest caution message and are indented one character.

23
Q

How to view multiple pages of EICAS messages and what happens when the last page is reached?

A

Cancel/recall switch cycles through EICAS message pages. Pressing again when on last page causes messages to no longer be displayed.

24
Q

How to view multiple pages of STATUS messages.

A

Push the cancel/recall switch.

25
Q

What are the indications when the aircraft is approaching stall?

A

Left and right stick shakers which independently vibrate left and right control columns.

26
Q

What triggers the EICAS message AIRSPEED LOW to display?

A

Airspeed below manoeuvring speed.

27
Q

Describe takeoff configuration warning conditions and inhibits.

A

Condition:
-if airplane is on ground and fuel control switches are in RUN position and Engine 2 or 3 thrust is in takeoff range, Airspeed less than V1.

Configuration:

  • Flaps are not in takeoff position.
  • LE Flap fault detected.
  • Body gear is not centred.
  • Park brake set.
  • Speedbrake lever is not in DN detent.
  • Stab Trim not in Takeoff range.
28
Q

How is the altitude alert presented when approaching the selected altitude?

A

At 900 feet prior to reaching selected altitude, a C-chord sounds and a highlighted white box is displayed around selected altitude plus current altitude on PFD.

Highlights disappear within 200 feet of selected altitude.

29
Q

How is the altitude alert presented when deviating from selected altitude?

A

When departing by 200 feet, EICAS alert ALTITUDE ALERT displayed and highlighted amber box displayed around current altitude.

Disappears when:

  • within 200 feet,
  • new MCP altitude selected, or
  • Departing more than 900 feet from selected altitude.
30
Q

What are the conditions that inhibit the ALTITUDE ALERT message?

A

-Glideslope captured, or—Landing flaps selected and landing gear down and locked.

31
Q

List the ND displays that is:

Track up

HDG up

North up

A

Track up: MAP

HDG up: VOR/APP

North up: PLN

32
Q

What will show up on the ND when data displayed exceeds the display capability?

A

EXCESS DATA

33
Q

When does the STATUS cue inhibit begin and end?

A

Engine start to 30 minutes after lift off.

34
Q

When does the airplane takeoff inhibit apply to Master caution light and beeper?

A

Inhibit starts at 80KT to 800 feet RA or 30 seconds after rotation- whichever is first.

If RTO initiates above 80 knots, inhibit continues until IAS less than 75 knots.

35
Q

How does the takeoff inhibit apply to the fire bell?

A

V1 to 400 Feet RA or 25 seconds after V1- whichever is first.

If bell ringing before V1, continues to ring when V1 exceeded. If new FIRE Message displayed during inhibit, the bell will sound when the inhibit ends.

36
Q

When is EICAS warning CONFIG GEAR inhibited?

A

Begins at lift off to 800 feet RA or 149 seconds after nose gear strut lift off- whichever is first.

37
Q

Describe ECL overrode item colour change.

A

Override item displays cyan.

38
Q

How and where is ECL display shown?

A

Pushing the checklist display switch on the display select panel.

Shown on secondary EICAS screen.

39
Q

Describe the difference between closed loop items and open loop items and their colour change.

A

Close loop: System monitors item and when complete item turns green.

Open loop: flight crew manually confirms completion.

40
Q

What is the ECL priority when on ground and in flight?

A

GND (no fuel on):

  • Checklists for EICAS warning messages.
  • normal checklist.

GND (fuel on) and air:

  • Checklist for any EICAS alert messages that have icons.
  • Incomplete unannunciated checklists.
  • Normal checklists.
