Question 18

Max Aircraft temp for sensitive equipment regarding the availability of air conditioning?

Answer 18

This limit is to prevent sensitive equipment overheating.

Air con functioning then limit is ISA +35’C

Air con Not functioning
Alt alerter off = ISA +20’C
Alt alerter on = ISA +15’C (up to 20’C for 30min with radio master switch on)

20 and 15’C limits do not apply up to 2min for limited take-off procedures

Answer 31

The airplane should be stabilised at 1000 ft HAA if in IMC and non-normal conditions, and no lower than 500 ft HAA if in VMC conditions. A approach on the EMB120 is considered stabilised when all of the following criteria are met: – The airplane is on the correct flight path, – Only small changes in heading and pitch are required to maintain the correct flight path, – Fly ILS approaches within one dot of the glideslope and localizer, – The airplane approach speed is VREF + Wind Correction, not exceeding VREF +20 kt and not less than VREF, – The airplane is in the correct landing configuration, – Sink rate is no greater than 1000 ft/min; if an approach requires a sink rate greater than 1000 ft/min, conduct a special briefing, – Power setting is appropriated for the airplane configuration, – All briefings and checklists have been conducted.
