15kts for both

Question 2

Maximum operating altitude

Answer 2

41,000’

Question 3

Maximum takeoff and landing altitude

Answer 3

8,400’

Question 4

Minimum takeoff/landing temperature

Answer 4

-54°C

Question 5

Maximum operating speeds

Answer 5

Observe VMO/MMO and gear/flap placards

Question 6

Severe turbulence penetration target speeds

Answer 6

280 KIAS/.76M (whichever is lower)

Question 7

Air conditioning (engine bleeds on… Packs)

Answer 7

With either one or both engine bleed air switches on, do not operate air conditioning packs in high for takeoff, approach or landing

Question 8

Engine anti-ice (must be on for…)

Answer 8

The engine anti-ice system must be on during all ground and flight operations when icing conditions exist or are anticipated, except during climb and cruise below -40° SAT. Engine anti-ice must be on prior to and during descent in all icing conditions, including temperatures below -40° SAT.

Question 9

Autopilot

Answer 9

1. Do not engage the autopilot below 1,000’ AGL on takeoff
2. For single channel operation during approach, the autopilot shall not remain engaged below 50’ AGL
3. For manually for HGS AIII approach, the autopilot shall not remain engaged below 500’ AGL.
4. use of aileron trim with autopilot engaged is prohibited

Question 10

Engines warm up and cool down

Answer 10

Warm up: engines must be operated for a minimum of 3 minutes prior to takeoff
Cool down: engines must be operated at or near idle (taxi thrust acceptable) for a minimum of 3 minutes prior to shutdown

Question 11

Maximum time limit for takeoff thrust

Answer 11

5 minutes both engines operating
10 minutes allowed in the event of the loss of thrust on one engine during takeoff

Question 12

Engine start switches must be on the CONT position for:

Answer 12

1. Takeoff
2. Landing
3. Anti-ice operating
4. Operation in hail, sleet or moderate to heavy rain

Question 13

Engine start switches must be in the FLT position for…

Answer 13

Operation in server turbulence

Question 14

Reverse thrust

Answer 14

Intentional selection of reverse thrust in flight is prohibited

Question 15

APU loads (attitudes for use)

Answer 15

1. Bleed and electric load… 10,000’
2. Bleed only… 17,000’
3. Electric only… 41,000’
4. Maximum operating altitude… 41,000’

Question 16

APU general

Answer 16

1. Ensure APU BLEED air switch is closed for 2 minutes after start of for 1 minute prior to shutdown
   Note… When the APU switch is moved to OFF, this time delay is met automatically.
2. APU bleed valve may be open during engine start, but avoid engine power above idle
3. Except for engine start, the APU bleed valve must be closed when another source is pressurizing the left bleed air duct

Question 17

Flap limits

Answer 17

Maximum flap extension altitude is 20,000’
Holding in icing conditions with flaps extended is prohibited

Question 18

Speed brakes

Answer 18

1. Do not deploy speed brakes in flight below 1,000’ AGL
2. In flight, do not extend the speed brake lever beyond the flight detent.
3. Do not deploy speed brakes with flaps more than flaps 10 extended.
   Although not prohibited, the use of speed brakes with flaps 1-10 extended should be avoided as much as possible. The use of speed brakes with flaps extended increases loads on the trailing edge flaps, resulting in increased wear and tear

Question 19

Load alleviating system (700W/900ER)

Answer 19

Manually overriding the load alleviating system is not authorized

Question 20

Fuel temperature

Answer 20

Minimum fuel temperature -37°C unless actual fuel freeze point is known

Question 21

Fuel balance

Answer 21

1. Allowable lateral imbalance between main tanks 1 and 2 must be scheduled to be zero
2. Transient fuel imbalance must not exceed 1,000 lbs for taxi, takeoff, flight of landing.
3. Main wing tanks must be scheduled to be full if the center range tank contains more than 1,000 lbs.

Question 22

Center tank fuel pumps

Answer 22

1. For ground operation, center tank fuel pump switches must not be positioned to on unless the center tank fuel quantity exceeds 1,000 lbs, except when defueling or transferring fuel
2. Center tank fuel pumps must not be on unless personnel are available in the flight deck to monitor low pressure lights
3. For ground and flight operations, the corresponding center tank fuel pump switch must be positioned off when low pressure light illuminates. If the center tank is empty, position both center tank fuel pump switches off.

Question 23

Hydraulics

Answer 23

Ground operation of electric hydraulic pump requires minimal 1,675 lbs in the respective fuel tank

Note… This limitation apples to extended ground operations. It does but apply during taxi-in after landing

Question 24

Minimum oil temperature before setting takeoff thrust (MAX)

Answer 24

31°C
