Oral Prep - Glareshield Panel Flashcards
What functions do the LH/RH ENG FIRE PUSH switchlights perform when pressed in?
Arms squibs on both engine bottles, fuel, hydraulic, and bleed-air SOVs closed on affected engine; affected engine-driven generator shuts down.
Pushing the APU Fire PUSH switch, on the glareshield, performs what functions?
Bottle squibs are armed, green bottle light illuminates· APU Fuel shutoff valve closes· APU fire relay is energized to shutdown APU by closing a fuel solenoid valve· APU LCV closes· APU generator is tripped
What stall warnings are provided to warn the pilot of approaching
stall?
Aural, visual, and tactile (stick shaker). If no corrective action is taken, the stick pusher is activate
How is the stall warning system tested?
Captain and First Officer STALLPTCT PUSHER switches ON and Captain or First Officers STALL switch light, press in momentarily and check for the following:
* CONT IGNITION status message on
* Captain’s stick shaker is activated
* CONT, ON light on
* First Officer’s stick shaker is activated
* Stick pusher is activated and STALL switch lights flash
* Stick pusher is deactivated and STALL switch lights out
* Captain’s and First Officer’s stick shaker stops
* CONT, ON light out
* CONT IGNITION status message out
What happens when the angle of attack is increased beyond normal limits?
When a high AOA trip point is reached the continuous ignition is activated. If the angle of attack continues to increase the stick shaker is activated and autopilot is disengaged. If the AOA still continues to increase the stick pusher is activated, STALL switchlights flash red and the stall warbler sounds.
What aural messages should be heard during the EGPWS test?
“GLIDESLOPE PULL UP…TERRAIN…WINDSHEAR.”
How is an increasing Windshear Alert provided to the flight crew?
By amber Windshear caption on the PFD and the AMI indicators.
How is a decreasing Windshear Warning provided to the flight crew?
By a red Windshear caption on the PFD, AMI indicators, flight director guidance, and an audio warning “WINDSHEAR.”
Is Windshear escape guidance provided?
Windshear escape guidance is provided for decreasing performance shears only.
Is the proper Pilot reaction to Windshear alerts to follow the Flight Director Command Bars or to follow the AMI indicators?
Follow the flight director command bars but, the flight director command bars will provide you windshear escape guidance only for decreasing performance shears.
What is the purpose of the ROLL SEL switchlight on the glareshield panel?
The amber ROLL SEL portion illuminates after the ROLL DISC handle has been pulled, giving cross side spoileron control. The pilot with the operating aileron then presses the ROLL SEL switchlight to signal the SECU to give control of both spoilerons to his control column. The PLT/CPLT part of the switchlight illuminates to indicate which pilot has selected control.
During a jammed aileron condition what does the amber ROLL SEL light in the ROLL SEL switch come on to indicate?
The roll disconnect handle has been pulled and that the ROLL SEL switch on the unjammed side must be pressed to transfer the spoileron control to the operable side.
Does the ROLL SEL switch have to be selected for the operable aileron circuit after an aileron PCU runaway?
No. PLT ROLL or CPLT ROLL has been automatically selected for spoileron control.
What guidance does the Flight Director provide in Takeoff mode?
Vertical Guidance - 12° Pitch up or 10° Pitch up single engine
Lateral Guidance - Weight off wheels heading hold with 5° Angle of Bank authority
When is SPEED mode selected on takeoff?
When the aircraft accelerates to V2+15 KIAS.
