Oral Prep - Thrust Level Quadrant Flashcards
What is the difference between a Huffer and a bottle, used for air starting?
A bottle is a large cylinder containing a charge of high pressure air. A Huffer is a self-contained high pressure air generation source. It has an engine and air pump but no storage.
Can you operate the air conditioning from a bottle?
No
What is a Crossbleed start?
Starting an engine using bleed air from the operating engine.
What are the necessary precautions when performing a Cross Bleed Start?
Position aircraft away from congested areas.· Never perform a crossbleed start at the gate.· Advise ATC you will be performing a Crossbleed start.· It may be necessary to move the aircraft to a startup pad.· The PIC could be responsible for damages caused by jet blast.
What is the indication the starter has cutout?
IGNITION A (B) and L(R) ENGINE START messages disappear.
You aborted the engine start because you noticed a rapidly rising ITT. Must maintenance be notified?
Maintenance must be notified if the ITT exceeded 900°, or if a HOT Icon appeared, or if a malfunction is suspected.
Describe the proper procedure for setting takeoff thrust.
The PF advances the thrust levers to approximately 70% N1, allow the engine to stabilize, then increase power toward the target N1 and call “Set Thrust.” The PM sets N1, and calls “Thrust Set.” Takeoff N1 must be set by 60 knots.
Which engine ignition system(s) are supplied continuous ignition with the CONT switch/light?
Both A and B.
Which ignition system does the DC Battery Bus power?
B
When does continuous ignition come on automatically?
Based upon angle-of-attack data, both systems are selected on by the stall warning computer until airplane flight attitude is corrected.
What powers the Thrust reversers?
14th stage bleed air.
What conditions must be met for the thrust reversers to deploy?
Thrust levers at idle, WOW, or wheel spin up, 14th stage bleed valves open and reversers switch armed, thrust reverse triggers activated and TR levers raised.
What is the function of the EMER STOW switches?
To drive the thrust reverser equipment to the stow position should the automatic stow system fail.
Pushing the TOGA button(s) before takeoff, performs what function?
Activates the Vertical and Lateral Takeoff (TO TO) modes, also provides a runway update to the FMS.
Pushing TOGA for a Go-Around provides what FD guidance?
Current heading hold with 5° Angle of Bank authority and 10° pitch.
