Q.What is the procedure for starting an engine with a tailwind in excess of 10 knots?
.Crank engine to maximum HP, and verify positive LP rotation before selecting fuel control switch to RUN.
Q.What is the maximum allowable tailwind component for an engine ground start?
A.20 Knots
Q.What is the engine starter duty cycle?
A.3 minutes on, 15 seconds off, 3 minutes on, 15 seconds off, 3 minutes on, 15 minutes off.
Q.What is the maximum allowable crosswind component for an engine ground start?
30 Knots
Q.In what position(s) do the thrust reverser locks engage?
Stowed.
Q.When performing Engine Normal Airstart - Automatic (Below 250 KCAS), which is the correct statement for Wing Anti-ice?
L/R Wing Anti-ice must be selected to OFF
Q.What will happen when the thrust levers are advanced (Go Around) while the Speed Brakes are extended?
A.The Speed Brakes will retract, the Speed Brake Lever will not move.
Q.In the unlikely event that a thrust reverser should become unlocked and deploy in flight, what A. will the associated engine power setting do?
A.Go to idle AND POWER LEVER DOES NOT MOVE?
Q.How long after engine shutdown should you wait before checking the engine oil to ensure that the readings are accurate?
A.Between 5 minutes and 24 hours.
Q.Will you be able to check the Engine Oil Quantity if the engines were shutdown 10 hours ago?
A.Yes, the historic/shutdown quantity is available up to 24 hours after engine shutdown
Q.Can the engine‑oil quantity be checked 10 h after engine shutdown?
A.Yes, the historic/shutdown quantity is available for up to 24 h.
Q.What does it mean when the engine is in the Alternate Control mode?
A.The EEC will control LP instead of EPR
Q.If during engine start the TGT exceeds the maximum permissible value, what action will be taken by the FADEC?
A.On the ground the start will terminate automatically provided the start master switch is used; airborne the start will continue
Q.What TCAS mode must be selected with one engine inoperative?
A.TA ONLY
Q.The Left Engine Bleed is selected OFF. Will the Cowl Anti-Ice still be functioning when required?
A.Yes, bleed air is supplied from the 5th stage
Q.What must be done if the Engine Fire Handle has to be pulled and there is no Fire warning?
A.Pull the Fire Handle while pressing the button underneath the handle
Q.The Right Engine Bleed is selected OFF. Will the Wing Anti-Ice still be functioning when required?
Yes, irrespective of the Isolation Valve position
Q.How long is the use of takeoff thrust permitted?
A.With one engine operating - 10 minutes; with both engines operating - 5 minutes.
Q.If a touch and go landing is to be performed, the ground spoiler switch must be selected to what position?
A. OFF.
Q.What is the time limit for the use of Continuous Ignition?
A.There is no time limitation. However, frequent use will reduce Igniter life.
Is takeoff permitted with engine in alternate (LP) control mode?
A.No
