Q

Recite CABIN ALTITUDE HI memory item.

A

Crew Oxygen Masks……DON, 100%

Crew Communucation……ESTABLISH

2
Q

Will the CABIN ALTITUDE HI likely result in a descent? What altitude will you descend to? How would you find the MEA - Demonstrate.

A

Yes.
10,000’ MSL or MEA.
Ask ATC or EFB enroute low chart selected and look at boxed grid for altitude.

3
Q

What action does the SOPM require when passing through 14,500’ on an emergency descent?

A

Turn the Passenger Oxygen from AUTO to OVRD.

4
Q

How must the MFD be configured for an emergency descent?

A

TERRAIN must be selected.

5
Q

T/F: The primary purpose of continuous communication during an emergency descent is to identify possible pilot incapacitation.

A

True.

6
Q

What is the recommended vertical mode for an emergency descent?

A

FLCH.

7
Q

T/F: An emergency descent with the autopilot off requires that the autothrottle and flight director be turned of as well - why?

A

After selecting 10,000 ft ASL or MEA, whichever is higher, disconnect the autothrottle and set thrust settings to idle. Then, smoothly open speed brake and turn FD OFF.
Smoothly lower the nose to an initial descent attitude (approximately 10 degrees nose down). Approximately 10 kt before achieving target speed (VMO / MMO), slowly adjust pitch attitude to maintain speed. When structural integrity is in doubt, especially after an explosive depressurization, use flight controls with care, and maintain current cruise speed.
To better manage speed and thrust control, use the FLIGHT PATH VECTOR SPEED ERROR TAPE and FPA ACCELERATION POINTER chevron.

8
Q

Recite ENGINE ABNORMAL START memory item.

A

Affected Engine:

10
Q

List 4 of the 7 conditions that require the pilot to manually abort the start.

A

NNOTM/HHN:

A

ALL — you’re gonna need wings and cowls.

72
Q

If the MCDU is programmed REF A/I ALL, when will the engine anti-ice valves automatically open? Wing anti-ice valves?

A

ENG = only the EAI valve will be kept open after engine start. The WAI valves remains inhibited closed. The EICAS Status message ENG TDS REF A-I ENG will be displayed to confirm the MCDU selection.

ALL = the EAI valves are commanded open after completion of engine start and the WAI valves are commanded open with wheel speed above 40 kts. The EICAS Status message ENG TDS REF A-I ALL will be displayed to confirm the MCDU selection.

73
Q

If the flight crew selected REF A/I OFF and the aircraft encountered icing conditions immediately after takeoff, when would the anti-ice turn on automatically?

A

OFF = the anti-ice valves will be inhibited closed until the end of the takeoff phase, considered in the logic as 1700’ AGL or 2 min after liftoff. After that, the engine and wing anti-ice valves will open if ice is detected.

74
Q

78
Q

Describe a situation where a hold-over calculation is required.

A

Any time you deice.

HOT - hold over time range is an estimate of the time the decing/anti-icing fluid is effective in preventing the formation of frost, ice, or the accumulation of snow on a treated surface. HOT begins when the final application of the fluid commences and expires when the fluid loses its effectiveness - in other words, when ice or snow begins to form on or in the fluid.

79
Q

What is the difference between a Pretakeoff Check and a Pretakeoff Contamination Check? When are they required?

A

PC = a check of the airplane’s representative surface for frozen contaminants. This check is conducted within the HOT, just prior to takeoff and may be made by observing representative surfaces from whatever vantage point the PIC determines will give an accurate indication of the condition of the airplane.

PCC = a check conducted after the HOT has been exceeded to ensure wings, control surfaces, and other critical surfaces are free of all frozen contaminants. This check must be completed within 5 minutes prior to takeoff. Done from inside the main cabin. PCC is also required when taking off in SN+.

80
Q

What threats are associated with delaying flap extension until just prior to takeoff?

A

Forgetting the desired takeoff flap setting , or to set them at all.

81
Q

Are we permitted to takeoff in SN+ ?

A

Yes…there is no HOT…must accomplish a PCC and takeoff within 5 minutes.

82
Q

What is the minimum altitude a turn can be made in IMC (less than 1000/3)?

A

1000’ AGL.

83
Q

Is it mandatory that pilots fly a simple-special procedure in IMC? What about VMC?

A

The Simple-Special procedure differs from the Standard Procedures in that a turn to a NAVAID or heading is required before reaching 1000’. FRA remains at 1000’ AFE unless otherwise specified in the FLAP RETRACT box. Simple-Special procedures are mandatory in IMC. They are also mandatory in VMC until reaching 1000’ AFE. The turn to the NAVAID or heading is to be made at the highest bank angle appropriate for the aircraft speed. In IMC, if radar vectors are not available, comply with the special procedure until 3000’ AFE at which time you may proceed on course (as applicable).

84
Q

Is it mandatory that pilots fly a Complex-Special procedure in IMC? What about VMC?

A

Complex-Special Procedures are mandatory under IMC and VMC.

85
Q

When would you consider a runway to be wet for performance reasons?

A

A runway is considered wet when more than 25% of the runway surface area, within the length and width being used, is covered by any visible dampness or water 1/8” or less in depth.

86
Q

When is a runway considered to be contaminated?

A

When more than 25% of the runway surface area (whether in isolated areas or not), within the reported length and the width being used, is covered by more than 1/8” of standing water or equivalent in slush, wet snow, dry snow, or any depth of ice or compacted snow.

87
Q

When are reduced thrust takeoffs prohibited?

A

Takeoff on contaminated runway.
Reported or forecasted windshear.
When a special departure procedure specifies full thrust for takeoff.

88
Q

Is a runway with patchy thin ice or snow considered contaminated?

A

No. Need >25%.

89
Q

If the FLEX N1 value on EICAS is less than the calculated release value, what would you do?

A

Lower the flex temperature until N1 = TLR/ACARS -0% or +0.5%.

90
Q

During a single engine missed approach, would you fly the published missed approach procedure or wait until 1000’ AFE to commence a turn?

A

Fly the published missed approach profile.

91
Q

Where would you find LAHSO landing distance information?

A

SOPM. 4-10.12

92
Q

How long is a release valid?

A

A flight originates or is delayed more than 2 hours.

93
Q

Give at least 2 reasons why a pilot must amend or obtain a new release?

A

A flight cannot depart in accordance with the release.
The PIC or dispatcher requests a change (121.687).
Aircraft change.
A flight returns to the airport from which it departed.
Crew member change - amend OK for FO/FA, new release needed if Capt changes.
A deferral affecting performance.

94
Q

When must a takeoff alternate be listed on the release? (Have pilot determine if a takeoff alternate should be listed for this specific flight taking NOTAM’s into consideration.

A

If the WX at the departure is below landing minimums (visibility only) in the Ops Spec for that airport, an alternate 121.619 airport must be specified within 1 hour normal cruise, still air, with one engine inoperative, including CAT II.

95
Q

When is a destination alternate airport required? (Have pilot explain why a destination alternate is listed for this specific flight).

A

121.619/FOM 5.7.E — 1-2-3 Rule: under IFR, an alternate is always required unless, during the period from 1 hour before to 1 hour after ETA, the destination ceiling is forecasted to be great than or equal to 2000’ and the visibility is forecasted to be greater than or equal to 3 SM.

FOM 7.8.D = freezing precipitation: if destination is currently reporting or forecasting freezing rain or freezing drizzle, departure is still authorized, however, an alternate MUST be specified.

FOM 7.2.G = an alternate is required if all usable runways at the destination are reporting RwyCC values of 1.

96
Q

When does a release require an additional alternate airport?

A

Exemption 17347 Alternate.
Anytime the conditional weather exemption is used (17347), a second alternate is required.

121.619 = any WX equal to that required for the approach at destinations considered marginal. A second alternate is required if the destination and first alternate are both marginal. Dest = vis at mins. Alt = vis and ceiling at mins.

97
Q

Where is your planned TOC with respect to the tropopause? Why is this important to note? Identify tropopause using max wind levels on release.

A

Find it under MWL at TOC. There are no standard lapse rates above that flight level.

98
Q

What is the filed true airspeed for this release and why is it important to reference both before and during the flight?

A

TAS as it relates to efficiency. When slow TAS is planned, it directly affects the fuel loading - in most cases, slow TAS is for efficiency and will result in smaller fuel quantities, conversely, a high TAS will result in a larger quantity. With higher TASs the crew will likely be able to beat “the plan” and have extra fuel. With a slow TAS, the crew will have to follow the plan precisely and depending on the needs of ATC, may fall short of fuel.

Required to report any change in average cruise TAS by 5% or 10 kts whichever is greater. AIM 5-3-3.

99
Q

If an aircraft item is deferred after block out and prior to takeoff, is the deferred item required to be reflected on the release?

A

Yes.

100
Q

Are all MEL, CDL, NEF items required to be listed on the release?

A

All active MEL and CDL items - yes. NEF not.

101
Q

Does inputting an EFC time affect the progress fuel indication on the MFD?

A

Yes.

102
Q

What information does the PPDirect function provide on the FMS regarding fuel?

A

Fuel remaining based on current fuel flow.

103
Q

When holding, how can landing fuel be calculated?

A

Use of secondary flight plan is the most accurate.
Utilize PPOS as a guide.
On the hold page, look at Last Exit, and Hold Available.
Various options…

104
Q

How do you modify an EFC time in the FMS?

A

NAV»>HOLD»>enter new EFC.

105
Q

Does your dispatched fuel quantity include enough fuel to proceed to your destination, conduct an approach and missed approach and proceed to the alternate?

A

121.639/FOM 5.7.H
No person may takeoff unless the airplane has enough fuel to fly to the destination, then to the most distant alternate airport, then to fly for 45 min at normal cruise.

106
Q

If two destination alternate airports are listed on the release, are you planned to have enough fuel to proceed to the destination, execute a missed approach, fly to the first alternate, execute a missed approach then fly to the second alternate?

A

121.639/FOM 5.7.H
No person may takeoff unless the airplane has enough fuel to fly to the destination, then to the most distant alternate airport, then to fly for 45 min at normal cruise.

107
Q

What is minimum fuel?

A

2250 lbs

Minimum fuel provides 45 minutes of fuel endurance based upon 1,500 ft AFE / Green Dot / Clean.

Declare minimum fuel when the estimated fuel remaining on touchdown, at the airport of intended landing, is less than 45 minutes fuel endurance or as specified in “Minimum” column of the Minimum/Emergency Fuel Table; when further deviation from the planned route of flight could result in an emergency fuel situation.

108
Q

What is emergency fuel?

A

1500 lbs

Emergency fuel provides 30 minutes of fuel endurance based upon 1,500 ft AFE / Green Dot / Clean
