What’s the purpose of the safety check?
Short answer: makes sure switches are in the right place before you fly a new airplane. Making sure airplane is in the correct configuration before plugging in power.
FOM:
The safety check is completed prior to the application of electrical power and prior to the flight crew’s first flight of the day in each airplane they are dispatched. If accepting an airplane that is powered, verify compliance with the safety check.
WARNING:
PERSONAL INJURY MAY RESULT IF CERTAIN CONTROLS OR SWITCHES ARE IN THE WRONG POSITION AND POWER IS APPLIED TO THE AIRPLANE. IF CERTAIN CONTROLS AND SWITCHES ARE NOT IN AGREEMENT WITH THE POSITION INDICATED ON THE SAFETY CHECK (E.G., LANDING GEAR LEVER POSITION), CONTACT MAINTENANCE TO CLARIFY AIRPLANE STATUS.
What are the 3 read and do checklists?
Safety Check: checking airplane configuration before powering on
Power On Check: establish electrical power on an un-powered airplane. or verify in compliance
Securing Check:
Power-Up Check
The power-up check is performed prior to the flight crew’s first flight of the day in each airplane they are dispatched and to establish electrical power on an un-powered airplane. If electrical power is already established, verify compliance with all items.
Powering up the ERJ 170 correctly is critical for a successful power up. Follow each step as described without exception. DO NOT rush the power-up procedure.
Securing Check
When the airplane is terminating and all systems are to be shut down, the PIC is responsible for completing the securing check. The PIC may delegate the check to the SIC. The securing check is also completed anytime a power down procedure is required.
The securing check is a silent “read and do” check.
What are the Prior to Being Seated Items?
- Maintenance logbook
- Cockpit reinforced door pannel
- Airplane Manuals & Documents
- Emergency Equipment
In the Prior to being seated items check, what Manuals and Documents are you checking?
- Maintenance Logbook
- Airworthiness Certificate
- Registration
- Radio Station Certificate
- QRH
- CAT II Placard
For the complete list of required documents that need to be on board the aircraft refer to FOM 6-11.2 Required Aircraft Documents Tables.
In the Prior to being seated items check, what emergency equipment are you checking?
PBE (Protective breathing equipment) Fire extinguisher Crash axe Life Vests (3) Escape Ropes (2) Flashlights (2) Spare headset (1) Fire Retardant Gloves (1 pair)
Whats the first thing you check when you get to the airplane?
Maintenance Logs
3 check, 3 verifies,3 blank pages
- At least 3 unused AML pages.
- AMLs contain at least 1 airworthiness release
- No open write-ups (PIC need only check since the last Airworthiness Release)
- Verify the AML contains a record of required scheduled Maintenance inspections performed within the required time.
- Verify that all active DMIs (Deferred Maintenance Items) are within their expiration period and all procedures have been complied with.
How long is service check good for?
The Service Check is valid for two (UTC) calendar days after it is completed. A routine check may be substituted for a Service Check.
Maximum Operating Altitude?
41,000’
This is a design altitude limit and is not attainable under most operating conditions. In the AOM flight planning tables, the Maximum and Optimum Altitude table contains the actual operating cruise altitude limits.
Maximum Altitude Takeoff and Landing
8,000’
Maximum Runway Slope
+/- 2%
Maximum Tailwind Takeoff and Landing
10 knots
When computing crosswind and tailwind component, consider the entire gust factor of the reported wind (e.g. if the wind is 21010G20KT, use 21020KT as the wind for the computation) (CPS)
Maximum crosswind for takeoff and landing for Compacted Snow
20 knots
Maximum Taxi Speed Straight Dry/Wet?
Maximum Taxi Speed Straight CONTAMINATED?
30 knots
15 knots
Minimum airspeed for RAT?
130 KIAS
When we push the DVDR TEST button what are we looking for?
Push DVDR TEST for three seconds and release. Observe there are no FAIL messages on the EICAS to confirm a successful test.
How many minutes of cockpit audio can the DVDR record?
120 Minutes of audio and Digital Communication Messages
How many hours of flight data information can the DVDR record?
25 hours of Flight Data information
When does the DVDR start recording?
The Digital Voice Data Recorder Systems begin recording automatically. The Cockpit Voice Data recorder begins as soon
as power is applied, and stops when power is removed from the unit. The Flight Data record function starts when the
engines are turned on, or when the aircraft is in the air (no “Weight On Wheels” (WOW is false)). It stops when the aircraft
is Weight On Wheels and both engines are turned off. The DVDR unit is internally time synchronized for direct correlation of
the recorded Cockpit Voice to Flight Data Information. Additional Greenwich Mean Time information is provided for absolute
time marks. In the event of a fault or failure of the DVDR System, an advisory message on the EICAS comes on. Some
DVDR CAS messages will be inhibited during critical phases of flight.
The Digital Voice Data Recorder System has the following components:
Two identical Digital Voice Data Recorder units;
DVDR 1 is installed in the forward E Bay, DVDR 2 is installed in the aft E Bay. Two Impact Switches, one each mounted in
to its respective Digital Voice Data Recorder. One Tri-axial Accelerometer, installed in the left hand side wing-stub area.
One DVDR Control Panel, located in the cockpit on the overhead panel. One Cockpit Area Microphone, mounted on the
frame between both windshields.
The Digital Voice Data Recorder Control Panel uses standard input/output interfaces for a Cockpit Voice Recorder and a
Flight Data Recorder. The Test button (DVDR TEST) is used to initiate a Cockpit Voice Recorder and Flight Data Recorder
test within both DVDRs simultaneously. You can switch the FWD/AFT Switch position to check the test status for either
DVDR 1 – switched to FWD, or DVDR 2 – switched to AFT
What does CVR ERASE do?
The CVR ERASE button initiates the Cockpit Voice Recorder
Erase Function. For this function the Aircraft has to be on the ground and the parking brake has to be set. A HEADPHONE
jack is avaiable for audio monitoring. The position of the FWD/AFT Switch also determines the CVR audio monitor source -
forward or aft DVDR. The Cockpit Area Microphone (CAM) picks up area audio and delivers it to the preamplifier of the
DVDR Control Panel.
What buttons don’t light when ANNUNCIATIONS TEST is pressed?
Only the EMRG/PRKG BRAKE light, GPU pushbutton light, and fire test lights are not illuminated.
The striped bars and caption indications in all main panel, overhead panel, and control pedestal pushbuttons illuminate when pressed, allowing verification of lamp integrity.
