Q

What’s the purpose of the safety check?

A

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.

Q

When does the DVDR start recording?

A

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.

30
What is an IDG and how many do we have?
We have two engine-driven Integrated Drive Generators
31
What does an IDG do?
The Integrated-Drive Generators (IDGs) are the main AC power sources when the engines are running. They are mounted on each main engine gearbox. A hydro-mechanical Constant-Speed-Drive (CSD) converts variable engine speed into constant generator speed. Each IDG generates constant frequency AC power at 40kVA, 115 V, 400 Hz, 3-phase. The IDG oil system is air-cooled. The IDGs are monitored and controlled by the Generator Control Units (GCUs).
32
How many Generators does the airplane have?
two engine-driven Integrated Drive Generators (IDGs), one Auxiliary Power Unit Generator, one Ram Air Turbine Generator (RAT) and one AC external power input
33

no you don’t need APU on.
35
How long hold the disconnect switch for IDG?
By selecting the knob to the DISC position, and holding it in this position for one (marty gouge says 2) second, the IDG will be mechanically disconnect.
36
Can we reconnect IDG after disconnect?
Only authorized maintenance personnel on ground can reset a disconnected IDG. For safety, the IDG features an input shaft shear section and a thermal disconnect operation. This will disconnect the IDG permanently if there is no manual disconnection.
37
What does AVAIL light on GPU mean?
AVAIL will illuminate with the button pushed in or out when the AC GPU is connected to the aircraft, but is not powering the AC BUS TIE. IN USE Light: IN USE will only illuminate when the button is pushed in, and the AC GPU is powering the AC BUS TIE.
38
Whats the priority for the AC buses? | What is the AC electrical system‘s priority?
``` • Onside (IDG) • Inside (APU) • Outside (GPU) • Cross-Side (Other IDG) Note: The airplane uses an onboard AC power source before an external AC source ```
39
What is a TRU?
``` Transformer Rectifier Units, we have 3 TRUs (Transformer Rectifier Units) - 28VDC, 300A ```
40
Whats does a TRU do?
* Primary DC power source * Converts 115VAC into 28VDC * Each works in isolation from the other TRU1 is located inside the Left Integrated Control Centers, TRU2 is inside the right integrated control center and TRU essential is inside the Emergency Integrated Control Center. DC power is generated by conversion of AC to DC power. The input of each TRU is 115V AC, 400Hz frequency stabilized, and the output is 28V DC, rated at 300 Amps of current. The TRU TOGGLE switches on the cockpit overhead panel provide control of the three transformer unit contactors, and must be in AUTO position during normal (automatic) operation. If a switch is set to "OFF", the respective TRU contactor will open.
41
If I start APU do I need both batteries on? Why???????? Check answer not sure,
APU starting may use either the onboard battery 2, or power from a DC external ground cart. APU start bus is connect to Battery 2
42
What else can power APU starter motor?
DC external ground cart.
43
On the power up check, says 22v minimum why do we need 22?
(that’s the minimum for takeoff) 21v to start APU To read battery voltage, the GPU pushbutton must be disconnected (pushed out).
44
What if you have less than 21v before starting APU?
If battery voltage is below 21 volts, notify maintenance.
45
If your power is between 21-22v what do you do?
Charge the batteries
46
How do you charge the batteries?
Procedure in the AOM 1 If battery voltage is between 21 and 22 volts, use the battery charging procedure below to ensure battery voltage is at or above 22V prior to takeoff. a. Battery charging procedure: • Recharge the batteries prior to takeoff through any AC source including engines or GPU. Recharging using the engines during taxi may also be credited towards the charge times listed below:
47
How much time will 22v of battery power give me?
• Will provide 10 minutes of power during an electrical emergency
48
At what voltage does the battery relays drop out?
18v is the minimum battery voltage to close the battery bus-ties
49
What causes the rat to deploy?
Loss of power to the AC buses. Manually by pilot. If there is a sudden loss of AC power In flight, the RAT is automatically deployed into the air stream. The kinetic energy of airflow across the turbine is converted into mechanical power to drive the generator
50
What happens if a power-generating source fails?
• Bus ties automatically connect to provide no system degradation.
51
How long for RAT to deploy? Why?
Whenever AC power sources are not powering AC buses, the RAT is automatically deployed, and after 8 s, supplies power to the AC ESS BUS. Once deployed it will create a very loud noise due to the high rotation speed, and cannot be stowed back in flight, even if normal electrical power is reestablished.
52
What supplies power during the 8 second RAT deployment?
Batteries supply power to the DC ESS BUSSES and AC STANDBY BUS
53
What is system is essential on the AC system that when rat is deployed?
Hydraulics (source? marty's gouge)
54
What is the minimum speed for RAT in the QRH?
150 KIAS
55
What happens if you go below 130 KIAS with the rat out?
At speeds below this, the RAT may only supply the AC ESS BUS, and the batteries will automatically provide electrical power to the DC ESS BUSES and the STANDBY AC BUS through the static inverter (AC/DC inverter). As airspeed decreases, load shedding occurs and the AC ESS BUS is no longer powered.
56
What does the RAT power?
AC/DC ESS BUSES
57
Whats powered while you’re on the batteries, equipment?
Eiss,clock, acps, mcd 2, compass light, guidance panel, ccu, revisionary panels. (Check source marty's gouge)

81
Where is the fuel temperature temperature taken from ?
A fuel temperature sensor is installed in the left tank only. If the temperature in the left tank drops below a pre determined value, a "FUEL TANK LO TEMP" caution appears on the EICAS. The fuel temperature can be monitored on the fuel system synoptic page.
82
What can’t be on for takeoff and landings?
Crossfeed
83
What is the collector tank for?
to ensure continuous fuel feed to the engine throughout the whole flight envelope. The arrangement of the tanks permits the fuel to flow from the outer tank area to the wing root, and into the collector tank. Each tank contains baffle and flapper check valves that prevent fuel from escaping from the collector tank and prevents fuel from entering the surge tank.
84
What pumps are in the collector tank?
ejector pumps, which are driven by high-pressure motive fuel flow supplied by the dedicated engine fuel pumps
85
Whats the DC fuel pump used for?
Apu start and eng start if AC power not available • Installed only in the right wing • Provides pressurized fuel for normal APU start when AC power or the AC fuel pump 2 is not available A DC powered electric centrifugal pump located in the RH collector tank provides a source of pressurized fuel supply for APU and engine start in flight, or on the ground if the engine feed ejector pump and AC power or the AC Fuel pump are not available. Electrical power will be supplied from the DC ESS BUS 2
86
What turns on the DC pump for a battery eng start?
FADEC (Not sure what this question means)
87
When starting the ENG what happens at 7%,20,50?
The FADEC initiates ignition at approximately 7% N2 the fuel flow (metering valve opens) at approximately 20% N2. FADEC will automatically switch to the other ignitor if no light off is detected within 15 s after initiation of fuel flow. The start should be aborted if no light off is detected within 30 s after initiation of fuel flow. After a light off occurs, the FADEC commands the starter to cutout at approximately 50% N2, and commands the FMU fuel metering valve to accelerate the engine to ground idle speed.
88
What are the different ways to turn the AC fuel pumps on?
(not sure if this answers the question) OFF: deactivates the associated AC fuel pump. automatically AUTO: operates the associated AC fuel pump according to the system’s logic. ON: activates the associated AC fuel pump.
