Q

Define a Cold Soaked Airplane…

A

First Flight of the day

Aircraft is left out for more than 8 hours with temperatures of -30 degrees C or below, things must be done:

  • Engines must be motored for 60 seconds and fan rotation verified before engine start is initiated
  • Thrust Reversers must be actuated until the deploy and stow cycles are less than 2 seconds

A

41,000 ft

14
Q

Max APU start altitude:

A

37,000 feet

15
Q

Max Bleed Air Altitude using APU

A

25,000 feet

16
Q

If APU door position is open or unknown, what is the restricted airspeed?

A

220 Knots or less

17
Q

AVAIL Switchlight illuminates when?

A

99% plus 2 seconds

18
Q

What’s the limitation with APU start attempt limitations?

A

No more than 3 start attempts in 1 hour

  • 2 minute delay between start attempts
19
Q

When does the APU automatically shut down?

A

On the ground after 5 seconds

20
Q

Why is gravity pressure refueling less than pressure refueling?
(this question was asked by Kevin in class)

A

Because of the dihedral of the wing

21
Q

Why is the NACA scoop designed in that shape? (This question was asked by Kevin in class)

A

To prevent ice buildup

22
Q

What conditions will cause a takeoff configuration warning? (Kevin told us to know these)

A

“PASSFAR”

Parking Brake

Autopilot

Spoilers

Stab Trim

Flaps

Aileron Trim

Rudder Trim

23
Q

When does the Flight Data Recorder start to record?

A

When BEACON or STROBE light switch is selected on

24
Q

When does the Integrated Drive Generator (IDG) automatically disconnect?

A

“HOTLOP”

High Oil Temperature, Low Oil Pressure

25
Q

How would you know if the Integrated Drive Generator (IDG) is disconnected?

A

DISC Switchlight is illuminated

26
Q

When does the AUTO XFER Switchlight illuminate?

A

When a bus fault or generator overcurrent is detected by the Generator Control Unit (GCU)

27
Q

What happens when the AUTO XFER FAIL illuminates?

A

Affected generator is taken offline, due to a possible bus fault or generator over current

28
Q

AC AVAIL Switchlight indicates what when its illuminated?

A

Proper PHASE, VOLTAGE, FREQUENCY is established

29
Q

What does the Air Driven Generator (ADG) power?

A

  • HYD pump 3B
  • Slats/Flaps
  • Stab Trim CH2
30
Q

How is Hydraulic System 3 cooled?

A

Relies on natural convection and radiation to dissipate heat, Components are not in close proximity to any appreciable heat sources (engines)

31
Q

What does the rudder travel limiter (RTL) do?

A

Rudder travel is limited IN FLIGHT ONLY, prevents overstressing the vertical stabilizer

32
Q
