Pressing the SYS pb does what? |
Inhibits all basic GPWS alerts (mode 1 to 5), the predictive mode (TERR) wont be effected. |
|
What does an amber FAULT light in the SYS pb indicate on the GPWS panel? Is the terrain mode affected? |
Any failure of GPWS mode 1 through 5, NO terrain mode is not affected. |
|
What does an amber FAULT light in the TERR pb indicate on the GPWS panel? |
Predictive mode fail, terrain is not shown on the ND. |
|
What does LDG FLAP 3 ON light indicate? |
Mode 4 “Too Low Flaps” inhibited for a Flap 3 landing, land MEMO displays FLAP 3 instead of full. |
|
What does FLAP MODE OFF light indicate? |
Mode 4 “Too Low Flaps” is inhibited when landing with less than Flap 3. |
|
What are the 5 basic GPWS modes? (Generates aural and visual warnings, when one of the following conditions occurs between radio heights 10 ft and 2 450 ft) |
1. Excessive rate of decent (sink rate ) 2. Excessive terrain closure (terrain terrain) 3. Altitude loss after T/O (Don’t sink) 4. Unsafe terrain clearance (too low flap ,,too low gear) 5. Excessive GS deviation (Glide slop) (The cockpit loudspeakers broadcast, even if turned off, the aural warning or caution messages associated with each mode) |
|
What are the predictive functions of GPWS based on? |
The predictive functions are based on a worldwide terrain database, and on the modeling of the climbe performance capability of the aircraft. |
|
What do they provide more over the normal GPWS 5 basic functions? |
Terrain clearance floor (TCF) Terrain awareness display (TAD) Note: the predictive functions give additional time for the crew to respond |
|
What is inhibited if the GPWS predictive functions are operative? |
GPWS Mode 2 is inhibited. |
|
What does the amber ON BAT light indicate? |
The aircraft batteries are powering one or more IR(s). Also comes on for few seconds at the beginning of a complete IRS alignment. |
|
How do you fast align an IR? |
Turn the NAV selectors OFF momentarily (not more than 5 seconds) and then back on. |
|
What does steady illumination of the amber IR FAULT light indicate? |
The respective IR is lost. |
|
What does flashing of the amber IR FAULT light indicate? |
Attitude and Heading information may be recovered in ATT mode (you have lost the navigation portion). |
|
What does the amber ADR FAULT light indicate? |
A fault is detected in the Air Data Reference system. |
|
What Info does the IR supplies? |
8 info: Heading, Attitude, Angular rate, Flight path vector, Track, Acceleration, Ground speed, Aircraft position. |
|
What Info does the ADR supplies? |
6 info: Altitude, airspeed, mach, over speed warning, angle of attack, temperature. |
|
What would be missing on the Captain’s PFD if IR 1 failed or was turned OFF? |
Attitude and navigation information |
|
What action would recover the attitude and navigation information? |
Selecting CAPT 3 on the EIS switching panel ATT/HDG selector |
|
When do we need to select ATT and what must be done after selecting it? |
We can select ATT If the IR system loses its ability to navigate (indicated by flashing fault light). AFTER selecting ATT (A/C must be level with constant speed for 30 seconds) the heading must be entered through the MCDU and has to be reset frequently (about every 10 minutes). Check QRH ABNORMAL PROCEDURES (IR ALIGHNMENT IN ATT). |
|
With the loss of ADR 1, what would be lost on the Captains PFD? |
Airspeed and Altitude |
|
What would restore the lost altitude and airspeed information? |
Selecting CAPT 3 on the EIS Switching Panel AIR DATA Selector 1 |
|
When ADR2 is lost during taxi, what do we do? |
Reset the ADR2 by selecting switch off and on. |
|
What displays or modes are available on the ND?
|
Rose ILS Rose VOR Rose NAV ARC PLAN |
|
What colors are used to represent the various displayed flight plans? |
Active – continuous green line Secondary – continuous white line Temporary – dashed yellow line Alternate – dashed blue line Missed approach – continuous blue line |
|
Top of Descent and Continue Descent arrows are displayed in blue or white. What is the difference? |
Top of Descent – Always white (never armed) Continue Descent – Blue indicates armed, white indicates NOT armed |
|
What color does each altitude constraint circle represent? |
White – constraint is not taken into account Magenta – constraint is predicted to be satisfied Amber – constraint is predicted to be missed |
|
If modes range data fails what should you expect to see on the ND? |
ROSE NAV and 80 nm range. |
|
Where is VOR data displayed? |
Both ND’s- |
|
TCAS Intruder Classifications? (also memorise the Symbols!) |
1- Proximate No collision threat Intruder (closer than 6 NM laterally and ±1 200 ft) ND: intruder position 2- Traffic Advisory (TA) Potential collision threat about 40 s. ND: intruder position Aural messages 3- Resolution Advisory (RA) Real collision threat about 25 s ND: intruder position.Aural messages.PFD: vertical orders Maintain actual V/S (Preventive Advisory) or Modify V/S (Corrective Advisory) 4. Other intruders No collision threat. non proximate, TA, RA area closer than 30 NM. vertical |
|
What capabilities does the RADAR system have? |
Weather avoidance Turbulence detection Terrain mapping Predictive windshear detection |
|
What would prevent the weather display on the ND? |
Mode selector in PLAN TERR selected ON |
|
When is WX/TURB mode available? |
At ranges of 40 nm or less |
|
Does predictive windshear detection work when the RADAR system is switched OFF? L |
Yes, if the Windshear switch is in AUTO |
|
What is the scanned area of the predictive wind-shear detection feature? |
Up to 5 nm ahead of the aircraft when the aircraft is below 1,500 feet AG |
|
When are predictive wind-shear alerts inhibited? |
When on the ground above 100 knots until reaching 50 feet AGL When landing below 50 feet AGL |
|
How many RADAR systems are installed? |
