A
  • The Master Warning Lights and Fire Bell are inhibited from rotation (nose gear extension) until 400’ RA or 20 seconds.
  • Still get Fire Light and EICAS Message.
  • After Rotation, TO Configuration warnings are inhibited.
  • The Master Caution and aural indications are inhibited after 80 KIAS until 400’ or 20 Seconds after rotation, or in the event of a RTO, 75 KIAS.
  • Datalink Lost EICAS message (from Thrust Set)
  • Windshear Sys EICAS message (from Thrust Set until 400ft or 20sec)

Q

What is inhibited during Landing?

A
  • EICAS Comm alerts (SELCAL, ACARS, PRINTER)

Q

What is Message Inhibit?

A
  • When Fuel Control Switch in Cutoff, L ENG SHUTDOWN replaces individual messages.
  • ## When you have multiple failures in one system, it will consolidate EICAS Messages.

Q

Describe the Alert Message Inhibits.

A
  • Some alert messages will inhibit others that are lower priority or connected.
  • Certain alert messages are time delayed, to avoid excessive EICAS messages due to changing conditions / in transit erroneous indications.
  • Altitude alerting is inhibited in flight, with the landing gear down and locked.

Q

What will trigger a TO CONFIG Warning?

A
  • Armed when on the ground and thrust is in the takeoff range on either engine.
  • Consists of Master Warning, CONFIG warning light, aural warning siren, and associated EICAS message.
  • FLAPS (not in TO position or disagree with lever)
  • Parking Brake
  • Spoilers (not in down detent)
  • Stabilizer (not in Green band, nose up side only)

Can only be silenced by retarding thrust levers or correcting condition.
If thrust is reduced msg remains for 10sec so to identify the problem.

Q

Windshear warning system armed

Study These Flashcards
A

BLW 1500ft
Begins at rotation
Not armed on the ground

23
Q

How does GPWS Windshear work? Does it need moisture?

Study These Flashcards
A

-GPWS provides when an excessive downdraft or tailwind is occurring.
-Takes additional data from the stall warning computer and determines if decreasing performance
-Windshear conditions are occurring.
Does not need moisture

24
Q

How does PWS work?

Study These Flashcards
A

-Alerts when it detects disturbed air which contains moisture or particular matter ahead of the A/C

25
PWS WARNING AND CAUTION
``` On ground- Warning: 0.5nm to 3 nm Caution: 25degrees either side to 3nm In flight- Warning: 0.5nm to 1.5nm Caution: 25degrees either side to 3nm ```
26
When does PWS start scanning automatically
In flight BLW 2300ft AGL On GND thrust levers are set for T/O Wx is selected on EFIS CTRL panel and any mode other then test is selected on radar
27
How long after system begins scanning are PWS alerts available
12 seconds
28
When are PWS alerts inhibited
``` WARNINGS- Between 100kts and 50ftAGL CAUTIONS- Between 80kts and 400ftAGL Also inhibited by: Windshear immediate alert warnings GPWS immediate alert warnings GPWS look ahead terrain alerts ```

35
“MONITOR RADAR DISPLAY”
PWS CAUTION Maneuver as req'd to avoid windshear Visual alert- Amber WINDSHEAR on HSI, Red and Black PWS symbol on HSI
36
“WINDSHEAR AHEAD, WINDSHEAR AHEAD”
PWS Prior to V1 - Reject the T/O After V1 - Perform Windshear escape manoeuvre -Windshear encountered on TO roll: If encountered near V1 there may not be enough room to stop. At VR initiate a normal rotation rate toward a 15deg pitch attitude. Once airborne perform windshear escape. -If windshear is encountered near the normal rotation speed and speed suddenly drops there may not be sufficient RWY left to accelerate back to rotation speed. Initiate a normal rotation at least 2,000ft before the end of the runway, even if airspeed is low. Higher then normal rotation rates may be needed and ensure max thrust is set.
37
“GO AROUND, WINDSHEAR AHEAD”
PWS WARNING Perform WS escape or normal GA however when judged no danger clearly can continue. Also get 5 visual alerts
38
“WINDSHEAR, WINDSHEAR, WINDSHEAR “
GPWS or Unacceptable flight path deviations Perform WINDSHEAR ESCAPE Visual alert- Windshear warning light, master warning, RED WINDSHEAR on EADI
39
How is PWS caution displayed
EHSI 1. Black and Red PWS symbol 2. Amber “Windshear” annunciation
40
How is PWS Warning (“Windshear Ahead”) displayed?
1. WINDSHEAR light 2. MASTER WARNING light 3. Red WINDSHEAR on ADI’s 4. RED and BLACK PWS symbol on HSI 5. Red Windshear on EHSI
41
How is an immediate WS warning displayed
GPWS WINDSHEAR light (Red) Master WARNING lights Red WINDSHEAR on both ADI’s Aurally WINDSHEAR 3x
42
What are the three GPWS warnings you would conduct GPWS manoeuvre for?
“PULL UP” “TERRAIN, TERRAIN, PULL UP” “OBSTACLE, OBSTACLE, PULL UP”
43
What would you do if you received a “PULL UP” EGPWS whilst conducting the Windshear escape manoeuvre?
Continue the Windshear escape as it has priority however I would increase the pitch to stick shaker and ensure thrust levers are full forward if terrain contact is imminent.
44
“TERRAIN, TERRAIN, PULL UP”
``` EGPWS WARNING PULL UP light red Master warning lights Solid Red terrain on HSI Red TERRAIN annunciation on HSI ``` (20-30sec from projected impact)
45
“OBSTACLE, OBSTACLE, PULL UP”
``` EGPWS WARNING PULL UP light red Master warning lights Solid Red terrain on HSI Red OBSTACLE annunciation on HSI ``` (20-30sec from projected impact)
46
“CAUTION TERRAIN”
EGPWS CAUTION GND PROX light (Amber) Solid Amber terrain on HSI Amber TERRAIN annunciation on both HSI’s
47
“CAUTION OBSTACLE”
EGPWS CAUTION GND PROX light (Amber) Solid Amber terrain on HSI Amber TERRAIN annunciation on both HSI’s
48
“TOO LOW TERRAIN”
EGPWS CAUTION | GND PROX light Amber
49
What are the inhibits for engine start?
From start switch engagement until - Idle RPM - Start is aborted - 2 min since start sw engagement

What messages are not inhibited?
