Do the batteries assist the APU during engine start? Pg 2-12


Yes, both.

Does the operating engine generator assist the APU during 2nd engine start? Pg 2-13

Total capacity is 1,660 gallons or 11,223 lbs

Are the two tanks interconnected? Pg 5-2


Yes, by a crossfeed line. (That’s why you don’t crossfeed if suspicion of FUEL FILTER BYPASS)

How does the crossfeed work? Pg 5-2


Manually selected by the pilot, a DC electric motor valve located in the left wing tank inboard section opens (ball type valve)

What are flapper valves? Pg 5-2


Valves in the wing rib area to prevent a rapid shift of fuel to the outboard section, but allow fuel to flow inboard without restrictions

What is inside the engine feed hopper of the wing tank? Pg 5-2
The electric boost pump, primary ejector pumps and Float switch that activates the CAS “FUEL LOW L-R” (540 +-40 lbs)

How can we keep the hopper full of fuel? Pg 5-2

How many fuel pumps are installed and what do they do? Pg 5-1
6 per wing. 12 total.
-(1) Electric driven boost pump: Initiate fuel flow to FCU
-(1) Engine driven fuel pump: Sends fuel to the engine
-(1) Primary ejector pump: Sustain flow to FCU. They need electric boost pumps to get started. Then, Bernoulli’s principle takes over.
-(3) Transfer ejector pumps in each wing supply fuel: Support the boost pumps and primary ejector pumps

When will the electric boost pumps automatically come on? Pg 5-4
Engine starts, low fuel pressure (below 10 psi), crossfeed and APU (right side only, if engine not running)

Explain the fuel pumps operation in normal condition: pg 5-4


-High-pressure fuel (motive flow) from the engine driven fuel pump operates the primary ejector pump, which in turn supplies low-
pressure, high-volume fuel to the engine driven pump for engine operation
-The primary ejector pump supplies low-pressure motive flow to the transfer (scavenge) pumps

What are the different wing tank vents? Pg 5-3


-Vent Float Valve: Normally opened, it is the primary vent during fueling and defueling. It is located inboard of the surge tank
-Climb Vent Line: From the inboard section on tank all the way to the surge tank, it provides venting to tank during climb or wing low

Where is the aileron autopilot servo connected? Pg 15-2


On the aileron cable system (pilot side)

What is the aileron ratio changer? Pg 15-2

How many ADS are associated with the aileron ratio changer? Pg 15-2
Two.
-One in use
-One in standby
They rotate at start up

Which speedbrakes panels are nonmodulated? Pg 15-6


1, 5, 6, 10. The inboard and outboard of each wing. They are fully deployed or stowed

How do the remaining 6 speedbrakes panels operate? Pg 15-6


-Speedbrakes lever sends a signal to spoiler mixer control box.
-Once the 6 modulated panels are fully deployed, the non modulated ones will deploy
-The four modulated will assume full deployment when the handle is in the detent position

Are the speedbrakes/spoilers displayed in flight? Pg 15-8

-Autopilot trim
-Primary trim: yoke’s switches
-Secondary: Center pedestal if other trims are unavailable

Are the flaps and stabilizer interconnected? Pg 15-15

A full pedal travel of 21 degrees will move the rudder by how much? Pg 15-19
+-30.5 degrees

What is the rudder bias used for? Pg 15-19


To assist the pilot in the event an engine fails

How does the rudder bias actuator work? Pg 15-19


Driven by a dual pneumatic actuator that is equally supplied by P2.8 bleed air from each engine

How is the rudder bias anti-ice? Pg 15-19


From service air that is plumbed in the actuator shell. It is designed to vent this warm bleed air for anti-ice protection

What is the electric variable bias actuator? Pg 15-19


-It adjusts the moment arm of the pneumatic actuator and varies the effect of the bias system on rudder movement
-Meaning: At low speed, the actuator is fully extended, so less force is applied to the pedal for an increase of rudder movement

What determines the position of the electric variable bias actuator? Pg 15-19
It is determined automatically by the aircraft speed inputs from the air data computers modules

What are the speeds associated with the electric variable bias actuator? Pg 15-20
-Below 125 KIAS: allows full rudder travel
-Above 125 KIAS: rudder bias will begin restricting rudder travel as speed increases
-At 250 KIAS: rudder bias actuator is fully retracted (less rudder movement allowed)

What happens to the rudder bias when we deploy either TR? Pg 15-20
Full retraction of the variable bias actuator occurs automatically

What happens when you depress the RUDDER BIAS NORM/O’RIDE switchlight to O’RIDE? Pg 15-22
-It will command the variable bias actuator to its minimum length.
-Use if uncommanded rudder deflection occurs

When will the bias actuator move to its minimum length? Pg 15-22
-Above 250 KIAS
-TR deployment
-EMER STOW
-RUDER BIAS O’RIDE switch

What happens to the variable rudder bias actuator if we lose DC power? Pg 15-22

When will the stick shakers activate? Pg 15-25


When the angle of attach approaches the RED arc

Can we average the SWC computations for AOA outputs? Pg 15-24


No. Each SWC will output its result independent of the other
#1 SWC: pilot stick shaker
#2 SWC: copilot stick shaker

If the AOA system fails, can we still be warned of a stall condition? Pg 15-25
Yes. The nine boundary layer energizers (BLEs) on the leading edge of each wing provide stall warning prior to a full stall condition

What is the low airspeed awareness thermometer indicator? Pg 15-25


It will display a red bar on the inside of the indicated airspeed tape and extends upward to 1.1 Vs (stall speed)

What should we look for when FLAPS FAIL “cas” (< 35 degrees) in respect to the AOA system? Pg 15-26
Causing stick shaker warning to activate at a higher than normal airspeed for the actual flap extension

Is the YD a nonessential item? Pg 15-26
