[Show More] he aircraft and the applicable crew member will be required when Any of the above Normal hydraulic pressure range is ____ to ___ psi 2400 - 3050 psi Maximum EGT during engine start is ____ degrees C 725 EGT between _____ is limited to 5 min duration. EGT between ____ - retard the throttle to bring EGT to within limits. Operation is allowed until the next landing, if the EGT exceeds ______ - shut down the engine using ENGINE FIRE FAILURE DURING FLIGHT checklist 870 - 905 C 906 - 930 C 930 C Normal oil pressure limits are ____ psi. Oil pressure fluctuations of not more than ___ psi total are allowed. As long as they remain within normal limits 11 - 92 10 Moderate to severe airplane buffeting can occur with simultaneous use of speed brakes and flaps. This buffeting can result in damage or loss of airplane surfaces True Because of possible damage due to sonic airflow at certain angles of attack, do not extend flaps above ___ feet pressure altitude 20,000 The t/o and emergency procedures portion will be reviewed just prior to Engien start OR takeoff B or C answer Based on _____, the aircraft commander may elect single pilot preflight ops where one pilot proceeds to the aircraft with the boom op to perform the exterior safety check and begin the interior preflight checks, while the other pilot accomplishes additional duties (wx brief, etc) A or B Operational need OR mission requirements. All crewmembers will inform the pilot when checking off and/or on interphone and will be on interphone during All of the above Because of the magnitude of interrelated aerodynamic affects, flying to airplanes in close vertical proximity is not safe Speed brakes are NOT used during approach and landing flare True All snow and ice accumulations of any significant degree must be removed from the airplane surfaces prior to takeoff True If the _____ is not down and in the detent, ensure that the _____ is installed. Notify the AC and mx personell immediately. No further preflight actions will be accomplished until mx personell correct the situation and confirm that the aircraft is preflight config Landing gear level nose gear ground downlock and release handle The pilot will ensure that no personnel are standing near the _________________ when pressurizing the left hydraulic system. wheel well doors The copilot ANN DIM switch on the co overhead light panel must be out of the DIM (full ccw) position for the____ to operate. Ensure it is out of full dim prior to closing the crew door. Once closed, the switch can be adjusted FDR Possible causes of a ____ are engaging the pilot's interphone (on the yoke or the tiller) pressing the pilots FD ANN TEST button, a cold hydraulic system, the low-flow capability of the aux hydraulic pump, and/or the use of other hydraulically actuated systems during the EFAS test, in this case, the EFAS self-test is ______ indicating a system failure Failed EFAS test incorrectly Speed brake warning horn sounds when the level is pulled back more than ___ degrees out of the full forward position 2 Proper adjustment of the ____ is especially critical for takeoff, approach, and landing where full deflection of control surfaces may be required for safe operation of the airplane. To prevent inadvertent movement of the seat, ensure that the ____ is in the down and latched position Seat and rudder pedals seat horizontal adjustment lever If an APU with an operable generator is not available, and external power is not used, the start can be made on battery power only. During this procedure, all engine ____ gages are inop until a generator is on the line and 28V AC power is available. Oil pressure and fuel flow Copilot checks for initial fuel flow peak of ____ pph (before ignition) and approximately ___ pph after ignition. If fuel flow exceeds ____ pph before lightoff, a hot start can occur 300-680 900 680 For temps ____, failure to set the engine start switch to IGNITION may result in engine flameout when the throttles are retarded during taxi ops At and below 0C (32F) Items 18 - 29 of the starting engines and before taxi checklist may be accomplished while waiting for the ground crew report True Min taxi width is ___ feet 74 feet Do not taxi, or tow an aircraft within ____ of obstructions without wing walkers monitoring clearance between aircraft and obstruction, and do not taxi closer than _____ to any obstacles 25 10 When taxi clrc is doubtful, use ___ wing walkers one or more Make every effort to min the potential for engine FOD. crews should All of the above What is the min taxi space during formation safe interval during night taxi operations, marshallers will have ____ in each hand An illuminated wand AF pilots may passively participate in LAHSO (land or t/o when another aircraft has been given LAHSO clrc). PIC is the final authority whether to t/o, land, continue a touch and go when a merging aircraft recieved a LAHSO clrc True When must aircraft anti-collision lights be displayed from just prior to engine start until engine shutdown you are approaching another aircraft on the ground head on, what should you do alter the course to their right to remain well clear, or stop When taxi clrc is doubtful and wing walkers are not available Deplane one or more crew members to maintain obstruction clrc and provide marshaling using AFI 11-218 signals In those situations where runway/taxi conditions or performance considerations are such that safety could be compromosed a static takeoff should be made For a t/o, approach, or lndg with fuel in any main tank below _____ pounds, open all tank to engine manifold valves. Open the line valve for t/o when gross weight is greater than _____ pounds. Ensure the line valve is closed for all takeoffs when gross weight is at or below _____ pounds 10,500 200,000 200,000 Exercise caution during throttle application to prevent asymmetrical thrust. Engine thrust should be stabilized at a minimum of ___ prior to advancing throttles to takeoff thrust setting 40% N1 Uncommanded stab trim input is a safety of flight issue. Terminate the mission (and in flight, land as soon as practicable) any time uncommanded stab trim is encountered True If any engine does not reach the charted N1 setting ______ the engine is not providing the required rated thrust, and the T/o should be aborted Between 40 and 80 knots Illumination of amber EGT caution light near or after S1 indicates the EGT may be approaching t/o limit. Indication is for crew awareness and does not indicate an engine op limit being exceedd. continue normal op and monitor EGT to prevent exceeding the takeoff limit True When ___ throttle is advanced near open, the warning horn sounds if the speed brakes lever is more than 2 degrees out of the full forward position. If the flap lever is at or near the 0 40 or 50 degree detent, or the leading edge flaps are not full extended No 3 The sudden reversal of rudder direction at high rudder deflections, due to improper rudder application or abrupt release, can result in _____. over stressing the vertical fin If stab trim has moved from setting selected during the taxi checklist.______ abort the mission When experiencing a loss shear on t/o, anticipate a loss in indicated airspeed and altitude. This situation is potentially dangerous if the airplane is close to the ground. If this loss is expected to be ____ kts or more, the t/o shall be delayed, if possible, until more favourable conditions exist 15 When the airplane is definitely airborne and a positve rate of climb is estblshed, retract the landing gear True Follow -1 procedures for the climb mode selected until reaching ____ or obstacle clearance height, whichever is higher 2000 ft above the runway Leave ignition on if engine anti-ice is on. If not required, turn starter switches off _____ 5 min after establisehd at cruise altitude [Show Less]
