SkyWest ERJ 175 KV Question and
Answers
What pitch guidance do takeoff cross bars give? - answer Initial flap based, 4 = 12d,
2 = 10d, 1 = 11d
once airborne, V2+10
TO Pitch mode limited to 8-18 degrees
When does dual cue FD turn to single cue? - answer A/P - on
Why FLCH preferred climb instead of FPA or VS? - answer Stall/speed protection,
best rate, most efficient
What config gives highest rate of descent? - answer 210, flaps 1, speed brakes, gear
3 indications stall is eminent? - answer buffet, loss of lateral control, stall warning,
stick shaker
How can pilot determine AOA using PFD? - answer difference between FPV
Airplane Symbol
on a missed approach, what speed is commanded - answer VAC
What are indications of auro-relight? - answer N2 is steady accelerating, ITT remains
within start limit
What vertical mode would you use for a VOR with a MDA? - answer GP, must add
50ft. to MDA if no ball note
What vertical mode do you use for a loc? - answer FPA
Min charge for EFB? - answer 80%, 4200lbs/hr.
What apps can be active in flight? - answer flighthdeck pro, Pubs and docs
What would you do if one EFB failed in flight? - answer Reference the operational
one
What to do if both EFB's fail? - answer Notify dispatch, coordinate best course of
action
What Items are required to be on release? - answer Dep/Dest/Alt, IFR/VFR, MINTO,
Wx, Flt ID, Tail# (DIMWIT)
, How long is a release valid? - answer 2 hrs
Reasons a pilot must obtain a new release? - answer Change of tail, change of
Captain, release expires, MEL/NEL prior to blockout
When must a takeoff alternate be listed on the release? - answer when departure wx
is below the minimums for the lowest applicable approach at departure aerodrome
How do you amend a release? - answer contact Dispatch
what are the restrictions of associates with takeoff alternate? - answer 2 engine
aircraft require alternate to be within 1 hour at normal cruising speed with one engine
inop.
when is destination alternate required? - answer 1-2-3 rule: +/- 1 hr if arrival wx is
forecast to be below 2000' and 3 sm.
how can you determine if a dest alternate is legal? - answer use derived mins, so if
one approach = 400/1 above approach mins. if 2 approaches to separate runways w/
seperate navaids = 200 and 1/2 above approach mins.
When does a release require a second airport? - answer when applying 3585 or
when marginal wx exists at alternate = vis and ceiling equals mins.
MINTO, what is it, how is it calculated - answer min fuel for takeoff, includes enroute
burn +most distant alternate + holding + reserve
release fuel, how is it calculated - answer MINTO plus taxi out and contingency fuel
rounded to nearest 100 lbs
how is reserve fuel calculated - answer 45 minutes of the fuel flow at the TOD
Contingency fuel, how is it calculated? - answer based on planned landing weight,
10,000 ft above the airport
how is holding fuel calculated? - answer at planned landing weight 10,000 ft above
the airport.
What does a sabre wind shear value >07 indicate? - answer mod turb likely, severe
possible
What is the min contingency fuel for the ERJ under normal flight conditions? - answer
15 min
