a. L or R OVRSPD.
b. L or R EGT HIGH.
c. L or R Boost LO
d. L or R oil PR? - ANSWER L OR R BOOST LO

the EFD and the L/R OIL PR caution. - Answer: False
4. Each AMAD mechanically propels a ______________, a ______________,
and a ________________. - ANSWER: Fuel pump, generator, hydraulic pump
5. True/False: After turning on the APU switch, the APU will operate
completely automatically. - The answer is true.
6. What gives electrical power to the APU ignition and start control circuits? –
ANSWER: The airplane battery.
,7. True/False: If ATS caution is displayed when a DDI occurs, turn off the
afflicted engine to avoid starter damage. - The answer is true.
8. True/False: It is typical for an in-flight "OP GO" indicator to convert to a
"DEGD" indicator without changing the ENG STATUS when the aircraft slows
below 80 KCAS following landing. - The answer is true.
9. The Reduced Authority Thrust System (RATS) can be bypassed by
advancing the throttles to ______________. - Answer: full afterburner.
10. True/False: When the FUEL LO caution indicator appears, fuel will transfer
if the external tank control switch is set to stop the transfer and the hook handle
is held down. - The answer is true.
11. True/False: The fuel low level indicating system operates independently of
the fuel quantity indicating system. - The answer is true.
12. What fuel status activates the FUEL LO and MASTER CAUTION lights, as
well as the fuel low voice alert? - ANSWER: 1125 pounds
13. True or false: There is no voice alert related with BINGO fuel. - Answer:
False
14. List four events that will cause the gasoline dump to halt. - ANSWER 1.
The DUMP switch is set to off.
2. The BINGO warning comes on.
3. Tanks 1 and 4 are empty, and all available fuel from the internal and external
tanks has been depleted.
, 4. The FUEL LO caution light turns on.
15. True or False: Fuel cannot be spilled if the BINGO or FUEL LO warning
signs are visible. - Answer: False
16. What is the cockpit's alert for a single TR failure? - ANSWER There is no
cockpit warning for a single TR failure.
17. True or False: The outside lights master switch must be turned on to operate
the position and formation lights, but not the strobe lights. - Answer: False
18. The right or HYD system 2 powers _________ and __________ while also
pressurizing the _____ and __________________________. - ANSWER:
flying controls, arresting hook, APU, emergency brake accumulators.
19. True/False: The FCS RESET button does not repair a detected failure; it just
restores components and removes failure signs if and only if the failure no
longer exists. - The answer is true.
20. True/False: Selecting manual spin recovery mode (SPIN switch in RCVY)
significantly reduces controllability, prevents recovery from any departure or
spin, and is strictly prohibited. - The answer is true.
21. At what speed will the flaps commence AUTO scheduling during takeoff
when accelerating with the FLAP switch in HALF? - Answer: 240 KCAS.
22. True/False: Once EMERG is selected on the FCS COOL switch, selecting
NORM switches FCC A and right TR cooling back to avionics air. - Answer:
False
