down the airplane via the leaving the aircraft checklist and power back up from the
start.
What should the pilot look for prior to commencing the fire test? -
✔✔✔ANSWER-Check for fire detection/extinguishing messages on the EICASS
What switched on the overhead illuminate amber? - ✔✔✔ANSWER-Engine and
APU bleeds. Indicates bleed leak.
,3 indications stall is eminent? - ✔✔✔ANSWER-buffet, loss of lateral control, stall
warning, stick shaker
According to SOPM how long should we delay APU start before pushback? -
✔✔✔ANSWER-10 min
Are MEL, CDL, and NEF items required to be on release? - ✔✔✔ANSWER-MEL
and CDL items are required to be on release, NEF items are not.
Are notams in local or zulu - ✔✔✔ANSWER-ZULU
Are you able to restow the fire handle after you pull it? - ✔✔✔ANSWER-Yes
Are you allowed to land with a fuel imbalance? - ✔✔✔ANSWER-not while
indicated on EICASS
Before attempting to balance fuel what does the SOPM require the pilot to check

management page, if FMS fuel remaining quantity is lower than EICAS total,
disregard FMS fuel remaining info. This can help you determine if you have a bad
fuel sensor probe, fuel leak, etc.
Calculate Vapp Speed? - ✔✔✔ANSWER--No Stall Protect = Vref +(.5)HW
Component + gust factor (min +5 max +20)
-Stall Protect = Vref +(.5)HW Component + gust factor (min 0, max +20)
, Can pilots jumpseat on an international flight? - ✔✔✔ANSWER-Only FAA
aviation safety inspector, DOD air carrier, evaluator who is checking flight ops,
