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

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
