MACH LOAD FACTOR

 TURBULENT AIR PENETRATION
Flight through severe turbulence must be avoided, if possible.
If not possible, reduce altitude to increase buffet margin.
The recommended procedures for turbulent air penetration are:

1. AIRSPEED
At or Below 10000 ft ................................................ 200 KIAS
Above 10000 ft ........................................................ 250 KIAS/
0.63 M,
WHICHEVER
IS LOWER
Severe turbulence will cause large and often rapid variations in
indicated airspeed. Do not chase the airspeed.

2. ATTITUDE
Maintain wings level and proper pitch attitude. Use attitude indicator
as the primary instrument. In extreme drafts, large attitude changes
may occur. Do not use sudden large control inputs.

3. PITCH TRIM
Maintain control of the airplane with the elevators. After establishing
the trim setting for penetration speed, do not change pitch trim.

4. ALTITUDE
Large altitude variations are possible in severe turbulence. Sacrifice
altitude in order to maintain the desired attitude. Do not chase
altitude.

5. THRUST SETTING
Make an initial thrust setting for the target airspeed. Change thrust
setting only in case of extreme airspeed variation.
In case of inadvertent negative-g condition, reduce thrust levers.

NOTE: Do not extend flaps except for approach and landing.

5/1540 - FAA
CROSSFEED OPERATION
NOTE: Crossfeed must be OFF during takeoff and landing.
If wing fuel imbalance is verified (no fuel leak suspected):
Attitude..................................................................... WINGS
LEVELED
Compare Total Fuel indication in MFD Fuel Page with FMS Fuel
Remaining information.
If FMS Fuel Remaining quantity is lower than MFD Total Fuel
indication, disregard FMS Fuel Remaining information and monitor
fuel quantities.
If left wing presents lower level:
Crossfeed Selector ............................................. LOW1
If right wing presents lower level:
Crossfeed Selector ............................................. LOW2
Monitor fuel imbalance. When the desired balance is achieved:
Crossfeed Selector ............................................. OFF
Monitor Total Fuel indication in MFD Fuel Page with FMS Fuel
Remaining information.

EGPWS EICAS message.
When an EGPWS alert occurs, use the flight controls and thrust as
necessary to correct the airplane attitude, flight path and configuration
according to the voice message presented to provide terrain
clearance.

CAUTION: THE TERRAIN DISPLAY IS INTENDED TO BE USED

AS A SITUATIONAL TOOL ONLY AND MAY NOT
PROVIDE THE ACCURACY AND/OR FIDELITY ON
WHICH TO SOLELY BASE TERRAIN AVOIDANCE
MANEUVERING DECISIONS.

WINDSHEAR PREVENTION/RECOVERY
Aural Warning: WINDSHEAR voice message is generated if
WDSHEAR red indication is presented (EGPWS
warning may also be activated).
Thrust Levers................................................................ MAX
Go Around Buttons ....................................................... PRESS
Rotate the airplane smoothly to minimize altitude loss. Flight guidance
on EADI must be followed.

NOTE: Pitch attitude may be well above normal angles.

Maintain airplane configuration. Do not change gear and flap position
until terrain clearance is assured.
5/1540 - FAA
TRAFFIC AND COLLISION AVOIDANCE
Aural Warning: According to the Traffic Advisory (TA) and Resolution
Advisory (RA) associated.
The pilot must not initiate evasive maneuvers using information from
the traffic display or the voice message only, without visually sighting
the traffic. The traffic display and advisories are intended for
assistance in visually locating the traffic.
Compliance with TCAS resolution advisory is required unless the pilot
considers it unsafe to do so. Maneuvers which are in the opposite
direction of the RA are extremely hazardous, especially RAs involving
altitude crossing, and are prohibited unless it is visually determined to
be the only means to assure safe separation.

TRANSPONDER
In compliance with Airworthiness Directive 2006-19-04, during all flight
phases, after completion of any 4096 ATC Code change (also referred
to as Mode A Code), check the status of the transponder. If the
transponder indicates that it is in standby mode, re-select the desired
mode (i.e., the transponder should be in the active mode).

1540 - FAA
 OPERATION IN ICING CONDITIONS
The procedures below complement or change the remaining
procedures presented in this Section. For emergency and abnormal
procedures related to operation in icing conditions, refer to Section 3.

NOTE: - Icing conditions may exist whenever the Static Air

Temperature (SAT) on the ground or for takeoff, or Total Air
Temperature (TAT) inflight, is 10°C or below and visible
moisture in any form is present (such as clouds, fog with
visibility of one mile or less, rain, snow, sleet, and ice
crystals).
- Icing conditions may also exist when the SAT on the ground
and for takeoff is 10°C or below when operating on ramps,
taxiways, or runways where surface snow, ice, standing
water, or slush may be ingested by the engines, or freeze on
engines, nacelles, or engine sensor probes.
- Notwithstanding ice detector monitoring, the crew remains
responsible for monitoring icing conditions and for manual
activation of the ice protection system if icing conditions are
present and the ice detection system is not activating the ice
protection system.
- The clear ice detection system will sense clear ice
accumulation only in the inboard area of the upper wing
surface. It does not detect the presence of frost or snow and
it is unable to sense ice accumulations on other parts of the
wing or airplane. The operator must ensure that the airplane
surfaces are free of frost, snow and ice accumulation prior to
takeoff.

BEFORE START
Clear ice detection test:
Anti-Icing Push Buttons
(engine, wing and stabilizer)............................... PRESSED
Ice Detection Override Knob.................................... AUTO
Ice Detection Test Knob .......................................... 1
Test knob must be held at least 3 seconds in position 1.
Check that CLR ICE 1, CLR ICE 2, CLR/I INOP 1 and CLR/I
INOP 2 caution messages are displayed on the EICAS.

NOTE: When the Ice Detection Test Knob is selected to 1, the ICE
DET 1 FAIL and BLD 1 LOW TEMP caution messages and
ICE CONDITION advisory message are displayed on
EICAS.

NOTE: SPS/ICE SPEEDS message will remain displayed after icing

encounter. Before next takeoff the message must be removed
by testing the Stall Protection System.

AFTER START
Ice Detection Override Knob......................................... ENG
Crossbleed .................................................................... AUTO

CAUTION: BOTH ENGINE BLEEDS MUST BE OPEN, IN ORDER

TO ASSURE BLEED AIR FLOW THROUGH THE
LEADING EDGES. APU BLEED MUST NOT BE USED.

 BEFORE TAKEOFF
∗ Ice Protection Test:
NOTE: The ice protection test may be carried out completely on the
ground, or in 2 separate phases (first phase on the ground and
second phase in flight), depending on weather conditions and
crew discretion. For takeoffs, when icing conditions exist or are
anticipated for takeoff or climb, the tests in paragraph A must
be performed.
On ground, if the engine vibration increases, advance thrust levers,
one at a time, to obtain at least 60% N1 for 5 seconds and then return
to the former setting.
A - When actual icing conditions exist or are anticipated for takeoff and
climb, proceed:
Ice Detection Override Knob................................... ALL
Thrust Levers .......................................................... 83% N2
Ice Detection Test Knob.......................................... 1, THEN 2
Test knob must be held at least 10 seconds in each test position
but no more than 15 seconds.
For each side separately, check that OPEN inscriptions in the
buttons are illuminated and that, ICE DET 1 (or 2) FAIL and BLD 1
(or 2) LOW TEMP caution messages and ICE CONDITION
advisory message are displayed on EICAS. The CROSS BLD
OPEN advisory message may be also displayed.

NOTE: When the Ice Detection Test Knob is selected to 1, the

CLR ICE 1, CLR ICE 2, CLR/I INOP 1 and CLR/I INOP 2
caution messages are displayed on the EICAS and the
lights CLR ICE 1 and CLR ICE 2 illuminate; when the Ice
Detection Test Knob is selected to 2, none of those caution
messages are displayed on the EICAS.
Thrust Levers .......................................................... IDLE
Ice Detection Override Knob................................... ENG

CAUTION: ICE DETECTION OVERRIDE KNOB MUST NOT BE SET

TO "ALL" ON GROUND, EXCEPT DURING TEST.

B - For flight when no actual icing conditions exist or are anticipated for
takeoff and climb, proceed:
Before engines start, perform the on ground test:
APU Bleed .......................................................... CLOSE
Engine Bleed ...................................................... CLOSE
Anti-Icing Push Buttons
(engine, wing and stabilizer).......................... ON
Ice Detection Override Knob .............................. AUTO
Ice Detection Test Knob ..................................... 1, THEN 2
Test knob must be held at least 10 seconds in each test
position.
For each side separately, check that ICE DET 1 (or 2) FAIL and
BLD 1 (or 2) LOW TEMP caution messages and ICE
CONDITION advisory message are displayed on EICAS.

NOTE: When the Ice Detection Test Knob is selected to 1, the

CLR ICE 1, CLR ICE 2, CLR/I INOP 1 and CLR/I INOP
2 caution messages are displayed on the EICAS and
the lights CLR ICE 1 and CLR ICE 2 illuminate; when
the Ice Detection Test Knob is selected to 2, none of
those caution messages are displayed on the EICAS.
During climb, perform the inflight test:
Engine Bleeds..................................................... OPEN
Thrust Lever........................................................ THRUST SET
Altitude ................................................................ FROM 2000 TO
23000 ft
TAT ..................................................................... LESS THAN
10°C
