Flight Controls
What are the primary flight controls?
Elevator, Aileron and Rudder
What is the primary source of electrical power?
Engine Driven Generators (IDG)
How many hydraulic systems are there on the CRJ-200?
3 Independent Systems
Does the APU have both fire detection and extinguishing capabilities?
Yes, to both
What is the maximum Zero Fuel Weight?
44,000 LBS
What are the secondary flight controls?
Flaps, Slats, Spoilers and Trim
Does the aircraft produce DC Electrical power?
Batteries (Aircraft and APU)
*Aircraft battery recharges in flight.
What hydraulic pump can not be deferred?
Where are the smoke detectors on the aircraft?
Lav and Cargo Compartment
What is the maximum Ramp Weight?
53,250 LBS
What motion do the primary flight controls control?
Elevator - Pitch
Aileron - Roll
Rudder - Yaw
How many generators are there on the aircraft, and what are they?
4 total - 2 engine driven generators (IDG's)
1 APU
1 ADG (RAT)
Why does the 3B pump power?
Primary Flight Controls, Landing Gear, Nose Door and Nose Wheel Steering
What are the common causes of fire hazards?
Smoking, trash, electrical appliances, storage, and heating are common to most occupancy types.
What is the maximum Takeoff Weight?
53,000 LBS
What powers the primary flight controls?
By hydraulics
What items are electrically heated?
Cockpit windshield and side windows, pitot tubes, Static Ports, TAT probe, Angle of Attack Vanes
What powers the 3B pump in a total system failure?
3B pump will be powered by the Air driven generator (ADG) when it is deployed.
It will provide hydraulic pressure to the primary flight controls, nose wheel steering, brakes and landing gear.
List the fire extinguishing systems on the aircraft and where they are located?
-2 - 1 for each engine
- 2 in the Cargo Compartment (1 immediate, 1 meted for 45 mins.)
- 1 APU
- 1 in LAV trash receptacle
What is the Maximum Landing Weight?
47,000 LBS
What items are on the engine Accessory Gear Box?
-Hydraulic Pump
-Oil Pump
-High Pressure Fuel Pump
-Starter
-IDG
How are the flaps powered?
Electrotonically by the Flap Electronic Control Unit (FECU)
How many hydraulic pumps are there per system and how are they powered?
Total of 6 - 2 pumps per system
Systems 1 & 2 have 1 engine drive pump and 1 electric pump
System 3 has 2 electric pumps
What are fire loops (rings) and how do they work?
2 parallel tubes that are located in the engine and the cargo bays. They are designed to detect high heat levels that will send an alert to the cockpit about potential fire/overheating events. 1 ring alerting may be a fluke but both rings alerting are likely a positive event that needs immediate attention by the pilots.
What is the maximum fuel capacity using pressure refueling?
14,518 LBS
