Chapter 3: Limitations
The following is a listing of the CRJ-200 and CRJ-701 limitations. PSA pilots are responsible for being aware of and
observing all limitations. Some limitations have been modified and are more restrictive than the Aircraft Flight Manual (AFM)
in order to promote commonality between the two fleet types.
These limitations must be adhered to unless otherwise directed by a QRH, MEL, or CDL procedure. All limitations apply to
the -200 and -701 unless noted otherwise by <-200> or <-701> preceding the text, chart or table. In addition, certain
limitations must be memorized. Memory items are identified by bold print. Boxes that contain memory items are identified
by a bold border. These items are of such importance that flight crews must be continuously aware of them in order to avoid
exceeding the limitation, prevent equipment damage, and ensure safety.
3.1
Introduction
The limitations included in this chapter contain items unique to the CL600, model 2B19, Bombardier CRJ-200; and the
CL600, model 2C10, Bombardier CRJ-701 airplanes. Observance of these limitations is mandatory.
The information presented in this chapter contains limitations that have been extracted from the AFM, however these
limitations are not all inclusive.
In addition, POH limitations do not represent all aircraft configurations of the CRJ, only those associated with PSA Airlines,
Inc.s aircraft.

3.3
The airplane must be loaded in accordance with the loading instructions in the Flight Operations Manual (FOM).
TAKEOFF
Pitch Trim
WARNING
Pitch trim must be set according to the aircraft's computed center of gravity.
Failure to set the pitch trim appropriate to the computed center of gravity may result in excessive rotation
rate at takeoff.
Rotation Rate
WARNING
Excessive rotation rates (exceeding 3 degrees per second) or overrotations may lead to high pitch
attitudes being attained while the aircraft is near the ground. This can reduce stall margins
significantly resulting in stick shaker / pusher activation and potentially loss of control. Pilots must
rotate smoothly towards the target pitch attitude then transition to speed control.

Full application of rudder and aileron controls, as well as maneuvers that involve angles of attack near the stall, must be
confined to speeds below VA (refer to aircraft placards).
Caution
Avoid rapid and large alternating control inputs, especially in combination with large changes in
pitch, roll, or yaw (e.g., large side slip angles) as they may cause structural failure at any speed,
including below VA.

COWL ANTI-ICE - Icing Conditions exist when the OAT (on the ground and for takeoff) or TAT (inflight) is 10C or
below, and:
Visible moisture in any form (such as clouds, fog, mist, rain, snow, sleet, or ice crystals), is present in flight, or below
400 feet AGL for ground operations, or
When operating on surfaces that are wet or contaminated.
WING ANTI-ICE - Icing conditions exist when the OAT (takeoff) is 5C or TAT (inflight) is 10C or below, and:
Visible moisture in any form (such as clouds, fog, mist, rain, snow, sleet or ice crystals) is present in flight, or below
400 feet AGL for ground operations, or
The runway is wet or contaminated.
WARNING
Do not hold in icing conditions with slats and/or flaps extended.
WARNING
Take-off is prohibited with frost, ice, snow or slush adhering to any critical surface (wings, upper
fuselage, horizontal stabilizer, vertical stabilizer, control surfaces or engine inlets).
Take-off is permitted with frost adhering to the underside of the wing (maximum 1/8 inch), which is caused by cold soaked
fuel.
WARNING
Even small amounts of frost, ice, snow or slush on the wing leading edges and upper wing surface
may adversely change the stall speeds, stall characteristics and the protection provided by the stall
protection system, which may result in loss of control on take-off.
ANTI-ICE will be used any time that icing conditions are expected prior to thrust reduction in the After Takeoff Check.
Single Engine Taxi is prohibited when ramps or taxiways are contaminated with snow, slush or ice OR during icing
conditions.
To prevent wing contamination from reverse jet blast, operating the thrust reversers during taxi operations on wet and
contaminated surfaces should be avoided.
3.6.2
Tactile Check.
In addition to a visual check, a tactile check of the wing leading edge, wing forward upper surface and wing rear upper surface
is required during the External Walkaround inspection to determine that the wing is free from frost, ice, snow or slush when:
3.6.3
Limitations
Takeoff and Landing on Contaminated Runways
Cowl Anti-Ice must be ON for all ground and flight operations when icing conditions exist except when the inflight SAT
is -40C or below, or ICE is annunciated by the ice detection system.
3.6.4
Wing Anti-Ice must be ON for takeoff and flight operations when ICE is annunciated by the ice detection system, or
when icing conditions exist and the airspeed is less than 230 KIAS except when the inflight SAT is -40C or below.
When Type III or IV anti-icing fluids have been applied, the wing anti-ice system must only be selected and confirmed ON,
if required, just prior to thrust increase for takeoff.
L or R WING A/ICE caution messages may be posted during taxi but must be verified out (i.e. WING A/ICE ON advisory
message posted) prior to take-off.
<-200 Only> Wing Anti-Ice must be ON for the final two minutes prior to takeoff during all ground operations 5C
OAT or below unless Type III or IV anti-icing fluid has been applied.
3.6.5
Continued operation in areas where supercooled large droplet (SLD) icing conditions exist is prohibited.
SLD icing conditions are indicated by ice accretion on the flight compartment side windows.

Ozone Concentration
The following data are presented in order to determine the flight altitudes and / or duration at altitude in compliance with the
cabin ozone concentration requirements as per FAR 25.832, which states that the airplane cabin ozone concentration during
flight must not exceed:
0.25 parts per million by volume, sea level equivalent, at any time above flight level 320, and
0.1 parts per million by volume, sea level equivalent, time-weighted average during any 3-hour interval above flight level
270.
Sea level equivalent refers to conditions of 25C and 760 millimeters of mercury pressure.
Cabin ozone concentration limits are dependent upon the latitude, time of year and geographic location. These tables are
separated into Eastern North America (i.e. east of 100 W) and Western North America (i.e. west of 100 W). Two checks are
required to determine the cabin ozone concentration flight profile limitation. The first check determines the maximum
allowable altitude while the second check determines the maximum flight duration at altitude. It is permitted to interpolate
linearly between months, latitudes or altitudes.

Introduction
These Normal Procedures have been developed to provide guidance for operating the Bombardier CRJ in a standardized
manner. These procedures have been compiled from various sources and consist of normal checklists, standard profiles and
standard callouts.
These Normal Procedures comply with the safety of flight issues dictated by the AFM. For this reason, compliance with the
procedures contained in this chapter is compulsory unless the situation requires modification for safety factors.
The Bombardier CRJ uses the dark cockpit philosophy. This is defined as normal flight with no EICAS messages displayed
or switchlights illuminated. Normal flight is defined as an aircraft in smooth air, utilizing normal bleed extraction, without
malfunction and clear of icing.

Checklist Usage.
All checklists performed are initiated at the command of the Captain on the ground and by the Pilot Flying (PF) in flight. The
Captain, however, still retains final authority for all actions directed or performed.
No checklist will be performed while taxiing across runways or if complex taxi instructions are issued.
When a checklist is completed, the pilot reading the checklist will state the name of the check and the word complete, i.e.,
Before Takeoff Check, Complete.
Some checklists contain a line. If the checklist contains a line, the first section is considered down to the line, and the second
section is below the line.
When the appropriate crewmember reads the checklist to the line, he will state, Down to the line. Crewmembers should not
call to the line when calling for a checklist, as it will always be read to the line until the appropriate crewmember calls for
Below the line.
At no time should a challenge be recited from memory. If a pilot incorrectly responds to a challenge, the pilot reading the
checklist will state the proper response and then wait for the corrected response before proceeding.

4.2.3
Some aircraft systems require operational verification prior to the first flight of the day (FFD). These checklist items are
indented on the Acceptance Check, After Start Check, and Shutdown Check and must be completed and read on the FFD only.
For subsequent flights on the same day, these items may be omitted.
4.2.4
When the Captain is ready to start the left/right engine after utilizing single engine taxi, delayed start procedures will be used.
The items on the Before Start and After Start Checklists that need to be read aloud are marked with a (D).
4.3
Types of Checklists
There are two types of checklists: Silent Checklists, and Challenge and Response Checklists.
4.3.1
Silent Checklist.
Silent Checklists may be preceded by a flow, and the items will be verified complete using the checklist after the flow is done.
In the absence of a flow, the designated crewmember will read the checklist item and carry out the appropriate action. A Silent
Checklist is indicated by the absence of a response designator. When a pilot completes a silent checklist, he will state aloud,
(Checklist Title) Check Complete.
The following checklists are Silent:
4.3.2
Challenge and Response Checklists may be preceded by a flow that will contain some of the checklist items. These checklists
are read aloud, and the applicable pilot shall respond to the challenge after having verified or changing the existing
configuration. Both pilots shall cross-check, whenever feasible, the validity of the response. The pilot reading the checklist
shall wait for the response before proceeding with the next item. If the actual configuration is not in accordance with the
checklist requirement, corrective action shall be initiated.
The following checklists are Challenge and Response:
4.3.3
Flow.
Flow patterns are established to configure aircraft systems or accomplish required tasks in an organized manner without
reference to a checklist. There are some flow items that are not directly backed up with a checklist reference. These items
show what is accomplished / checked in the flow box. The items that are backed up with a checklist reference show what is
accomplished / checked in the expanded section.
When accomplishing flows, pilots are expected to complete all items in order from memory. Applicable checklist (except
Safety & Power On and Securing) are initiated after the flow pattern is completed.

Reference to the Flight Mode Annunciator (FMA) as well as a thorough understanding of all armed and engagement
indications is essential to the successful operation of the autoflight system.
It is imperative to visually confirm all FMA changes. Below 3,000 ft. AGL callouts of all FMA changes are required. The
pilot making the FCP selection will make the FMA callout.

External Walkaround.
Note
The Safety and Power On checklist must be complete prior to the external walkaround.
The external walkaround is primarily a visual check to ensure that the overall condition of the airplane and its visible
components and equipment are safe for flight.
Note
All tires should be inspected for evidence of bulges, cuts, bruises, embedded foreign objects,
underinflation, excessive wear, or visible cord. The Captain will contact Maintenance Control and
have the tire inspected when any doubt exists as to its serviceability.
The word CHECK is used throughout this walkaround procedure to describe a visual examination that will detect obvious
unsatisfactory condition/discrepancies.
Start at the top of the boarding stairs, proceed in the direction indicated in the external walkaround sequence illustration, and
terminate at the bottom of the boarding stairs.
During cold weather operations, the flight crew must ensure that the fuselage, wings and tail surfaces are free from ice, snow
or frost.

Note
Primary ATC communications will normally be conducted using COM 1. COM 2 will be used for
Company, Maintenance, ATIS, etc.
Both the Captains and First Officers PFDs and the FMS will be set in the following manner so that these settings can be
reviewed and confirmed without delay prior to the Before Start Check.
1.
Both pilots will select and identify the respective appropriate navigation source. The PF must be in short range (green
needles) if the departure procedure or the engine failure procedure requires localizer tracking, VOR tracking, or DME
identification.
Note
If the waypoint or DME required turn is preloaded from the FMS database both pilots may be in
white needles.
2.
Set Flap Retraction Altitude (FRA) on the MDA bug to 1000 ft. above field elevation or as published in the Takeoff
Report, whichever is higher.

__ Reqd, __ OB
Confirm that the quantity is balanced and corresponds with the Ramp Fuel on the dispatch release. The aircraft may be
over- or under-fueled by 300 lbs. (but in no case may the aircraft be under-fueled below MIN T/O FUEL plus TAXI FUEL),
as long as it is reflected in the Weight & Balance. If this is exceeded, an update to the release must be obtained by notifying
the dispatcher via phone, radio, or ACARS (with a subsequent acknowledgement), or a new release must be obtained.
Note
The center tank fuel limitation (500 lbs. max in the center tank with <4400 lbs. in each wing tank)
ONLY applies for takeoff. Starting engines at the gate will start the fuel transfer process to correct the
imbalance.
Note
When referencing fuel quantities, pilots may omit the last 2 digits of the fuel quantity (i.e., if the ramp
fuel load is 12,386, pilots can state the required quantity as 12.3 or 12,300).

direct the First Officer to perform the engine start. Engine starts will be accomplished when cleared by ground personnel
during pushback or with the parking brake set. However, certain airports throughout our system have specific pushback
procedures that must be followed. This information may be found in the station bulletins.
The engine(s) will be started after obtaining a start signal from the marshaller.
On the FFD, the fuel check valve check must be performed prior to starting the right engine. Reference the After Start Check
(Expanded) for the procedure.
The same procedures are used for the left engine start as were used for the right engine start.

Hot Start.
During an engine start, the HOT icon (ITT gauge) appears when ITT rapidly increases at 200C per second. Should the HOT
icon appear, immediately move the thrust lever to SHUT OFF and turn the ignition off.
Continue to motor the engine until ITT decreases below 120C, respecting starter engagement time limit. If the hot start
occurs after a starter cutout (55% N2), re-engagement of the starter motor will be required.
Refer to the Limitations Chapter of this POH for engine starter limitations.
A hot start can occur without the HOT icon. Monitor ITT closely during start to avoid an over temperature (900C maximum).
Always be vigilant of the peak ITT.
In addition to the hot start abnormal, a start sequence will also be aborted for any of the following abnormalities:
No fuel flow
No IGNITION A or B Green Advisory message
No oil pressure indication by the time idle N2 RPM is achieved
If the start is aborted, the pilot starting the engine will announce that he is aborting the start and will state the reason that the
start was aborted.

Taxi.
Prior to initial taxi, when the parking brake is first released, the Captain will state, Parking Brake Released, Sterile Cockpit.
This is to reinforce the beginning of sterile cockpit procedures.
Both pilots must verify the Jeppesen airport diagram is displayed and viewable. Any changes in the expected taxi route from
the Departure Briefing will be discussed and briefed at this time. Pilots should allow time for airplane response to each thrust
change.
To begin taxi, release the brakes and smoothly increase thrust to the minimum required for the airplane to roll forward. Once
taxi has commenced, idle thrust is more than adequate for most conditions. Do not start a turn until sufficient forward speed
has been attained to allow the airplane to turn at idle thrust (nosewheel should not be turned when aircraft is static).
Thrust use during ground operation demands sound judgement and techniques. The air blast effects at relatively low thrust can
be destructive and cause injury. Be aware of aircraft behind you and likewise avoid following other airplanes too closely. Jet
blast is a major cause of foreign object damage (FOD).
The tendency is to taxi faster than desired, especially during runway turnoff after landing. The appropriate taxi speed will
depend on turn radius and surface condition. Nosewheel scrubbing indicates excessive steering angle and/or excessive taxi
speed for surface condition. The normal straight-ahead taxi speed should not exceed 20 knots. When approaching a turn,
adjust speed for the surface condition.
At some taxi speeds, usually between 10 and 20 knots, an increase in airplane vibration can occur. If this occurs, a slight
increase or decrease in speed will reduce or eliminate the vibration, increasing passenger comfort.
Do not be diverted from the primary task of safely taxiing the airplane. The flight crew should avoid all unnecessary activity
and duties (including paperwork) that can be accomplished at another time.
No FMS entries will be performed while taxiing across runways, or if complex taxi instructions are issued.
Taxi Lights
RECOG/TAXI lights are used to taxi (day and night) and care should be exercised they do not distract other taxiing aircrew
and/or ground personnel. RECOG/TAXI lights are normally selected ON when the taxi commences and OFF if the aircraft is
stationary. The RECOG/TAXI lights must be selected off if the aircraft is stationary for more than 10 minutes (RECOG/TAXI
light stationary limitation).

Climb.
Initial Climb Speed Determination.
If considerable maneuvering is necessary during the departure, a flaps-up maneuvering speed (flaps 0 speed + 10 knots
minimum) is required until the maneuvering phase is complete, and the airplane is enroute towards the destination. This will
ensure 30-degree bank stall protection plus a 15-degree overbank.
If there are no altitude or airspeed restrictions, accelerate to the desired climb speed schedule.
The speed schedule that follows presents the recommended climb speeds to be flown once above 3,000 feet AGL.
3,000 AGL to 10,000
10,000 and above
250 KIAS
The KIAS/Mach speed listed on the flight release or the cost index
speed listed on the TLR or from the onboard ACARS system. (i.e.
290/.74 or CI001)
Climb at KIAS until it is equivalent to the desired climb Mach number, then transition to a Mach climb.
Recommended minimum climb airspeed below FL250 is 250 KIAS. Above FL250 consult the LOW AND HIGH SPEED
BUFFET BOUNDARIES charts in the SPEEDBOOK for minimum safe airspeeds.
Climbing Through 10,000 ft.
All non-essential external lights and the PED signs are turned off climbing through 10,000 feet. Turning off the PED signs is
the Flight Attendants indication that it is safe for him to stand and that sterile cockpit procedures no longer apply.
FMS Entries (In flight).
Normally the PF will request that the PM make the FMS entries in flight. Under low workload conditions, with the autopilot
ON, the PF may make FMS entries.
In order to maximize crew coordination and awareness, pilots are reminded to operate the FMS in a manner that guarantees
that one pilot is always alert to flight path control and traffic awareness. When the PF or PM edits the FMS, they must confirm
the accuracy of the modification before executing the change.
In order to maximize crew alertness and situational awareness, FMS editing should be kept to a minimum during the approach
phase.
Cruise.
The speed schedule that follows presents the recommended cruise speeds to be flown.
Cruise
The KIAS/Mach speed listed on the flight release or the cost index
speed listed on the TLR or from the onboard ACARS system. (i.e.
290/.74 or CI001)
Cruise at the KIAS or Mach, whichever is less.
If ATC requests cruise speed other than 290/.74, reset Target Speed on VNAV CRUISE page to actual speed. When flying at
an altitude other than the filed cruise altitude, reset the Cruise Altitude on PERF INIT page.
Above FL250 consult the LOW AND HIGH SPEED BUFFET BOUNDARIES charts in the SPEEDBOOK for minimum safe
airspeeds.

Descent Planning.
Good descent planning is necessary to arrive at the desired altitude at the correct speed and configuration while burning the
least amount of fuel. Typically, the distance used for a fuel efficient descent is 3 miles per 1,000 ft. of altitude. Starting your
descent later and using greater rates of descent is usually more fuel efficient, but passenger comfort and other factors must be
taken into consideration.
To determine your Top of Descent (TOD) point, multiply your altitude to lose (dropping the last 3 digits) by 3. Up to an
additional 5 miles may be needed to allow for the distance covered during a smooth entry into and exit from the descent. To
determine a rate of descent that will maintain a 3:1 ratio for the current flight conditions, divide your groundspeed by 2 and
then add an additional 0.
Example Descent Planning:
You are in cruise flight at 25,000 feet, 60 miles from MINGG intersection, at a groundspeed of 420 knots. ATC assigns
MINGG at 15,000 feet.
TOD = Altitude to Lose X 3 = 10(000) X 3 = 30
30 + 5 (for the transition distance) = 35
TOD = 35 miles from MINGG
Descent rate = Groundspeed 2 + 0
= 420 2 = 210 + 0 = 2100
Descent rate = 2100 fpm
If icing conditions are anticipated this may affect your ability to maintain a 3:1 descent. For a typical cruise altitude, 2 miles
for each 1,000 feet of anti-ice use may need to be added to the TOD point.
Descents will normally be initiated no earlier than the calculated or FMS generated TOD point. When using the FMS, a
minimum VPA (vertical path angle) of 3.0 should be used. If necessary to initiate a descent prior to the TOD point, descend at
a minimal rate (1000-1,500 fpm is usually acceptable to ATC) until leveling at the intermediate altitude or reaching the TOD
point. Once the TOD point is reached, resume the descent at the calculated optimal descent rate.
Arrival descents should normally be planned to arrive at 10,000 ft., 30 miles from the airport at a speed of 250 KIAS.
4a-58
9 MAY 11
Arrival Planning.
The crew should maintain an awareness of the destination weather and traffic situation and consider the requirements for a
potential diversion. The approach briefing should be completed as soon as practical, preferably before arriving at the TOD
point, so the crew may give full attention to airplane control.
As soon as practical, the crew will accomplish the following:
ATIS
Notify Flight Attendant
Notify Operations
Set V2GA, VT
Note
To ensure positive aircraft control, the PF will either ask the PM to monitor the autopilot or transfer
aircraft control while the approach is being briefed. Do not transfer flight director.
Program FMS
Select STAR and approach and their respective transitions. Make any sequencing amendments necessary on the
LEGS page.
Insert VREF as a speed constraint on the LEGS page abeam the runway or MAP, dependent on the approach flown
With PF concurrence, execute the FMS modification (if appropriate)
Note
It is mandatory that both pilots verify all FMS lateral and vertical program information against the
current published procedures.
As a general rule, any time the NAV data is selected to FMS (white needles) the respective radio should
be in AUT (autotune).
Caution
If a discrepancy exists between the FMS and the published procedure, the published procedure must
be used. If time permits, modify the FMS data to conform to the published information. RNAV/GPS
approaches have restrictions based upon waypoints and ATD (Along Track Distance). Please see
FOM 5.10.16 for more details.
Stabilized Approach.
Approaches must be stabilized by 1000 AFE in IMC and VMC. A go-around must be initiated if any of the following
parameters are not met below the above altitudes:
Transitioning to 1000 fpm descent rate by 1000 ft. AFE (IMC or VMC)
On proper flightpath (visual or electronic) with only small changes in pitch and heading required to maintain that path
At a speed no less than VREF and not greater than VREF + 10 knots allowing for transitory conditions, with engines

Complete
Comprehensive planning and a thorough briefing are key ingredients to a safe and professional approach. If the planned
approach runway is serviced by a Precision Approach, the instrument approach must be set up and briefed regardless of
weather conditions. If the planned approach runway is not serviced by a Precision Approach and IMC will not be encountered
during the approach, the Visual Approach from the FMS Database will be utilized and briefed.
The PFs instrument approach briefing must include these items:
1.
Identify the approach to be flown including Jeppesen page number (i.e. ILS 14R ORD page 21-6)

Introduction
These Normal Procedures have been developed to provide guidance for operating the Bombardier CRJ in a standardized
manner. These procedures have been compiled from various sources and consist of normal checklists, standard profiles and
standard callouts.
These Normal Procedures comply with the safety of flight issues dictated by the AFM. For this reason, compliance with the
procedures contained in this chapter is compulsory unless the situation requires modification for safety factors.
The Bombardier CRJ uses the dark cockpit philosophy. This is defined as normal flight with no EICAS messages displayed
or switchlights illuminated. Normal flight is defined as an aircraft in smooth air, utilizing normal bleed extraction, without
malfunction and clear of icing.

Pilot Monitoring
Checklist Usage.
All checklists performed are initiated at the command of the Captain on the ground and by the Pilot Flying (PF) in flight. The
Captain, however, still retains final authority for all actions directed or performed.
No checklist will be performed while taxiing across runways or if complex taxi instructions are issued.
When a checklist is completed, the pilot reading the checklist will state the name of the check and the word complete, i.e.,
Before Takeoff Check, Complete.
Some checklists contain a line. If the checklist contains a line, the first section is considered down to the line, and the second
section is below the line.
When the appropriate crewmember reads the checklist to the line, he will state, Down to the line. Crewmembers should not
call to the line when calling for a checklist, as it will always be read to the line until the appropriate crewmember calls for
Below the line.
At no time should a challenge be recited from memory. If a pilot incorrectly responds to a challenge, the pilot reading the
checklist will state the proper response and then wait for the corrected response before proceeding.

4.2.3
Some aircraft systems require operational verification prior to the first flight of the day (FFD). These checklist items are
indented on the Acceptance Check, After Start Check, and Shutdown Check and must be completed and read on the FFD only.
For subsequent flights on the same day, these items may be omitted.
4.2.4
When the Captain is ready to start the left/right engine after utilizing single engine taxi, delayed start procedures will be used.
The items on the Before Start and After Start Checklists that need to be read aloud are marked with a (D).
4.3
Types of Checklists
There are two types of checklists: Silent Checklists, and Challenge and Response Checklists.
4.3.1
Silent Checklist.
Silent Checklists may be preceded by a flow, and the items will be verified complete using the checklist after the flow is done.
In the absence of a flow, the designated crewmember will read the checklist item and carry out the appropriate action. A Silent
Checklist is indicated by the absence of a response designator. When a pilot completes a silent checklist, he will state aloud,
(Checklist Title) Check Complete.
The following checklists are Silent:
4.3.2
Challenge and Response Checklists may be preceded by a flow that will contain some of the checklist items. These checklists
are read aloud, and the applicable pilot shall respond to the challenge after having verified or changing the existing
configuration. Both pilots shall cross-check, whenever feasible, the validity of the response. The pilot reading the checklist
shall wait for the response before proceeding with the next item. If the actual configuration is not in accordance with the
checklist requirement, corrective action shall be initiated.
The following checklists are Challenge and Response:
4.3.3
Flow.
Flow patterns are established to configure aircraft systems or accomplish required tasks in an organized manner without
reference to a checklist. There are some flow items that are not directly backed up with a checklist reference. These items
show what is accomplished / checked in the flow box. The items that are backed up with a checklist reference show what is
accomplished / checked in the expanded section.
When accomplishing flows, pilots are expected to complete all items in order from memory. Applicable checklist (except
Safety & Power On and Securing) are initiated after the flow pattern is completed.

Reference to the Flight Mode Annunciator (FMA) as well as a thorough understanding of all armed and engagement
indications is essential to the successful operation of the autoflight system.
It is imperative to visually confirm all FMA changes. Below 3,000 ft. AGL callouts of all FMA changes are required. The
pilot making the FCP selection will make the FMA callout.

Pushback Procedures.
Pushback will not commence prior to the completion of the Before Start Check. For pushback procedures, refer to the FOM.
Engine Start Procedures.
The Captain will perform the engine start with the parking brake set. If the aircraft parking brake is not set, the Captain will
direct the First Officer to perform the engine start. Engine starts will be accomplished when cleared by ground personnel
during pushback or with the parking brake set. However, certain airports throughout our system have specific pushback
procedures that must be followed. This information may be found in the station bulletins.
The engine(s) will be started after obtaining a start signal from the marshaller.
On the FFD, the fuel check valve check must be performed prior to starting the right engine. Reference the After Start Check

Hot Start.
During an engine start, the HOT icon (ITT gauge) appears when the FADEC system detects ITT greater than 815C. Should
the HOT icon appear, immediately move the thrust lever to SHUT OFF.
Note
On the ground, the FADEC will automatically terminate an engine start (fuel and ignition removed)
upon recognition of a HOT or HUNG start condition.
Continue to motor the engine until the ITT decreases below 120C respecting starter engagement time limit. If the hot start
procedure is begun after a starter cutout (50% N2), re-engagement of the starter motor will be required.
Caution
Starter re-engagement is prohibited above 45% N2.
Refer to the Limitations Chapter of this POH for engine starter limitations.
A hot start can occur without the HOT icon. Monitor ITT closely during start to avoid an over temperature. Always be vigilant
of the peak ITT.
In addition to the hot start abnormal, a start sequence will also be aborted for any of the following abnormalities:
If the start is aborted, the pilot starting the engine will announce that he is aborting the start and will state the reason that the
start was aborted.
The following actions will be accomplished immediately before referencing the QRH:
1. Affected engine, thrust lever ....................................................................................................................................SHUTOFF
2. Dry motor .............................................................................................................................................................. As Required
Starter Fails to Cutout.
It is imperative that starter cutout be observed at 50% N2. The NO STARTER CUTOUT Amber Caution message appears if
the starter does not cutout. The resultant high speed of the starter turbine could cause mechanical damage.
Pressing the applicable ENG STOP switchlight should be all that is required to close the start valve and stop airflow to the air
turbine starter (ATS).
On the ground, should the ENG STOP action not resolve the problem, you must shutdown the engine and turn off the air source
(APU, external air or other engine bleed).
Caution
During an engine start using external air, coordination with ground personnel will be required to shut
off the external air source during a NO STARTER CUTOUT Amber Caution message condition.

Taxi.
Prior to initial taxi, when the parking brake is first released, the Captain will state, "Parking Brake Released, Sterile Cockpit."
This is to reinforce the beginning of sterile cockpit procedures.
Both pilots must verify the Jeppesen airport diagram is displayed and viewable. Any changes in the expected taxi route from
the Departure Briefing will be discussed and briefed at this time. Pilots should allow time for airplane response to each thrust
change.
To begin taxi, release the brakes and smoothly increase thrust to the minimum required for the airplane to roll forward. Once
taxi has commenced, idle thrust is more than adequate for most conditions. Do not start a turn until sufficient forward speed
has been attained to allow the airplane to turn at idle thrust (nosewheel should not be turned when aircraft is static).
Thrust use during ground operation demands sound judgement and techniques. The air blast effects at relatively low thrust can
be destructive and cause injury. Be aware of aircraft behind you and likewise avoid following other airplanes too closely. Jet
blast is a major cause of foreign object damage (FOD).
The tendency is to taxi faster than desired, especially during runway turnoff after landing. The appropriate taxi speed will
depend on turn radius and surface condition. Nosewheel scrubbing indicates excessive steering angle and/or excessive taxi
speed for surface condition. The normal straight-ahead taxi speed should not exceed 20 knots. When approaching a turn,
adjust speed for the surface condition.
At some taxi speeds, usually between 10 and 20 knots, an increase in airplane vibration can occur. If this occurs, a slight
increase or decrease in speed will reduce or eliminate the vibration, increasing passenger comfort.
Do not be diverted from the primary task of safely taxiing the airplane. The flight crew should avoid all unnecessary activity
and duties (including paperwork) that can be accomplished at another time.
No FMS entries will be performed while taxiing across runways, or if complex taxi instructions are issued.
Taxi Lights
RECOG/TAXI lights are used to taxi (day and night) and care should be exercised they do not distract other taxiing aircrew
and/or ground personnel. RECOG/TAXI lights are normally selected ON when the taxi commences and OFF if the aircraft is
stationary. The RECOG/TAXI lights must be selected off if the aircraft is stationary for more than 10 minutes (RECOG/TAXI
light stationary limitation).

Initial Climb Speed Determination.
If considerable maneuvering is necessary during the departure, a flaps-up maneuvering speed (flaps 0 speed + 10 knots
minimum) is required until the maneuvering phase is complete, and the airplane is enroute towards the destination. This will
ensure 30-degree bank stall protection plus a 15-degree overbank.
If there are no altitude or airspeed restrictions, accelerate to the desired climb speed schedule.
The speed schedule that follows presents the recommended climb speeds to be flown once above 3,000 feet AGL.
3,000 AGL to 10,000

250 KIAS
The KIAS/Mach speed listed on the flight release or the cost index
speed listed on the TLR or from the onboard ACARS system. (i.e.
290/.74 or CI001)
Climb at KIAS until it is equivalent to the desired climb Mach number, then transition to a Mach climb.
Recommended minimum climb airspeed below FL250 is 250 KIAS. Above FL250 consult the LOW AND HIGH SPEED
BUFFET BOUNDARIES charts in the SPEEDBOOK for minimum safe airspeeds.
Climbing Through 10,000 ft.
All non-essential external lights and the PED signs are turned off climbing through 10,000 feet. Turning off the PED signs is
the Flight Attendants indication that it is safe for him to stand and that sterile cockpit procedures no longer apply.
FMS Entries (In flight).
Normally the PF will request that the PM make the FMS entries in flight. Under low workload conditions, with the autopilot
ON, the PF may make FMS entries.
In order to maximize crew coordination and awareness, pilots are reminded to operate the FMS in a manner that guarantees
that one pilot is always alert to flight path control and traffic awareness. When the PF or PM edits the FMS, they must confirm
the accuracy of the modification before executing the change.
In order to maximize crew alertness and situational awareness, FMS editing should be kept to a minimum during the approach
phase.
Cruise.
The speed schedule that follows presents the recommended cruise speeds to be flown.

If ATC requests cruise speed other than 290/.74, reset Target Speed on VNAV CRUISE page to actual speed. When flying at
an altitude other than the filed cruise altitude, reset the Cruise Altitude on PERF INIT page.
Above FL250 consult the LOW AND HIGH SPEED BUFFET BOUNDARIES charts in the SPEEDBOOK for minimum safe

Descent Planning.
Good descent planning is necessary to arrive at the desired altitude at the correct speed and configuration while burning the
least amount of fuel. Typically, the distance used for a fuel efficient descent is 3 miles per 1,000 ft. of altitude. Starting your
descent later and using greater rates of descent is usually more fuel efficient, but passenger comfort and other factors must be
taken into consideration.
To determine your Top of Descent (TOD) point, multiply your altitude to lose (dropping the last 3 digits) by 3. Up to an
additional 5 miles may be needed to allow for the distance covered during a smooth entry into and exit from the descent. To
determine a rate of descent that will maintain a 3:1 ratio for the current flight conditions, divide your groundspeed by 2 and
then add an additional 0.
Example Descent Planning:
You are in cruise flight at 25,000 feet, 60 miles from MINGG intersection, at a groundspeed of 420 knots. ATC assigns
MINGG at 15,000 feet.
TOD = Altitude to Lose X 3 = 10(000) X 3 = 30
30 + 5 (for the transition distance) = 35
TOD = 35 miles from MINGG
Descent rate = Groundspeed 2 + 0
= 420 2 = 210 + 0 = 2100
Descent rate = 2100 fpm
If icing conditions are anticipated this may affect your ability to maintain a 3:1 descent. For a typical cruise altitude, 2 miles
for each 1,000 feet of anti-ice use may need to be added to the TOD point.
Descents will normally be initiated no earlier than the calculated or FMS generated TOD point. When using the FMS, a
minimum VPA (vertical path angle) of 3.0 should be used. If necessary to initiate a descent prior to the TOD point, descend at
a minimal rate (1000-1,500 fpm is usually acceptable to ATC) until leveling at the intermediate altitude or reaching the TOD
point. Once the TOD point is reached, resume the descent at the calculated optimal descent rate.
Arrival descents should normally be planned to arrive at 10,000 ft., 30 miles from the airport at a speed of 250 KIAS.
4b-50
9 MAY 11
Arrival Planning.
The crew should maintain an awareness of the destination weather and traffic situation and consider the requirements for a
potential diversion. The approach briefing should be completed as soon as practical, preferably before arriving at the TOD
point, so the crew may give full attention to airplane control.
As soon as practical, the crew will accomplish the following:
ATIS
Notify Flight Attendant
Notify Operations
Set V2GA, VT
Note
To ensure positive aircraft control, the PF will either ask the PM to monitor the autopilot or transfer
aircraft control while the approach is being briefed. Do not transfer flight director.
Program FMS
Select STAR and approach and their respective transitions. Make any sequencing amendments necessary on the
LEGS page.
Insert VREF as a speed constraint on the LEGS page abeam the runway or MAP, dependent on the approach flown
With PF concurrence, execute the FMS modification (if appropriate)
Note
It is mandatory that both pilots verify all FMS lateral and vertical program information against the
current published procedures.
As a general rule, any time the NAV data is selected to FMS (white needles) the respective radio should
be in AUT (autotune).
Caution
If a discrepancy exists between the FMS and the published procedure, the published procedure must
be used. If time permits, modify the FMS data to conform to the published information. RNAV/GPS
approaches have restrictions based upon waypoints and ATD (Along Track Distance). Please see
FOM 5.10.16 for more details.
Stabilized Approach.
Approaches must be stabilized by 1000 AFE in IMC and VMC. A go-around must be initiated if any of the following
parameters are not met below the above altitudes:
Transitioning to 1000 fpm descent rate by 1000 ft. AFE (IMC or VMC)
On proper flightpath (visual or electronic) with only small changes in pitch and heading required to maintain that path

landing weight on the ARP, and verify they are set on the PFDs.
Approach Briefing
PF
Complete
Comprehensive planning and a thorough briefing are key ingredients to a safe and professional approach. If the planned
approach runway is serviced by a Precision Approach, the instrument approach must be set up and briefed regardless of
weather conditions. If the planned approach runway is not serviced by a Precision Approach and IMC will not be encountered
during the approach, the Visual Approach from the FMS Database will be utilized and briefed.
The PFs instrument approach briefing must include these items:
1.
Identify the approach to be flown including Jeppesen page number (i.e. ILS 14R ORD page 21-6)
2.
3.
4.
5.
The Crossing Altitude on a Precision Approach or the minimum altitude at the FAF, as well as other expected step down
fixes, on a Non-Precision Approach and how the fix will be identified

With an inoperative APU or APU load control valve, external air will be required for engine starts. Single engine turn
procedures will only be used in the unlikely event that external air is not available. Upon reaching the destination airport gate,
do NOT shut down the right engine prior to reviewing the 'single engine turn procedures.' This process must be coordinated
with maintenance control and one pilot must remain in the flight deck. There must be enough ramp agents at the aircraft to
ensure that passengers are not allowed aft of the main entry door or past the nose of the aircraft.
If operations advises upon in-range call that external air will not be available for engine start, the crew must notify them of the
following:
An engine will be running at all times during the turn process;
Aircraft must be parked in an area where it is safe for an engine to remain running at all times AND a cross bleed start can
be performed. (i.e. not too close to terminal building, parked equipment etc.);
Station personnel must advise refueling personnel not to hook-up or begin fueling process until after plane is completely
unloaded and right engine is shut down.
The process will be accomplished as follows:
1. Upon reaching the gate DO NOT immediately shut down right engine. Leave the right engine running until all passengers
and bags have been unloaded.
Note
If a quick turn is desired and the station is prepared to board the outgoing flight, passengers and bags
may be loaded. This will eliminate the need for the last crossbleed start.
2. After confirming the left side of the plane is clear of all passengers, bags and ground personnel, start left engine via Engine
start (cross-bleed) in POH Chapter 5.
3. Upon completion of step 2, right engine may be shut down to accomplish fueling process.
4. After fueling is complete, re-start right engine via Engine start (crossbleed) in POH Chapter 5 and shut down left engine.
5. Once left engine is secure, notify station personnel they may begin loading of passengers and baggage for departure with
right engine operating for bleed air and electrical power.

RNAV OPERATIONS
5.10.1 Required Equipment. To file for and fly Q routes and Type 1 and 2 procedures, the following equipment is
required:
Type 1 procedures GPS and flight director. Pilots must use the flight director if hand flying, or engage the autopilot.
Type 2 procedures GPS or dual DME receivers. Pilots are encouraged to use the flight director and autopilot.
Q routes GPS.
5.10.2 Inoperative Equipment. Should the FMS, GPS, or flight director be inop/deferred, pilots must ensure that
no route or procedure requiring their operation be filed or flown. If the FMS, for whatever reason, is not using GPS position
data as part of its own position calculations, a GPS NOT AVAILABLE message will be displayed in the FMS CDU. This
message can be either white or yellow for different phases of flight, but in either case pilots must advise ATC and request an
amended clearance as necessary. Currently PSA aircraft use the equipment suffix Q when filing flight plans. Any loss of GPS
capability will result in changes to both the equipment suffix and routing filed by dispatch on subsequent flights.

5.10.3 Altitude Restrictions. If an RNAV DP contains altitude restrictions, the Ops Spec requires that the flight
crew be able to determine if altitude restrictions can be satisfied given the ambient conditions at the time of departure. The
method of compliance is listed below, and is only required when flying DPs containing altitude restrictions.
Determine ISA deviation for takeoff using the following chart:

5.10.4 RNP. Each Type 2 procedure will specify the RNP to be used. Prior to beginning the procedure, enter the required
RNP value on PROG page 2. Once the aircraft has completed the procedure, go to PROG page 2 and replace the RNP value
with 1.0 for enroute GPS coverage.
5.10.5 Waypoints. Some RNAV procedures contain flyover waypoints. As the name implies, pilots must fly over
these waypoints before turning versus allowing the aircraft to lead the turn past the waypoint. This is accomplished by adding
/0 (slash zero) to a waypoint name in the FMS. The map will show the waypoint with an arrow after it pointing to the
subsequent route reflecting that the point will be flown over before a turn on course is initiated. If a flyover is no longer
necessary, pilots must delete and re-enter the waypoint (minus the /0 suffix) and execute the route change.

Fuel balance awareness is critical when powered crossflow in not available to balance fuel. It is important that crews know
how to maintain a balanced fuel system, know how to correct a fuel imbalance, and how to apply the QRH Fuel Imbalance
procedure properly.
To maintain fuel balance:
Note
With the powered XFLOW system inoperative, APU operation will be sustained through fuel feed
from the right hand engine. With the left hand engine operating APU may fluctuate or flame out.
To correct a fuel imbalance:
If a fuel imbalance of 200 lbs. or greater exists, the FSC automatically initiates fuel crossflow between wing tanks. Use
manual XFLOW or Gravity XFLOW, as necessary, when auto system is inoperative.
Fuel should be balanced manually anytime the fuel imbalance is 200 lbs. or greater and the Auto X/FLOW system is
inoperative
When the powered crossflow (auto/manual) system is inoperative, the flight crew can select the GRAVITY XFLOW
switchlight on the Fuel Control Panel. This will open the gravity X/FLOW shutoff valve to allow fuel transfer, by gravity,
between wing tanks.
Note
When performing fuel balance using gravity X/FLOW system the transfer is not immediate and the
rate of transfer can vary. Gravity X/FLOW can be enhanced by using a steady heading side-slip
maneuver. A steady heading side-slip maneuver is recommended to provide a positive fuel flow to the
low fuel tank.
To correctly accomplish the steady heading side-slip maneuver during flight:
GRAVITY X/ FLOW SWITCHLIGHT...................................................................................................................PRESS IN
Check the following:
Note
This will position the SLIP/SKID indicator brick towards the low fuel tank side.
Caution
Steady heading side-slip maneuvers should NOT exceed one half brick of uncoordinated flight, and
should NOT be attempted when flaps are extended, when in icing conditions or above FL 250.

AFTER ONE MINUTE:
RUDDER PRESSURE.............................................................................................................................................RELEASE
AFTER 30 SECONDS:
FUEL QUANTITY/BALANCE ........................................................................................................................... RE-CHECK
REPEAT AS NECESSARY TO BALANCE FUEL
When fuel is balanced:
GRAVITY FLOW SWITCHLIGHT ................................................................................................................... PRESS OUT
Check the following:
Fuel transfer rates may vary when using the steady heading side-slip maneuver. It is recommended to recheck fuel quantity
and balance after one minute of gravity crossflow in uncoordinated flight. To check quantity and balance maintain level
coordinated flight for 30 seconds. Repeat procedure as needed to balance fuel.
QRH Fuel Imbalance procedure:
The QRH procedure will be completed any time a FUEL IMBALANCE Amber Caution message appears on the EICAS. The
following information is supplemental to the QRH Fuel Imbalance procedure and only attempts to provide a better
understanding of the procedure.
For steady heading side slip maneuvers, see the supplemental procedure above
Do not attempt to balance fuel with the use of asymmetrical thrust unless the gravity cross flow method is deemed
ineffective
Caution
The decision to shutdown an engine due to a fuel imbalance situation should be carefully considered.
Lateral controllability problems may occur, but at fuel imbalance levels greater than the 800 lb. fuel
balance limitation. Pilots must weigh all factors when deciding to continue to the closest available
airport with a fuel imbalance or with an engine shutdown. Idle thrust on the low tank side should be
sufficient to correct a fuel imbalance in the event all other methods of fuel crossflow fail.

When the EFIS COMP MON Amber Caution message is displayed in conjunction with the HDG comparator flag(s) during
ground operations, magnetic interference with the wing mounted AHRS flux valves from proximate ground equipment or
localized magnetic field anomalies may be responsible. In most cases, as the aircraft taxis away from the gate area and
associated ground equipment the Caution message disappears. If the message persists, apply the following procedure:
Caution
At any time during this procedure, if the crew is certain that the aircraft has been removed from all
sources of magnetic anomalies and the discrepancies still persist, a system failure has occurred. Do
not takeoff. Contact Maintenance and enter discrepancy in aircraft logbook.
Once clear of the gate area:
EFIS and standby instruments .......................................................................................................... Cross check to determine
which AHRS has been affected.
Affected AHRS.......................................................................................................Slew to standby compass heading (MAG)
Verify EFIS COMP MON
Amber Caution message is no longer displayed.
Note
It may be necessary to perform this procedure for both of the AHRS as the anomalies may have
affected both systems, although to different degrees.
If the EFIS COMP MON Amber Caution message/significant different between AHRS heading and standby compass
heading reoccurs or if departing from specific runways where known local magnetic fields or magnetic anomalies cause EFIS
COMP MON Amber Caution message and the HDG comparator flag(s) to appear, the following procedure may be used
within 10 minutes of departure:
PFD1 and PFD2........................................................................................................... Cross check displayed heading(s) with
the standby compass. Switch the affected
AHRS compass switch(es) to DG mode
and slew to standby compass heading.
Verify EFIS COMP MON Amber Caution
message is not displayed.
On the runway ............................................................................................................ Cross check PFD1 and PFD2 displayed
heading(s) with known runway heading
and re-slew as required. Verify no
EFIS COMP MON Amber Caution
message is displayed.
After takeoff, when established in straight and level flight at a constant airspeed:
COMPASS switch(es) ................................................................................................................. MAG mode (one at a time if
both in DG mode). Verify that
neither the EFIS COMP MON Amber Caution
message or HDG comparator flag(s)
are displayed.

Crew Coordination
General.
Well-executed procedures are the best defense against emergency or abnormal conditions when they arise. While the Quick
Reference Handbook (QRH) establishes a foundation for these procedures, this section incorporates additional operational
details necessary to insure a standardized crewmember response.
Emergency and abnormal situations are rare occurrences. Unlike normal procedures, there are few opportunities to practice
emergencies during the daily flight routine. The strategies outlined in this section should be reviewed regularly to insure a safe
outcome should an emergency or abnormal situation arise.
The basic rules stated below can be applied to the majority of emergency or abnormal conditions:
1. PF Maintains Aircraft Control
2. Identify the Non-normal
Either pilot can state the malfunction or problem
Either pilot cancels the warning
3. Accomplish Immediate Action Items
4. Captain Assigns PF duties
5. Complete QRH Procedures
6. Establish and Communicate a Plan
Maintain Aircraft Control.
This duty is assigned to the PF as a primary duty regardless of the type of condition. Depending on the nature of the condition,
the autopilot should be used to ease pilot workload. If the autopilot is utilized, the PF is always responsible for monitoring its
functions.
Identify and Communicate the Non-normal Condition.
Effective teamwork in the cockpit begins with good communication skills. Ensure that your fellow crewmembers are aware of
the problem. A non-normal condition should be announced clearly and concisely by the first pilot that recognizes the
condition. The initial announcement should be confirmed aloud by the other pilot so that each crewmember has acknowledged
the condition.
Crewmembers should silence any aural or visual warning as soon as the cause of the warning is recognized.
Accomplish Immediate Action Items.
In all cases when airborne, the following shall be confirmed by the PF before the PM takes action:
Thrust levers
Engine fire push switchlights
Generator switches
Fuel boost pump switchlights
All other guarded switchlights
The PF will repeat the response for these items when an action is to be performed.
The PM will read aloud and either verify or perform all immediate action items, this includes both memory and non-memory
items. The PM will then state: Immediate action items complete.

Passenger Evacuation
A passenger evacuation is initiated for a condition potentially endangering the life or physical well-being of passengers or
crew.
PASSENGER EVACUATION (CHALLENGE, RESPONSE, RESPONSE)
Once the Captain gives the evacuation command, the First Officer will open the QRH to the first page (Passenger Evacuation)
and read the checklist to the Captain who performs each item. In this checklist, the First Officer will read the challenge and the
response, and the Captain will respond to each item by repeating the appropriate response AFTER the item is completed.

Immediate action items must be done in an expeditious manner. The CRJ-200 and CRJ-701 have 5 (ea) immediate action
items.
Note
All immediate action items are not considered complete until verified via the IMMEDIATE
ACTIONS tab in the QRH.
The following immediate action items have steps which must be accomplished from memory. This will be indicated by bold
print in the POH and red print in the QRH:

2. CABIN ALT Msg or EMERGENCY DESCENT PROCEDURE
3. DOUBLE-ENGINE FAILURE
4. SMOKE/FUMES
5. <200> STAB TRIM RUNAWAY

Upon completion of the memory item(s), the PM will reference the IMMEDIATE ACTIONS tab in the QRH. The PM will
read aloud and either verify or perform all immediate action items, memory and non-memory. The PM will then state:
Immediate action items complete.
6.3.1
BRAKING LOSS/ASYMMETRY
Upon completion of this procedure the aircraft will be brought to a complete stop and the parking brake should be set. The
First Officer will then reference the QRH and read the immediate action items and verify that they are complete.

The CABIN ALT or emergency descent maneuver is designed to descend the airplane smoothly to a safe cabin altitude in the
minimum amount of time with the least possible passenger discomfort.
If the descent is performed because of a rapid loss of cabin pressure, oxygen masks are donned and crew communication is
established at the first indication of a pressurization problem.
The autopilot should remain engaged to accomplish the descent. Although a turn is not required when initiating an emergency
descent, it may be performed using heading mode.
Note
If cabin pressure is verified to be uncontrollable (no P) and the airplane structural integrity is in
doubt, it is preferable to maintain at or below the speed at which the malfunction occurred and avoid
high maneuvering loads.
The Captain, unless incapacitated, will perform the PF duties during a CABIN ALT or emergency descent. If the First Officer
is the PF, the Captain will assume PF duties after O2 masks are donned and crew communication is established. The PM will
read the immediate action items via the QRH. The PF will perform the immediate action items when directed via the QRH.
The PM will check the minimum en route altitude, notify ATC and obtain the local altimeter setting. Level-off altitude should
be chosen based upon the passenger oxygen system capacity or the lowest safe altitude, whichever is higher. The lowest safe
altitude is the minimum en route altitude (MEA), minimum obstruction clearance altitude (MOCA), or any other altitude based
on terrain clearance, navigation aid reception or other appropriate criteria.
6-6
12 FEB 10
When turbulent air is encountered or expected, the airspeed should be reduced to the maximum turbulent air penetration speed
(280 KIAS or .75 MACH, whichever is lower).
If descending into icing conditions, cowl and wing anti-ice are used as required.
Once reaching level-off altitude, the pressurization system should be rechecked and the situation reevaluated. When removing
oxygen masks, the Captain will direct the First Officer to remove his own mask first, transfer aircraft control, then remove his
own mask. Establish communication with the Flight Attendant for passenger/cabin status.
6.3.3
DOUBLE-ENGINE FAILURE
The Captain, unless incapacitated, will perform the PF duties during a double engine failure. This is because the First Officer's
PFD and MFD are inoperative. If the First Officer is the PF, the Captain will assume PF duties after Continuous Ignition is
selected ON. The PM will read and perform the immediate action items via the QRH.

Rejected Takeoff.
Either crewmember has the authority to call for a rejected takeoff by stating: REJECT.
If the takeoff is rejected with both engines operating, the Captain will retard the thrust levers to reverse while using maximum
braking. If the takeoff is rejected due to a power failure of either engine, extreme caution must be exercised in the use of
reverse thrust on the operating engine due to the yawing tendency which will be created. Maximum braking will be necessary.
PSA Airlines recommends an RTO for any malfunction below 80 knots. Above 80 knots, an RTO is recommended for items
such as:
Engine failure
Fire warning
Aircraft is considered unsafe or unable to fly
Loss of directional control
As the aircraft accelerates towards V1, the decision-making process shifts in favor of the Go decision. As airspeed
approaches V1, the stopping margin decreases until after V1 when it may not be possible to stop the aircraft on the runway. The
decision to reject the takeoff must be made prior to V1 so the rejected takeoff maneuver can be initiated no later than V1.
If the takeoff is rejected because of a fire warning or other such critical circumstances that may warrant an emergency
evacuation, the Captain will immediately bring the aircraft to a complete stop and will set the parking brake.

Maneuvers
7.2.1
Steep Turns.
7-5
15 MAR 10
The objective of the steep turn maneuver is to familiarize pilots with the airplane handling characteristics and improve the
instrument panel scan. Steep turns will be done with the autopilot and flight director off.
Entry:
Recovery:
15 degrees prior to desired heading, start rollout and reduce thrust as necessary to maintain 250 knots
7.2.2
Stalls.
Introduction.
The wing stalls when it reaches its critical angle of attack. An aircraft can be stalled at any attitude, at any thrust setting and at
any airspeed. The Stall Protection System is unable to detect or compensate for wing contamination. Under such
circumstances, an aerodynamic stall may occur before the SPS is able to provide any warning.
If the nose attitude at high altitude is excessively high, performance may be so limited that the aircraft will not be capable of
maintaining altitude and airspeed will decrease. Under these circumstances, a descent must be initiated immediately to prevent
a stall.
Stick Shaker Recovery.
When approaching a stall, recovery should always be initiated at the stick shaker. The pilot is to ensure positive aircraft control
by reducing the AOA, using the control column, and applying maximum thrust. This will help to minimize altitude lost.
Stick Pusher Recovery.
If the approach to stall continues to the stick pusher, the aircraft energy needs to be re-established by sacrificing significantly
more altitude. Do not prevent the stick pusher from lowering the nose of the aircraft and reduce the AOA.
Any stall may be conducted in a turn for training or checking purposes.
Clean Stall.
Entry:
Establish level flight at a safe altitude and 200 knots using the FD in HDG mode and ALTS
Set speed bug to flap 0 speed + 5 knots
Disengage autopilot
Retard thrust levers to 45% N1
Deploy flight spoilers (optional)

7.2.3
Windshear Recovery.
Whenever flight path control becomes marginal at low altitude or when a WINDSHEAR, WINDSHEAR,
WINDSHEAR aural warning occurs accompanied by the PFD indications (flight director, AMI, and WINDSHEAR Red
Warning), the crew will perform the following:
Note
A PFD amber WINDSHEAR caution indication does not necessitate an immediate recovery, but a red
WINDSHEAR warning indication may be imminent, and the crew should prepare for a windshear
recovery.
7.2.4
Compliance with a TCAS RA is mandatory, regardless of conditions. Whenever an RA is indicated, the PF will perform the
following actions:
Note
Most TCAS RAs are resolved with altitude changes of 300-500 feet.
Note
Regulations permit deviation from assigned altitude to comply with a TCAS RA.
7.2.5
Refer to the Systems Manual, Chapter 17-Navigation for a description of the EGPWS.
Flight crews can select the terrain display on their MFD by pushing the RDR/TERR button on their respective DCP. The
terrain function displays the highest and lowest terrain/obstacle value of the selected range setting in the upper left corner of
the map display.
Flight crews should respond to Ground Proximity aural and visual warnings in the following manner:
When an aural PULL UP or TERRAIN warning occurs:
Autopilot disconnect
Set max thrust
Retract spoilers
Rotate smoothly toward best angle of climb (approximately 15 degrees)
Respect stick shaker
Note
When flying under Day VMC conditions, should an EGPWS warning occur and the terrain and/or
obstacles are clearly in sight, immediately take positive corrective action until the EGPWS warning/
alert stops and terrain clearance is assured. At night or in IMC, perform the above EGPWS escape
maneuver.
When an aural warning other than PULL UP occurs, initiate the corrective action to remove the cause of the warning.
Note
To permit maneuvering on final approach or backcourse approach to an unreliable ILS glideslope, at
RA<1000 ft., the glideslope aural and visual alert can be canceled by pressing the G/S switchlight on
the glareshield. The cancel function is automatically reset upon capturing the proper glide path.
Subsequent deviations will cause the aural and visual alerts to reoccur.
Flight crews should respond to the Windshear aural and visual warnings in accordance with the procedures outlined in the
Windshear Recovery section of this chapter.
Deactivation of the EGPWS for abnormal and emergency conditions is accomplished with a GPWS/FLAP override guarded
switchlight on the center pedestal. It can be used to deactivate flap warnings when landings are to be performed with a less
than normal landing flap position. Flight crews will deactivate this system when specific abnormal or emergency procedures in
the QRH call for this action to be performed.
7.2.6
Unusual Attitudes.
If an unusual attitude is encountered, quick and accurate pilot response is paramount. Although impossible to write a
procedure for every conceivable situation, the following guidance should be considered:
An extreme nose-up or nose-down attitude may be determined by use of the red pitch echelons on the ADI and the trend
vector on the airspeed tape
Extreme bank angles may be determined by the top portion of the ADI and heading changes on the PFDs, MFDs, or
standby compass
If an extreme airspeed excursion has occurred, pilots must use the thrust levers and/or flight spoilers in addition to pitch
changes to return to a safe airspeed
Pilot should consider aircraft loading when making all control inputs

Approaches
Approach Profiles.
These profiles may be modified to suit local traffic, ATC requirements, and for fuel conservation measures.
It is not uncommon to intercept the localizer and glideslope above the published glide slope interception altitude and be
cleared for the ILS approach while still a considerable distance from the runway. When it is prudent to delay configuring the
aircraft for landing, the following general guidelines should be used. The distance is in relation to the final approach
verification altitude fix on the Jeppesen approach chart.

Comprehensive planning is the key to a safe, unhurried, single-engine approach. Every attempt should be made to complete
the approach preparations before arrival in the terminal area.
Adequate thrust and normal maneuvering margins are available if the approach is flown in accordance with the standard
profile.
The single-engine approach profile is the same as for 2 engines except that the final flap setting is 20-degrees with
approximately 5% higher N1 thrust on the operating engine. When the landing gear is selected down, set the final approach
speed. The landing flare is reduced due to the flatter approach attitude.

The following procedures should be used when carrying out a flaps and/or slats inoperative approach and landing:
Use standard terminal area speeds and establish final approximately 10 miles from the runway. This will allow time to extend
the gear and decelerate to the target speed while in level flight. Attempt to be in the landing configuration prior to descending
on the glideslope. Due to the higher energy on approach, ensure accurate flight path and speed control.
With a zero flap approach, the landing will tend to be firmer than normal as very little flare is desired. With a zero slat
approach, the approach attitude will be steeper and the flare is more pronounced. Allowing the airplane to float in ground
effect will greatly increase landing distance, which could be critical on a short runway. Verify landing distance requirements
and compare to available runway length.
After main gear touchdown, gently lower the nose to the runway. Apply brakes only after nosewheel touchdown.
Note
Improper landing technique during flap failure can generate loads on the nose gear sufficient to cause
structural damage.

30 AUG 10
The normal approach pitch attitude is approximately 3-degrees nose down with flaps set at 45 degrees. At 50 AGL, reduce the
thrust levers to idle and guard against the nose up tendency due to the thrust reduction. This technique will permit sufficient
deceleration to ensure touchdown at VREF or slightly less. It is imperative that the touchdown occur at VREF or less, since
landing at speeds greater than VREF may result in the nose gear touching first.
Initiate the flare when the main gear is approximately 10 above the runway by increasing pitch attitude very slightly.
At touchdown, the ground lift dumpers will extend automatically. If the GLDs fail to extend automatically, the PM will move
the GLD switch to the MAN ARM position (forward). If the GLDs still fail to extend, the PM will move the Flight Spoiler
lever to MAX (aft).
Select the thrust reversers and gently lower the nosewheel onto the runway. Smoothly apply wheel braking by steadily
increasing pedal pressure, adjusted for runway condition and length available. Do not attempt to modulate or pump the brakes.
Maintain deceleration rate until stopped or desired taxi speed is reached.
Note
It is not necessary to wait for thrust reverser deployment before braking.
Note
Reverse thrust is limited to idle reverse with the nosewheel off the runway.
Reverse Thrust Operation.
Reverse thrust reduces the airplanes stopping distance compared to using brakes alone. Reverse thrust is most effective at
high speeds.
Raise the thrust reverser levers to the interlock/deploy position and observe the amber REV icons on N1 gauges. After reverser
interlocks release and REV icons change to green, pull thrust reverser levers to the maximum position if required. The PM
monitors engine indications and calls any engine abnormalities.
At 90 knots, start reducing reverse thrust to achieve 60% N1 by 75 knots and idle reverse by 60 knots.
Note
During landing, application of reverse thrust above 60% N1 is not permitted at airspeeds below 75
knots. Below 60 knots, reverse thrust must reduced to idle (not above 30% N1). If reverse thrust
above idle reverse is used at speeds less than 60 knots, foreign object damage to the engines may occur.
Crosswind Landing.
The recommended crosswind landing technique is to combine crab and sideslip.
On final approach, a crab angle is established with wings level to hold the airplane on the desired course.
When starting the flare, gently apply rudder to align the aircraft with the runway centerline while applying aileron to prevent a
sideways drift.

7.4.2
The approach pitch attitude is approximately level to one (1) degree nose up at VREF with flaps 45 set. At 50 feet AGL, slowly
begin reducing the thrust to be at IDLE when established in the landing flare. This technique will permit sufficient
deceleration to ensure touchdown at VREF or slightly less. Landing at speeds greater than VREF may result in the nose gear
touching first. This could result in a porpoising bounce causing structural damage if the descent rate is high.
Initiate the flare when the main gear is approximately 20 to 30 feet above the runway by increasing pitch attitude very slightly.
At touchdown, the ground lift dumpers will extend automatically. If the GLDs fail to extend automatically, the PM will move
the GLD switch to the MAN ARM position (forward). If the GLDs still fail to extend, the PM will move the Flight Spoiler
lever to MAX (aft).

At 90 knots, start reducing reverse thrust to achieve 60% N1 by 75 knots and idle reverse by 60 knots.
Note
During landing, application of reverse thrust above 60% N1 is not permitted at airspeeds below 75
knots. Below 60 knots, reverse thrust must reduced to idle (not above 30% N1). If reverse thrust
above idle reverse is used at speeds less than 60 knots, foreign object damage to the engines may occur.
Crosswind Landing.
The recommended crosswind landing technique is to combine crab and sideslip.
On final approach, a crab angle is established with wings level to hold the airplane on the desired course.
When starting the flare, gently apply rudder to align the aircraft with the runway centerline while applying aileron to prevent a
sideways drift.
Rudder control is effective down to approximately 60 knots. Rudder pedal steering is sufficient for maintaining directional
control during the rollout. During a crosswind, displace aileron into the wind.

Overweight Landing.
Overweight landings up to maximum takeoff weight may be safely accomplished by using normal landing procedures and
techniques. There are no adverse handling characteristics associated with heavier than normal landing weights. Compute the
landing distance required to assure that the runway length is adequate for the higher threshold speed. Observe maximum flap
speeds and do not maintain excess airspeed on final. This technique is especially important when landing with flaps 20
degrees during an engine inoperative or other abnormal condition.
A smooth landing is desirable but avoid the tendency of a long flare, as this will considerably increase the landing distance.
Apply maximum reverse thrust promptly after touchdown to help prevent brake temperatures from becoming excessive.
Note
An overweight landing requires a maintenance logbook entry along with an inspection by the
Maintenance Department.

7.4.4
Bounced Landing.
The GLD system is very effective in preventing bounced landings. Its automatic deployment requires that the thrust levers be at
IDLE prior to touchdown, as they should be for all landings. If the pilot believes that thrust must be added and maintained until
touchdown to salvage a landing, then a balked/rejected landing should be executed.
Should the aircraft experience a bounced landing and become airborne, a balked/rejected landing should be executed.
7.5
Go-Around
The go-around procedure is accomplished by simultaneously applying go-around thrust, pressing either TOGA button, and
rotating toward the flight director target attitude (10 degrees). Once the descent is arrested and the airplane is accelerating,
select flaps 8. When a positive rate of climb is established, select the gear up.
Climb out speed is flown as per the normal go-around profile using the V2 marker (which was preset prior to descent) as a
reference. If the flaps are failed, climb at VREF to 1000 AFE.
If a turning missed approach is required, the minimum airspeed is V2 + 10 with flaps 8. Turns at speeds less than V2 + 10
require the selection of BANK to ensure adequate overbank protection.

Rejected/Balked Landing.
It is a common belief that an aircraft can successfully complete a go-around, without ground contact, from any point during the
approach or landing phase. This is definitely not the case. In general, no aircraft is certified to successfully complete a goaround without ground contact once it has entered the low-energy landing regime.
In this flight regime, the aircraft is in a state of very low kinetic and potential energy. The hazardous situation is compounded
by the fact that turbofan engines can require up to 8 seconds to accelerate from idle to full go-around power.
The low-energy regime occurs when the following conditions are met:
The decision to place an aircraft into the low-energy regime is a decision to land. If there are any doubts regarding the
probability of completing a safe landing, a go-around must be initiated prior to entry into the low-energy regime.

Experience with operations conducted from contaminated runways has shown that standing water, slush, snow or ice causes a
deteriorating effect on takeoff and landing performance.
During takeoff on a contaminated runway, airplane acceleration is reduced. Energy normally available for acceleration is
dissipated in compression or displacement of the contaminant and the resulting impingement of the contaminant onto the
airplane can aggravate this energy loss. Reference the chart on page 9-19 for more information on contamination levels for
takeoff.
Stopping distance is dependent upon many factors; one of which is depth of runway contaminant. Braking effectiveness is
reduced due to low tire-to runway friction and is further reduced if tire hydroplaning occurs. In some cases, stopping distances
will decrease as contamination depth increases; however, the risk of hydroplaning is significantly greater and longer distances
normally result. In either situation the aircraft could experience directional control difficulties.
8.1.1
Definitions.
Contaminated.
A runway or taxiway is considered contaminated when it is neither wet nor dry.
Wet.
A runway is considered to be wet when there is sufficient moisture on the runway surface to cause it to appear reflective with a
water depth less than 1/8 inch covering 100% of the runway surface. If there are dry spots showing on a drying runway with
no standing water, the runway is not considered to be wet.
Standing Water.
Standing water is usually caused by heavy rainfall and/or insufficient runway drainage with a depth of more than 1/8 inch and
covering more than 25% of the runway.
Slush.
Slush is snow saturated with water, which displaces with a splatter when stepped on firmly. It is encountered at temperatures
around 5C (41F).
Wet/Compacted Snow.
Wet snow will easily stick together and tend to form a snowball when compacted by hand.
Dry/Loose Snow.
Dry light snow is loose and can easily be blown. If compacted by hand, it will readily fall apart again.
Ice.
A runway surface condition where braking action is expected to be very low, due to the presence of ice with a dull weathered
appearance or a shiny wet appearance.
12 FEB 10
8.1.2
Adverse Weather
Operation on Contaminated Surfaces
Hydroplaning.
Hydroplaning can occur on runways contaminated with standing water or slush and results when hydrodynamic lift forces
generated between the tires and the contaminant are sufficient to lift the tires and airplane clear of the runway surface. In this
condition, the tires are no longer capable of providing directional control or effective braking.
Hydroplaning does not normally occur in water depths of less than 1/5 inch, although under some conditions the minimum
depth may be as low as 1/10 inch. Once hydroplaning has commenced, it can be sustained over areas where the water depth
and/or speeds are lower than those required for initiation.
8.1.3
Taxi.
8.1.4
Takeoff.
Takeoff on contaminated runways is prohibited when contamination levels exceed the values given in the Limtations Chapter
of this POH. The use of reduced thrust settings is prohibited if the runway is contaminated or if wing and/or cowl anti-icing is
being used. Continuous ignition must be used for takeoff and landing on contaminated runways.
Apply brakes and advance thrust levers. If the aircraft starts to creep or slide during engine power check, release the brakes
and begin the takeoff roll. Anticipate a lag in nosewheel steering response and possible nosewheel skidding. Apply
corrections as necessary.
Directional control can be improved by employing a light but firm forward pressure on the control column to increase
nosewheel steering effectiveness.
Use aerodynamic control as soon as it becomes available. Ailerons can increase directional control in the 60 to 100 knot range.
Avoid large or rapid rudder inputs.
<-200 only>
When conducting takeoff with the wing and/or cowl anti-icing selected on, the engine 10th stage bleed air valves must be
closed. Use APU bleed air for air conditioning and pressurization or conduct an unpressurized takeoff as outlined in the
Supplemental Chapter of this POH.
8-3
12 FEB 10
Rejected Takeoff.
If the decision is made to reject the takeoff, maximum deceleration is achieved by using maximum reverse thrust and
maximum braking, also:
8.1.5
Landing.
Landing on contaminated runways is prohibited when contamination levels exceed the values given in the Limitations Chapter
of this POH.
For landing on a contaminated runway, lower the nosewheel immediately and maintain light forward control column pressure.
Thrust reversers are most effective at high speed. At low speed, minimize the intensity and duration of reverse thrust.
However, in an emergency situation, maximum reverse thrust may be used to a complete stop.
Do not pump the brakes; pumping the brakes will only diminish braking effectiveness. Apply brakes normally with steadily
increasing pressure.
Anticipate skidding and hydroplaning and be prepared to take the following necessary actions:
If a skid develops, reduce thrust to idle reverse and if necessary, return the engines to idle forward thrust to return to the
centerline. Regain the centerline with nosewheel steering, rudder and/or differential braking.
Directional control problems on slick runways could also be encountered due to excessive cycling of the anti-skid system.
To correct the condition, reduce brake pressure.
Do not attempt to turnoff from a icy runway until the speed is reduced to prevent skidding. Anticipate low friction when
approaching the touchdown zone at the far end of the runway due to heavy rubber and/or oil deposits.
<-200 only>
When conducting a landing with the wing and/or cowl anti-icing selected ON, the engine 10th stage bleed air valves must be
CLOSED. Prior to the approach, start the APU and transfer the bleed air loading to the APU, or land unpressurized if APU is
unavailable as outlined in the Supplemental Chapter of this POH.
Crosswind Landings.
In crosswind conditions, the crosswind crab angle should be maintained for as long as possible prior to touchdown. Aim for
the centerline or slightly on the upwind side and avoid touching down on the downwind side of the runway. This technique
will minimize the possibility of the airplane weathervaning into the wind after touchdown and drifting toward the downwind
side of the runway.
Use of Reverse Thrust.
The intensity and duration of reverse thrust used at low speeds should be minimized. Using reverse thrust at low speeds on
snow and/or ice covered runways can cause foreign object damage (FOD) to the engines and possibly lead to loss of forward
visibility due to whiteout.
It should be noted that maximum reverse thrust may be used to a full stop during emergencies.
The use of reverse thrust during crosswind conditions may aggravate directional control of the aircraft. If the airplane is
allowed to weathervane into the wind, drifting may occur toward the downwind side of the runway at a faster rate than normal.
To correct the situation, it will be necessary to move the thrust levers out of reverse thrust and go to forward idle thrust. Use
rudder steering and differential braking as required to prevent over correcting past the runway centerline. When reestablished
on the runway centerline, reapply steady brakes and reverse thrust as required to stop the airplane.
8-4
12 FEB 10
8.1.6
After Landing.
Do not retract the flaps further than 20 degrees if ice accumulation on the flaps is suspected. This will prevent possible damage
to the structure and mechanism.
Anticipate that ramps can be iced over and that the use of reverse thrust for stopping the airplane may be necessary.
8.2
The winter seasons low temperatures and potentially hazardous freezing precipitation present additional problems when
operating the aircraft both in-flight and on the ground. Although many highly qualified people prepare the aircraft for flight, it
is the ultimate responsibility of the pilot-in-command to ensure that the airplane is in a condition for safe flight prior to takeoff.
Cold weather operations refer to ground handling, takeoffs and landings conducted on surfaces where frozen moisture is
present. These conditions are typically encountered when the surface temperature is at or below 0C (32F), although frozen
moisture may be present and persist for a significant time at higher temperatures. Supplementary procedures are provided to
account for two categories of operational hazards associated with frozen contamination, which are:
Performance losses and degradation of the aircrafts handling characteristics caused by contamination of aerodynamically
critical surfaces
Ground handling difficulties and performance penalties on takeoff and landing caused by the contamination of runways and
airplane movement areas
In all cases, it is assumed that the decision to operate the aircraft in cold weather conditions will be based on sound airmanship.
8.2.1
Airframe De-Icing/Anti-Icing.
General Procedures.
The following precautions must be observed when operating in cold weather conditions:
Before entering the airplane, the pilot-in-command or qualified delegate must complete a thorough inspection of the critical
surfaces to determine the extent of contamination
After de-icing, confirm that all surfaces are clean
If the takeoff cannot be started before the holdover time has expired, the airplane must again be inspected and, if necessary,
de-iced and anti-iced before attempting takeoff
WARNING
Takeoff is prohibited with frost, ice, snow or slush adhering to any critical surface, (wings,
upper fuselage, horizontal stabilizer, vertical stabilizer, control surfaces and engine inlets).
Note
Takeoff is permitted with frost adhering to:
The underside of the wing, that is caused by cold soaked fuel.
WARNING
Even small amounts of frost, ice, snow, or slush on the wing leading edges and forward
upper wing surface may adversely change the stall speeds, stall characteristics, and the
protection provided by the stall protection system, which may result in loss of control on
takeoff.
8-5
12 FEB 10
De-Icing/Anti-Icing Fluids.
The application of de-icing/anti-icing fluid is the most common means of cleaning and protecting the airplane surfaces. These
fluids are broadly classified as Type I, Type II, Type III and Type IV.
Type I Fluids.
Type I fluid is a heated water/glycol solution that is used for de-icing of the aircraft. In concentrated form, these fluids contain
glycols to a minimum of 80% with no thickening agents. Their resulting low viscosity and very short holdover time provide
very limited anti-icing protection.
Type II Fluids.
Type II fluid provides anti-icing protection and is applied after the aircraft has been de-iced. Type II fluid can be applied
neat (100% glycol) or mixed with water to a minimum concentration of 50/50. The fluids relatively high viscosity
(thickening agent) is effective in improving the anti-icing holdover time. During takeoff, the slipstream imparts a shear stress
to the fluid layer causing it to flow off the surface to which it was applied.
Type III Fluids.
Type III fluid is a thickened fluid which has properties that lie between Types I and II. Therefore, it provides a longer holdover
time than Type I but less than Type II.
Type IV Fluids.
Type IV fluid provides superior anti-icing protection and is applied after the aircraft has been de-iced. This fluid is normally
applied neat (100%), and cold. Type IV fluid uses thickening agents to increase the viscosity of the fluid and consequently,
Type IV fluid provides significantly longer holdover time. During takeoff, the slipstream imparts a shear stress to the fluid
layer, causing it to flow off the surface to which it was applied. Type IV fluid can be applied heated with no change in
performance.
It is essential to takeoff with an aerodynamically clean airplane. All surfaces of the airplane (wing, vertical and horizontal
stabilizers, flight control surfaces, spoilers and flaps) must be free of frost, ice and snow before takeoff. De-icing/anti-icing
must be accomplished as close as practical to takeoff to maximize the time that anti-icing will be able to provide protection.
The Quick Reference Handbook (QRH) provides a de-icing/anti-icing checklist for use before and after spraying the airplane.
The calculation of the anti-icing holdover time is of fundamental concern to the flight deck crew. The QRH provides holdover
time tables for various kinds of freezing precipitation based on the de-icing/anti-icing fluid used.

External Walkaround.
The company will always adhere to the Clean Aircraft Concept. To avoid APU start malfunctions, the area in the vicinity of
the APU intake must be clear of heavy snow buildup.
In addition to a visual check, a tactile check of the wing leading edge, wing forward upper surface and wing rear upper surface
is required during the External Walkaround inspection to determine that the wing is free from frost, ice, snow or slush when the
Outside Air Temperature (OAT) is 5C (41F) or less or the wing fuel temperature is 0C (32F) or less AND
Visible moisture in any form (such as clouds, fog, mist, rain, snow, sleet or ice crystals), is present, or
Water is present on the wings, or
The atmospheric conditions have been conducive to frost formation.
Note
Ice and frost may continue to adhere to wing surfaces for some time even at outside air temperatures
above 5C (41F).
Clear ice is most likely to form when the aircraft is operated in an environment of high humidity and the upper surfaces of the
wing are in contact with the cold fuel in the wing tanks. This can occur at temperatures up to 10C (50F). Takeoff is
permissible with the following accumulations on the underside of the wing surfaces associated with the fuel tanks:
As ice from a previous flight may be difficult to detect on the unheated tail section, examine the winglet to assist in
determining whether ice may be present on the tail.
During the First Flight of the Day walkaround, stand in the aircraft main doorway to look into the engine inlet for possible
build up of snow or ice in the bottom of the cowl. If ice or snow is visible, you may not get N1 rotation upon startup.
Before Engine Start.
Before starting the engines, the Captain should assess the surface conditions of the ramp. Special considerations should be
given to problems that could be encountered during the engine start and pushback.
Caution
Under no circumstances is it permissible to use de-icing fluid in the intake area.
<-200 only>
Caution
N1 fan rotation must be confirmed prior to fuel introduction. Water may pool and freeze the lower

Engine Start.
During cold weather starts, initial oil pressure response may be slow. As the engine accelerates, the oil pressure may rapidly
increase then exceed the normal range. The high oil pressure should progressively reduce to normal as the engine achieves
normal operating temperatures. Refer to the Chapter 3: Limitations for oil pressure limitations.
Caution
If oil pressure is not indicated by the time idle rpm is achieved, conduct an immediate shutdown of the
engine.
Expect generators to be slow in producing steady power due to cold oil in the IDGs. Five minutes may be required for the
IDGs to stabilize sufficiently.

Extremely hot environments present operational problems of a different nature than those associated with cold weather
operations. The main concerns focus primarily on passenger and crew comfort and the significant decrease in airplane
performance which high ground temperatures can effect.
The following recommended procedures have been provided to supplement the normal operating procedures:
APU air/ground air ......................................................................................................................................................Establish
Note
During airplane operations when the flight deck and cabin temperatures are above 30C (86F), the
air conditioning system must be operated or low-pressure ground conditioned air must be supplied to
the aircraft. Conditioned air is required to maintain EICAS and EFIS display temperatures within a
range that prevents display shutdown.
Note
The importance of keeping the interior of the airplane as cool as possible cannot be overemphasized.
All entrances and access doors to the airplane should be kept closed as much as possible and the cargo
bay should not be left open any longer than is necessary. Every effort to reduce the heat being
generated in the flight deck while the airplane is on the ground should be made.

12 FEB 10
Taxi.
Operating in areas of high ambient temperatures may cause brake temperature limits to be exceeded. This condition would
lead to fusible plugs melting and deflation of the overheated tires involved.
Runway and taxiway surface temperatures often exceed the ambient temperature. Consideration for brake cooling should
always be taken into account. Excessive use and riding the brakes should be avoided. Minimize braking when possible to
allow ample time for cooling between applications. The recommended technique is to allow the airplane to accelerate, then
brake to a very slow taxi speed and release the brakes completely.
8.3.2
Takeoff.
High ambient temperatures in combination with short runways or high elevation airports could cause substantial penalties to
airplane performance. Special attention must be given to the restriction imposed on the maximum takeoff weight. The
penalties should be taken into account early in the preflight preparations.
8.3.3
Landing.
The landing phase of flight during high ambient temperature conditions is not as demanding as with cold weather operations.
It should be noted that runway conditions, particularly at the touchdown area could be slick due to heavy deposits of melted
rubber.
8.3.4
Brake Cooling.
For quick turnaround operations, the energy absorbed by the brakes following each landing may cause considerable delays
between flights. Overheating of the brakes may cause the wheel fusible plugs to heat up and result in tire deflation.
The brake cooling times in the Performance section of the Pilot Operating Handbook (POH) must be adhered to.
Note
A minimum of 15 minutes must be observed between a landing or rejected takeoff and a subsequent
takeoff with the BTMS operative to allow the brakes to reach maximum temperature. BTMS
readings must be 5 or less and not increasing prior to takeoff.
During landing, excessive braking should be avoided and the thrust reversers should be used to their full advantage.
8.4
Weather Radar
The primary function of the WXR-840 weather radar system is to aid pilots in the detection and avoidance of areas of
precipitation in and around thunderstorms.
The WXR-840 cannot detect clear air turbulence, windshear, clouds or lightning. However, rain, wet hail, moderate to heavy
wet snow - and in some cases, possible icing conditions - can be detected by the system.
The WXT-840 can also be used to map-read the terrain.
The basic characteristics of the X-band radar system are:
This new-technology solid-state radar requires different operating techniques when compared to older parabolic-antenna radar.
8-12
12 FEB 10
8.4.1
Power Output.
The WXR-840 weather radar system uses digital-signal processing which has allowed transmitter power requirements to be
reduced to 25 watts.
The use of digital-signal processing and low power optimizes the performance of the radar system.
8.4.2
Display Calibration.
The colors on this radar represent variations in rainfall rate and create a display which is easier to interpret than the older
monochrome sets. Detectable weather appears as one of the following colors - least reflective to most reflective: Black,
Green, Yellow, Red, and Magenta.
Another significant difference is the way the picture is painted on the screen. In previous analog weather radar, new returns
were added by each sweep of the antenna while old returns gradually bled away.
The new radar display is generated in the same way as a TV screen; each new sweep is a totally new picture - the old picture is
completely erased. Thus, color changes can occur quickly if a return is close to the threshold between rainfall-rate categories.
Digital weather radar incorporates hypersensitive receivers and sensitivity time control (STC) circuitry to present a true
calibrated image within a range of approximately 60 miles. Therefore, a yellow storm return at 60 miles will still be yellow at
10 miles.
WARNING
Sunglasses with polarized lenses that are designed to filter specific colors/frequencies of
light may adversely affect a pilots ability to see some colors shown on radar and EFIS
displays. Some elements on the display could be completely invisible while wearing these
types of sunglasses.
Also, the color of some elements may be changed. For example, some blue light filtering lenses can change magenta to red.
For a radar target, this represents a reduction in the actual level of intensity of the target.

Flat-Plate Antenna.
Some energy from the older parabolic antenna was lost in the side lobes. This resulted in more ground clutter at low altitudes
and more close-range weather returns around the periphery of the main beam. The flat-plate antenna transmits a narrow-focus,
long-range beam which greatly reduces the side lobes and focuses much more energy into the main lobe.
With the loss of the side lobes, TILT control becomes more critical. As you approach storms and reduce the range, the tilt must
be adjusted downward to avoid overscanning significant returns.
When using a flat-plate antenna for the first time, some pilots have expressed doubts about the lack of weather targets
displayed, pointing out that they could see clouds that were not shown on the radar. Since radar display of clouds is dependent
upon moisture content, clouds with low moisture may not have enough reflectivity to be displayed. This misunderstanding has
been aggravated by use of the flat-plate antenna.
The flat-plate antenna exhibits characteristics different from the parabolic antenna. A great reduction in side-lobe energy
results in the tilt setting being very sensitive, and its adjustment is critical to effective weather detection. It is recommended
that the PM coordinate tilt and range selections with the PF to detect and avoid weather.
8.4.4
TILT Control.
The TILT control allows the radar beam to be moved up +15or down -15 to aid the pilot in interpreting storm activity. Proper
use of the TILT control allows the pilot to achieve the best picture of storm-cell size, height, and relative direction of
movement. Procedures for adjusting the TILT control vary depending on user requirements. Proper use requires experience
and practice.
8.4.5
Operating Tip.
Maximum rainfall rates in a thunderstorm usually occur about mid level in the storm. This is normally the area that will paint
the strongest returns. If the airplane is below that altitude, some antenna uptilt will be needed. Conversely, if the airplane is
above that altitude, some degree of down-tilt will be needed.
The amount of tilt needed varies with the estimated distance of the storm, the closer the storm, the more tilt required. In either
instance, it is good practice to periodically move the TILT control throughout its range to reduce the possibility of missing
close-in targets.
When operating over land, the best general guideline is to select a range that is within the line-of-sight distance to the horizon
and adjust the antenna tilt until a small amount of ground clutter appears at about the outer third of the display.
An aircraft at 10,000 ft. AGL, with the 300 nm range selected, will not be able to paint ground clutter much beyond 123 nm. A
better range selection at this altitude may be the 100 nm setting.
Once weather activity is identified, it is important to keep the radar beam pointed to the liquid portion of the cell. As discussed
earlier, ice crystals reflect less energy than liquid precipitation. Tilting the beam above the freezing level may result in an
underestimation of the cells intensity. Move the TILT control up and down to determine the most reflective portion of the cell.
8.4.6
Autotilt is designed to reduce pilot workload by automatically adjusting the antenna tilt angle to maintain to ratio tilt/angle
following altitude or range changes.
Autotilt is selected with the PUSH AUTO switch (push ON/push OFF). On the weather radar mode line, active autotilt is
indicated by a suffix A at the angle readout.
When autotilt is selected ON, manual tilt commands from the TILT control remain operational.
8-14
12 FEB 10
8.4.7
GAIN Control.
The GAIN control is a seven-position switch that allows manual GAIN control of the radar system when operating in the MAP
and WX modes. When placed in the NORM position, the gain is preset to a value that allows the radar receiver to calibrate its
operation to the actual reflectivity level.
To aid pilots in making correct weather judgements, the GAIN control may be adjusted to higher or lower gain settings. The
high settings (+1, +2, +3) may be chosen to identify the highest levels of precipitation, while the lower settings (-1, -2, -3) may
be temporarily chosen to allow a more in-depth study of the most intense weather targets.
Each of the minus settings (-1, -2, -3) reduces the sensitivity of the radar system below that of the NORM setting by
approximately one color level.
Each of the plus settings (+1, +2, +3) increases the sensitivity of the radar system through a combination of lengthening the
transmitted pulse-width and increasing the receiver gain. The effective gain increase with each setting can be as much as one
color level when the target is in close (out to approximately 65 nm) and less than one color level at longer ranges.
The greatest utility offered by the plus gain setting is the ability to display light precipitation that otherwise would be just under
the green level threshold on the NORM setting. In many cases, these light levels still cause turbulence and can be avoided by
use of the plus gain feature.
Proper use of of the GAIN control allows a pilot, with weather radar operating experience, to estimate rainfall rates greater
than a VIP level 3 (red) or 5 (magenta) return. Targets that show in a reduced gain condition indicate that severe turbulence,
hail, and heavy rainfall is likely.
Caution
Although proper use of the GAIN control can provide added knowledge of the targets being displayed,
the pilot should always return the GAIN control to the NORM position when finished analyzing the
display. Failure to do so may result in missing significant targets at any range when operating in one
of the minus settings (-1, -2, -3).
8.4.8
Ground clutter suppression (GCS) is operable only in the WX mode. When selected, GCS reduces the intensity of ground
returns and makes the precipitation returns easier to interpret. When selected, GCS is annunciated in cyan in the upper left
corner of the MFD.
GCS should only be used to identify ground clutter. Continuous operations with the GCS feature turned on is not
recommended because some precipitation returns may also be reduced in intensity or eliminated from the display.
If the antenna is excessively tilted down and GCS is turned on, a phenomenon knows as a GCS wedge may occur. This
wedge is represented as a black area (an area showing no return) located approximately +/- 10 degrees from the aircrafts nose,
and of the same depth of the ground return that was being painted prior to turning on GCS. To eliminate the wedge, turn GCS
off or raise the tilt angle until the wedge disappears.

RANGE Control.
The RANGE control is a rotary knob that is used to select the maximum display range. For all of the selectable ranges, one
cyan or white (white for MAP mode only) half-range arc is shown in the center of the MFD.
Extending outward from the aircraft symbol is a blanked ranged area. The size of this blanked range area equals one eighth of
the selected range. The pilot should remember that the area between the airplane symbol and the perimeter of the blanked
range does not show any targets. The selectable ranges, range-arc annunciations and blanked range are shown on the MFD.

Note
The pilot must always keep in mind the blanked area of the radar display during and after airplane
maneuvers in the presence of potential weather. If one of the longer ranges is selected during and
after airplane maneuvers, it is possible for weather targets to slip within the blanked range area and
therefore not shown on the display. The shortest practical range should be momentarily selected both
during and following airplane maneuvers to ensure close-in weather shows on the display.
8.4.10 Transfer Mode.
In dual-radar control installations, the radar works in the split-scan mode. In the split-scan mode, the radar display on one side
can be completely different from the one on the other side except for the scan width (SEC). Selecting the XFR switch will
cause the system to operate as if it was a single-radar installation.
In single-radar installations, the XFR push button determines which display control panel (DCP) has control of the radar range.
If both sides have selected the radar format on the multifunction display and the ranges are the same, the display mileage on
the side controlling the radar range will be white; it will be yellow on the side not in control. A push on the XFR switch will
cause the other DCP to assume control of the radar range.
When the radar range is different than the one on the MFD, the annunciation RADAR NOT AT THIS RANGE will be
displayed.

8.4.11 Operation.
Ground Operation.
The description of operation that follows has been derived from the vendors Pilots Guide. For a complete description of
operation, refer to the Collins WXR-840 Weather Radar System, Pilots Guide-Operation.
Switch the system to STBY mode when on the ground, unless you are using WX mode to check the terminal area prior to
departure.
WARNING
The safe distance for human exposure to radar radiation of the WXR-840 weather radar
system is 2 feet. Users should take necessary and reasonable precautions to ensure that
personnel and equipment sensitive to microwave radiation are kept safely beyond this
distance.
Takeoff and Climb.
Prior to takeoff, a short range selection such as 20 nm scale should be used. Tilt the antenna up to approximately +5 degrees to
scan for weather along the departure path. Select autotilt to compensate for the initial altitude and range changes during
climbout. As the airplane climbs, the tilt should be gradually decreased to aim at the regions of maximum precipitation while
avoiding ground clutter, and the range should be increased. To reduce pilot workload, the use of autotilt during ascents and
descents is encouraged.
Cruise.
For cruise, the tilt should be adjusted so that the ground returns are barely visible at the outer edge of the screen. Ground
returns are displayed in arcs, paralleled to range marks. They merge together as the tilt is brought down and cause shadowing
behind prominent features. They are generally smaller, sharper, and more angular than weather returns. To avoid
overscanning, the tilt will have to be adjusted more frequently as storms are approached or range is changed.
Having once adjusted the tilt setting, pilots should not be content with just an occasional glance at the screen. Failure to
periodically down-tilt leads to disappearing targets.
Middle Altitudes.
Antenna tilt for airplane flying at 20,000 ft. should be set near 0 degrees or slightly down.
Higher Altitudes.
This radar detects only liquid moisture in the form of raindrops, wet hail or wet snowflakes. Unless the beam is aimed at or
below the freezing level of weather cells, there may not be sufficient moisture to paint a return on the display.
TILT Control at High Altitudes (Above FL350).
The tilt used for the middle altitudes is not effective for flight above 35,000 feet. Typically, at high altitudes, a longer range is
selected and the tilt is adjusted slightly down. When selecting the operating range, keep in mind the line-of-sight distance to
the horizon. When operating at the higher altitudes, it is particularly easy to scan over the top of significant storm cells.
Do not attempt to overfly targets. It is possible that dry hail (which generally cannot be detected) and severe turbulence may be
present far above (radar) top of any areas of detected precipitation. The pilot should always remember that the weather radar
system is an avoidance tool. It is strongly recommended that pilots never attempt to overfly, underfly, or penetrate storm cells
or squall lines. For the safest operation, it is suggested that the pilot plan ahead to establish a flight path that avoids all returns
by the distance established in the FOM.
8-17
12 FEB 10
Descent.
Antenna tilt has to be raised approximately one degree per 10,000 ft. of descent down to 15,000 ft., then one degree per 5,000
ft. below 15,000 ft. Range should be adjusted as necessary to scan the arrival route adequately. In heavy weather, the longest
appropriate range should be used to plan a safe avoidance route; the selection of shorter ranges will show greater details as you
enter the affected area. Remember that more tilt adjustment will be required each time the range is switched. Only very small
corrections will be required when using autotilt.
8.4.12 Summary.
Experience enables the pilot to properly analyze various types of storm displays. The key to avoiding detected weather is to
first determine the heading change needed to bypass a storm safely. Once established on the appropriate heading, recheck the
weather radar display to determine if further heading changes are required. The pilot should remember that the weather radar
system was designed as a weather avoidance tool.
The pilot has the sole responsibility to decide how close to approach the various types of storms shown on the displays. Most
convective weather systems in North America travel from south/southwest to north/northeast. The areas ahead of these storms
(north/northeast) can then be expected to contain gust fronts, turbulence, heavy rain, and possibly hail. It is suggested that
these areas be avoided by no less than the minimum distance established in the FOM.
8.5
Windshear
Improper or ineffective flight path control has been shown to be a primary factor in cases of flight into terrain. Low-altitude
windshear encounters are especially significant because windshear can place the crew in a situation that will require the
maximum performance capability of the airplane.
Windshear is a weather phenomenon of sudden wind speed and/or direction changes over a short distance. It can occur in both
the vertical and horizontal plane. The downburst is the most dangerous type of windshear, and studies have confirmed the
existence of a more hazardous form of downburst known as microburst.
Microbursts are intense downdrafts that, upon reaching the surface, spread outward from the downdraft center. This rapidly
flowing air can produce extreme vertical and horizontal windshear.
The duration of a microburst from the initial downburst to dissipation seldom exceeds 15 minutes. The maximum-intensity
winds typically last for about 2 to 4 minutes. Multiple microbursts have been known to occur in the same general area;
therefore when microburst activity starts, pilots should be prepared for further windshear encounters.
8.5.1
Knowledge of how windshear affects airplane performance is essential to the successful application of proper control
techniques.
The wind component is mostly horizontal at altitudes below 500 feet. Horizontal windshear may either improve or degrade
vertical flight path performance. Windshear that improves performance will be first indicated by an increasing airspeed. This
type of windshear may be a precursor of a shear that will decrease airspeed and degrade vertical flight path performance.
Increasing performance windshear is annunciated on the PFD by a flashing amber WINDSHEAR caution indication and the
alpha margin indicator (AMI).
Decreasing performance windshear is annunciated on the PFD by a flashing red WINDSHEAR warning indication and the
alpha margin indicator (AMI). COMPLIANCE WITH ALL WINDSHEAR WARNINGS IS MANDATORY.
In critical low-altitude situations, flight path control must be maintained by adjusting the pitch and thrust. An increase in pitch
attitude, even though the airspeed may be decreasing, will increase the lifting force and improve the flight path angle.
Maximum available thrust, combined with proper pitch control, will utilize the total airplane performance capability.
8-18
12 FEB 10
8.5.2
Avoidance.
Windshear conditions that exceed the performance capabilities of commercial transport airplanes have been observed below
500 feet. The flight crew should be vigilant for the presence of windshear along the intended flight path. Pilots must avoid
areas of known severe windshear. If severe windshear has been reported, pilots must delay takeoff or approach until conditions
improve.
Assist other pilots by reporting windshear encounters precisely and promptly. Accurate pilot reports can be a valuable clue to
the severity of a windshear condition. If windshear is suspected, the crew must be especially alert in order to be prepared for
an inadvertent encounter.
The flight crew must make the determination of marginal flight path control using all of the information available. This
determination is subjective and based on the pilots judgement of the situation.
As a guideline, marginal flight path control may be indicated by uncontrolled changes from normal steady-state flight
conditions in excess of:
Note
EGPWS will detect and warn of Windshear conditions at altitudes below 1500 ft. AGL.
8.5.3
Precautions - Takeoff.
If windshear is suspected, do not use reduced thrust. Use the longest suitable runway provided it is clear of areas of known
windshear. Flaps 8 is recommended for takeoff.
Do not engage the autopilot below 1500 ft. AGL if windshear is reported or suspected in the area.
The aircraft is equipped with a windshear detection and recovery guidance system. Windshear flight director escape guidance
is available at all times below 1500 ft. AGL.
Pilots should be alert to airspeed fluctuations during takeoff and initial climb. Such fluctuations may be the first indication of
windshear. Control wheel forces may be different from those expected during a normal takeoff especially if airspeed is below
in-trim speed.
Closely monitor vertical flight path information such as those displayed by the vertical speed indicators and altimeters. The
PM should be especially aware of vertical flight path indications and call out any deviations from normal.
If windshear is encountered near the normal rotation speed and the airspeed suddenly decreases, there may not be sufficient
runway remaining to accelerate back to normal takeoff speeds. If there is insufficient runway remaining to stop, initiate a
normal rotation at least 2,000 ft. before the end of the runway. Ensure maximum engine thrust is set.
8.5.4
Avoid large thrust reductions or trim changes when responding to sudden airspeed increases as these may be followed by rapid
airspeed decreases.
In suspected windshear conditions, continuously crosscheck flight director commands using the vertical flight path
information available. Reading the vertical speed indication and glide slope displacement accurately, the PF can be pre-warned
of windshear activity. Either pilot should call out any deviation from normal.
Use of the autopilot on approach improves monitoring and recognition time.

The TLR is prepared for each flight based on the meteorological conditions, runway conditions, and aircraft configuration
anticipated by the dispatcher at the time of departure. The TLR provides takeoff & landing data for the planned conditions as
well as a range of data surrounding planned conditions. The TLR includes takeoff and landing data for all runways authorized
for use by PSA Airlines.
The TLR is divided into two sections:
9.5.1
9.5.2
TLR Layout.
Header / Title
The header contains the parameters that were used by the dispatcher for planning the flight. The first line lists the flight
number, city pairing and departure date. The second line contains the TLR-#, SEQ-#, and the date and time the report was
generated. The TLR-# represents the run number and is used to match the flight release and takeoff report versions. If the
dispatcher re-runs the report, the TLR-# will increase by one. The SEQ-# is a unique identifier given to each takeoff report.
The last line states the three letter aircraft SABRE code, airframe designation and the engine type.

Caution
This is a Dispatch planning tool only, stating the conditions used by the Dispatcher at the time the
report was generated. Actual takeoff conditions will be controlling and will most likely differ from
planned conditions.
Takeoff from any intersection on the same runway (providing greater available runway length, up to and including full length)
is authorized, even though it may not be depicted on the Takeoff Report.

Remarks Section
RMKS - Uses the aircraft configuration and runway condition selected by the dispatcher to compute the Planned
Maximum Runway Takeoff Weight (PMRTW), MAXV1, and MFPTW
Note
MEL and CDL - Items that degrade performance are included in the remarks section, and are used by the
dispatcher and transferred to the Takeoff Report. Listed configuration changes are applied to the entire
report unless otherwise specified in a Data Header.
Examples of possible remarks are:
BLEEDS OPEN
ENGINE ANTI-ICE ON (A/I ON)
SLUSH LEVEL 2
NONE
If remarks indicate a wet runway, and a Data Header includes the word DRY RWY, that section is based on a dry runway.
Generally, inoperative components (MELs/CDLs) apply to the entire report, while pilot selectable options (BLDS OPEN,
ENGINE ANTI-ICE ON (A/I AS RQRD)) are overridden by the Data Header.
The Condition Change Note Section provides a space for the crew to record revised performance data received verbally from
dispatch. It can be used in cases where the Takeoff Report does not contain data for the current conditions or when fine-tuning
of the Maximum Runway Takeoff Weight (MRTW) is required to obtain maximum payload capability. The Dispatcher can
quickly make a single point calculation for exact conditions that can be relayed to the flight crew.
Crews must contact dispatch for any condition that will adversely affect aircraft performance when information is not provided
on the release. Typical scenarios for its use are last minute MEL/CDL items that were not included in the original report,
actual OAT exceeding the scale, actual QNH greater than 0.10 below PQNH, or any other additional refinements required.

ACARS RUNWAYS
Each Takeoff Report will include an ACARS RUNWAYS section that gives an overview of the ACARS selectable runways,
PMTOW and Engine Failure Procedures (EFP).

PMTOW -The Planned Max Takeoff Weight is limited by MFPTW as well as MRTW. This number is given here as a
quick reference for the pilot.
EFP - Engine Failure Procedures are provided here for quick reference as well as in the first Takeoff Data Section. Refer to
the Special Engine Failure Procedures for guidelines.
NOTES - Used to display any extra information to the pilot. i.e. EARLY ALL ENG OPERATING TURN AT 400 FT
AFE OK. In the example above, this same note is not shown because it is displayed in the Special Engine Failure
Procedures section.
Below the Data Section are the Special Engine Failure Procedures. This section specifies an engine out departure track, if
required, and its associated procedure.
Simple-Special Procedures
Simple-Special Procedures are designed to provide information that differs from standard procedures. Simple-Special
Procedures will be provided anytime a turn is required below 400 ft. AFE, and single-engine standard operating procedures
cannot be used due to obstacle requirements. These procedures will be presented at the bottom portion of the Takeoff Report in
table format.
Complex-Special Procedures
The Complex-Special Procedure is issued when an engine failure procedure is too complex to fit in the Simple-Special table
and/or other considerations must be taken into account. Often, all-engine procedures are also specified in order to ensure that
the aircraft will remain in the obstacle-protected area until reaching a safe engine failure altitude. MFRA remains at 1,000 ft.
AFE unless otherwise specified in the procedure.
9-11

LT - Left Turn
RT - Right Turn
DT - Direct
H - Heading
FRA - Flap Retraction Altitude remains at 1,000' AFE unless specified here
HOLD - Holding procedures at NAVAID. Unless otherwise noted, hold on the inbound radial using a direct entry with
right turns and one-minute legs. This may not be a published holding pattern - NOTIFY ATC.
------ FLEX - DRY RWY - ROLLING - BLDS OPEN - A/I OFF -------
The title line describes the base conditions and airplane configuration (FLEX, DRY/WET, ROLLNG, BLDS CLSD/OPEN, A/
I OFF/AS RQRD) for which the data was calculated. The conditions and configuration listed override any in the remarks
section.
FLEX - Reduced thrust takeoff (If not listed, assume full-power takeoff). FLEX Takeoff is the preferred takeoff at PSA
Airlines when conditions allow.
ROLLING Takeoff - Takeoff N1 is set between brake release and 60 KIAS
9-12
12 FEB 10
A Takeoff Report will start with a data section for reduced power (FLEX) takeoffs. FLEX Takeoff is the preferred takeoff at
PSA Airlines when conditions allow. Reduced Power Section formatting is similar to the Max Thrust Section shown on the
following pages except that each runway has its own temperature scale and power setting. There are two columns of data for
each runway. The left column shows assumed temperature and the right shows maximum takeoff weight. The OAT label is
replaced with the AT (Assumed Temperature) label.
A sample Reduced Power Takeoff Section follows. It gives reduced thrust takeoff information for four runways: 1, 4, 15, and
19.
The maximum takeoff weight is shown as a six-character code. This gives the same information that is shown on the fullpower takeoff section. This is:
First three characters:
Fourth character:
Limit code
Maximum V1
49,100 lbs.
Limit Code
F (Field Limit)
Maximum V1:
144
One temperature in each column is marked with a / symbol. This is used to indicate a reference temperature. In a Full
Power Takeoff Section, the / is shown at the planned OAT (POAT). However, in a Reduced Power Section, the / is shown
at the highest temperature that will permit the planned takeoff weight (PTOW). If a given runway cannot permit the PTOW at
any temperature above POAT, then / is not displayed. When the reduced power settings reach the maximum reduction
allowed, the temperature at which this occurs becomes the upper limit of the scale.

12 FEB 10
Abbreviated Engine Failure Procedures - An Abbreviated Engine Failure Procedure in the heading of the data section
provides guidance for the first turn.
Abbreviated Engine Failure Procedure codes include:
RT - Right Turn
LT - Left Turn
H - Heading (RT H180)
DT - Direct (turn to NAVAID or heading in direction of shortest distance)
Caution
In the event of an engine failure after takeoff, the abbreviated engine failure procedure, SimpleSpecial, or Complex-Special Procedure MUST be followed in lieu of published IFR departure
procedure or Graphic Departure Procedure.
AT Assumed Temperature
N1 - Takeoff N1 setting
FLAP - Takeoff Flap Setting (8 or 20)
MRTW - Max Runway Takeoff Weight divided by 100
Note
Dashes in lieu of MRTW indicate takeoff is not allowed under those specific conditions.
Limit Codes - Defines limiting factors for MRTW
C - Climb
B - Brakes
O - Obstacle
T - Tires
F - Field
V - VMCG
Note
This correction is OPTIONAL.
EXAMPLE: RW 01 - 9 knots of headwind would increase MRTW by 1170 lbs. (13 x 100 x .9) and increase
MAXV1 by 2 knots.
TW/10KT - Tailwind Correction - Reduce MRTW by the penalty value listed x 100 per 10 knots of tailwind up to a
maximum of 10 knots. Reduce MAXV1 by the penalty value listed per 10 knots of tailwind.
Note
This correction is MANDATORY.
EXAMPLE: RW 01 - 6 knots of tailwind would reduce MRTW by 2520 lbs. (-42 x 100 x .6) and reduce MAXV1
by 6 knots.
9-14
12 FEB 10
If the Takeoff Data Header does not specify FLEX, then assume the section is for a max thrust takeoff. The corrections that are
described above for FLEX are applied in the same manner for Max Thrust. Additional corrections that could also be seen are
as follows:
OAT - Outside Air Temperature (the / indicates planned OAT).
Note
If the actual OAT is greater than the highest temperature in the section, a new Takeoff Report or radio
revision is required.
STATIC Static Takeoff Correction- Increase MRTW by the value listed multiplied by 100. Increase MAXV1 by the
value listed.
EXAMPLE : RW 15 - Increase MRTW by 900 lbs (9x100), and Increase MAXV1 by 2 knots.
EAI - ENGINE ANTI-ICE ON
- Reduce N1 by value listed
- Reduce MRTW by value listed multiplied by 100.
- Reduce MAXV1 by value listed
EXAMPLE : RW 01 - Reduce N1 by .0%, reduce MRTW by 1000 lbs. (-10 x 100), reduce MAXV1 by 2 knots.
EWAI - Engine and Wing ANTI-ICE ON
- Reduce N1 by value listed
- Reduce MRTW by value listed multiplied by 100
- Reduce MAXV1 by value listed
EXAMPLE : RW 01 - Reduce N1 by .0%, reduce MRTW by 2600 lbs. (-26 x 100), reduce MAXV1 by 4 knots

Note
Contaminated data is only valid for calm wind or headwind situations. Tailwind penalties must be
applied by the Dispatcher.
Performance information for contaminated runway takeoffs are for a single OAT and no wind. The TLR is valid if the actual
OAT is at or below the listed OAT. If the actual OAT is above the listed OAT, then a new TLR must be obtained.
The reference OAT is displayed in the title of the section. The power setting for the section is displayed in the upper left
corner.
<-200>All contaminated performance data will be for STATIC takeoffs due to AFM limitations.
<-701>All contaminated performance data will be for ROLLING takeoffs due to AFM limitations.
Ice protection systems corrections will be automatically applied depending on the OAT, as noted in the section title.
The report contains two columns for each runway. The columns show a flap setting and corresponding maximum takeoff
weight for each of three levels of runway contamination. The contamination levels are described in the chart labeled
contaminant below.
As in the reduced power takeoffs, each takeoff weight is encoded with six characters (MRTW, Limit Code, and Maximum V1).
Since the data is calculated for only one temperature, the flap setting is displayed before the corresponding MRTW. The flap
setting is preceded with the F symbol. For example, F20 means Flaps 20.
Takeoff Report - Contaminated Runway Section.
Runway Contamination Levels (Takeoff)
The runway contamination shown in the Contaminated Runway Section is divided into three levels. The runway
contaminants are defined as follows:
Slush
Level 1
Up to 1/8
Up to 1/4
Up to 1
Level 2
Greater than
1/8 and up to 1/4
Greater than
1/8 and up to 1/4
Greater than
1/4 and up to 1/2
Level 3
Greater than
1/4 and up to 1/2
Greater than
1/4 and up to 1/2
Greater than
1/2 and up to 1
Example ATIS:
Wind 160 at 5 knots, 1/2 FG OVC 005 0/M1 2992. RWY 15 AND 19 IN USE. ALL RWYS COVERED WITH 1/2
SNOW.
Crew determines wet snow using the above definition, then contamination level 2 using the contamination chart. MRTW from
the Takeoff Report for RW 19 is 47,600 lbs, MAXV1 is 127 knots.

In the normal section, a line of landing data consists of temperature, power setting, MRLW (Maximum Runway Landing
Weight), and limit code. Dashes in place of MRLW or MRLW adjustment indicate that landing data is not available for the
special condition. The / symbol is used to indicate a POAT.
Limit codes are as follows:
C - Climb
B - Brakes
T - Tires
F - Field
A - Maximum AFM Chart Weight
Following the base landing data is adjustment data. Adjustments are used to modify base landing data for non-standard
configurations or conditions. Adjustment data may contain adjustments to N1 and MRLW, as required. Wind adjustments are
in terms of weight x 100 per 10 knots of wind. Adjustments are cumulative.
Adjustment abbreviations are:
TW - Tailwind
HW - Headwind
EAI - Engine Anti-Ice
EWAI - Engine and Wing Anti-Ice
ICE - Ice Accumulation
BL CL - Bleeds Closed
BL OP - Bleeds Open
N1 - Go Around N1 thrust setting.
Max runway landing weight dry runway (left column)

The Distance section display is used for presenting landing distances based on aircraft weight. The data presented is for a large
range of landing weights (LDW) above and below the planned landing weight (PLDW). Dashes in place of a distance or
distance adjustment indicate that landing data is not available for the special condition. The / symbol is used to indicate a
PLDW within the weight scale. Landing distance data is based on crossing the beginning of the available landing distance at
50 at VREF with the flaps in the landing configuration. Distance data includes both the air and ground distances from a height
of 50 feet. Below the weight scale are adjustments for factors that affect landing distance. Wind adjustments are in terms of
distance per knot of wind. Adjustments are cumulative.
MIN LDG DIST - This is the minimum landing distance when calculated using SAFO performance calculations. This is the
actual landing distance x 1.15 +500 feet.
NO THR REV CREDIT - This section will be used if landing without thrust reverse is anticipated.
THR REV CREDIT - This section will be used when the use of thrust reverser(s) is needed. If a thrust reverser is deferred the
data will be for the use of one thrust reverser.
NORMAL VIS - The visibility is SM / 4000 RVR or greater.
LOW VIS - The visibility is less than SM / 4000 RVR.
CS - Wet/Compacted Snow
SN - Dry/Loose Snow

2 TAKEOFF V-Speeds - V1, VR, V2, VFTO. V1, VR and V2 speeds are provided for both flaps 8 and flaps 20. VFTO (final
takeoff climb speed) is provided for flaps 0 and defined as the climb speed scheduled for the final takeoff climb.
Note
V1 for takeoff is the lesser of the speedbook V1 or the Takeoff Report V1 (MAXV1) for the
appropriate runway condition and aircraft condition. This condition may cause a split between V1
and VR.

Note
Make V1 and VR density altitude adjustments from the table using the temperature at which thrust
will be set (use the assumed temperature if making a FLEX takeoff).
EXAMPLE : OAT 20C, pressure altitude 4000, flaps 20, V1 and VR will be increased by 3 knots (V1, VR 136 +
3 = 139).

EXAMPLE : Pressure altitude 4000, Flaps 20, V1, VR, V2 will be increased by 1 knot (adjusted V1, VR 139 + 1 =
140, V2 142 + 1 = 143).

Any amount of reduced thrust for takeoff is desirable to reduce engine wear and minimize the likelihood of an engine failure.
The greatest benefit is realized in the first 5% of thrust reduction, as this brings peak ITT out of the most critical range,
although thrust reduction in excess of 5% is still of considerable benefit. The assumed temperature method is used to calculate
reduced thrust.
The following limitations apply to reduced thrust takeoff:
1.
2.
3.
4.
5.
6.
7.
If a FLEX takeoff is to be performed, enter the assumed temperature retrieved from the ACARS performance into the FMS.
The FMS will then determine the reduced thrust N1 and the FLX bugs will be displayed. If the ACARS is inoperative, the
assumed temperature is determined using the TLR. To determine, find the weight that is nearest to, but greater than or equal
to, your actual takeoff weight in the applicable takeoff data section. The temperature that corresponds to this weight is the
assumed temperature.
<-200 only>
If this reduced thrust N1 is equal to or greater than 83.5%, set the displayed value for takeoff. If the displayed N1 is less than
83.5%, select a lower assumed temperature until a minimum value of 83.5% is achieved.

PREFLIGHT
There are several things to be aware of when using the ACARS electronic Performance/Weight and Balance.
It is imperative that both pilots confirm all data prior to acceptance for input into the FMS
Performance and W & B requests can be made as many times as needed. For example, holding or delay vectors change
your landing weight, you simply resubmit the request and retrieve up to date numbers.
In the case of a MEL/CDL item, Aerodata's computer system will be updated automatically. Remember to check the
release with the MX Log, if it is not on the release it will not be in the Aerodata database.
V speeds will be calculated for the exact weight requested from the loading information given by the pilot. The speeds will
differ from the speed book. In the case of an inoperative ACARS or FMS, revert to the speed book and TLR for V speeds.
Note that split V1/R speeds will be a norm and additives are already applied.
Electronic Perf/W&B may be completed after push back and on taxi out. In the case of a possible CG issue, ensure there is
an area where you could park the aircraft and move people, or simply resolve the issue before push back.
At stations where there are no ACARS Remote Communications Outlets, or when the FMS is INOP you will be required to
complete a load manifest and compute the CG with the SEE GEE wheel. This may be indicated by a NO COMM
message on the ACARS.
9.8.2
TAKEOFF
To begin the ACARS Perf/Weight and Balance program, select PERF/W&B (L2) on the ACARS-PREFLT MENU. (Figure 1)
On the ACARS-PERF/W&B menu select TAKEOFF CONDITIONS (L1). (Figure 2)
As seen in Figure 3, the WIND (R1), OAT/QNH (R2), and PTOW (R3) default to zero. If the QNH and OAT are left blank,
Aerodata will retrieve the most current weather available. When Aerodata does not have a specific WX condition a message
will appear asking the pilot to input that condition. The wind will remain calm unless a pilot input is made. You must select at
least one runway, but up to three runways can be requested (L1,2,3). If you are going to use a shortened runway, you will need
to enter an ACARS alias. This can be found on the TLR under ACARS runways. It will be the runway plus the three letters
following the runway. In the example below, Runway 23 is shortened on the NE end by 920 feet. The ACARS alias would be
23/BAJ.

Input the surface conditions by selecting SURFACE (L4) on the ACARS-T/O CONDITIONS menu (Figure 3). Select the type
of condition you will encounter for the specific airport.
Selecting DRY, WET, CMPCT SNOW, or ICE (Figure 4) will bring you back to the ACARS-T/O CONDITIONS (Figure 3)
menu. The selections of STND WATER, SLUSH, DRY SNOW or WET SNOW will give you the option of levels 1, 2, or 3 as
displayed in Figure 5.
9-25
12 FEB 10
Once the level has been loaded, select RETURN (L6) (Figure 5). This will take you back to the T/O CONDITIONS menu
(Figure 3). Select A/C CONFIG (L5) to select A/I: AUTO, ENG, or ENG/WING and THRUST: NORMAL, MAX or
WINDSHEAR as shown (Figure 6 and 7). NORMAL allows Aerodata logic to determine FLEX or MAX T/O thrust; MAX
does not consider reduced thrust; WINDSHEAR results in a solution, if weight allows, that will use flaps 8 and max thrust.
Note
If desired, after entering all applicable fields, you may enter the planned takeoff weight (PTOW) and a
SEND prompt (not shown) will be selectable at R5 (see Figure 3). This allows the pilot to request
Takeoff data without completing the LOADSHEET. By utilizing this option it allows crews to plan for
expected runway assignments and gives planned V speeds before the LOADSHEET is completed.

Once the configuration has been selected you will need to press L6 (Figure 6) to return to the T/O CONDITIONS menu
(Figure 3) and select LOADSHEET (R4) as displayed in Figure 8.
Once the LOADSHEET menu is displayed (Figure 8) input the necessary information from the EX-0011 and Cabin Loading
form.
FA/ACM - The FA defaults to 1 or 2 depending on 200 or 701. In the case of a ferry flight and there are no FA's, simply
delete the number from L1. Enter /1 if there is an ACM. Note that ACM is not included in the Total Pax count.
PAX SECT A - Enter total passengers for Section A. If a possible weight or CG problem exists, select PAX DETAIL (R4
on Figure 8). This allows the pilot to enter adults and children. In the case of a CG issue, you may enter each adult or child
according to their row. This row per zone only applies to the 200 aircraft.
Once on the PAX DETAIL menu select the appropriate section and enter adults and children per row. You may also enter a
total weight for that Section in the case of a Charter. To get back to the PAX DETAIL menu select RETURN (L6) to access
another section or to go back to the LOADSHEET menu.
PAX SECT B - Enter total passengers for Section B. The PAX DETAIL for Section B will only allow you to enter Adults
and Children and not row per zone
PAX SECT C - Enter total passengers for Section C. The PAX DETAIL for Section C will only allow you to enter Adults
and Children and not row per zone
LAPS - Enter total number of lap children. This will be included in the total number of passengers but will not add
additional weight. As a reminder, lap children are not currently required to be accounted for on the load manifest or EX0011.
FOB - Enter the fuel expected at T/O. AeroData will add the planned taxi fuel in order to check for maximum taxi/ramp
weight. 8530 lbs of fuel can be entered as 85. This should be rounded to the nearest hundred. No decimal is required.
A BAGS/CGO - When entering A BAGS/CGO, select R3 which takes you to the ACARS-AFT CARGO (Figure 10) menu.
Enter the number of checked bags in L1, heavy bags in L2, carry-on bags in L3, ballast weight in L4. If you have other
such as freight or PDQ simply enter the weight in L5. Once completed select return in order to access the ACARSLOADSHEET screen.
F BAGS/CGO - This will be present for 701 aircraft only (Figure 11) and will be entered in the same manner as the A
BAGS/CGO field.
Note that the CHECKED BAGS field for the FWD CARGO (701) and AFT CARGO compartments have empty boxes. This
means that it is a required field. If no checked bags are carried then you must select zero (R5, Figure 8).
9-27
12 FEB 10
Selecting SEND will take you to TAKEOFF DATA page 1 of 5 (Figure 12) after about 20 to 40 seconds. Takeoff data or an
error message will be displayed. Once you receive the results, page 1 will display weather, passengers, cargo weights, FOB,
etc.
Page 2 (Figure 13) will give you any remarks related to the flight. This may include but is not limited to; MEL/CDL items,
contaminated runway level, or simply NO TAKEOFF DATA AVAIL. Contact Dispatch if this message persists.
Pages 3, 4, and 5 are data pages for the runway(s) that you entered (Figure 14). Displayed at the top of each page will be the
runway, runway length, runway shift, (runway shift is the amount in feet the runway was shortened-for example an intersection
departure) type of takeoff, and Simple engine failure procedures. Simple and Complex engine failures procedures will still be
found on the TLR. Below the runway information is Weight and Balance calculations displayed for takeoff such as FLEX
(dashed if no flex), FLAP setting, TRIM setting, Weights, V1, VR, V2, VFTO (VFTO is the same as VT), and FRA.
In the case of any violation, such as a ramp weight or a MRTW exceedance, a message will appear.

LANDING.
When using the ACARS for landing, start on the ACARS-PERF/W&B menu (As seen in Figure 2). Select LANDING
CONDITIONS (R1). This will take you to the L/D CONDITIONS page 1 (Figure 15). Enter the required info such as
AIRPORT (L1), RUNWAY(s) (L2, 3) (you can select up to two runways), SURFACE conditions (L4), BRK ACTION RPT as
reported (L5). WIND (R1), and OAT/ QNH (R2) are optional. Again, Aerodata will use actual OAT and QNH. WIND will
remain calm unless actual wind is entered by the crew. Zero Fuel Weight (ZFW, R3) and Estimated Fuel on Arrival (EFOA,
R4) will be automatically generated based on FOB from the FMS. This number accounts for taxi and enroute burn, it can be
manually updated by the crew during flight.
Landing SURFACE conditions (Figure 17) will be entered in the same manner as in the T/O Surface conditions.
LD-CONDITIONS, Page 2 (Figure 16). ANTI-ICE-Enter appropriate configuration (L1). ICE-ACCUM (L2). VISIBILITYDependent on whether visibility is expected to be below 4000 RVR or statute mile (L3). THRST REVERSER CREDIT- For
thrust reverser credit, consider equipment malfunctions and/or meteorological conditions that may negate the use of reverse
thrust.
Once all landing fields have been entered and/or verified to be correct, use RETURN (L6) to go back to LD-CONDITIONS
Page 1 (Figure 14) and select SEND (R5). After 20 to 40 seconds either landing results or an error message will be displayed.
Page 1 will display flight number, LDW, time and weather (Figure 18).
Page 2 will show any remarks for the flight (Figure 19).
Pages 3 and 4 are the data pages for the runway(s) that you entered. (Figure 20) Displayed at the top of each page will be the
runway, runway length, and runway slope. Below this will be your calculated landing data such as the FLAP setting, Vref,
V2GA, VFTO, max landing weight, quick turn weight and time and landing distances.
Actual Landing Distance is the landing distance for the reported meteorological and runway surface conditions, airplane
weight, airplane configuration, approach speed and ground deceleration devices planned to be used for the landing. It does not
include any safety margin and represents the best performance the airplane is capable of for the conditions. Runway slope and
temperature are not considered in this calculation. This is the landing distance that will be found on the aircraft speed cards.
Landing Safety Margin is a prescribed additive to actual landing distance based on current runway conditions.
Minimum Landing Runway Length is the actual landing distance plus the landing safety margin additive.
Factored Landing Distance is the landing distance required by 14 CFR part 25, section 25.125 increased by the preflight
planning safety margin additives required by the applicable operating rules. This is the landing distance that is listed on the
TLR to be used if ACARS is unavailable.
Note
Except under emergency conditions flight crews should not attempt to land on runways that do not
meet the MIN LDG RWY LEN provided by ACARS, or TLR if ACARS is not available.
9-29
12 FEB 10
WARNING
ACARS will display landing data any time ACTUAL LDG DIST is within the available runway
length. Make sure MIN LDG RWY LEN does not exceed the available runway length. Dashes
will only appear if ACTUAL LDG DIST exceeds available runway length.

COST INDEXING.
Cost Indexing is a method used to determine the aircraft speeds and cruising altitudes that will produce the least overall trip
cost. This method balances the costs of time and the cost of fuel. The Cost Index (CI) Speed will sometimes be referred to as
the Econ speed.
Note
It is important to note that the CI speeds may not always result in the least fuel burn on a given trip,
but are intended to provide the least total cost of the trip when considering all expenses.
Note
Not all flights will be dispatched using Cost Indexing. Look at the CRUISE speed on the release; fly
the published cruise speed if it is listed. If either CI001 or CI000 is listed use ACARS to
determine cruise speed; reference the Econ Speed Table in the TLR if ACARS is inoperative. Do not
use the Econ Speed Table unless CI001 or CI000 is on the release.
Note
Fuel load is based on flying Econ speeds. When CI001 or CI000 is not on the release, fuel load is
based on standard cruise speeds.
There are two elements of Cost Indexing. Dispatch uses Planned CI and pilots normally use Dynamic CI. Planned Cost
Indexing bases cruise altitude and cruise speed on forecast conditions. Pilots will use Planned CI in flight only when ACARS
is not available. Dynamic Cost Indexing utilizes ACARS to update the Planned CI and provide optimum altitudes and
airspeeds using real-time weather and aircraft conditions.
Planned Cost Indexing.
The flight release will have a Cost Index number which appears below the fuel schedule, followed by a COST INDEX-ECON
SPEEDS speed table. The sample release below shows a CI value of 19; this is the CI number that will be entered into
ACARS.

Utilizing these real-time numbers, AeroData will recompute the CI / Econ speeds and transmit them to the aircraft.
Econ Speed page details. (See Figures 21, 22, and 23)
TGT ALT (L1 key) - This is the target altitude (planned cruise altitude). It is a mandatory entry.
OPT/MAX - Optimum Flight Level / Maximum Flight Level for the current conditions and aircraft weight. Optimum flight
level is the minimum cost altitude for the current conditions. Maximum Flight Level is the highest altitude that ensures
minimum climb capabilities, and ensures low and high-speed margin requirements are met. Generated data.
STEP (R1 key) - Step Flight Level can be used for cost comparison purposes. Optional entry.
WIND (L2 key) - Wind direction and speed as calculated by the FMS. No entry allowed or required.
TGT N1 - Target N1 setting to achieve the Cost Indexing / Econ Speed displayed. Generated data.
WIND (R2 key) - Wind direction and speed for comparison only. This is the wind for the step altitude. Optional entry.
GWT - Current aircraft weight: appears after ZFW and FUEL are entered on the PERF INIT page. Generated data.

Performance
ACARS Performance/Weight and Balance
SPEED - Econ Speed (KIAS/Mach) to be flown during the current phase of flight (climb/cruise/descent). Note: If using CI
speeds, ensure that the CI speeds have been entered in the appropriate FMS VNAV pages to ensure accurate FMS calculations.
Generated data
SAVINGS - Cost savings realized (positive number) or additional cost incurred (negative number) by flying at the step altitude
compared to flying at the current cruise altitude. Generated data.
CI (L4 key) - Cost Index value of the flight. This value is typically obtained from the flight release, but can be modified at any
time. Mandatory entry. Valid entry is 0 - 999.
HOLDING - Econ Holding Speed (KIAS). When given holding instructions, crew must enter altitude in TGT ALT (L1) then
UPDATE (R4) for accurate Econ holding speed. Note: Use Econ hold speed, or current Vref +30 Kts., whichever is higher.
Generated data.
UPDATE (R4 key) - Time of the last data uplink. Select (R4) to request a manual update at any time.
SYSTEM MESSAGE - Messages related to system function and crew inputs.
Econ Speed Pages by Phase of Flight.
Press (L5) to access the ECON SPEED page.
To enable system functionality, enter the planned cruise altitude at (L1) and the Cost Index value (from the dispatch release) at
(L4).
No information displayed. Climb speed is assumed to be 250 KIAS.
If target altitude is changed during climb, the new altitude should be entered at (L1) and then an updated Econ Speed
requested by pressing (R4).
A new update will be received once the aircraft has been level for approximately two (2) minutes.
Once established at cruise altitude, if a change to a new cruise altitude is required, enter the new altitude at (L1) then request an
update by pressing (R4). This will return a new Econ Climb/Descent Speed after two (2) minutes.
Note
During climbout do not change TGT altitude with each level-off. Remaining at an altitude for 2 min
will cause cruise information for that altitude to be displayed; once a climb is re-initiated, climb data is
displayed once again.
Example: ATC gives you an intermediate level-off at FL280 during your climb to FL310. After 2 minutes ECON CRZ screen
appears with a cruise speed for FL280. When climb to FL310 resumes, a new climb speed will be displayed.
9-33
12 FEB 10
Once established at cruise altitude, the STEP altitude cost comparison function becomes available. To determine the
difference in cost between the current altitude and a proposed altitude, entered the proposed altitude at (R1) and then request
an update by pressing (R4).
You may also input wind direction and speed for the step altitude. If these are not entered, the calculations are made using
winds at current altitude.
Potential costs savings (positive number), or additional costs (negative number) which would occur if you moved to the STEP
altitude will be displayed beside the (R3) key under SAVINGS.
When descending below the TGT ALT, the system assumes a descent to the airport, and will automatically update TGT ALT to
FL100 and request an update for the Econ Descent Speed. Holding speed is calculated for FL100; if holding at a different
altitude, enter the altitude in (L1) and manually request an update.
Messages related to system function and crew inputs are displayed on this line.

Chapter 3 Limitations
Limitations are combined in Chapter 3. Unless noted by <-200> or <-701>, limitations apply to both aircraft. Some
limitations have been modified from the AFM limits to promote commonality.
10.2
When checking aircraft status, there is no need to verify nose gear door (mechanical) and APU exhaust area. (page 4b-9)
There are only 2 circuit breaker panels in the cockpit. (page 4b-9)
The SLATS/FLAPS lever replaces the FLAPS lever. (page 4b-9)
The EMER FLAP switch is unique to the -701. (page 4b-9)
When checking battery voltage, note that the CHARGER messages may be displayed. (page 4b-9)
The FIRE TEST and APU start sequence are different (page 4b-10 and page 4b-10)
There is no need to confirm nose gear area is clear and the nose gear door has been omitted from the check.
The oxygen blowout plug is located on the left forward fuselage. (page 4b-13)
There is no need to confirm the nose door status.
ADG Safety Pin...Removed check and bay maintenance light added. (page 4b-14)
Nose door switch omitted.
Dust cover check removed from main gear.
Slats added to leading edge check. (page 4b-14 and page 4b-15)
No Cowl Anti-Ice blowout plugs.
Differences
Chapter 4b Normal Procedures <-701>
No need to insert OAT on PERF page, only AT (assumed temperature) if FLEX is planned. (page 4b-29)
ANTI-SKID Test is omitted from Before Start Check (FFD only)

While there are a number of different methods to accomplish tasks on the Rockwell Collins 4200 FMS, the following outlines
two options of navigating directly to a waypoint.
Option 1, using DIR key:
Push the DIR key to show the ACT DIRECT-TO page. This brings up a list of current flight plan waypoints.
Push the line select key next to the identifier of the waypoint that you intend to fly Direct-To.
Verify the flight plan change on the MFD and CDU, then push the EXEC key to execute the modified flight plan.
Option 2, using the LEGS page:
Push the LEGS key to show the ACT/MOD LEGS page.
Enter the waypoint into the scratchpad by either pushing the line select key next to the identifier of the waypoint that you
intend to fly Direct-To, or by manually entering the waypoint identifier with the keypad.
Push the line select key next to the current TO waypoint (shown in magenta on ACT/MOD LEGS page 1) to move the
waypoint from the scratchpad to the TO waypoint display line.
Verify the flight plan change on the MFD and CDU, then push the EXEC key to execute the modified flight plan.
11.2
The Rockwell Collins 4200 Series FMS can only navigate TO waypoints. If a clearance is received with something other than
a Course TO, the user will need to tell the FMS the actual Course TO in order for the FMS to process the data.
Example: The following is a clearance to track inbound towards a VOR.
Clearance: Bluestreak 447 intercept and track inbound on the 246 degree radial from the XYZ VOR.
Push the LEGS key to show the ACT/MOD LEGS page.
Enter a waypoint into the scratchpad by either pushing the line select key next to the identifier of the waypoint that you
intend to intercept the radial to, or by manually entering the waypoint identifier with the keypad. (XYZ VOR for this
example)
Push the line select key next to the current TO waypoint (shown in magenta on ACT/MOD LEGS page 1) to move the
waypoint from the scratchpad to the TO waypoint display line.
At this point, the bottom right of the CDU will show INTC CRS in white-this is the Course TO the waypoint from your
present position. Enter the reciprocal of the radial to be intercepted in the INTC CRS field using the Alpha-Numeric
keypad. (066 degrees would be entered as the Course TO as it is the reciprocal of the 246 degree radial for this example.)
Verify the flight plan change on the MFD and CDU, then push the EXEC key to execute the modified flight plan.
11.3
In order to track outbound on an assigned radial the FMS must have a defined end point to track towards. In order to track
outbound see PLACE BEARING/DISTANCE in the User Defined Waypoints section (11.5).
12 FEB 10
11.4
Flyover Waypoints
Some RNAV procedures contain flyover waypoints. As the name implies, pilots must fly over these waypoints before
turning versus allowing the aircraft to lead the turn prior to the waypoint. This is accomplished by adding /0 (slash zero) to a
waypoint name in the FMS. The map will show the waypoint with an arrow after it, pointing to the subsequent route reflecting
that the point will be flown over before a turn on course is initiated. If a flyover is no longer necessary, pilots must delete and
re-enter the waypoint (minus the /0 suffix) and execute the route change.
11.5
User defined waypoints are specific navigation points created by the user. These points are created by the crew and entered
into the LEGS page. The FMS will track directly to these waypoints in the order in which they appear on the legs page. User
defined waypoints will also allow the FMS to track outbound from a VOR, intersection, or specified waypoint for a given
distance.
You can define a waypoint in one of four ways:
PLACE BRG/DISTANCE-A waypoint defined as a bearing and distance from another waypoint.
Along-Track offset-A waypoint offset a specified distance that either precedes or follows a specified existing waypoint on
your flight plan route.
PLACE BRG/PLACE BRG-A waypoint defined as the intersection created by bearings from two different waypoints.
LATITUDE and LONGITUDE-A waypoint defined by latitude and longitude.
11.5.1 Place Bearing/Distance waypoints: These will allow the FMS to track outbound from any waypoint
on a certain bearing or Radial-From a station. It is most commonly used when given a radial to track outbound from a VOR.
To create a PLACE BEARING/DISTANCE waypoint use the following format: [IDENT][BRG]/[DIST].
Example: The following is a clearance to track outbound on the XYZ VOR.
Clearance: Bluestreak 447 cleared direct to the XYZ 150 degree radial, 35 mile fix, then
This fix would be entered in the scratchpad as: XYZ150/35.
Once entered in the scratchpad, push the line select key in the location in the flight plan where the waypoint is to be entered.
Verify the flight plan change on the MFD and CDU, then push the EXEC key to execute the modified flight plan.
11.5.2 Along-Track Offset waypoints: These are most commonly used when an altitude restriction is given for
a certain distance from a flight plan waypoint.
To create an Along-Track Offset waypoint use the following format: [IDENT]/[DIST]. When entering the distance a positive
number is down-track from the flight plan waypoint being used and a negative number is before the flight plan waypoint being
used.
Example: When tracking east towards the XYZ VOR, the following clearance is given.
Clearance: Bluestreak 447 cross 30 miles west of the XYZ VOR at 11,000 feet.
This would be entered in the scratchpad as: XYZ/-30.
Place the fix into the LEGS page prior to XYZ .
Verify the flight plan change on the MFD and CDU, then push the EXEC key to execute the modified flight plan.
11-3
12 FEB 10
11.5.3 PLACE BRG/PLACE BRG waypoints: These are most commonly used when a flight plan exists
where two airway routes join together at a certain point.
To create a PLACE BRG/PLACE BRG waypoint use the following format: [IDENT][BRG]/[IDENT][BRG].
Example: The following clearance is given which joins to Jet routes.
Clearance: Bluestreak 447 Direct XYZ, Jet 431 to join Jet 293 to QRS as filed.
Assume for the example that J431 follows the 090 degree radial from XYZ VOR and that J293 follows the 300 degree
radial to the QRS VOR. To create this point it would be entered into the scratchpad as: XYZ090/QRS300.
Once entered in the scratchpad, push the line select key in the location in the flight plan following XYZ.
Verify the flight plan change on the MFD and CDU, then push the EXEC key to execute the modified flight plan.
11.5.4 LATITUDE and LONGITUDE waypoints: These will allow the crew to enter a waypoint based on
Latitude and Longitude coordinates.
To create a LATITUDE and LONGITUDE waypoint use the following format:
[NDDMM.MM WDDDMM.MM] where N & W=hemisphere, D=degrees, and M=minutes. The hemisphere designation must
always precede the coordinates, and coordinates are entered using a standard of six (for latitude) and seven (for longitude)
digits. The minutes entry range is from 00.00 to 59.99.
Note that there are no spaces in the entry.
Example: The following clearance is given to a Latitude/Longitude waypoint.
Clearance: Bluestreak 447 cleared to a Latitude/Longitude point of 39 degrees, 58.05 minutes North and 076 degrees, 37.1
minutes West.
This would be entered in the scratchpad as: N3958.05W07637.10
Once entered in the scratchpad, push the line select key in the location in the flight plan where the waypoint is to be
entered.
Verify the flight plan change on the MFD and CDU, then push the EXEC key to execute the modified flight plan.
11.6
Holding
A flight plan can have up to six holds. Each hold can be set up at a waypoint on the flight plan, at a waypoint off the flight
plan, or at the airplane's present position. A hold can be defined with an inbound course and turn direction, or a quadrant and
a radial, either from a navaid or from the point on which the hold is defined.
For all Holds the FMS defaults to holding inbound on the present course. If you require another course enter the course TO or
radial into the appropriate field. The FMS will default to Right hand turns, if the clearance requires left turns, an L must be
entered after the '/' in the INBND CRS/DIR field. Leg time will default to 60 or 90 seconds based on altitude. You may enter
an alternate LEG TIME or LEG DIST in either field. It is recommended to enter an EFC time on the HOLD page to provide a
reminder to the crew. If the time expires the FMS will continue the hold but will display a HOLD EFC EXPIRED message on
the CDU.
12 FEB 10
If the airplane is already on the inbound turn or inbound leg of the hold, the FMS will steer the airplane along the existing
holding track to exit the hold.
If the airplane is on the outbound turn, the FMS will continue the turn through the outbound leg heading and back to the
holding fix.
If the airplane is on the outbound leg of the hold, the FMS will start an immediate turn to the inbound leg to exit the hold
11-5
12 FEB 10
If an outbound turn is in progress, the FMS will complete the turn to the outbound leg and continue the hold.
If an inbound turn is in progress, the FMS will complete the turn to the inbound leg and continue the hold.
If the airplane is on the inbound leg, the FMS will continue the hold as if exit was never selected.
11.7
Approaches
Approaches are selected from the APPR or VISUAL columns on the ARRIVAL page. Select the ARRIVAL page with the
DEP ARR key or with the appropriate ARR line key on the DEP/ARR INDEX page. Both visual and instrument approaches
can be selected from the ARRIVAL page.
11.8
Note
In many cases the departure transition is based on specific runway to be used and waypoints will not
appear until a runway is selected.
Verify the flight plan change on the MFD and on the CDU, then push the EXEC key to execute the modified flight plan.
Go to ACT LEGS page by pressing LEGS button and ensure all waypoints and runway selection are correct.
11.8.2 Setting up the FMS for a Standard Terminal Arrival Route (STAR).
To select a STAR, transition route (if applicable) and approach:
Push the DEP ARR key to show the ARRIVAL page. If the aircraft has not yet reached the halfway point of the flight the
DEP ARR key will need to be pushed a second time to show the ARRIVAL page.
Push the left side line key next to the applicable STAR.
Push the left side line key next to planned transition route.
Verify the flight plan change on the MFD and on the CDU, then push the EXEC key to execute the modified flight plan.
Go to ACT LEGS page by pressing LEGS button and ensure all waypoints and approach/runway selection are correct.
Note
In some cases the full transition route will not appear unless an approach/runway is selected.
