davidngr Posted December 28, 2011 Report Share Posted December 28, 2011 When following the BEFORE TAKE-OFF CHECK LIST procedure, I happen to read this:Light & Strobes ........................... As RequiredFuel Crossflow .......................................... OffIGNITION / ANTI-ICE ... .............. As RequiredFlight Attendant .................................. AdvisedTransponder / TCAS ........... ON / As RequiredRadar .......................................... As RequiredCAS .... ......................... Checked and ClearedBugs ... .............................................. (Review)What does CAS stand for (CALIBRATED AIR SPEED, by chance)?Then, how can I set the Fuel crossflow to Off position?

philipp Posted December 28, 2011 Report Share Posted December 28, 2011 CAS is Crew Alerting System. As in EICAS = Engine Instrument and Crew Alerting System, which is the two central displays.It means you should check the yellow warning messages on the left and the white status messages on the right EICAS display and take any messages into consideration. The Fuel crossflow switch is in the overhead panel, in the fuel panel: The center switch of the top row is the gravity crossflow (which is simulated including the influence of sideslip!!!!) and the center switch in the bottom row is the powered (pumped) crossflow. Both should be dark.Philipp 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
