After hydraulic system pressurization.

5 / 15

Under what conditions does the SPEEDBRAKE EXTENDED EICAS message display?

After landing, if speedbrakes fail to extend.

Speedbrakes are extended and landing flaps are selected or RA is between 15 and 800 feet.

Speedbrakes are extended and the airplane is above 800 feet RA.

Any time speedbrakes are extended.

6 / 15

Which one of the following statements is false?

7 / 15

Auto speedbrakes protection is provided for which phases of flight?

Takeoff, rejected takeoff, approach and landing.

Takeoff, rejected takeoff and approach below 200 feet.

Takeoff, rejected takeoff and approach.

Takeoff, rejected takeoff and landing.

8 / 15

What causes the SPEEDNRAKE EXTENDED message to display on the EICAS?
