EXT PWR A priority

When only one external power source is available, use EXT PWR A, as EXT PWR B cannot directly power ground/fault buses without activating the entire aircraft system. Using EXT PWR B and APU GEN simultaneously is also not allowed.

EXT PWR B limitations

EXT PWR B cannot independently power the ground/fault buses; it requires the total aircraft network to be active first.

EXT PWR operation failure and GPCU

If the 'AVAIL' indicator doesn't appear (with external power connected) or if "ON/AVAIL" indicators go out while EXT PWR is operating, the GPCU (Ground Power Control Unit) protection system will trip. Use the EXT PWR to reset it.

Study Notes

Landing Gear Pins and Covers

  • Ensure the correct number of gear pins are stowed onboard.
  • The Pilot in Command (PIC) is responsible.

Engine

  • Check engine 1 and 2 master levers.
  • Check engine start selector.

Weather Radar

  • Check radar switch.
  • Check windshear/PWS switch.
  • Check gain knob.
  • Check mode selector.

Landing Gear

  • Check landing gear lever.

Wipers

  • Check both wiper selectors.

Batteries Check/External Power

  • If the aircraft hasn't had external power for 6 hours or more:
    • Check batteries 1, 2, and APU.
    • Voltage for BAT 1 and 2 and APU should be above 25.5 V.
    • This indicates a charge above 50%.
    • After the check, the selector should remain on the APU to prevent battery discharge.
