CRJ aural warning test...

[GearUpLightsIn]

What the hell is the very first "waa waa" in the aural test for? If you hear this outside of the test what just happend?

"Oh shiite! Dere be an Obstikal! Obstikal, pull up you fool, pull up!"

hehehehehehe

Could be the stall "warbler". IT is kind of a weird sound. If you hear that in flight you most likely screwed up.

 

[skyslug]

WMU's correct...it's the stall warbler. Kinda sounds like a pac man game.

Warbler is a funny word. When I first heard someone say "Stall Warbler" in ground school I didn't believe them. Warbler sounds like a condition you get after you eat one-to-many buffalo wings with mexican beer.

I like the before start check fire detection test "Crack Pipe Overheat".

Kind of funny like GIGGITY, GIGGITY!

Stall warbler, thanks. That is what I was thinking, but outside of entertaining kids while you board I couldn't think of what it was for.

How about the GPWS test. "Whoop Whoop, Pull Out"

This one isn't funny, but "Blad air duct." Stupid french-canadian airplane.

If you push the GPWS button on the glare shield two times (well, once and then a second time once it starts talking) it goes into a sub level readout of the software status. You can have that thing talking for a good half hour. Fun stuff to do if you don't like the crew taking the airplane.

Isn't that and the overspeed cricket what the Emergency Audio Override buttons on the FO side are for?

 

[Americam]

Those buttons of which you speak are the DCU-Data Concentrator Unit buttons. (deceiving name since they only mute destracting aural warnings, not all the functions of the DCUs)

Yep, those. I couldn't remember the Canadian name for them.

It's for warning you when you are about to wreck the sim again on Friday afternoon.

At least it's not a british aircraft, I've heard they have some interesting terminology over there.

You guys have it wrong. It's the "everything is okay, keep reading the USAToday" sound.
