I thought I would start a quiz of EICAS messages. To start, here is a simple message. Try to define the condition in which you will see this message, and what action the crew should take.Our answers should help educate and become a useful reference for others.Have fun, Richard

Richard,>IRS MOTION AdvisoryMeaning - Excessive airplane motion detected duringalignmentAcion - should stop the airplane moving - apply the parking brake, reset the IRS switches & then recommence a full alignment process.Steve Bell

Next one:>FLT CONT VLVSOver to you :-)Steve Bell

FLT CONT VLVSOne or more flight control valves remains closed when commanded open.No hydraulic fluid is getting to the flight controls. Due to redundant hyd supplies - no immediate action required. Awareness only. Possible further degridation and problems will develope if another hyd system is lost. (total 8 valves, and 8 switches).Guess I learn something new everyday :) I dont think this is simulated? >ELEC SSB OPEN - I have no idea what that means ??

>ELEC SSB OPENAdvisorySSB open whencommanded closed.Action - not too sure LOL>CONFIG STABSteve Bell

CONFIG STAB Warning,Aural Siren, Master warning Light Condition :Stabilizer not within greenband when airplane on the ground, airspeed less than V1 three or more Fuel Control switches in RUN, and engine 2 or 3 thrust in takeoff range.Action - abort takeoff check stab trimChris Makris

Lads,I had hoped that we could restrict each thread to a single message so that over time each would grow within its EICAS message. Through unrestricted enthusiasm, we now have several messages in the same thread (what else should I have expected? LOL!).Nice tries. I have learnt that it is probably not such a good idea.Cheers, R

Rich-nice idea. ;-)I've got one you see rarely- but most often in the sim during a checkride:>PF BRAIN LOGIC DISC:-)

Robert,Someone recently said that "it's like trying to herd cats". LOL!Cheers, R
