2-How the PWS works?

A
  • It generates Caution or Warning alerts to predict windshear events in the proximity of the aircraft.

3- What is the difference between Caution or Warning PWS alert?

A
  • A WARNING predicts an event that is closer to the aircraft than a CAUTION alert.

Q

18- How you monitor glidepath if you encounter windshield for landing?

Study These Flashcards
A
  • Use ILS or VASI
19
Q

19- When you have to be stabilized on the approach during a landing windshear?

Study These Flashcards
A
  • No later than 1,000 ft AGL
20
Q

20- What you have to consider related to thrust during a landing windshear?

Study These Flashcards
A
  • Minimized thrust reductions.
21
Q

21- How you obtain positive terrain separation during a takeoff windshear?

Study These Flashcards
A
  • Flight at intermittent stick shaker may be needed

- Use smooth , steady controls to avoid a pitch attitude overshoot and stall

22
Q

22- What you do if you get CAUTION + “Monitor Radar Display” before V1?

Study These Flashcards
A
  • DELAY or REJECT TAKEOFF
23
Q

23- What you do if you get CAUTION + “Monitor Radar Display” above V1?

Study These Flashcards
A
  • Maneuver as required to avoid windshear

- Consider using maximum thrust

24
Q

24- What you do if you get WARNING + “WINDSHEAR AHEAD, WINDSHEAR AHEAD” before V1?

Study These Flashcards
A
  • DELAY or REJECT TAKEOFF
25
25- What you do if you get WARNING + "WINDSHEAR AHEAD, WINDSHEAR AHEAD" above V1?
- Perform the WINDSHEAR ESCAPE MANEUVER
26
26- What you do if you get WARNING + "WINDSHEAR, WINDSHEAR, WINDSHEAR" (Reactive) before V1?
- DELAY or REJECT TAKEOFF
27
27-What you do if you get WARNING + "WINDSHEAR, WINDSHEAR, WINDSHEAR"(Reactive) above V1?
- Perform the WINDSHEAR ESCAPE MANEUVER
28
28- What you do if you get Unacceptable Airspeed Deviations before V1?
- REJECT TAKEOFF
29
29- What you do if you get Unacceptable Airspeed Deviations above V1?
- Perform the WINDSHEAR ESCAPE MANEUVER | - At Vr, normal rotation to 15 degrees no later than 2,000 ft of runway remaining
30
30- What you do if you get CAUTION + "Monitor Radar Display" during approach?
- Continue the approach if able to avoid windshear, or | - GO-AROUND and maneuver to avoid windshear
31
31- What you do if you get WARNING + "WINDSHEAR AHEAD, WINDSHEAR AHEAD" during approach?
Perform either: - GO-AROUND, OR - WINDSHEAR ESCAPE MANEUVER
32
32- What you do if you get WARNING + "WINDSHEAR, WINDSHEAR, WINDSHEAR " (Reactive) during approach?
- Perform the WINDSHEAR ESCAPE MANEUVER
33
33- What you do if you get Unacceptable Airspeed or Flight Path Deviations during approach?
- Perform the WINDSHEAR ESCAPE MANEUVER
34
34- When the CAUTION + "Monitor Radar Display" is inhibited during takeoff?
- From 80 kts to 400 ft (RA)
35
35- When the WARNING + "WINDSHEAR AHEAD, WINDSHEAR AHEAD" is inhibited during takeoff?
- From 100 kts to 50 ft (RA)
36
36- When the is WARNING + "WINDSHEAR, WINDSHEAR, WINDSHEAR" (Reactive) inhibited during takeoff?
- Until rotation
37
37- Define Reactive Windshear System (RWS)?
- It is when the system identify the aircraft is in an actual windshear situation.
38
38- When the CAUTION + "Monitor Radar Display" is inhibited during approach?
- Bellow 400 ft (RA)
39
39- When the is the GO-AROUND, WINDSHEAR AHEAD inhibited during approach?
- Bellow 50 ft (RA)
40
40- What could be good examples of unacceptable flight path deviations bellow 1,000 ft AGL?
1- Greater than 15 kts indicated airspeed 2- 500 fpm vertical speed 3- 5 degrees pitch attitude 4- 1 dot displacement from glideslope 5- Unusual thrust lever position for a significant period of time
41
41- What is the immediate callout after encountering windshear?
- ESCAPE, MY AIRCRAFT
42
42- What are the actions required by the profile to escape windshear?
- Disengage the autopilot and push TOGA - Apply Maximum thrust - Disengage the autothrottle - Roll wins level and pitch 15 degrees attitude - Retract Speedbrakes - Follow the FD TOGA guidance and respect PLI - Do not change configuration - Monitor vertical speed - Do not regain airspeed until windshear is no longer a factor
43
43- After escaping windshear, what actions you take?
- Resume normal flight | - Retract gear and flaps as required
44
44- What are the PM actions during escaping windshear?
- Verify maximum thrust - Verify all needed actions are completed and call out any omissions - Monitor vertical speed and altitude - Callout any trend toward terrain contact, descending flight path, airspeed changes - After recovery issue PIREP to ATC
