Question

Volcanic Ash

Answer 1

• Avoid by routing upwind side of the volcano • Entering the ash cloud: - Smoke or dust in the cockpit - Acrid odour similar to electrical smoke - Engine malfunction, rising EGT - St Elmo fire, bright white or orange glow in engine inlets, sharp beams from landing lights at night • Procedure in the QRH: - 180 ° turn - Protect the engines: . A/THR OFF . Decrease engines thrust . Maximize engine bleed (packs high, Wing&Engine AI) - Protect Crew and passengers: . Oxygen masks ON/100% . Oxygen for passengers, consider • Flight parameters: - Monitor EGT and fuel flow - Monitor and crosscheck IAS • Consider a diversion to the nearest appropriate airport

Answer 2

``` • VMC: Land at the nearest suitable airport • IMC: - Try blind transmissions - Continue to destination - Fly over airport NDB - Commence descent at Flight Plan ETA - Do the Instrument Approach Procedure - Land within 30 minutes ```

Answer 3

• Threats are classified into three categories: - Green, no extra precautions required - Amber, related to one or more targets with a doubt about its credibility or effectiveness of countermeasures - Red, danger to aircraft, people or airport activities and therefore merits specific countermeasures * Warnings made against aircraft on the ground, assessed as Red or Amber may justify a variety of countermeasures including disembarkation of crew and passengers, offloading of cargo/baggage/mail,screening of passengers and cargo, securitysearches, etc * Clear model - Fly to the closest alternate airport: - Select MMO - Descend to decrease pressure differential - Call for QRH paper Check list • Explosion: - Emergency descent - Reduce speed - Damage assessment to the aircraft AP OFF in Landing Configuration at different speeds

Answer 4

* Cancel the Approach or Go Around Flaps (FCU altitude) * Aircraft able to maintain level (below LRC ceiling): No need to disconnect the A/THR * Above LRC ceiling do the memory items

Answer 5

• Damage if: - High vibration prior to engine stopped - Loud noise - Stall- N1 at 0 - EGT, N1 exceedence - ENG SD Page, N2 at 0 • If no damage talk to engineering before restarting the engine

Answer 6

• Assess the Threat Level: - Level 1 Disruptive Behaviour - Level 2 Physically Abusive Behaviour - Level 3 Life Threatening Behaviour - Level 4 Attempted or Actual Breach of the Flight Deck • Captain and CC should consider following responses: - Verbal Warning - Written Warning - Request police - Restraint - Diversion to nearest airport - Witnesses • Thoughts: - Aircraft door: If still open, coordinate with Ground Staff - Purser: "what do you want to do? what is the safest? I fully support you!" - Public Address: "ladies and gents, we have a pax that won't sit down, if he doesn't follow the CC instructions, we will have to go back to the gate"

Answer 7

* Alert KA Security and or the Airport Services Manager / Manager on Duty * Part A Chapter 10: - After 5 minutes, Captain must make a PA to inform the passengers that they are required to disembark. - 15 minutes later, liaise with KA Security and the ASM/MOD for police to meet the aircraft, Captain makes another PA to inform the passengers that they are required to disembark - When police arrives, Liaise with KA Security and/or MOD/ASM for police assistance in off-loading the passengers

Answer 8

* "I MUST COME TO THE COCKPIT IMMEDIATELY" Serves to inform the cockpit that Cabin in under duress * Flight Crew actions: - Lock the cockpit door using the dead bolt - Declare an emergency - Squawk 7500 - Send ACARS ’75 MSG’ to IOC - Divert to the nearest suitable airfield - Update IOC with details of the event in progress - Prepare for possible rapid descent - Monitor 121.5 and prepare for interception by military jet - After landing, push fire switches and disconnect IDGs • ATC Communication : - ONGOING ATTEMPTED HIJACKING,Crew in control of the aircraft - HIJACKING,Hijackers are in control of the aircraft (inside the cockpit)

Answer 9

* Ground Staff: "Stop Pushback hold position" * Set Parking Brake * Cabin Crew at stations * Emergency evacuation Check list * Talk to ATC and request fire services

Answer 10

* Only Red Warning ECAM actions are carried out prior to flap retraction, 400 ft mini * ENG FAILURE WITHOUT DAMAGE: Stop ECAM at the ENG 1(2) RELIGHT action line * ENG FAILURE WITH DAMAGE or ENG FIRE: Continue to the boxed ENG 1(2) SHUT DOWN message, engine secured * ECAM actions can be interrupted for less critical failures to allow both pilots to monitor normal operational requirements

Answer 11

Yes, Under exceptional | circumstances, the flight crew may disregard the 15 % margin on the in-flight landing distance

Answer 12

Around 400 ft/min

Answer 13

* IR Fault light flashing, ATT can be recovered | * IR Fault light steady, the IR is totally lost

Answer 14

* Amber, consider seriousness of the situation and selection of a suitable airport * Red, land at nearest suitable airport where a safe approach and landing can be made

Answer 15

- Wind direction to position the aircraft in order to keep the fire away from the fuselage ‐ Evacuating on the runway ‐ Vacating the runway as soon as possible ‐ Communicating intentions or requests to ATC

Answer 16

• Blue Beta target replaces the yellow sideslip indication when: - 1 Engine failed - EPR on remaining engine is above 1.25 EPR - Flap lever not at 0 • Compromise between: - Drag produced by deflection of control surfaces and - Airframe drag produced by a slight sideslip • Centering the beta target produces less total drag than centering a conventional ball as rudder deflection, aileron deflection, spoiler deployment and aircraft body angle are all taken into account

Answer 17

``` • Standard strategy, - M .78/300kt for descent - When V/S < 500 ft/min, select V/S -500 ft/min and A/THR on • Obstacle strategy, - GD on descent - LRC speed when clear of obstacle ```

Answer 18

Check Maximum weight in QRH ABN-19.11A CIRCLING APPROACH WITH ONE ENGINE INOPERATIVE • Below that weight fly Approach CONF 3 Landing Gear extended Landing CONF FULL • Above that weight fly Approach CONF 3 Landing Gear retracted Landing CONF 3

Answer 19

750 ft RA, warning "L/G NOT DOWN" | 500 ft RA, warning "TOO LOW GEAR"

Answer 20

• Briefing should include a review of thrust reverser status and handling technique • If 1 reverser is operative, select reverse thrust on both engines • If no reversers are operative, do not select reverse thrust

Answer 21

• Apply smooth sidestick input and limit bank angle to 15° • Avoid using the speedbrakes • If damage is severe, it may be necessary to use abnormal flying techniques to maintain control of the aircraft: - Roll can be compensated by . Rudder input . Asymmetrical thrust

Answer 22

• On Ground, cargo door open: - Order ground crew to investigate • In Flight - LAND ASAP Red - After landing, don't open affected cargo door before passengers have disembarked and fire services are present • Smoke detectors are sensitive to extinguishing agent, SMOKE FWD (AFT) CARGO SMOKE warning will probably remain even if fire is out

Answer 23

• Fuel checks must be done when sequencing a waypoint and at least every 60 min. A discrepancy should alert the crew and be investigated • QRH checklist FUEL LEAK - If leak is identified as coming from an engine, fuel leak is isolated shutting down affected engine, cross-feed valve may be used - If leak is not from an engine or cannot be located, it is imperative that the cross-feed valve is not opened

Answer 24

• QRH FPE-IFL Flight Controls: - Flaps 3 - VAPP= VLS + 10 + max (5 and 1/3 Headwind) • Procedure, established on Approach vertical profile: - Flaps 3 must be extended first - Gear Down, Direct Law, use manual Pitch Trim

Answer 25

* Disconnect only when engine is running at or above idle | * Maintain p/b not more than 3s until GEN Fault light ON
