When is the take-off inhibit?
From 80kts to 1500’ or 2 minutes (whichever occurs first)
When can you clear the runway after an RTO?
When it is absolutely clear that:
1. An evacuation is not neccessary, and
2. It is safe to do so
What do you have to do to take off following an RTO?
- Reset both FDs
- Set FCU
- Restart SOPs from AFTER START
- Perform DEPARTURE CHANGE SOP
FLS approach degraded NAV
If the FLS capability downgrades to F-APP RAW:
- RNAV(GNSS) approaches aren’t to be conducted
- flight crew can continue to use FLS provided that radio NAVAID raw data confirms that the lateral navigation is correct
- cross check distances vs altitudes on jepp chart
Management of degraded NAV for FLS RNAV(GNSS) approaches using LNAV or LNAV/VNAV minima:
Use the other A/P F/D if:
* GPS PRIMARY LOST on on ND
* NAV ACCUR DOWNGRAD on one ND
Discontinue the approach if:
* F-APP Capability is lost
* F-LOC deviation exceeds 1 dot
* Ecam: NAV FM/GPS POS DISAGREE
For LNAV/VNAV minima:
* discontinue if F-G/S devaition exceeds 1/2 dot below F-G/S beam
EMER DESCENT
How can flight crew identify a depressurisation event:
1) A cabin altitude and rate that are excessive and not controllable
2) The triggering of CAB PR EXCESS CAB ALT
3) When all the oxygen masks drop in the cabin (triggered by independent trigger switch) (does not include partial masks dropping from mechanical failure)
Severe Turb
Severe turbulence speeds:
SIM
260 kts - up to FL200
280kts - FL200-FL330
0.76 - FL330 up
XLR
275kts - up to FL200
305kts - FL200 - up to FL290
0.76-0.78 - FL290 up
FAM 3 - safety reporting
Immediately reportable matters and Routine reportable matters
IRM - intelex within 24, IOC notified as soon as practical after occurence
RRM - intelex within 24 hours, and when indicated in table, notified to IOC as soon as practicable after the occurence
FAM 22
LAND ASAP red definition
LAND ASAP amber definition
RED - land as soon as possible at the nearest airport at which a safe landing can be made
AMBER - consider landing at the nearest CAT A, B, C that is forecast to be not below landing minima for the ETOU
AEPM
What do you expect the cabin crew to do when an alert PA is made
- Stand by their exit
- Check outside the a/c
- Be ready to act
- Report non normal conditions: in the cabin and outside the aircraft, info should be relayed to the flight deck with only 1 x communication attempt
- Maintain control of pax
- Await CPT’s instruction (cancel, evac, rapid disembarkation)
Overweight LDG
When can you land overweight?
The regs permit an overweight ldg if “an emergency exists”. Determination of emergency rests with PIC. Examples:
- Any malfunction that would render the a/c non airworthy
- Any condition or combinational of conditions (mechanical or otherwise) in which an expeditious landing would reduce exposure to additional problems which may result in a degrodation or compromise of safety
- Serious illness of crew or passengers which would require immediate medical attention
