• Slats do not move any further when moving lever from flap 2 to flap 3.
• Don’t change configuration on the go around.

Question 5

WINDSHEAR reported on ATIS

Answer 5

• Captain is PF
• ## Brief the predictive (windshear ahead) and reactive windshear (windshear x3)Reactive is available in flap 1, avail for landing from 1300’-50RA, T/O 3s after lift off to 1300’.
• Predictive windshear depends on type of weather radar. Available below 1800’ / 2300’ RA, 5nm ahead.
• What are the threats of an escape maneuver? Changing configuration, Over speeding flaps, busting go-around altitude (request modified GA), forgetting
  to raise the gear.
• PM to monitor speed and v/s.
• When does the autopilot disengage? When the angle of attack value goes above Alpha prot.
• Consider delaying the approach? How long does a microburst typically last? 15 minutes
• Consider your alternates and fuel state? Can we commit to the airport?

Question 6

A380 crossing traffic too close

Answer 6

• ‘Cabin crew be seated immediately’ + Seat belt signs on
• Selected speed M. 76.
• Request diverting manoeuvre if able.
• Call CM to assess casualities.

• TCAS RA= A/P off, FD’s off, follow the green.
• PM Radio call: EZY12AB TCAS RA.
• CLEAR OF CONFLICT = select automatics and basic modes, fly back to assigned level.
• respect stall and GPWS warning

With AP TCAS:
- ‘TCAS blue, I have control’
-

Question 17

ENG 1(2) THR LEVER FAULT

Answer 17

• LAND ASAP amber.
• On Take-off = TOGA/FLEX frozen.
• When Slats zero = max THR CLB, in A/THR it regulates between IDLE and CLB.
• SLATS out = CLB in manual THR.
• CONF1 = goes to IDLE power as well for GA.
• Brief SE GA and LDG.
• If the opposite engine fails do not use flaps for ldg!
• Consider relevant items from ENG SHUT DOWN in FCOM (ENG MODE SEL IGNITION, TCAS to TA, fuel imbalance monitor fuel x-food on).

Question 25

HYD G RSVR LO LVL

Answer 25

- CAT 3 single - no autobrake - LDG Gear gravity extension - no gear retraction on GA - Don't heat up the brakes too much if possible - Ask for inspection on landing due hydraulic fluid leak

Question 26

FWS FWC 1 + 2 FAULT

Answer 26

- CAT 1 - no RVSM - no Alt alert function and no A/CALL outs - no MASTER WARNING / CAUTION or failure alerts - Use FCOM expanded checklist to handle failures - QRH reset - Scan SD and ECAM and overhead panel for possible failures WIP: See FCOM

Question 27

Tyre burst on take-off

Answer 27

- Do not raise gear - Ask ATC for debris - Calculate one brake release (QRH checklist) - Find longest runway possible being the least risk option - fuel penalty applies - do not raise the gear on G/A, consider changing standard callout.

Question 28

Gear not downlocked

Answer 28

- L/G gravity extension - Landing with abnormal L/G - Consider increased fuel burn if gear is stuck out. - Consider retracting gear after gravity extension (non-standard) - Brief CM about potential angle of aircraft on landing not to evacuate unless she can't contact us within 30s after landing - Consider holding at the FAF to save time/fuel. - prep for an emergency landing in NITS - Ask ATC to foam the runway

Question 29

ELEC EMER CONFIG

Answer 29

- CM1 assumes controls as CM2 has no screens - Loss of both APs and A/THR (thrust lock) - Press and hold ELEC status page to confirm failure - Starting APU on Batteries only at or below FL250 - MAYDAY - DIRECT LAW when gear down - N/W steering inop, think crosswind - RA 1 + 2 inop, brief pm to do auto call outs - Rat stall below 125 kts and switches to batteries - at 50 kts landing roll all screens lost (because AC ESS BUS is shed)

Question 30

Tailstrike on T/O

Answer 30

- do not switch on the packs. - level off at safe altitude - QRH checklist

Question 31

Unreliable Airspeed

Answer 31

- Memory items - Consider mayday + requesting unrestricted climb. - Use ballpark pitch + powers to level off ASAP. - FMGC GPS data page: Compare altimeters with GPS altitude. If correct, bird not affected and therefore available. - QRH UAS checklist (leads to the use of BUS) - GPS Groundspeed vs ADIRS Groundspeed gives hint on which speed might be correct (if any) for affected ADR identification. - To change config whilst flying the BUS: Extend: Go to lower part of the green. Retract: Higher part of the green.

Question 32

ENG FAIL in cruise

Answer 32

- THR LVRs to MCT - A/THR off - Select speed M.78/300kts - Set EO recovery altitude + pull OPEN DES - ECAM/OEB actions When V/S < -500 ft/min, select V/S -500 ft/min and A/THR on. Note: - REC MAX EO Cruise altitude = on MCDU PROG page. - If engine with damage, there is no chance of a restart, consider changing to Obstacle Strategy: select speed green dot.
