How should the ground altimetry check be performed?
The elevation for your current bay should be obtained from the aerodrome charts. Compare this to the altimeters set with QNH. Both PFD must be within 60’ of the elevation (more than 60 but up to 75, one sector can be flown). Maximum difference between PFDs is 20’. Maximum difference between PFD and ISIS/STBY is 100/300.
What is the latest point you can be established on the vertical path on approach?
The FAF
When conducting an approach in selected mode (eg FPA), what is the maximum FPA that may be flown?
–4°
What is the JQ aircraft separation guide distances?
10/10/1
10 mins, 10 nm, 1(000) feet
What are the aircraft light requirements in class G and class E airspace?
Landing lights ON
In a low visibility scenario or any situation where you cannot see the whole runway length at a non-towered aerdodrome, what can you do to ensure the runway is clear?
Backtrack the whole runway.
What are the speed limits when operating at a non-towered aerodrome?
(Arrival and departure)
Arrival: within 10nm max speed is clean green dot
Departure: max speed is clean green dot until above the MSA
What is the NADP2 technique?
800/800 then green dot plus 10 kts up to 3000’ HAA
From an AWIS, how can we determine what constitutes HEAVY rain and what performance calculation is required to land in that case?
2ml or greater in the last 10 mins. Must do a landing calculation for RWYCC 2.
When is the earliest time to obtain a QNH for an instrument approach at a CTAF?
15 minutes before landing
What is the RAISE model?
Relay information
Ask a question
I think we should…
Solution statement
Emergency statement
How is ATIS/AWIS information independently verified?
By listening to it separately.
What is the general policy for use of brake fans?
Departure: after pushback, if you see the wheel green arc come on, turn them on, and turn them off for takeoff.
Arrival: 5 mins or arriving on to the bay, whichever is first.
What is my initial landing wind/distance limits for being PF?
30 knots normally.
20 knots until finished 2 cyclics, 12 months line ops, and the max crosswind sim training.
Maximum 1700m LDA.
What reverse usage is required on WET runways?
Full reverse.
What are the sterile flight deck times (departure and arrival)?
Departure: last door closed until seatbelt sign off.
Arrival: transition until on the bay.
What are the altitude limitations in RVSM airspace?
- Don’t overshoot assigned altitude by more than 150’
- Every hour, a cross check of the altimeters should have 2 within 200’
- Any altitude reading an error of more than 300’ results in negative RVSM
- Airbus specifies a lower difference between altimeters of as low as 130’ depending on which ones are being compared
If required, how low below minimum manoeuvring speed can you go?
- 10 kts
When must the EFB be stowed?
From takeoff to 400’ and then 400’ to taxi speed or 400’ following a go around
How long after APU AVAIL can you turn on APU BLEED?
3 minutes
What vis and cloud ceiling must the PF be the CPT?
Vis within 2000m and cloud base within 200’ of minima
What needs to happen after a broken shear pin?
Engineering inspection required before the aircraft can be moved. Then it needs to go back on to the bay to have engineering sign off.
What is the lowest height you can turn after takeoff (unless following a departure procedure)?
1000’ HAA
What is the NADP2 procedure?
800/800 then green dot -0/+10 up to 3000’ HAA
