Question 3

Q

AT PUSHBACK/START CLEARANCE

Answer

A

PUSHBACK/START CLEARANCE

PUSHBACK/START CLEARANCE - OBTAIN (PM)

EXTERIOR LIGHTS

BEACON sw - ON (PF)

ATC

ATC - SET FOR OPERATION (PM)

WINDOWS AND DOORS

WINDOWS and DOORS - CHECK CLOSED (PF-PM)

THRUST LEVERS - IDLE (PF)

ACCU PRESSURE

ACCU PRESS indicator - CHECK (PF)

PARKING BRAKE AND NOSEWHEEL STEERING

If pushback is not required:
PARK BRK handle - ON (PF)
BRAKES PRESS indicator - CHECK (PF)
BEFORE START C/L - COMPLETE

While doing the Before Start Checklist, CM2 selects POSITION MONITOR page (to check IRS in NAV) and the fuel page on the ECP.

If pushback is required:
“NW STRG DISC” memo - CHECK DISPLAYED (PF)
BEFORE START C/L - COMPLETE
PARK BRK handle - OFF (PF)
When pushback is completed:
PARK BRK handle - ON (PF)
BRAKE PRESS indicator - CHECK (PF)

Question 4

Q

TAILWIND/ XWIND>20kts TAKEOFF Technique

Answer

A

TAKEOFF - ANNOUNCE

THRUST - 50% N1

SIDESTICK - FULL FORWARD

BRAKES - RELEASE

THRUST LEVERS - increase rapidly to 70% and then progressively to reach takeoff thrust by 40kts GS

At 80 kts - release sidestick gradually to be neutral at 100kts

Then, as normal takeoff

Question 5

Q

STABILIZATION HEIGHT

Answer

A

The stabilization HEIGHT is defined as one of the following:

1 000 feet AAL in IMC (PF will call “STABILISED”, or “GO AROUND/FLAPS”), or
500 feet AAL in VMC (<1000’ PF calls “VMC CORRECTING”), or
Any other height defined in Operator policies or regulations

Question 6

Q

STABILIZATION CRITERIA

Answer

A

In order for the approach to be stabilized, ALL of the following conditions must be satisfied before, or at the stabilization height:

Aircaft is on the CORRECT LATERAL and VERTICAL PATH;
+
Aircaft in the desired LANDING CONFIGURATION;
+
THRUST is stabilized, usually above idle, and the aircraft is at TARGET SPEED for approach;
+
Flight crew does NOT detect any EXCESSIVE flight parameter DEVIATION

If one of the above-mentioned conditions is not satisfied, the flight crew must initiate a go-around, unless they estimate that only small corrections are required to recover stabilized approach conditions.

Question 7

Q

EARLY STABILISED APPROACH

Answer

A

Under certain circumstances, the flight crew may decide to reduce the speed down to VAPP in the landing configuration at the FDP (i.e. approach via selected guidance, high glide path angle, low altitude intermediate approach, etc.)

-In order to obtain a valuable deceleration pseudo waypoint and to ensure a timely deceleration, set VAPP as a speed constraint at the FDP

CONFIGURATION SCHEDULE:
-Start configuring 7 NM Before FDP

Question 8

Q

DECELERATED APPROACH

Answer

A

Its the standard flying technique for: ILS, or FINAL APP guidance
This technique refers to an approach where the aircraft reaches 1000 ft in the landing configuration at VAPP. In most cases, this equates to the aircraft being in CONF 1 and at S speed at the FDP

Activate app phase 15 NM before TDZ;
CONFIGURATION SCHEDULE
-flap 1 3 NM Before FDP
-flaps 2 at 2000’ AGL
-GEAR DOWN in sequence
-flaps 3 in sequence
-flaps full in sequence
At 1000’ AGL MIN:
-VApp stable
-LDG Config

If speed selected:

S speed after Flaps 1
F Speed after Flaps 2
VApp after landing flap selection

To minimize flap wear, extend flaps when at Vfe-15 knots

Question 9

Q

What visual references are necessary at DH or MDH to land on a NPA, APV and ILS CAT 1 Operations?

Answer

A

At DH or MDH, at least one of the visual references specified below should be distinctly visible and identifiable to the pilot: A) elements of the approach lighting system B) the threshold C) the threshold markings D) the threshold lights E) the threshold identification lights F) the visual glide slope indicator G) the touchdown zone or touchdown zone markings H) the touchdown zone lights I) runway edge lights J) other visual references specified in the operations manual (AMC1 CAT.OP.MPA.305(e)) (LIDO 1.5.8.10.7)

Question 10

Q

ALTERNATE BRAKING SYSTEM CHECK

Answer

A

The purpose of this check is to verify the absence of “spongy pedals”

Y ELEC PUMP - check OFF

CHOCKS - IN PLACE

PARK BRK handle - OFF

BRAKE PEDALS - PRESS (max pressure)

(pressure must build up symmetrically. With full deflection, pressure must be within 2000 and 2700 PSI)

BRAKE PEDALS - RELEASE

PARK BRK - SET

Question 11

Q

On WET Runways (RWY surface condition GOOD), we may use IDLE REV IF:

Answer

A

-The landing performance calc was made with: MEDIUM TO POOR conditions; + NO REVERSER CREDIT

Question 12

Q

Preliminary cockpit preparation - Battery check (If aircraft has not been electrically supplied for 6 h or more)

Answer

A

Batts 1 & 2 - Check OFF;
Bat 1 & 2 V - Check above 25.5 V (Battery voltage above 25.5 V ensures a charge above 50 %.)
If above - Batts - AUTO

If voltage AT OR BELOW 25.5V:

A charging cycle is required ( approx. 20’):

Batts 1 & 2 - AUTO;
Ext PWR - ON

Check on ELEC SD page, that the battery contactor is closed and the batteries are charging.

After 20 minutes:

Batts 1 & 2 - OFF
Batts 1 & 2 Voltage - Check above 25.5V
Batts 1 & 2 pb - AUTO
