Q

Reasons to abort an engine start? If the parameters are flashing what does it mean and what system controls that?

A
  • No N1 rotation
  • No Oil pressure indication by the time the engine is stabilized at idle
  • No increase in EGT within 15 second of of raising the engine start lever to IDLE detent
  • No increase, in or a very slow increase in N1 or N2 after EGT indication
  • EGT rapidly approaching or exceeding the start limit.
  • EEC abnormal start protection activation

Contact maintrol prior to attempting a restart.

Flashing box means that the there is a rapid rise in EGT or EGT exceeds limits. This is controlled by EEC.

Q

No Bleed take off, when? Then you have an engine failure? What do you do?

A

In case of performance limitated, or in case of compressor washed reported on techlog.
Do not turn the bleed ON before 1500ft or before the minimum clearance obstacle heigth.
First memory items, then No engine bleed after takeoff checklist, then the NNC.

Go to the AOA DISAGREE NNC and go to AIRSPEED UNRELIABLE NNC.
30
FMAs after pressing TOGA on take off
N1 then THR HLD (at 84 kts) - HDG - TO/GA
31
GA FMA at 400ft
GA - LNAV - TO/GA
32
GA FMA at ALT ACQ
MCP SPD - LNAV - ALT ACQ
33
What speed is then in the MCP?
?? Flaps speed
34
Fuel leak while starting engines, procedure?
- Continue the start - If leak continues after engine stable at idle 1- Shut down and restart the engine 2- If leak continues run the engine at idle for 5 minutes. If it stops no maintenance action required 3- If leak continues beyond 5 minutes, shut down the engine and contact maintrol.
35
Bleed master caution reseteable before taxi.
If aircraft starts moving then QRH. If bofore moving then MEL. If an amber light illuminates during recall bu extinguishes after caution reset, completion of the associated checklist is not required.
36
Explain EGPWS?
GPWS provides alerts for potentially hazardous to flight conditions involving imminent impact with the ground. Based on Radio Altitude and barometric airspeed and GS deviation. EGPWS provides alerts based on an internal worldwide terrain data base.
37
ND colour display?
When 500ft ABOVE the highest: - Green => Solid green: Highest terrain => Dotted green: Intermediate or low When 500ft BELOW the highest: - RED look ahead terrain warning - AMBER look ahead terrain caution active DOTTED RED is terrain more than 2000ft above. GREEN: terrain more than 500 ft below AMBER: terrain 500ft - 2000ft above RED: terrain more than 2000ft above
38
VSD/ RTSD
Vertical Situation Display: Represents a profile view of the airplane and its environment along the current track. Range to Target Speed Dot: Indicates where the airplane will achieve th FMC or MCP target speed. (blank within 5kts, reappears if more than 10kts)
39
F/Ds on windshear? Which indication?
Maintain target speed until VS below 600fpm. Then F/D commands 15° nose up. If VS continues to decrease F/D still commands 15° nose up until stick shaker speed is reached. As the plane transits the WS condition, the F/D programing reverses. If V/S above 600fpm, F/D commands acceleration bakc to target airspeed.
40
What is BRM?
Bowed Rotor Motoring: BRM straightens the N1 and N2 rotors shaft. BRM is active for 6 to 90 seconds.
41
What is LAM? What is it for?
Landing Attitude Modifier Deploys spoiler on final to increase angle of attack and drag. It is to prevent the nose gear to strike on touchdown because the nose strut is longer than the one on the NG.
42
BLEED logic on the Max VS NG
On Max or NG BLEED LIGHT illuminates in case of over-temperature or over-pressure. On the Max, a single BLEED LIGHT illuminate for a system fault or failure. And also both lights in case of incorrect config (after 45s) after TO or GA after flaps retracted
43
MUH for the Max and NG
Minimum Use Height: Max: 111ft AGL NG: 158ft AGL 400ft after Takeoff
44
Oil pressure call on engine start. When is the limit?
by the time the engine is stabilized at idle
45
Can we use the flaps at 220kts with flaps 5 according to Boeing?
Yes max 250 kts But Boeing tell us to select speed even if within limits. Use of speedbrake with flaps extended should be avoided.
46
Volcanic Ash, why do we descend?
To reduce engine temperature and avoid formation of block of VA inside that would cause an engine failure.
47
Windshear escape manoeuver?
1- Disengage A/P 2- Press TO/GA 3- Agressively apply max thrust 4- Disengage A/T 5- Wings level and pitch up to 15° 6- Retract speedbrakes 7- Follow F/D DO NOT CHANGE CONFIGURATION
48
When do we retract the Flaps to 15 regarding WS?
Only when clear of windshear and during the transition to G/A, above VREF.
49
TCAS Symbol and manoeuver?
1- Disengage A/P and A/T 2- Adjust thrust as necessary according to the command 3- Follow the command RED SQUARE: TCAS RA (resolution advisory) 25s YELLOW CIRCLE: TCAS TA (traffic advisory) 40S WHITE LOSANGE: TCAS proximate traffic 6Nm and 1200ft vertically TRANSPARENT LOSANGE: Other traffic > 6nm and 1200ft vertically
50
Single pack, do you configure the left pack?
No the left pack switch automatically to high flow.
51
Speedbrake limitation for MAX and NG
MAX: Not below 1000ft AGL and F40 NG: Not below 1000ft AGL Should be avoided with flaps extended With F15 or greater, speedbrake should be retracted.
52
Fuel spillage?
Alert the refueller, maintain 15m around the spillage, advise ATC with location of the aircraft, disembark if spillage is significant
53
Max Flaps altitude?
FL 200
54
When do you get IAS disagree
More than 5kts for more than 5 continuous seconds
55
Tyre burst FCTM recommandation?
Continue TO to destination unless performance limited and infom ATC. No autobrake MAX, max reverse
56
What is the limitation for the speedbug on the approach?
VREF + 15 or 20
57
What types of windshear do we have? Which system, warnings and procedures do we have?
Vertical and horizontal windshear, low level windshear. GPWS: WS, WS AHEAD, GA WS AHAED, MONITOR RADAR DISPLAY WS ESCAPE MANOEUVER
58
What are the GA speed the AFDS pitch for during a GA?
Flaps manoeuver speed at MTOW
59
How can you exit the FMC on approach logic?
- Push TO/GA - airplanes land - executing a direct to waypoint on the missed approach.
60
Engine failure during landing?
GA shall be made if in IMC and below 1000ft. If in VMC and sufficient thrust => continue
61
TakeOff run 100kts, IAS DISAGREE, actions?
Below V1 => RTO Unsafe to fly
62
Common VNAV (FMA when you press SPD intv during descent and on path)
If on PATH, VNAV PTH otherwise on VNAV SPD
63
PTU? Why do we need it? LGTU how does it work?
PTU: Power Transfer Unit => Made to supply additionnal volume of hydraulic fluid needed to operate the autoslats and leading edge flaps and slats at the normal rate when system B engine driven hydraulic pump is inoperative. LGTU: Landing Gear Transfer Unit => Made to supply the volume of hydraulic fluid needed to raise the landing gear when system A engine driven pump volume is lost. System B engine driven pump supplies the volume of fluid.
64
Terrain escape manoeuver?
1. Disengage A/P and A/T 2- Aggressively apply maximum thrust 3- Wings level and pitch to 20° 4- Retract speedbrakes 5- If terrain remains a threat continue pitch to PLI (Pitch Limit Indicator) or stick shaker or initial buffet 6 - Do not change configuration 7- Monitor radio altimeter 8- When clear of terrain, slowly decrease pitch and accelerate.
65
Bird strike on takeoff.
If below 80kts, RTO If between 80kts and V1, continue If above V1 continue
