8.3 Flight Procedures Flashcards
Maximum Taxi Speeds
- 50KT when Backtracking on the RWY,
- 30KT on a Taxiway,
- 15KT on the Apron,
- 10KT during turns 45 degrees or greater,
- 5KT on contaminated (or RWYCC 3 or less) RWY or Taxiways
Taxiing Surface Cautions
- On RWY as WET and OAT 0 degrees or colder,
- RWY ends,
- When crossing painted parts of RWY and TWY,
- On clearways or stopways
ATC Departure Clearance On the Ground
- Both pilots must be present,
- Using head sets
Cabin Ready and T/O Clearance
When not ready don’t accept T/O or Line Up clearance
MCP Altitude On the Ground Before Clearance
Set to expected altitude + 100FT
Enroute Navaid Selection
Not required when using RNP5
Thrust After T/O Config Alert When Returning to Stand
Don’t increase thrust above 40% N1 for maintenance
Flaps 1 Departures
Flown by Captain only
Intersection T/O
- Encouraged,
- Up to maximum thrust may be considered,
- When transferred to tower reconfirm
Low Visibility T/O Navaid Difference
Select related ILS (and Course I think)
High Speed RTO Procedures
- Ask ATC to return to stand,
- Call Maintrol and report high energy RTO,
- Don’t takeoff until released by Maintrol,
- Calculate Brake Cooling Scheudle,
- File ASR after duty
Minimum Turn Altitude
- Normally 400FT,
- If SID requires a turn below 398FT it will be mentioned,
- In no case below 59FT,
- No turns before DER unless omnidirectional or published SID used
Climb and Descent Speeds
- During climb in A, B, C airspaces, if ATC gives free speed you may increase to ECON,
- Don’t increase above 250KT if not established on inbound track to destination,
- During descent don’t increase unless instructed by ATC
Company Noise Abatement Procedure
- NADP 2: Bug up 1000FT, N1 reduction 1500FT, retract flaps, maintain up speed till 3000FT AGL,
- NADP 1: N1 reduction 1500FT, Bug up 3000FT,
- If NADP 1 not mentioned specifically (NADP A or B don’t count) use NADP 2
- May be cancelled during certain meteorological conditions
Look Out
- TCAS is not a substitute,
- Especially when flying through E, F and G airspaces it’s important,
- Consider reducing speed (220 or minimum clean) in those airspaces
Stuck Mike Protection
- Company fleet has a protection,
- After 35s continuous transmission VHF Comm reverts to receive mode
Change of Radio Frequency Inflight
- CRZ: PF changes STBY, PM responds ATC and note it to OFP, PM crosschecks and switches,
- CLB, DES: PM will do all of it
FIR Boundry Awareness
- When direct to received, take only boundry abeam points,
- If no waypoint present, create it by entering lat/long,
- Enter next boundry waypoint to FIX page
Radio Check Interval
25 minutes maximum
Enroute Weather Checking and Recording
- Company bases are preferred,
- Record enroute alternate weather only during periods of general poor weather
Mode S Transponder ATC Monitored Parameters
- Flight number,
- Current HDG, ALT and SPD selected on the MCP,
- Current V/S
Standard Speeds for the Company
- 220KT at IAF,
- 180KT at base,
- 180KT on final approach track,
- 160KT from 8 to 4NM
Direct Requests During Climb
Shall only requested when above MSA
BAT
- Barometric Pressure Setting (BPS) Advisory Tool,
- ATC tool for identifying incorrect QNH setting,
- Gives a warning when difference is more than 5mb,
- Provided by London Terminal Control Approach controllers,
- It only supports arrival aircraft at or below TL
