A

Logbook Entry When:
>150 between brakes on same gear
*and one is >600 or <60

> 900 (321 >800)

Notify Station Handlers when >500

52
Q

CBs - Green vs Black

54
Q

Flt Ctrl Computers

A

normally -
ELAC - pitch and roll (SEC - backup)
FAC - rudder

55
Q

Spoilers

A

1-5 - ground spoilers
2-4 - speed brakes
2-5 - roll assist

56
Q

Speed Brakes

A

320 - limited to 1/2 with AP on
319/321 - can use full with AP on

319/320 (321) - retract brakes before Flaps Full (3) to avoid unexpected pitch down when automatic retraction occurs.

When speed brakes deployed Flaps extension beyond 1 may induce slight temp roll moment.

57
Q

Non-Precision Approaches with OEI

A

OEI RNAV(GPS) - must be hand flown.

OEI VOR or NDB - hand flown OK but to use AP must be flown selected/selected.

OEI LOC - coupled selected - AP OK

58
Q

To Initiate Descent from Cruise

A

To avoid OPN CLB reversion on approach, use V/S -1000 to start down then managed or as applicable …

59
Q

Vref is …

A

VLS Conf F

60
Q

Oil Temp for T/O

A

> -10c

61
Q

Run-up Requirements

A

If icing conditions exceed 30 minutes:
70% N1 min for approx 30s (30min interval and prior to higher thrust operation).

In FZRA, FZDZ, FZFG or +SN - additional ice shedding shall be conducted at intervals not to exceed 10 minutes (70% N1 no dwell time) unless surface conditions and operations do not permit in which case thrust settings shall be as high as practical.

Advise ATC if a run-up in position is required.
