60
Q

Are you permitted to use the APU if the LOW OIL LEVEL advisory is displayed on the ECAM? When is maintenance action required? Is a logbook entry required?

A

​The APU may be started and operated even if the LOW OIL LEVEL ECAM advisory is displayed. Maintenance action is required within The next 10 hours of APU operation.

A

-Nose wheel steering is inoperative
-One or more brakes are inoperative

69

A

Basically anything that affect the rudder in any way:

-Rudder jam
-Rudder pedal jam
-Yaw damper system fault
-Rudder travel limit system fault
-All failures leading to loss of nose wheel steering (HYD yellow system loss, double hydraulic failure, double BSCU fault, double LGCIU fault)

Yes

71

A

-1.0 psi

75
Q

What’s the maximum differential pressure for the cabin? When should the safety relief valve open?

A

Absolute max is 9.0 PSI. The safety should open at 8.6 PSI.

76

A

2 hours

78
Q

A

Above 49ºC the aircraft must be de-powered with no avionics cooling for more than 2 hours

79
Q

What’s the APU max rotor speed?

A

107%

80
Q

What’s the maximum EGT for a running APU?

A

Perform a normal APU shutdown

82
Q

If you have a dual engine failure what’s the maximum altitude at which you can start the APU? What if you still have engine running?

A

A battery restart, which would be required during a dual engine failure, can only be accomplished at or below 25,000MSL. If you have electrics, i.e. you have at least one engine driven generator working, you can start the APU at or below 39,000MSL.

83
Q

What’s the maximum altitude at which the APU can be used to assist an engine start?

A

20,000’MSL

84
Q

What’s the maximum altitude at which the APU can supply electrics and both packs? What about electrics and a single pack?

A

Electrics and both packs: 15,000’MSL
Electrics and a single pack: 22,500’MSL

85
Q

Can you perform a VOR or VOR/DME approach in NAV mode?

A

Yes, but you must have GPS PRIMARY or NAV ACCOUNT HIGH, and the NAVIAD must be hard tuned and monitored, as it’s the primary source of navigation

86
Q

Can you use the autopilot to fly a non-precision approach with an engine-out?

A

Yes, unless you are in A/C 701-712. Those aircraft are approved for FD use but the autopilot must be off for non-precision approaches with an engine-out.

87
Q

Can you perform an RNAV (GPS) approach without GPS PRIMARY?

A

Yes, but you must have NAV ACC HIGH

88
Q

Can you perform an RNAV (RNP) approach without GPS PRIMARY?

A

No. Not even with NAV ACC HIGH.

89
Q

What may you want to do if you suspect GPS spoofing?

A

You can deselect the GPS position on the SELECTED NAVAID page. This will force the aircraft to solely rely on the radio position.

90
Q

When will the FM position not automatically update to the runway position during takeoff?

A

When GPS primary is active (see Vol 3)

91
Q

What should be done to ensure an accurate takeoff update if departing from an intersection?

A

Enter the takeoff shift on the PERF TO page to refine the takeoff update. This is only necessary if an intersection wasn’t already inserted.

92
Q

Can the FMS landing system (FLS) mode be used during approaches?

A

No. At least not yet. From what I understand that will be changing at some point in the future. Apparently the FLS mode will allow us to use LPV minimums, from what I understand. Don’t quote me.

93
Q

Who is always the PF and PM for autoland approaches?

A

PF: Captain
PM: First officer

94
Q

Can autoland approaches be done in flaps 3?

A

Yes

95
Q

Why is it recommended to do autoland approaches in flaps full vs flaps 3?

A

Flaps full provides better forward slant range visibility

96
Q

If one of the autoland criteria cannot be met, can we fly a CAT 1 down to minimums?

A

Yes

97
Q

What’s the highest autoland altitude for A/C 701-799?

A

5,750’ airport altitude

98
Q

What’s the highest altitude for an autoland in A/C 200’s, 300’s, and 600’s?

A

9,200’ airport elevation

99
Q

Can autoland procedures be done when the weather is better than 2sm visibility and 800’ ceilings?

A

Yes, but in these circumstances ATC does not protect the ILS critical area, so you’ll need to advise them of your autoland attempt and to protect the ILS critical area. This is done by ATC on a workload permitting basis. If they are unable to protect the ILS critical area you may still make the attempt but should be ready to immediately disconnect the AP and take appropriate action should the guidance become unsatisfactory.

100
Q

Can you continue an auto land approach if the aircraft wind vector says the winds are outside if limits, if the tower reports winds within limits?

A

Yes

101
Q

What’s the minimum engine oil pressure for A/C 601-699?

A

140ºC continuously, 155ºC on a transient basis.

107
Q

What is the maximum engine oil temperature in a 600 series aircraft?

A

151ºC

108
Q

For 200 and 700 series aircraft, how long to you need to wait between subsequent start cycles? How many cycles need to be failed before you need to let the engine cool down? How long does it need to cool down for?

A

-A 20 second pause is required between start cycles, automatic or manual
-After 4 failed cycles the engine needs a 15 minute cooling period

109
Q

For 300 series aircraft, how long to you need to wait between subsequent start cycles? How many cycles need to be failed before you need to let the engine cool down? How long does it need to cool down for?

A

-A 60 second pause is required between start cycles, automatic or manual
-A 15 minute cool down period is required after 3 failed cycles

110
Q

For 600 series aircraft, how long to you need to wait between subsequent start cycles? How many cycles need to be failed before you need to let the engine cool down? How long does it need to cool down for?

A

-A 35 second pause is required between start cycles, automatic or manual
-A 15 minute cooling period is required after 3 failed cycles

111
Q

During an automatic engine start, how many start attempts is considered one cycle?

A

Depends on the aircraft…
600 series: two start attempts
All other aircraft: three start attempts

112
Q

Does OEB57 apply even if it’s not in the QRH?

A

Yes. It’s a limitation in VOL 2. In all NEO aircraft the speed brakes cannot be used at or below 240kts if the GWCG is above 35% or in overweight landing conditions.

113
Q

What is the fuel system accuracy requirement per FAR part 25?

A

At very low fuel quantities (5% of tank capacity), the amount of fuel on board will always be equal to or greater than indicated. Another way of saying this is that the indication will read less than what you actually have on board once you reach 5% of tank capacity. Above 5% o tank capacity the fuel system indication is generally greater than what’s on board, and the error is generally greater at higher fuel loads.

In short, the fuel quantity indication only has to be accurate at “E”

114
Q

When is ice accretion considered severe?

A

When you reach 5mm (or 0.2”) of ice accretion

115
Q

What’s the maximum taxi seed with a tire deflated?

Both tires on the gear: 3 knots

A

No

117

A

At or above 1339 PSI

118
Q

In 300 and 600 series aircraft, above what O2 bottle PSI do you never need to worry about it being enough for departure?

119
Q

A

(OAT + Cockpit temp)/2
