Q

Rejected T/O

Abnormality prior to V1

A

I will / you will drill

No auto-brakes if T/O didn’t reach 72kts (dir control will be challenging in strong x-wind!)
Hot brakes likely
Stop on runway if there is any chance of requiring an evac

Q

TCAS

A

If RA “Climb” or “Increase Climb” on final approach after FAF or <1000’ AGL - GA FLAPS!

ND Scale … down
FDs … Off
Ext Lights … ON
LOOK OUT!

Do not maneuver on TA alone.
IF RA … PF fly, PM “TCAS RA” to ATC
Manoeuvre within 5 secs (2.5 sec for reversal)
When clear …advise ATC … “clear of conflict” …. or “unable, TCAS RA”

GPWS, WINDSHEAR or STALL RECOVERY will always take precedence.

Q

Windshear Ahead

predictive

A

FINS 241-242, 461-464, 473

*“WINDSHEAR AHEAD” or “GA WINDSHEAR”
May be disregarded if positive verification of no haz.
*“WINDSHEAR” always react

W/S AHEAD RED on PFD
“WINDSHEAR AHEAD, WINDSHEAR AHEAD”
*delay T/O, or select most fav rwy
*inhibited 100 until 50’
*airborne “FIREWALL” (slat/flap can be changed if not into w/s), AP (if on) keep on, follow SRS.
*landing - “FIREWALL” … TOGA preform G/A

W/S AHEAD AMBER on PFD
Apply precautionary measures (use TOGA for T/O)
LDG - Flap 3, managed speed, AP, radar, observations etc

Remember “WINDSHEAR” - ALWAYS react!
“FIREWALL” - TOGA
AP - if on keep on, follow SRS

Q

Windshear

A

Some FINS - pilot observation only
Some FINS red flag on PFD “Winshear” + aural

If >V1 - "Firewall" - TOGA
       - at VR rotate and follow SRS
       - initial 17.5 (no FD) full back if necessary
If airborne, init climb or ldg
      - "Firewall" - TOGA
      - AP keep on if on, follow SRS

Q

GPWS/EGPWS

A

Cautions: PULL UP, TERRAIN TERRAIN PULL UP, TERRAIN AHEAD PULL UP, OBSTACLE AHEAD PULL UP

Warnings: TERRAIN TERRAIN, TOO LOW TERRAIN, CAUTION TERRAIN, TERRAIN AHEAD, OBSTACLE AHEAD

If day VFR and no hazard exists - warning may be considered cautionary, otherwise:

PF                    
"Firewall" - TOGA       
AP - off                        
Pitch up - FULL
Speed Brake Lever - check retracted
Bank - wings level or adjust  
If alt/dct  law respect stall 
If OEI be gentle as Vmca may be > Vamax
When Clear
"GA FLAPS"

PM
Ensure SPD-BRK retracted and spoilers disarmed.
Callout flt path

SINK RATE, GLIDESLOPE
>1000 AGL - Flight Plath adjust
<1000 AGL - GA Flaps

TOO LOW GEAR, TOO LOW FLAPS
GA Flaps

DON’T SINK
Flight Path adjust

Q

Stall Recovery

A

Shouldn’t happen in normal law.
Alt or Dct law. “Stall, Stall, Stall” and/or Buffet

PF                                                                  
"STALL"                   
Apply nose down 
Roll wings level
When 'broke' increase thrust smoothly
SPD-BRK Retract
Smoothly recover
If clean and <20,000' "Flaps 1"
When clear "GA FLAPS"

PM
Monitor or call out deviations

Q

Stall recovery at liftoff

A

May happen in Normal Law if AOA probe damaged.

PF
“Stall”…TOGA
Pitch…15
Roll wings Level

PM - Callout flt path

When safe flt path and speed regained,
if continues consider it spurious

Q

ENG Fail During High Alt Cruise

A

AP and ATHR ON and A/C > EO Rec alt

Call for ECAM action

  1. TL - MCT/ATHR Off
  2. SPEED - Green dot and PULL
  3. HDG - Pull and turn as req
  4. ALT - Max eng out and pull.
  5. ATC - advise of initial intentions

Choose a strategy.

Eng Out Oceanic Diversion

A

*Turn >=45deg to II at 15nm, minimize descent until 15mn
*Drills and time-critical checklists
*Turn on ext lights
*Declare emergency, req clnc, broadcast intentions 121.5
when established on a 15nm II track:
*Expedite descent to < FL280

Q

Emergency During Pushback

A

Gnd crew - “EMERGENCY EMERGENCY SET BRAKES SET BRAKES” (HS - Abruptly extends arms and wands to top of head, crossing wands)

Flt crew - “EMERGENCY EMERGENCY STOP PUSHBACK STOP PUSHBACK” (HS - Cross both arms in front of face then clench fists)

17
Q

PRM Breakout

A

=Both pilots trained (sim and video), read “attention all users”.
=Capt hand flown for initial “breakout”.
=When contacting tower - listen to monitor FREQ and preset heading 30 left or 30 right (left or right parallel rwy)

  • Capt - AP off - hand fly
  • FO - set hdg and pull
  • FO - set alt and pull
  • Capt - thrust levers as req (if TOGA reselect hdg)
  • AP on
  • In climb or level - Sel speed green dot and pull
  • “GA FLAPS”
18
Q

ADR 1+2+3

A

Use QRH

ECAM may show two dual ARD failures … do paper checklist.

19
Q

SMOKE/FUMES/AVNCS SMOKE

A

The QRH procedure includes all the steps from AVNCS SMOKE ECAM (may also see on overhead panel: GEN 1 LINE “smoke” and BLOWER “fault”, EXTRACT “Fault”)

LAND ASAP always first thought

QRH checklist always applied before AVNCS SMOKE ECAM

Understand how the different types of smoke could manifest … common actions (1st 7 steps in QRH)

Other ECAM Smoke (cargo, lav):
Do ECAM first, if doubt about origin consider QRH precudure

AOM 1.02.10

20
Q

amber LAND ASAP amber

ECAM

A
  • consider landing at the nearest suitable airport.

The suitability criteria should be defined in accordance with the operator’s policy.

21
Q

red LAND ASAP red

ECAM

A
  • land ASAP at the nearest airport at which a safe landing can be made.

Is applicable to a time critical situation.

22
Q

Reject > 100 kts

A

Very few situ should lead to reject:
(T/O inhibit 80kts-1500’ or 2 mins)
= FIRE wrng or severe damage
= Sudden loss of thrust
= Situ or cond where a/c is not safe to fly
= ANY RED ECAM
= Amber ECAM - F/CTL SIDESTICK FAULT
- ENG 1(2) FAIL
- ENG 1(2) REVERSER FAULT
- ENG 1(2) REVERSER UNLOCKED

23
Q

G/S from above

A

Only when established on LOC
at least CONFIG 2, L/G down, SLOW DOWN!

APP mode … ARM/Check Armed
FCU ALT … Set above (MA ALT if below it)
(Speed Push?!)
V/S Mode … Select 1500’ down initially more is OK (watch VFE)

If interception prior to 1000’ set MA Alt
If no interception prior to 1000’ set MA Alt - GA FLAPS!

AOM 1.04.11.20

24
Q

ECAM Warning Logic

A

Primary Failure - System failure that costs the use of other items or systems. Left side title boxed.
Secondary Failure - result of primary failure. Right side with *asterisk.
Independent Failure - Isolated system failure. Left side underlined.

Level 3 - RED - Immediate action
Level 2 - AMBER with chime - awareness not immediate action
Level 1 - AMBER no chime - requires crew monitoring.

Class I - upper ECAM
Class II - lower right side.
Class III - read by maint in the CFDIU

25
Q

Approximate Glide Ratio - 280kts at 60KG

A

2.5nm per 1000’ (zero wind)

26
Q

Engine Failure on approach

A

GA if unstabilized at any time.
otherwise

MCT on operative engine (unless fire with no failure)

Outside FAF - do initial ECAM down to 1000’, then remainder after landing or after GA (>400’)

Inside FAF - do ECAM after landing or after GA (>400’)
