How is derated takeoff designated on the WDR
(D, W, Q)DR…..D##
What action should be taken if the flight directors are not followed?
Turn them off
What lateral and vertical mode will be displayed with FD off?
HDG / V/S
What auto thrust mode will operate when FD and AP is off?
SPEED/MACH
How do you turn off the A/THR?
At the end of the flight when IDLE is selected or red instinctive disconnects pb (match thrust first)
What will be displayed in column 1 when thrust is fixed?
MAN TOGA, MAN FLX, MAN DTO, THR CLB, THR IDLE
What will be displayed in column 1 when thrust is variable?
SPEED / MACH
What happens to AP and FD if TCAS mode engages when AP and FD are off?
AP stays off and FD engage
What is displayed in column 1 when A/THR is active during TCAS RA?
SPEED / MACH
What happens to lateral and vertical modes when TCAS mode is engaged?
Lateral mode remains engaged. Vertical mode changes.
What should be displayed in column 3 of the FMA for a managed departure?
NAV is armed and NAV active at approx 30’
What does a white circle around a constraint indicate?
It is not being honored. In VS or OPEN CLB (DES)
How do you program an along track waypoint?
Select the point in the FMS, Insert Next WPT, +/- NM
Where can you find the LRC drift down altitude at 330 knots?
ODB, Abnormal
What are the initial steps when an engine fails
Set MCT, A/THR disconnect, Initiate turn are required, Maintain altitude and slow to green Dot, Select Green Dot, Exterior lights - On (Open descent when reaching green dot)
On a HDG when NAV is armed, can you initiate a Managed DES?
No. NAV must be engaged.
ATC issues an airway intercept. Describe how to program an airway intercept.
Click on the point in F-PLN, Insert Next WPT, Airways
ATC issues an airway intercept. After you program it, name 2 ways to clean up the flight plan to the proper TO waypoint.
Delete points until the proper FROM - TO, or DIR CRS IN
What are the fuel tolerances of the A350?
+1,500 lbsor -500 lbs between block and actual FOB (FOM14.4)
The aircraft has been over fueled by 2,000 lbs. Is an amended release required?
Yes (FOM 14.1)
What is the significant when —- is displayed on the LPR?
Dashes appear when the 15% safety margin cannot be met or data is not available for the requested conditions (FCTM)
What action should be taken if the FD is not being followed?
Turn FD off.
What auto thrust mode will be active in an OPN CLM
Fixed (THR CLB, THR DCLB)
In a managed CLB what are the indications on the FMA column 2?
CLB in green and ALT in blue or ALT CSTR in magenta
After takeoff without a heading preselected when will NAV engage?
Approximately 30 ft.
What happens if you disconnect A/THR using the A/THR pb on the AFSCP
Thrust will go into THR LK until the thrust levers are moved.
How is the managed speed determined in the CLB and DES phase above 10,000 ft?
Based on CI, GW (CRZ FL, wind, temp and time constraint)
Can a managed CLB be initiated in the PERF DES phase of flight?
No
What happens if the crew attempts to takeoff with the FD off?
The flight directors will automatically engage when the thrust levers are set to TOGA or FLX (D-Rate)
What is weight limit and headwind limit for Derated takeoff?
463,000 lbs & max 20 knot headwind
What flap setting do you use if you go around heavy weight?
Flaps 1
What is the maximum landing weight?
456,356 lbs
When is a takeoff alternate required?
Flight unable to return for a CAT 1 approach.
What does Dry, Wet, and Short mean as applies to dispatch runway conditions?
Dry - RWY dry, vis >3/4 sm or RVR 4000.
Wet - RWY wet, vis <3/4 sm or RVR4000
Short - RWY < 7k ft
