After start checklist.
Do after start flow once moving again.
If there is a power interruption during start what will you do?
Loss of both ECAM,
Master off
Dry crank for 30secs
SUP procedure in FCOM
If no Spoilers on landing?
Full reverse and consider max manual braking.
What would you do in severe turbulence?
Consult QRH.
Turb Speeds.
On a NEO. If you hear that there is a leak from the engine drain during start what will you do?
Consult FCOM
Should run for 5 mins to see if leak stops.
Tell ATC
If you had an ECAM during start and push what will you do?
Wait until you have done the after start checks then action the ECAM. Unless it requires immediate action. Then run after start cx again as pitch trim may move with ELAC reset
Pushback and have an ECAM, with no M procedure and an easy O procedure, what will you do?
Follow Flow Chart.
Need to liase with Maintrol.
Anything we can do?
Perhaps do an ACF which will need to be written up.
Could do this en route as long as you can satisfy it’s safe to depart.
Pushback and ECAM with an M procedure?
Liase with Maintrol
Expect the M procedure to be done. Keep it simple.
ECAM on taxi what do you do?
Stop, PPP, run ECAM
Transfer control
Once safe, MEL flowchart
If M procedure then taxi back to stand, keep it simple.

“CLIMB”. Do you -
Perform a standard go around.
If the guidance system fails once you are half way into the stand what should you do?
Don’t trust it. Stop tell ATC and request a Marshaller

Optimum deflection for OEI.
How long is take-off Thrust limited to during an EFATO?
10 minutes.
What does the SRS command during an EFATO?
V2 or the current speed if higher up to a maximum of V2+15. The Magenta triangle will always show V2 regardless of the speed the SRS is commanding.

Increase from 15deg to 25 at Man speed -3kts if selected guidance. 30deg if managed guidance.
Should you press the EO CLR prompt during an OEI situation?
No the MCDU detects the failure, if you push it you cannot get it back again.
During a Rapid Decompression, what are the risks of extending speed brake?
May go below the VLS as it will shoot up. Could trigger the Low Speed Protection.

FCTM says you can ignore this.
If going into the EEC during a Smoke Event, what will happen? What should you consider before pushing the MAN ON button?
You will loose AP ATHR and FOs Screens. Consider swapping control and then doing it. Think Ahead!!
When going into the EEC for smoke and turning i everything on again for landing, what does this mean for a potential IFLD calculation?
Most likely to be landing in ALT/DCT Law as you will get most things back until the RAT stops working.

Switch the Anti Skid NWS switch to off, release brake pressure whilst doing this and then re-apply as per loss of braking procedure.
