Q

When should the FO conduct the Taxi flow, how should it be conducted?

A
  • During initial taxi, wait until the Captain states “Brakes checked”

Q

When conducting the checklist item “HYDRAULICS” where does the FO look?

A

At the switches (hydraulics) look at the checklist item.

17
Q

Regarding the Auto Pilot:

If changes occur at the top of the PFD?

Flight directors - either follow them or?

Before AP engagement ensure what?

A

➢ Callout ALL autopilot changes at the top of the PFD
➢ Flight Directors- either follow them accurately or turn them off
➢ AP engagement- ensure aircraft is trimmed and following the FDs, the modes are
selected and engage AP last

18
Q

On a star a heading bug should be moved?

A

After each waypoint to match the track to the next way point.

19
Q

A gentle flare should be commenced when?

A

At the 10ft announcement.

20
Q

When air brake is deployed at 100ft the aircraft will?

A

Pitch up, therefore forward control pressure is applied to maintain landing aim point

21
Q

When on profile for landing and airbrake is selected at 100ft, correct control column force is applied to maintaining landing aim point what effect will this cause?

A

Approx 5kt loss of airspeed to Vref

22
Q

When is trip log and fuel log filled out?

A

Trip log above F100

Fuel log once on centre frequency

23
Q

When does PF hand return to thrust levers after take off?
When can they be removed?

A

150ft until flap up

24
Q

When does PF hand returns to thrust levers after take off?
When can they be removed?

*check if slide repeated

A

150ft until flap up

25
Q

Drift Down Performance.

Before drift down what needs to be set?
- Power setting
- Airsupply
- Speed

Speed increases by how much above FL270?

At what altitude does a slow down start before FL270?

Where can this info be found?

A

MCT
Cabin Bleed Air FRESH
Speed is Ver

Above FL270 speed is increased by 20kt

Speed reduction to Ver is started at FL280

Flight deck handbook, Vol3 Part 4 which include stabilised altitude tables

26
Q

On the first flight after conducting the S+P checks, the red button?

A

Is pulled out

26
Q

Once the final load sheet arrives.

A
  • Radios GRND / TWR
  • MWS Red button in
  • Data card, record info
27
Q

Regarding stabilisation height, prior to comencing an approach the crew must what?

A

Establish a stabilisation height for the approach to be flown.
The stabilisation height must form part of the arrival briefing.
OM0A2 - 13.11.6.3

28
Q

A 500ft stabilisation height for an instrument approach may be planned when?

A

If the destinations includes a ceiling of at least 1500ft and vis of 3km or more. Aircraft must be configured by the FAF

29
Q

The captain may plan a 500ft stabilisation height when conducting a visual approach or an instrument approach in visual conditions. In this case, the aircraft must be configured by what height?
What needs to be configured?

A

1000ft

  • Gear down
  • Circling flap
  • Max Vref + 30kt
30
Q

Discontinuing the approach.

A missed approach must be flown if an approach:

A
  • is not stable
  • becomes unstable
  • is not being flown as briefed
31
Q

A stabilised approach is one in which all the criteria are acheived by the applicable min stabilisation height and maintained there after.

These criteria are:

A
  • Correct flight path
  • aircraft in landing config
  • only small changes in hdg and pitch
  • VS not greater than 1000ft/min
  • thrust appropriate for aircraft config
  • all briefings and checklists completed
  • speed not more than Vref +20kt and not less than Vref (small short term fluctuations outside acceptable)
32
Q

Additional stab approach criteria for the specific approach are:

A
  • ILS 1 dot of glideslope and localiser
  • Non precision app +- 5deg of inbound course or 1 dot track RNP
  • Vis app 1 light high or log papi
  • circling wings level by 300ft
33
Q

Stabilised approach thrust setting:

Stabilised approach, checklist in icing conditions can be?

A

Normal thrust setting for approach approx 60%
Not lower than 45% to be stabilised however if tailwind temorary reduction can be done

In icing conditions landing check list may be held to allow air and airframe anti-ice switching

34
Q

A visual approach configuation might look like?

A

3000ft - F18, 190 - 160
2500ft - Gear down
2100ft - F24
1500ft - F33
1000ft
500ft - stable
