ANNUAL QUIZZ, PREP FOR PCA Flashcards
FMS
Correct format of the flight ID during FMS initialisation
- is essential to ensure correct correlation with ATC system (CPDLC)
- must use exactly the same information as the ATS Flight Plan (ICAO airline identifier, flight number)
- must not use any space, dash or extra leading zeroes
FMS
During FMS initial initialisation
Ensure that the flight number in the FMS init A matches that of item 7 of the ICAO ATS flight plan
ADS-B
It stands for
Automatic Dependent Surveillance Broadcast
ADS-B
ADS-B data is broadcast
Automatically provided the transponder is selected to on/auto
ADS-B
When instructed to stop ADS-B altitude transmission
Advise ATC “Unable Dragonxxx” as selecting altitude reporting to off would put the TCAS on standby mode
ADS-B
If asked to “transmit ADS-B ident”
Press the ATC transponder IDENT pushbutton
ADS-B
ADS-B procedures will be conducted in
Airspace listed in Part A and additional airspace notified by notam
ADS-B
If ADS-B equipment is degraded ATC will use the phrase
“ADS-B out of service” you must resume normal position reporting by voice or CPDLC if fitted
ADS-B
When operating in ADS-B airspace squawking 7700 will
Generate an EMG tag on the controller’s situation display
ADS-B
If asked to “advise ADS-B capability”, transmit
“ADS-B transmitter ten ninety datalink, dragon xxx”
ADS-B
ADS-B data includes
Barometric altitude, Vertical rate, GPS position, Track, Groundspeed
ADS-B
Before flight in ADS-B airspace
Ensure that the ATS flight plan includes the ADS-B and transponder capability (E, L or B1)
RVSM
Which of the following is true with regards to operating within RVSM airspace ?
Autopilot should be used, level changes should not overshoot the cleared level by more than 150 ft and a double autopilot failure should be reported to ATC
RVSM
The minimum equipment required to operate in RVSM airspace is
1 transponder 1 autopilot 2 ADR 2 DMC 2 PFD 1 FCU 1 FWC
MSA
Following an ENG failure on departure without radar from a port with no specific ENG inop port page procedure approaching 25 NM from the MSA reference but still below relevant MSA the crew should
Continue following the SID until at a safe altitude to return as the SID considers distant obstacles beyond 25 NM MSA within +/- 5 NM of centerline.
RVSM
If a flight in China is unable to continue RVSM due to equipment failure the crew shall
Contact ATC and state “unable RVSM due equipment failure “ and request clearance out of RVSM airspace
MSA
On Navtech charts the green shaded contours provide
A vertical clearance of 1000ft for obstacles at or below 5000 ft
MSA
With reference to MSA, lower separation standards are authorized when
IFR under positive radar control
Cold Weather
Approach speed increments should be applied
If there is evidence of ice accretion on de-iced parts ( wing anti-ice inop)
Cold Weather
Hot bleed air is used for anti ice on the following surfaces:
Four outboard leading-edge slats of each wing and engine intakes
MSA
25 NM MSA shown on Navtech SID/STAR/Approach chart provides
1000 ft of obstacle clearance within a 25 NM radius from the reference point upon which the MSA is predicated.
It does not provide any radio coverage
Cold Weather
Rain repellent may be used
In moderate to heavy rain to improve visibility on the front windshield
Cold Weather
Electrical power is used for anti ice protection on
- Flight compartment windows
‐ Sensors, pitot probes, static ports, TAT probes and angle-of-attack probes
‐ Waste water drain mast.
Cold Weather
You are about to take off the runway has standing water, is the FO/SO allowed to perform the take off?
No
