AOR Flashcards
Minimum Turn procedure 180’ for turning pad?
- Apply brakes and stop, thrust idle
- Turn tiller max angle
- Release both brakes and apply opposite thrust (5-10kts)
- Reduce angle once nose gear through max width position
How long for Brakes to heat up after RTO and fuse plugs to melt?
15 mins
Max taxi speed after RTO and return to gate taxi time > 5km?
30 kts
3 takeoff Methods ?
- Normal Takeoff -
Brakes pressed, thrust. 20 TPR and then release brakes
Used for directional control on slippery runway
- Rolling takeoff
Don’t stop, set 20 TPR and commence roll
Best for crosswind (+20kts) / tailwind takeoff to protect engines but uses (100-150ft) extra RWY not good for directional control
Reduces takeoff time and good for pax comfort
- Static Takeoff :
set takeoff thrust with brakes on
Good for takeoff distance and directional control but noisy and discomfort for pax and increase chance of FOD ingestion
What is Go mindedness ?
Except when there is serious doubt the aircraft can fly safely it is safer to continue the takeoff than to reject close to V1. (Prevent high speed RTO’s)
Failures to consider RTO reject?
- Master warning (engine failure with thrust loss)
- Engine fire or max EGT with thrust loss ( may continue if no thrust loss)
- PWS
- Flight control problem
- Engine severe damage / separation
RTO with Copilot as PF
Copilot to continue control and takeoff unless ReJect is called and then captain will take over control
Captain must have thrust levers after thrust set call
Captain to have feet on rudder pedals in case of RTO and to prevent auto brake disconnect chance and ready for manual braking if needed
Who calls failure on takeoff roll and Reject?
anyone calls failure and PIC decides whether to call reject or continue
If engine failure just call Engine failure not which side etc
How to Call V1
Start call V1 - 5kts and finish by V1 (must continue if failure at V1)
PM calls on RTO?
- Speed brakes up (NOT UP), REV normal (no REV L/R , Both)
- 60 kts and contact tower (after. 60kts cal)
Stowing of Reverse thrust levers?
After 60kts call begin to stow reverse by 30 kts once stopping assured (PIC can stow before also)
When to contact cabin during RTO?
Contact after brakes set prior to memory item to prevent uncommanded evacuation and then again after finish to calm pax and crew
Turning Pad width required Ice runway
Refer to AOR
Pivot 180’ Procedure (saves 11-17m than normal)
- Apply brakes stop A/C
- Turn tiller max angle
- Apply max brk to inside wheel brk
- Opposite Thrust used only
- Inspection of tires / runway required
Wake turbulence span?
1 wingspan H and 2 wingspan W
Strongest vortex configuration?
Large heavy aircraft slow in clean configuration (flaps and spoilers weaken the vortex
Wake turbulence lasts how long?
2-3 mins (wind and turbulence air can shorten duration
How much sink does wake turbulence descend?
400-500ft / min to 900ft below A/C (which is 10nm behind A/C)
Wake turbulence close to GND movement?
Down and then out above ground at 3 Kts
Most dangerous wake turbulence situation at airport (takeoff)
Light to no wind / downwind of aircraft that’s large and heavy (watch their rotation point) or side wind if close parallel runways.
Most dangerous wake turbulence for landing?
Quartering tailwind as wake turbulence may be around touchdown area still or light crosswind during close parallel runway ops
Wake turbulence recovery?
AP on leave on let recover and don’t use rudder (manual control if needed) avoid abrupt reversal of aileron and rudder inputs
Target SPd with A/the engaged
Vref + 5 up to Vref + 10 for manual landing in gusty winds (considering IAS loss in flare)
Target SPD with A/THR disconnected?
Vref + (1/2 wind + gust) up to Vref + 15
Wind is steady headwind component !
Gust is max gust - steady wind
1/2 wind component may be bled off at touchdown
Max wind considered only when steady wind is 15kts or greater and more than 10kts over steady wind
Gust is based on total wind (not HW)
Dont consider for TW or X-Wind
Reasons for Vref additive for manual A/THR landing?
Short landing prevention (1/2 HW added)
Wind reduces near the ground
Prevent tail strikes
Pitch / roll rate for pod strike
Negative pitch worsening angle (only 8’ roll rate)
Landing attitude = 1.5’ NUP and 13’ AOB
Tail strike contact angle takeoff
-8 = 9.5’ NUP
-9 = 9’ NUP
-10 = 8’ NUP
Pitch angle tail strike (main gear compressed)?
-8 = 9’ NUP
-9 = 7.5’ NUP
-10 = 6.5’ NUP
(Vref - 10 angle = tail contact)
-8/-9 is ok still
Takeoff tail strike prevention
Set and use correct takeoff data and speeds / trim
Rotate using correct procedure (2-3’ / second)
Landing tail strike prevention?
Stabilized APP
Avoid long flare
Deal with wind changes
Go around if not safe to land
Avoid rapid pitch especially GA
What is standard callout ?
Minimum required callouts relating to altitude, position or speed
deviation from flight path, speed, des rate
Info to make judgement on landing and NAV instrument / FMA / AP status
Objective of standard callouts?
Confirm information on altitude, SPD, position and system status
Enhance crew coordination, common recognition and fail safe function
PM must respond to confirm and affirms no crew incapacitation
When 1000 to level off call required ?
Any altitude up until FAF (non precision) or up to GS intercept alt
What is FAF on non precision APP chart when not listed?
Legs page - Fix with F__runway number ie FE30 or
first wpt when GS angle mentioned in legs page
No callout required for FAF if neither of these or for PAR APP
Altitude check on ILS purpose?
To confirm you not capture ghost beam on GS (ghost beam above normal beam and double the angle of normal path)
Altitude call out non precision APP
Within 10ft as to allow for -50ft/+100ft deviation requirements after passing FAF for IAN and VNAV
Do we callout Flare / Rollout armed?
No auto arms when Land 2 or 3 displayed
Deviation call for SPD
Only apply to +10kts or -5 from target SPd in the landing configuration
