APPROACH/LANDING/GO-AROUND Flashcards

1
Q

How should VAPP be adjusted in strong or gusty crosswind conditions?

A

Above 20 kts . VAPP should be at least VLS +5 kts.
The increment may be adjusted up to 15 kts at flight crew discretion

Q

If using FINAL APP mode, is your barometric setting important or does it behave like an ILS?

A

Wrong barometric setting will leads to incorrect vertical profile. Check RAD ALT to confirm you are on correct profile

Q

How is a “Discontinued Approach” performed, and what is the criteria for it to be allowed?

A

Aircraft has to be above the FCU altitude
First action is to call “CANCEL APPROACH”
and then disengage and disarm approach mode by pressing the APPR or LOC pb

Q

When using the DIR TO RADIAL IN function, what is the last waypoint that it can be done from?

A

The Final Descent Point is the last point in order to ensure that the vertical profile of the approach is correct

Q

What factors will require an earlier flare?

A
  • High Airport Elevation, Increased alt will result in
    higher ground speed with an associated increase
    in descent rate
  • Steeper approach, more than the normal 3 deg
  • Tailwind, gives higher ground speed and higher
    descent rates

Q

What effect does the reversers have on the effectiveness of the rudder in crosswinds landings?

A

Reversers have a destabilizing effect on the airflow around the rudder and thus decreasing the efficiency of the rudder

Q

What factors can cause tail strike on landing?

A
  • Allowing speed to decrease below VAPP before
    flare
  • Prolonged hold off for a smooth touch down
  • A high flare, can result in a combined decrease in
    airspeed and a long float
  • Too high sink rate

Q

What aircraft systems helps to prevent tail strikes?

A
  1. A PITCH - PITCH synthetic voice
  2. A tail strike pitch limit indicator can appear on
    the PFD

Q

How should you handle a bounced landing?

A

Light bounce, keep pitch and try to land back while keeping thrust at idle

High bounce, maintain pitch and initiate a go-around

A

SRS and GA TRK (NAV) engages if A/P in ON
The GA phase activates in the FMS

Q

How can Go-around phase be unduly activated on take-off?
How can it then be deactivated?

A

If aircraft is above Acc Altitude and the crew sets TOGA with at least CONF 1

Insert a new destination or select the ALTN destination

Q

Under what circumstances are we not allowed to do a OETA (One Engine Taxi) after landing?

A
  • Gross weight is above MLW
  • Taxi surface is slippery or contaminated
  • LVO ops in force
  • OM-C restrictions
  • If crossing an active runway is expected
  • Certain MEL items as listed in HK Supplements

18
Q

When shall headsets be worn on descent/arrival?

A

From Top of Descent until engine shut down

19
Q

What reverse is the standard practice for landing?

A

REV MAX

20
Q

When can we select REV IDLE on a wet runway?

A

If surface conditions are GOOD and a landing assessment has been made with:
- MED TO POOR data
- No Reverse credit
and the resultant landing assessment is within LDA

21
Q

If “TOO STEEP PATH” message is displayed after the FDP, what approach mode cannot be used?

A

FINAL APP guidance

22
Q

When should CONF 3 be considered for landing?

A
  • When landing distance is sufficient
  • When go-around performance is not a factor
  • If windshear/turbulence is expected
23
Q

When doing the landing performance in Flysmart, should the Normal Landing Distance or the Factored Landing Distance be considered when deciding runway exit point

A

The Factored Landing Distance, except under abnormal operations

24
Q

Are we allowed to do a 360 deg orbit when on the final approach path?

A

No, as obstacle clearance cannot be guaranteed

25
Q

When don’t we have to add 50 to the MDA on Non-Precision Approaches?

A

Not for LNAV/VNAV approaches

26
Q

When should the approach checklist be performed?

A

Below 10000 ft or after setting QNH, whichever occurs later

27
Q

What conditions have to be met before we can press the APPR pb on a ILS Approach?

A
  1. Cleared for the approach
  2. On a intercept trajectory for the final app course
  3. LOC deviation is available
28
Q

What is the criteria to be stabilized at 1000 ft on a ILS Approach?

A

Within 1 dot on glide slope and localizer

29
Q

What is the criteria to be stabilized at 1000 ft on a VOR Approach?

A

5 degrees

30
Q

What are the criteria to be stabilized on an approach?

A
  • On correct flight path
  • In desired landing configuration
  • At target speed -5 or +10 kts
  • Thrust is stabilized
  • Briefing and Checklists completed
31
Q

If executing a Go-around before the MAP, how shall the Missed Approach be flown?

A

Overfly the MAP first and then follow the go-around procedure

32
Q

How many approaches into a runway can we do before we have to pick another one?

A

2

33
Q

Which of HKEs aircraft have the “Soft Go-around” function?

A

A320 NEO and A321 NEO

34
Q

What is the criteria to do a “Discontinued Approach”?

A

Aircraft has to be at or above the selected altitude on the FCU

35
Q

What do we say to announce a “Discontinued Approach”?

A

“CANCEL APPROACH”

36
Q

Who should activate the “Approach Phase”?

A

PF requests it and PM executes it

37
Q

What can occur during thrust reverser deployment before the nose landing gear touchdown?

A

A small pitch up

38
Q

When should the PM start timing for the 3 min engine cool down during landing

A

At 70 kts

39
Q

When should the APU be started, after landing, on the NEO aircrafts?

A

Shall be delayed until approaching the gate, no need for APU during “One Engine In Taxi”

40
Q

How far in from the threshold should we aim to touch down?

A

300m (1000ft) in

41
Q

How long is the AOC POSTFLT menu available after landing?

A

It is available for 10 min after the first door is open.
Then it reverts to PREFLT menu

42
Q

Up until what point on an approach can you use speed brakes?

A

Up until before the final flap setting

43
Q

How is Vapp calculated?

A

VLS + 1/3 of wind or
VLS + 5 (if 1/3 is less than 5)

44
Q

Can we use FINAL APP guidance when doing Low temp corrections?

A

No
