Approach types

Question 1

Decelerated approach

Answer 1

1) Above 2000ft = Green dot, Flaps 1, S speed Flaps 2
1) Bellow 2000ft = Green dot, flaps 1, flaps 2 one dot bellow glide slope.
2) when flaps 2, L/G down
3) when L/G down = Flap 3, Check Below VFE NEXT, Then flaps full
4) 1000ft Vapp stable, LDG Config
5) GO AROUND = Set GA thrust, rotate to SRS/ 15DG, retract Flaps one step
6) Posative climb, L/G up

Question 2

Initial/ Intermediate Approach

Answer 2

1) Press the APPR pb, when:
- Cleared for the approach
- On the intercept trajectory for the final approach course
- LOC deviation is available
2) Both AP’s …………. Engage PF
3) LOC, G/S …………..Armed
4) LOC, G/S ……………..Captured
5) GO Around altitude ……….. Set

Question 3

Approach using FPA Guidance

Answer 3

1) RNAV (GNSS) approaches
2) Conventional approaches based on VOR,NDB.
3) ILS G/S OUT, LOC ONLY and only back course localiser approaches.
4) flown when the approach is not stored in the database or - Nav accuracy is LOW

Question 4

Approach preparation

Answer 4

1) F-PLN introduce the instrument approach procedure, including the missed approach procedure for instrument approach.
2) Sec F-Plan the landing runaway must be inserted into the SEC F-PLN. Update the SEC F-PLAN as follows:
- copy the tactile F-PLN
- Revise the landing runway

Question 5

Low Vis Circling Approach Pattern

Answer 5

1) stable decent, initial config, flaps 3, gear down, spoilers armed and lights on.
2) at the MDA/H at the latest level off (push level off if the automatics are in). If no visual GO - Around
3) When Required conditions for circling are satisfied, select TRK-FPA, Fly 45 set for 30 sec from wings level.
4) Downwind Leg, Activate SEC F-PLAN
5) Abeam threshold, start CHRONO (3 SEC/100ft), then turn base at specific time wind adjusted.
6) one RWY THRESHOLD is in SIGHT, 200/300 ft/m decent (at base latest point before decent: disconnect AP, remove FD’s), flap full, landing checklist.
7) Final turn maintain 25 den bank
8) If visual is lost at any time a GO-AROUND must be initiated.

Question 6

Visual approach

Answer 6

1) AP/FD/OFF select downing track
2) ABM RUNGWAY, activate approach phase, Check SPD MANAGED, select GO-AROUND altitude.
3) SPD Green dot, flaps 1 at 1500ft.
4) ABM threshold, start timer (4sec /100ft, +/- 1sec/it wind)
5) Turning base on time, be configured FLAPS 2 BEFORE turning BASE
6) when flap 2, L/G down, spoilers ARMED
7) when L/G Down, flap 3, CHK SPD, flaps FULL, complete landing C/L
8) 1000ft AC stabilised with flaps full and target spd.
9) 400FT wings level
10) GO AROUND, set go around thrust, rotate to SRS (15deg NU), flaps retract
11) positive climb, gear up

Question 7

AP/FD Common modes - APPROACH

Answer 7

• for PRECISION approaches the flight crew uses the APPR pb on the FCU to arm or engage the LOC and G/S modes
• for NON PRECISION, the flight crew uses the APPR pb on the FCU to arm or engage the APP NAV and FINAL guidance modes, except for LOC approaches, where the flight crew only uses the LOC pb to arm or engage the LOC mode.

Question 8

ENG FAILURE AFTER V1

Answer 8

1) apply rudder to stay on centreline/ end of runway. Pitch to 12.5 DEG/ROTATE TO SRS, +VS GEAR UP, (maintain V2!), Trim rudder 1 unit a second (15sec), A/P SELECT, TOGA, HDG.
2) 400ft, ECAM ACTIONS, ENGINE SECURE, STOP ECAM.
3) 1500ft, PUSH v/s + Accelerate, Flaps retract, Mayday, Secondary flight plan activate. Green dot, “assigned alt” pull open climb, “LEVER MCT” Set MCT.
