ATPL 76 - 100 Flashcards
1
Q
Explain CG working limit and operation limit
A
- CG limit is the aft or forward limit found in AOM chap 1 limitations
- Working CG is the forward or aft CG limit defined in the Weight and balance manifest
- Working CG is more strict and it assures that during any movement of fuel passenger cargo the limit CG will never be exceeded
2
Q
How do you check fuel leak
A
- Total fuel quantity remaining compared to flight plan fuel
- Fuel flow indication for an engine with excessive fuel flow
- Individual tank quantities
- Totalizer compared to calculated quantities (prog page 2)
3
Q
Evacuation, what item does CPT/FO take
A
- Captain: Crash axe, megaphone, Flashlight. Evacuate via the Mid cabin if possible and direct whole evacuation from there. Evacuate plane after all have evacuated to the extend possible
- First Officer: Signal kit, Flash light. Evacuate via the forward area if land rescue required quickly evacuate and assist passenger evacuate
4
Q
Why when you check weather and all you don’t need to check max tire speed or brake energy speed
A
- For C2B2, limits not required to be checked unless CDL and MEL are applied as these limits will not become restrictive under most stringent conditions
- For C2B6, required to check the limits when flight plans are made as follows and when CDL and MEL apply
- When airport pressure ALT at or below 2000’, TOW at or above 310.0 (T/W > 5kts) etc; when airport pressure ALT above 2000’, TOW at or above 280.0 (T/W > 5kts) etc
- Brake energy limit more restrictive than tire speed limit
5
Q
When do you need to have extra fuel?
A
- Extra fuel means the fuel loaded when the captain and the flight dispatcher consider it necessary to meet the company basic policy from the following reason:
- ATC
- Weather condition of destination, alternate airport, or en-route
- Fuel loading procedure
- Others, if any
6
Q
What meaning of MCTF in flight plan?
A
??
7
Q
The meaning of the 3 GA
A
- GA THRUST autothrottle controlling to a maximum reference trust to maintain a climb rate of at least 2000fpm
- IF both FD off reference thrust subject to flap and VMO speed limits
- GA PITCH maintain target speed or current speed whichever is higher. After 5 second new speed is commanded up to window speed plus 25kt
- GA ROLL steering indication provides guidance to maintain ground track present at mode engagement
8
Q
Why do we use center command all the time?
A
Autopilot which has various redundancy amongst different systems
9
Q
Aspect to consider during heavy weights
A
- If acceleration is made up to the maneuvering speed for the next flap during flap retraction after Take off, there is a possibility of exceeding Placard Speed (VFe) for the preceding flaps position
- To prevent the exceedance of the limitation, flight crew should remind of the followings during flap retractions:
- When airspeed becomes within 20kt from the maneuvering speed for the next flap position during flap retraction then select the flap position and accelerate up to the maneuvering speed for that flap condition
- High brake energy during RTO
- Nose heavy aircraft during rotation
- Required to fuel jettison in case of come back due to overweight for landing
- Only max thrust is available for T/O
10
Q
What happen if the endurance has been wrongly set
A
- If endurance is set to a smaller number than the actual Endurance, Search and rescue might never find the aircraft, as they will search in the given endurance range and not look further then the actual aircraft endurance range
11
Q
What action you take above FL410
A
At Least one of the pilot shall use his oxygen mask when operating above an altitude of 41000ft
12
Q
When another pilot leaves cockpit?
A
- Flight crewmember shall always have their oxygen mask ready for immediate use when operating at an altitude of 25000ft or above In the event that one of the pilot leaves his seat in the cockpit at an altitude of 25000 or above the other pilot shall use his oxygen mask until he comes back
13
Q
Question relating to WS-84 in china. review OM as china is apparently part of it now
A
??
14
Q
NRT usually 15-20 of taxi means flight late, how would you reach destination on time?
A
- The pilot can use cost index from range of 20-200
- Therefore if pilot sees that he will be late at destination he can select higher cost index
- Also taxi fuel is based on a 10 min taxi time so aircraft will have only 5-10 min delay
15
Q
Wind shear definition
A
- A change in wind speed and/or direction in a short distance resulting in a tearing or shearing effect; sometimes accompanied by turbulence 
- Indicated by TS, virga, PWS, WSAS
- Indication of W/S encounter – WSAS or unacceptable flight path deviations
- Unacceptable flight path deviations are conditions in excess of the following below 1000’AGL – 15kts, 5 degrees pitch, 500fpm, 1 dot G/S, unusual thrust lever position for a significant period of time
