32
Q

Is an alternate required when landing at an aerodrome by day with an instrument approach procedure with no forecast

A

Yes

33
Q

You receive a “GNSS REVERTED” message on the PFD and FMS, what does this mean

A

This shows when the FMS is using the cross-side GPS sensor instead of the same side sensor, while the same side sensor is enabled. This could be the result of invalid data from the same side GPS sensor or a failed same side sensor.

34
Q

A “GNSS NOT AVAILABLE” message is displayed on the CDU, what does this indicate

A

It depends on what colour the message is…
If it is yellow – This shows when the FMS is not using GPS/GNSS position data as part of its calculations to determine position. Shows if the GPS/GNSS has been unavailable for at least 2 minutes in the terminal environment of the destination airport, or at least 30 seconds in the approach environment of the destination airport and the GPS sensors are enabled (v4.0 addition…for non-SBAS approaches. SBAS LPV approaches will show this message within 2.5secs when flying approaches requiring the GNSS sensors.)
If it is White - This shows when the FMS is not using GNSS position data as part of its calculations to determine position. Shows when the GNSS has been unavailable for at least 5 minutes in the oceanic, remote or enroute environment.

35
Q

Whilst conducting an RNAV approach you receive a green GPS APPR annunciation on the PFD. What does this mean?

A

Shows when the lateral and vertical deviation is set to the approach sensitivity level and a GNSS approach is active. Lateral +/-0.3nm, Vertical +/-250ft.

36
Q

How many GPS are installed in the aircraft and what TSO do they comply with

A

2x GPS-4000S units. They are Technical Standard Order (TSO)145 beta 3. This is equivalent to TSO146. TSO 145 means the GPS units are integrated into the total nav solution. TSO146 are stand alone GPS units.

37
Q

When are Airstrip Clearance runs required and who can conduct them?

A

2B1.17.2 Airstrip Clearance Run (Strip Run) 1. The RFDS has experienced a high number of animal strikes while landing at rural, remote and smaller regional airstrips. As a result of this, RFDS crew are to apply the following Airstrip Clearance Run (Strip Run) procedure to try to avoid animal strikes: (a) Day Operations - No requirement for a strip inspection prior to operation (b) Night Operations - The RFDS requires that a ‘strip run’ be made prior to operating to the following locations at night: (i) All locations where a known heightened or potentially heightened risk of animal hazard exists (ii) Any location where a published animal hazards exist (iii) Any location where an animal proof fences exists and there is knowledge that the fencing has been compromised. At any Aerodrome designated CTAF(R) the aerodrome operator must be contacted to conduct the strip run. QAS, QPS and SES are not equipped with aviation VHF radios and as such cannot enter the runway area of a mandatory radio required aerodrome. At aerodromes where the carriage of radio is not mandated (CTAF) the RFDSQ can request runway inspections for the purpose of animal hazard reduction. The person coordinating the request shall ask that any personnel conducting the inspection shall monitor UHF channel 5 for communication between ground staff and the aircraft.

38
Q

When are sterile cockpit procedures required

A

2B4.6 STERILE COCKPIT A sterile flight deck policy is to be observed at all times below 10,000 ft AGL, within 1000 ft of an assigned altitude during level-off including ground operations. Only matters essential and directly related to the conduct of the flight will be permitted to be discussed. Other non-essential conversation will be deferred until an appropriate time.

39
Q

9 According to RFDSQ Vol 2 what are the recommended procedures for avoiding downdraft and turbulence from thunderstorms

A
  1. Thunderstorm Avoidance — In the interests of safety and passenger comfort, the avoidance of severe thunderstorms is of paramount importance. The following procedures and distance separation standards are to be adhered to at all times.
  2. Take Off — To avoid wind reversal and down draughts, take-off is not to be commenced if, in the opinion of the PIC, an active thunderstorm is approaching and will be within 5 NM of the position of the aircraft directly after take-off. Where available, radar should be used prior to take-off, but no attempt is to be made to monitor it until the aircraft is cleaned up and established on climb.
  3. After Take Off — If a clear path is not available on the allotted departure track, the aircraft should hold clear of thunderstorms until the allotted departure track is clear or an alternative track is allotted by ATC. The following distances clear of active storms will be complied with: (a) 5 nm during climb or descent while below the freezing level. (b) Above the freezing level, gradually increase the minimum distance to 20 nm until above FL200. Use 20 nm for all operations above FL200.
  4. Flight crew should also avoid areas of electrical activity including flight immediately below the base of storms. These areas are prone to microbursts, severe turbulence, hail and lighting strikes.
  5. Descent and Approach to Land — The aircraft must be flown clear of thunderstorms either by holding or adopting an alternative Approach Track. Circuit and approach to land should be not closer than 5 NM to an active storm.
  6. Flight In Turbulence — When entering an area of anticipated moderate to severe turbulence, captains must take the following action. Use of the autopilot in accordance with the Aircraft Flight Manual procedures is preferred: (a) Switch on the seat belt sign. (b) Ensure the shoulder harness is in place. (c) Establish correct penetration speed. (d) Maintain constant attitude with reference to the AI, correcting in pitch and roll; avoid over-correction as excessive loads may be applied to the aircraft structure. (e) Avoid power alterations unless high or low speed limits are exceeded but avoid operation in the lower ranges. (f) Avoid turns, as they increase the load on the aircraft structure & also increase the stalling speed. (g) Do not chase IAS or altitude. Advise ATC if altitude cannot be maintained. (h) Both flight crew members must monitor flight instruments. (i) Turn cockpit lights to bright to reduce blinding effect in the event of a lightning strike.
40
Q

What are the Meteorological conditions required before the term CAVOK can be included in a Take-off and Landing report?

A

. CAVOK is included in reports (from staffed stations only) or forecasts when the following conditions are observed, or forecast to occur, simultaneously: visibility of 10 km or more; nil significant cloud, that is, no cloud below 5000 ft or below the highest 25 nm minimum sector altitude, whichever is greater, and no cumulonimbus or towering cumulus at any height and nil significant weather.

41
Q

You receive a Loss of Integrity warning after passing the Initial Approach Fix on an RNAV approach. Describe your actions

A

ENR 1.5 Para 1.12 Immediately carry out the missed approach. If LOI ceases when missed approach is selected the GNSS may be used for missed approach guidance. If LOI continues or there is doubt about the accuracy of the GNSS then an alternative means of guidance or DR must be used to fly the missed approach.

42
Q

Is a crack in a side widow acceptable

44
Q

Selection of flaps beyond approach with undercarriage retracted will cause what indications

A

AFM section 7 LANDING GEAR WARNING SYSTEM. Gear warning horn and LDG GEAR CONTROL lights will be activated and regardless of the power setting and neither can be cancelled.

45
Q
  1. When must contingency fuel be planned for
A

a. In accordance with CASA CAAP 234 contingency fuel must be carried to cover: (a) loss of pressurisation (b) engine failure

b. In addition, for RFDS operations, contingency fuel will also be carried for aerodromes with standby power and reliant on responsible persons to mitigate PAL failure where ATC is not in operation.

c. Pilots reliant on ‘a responsible person’, as a contingency for PAL failure, at an aerodrome with standby power available, but without ATC in operation and in lieu of an alternate, will carry 30 minutes contingency fuel calculated at the low level holding fuel flow applicable to the aircraft type. This is to cover the response time for ‘the responsible person’ to attend the aerodrome post PAL failure.

46
Q

Contingency fuel Is calculated at what rate

A

30 minutes at the low level holding rate of 500lb/hr

47
Q

When are you required to print out a completed ARM and attach it to the flight plan for record keeping

51
Q

When the FLAP OVRD is active what functions are supressed?

A

Disables the GPWS mode 4b alert, TOO LOW FLAPS and desensitizes the mode 1 alert boundaries.
Reference, POH 7-107
Mode 1 excessive descent rate boundaries are desensitised to allow higher rates of descent with flaps in the non landing configuration (a 300feet/min bias is applied). The system is forced into Mode 2b which is a desensitised alerting envelope, normally only when flaps are selected down. Also desensitises mode 3 (altitude loss after takeoff). Also prevents/silences the too low flaps callout which is Mode 4B. EGPWS Mk VI and VIII pilots guide.

52

Q

While cruising at FL320, you notice the oil pressure is falling rapidly, and elect to shut down the offending engine. As the aircraft will not maintain FL320 on one engine, what power setting and speed would you ‘Drift down’ at?

A

Answer, max allowable power, 2000 rpm, 135 kts. FCTM2 section 11.4.4
Note: If 121kts were set as the drift down speed, the aircraft will have minimum rate of descent, however will level out slightly above single engine service ceiling and maintain 121 kts. This final speed and cruise altitude would be rather slow and high respectively in regard to terrain considerations in Australia. Drifting down at 135kts would still provide a final cruise altitude well above any terrain in Australia
