Big 89 Flashcards
Explain joint responsibility
- Joint responsibility for preflight planning – review all available information
- Authority to delay a flight for safety
- Advise other party any time flight cannot be conducted IAW disp. rls.
Alternate Required
123++MMOISTERS 3585
- 123 rule
- ++ 1500’ & 2 miles above lowest mins (flag)
- Marginal weather
- Method 2
- Offline charters
- Int’l single runway or 6+hrs
- Severe icing ± 1 hr
- Thunderstorms ± 1 hr
- RNAV-only approaches
- Supplemental
- 3585 exemption
Explain Flaps optimized between 3 and 4
- Enroute icing affects approach climb limit requiring flaps 3
- Not necessary to apply if actual conditions do not warrant it
Explain method one vs method two? Standard strategy vs Obstacle? Procedures for both? Where would we see it listed?
- Method 1 – T/o weight ensures obs. clearance 1000’ w/I 5nm of route if eng fail V1 to dest
- Method 2 – Driftdown, 2000’ w/I 5nm of route, able to divert to at least 1 suitable alternate
- Standard Strategy: Desc @ 0.78/300 @ MCT to LR ceiling, then LR speed (Method 1)
- Obstacle Strategy: Desc @ green dot @ MCT until clear of obs, then revert to std strategy
If brake accumulator pressure is out of green band, how can it be charged?
- Pressurize the the YELLOW HYDRAULIC system by selecting the YELLOW ELECTRIC pump switch to on.
- DO NOT switch the YELLOW ELECTRIC pump to the on position at the gate without first consulting with the ground crew to make sure everyone is clear of the aircraft.
Explain Ground Speed Mini
At the gate with engines off, you turn on the yellow elec hyd pump. Will this action pressurize the green hyd system?
- Yes, the YELLOW ELECTRIC pump will pressurize both the GREEN and YELLOW hydraulic system via the PTU if there is greater than a 500 PSI difference between the YELLOW and GREEN hydraulic systems.
During single engine taxi, the # 2 engine must be started a minimum of how many minutes prior to take off and why?
- Start the #2 engine at least 2 minutes prior to takeoff to allow for engine stabilization and to alleviate the risk of THERMAL SHOCK to the engine.
- This also allows the CENTER FUEL TANK pumps to run for the 2 minutes required prior to takeoff to insure they are operating properly.
What temp and conditions must the engine ice be turned on and in what phase of flight?
Must be on during all ground and flight ops when icing conditions exist
- Ground:
- OAT ≤ 10˚C in visible moisture, standing water, slush, ice, snow on taxiways/runways
- In flight:
*
When is a takeoff alternate required, and requirements
- Departure airport below Cat I mins
- Alternate located:
- Within 1 hour (330nm)
- Still air
- Cruise altitude/speed
- Engine inop
- Within 1 hour (330nm)
When is the A/P required for an approach, and what other consideration (runway length)?
- Less than 4000 RVR (3/4sm) and autopilot is available
- 15% additional runway length must also be available over the Landing Field Length specified
When is an autoland required?
- ATIS reports below 2400 RVR or 1/2sm
- Cat II or III runway is available
- Autoland capable
- Both crewmembers trained
What equipment must be operational prior to flight in RVSM airspace?
(FFAT PAD)
- FWC- Flight Warning Computer (Altitude Alerter)
- FCU- Flight Control Unit
- Autopilot
- Transponder
- 2-PFD’s - Primary Flight Displays
- 2-ADR’s - Air Data Reference (#1 is required)
- 2-DMC’s - Display Monitoring Computer
What does centering the beta target with the bank index do?
- In the event of an engine failure during takeoff or on a Go Around, the sideslip index changes to BLUE. When this index is centered with the roll index, the sideslip equals the sideslip target for optimum performance. ( ENG N1 =/+ 80% with more than a 35% split in N1 Values)
If you lose the Blue Hyd system fluid, is the RAT available?
No, not without fluid
