Bold Limits Flashcards
What is the approach category of the A320 and A321?
A320 - Category C
A321 - Category D
What is Frontier’s stabilized approach policy?
At 1,000 AFE:
Steady rate of descent not to exceed 1,200FPM
On correct lateral path (1 dot ILS/LOC, .3NM RNAV or 1/2 dot VOR)
On the correct vertical path (1 dot)
In the final landing configuration (Gear & Flaps Extended, Speed Brakes Retracted)
Absent any GPWS Warnings and Cautions
At 500 AFE:
Steady rate of descent not to exceed 1,000FPM
Within -5 to +15 knots of target speed for approach
Thrust Stabilized
What are the maximum cross wind limitations for takeoff and landing?
Takeoff: 35kts
Landing: 38kts
What are the maximum tailwind limitations for takeoff and landing?
Takeoff for A320: 15kts
Takeoff for A321: 10kts
Landing for all aircraft: 10kts
What is the max wind speed for passenger door operations?
How about cargo door operations?
Maximum Wind for Passenger Door Operation: 65kts
Maximum Wind for Cargo Door Operations: 40kts/50kts(1)
1 - If the aircraft nose is oriented into the wind, or if the cargo door is on the leeward side of the aircraft, operation of the cargo door is ermitted in winds up to 50 knots. If the wind speed begins to exceed these limitations, the cargo door must be closed before the wind speed exceeds 65 kts.
What are the recommended turbulent air penetrations speeds for the A320/A321?
A320
Below FL200 - 250kts
FL200 to FL310 - 275kts
Above FL310 - 0.76 Mach
A321
Below FL200 - 270kts
FL200 to FL310 - 300kts
Above FL310 - 0.76 Mach
What is the maximum tire speed?
195 kts (groundspeed)
What is the maximum windshield wiper operation speed?
230 KIAS
What is the maximum aircraft speed with the cockpit window open?
200 KIAS
The maximum taxi speed when making a turn is ___ when the aircraft weight is greater than _____?
20 kt
167,550lbs
What is the autopilot minimum engagement height after takeoff (if SRS is indicated)?
100 feet AGL
What is the autopilot minimum engagement height enroute?
900 feet AGL
At what height must the autopilot be turned off for Non-Precision Approaches?
DDA/DA
At what height must the autopilot be turned off for a Non-Autoland ILS with CAT 1 FMA?
160 AGL
At what height must the autopilot be turned off for a Non-Autoland ILS with CAT 2/3 FMA?
80 AGL
When must the autopilot be turned off after an autoland approach?
ROLLOUT/Taxi Speed
What is the minimum height the autopilot can be engaged during a Go-Around (if SRS is indicated)?
100 AGL
At what height must the autopilot be turned off for an RNAV VISUAL APPROACH?
500 feet AGL
When is an autoland required?
Autoland is required below CAT I minimums.
Furthermore, to minimize the chances of a go around, Frontier’s policy is to set up and brief for an autoland IF the reported RVR/visibility is at or below 1/2 mile or 2400RVR AND all of the requirements for an autoland can be met (environmental, aircraft approach capability, ground equipment, etc.), the approach will be briefed and floan as a CAT II or CAT III autoland
What is the minimum engine oil quantity required prior to each flight?
CEO aircraft: 9.5 qt + .5 qt per every hour of estimated flight time
NEO aircraft: 9.0 qt + .5 qt per every hour of estimated flight time
and not below 10.6 qt
What is the minimum engine oil temperature required before takeoff?
19C
What is the maximum time limit to use TOGA thrust with all engines operating? How about if one engine is inoperative?
All Engines Operating: 5 min
One Engine Inop: 10 min
When is reduced thrust takeoff prohibited?
Slippery or contaminated runways
Suspected, reported or known windshear is present
Special Departure Procedure specifies full thrust
What is the maximum altitude that the Flaps or Slats may be extended?
20,000 feet MSL
Speed Brakes Limitation for 320NEO Aircraft
For approach, the use of speed brakes at or below 240kts is not permitted if:
GWCG is above 35%
In overweight landing conditions
