C3 Flashcards
When would you start a diversion in case of a fire or smoke?
Go slow run the checklist
Smoke fire fume
(First action to divert is Step 12)
Smoke fire removal checklist
If you have a red alert bomb threat and divert within 25 minutes, what type of disembarkation are you going to do?
Perhaps a precautionary disembarkation using the slides.
Coordination with ISM
Can use evacuation checklist as guide
(Don’t use words evacuate evacuate)
ALTERNATIVELY:
Emergency landing with emergency evacuation.
Keep comms with cabin crew standard, then everybody knows they will be evacuating using the slides.
If you have a red alert bomb threat and divert within 25 minutes, what type of disembarkation are you going to do?
EMERGENCY LANDING WITH EMERGENCY EVACUATION
OR MAYBE
Perhaps a precautionary disembarkation using the slides.
Coordination with ISM
Can use evacuation checklist as guide
(Don’t use words evacuate evacuate)
High speed diversion:
What are some good gates:
Latest start descent?
Latest for Non Normals
Latest slow down from VmO?
75NM latest for direct descent
(basically 6 degree slope)
40NM or 10,000 (no more non normals, focus on Normals)
- AIIPS
- LPA
- cold corrections
- AFAARTLBRN
10 or 15 nm ring (3000’/4500’)
(330knots until 10-15nm)
- wind speed back to Ref+5
- full speed brake
- 270 knot = gear down F20
- gear down? Landing flaps
- landing checklist
Finished Deicing and supp procedure?
What flow to get back into shape?
Stabilised flow
(especially is close to runway)
- If not, ask for 2 min at hold point
- AFTTR (flap trim recall)
- flight control, terrain/wx, cabin crew
- BTOC
4 mm loose snow? What to consider for take off perf?
No AST
(OPT will help you with this)
Add buffer to:
weight
Temp
QNH
For de-icing, best apps for timer?
CPA HOT
AML
Aircrew tools
Flight Crew actions in the event of a discovery of a chemical or biological agent in the air?
10.2 .5
Immediately done the oxygen masks at 100% oxygen
Maximise skin coverage
Reduce cabin temperature to lowest practical
Turn off recirculation fans immediately
Declare emergency and commence diversion
(Media change in cabin pressure should not be initiated until the device has been secured)
Action in the event of a chemical or biological agent activation?
10.2.5.3
Follow same steps as biological or chemical agent found in Flight:
Also:
Rapid descent and diversion to nearest suitable airport is essential
Raise cabin altitude as quickly as possible to evacuate and dilute airborne agents
Select passenger oxygen on and instruct cabin crew to use oxygen
If there is a suspected bomb on board, when should the decision to search happen?
10.2.4.4
If you can land within 30 minutes, emphasis must be to prepare the aircraft and cabin for landing.
Landing cannot be achieved within 30 minutes. PC may require an aircraft surge to be carried out.
Decision to divert should not be delayed while waiting for a search.
Instead, a diversion should be initiated and search carried out if time permits
When should the least risk bomb Location LRBL be used?
If there is significant risk that the device could detonate before aircraft landing.
(i.e. timer countdown shows 15 minutes, and nearest landing is 30 minutes away)
It is easier and probably safer to secure the device where it is and move passengers away. Rather than pick up the bomb and move it to the back door.
What is the LRBL on the triple seven?
Door 5R
If diversion because of a medical emergency, maybe needed what should you do?
Oma 8.9 page 7
PIC should consider all options and notify IOC Via SATCOM of preferred diversion airports.
Flow:
Ask FO to get weather and NOTAMs for
2 closest airports
PIC CALL IOC SATCOM
- patch in MEDLINK
- inform of 2 closest SUITABLE airports
- confirm MEDLINK requires diversion
(Suitability of airport rests on PIC)
Is an overweight landing due to a sick passenger okay?
Yes
8.3.3 0.8.1
Submit ASR and AML
- Transition speed 330
-Declare medical emergency request high speed - Speed 250 at 5000
If an aircraft diverts due to illness, it is requirement that an ACARS be sent to IOC with what info？
Sick passenger details, destination and ETA
Also make sure that you inform ATC
When to contact MEDLINK?
Passenger or Crew suffering medical problem allergic reaction epilepsy burns to infants or children which require medical assistance.
Crewmember removed from Duty for medical reasons
If cabin crew have paged for a doctor
(Midlink should be called as they have priority)
Suspected case of communicable disease
Determining a passengers Fitness to travel
Format when contacting MEDLINK?

Does not normally warrant the diversion of a flight
Primary reason for medical diversion in immediate emergency life-saving measure
As rule of thumb, increasing TAT by 10 degrees requires an increase of speed by how much?
Approx 100 knots
180 to 280
(Heavy ice in TMA near freezing)
8.3.12.16
What is a method of core ice shedding if severe vibration is occurring due to icing?
Reduce one thrust at time to idle for five seconds.
If persist , advancing momentarily may also assist shedding the ice
8.3.12.16
Anticipate the use of anti-ice in descent what will it do to your profile?
Descent with increased thrust this will decrease the descent rate and increase the distance required for descent
How do you know if the engine has encountered an irrecoverable stall?
Indicated if the EGT remains high with the thrust lever at idle.
Engine can only be restored by shutdown and restart
Is a visual inspection or physical check required after the aircraft has been deiced?
Amended Answer: no. Only if lower limit time exceeded.
Yes, a visual or physical check shall be carried out when required of the critical surfaces to confirm the treatment has been effective and agrees with the clean aircraft concept
(Iceman confirmation allows this?)
8.2.6.1
The icing complete
start time and END time
CONFIGURE.
GO HAVE A LOOK or confirm with ICEMAN
WING LIGHTS ON.
What is sleet?
Mixture of rain and snow
Considered light sleet as -FZRA
During two-step de ice andanti ice.
Which one occurs first?
De ice first.
Then anti ice.
Use anti ice start time for maximum HOT
What is HOT hold overtime and when does it start?
Estimated time that an application of ANTI ICE fluid is effective for.
Starts at beginning of
application of Type 4
8.2.6.2
Definition definitions
What is the primary method of determining the water content or precipitation when choosing a hold overtime HOT?
Liquid water equivalent system
(LWES) shall be used
Metar base calculations are used as fallback only when LWES not available
What is the only type of deicing fluid that is not approved by Cathay aircraft?
Type three
not approved for use on company aircraft
Can type one fluids be used as anti-icing?
Yes, however, the holdover times will be significantly shorter than type two and type four
8.2.6.4
What colour is type one type two and type four de icing fluids?
Type one orange
Type two colourless
Type for Green
If the options for deicing fluid are
100/0 75/25 or 50/50
But all they have is 80/20 as dilution which hold overtime should you use?
The more conservative one so in this case use 75/25
Can we depart if the METAR is showingFZDZ , +FZRA ETC…?
METAR is now secondary to LWES.
IF LWES provides a HOT, you can use it.
If need to use METAR,
Can’t depart in
FZDZ
+FZDZ
FZRA
+FZRA
Does the LWES system respect the LOUT?
Yes
LWES will not generate HOT when the sense temperature for the selected fluid is below the LOUT
PIC will not takeoff under which of the following icing conditions?
8.2.6.5
METAR with moderate or heavy freezing rain or drizzle
Light moderate or heavy GR
Hail (GS)
Heavy ice pellets (+PL)
Approaching landing PIC shall not conduct an approach and landing at airports where which freezing weather conditions are occurring
Moderate or heavy freezing drizzle or freezing rain
If using the Metar based HOT,
Are you allowed to take off past your longest holdover time if the precipitation has stopped?
Oma 8.2 p-16
Takeoff is allowed up to 90 minutes after the start of the fluid application if the precipitation stops at before the allowance time expires and does not restart
The outside air temperature must not decrease during the 90 minute period
ICAO recommends that ATC apply low temperature corrections to radar control, are radar vectors in China cold temperature corrected?
No.
8.1.1.4
Above what altitude is cold temperature correction no longer required?
Above the temperature corrected
25 nautical mile MSA
Do engine inoperative acceleration heights require low temperature correction for TAKEOFF?
No.
OPT EO RTOW performance calculations use the input temperature when producing engine inoperative acceleration heights and are valid for low temperatures
8.1.1.4.3
Is altitude adjustment required for an engine out Missed Approach procedure and EO acceleration height?
MAP climb gradients based on ISA+15.
EO MAP accel heights require temp correction
8.1.4.3
What is the primary aim in a hijacking situation?
Keep the hijacker out of the Flight at all costs
10.2.3.1
Aside from keeping the hijacker out of the Flight deck, what is the primary responsibility of the Flight Crew if hijacking situation?
Land the aircraft at the nearest suitable airfield
10.2.3.1
What are the four levels of disruptive behaviour?
Level one disruptive behaviour
(PIC and SCCM file written report)
Level two physically abusive behaviour
(Advise ATC and company and request appropriate law enforcement)
(Consider diversion and landing plan in case of escalation)
Level three life-threatening behaviour
(Declare emergency, squawk 7500, consider diversion to nearest suitable, ACARS SITUATION, prepare for interception, after landing push fire switches and disconnect IDG’s)
Level 4 - attempted breach or actual breach of the Flight deck
- Declare emergency and divert nearest suitable
- squawk 7500 andACARS hijackmessage

Why does the bomb warning in Flight checklist Have you pull the landing altitude selector and descend to that altitude?
High differential pressure makes the blast pressure wave bigger.
Therefore depressurising the aircraft could help in the case of an actual explosion.
It is not essential.
What are some Flight procedures that can help if you have a red bomb warning and you are coming in for landing?
Slow down to reduce aerodynamic loads
Descending to reduce cabin differential pressure
Consider extension of landing gear and flaps to achieve configuration early
(20-30nm to landing)
10 above?
Depressurise, and configure for landing
In the event of a bomb warning in Flight if Landing can be achieved under how much time should a search be forgotten and just a normal safe landing be made?
If it is possible to land within a reasonable time. Then the emphasis must be to prepare the aircraft for landing.
30 minutes
