Classic Questions Flashcards
When must TOGA thrust be used for take-off?
- Windshear
- Low Vis
- Performance (RTOW)
- MEL’s
- Airmanship
PLAWM ;)
What is the maximum depth of water that can be accepted for take-off and landing?
3mm
Is take-off or landing allowed on a contaminated runway?
No, not at VARA
Maximum altitude is defined as
Maximum altitude at maximum cruise thrust in level flight
- Maximum altitude at maximum climb thrust with 300 ft/min vertical speed
- Maximum certified altitude
- 1.3 g buffet limited altitude.
When will we get a triple click?
- An uncommanded mode reversion
2. Downgrade landing capability
When will the Autopilot automatically disconnect?
Onside FMGC Fault
Max speed protection
>45deg AoB
When is EAI required?
When icing conditions exist except during CLB/CRZ when SAT
When is WING AI required?
-May be turned on for ice prevention
-MUST turn on if evidence of ice accumulation
(visual indicator, wipers, ECAM SEVERE ICE DETECTED)
If the ENG ANTI ICE pb is set to ON and the valves do not open (FAULT LIGHT remains ON) ….
Increase the N2 of the associated engine by about 5%
When the valves are open retard the thrust levers to idle
What happens on the ground if WING ANTI ICE is switched ON?
the anti ice valves open for about 30sec for a self test sequence, then close as long as the aircraft is on the ground
What can be done to reduce odours in the cabin after APU start?
Wait 3 mins prior to selecting APU BLEED ON
How is a complete (full) align accomplished?
gravity and earth rotation to determine aircraft attitude and heading and latitude
IR MODE selectors OFF for >5 sec, then
Back to NAV
How is a fast align accomplished?
reset of GS and internal filters to zero
IR MODE selectors OFF for less than 5 sec, then
Back to NAV
What does the brake pressure zero check on YUD indicate?
Successful changeover to the normal braking system
green pressure has taken over yellow pressure
YUD brake pressure check:
may a brief brake pressure indication appear on the indicator?
Is maintenance action required in this case?
Yes.
No maintenance action is required if peak pressure <2000psi
What does spongy pedal feel during taxi indicate when in YUD?
Degraded performance of the alternate braking system
spongy pedals can change the feeling of braking
During take-off, when is the connection between NWS and rudder pedals removed?
130kts
In strong crosswinds, more rudder application required at this point
In strong crosswind, with small amount of into wind sidestick what position must the side stick be in for the lift off?
Neutral -wings must be level
When is a tailstrike most likely to occur?
Crosswinds
Turbulence
Windshear
On long runways, which flap setting provides the highest tailstrike margin?
Highest Flap Confing
What should be done if a tailstrike occurs at take-off?
Return to originating airport for damage assessment.
Flight at altitude requiring a pressurised cabin must be avoided
Which spoilers are Speed Brakes?
Spoilers 2, 3 and 4
When is Speed Brake extension inhibited?
- SEC 1 and 3 both faulty
- An Elevator (L or R) is faulty
- Flaps in Config FULL
- Thrust Levers above MCT
- Angle of Attack Protection is active
- Alpha Floor active
What happens if an inhibition occurs when the Speed Brake is extended?
They retract automatically
until the inhibition condition disappears, and
Flight crew resets the lever
When can the Speed Brakes be extended again after autoretraction due inhibition
10 sec or more after speed brake lever is reset
What does a white background on a title of an abnormal or emergency precedure mean?
Procedure is displayed on ECAM
What does a grey background on a title of an abnormal or emergency precedure mean?
Procedure is NOT displayed on ECAM
What does a black square in a Procedure indicate?
A starting point
What does a black DOT in a procedure indicate?
A pre-condition
How are Memory items depicted in a Procedure?
They are surrounded by a box
