Q

WHAT ARE THE FUEL URGENCIE CALLS?

A

MINIMUM FUEL call means that all planned aerodrome options have been reduced to a specific aerodrome and committed to it. Could mean landing with less than FINAL RESERVE.

MAYDAY FUEL. When a landing means with less than planned reserve.

Q

WHAT ARE THE DIFFERENCES BETWEEN THE PRECAUTIONARY LANDING AND EMERGENCY LANDING?

A

PRECAUTIONARY-under normal circumstances there will be no ne requirement for the CC to evacuate.
PRE-PLANNED EMERGENCY LANDING- could mean FORCED landing or EMER on the ground. 3-10mins to secure the cabin and brief CC.

Q

TALK ABOUT THE FIRE DETECTION SYSTEM AND IT’S LOOPS?

A

The ENGs and APU have:
-2 loops A + B
- Fire Detection Unit
Once A+B senses heat above a TEMP the fire warning is triggered.

the loops consist of 3/4 ENG fire sensing elements in the:
-Nacelle pylon, ENG core, ENG fan section
-1 in the APU compartment.
Once an sensing element detects heat a signal is sent to the FDU

Q

WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN A GRN HYD PUMP FAIL AND LOSS OF FLUID?

A

Loss of fluid will mean loss that system and the associated flight controls.

loss of pump is less of a problem as the PTU will pressurize the green system.
