A

distinguish surface features underneath

22
Q

Hail has a diameter range of

A

5 to 50mm

23
Q

Ice pellet have a diameter of….

A

5mm or less

24
Q

A pre-take off Contamination inspection is carried out by……

A

the flight crew from inside the aircraft (within the HOT range)

25
Q

A pre-take-off contamination check is carried out by…..

A

Ground crew from the outside (after the HOT time has elapsed)

26
Q

Sleet should be treated as…..

A

Light freezing rain

27
Q

Under certain conditions, clear ice or failed anti-icing fluid is detected…

A

by touching the surface

28
Q

At temperatures below…….TYPE…… fluids are no longer effective

A

below approx -30, TYPE 1

29
Q

Are lower wing surface ice ridges acceptable and of what size?

A

No

30
Q

Which type of fluid is NOT approved on KA acft?

A

TYPE 3

31
Q

When specific fluid data is not available, use……

A

Generic holdover Charts for TYPE 1,2,4

32
Q

The lower HOT value is for ……and the higher HOT value is for……

A

Moderate / Light precipitation

33
Q

Where are the HOT tables for heavy precipitation found?

A

They do not exist

34
Q

Under which precipitation condition is T/O or landing not approved?

A

Moderate or Heavy Freezing Rain (FZRA,+FZRA), Moderate or Heavy Freezing Drizzle (FZDZ,+FZDZ)

35
Q

Definition of contaminated runway

A

more than 25% of the rwy surface covered by more than 3mm of water or equivalent, compressed snow, ice and wet ice

36
Q

When is a runway considered wet?

A

When the surface is covered with 3mm or less of water or equivalent

37
Q

When is landing not permitted with reference to braking action

A

Braking action poor Friction coefficient at or less than 0.25mu

38
Q

What would you do if you see “ANTI ICE FAULT” on the overhead panel?

A

Try increase N3 by about 5%.

39
Q

On the ground, when would you do engine run up, what is the procedure?

A

When engine anti ice required & OAT 1º or less

Run engine to 50% N1 for 10 secs at intervals not greater than 1 hour and again just before take off.
Check take off parameters
– no vibration and N1 of approx 75% to 80% , less when cold and more when hot.

VIBRATION ADVISORIES
N1 : > 3.3 units, N2: > 2.6 units, N3: > 4.0 units

40
Q

If the holdover time was exceeded, what should you do?

A

Ground Engineer should conduct a Pre Take Off Contamination Check.
If not possible to conduct this check, or not possible to take off within 5 mins of conducting the check, aircraft must return for de icing / anti icing.

41
Q

Is Hoarfrost acceptable on the aircraft prior to takeoff ?

A

Hoarfrost is a white crystalline deposit, which usually develops uniformally on exposed surfaces on cold and cloudless nights. It is so thin that you can distinguish surface features (lines or markings beneath it)

It is allowed:

  • Underside the wing tank area, a max of 3mm (1/8 inch) of frost will not penalize takeoff performance.
  • On upper surfaces of fuselage

Critical surfaces eg, leading edges, upper surfaces of wings, vertical stab, horizontal stab, all critical surfaces, slats, flaps must be clear of snow, Frost & ice for takeoff

42
Q

The following must be free of frost, ice & snow

A
  1. L/G assembly (lever locks) , L/G doors
  2. Tyres
  3. Engine inlet, inlet lips, fans – check for rotation , spinners, fan exhaust ducts, reverser assembly, drains, bleeds, probes (pitot & statics, TAT sensors, A of A sensors)
  4. Fuel tank ventilation
  5. Radome
  6. Commercial water supplies not frozen & refilled ( emptied prior to cold soak).
43
Q

Engine OIL Temp – minimums

A

Min prior to start : NONE
Min prior to exceeding idle : NONE
Min prior to take off : +20º C

44
Q

When selecting WING ANTI ICE on, on the ground, what indications should you see?

A
  • Amber ◄ between the pre cooler and PFCV until the wing anti ice valve opens, ( 5 – 10 secs) then
  • Green◄ For 30 secs, then
  • Amber ◄ while the wing anti ice valve closes, then the triangle disappears
45
Q

When would you see the ECAM memo

“ICE DETECTED”

A

Ice detected once, by either detector, and flight at or above 1500ft, TAT < 10°C and ENG A. ICE pb OFF.

46
Q

When would you see the ECAM memo

“ICE NOT DET”

A

Displayed if ice is no longer detected after 130 seconds, when Engine anti ice / Wing anti ice is selected ON.

47
Q

When would you see the ECAM memo

“SEVERE ICE DETECTED”

A

Ice detected 7 times by either detector, in flight at or above 1500ft, TAT < 10°C, and WING A. ICE pb OFF

48
Q

Under what runway conditions, takeoff is not recommended?

A

‐ Wet ice,
‐ Water on top of Compacted Snow,
‐ Dry Snow or Wet Snow over Ice.
