Core Memory Items

Question 1

LOSS OF BRAKING

Answer 1

• If no braking:

REV . . . . MAX
BRAKE PEDALS . . . . RELEASE
A/SKID OFF . . . . ORDER
A/SKID & N/W STRG . . . . OFF
BRAKE PEDALS . . . . PRESS
MAX BRK PR . . . . 1000 PSI

• If still no braking:

PARK BRAKE . . . . USE

On some aircraft, the ABCU will automatically limit the brake pressure to 1000 PSI, whereas this must be done by the crew on other aircraft.

Question 2

EMER DESCENT

Answer 2

CREW OXY MASKS . . . . USE
SIGNS . . . . ON
EMER DESCENT . . . . INITIATE

• If A/THR not active:

THR LEVERS . . . . IDLE
SPD BRK . . . . FULL

• TCAS still takes precedent over the emergency descent.
• If A/C remains at FL180, make PA: ‘Passengers and Crew - keep masks on!’ and give guidance to approximate duration of Oxygen requirement.
• Once level at FL140 or below, notify the cabin crew: ‘The descent is now complete - will the SCCM report to the flight deck’.
• Flight crew must keep oxygen until cabin alt is below 10,000 ft.

Question 3

STALL RECOVERY

Answer 3

NOSE DOWN PITCH CONTROL . . . . APPLY
BANK . . . . WINGS LEVEL

• When out of the stall (no longer stall indications)

THRUST . . . . INCREASE SMOOTHLY AS NEEDED
SPEEDBRAKES . . . . CHECK RETRACTED
FLIGHT PATH . . . . RECOVER SMOOTHLY

• If in clean configuration below 20 000 ft:

FLAP 1 . . . . SELECT

Question 4

STALL WARNING AT LIFTOFF

Answer 4

THRUST . . . . TOGA

• At the same time:

PITCH ATTITUDE . . . . 15
BANK . . . . WINGS LEVEL

Question 5

UNRELIABLE SPEED INDICATION

Answer 5

• If the safe conduct of the flight is impacted:

AP . . . . OFF
A/THR . . . . OFF
FD . . . . OFF

PITCH/ THRUST:

Below THRUST RED ALT . . . . 15/TOGA
Above THRUST RED ALT and Below FL 100 . . . . 10/CLB
ABOVE THRUST RED ALT and Above FL 100 . . . . 5/CLB
FLAPS (if CONF 0,1,2,3) . . . . MAINTAIN CURRENT CONF
FLAPS (if CONF FULL) . . . . SELECT CONF 3 AND MAINTAIN
SPEEDBRAKES . . . . CHECK RETRACTED
L/G . . . . UP

When at, or above MSA or Circuit Altitude: Level off for troubleshooting

Question 6

TERRAIN OR OBSTACLE CAUTIONS

Answer 6

Simultaneously:

AP . . . . OFF
PITCH . . . . PULL UP

Pull to full backstick and maintain in that position

THRUST . . . . LEVERS TOGA
SPEEDBRAKES LEVER . . . . CHECK RETRACTED
BANK . . . . WINGS LEVEL or ADJUST

DO NOT CHANGE CONFIGURATION UNTIL CLEAR OF OBSTACLE

Question 7

EGPWS WARNINGS

Answer 7

Simultaneously:

AP . . . . OFF
PITCH . . . . PULL UP

Pull to full backstick and maintain in that position

THRUST . . . . LEVERS TOGA
SPEEDBRAKES LEVER . . . . CHECK RETRACTED
BANK . . . . WINGS LEVEL or ADJUST

DO NOT CHANGE CONFIGURATION UNTIL CLEAR OF OBSTACLE

Question 8

ALL OTHER GPWS CAUTIONS

Answer 8

• “SINK RATE” - “TOO LOW GEAR” - “TOO LOW FLAPS”:
  GO-AROUND . . . . PERFORM
• “GLIDESLOPE”:
  GO-AROUND . . . . CONSIDER
• “DON’T SINK”:
  FLIGHT PATH . . . . ADJUST

Question 9

TCAS CAUTION

Answer 9

If the AP/FD TCAS mode is available:

TCAS mode . . . . CHECK ARMED

If the A/THR is off:
AUTOTHRUST . . . . ON

Question 10

TCAS WARNING with AP/FD TCAS

Answer 10

• All RA, except any CLIMB RA during approach in CONF 3 or FULL:
• If the AP is OFF:

FD ORDERS . . . . FOLLOW
The AP can be engaged

VERTICAL SPEED . . . . MONITOR

• Any CLIMB RA during approach in CONF 3 or FULL:

GO-AROUND . . . . PERFORM
VERTICAL SPEED . . . . MONITOR
ATC . . . . NOTIFY

• When the “CLEAR OF CONFLICT” aural alert sounds:

AP/FD . . . . MONITOR/FOLLOW
ATC . . . . NOTIFY
LATERAL AND VERTICAL GUIDANCE . . . . ADJUST
SPEED . . . . ADJUST

Respect stall, GPWS or windshear warnings.
5s reaction for initial RA and 2.5s for a reversion

Question 11

TCAS WARNING

Answer 11

• All RA, except any CLIMB RA during approach in CONF 3 or FULL:

AP (if engaged) . . . . OFF
BOTH FDs . . . . OFF
VERTICAL SPEED . . . . ADJUST or MAINTAIN

• Any CLIMB RA during approach in CONF 3 or FULL:

GO-AROUND . . . . PERFORM
VERTICAL SPEED . . . . MONITOR
ATC . . . . NOTIFY

• When the “CLEAR OF CONFLICT” aural alert sounds:

ATC . . . . NOTIFY
LATERAL AND VERTICAL GUIDANCE . . . . ADJUST
AP/FD . . . . AS RQRD

Respect stall, GPWS, or windshear warnings. 5s reaction for initial RA and 2.5s for a reversion

Question 12

WINDSHEAR WARNING

Answer 12

• At Takeoff:
• If before V1:

If there are significant variations in airspeed, and in airspeed trend below the indicated V1, reject the takeoff.

• If after V1:

THR LEVERS . . . . TOGA
REACHING VR . . . . ROTATE
SRS ORDERS . . . . FOLLOW

(Full backstick is available. If the FD bars are not displayed target an initial pitch of 17.5 and adjust).

• Airborne, initial climb or landing:

THR LEVERS AT TOGA . . . . SET OR CONFIRM
AP (if engaged) . . . . KEEP ON
SRS ORDERS . . . . FOLLOW

DO NOT CHANGE CONFIG UNTIL OUT OF WINDSHEAR
