Q

Engine Damage is…

A

Two or more of the following -

~Rapid increase of EGT above the red line
~Important mismatch of the rotor speeds or no rotation
~Significant increase of aircraft vibration, or buffeting or both
~Hydraulic system loss
~Repeated or uncontrollable engine stalls

The sim will show xx for engine damage

Q

Stall

A

STALL I HAVE CONTROL

Nose down pitch…apply
Bank…wings level

When out of the stall

Thrust…Increase smoothly as needed
Speedbrakes…Check retracted
Flight path…recover

If clean and below 20,000ft

Flap 1…select

Q

Unreliable Airspeed

A

UNRELIABLE AIRSPEED

If the safe conduct of flight is impacted

AP…off
FD…off
ATHR…off

Pitch/Thrust
Below thrust reduction alt…TOGA/15•
Below 10,000ft…CLB/10•
Above 10,000ft…CLB/5•

If flaps 0-3…Maintain config
If flaps full…Select config 3
Speedbrakes…check retracted
Landing gear…Up

When at or above MSA of circuit altitude, level off for troubleshooting

To level use pitch thrust tables in QRH and GPS altitude

If the safe conduct of flight is NOT impacted

Run ECAM first otherwise QRH
You may need to go back and forth between the two but don’t forget to finish QRH

When using Manual Cabin Pressure -
Go to PRESS pg or CRUISE

Switch UP will open the outflow valve making cabin altitude go UP

Switch DOWN will close the outflow valve making cabin altitude go DOWN

Prior to approach go to PRESS pg and hold switch fully up until you see the valve in the fully open position

When using Back Up Nav -

Select the guarded NAV
Select ILS and tune freq
Press Stby/Crs button and tune inbound course
Select LS Rose
HDG window dial in the inbound course

If the pitch becomes out of control because of the aircraft protections going too far then turn off 2 ADRs to go into Alternate Law

Q

Cabin Decompression

A

Aircraft control
Check and confirm problem
MOME

EMERGENCY DESCENT

Oxygen Masks…Use (ACP Int for mike)
Seatbelt Signs…On
Emergency Descent…Initiate

Alt set and pull, Hdg set and pull, Speed pull

THR IDLE - HDG - OP DES

If A/Thr not active…Thrust levers Idle

Speedbrake…Full (carefully)

If no damage then increase airspeed

MOME
Oxygen Pax Masks can be turned on early if obvious that the cabin altitude will exceed 14,000ft (Don’t confuse MASK MAN ON with RAT)
Level at 10,000ft and settle aircraft in cruise
Remove masks, deactivate mic by closing left door of stowage and resetting slide controller
Assess Condition
Call cabin

Q

When do you Cancel Approach vs Go-around procedure?

A

When on an ILS, GLS or FINAL APP approach

And above FCU altitude (you can do either)
Say CANCEL APPROACH and press APPR button
Adjust lateral, vertical, speed as required

When below the FCU altitude you must do the missed approach procedure

Q

What can happen if you overfly the runway without being in go-around?

A

It goes to DONE and deletes FMGC so either activate secondary or go-around mode

Unless you haven’t activated approach mode

43
Data changes before Take Off
PF delegates FMS updates to the PM PF either stops aircraft or transfers control to PM and checks these changes For Wx changes - redo Final Performance calc and check flap setting is correct For SID/Rwy changes - see QRH SOP Departure Change Brief changes only Before Takeoff Checklist

When to use Flap 3 for landing…
When there is a threat of WS or turbulence in the go round Gusty conditions A321 has a more responsive approach speed in flap 3
46
Loss of GPS
1. Both sides? 2. Change RNP value? 3. Visual or ILS or vectors 4. Go around or divert

Precautionary Landing Quick Prepared Emergency Landing Full Prepared Emergency Landing Sudden Emergency
Precautionary Landing- No announcement to passengers, landing is not expected to result in an evacuation, normal cabin preparation. Quick Prepared Emergency Landing- Possible evacuation after landing, minimal preparation, usually occurs after take off or TOD Full Prepared Emergency Landing- Possible evacuation after landing, full cabin preparation, usually occurs during full service Sudden Emergency- Emergency brace
