Day 1 Ground School Flashcards
Autothrottle OFF (takeoff thrust setting)
PF: Sets 40% N1, advances thrust levers, removes hands and call: ‘Set takeoff thrust’
PM: Set thrust for T/O and call: ‘Takeoff thrust set’
Autothrottle ON(takeoff thrust setting)
PF: sets 40% N1, when stable push TO/GA, remove hand
PM: call ‘Takeoff thrust set’
Autopilot OFF(Flap setting)
PF: Set Flaps 5 + Call: ‘Set speed ‘5’
PM Call: Speed ‘5’ set
PF Call: ‘checked’
Autopilot ON(Flap setting)
PF: Call: Flaps ‘5’ and Call: Speed ‘5’ set
PM: Call: ‘checked’
‘80 kts’ + ‘Checked’ call on takeoff roll(marks/verifies?):
- Verifies Air Data systems are working
- Incapacity check on other pilot
- Marks changeover from Low speed to High speed regime

Operating Minima:
CAT IIIA
DH/DA = 50ft RVR = 200m
Operating Minima:
CAT II
DH/DA = 100ft RVR = 300m
Operating Minima:
CAT I
DH/DA = 200ft RVR = 550m
Operating Minima:
NPA
DH/DA = 400ft RVR = 800m
Operating minima:
T/O Alternate has to be within … Hr flight time with (N-1)
1, (which approximates 350NM)
Planning Minima:
CAT II/III
Ceiling = n/a RVR/Visibility = CAT 1 (550m)
Planning Minima:
CAT I
Ceiling = NPA MDH RVR/Visibility = NPA Vis/RVR
Planning Minima:
NPA
Ceiling = NPA MDH + 200ft RVR/Visibility = NPA Vis/RVR + 1000m
Planning Minima:
Circling
Ceiling = Circling MDH RVR/Visibility = Circling Vis
For Enroute alternate and Destination alternate in the planning phase you use which …. minima?
Planning Minima
MEL =
And is used untill:
Minimum Equipment List
Used until a/c moves under own power(than QRH is leading)
CDL =
Configuration Deviation List
QRH =
Quick reference Handbook
Rectification interval MEL items A = B = C = D =
A - No standard interval (before next flight usually)
B - 3 consecutive days
C - 10 consecutive days
D - 120 consecutive days
FMC reserve fuel consists of:
Final reserve fuel + Alternate fuel
Contingency Fuel used at EPST is:
3% of trip fuel with an ERA available
Other Contingency fuel rules:
1 - 5% of planned trip fuel
2 - 20 Min of flying based on planned trip fuel provided the operator has a fuel consumption monitoring programma for individual aeroplanes
3 - a statistical method provided the operator has a fuel consumption monitoring program for each city pair/individual aeroplane combination
or
An amount to fly for 5 minutes at holding speed at 1500ft above Destination in ISA
An operator must have at least 1 Dest alternate unless:
1 - planned flight time is <6Hr
2 - 2 separate runways are available and usable at Dest
3 - forecasted VIS ≥5000m
4 - cloudbase ≥ circling height +500ft or 2000ft
Fuel upon arrival at Dest aerodrome must not be less then:
1 - Final reserve fuel + Alternate fuel
2 - Final reserve fuel if no Alternate aerodrome required
The commander shall declare emergency when the calculated usable fuel upon landing at the nearest adequate aerodrome , where safe landing can be performed, is less than:
Final reserve fuel
Threats are defined as:
Events or errors that occur beyond the influence of the flight crew, increase operational complexity, and which must be managed to maintain the margin of safety.
Name the 3 categories of threats: (TEM model)
1 - anticipated threats (known to crew)
2 - unanticipated threats (occur suddenly)
3 - latent threats (not directly obvious/observable by the crew)
Threats should be:
detected promptly enough to enable the flight crew to respond to them before UAS develops
Each threat can be classifies as:
1 - environmental (weather, ATC, airport)
2 - organizational (operational pressure, aircraft, cabin)
Errors are defined as:
Actions or inactions by the flight crew, that lead to deviations from organizational or flight crew intensions or expectations
the Human error consists of (2):
1 - Skill based error (Slip of action or Memory lapse)
2 - Mistake (Rule-based or knowledge-based)
UASs are defined as:
A position, attitude, or configuration of an aircraft that: results from flight crew error, actions, or inactions; and clearly reduces safety margins
Name the 3 categories of UAS (TEM model)
1 - A/C Handling
2 - Ground handling
3 - incorrect A/C configuration
The outcome of an UAS can be:
- Incident
- ASR
- Accident
Up to 70% of crew activities are countermeasures related to (3):
1 - planning countermeasures: essential for managing anticipated and unexpected threats
2 - execution countermeasures: essential for error detection and error response
3 - review countermeasures: essential for managing the changing conditions of a flight
