Q

Temperatures

A 
SAT - static air temperature (when moving)
OAT - Outside air temperature 
TAT - total air temperature 
Ram Rise - thermal heat of friction
TAT = SAT + ram rise

Q

Wing anti ice use when:

A

ON GROUND
When icing conditions exist or are anticipated
- use between engine start and T/O
- do NOT use when a/c will be anti-iced

IN FLIGHT
Visual ice accumulation (on window) OR extended operations in moderate/severe icing conditions, such as holding.

Q

Icing on the airframe / de- and anti-icing

A
  • No ice or snow on upper surface
  • Lower surfaces, max 3mm light coating of frost

One step: only de-icing (HOT) is started when de-icing started
Two step: step 1 is de-icing, step 2 is anti-icing (HOT is started once anti-icing (step 2) is started)
- step 1 removes ice build-up
- step 2 protects for new ice build-up

Q

Use supp Procedure - cold WX OPS

Before to, to, after ldg

A 
BEFORE T/O
- leave flaps up until entering runway
- taxi slowly/ low power - jet blast
- enough space between a/c
- engine run-up > 30 sec @ 70% N1
TAKEOFF
- use full thrust > no derate
AFTER LANDING
- leave flaps in landing config until after inspection of ground

Q

Four fluid types

A

Type 1 - orange - unthickened (de-icing)
Type 2 - white - thickening (minimum 50% glycol)
Type 3 - yellow - NOT used on jet a/c
Type 4 - green - thickening (minimum 50% glycol with longest HOT)

Q

Definition Holdover Time

A

The estimated time that deicing/anti-icing fluid will prevent the formation of frost or ice and the accumulation of snow on the critical surfaces of an aircraft.

Begins at the start of the de-icing procedure. OR for a two step procedure, at the start of the anti-icing step

A

Vertical windshear: a change of horizontal wind direction and/or speed with height

Horizontal windshear; a change of horizontal wind direction and/or speed with horizontal distance

Q

Windshear conditions persist:

What will you do

A
  • Consider delaying the takeoff until conditions improve
  • select the most favorable runway, considering the location of the likely windshear/downburst condition
  • select minimum flaps config to maximize climb-gradient capability
  • use WX radar (or predictive windshear system) before TO to scan and ensure that the flight path is clear of hazards
  • select MAX TO thrust
  • closely monitor the airspeed (trend) during TO roll to detect any evidence of impending windshear
  • monitor wind on ND

Q

Recognize windshear

A
  • IAS +/- 15kts
  • V/S +/- 500 feet/minute
  • Pitch +/- 5 degrees
  • HDG +/- 10 degrees
  • G/S deviation +/- 1 dot
  • Goundspeed deviations on ND (decreasing HW, increase TW, shift from HW to TW)
  • unusual Autothrottle activity or thrust lever position

Q

2 systems 737 regarding windshear

A

1 - predictive windshear system > by WX radar > pro-active
- (on GND active <80kts, AB: active 400’-1200’ RA)

2 - windshear warning system > by GPWS system > re-active
- (on GND active <100kts, AB: 50’-1500’ RA)

Q

PILOT responses

Predictive windshear system/actual windshear warning

A

1 pilot response:

  • during TO (<100kts any WS alert) RTO
  • during climb: after flight path OR windshear escape manoeuvre
  • during APP: Go-around OR windshear escape manoeuvre

2 pilot response:
- fly windshear escape manoeuvre

Predictive windshear alert area
GND
- WARNING .5nm x 3nm straight
- caution within 25 DEG any side up to 3nm

FLIGHT

  • WARNING .5nm x 1.5nm straight
  • caution within 25 DEG any side up to 3nm

Q

Engine fire on GND checklist

A

Done for any fire on GND at the gate, during pushback, taxi or takeoff (also RTO)
- in case engine severe damage on GND: memory items

Q

During emergency, plan to land at nearest suitable aerodrome reasons:
ACTIONS:

A
  • non-normal CL directs a landing
  • fire or smoke continues
  • only one AC power source (Eng/apu)
  • only one hydraulic system(stby is considered a system)
  • any other situation that the flight crew believes had an adverse impact on safety

Q

Failure management

Flow

A

1 fly A/C > 2 Self Asses > 3 Asses > 4 Action > 5 Contain > 6 Manage

Contain

  • time critical, yes or no?
  • short term decision: continue, divert of return?
  • ATC: mayday or pan pan?
  • non-normal CL: must be performed when time is available and when automation is optimally in use
  • circuit breakers
  • normal CL
18
Q

TIME FORDEC

Execution

A

Time > Facts > Options > Risk/benefits > decision > execution > check

Execution: N-1 engine inoperative LDG checklist in execution fase

19
Q

Startle/surprise

A 
Startle = reaction on intense, sudden stimulus (cause to feel sudden shock or alarm.)
Surprise = expectation is NOT reality
20
Q

RESET yourself

A

Communicate > take a deep breath > check colleague

21
Q

Engine failure after V1 - working order (after memory items and short term plan)

A
  1. ‘Engine fire, severe damage or separation’
  2. After TO CL
  3. circuit breakers
  4. Manage T FORDEC, execute: one engine inop landing checklist QRH
22
Q

Engine flameout
Engine separation
Engine severe damage

A

EF: N1 rotation, ENG fail indication
ES: NO EGT and NO FF indications
ESD: NO N1 rotation, ENG FAIL indication

23
Q

3 decision making models

A
  1. Analytical decision making (buying a new house)
  2. Naturalistic decision making (last minute RWY change)
  3. Rule based decision making (ENG failure before V1)
24
Q

US ARMY MODEL

Leadership and teamwork

A

BE KNOW DO
BE: describes character a person’s inner strength
KNOW: Leaders must have a high kevel of knowledge to be competent
DO: Leader actions
