Q

ILS sensitive area is?

A

An area extending beyond the critical area where the parking and/or movement of vehicles, including aircraft, are controlled to prevent the possibility of unacceptable interference to the ILS signal during ILS operations.

Q

If loop A and B detect a fault within 5 seconds of one another, is a fire warning announced?

A

Yes

21
Q

If loop A and B detect a fault within a space of more than 5 seconds, is a fire warning announced?

A

No. An ECAM fault message appears

22
Q

How many fire extinguisher bottles are there on each engine and where are they located?

A

2 per engine

In each engine pylon

23
Q

The T3CAS box is comprised of what systems?

A

TCAS

TERRAIN

TRANSPONDER

24
Q

What does a red square on the ND mean?

A

TCAS RA

25
Q

What system detects reactive wind shear ?

A

The FAC

26
Q

What system detects PWS?

A

Weather radar

27
Q

If the ‘fail’ light is off on the transponder, is it working or not?

A

It is working. It comes on when the transponder fails

28
Q

At what height does ROW/OPS start functioning at?

A

400ft AGL

29
Q

Does PWS work if the weather radar is turned off?

A

Yes

30
Q

Below What height AGL does the PWS detect wind shear and microbursts?

A

Below 2300ft AGL

31
Q

Below what height AGL does the PWS provide warning, caution or advisory messages on the ND based on radar returns?

A

1200ft down to 50ft

32
Q

What are the predictive wind shear call-outs?

A

“Windshest Ahead, windshear Ahead”
Or
“Go around, windshear ahead”

33
Q

What are the reactive windshear callouts?

A

Windshear, windshear, windshear

34
Q

At what height AGL are FAC reactive windshear warnings available?

A

At T/O, 3s after liftoff, up to 1300ft RA

At LDG, from 1300ft RA to 50ft RA

35
Q

How many GPWS modes are there?

A

5 modes

36
Q

What is GPWS mode 1?

A

Excessive Rate of Descent

37
Q

What is GPWS mode 2?

A

Excessive terrain closure rate

38
Q

What does ABV mode on the TCAS mean?

A

The same as all, except that the other intruders are displayed if within 9,900ft above the aircraft and 2,700ft below

39
Q

What does BLW mode on the TCAS mean?

A

The same as ALL, except that the other intruders are displayed if within 9,900ft below the aircraft and 2,700ft above

40
Q

When would you hear TRAFFIC TRAFFIC

A

When you get an amber circle on the ND from TCAS

41
Q

From GPWS mode 2, with excessive closure towards terrain, what warning will you hear?

A

Terrain terrain

42
Q

Regarding RAs on the climb out, when will they be enabled? (Uninhibited)

On the descent, when will they be inhibited?

A

Above 1100ft

At and below 900ft

43
Q

What is the PREDICTIVE GPWS call-out?

A

Terrain ahead (ahead is added to the warning in the predictive event)

44
Q

How many approach attempts can you make?

A

A max of 2 approaches if there is no significant change to the weather

45
Q

For LVTOs, what 3 considerations are there?

A
  1. Captain must perform LVTO below 400m RVR
  2. For an LVTO below 400m RVR, the Take-off minima table should be used
  3. For an LVTO below 150m RVR, but not less than 125m;
    3A. Crew must be trained (part D)
    3B. High intensity runway centre
    line lights spaced 15m or less
    apart and high intensity edge
    lights spaces at 60m or less
    apart
    3C. A 90 m visual segment available
    from the FD at the start of TO
    3D. The required RVR value is
    achievable for all relevant RVR
    reporting points
46
Q

Do CAT 2 approaches require a lateral element for “visual”?

A

Yes

47
Q

Do CAT 3 approaches require a lateral element for “visual”?

A

No

48
Q

When deaccelerating on the runway, if the lights begin alternating red/white, what does this signify?

A

900 meters to go and the PM will call “900 meters to go”

49
Q

When deaccelerating on the runway, if the lights turn solid red, what does this signify?

A

300 meters to go and the PM will call “300 meters to go”. PF will call “check 900” or “check 300” relatively
