DESCENT/LANDING Flashcards
What are the maximum holding speed ICAO?
below 140000ft : 230Kts
14000ft to FL200: 240Kts
FL200 to FL340 : 265Kts
above FL340 : M.83
What are the maximum holding speed FAA?
through 6000ft : 200Kts
6000ft to 14000ft: 230Kts
above 14000 : 265Kts
How long is the standard holding leg?
≤14000ft: 1min
above 14000ft: 1,5min
What range do you use to display the correct size?
hold in LNAV range 80Nm and below display correct size
What minimum speed do you use for hoding to provide adequate buffet margin?
below FL250 use Vref+80
above FL250 use Vref+100
descent on M.80 what level would you be at in 15Nm descending from FL380?
M.80 you do 8Nm a min so it will take 2 mins at whatever rate you have.
descent 300Kts, passing FL240 what level would you be in 15Nm at 2000ft/min VSI?
300NM=60mins, 5Nm/min so it will take 3mins. 3*2000ft/min= 6000ft
FL240-6000=FL180
When do you callout SPEED?
whenever IAS is less than Vref or
greater than Vapp+15Kts or
speed trend shows a significant tendency to exceed either of these parameters and thrust position is inapropriate for phase of flight
When do you callout PITCH?
any appropriate pitch or
7.5° on touchdown
When do you callout BANK ANGLE?
over 30° bank
When do you callout LOCALIZER? GLIDESLOPE?
1 dot
When do you callout SINK RATE?
VSI less than 300fpm or
greater than 1200fpm in the last 1000ft AGL
When do you callout ALTITUDE?
any altitude deviation
Stable criteria?
at 1000ft RA:
planned landing config GD, Landing flaps achived
correct vertical profile: GS, PAPI/VASI,NPA
target APP speed: except if speed close to target and reducing
what are the calls at 1000ft RA?
STABLE
SPEED, STABLE must be called before 500ft RA
UNSTABLE GA
What is the maximum speed we can accept on final?
180Kts to 6Nm final
GD, F20 no later than lower of either GS capture or platform altitude
When do we use thrust reverser?
normal reverse is standard
reverse thrust is most effective at high speed
When is idle reverse prohibited? (6)
LDA less than 2000m
snow,slush,ice or standing water
tailwind component
Vref has been increased due to strong Xwind
known unserviceability of retardation device
landing is made in abnormal configuration
When do you use autobrake 1,2,4,MAX?
1 and 2 is routine. VI/VN carbon brakes 2 recommended increase carbon brake life
4 short RWY <2000m
MAX near max capability, less than full manual
When do you use autobrake 3? (8)
idle reverse is anticipated WET RWY recommended when Vz<1000m degraded braking action minimum RWY occupancy is required Xwind in excess of 20Kts Twind anticipated on landing autoland is planned
Narrow or long RWY, altitude and flare?
narrow or lang RWY, pilots should be aware that altitude may be lower than it appears
tendency to flare late due to optical illusion of being higher than pilots actually are, flare LOW
Wide or short RWY, altitude and flare?
creates the impression of being too low, flare early/ flare HIGH
FOG creates what impression?
FOG creates an impression of being too HIGH
RWY Upslope, altitude, flare?
impression of being TOO HIGH, flare late
RWY Downslope, altitude, flare?
impression of being TOO LOW, flare early
When can you descent on a circling approach?
Final descent from a circling minima should only be made when the aircraft intercept the normal approach path and the required visual reference can be maintained.
EU OPS: landing Threshold in sight and kept
what is CA responsible when performing a circling?
CA is responsible for terrain clearance once the aircraft has left circling minima
define PANS OPS and TERPS minima for CAT C aircraft?
PANS OPS 4.2Nm
TERPS 1.7Nm
What are the circling minima for EU OPS and OPS SPEC?
EU OPS: 1000ft MDH/2400m Vz
OPS SPECS: 1000ft MDH/2SM (3200m)
MDH is airport+1000ft
What is GOOD braking action?
.40 or higher
wet, frost, less than 3mm water
what is GOOD to MEDIUM?
.39 to .35
compacted snow
what is MEDIUM?
.34 to .30
wet (slippery), dry or wet snow, compacted snow
what is MEDIUM to POOR?
.29 to .25
more than 3mm water or slush, dry or wet snow
compacted snow
What is POOR?
.24 to .21
ICE
what is NIL braking action?
.20 and LOWER
ICE
