Q

descent on M.80 what level would you be at in 15Nm descending from FL380?

A

M.80 you do 8Nm a min so it will take 2 mins at whatever rate you have.

Q

descent 300Kts, passing FL240 what level would you be in 15Nm at 2000ft/min VSI?

A

300NM=60mins, 5Nm/min so it will take 3mins. 3*2000ft/min= 6000ft
FL240-6000=FL180

Q

When do you callout SPEED?

A

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

Q

Stable criteria?

A

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

16
Q

What is the maximum speed we can accept on final?

A

180Kts to 6Nm final

GD, F20 no later than lower of either GS capture or platform altitude

17
Q

When do we use thrust reverser?

A

normal reverse is standard

reverse thrust is most effective at high speed

18
Q

When is idle reverse prohibited? (6)

A

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

19
Q

When do you use autobrake 1,2,4,MAX?

A

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

20
Q

When do you use autobrake 3? (8)

A
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
21
Q

Narrow or long RWY, altitude and flare?

A

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

22
Q

Wide or short RWY, altitude and flare?

A

creates the impression of being too low, flare early/ flare HIGH

23
Q

FOG creates what impression?

A

FOG creates an impression of being too HIGH

24
Q

RWY Upslope, altitude, flare?

A

impression of being TOO HIGH, flare late

25
Q

RWY Downslope, altitude, flare?

A

impression of being TOO LOW, flare early

26
Q

When can you descent on a circling approach?

A

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

27
Q

what is CA responsible when performing a circling?

A

CA is responsible for terrain clearance once the aircraft has left circling minima

28
Q

define PANS OPS and TERPS minima for CAT C aircraft?

A

PANS OPS 4.2Nm

TERPS 1.7Nm

29
Q

What are the circling minima for EU OPS and OPS SPEC?

A

EU OPS: 1000ft MDH/2400m Vz
OPS SPECS: 1000ft MDH/2SM (3200m)
MDH is airport+1000ft

30
Q

What is GOOD braking action?

A

.40 or higher

wet, frost, less than 3mm water

31
Q

what is GOOD to MEDIUM?

A

.39 to .35

compacted snow

32
Q

what is MEDIUM?

A

.34 to .30

wet (slippery), dry or wet snow, compacted snow

33
Q

what is MEDIUM to POOR?

A

.29 to .25
more than 3mm water or slush, dry or wet snow
compacted snow

34
Q

What is POOR?

A

.24 to .21

ICE

35
Q

what is NIL braking action?

A
