Q

Explain ‘WET START’, and what happens when we do nothing?

A
  • A wet start occurs if the EGT does not increase by 15 seconds after the start lever is moved to idle.
  • If a wet start is detected, the EEC turns off the ignition and shuts off fuel to the engine 15 seconds after the start lever is moved to idle. (FCOM 7.20.11)

(NOR OM.B 3.22)

47
Q

What is the difference between a STD” and “NON-STD” Emergency Failure Procedure?

A

-​​ ​​“STD”:​ Is used for​ all​ procedures where a straight​ climb to 1500ft​ above runway end ​threshold can be obtained before turning to the engine failure holding pattern.​

  • “NON-STD”:​ Is​ used for​ all​ procedures​ with an initial​ turn before or​ after 1500ft​ above ​runway end threshold.

(NOR OM.B 4.8.1.6 p 39) (08/2022)

48
Q

Explain ABNORMAL emergency situation.

A

A situation that is not normal but a safe outcome is anticipated.
(NOR OM B 3.0.2)

A

No
(NOR OM B 3.2.1 p.10)

50
Q

How do the PF and PM need to respond when reading the deferred Items in a QRH Checklist?

A

The PF or​ the PM responds to the deferred normal checklist items​ ​based on each crewmember’s area of​ responsibility.​ However, during the deferred​ ​Landing normal checklist, the pilot flying responds​ to all deferred normal​ ​checklist items.​
(NOR OM B 3.2.2)

51
Q

Does the senior cabin crew always need to give us 3 chimes to notify us about ‘NITS COMPLETED’?

A

NO, if it’s agreed with the captain that the senior also will do the CMDR announcement then she will not to need to give us 3 chines.
(NOR OM B 3.3.4)

52
Q

What is the difference between an engine severe damage and engine surge or stall?

A

With an surge and stall the vibration indication is normal. With a severe damage you have high vibrations. So an EGT indication in RED does not mean a severe damage IF the vibration is normal but if it stays in red it might become a severe damage.
(Info from instructor Geir Normann)

53
Q

Which are the 4 basic kinds of engine malfunctions?

A
  1. Flame out.
  2. Fire
  3. Limit, surge or Stall
  4. Severe damage.
    (The difference between surge or stall AND severe damage is the vibration, not high EGT)
54
Q

You perform a go-around with a single engine. After the call ‘flaps up no lights, do you need to put in again max continuous thrust? Even after level off at the go-around altitude and no further climb expected?

A

Yes! You always need to do this, otherwise the system logic will not give you ‘something’ (l forgot what, just do it…)
(Instructor Emilio)

55
Q

When to put the oxygen regulator to EMERGENCY, when to 100% and when to normal?

A

The EMERGENCY position​ of the​ oxygen​ regulator is used when​ needed​ ​to​ supply positive pressure in the masks​ and​ goggles to remove​ ​contaminants.​ The 100% position of​ the oxygen regulator is used​ when​ ​positive pressure is not​ needed​ but contamination of the​ flight deck air​ ​exists. The​ Normal position​ of​ the​ oxygen regulator is used if​ prolonged​ ​use​ is needed and​ the​ situation allows.

(OM B page chapter 3, p 10)

56
Q

What is the most important we need to do when we have failure?

A

Ask (according to the procedure) “IDENTIFY THE PROBLEM” and then you can handle the complete situation
