Q

With which failure CAN you open the cross bleed to use APU bleed air to safeguard pressurisation and human comfort?

A

Engine 2 fail
Or
Pack 2 fail

This is because the APU bleed air is fed into the engine 1 side of the cross bleed valve. If there is a fail with engine 1 or pack 1 debris will enter the system if the cross bleed is opened.

NB - only a consideration if there has been a fire or damage.

Q

Which failures go straight to the QRH?

NB - there is 8

A
  1. Dual hydraulic failure
    • ECAM if occur separately
  2. Smoke
    • Lav, cargo and avionics have ECAM
  3. Fumes/smell of any kind
  4. Emergency descent
    • called AFTER the initial actions
  5. Abnormal Valpha prot. OEB
  6. Unreliable airspeed
  7. Fuel imbalance
    • done as a QRH checklist
  8. Cabin over pressurisation

Q

What is the big picture stuff for a Dual FMGC failure and how would you deal with the Navaid/comms?

A

If AP won’t reset
= no RVSM so must descend.
= no auto land, need good weather

MANUAL FLYING

ATHR lost, so THR LOCK initially

Back up nav - select manual tuning on BOTH RMPs.

There is a QRH reset!

Q

What is the big picture stuff for a DC ESS BUS FAULT and how would you deal with the Navaid/comms?

A

No AP
= no RVSM so must descend.
= no auto land, need good weather

MANUAL FLYING

ATHR lost, so THR LOCK initially

Back up nav on RMP 1 only
- still have to select manual tuning on BOTH RMPs

Gravity gear extension

GPWS lost = threat!

Most comms systems lost

  • ACP 3 only
  • VHF 2 use
  • audio switching to FO for FO to talk
  • only FO’s loudspeaker available to listen on
  • use FO hand microphone

Q

What is the big picture stuff for operating an aircraft in ELEC EMERG CONFIG?

A

No AP
= no RVSM so must descend.
= no auto land, need good weather

MANUAL FLYING

ATHR lost, so THR LOCK initially

NWS and Antiskid inop, alternate braking only
= use differential braking for steering on gnd

Fuel pumps U/S, centre tank fuel unusable
= time critical

CM1 becomes PF, only his DUs available

No RA so PM makes all calls themselves

Q

If you have a problem with the outflow valve not opening what can you do?

A

Consider the lag time for the valve to open, look at cabin V/S as an indicator for the valve opening.

If it still is closed/ not working cycle the manual v/s pb off for 10 seconds and on to swap between the two systems.

Q

Loss of comms - what is the standard procedure?

A

Squawk 7600

Continue heading, level and speed for 7 mins then continue with flight plan.

Land at destination as close to ETA as possible.

Transit blind your actions in case

NB - must do whole STAR, eg for Lorel 4C must do BUSTA LOREL then downwind
