Emergency Ops Useful Info Flashcards
Abnormal operation of slats/flaps
Control laws may change
Selected speed must be used
Approach attitudes change
Go around procedure may have to be modified
Approach and landing distance will increase.
If this happens during approach.
Pull speed
Delay approach to allow for completion of ECAM procedure.
Carry out QRH landing with slats/flaps jammed procedure.
Update approach briefing.
Auto pilot may be used to 500ft AGL
Consider tail strike
Go around speeds and configuration
Use of selected speed in a go around is a must.
Increased fuel consumption.
Overspeed red and black strip computed from actual flap/slat position. If not there use tabulated speeds.
Hydraulic systems unique systems
Green: Emer gen, NwS, L/G (separated by priority valve).
Flaps and slats
Normal brakes
Blue: Altn brake/park brake
Slats, BCM
Yellow: Flaps, BCM.
If you lose DC essential bus
Ac says cat III single but you are only permitted to do cat I approach.
This is due to LHS W/S heat being out of operation.
Fire push buttons must be used to shut down engines on the ground.
Speaker needs to be turned up on Pm side as RMP 1 is U/S
Some electrical failures can lead to the loss of the AP 2 pb light, LG lights, brake pressure indicator panel.
Make sure this is on on the FMA or in the respective status page.
Tripped CB on the ground
Can be reset with co-ordination of maintenance. NOT TO BE DONE with any Fuel pump CBs.
With landing gear stuck down fuel consumption is increased by a factor
of 2.8 ( roughly 3).
Emergency ELEC Approach considerations
Delay selection of land recovery until SLaT/Flap extension required.
A/THR not available
APPR mode not available as RAs both inop.
LOC mode is available.
AP1 and FD 1 become unavailable when land recovery pressed. (FPV is available).
Anti skid available when land recovery bus pressed as it repowers BSCU 1.
Consider higher intercept of GP to give more time to stabilise aircraft.
If both gens have been deliberately switched off by the crew (in case of smoke) consider turning them on for landing.
Smoke non required Memory actions
Masks if required: on/100% emergency
Vent extract: OvRD
Cabin Fans: Off
Galley: Off
Signs: on
Smoke procedure memory actions
Masks if required: on/100% emergency
Vent extract: OvRD
Cabin Fans: Off
Galley: Off
Signs: on
Decel light
Means auto brake is working to 80% at least of selected rate. Might not come on if on a contaminated runway with autobrake working properly due to effect of anti skid.
Level 1 caution
No aural warning… crew awareness.
Level 2 caution
Has aural warning
ECAM actions apply
(Awareness then action)
Level 3 warning
Aural warning. Immediate action required.
Do not press the IDG push button switch
Until GEN FAULT light comes on.
For more than 3 seconds as this could cause damage to the disconnect solenoid.
Engine out cat II and Cat III autoland approaches
Only approved with conf 3
