Park break set
Attention Crew stations, attention Crew stations
Confirm the failure
Fire ENG R
Natural to want to do the Eire right memory items HOWEVER
PULL OUT THE QRH AND GO TO THE SECOND AND LAST PAGE
FIRE ENG ON GROUND
(You do this checklist because it directs you to fire one bottle and if it doesn’t work you just do an evacuation because you’re on the ground. No need to wait 30 seconds)
Can you have fuel in the centre tank if the main tanks are not full?
Yes, up to 1360 kg
To limit the ZFW weight by the amount of fuel.
Do not turn on centre pumps unless fuel in centre shows
Also need to send a uneven distribution for the load sheet
DSP SEL panel not working?
What are your options?
Can operate: checklist, COMM, ENG, etc by selecting DSP SEL panel on, on L or R CDU.
Can also try the Center pedestal or L/R
DSPL CTRL source switch.
DSP SEL panel not working?
What are your options?
Can operate: checklist, COMM, ENG, etc by selecting DSP SEL panel on, on L or R CDU.
Can also try the Center pedestal or L/R
DSPL CTRL source switch.
Can wheelchair codes be different on NOTOC and on load sheet?
Yes.
Different codes for load sheet versus NOTOC
ATIS in Hong Kong says 90 min delay for your routing. What do you do if haven’t started boarding?
-Not a confirmed or verified delay.
-Talk with ISM, inform of potential delay.
- nothing written, but anything under 3 hours, get boarded and see how you go. Good chance you leave slightly late.
- consider AFTL’s
Harness and door section of the before start checklist and you see a door unlocked light, what do you do?
Unannunciated checklist: Lock Fail
Consider that there is an MEL for this as well.
Waypoints after limes, ILS 07L, 180 knots and 2000A.
What is a good aiming altitude to be at, especially with tailwind on base?
3200’
(Shaun Anderson Training Captain advise for a gate)
RNAV approach on the 26 right into CYVR in July 2024
Harden up the downwind altitude
If 4000A, make 4000.
Even so, when they clear you 3000, means base turn is coming. Clear all restrictions and get down
Configure early
If visual, maybe call visual
They have us base turn at 3000
Dep/Arr 6R, FAF 2000, so either request lower, or call visual and keep coming down.
Update VNAV speed and arm VNAV
Clean up legs
(Back up: if rushed, can always tell them you want full RNAV tracking exampke: Sedus via Goreg
If you get the OUTFLOW VALVE AFT checklist, what should you be concerned about?
MEL shows that both the
OFCR AND OFAR
(Overhead rest areas, not available)
Will this be true if get checklist mid flight?
AFTL’s affected for LRO and ULRO
Weather appears or ATC gives you delays, this equates to time, which means you should consider!?
Fuel
Dispatch for MEL is when?
MEL 0.1
Applicable up until the time the aircraft is moving on its own power(start of Taxi)
Subject to the commanders judgement and good airmanship
Include review of FCOM QRH AND MEL
Communication with IOC is also recommended
Does the MEL take into account multiple unserviceability?
No
Necessary for commander good judgement
If APU inop, what are considerations?
Engineer:
PCA
Ground power (how many?)
Supplementary procedure
Pneumatic cart for engine start
Informed destination of same requirements
ISM: if only one ground power, IFE will be off
Potentially hot cabin
What doesTEAM stand for with regards to a visual approach?
T equals track miles
E equals energy management
A = AIDS
M = Missed Approach.
If diversion is a consideration once you’ve reached destination, what are some key points?
Always good to divert early before others
Have your decision point and know how to execute
If you have a slow first officer or first officer who doesn’t seem to care what are some good ways to get them involved?
Reasonable professional requests
Can you get me an ATIS?
Can you program route 2
If you call IOC, you should have three options. What are they?
IOC
I = I want
O = options
C = Cathay wants
IOC alert message also send SMS to flying managers
If doing a regional Flight and FDPs come up what are the three types of flight duty periods you should consider?
Perhaps create options for
Split
Turn
Hotel layover 
Operating in the Singapore area if you divert or change FIR what is the first thing you should ask for?
QNH
As terrain may be an issue immediately and they might not give it to you
What are the key waypoint if you divert to Macau Shenzhen or Guanzhou?
Macau is papa
(So if 34 is in use and you’re holding at LIMES, an attempt at VHHH is same as VMMC) 
Shenzhen is LANDA (quite far)
ZGGG is BEKOL
If need to kill, call a specific person at the company from abroad, what is a good app?
TEAMS
Fact
When submitting an ASR , less is more
If doing an orbit on the spot spot, what is the best way to execute?
Track select and winded around 359°
If approaching the bay with no APU and you have to leave one engine running, should you do the after shut down Flo? iE should you turn off the beacon light?
No, leave the beacon light on if one engine running.
Do the normal flow once all engines are shut down
Can you go through minimum without a landing clearance?
Be practical about it, but the short answer is yes
Need the clearance before you land
What visuals do you need at Cat One minimums versus Cat two or three minimums?
Cat one : approach lights and one crossbar (so not necessarily threshold)
Cat 2 : runway environment
Approach minimum five lights
Whose area of responsibility is the Fuel Control Switch?
PF until stabilised after Engines Started
Then
PM until engines shut down at end of flight.
If you block on before a certain time in the morning into Hong Kong , the cabin crew get free taxi. What time?
Before 0530 local time
Out of Hong Kong, which is the fuel company which is guaranteed to be manual refuelling?
CNAF
(Fuel chit said PCN in the end, as there was no CNAF option for supplier)
Why would the Derated thrust and one on the upper EICAS be different than the FMC
when you are inputting the performance DATA steps?
The TAT PROBE is not asPirated before start, so it can show a higher temperature causing different N1.
Normal. Justify
Cancel speed (not high speed)
Unrestricted climb (alt only)
Descent: restrictions apply unless explicitly cancelled!
A wheelchair is loaded on board. The battery is disconnected and put in the overhead locker. Will it be on the cargo? NOTOC or a separate NOTOC?
Separate cabin NOTOC
saying where it is
(TCO should also give wattage)
FON2024-034
When will tug be assigned to aircraft in Hong Kong?
TSAT-10min
If not, contact IOC
Ready:
Doors closed, handling equipment removed (no requirement for tug)
No TSAT on board?
TCO can give TOBT (TRAFFIC OFFICER)
ATC can give TSAT
HYD AUTO CONTROL C
implications?
Quite serious.
Auto control of centre demand pumps fail
NO MEL: So no go item
(Centre hydraulics control a lot)
Return if taxi
HYD AUTO CONTROL L/R
Implications
Auto control of demand pumps fail.
MEL with many M items
(ANYTHING WITH HYDRAULICS on taxi
Out is worth a stop and look at MEL)
Theoretically, what should happen if
HYD OVERHEAT PRI R?
Run the checklist.
Demand may not enough for
(Reverse, auto brake, )
Plan for worse case scenario
(HYD PRESS R OPT)
HYD PRESS DEM C1 C2 L R
What would you expect chevkistbto guide you to do?
Turn demand on.
Still no work?
Turn demand off.
What items do you lose if you lose Center Hydraulics?
HYD Press Sys C
Primary flaps slats (plan 6 min)
Alternate gear extension (irreversible)
Main gear steering (tire scrub)
F20 landing manual speed brake
What is the gear limit speed?
and if using the alternate gear extension the speed may need to be reduced further to which speed to ensure that it locks down?
270 gear limit
240 knots may ensure it locks down
In case of alternate gear extension
NNC 13.9
HYD PRESS SYS L
Bad, good, implications?
Best hydraulic loss to get
Will lose the left thrust reverser
Be advised :
Still a no go MEL item
No Autoland
What is your immediate thought if you get a dual hydraulic failure?
Plan to land at the nearest suitable Airport
Crosswind limit 20 knots
If you see HYD press sys L+C+R,
What should the RAT do?
Automatically drop
1) both AC buses unpowered
2) all three hydraulic low
3) dual engine failure with centre hydraulic low
What are the inoperative items if you get hydraulic press L and R?
No auto brake (normal brakes only)
No thrust reverse
F20
No Autoland
Implications of dual hydraulic failure
HYD press sys R+C?
Worst one to get
Open the speed window do not exceed current airspeed
Plan to land at the nearest suitable airport
In operative items :
The stabiliser inop
Primary slat and flap fail (6 min)
Alternate gear extension (irreversible)
Right thrust reverse inop (idle rev)
Auto brake inop
Reserve hydraulic breaking only
(Normal and alternate brakes inop)
Stop on runway and require TOW
F20
Manual speed brake
Max crosswind 20 knots
HYD QTY LOW as bad as HYD PRESS SYS?
The quantity is low, which will probably lead to a PRESS SYS.
SO IF YOU HAVE A DUAL HYDRAULIC QUANTITY LOW , it’s an immediate plan land at the nearest suitable airport
What is the only HYD QTY LOW checklist that gets you to switch something off?
HYD QTY LOW C + R
Yes, you did turn off the C1 electric primary pump switch. Potentially saves the hydraulic fluid for just before landing.
Perhaps at cleared to land
ANTISKID EICAS
implications?
No go item with regards to MEL
NO AUTOBRAKE
Don’t brake until nose Wheel is on the ground
Do not pump the brakes
Make maximum use of Reverse
(FCTM 2.7)
Remember to add 15% to opt calc 
What if you get AUTOBRAKE EICAS on taxi out?
1 installed 0 required
Many maintenance actions
(Head back)
In air, no Biggy, use manual brakes
Should you be worried if you see tye EICAS
BRAKE SOURCE?
Yes.
Normal and alternate brake system low
reserve hydraulic source for alternate brakes low
If accumulator showing 1000psi, that’s no hydraulic, only gas.
Do not taxi
When will you get the brake temp EICAS?
One or more break temp is high
5.0 to 6.3 is caution
6.3 and above is melt
GEAR DISAGREE EICAS MEANS WHAT?
Your position disagrees with the landing gear lever position
To extend the landing gear using alternate extension
Remember there is a unannunciated checklist called
gearlever lockdown
Land on all available gear
FCTM has a whole chapter on this
8.30
Perhaps dump fuel
AIIPS
(Prep for emergency landing in evacuation procedures 
Flight deck management model
Flaps 30
No speed break unless needed
No reverser unless needed
GEAR DOOR EICAS means what?
One or more gear doors are not closed
Do not exceed 270
Probably dump fuel and come back
How many gear pins are there?
If you get MAIN GEAR BRACE L/R in air, is that bad?
Gear pins are associated with gear braces
Each main gear has two braces
The nose gear has one brace
Total of five gear pins
Yea bad. Prep for gear collapse.
Is main gear steering a bad EICAS to get?
Not severe. May get tire scrubbing.
On taxi out, the MEL HAS MAINTENANCE ITEMS. So contact ENG and go back.
RESERVE BRAKES / STRG
implications?
One or more possibly lost:
Alternate brakes from the Reserve hydraulic source
Normal nose gear extension
No wheel steering
Plan for possible alternate gear extension (lower early, if doesn’t work, do alternate)
Prep ATC THAT YOULL STOP ON RUNWAY AND NEED TOW
(Maybe able to turn off)
Tail SKID EICAS
implications?
Not as big a deal as tail strike
MEL one installed zero required
Maintenance actions
Tail skid is not in the commanded position It will cost you 1% flightplan fuel
OPt item
TIRE PRESS
Implications?
Airborne
If main gear tire is flat, do not use auto break
On ground
MEL one installed zero required
MAINTENANCE ACTIONS
(Call ENG, they did a tire press check)
Does airspeed low occur at a specific speed?
No.
5-15 knots approx below mms
When will you get the ALTITUDE ALERT
ON UPPER EICAS ?
FCOM 15.20.13
Departing altitude by 200 feet
There’s an MEL for this as well
altitude alerting is required for RVSM
(as long as one of the aural or visual component is working)
ALTITUDE CALL-OUTS on EICAS
Altitude and minimum callout are not available on approach
Use alternate means :
P.m. Or second officer.

CONFIG DOORS
EICAS happens when?
An entry
FWD CARGO
AFT CARGO
NOT CLOSED AND LATCHED DURING TAKEOFF
These are plugged doors, so pressurisation will be an issue.
CONFIG GEAR
happens when?
Gear not down and locked and :
Below 800 feet RA and thrust lever near idle
Or
Flaps in landing position
(Hence why we wait for the landing gear to be down before calling for landing flap)
CONFIG WARNING SYS
EICAS
serious?
No Go MEL item.
RA voice callouts and other aural alerts may not be available
There are two tail strike checklists:
one is unannunciated and one pops up automatically why?
When it pops up, it is because you hit the tail hard enough to rupture the canister
Pressurising can cause more damage.
Plan to land at the nearest suitable airport
(Dump fuel and return)
Unannunciated if you heard or felt bump but don’t get EICAS.
SUSPECTED? Return.
TCAS
EICAS
Implications?
TCAS is failed
MEL:
One installed zero required
Maintenance actions
Cannot leave Control airspace
(Do we have this on Routing?) 
TCAS RA CAPTAIN/FO
Implications?
TCAS Cannot show RA guidance on the PFD
Pilot flying must have
(MEL 2 INSTALL ONE REQUIRED) okay?
TCAS RA CAPTAIN/FO
Implications?
TCAS Cannot show RA guidance on the PFD
Pilot flying must have
(MEL 2 INSTALL ONE REQUIRED) okay?
Flying from Hong Kong to Japan, you are over Taiwan, the trainer asks you which altitude you will say in the case of a depress. What is you answer?
F180
Worst case scenario:
highest grid 15,500’
Plus 70 knot wind additive 2500’.
Is 18000’.
KISS
FACTS
D-EDG
-Includes wind up to 50 kn
-Temperature correction not required
-altitude is reference to regional QNH
-20nm either side of direct track to airport
Grid MRA and OFP MRA
- doesn’t include wind
- 10 nm either side of track
- provides max 2000’ terrain clearance
- biggest wind additive is 2500’
Are the airports shown using the
D-EDG checked for suitability by LIDO?
8.1.1.2.4
No.
Check “suitable” yourself.
If only one diversion option is available, need to check “adequate”
Is there a back up to the DEDG if it doesn’t load in the en route section of the EFF?
Yes.
See printout or docs in EFF.
Also should be available in FOP back up portal
Last case paper EDG 
is Crew oxygen ever an issue on the triple seven ER??
No.
Minimum Dispatch pressure from Hong Kong to Europe is 1200 psi
(Equates to 3800 L)
Even with four crew stuck up at Flight level 250 you have approximately three hours of oxygen @ 100% oxygen.
(3 hours before worry)
Where can you find the Crew oxygen requirements which equates to length of time at altitude?
FCOM
PERFORMANCE DISPATCH
CREW OXYGEN REQUIREMENTS 
Lowest oxygen crew Dispatch requirement is 900 PSI.
How many hours of oxygen for four crewmembers? Does this allow at 14,000 feet and at 25,000 feet?
FCOM performance Dispatch
Flight level 140 : 4 hours
Fly level 250: 2 hour 15 min
If you have a dual hydraulic pressure failure
HYD PRESS C + R,
Should you also complete the
HYD QTY LOW C+R checklist?
Yes.
It’ll direct you to turn off the C1 air demand pump, potentially saving the standpipe fluid for your reserve brakes.
