Failures Flashcards
1
Q
RA 1 + 2 FAULT
A
- CAT 1 minima
- ATC PAN call.
- Landing distance procedure apply
- FLAP 3, Vapp+10kts.
- No GPWS, terrain awereness.
- No low energy call outs.
- Only LOC mode available, use selected mode for glide.
- From normal to direct law with gear down, A/P will disconnect so FD’s off. Brief to confirm and clear ECAM.
- Direct law landing and go-around.
- Will revert to normal law on gear retraction.
- Configer flap 1, 2 and 3, then gear. Emergency cancel L/G not down ECAM.
- Stabilized approach.
2
Q
LGCIU 1 + 2 FAULT
A
- No positive confirmation of gear being dowlocked
- QRH gravity gear extension
- No gear retraction of G/A. Seek landing clearance before
- Potentiale QRH abnormal gear
- Fuel penalty applies???
3
Q
FUEL leak
A
- LAND ASAP
- QRH fuel leak
- Engine will be shut down.
- Identify how much fuel you actually have available.
- Time constraint.
- Be careful opening the cross feed. Wait 5 to 10 minutes.
- Don’t put too much heat on the brakes if possible.
- Arrange fire department inspection on runway.
- Brief no reverse reminder/trigger at 500ft stable
4
Q
F/CTL SLATS/FLAPS LOCKED
A
- SELECT speed
- disctoniue the approach, think MSA before ECAM.
- Landing distance increase, consider need for diversion.
- Fuel penalty applies.
- QRH SLATS/FLAPS JAM.
- Selected speed approach and go-around.
- CAT 1 due not using A/P blow 500’. ECAM will not tell.
- Calculate Vapp and cross check with box.
- Different visual picture.
- Slats do not move any further when moving lever from flap 2 to flap 3.
- Don’t change configuration on the go around.
5
Q
WINDSHEAR reported on ATIS
A
- Captain is PF
- ## Brief the predictive (windshear ahead) and reactive windshear (windshear x3)Reactive is available in flap 1, avail for landing from 1300’-50RA, T/O 3s after lift off to 1300’.
- Predictive windshear depends on type of weather radar. Available below 1800’ / 2300’ RA, 5nm ahead.
- What are the threats of an escape maneuver? Changing configuration, Over speeding flaps, busting go-around altitude (request modified GA), forgetting
to raise the gear. - PM to monitor speed and v/s.
- When does the autopilot disengage? When the angle of attack value goes above Alpha prot.
- Consider delaying the approach? How long does a microburst typically last? 15 minutes
- Consider your alternates and fuel state? Can we commit to the airport?
6
Q
A380 crossing traffic too close
A
- ‘Cabin crew be seated immediately’ + Seat belt signs on
- Selected speed M. 76.
- Request diverting manoeuvre if able.
- Call CM to assess casualities.
- Divert if required.
- PA to calm down pax.
7
Q
FCU 1 + 2 FAULT
A
- Loss of A/P, A/THRST and FD’s.
- Use ND rose mode, same range as colleague.
- Weather radar should be disregarded.
- PAN CALL.
- level off and determine altitude difference compared to the ISIS. (or simply fly based on the ISIS altimeter)
- Write clearances on MCDU scratch pad!
- QNH only on sby altimeter, do not set MDA in box.
- Standard callouts based on sby altimeter.
8
Q
ENG EIU FAULT
A
- Loss of A/THRUST, Thrust lock every 5 seconds
- WARNING: A SUBSEQUENT ENGINE FAILURE WILL NOT BE DETECTED!
- Loss of reverser
- ENG start lost
- Approach idle only
- CAT 2 ONLY
- if engine anti-ice is required the igniters must be selected manually.
9
Q
FUEL FQI FAULT
A
- Reset in QRH
- FMGC fuel prediction page change FOB/FF+FQ to FF. This will give you the ‘extra fuel/time’.
10
Q
AIR PACK 1 + 2 FAULT
A
- Rapid decent to FL100 or MEA if higher
- If a pack fault light extinguished attempt to reinstate pack.
11
Q
ELEC AC BUS 1 FAULT
A
- Loss of A/P and A/THRUST.
- Loss of screens CM1 and Upper ECAM, handover controls.
- Regain screens and automatics on AC ESS Feed selection.
- N/W STEER FAULT, think crosswind.
- SLATS SLOW, think extra track miles.
- Wx radar inop, avoid CBs in IMC.
- GPWS inop, think terrain awareness.
- CAT 2 ONLY.
- LAV DET inop? Cc need to periodically check for signs of smoke/fire.
12
Q
ELEC IDG 1(2) OVHT
A
- Switch off, guarded switch, permanently disconnected (irreversible)
- Start APU.
- CAT 3 SINGLE
13
Q
DECOMPRESSION
A
- Masks on, establish comms, emergency decent
- Second loop: refine selections (think MSA, enroute alternates)
- ECAM or QRH
- what about TCAS RA?
- STALL??
14
Q
TCAS RA
A
Without AP TCAS:
- TCAS TA = TRAFFIC TRAFFIC: ‘TCAS I have control’.
- TCAS RA= A/P off, FD’s off, follow the green.
- PM Radio call: EZY12AB TCAS RA.
- CLEAR OF CONFLICT = select automatics and basic modes, fly back to assigned level.
- respect stall and GPWS warning
With AP TCAS:
- ‘TCAS blue, I have control’
-
15
Q
ENG vibrations
A
- QRH ADVISORY
- QRH ENGINE VIBRATION CHECKLIST
- Consider reducing thrust after identifying the correct engine and thrust lever.
