FCTM Flashcards
Within how many kts from V1 should a takeoff be continued if a tire fails without significant engine parameter fluctuations?
20Kts
Why is it better to continue a takeoff if a tire fails within 20kts from V1 than to abort?
It is better to get airborne, reduce the load and land with a full runway available.
How will the captain announce his decision to continue the take off after a malfunction?
By calling GO.
How will the captain announce his decision to reject the take off?
By calling STOP
What does calling STOP during the take off roll mean?
Confirms the decision to reject the takeoff and that the captain now has control.
What does announcing DECEL mean during the RTO and the landing?
Deceleration is felt by the crew AND confirmed by the Vc trend on the PFD.
When does the DECEL light come on on the auto take panel?
When the actual deceleration is 80% of the selected rate.
What is the initial pitch attitude for an EFATO?
12,5 degrees
What are the three strategies for dealing with an engine failure in the cruise?
- standard strategy
- obstacle strategy
- fixed speed strategy
Which strategy for an engine failure in cruise refers to ETOPS?
Fixed speed strategy
Which strategy is usually used in the event of an engine failure in cruise?
Standard strategy
Why is the A/THR disconnected when dealing with an engine failure in cruise?
To avoid any engine thrust reduction when selecting speed according to strategy or pulling OPEN DES.
What significant things will you miss during an RTO below 72kts?
Ground spoilers will not deploy and auto brake will not activate.
What is the procedure for an engine failure in cruise?
- set thrust levers to MCT
- disconnect the A/THR
- select speed according to strategy
- if appropriate select hdg
- select appropriate engine inop altitude in FCU window and pull OPEN DES
- request ECAM actions
With the ATHR disconnected, how is the target speed controlled in open descent?
By the elevator
What is the target speed with the standard strategy?
0.78/300 kts
What is the speed target in the obstacle strategy?
Green dot
What is the recommendation of thrust reverser use of one reverser is inoperative?
Select reverse thrust on both engines during RTO or landing
Which ECAM may be triggered when using both reverses with one inoperative?
ENG 1(2) REVERSER FAULT
What is the recommendation regarding reverse thrust if both reversers are inop?
Don’t select reverse thrust
What causes the emergency electrical configuration?
Loss of AC BUS 1 and 2
In the emergency electrical configuration, what happens below 125kts?
The RAT stalls
Emergency generation network transferred to the batteries
AC SHED ESS and DC SHED ESS BUS are shed
In the emergency electrical configuration, what happens below 100kts?
DC BAT BUS automatically connected
In the emergency electrical configuration, what happens below 50kts?
The AC ESS BUS is shed
