Q

Why is it better to continue a takeoff if a tire fails within 20kts from V1 than to abort?

A

It is better to get airborne, reduce the load and land with a full runway available.

Q

What is the procedure for an engine failure in cruise?

A
  • 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

Q

What is the recommendation regarding reverse thrust if both reversers are inop?

A

Don’t select reverse thrust

21
Q

What causes the emergency electrical configuration?

A

Loss of AC BUS 1 and 2

22
Q

In the emergency electrical configuration, what happens below 125kts?

A

The RAT stalls
Emergency generation network transferred to the batteries
AC SHED ESS and DC SHED ESS BUS are shed

23
Q

In the emergency electrical configuration, what happens below 100kts?

A

DC BAT BUS automatically connected

24
Q

In the emergency electrical configuration, what happens below 50kts?

A

The AC ESS BUS is shed

25
Q

What is the minimum approach speed for the emergency electrical configuration?

A

140kts

26
Q

What situations might cause abnormal operation of the flaps and/or slats?

A
  • double SFCC failure
  • double hydraulic failure
  • flaps/ slats jammed (operation of wtb)
27
Q

According to what is the OVERSPEED warning computed?

A

The ACTUAL slats/ flaps position

28
Q

Down to what altitude may the autopilot be used with a slats/ flaps problem?

A

500ft AGL

29
Q

What are some of the points which should be briefed following a problem with flaps/ slats?

A
  • tail strike awareness
  • go around configuration
  • deviation from standard call outs
  • speeds to be flown, following a missed approach
  • selected speed used at the acceleration altitude
  • increased fuel consumption
  • different/ unusual attitudes
30
Q

When diverting with a slats/ flaps problem, what is the max altitude?

A

20000 feet

31
Q

When should fuel checks be carried out?

A

When sequencing a waypoint and every 30 minutes

32
Q

What kind of approach is preferred with a dual hydraulic fault?

A

Stabilized approach

33
Q

What are some of the briefing items for a dual hydraulic failure?

A
  • use of selected speeds
  • landing gear gravity extension (QRH)
  • approach config and flap lever position
  • approach speed Vapp
  • TAILSTRIKE awareness
  • braking and steering considerations
  • go around call, aircraft config and speed
34
Q

With which dual hydraulic failure will you remain in normal law?

A

B+Y

35
Q

What indication is sufficient to indicate that the landing gear is down and locked?

A

At least one green triangle on each gear

36
Q

What ECAM memo is sufficient to confirm that the landing gear is DOWNLOCKED?

A

LDG GEAR DN

37
Q

Which procedure must be performed if at least one landing gear is not DOWNLOCKED?

A

QRH LANDING WITH ABNORMAL L/G

38
Q

What should be done to the ground spoilers if one or more main landing gears are in abnormal position?

A

Not to be armed

39
Q

Why should the ground spoilers not be armed if at least one main gear is in abnormal position?

A

To keep as much roll authority as possible.

40
Q

What should be done to the autobrake when landing with abnormal gear?

A

Not armed.

41
Q

How long will hydraulic power be approximately available after shutdown of the related engine?

A

30 seconds

42
Q

When should the engine masters be switched off with an abnormal nose landing gear?

A

Before nose impact

43
Q

When should the engine masters be switched off when landing with one abnormal main gear?

A

At touchdown

44
Q

When should the engine masters be switched off when landing with both main landing gear abnormal?

A

In the flare, before touchdown.

45
Q

What happens with a dual NAV ADR or NAV IRS fault?

A

Autopilot and auto thrust lost and flight controls revert to ALTN law

46
Q

What kind of approach should be flown with an overweight landing?

A

Stabilized approach

47
Q

What is the preferred landing config for an overweight landing?

A

Config full
