General Flashcards

1
Q

Is reverse thrust included in take off performance calculations?

A
  • Reverse thrust is not included in accelerate/stop distance calculations for a dry runway. (Therefore there is no weight penalty for inoperative thrust reversers on a dry runway)
  • Fir wet or contaminated runways use of symmetric reverse is assumed.

Q

What is enroute climb speed?

A

Enroute climb speed is automatically computed by the FMC. When VNAV is engaged below the transition alititude the FMC targets the transistor speed limit or flaps up manoeuvre speed +20kts whichever is higher.

Q

What is max angle climb?

A

The FMC provides maximum angle speeds. Maximum angle climb speed is usually used for obstacle clearance, minimum crossing altitude or to reach a specified altitude in a minimum distance. It varies with gross weight.

The FMC indicated speed should only be used at lost altitudes below FL200.

Q

What is maximum rate climb?

A

Maximum rate climb provides both high climb rates and minimum time to cruise altitude.

Max rate of climb is as follows:
747-400: flaps up manoeuvre speed +60kts until intercepting 0.82M.
747-8: VREF 30 + 120kts until intercepting 0.83M

Q

Repeat defect deferral for DDG?

A

In the event of a defect recurring within the first 2 flights after clearing an ADD for the same defect. The fault shall be rectified or, if deferring under the same MEL reference, the defect shall be back dated to the start of the original ADD.

17
Q

What is the extension rectification interval category for the DDG?

A

Only category items B C D may be extended under this method. The extension is conducted by engineering and the HK CAD must be notified.

18
Q

Can a aircraft depart with a deferred defect expiry prior to landing?

A

An aircraft may be dispatched for flight, landing after the expiry period of the original or extended time period, provided the aircraft has been dispatched during the period of validity.

19
Q

When can the MEL be used?

A

The MEL is applicable up until the time that the aircraft is moving under its own power for the purpose of preparing for take off.

20
Q

What are the checks required once the final load sheet is received?

A

Verify the final load sheet TOW is within 500kg of the PRELIM load sheet.

Verify the load sheet TOW is within the ACARS RTOW weight band.

Verify or re-enter the CG. (MACTOW) into takeoff page.

Send load sheet acknowledge.

21
Q

What are the flight crew required to check on the ACARS Loadsheet?

A
  • aircraft registration
  • number of crew
  • basic weight
  • basic index
  • takeoff fuel
  • trip fuel
    Check the following items are within limits.
  • zero fuel weight
  • takeoff weight
  • landing weight
  • stabiliser trim
22
Q

Windshear warning prior to V1/ after V1?

‘Windshear ahead windshear ahead’

A

Prior to V1 reject takeoff

After V1, perform wind shear escape maneuver

23
Q

Definition of unacceptable flight path deviations below 1000ft AGL?

A
  • 15kts indicated airspeed
  • 500fpm vertical speed
  • 5 degrees pitch attitude
  • 1 dot displacement from the glide slope
  • unusual thrust lever position for a significant period of time.
24
Q

Windshear escape maneuver

Manual flight

A
  • Disengage autopilot
  • Push either TO/GA switch
  • Aggressively apply maximum thrust.
  • Disconnect autothrottle
  • Simultaneously roll wings level and rotate towards an initial pitch attitude of 15 degrees.
  • Retract speed brakes
  • Follow flight director TO/GA guidance (if available)

Manual or Automatic flight

  • Do not change gear or flap configuration until windshear is no longer a factor
  • monitor vertical speed and altitude
  • do not attempt to regain lost airspeed until windshear is no longer a factor.
25
Q

Windshear Escape Maneuver

Automatic flight

A
  • Press either TO/GA switch
  • Verify TO/GA mode annunciation
  • Verify GA thrust
  • Retract speedbrakes
  • Monitor system performance

Manual or Automatic flight

  • Do not change gear or flap configuration until windshear is no longer a factor
  • monitor vertical speed and altitude
  • do not attempt to regain lost airspeed until windshear is no longer a factor.
26
Q

Reasons for a RTO before 80kts?

A
  • activation of a master caution system
  • system failure
  • unusual noise or vibration
  • tire failure
  • abnormally slow acceleration

A

Fire or fire warning
Engine failure
Predictive windshear warning
If the aircraft is unsafe or unable to fly

28

  • Do not change gear or flap configuration except: during liftoff, if flaps are up, call for flaps 1
  • Check airspeed and adjust thrust as needed
  • Establish pitch attitude
  • Return to the desired flight path
  • Re engage the auto pilot and autothrottle if desired.
29
Q 
What are the CAD approved visual references for CX aircraft for the following:
CAT II
CAT III A
CAT III B
CAT III C
A

CAT II- runway and threshold environment.
CAT III A- Three centreline lights
CAT III B- One centreline light
CAT III C- No visual reference required.

30
Q

Oxygen requirements?

A

Members of the flight deck crew shall have sufficient oxygen for the duration the cabin altitude exceeds 10,000ft with a minimum of 2 hours.

Status page check in preflight crew/supernumerary.
747-400= 1600/1700psi
747-8= 1400/1400psi

31
Q

Definition of and how to use CORR LNDG figures?

A

The CORR LNDG figure should be used whenever the TOTAL FUEL figure is adjusted as it contains a fuel allowance to carry the extra fuel.

32
Q

Definition and use of CORR RAMP?

A

If the trip fuel is adjusted using fuel that is already on board, as REC EXTRA or CONT FUEL, the CORR RAMP figure should be used as the allowance for carrying this fuel is already included as part of the trip fuel.

33
Q

Information regarding simplified RTOW charts:

A

Should only be used as a backup.

Data is conservative to cover as many ports as possible may not be useable for heavier weights and/or shorter runways.

34
Q

Calculation for CAT B fuel?

A 
CAT B FUEL
= Taxi sector 1
\+ trip sector 1
\+ CONT sector 1
\+ TOTAL FUEL sector 2
35
Q

Engine run up for ERF?

A

50% N1 for 1 sec every 30minutes

36
Q

Engine run up for -8?

A

40% N1 for 5 seconds every 60 min

37
Q

Holding speeds for HK?

A

0-14,000ft= 230kts
14,000ft-20,000ft= 240kts
