General Flashcards
RTOW and RLDW are derived from which program?
Aircraft Performance Group (APG) which complies with CASA requirements
Take off weights are determined using a ‘straight out flight path’ (unless there is a specific runway SDP) What does straight out flight path mean?
Extended runway centreline up to 20NM from departure end of runway at which point a holding pattern (LH turn and 5NM leg) is entered while climbing to LSALT
Do you consider the rolling take off penalty before or after correcting for temperature and wind
Subtract from zero wind figure after correcting for temperature and wind
What is the Checklist priority
Emergency
Normal
Abnormal
When should checklists not be actioned
Prior to establishment on outbound track and wings level
Whilst rolling on the runway after landing
Taxiing in low vis or close to other aircraft
Change in Altitude SOP eg Cleared to FL170
PNF sets Altitude ‘FL170 set and armed’
PF ‘FL170 checked’
Alert to selected level (eg FL170)
PM ‘One thousand to Altitude’
PF ‘ALERT for FL 170’
Altitude capture (eg FL170)
PNF ‘At Altitude’
PF ‘FL 170 confirmed’
Altitude deviation
PNF ‘check Altitude, we are climbing/descending’
PF ‘correcting’
Engaging the autopilot
Initial engagement PF 'Engage the autopilot' PNF engages AP 'autopilot engaged' PF announce active modes 'hdg, ias, alt armed' PNF 'checked'
If engaged PF selects and announced mode changes
PF ‘hdg’
PNF ‘checked’
Setting navigation frequencies
PF calls nav aids to be selected. PNF tunes and identifies the nav aids
PF ‘Nav 1 to 24 ILS, nav 2 to Perth VOR’
PNF ‘Nav 1 identified, 24 ILS no flags, Nav 2 identified’
In flight FMS way point entry
Lat long entry
All FMS entries verified by 2 crew
In flight entry made by PNF and verified by PF
PNF ‘Direct GURAK, confirm’
PF ‘confirmed’
For a lat long, PF reads coordinates, PNF enters then reads them back for PF to confirm
Pre departure, the captain must make sure crew briefed on…
Manifest Flight plan Fuel plan Relevant contingency plan Load sheet Weather forecast NOTAMS MEL
Briefing to flight attendant
Flight time
Weather enroute and terminal Inc turbulence
MEL applicable to cabin
Anything else applicable to flight attendant
Captain to advice via PA when flight attendant should be seated due to turbulence. This alerts pax too
Releasing flight attendant from seat after take off
Captain cycles seat belt sign to give 2 chimes
Aircraft must be established on departure track
Body angle at or below 10 degrees
No turbulence anticipated
Above 1000ft AGL
Seat belts and advising to prepare for landing
Captain to switch seatbelts on passing FL150 or approaching TOD if below FL150
At the same time advise over PA ‘Cabin crew prepare the cabin for landing’
Crossing runway on ground
LH seat ‘clear left and centre’
RH seat ‘Clear right and TCAS’
Approach position Broadcast and contact to CTAF
When instructed to change to low level by ATC or prior to passing FL180 on descent or 2 min to TOD OCTA make a position Broadcast on area frequency
Monitor CTAF by 50NM and broadcast to CTAF by 30NM with position and intention
VHF or Sat phone contact to company
Made by PNF
ETA notification on departure
ETA notification on arrival (Inc AC serviceability, pax requirements etc)
Inbound to apron
Stabilised approach criteria
On correct flight path Aircraft in approach/landing config Required checklists complete Briefings complete Speed as per SOP Vapp +10 - 5 Sink not above 1000fpm
