GENERAL INFORMATION Flashcards
For which reason should we reduce the 5% contingency fuel to 3% contingency fuel?
For in case we have a really long flight with a lot of trip fuel. Then the 5% could be much more then needed and then we reduce it to 3%.
How should we make a temperature corrections, before or after we added the 50 ft. (in case of NPA..)
You make the correction AFTER you added the 50ft. That way the 50 ft is also corrected.
Speed cursor setting. Which correction should we bleed off as the airplane approaches touchdown, the gust correction or the steady headwind correction?
The gust correction should be maintained to touchdown while the steady headwind correction should be bled off.
(OM B 2.9.10)
What is the wind additive on Vref on runway 36 with wind coming from 090 at 15 kts gusting 25 kts?
Vref +10 kts ( full crosswind and 10 kts gust, remember that the 5 kts that we add normally is a minimum additive!, so do NOT CALCULATE 5kts+10kts)
(OMB 2.9.10)
What is Cold Soaked Fuel Frost?
Cold Soaked Fuel Frost: A sub-zero fuel temperature on arrival from previous flight is likely to cause CSFF-ice, and always if fuel temp is below dew point.
(NAS 2.16.2))
What can we plan if birds are expected on final approach?
If birds are expected on final approach, plan additional landing distance to account for the possibility of no thrust reverser use if a bird strike occurs.
(NOR OM.B 3.23)
Which colour has type I de-icing fluid?
Orange. They are the thinnest of fluids and the shortest hold over times (HOT).
If there is a Turn Pad (place to turn the aircraft around) at the beginning of the runway, how do we know if that area is usable for take-off?
There is a solid white line on the Runway edge (maybe only on 1 side of the runway).
If it would not be usable the Runway edge would marked with double yellow lines.
(See pictures about Runway and Turn Pad Edge Markings in the norwegian album in your phone.)
What do we need to do if we have a malfunction during engine start and before takeoff?
- Do the Non-normal QRH checklist
- Check the MEL to determine dispatch relief is available.
(NOR OM.B 3.17) (09/22)
After pushback, we press the Master Caution and the Left Pack Light remains on, but extinguishes when Master Caution is cancelled. What to do? QRH or MEL?
Use the MEL and if we only have a operational procedure (o) AND not a maintenance procedure (m) we COULD self-release the aircraft after calling MOC.
When doing an autoland, we land a little left or right of the centre line. Is the landing still a satisfactory landing?
Yes. When the main gear land on the centreline it is satisfactory.
(Instructor Anders Krogstad)
How best to prepare for a scenario in the simulator (EBT)?
You probably will need to divert so know the airports around the route and the weather/notams of that airport.
What is GPS (or GNSS) SPOOFING and what causes it?
- Spoofing makes the aircraft believe it is somewhere it isn’t.
- lt happens when someone broadcast a signal on the same frequency as the GPS confusing the real signal with bad data.
Why is GNSS SPOOFING a bigger threat then GNSS jamming?
Jamming is often obvious to the crew, spoofing may be difficult to identify or even to differentiate from jamming.
What is GPS (GNSS) jamming and what causes it?
- We will loose GPS Signal.
- When a signal is broadcasted that overpowers the GPS signal and makes it unusable.
