Reconfiguration Laws

According to the FCTM, what should the flight crew consider when flying in reconfiguration laws at high altitudes and speeds?

UAE A380 FCTM AOP-10-30-20

A

Descend to a lower altitude to increase the buffet margin (Approx 4000’ below REC MAX)

Manoeuvre with care and use small control inputs*.

*Some fails result in ALT2 so roll and yaw are almost in direct control.

Reconfiguration Laws

According to the FCTM, what should the flight crew consider when flying in DIRECT law?

UAE A380 FCTM AOP-10-30-20

A

Avoid large thrust changes or sudden speedbrake movements, particularly with aft CG.
If the a/c was retrimmed with the speedbrakes out. PF must gently retract the speed brakes for ample retrimming to avoid a large nose-down trim change.

Procedure Design

What are the PRO-NOR-SUPP use principles?

UAE A380 FCTM AOP-10-40

A

Crew must perform SUPP SOP using the READ & DO principle. If the SUPP Procedure is regarding engine start then it should be read fully before application; it is read by PM then actioned by PF. Other procedures can be actioned by either pilot depending on context.

Q

Management of Abnormal Ops

In the case the procedure is available in both ABNORMAL PROC menu of the ECP and in the QRH (e.g. SMOKE/FUMES) which is the preferable procedure to follow? And why? And When should the crew apply the procedure using the other reference?

UAE A380 FCTM AOP-30-30-1

A

Crew should preferably select and apply the Abnormal Not-Sensed Procedure in order to update the EWD/PFD limitations and STATUS page in accordance with the current technical status.
The crew should apply the QRH if conditions are not adequate to perfrom ECAM (smoke) and if more convenient in time critical situations (EMER EVAC)

UAE A380 FCTM AOP-30-30-2

A
  • Name and Indicate System
  • Name the pb or RESET/PWR supply button
  • Perform and announce the action

e.g. “ AIR, XBLEED, CLOSE “

PM should check the SD page to verify action

22
Q

Handling of ECAM/QRH/OEB Proc.

Who should remain as PF during the ABN Procerdures?

UAE A380 FCTM AOP-30-30-3

A

Usually the PF remains the same unless the Captain decides reallocation of tasks or the failure impacts the PF to “FLY” e.g. EEC

23
Q

Handling of ECAM/QRH/OEB Proc.

What is the minimum altitude during a T/O or GA at which pilots should be able to initiate a “READ & DO” action? Is it a must?

UAE A380 FCTM AOP-30-30-3

A

400 ft AAL

May initiate below provided flight path is safe

24
Q

Handling of ECAM/QRH/OEB Proc.

How would the crew go about if an ECAM Sensed procedure requests that the flight crew apply an ECAM Not-Sensed or QRH Procedure

UAE A380 FCTM AOP-30-30-3

A
  • Keep the Procedure Displayed on ECAM
  • Apply the Not-Sensed Proc.
  • Tick the action line of the Sensed Proc.

To avoid the crew to be disturbed with less priority subsequent alerts

25
Q

Handling of ECAM/QRH/OEB Proc.

Who resets the Master WARNING/CAUTION light? What is the first action to follow that?

UAE A380 FCTM AOP-30-30-3

A

First pilot who notices.
PM will announce the title of the failure and confirm the ECAM by inspecting the SD and/or OVHD Panel before any action.

Sensors on OVHD Panel and/or SD may differ from FWC sensor

26
Q

Handling of ECAM/QRH/OEB Proc.

When are OEB’s considered when handling ECAM?

UAE A380 FCTM AOP-30-30-3

A

Before “ECAM Actions” and after “STATUS / STOP ECAM”

27
Q

Handling of ECAM/QRH/OEB Proc.

When “STOP ECAM” is announced in the normal sequence of events what are the things considered before resuming ECAM?

UAE A380 FCTM AOP-30-30-3

A
  • Normal C/L
  • Computer Reset
  • Any additional Proc. (OEB)
28
Q

Handling of ECAM/QRH/OEB Proc.

When the STATUS indicates a DEFERRED procedure, should the crew action it or at the later stage (e.g. approach) when the STATUS is referred to again?

UAE A380 FCTM AOP-30-30-3

A

Those actions are to be performed at a more appropriate time. The purpose of reading the content of the deferred procedures is to evaluate and anticipate the workload for each flight phase.

29
Q

Handling of ECAM/QRH/OEB Proc.

What happens when an ECAM warning dissapears while the procedure is being applied?

UAE A380 FCTM AOP-30-30-3

A

Warning is considered no longer applicable and procedure can be stopped

e.g. engine fire extinguishes after first bottle discharge

30
Q

Handling of ECAM/QRH/OEB Proc.

When crew needs to review or discuss a Not-Sensed Procedure should they do that by bringing it up via the ECP or refer to the FCOM? And why?

repeated question to add emphasis

UAE A380 FCTM AOP-30-30-3

A

FCOM.
* Limitations/Memos will appear on the EWD/PDF
* If Not Sensed proc. is unduly activated AVNCS/FWS will reconfigure their behaviour accordingly

31
Q

Handling of ECAM/QRH/OEB Proc.

How should crew go about activating an ECAM Not-Sensed Proc. ?

UAE A380 FCTM AOP-30-30-3

A
  • PF: “Check ECAM Not Sensed” or “SELECT XXX ABN PROC” if PF knows the name of the procedure
  • PM “ABN PROC pb … Press, SEARCH and SELECT”
  • PM “Activate (PROC Name)?”
  • PF “Activate”
  • PM Activates Procedure
32
Q

Handling of ECAM/QRH/OEB Proc.

How may the crew go about applying deferred procedures?

UAE A380 FCTM AOP-30-30-3

A
  • Same tasksharing as for a C/L
  • Deferred PROC are integrated in the C/L menu and applied in the displayed order
33
Q

Handling of ECAM/QRH/OEB Proc.

What should the crew do after ECAM/QRH/OEB actions are completed?

UAE A380 FCTM AOP-30-30-3

A
  • Resume Normal Operation Tasksharing
  • Review FCOM (note)
  • Assess Situation
  • Recall STATUS to check penalties (fuel, Landing distance..)
  • Consider Ops, maintenance and commercial aspects
  • Apply Decision making
  • Inform ATC, CC, PAX, AOC

If time permits refer to FCOM but should not prolong the flight doing so

34
Q

Handling of ECAM/QRH/OEB Proc.

Whay should crew keep in mind when handling an ADVISORY?

UAE A380 FCTM AOP-30-30-4

A
  • Sensors that trigger ADV may be different than FWS
  • ADV is to bring attention to the crew of a drifting parameter
  • No specific action required if ECAM not triggered

ADV is a funtion provided by CDS (Control and Display System)

35
Q

Handling of ECAM/QRH/OEB Proc.

How should crew go about handling of an advisory?

(Tasksharing)

UAE A380 FCTM AOP-30-30-4

A
  • First crew to notice announces “ADVISORY on XYZ system”
  • PF Requests PM to monitor
  • Time permitting, PM refers to FCOM to review triggering conditions
36

A

Caution can be deleted via EMER CANC pb

37
Q

Airbus Operational Philosophy

What are the AIRBUS “Golden rules for pilots”?

Four

UAE A380 FCTM AOP-40

A
  1. Fly. Navigate, Communicate
  2. Use appropriate level of automation at all times
  3. Understand FMA at all times
  4. Take actions if things do not go as expected
38
Q

Golden Rules for Pilots

Clarify “FLY”

Fly Navigate Communicate

UAE A380 FCTM AOP-40

A
  • PF: monitor and control a/c on all axes to achieved desired flightpath targets in both planes.
  • PM: Assist PF with active monitoring of parameters and callout deviations
39
Q

Golden Rules for Pilots

Clarify “Navigate”

Fly Navigate Communicate

UAE A380 FCTM AOP-40

A
  • Know where you are
  • Know where you should be
  • Know where you should go
  • Know where the hazards are (WX, TERR etc.)
40
Q

Golden Rules for Pilots

Clarify “Communicate”

Fly Navigate Communicate

UAE A380 FCTM AOP-40

A
  • Inter pilot communication (PM and PF)
  • Pilots and ATC
  • Pilots and Cabin Crew
  • Pilots and Ground Crew

By using standard phraseology and callouts

41
Q

Golden Rules for Pilots

How to “use proper automation at all times”?

UAE A380 FCTM AOP-40

A
  • Understand the operational effect of the selected automation
  • Determine and select the appropriate level that aids in workload management and enhanced situational awareness

Manual flight must be agreed by both pilots by assessing a/c status, fatigue, weather, traffic and familiarty.

42
Q

Golden Rules for Pilots

How to “Understand FMA at all times”?

UAE A380 FCTM AOP-40

A
  • Confirm and X-Check actions on AFS by FCU or KCCU
  • Aware of guidance modes and targets
  • Aware of the A/C expected response
  • Aware of mode reversions/transitions
  • Monitor, announce, confirm and understand FMA

High knowledge of AFS, FMA monitoring and adherence to SOP required

43
Q

Golden Rules for Pilots

How must a pilot “Take action if things do not go as expected”

UAE A380 FCTM AOP-40

A

PF must immediately take control if a/c does not followed the desired flight path ot selected targets and there is no time to analyze the situation
PM must call out and bring attention to PF if a/c is not responding properly, challenge PF actions and be ready to take over when necessary.

Taking control is done by lowering the level of automation from managed to selected, selected to manual or managed straight to manual.
