Interview Study Flashcards
United Crews Typically Brief Over the Following Threats:
Threats
Fuel plan
Mx status
NOTAMS
Taxi Plan/Hot Spots
RTO Criteria
Evacuations Duties
Departure Clearance
Departure SID Review
Weather/Windshear
Takeoff Performance
Engine Failure Procedures
Terrain/Obstacles
Planned Landing Fuel for Dispatch
6000lbs (Combo of the FAR min of 45mins and 15 mins contingency fuel)
Max Endurance Speed
210 knots at 10,000 MSL
Min Runway Required for Landing
5,000 feet
Normal Fuel Burn at Cruise
6,000 lbs. per hour or 100 lbs. per minute
Definition of CRM
Augments technical expertise to create a more productive, safe crew environment. CRM focuses on the behavioral skills used to effectively communicate and manage resources.
Threat and Error Management (TEM) Definition
Process of managing operational threats and human errors. Threat management reduces the potential for pilot error.
Rejected Take Off Critera
Below 80 knots reject for any abnormality.
Above 80 knots to V1 reject for fire, engine failure, loss of directional control.
CA - “Abort I’ve got it”
Disconnect auto throttle max reverse thrust.
Speed brake full extended
FO - Monitor deceleration
Alert ATC
Very actions have been completed
What actions are recommended when windshear is suspected on takeoff
Windshear T/O perf via ACARS or dispatch
Max rated takeoff thrust (no derate)
FD for takeoff and initial climb
Longest suitable runway provided it is clear of areas of known windshear
V-Speeds set for actual gross weight, delay rotation until WSVR
Windshear Caution “MONITOR RADAR DISPLAY”
Maneuver as required to avoid the windshear
Windshear warning “WINDSHEAR AHEAD, WINDSHEAR AHEAD”
During takeoff:
Prior to V1, reject takeoff
After V1, perform windshear escape maneuver
Predictive windshear warning during approach:
Perform the WS escape maneuver or, at pilots discretion go around.
Windshear warning during any phase of flight:
Perform the windshear escape maneuver
Windshear Escape Manuever
PF: AP/AT - disconnect
TO/GA - press
Thrust/Pitch - MAX power, pitch of 15
Speed brake - down detent
Do not change any configurations until clear or WS
Monitor vertical speed and altitude
Do not attempt to regain lost airspeed until WS is no longer a factor
PM: Ensure max thrust
Very all action items have been completed
Monitor VS AND RA.
Call out RA and rate of climb/descent.
Undesired Aircraft State (UAS) refers to
a position, attitude, condition, or configuration of an aircraft that reduces safety margins. It is a safety- compromising state that results from ineffective error management.
Threats are
operational events that are outside of the crewmember’s influence, increase operational complexity, and require increased attention to maintain safety margins.
Errors are
deviations from desired performance due to neglected or improper procedures.
