JCAB Q's - Nagasaki (May '17) Flashcards

1
Q

Is the controllability of steering varied by the taxi speed?

A
  1. Tiller = 65o turning
  2. Rudder pedals = 7o
  3. Tiller overrides rudder

At higher speeds you must use caution in regards to using the tiller as it becomes very sensitive. It is recommended that when on a straight taxiway that rudder pedals are used, as they provide enough ability for steering.

At lower speeds the tiller is the best method for turning, especially under slippery conditions where the speed must be kept to 3kts. Caution to be used to avoid nose wheel skidding or slipping.

Q

If a passenger hits a CA, what do you have to do?

A

Classified as Category 1 Behaviour so in principle issue a Warning Letter.

A measure for Category 1 and 3 to firmly tell (WARN) the passenger that their behaviour is unlawful

CA shall warn them verbally, or present a Warning Letter to the passenger after obtaining the Captains permission
Written in 12 languages and says that the unruly behaviour is a violation of the Civil Aeronautics Law
Report to ground staff/operations and request assistance: Flight, Details of behaviour and Pax info
On the ground

Request assistance from Ground Staff. On the ground as the PIC you do not have the authority to offload the passengers. However as the PIC has the full and final responsibility for the safety of all persons on board and the safe operation of the aircraft, I will be stating to the Ground staff that they ARE to be offloaded. Along with this, passengers bags will be required to be offloaded, new W/B will be required to be sent to the aircraft as well. Getting witness statements and if necessary contact the Company directly and request Police to attend to the aircraft.

In Flight
Take necessary actions to ensure the safety of flight and of the passengers and crew:

Restrain passengers if necessary
Have them seated separately until landing
Contact the company and advise them of the situation and to have Police and Station Manager to meet the aircraft upon arrival
Divert to nearest Suitable airport if the safety of the flight is in danger
Get Cabin Crew to take eyewitness statements
Call upon ANA Staff/DH Crew to assist CA’s if necessary
Inform ATC of the fact that passengers are restrained if required

Q

It says the landing flap should be set at or later than 4NM on Final. How do you think of
this procedure in relation to the Stabilized approach? If unable to comply, is the pilot’s
request necessary?

A

Jepp Ref Noise Abatement Procedures
The final authority to apply these procedures rests on each PIC, who may use other appropriate procedures if determined to be necessary in the interest of safety.
4nm=1400’ AMSL approx.
No need to request

Also, new procedures for stabilized callouts which give the pilots the option of not being stabilized at 1000’ AGL due to local procedure such as NRT flap at 4.0 DME.

At or below 300’ in final app phase the captain shall takeover immediately if the co-pilot manipulation is not satisfactory. Instead of just giving instruction or advises

49
Q

Any decision standard for G/A when long touch down?

A

If landing outside the touchdown zone 750-2000’ make a GA

50
Q

GA on PAR approach?

A

If the aircraft goes below the Lower Safety Alignment Limit,
Final Controller will give the aircraft the instruction of G/A.

51
Q

If Lost communication occurs soon after Takeoff, what is the lost communication
procedures? Which altitude are you climbing to?

A

Altitude:
If failure occurs at or after MEA or initial assigned altitude then 7 minutes AFTER squawking 7600 climb to Flight Plan filed cruise altitude
If failure occurs prior to reaching MEA, climb to MEA then 7 minutes AFTER reaching MEA, climb to Flight Plan filed cruise altitude
Try to establish communications using all available methods:

52
Q

If that happens during Radar Vector, what are you going to do?

A

When being vectored if the target point has been specified then proceed to that point, if not specified proceed to the nearest fix on the route after selecting 7600

53
Q

How do you decide Lost Communication on PAR APCH?

A

The final controller transmits more than 1 time every 5 seconds. If 5 seconds elapses wth no transmission from the final controller than Lost Comm would be presumed.

54
Q

Any restrictions when MEL is applied?

A

The MEL should only be used in such cases where repairs or replacement cannot be made within a scheduled stay time due to lack of spare parts, facilities, personnel and or time. If the PIC made judgment that the inoperative item should be repaired considering overall circumstances the AE(OM) shall repair it before departure regardless of the conformity with MEL requirement.

55
Q

Any limitation of the number of MEL items simultaneously?

A

No Limitation. However interrelationship between inoperative items and the effect on the aircraft operation and crew workload shall be considered to maintain acceptable level of safety.

56
Q

If no consensus has been formed between Pilots and Mechanics when applying MEL,
What are you going to do?

A

If a consensus has not been reached between Pilot and Mechanics the MEL cannot by applied. The final judgement on the application of the MEL is from the PIC

Cat 2 is a violation against against Aviation Law 73-4 and 164-15 of the Regulations and punishable.
The Prohibition Order comes after reporting to the Captain. So it is issued under the command of the captain

59
Q

When do you decide Minimum Fuel?

A

If the current FMC route and calculated fuel prediction has arrival fuel at Reserve plus Alternate fuel. I would declare Minimum fuel situation.

60
Q

If you want the priority for arrival, what are you going to do?

A

AIM J 791. Says Declare an emergency.

PAN-PAN, PAN-PAN, PAN-PAN fuel remaining 50 minutes request approach clearance without delay.

61
Q

When do you decide Emergency for Low Fuel? How much Fuel Quantity in pound do you
decide?

A

If on the current FMC route and calculated fuel prediction has arrival fuel below 5000lbs I would declare Emergency for Low Fuel.

68
Q

What is the obligation of all Pilots instead of PIC regarding Maintaining Watch?

A

Article 71-2 Says Any person who is piloting an aircraft shall, while in flight, maintain a watch so as to not collide with other aircraft or objects when weather permits.

69
Q

What kind of situations are you making decisions of RTO?

A

Engine failure, takeoff configuration warning, any Fire warning.

70
Q

What is Contingency Fuel?

A

The fuel that is carried to allow for difference in actual Temperatures, Wind strength, Flight level, flight weight, aircraft performance or use of anti ice.
for example
Greater of: 5% of Burn Off Fuel or the amount required for 15 minutes holding under ISA conditions
Estimated Landing Weight at Destination
Assumed to be consumed by the time the aircraft lands at Destination, but for weight calculation it is not considered to be consumed

71
Q

What is PCF? Difference from CON?

A

PCF is a standard amount of fuel the company has decided for each route. Its based on statistical processing of actual results.
Difference from Contingency Fuel is that PCF is a Specified Amount as opposed to Contingency Fuel which will vary depending on the the Burn Off Fuel and Flight time.

72
Q

What situation do we need to select two alternate airports?

A

When the weather at the destination airport is forecast to below the Landing Minima intermittently at the ETA

However in the case where the CIG and VIS indicates AT or ABOVE 1500’ and 5000m at the ETA of the first Alternate Airport, the second Alternate Airport is not required

73
Q

What did you check regarding GPS availability?

A

NOTAMS:
GPS Constellation Status : Orbital Plan and Total number of Satellites (if less than 24 then cannot do RNAV5, but no problems as navigate by NAVAIDS)

GPS RAIM for Approach/Terminal Prediction: ensure countries and destination and if applicable alternate

On Flight Plan: RAIM FOR TERMINAL INFORMATION : NIL or specified Time

74
Q

What was updated in Jan 2016?

A

Operational Standard for the use of GPS when flying under Instrument Flight Rules.
GPS can be used as the main Nav system for RNAV in operations where GNSS or GPS is required, DME Gap exceeds 14nm during RNAV1 or 2 flight or DME Gap exceeds 100nm for RNAV5 flight.

75
Q

When “UNABLE RNP” message has been seen, what are you doing?

A

ANP exceeds RNP
Means that the navigation performance regarding navigation accuracy is not being satisfied,
RNP operation can not be continued
Verify the ANP and if exceeded, notify ATC and follow their instructions

nothing to do with Cross Track Error

76
Q

What is the points when conducting Basic-RNP1 in Hong Kong? What do you confirm?

A

Database is current
Correct SID/STAR is loaded and depicted on the EHSI and LEGS page
Sequence of waypoints is correct
RNP1 is displayed
GPS NAV is updating
Confirm that all required equipment is operational

77
Q

What is the Engine Failure Reference Procedure?

A

These are established as the reference for takeoff with one engine failure at airports of which surrounding geographic conditions are relatively rigorous, etc. taking in consideration the following conditions:

Engine failure at V1
V2 climb
Acceleration and flap retraction at 1000’ AFE unless otherwise specified
Turn at 15* AofB until flaps up manoeuvring speed and at 25* AofB after that
No visibility of the ground surfaces or obstacles

Regarding missed approach, EFRP are established in case the obstacle clearance is insufficient with one engine failure. Eg. VHHH

SID’s do not take into account an Engine Failure and therefore climb gradients may not necessarily be met.

78
Q

What is the Obstacle Limit Weight? Explain the climb gradient in each case of two
engines and single engine.

A

The weight that the aircraft can still satisfy the below requirements.
Requirements
Clear all obstacles in an area 300 feet plus 0.125D where D is the horizontal distance the aircraft has travelled from the runway threshold by 35ft
If heading change is 15* or less, obstacles greater than 2000 feet on either side of the intended track need not be cleared
If heading change greater than 15*, obstacles greater than 3000 feet on either side of the intended track need not be cleared

The requirement is 2.4% in the second segment which is most limiting.

79
Q

What are you doing when Radio Communication failure happens soon after initiation of
radar vector on BEACH-1 Departure from RJAA? Explain in each case of metrological
condition: VMC or IMC?

A

MC

Maintain VMC
Squawk 7600
Land at nearest airport with which a safe landing is possible
Try to establish communications using all available methods:
3 VHF radios
2 HF radios
SATCOM
ACARS with the company
“TRANSMITTING IN THE BLIND”
If landing at a Towered airport, look for light signals from the tower and acknowledged accordingly

IMC

Squawk 7600
Route:
Follow the assigned route in the ATC clearance
When being vectored if the target point has been specified then proceed to that point, if not specified proceed to the nearest fix on the route

Altitude:
If failure occurs at or after MEA or initial assigned altitude then 7 minutes AFTER squawking 7600 climb to Flight Plan filed cruise altitude
If failure occurs prior to reaching MEA, climb to MEA then 7 minutes AFTER reaching MEA, climb to Flight Plan filed cruise altitude
Try to establish communications using all available methods:
3 VHF radios
2 HF radios
SATCOM
ACARS with the company

“TRANSMITTING IN THE BLIND”
If landing at a Towered airport, look for light signals from the tower and acknowledged accordingly

80
Q

In case you are requested to apply a MEL at the aircraft, what is the standard procedure?

A

PIC Actions
Make the disposition whether appropriate MEL will be applied or not in accordance with the explanation of discrepancy, cause, appropriate MEL from AE(OM) and from Flight Dispatcher if operational restriction is required, with considering operational circumstances.
Check that the required maintenance actions have been accomplished. Make sure the conclusion of the flight dispatcher is appropriate and revised flight plan meets MEL requirement. Exercise judgement whether or not to commence the flight with MEL items.
Confirm again the record of applied MEL is correctly written on the Journey Log and Radio Log before departure.

81
Q

What does AE (Authorized Engineer) do?

A

The AE(OM) has the responsibility and authority to perform the maintenance action required by the MEL, to confirm that every maintenance requirement of the MEL is satisfied, and to release the aircraft without deferral.

82
Q

What was the problem in your company’s case of the inappropriate application of CDL?

A

Received notice just prior to leaving STC about the necessity to apply CDL
Given a new flight plan and copy of CDL but failed to confirm that the CDL number and title matched the flight plan
Ship side received briefing from Engineer
The CDL notified by the assistant dispatcher was different from the CDL explained by the Engineer
Crew did not pick up the error as both where related to a flaps issue
Crew confirmed that the Journey Log records and placard attachment where correct and in line with the explanation received from Engineer
There were descriptions about performance penalties but the crew failed to recheck this ship side as they had already checked it at STC
Wasn’t until arriving at the destination that the mistake was discovered
The flight plan had been created with the incorrect CDL as a result of the maintenance personnel at the office entering the incorrect information into the system
3 people need to check its correct: PIC-Engineer-Flight dispatch
Mutual confirmation
Navigation log specifies CDL#, Correction to Fuel burn and Fuel penalty

83
Q

What is the maximum allowable altimeter reading difference?

A

Three checks of the altimeters are required:

Confirm the difference between primary altimeter and field elevation is within 75’
Confirm the difference between the two primary altimeter is within 40’
In flight confirm the difference between the two primary altimeters is within 200’

84
Q

About the mutual confirmation of the main altimeters.

A

In flight confirm the difference between the two primary altimeters is within 200’ for RVSM airspace

85
Q

Is there any message shown when the difference exceeds the maximum allowable?

A

“ALT DISAGREE”

Aircraft does not meet RVSM airspace requirements
Contact ATC immediately and comply with their instructions

Follow checklist

86
Q

What was the problem in your company’s case of the PAR APCH including CRM?

A

What was the problem

Aircraft started descent early and without ATC instruction
ATC will issue “Begin descent” to aircraft even if the aircraft has visual references for landing

CRM

A good briefing is essential
It is essential to have mutual understanding of the procedure and expected ATC instructions
Set up early and have checklist completed early, prior to 10nm
Monitor MCP and FMA and EADI

87
Q

What is the relation to the Obligation of Report of PIC?

A

CAL Article 76 - Obligation to Report

PIC is obligated to report certain matters. These can be classified into four groups:

Article 76 (1) Accidents 
Article 76 (2) Accidents to other aircraft 
Article 76 (3) Any malfunction to a group facility or any other incident on the ground 
Article 76-2 Any dangerous situation occurring on the aircraft
88
Q

What case do you have to report?

A

OM S-8-3 lists the items that are required to be reported and should be used when required.

89
Q

What about in case of “Monitor Vertical Speed” of TCAS RA?

A

Any TCAS RA must be reported as stipulated by RMB. ASR.

90
Q

What is the point when leveling off such a low altitude with regard to procedure and
FMS?

A

Good briefing on technique and actions of PM
500’ thrust reduce 80%
700’ begin level off
“ALT CAP” - order Speed On and set pre briefed speed
Be careful not to descend

91
Q

What are you doing when the alternate airport has been closed?

A

Captain and Flight Dispatcher will:

If possible change the alternate airport on the basis of fuel endurance

or

Utilise the No Alternate Airport requirements:
Flight time to destination not more than 6 hours
WX forecast for at least 1 hour before ETA to 1 hour after ETA is:
Ceiling will be greater of 1500’ above DH/MDA or 2000’ AFE
Visibility will be greater of 5000 or RVR/VIZ + 3200m

or

Change the destination

92
Q

What is the requirement for continue flying to the destination airport?

A

Captain and Flight Dispatcher will check:

If the Alternate Airport weather is forecast to be at or above a ceiling of 1500’ and visibility of 5000m at the ETA

or

If able to hold over the destination, taking into account fuel remaining, until the weather conditions are forecast to improve

If either of these are possible flight may continue to Destination.

If either of these are not possible then the following applies:

Change the Destination Airport or
Select and Additional Alternate Airport

93
Q

What are the counter measures when climbing and descending?VMo MMo.

A

Modify CLB/DESCENT speeds when flying into or out of high wind speeds
Use V/S during climb
On descent start early when coming out of strong tailwinds so that the descent rate is gradually increasing
Be aware that VNAV will only command a gradual pitch increase (passenger comfort) if speed approaches limits and takes time to recognise the situation

94
Q

Explain the important point of using speedbrake in this case.

A

If using Speed Brake near VMO/MMO be aware that when stowing the speed brake, the aircraft will have a tendency to pitch down, this can result in overspending the aircraft
Use CAUTION!!

95
Q

When do you make a decision to continue/go around if RVR goes worse? Approach Ban

A

OM 5-3-5 (2)
A specified point on the approach where a pilot may not continue beyond unless:
The weather is at or above the minima weather concerned for the Capt
RVR is above 200m
Also regards to equipment failure

Points

FAF, OM, 1000’AFE, as specified in the Pink Pages

96
Q

When do you make a decision to continue/go around if the wind gets close to maximum
crosswind.

A
