JCAB Q's - Nagasaki (Oct '17) Flashcards
Responsibility of the PIC
73: Authority of PIC (supervision of crew members)
73-2: Preflight Confirmation;
73-4: Prohibition of Safety Impending acts (responsibilities)
75: Measures in Danger
76: Obligation to report
154: PIC may also be liable for punishment if crew members themselves violate certain provisions, however this will not be the case where it has been proven that due care and supervision had been exercised to avoid the violation.
Why target approach speed is max VREF+20?
- At 300,000 lbs, pitch is -0.7 degrees - easy for nose gear landing and pitch low FOQA
- Probibility of float and increased landing distance required
AJX Bulletin Board, AJX FOQA News (Jan ‘17)
Why are there many cases of flap placard overspeed on the B767
- System Limitation: SPD LIM is 5kts below placard speed to keep path in VNAV PTH mode.
- Performance Limitation: > 376,000 lbs, F1 manoeuvre speed greater than F5 placard speed.
AOM 6-11-31-(24)
What’s your countermeasure for flap overspeed?
- System countermeasure: Speed intervene and adopt margin of 15 kts against flap placard speed in cases of rough air, wind change, sudden acceleration, heavy weight. (trying to control acceleration rate manually).
- Performance countermeasure: Understand that it is acceptable to be slightly below manouevre speeds at high weights as sufficient margin still exists. For example, 300,000 lbs at F1 there is 57kts margin to Vss.
INFO 423
‘GA’ call by copilot: Has PIC have to do GA in that case? Q: main problem of not following his ‘call’ and continuing approach:
Criteria:
Attitude and position, airspeed and sink rate, engine thrust
(AOM 3-1-16)
Coutermeasures:
Discuss stabilized approach durig approach briefing and invite copilot to be assertive (including GA call, but also saying that PIC will judge if able or not to continue depending on the circumstances).
Issues:
- Loss of CRM / Team environment
- Discourages assertions by co-pilot
- Could result in Captain’s not considering co-pilot’s assertions even when unstable.
New Calls:
- 1000’, configured, stable.
What was the highest MORA on the route today?
FL160 around Mt Fuji
In case of rapid depressurisation and emergency descent over area with MORA > 10,000’: first actions? How long would you stay at FL160?
- Carry out emergency descent and set Grid MORA for current area
- Once memory items complete, request radar heading and radar lowest safe from ATC. In the case of Fuji, if on the south side, any turn to the south will be over the water.
- A grid is 60nm and at 7 or 8 nm / min, only 10 minutes to cross the highest Grid MORA if required to maintain route. Passenger oxygen supply is 22 minutes so no problem at FL160.
What you do after conducting emergency descent? Continue to HKG or divert to TPE? Reasons why you choose to divert?
Considerations
- Fuel
- Medical assistance
- Weather
- MEA (comms)
- Nearest suitable airport required if safety of flight may be compromised
Contingency Fuel?
- Revised IAW the revsion of the Civil Aeronautis Act effective 1 April 2017
- 10% of flight time or
- 15 minutes holding at 1500’, which ever is greater
- 5% of flight time may be used where aircraft performance factors are used and weather along specified flight route is considered.
Contingeny fuel may be partly consumed before block out at the PIC’s discretion in case of unanticipated reason.
FCN 17-17
Is that value (CON fuel) (16 mins on the Navlog that day) a standard? Why 16’ then? What is PCF? Difference between PCF and Extra Fuel?
- No, as it is based on the greater of 5% of flight fuel or 15 minutes holding at 1500’, then it will change each flight.
- PCF, or planned contingency fuel is the company specified fuel quantity specific for each route to account for increased fuel consumption.
- Extra fuel is loaded when Captain and Flight Dispatcher consider it necessary to meet Company basic policy. ATC, weather, fuel loading procedure, others.
OM 3-7
HK FIR boundary (near the airport)? Draw it (he handles you a white A4 paper sheet where he drew only the location of HKG airport as a circle
JJ sketch
How far is ZGGG fir from from HK airport?
Other airports in the area?
- Shortest distance is 7nm on a bearing of 307 degrees from the ARP which is located in between the control tower and S1 taxiway.
- Macao: 240 degrees, 20m
- Guangzhou 330 degrees, 72nm
- Shenzen: 345 degrees, 20 nm
Jepp FD
RWY/RWYs orientation/designator of Shenzen airport?
15/33, 34/16 both over 11,000’
Distance of Shenzen airport from HKG apt?
20NM
CTR L/R FUEL PUMP message appears on ground? What do you do? What do you do if after reset message it comes on again? Can you do continue the flight? (do you Take Off?) You go back to the gate?
- reset to confirm situation prior to commencing NNC
- no mention of only 1 reset in new AOR procedures.
- may continue as per EICAS cross reference checklist - GTB (PIC)
