Q

Emergency Landing at Nearest Suitable Airport

A

An emergency landing at the nearest suitable airport should be considered by the Captain in the event of:

  1. Engine failure or engine fire
  2. When smoke fire or fumes occur in the cabin that cannot be immediately and positively determined to be eliminated or extinguished.
  3. One main hydraulic system remaining
  4. One main AC power source remaining
  5. When problems occur in the altimeter system and a correct altitude cannot be confirmed safely with other procedures or by use of the standby altimeter
  6. The non-­normal checklist contains the words “Plan to land at the nearest suitable airport”
  7. Any other situation where significant adverse effects on safety may be possible if the flight is continued (window damage, fuel filter, reverser unlocked, volcanic ash)

Q

Cargo fire in PAX, BCF, F

A
  1. PAX: FWD or AFT CARGO FIRE ARM Switch arms the respective extinguishers for that compartment, then CARGO BTL DISCH SW. (one bottle fires immediately and one 30 mins later or after landing)
  2. F: FWD or AFT CARGO FIRE ARM Switch arms the respective extinguishers for that compartment, then DEPR/DISCH switch to fire the bottles. Procedure also works for Main Deck with fire supression. MAIN CARGO FIRE ARM switch then DEPR/DISCH to depressurize the aircraft.
  3. BCF: MAIN CARGO FIRE ARM switch then DEPR/DISCH to depressurize the aircraft.

Q

Naha RNAV approach and one GPS fails, what is the course of action? Two GPS’?

A

After commencing approach reasons to abandon the approach are:

  • If pilots can not monitor the X-track by EHSI
  • If UNABLE RNP message appears
  • If cross-track error exceeds 1 x RNP

No mention of equipment, so two GPS’ may fail and approach continued provided ANP is satisfied.

Q

EICAS Cross Reference Checklist

A

ECRC is an extract of the ECRC from the MEL/CDL and is used to confirm the appropriate MEL for the displayed EICAS message prior to block out and used to make a decision whether or not to continue the flight or return from block out until take off.

17
Q

Maximum quick turn around weight

A

In case of landing above a specified weight a minimum turn around time of 75 minutes is applied before checking the thermal plugs prior to the subsequent takeoff. 75 mins is minimum check time, not takeoff time.

Q

Recent RVR reporting changes

A

New MIOS in Japan with equipment upgrade at FUK and KIX.

  • Assessed when VIS ≤ 1500m or RVR ≤ 2000
    Lower limit is 50m
    *RVR assessed near the TDZ at a lateral distance of maximum 120m from centreline.

Reported in steps of 25m between 50 - 400
Reported in steps of 50m between 400 - 800
Reported in steps of 100m between 800 - 2000
If //// is reported, apply CMV

  • only relevant airports are KIX and FUK.
