Lesson Pointers Flashcards
What to remember when doing a procedure (go around, emergency decompression etc)
Take time, don’t rush, ensure memory items are done
When can landing checklist be done
When ECAM message appears
How to make briefs more interactive
Ask PM about the minima, who the next call is to, stop alts, etc. get them involved
What to remember on steep turns
Passing through 30degs, increase the back pressure and add some more thrust. Bottom of box on 2.5degs
What to remember regarding rotation
Nice and steady, 3 degs per sec, look to end of runway until it disappears
How to have feet for rudder
Sit with heels on floor
How to cancel autothrust
Move levers so donut aligns to needle, then use toga switches to disconnect
Difference between climb and open climb
Climb = climb to level alongside fmgs constraints
Open climb = climb unrestricted to a level at optimum rate
Stall recovery
- Pitch down to -5degs and hold
- Ensure wings level
- Ask for spoilers disarmed and flaps 1 (below fl200)
- Hold attitude and let speed build
- Slowly add thrust and remove flap as pitch up
Tip for slower go around process with autothrust
Advance levers to toga to initiate, then reduce two detents to climb
What to remember to do with flight directors
Follow them quickly
Best config if kept high and fast to slow and descend
Flap 2 and gear
How to adjust if too high or low on non precision
For every 100ft high or low, adjust by 1 deg
Every 10ft high or low, adjust by 0.1deg
How to check flaps have moved
Firstly check ecam display, check lever position, then check flap number indication
What to call when intercepting radial for vor approach
PM “RADIAL ALIVE”
PF “CHECKED”
How to navigate final approach for non precision
Use heading selector on FCU (except loc app)
When to commence decent for non precision
0.3nm to D
What is said when at top of decent for non precision
PF- “VS- go around altitude set”
PM- checked
