Lessons Learned Flashcards
What do you do when you hear the words “expect the _____ approach” from ATC
Build it: CDU, Freqs
Bug it: Vref, Baro/Altiimeter, course
Brake it: Auto brakes, recall
Brief it:
When you hear the words “cleared for the approach.” What should you do?
If the approach is a precision approach engage APP
If Non Precision approach:
LAVS-P
TOGA vs A/T disconnect
Be sure to depress the correct button. On the VOR, I mistakenly clicked toga when I wanted to disconnect A/T.
On the circle approach to 31R
Ensure your bank command is at least 25 If tower tells you to circle late, be sure to build spacing by putting your noodle to the right of where circles intersect. Don’t forget to keep working the noodle to the extended course
What do you say after 80 on takeoff
Knots
On a go-around if you are F/O don’t forget to say
“Positive rate”
When can you set missed approach altitude?
On a VNAV Approach, 300 feet below the FAF alt so ~1200
On a ILS Pilot calls flaps 30, set missed approach altitude, at FAF
Do you need to set the altitude to mins for approaches?
NO!
VNAV and APP modes capture the guidance and follow it down to baro or radar mins.
For VNAV, make sure it says Vert Path and for ILS glide slope captured
When do you call for the landing checklist?
Final landing configuration
When should you start to configure?
~5 miles from the final approach fix either way if already on glide path or glide slope
Or if intercepting below the glide path
When should say gear down flaps 15, flaps 30, landing checklist
You want to be fully configured by the FAF.
If on the glide path/slope about 2 miles out
If intercepting glide path/slope from below, at 1 dot below gear down flaps 15, speed 15
Flaps 30 landing checklist
At this time you should be capturing glide path/slope
The 5 Cs of a go-around
Cram- toga thrust or set go around thrust, flaps 15 (or 1 if single engine)
Climb- positive rate
Clean-gear up
Communicate-“vegas 1 on the go, request RWY heading or say nothing if you can fly the MAP)
Comply
What should you do with speed brake after calling landing checklist?
Arm it
