LFUS 1 Flashcards
Are gusts entered on the perf page for an app?
No, enter the average wind
What does eng A/I do to the descent rate?
It will reduce it as the FADEC commands a higher idle thrust with eng A/I on
In the hold what is the preferred descent mode?
DES to give 1000 ft/min rate of descent
In strong or gusty winds, what should be considered with regard to VAPP?
Adjust in accordance with guidance in QRH
When is AUTO BRK MED used on app?
a) Autoland;
b) Landing on short runways;
c) Landing on contaminated runways;
d) Landing in limiting crosswinds.
If an ATC time constraint is entered at a WP in the cruise, what range of speeds will the a/c fly within?
GDS and Mach 0.84
In ALT CRZ, A/THR enters soft mode. What does this do?
Allows deviation around the target Mach (typically ±4 kt) before a thrust adjustment occurs
What speed gives best climb angle?
GDS
What speed gives best rate of climb?
Turb speed - in QRH
When “EXTEND SPEEDBRAKES” is displayed, how much speed brake deflection is assumed?
Half. The path intercept point is displayed as a zig zag arrow on the ND
What is the purpose of GS mini?
To keep the a/c energy level above a min value in gusts or shear
When using AUTO BRK MED what may be required as a control input?
Up to full pitch up to prevent the nose wheel slamming the rwy.
Above what height may the std GA procedure not be followed and CL power selected immediately after TOGA?
1000 aal
Why should the FD pitch bar not be followed on rotation?
It does not provide any pitch rate order
On rotation, when is flight mode (normal law) blended in?
~5 secs after 50ft RA
