LFUS 2 Flashcards
When is the MEL relevant to MNPS airspace?
Prior to dep and prior to entry of MNPS airspace
If a system failure occurs while flying westbound once in MNPS airspace what may be required?
Approval to enter Canadian MNPS (CMNPS) airspace
What should be done if the GPS accuracy is considered unreliable?
GPS must be de-selected and navigation carried out in MIX IRS
What call is made to tell ATC that an a/c is not RNAV approved?
“(Callsign); Negative RNAV”
What is single eng speed for ETPs etc?
420 kt
When is “(Callsign); Unable RNAV due equipment” used?
When there is a problem with RNAV equipment on the a/c
What is the min equipment for RVSM?
a) Two primary altimeters
b) One automatic altitude control system;
c) One altitude alerting device;
d) One transponder.
Is the standby alt req’d for RVSM?
No
What is the max alt difference in RVSM airspace?
200 ft. ATC must be notified of a 150 ft split in EU
In the UK when are LVPs enforced?
When cloudbase below 200ft and RVR below 600m
When will the Red Autoland Warning Light come on?
If there is an excessive deviation below 200ft RA. Mandatory GA
What should the initial avoidance action in the IATA broadcast area?
Descend 500 ft
Unless another manoeuvre seems more appropriate
What speed can be far higher than usual at hot and high airfields?
TAS
This can lead to a high RoD on app
With A/I on what can the additional fuel burn be?
1-6%
Below what temp is ground power req’d for APU start?
-15°C
Which type of fluid provides little to no A/I protection?
Type I
If taxiing in icy conditions or where slush is present, how should the AFTER START cx be altered?
Leave flap setting until rwy holding point
If eng does not shutdown when master SW to OFF what is the procedure?
In FCOM. Check LP valve pos on Fuel SD page. If not closed, push ENG FIRE P/B
When should wing A/I be put on?
Whenever there is an indication of airframe icing. This may be ice on the visual ice indicator or on the windshield wipers.
What are the freezing points of Jet A1 and Jet A?
Jet A = -40°C
Jet A1 = -47°C
When should SATCOM be used for voice calls?
Only when HF, VHF, or CPDLC is not available
Is it possible to enter a cruise FL above MAX REC FL?
Yes, limited to 0.2g buffet margin.
MAX REC FL gives 0.3g
What config is recommended if forced to make an app in poss windshear?
Config 3
What is the optimum config for capturing the GS from above?
- Ldg gear extended
- Flaps 2 selected
- Flying at VFE2 - 5 kt
How long does the brake accumulator maintain parking brake pressure?
At least 12 hrs
Why is Flap 3 recommended for an approach in possible windshear?
To provide more energy for the go-around
given no config change on GA
