LFUS 3 Flashcards
How is a primary failure shown on ECAM?
As a boxed item
What is the max vertical speed in RVSM airspace?
1500 ft/min (recommended to use 1000 ft/min)
What is the max legal tolerance on the ground for RVSM?
75 ft of apron and 20 ft between altimeters
How is a secondary failure shown on ECAM?
Shown as a starred system shown in amber on the right EWD memo
What level of ECAM caution has no audio?
Level 1 caution
What ECAM actions must be verified by the PF when airborne?
All irreversible actions (i.e. movement of any Engine, Fuel, Fire Control or guarded switch) must be cross-checked by the PF.
If LAND ASAP is not shown on STS, what should the PNF consider?
Consulting the FCOM for additional info
Once the STS page is cleared, what should the PNF do?
Announce ECAM actions complete
When is the only time the PF make his own FCU selections when manual flying?
During an ECAM drill to avoid distracting the PNF from the drill
In what drill is the SD lost?
ELEC EMER CONFIG drill (ESS AC + ESS DC only)
With an emergency on the ground while starting or taxiing, who completes ECAM actions?
FO. Capt takes control
With a burst tyre at high speed, should the TO be continued?
Yes. Considered better to get airborne then dump fuel if req’d
What signifies the end of initial actions for an engine failure?
With damage: AGENT 1 DISCH
Without damage: ENG MASTER OFF
What are the 3 strategies for dealing with an eng fail in the cruise?
a) The Standard Strategy;
b) The Obstacle Strategy;
c) The Fixed Speed Strategy.
What signifies the end of initial ECAM actions for an eng fire?
AGENT 2 DISCHARGE
What speed is flown in the standard strategy?
M .82/300 kt
What speed is flown in the obstacle strategy?
GDS
What does reverse thrust do to the deceleration rate in a stop?
Deceleration rate remains the same as controlled by auto brake. Will reduce workload of the brakes though
On what rwy surface condition is credit taken for thrust reverse?
Wet. No credit taken for dry
In the case of an EFATO, at what is the first point a turn can be commenced?
Runway end TH (even if specified alt already reached)
In an EFATO, what is the max speed on the initial climb?
V2 + 20
If a non-std EFP has an accel alt above 1500ft aal when should the accel phase begin
Still at 1500 aal. Once at the specified although commence the turn
For a long flare, roughly how much dist is added for each second of extra flare?
100m per sec
What does a black triangle at the bottom of a LIDO approach chart indicate?
Further weather minima are shown on the overflow table
In what order are the runway thirds ordered when reporting runway condition?
Starting with the lowest runway designator (ie from 09 even if landing on 27)
What is the max validity of a SNOWTAM?
8 hours
How is a runway described in a SNOWTAM?
Always by the lowest designator, not the direction in use (ie 09L if landing on 27R)
In the event of degraded navigation in an RNP environment (ie NAT HLA) where can advice be found?
In the FCOM
FCOM-PRO-SPO-51-…
