When must the autopilot be turned off after an autoland approach?
ROLLOUT/Taxi Speed
When is an autoland required?
Autoland is required below CAT I minimums.
Furthermore, to minimize the chances of a go around, Frontier’s policy is to set up and brief for
an autoland IF the reported RVR/visibility is at or below 1/2 mile or 2400 RVR AND all of the
requirements for an autoland can be met (environmental, aircraft approach capability, ground
equipment, etc.), the approach will be briefed and flown as a CAT II or CAT III autoland.
What is the maximum time limit to use TOGA thrust with all engines operating? How about if one
engine is inoperative?
5 mins
10 mins
Takeoff at reduced thrust is prohibited when? (Flex)
On slippery or contaminated runways;
When suspected, reported, or known windshear is present (e.g., predictive windshear alerts, or
ATC-issued windshear alerts for the departure runway or departure path);
When a Special Departure Procedure specifies full thrust for takeoff.
What is the maximum altitude that the Flaps or Slats may be extended?
FL200
What is max wind speed for passenger door operations? How about cargo door operations?
Passenger door operation - 65KTS
Cargo doors - 40KTS or 50KTS with nose into the wind
Cargo doors must be closed before wind reaches 65KTS
What are the flight maneuvering load acceleration limits?
Clean -1.0g - +2.5g
Dirty -0.0g - 2.0g
What is the Maximum Operational Pressure Altitude?
FL398
What are the Maximum and Minimum Pressure Altitudes for Takeoff and Landing?
+9,200
-2,000
What is considered a narrow runway?
Less than 148ft
What is VMO/MMO for the A320 and A321?
350KTS / 0.82Mach
What is the maximum speed that the landing gear may be retracted (VLO Retraction)?
220KTS / 0.54Mach
What is the maximum speed at which the landing gear may be extended (VLO Extension)?
250KTS / 0.60Mach
What is the maximum speed while the landing gear is extended (VLE Extended)?
280KTS / 0.67Mach
Are you permitted to use the APU if the LOW OIL LEVEL advisory is displayed on the ECAM? When is
a maintenance action required? Is a logbook entry required?
Maintenance action is required within 10 hours of APU operation.
What is the APU starter duty cycle limits?
After three consecutive APU start attempts, the flight crew must wait 60 min before a new start
attempt.
Are you permitted to start the APU during refueling? If a fuel spill occurs and the APU is running,
what should you do?
During refuel/defuel procedures, APU starts or shutdown are permitted with the following
restrictions:
* If the APU failed to start or following an automatic APU shutdown, do not start the APU.
* If a fuel spill occurs, perform a normal APU shutdown.
What is the max altitude for an APU start using normal electrics?
FL390
What is the max altitude to use the APU to supply electrical power with one pack operating?
FL225
What is the max altitude to use the APU for an engine start?
FL200
What is the max altitude to use the APU to supply electrical power with both packs operating?
FL150
Is the use of APU bleed air for wing anti-ice permitted?
No
The use of AP or FD in ______or _____ mode is not permitted inside the FAF or below 1000 ft AGL
on a visual approach?
OPEN DES
DES
Autolands are not authorized on runways less than ____ feet wide?
148ft
Autolands are approved for CONF 3 and CONF FULL. What configuration is recommended for all
autolands in order to maximize forward slant range visibility?
CONF FULL
Autolands are prohibited if braking action is reported less than _______?
Medium
What conditions must be satisfied to conduct an autoland approach?
- CAT II/III runway
- CAT II/III aircraft
- CAT II/III trained crew
- Appropriate ground facilities operational
- Wind within limits
- Braking action medium or better
If one or more of the autoland requirements cannot be met, may an approach still be conducted if
the weather is below ½ mile or 2400 RVR?
Yes. If one of the autoland requirements cannot be met (e.g. strong crosswind), a non-autoland
CAT I approach may be conducted down to our lowest authorized CAT I minimums (i.e., 1800 RVR or as published).
Autoland demonstrated Capability

5,750 - Series 700 - 799
When should you use LOW vs. Medium autobrakes for an autoland? Are autobrakes required for all CAT III approaches?

briefing card.
