Line Training Flashcards
Turbulence penetration speeds
250kts up to FL150
275kts up to ~310 then 0.76
Min standoff distance from another jet on the ground
30m stationary
46m if moving
( TWY 15m light spacing helps judge )
Why might the GREEN hyd quantity be low in flight?
Gear is held up by the green system
Engine warm up requirements
If turn around >2hrs need 5min warm up
Fuel temp limits (max)
54/55° depending on callsign
Engine start sequence
IGN on 30sec after master switch on
EGT increase max 20sec after FF starts
IGN &Start valve off N2>43%
Manual engine start, when does eng master go on
> 30sec after man start pb and only if N2 stable >16%
What does the fault light on the eng panel below the master switch mean?
HP shutoff valve position is abnormal, auto start sequence has aborted, or there’s a malfunction of the thrust control. There will be an associated ECAM caution
When will an auto start automatically dry crank before adding fuel?
If EGT >250 until it’s down below 250
When is a full cockpit prep required?
When it’s a new airframe to you ( 1st flight of the day or tail swap)
Return to service after maintenance
Transit stop left unattended for >1hr
If you’re tankering fuel to a destination >30° what precautions should you apply?
Don’t retract below CONF 1
Don’t turn ADIRS off (realignment or Securing Aircraft)
Ensure ground equipment is clear before operating flaps/slats on turnaround
Thunderstorm avoidance in the cruise
Endeavour to avoid active cells by:
• 20nm CLIMB/CRZ/DES until 5000’ above
• 5nm TO/LAND
Changed to remove 10nm below FL250 IN FSO 202/22 16DEC22
Thunderstorm Avoidance Takeoff and Descent/Approach
• Don’t TO until clear path
• Descent clear of TS
• Circuit and App at least 5nm
• TO/Land, TS may be approached by <5nm with caution if storm has passed
Missed approach THR RED/ ACC heights
VMC - 1000 / 1500 HAA | 1500 HAT
IMC - 1500 HAA / MAPT ALT | MAPT ALT
(Can set MSA if lower than MAPT)
Last flight of the day checks
Only if landing at main mtce base:
WAI ON for 30sec towards the end of CRZ, prior to TOD.
If HI PR fault appears: WAI OFF & ON again, check no caution for 10sec.
If it does come on again, check again on DES.
After successful reset EXAM msg “THRUST LIM PENALTY” wil be there till after landing. No actual penalty applies in this case.
Descent speeds and ROD limits
250kts below 5000
Max 5000’/min FL200-5000’
Max 3000’/min to 3000’
Max 2000’/min to 1000’
Max 1000’/min below 1000’
