Q

Is an APU fire test required if the APU is already running?

A

No, it is not. An APU fire test is only required if the APU is not running on the first flight of the day/duty.

Q

If a LO PR warning occurs with less than 200kg in the centre tank, is
this a real threat? When would this be real?

A

A LO PR warning can be considered spurious if there less than 200kg in the centre tank.

At these times the centre tank pumps should be selected off and the mode selected to MAN. Consider turning pumps back ON /AUTO once established in stable flight in cruise. If unsuccessful, turn the pumps OFF / MAN and treat the remaining fuel in the centre tank as unuseable.

Q

What conditions might a manual start be recommended?

A

After aborting a start, because of:
* Engine stall, or Engine EGT overlimit, or LO START AIR PRESS, or no N1 Rotation, or hung start.

When expecting a start abort, because of:
* Degraded bleed performance, due to hot conditions, or high altitude
* An engine with a reduced EGT margin, in hot conditions, or high altitude
* Marginal performance of the external pneumatic power group
* Tailwind greater than 10kts

Q

If you lost comms with the ground crew on pushback, how would you
attempt to regain contact?

A

If a loss of communication occurs, flight crew will attempt to regain contact by:
- Flashing taxi/landing lights
- Contacting company on VHF
Also use the above methods to re-establish contact after disconnect

Q

When may acceleration altitude be raised?

A

Acceleration altitude may be raised in the following circumstances, with intermediate altitudes permitted:

  • Speed restrictions below Green Dot below 3000ft HAA
  • Climb gradient requirements exceed 6%
  • Windshear or turbulence is expected
  • Local procedures specify NADP1 or a higher acceleration altitude (i.e Hobart RWY 30 ALL ENG PROC)

Q

When is it appropriate to accept a non-standard FL?

A

To meet specific operational requirements and maintain schedule integrity. I.e. in order to:

  • Minimise fuel burn if standard flight levels are not available
  • Avoid departure delays
  • Facilitate traffic flow and minimise altitude blockages
  • Avoid turbulence or anticipated wx
  • Operate on one way routes

*Only when there is a distinct operational advantage to be gained, and only when all FCM can remain vigilant with respect to adhering to the block

Australian, New Zealand, Oakland and Singaporean FIRs in controlled airspace only. Good communications must exist to accept the clearance. HF is not considered a good medium*

Q

At what FL or below is it acceptable to be managed/managed in a
high-speed descent?

A

Approximately FL260

In order from TOD:

  • Avoid using DES mode when commencing descent and whilst descending through the higher/mid flight levels (reducing risk of overspeed due to target speed range).
  • The use of DES mode combined with managed speed once in the lower FLs (below approximatelly FL260) is acceptable once margin from VMO/MMO is established.*

Q

If ATC give instructions for you to climb/descend to a particular level, how long do you have to commence the change of level?

A

WIP

You must change of level as soon as possible but not later than 1 minute after receiving that instruction from ATC, unless that instruction specifies a later time or place.

91
Q

If during pushback/tow the shear pin is broken, what action must be taken?

A
  • A broken shear pin requires engineering inspection.
  • The Aircraft is not to be moved until engineering has completed an inspection and deemed the aircraft safe to taxi or to be towed.
  • The aircraft must then return to the bay for any further engineering inspections and a tech log entry is to be completed by the engineers before the aircraft can be released into service.

92
Q

When must you declare minimum fuel?

A

Minimum Fuel
Crew shall advise ATC of a minimum fuel state by declaring ‘MINIMUM FUEL’ when, having committed
to land at a specific aerodrome, any change to the existing clearance may result in landing with less
than planned fixed reserve fuel. This declaration will not result in increased priority for landing, but
indicates to ATC that an emergency situation could occur should there be any further delay.
