Loops, sequencing and working packages

Question 1

5-T rule

Answer 1

Time check, Twist, Turn, Tabulate, Talk

Question 2

Navigation update package

Answer 2

FLPLN, COM, NAV, ADF, DME, BRG, XPDR

Question 3

Proceed to xy and hold means automatically for G1000

Answer 3

“direct to xy” and “OBS mode”

Question 4

Cleared for approach means

Answer 4

arm APCH or NAV

Question 5

Transition to another flight phase means

Answer 5

APA, Power, Pitch, Trim

Question 6

Sequence systematic for approach preparation:

Answer 6

• Analyse weather, wind, runway, visibility and ceiling, type of apch
• 1. GPS/ 2. NAV update
• approach Briefing
• descent/approach check
• landing light on/ taxi light off

Question 7

Standard configuration sequence for Approach?

Answer 7

flaps APCH, gear down, initiate descent, missed approach altitude set, final check, next outer marker check
ATC report established

Question 8

Localizer established

Answer 8

set NAV 2 to ILS/LLZ

Question 9

PPAA

Answer 9

• Power: Check power setting to assure a safe flight path and speed.
• Performance: Check configuration (gear, flaps and mnm and target speed) and crosscheck Navigation, engage the autopilot if allowed to do so (OEI not allowed)
• Analyse: Analyse the situation and indications properly, start with the troubleshooting, take into consideration all warnings, cautions and check engine instruments carefully (what do we have, what are the consequences)
• Action: Start with drill or the abnormal-/emergency checklist. Reconfirm any manipulation of power levers, engine masters by crosschecking with the engine instruments.

Question 10

Detailed: Right after the call out ”NEXT STEP” follows the call out ”COM/NAV-update”:

Answer 10

• COM 1 active: recheck COM 1 preselect: next frq (most probable)
• COM 2 active: recheck COM 2 preselect: recheck
• NAV 1 active: actual leg ”F-C-I” NAV 1 preselect: next leg (1 step ahead)
• NAV 2 active: next leg ”F-C-I” NAV 2 preselect: 2 steps ahead

Only exception: during approach (initial approach and last HDG before turning onto the final approach track) it is opposite:
NAV 1 set for the final app Course (eg. ILS), NAV 2 set for the line up (eg. a VOR of the airport with the CRS 2 set to the inbound Radial or a defined radial for the line up).
RMI 1 is set to GPS for ILS/LLZ approaches, RMI 2 set to VOR or ADF
• ADF active: as required ”F-R-I” preselect: 1 step ahead
”R” stands for RMI (instead of CRS) -> recheck RMI-pointer on ”ADF” !!
• DME set normally to NAV1 or temporary to NAV2 or HOLD if required
• BRG set and recheck BRG for NAV 1 or 2 or ADF or GPS
• XPDR set/(re-)check

Question 11

Calculation of the intercept HDG by the “⅓-Rule”

Answer 11

Intercept angle = α / 3 , max 30°

> 90° always 30°

Question 12

OPERATIONAL CONSEQUENCES, REASSESSMENT

Answer 12

After completion of all abnormal and emergency checklist, perform a proper reassessment,
with aid of the FORD model
F –acts (what do we have, technical, position, weather etc.?)
O –ptions (what possibilities do we have)
R –ating (which is the best option?)
D –ecision (choose the best option and execute)l
