LVO

Question 1

Answer 1

When weather conditions fall below CAT 1 minima, 550m

Question 2

How is TAKE OFF defined as LVO?

Answer 6

Minimum RVR of 300m and 100ft DH

Question 7

What is approach ban?

Answer 7

When you have started the approach, the crew can fly to 1000ft AAL even if the required RVR falls below limit.

Question 8

What is ILS receiver failure?

Answer 8

If the aircraft receiver fails, the PFD will show a red warning flag, autopilot will disengage and the aircraft will revert to heading vertical speed.

Question 9

What is alert height?

Answer 9

Height above runway based on the characteristics of the aeroplane and it’s fail operational landing system above which a CAT III approach would be discountinued and missed approach initiated if a failure occurred in one of the redundant parts of the automatic landing system or relevant ground equipment system.

Question 10

What is the alert height on Airbus?

Answer 10

100ft

Question 11

What is the visual references on DH?

Answer 11

For CAT II and CAT IIIA: May not continue the approach if no visual references of not less than a three segment of the centerline of the approach lights or runway center lights or touchdown zone lights or runway edge lights are obtained.

Question 12

What if we get reducancy of the aircraft system below alert height?

Answer 12

The approach should be continued except if RED auto land is triggered.

Question 13

What is fail operational system?

Answer 13

If in the event of a failure below alert height, the approach, flare and landing can be completed by the remaining part of the automatic system.

Question 14

In the event of a automatic landing system failure, the aircraft will operate as?

Answer 14

In the event of failure the automatic landing system will operate as a fail passive system.

Question 15

What is fail passive system?

Answer 15

In case of failure, no significant out of trim condition or deviation of flight path or attitude but the landing is not completely automatically. The pilot assumes control of the aircraft after a failure.

Question 16

What is concept of minima?
1. Airfield operating minima
2. Operator authorized minima
3. Crew minima
4. Aircraft minima

Answer 16

1. Established in accordance with the airport authority and published on approach charts.
2. Lowest minima that an operator is allowed to use at a specified airfield following an approval from its operational authority.
3. Lowest minimum that the crew is authorized to operate depending on the crew qualification
4. Lowest minima which have been demonstrated during aircraft certification. Indicated on the aircraft flight manual.

Question 17

What do the crew need to check for each flight? 4 things.
Which value should they use?

Answer 17

1. Aircraft capability minima
2. The aerodrome operating minima
3. The operators minima
4. The crew minima.

They must use the highest value to determine the allowed operating minimum for their flight.

Question 18

ATC procedures

Answer 18

When RVR falls below 550m when RVR or ceiling falls below 800m = low visibility procedures are introduced.

Question 19

CAT I decision height, RVR, visibility

Answer 19

DH = minimum 200ft
RVR = minimum 550m
Ceiling = not less than 800m

Question 20

CAT II decision height, RVR, visibility

Answer 20

Decision height: Below 200ft but above 100ft.

RVR = not less than 300m

Question 21

CAT IIIA DH and RVR

Answer 21

DH: Lower then 100ft or no DH
RVR = not less than 200m

Question 22

CAT IIIB DH and RVR
Operator landing minima

Answer 22

DH = Lower than 50ft or no DH
RVR = Less than 200m but not less than 75m

75/75/75

Question 23

What does the PF do on 100ft ABOVE?
What does the CM2 do?
What does PF do on MINIMUM?

Answer 23

PF: Looks out for visual references.
CM2: Monitor the instruments and call any deviations or failures immediately.

PF must reply continue or go around flaps.

CM2 is head down and calls the FMA changes “Flare” and “Roll out”.

Question 24

What must the FMA display for CAT IIIB approach?
What is different on this approach?

What does the PF do on ONE HUNDRED?

Answer 24

CAT 3 DUAL and NO is to be entered in the DH field on the PERF page.

We don’t have 100 above and minimum calls because we don’t have DH.

Continue unless a failure or other things that leads to go around.

Question 25

What are the PM duties?

Answer 25

Monitoring flight instruments, head down through the approach until landing and roll out is completed. Calls for any deviation or warning. Monitoring FMA + callouts of the mode changes are required.

Question 26

Loss of visual reference, deviation etc. below DH?

Answer 26

Go around.

Question 27

What must be displayed on FMA at 350ft?

Answer 27

LAND

Question 28

What if the autoland red light illuminates below 200ft?

Answer 28

Both AP off Excessive deviation Localizer or glide slope transmitter fails RA discrepancy of at least 15ft is sensed.

Question 29

When does the flare come? When does the THR IDLE come?

Answer 29

Flare = 40 ft THR IDLE = below 30ft

Question 30

What happen if we have INOP System CAT 3 DUAL when we arm both the A/P?

Answer 30

We will get CAT 3 Single only on the FMA.

Question 31

When is CAT II and CAT III operations approved with engine out?

Answer 31

CAT II and CAT III Fail passive autoland are only approved IF IN configuration full and if the engine out procedures are completed before reaching 1000ft in approach.

Question 32

Can we autoland + auto rollout with CAT 3 Single?

Answer 32

Yes, but we can’t do a CAT III B with no DH.

Question 33

What must be displayed on FMA during CAT II approach?

Answer 33

CAT II/CAT III Single/CAT III DUAL

Question 34

What should be displayed on FMA for CAT IIIA? Is autoland mandatory?

Answer 34

CAT 3 Single/CAT 3 DUAL Autoland is mandatory

Question 35

What should be displayed on FMA on CAT IIIB? Is autoland mandatory?

Answer 35

CAT 3 DUAL. Autoland and roll out manadatory.

Question 36

Important during CAT IIIB approach regarding DH?

Answer 36

NO DH = no callouts like 100 above and minimum. PF announce continue on “100 ABOVE” call.

Question 37

CAT II approach, NO FLARE at 30ft? Autoland warning comes up below DH?

Answer 37

Disengage AP and complete manual landing. Disengage AP and manual landing if you have visual references.

Question 38

CAT III approaches, red auto land below DH

Answer 38

Go around must be performed unless you have visual references.

Question 39

Callouts to ATC?

Answer 39

WZZ102, request CAT II/III approach.

Question 40

Landing retard Reversers?

Answer 40

Do not retard the thrusts to idle unless you hear retard. Use the reversers.

Question 41

CAT II with manual landing

Answer 41

Latest 80ft RA = disconnect the AP. Landing and rollout are completed manually.

Question 42

A-Thrust malfunction = only which approach?

Answer 42

Only CAT II is possible. Announce continue and take over the thrust manually. If CAT III was briefed and prepared, a go around must be initiated.

Question 43

What happens when landing capability degrades?

Answer 43

Triple aural click. New landing capability appears in the FMA. If CAT II was briefed, and we have CAT 3 DUAL from the beginning. The approach can be continued if the system downgrades to CAT II.

Question 44

NO LAND 350ft RA = NO FLARE 40ft RA = NO ROLLOUT AT MAIN WHEEL TOUCHDOWN

Answer 44

= disconnect AP continue manually. = disconnect AP, flare manually.

Question 45

Callouts during TOF

Answer 45

Entering runway (when passing CAT 2/3 holding point) Rolling (before thrust set call) Airborne (minimum 500ft)

Question 46

Below 1000ft when to go around, CAT II

Answer 46

NO LAND MODE, Autoland Warning light, AP off, loss of CAT 2, Amber caution, Engine failure
