LVO Flashcards
What AUTOBRAKE mode should be used for CATII, CATIII approaches? (1)
- MED mode
LVTO - CM2 YAW BAR CALLOUTS (2)
- ‘STEER LEFT’
- ‘STEER RIGHT’
What is a Type A approach? (1)
- Instrument approach operation with an MDH or a DH at or above 250 ft
What is a Type B approach? (1)
- means an operation with a DH below 250 ft.
Type B instrument approach operations are categorised as: (3)
- Category I (CAT I)
- Category II (CAT II)
- Category III (CAT III)
Take-off Alternate landing minima (1)
- Wheather conditions must be at least at or above landing minima for Type B CAT I operations.
Category I (CAT I) minima: (2)
- DH not lower than 200 ft
- Visibility not less than 800 m or an RVR not less than 550 m
Category II (CAT II) minima: (2)
- DH lower than 200ft, not lower than 100 ft
- RVR not less than 300 m;
Category III (CAT III) FAIL PASSIVE minima: (2)
- DH lower than 100 ft and no less than 50ft
- RVR less than 300 m and no less than 175m
How can a localizer and glideslope RECEIVER failure be identified? (2)
- The PFD and ND (rose ILS mode) display red LOC and G/S flags
- LOC and G/S scales disappear from the PDF
How can a localizer and glideslope TRANSMITTER failure be identified? (3)
- The corresponding index is lost
- The LOC and G/S scales flash
- The corresponding FD bar flashes
The AUTOLAND warning light flashes if: (8)
- Difference between RAs if more than 15ft
- LOC deviation exceeds 1/4DOT with aircraft above 15ft RA
- GLIDE deviation exceeds 1DOT with aircraft above 100ft RA
- Loss of LOC signal above 15ft RA
- Loss of GLIDE signal above 100ft RA
- Dual AP failure
- Long flare
- Untimely flare condition
LVTO - TO alternate requirements: (3)
- minimums CAT I
- one hour single engine
- Two hours single engine IF aircraft was dispatched for ETOPS and crew is ETOPS qualified
LVTO - technique: (4)
- Captain is PF
- TOGA
- No rolling takeoff
- 50%N1 on brakes
Controlling RVR means… (1)
- …the reported values of one or more RVR reporting locations (TDZ, MID and END) are used to determine whether operating minima are or not met.
LIMITATIONS - Glide slope angle (1)
- Between -2.5° and -3.15°
LIMITATIONS - airport elevation (1)
- At or below 2500ft
LIMITATIONS - runway condition - Automatic ROLLOUT performance is approved on… (1)
- Dry and wet runways. Performance on CONTAMINATED runways was NOT demonstrated.
True or False: For LVTO operations with RVR below 400 m and CAT II / CAT III approach and landing operations, LVP must be in force.
- TRUE
Visual references for operations conducted with fail-passive flight control systems: (1)
- a segment of at least three consecutive lights
Visual references for operations conducted with fail-operational flight control systems (1)
- at least one centre line light
Below 1000ft (and down to AH when in CAT III DUAL) the what occurrence will force a go-around and a reassessment of the system capability: (2)
- amber caution (single chime)
- downgrade of capability (triple click)
In CAT III DUAL approaches, what causes a mandatory GO-AROUND below AH? (1)
- AUTOLAND LIGHT
Above 1000ft, downgrading from CAT III to CAT II is permitted only if: (4)
- ECAM (check-list) actions are completed;
- RVR is at least equal to CAT II minima;
- Briefing is amended to include CAT II procedure and DH;
- Decision to downgrade is completed above 1000ft AGL;
