Maneuvers Flashcards

1
Q

Simulator trick for crosswind takeoff/landing.

A

Use significantly more downward elevator while on runway than in the real aircraft. Slam it down in the touchdown zone for landing and apply max braking. All callouts and actions for these maneuvers have no procedural differences than any other takeoff or landing.

Q

CAT I approach callouts

(Highlights)

(Basic aircraft configuration omitted)

“PM” (PF)

A

“Course alive” (roger)

“Glide path alive” (roger)

“Final approach fix altitude checked”
(Set missed approach altitude)

22
Q

Differences between CAT 1 and CAT 2 callouts and actions

A

Everything is the same except:

  • CAT 2 CA only
  • At “approaching minimums” for CAT 2 CA is outside, FO is inside
  • Approach lights continue callout doesn’t apply to CAT 2
  • At minimums, PM calls “minimums missed approach” for CAT 1, for CAT 2 just call “Minimums”
23
Q

On a LOC approach, what do you set the altitude preselect at?

A

Set it to the MDA rounded up to the nearest 100’

24
Q

Do you arm APP for a LOC approach?

A

NO

25
Q

The LOC approach is flown using magenta. What is required during the approach regarding radio navigational aids?

A

Preview needles up and set to the LOC course

26
Q

On a LOC approach, is there a “Final approach fix altitude checked” callout?

A

No. At the FAF there is no callout for a LOC approach.

27
Q

When you are PF and flying a LOC approach, you see the runway and are in a position to land. What are the PF actions and callouts?

A
  • “Runway in sight, landing”
  • Autopilot off
  • “Clear the flight director”
  • “Set missed approach altitude”
28
Q

When you are PF and flying a LOC approach, you hit minimums and don’t see the runway. What are the actions and callouts?

A
  • WAIT before doing anything or saying anything until ASEL turns into ALT.
  • Then say “Set missed approach altitude”
  • THEN press TOGA and say “Missed approach flaps ____.”
  • Follow standard missed approach profile
29
Q

LOC approach PM callouts

A
  • Course Alive
  • Glide path alive
  • (No FAF callout)
  • 1,000 stabilized cleared to land
  • Either “runway in sight” and follow PF’s instructions.

Or

  • If runway not in sight at minimums, wait for ALT. Set missed approach altitude and say “__set, missed approach, flaps ___”
  • Positive rate
  • Gear up
  • Complete climb sequence
30
Q

V1 Cut PF procedures and callouts

A
  • At first sign of engine failure, “CHECK THRUST”
  • After “rotate” is called, do not rush to rotate. Once rudder input figured out, slowly rotate.
  • “Positive rate” “GEAR UP”
  • At 400’ “HEADING, AUTOPILOT ON”
  • At 1,000, fly the EFP and callouts individual flaps one at a time. “FLAPS 1…….FLAPS UP”
  • Once flaps up, AND speed has reached VFS, call “CONTINUOUS, BANK OFF, QRC___”
  • Climb at VFS until a safe altitude, then set an appropriate speed (210 knots manual speed provides good stability single engine).
31
Q

V1 Cut procedures and callouts PM

A
  • Announce and cancel warnings
  • Verify RSV thrust (if not push into MAX) and then say “THRUST CHECKED”
  • “ROTATE”
  • “POSITIVE RATE” (gear up)
  • “GEAR UP”
  • Engage HDG and AP when called for, then advise ATC after AP engaged
  • Sample ATC call “SKW5970 DECLARING AN EMERGENCY. ENGINE FAILURE. WILL BE TURNING TO 340°. STANDBY.”
  • Retract flaps as called for. When flaps hit 0, call “FLAPS UP”
  • Set continuous thrust and bank off when called for
  • Run QRC as called for
  • Advise ATC of need for delay vectors in the vicinity for an eventual return for landing.
32
Q

Basic profile of an entire V1 cut

A
  • V1 cut procedure
  • PF calls for QRC
  • CA assigns duties once flaps are up and flying speed VFS.
  • PF calls for after takeoff checklist after QRC is complete
  • If Fire went out, delay vectors, run QRH
    • If not, land right away
  • After QRH “2 in 2 out”
  • ABC’s
33
Q

What are the ABC’s?

A
ATIS
Built it
Bug it 
Brief it 
Checklists
34
Q

What is the 2 in 2 out?

A

2 in: NTSBO brief of the FA’s and PA to Passengers

2 out: ATC and Company

(You can kill 2 birds with one stone by asking ATC to advise SkyWest of situation)

35
Q

What is the NTSBO briefing?

A

A briefing to the FA’s:

(Nature of Emergency, Time, Signal, Brace, Other)

NATURE of Emergency 
How much TIME until landing 
SIGNAL used for evacuation 
If BRACE is necessary 
OTHER info, do you have questions
36
Q

When an unanticipated threat occurs, follow the TEAM method. What are the basic steps to the TEAM method?

A
  1. ) Fly the airplane.
  2. ) PF vs. PM (assigned by the captain).a. ) PF- Duties: fly the plane. May also take radios
    b. ) PM- Duties: Checklists, communicate, monitor, manage situation.

3.) Time?

   a. ) Yes- Create time, expand your team, 2 out 2 in. 
   b. ) No- Act, 2 in 2 out

4.) Debrief

37
Q

MEAN concept

A

Order of importance for running problems

  1. ) Memory items
  2. ) QRC
  3. ) QRH
  4. ) Normal Checklists
38
Q

Is a single engine approach any different procedurally than a regular 2 engine approach?

A

No differences. Callouts are all the same. The only difference is in the go around which will be covered on another flashcard.

39
Q

Single engine go around/missed approach procedure

A

PF calls “GO AROUND FLAPS 2” or “MISSED APPROACH FLAPS 2”

PM (FLAPS 2) …… (Positive rate)

PF “GEAR UP”

PM (gear up)

At 400 PF says “AUTOPILOT ON”

At acceleration altitude, PF will call each individual flap just like a V1 cut. “FLAPS 1” … “FLAPS UP”

At flaps zero and speed has reached speed VFS, PF will say “CONTINUOUS, AFTER TAKEOFF CHECKLIST”.

CA will then delegate duties.

40
Q

When a TCAS TA “TRAFFIC TRAFFIC” is alerted, what are the PF and PM actions?

A

PF:

  • Place hands on yoke and throttles
  • Visually scan for traffic

PM:

  • All exterior lights ON
  • Seatbelt sign on
  • Look at MFD and state relative position of intruder to the PF, assist in target acquisition.
41
Q

TCAS RA PF actions

A
  • AUTOPILOT- DISCONNECT
  • AUTOTHROTTLE- DISCONNECT
  • FLY TO GREEN ZONE
  • THRUST-AS REQUIRED

“CLEAR OF CONFLICT”

  • RETURN TO ORIGINAL FLIGHT PATH
  • ENGAGE AUTOPILOT AND AUTOTHROTTLE
42
Q

TCAS RA PM actions

A

(Lights and seatbelt sign should already be on from the TA)

  • MONITOR SPEED
  • SCAN FOR TRAFFIC
  • ADVISE ATC “SKW5920 CLIMBING TO RESPOND TO AN RA”
43
Q

A TCAS RA occurs and says “MONITOR VERTICAL SPEED”. What does this mean?

A

Do not change vertical speed. Usually means stay level where you are at.

44
Q

How to handle a bounced landing

A

After a significant bounce,

  • “GO AROUND”
  • Press TOGA
  • WAIT for airspeed to be greater than VREF
  • THEN Say “FLAPS 2”
  • Follow normal go around procedure
45
Q

EGPWS CFIT escape maneuver PF

A
  • AP disengage
  • MAX thrust pitch to 20° or PLI
  • Do not change configuration
  • Climb to MSA
  • Once clear of terrain, reduce to climb thrust, HDG, FLCH, AP, AT.
46
Q

EGPWS CFIT escape maneuver PM

A
  • Verify proper action taken by PF
  • Communicate with ATC
  • Turn on FSTN BELTS ON
  • Scan for terrain
  • Call our RA indications
  • Read MFD terrain indications to assist PF in best course of action and when obstacles cleared
47
Q

Rejected takeoff actions

A

CA says “REJECT, MY CONTROLS”

FO:

  • Verify reverse thrust
  • Cancel warnings
  • Say “80 KNOTS”
  • Advise ATC “SKW 5930 stopping on runway”

CA says “THIS IS YOUR CAPTAIN, REMAIN SEATED WITH YOUR SEAT BELTS FASTENED”

Asses situation

FO: Run QRC if called for

48
Q

Emergency evacuation procedures

A

CA says “ASSES AND WAIT FOR MY COMMAND” to FA’s.

Once decision to evacuate is made, CA calls for emergency evacuation QRC

FO actions:

Run QRC
Take flashlight and any other emergency equipment as needed, get out, and assist with evacuation from outside the plane.
Rally passengers on you at least 500’ upwind from plane.

49
Q

Before commencing a single engine approach, what is something you can do regarding a complicated missed approach procedure involving turns and holding (not ideal for single engine)

A

You can ask ATC for alternate missed approach instructions.

IE (runway heading or a simple heading and altitude.)
