Memory Items Flashcards
What are the memory items associated with the TAWS warning ‘PULL UP’? ″PULL UP″
– ″TERRAIN AHEAD PULL UP″
– ″OBSTACLE AHEAD PULL UP″
(A380) What are the memory items
associated with any of the “PULL UP’ TAWS Warnings?
Announce: “PULL UP - TOGA” and simultaneously:

What are the company stabilisation approach criteria?
An approach is considered stabilized when the following
parameters are met:
1. All briefings are complete.
2. The aircraft is on the vertical and lateral flight path.
3. Only small changes in heading/pitch are necessary to
maintain the flight path, whilst remaining within OM-B
limitations.
4. The indicated airspeed shall be within a range from
Vref/VLS up to target speed +10 kt (deviation is
permitted below 1,000 ft AAL down to 500 ft AAL only
when specifically instructed by ATC to maintain a specific
- The thrust setting is appropriate for the aircraft
configuration (deviation is permitted below 1,000 ft AAL
down to 500 ft AAL only when specifically instructed by
ATC to maintain a specific speed). - The aircraft is in the briefed landing configuration.
- Rate of descend is no greater than:
• 1,000 ft per minute for CAT C aircraft, or
• 1,200 ft per minute for CAT D aircraft. - All checklists have been completed.
- ILS approaches must be flown within 1 dot of glide slope
and localizer. - During non-precision approaches, the course deviation
must stay within ½ dot or 2.5° for VOR approaches and
5° for NDB approaches.
Momentary exceedance of these parameters is allowed provided
immediate corrective action is taken. A momentary excursion is
defined as a deviation lasting only a few seconds and where every
What are the limitations regarding taxi with a deflated or damaged tires?
No deflated nose
landing gear tire in the
case of towing with
tow barless towing.
Max speed is 3 kt.
Maxi NSW angle is 30
degrees.
Up to 9 tires can be
deflated, with the
following max per
landing gear:
- One tire deflated on
the nose LDG GR.
- Two tires deflated
per body landing
gear, provided they
are not on the same
axle.
- Two tires deflated
per wing landing
gear provided they
are not on the same
axle.
For runway vacating only,
the 2 deflated tires on the
body or wing can be on the
same axle.
For taxi, the two deflated
tires can be located on the
center axle of the body
What are the engine starter limitations for the 380?
Three (3) attempts of 5 min continuous with a 2 min
cool down between attempts.
When the starter accumulates 15 min of use, a 30min
cool down is required.
Note: tailwind >25kts may have adverse effect on start.
It may be necessary to reposition the airplane into the wind.
What are the pre-requisites for using
NAV mode in the terminal area?
NAV mode may be used in terminal area provided that:
NAV PRIMARY is
available, or (350)
GPS PRIMARY is
available, or (380)
HIGH accuracy is displayed and the appropriate
RNP is checked or entered on the MFD, or
Aircraft navigation is crosschecked with navaid raw
Is it authorized to fly a RNP APCH
without GPS PRIMARY?
No. FCOM/PRO/SPO/PBN requires at least 1 GPS
to start a RNP APCH. (New PBN chart naming for
RNAV(GNSS) approaches)
What are the mandatory precautions that
must be taken if performing an automatic
landing in CAT 1 or better weather
conditions (Practice LVP
Approach/Autoland)?
- Practice low visibility approaches and/or Autoland
are only permitted on runways certified for LVP,
with prior ATC coordination and assurance of
protection against signal disturbance. (OM-A
8.4.12). - The crew is aware that LOC or GS beam
fluctuations, independent of aircraft systems, may
occur and the PF is prepared to immediately
disconnect the AP and take appropriate action,
should unsatisfactory guidance occur. - At least CAT 2 (LAND 2) capability is displayed on
the FMA, and CAT 2/CAT 3 procedures are used. - Visual references are obtained at an altitude
appropriate to the performed CAT 1 approach

is not empty, ensure that
the fuel quantity in each
feed tank is more than 4000kgs

fuel consumption, with BOTH PACK ON
and GEN ON?
515 kg/h
On ground, what is the approximate APU
fuel consumption, with BOTH PACK ON

associated with a STALL
WARNING AT LIFT-OFF?
Announce: “STALL, TOGA 12.5°”

What are the maximum
allowable bank angles during
takeoff?
• Minor heading changes (up to 10 degrees bank) are not
considered to be a turn
• 15 degrees at/above 300 ft AGL
• 30 degrees at/above 500 ft AGL
- What are the maximum
permissible rates of
climb/descent?
During climb or descent, the maximum vertical speed shall not
exceed:
• 2,000 ft/min when within 2,000ft of the cleared flight
level/altitude.
• 1,500 ft/min when within 1,000ft of the cleared flight
level/altitude.
Higher rates are permissible during climb, cruise, descent, and
approach only when:
• Both PF and PM confirm the absence of traffic in the vicinity
that may compromise separation or result in a TCAS
TA/RA; or
• When explicitly requested by ATC.
Flight crew shall be particularly vigilant concerning the flight
guidance modes and aircraft performance when approaching the
cleared altitude/flight level (i.e., high altitude level change,
turbulence, etc.).
- Maximum vertical speeds
approaching Terrain/Obstacles
Below 10,000 ft AGL, at no time must rates of descent exceed the
following values:
• 5,000 ft/min down to an altitude 5,000 ft AGL
• 4,000 ft/min down to an altitude 4,000 ft AGL
• 3,000 ft/min down to an altitude 3,000 ft AGL
• 2,000 ft/min down to an altitude 2,000 ft AGL
