Memory Items

Question 1

Windshear actions airborne

Answer 1

TOGA, keep AP on, follow SRS, pitch 17.5 degrees if no FD. Do not change configuration.

Question 2

Windshear ahead (RED) take off

Answer 2

Before take off - delay or change runway
Take off roll - reject
Airborne - as Windshear warning

Predictive windshear alerts inhibited above 100kts up to 50ft.

Question 3

Windshear ahead (RED) landing

Answer 3

Go around
Keep AP on

Note: AP disengages if AoA value goes above alpha prot.

Question 4

Windshear ahead (AMBER)

Answer 4

Delay/divert/choose more suitable runway/use weather radar

Take off - select TOGA thrust, closely monitor airspeed

Landing - config 3, managed speed, use AP.

Question 5

Windshear actions takeoff

Answer 5

If before V1 only reject if significant airspeed variations.

After V1 - TOGA, rotate, follow SRS or if no FD then 17.5 degrees, increase if necessary.

Question 6

Windshear detection provided by what? and in what conditions?

Answer 6

Flight augmentation computer
3s after lift off to 1300ft RA
1300ft RA to 50ft RA
At least config 1 selected

Question 7

Dual engine failure

Answer 7

2.5nm/1000ft
Loss of altitude 8000ft in hold/4000ft in orbit
Target OM at twice normal alt, flap 1

Question 8

Planned emergency crew calls

Answer 8

2000ft crew, landing positions

500ft brace, brace

Question 9

Rapid decompression PA

Answer 9

“Ladies and gentlemen, this is the Captain speaking. We have lost cabin pressure and are descending to a lower altitude. Put your oxygen masks on and obey the instructions of the cabin crew.”

Question 10

Engine failure in cruise actions and strategies?

Answer 10

FCTM - operating techniques
Thrust levers MCT
Disconnect autothrust 
Pull Speed according to strategy
Pull Heading (off airway? Towards alternate?)
Pull Alt for OP DES

Standard strategy
Speed .78/300kts for engine relight
Set REC MAX EO cruise alt from PROG page

Obstacle strategy
Speed green dot
Set drift down ceiling from MCDU PERF CRZ page

Once level and/or clear of obstacles find LRC performance from QRH or FCOM PERF, re-engage autothrust.

Question 11

Discontinued approach procedure

Answer 11

“Cancel approach”
Disarm any AP/FD mode (eg press APPR or LOC pushbutton)
Select lateral mode (heading or nav)
Select vertical mode (level off or adjust v/s)
Select speed

Question 12

OEB48

When should you turn off two ADRs?

Answer 12

Anytime, with speed above VLS, if aircraft goes through a continuous nose down pitch rate that cannot be stopped with side stick inputs.

If Alpha Max strip (red) completely hides Alpha prot strip (black/Amber) in stable wings level path.

If Alpha prot strip (black/amber) rapidly moves by more than 30kt during manoeuvres with AP on and speed brakes retracted.

Question 13

Flying an RNAV arrival what conditions require a go around?

Answer 13

XTK >0.3nm
VDEV >75ft

GPS PRIMARY LOST on BOTH ND’s (switch AP if just one)
NAV ACCURACY DOWNGRADE on BOTH FMGS (as above)
NAV FM/GPS POS DISAGREE on ECAM

Question 14

Flight parameter call outs?

Answer 14

Bank - angle greater than 7 degrees
Loc or Glide - for more than half dot deflection

In FINAL APP
Crosstrack - more than 0.1nm deviation
V-dev - more than 1/2 dot deflection

VOR
Course - more than 1/2 dot deflection

Question 15

What are the memory items?

Answer 15

EGPWS - “pull up toga”
Boxed actions of EMER DESCENT - “emergency descent”
Immediate actions of UNRELIABLE SPEED INDICATION/ADR CHECK
- “unreliable speed”
LOSS OF BRAKING
STALL RECOVERY - “stall, I have control”
STALL WARNING AT LIFT-OFF - “stall, toga 15 degrees”
TCAS - “tcas, I have control”
WINDSHEAR - “windshear, toga”
WINDSHEAR AHEAD

Also “Smoke/fumes emergency procedure”

FCOM PRO ABN 01

Question 16

Approximate pitch and power to fly level at FL100 in clean configuration?

Answer 16

4 degrees and 60%

Question 17

Approximate pitch and power to fly level Conf 1?

Answer 17

6.5 degrees and 60%
