Memory Items

Question 1

After disarming the autobrake during the landing rollout by pressing on the brake pedals, you realise that the brakes are not functioning.
What call and actions do you need to perform as PF ?

Answer 1

You call “Loss of braking” and do the following steps in that order:

1. select Max REV
2. release the brakes
3. order the PM to select the A/SKID to OFF
4. once A/SKID is OFF, press on the brake pedals (on a/c with a classic braking system type, do no exceed 1000 psi)
5. if still no braking, use short successive parking brake applications to stop the aircraft

Reference: FCOM/Abnormal and Emergency Procedures/[MEM] Loss of braking

Question 2

Spurious stall warning may sound in NORMAL law, if an angle of attack probe is damaged.
During the initial climb, once the flaps are retracted, you experience a birdstrike. Airspeed indications remain normal but you receive a stall warning. What are your actions ?

Answer 2

Call: “TOGA 15”

• THRUST: set to TOGA

At the same time:
- PITCH ATTITUDE: set to 15 ° nose up.

• BANK: ensure or set WINGS LEVEL.

Note :
When a safe flight path and speed are achieved and maintained, if stall warning continues, consider it as spurious.

Reference: FCOM/Abnormal and Emergency Procedures/MISC/Stall Warning at Lift-Off

Question 3

If you receive a TCAS TA alert and TCAS blue does not engage, what will be your actions in case you receive a TCAS RA warning (PF actions) ?

Answer 3

1. Call “TCAS I have control”
2. Ask for “AP off” and “FD off” to the PM
3. Follow RA instructions on PFD. Adjust or maintain the pitch to reach the green area of the vertical speed scale.
4. Once clear of conflict, AP and FD can be reengaged.

Reference: FCOM/Abnormal and Emergency Procedures/SURV/[MEM] TCAS WARNINGS

Question 4

While being PF, you receive a stall warning during climb, with flaps up, at an altitude of 9000 feet. What procedure do you apply ?

Answer 4

• Call “STALL, I have Control”
• NOSE DOWN PITCH CONTROL : Apply
• BANK : Wings Level

When out of the stall conditions :

• THRUST : Increase smoothly as needed
• SPEEDBRAKES : Check RETRACTED
• FLIGHTPATH : Recover smoothly
• FLAPS 1: Select

Reference: FCOM/Abnormal and Emergency Procedures/MISC/[MEM] Stall Recovery

Question 5

In case of a Loss of cabin pressure, what is the first memory item that must be applied by both cockpit crew members ?

Answer 5

To don their Oxygen masks

Question 6

Who check the FMA during the EMER DESCENT procedure ?

Answer 6

Both pilots

Question 7

In case of unreliable airspeed indication after lift-off, once the memory items are completed, when can you level off to start troubleshooting ?

Answer 7

Once at or above MSA or Circuit altitude.

Question 8

If you receive a Reactive Windshear Warning after V1, as PF, what are you actions ?

Answer 8

1. THR LEVERS : Set to TOGA
2. Reaching VR : Rotate
3. SRS Orders : Follow

If necessary the flight crew may pull the sidestick fully back.
Note :
If the FD bars are not displayed, move toward an initial pitch attitude of 17.5 °. Then, if necessary, to prevent a loss in altitude, increase the pitch attitude.

Reference: FCOM/Abnormal and Emergency Procedures/SURV/[MEM]Windshear Warning-Reactive Windshear

Question 9

The OEB48 - Abnormal V Alpha Prot (only applicable to the A319 F-GPMF) require some memory actions to be performed. This OEB must be reviewed by the crew prior to operate on this aircraft.
Find next these actions and when to apply them.

Answer 9

AT ANY TIME, with a speed above VLS, if the aircraft goes to a CONTINUOUS NOSE DOWN PITCH RATE that cannot be stopped with backward sidestick inputs, IMMEDIATELY APPLY:

• ONE ADR………KEEP ON
• TWO ADRs…….OFF

Reference: QRH/OEBPROC - Operations Engineering Bulletins/48-Abnormal V Alpha Prot.

Question 10

In case of an EGPWS Caution such as “ TERRAIN TERRAIN” or “TOW LOW TERRAIN” or “TERRAIN AHEAD” or “OBSTACLE AHEAD”, in IMC or at night, what do you must do ?

Answer 10

You must treat it as a EGPWS Warning and complete the Terrain escape procedure.

Question 11

Is a go-around mandatory in case of “TOO LOW GEAR” or “TOO LOW FLAPS” ?

Answer 11

Yes, always.

Question 12

What must never be changed until clear of obstacle during an EGPWS Warning (all) or an EGPWS Caution (in IMC or at night) ?

Answer 12

DO NOT CHANGE CONFIGURATION (SLATS/FLAPS, GEAR) UNTIL CLEAR OF OBSTACLE.

Question 13

In case of EGPWS Warning, what pitch attitude must be reached ?

Answer 13

Pull to full backstick and maintain in that position.

Question 14

Once lined up on the runway for take-off in gusty wind conditions with some heavy showers of rain along with some CBs, the aircraft triggers a aural warning “WINDSHEAR AHEAD, WINDSHEAR AHEAD”. What must you do ?

Answer 14

Delay takeoff, or select the most favorable runway.

Question 15

During cruise, you receive a CAB PR EXCESS CAB ALT warning but this is not confirmed on the CAB PRESS SD page.
Should you start the Emergency descent procedure ?

Answer 15

Yes, you must always rely on the CAB PR EXCESS CAB ALT warning.

Question 16

During an Emergency descent, when do you need to press the SPD/MACH pb ?

Answer 16

If structural damage is suspected in order to avoid reaching MMO/VMO.

Question 17

During an emergency descent, what are the PF actions at ALT* ?

Answer 17

To retract the speedbrakes and manage the speed.

Question 18

Should you always complete the memory items in case of unreliable speed indication ?

Answer 18

No. The QRH stipulates that the memory items part of the procedure is to be completed if «the safe conduct of the flight is impacted».

Question 19

On a BUSS equipped aircraft, can you omit the memory items and press directly on the BUSS pb ?

Answer 19

No, you must always complete the memory items if the safe conduct of the flight impacted.

Question 20

While climbing out of 6000ft, with flaps up, you suspect an unreliable airspeed situation. What pitch/attitude should you set as PF ?

Answer 20

10 degrees and set the thrust levers to CLB if not previously done.
