Memory items & associated systems Flashcards
What are the memory actions of LOSS OF BRAKING ?
When flight crew do not perceive deceleration when required
“Loss of braking”
Reverse = > Max
Release brake pedals
“Anti skid nose wheel steering off”
Brakes pedals = > Press
ABCU automatically limits pressure to 1000 psi
If still no braking:
Park brake => Use
What are the memory actions of EMER DESCENT ?
When confirmation that cabin altitude & rate of climb are excessive and uncontrollable
Must rely on CAB PR EXCESS CAB ALT
“Emergency descent”
Masks on
Establish communication
PM:
Signs => On
PF:
ALT => Turn Pull
HDG => Turn Pull
SPD => Pull
FMA => Announce (PM: Check FMA)
If A/THR not active - Thrust levers => Idle
Speed brake => Full
Follow up with QRH
- Only increase speed if no structural damage
- If obvious cabin alt will exceed 14,000’, can press it early
- “Attention Crew at stations” when possible
When level:
- Reset mask mic by closing left hand door AND resetting slide controller
- “Senior cabin crew member to the flight deck” - get pax sitrep and do NITS
What are the memory actions of STALL RECOVERY ?
First sign of the stall - aural warning or buffet
“Stall, I have control”
Reduce angle of attack
Simultaneously level wings
When stall indications stop:
Thrust = > Increase smoothly
Speedbrakes = > Check retracted
When sufficient energy:
Flight Path = > Recover smoothly
If clean and below 20000ft :
Flaps 1 => Select
What are the memory actions of STALL AT LIFT OFF ?
“Stall TOGA 15”
Thrust = > TOGA
Pitch attitude => 15°
Bank => Wings level
If stall warning continues after safe flight path & speed achieved, consider spurious
What are the memory actions of UNRELIABLE SPEED ?
If the safe conduct of the flight is impacted
“Unreliable speed”
AP => OFF
A/THR => OFF
FD => OFF
Below thrust red alt => 15°/TOGA
Above thrust red alt but below FL100 => 10°/CLB
Above thrust red alt and above FL100 => 5°/CLB
If CONF FULL select CONF3 otherwise maintain current CONF
Speedbrakes => Check retracted
L/G => UP
At or above MSA/Circuit Alt => Level off for troubleshooting
What are the memory actions of GPWS/EGPWS CAUTION?
(terrain terrain, too low terrain, caution terrain or caution obstacle)
During Night/IMC:
“Pull up TOGA”
AP=> OFF
Pitch => Full backstick
Thrust levers => TOGA
Speedbrakes => Check retracted
Bank => Wings level or adjust
Do not change A/C config until clear of obstacle
During daylight and VMC with terrain in sight:
Flight Path => Adjust to silence alert
What are the memory actions of GPWS/EGPWS CAUTION?
(SINK RATE/GLIDE SLOPE/DONT SINK)
Above 1000ft IMC OR above 500ft VMC:
Flight path => Adjust
Below 1000ft IMC or below 500ft VMC:
Go around => Consider
What are the memory actions of GPWS/EGPWS CAUTION (Too low Gear, Too low Flaps) ?
Go around => Perform
What are the memory actions of GPWS/EGPWS WARNING (Pull Up, Terrain ahead Pull up, Avoid terrain) ?
“PULL UP TOGA”
AP => OFF
PITCH => Full backstick
THRUST LEVERS => TOGA
Speedbrakes => Check retracted
BANK => Wings level or adjust
DO NOT CHANGE config until clear of obstacle
What are the memory actions of TCAS WARNINGS ?
Without AP TCAS:
TA:
“TCAS I HAVE CONTROL”
RA:
AP => OFF
FD => OFF (call A/THR Speed)
Pitch to the green
With AP TCAS:
TA:
“TCAS Blue”
If A/THR off - A/THR => On
RA:
If AP off - Follow FD orders, can engage AP
Vertical speed => Monitor
If V/S doesn’t reach green - AP => disconnect
Do not try to see the traffic
Always respect stall, GPWS & windshear
What are the memory actions of WINDSHEAR ?
Both airborne and also at take off
Take off:
Before V1 with significant airspeed variations:
Reject
After V1:
Thrust lever => TOGA
At VR => Rotate
SRS Order => Follow
Airborne, climb and landing:
Thrust lever => TOGA
AP => Keep on
SRS => Follow SRS
PM commentate on performance
DO NOT change config until out of windshear
If no FD, pitch to 17.5°
For approach in W/S conditions, use CONF3 if possible - better G/A climb gradient
What are the actions following an engine failure during cruise?
MASHO
All thrust to MCT
A/THR => Disconnect
Speed => Pull (0.78/300kt OR Green Dot)
HDG => Pull
Open Descent => Pull
ECAM => Do!
Standard Strategy - Recommended max EO cruise alt (MAX EO on PROG page) {PROB do this}
When Vs less than 500 ft/min set VS-500ft/min and pull
A/THR on
Drift Down Strategy - Drift down ceiling (MAX EO on PERF CRZ page)
When clear of obstacles, revert to Standard Strategy
If level, after setting MCT, there’s a thrust margin, then don’t need to do above actions as will be below Single Engine Ceiling - no need to descend
After sorted engine fail and want to divert in Open Descent, remember to put A/THR back in!
When do you apply Unreliable Speed procedure?
- ADR CHECK PROC on ECAM
- Flight crew detect weird behaviour without ECAM related to pitot static instruments, AP or A/THR, stall warning, overspeed
Reactive windshear.
Which computer calculates it?
When does it activate?
Calculated by FAC
Activates when energy below a threshold
When is Reactive and Predictive windshear available?
Reactive
3 sec after lift off → 1300’
1300’ → 50’
Predictive
Below 1800’/2300’ (New/Old MSN)
