Q

14| GENERAL

Are there any operational considerations with this deferral?

Reference MEL: 28-15-01C
Outer To Inner TK Transfer Valves - LH Wing N24

A
  • The dispatch condition results in an unusual distribution of the fuel quantity
  • The fuel in both outer tanks will transfer to the inner tanks even when the inner tanks are not empty.

ON GROUND
* After second engine start and prior to takeoff, check that the wing transfer valve is indicated open on the FUEL SD page.

* Once each flight day
* Prior to the first flight of the day

17
Q

17| GENERAL

Can an (R) action be completed by the crew?

Reference MEL: 28-15-01C
Outer To Inner TK Transfer Valves - LH Wing N24

A
  • For this deferral the crew can provide verification that the valve(s) are latched open,
  • However maintenance is required to latch the valve open after re-fueling.

23
Q

23| GENERAL

What is a mechanical irregularity? What must be done for any mechanical irregularity?

Reference GOM Chapter 9

A
  • A mechanical irregularity exists if an aircraft system, instrument, component or part is broken, damaged, inoperative, or not serving the purpose for which it was designed.
  • All mechanical irregularities must be entered into the M300 as a Discrepancy or a Successful Reset (Info Only).
    • The PIC is responsible to ensure all mechanical irregularities observed by the flight crew are entered into the M300.
    • The PIC is responsible to ensure all mechanical irregularities are reported to Maintenance Control (through Dispatch) prior to any subsequent takeoff.
24
Q

24| GENERAL

After making an entry in the M300, is it sufficient to contact local maintenance to report the write-up?

Reference GOM Chapter 9

A

NO
The PIC is responsible to ensure all mechanical irregularities are reported to Maintenance Control
(through Dispatch) prior to any subsequent takeoff. Contacting local or line maintenance DOES NOT satisfy this requirement.

25
Q

25| GENERAL

Where can the flight crew find Approved Reset Procedures?

Reference GOM Chapter 9

A

Aircraft specific approved reset procedures are contained in respective aircraft operating manuals and quick reference handbooks.

EQRH: ABN – [RESET] SYSTEM RESET § FCOM PRO-ABN-ABN-RESET

26
Q

26| GENERAL

If a flight crew performs a successful system reset per the QRH System Reset Table, what must be done?

Reference GOM Chapter 9

A
  • Unless otherwise required by an approved reset procedure, mechanical irregularities that are successfully reset to a normal operating condition via an approved reset procedure must be entered into the Successful Reset (Info Only) block of the M300.
  • Reset Successful (Info Only) block entries must contain the system or component reset, the procedure action used to affect the reset, and a statement indicating that the system or component was restored to a normal operating condition. For example, “F/CTL SEC 2 FAULT, Performed ECAM Actions, Reset Successful.”
  • Maintenance Control (via Dispatch) must be contacted for all Successful Reset (Info Only) block entries.
  • Maintenance Control will review the reset history of the system or component to determine whether Multiple Resets have occurred. Mechanical irregularities that require multiple resets must be entered as an M300 Discrepancy.
  • Successful Reset (Info Only) block entries do not require and will not have a corresponding Corrective Action block entry.
  • The following Reset Successful (Info Only) block information must also be completed: Type of Reset, Originator Employee Number
27
Q

27| GENERAL

If a mechanical irregularity reoccurs after a successful reset of the same component on the same flight segment or on the previous flight segment (including preflight), what must be done?

Reference GOM Chapter 9

A
  • The fault must be entered in the Discrepancy block of the M300.
  • A Discrepancy block entry requires an appropriate Corrective Action block entry prior to Takeoff.
28
Q

28| GENERAL

If an ECAM message appears (and is successfully reset) during transfer from ground power to APU power, is a M300 entry required?

Reference GOM Chapter 9

A

Unless otherwise required by an approved reset procedure, faults obviously associated with an electrical Power Transfer that can be successfully reset to a normal operating condition are not considered to be a Mechanical Irregularity.

NOTE: Power-Transfer Faults successfully reset on sequential flights are not considered Multiple Resets.

29
Q

29| GENERAL

If an ECAM message appears momentarily and then self-corrects, is a M300 entry required?

Reference GOM Chapter 9

A

Transient (momentary and self-correcting) faults are not considered Mechanical Irregularity unless the transient abnormality occurs often enough to prevent the system from serving the purpose for which it was designed or results in the flight crew performing a rejected takeoff.

NOTE: Transient Faults on sequential flights are not considered Multiple Resets
