Normal Procedures

Question 1

Batteries check

Answer 1

If not electrically supplied for more than 6 hrs:
Check above 25.5v (a charge of more than 50%)
If below:
20m charging cycle and turn off to recheck

For reset test:
10secs after on charge should be below 60A and decreasing

Question 2

IRS alignment requirmets

Answer 2

First flight of day
Crew change
GPS not available and Navaid coverage poor or flight time more than 3hrs
A fast alignment if position difference at or above 5nm

Question 3

Flight deck emergency equipment

Answer 3

Life jackets
Crash axe
PBE
Portable fire extinguisher
Smoke goggles
Oxygen masks
Flashlights
Escape ropes

Question 4

A321LR after start drain mast leak

Answer 4

Run at idle for 5mins and can dispatch if leak disappears within 5 mins

Question 5

After start pack valves delay

Answer 5

60secs after second engine at idle

Question 6

CEO Engine anti-ice fault after selecting on

Answer 6

Increase N2 by about 5%, when valves on, return to idle

Question 7

Wing anti-ice test cycle time

Answer 7

30secs

Question 8

Rudder trim tolerances

Answer 8

After rest on ground up to 0.3 L or R
In normal cruise between 1.0 R and 2.3 L (indications corresponding to +-1.5 actual rudder deflection)

Question 9

Engine mode selector on takeoff

Answer 9

Heavy rain or severe turbulence is expected after takeoff (NEO/CEO).
The runway has standing water (CEO).
Heavy rain is falling (CEO).

Continuous ignition is automatically selected, if the ENG 1 ANTI ICE pb and ENG 2 ANTI ICE pb are ON.

Question 10

Crosswind/Tailwind takeoff CEO

Answer 10

Crosswind above 20kts or tailwind:
Sidestick full forward
Increase thrust progressively to reach takeoff thrust by 40 kt ground speed

FADEC keep out zone between 60 % and 74 % due to fan flutter phenomenon. This can result in discontinuous EPR increase during thrust setting.

Question 11

Crosswind/Tailwind takeoff NEO

Answer 11

Crosswind above 20kts or tailwind:
Sidestick full forward
Increase thrust rapidly to about 70 % N1 then, above 15 kt ground speed then
progressively increase thrust to reach takeoff thrust by 40 kt ground speed

Question 12

Pack selection after packs off takeoff

Answer 12

Pack 1 on after CLB thrust reduction
Pack 2 after at least 10 seconds for pax comfort

Question 13

Glideslope capture from above

Answer 13

If above the glideslope:
APPR MODE …………………………………………………………. ARM / CHECK ARMED PF
LOC………………………………………………………………………………CHECK ENGAGED PF
FCU ALTITUDE……………………………………………….. SET ABOVE A/C ALTITUDE PF
V/S MODE…………………………………………………………………………………….SELECT PF
L2 ‐ Select V/S 1 500 ft/min initially. V/S in excess of 2 000 ft/min will result in the speed
increasing towards VFE
‐ When reaching VFE, the AP maintains VFE and reduces the V/S without mode reversion

Question 14

Autoland callouts

Answer 14

AT 350 ft RA
LAND mode…………………………………………………….. CHECK ENGAGED/ANNOUNCE PF
L2 If no LAND mode, autoland is not authorized.

AT 40 FT RA
FLARE ON FMA………………………………………………………………..CHECK/ANNOUNCE PM
L2 If the FMA does not display FLARE, perform a go-around, or a manual landing if visual references
are sufficient.

ROLL OUT ON FMA…………………………………………………………. CHECK/ANNOUNCE

Question 15

MCDU/chart discrepancies

Answer 15

‐ 0.1 degree of difference between the MCDU and the charted final vertical path is acceptable
‐ 1 degree of difference between the MCDU and the charted final lateral track is acceptable
‐ 3 degree of difference between the MCDU and the charted final lateral track is acceptable for
approach in overlay to a conventional radio NAVAID.

Question 16

After landing brake temperature

Answer 16

The temperature difference between two brakes of a gear is more than 150 °C, and the
temperature of one of these brakes is above or equal to 600 °C, or
* The temperature difference between two brakes of a gear is more than 150 °C, and the
temperature of one of these brakes is below or equal to 60 °C, or
* The difference between the average temperature of the left gear brakes and right brakes is
above or equal to 200 °C, or
* The temperature of one brake exceeds 900 °C. /800 A321
