OEG Revised Flashcards
For abnormal procedures during take-off, which checklist is read first: After Takeoff Checklist or the Abnormal Checklist?
ATO is completed first, and the abnormal checklist is completed second
What is the required response to an “AUTOLAND” warning light during CAT II/III approach?
An immediate missed approach is required, as caused by:
Excessive ILS deviation (1/4 dot loc, 1 dot GS)
The loss or disco of both APs
ILS transmitter failure
RAs differ > 15’
During single engine taxi, the # 2 engine must be started a minimum of how many minutes prior to take off and why?
Start the #2 engine at least 3 minutes prior to takeoff to allow for engine stabilization and to alleviate the risk of thermal shock to the engine. This also allows the CENTER FUEL TANK pumps to run for the 2 minutes required prior to takeoff to insure they are operating properly.
What indications do you get when performing an engine fire test with AC power?
(7)
CRC
Master Warning lights (2)
FIRE light on the ENG Panel
SQUIB light/DISCH lights (2)
Respective fire push-button light
ECAM “FIRE”
When is a DDA required?
- When conducting an approach with an MDA or MDH.
- Add 50’ to MDA
Indications for APU fire test with AC power
(5)
Master Warning lights
CRC
APU FIRE push button
SQUIB light/DISCH light
ECAM “APU FIRE” warning
Is it OK to leave the cockpit unattended when the parking brake is released?
No. A Frontier pilot or mechanic shall be at the duty station any time the parking brake is released, or at the discretion of maintenance when work is being performed.
Do Bat 1 & 2 need to be in “auto” for APU start?
Yes
Mechanical Backup
Pitch via manual trim wheel
Lateral via rudder pedals
Must have hydraulic power
TLs (FADECs are self powered)
Red MAN PITCH TRIM ONLY on PFD
An RNAV GPS approach has LPV as well as LNAV/VNAV and VNAV minimums. Which minimums can F9 use?
LNAV/VNAV and VNAV are authorized
LPV is NA
Any minimums with a climb gradient as part of the published missed are NA
Ground Speed Mini
Ground speed mini takes advantage of aircraft inertia when the wind conditions vary during the approach. It does so by providing the crew with an adequate indicated speed target. When the aircraft flies this speed target, the energy of the aircraft is maintained above a minimum level ensuring standard aerodynamic margins against a stall.
During the approach, the FMGs continuously compute the speed target using the wind experienced by the aircraft, in order to keep the ground speed at or above “Ground Speed Mini.”
Range is Vapp to Vfe-next-config.
This eliminates the need to compute gust factor into Vapp, as the aircraft automatically does this for you when using “Ground Speed Mini.”
FMGS computes present headwind, compares to entered tower reported wind, takes the difference, and adds it to approach speed to account for anticipated sheer on final.
When is an alternate required?
123 – (Domestic) +/- 1 hour, < 2000’ ceiling OR < 3sm
++ – (Flag) - < 2000’ ceiling/MDA+1500’ OR < 3sm/vis+2sm
Marginal Weather - within 100ft and the visibility is within 1/2SM of the minimums for the destination airport and the ceiling is within 100ft and the visibility is within 1/2SM of the derived alternate minimums for the first alternate. 2ALT required
Method 2 - If the aircraft weight is such that it cannot meet the terrain clearance requirements of Method 1 you can file Method 2 which requires the aircraft to maintain 2000ft above terrain within 5 miles of the centerline for that route segment being flown. Requires that, if an engine failure occurs at cruise altitude, the aircraft be able to divert to at least one suitable airport from a normal cruise altitude along that segment of the driftdown flight plan.
Offline Charter - If either the Departure airport or the Destination airport are not listed as a “R” regular airport in the AIP “Blue Pages” an alternate airport must be listed on the release.
International Flights - If the flight time will exceed 6.0 hours an alternate must be listed on the release due to the reliability limitation on the IRs of 6.2 hours. An alternate must also be listed for international flights if the destination airport is single runway.
Severe Icing - If severe icing conditions are forecast +/- 1 hour of ETA, a suitable alternate must be listed on the release.
Thunderstorms - If thunderstorms are forecast +/- 1 hour of arrival time dispatch will provide an alternate and 45 minutes of additional contingency fuel. If the alternate is not provided the crew will contact dispatch and discuss the probability of the TS or VCTS and determine a course of action that both feel comfortable with.
Takeoff Alternate - If the weather at the departure airport is below CAT I landing minimums a take off alternate is required
RNAV Only Approach - If the destination airport does not have any operational ground based approaches an alternate must be filed with a suitable non-RNAV approach
Supplemental Ops
3585 - Flight can be dispatched to destination or an alternate airport when the weather forecast for either or both airports use conditional words such as “BECMG” , “PROB” , “TEMPO” in the remarks section. If this is the case, two alternates must be listed on the dispatch release and the remarks section of the release must show that the flight is being dispatched under exemption 3585.
Destination airport, 1/2 the visibility required for the instrument approach to be used
1st Alternate, NLT 1/2 the DV cig & vis airport
2nd Alternate, at least DVs
Fuel Requirements for 3585
Fly to destination
Fly to and land at most distant the alternate, taking expected ATC routing into account
Fly for at 45’ normal cruising fuel consumption (CI 0)
How do you verify that your EPE does not exceed your RNP of 1.0?
NAV ACCUR HIGH denotes that the EPE does not exceed appropriate criteria for the procedure.
GPS PRIMARY displayed = NAV accuracy check not required.
When performing the brake check during taxi, the FO announces “pressure zero.” This indicates that green pressure has taken over yellow pressure. T or F
True. When the Green Hydraulic system is operating normally, the Yellow Hydraulic system and the Triple Brake indicator pressure should read 0, telling the pilots that the Green System is supplying the brakes.
Is A-Floor available in Alternate Law? What about Direct Law?
No. A-Floor is only available in Normal Law.
When is a full alignment of the ADIRS required?
GAG CCI
GPS NA and NAVAID coverage is poor on the expected route
Alaska flights
GPS NA and expected flight time exceeds 3 hours
Crew change: Wait at least five minutes after gate arrivalbefore switching turning off any of the ADIRs
Class II airspace
International flights
What temp and conditions must the engine ice be turned on, and in what phase of flight?
All ground/flight operations when in icing conditions (visible moisture and OAT/SAT at or below +10C to -40C), except climb and cruise below -40C.
Must be on during ground operations with visible moisture, or slush, standing water, ice, or snow present on taxiways and runways.
Must be turned on at all times when the aircraft is in a descent in icing conditions, even when below -40°C.
What is the proper terminology for the transition at 18,000’, climbing and descending?
Climbing
PF: “Pull standard, 18,000”
PM: “Standard pulled, altitude checked”
Descending
PF: “Push QNH, FL180”
PM: “QNH pushed, altitude checked”
In flight, when will the speed brakes automatically retract?
SEA FAT
SEC 1 and SEC 3 fault
Elevator L or R fault (in this case only 3 & 4 are inhibited)
Alpha Protection active
Flaps full
Alpha Floor active
Thrust levers > MCT
Weight and Balance (what ways can you get a valid W&B?)
- AWP
- Computer generated via LM or CLP
- Flight Crew Readback form via LM or CLP
(Use W&B worksheet - white copy to preplan/AWP, pink copy for final/AWP)
What should the settings be on RMP 3 (if installed)?
On
STBY NAV off
HF and AM off
What are the maneuvering speeds in the Airbus? Green dot, S, F for selected flap position?
Green Dot = L/Dmax (best glide performance, maneuvering speed, LRC)
S Speed = Minimum slat retract speed
F Speed = Minimum flap retract speed
What powers the AC ess bus and DC ess bus if both engine-driven gens are lost and the airspeed is above 100kts?
RAT extends automatically when both AC BUS 1 and AC BUS 2 are lost. This system supplies power to the AC ESS BUS and the DC ESS BUS through the ESS TR.
PFD1/EWD will initiall be powered
ND1/MCDU1 will be recovered when emer gen is powerd
140 kts – the RAT will begin to stall
125 kts – the RAT will stall, ND1/MCDU1 will be depowered
100 kts – DC BATT bus connects for APU starting
50 kts – AC ESS BUS sheds and all screens shut off (MAV)
When is an auto-land required?
< CAT I minimums
Policy: set up/brief an autoland if the reported RVR/visibility <= 1/2 mile or 2400 RVR, and all of the requirements for an autoland can be met (environmental, aircraft approach capability, ground equipment, etc.)
NOTE: If one of the autoland requirements cannot be met (e.g., strong crosswind), a non-autoland CAT I approach may be conducted down to our lowest authorized CAT I minimums, i.e., 1800 RVR or as published
