note :

PAPI visual slope indications and FMS Baro VNAV path indications may not be aligned when OAT differs from ISA. When OAT is significantly above ISA, PAPI indications may indicate “4 whites” while following FMS vertical path. In this condition, the approach can be continued provided the FMS vertical guidance is followed.

A

At least 2NM before the final descent point

35
Q

Can you continue an RNP approach if one side has lost GPS Primary ?

A

Yes as long as you use the other side AP/FD where GPS Primary is still active

36
Q

For RNP approach, if degradation occurs and not visual, what situation requires you to discontinue the approach ?

A
  • GPS Primary lost on both NDs
  • XTK > 0.3NM
  • NAV FM/GPS POS Disagree on ECAM
  • NAV Accuracy downgrade on both FMGS
  • For LNAV/VNAV when deviation below vertical path of more than ¾ dot (75ft)
37
Q

Can you continue an RNP approach if too steep path is displayed after the final descent point ? What about an RNP AR ?

A

Yes you can continue but FINAL APP cannot be use, you need to use NAV FPA (with LNAV minima)

For RNP AR you can’t continue this approach, another approach must be selected

“PITCH”: If the pitch attitude becomes greater than 20° up or less than 10° up,

“SINK RATE”: If there is no climb rate.

58
Q

What are the restriction on airports with arrestor gear ?

A

TRAMPLING OF CABLES IN A RIGGED/UP STATE

General Information

The take off run should be started after any RIGGED/UP cable or from a point such that the speed is <40 kt as the aircraft crosses the cable.

During the take off roll there should be no operational concern for crossing a RIGGED/UP cable provided the aircraft does not exceed the 40 kt limitation at the point of crossing the cable.

Trampling a RIGGED/UP cable at greater than 40 kt is not recommended: In the event that a cable is trampled in excess of 40 kt, contact MOC for an inspection procedure.

In the case of a high speed abort and subsequent crossing of a departure end RIGGED/UP cable at speed, then a check is to be done of the undercarriage to confirm no damage: refer to MOC.

TRAMPLING OF CABLES IN A RIGGED/DOWN STATE

There are no restrictions on operations on runways where the cables are in the RIGGED/DOWN position.

Operational Caution Notes:

Check with the local Airport Authorities that they have not published any specific operating restrictions.

Landing beyond the cables reduces the possibility of damage.

If landing beyond the cables is not feasible, inspect the aircraft in order to check that there is no damage.

If the cable is raised taxi slowly, with a maximum transit speed of 40 kt.

For cable laid to the runway surface, there is no technical objection to cross the cable at a speed > 40 kt.

Do not cross the cables at maximum reverse thrust.

Take into account the above recommendations for the performance computation.

Carefully monitor the tyre pressure of your aircraft to avoid rolling over the cables with less that recommended tyre pressure.

Inspect the landing gear to detect any damage caused by the arresting device in the case of trampling a RIGGED/UP cable >40 kt.

59
Q

What is the TREF and when is it used ?

A

TREF is the flat rating temperature, meaning the lowest temp you can use as flex for takeoff.

It is used for takeoff as the TFLEX has to be above the TREF

FCOM EFB TOF 20 20 20

A319 = ISA+30

A320 = ISA +29

A321 = ISA +15

60
Q

Shear pin failure, when does the nose gear need to be inspected ?

A

Shear Pin Failure

In the event of a shear pin failure during pushback:

  • if push stop immediately after failure then no inspection is required
  • nose gear must be inspected when there is separation and overrun of the towbar by A/C, Push-turn operations, when the towbar arm touches the tractor after a failure of the turning towbar shear pin only.
61
Q

What are the limitations associated with steeper angle approach with respect to landing technique and type of approach ?

A

Steeper is when angle more than 3,5° and 4,5°

No autoland

No CAT III/II

Decelerated approach can be done up to 3,5°, if greater then fully stabilised approach is required

OMB 2.4.26

62
Q

What is part of the SOP on the aircraft acceptance ?

A
  • Press RCL more than 3s to see cleared or canceled ECAM
  • ECAM pages (OXY, HYD, ENG (oil))
  • Tech log
  • Aircraft configuration summary
  • OEB
63
Q

When is it not required to do the computation of the RLDW ?

A

The computation of DISPATCH LDG PERFORMANCE is not required if the flight crew can ensure that RLDW is limited by maximum structural landing weight, this is only applicable when DRY or WET runway surface conditions are expected.

64
Q

When is a go around considered as a balked landing ? and who can initiate this ?

A

It is flown by the commander

It is a go around initiated near the ground (during landing from flare until thrust reverser selection)

65
Q

On landing when are you required to use rev MAX ?

A

if any of the following occurs at any time during landing:

  • An emergency
  • Deceleration not as expected
  • Failure affecting landing perf
  • Long flare or long touchdown
  • Unexpected tailwind

OMB 2.3.19.1
