Q

Defintion of Icing Conditions

A

Icing conditions exist when the OAT (on ground or after takeoff) or the TAT (in flight) is at or below 10 °C and visible moisture in any form is present (such as clouds, fog with visibility of 1 sm (1 600 m) or less, rain, snow, sleet or ice crystals).
‐ Icing conditions also exist when the OAT on the ground and for takeoff is at or below 10 °C and operating on ramps, taxiways or runways where surface snow, standing water or slush may be ingested by the engines, or freeze on engines, nacelles or engine sensor probes.

118
Q

Defintion of Severe Ice Accretion

A

5mm or more

119
Q

Defintion of Thin Hoarfrost

A

thin hoarfrost is typically a white crystalline deposit which usually develops uniformly on exposed surfaces on cold and cloudless nights.
It is so thin that surface features (lines or markings) can be distinguished beneath it.

120
Q

Rain Repellent Usage?

A

The flight crew should only use the rain repellent in the case of moderate to heavy rain.

(Also it’s carinogenic)

3kt

126
Q

If a tire is deflated what is the maximum NWS angle?

127
Q

If tire damage is suspected, the flight crew must…

A

In addition, if tire damage is suspected, the flight crew must ask for an aircraft inspection prior to vacate the runway or taxi. If the ground crew suspects that a tire burst may damage the landing gear, maintenance action is due.

A

‐ North of 73 ° North, between 90 ° West and 120 ° West (magnetic polar region), and
‐ North of 82 ° North, and
‐ South of 60 ° South.
Flying at latitudes beyond these limits is prohibited

‐ North of 75 ° North, and
‐ South of 55 ° South.
Flying at latitudes beyond these limits is prohibited.

Q

A320/1
Minimum Oxygen Bottle Pressure to cover:
Normal (dilution) Emergency Descent: XX min
Normal (dilution) Cruise at FL100: XXX min
100% Oxygen protection against smoke at 8000ft: XXmin

A

Minimum Bottle Pressure to Cover:
‐ Preflight checks
‐ The use of oxygen, when only one flight crewmember is in the cockpit
‐ Unusable quantity (to ensure regulator operation with minimum pressure)
‐ Normal system leakage
‐ The most demanding case among the following:
* Protection after loss of cabin pressure, with mask regulator on NORMAL (diluted oxygen):
▪ During emergency descent for all flight crewmembers and observers for 13 min
▪ During cruise at FL 100 for two flight crewmembers for 107 min.
* Protection against smoke with 100 % oxygen for all flight crewmembers and observers during
15 min at 8 000 ft cabin altitude.

Note: The above times that are based on the use of a sealed mask may be shorter for
bearded crew (in terms of performance, pressure, or duration)

Q

GPS/Predictive GPWS Limitations

A

Aircraft navigation must not be based on the use of the terrain display .
The terrain display is intended to serve as a situation awareness tool only, and may not provide the accuracy on which to solely base terrain avoidance maneuvering.

The predictive GPWS  functions should be inhibited (TERR pushbutton to OFF, on the GPWS panel) when the aircraft position is less than 15 NM from the airfield:
‐ For operations from/to runways not incorporated in the predictive GPWS database.
‐ For specific approach or departure procedures, which have previously been identified by the operator as potentially causing expected or spurious terrain alerts.

Note: The decision to inhibit the predictive GPWS functions must not be based on flight crew judgement only.

139
Q

A320/1
ROW/ROPS (Runway Overrun Warning/Runway Overrun Protection System)

A

In the case of runways that are not validated for ROPS in the GPWS database, ROPS is inoperative.
It is the operator’s responsibility to inform the flight crews about the runways that are not validated for ROPS, along the scheduled route.

The ROPS may be inhibited (TERR pb set to OFF on GPWS panel) when the aircraft position is less than 15 NM from the airfield:
‐ For specific approach procedures which have previously been identified as potentially producing undue ROW alerts.
‐ If a NOTAM displaces the landing threshold (shortened LDA).
Operations where the FLD assessed during the descent preparation is greater than the LDA must not be conducted, unless specific authorization is obtained from the appropriate authority. For these runways, ROW alerts may be triggered if the ROPS is not inhibited ( on the GPWS panel, the TERR
pb is kept ON).

Q

A321NEO
ROW/ROPS (Runway Overrun Warning/Runway Overrun Protection System)

A

In the case of runways that are not validated for ROPS in the GPWS database, ROPS is inoperative.
It is the operator’s responsibility to inform the flight crews about the runways that are not validated for ROPS, along the scheduled route.

The ROPS function may be inhibited (ROW/ROP pb-sw set to OFF on SURV panel) for specific approach procedures which have previously been identified as potentially producing undue ROW alerts.
Operations where the FLD assessed during the descent preparation is greater than the LDA must not be conducted, unless specific authorization is obtained from the appropriate authority. For these runways, ROW alerts may be triggered if the ROPS is not inhibited (on the SURV panel, the ROW/ROP pb-sw is ON).
In the case of a failure that affects landing performance and/or the availability of the thrust reversers, ROPS does not prevent runway excursion.
If DRY runway condition is set for WET PFC/GROOVED runway, ROPS does not prevent runway excursion.
In any case, if ROPS alerts are triggered, the flight crew must immediately apply the ROPS procedures.
