Does easyJet have dangerous good approval?
No. However, ICAO allows a limited number of items for pax and crew.
Exceptions: Airworthiness and operational items such as fire extinguishers, portable oxygen etc.
Do we have ETOPS approval?
No. We must remain within 1hr flying time of adequate aerodrome.
Max 60min one engine cruise:
A319 380nm
A320 / 321 400nm
Visual requirements for all approaches
CAT 1. Elements of approach lighting
LTS CAT 1. Same as Cat 2 Visuals
CAT 2. 3 consecutive lights and lateral element
OTS CAT 2 Same as Cat 2
CAT 3 WITH DH. 3 consecutive lights
CAT 3 NO DH. No lights
What is the relevant part of RVR for take off and landing?
Take off: RVR for acceleration to V1 followed by reject and deceleration to approx 60kts
Landing: RVR for landing down to speed of 60kts approx.
What is the approach ban?
1000’ AGL or FAF where DH is more than 1000’
Cannot continue past ban point if RVR less than minima
If, after passing 1000’ RVR decreases, approach may be continued.
What does landing assured mean?
A landing is assured if, in the judgement of the commander, it could be completed in the event of any forecast deterioration in the weather and plausible single failures of ground and/or airborne facilities.
e.g. CAT II/III to CAT I
Max No of approaches?
No more than two approaches may be flown when there has been a go-around due to weather unless there has been a significant improvement or state of emergency exists.
In exceptional circumstances a third approach may be flown when a go-around has been carried out for non weather related reasons providing that the commander is satisfied that landing is assured.
What is the approach policy?
Use the highest level of approach guidance available. It is permissible to carry out an approach using a lower level of guidance.
E.g practice no precision when ILS available.
What is the automation policy?
Use the highest level of automation appropriate to the phase of flight and airspace.
To do any manual flying with automatics out: Both pilots must have completed two duties as operating pilots in the preceding 14 days.
Wake turbulence approach separation minima
Final approach:
A380: 7nm
Heavy: 5nm
Upper Medium: 4nm
Landing behind 380 also 3 minutes
Wake turbulence departure separation minima
Same position. 380 - 3 min. Heavy 2 min
Intermediate position. 380 4 min. Heavy 3min
Medium. None required.
What separation should a thunderstorm have?
5000’ Vertical
Lateral:
30,000’ - 20nm
25,000’ - 15nm
20,000’ - 10nm
Explain the minimum fuel call
When a further change in clearance may result in landing below final reserve
When committed to land & cannot divert any more
When can you substitute a conventional nav aid with RNAV?
RNAV substitution ok when FMGC announces:
SID/EO SID - GPS PRIMARY / Nav Accuracy High
STAR / Transition above FAP or FAF - Nav Accuracy High
Missed approach - Nav Accuracy High
What is the daily check validity?
When can it be done?
48hr in addition to remaining part of the day if done late at night.
Done after last flight of day and after 1800UTC
e.g Daily done at 2245 on 17th. Validity commences 0001 18th, and expires 2359 19th.
Difference between a Level 1 and Level 2 defect in the tech log?
Level 1 - Airworthiness. e.g might affect landing capability. For example RA Inop
Level 2 - Non airworthiness. For example dirty carpets.

Regardless of all this, a commander can land if it is considered safer to do so than divert.
Define an isolate aerodrome
An aerodrome is isolated when alternate and final reserves g greater than 2hrs.
easyJet does not hold approval
Define a suitable aerodrome
The aerodrome is adequate for the operation and is weather permissible.
This means MET at or above operating minima and runway surface conditions indicate a safe landing can be made.
Aerodrome also equipped with necessary ancillary services such as ATC, lighting, comms, nav aids, emergency services etc.

None 10hrs before
Prior to this in moderation
