OMA Flashcards
What is the procedure for reporting a bird strike?
Inform ATC & Complete ASR, Contact MOC, Fill out birdstrike form and insert into tech log.
What is the regulatory authority of the commander?
The operator shall take all reasonable measures to ensure that all persons carried in the aircraft obey all lawful commands given by the commander for the purpose of securing the safety of the aircraft and of persons or property carried therein.
What are the regulatory responsibilities of the commander?
Be responsible for the safety of all crew members, passengers and cargo on board, as soon as the commander arrives on board the aircraft, until the commander leaves the aircraft at the end of the flight
Be responsible for the operation and safety of the aircraft from the moment the aeroplane is first ready to move for the purpose of taxiing prior to take-off, until the moment it finally comes to rest at the end of the flight and the engines are shut down.
Have authority to disembark any person, or any part of the cargo, that may represent a potential hazard to the safety of the aircraft or its occupants;
Not allow a person to be carried in the aircraft who appears to be under the influence of alcohol or drugs to the extent that the safety of the aircraft or its occupants is likely to be endangered;
Ensure that all passengers are briefed on the location of emergency exits and the location and use of relevant safety and emergency equipment;
Not permit any crew member to perform any activity during critical phases of flight, except duties required for the safe operation of the aircraft;
Ensure that the pre-flight inspection has been carried out;
What are the company responsilbilties of the commander
Flight deck door locked when engines are running
All passengers and crew seated for take off and landing
If deemed necessary, consideration is given to adding greater safety margins, including aerodrome-operating minima.
Uniform standards
Post flight debrief as required
Listening watch 121.5
Who can carry fire arms?
Domestic police protection officers on domestic flights in the UK, Germany, Italy and Spain
When do cabin security searches need to be carried out?
Tidy:
In the UK came from UK
In the EU and came from EU, UK or TLV
Search:
In the UK and came from outside UK
In the EU and came from outside UK and EU
All flights to TLV
Cold aircraft
Aircraft left outside critical area
Crew have reason to believe security compromised
What are the disruptive passenger classifications?
Level 1. Non compliance, irrational & disorderly.
Level 2. Physically disruptive in damage to aircraft. Physical assault of pax or crew.
Level 3. Life threatening behaviour incl any weapons and attempts to open aircraft exits.
Level 4. Attempted breach of flight deck door inc violence directed at the door.
Level 3 & 4. Do not open flight deck door.
Police called for level 2, 3 & 4
Explain all about bomb threats.
What do you do if a message is found on board?
Green. Non credible. No action required.
Amber. Doubtful credibility. consider options. On stand - consult duty manager. Not used in flight or taxiing.
Red. Credible and specific requiring immediate protective measures.
On stand - disembark - no slides.
Taxiing - taxi to quiet area and evacuate.
In flight - Divert
Warning message discovered in flight:
1. Confirm search carried out prior to departure
2. Contact ICC
3. Continue Green if unable to contact ICC unless further notes found.
4. Do not take action until assessed by ICC.
5. Preserve message - fingerprints etc.
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
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 relevant RVR less than minima
If, after passing 1000’ RVR decreases, approach may be continued.
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 non 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 (If you can avoid overflying)
Lateral:
30,000’ - 20nm
25,000’ - 15nm
20,000’ - 10nm
Terminal area - 3nm
What equipment is needed for RVSM?
-Two primary altimeters
-One autopilot with altitude hold
-One altitude alerting system
-Secondary surveillance radar transponder
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.
What certificates must be carried on board?
And which on EFB?

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.
