OMA Flashcards
Actions for ECAM on an autoland
Level 1 - Continue
Level 2 complete ECAM by 1000ft otherwise go/around
Level 3 – Land if you consider this to be the safest course of action (Go-Around is normal action.)
At what level is the FMGC alternate cruise level planned?
Predictions based on cruise at FL220 if airway distance <200nm
FL310 if airway distance >200nm
WX/Temp as entered, CI=0, a/c weight at destination.
At what speed/level is the cruise level calculated on the OFP?
According to the CI and wind/weight
Can a Pax carry musical instruments on the a/c?
Yes, seat must be purchased for item if unable to be placed in overhead locker. Centre of Mass = 30cm above top of seat cushion. One small extra item of hand luggage allowed.
Can we carry deportees? Can you deny them?
Yes, escorted to a/c, SCCM to retain documents, Capt to be informed. Commander may refuse.
Category A, B, C airports, where to find them in the books, what’s the definition.
Part A 8.1.2.5 – Aerodrome Categories
Category A – Non-complex can be treated as routine
Category B – Complexity requiring special briefing
(eg Audio Visual Brief or Airfield Brief in Airfield Briefing Supplement)
Category B Restricted – Complexity & threat levels requiring specified restrictions but not requiring an Bob B
aerodrome visit or special training.) Category C – Special crew qualification required (aerodrome visit or special training.)t. ?b. B
Define Code RED and AMBER bomb warnings and what would be our actions.
Bomb Threat
RED – Credible, specific threat requiring immediate action (Diversion / Disembarkation)
AMBER – On ground only, doubtful credibility, prudent to take precautionary measures (Search Cabin)
GREEN - Non credible – no action
OMA 10.7.2 contains advice as per when the threat is received e.g. on stand, taxi or airborne.
If a message discovered in flight, confirm cabin crew security check was completed.
Contact OCC for advice (if no contact, consider classifying as a green threat).
RED warning on stand: disembark all pax and crew with all hand baggage.
Give ‘security problem’ as reason. Avoid using slides if possible.
RED warning taxiing: advise airfield and pax of ‘security problem’. Request remote parking and immediate provision of steps. Advise of need to remove pax >200m upwind of a/c. Use slides if no stairs available (evac drill).
RED warning in flight: if climbing, level off and stop cabin climbing. Declare an emergency and divert immediately. Consult QRH. PA should indicate a threat to the airline not this flight, probably a hoax but must be taken seriously. Chance of a search is unlikely, since should be on ground within 15-20 mins.
Define FUEL and COMERCIAL alternates? + When will the commercial alt be planned as primary instead of the shorter fuel alt?
If a diversion is likely, load additional fuel to reach the commercial alternate
Likely if: CBs, close to minima, x-wind close to limits, FZRA/DZ & SN removal
Define the ‘approach ban’
The approach may not be continued below 1000ft aal if the reported RVR is below the applicable minimum.
After passing 1000ft, if RVR drops below the applicable minimum, the approach may be continued.
The approach may not be continued below 1000ft aal if the reported RVR is below the applicable minimum.
After passing 1000ft, if RVR drops below the applicable minimum, the approach may be continued.
PRECAUTIONARY LANDINGS
A precautionary landing is one where under normal circumstances there will be no requirement for the Cabin Crew to evacuate the passengers after landing.
EMERGENCY LANDING
Forced landing or Ditching. If pre-planned cabin crew can prepare pax & the cabin.
Different question on fuel policies: Caution, EMGCY phases –what to do when.
If ‘may’ land below Final Reserve – PAN call
If ‘will’ land below Final Reserve – MAYDAY call
FCOM. How many chapters and what’s in them?
How many lights do you see on CAT2 / 3 approach?
CAT II. 3 consecutive lights. 1 lateral element (Because you may be required to land manually.)
CAT IIIA. 3 consecutive lights
CAT IIIB (No DH). No visual ref required for CAT IIIB (NO DH) operations
How does the SRS work? (Both the 1 & 2 Engine Cases)
SRS – will engage if:
Takeoff case:
V2 entered
Slats extended
a/c been on ground for > 30secs
SRS maintains V2 + 10kts
If OEI maintains highest of V2 or current speed (max V2 + 15kts)
SRS limits pitch to +18º or +22.5ºif windshear
Go-around case: Maintains current speed or Vapp whichever is higher.
Limited to; VLS+25kts, or in OEI case VLS+15kts
Must have flap lever set to min Config 1 and TOGA selected on at least one thrust lever.
How is the fact that you have self-briefed for an airport recorded?
Commanders signature on the OFP
How many Cabin Crew are required to board?
One down i.e. 3 minimum but the SCCM has to be there – max 50 pax per crew member
Not during refueling where all 4 are needed. No reduction on 150 config A319 a/c
How much clearance within 5nm of track must be maintained from cruising altitude to an airport where a landing can be made with OEI?
2,000ft
How much vertical clearance is provided with a MORA when the obstacle is above 5000ft AMSL
2,000ft
