Q

When should a commander not take off or continue to dest with respect to the wx condition ?

A
  • should not continu or take off unless the expected wx at dest or alternate are above/at planning minima
  • nor continue toward dest unless at ETA wx at dest or 1 alternate is above applicable minima

Q

Upon landing what wind information should be used to determine the wind limit ?

A

All references to tailwind limitations and maximum demonstrated crosswinds in Operations Manuals and FCOMs are referenced to the ATC reported wind.

Q

Does easyjet hold the approval to flight all NAT HLA route ?

A

NAT HLA Operations are approved on special routes only:

  • Blue Spruce Routes between Europe and Iceland
  • Tango Routes between Northern Europe and Spain/Canaries/Lisbon FIR

Refer to Lido eRM GEN Part RSI NAT RAR section 2.2.2.13.2.2 Routes within the NAT HLA

Q

What should be done prior to enter NAT HLA ?

A

A Time check shall be done. Flight Crew shall ensure that Aircraft main clock is set to GPS time if available.

A NAV accuracy check shall be done if not GPS Primary.

An RVSM Altimeter check.

A SELCAL check shall be done (if HF is to be used for primary communication).

As applicable an Oceanic Clearance shall be obtained and acknowledged prior to NAT HLA entry, on VHF if possible.

As long as the FMGS display :

SID/EOSID : GPS Primary/Nav accuracy High

STAR/MIssed approach : Nav accuracy High

Q

When can you not follow GPWS ?

A
  • Daylight
  • VMC condition
  • positive visual verification that no hasard exist
  • and possibility of nuisance has been brief

If triggered, any GPWS must be reported with an ASR

Q

What has precedence over a TCAS RA ?

A
  • Stall
  • Windshear
  • GPWS
17
Q

What is landing assured ?

A

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.

18
Q

When can you declare “minimum fuel” ?

A

when you are committed to land at the aerodrome and any changes to the clearance may result in landing with less than final reserve

19
Q

When do you declare mayday fuel ?

A

when the calculated usable fuel predicted to be available upon landing at the nearest aerodrome where a safe landing can be made is less than the planned final reserve fuel.

20
Q

How should you avoid thunderstorms ?

A
  • Avoid by at least 20NM upwind
  • In terminal area avoid by at least 3 NM
  • Do not overfly unless minimum 5000ft above the top
  • do not fly below envil
21
Q

What are the three major categories of aircrafts with respect to wake turbulence ?

A
  • Heavy
  • medium (easyjet)
  • light
22
Q

What are the wake turbulence separation minima for departure ?

A

same position :

Heavy leading : 2 min

A380 : 3min

Medium not necessary

Different position :

Heavy : 3min

A380 : 4min

Medium not necessary

23
Q

What are the wake turbulence separation for final approach ?

A

A380 ICAO 7NM, UK 7NM

Heavy ICAO 5NM, UK 5

Upper medium N/A, UK 4

Medium, not necessary but minimum radar separation is 3NM or 2,5 depending on radar

24
Q

What are the rules for controlled rest ?

A
  • One at a time
  • less than 45min
  • recovery 20min
  • should terminate at least 30min before top of descent
  • Fatigue report
25
Q

What are the two way to recognise crew incapacitation ?

A

No answer to two verbal com

1 verbal com and deviation from standard profile

26
Q

What are the restriction associated with the automation policy ?

A

Should use the highest level of automation

reduction should be done while considering the crew recency:

  • both crews have completed two easyjet flight duties in 14 days period
  • appropriate wx
