Q

Before reaching 80 KT the PM makes the call “Thrust Set”. What is it that the PM is exactly looking for, which parameters / limits?

A

PM checks that the individual engines has reached the N1 rating limit. Limit = rating limit - 1% N1. Max split is 1%.

Q

1) Passing 1000’ above TDZE speed is Vapp+35. Callout?
2) Passing 1000’ above TDZE on an ILS approach planned config full landing the flaps are at config 3. Callout?
3) Passing 1000’ above TDZE the ROD is 1200’. Callout?

A

1) 1000 FT - not stable go around.
2) 1000 FT - not stable go around.
3) 1000 FT - unstable: Rate of descent.

Basically passing 1000FT above TDZE you need to achieve two things: Flaps in the landing configuration and speed < Vapp+30 KTS. Idea is that passing 1000FT you give PF the chance to do something about it by saying you are UNSTABLE.

Q

At the end of the parking checklist you find a note saying “Consider heavy rain”. Where can you find the procedure to be applied?

A

The procedure is called Ground Ops in heavy rain and can be found in FCOM Supplementary procedures. You leave this configuration until after take-off.

This procedure prevents rainwater from entering into the avionics ventilation system.

1) Extract OVRD
2) Packs 1 and 2 check ON

If there is no bleed air this arrangement can function for a limited amount of time based on the OAT.

Q

You are performing the Preliminary Cockpit Preparation (checklist). You do the BAT check they show 24 and 23V. How do you proceed?

A

The minimum BAT voltage is 25.5V. Maybe the aircraft had not been powered for some time depleting the batteries. A 20 min charging cycle is required. Time this 20 min cycle!

BAT 1 and 2 AUTO
EXT PWR ON

After this charging cycle check the BAT voltage again.

Q

Upon selecting the landing gear down you observe the brake pressure indicator (triple indicator) indicating + pressure. What is happening?

A

After the landing gear is down locked an alternate braking functionality test is carried out. If residual pressure remains there is a QRH procedure to be performed (Residual braking).

But if you want to prevent a GA. A good start would be –> Brake pedals apply several times.

Normal system works on green hydraulic system
Alternate system works on yellow hydraulic system + accumulator

27
Q

Where can you find information on how to perform a power push?

QRH - Supplementary Information. Powerpush

28
Q

As soon as thrust levers are set to idle. Ground speed must be above 72 kts.

29
Q

NWS is powered by the ……. hydraulic system.

A

Yellow. During an OETD with the yellow hydraulic pump off its possible to loose NWS ➡️ Aircraft should be brought to a stop in a straight line, using differential braking if required, the PARK BRK should be applied and ENG 2 started.

30
Q

Engine A/ICE ON ➡️ subtract 5 degrees

QNH Reduction ➡️ subtract 1 degree/ 2 hPA

31
Q

Crosswind take-off technique?

A

Set 50% N1 on both engines then rapidly increase thrust to about 70% N1 then progressively to reach take-off thrust at 40 kts ground speed, while maintaining stick full forward up to 80 kts. Release stick gradually to reach neutral at 100 kts.

32
Q

Why is it important that the FMA shows ALT CRZ instead of ALT during the cruise?

A

1) Soft ALT mode will only engage when ALT CRZ is displayed.

2) Predictions will not be computed correctly. In ALT predictions will be computed at the pre-planned flight level.

33
Q

PROG page ➡️ VOR/DME ident in the BRG/DIST TO field

35
Q

Where can you find information about which systems you require for RVSM?

A

FCOM PRO-SPO special operations

36
Q

How is VAPP calculated?

VAPP = VLS + 1/3 of the head wind component. The wind correction is limited to 5 KT minimum and 15 KT maximum.

Note: If some abnormality requires a speed increment for the approach, the increment must be added to VLS CONF FULL.

37
Q

EXPED DES / CLB what will it give you speed wise?

A

Target speed during descent = MACH 0.8 or 340 KT whichever is lower.

Target speed during CLB = green dot.

38
Q

During a rapid descent after stowing the speed brakes you see SPD BRAKES in Amber on the ECAM. Why?

When you use speed brakes above 315 / .75 retraction is slow, up to 25 seconds. You will see this message until retraction is complete.

39
Q

When would you use engine mode selector IGN/START (2)

41
Q

A

Special Aircrew and Aircraft Authorization Required

42
Q

You are flying to a destination with only a RNAV approach. What are the flight planning requirements?

A

An instrument approach procedure, not requiring GPS PRIMARY, must be available at destination alternate (and at required take-off alternate, and en route alternate) and at destination in case of no destination alternate planned.

43
Q

Triple click what could have happened (3)?

A

1) GPS Primary lost
2) (ILS) capability downgrade
3) Mode reversions

44
Q

Stable approach criteria (5)?

A
  • Aircraft in the landing configuration
  • Target final approach speed +10/-5 KT
  • ROD < than 1000 fpm for a 3 degree approach
  • Aircraft on correct lateral and vertical flight path
  • Bank angle less then 15 degrees

Transient deviations due to atmospheric conditions are acceptable if corrected in a timely manner.

45
Q

Stable approach criteria. By 1000’ above TDZE what is the minimum you are looking for …

A
  • Aircraft in landing configuration

- Speed < VAPP+30

46
Q

Stable approach criteria. By 500’ RA what are you looking for …

A
  • Stable approach criteria achieved and maintained

- Landing checklist completed

47
Q

When would you fly an early stabilized approach?

A
  • Approach via selected guidance
  • High glide path angle
  • Low altitude intermediate approach
48
Q

Discontinued approach technique?

A

If at or above the FCU altitude:

  • Announce “cancel approach”
  • press APPR or LOC
  • Select lateral mode (NAV or HDG mode)
  • Select vertical mode (level off or adjust V/S)
  • Select speed and adjust
49
Q

Speed brakes automatically retract when selecting FLAPS ….

A

FULL

50
Q

Approach ban explain?

A

The approach may not be continued beyond 1000’ if the reported RVR is below the published minima. After 1000’ if the RVR becomes lower than the minima, the approach may be continued.

51
Q

You are doing the glide slope intercept from above procedure. The speed increases to VFE what will happen next?

A

When reaching VFE, the AP maintains VFE and reduces the V/S without mode reversion.

52
Q

Flying an approach using FINAL APP why is it important to check the blue arrow on the ND over the final descent point?

A

Indicates that FINAL APP engagement conditions are met.

53
Q

Flying an approach using FINAL APP when will the AP automatically disengage?

A

At the MAP

54
Q

When would you fly an approach in TRK FPA?

A
  • The approach is not stored in the database
  • NAV accuracy LOW

Under normal circumstances, an early stabilized approach methodology should be used for approaches utilizing FPA guidance.

55
Q

Flying an approach using FPA you are 30’ high. What is the correction you need to make to recover the path within 1NM?

A

.3 degree

A change of 1.0 degree FPA will recover 100’/NM

56
Q

You forget to arm the spoilers during the approach, what will happen on touch down?

A

Ground spoilers extend at reverser thrust selection

57
Q

How many different procedures are there to break off an approach or landing and how would you fly them?

A

1) standard go-around
2) go-around from intermediate approach altitude (TOGA thrust not req)
3) discontinued approach (above FCU ALT)
4) balked landing procedure (TOGA 10)

58
Q

When are you committed to land or in other words when is the GA no longer available?

A

When REV thrust has been selected.

59
Q

You get a Air L(R) WING LEAK ECAM on the ground during hot weather conditions. Actions?

A

Consider the following:

1) Ensure the wing area is clear
2) Set the BLUE PUMP OVRD to ON (overhead maintenance panel)
3) Select FLAP 1 (only slat extend)
4) When slats extended - set the BLUE PUMP OVRD to OFF
5) Select the flap lever up - this prevents inadvertent flap extension if HYD power is applied before slats have been retracted.

60
Q

You are coming on stand and the accumulator shows low pressure (outside the green band) …

A

In case of low accumulator pressure, chocks are required before engine 1 shutdown.

61
Q

Procedure described in FCOM PRO-SUP-30

Extract to OVRD
Packs 1 and 2 check ON

With a temperature at or below 39 degrees Celsius there is no time limit.

After takeoff: Extract auto (flaps retracted)

62
Q

You are coming on stand with an inoperative APU …

Release the PARKING BRK handle, to restore braking with the pedals

64
Q
