OPERATING PROCEDURES Flashcards
What is an APV approach?
An approach with vertical guidance
These approaches includes:
- RNP APCH to LNAV/VNAV minima
- RNP AR APCH
What does “CDFA” stand for?
Continuous Descent Final Approach to approximately 50 ft above the landing threshold
What is the “Stabilized speed” criteria before landing?
Vref + 10 kts or -5 kts
What is the stabilization height for:
- Instrument Approach
- Visual Approach?
Instrument Approach = 1000ft
Visual Approach = 500ft
What is the stabilization criteria for:
- ILS
- LOC/VOR
- NDB
- RNP
ILS = Within 1 dot LOC and GS
LOC/VOR = 1 dot laterally
NDB = 5 degrees
RNP = X track 0,3 nm, VDEV
75ft(3/4 dot)
What is the maximum tailwind for takeoff and landing?
10 kts
What is the minimum runway width
45m
Do we have to add 50 ft to MDA on a Circling Approach?
No
What are the maximum descent rates between:
2001-3000 ft
1001-2000 ft
0-1000 ft?
2001-3000 ft = 3000 fpm
1001-2000 ft = 1500 fpm
0-1000 ft = 1000 fpm
What is the absolute max speed below 5000 ft that we can accept, regardless of ATC clearance?
250 kts
Can we accept high speed below MSA?
No
Can we set park brake on runway when lined up?
No
What is the maximum altitude difference between the two PFD:s during preflight?
20 ft
What is the maximum altitude difference between the ISIS and the PFD during preflight?
100 ft
When is a complete IRS alignment required?
- Before the 1st flight of the day
- When there is a crew change
- When departure AD is located between 2 deg S
and 2 deg N
What is the maximum altitude with flaps extended?
20000 ft
What is the maximum speed allowed by HKE?
320 kts / M.79
What factors would make you not consider One Engine Taxi on arrival?
- Uphill taxiways
- Slippery taxiways
- High gross weight
- When crossing an active runway
What is the maximum speed for the A320 according to the manual?
M 0.82 / 350 kts
What is the Circling Minima for Aircraft Category C and D?
C = 600ft / 3700m
D = 700 ft / 4600m
Can we set the Park BRK on the runway once we have lined up?
No
In what cases can’t we use FLEX takeoff?
- Windshear is reported
- Severe Turbulence is reported
- Runway is contaminated
- Brake Action is Medium or less
- A LVTO is to be performed
Do we have to press the LS pb when lined up on a runway equipped with an ILS?
Yes, and check that ILS course and heading agrees within 5 degrees
What is the maximum change of track below 400 ft?
15 deg
What do we have to do with regards the 250kts/10000ft restriction if Airport elevation is above 1000 ft?
Change the restriction in the MCDU
Elevation 5400 should be set as 250kts/15400ft
What is the stabilization height on an Instrument Approach and a Visual Approach?
Instrument Approach = 1000 ft
Visual Approach = 500 ft
What is the Horizontal stabilization criteria for an ILS/LOC/VOR approach?
ILS = 1 dot
LOC = 1 dot
VOR = 5 degrees
When diverting your track around big clouds, over what distance of diversion do we have to get approval from the company?
Over 100 nm off track
Below what N1 value can we turn off the beacon during engine shutdown
Below 5% N1
When should the “Securing the Engine Procedure” be used?
Last flight of the day and when transit time is more than 90 min
On a Circling Approach, do we have to add 50 ft to the published MDA?
No
What is the RVR required for a visual approach?
800 m or the lowest non-precision IAP RVR for the runway of intended landing
When do we do the “Securing The Aircraft” procedure?
If transit time is more than 90 min or it is the last flight of the day
Shall only be done after all passengers have left the aircraft
Why should we not turn off the batteries while the APU is shutting down when securing the aircraft?
Fire extinguishing will not be available
What are general speeds for Vy?
250/275/M,76
Above what altitude on departure can we accept high speed?
Above MSA
Above what altitude on arrival can we accept high speed?
Above MSA or 5000 ft
What tropopause altitude should be used in the MCDU?
The tropopause at TOC
If your PDC clears you to FL 240 but there is a 8000 ft or below restriction on the SID, what do we set in the FCU?
Set 8000
How far can we deviate from our route before we have to contact FOCC?
100 nm
