In the event that you get a flap drive when the flaps are extended to fly. The indicator will
expand. Will it expand with the 5 and 20 tick mark displayed or will it expand like that with
two of them?

A

It will expand like that with the two of them

Q

When will I see the 5 and 20?

A

In the alternate flap mode

68
Q

Do you know why we see the 5 and 20 in the alt flap mode?

69
Q

And the most you can get out of the alternate flap mode?

A

Mid range slats and flap 20

70
Q

With the flaps normal and the flaps are at flaps 5 they are coming out really slow. You
reach up there and put the c1 c2 from auto to on, what happened?

A

Only one will come on. The last one you selected on wont work

71
Q

Why is there an auto for HYD Pumps why don’t we have just an off and on? What’s the purpose?

A

Auto runs only when demand requires it or if you loose a primary engine pump

72
Q

So the flaps have 3 modes, they are?

A

Primary
Secondary
Alternate

A

Taxi braking deactivating

103
Q

What about 50kts?

A

Restriction if you haven’t hit the TOGA buttons

104
Q

What about 60kts?

A

Demand pumps will kick in

105
Q

What about 65kts?

A

Engine fail on the PFD

106
Q

What about 70kts?

A

TAC comes into effect
Crosstie

113
Q

50ft?

A

LNAV

114

Q

Do I have to push anything, or does it come on automatically?

A

Comes on automatically

117
Q

We are all cleaned up, we are going direct and now I tell you we want to go to here, how is
that displayed on the ND before I hit execute?

A

Dotted lines

118
Q

What colour?

A

White

119
Q

So I climb on up and I reach FL290. I will have speed, VNAV path will be my callout. Now the
FMA will say?

A

LNAV and VNAV path

120
Q

When I have VNAV path what will happen?

A

Captured cruise altitude
Maintain cruise altitude until top of descent

121
Q

Changes your thrust to?

A

Cruise

122
Q

That will in turn?

A

Pressurisation schedule

123
Q

We are at 290 and we start getting beat up bad with turbulence what do you do?

A

Consider speed, shouldn’t be above 280 or 0.82 whichever is lower

124
Q

What is the minimum speed?

A

15kts above manoeuvring

125
Q

So you release your mistaken and you get an engine failure indication, and you are still at
FL290 what are your memory items?

A

There is none

126
Q

Now you realise you just had a momentary rollback of the engine. If it was to fail how many
times would the EEC try to relight it?

A

Will keep trying until it runs or fuel control switch to cutoff

127
Q

Now you start to see that cabin start to climb, when will the supernumerary masks drop
automatically?

A

13,500ft

128
Q

What actually caused the RAT to come out automatically?

132
Q

The backup generator has kicked in and the RATS coming out with a failure of both transfer
buses what else is going on?

A

APU starts automatically

133
Q

Whats the airspeed limitation for the RAT

A

None

134
Q

RAT altitude Limit?

A

None

135
Q

How do I know the RATS doing its job now that its on?

A

The light on the RAT will give you green PRESS light

136
Q

The RATS primary purpose in life is?

A

Flight controls

137
Q

Now we are coming through FL250, out of all the chaos that’s going on you ask for flaps 1.
Will they come out?

A

Not above 20,000ft or 275kts

138
Q

We are going back to runway 25 and you realise you have to jettison fuel. The first thing the
QRH tells you to do is hit the arm switch. You select the arm switch what did that do?

A

Arms the 2 jettison pumps and sets ldg weight

139
Q

So I have fuel in the centre, do the centre pumps need to be on to jettison fuel?

A

Yes

140
Q

So the wing tanks have jettison pumps, when will they kick on since we don’t have a switch
for them?

A

Soon as the buttons are pressed to jettison

141
Q

Lets just say for argument sake it say 60,000lbs will be your remaining, what will that take us
down to?

142
Q

In the event the auto system doesn’t stop it at 60,000lbs how low will it go?

A

11,500lbs (total of)

143
Q

We are coming in and when I ask for gear down you inadvertently hit the alternate gear
extension instead of the handle what happens now?

A

The gear will fall but the doors will stay open

144
Q

If I go around can I raise the gear?

A

Yes

145
Q

Will the doors stay open?

A

The doors will close (with hydraulic)
