Q

Definition of RLD ?

A

Required Landing Distance
At dispatch
- Maximum manual braking initiated immediately after main gear touchdown
- Prompt selection of max reverse thrust, maintained to 70 kt, and idle thrust to full stop (when reverse thrust is taken into account)
- Antiskid system and all ground spoilers operative
- MEL/ CDL
- The regulatory dispatch factor.

Q

Definition of In flight Landing Distance (LD) and Factored Landing Distance (FLD)?

A
  • An airborne phase of 7 s from threshold to touchdown
    -In the case of manual braking: maximum manual braking initiated immediately after main gear touchdown
    -In the case of autobrake: normal system delays in braking activation
    -Antiskid system and all ground spoilers operative
    -Prompt selection of max reverse thrust, maintained to 70 kt, and idle thrust to full stop (when reverse thrust is taken into account).
    -MEL/CDL/ECAM

Factored is to take into account possible deviations of parameters and flying techniques.

Q

Dispatch landing distance computation on dry runways takes into account reversers. True or False ?

A

False

17
Q

Dispatch landing distance computation on wet runways takes into account reversers. True or False ?

A

False. Wet distance is dry distance x 1.15

18
Q

Dispatch landing distance computation on contaminated runways takes into account reversers. True or False ?

A

True. But landing weight on contaminated cannot exceed the landing weight on wet runway

19
Q

How is Vapp computed ?

A

Vapp = max ( VMCL+5kt, 1,23 VS1g + correction)

Correction, highest of :
- ATHR ON = 5 kt
- Wind = 1/3 headwind ( max 15kt)
- Icing : FULL= 5 kt, 3=10kt

20
Q

When you should compute again inflight landing performance computation according to FCTM ? (Manex A request to compute at every approach preparation).

A
  • Runway change (or diversion)
  • Intended use of autoland or autobrake
  • Intended use of reverse idle
  • Degradation of runway conditions
  • Inflight failure
21
Q

How do you compute inflight landing performance if you plan to use reverse idle only on a wet runway ?

A

(Airbus recommends max reverse on wet or contaminated runways.)

Check unfactored LD < LDA with:
- no reverse
- RWYCC2 ( medium to poor)

22
Q

What is the distance of 90° alignment on the runway taken into account by EFB for take off perf computations ?

A

~ 12 m (see FAQ on Ops Lib )

23
Q

What do you have to check if you do not want to use autobrake MED but that FLD with autobrake LO > LDA ?

A

1/ RWYCC 6 or 5
2 / LD autobrake LO < LDA
3 / FLD manual < LDA

24
Q

Why is there a margin between the CG operational envelope and the certified envelope ?

A

To take into account the real variations: pax weights, pax distribution, true loading location, gear and flaps retraction, crew movements…

25
Q

How much thrust reduction represents Tmax flex ?

A

-25%

26
Q

What is the recommended take off configuration in case of high altitude terrain or short runways ?

A

CONF 2 or 3, to reduce take off roll

27
Q

What is the ratio between max cruise range and LRC ?

A

LRC = 99% max range

28
Q

Definition of Vref ?

A

Vref = 1.23xVs1g conf full

29
Q

What is the minimum go around gradient in Fly Smart?

A

2,1% = minimum GA gradient (CS25) (air)
(2,5% = minimum GA gradient Air-Ops (ground))

30
Q

You may disregard FLD in emergency situations. True or False ?

A

True provided LD > LDA

31
Q

What is the recommended take off configuration on high altitude airports ? On badly paved runways ?

A

CONF 2 or 3

32
Q

What is the AEO take off climb gradient at CDG in standard conditions ?

A

10 %

33
Q

What kind of GA gradient is to be inserted in Fly Smart parameters ? Air or ground ?

A

Air gradient. This is why you should convert LIDO ground GA gradient into an air gradient before insertion in Fly Smart. (Pilot tools or FCOM table).

34
Q

What is the typical difference between air and ground GA gradient in case of tailwind ?

A

10kt Tw = -0,5% for standard gradients (2,5 - 4%)

35
Q

TO PERF application takes into account RWY CC for xwind limitations. True or False ?

A

False. It takes into account RWY COND. Thus if RWY CC is lower than expected (vs RWY COND), refer to FCOM xwind limitations. (source: PilotLib Operation, Informations techniques, GRF)

36
Q

How is the wind direction changing with altitude ?

A

Turning to the right. E.g 180° at TO, 230° during climb
