Q

ECAM/LOGBOOK CHECK:

A

RCL pb PRESS 3s
-This action recalls all the warnings that the flight crew cleared or cancelled during the last flight.

LOGBOOK CHECK.
-Check the logbook details. Also check against ECAM recall.

MEL/CDL ITEMS (as appropriate) CHECK DISPATCH CONDITIONS

  • Access MEL and CDL items via the Ops Library Browser.
  • As appropriate, check and activate MEL and CDL items. Th activated MEL and CDL items are sent to the performance applications.

AIRCRAFT ACCEPTANCE PERFORM
Aircraft acceptance can be performed later, but must be completed at the end of the cockpit preparation.

20
Q

PRELIMINARY PERFORMANCE DETERMINATION

Each flight crew member independently computes the preliminary performance data in accordance with the:

A

Technical condition of the aircraft and/or any other criteria that may impact the aircraft performance.

21
Q

PRELIMINARY PERFORMANCE DETERMINATION.

AIRFIELD DATA:

A

OBTAIN.

Obtain data needed for initialising the system, preparing the cockpit and for preliminary takeoff performance computation.
The airfield data should include: RUNWAY IN USE, ALTIMETER SETTING, and WEATHER DATA.

22
Q

OEB

A

CHECK

23
Q

BEFORE WALKAROUND:

ECAM PAGES:

A

On the DOOR SD page:
-OXY CHECK PRESSURE

If the OXY pressure is half boxed in amber: MIN FLT CREW OXY CHART CHECK PRESSURE.
Verify that the pressure is sufficient for the scheduled flight.

24
Q

ECAM PAGES:

HYD SD page:

A

RESERVOIR FLUID LEVEL CHECK WITHIN NORMAL RANGE.
The volume of hydraulic fluid in the reservoirs may change with OAT. As a result, the reservoir fluid level that appears on the HYD SD page may be outside of the normal range with no HYD RSVR LO AIR PR or HYD RSVR LO LVL warning.
If the fluid level is outside of the normal range, contact maintenance to determine if service is required.

25
Q

ECAM PAGES:

ENG SD page:

A

ENG OIL QUANTITY CHECK NORMAL.

Check that the oil quantity is at or above 11qt + estimated consumption (average estimate -0.3qt/h).

26
Q

F/CTL:

A

FLAPS CHECK POSITION

Check the upper ECAM display to confirm that the FLAPS position agrees with the handle position.

27
Q

SPEEDBRAKE Lever:

A

CHECK RETRACTED and DISARMED.

28
Q

If the flight control surface positions do not agree with the control handle positions:

A

Check with maintenance crew before applying hydraulic power.

29
Q

PARKING BRAKE:

ACCU PRESS indicator:

A

CHECK.

The ACCU PRESS indication must be in the green band. If required use the electric pump on yellow hydraulic system to recharge the brake accumulator.

30
Q

PARKING BRAKE:

PARKING BRAKE handle:

A

ON.

When one brake temperature is above 500 degrees C, avoid applying the parking brake, unless operationally necessary.

31
Q

PARKING BRAKE:

BRAKES PRESS indicator:

A

CHECK.

Check for normal indications.

Yellow and green hydraulic systems are pressurised from yellow electric pump.
Get ground crew clearance before using the electric pump.

32
Q

ALTERNATE BRAKING SYSTEM:

The purpose of this check is to verify, before the first flight of the day, the efficiency of the alternate braking system.

A

Y ELEC PUMP pb-sw CHECK OFF

CHOCKS CHECK IN PLACE

PARK BRK handle OFF

BRAKE PEDALS PRESS
Apply maximum pressure on both pedals.

BRAKE PRESSURE (on BRAKE press indicator) CHECK.
Pressure must build up without delay symmetrically on left and right sides for the same application simultaneously applied on left and right pedals. With full pedal deflection the pressure must be between 2000 and 2700 PSI.

BRAKE PEDALS RELEASE

PARK BRK handle ON.
The parking brake must be on during the exterior inspection to allow the flight crew to check brake wear indicators.

33
Q

EMERGENCY EQUIPMENT:

A

CHECK.

  • Life jackets stowed
  • Axe stowed
  • Smoke hoods or portable oxygen equipment and full face masks stowed and serviceable
  • Portable fire extinguisher lock wired and pressure in the green area
  • Smoke goggles stowed (smoke hoods)
  • Oxygen masks stowed
  • Flashlights stowed
  • Escape ropes stowed
34
Q

RAIN REPELLANT:

RAIN RPLNT indicators:

A

CHECK PRESSURE and QUANTITY.

Never use rain repellant to wash the windshield and never use it on a dry windshield.

35
Q

REAR AND OVERHEAD CIRCUIT BREAKER PANELS:

A

Check.

Check that all circuit breakers are set. Reset as necessary.

36
Q

A

CHECK ONBOARD and STOWED.

Check that three are onboard and stowed.

37
Q

SECURITY CHECK:

FLT DECK:

A

CHECK.

In all cases where flight spares or any other items have been placed onboard, they shall be cross checked against the appropriate documentation.
