Procedural III

Question 1

SKW Minimum holding speeds?

Answer 1

6000ft and Below: 200 or green dot whichever is higher
>6001ft: 210 or green dot whichever is higher

Question 2

What are some techniques to help in turbulence?

Answer 2

Maintain S&L attitude and use Vb speeds don’t chase altitude or attitude

Question 3

Define Vref

Answer 3

VRef - normal speed over threshold

Question 4

Define Vapp

Answer 4

Vapp - target speed in landing configuration

Question 5

Define Vac

Answer 5

Vac - approach climb, engine out on go around

Question 6

Define Vfs

Answer 6

Vfs - final segment , engine out on go around

Question 7

When is a landing performance assessment required?

Answer 7

Conditions at the destination are different from those planned (

The flight deck crew needs to know the absolute performance capability of the airplane in emergencies or abnormal and irregular configurations of the airplane such as an engine failure or flight control malfunctions.

Question 8

How do you calculate a landing performance assessment.

Answer 8

There are four ways to get landing distance. It depends on several factors.

1) ACARS Landing Performance
2) TLR. This is not provided on the release by default. It must be requested from the dispatcher
3) Use QRH when ACARS is deferred and if airport conditions do not allow TLR or when proceeding to an unplanned airport
4) QRH Unfactored Landing Distance

Question 9

Calculate VAP for various wind directions and speeds

Answer 9

VAP = VREF + ½ steady state headwind + Gust Increment

Question 10

differences in required wind additives for Without Stall Protection Ice Speeds (SPIS)

Answer 10

Min Vapp has to be at least between +5 min and +20 max

Question 11

differences in required wind additives for With SPIS ( Stall Protection, Ice, Speed)

Answer 11

Min Vapp has to be at least between +0 min and +20 max

Question 12

differences in required wind additives for Using Vref New

Answer 12

Min Vapp has to be at least between +0 and +20 (QRH)

Question 13

Recite Stabilized Approach Criteria 1,500 ft 1,000 ft 500 ft

Answer 13

1,500ft or Final Approach Fix (whichever occurs later)- Gear, Flaps 3, <180 KIAS
▪ 1,000ft- On Vertical/Lateral profile, Landing Config, Before Landing Checklist done, +15/-5 of Vapp
▪ 500ft- airspeed needs to be in the speed bug, thrust above IDLE (except for momentary speed/descent deviations)

Question 14

What factors could cause a tail strike on T/O? Landing?

Answer 14

Improper Stabilizer Trim
Improper Rotation
Excessive Rotation Rate
Landing flaring below Vref

Question 15

At what speed should the reverse thrust be set back to MIN REV? FWD Idle thrust?

Answer 15

80knots/30knots

Question 16

Bounced Landing Protection Logic?

Answer 16

Ground signal is kept for 5 seconds after bounced landing. If TLAs are in idle within those 5 seconds, the ground spoilers will deploy regardless of altitude or actual weight on wheels

Question 17

What precautions should be taken when shutting down an engine on a taxi after landing?

Answer 17

Thrust lever needs to be at idle for at least 2 minutes before shutdown for thermal stabilization

Question 18

Can the aircraft be towed to the gate? Where is the procedure found?

Answer 18

Yes, the procedure is in the SOPM

Question 19

Can fueling be done with passengers on board? At the gate? Away from the gate? Engines off? Left engine running?

Answer 19

With engine running: Only the captain, first officer, and FAs may be onboard the aircraft when using this procedure. The MCD must remain open at all times during the fueling operation for removal of personnel in the event of an emergency
