When checking the radar panel on the preliminary cockpit preparation checklist, what are we looking for?
Display switches OFF, WX OFF, gain knob Auto, Turb sw Auto
When testing the battery voltage during the preliminary cockpit preparations, what are the time considerations?
If the aircraft has not been electrically supplied for 6 hr or more, voltage limit is 25.5
If it has been electrically supplied for the last 6 hours, the voltage limit is 23.5
What is a consideration when pressurizing the hydraulic systems on the ground?
Ground personal must provide clearance
What is a good APU fire test?
4 RED 1 AMBER 1 HORN: APU FIRE pb sw - red 2 MASTER WARN lights - red ECAM APU FIRE message - red AGENT & SQUIB pb - amber CRC
Will the APU ECB logic perform an automatic shutdown on ground when the test button is pressed while the APU is running?
No
What is the electrical supply consideration when starting the APU during the preliminary cockpit preparation checklist?
If the aircraft is only powered by batteries, wait 3 minutes before selecting the APU start pb sw to prevent APU fuel feed by air in the trim tank fuel line
How long do you wait after the APU is started is to disconnect external power?
5 minutes
What are you setting on the Air Conditioning panel during the preliminary cockpit preparation checklist?
- When APU bleed is available, turn on APU BLEED only if no LP or HP air is connected
- All white lights off
- X-Bleed Auto
- Cockpit / Cabin temp - as required (12 o’clock)
What are you setting on the Cargo Air Conditioning panel during the preliminary cockpit preparation checklist?
Temperature and FWD cooling as required - typically we set FWD cooling to off unless we know it is required for livestock, plants, food
What are you setting on the Cockpit Light panel during the preliminary cockpit preparation checklist?
Test the annunciator lights and setting the lights in the cockpit and glare shield
When initializing the FMGS, what are you checking on the A/C status page?
Model number is A-330-200
Eng type is RR TRENT 772B-60
Database code begins with HA
Ensure database is current - cycle to reset
What two considerations
When do we do the emergency equipment check?
After the preliminary cockpit preperation checklist, before the walk around
What do we need to do before the walk around but after the cockpit preliminary checklist is complete?
- Ensure flaps position agrees with handle position; Speed brakes retracted and disarmed
- Parking brake is on, accumulator pressure in the green, brake pressure indicator normal
- Review OEBs in QRH
- Check emergency equipment
- Rain repellent
- Gear pins
When do we turn on the fasten seatbelt sign on the ground?
During the captain’s cockpit preparation flow, however fueling must be complete
During the captain’s cockpit preparation flow, what are the settings on the SIGNS panel?
Seat belt - ON (only if fueling is complete)
No Smoking - AUTO
EMER EXIT - ARM
During the captain’s cockpit preparation flow, what are we setting on the EFIS Control panel?
CSTR push button active Set Altimeter - confirm within 75' of field elevation FD on LS as required (rarely) ND Mode / Range (usually arc / 10) ADF/VOR - if you want
What is the captain checking on the PFD during the cockpit preparation flow?
- PFD/ND not transfereed
- Correct display when ADIRS are aligned
- regular and complete display
What is the captain checking on the ND during the cockpit preparation flow? If it’s out of parameters what needs to be completed?
- Correct display
2. Ground speed less than 5 kts - if exceeded a full ADIRS alignment must be completed
What is the special consideration for the clock during the What is the captain’s cockpit preparation flow?
It must be checked against the GPS clock in the MCDU
When conducting the “spongy brake test” during the captain’s cockpit preparation flow, what are you ensuring?
brake feel and checking that pressure builds up without delay symmetrically on both sides; pressure between 2200 and 2700 PSI
What is being set on the ATC panel during the captain’s cockpit preparation flow?
- ATCY stby; squawk if available
- ALT RPTG on
- TCAS - STBY
- ATC SYS - toward PF
For the audio control panel, what are you setting during the Captain’s cockpit preparation flow?
Init on, volume up. VHF functioning. HF - maybe better in air.
Also check tuning panel (RMP)
- On
- No green light in NAV
- Frequencies needed
What are we confirming during the LEGs verification?
- MCDU plan against flight plan
- Estimated distance
- Estimated fuel remaining
Why do we typically start Engine 1 first?
It powers the blue hydraulic system which pressurizes the parking brake
What are you reviewing on the ECAM page prior to engine start?
Confirm that all amber crosses and messages have extinguished on the engine parameter section (upper ECAM)
What are typical engine parameters at sea level?
EPR 1.015 N1 22% N2 47% N3 63% EGT ~380ºC FF ~ 1800/h
How long should the engines run at or near idle after start?
Cold engines - 5 mins
Warm (less than 1.5hrs ) - 3 mins
Taxi at idle counts
Why do we turn the APU BLEED off after start
APU BLEED closes and ENG BLEED valves open to avoid ingestion of engine exhaust gases
What is the temperature limit requiring the ice shedding procedure?
OAT 1ºC or less advance to 50% N1 for 10s intervals, but not for longer than 1 hour
When is it mandatory to have at least 1 radar display on?
At night
When do we operate with the ENG Start selector in IGN/START?
- Heavy rain
- Moderate turbulence
- Severe turbulence expected after takeoff
When must the crew immediately select REV MAX on landing?
- An emergency
- Deceleration not as expected
- A failure effecting landing performance
- Long flare or long touch down
- Unexpected tailwind
What is the the call out that the FAF?
Fix Name
PFD Altitude
Altimeter setting
Checked
What is stabilized approach criteria at 1000 ft AFE
Gear down, fully configured, speed break retracted, appropriate thrust
Vertical speed less than or equal to 1000’ pm unless briefed
Airspeed +20/-5 kts
Only minor corrections for VS and IAS
What is stabilized approach criteria at 500’ AFE?
Appropriate thrust VSI less than or equal to 1000' unless briefed \+10/-5 kts All checklists completed Aligned with runway
What is the captains ADIRS check after shutdown?
Data - LSK L 1 - check drift and compare to table in QRC according to flight time
“”””” - LSK L2 - check Ground Speed deviation + 5 kts requires write up
The stabilized approach criteria requires we are in alignment with the runway by 500’, are there any exceptions?
Yes - the HNL 26L LDA
What is the color hierarchy of guarded switches?
black guarded switches are reversible, red guarded switches are not
How do we capture the glide slope if we’re held high?
- Arm approach
- Both APs on
- Roll altitude higher than present
- V/S -2000 and pull
What is a TEST briefing?
The notification for the FFA of any irregular situation that may significantly affect the planned outcome of the flight T- TYPE E-EXPECT (what to expect) S-Signal T-Time to prepare
