Answer 5

Vth
Vth - 5

Question 6

Go around
Procedure + speed

Answer 6

Pickle
Power
(Pitch 4, GA cmd bars initially but they can demand too high, monitor speed)
Speed brake 0
Speed above Vth
“GA, good speed? Flaps 30, check thrust”
“Positive rate? Gear up”
Climb to OCH / 2000 agl
Vth + 10 -> Flaps 20
Stabilise, V man pitch 6 thrust 66% 1000fpm

Question 7

Ice shedding on ground
A)when is it required
B) how do you achieve
C) what take off?

Answer 7

A) icing conditions, operating N1<70% over 10 minutes. Carry out every 30 mins and before take off.
B) slowly increase N1 to 35% check for vibration. If ok, then increase to 70% on symmetric pair for 30 secs.
C) static take off (achieves ice shedding)

Question 8

Ice shedding airborne
A) cruise
B) descent

Answer 8

Symmetrical: idle for 5 sec - MCT within 2% then back to required thrust.

A) operating N1<80% below 23,000 ft in icing conditions: 10 to -30C visible moisture. Every 10 mins, 5 mins if icing visible

B) N1 <80% descending from above 23,000 (cold soaked) through 10 to -30C moisture. Passing 20k and 10k. Regularly as required.

Question 9

Wind shear approach

Answer 9

Compare surface wind with INS/GPS at 3000ft / pattern height to estimate headwind/tailwind change.
Gain = increase in HW/decrease TW
If >15kts change in hw component:
Compare GS inbound to FAF to Vmgs (APC). Expect to fly GS and let IAS be above Vapp. Do not slow below Vapp.

Tailwind / gain shear: GS will be above Vmgs so fly Vapp and the GS will taper as the shear layer passes.

Question 10

Scramble start

Answer 10

JFS number 3
Set N1 33%
Cross start No 2,
20% N2 for throttle to Start
Set N1 33%
Cross start no 1 and 4 simultaneously

Question 11

TOLD
Critical take off

Answer 11

CFL > RA - 2000
3EO CRN < 4
S1 > Vcb
1% obstacle clearance buffer not met

TRT or MCL should be used unless lower required for Vmcg or Vmca

Question 12

Door warning light indicates which doors?

Answer 12

Crew entry
Cargo door

Question 13

When is Engine anti ice required

Answer 13

Less than or equal to +10C
And
Visible moisture (rain, snow, fog with visibility < 1 mile)

Question 14

Ice shedding airborne
How often?
How?

Answer 14

If N1 < 80% or icing suspected. Below 23,000ft. Every 10 mins in icing conditions, or 5 mins if accumulation appreciable.

Flight:
SYM to Idle 5 sec. Rapidly to MCT. Once within 2% MCT return to required.

Descending from above 23k through moisture. Accomplish at 20k and 10k and as required.

Question 15

Brake snubbing
When, why, how

Answer 15

Moisture on brakes and
Freezing or near freezing ground or take off.

Accelerate to 15kts. Decelerate 5.
Repeat min 5 times max 10 times
5.5 Mftlbs energy added
Reduce Vnb by 10 kts

Question 16

Static take off
Additional considerations

Answer 16

Align with runway
Set thrust 70% stable then proceed as normal.
200ft lineup distance
Avoid with Aft CG
Avoid with low RCR conditions
Check engine wind limits if operating >70 N1 (overheat)

Question 17

PMC inoperative take off

Answer 17

Section 3/engines/non critical
Static take off!
PMC off (max 1)
Set all N1 pointers to take off thrust
Set 70% on 4, stable
Set TO thrust on 3 good PMC, TO -2% PMC off.
Monitor N1 on climb out, do not exceed TRT or EGT
N1 could increase up to 4%
Likely have to increase N1 during climb to maintain MCL

Question 18

Cross start

Answer 18

Operating engine N1 to 33%

Question 19

Scramble start

Answer 19

JFS start 3
Cross start 2
1 and 4 simultaneously once engine 2 N1 reaches 33%.
Throttle START N2 above 20%
2 min idle not required

Question 20

JFS start
Potential issues:
JFS cuts out early
Fails to cut out
Fails to start

Answer 20

Within 10s: Door open, light on.
No light, Start OFF - auto cut out 8s if no JFS light up, wait 5 mins.

Starter light should not come on.
Normal start procedures, JFS cut out and turn off 50-53%

Fails to start:
10s? No door or light? start to Off. 19V main battery, 22V JFS battery

Cut out early:
No later than N2 20% if fault detected, Mx required

Fails to cut out:
Light remains on, start to Off… throttle cut off if light remains.

Question 21

Take off data - check
What?

Answer 21

Brief the take off and departure.
Include 2000 agl clean up height in AMSL

Recompute required:
Runway temp 5C
PA 250ft
GW 2,500lb
CG 1%

Recalculate N1 If runway temp changes 2C

Question 22

180 turn on taxiway

Answer 22

230ft min width
Inboard engine over taxi edge (FOD and obstacle clearance?)
Enter at 3-5kts, increasing do not let aircraft stagnate.
Differential braking only if absolutely necessary (stress/wear)
Assess 90 deg and reduce if possible.

Question 23

Taxi width/clearance references

Answer 23

From wingtip
9 o’clock on engine: 25ft
7 o’clock: 10ft
6 o’clock : 0ft
Anything 25-10ft needs wing walker
Inside 10ft forbidden

Question 24

Rudder pedal inoperative take off

Answer 24

LHS uses tiller until Vmcg + 20 then transfers left hand to yoke.
RHS hold yoke fully forward and into wind until Vmcg +20

Question 25

Rotation should be delayed by x it’s where visibility and runway length permit

Answer 25

3-5kts to improve speed margins on climb out

Question 26

During take off PM should be monitoring at least

Answer 26

Engine instruments
Airspeed indicators
Fire / overheat warning lights
Stab trim
(Rudder command bar? Can’t see this)

Question 27

Climb out speed targets and deviations

Answer 27

TO Max approximated by the APC TOGA function which sets pitch targets.
Aim for between Climb out speed + speed deviations (3EO or 4EO) to ensure object penetration surface is surpassed. ie. No slower than Vco (AoA 0.86) or Vco + 10kts (AoA 0.7-0.8)
Speed deviation F30 3kts, F20 8kts.
If Vrot is increased then Vco increases by same amount. Follow command bars to achieve new speed band.
Light weight, Don’t exceed 15 NU unless needed for obstacle clearance…

Question 28

Thrust setting during climb

Answer 28

Use MCT
N1 computer to 270/300 (M0.74)
Above 10,000ft lower nose, accel and maintain MCT
Adjust every 10,000ft

Question 29

ERCC

Answer 29

IFG pg 29
Multiple full stop landings cx

Off going:
Landing: Note braking speed and distance for brake cooling.
Set up TOLD with latest
Gear to CP side of aircraft.
CP remains in seat until AC seated.

Brief:
Aircraft status
Weather
Fuel state and panel
Brake cooling remaining

On coming:
Review AFTO 781
Check pressurisation and A/C
Long range clearance on request!

Question 30

TCAS test
Traffic traffic (Time to collision)
RA

Answer 30

Test- aural “TCAS system test ok”

Traffic - solid yellow 20-45s, attempt to visually acquire, do not manoeuvre.

RA - 5 sec to react, follow VVI green band, notify ATC.

Question 31

RVSM requirements and altimeter tolerances

Answer 31

1. 2 independent static sources for ADC/altimeter systems
2. Autopilot with altitude hold
3. A functioning ASEL with altitude alerting
4. IFF

Independent Altimeters must be within 130ft of each other.

Nav altimeter must normal vs stby must be within 80ft. Auto alert / reversion if greater than 150ft. Repeater of ADC 2 in normal mode.

Ground check: 80ft of each other, 75ft of the know elevation.

At all times the max difference between pilot and copilot altimeters is 80ft (Sec3)

Question 32

Cold weather procedures
When is hydraulic warmup required
When is engine warm required

Answer 32

HYD warmup if temp below -7C / 20F in past 24 hrs or since last landing if less than 24 hrs

Engine warm anti ice with ground cart if below -18C / 0.4F

Question 33
