Prog check chapter 2/3 Flashcards
Standard Callouts & their Purpose?
There are 4 purposes of standard callouts. They are to provide and share information relating to: AS IF!
- Altitude, position or speed
- Significant deviation in flight path, speed or descent rates
- Information to aid in judgement for making a landing or a missed approach
- Flight and navigation instruments and autopilot system status
Standard callouts also serve the objective of:
- To confirm information on altitude, position, speed and system status which does not require crew action
- To enhance crew coordination, common recognition and fail safe functions
- “10,000ft” To notify the PF of 250kts below 10,000ft
- “5,000ft” To notify the PF that the maximum speed is now 300kts and the maximum rate of descent is 2,500 ft/m
The standard significant deviations on approach are:
- G/S: More than one dot
- LOC: More than 1/2 dot (more than 1 dot on the expanded scale)
- More than 1/3 dot on normal scale (1/2 a dot on the expanded scale) after the “APPROACHING MINIMUM” callout CAT11/111
- Sink rate: More than 1,000 ft./min below 1,000ft AGL
- Airspeed: Above 10kts or less than 5kts from bug target speed below 1,000ft AGL with landing flap
- AOM 3-1 (10) / AOR 2-1-9 (1)”
