Questions Bank A340 JUL13 Flashcards
What is the maximum operating altitude?
41,450
What is the aircraft maximum structural taxi weight, takeoff weight, landing weight, and ZFW?
All structural weights are as specified in the LIM chapter.
What are the maximum speeds for each flap/slat configuration?
As specified on the cockpit placard and PFD.
What is the maximum altitude at which the landing gear may be extended?
21,000 ft.
What is the maximum tire speed? (Ground Speed)
204 kts
What is the maximum speed with the cockpit window open?
230 kts
What is the maximum demonstrated or certified crosswind for takeoff/landing on a dry runway (Gusts Included)?
It is greater than 30 knots. Exact values are as specified in the LIM Chapter.
What is the maximum recommended crosswind for landing on a wet or contaminated runway (Gusts excluded)?
• Varies with conditions, as specified in: • FCOM: PRO-SUP and QRH: EY SUPP
What is the maximum tailwind component for landing?
15 Kts, for airfield elevations in the EY network.
What is the maximum taxi speed?
The maximum taxi speed is 30 knots.
In Low Visibility Operations the maximum taxi speed is reduced to 10 knots, assuming no tires are deflated.
What is the air conditioning limitation when using an LP Ground Unit?
Do not use conditioned air simultaneously from packs and an LP ground unit. (This is to avoid chattering of the non-return valves.)
What is the air conditioning limitation when using an HP Ground Unit?
Do not use an HP ground unit when the APU supplies bleed air. (This is to avoid bleed system damage.)
What is the minimum weight for use of autoland?
Not Specified
What is the minimum height for use of the autopilot on takeoff with SRS mode?
100 ft. AGL
What is the minimum height for use of the autopilot during a Straight-in Non- Precision Approach?
Applicable MDA
What is the minimum height for use of the autopilot during a Circling Approach?
Applicable MDA minus 100 ft.
What is the minimum height for use of the autopilot during a Straight-in LNAV/VNAV Approach?
Applicable DA
What is the minimum height for use of the autopilot during an ILS Approach without CAT 2 or CAT 3 displayed on the FMA?
160 ft. AGL
What is the minimum height for engagement of the autopilot during a Go Around?
100 ft. AGL
What is the minimum height for use of the autopilot during all phases other than take-off, instrument approach or go- around?
500 ft. AGL
What is the general limitation regarding the use of the autopilot and/or the FD during an approach in OPEN DES or DES mode?
Use of the AP or FD in OPEN DES or DES mode is not permitted in approach, unless the FCU altitude is set to, or above, MDA or 500 feet, whichever is higher.
What is the general limitation/precaution regarding obstacle clearance and constraints programmed into the FMGS?
Obstacle clearance and adherence to airspace constraints remains the flight crew’s responsibility.
What are the maximum wind conditions for a CAT 2 or CAT 3 ILS Automatic Approach, Landing, & Rollout?
HW: 30 Kts
TW: 10 Kts XW: 20 (-600) 23 (-500)
What is the limitation/precaution regarding the fuel, time predictions/performance information available through the FMGC?
This information is provided for advisory purposes only.
What are the only approach types that may be flown using NAV, or NAV and FINAL APP?
VOR, VOR/DME, NDB, NDB/DME or RNAV approaches.
What are the pre-requisites for performing VOR, VOR/DME, NDB, NDB/DME approach procedures in NAV, or NAV and FINAL APP mode?
The AP or FD must be used and the reference navaid and the corresponding airborne equipment must be serviceable, tuned, and monitored during the approach.
