RTC 3//Quiz 1 Flashcards
After landing in freezing conditions what additional step should be taken during the Shutdown Procedure?
Stabilizer trim….set 5 units
Airport elevation is 500 feet, MDA 1200 feet, temperature -20ºC what is your temperature correction to the MDA
100 feet
At which temperature are NO cold temperature altitude corrections required?
+1ºC or above
Before takeoff, engine anti-ice is required and OAT is 3 degrees C or below, which statement is correct?
Run-up to a minimum of 70% N1 and confirm stable engine operation before the start of the Takeoff roll
Clear ice:
Is relatively transparent. A tactile check may be required to detect its presence
Cold temperature altitude adjustments are NOT required for which of these altitudes?
ATC assigned Flight Levels
De-icing the aircraft requires an entry in the Technical Log
Always
Do not use engine or wing anti–ice when
The OAT (on the ground) or TAT (in flight) is above 10°C
During cold weather operations taxi-out
Taxi at a reduced speed, use smaller nose wheel steering and rudder inputs and apply minimum thrust evenly and smoothly
During FREEZING CONDITIONS which additional action should be taken by the pilot flying as part of the normal Preflight Procedure?
PROBE HEAT switches……………..ON
During FREEZING CONDITIONS, as part of the Before Taxi Procedure, the flaps should:
Be moved first to 40 and then to UP before taxi
During taxi out you notice that the wing anti-ice VALVE OPEN lights cycle bright/dim. What actions would be appropriate?
It is normal to see the VALVE OPEN lights cycle bright/dim due to the control valves cycling closed/open in response to thrust setting and duct temperature logic, there is no crew action required
Flaps should be in the UP position during taxi out:
For taxiing in freezing conditions
How long should we wait after de-icing is complete before we turn the engine BLEED switches on?
Wait approximately one minute before turning the BLEED air switches on
Icing conditions exist on the ground if:
The OAT is +10ºC or less, and there is visible moisture present (clouds, fog with visibility less than one statute mile (1600m), rain, snow, sleet, ice crystals, and so on), or ice, snow, slush or standing water is present on the ramps, taxiways, or runways
If a flaps 15 landing will be made, set VREF ICE=VREF 15+10 if which of the following condition(s) apply?
All the other answers are correct:
Engine anti-ice will be used during landing//Icing conditions were encountered during the flight and the landing temperature is below 10ºC//Wing anti-ice has been used any time during the flight
If a re-treatment is necessary what must be done before the new de-icing/anti-icing treatment is applied?
Any residue of the previous treatment should be removed
If de-icing with the engines running which checklist should be used?
The winter operation “handy dandy” dedicated checklist should be used
If landing on a runway contaminated with ice, snow or slush, which modification should be made to the normal after landing procedure?
Do not retract the flaps to less than 15 until the flap areas have been checked to be free of contaminants
If the service providers insist on using their own documentation instead of the Ryanair DAR form, what should you do?
This is acceptable and a copy of the service providers form shall be returned in the flight envelope
One-step de-icing/anti-icing means that?
De-icing and anti-icing is carried out at the same time using a mixture of heated de-icing/anti-icing fluid and water
Removal of contaminants from the airframe may be performed with?
Fluids, mechanical tools and forced air
Ryanair aircraft,
Can operate if there is frost due to cold soaked fuel on the upper wing if less than 1.5mm and other conditions are met
Severe icing can usually be avoided by
A change in altitude and/or airspeed
SNOWTAM Braking Co-efficient are?
Listed for each third of the runway
Take-off and landing is not permitted when the braking action is reported as?
Poor / Nil
Takeoff is permitted with:
A light coating of frost, up to 3 mm in thickness on the lower wing surface due to cold fuel
The colour of Type I fluid is?
Orange
The colour of Type II fluid is?
Translucent Water like appearance
The colour of Type IV fluid is?
Green
The conditions giving rise to ice accretion on the ground include, but are not limited to
All the other answers are correct:
Blown snow from snow drifts, other aircraft, buildings, or other ground structures//Operation on ramps, taxiways, and runways containing moisture, slush, or snow//Freezing fog
d.
The contamination check is?
A check of the aircraft to establish the need for de-icing
The de-icing/anti-icing procedure is?
The procedure by which frost, ice, snow and slush is removed from an aircraft to provide uncontaminated surfaces
The de-icing/anti-icing process is broken down into which of the following steps the following steps?
Contamination check, de-icing/anti-icing procedure, post treatment check, pre takeoff check, pre takeoff contamination check
The flaps should be up during de-icing/anti-icing to:
Prevent ice and slush from accumulating in flap cavities during de-icing
The holdover protection runs out at?
Both the commencement of the takeoff run and when frozen deposits start to form or accumulate on treated aeroplane surfaces
The ICAO definition of notification of ‘light icing’ is?
No change of heading or altitude necessary
The ICAO definition of notification of ‘moderate icing’ is?
Change of heading and/or altitude may be considered desirable
