RVSM/PBN Flashcards
Between what altitudes is RVSM airspace?
FL290-FL410
When transitioning to another flight level what is the max limit of altitude deviation allowed for level off?
150ft
When maintaining flight level what is the max altitude deviation the two altimeters may have before having to report to ATC?
200ft
At what altitude deviation does the PIC require to report to ATC “Unable to maintain RVSM!”
300ft
When does the altitude alerter start flashing/sound?
+/- 200ft
What equipment is required before entering RVSM airspace?
2x Altimeters
1x Autopilot
1x Altitude Alert System
1x Transponder
On the ground, what is the max altitude difference between the two PFD altitudes?
20ft
On the ground, what is the max altitude difference between the PFD and the ISIS
100ft
On the ground, what is the max altitude difference between the PFD and mechanical standby altimeter?
300ft
On the ground, to within what altitude shall the altimeters be to the airfield elevation/parking position elevation?
60ft, if more than 60ft no more than 75ft but needs to be rechecked at second airport. (If more than 60ft and no engineering base at destination best to have it repaired immediately)
What equipment is needed for RNAV approaches?
1FMGC,1MCDU,2IRS,1GPS,1ND(pfside),1FD(pfside),2FCU,1PFD
RNP Appr Brief should include ?
• Check Aircraft Database and waypoints
• Check the RAIM RNP Values
Approach: 1.0
After FAF: 0.3
Go-Around: 1.0
• Check minimum temp on the Approach Chart
• Select TERR for 1 pilot
Use the appropriate remaining AP/FD in the following cases?
• GPS PRIMARY LOST on one ND
• NAV ACCUR DOWNGRAD on one ND.
Discontinue the approach in the following cases, if external visual references are not sufficient to proceed visually?
• GPS PRIMARY LOST on both NDs
• XTK>0.3NM
• NAV FM/GPS POS DISAGREE on ECAM
• NAV ACCUR DOWNGRAD on both NDs
• Discontinue the approach in the case of deviation of 75 ft below the vertical path (V/DEV > 3⁄4 dot)
