S&L, Climbing, Descending, Turns Flashcards
Approx. what TQ setting is required for 150 KIAS in S&L flight?
32% + 1% per 1000ft
Approx. what TQ setting is required for 180 KIAS in S&L flight?
45% + 1% per 1000ft
Approx. what TQ setting is required for 210 KIAS in S&L flight?
56% + 1% per 1000ft
The selection of what automatically retracts the speedbrake?
Selection of T/O or Land flap
Throttle to max
What are the g limits with the gear and/or flap extended?
0 to +2g
What is the best rate of climb speed?
140 KIAS (approx. 12 deg. NU)
What is the best angle of climb speed?
125 KIAS
What speed is typically used to climb out in to the area?
180 KIAS (approx. 8-9 deg. NU)

When a climb or descent is approx. more than what altitude change should the TCAS be set to above or below respectively?
2000ft
What are the climbing checks and when are they carried out?
Fuel - Check contents
OBOGs - Confirm flow indicator in both cockpits
DEFOG - As req.
Vent control lever - As req.
Pressurisation system - Check
Carried out upon passing 10,000ft
When should you change the altimeters from QFE on departure/climb out?
When passing the Transition Altitude (normally 3000ft).
Ensure altimeters are cross-checked (HUD/PFD and BFI), including with the rear seat.
What is the format of the descent ‘call-outs’, and how often must you make them?
What else is done at the same time?
State ‘altitude passing, descending, altitude cleared to/descending to’
E.g.:
“6000, descending, 3000”
> 10,000ft: Every 5,000ft
5,000 to 10,000ft: Every 2,000ft
< 5,000ft: Every 1,000ft
Whilst checking altitude, the altimeters are also cross-checked (HUD vs PFD and BFI, front to back if dual)
When will you typically use SPS?
When will you typically use RPS?
What are the pre descent checks?
F
I
R
A
D
S
What is the cruise speed and power setting?
210 KIAS
Approx. 56% TQ (+1% TQ per 1000ft)
What is the approximate rate of descent when carrying out a penetration descent?
8000fpm
How do you enter an en-route descent from the cruise speed of 210 KIAS?
Starting at 210 KIAS in the cruise, lower the nose to the en-route descent attitude (approx. 8 deg. ND).
As speed increases to 220 KIAS, set 5% TQ, hold and trim.
L-A-I work cycle once established.
How do you commence a penetration descent?
Lower the nose to approx. 20 deg. ND.
Approaching 240 KIAS, select IDLE and speedbrake OUT to capture and maintain 250 KIAS.
What emergencies is a penetration descent useful for?
Emergencies involving OBOGs or the pressurisation system, be it direct failure of the systems, or an electrical/engine failure that will means they will soon be lost.
Also useful if you need to penetrate a known icing layer.
