Scenario Questions Flashcards
You are on final for a CAT III approach and the RVR is reported below minimums. What would you do?
Go-around. a Look-see appraoch is not authorized during CAT III approaches (regardless of if you are inside of the FAF or not)
What HGS modes may be used during CAT II and SA CAT I approaches?
PRI, IMC, or AIII (unless AIII is specifically required on JEPP approach plate)
During Taxi, what is required while performing intensive tasks when the visibility is reported below 4000 RVR or 3/4 miles?
Stop the aircraft and set the parking brake
Prior to departure while reviewing your weather packet, you notice the forecast at destination indicates a chance of thunderstorms and wind gusts greater than 20 knots. Do you need an alternate?
Yes. Company requires an alternate be listed when one hour before to one hour after your ETA the forecast indicates thunderstorms or wind gusts greater than 20 knots more than the steady state wind velocity
When is a takeoff alternate required?
A takeoff alternate is required and must be shown in the dispatch release when the weather conditions at the departure airport are below non-HGS CAT I landing minimums
What are the fuel requirements to complete a flight?
YOu must have enough fuel to comply with the following:
1. Fly to the airport to which the aircraft is dispatched (includes fuel required to fly one IAP)
2. thereafter to fly to and land at the most distant alternate airport (When required)
3. Thereafter fly for 45 minutes at normal cruising fuel consumption
What important limitation is associated with the engine anti-ice on the MAX?
AFM L (MAX): the use of engine anti-ice when not in actual or anticipated icing conditions is prohibited
Note: failure to follow anti-ice procedures can result in engine cowl lip damage
Note: this limitation does not apply to any engine dispatch under MEL
When is an overweight landing permitted?
- an emergency
- any condition or combination thereof, in which an expeditious landing would reduce exposure to the risk of additional problems taht would result in a compromise of safety
- A passenger or crew member needs immediate medical attention
- Any inflight interruption due to a non-normal situation (a/c system, atc restriction, company requirement) that prevents the flight from continuing to the dispatched destination
If using the optimum cooling procedure during taxi-in, unless directed by a supplemental or non normal procedure, what position should the FO place engine bleed switches during shutdown?
-the engine bleed switches should be placed back in ON
When the A/P is on and flaps are extended where should the PF hands and feet be positioned? what about PM?
PF: prior to final approach segment, position hands and feet on a/c controls when the AP is engaged and the flaps are extended for maneuvering on approach
PM:prior to final approach segment, position hands and feet to immediately assume control of aircraft if circumstances warrant
Who initiates the 1000 feet callout on all approaches?
the pilot monitoring
Inside the RRM model, risk factors are anything that increase risk and decrease performance. What 3 categories are risk factors divided into?
- Task Loading: the perceived amount of time available to accomplish required task
- Additive Conditions: any factor that adds to task loading or causes distraction (environment, equipment problems, operational problems etc)
- Crew Factors: physiological elements of crew members that negatively impact operational effectiveness and safety (fatigue, stress, fear, illness experience etc.)
Inside RRM model, what actions do you perform to improve operational effectiveness and reduce risk?
A- Assess: maintain awareness and evaluate what is happening to identify, process, and comprehend elements of info and determine how it will effect future outcome
B- Balance: make decisions based on policies, procedures and operational priorities.
C-Communicate RIsk and Intentions: communicate so a shared mental model is established
D- Do and Debrief

What is the only way to verify a MCP mode seelction has occurred?
Proper annunciation on the FMA
