Question 1

When setting thrust during T/O what limits will the a/t set thrust to?
What are the manual adjustments required?

Answer 1

A/t could overshoot N1 by upto 4% settling to +/- 2% before thr hold engages.
If manual adjustment is required set -0% to +1%

Note: Thr hold prevents unwanted thrust lever movement in case of a malfunction.

Question 2

Target speed during rotation (normal t/o)?

Answer 2

V2 +15 to V2 +25

Question 3

Target speed after t/o with engine failure?

Answer 3

V2 to V2 +20

Question 4

When using ATM for t/o is it permitted for wet t/o? Contaminated t/o?

Answer 4

Wet-yes

Contaminated- no

Question 5

When using fixed derate for t/o can this be use for wet t/o? Contaminated t/o?

Answer 5

Yes for both.

Question 6

What scenario would allow a higher t/o weight using a fixed derate?

Answer 6

On contaminated rwy when VMCG is the limiting factor a fixed derate will allow a lower VMCG allowing a higher weight to be carried

Question 7

If an engine failure occurs during a atm t/o can you advance the thrust levers if required?

Answer 7

Yes

Question 8

When using a fixed derate or atm/fixed derate t/o can you advance thrust levers after an engine failure if reqd?

Answer 8

No only advance thrust lever in a situation such as windshear due to possible vmca limitations.

Question 9

What are the possible symptoms of volcanic ash encounter?

Answer 9

• Odour (Smokey, acrid electrical burning, sulphuric type smell)
• Haze
• Changing engine conditions ( surging, temp fluctuations, flameout)
• Airspeed ( pitot could get blocked resulting in erratic airspeed)
• pressurisation ( can change including total loss)
• static discharge( similar to st Elmo’s fire).
