Sim spring 2025 Flashcards
Weather deviation NAT HLA?
5nm stay on level.
After 5nm: -300 north
After 5nm: +300 south
NAT HLA when to change squak?
after 10min.
Except in Reykjavik FIR.
How to leave nat track for contingency?
- NEVER LEAVE TRACK UNTIL DESCEND IS NEEDED and UNABLE TO OBTAIN ATC CLEARANCE.
Maintain SLOP 0.1.2 Until clearance or need to descend.
Turn MINIMUM 30deg.
-lights on
-communicate 121.5-123.45, CPDLC
-At 5nm parallel start descend below FL290.
-Choose flight level 500ft offset. (285,275,265 ect.)
How many LRNSs do you need to NAT HLA?
2
If you only have 1 LRNS before takeoff what do you need to do?
- Repair,
- Fly above or below the NAT HLA
- Special routes
If you only have 1 LRNS before entry NAT HLA?
Same as before takeoff:
- Repair,
- Fly above FL420 or below FL285
- special routes.
Can YOU enter NAT HLA with only 1 LRNS?
NO.
(above/below or special routes)
What happens if you have only 1 LRNS AFTER entry of NAT HLA?
- Request ATC clearance to continue in NAT HLA
- Review circumstances.
- Above FL420 or below FL285.
- Review all performance / nav sources available.
- Other contrails might provide track indication
System failure of all NAV sources?
- Notify ATC.
- Climb/descend 500ft.
Diversion from NAT HLA track?
- 5nm offset FIRST
- then descend to FL285 or climb to FL420.
- Then proceed according to the situation (start urgent diversion) or according to ATC clearance.
General Contingency NAT HLA?
-STAY ON SLOP 0.1.2 Until clearance. If you HAVE TO descend without clearance do as follows:
- turn min 30deg.
- light on
- 5nm offset.
- squak 7700
- Get clearance
- Descend offset by 500ft if required.
- Below FL290 turn to alternate airport!!!
General NAT HLA procedure normal ops.
- Send RCL message as early as possible.
- Check navagation (ANPvs RNP)
- Log on to CPDLC.
- Set 300 sec MAX delay.
- Route (mach speed)
- TT and distance.
- RTE copy
- Time fuel check.
- SLOP 0, 1, 2
- SELCAL CHECK HF
- Squak 2000 after 10 min.
NON normal approaches and all approaches?
EVERYTHING MUST BE DONE PRIOR TO FINAL!
ENG page FF one engine =15 MIN fuel.
RCL message GANDER?
90-60min
RCL message Shanwick?
90-30min
Less then 45min flight time from entry send RCL 10min prior to start up.
RCL message Santa Maria?
minimum 40min
RCL message BODØ
minimum 20min
RCL message REYKJAVIK?
MAX 20min.
NON NORMAL GUIDELINE Cargolux?
Non normal recognition
Maintain airplane control
Analyse the situation
Take proper action
Evaluate the need to land
how should every approach be?
EVERYTHING DONE prior to final.
Fuel flow 1 engine =15 min flight time. (2ton =10min CRZ)
First action after NON normal situation?
- FLY THE AIRPLANE. (AP on Lateral and vertical mode)
- Navigate
- Communicate: PANPAN 3x or MAYDAY 3x?
What is a PANPAN?
Flight controls
Gear
Flaps
1 engine failure.
Where do you find required equipment for NAT HLA?
QRH operational info
MEL
What LRNS are required in NAT HLA?
Options:
A: 1 GPS and 1 IRS
B: 2 IRS (we have 3)
In addition to 1 FMC and 2 CDUs.
NAT HLA when is GPS required?
On PBCS RNP4 routes.
DLM fl 290-410 Means CPDLC and ADS-C which required GPS /VHF (no coverage whole NAT HLA)
Is FMC required for FANS?
YES
Is GPS required in NAT HLA?
ONLY in the PBCS part or the NAT HLA. Because OF DLM you need VHF reception without GPS. Effectivly you need GPS from FL290-FL410.
Is SATCOM required in NAT HLA?
YES (unless you can use VHF which in general is only in the north maybe over iceland greenland ect.
Do you need CPLDC AND ADS-C in NAT HLA?
YES, except a few areas, north of 80deg, blue spruce ect.
Iceland greenland corridor.
Why do you need MAWEA?
MAWEA provides info to ACARS from various com avioncs on board. CPLDC ADS-c need ACARS.
MAWEA goes to ACARS which goes to CPDLC and ADS-C
What happens in PBCS tracks?
23nm seperation from:
RCP 240 (300sec in CPDLC)
RSP 180
RNP 4.
Weather requirement USA?
From OM-A (last pages of OFP)
WX requirement destination, ETP and Takeoff alternate?
+/- 1 hr :
- Visibility according to chart.
- Ceiling above MDA for type A approach
Approaches type A vs B?
Type B presision approaches.
Type A non presision approach and pression approaches with minimums 250ft or higher.
WX requirement for Destination ALTERNATE and FUEL ERA? (different from destination!!!!) TYPE B
Type B (ILS) Approach WX minimums:
DA/MDA +150ft
RVR +450meter.
When do you need to calculate ENROUTE landing distance?
Takeoff alternate
Destination:
- non normal config,
- WET rwy (not forcasted)
- Checklist say land nearest suitable.
When do you need to caluculate DISPATCH landing distance?
Contaminated RWY (not forcasted)
WX requirement for Destination ALTERNATE and FUEL ERA? (different from destination!!!!) TYPE A
TYPE A (RNP: LNAV /VNAV)
DA/MDA +400ft
RVR/VIS +1500m
Less with 2 rwys and 2 type of naviation ( example: VOR and GPS)
Possible senario in NAT HLA?
- ENG Shutdown: 5nm, desend, divert, jettison, land
- Fuel leak, imballance, airplane turning, recalulate fuel, Jettison?, divert, land.
- Double GPS failure: Desend /climb out of PBCS / DLM airspace. Fuel? Continue new level or divert?
Consequences of spoofing NAT HLA?
GPS does not recover= Can not fly PBCS airspace, ATC might need you to descend to FL 280 due to DLM in FL290-FL410.
Fuel imbalance what to check?
Totaliser vs Calculated fuel.
ATC call for WINDSHEAR?
MAYDAY MAYDAY MAYDAY Cargolux ____ WINDSHEAR.

Allways ask ATC to enter OCA anyways. You never know if they have space unless you ask
Big speed change above 1000FT?
Not windshear above 1000ft AGL. So adjust pitch and thrust like normal.
