SOP's Flashcards
The recommended procedure for flight in severe turbulence is?
- Target airspeed is 280 knots or .76 MACH whichever is lower, do not chase the airspeed
- if autopilot is engaged use CWS, do not use ALT HOLD
- auto throttle disengage
When should gear be taken on an ILS?
At 4nm, but not later than 3.5nm, call “GEAR DOWN”, “FLAPS 15.” Arm speed brake and check green light illuminated. Call “LANDING CHECKLIST DOWN TO FLAPS.”
What are the maximum and recommended speeds at which you can exit a Rapid Exit Taxiway?
Maximum speed 60 knots
Recommended speed 45 knots
If moderate to heavy rain, hail or sleet is encountered…
Start switches should be positioned to CONT, Autothrottle disconnected, thrust levers adjusted slowly. A slower IAS/Mach used and consideration given to starting the APU
What warnings signify predictive windshear?
‘Windshear Ahead’
‘Go Around Windshear Ahead’
‘Monitor Radar Display’
When should a commander declare a Mayday for fuel?
When calculated usable fuel on landing at the nearest suitable aerodrome where a safe landing can be performed is less than final reserve fuel.
In flight fuel checks should be performed and recorded on the plot at…
At TOC or nearest equivalent abeam waypoint and regular intervals in the cruise. Time interval in the cruise is 30 mins or next waypoint thereafter. Fuel shall be recorded at TOD

An ‘Emergency Turn’ (Engine failure on take off) must be flown at?
V2 with a 15’ angle of bank
At what stage are we no longer constrained by MEL?
Once pushback has commenced, the aircraft is no longer constrained by the MEL
How long does the rectangle around each mode annunciation remain active after each engagement.
10 seconds
Whenever the APU is operating and AC electrical power is on the airplane busses, operate at least one fuel boost pump to supply fuel under pressure to the APU to extend the service life of the APU fuel control unit.
Correct

Prior to switching on the A system pump switches, we should ensure?
