SOP's Flashcards
What audio test signals will you expect to hear for the CVR that is able to record for 120
min?
For CVR 120 min:
‐ A short tone, or
‐ A short tone and a beep every 4 s, or
‐ Two short tones and a beep every 4 s.
When will the crew select the PACK flow to the HI position?
And the LO position?
LO : below 141 pax
HI : For abnormally hot and humid conditions.
NORM : For all other normal operating cases.
If the APU is supplying, pack controllers select HI flow automatically, regardless of the selector position.
During the Cockpit Preparation ELEC BAT Check, what actions will the crew is going to do if the charge of at least one battery is not below 60A?
If the charge of at least one battery is not below 60 A:
Wait until the end of the charging cycle of the batteries and perform this check again.
In which situations will you perform a complete IRS alignment?
A complete IRS alignment must be performed in the following cases:
‐ Before the first flight of the day, or
‐ When there is a crew change, or
‐ When the departure airport is located between latitudes 2 ° north and 2 ° south, or
‐ When the GPS is not available and the NAVAID coverage is poor on the expected route, or
‐ When the GPS is not available and the expected flight time is more than 3 h.
In which situations will you perform a fast IRS alignment?
A fast IRS alignment must be performed if a complete IRS alignment is not necessary and the difference between the IRS position and the FMGC position is at or above 5 NM (see MCDU POSITION MONITOR page).
What are the conditions required to perform ADIRS alignment?
To perform an alignment, the aircraft must be stopped on ground. Do not align IRS during engine start, or while the engines are running. In the case of aircraft movement during the IRS alignment, the flight crew must perform a new full alignment.
Why is it important to select the PA reception knob on ACP 3 during the Cockpit
Preparation?
This allows cabin attendant announcements to be recorded on the CVR.
Why are OEBs issued?
An Operations Engineering Bulletin is published to inform Operators of any deviations from initial design objectives that have a significant operational impact. An OEB provides the Operators
with technical information and temporary operational procedures that take into account these deviations.
An OEB:
‐ Is temporary and usually focuses on one operational subject only
‐ Is included in the OEB section of the QRH so that the flight crew can easily access it
‐ At any time during the flight, if the OEB conditions are applicable, the flight crew must apply the operational procedure(s) that is in the QRH OEB section.
Meaning of white and red OEB’s?
Red: RED OEBs are published to indicate that non-compliance with the recommended procedures may have a significant impact on the safe operation of the aircraft. The Operators shall provide all flight crews with these OEBs or their content without delay.
White: WHITE OEBs are published to indicate that non-compliance with the recommended procedures may have a significant impact on aircraft operation. Airbus recommends that the Operators apply these OEBs within 30 days from the date of publication of these OEBs.
Is T/O on a contaminated runway permitted?
No, takeoff on a contaminated runway is not approved (AC is permitted with TOGA thrust only, but for JQ not allowed).
FCOM PRO-NOR-JSS-A P 21/48
Can you land on a contaminated runway?
Landing on contaminated runways is not permitted unless it is required due to an
emergency.
FCOM PRO-NOR-JSS-F P 4/6
When do you turn anti ice on?
For engine:
When TAT is 10degC or below, down to -40degC SAT
For wing:
When there is visible ice on the probe
What is the RAISE process? What does it stand for?
Used when an abnormal situation is identified, or deviation from SOPs such as:
* Loss of control (Upset prevention);
* Airborne conflict;
* Controlled flight into terrain (CFIT);
* Ground handling;
* System degradation and inflight events (e.g. unreliable airspeed, fire onboard);
* Runway excursion; and
* Runway incursion.
R – Relay information:
* “There’s a strong tailwind here on base.”
* “VLS is increasing”
* “We have to turn left at taxiway A”
* “TCAS indicates traffic at 10 o’clock, 6 miles”
A – Ask a question:
* “Do you think you should start the final turn early?”
* “Do you want to descend?”
* “Have you got that 737 on our left?”
I – The ‘I’ statement:
* “I am concerned that we’ll cross over to the other runway path.”
* “I am concerned that our speed is decreasing, and we are already at maximum thrust”
* “I think we should stop here and clarify taxi instructions”
S – Solution statement:
* “Increase your bank angle.”
* “Lower the nose”
* “Turn right”
* “Stop”
E – Emergency statement:
* “Captain, you must act now!”
When can you use the FMS for navigation below LSALT?
*AC under radar control
*In compliance with published departure, holding, arrival or appch proc (exc DME arrival)
*In compliance with descent not below DME steps (DME arrival not permitted)
*By day in VMC
FCOM PRO-NOR-JSS-A P 6/48
Can we do DME or GPS arrivals?
No, not permitted. But can descend via the DME/GNSS steps on a DME/GNSS arrival in prep for a visual or instrument appch (just not specifically a DME or GNSS arrival).
FCOM PRO-NOR-JSS-A P 6/48
FCOM PRO-NOR-JSS-A P 29/48
FCOM POR-NOR-JSS-D P 6/16
What is the STOP Threats briefing?
Briefing from Capt to cabin crew before each flight.
- Status of AC and crew
- Turbulence/weather expected
- Operational considerations (rear stairs boarding etc
- Password
- Threats (with mitigation strategies)
FCOM PRO-NOR-JSS-A P 8/48
Can pilots take their own wake turbulence separation?
No
FCOM PRO-NOR-JSS-A P 9/48
When to turn brake fans on?
Prior to stopping at the gate, or at 5 minutes after landing whichever is first
FO crosswind limitation?
30kt (20kt until 12 months post line check)
FCOM PRO-NOR-JSS-A P 11/48
Below what runway distance does it become a captain only landing?
1700m
FCOM PRO-NOR-JSS-A P 11/48
FO crosswind limitation?
30kt (20kt until 12 months post line check)

After selecting an altitude on the FCU what position should the outer knob be left in?
The 100ft incriment position
FCOM PRO-NOR-JSS-A P 22/48
EFB app category reqs? A, B, C?
A = on at least two devices
B = on at least one device
C = not required for dispatch

When must CM2 stay head down until?
Visual = heads free
Instrument (CAT I - no autoland or NPA) = head down until CM1 calls “visual” or “continue”
Instrument (CAT I/II/III or SA CAT I/II - auto land) = head down until autopilot disengage on rollout
