SOP's and general Q's Flashcards

1
Q

What do you do if you suffer an engine failure during an ILS?

A

If landing flap selected may continue to CAT II minima.

  • can continue with landing flap in above situation or can retract to flap 20
  • if on late final or landing distance is an issue then remain at landing flap.
  • if early in approach it may be appropriate( usually preferable) to retract to flap 20. Add 10 kts to your Vapp speed which will give you at least Vref 20 +5 (FCTM 5.25)

Prior to landing flap being selected.

  • May continue to CAT 1 but should discontinue approach and complete NNC ect prior to landing.

Q

When can a PIC apply a MEL?

A

After doors are closed. Or at non maintenance ports.

  • Prior to doors closed an engineer has to apply MEL.
  • after doors closed = NNC, Status, DDG
  • after engine start = NNC, DDG (PIC applied MEL) = Status msgs do not require action = If there is a (M) then must return to bay. If there is an (O) then can continue.
  • After start of Takeoff roll = NNC only. Use DDG to contemplate the affects for next sector. notify maintenance via sat phone.

36
Q

What is the definition of a contaminated Runway?

A

Contaminated Runway: For aircraft performance purposes and use of this Matrix, a runway is considered contaminated when more than 25 percent of the runway surface area within the reported length and the width being used is covered by any depth of slush, ice, dry or wt snow, or frost, or by water more than 1/8-inch (3mm) deep.

Definitions for each of these runway contaminants are provided below;

Dry Snow-Snow that can be blown if loose, or that will not stick together to form a snowball used gloved hands.

Wet Snow- Snow that contains enough water content to be able ti make a well- compacted, solid snowball, but water will not squeeze out.

Slush - Snow that is so water saturated that water will drain from it when a handful is picked up. Slush will splatter is stepped on forcefully.

Compacted Snow - Snow that has been compressed into a solid mass such that the aircraft tyres, at operating pressures and loadings, will run on the surface without significant further compaction or rutting of the surface. Compacted snow may include a mixture of snow and embedded ice; if it is more ice than compacted snow, then it should be reported as either ice or wet ice, as applicable. A layer of compacted snow over ice should be reported as compacted snow.

Frost - Frost consists of ice crystals formed from airborne moisture that condenses on a surface whose temperature is below freezing. Frost differs from ice in that the frost crystals grow independently and therefore have a more granular texture. Heavy frost that has noticeable depth may have friction qualities similar to ice and downgrading the runway condition code accordingly should be considered. if driving a vehicle over the frost does not result in tyre tracks down the bare pavement, the frost should be considered to have sufficient depth to consider a downgrade of the runway condition code.

Water - Water in a liquid state. Ice - Frozen Water Wet Ice - Ice with a layer of water on top of it or ice that is melting.

37
Q

Explain a “Slippery When Wet Runway”

A

Slippery When Wet Runway:

A runway where a friction survey, conducted for pavement evaluation/friction deterioration per Advisory Circular 150/5320-12C (or later revision), shows that more than 25 percent of the runway length does not meet the minimum friction level classification specified in Table 3-2 of that AC. The airport operator should assign and report a runway condition code of 3 for all applicable thirds of the runway when wet under this condition. If less than 25 percent of the runway fails the friction evaluation, the airport operator should report runway condition codes of 5 for the applicable runway thirds when the runway is wet, and report the deteriorated condition of the runway through the normal airport NOTAM system.

38
Q

When can we NOT use the assumed temperature method?

A

Assumed Temp Method (ATM) should not be used when the runway is contaminated with any standing water/snow/slush or ice.

It may be used for WET runway

Use full rated thrust for windshear conditions.

39
Q

What is the definition of a contaminated runway?

A

More than 25% of the runway is covered by any depth of slush, ice, dry or wet snow, or frost, or by water more than 3mm deep.

40
Q

What is EFA’s contaminated runway policy?

A

EFA policy is a landing should NOT be attempted on a contaminated runway with a breaking action reported as ‘poor’ unless a greater emergency exists (FCOM SP. 16.17)

Very Heavy Rain should be classified as contaminated with poor breaking action.

Do not use ATM for take-off

41
Q

If a moderate to heavy shower was over the runway what would you do?

A

Think about holding till it has passed

Flap 30

Auto brakes minimum 4

Touchdown in a crab if runway is slippery

Firm touch down as near to the centre line as possible

Maximum reverse thrust

42
Q

What are the main deck door wind limits?

A

65kts full open

40Kts opening or closing

17000’ max for Bleed Load

43100’ for electrical load

44
Q

What are the starter limits?

A

5min ON with 30 sec OFF for every 30 min ON

Re-engagement

0 - 20% N2 = NORMAL

20-30% N2 = FIRE

> 30% N2 = will cause damage

Q

What are the new crosswind limits?

A

DRY 40/40

WET 25/40

GOOD 25/40

GOOD- MEDIUM 20/35

MEDIUM 17/25

MEDIUM to POOR 15/17

POOR 13/15

46
Q

What are some considerations when operating at non-towered aerodromes?

A
  • Max use of autopilot and autothrottle to aid in external vigilance
  • checklists early and no talking to company down low
  • be conservitive with traffic seperation
  • min 1000’ vertical if possible
  • ALL lights on when climbing and decsending in Non-radar class E and all class G
  • MCP alt procedures
    • Desent = set LSALT,MORA,MSA when given clearence to leave controlled airspace on descent. once visual terrain seperation is assured set cct alt
    • departure = Set lower level of controlled airspace, untill clearence is obtained
    • MCP can be used at intermediatry levels to assist with traffic seperation.
  • Circuit entry
    • Vissual app from 15NM must be max clean maneouver speed
    • Flap 5 speed for CCT entry
    • Straight in approach may only be completed if the prevailing WX conditions and communications are acceptable. If any doubt exsits then you should join crosswind, Downwind or upwind
