Question 1

When operating below MSA

Answer 1

PF must be on the control hands and feet

Question 2

When operating below 10,000ft

Answer 2

No non-operational convo or at times of high work load

Question 3

FMC (MCP)

Answer 3

PF can I put if checked with PM and with autopilot engaged

Without AP PF must ask PM

Question 4

Below cruise alt

Answer 4

Could hand over control to set the a/c for the app and brief the app

Question 5

Altimeters

Answer 5

Pre flight T/o

QNH maximum 50ft off datum 50ft of one another

Climb/cruise
PF calls set std
Both pilots set std
Pm call std cross checked, passing FL …now
PF responds checked
On passing MSA and cleared to FL PM sets 1013 on standby

When PM revives arrival ATIS pm sets arrival QNH on standby

Decent/landing 
When cleared to alt
PF set QNH  calls SET QNH
Both pilots set QNH and PM calls Cross Checked passing …… now
PF responds Checked 

Passing 1000
PM one thousand to go
PF checked

Passing FL100
PM “FL100”
PF “checked altimeter set, climbing/descending FL/alt

If making a large decent (greater than 2-3000ft) altimeter settings can be done during the decent. If short decent they must be initiated before the decent

Question 6

AFDS

Answer 6

All green FMA changes will be verbalised by the PF

PM checked

If unchecked after 10seconds PM will print with “FMA” and ensure PF responds with correct FMA call

Question 7

Bank Angle limitation

Answer 7

15 deg

• below V2 +15
• below 400ft Radio alt
• limit of 25 deg when FD is off

Question 8

Climb + descent

Answer 8

If level change is small
Select VS 1000fpm

If large use Flt Level change

Question 9

Comms

Answer 9

PM responsibility

Apart from before/during anyone start and initial taxi instruction

VHF1 for comms
VHF2 for atis

Question 10

Flap selection /configuration change

Answer 10

PF - Flap 1
PM- speed checked Flap 1

Speed not increased above clean until
PM-“flaps up, no lights”

PF- landing gear down
PM- landing gear down (after checking speeds)

Do not make further flap selections until with 10kts of target speed

Question 11

Icing conditions

Answer 11

Always on when I’m icing conditions

OAT (for take off and ground) 
TAT (in flight) 
Is at or below 10 deg 
In visible moisture 
(Low vis below 1500m)
Or standing water , slush or ice on tw or rwy

Engine anti ice is on when icing conditions are anticipated at altitude

Question 12

Engine start

Answer 12

Engine 1 started first

Question 13

Locked door policy

Answer 13

From engine start to shutdown

Question 14

PM deviations call

Answer 14

Course +-5 deg
Hdg +- 10
Alt +- 100ft
Speed +10 -5 or below V2
Glide/Loc. 1/2 scale deflection 

Thrust Unusual thrust lever position
Sink rate Greater than 1000/min when below 1000aal
Bank greater than 7

Question 15

Non - precision app

Answer 15

Flown to CDFA minima

Or MDA + 50ft if CDFA not available

Question 16

PEDs briefing

Answer 16

PF confirms

Performance- confirm flap position 
EOSID - standard / no standard Sid 
(Engine outstandard ) 
Engine Anti ICE 
Departure - rwy Sid check atc clr
Stop Alt - confirm MCP against Sid

Question 17

Revers Thrust

Answer 17

Normal procedure is to use idle reverse thrust not full reverse thrust as it puts too much pressure on the brakes and tyres. This is up to 74% N1

Question 18

Taxing + breaking

Answer 18

30kts with no restrictions on long taxi ways

10kts on corners
