SOPs 2 Flashcards
If it is necessary to pressurise the hydraulics on the ground, what is the procedure?
A clearance to ground crew must be requested. Crew should be ready to pressurise immediately. If not, the clearance should be requested again at the appropriate time
What are the requests made to ground to release the brake and push back?
‘ground request clearance to release the brakes and hold position’.
‘ground we are ready for push back’
After push back with park break set what should occur next, why is this important
‘ready for disconnect’ to ground crew
To minimise risk to ground crew, this should occur at the earliest opportunity in accordance with the FCOM
What is the warning regarding taxi y or runway turn off lights use on the ground?
They must not be switched on at anytime the tug is attached to the aircraft or any person is suspected to be in close proximity to the lights
Regarding the runway surface, when must a take off not be attempted?
If runway condition is ‘ice cold and dry’ or braking action reported as 1 poor, or 0 less then poor, very poor or nil
What is the procedure for take off and landing clearance
PM reads back to ATC, all other flight crew acknowledge with “take off clearance confirmed”
What are the different take off minima and the requirements?
Standard 800 and 550 350 REDL not exceeding 60m RCLM or illuminated RCLL RV or RVR for TDZ and either MID or END 200 REDL RCLL TDZ and either MID or END 150 REDL RCLL TDZ, MID and END 125 REDL RCLL not exceeding 15m TDZ, MID and END
What is the minimum height for thrust reduction and other requirements?
800ft above surrounding terrain
Reduce thrust only to an extent that a safe rate of climb and specified speeds can be maintained
What are the noise abatement departure procedures NADP 2 (ICAO B) which is preferable and also the other NADP 1? How about ICAO A
NADP 2/ICAO B
Reduce thrust at 1000HAT
Accelerating to green dot speed until 3000HAT
Accelerating to enroute climb speed at 3000 HAT
NADP 1
Reduce thrust at 1000HAT
Maintaining V2 +10 - 20 to 3000HAT
IF ICAO A same bit thrust reduction at 1500ft HAA
Can a pilot accept a wake turbulence waiver?
Wake turbulence pilot waivers are not too be sought out accepted under any circumstances
When are the sterile flight deck periods?
From when the last door is closed on departure until the seat belt sign is switched to AUTO/OFF
From Prepare the cabin PA to arrival at the terminal
What should crew regularly update on the FMS
Wind, temperature and tropopause values
What are the requirements to conduct an RNAV overlayed approach?
The underlying nav aid must not have been decommissioned or nav aid withdrawn
Procedure is extracted from database and not manually constructed
Procedure extracted chart checked to comply with charted procedure
GPS PRIMARY checked prior to commencing if GPS PRIMARY LOST displayed on both NDs in IMC conduct missed approach
If cross track error exceeds 0.3nm conduct missed approach
Only a single GNSS receiver required
When is an enroute FMS position check required?
Where GPS receivers are not installed check prior to descent into the terminal area. Additional enroute checks are recommended if system performance is determined to be in question.
During changing watch what should the pilot on watch and/or support pilot include in the brief to the subsequent pilot on watch?
Route airway or diversion being flown Flight level, any planned or cleared level, safety heights Speed schedule being maintained Terminal and enroute weather report Fuel management Any other matters of importance
Pilot taking over should also review ECAM MEMO and SYS pages and brief support pilot on communications and flight progress
