Q

Scenario: you’re taking off into icing conditions and AWP computes a PACKS OFF takeoff. What might be a threat?

A

Normally with PACKS OFF we will run the APU bleed instead, but the APU bleed is not allowed to be used for wing anti-ice, and a limitation would be exceeded.

Q

Do AWP landing distances take into account a 15% safety margin?

A

The displayed distances for NONE, LOW and MED auto brake do not display a 15% margin and are actual landing distances BUT they will not display at all if the landing distance isn’t within the margin. The min req length DOES include a 15% margin

Q

What is the best way to make a 180 degree turn on a runway?

A

Taxi 1st to the right of the runway, then towards the left side with approx a 25 degree angle between the plane and the runway. When you’re over the runway edge turn the nosewheel fully right and use ENG 1 power only (35%) to turn.

21
Q

Define icing conditions

A

Anytime the temp is 10C or lower and there is visible moisture (or vis is less than 1sm) down to -40C SAT

22
Q

Can you single engine taxi in icing conditions?

A

No

23
Q

If you put the EXTRACT button into override to keep rain from entering the avionics bay prior to departure, when would you put it back to AUTO?

A

After takeoff

24
Q

Which computer provides reactive Windshear information and when?

A

The FAC - from just after liftoff to 1300’ and from 1300’ down to 50’ on landing.

25
Q

How far does Predictive Windshear look ahead?

A

5 nm

26
Q

When are Predictive windshear alerts inhibited?

A

Takeoff up to 50’ and landing below 50’

27
Q

How far should you avoid red/magenta areas on the radar?

A

Below FL230: 5 to 10 mi
Above FL230: 20 mi

28
Q

You must overtop all convective cells by at least how many feet?

A

5000’

29
Q

If the top of a cell is above what altitude would you avoid overtopping it all together?

A

25,000’

30
Q

What go around climb gradients can Frontier accept?

A

Anything under 15.4% or 937’ per nm.

31
Q

Which is the only approach that requires us to manually tune and monitor?

A

VOR approach. Manually tune the navaid, enter the final approach course, have the needle displayed, and make sure the ID is on the PFD. If not you must do an aural check of the ID

32
Q

What is the only time an MDA is used and not a DDA?

A

Circle to land maneuvers

33
Q

What is the best way to set up for a circle to land manuever?

A

Enter the instrument approach in the Primary flight plan, and in the secondary flight plan enter the intended landing runway without an approach. Circle at MDA or 1000 AFE, whichever is higher in CONFIG 3

34
Q

What weather mins do you need for a circling manuever?

A

1000’ cloud base AFE and 3sm vis or the charted mins. Whichever is higher

35
Q

How do you determine the single engine missed approach altitude?

A

1000 AFE for visual app or app without mins (CAT3B), 1000 above charted approach mins, OR whatever is stipulated by special engine out procedures

36
Q

What are typical CAT2 mins?

A

A DH of no less than 100’ and an RVR not less than 1000

37
Q

On a CAT 1 approach, what visual references are needed to continue below the DA?

A

Approach lights, but no lower than 100’ above TDZE. After that you need the runway environment (red terminating lights, threshold, PAPI, runway lights, etc) in sight

38
Q

To continue a CAT 2 approach what do you need?

A

If the DA/DH is 150’ - a segment of the approach light system to go down to 100’, then you need touchdown zone lights

If the DA/DH is 100’ - touchdown zone lights

39
Q

For a CAT III approach with a DH what do you need to continue to land?

A

A visual references to confirm you will touchdown in the touchdown zone

40
Q

For Autoland wind Limitations do we use the ND wind display or tower reported winds?

A

Tower reported winds

41
Q

What are the four different checks that provide a crew with the CAT status of a plane?

A

1) Logbook
2) MEL
3) Release
4) Landing Status Indicator on PFD

42
Q

What is ALIGN SUB-MODE?

A

It’s a function of LAND and it decrabs the plane at 30’

43
Q

What causes the AUTOLAND light to come on during an approach?

A

Excessive LOC or GS deviation
A/P disconnects
ILS failure
Difference between RA’s is more than 15’

44
Q

Should you go around during an autoland if you get a downgrade/triple click?

A

Yes

45
Q

What should you do if an engine fails prior to the FAF on a CAT2/3 approach and the weather is below CAT1?

A

Proceed to the nearest suitable alternate with weather above CAT1 minimums.

46
Q

What should you do if an engine fails beyond the FAF on a CAT2/3 approach and weather is below CAT1 mins?

A

Execute a missed approach unless using emergency authority

47
Q

What should you do if an engine fails at or beyond the DA/DH or AH on a CAT2/3 approach?

A

CAT2 - continue if visual references are sufficient
CAT3 - continue

48
Q

What are the three strategies for an engine failure at cruise?

A

1) Standard - Mach .78 or 300 knots, MCT. Long range cruise ceiling and speed once you’re there.
2) Obstacle - Green Dot, MCT. Once obstacles cleared revert to standard strategy
3) Fixed Speed - MMO/320 knots, MCT. aka high speed strategy

49
Q

What is the procedure for engine out at cruise?

A

Set thrust levers to MCT
Disconnect A/THR
Determine strategy and EO ceiling
Set speed and PULL.
Set altitude and PULL
When V/S is less than 500’/min, pull for V/S, A/THR ON

50
Q

Why do we disconnect Auto thrust when we have an engine failure at cruise?

A

So that thrust does not reduce when we set MCT and OPEN DES.
