Technical Questions + Briefing Items Flashcards
What is you company’s windshear escape procedure?
PM: “Max thrust”
*set max thrust/press toga
autopilot and autothrottles off
follow guidance on the MFD
no reconfiguration until clear of contact
You are cleared to descend via, what does that mean?
set bottom altitude on the chart
first briefing item
- Identify threat (personal/environmental/technical)
second briefing item
fuel plan
-fuel required
-FOB
-fuel burn
third briefing item
MX/Maintenace status
forth briefing item
Taxi plan/route/hotspots
fifth briefing item
reject criteria
Prior to 80 knots, we will reject for any abnormalities/above 80 knots and below V1 we will only reject for any fire/engine failure/stagnant airspeed or any other conditions unsafe for flight/ after V1 we will not reject/I fly you fix, plan on returning to the field if weather allows us
What do you do if you are pulled off a SID with climb via clearance
No longer required to maintain the restrictions. Ask ATC for altitude if not given prior
Can you walk me through your company’s V1 abort procedure
If the captain isnt the PF:
1. Exchange controls
2. PF brakes as nessary
3. FO notifies ATC
4. FO calls “60 knots”
FL350 decend to 12,000/what distance to start the descent
Altitude Difference x 3
How do you calculate a descent with 3 degree angle
Take ground speed divide it 60 then multiply it by 300
ex. (210kts/60) x 300: FPM
Stabilized approach criteria
Aircraft must be configured for landing prior to 1.000’ above field elevation
Airspeed cannot be more than 10kts above VAPP
airspeed cannot not be below 5kts below VAPP
On proper flight path and sink rate
engines spooled
What is your company’s engine failure procedure?
We would reference the QRH/those items:
W/ seperation or damage suspected
-Autotrottles Off
-thrust lever idle
-start/stop stop
- Associated fire handle pull/then rotate
Otherwise:
-autothrottles off
- assocated throttle idle
Autorelight:
-Check FOB
-Monitor engine parameters
- Communicate a plan
What are your companies Go Around callouts
PF: Go Around Flaps 2
PM: Thrust Checked
PM: Positive Rate
PF: Gear Up
PF: FMS NAV/Heading
PF: VNAV/FLCH 210
PF: Flaps 1
PF: Faps Up
PM: Flaps Up
PF: After Takeoff checklist
What is your companies Go Around Procedure?
PF: Go around flaps 2
TOGA follow FD
How far out should you start your descent when descending from FL270 to 7000’ at 290kts and told to slow to 230 before 7,000kts
3:1 method
27-7=20
20*3=60
10kts per 1nm
290-230= 60
60/10=6
Take calculation 1 and add calculation 2
60+6= 66
therefore it will take 6nm
What would you do if you get a “door unlocked” message in flight.
refer to the QRH
my aircraft:
Fasten seatbelt
check pressurization
If normal verify door is armed (two green indicators)
if not green land at the nearest suitable airport
decend to 10000 or below
press dump
ask FA or jump seater to inspect
What are your holding speeds?
Up to 6000: 200
6001 to 14000: 230
14001 and above: 265
What do you do if IDG fails
refer to qrh
How to find bingo
Reserve fuel+fuel to furthest alternate+fuel to destination
What is the difference between minimum fuel and emergency fuel
Minimum Fuel:
The purpose is to notify ATC that we can no longer accept vector or else it will become an emergency
Emergency fuel:
This gives priority.
Can you calculate a 10,000’ descent at 420kts w/ 3 degree angle
First altitude lost x 3
10*3 = 30
30nm is the distance to start
The for descent rate ground speed/60 * 300
(420/60) x 300= 2,100
There for you must start the descent 30nm out and have a descent rate of at least 2,100FPM
What altitude should you input if your descend via or climb via the STAR/SID?
SID: Top Altitude
STAR: Bottom Altitude
How do you fly V1 cut
Maintain direction control (centerline ideally)
rotate as you normally would
CALLOUT
PM: Positive Rate
PF: Gear up
PF: Select EO sid (if applicable)
PF: NAV
PF: Heading Bank
PF: FLCH VFS
Retract flaps
PF: Continuous/bank
What is TEM?
Threat and error management
DH vs DA?
DH: AGL
DA: MSL
What is MSA
Minimum Safe Altitude
Terrain and obstacle clearance with 1,000’ of clearance within a 25nm radius
What is GRID MORA
Off route altitude that provides 1000’ clearance from elevations at 5000’ MSL or lower and 2000’ clearance from elevations at 5001’MSL or higher
Where can you find MSA on a SID?
Magenta circle/ring
What kind of ALS at airport
Jepp 20-9a
When would you need a takeoff alternate?
Weather below landing minimums at departure airport
