What is a gotcha when setting up a new hold?
Don’t put anything behind it or you will not ever get there
It will smart turn early especially where there are shape angles.
What should you do when starting the APU?
(3)
Batt on for fire protection
Status page up
Electrical page up
How should you set the descent angle?
Max?
0.1 +/- 2.7 for every 25 Kts of headwind/tailwind
MAX of +/- 0.4
Eg 50 kt headwind +0.2 set 2.9
Eg 25 kt tailwind +0.1 set 2.6
( look at the deck winds on the flight plan pg 5 above the ICAO flight plan)
How do you do a user defined wpt
Pos report
TCP - PFD/NAV - TRUE
Read off the WPT which is for the previous track and dist
When needing a higher climb rate what can you do?
THRUST at bottom of PERF page
CLB then immediately select auto (pink)
What is the OEI engin shutdown Taxi
Procedure?
“3 Minutes”
APU on
PTU ON - left ENG,
HYD 2B ON - right ENG,
THR LVR idle
“Confirm left ENG RUN SWITCH”
“OFF” - “OFF”
What does it mean subject to landing?
Means bad weather and you might not get to destination. Pa required.
Where can you get information about flap retraction speeds and green dot?
FMS
PERF
Departure
How can you control the speed if close to the overspeed in descent?
Use FLC which will target the speed instead of the path
How do you determine how long you can hold for?
Look at the flight log (pg 5)EFOB and MFOB
Adjust the EFC until you have the MFOB
(Change the alternate destination on the FPL page and adjusts fuel)
Unless you are VMC, then you can go NAIFR (450Kg)
How can you get a quick 5 nm far from any runway (Visual approach)?
Route page
Direct to soft button
Airport on the left runway on the right, gives the Rwy length.
Select and gives a 5 nm faf (1,500 ft)
How do we enter descend 20 sm south (closer to) of a waypoint? (2 ways)
Select the snow flake next to the point and select the distance as a +/-
or
YBR180/20
Then ensure that the new point is before the YBR point.
Where can you get accurate OEI Driftdown altitude?
QRH
Performance charts pg 20
When do you write an ASR?
Checklist in Pink in back of QRH
(12.2.2 Aircraft Incidents, Emergencies, and Reportable Safety Events)
Best way to get enroute weather?
CNS/weather/other
AF/R/681 (FLT #)
When descending on the VPATH if you select VFLC you will get a YELLOW VPATH, why?
Because the VPATH is temporality declutched so you can manually descend away from the path without it recapturing.
(Recaptures approx 300 ft) use desc page
What is the cross wind landing technique on the 220?
AP off after 500’ call
Use only rudder to align the centreline at 50’
If aileron is required move joystick but do not hold input, put in and then neutral.
(AC banks slightly when rudder applied)
What is the best way to do a quick runway change?
Direct button/Nearest (8000)
DEP/ARR
Extend off IF
(V Speeds
DH/MDA)
We’re can you find the delay codes?
Ac tab coverage
Where is WATRS information found?
Saba cloud Overseas briefing
P-EFB/All Fleets/RBN Americas/WATRS
Jepp/Pub/South American/WATRS Ops Policy
Brainscape questions
QRHN back
(Better place is the QRHN flow chart)
Is the A220 approved for Benign ETOPS?
Yes
(WATRS Plus is area around Bermuda that has VHF + Radar)
(75 min 480nm)
When you get an additive for say flap fail (41kts) where do you put the 41 Kts?
Place it in the Vref box and the Vga and Vac
(Write them down first)
If not stable at 500 and corrections being made what happens to the stable call?
It’s moved to 200 gate
What are the stable landing calls when aircraft is not stable below 500 (4), and in the flare (3)
Loc
GS
Speed
VS
(Stable call moves to 200)
Flare:
Floating
Drifting
Go around
Response is Correcting or Go Around
When is an Eng considered operational for non normal situations? (2)
EGT and Fuel flow present
Where is the temperature sensor for the flight deck located?
Behind the captians seat
What type of reports are there and when do you use them? (5)
ASR - accident or incident or safety concern - deidentified
Voyage report - operation issues - MLO
Hazard
OHS report - workplace safety issue
Work related injury/illness
Where is Sup Techniques?
AOM VOL 1 Supplemental Techniques
When reviewing the flight plan with user defined wpts what technique can you use to check the WPT1?
Click on the WPT1 on the Route/legs page the LAT/LONG will show in the scratch pad
CLR/DEL button to erase from the pad
Then just move your cursor away
How can you change the Transponder from 1 to 2 quickly?
Hit the L3 button on the TCP x2 to open the page to select transponder
Where is the Fuel Calculator?
PERF CRZ
TOW MAX on OFP shows 62.1T
What does that mean?
L?
C?
T - TOW, take off WAT or Terrain clearance
L - Landing Wt at destination (57,833)
C - Capacity, limited by max fuel capacity of AC
What must you be aware of after a TCAS event?
during a TCAS TA or RA: The MAP display de-clutters,
and WX must be re-selected following the TA or RA, if desired.
(Same with TAWS)
Can you modify a MEL speed adder
No

What ACARS code do you use to communicate to other AC aircraft?
0000+fin
(0000115)
You get “FMS PERF DEP VSPEEDS” caution message and VSPD OUT OF RANGE” and it won’t accept WAT numbers, 2 options?
Change the departure runway, execute, then change back.
Or
Switch T/O speeds then reselect proper speeds. ( or power setting higher to TO)

When do we add the 50 ft to an RNAV MDA?
Only on LNAV minimum
(Not LNAV/VNAV)

(In Pressurization box)
Where is Fuel Used found?

When you walk into the aircraft, if the CMS panel is powered on with a dark flight deck what should you do?
turn right around and go down the bridge and take the grnd service bus offline.
(biggest clue to knowing whether that bus is powered)
CAS MISCOMPARE after push back
No dispatch
Set all PTT/INT switches in flight deck
Have ground guys push “ Grd Call” button outside
