Question 2

you are taxiing and you observe a RED light from the tower, what does it mean?

Answer 2

RED means STOP

Question 3

aborted engine start? (5)

Answer 3

EGT does not increase 20s after FC to RUN
N1, NO rotation when EGT increase
EGT quickly nears or exceed EGT limits
N2 not at idle 2 mins after FC to RUN
OIL press not normal when engine stabilized idle

Question 4

What is Max Motoring? PW, RR

Answer 4

PW: Minimum N2 18%, N2 acceleration less than 1% in 5s
RR: minimum N3 15%, N2 and N3 acceleration less than 1% in 5s

Question 5

gives RR re-engagment speed? normal, recommended

Answer 5

Normal: 0% to 20% N3
Recommended: 0% N3

Question 6

When do you start the APU? earlier start?

Answer 6

CA discretion. normally 10mins befor push
earlier start: for Air condition or elec, on critical flight or international flight to avoid delays resulting from APU start problems

Question 7

Important documents on board (11+2)

Answer 7

certificate of registration
certificate of airworthiness
airworthiness review certificate
noise certificate
aircraft radio license
approval for MNPS/RVSM
weighing report
air operator certificate
continuing airworthiness management organisation approval certificate
certificate of insurance
VAT exemption certificate +
US CBP landing right EWR and JFK

Question 8

RR engine start particularities, EGT 3 cases?

Answer 8

EGT between 1°C and 100°C: normal
EGT at 0°C: FC to RICH then TO RUN when engine stabilized
EGT above 100°C: motor below 100°C before FC to RUN

Question 9

Manual Raw data when? (4)

Answer 9

dailight only
not above FL200
not during TS activity
not with cloud ceiling less than 1000ft above DH
briefing during approach
use "1000ft, manual thrust"

Question 10

why does the FO start watch during engine start?

Answer 10

to time oil pressure rising
time to EGT rise
to monitor starter limits
to verify that VALVE light disappear after 5s

Question 11

When is the engine is stabilized?

Answer 11

when MAX EGT line disappears and starting EGT peaks

Question 12

What are the FO limits? (3)

Answer 12

no TO in Vz BELOW 400m
CATI and NPA, autoland in CATI OK
RWY lenght ABOVE 6000ft

Question 13

When do you perform a Full thrust? (5)

Answer 13

LVP in force, RVR<400m
WS in area or LLWS in effect, TS in the area
MEL required it
RWY is defined as slippery
Captain discretion

Question 14

What is the CARD code for full thrust?

Answer 14

56

Question 15

engine failure on TO, any consideration?

Answer 15

not mandatory but could use full thrust it improves margins and reduce time to clear up by 50%

Question 16

taxi speed? vacating RWY, straight line taxiway, on the appron, on a turn 45° or greater, on cont RWY and during LVO?

Answer 16

40Kts RWY to vacate 
30Kts straight line taxiways
15Kts on appron
10Kts turn 45° or greater
5Kts on contaminated RWY, appron, taxiways and during LVOs

Question 17

define slippery surface?

Answer 17

any surface where braking capability is less than on a dry surface
surface is considered slippery when it is wet or contaminated with ice, standing water, slush, snow or any other deposit that results in reduces braking capability

Question 18

DRY RWY?

Answer 18

neither wet nor contaminated

Question 19

DAMP RWY?

Answer 19

surfaces is not dry but moisture does not gives a shiny appearance

Question 20

WET RWY?

Answer 20

surface covered with water, appears reflective but without standing water, less than 3mm water

Question 21

CONTAMINATED RWY?

Answer 21

more than 25% of RWY covered with water more than 3mm deep, or slush, or loose snow.
snow compressed into solid mass, will hold together or break into lumps
ice, including wet ice

Question 22

Engine out taxi before TO? (3)

Answer 22

only L engine shutdown
not allowed in blowing snow
observe warm up time limit

Question 23

engine out taxi after landing? (7)

Answer 23

observe cool down limit
hydraulics systems fully serviceable
APU operating
generator on remaining eng serviceable
taxiway not contaminated with ice or snow
eng AI in not required
either eng may be shut down

Question 24

temp inversion on TO prep, any consideration?

Answer 24

temp above ISA+15°C: add 3°C to tower temp
