Q

When do you pitch 5 deg for the descend?

A

After requesting GEAR DOWN FLAPS 20.

22
Q

How many feet per minute are you looking for with gear down, flaps 20 and pitch 5 deg on base?

A

500ftm.

23
Q

When do you select flaps 30?

A

Runway is sight and 2 white 2 red papi.

24
Q

What do you do when you select flaps 30 with thrust?

A

reduce 3% N1.

25
Q

What is your configuration on downwind?

A

Flaps 10, thrust 67% N1, 8deg pitch, 2nm parallel from landing RWY?

26
Q

Why do you aim for 2 NM from the RWY?

A

2nm = slightly more than whats needed for a 180deg turn at 170kts GS with bank 25. (1.8nm exact.)

27
Q

Why build a 5nm circle around the airport.

A

If you’re inside the 5nm circle you are at the correct distance normally for the pattern.

28
Q

How du you make sure you level off at 1500 AAL for the traffic pattern?

A

Start reducing thrust at 300ft below TPA (1500AAL)

29
Q

What should you be aware of turning downwind?

A

You will most likely still be turning reaching TPA.

30
Q

When you start reducing power for TPA what do you pitch for?

A

8deg UP.

31
Q

Power setting downwind?

A

67%

32
Q

When do you accelerate to flaps 10 speed during climb.?

A

at 1000AAL on crosswind.

33
Q

How do you adjust downwind for strong headwind on final

A

reduce time by approximately 1 second for ever 1 kts headwind on final.

34
Q

What altitude should you have 3nm prior to threshold?

A

900-1000ft.

35
Q

Why do you only descend 500fpm on base?

A

Descending 7-800ft on base will make you low on final?

36
Q

When do you turn crosswind and at what speed?

A

500ft and at V2- V2+25kts.

37
Q

What is the main thing to think about on downwind? 4 items.

A
  • 2nm from RWY
  • correct speed
  • altitude
  • configuration
38
Q

Whats the goal of this way of flying the traffic pattern?

A

Minimise thrust changes and fly the approach smooth

39
Q

When do you do landing checklist?

A

On final

40
Q

When do you need to be wings level?

A

500ft AAL

41
Q

Are you stabilised at 1000ft if you’re still turning final?

A

YES, you are on the correct PATH. (stabilised criteria)

42
Q

Were did I find pitch 8deg and power 67% from, to use on downwind?

A

Unreliable airspeed in flight interpolation from several weights.

43
Q

Do you select landing flaps on final or base?

A

When you see the RWY and you can tell you visually or by the PAPI you are on path.

44
Q

How long final should you have to be stabilised on final?

A

Ideally 2nm which is 600ft final. Since criteria is before 500ft wings level. Wings

45
Q

When calling for flaps PM must answer?

A

“flaps moving____”

46
Q

When calling for gear down flaps 20 PM must answer?

A

” flaps moving 20”

Q

Loss of IAS during traffic patter?

A

10pitch 90% power

49
Q

What do you do if you get W/S in a traffic pattern?

A

Stop traffic pattern and Perform Windshear escape manuver .

50
Q

Indication of windshear?

A

+/-500fpm
+/-15kts
+/-5deg pitch
Unsuaual thrust.
