Volume 2 Material Flashcards
When must the PM tune radios?
Anytime below 18,000’
Must the FD orders be obeyed when hand flying?
Yes
What are we looking for when checking PBE?
Blue humidity indicator and green tamper seal
Who checks expiration dates of emergency equipment?
MCC
When is a full ADIRU alignment required?
1) first flight of the day
2) crew change
3) GPS is not available and poor navaid coverage
4) GPS is not available and flight longer than 3 hrs
5) international and Alaska flights
6) Class 2 flights
How long after arriving at the gate should you wait before powering off ADIRU’s?
5 mins
What temps should you avoid applying the parking brake?
350 with fans on or 500 with fans off.
If flight control positions do not agree with handle positions what should you do?
Contact MCC
What is an acceptable hydraulic level when checking at the gate?
Up to half over the normal fill range except for 321NEO’s and 320NEO’s 384 and up
When do we use LO on the flow selector for the PACKS?
Below 141 pax on the 320’s or below 168 on 321NEO’s. ECON on 321CEO’s
What is the battery test?
Turn off batts, turn on. Wait 10 seconds and then check that current is 60A or less and decreasing
Why must the fuel selector switch not be in the MAN position when on the ground?
Fuel spillage may occur when refueling
How long should we wait before using any buttons after initial power up?
3 mins
Why must we verify the ZFW/ZFWCG on INIT B?
This is how Green Dot, F, S, and VLS speeds are generated
If you don’t have ACARS how would you get the takeoff data and the ZFW/ZFWCG?
TLR for takeoff speeds, flex setting, and flap setting.
cFDP app for the ZFW/zfwcg
Prior to push you notice that NW Steering DISC is not displayed but the ground crew confirms the pin is in. What would you do?
Call MCC
With the parking brake ON the aircraft starts to roll. What should you do?
Release the parking brake and use the toe brakes
Why must the engines be stabilized before takeoff (warm up period?)
Avoid thermal shock and to ensure they are not being fed from the center tank
If ground crew noticed a fuel leak from the engine during start what must be done?
On a 321NEO - abort the start, call MCC
All other aircraft: if the leak stops within 5 mins you’re good to go, otherwise shut it down and call MCC
Why do we use the Yellow electric pump when single engine taxiing?
Nosewheel steering is on the Yellow system
If both Radar and Terrain are needed in a flight which pilot displays which?
PF displays RADAR, PM displays Terrain
When should we use Ignition?
Standing water, heavy rain, or heavy or moderate turbulence is expected including just prior to takeoff
Is the last minute changes before takeoff card required?
No, but it’s smart to use
What are the target pitch attitudes after rotation for normal takeoffs, single engine, and windshear?
15, 12.5, 17.5 then follow SRS orders
How do you conduct a Terrain Analysis?
Use the Flysmart Inflight DES OEI app. Then compare this altitude to the proposed new routing
Why do we enter 0.1 (prev 0.3) on the PROG page for RNAV approaches?
It’ll alert the crew if accuracy drops below that, and during a go-around it’ll normally default back to 1.0 when we still want better accuracy
If you select IMM EXIT from a hold what happens?
The aircraft proceeds directly back to the hold fix and exits the hold
What should you be aware of when using Engine anti ice esp while on the ground?
Higher engine idle speeds
After parking the engine fails to shut down. What do you do?
Select the Master back to ON, then OFF. If it still does not shut down use the affected ENG FIRE pushbutton. This however can take up to 2.5 mins to shut the engine down
If there is an APU fire with the batteries off, will the APU fire bottle discharge?
No. There will be no APU fire protection at all
In addition to confirming all thrust levers, guarded switches, and engine masters, what other switches must be confirmed in flight prior to operating?
IR selectors
What is the order of operation for emergency situations?
Memory Items
OEB’s
ECAM
QRH
If the ECAM procedure requires the crew to APPLY an eQRH procedure should the crew finish the ECAM or do the procedure.
Do the procedure. The exception is if the ECAM says “Consider”
What are some uninhibited ECAM’s on takeoff?
Sidestick fault, dual engine failure, engine fire, APU fire, FWC 1 and 2 fault, dual input
Prior to the STATUS page while working ECAM actions what will the crew do?
Stop ECAM, consider a relight if it was an engine failure with no damage, consider system resets, perform the after takeoff or any other applicable checklist
What is an ECAM advisory?
It calls crew attention to a parameter that is about to exceed a limitation
Explain the roles of the Capt and FO during an evacuation
FO - proceeds to the cabin, exits the aircraft and assists passengers on the ground.
Capt - last person to leave the aircraft, through the rear door if possible to check cabin for passengers. Once outside takes command of ops until rescue operations arrive
If you get an odor in the Cockpit what might you consider?
Elimination of odors in the Cockpit/cabin in Vol 2. If at anytime there is smoke coming from the avionics compartment or if the avionics smoke ECAM appears, or Fumes that smell like pine needles or orange peels: apply the SMOKE/FUMES procedure
When is the ECAM inhibited on takeoff? For landing?
Takeoff - 80 knots to 1500’ or 2 mins
Landing: - 800’ to 80 knots
What is the difference between the low and high speed abort regime? What should be considered?
Below 100 knots - low speed regime, abort for any ECAM
Above 100 knots and below V1 - high speed regime. Should be go-minded. Abort should only be done for uninhibited ECAMS, fires, loss of control, loss of engine thrust, etc
Below what speed will the auto brakes not activate during a rejected takeoff? Why?
Below 72knots. Because the spoilers will not deploy and auto brake functioning is based on spoiler activation.
When is Predictive Windshear active?
Takeoff roll until 100 knots
Below 2300’ and active below 1500’
Can you change aircraft config with a Predictive Windshear warning? Reactive Windshear?
Predictive - yes
Reactive - no
What is ground Speed mini?
The FMGC takes into account wind speed and VAPP to maintain a constant ground Speed during an approach preserving the energy state of the airplane. Only available in managed speed.
