Question 1

In an RTO, which warning or caution would mean you could still continue with the takeoff?

Answer 1

FWS FWC 1+2 Fault

Question 2

In an RTO, below what speed will ground spoilers not automatically deploy?

Answer 2

72kts

Question 3

In an RTO, below what speed will autobrake not engage?

Answer 3

72kts

Question 4

In an RTO into a headwind, should you turn towards or away from a burning engine?

Answer 4

Towards

Question 5

In an RTO into a tailwind, should you turn towards or away from a burning engine?

Answer 5

Away from

Question 6

What are the FO responsibilities in an RTO?

Answer 6

Call “reverse green, decel”
Cancel audio warning and caution
Inform ATC “Stopping”
Call 70kts
Once stopped, bring out checklist as a precaution

Question 7

What are the captain’s responsibilities in an RTO?

Answer 7

Monitor braking, and if necessary apply manual brakes
Bring the aircraft to a stop
Stow reversers
Apply park brake
PA “Attention, crew at stations”

Question 8

In an RTO, immediately after the ‘memory items’, once captain has made the “Attention, crew at stations” PA, what is likely to happen?

Answer 8

Captain will say “My radios, ECAM actions” and work through the ECAM while the captain builds up a picture of whether an evacuation will be necessary or not

Question 9

In an RTO, after stopping using autobrake MAX, what do you need to remember before moving again?

Answer 9

Disarm spoilers to release the brakes

Question 10

Following an RTO, if a new takeoff is attempted, what will the process be?

Answer 10

Reset both FDs, reset the FCU and then restart SOPs from the After Start checklist.

Consider brake temperatures, especially noting that temperatures will still be rising for some time after the RTO

Question 11

During an EFATO, what should the initial speed target be?

Answer 11

Between V2 and V2+15kts

Question 12

During an EFATO, what should bank angle be limited to, when more than 3kts below the manoeuvring speed for the configuration?

Answer 12

15 degrees

(This is a conservative rule of thumb as if the engine out condition has been identified then the FD/AP will automatically limit the bank angle using a less conservative algorithm

Question 13

Why is selecting TOGA immediately after an EFATO potentially a handling challenge?

Answer 13

Because the aircraft may be blending from ground mode into flight mode. The blending (in pitch control) occurs initially once the aircraft achieves a pitch attitude of 8 degrees and lasts for 5 seconds.

The subsequent increase in thrust at this time may lead to a pitch up moment, resulting in a reduction of speed at a time when speed is critical

Question 14

During an EFATO when should you select AP on?

Answer 14

Once the aircraft is in trim with the gear fully up

Question 15

During an EFATO, when should you request “Pull heading”?

Answer 15

Early on in the event, before commencing ECAM drills. The exceptions are if the EOSID follows the actual SID, in which case NAV mode may be more appropriate, or if a very early turn is required on the EOSID, where the importance of the turn overrides the importance of trimming. These cases would be briefed prior to takeoff

Question 16

During an EFATO, what are the only failure-related actions that should be considered below 400ft?

Answer 16

If applicable, PM should state the title on the ECAM without specifying which engine is affected, but should delay confirmation. (eg. “ENG FAIL”)

Cancel any caution or warning message

Increase awareness of the possibility of forgetting ‘normal’ actions, such as calling rotate or positive climb etc.

Question 17

What are the three conditions for engine secure in an EFATO?

Answer 17

For an engine failure, the engine master switch of the affected engine turned off

For an engine failure with damage, the first agent discharged

For engine fire, one squib has been fired and the engine fire warning has been extinguished, or

If engine fire warning not extinguished, both squibs discharged

Question 18

At what point can you deviate from the EOSID procedure?

Answer 18

Once you reach the minimum sector safe altitude, or in VMC if you can ensure all obstacles can be cleared

Question 19

What speed should not be exceeded in an EFATO (for example if failure occurs at a higher speed)

Answer 19

If occurs at high speed, you should maintain the IAS at the time of the failure, however should not exceed V2+20kts

Question 20

In the event of an EFATO where the EOSID has a turn before the acceleration altitude, what speed and config should the turn be carried out in?

Answer 20

V2, with take off config
