1
Q

List the stable approach criteria.

A

Non-circling approach:

“CRAP WS”
C - Checklist completed
R - Rate of descent
A - Angle of bank
P - Path (vertical + lateral)
W - Wheels down (configuration)
S - Speed

These criteria SHOULD be met by 1000ft. If they are not, the approach may continue to 500ft if there is a good probability that they will be met.

CHECKLIST COMPLETED
Landing checklist must be complete by 500ft.

RATE OF DESCENT
Commensurate with approach path and speed

ANGLE OF BANK
15° or less

PATH (vertical)
- < 1 dot deviation (ILS glideslope)
- < ¾ dot deviation (V/DEV bar)
- < 100ft from vertical profile (for 2D approach)
- PAPI indicators not showing 4 reds or 4 whites

PATH (lateral)
- < 1 dot deviation (ILS LLZ)
- < 0.3nm XTK if using FINAL APP (not RNP-AR)
- < RNP specification if performing RNP-AR approach
- 30° of FAT for visual or circling approaches.

WHEELS DOWN
Landing configuration must have been achieved by 1000ft

SPEED
By 1000ft, speed must be less than VAPP +30kt
By 500ft, speed must be +10kt/-5kt.

For a circling approach, all of the above must be achieved by 400ft and additionally, for AoB, when within 30° of the runway axis, it must be <15°.
The “stable/not stable” call for a circling approach must be referenced to 400ft above TDZE.

Q

If 2 alternates are required, how much fuel should be loaded?

A

The larger amount (e.g., if alternate 1 requires 1.5T CNR and alternate 2 requires 1.3T, then the CNR applicable is 1.5T).

40
Q

On the OFP, alternate fuel is designated as “F” or “C”. Why?

A

“F” is a fuel alternate. This is chosen if a diversion is unlikely, considering weather conditions.
“C” is the commercial alternate is selected if a diversion is likely. Commercial alternates are numbered in terms of priority.

41
Q

What is the lowest system minima for a fail passive system?

A

DH: 50ft, RVR: 175m

08/05/24

42
Q

What is the maximum distance from an adequate aerodrome in the cruise?

What is its significance?

A

A319 - 380nm
A320 & A321 - 400nm

This is 1 hour’s flying at the one engine inoperative cruise speed (ISA, still air).

08/05/24

43
Q

Your departure airport is below the limits make an approach (but is still acceptable for departure). Discuss.

A

A take off alternate is required.

The take off alternate must be within 320nm (this is the OEI speed in ISA conditions and still air).

08/05/24

44
Q

What is the “missed approach climb gradient”?

A

If no MACG is specified, then 2.5% prevails.

Designing procedures is a highly specialised task that requires training and experience.

45
Q

What are the SOPs regarding brake temperatures at each phase of flight?

A

Taxi:
If arc is displayed over any brake temp (>100°C): put brake fans ON.

Before take off:
If brake fans have been used, temperature must be less than 150°C to take off.
Over 300°C: do not take off.

After landing:
Temp >500°C: brake fans ON without delay.
Otherwise, wait 5 mins before putting brake fans ON (unless turnaround time is short).

Parking:
Parking brake should be released after chocks in place if brake temp >500°C (brake fans off) or temp >350°C (brake fans on).

Q

What are the standard weights used in LMCs?

A

84kg for Male, Female or Child.

14/05/24

47
Q

Considering LMCs, how many passengers change will necessitate a new loadsheet?

A

+10
-20

48
Q

When should Vapp be modified in normal operations?

A
  • Vapp may be increased to a maximum of Vls+15kt if winds are strong/gusty and the crosswind component is >20kt.
    (If doing this, check landing performance)
  • When on approach, if Vapp is less than Vls+3, then Vapp should be corrected to Vapp+5.
