SOP General Flashcards
When are main altimeters set to STD?
When Above Acceleration altitude (AA) and cleared above Transition Altitude (TA).
When is the standby altimeter set to STD?
When above the MSA and transition altitude.
During a ‘climb via’ clearance when are altimeters set to STD?
In the case of a “climb via” clearance, PF initiates the altimeter change to STD only once the aircraft is above all altitude constraints defined on the SID.
When is the ISIS set to QNH for arrival?
The ISIS must be set to the Destination QNH by TOD.
When are the altimeters set to QNH on a ‘descend via’ arrival?
In the case of a “descend via” clearance, PF initiates the altimeter change to QNH only once the aircraft is below all Flight Level constraints defined on the arrival procedure.
What fuel figure is recorded in the tech log on departure?
The actual figure from the ECAM FOB total.
What fuel figure is recorded in the tech log after arrival?
The Remaining Fuel entered in the AML is read directly from the ECAM FOB total. The amount in kilos must be entered in the box provided using the lowest units which can be read from the gauges. (e.g. enter 9 980 kg. Do not enter 10.0 or 9.98).
When is the preliminary loadsheet sent to the aircraft via acars?
STD -40mins
What is the limiting factor before final data can be entered into the FMS perormance pages?
Refueling must be complete.
What is the rounding policy for weights used in performance calculations or entered into the FMS?
Weights must be rounded up to the nearest 100kg (.1T)
When loading the FMS, are we required to always insert a ZFW if we don’t have the ZFW C of G from the previsional load sheet?
It is acceptable to leave the ZFWCG field blank if the provisional loadsheet is not available.
What does a ‘Compliance Message’ indicate on the final loadsheet?
A ‘Compliance message’ implies that:
- Aircraft weights are within the range of:+1 000 kg and -5 000 kg,
- The MACZFW and MACTOW are within -1.5% to +2% of the Preliminary Loadsheet figure
When are adjustments required to the aircraft performance data?
When there is a ‘revisions’ message on the final loadsheet.
