Vref - 113
Vapp (+5) - 118
V24man (ref +20) - 133

During take-off, what is the FO hand positioning?
During take off- set thrust levers and then move left hand to left leg. At V1 call
place left hand on control column. When Capt announces “Gear up”, place hand
on thrust levers
Breifings always commence with speed. “Call the card”
What will the sequence of actions be after “Call the card” ?
Sequence will then be:
➢ Captains instrument check
➢ Flight plan review
➢ Airways Clearance “SYD Delivery, JETEX 1234 TO BNE, request clearance”
➢ CN,T,W,O+
➢ Final loadsheet
➢ Originating or Transit checklist
What is the the process, order and standard calls for approach brief to descent checklist?
➢ Approach brief- PM “Card available” PF “Go ahead the speeds”
➢ CN,T,W,O + (include navaids and nav system selection in chart brief)
➢ 10 nm before TOD, FO sets pressurization and PF calls for the Descent Checklist
During ‘After Start Checklist’ AIR SUPPLY the FO states what?
How should Recirc switch be positioned?
When selecting Pack 1 and Pack 2 on what do we wait for?
➢ After start checklist- AIR SUPPLY FO states “APU air on, Pack 1 and Pack 2 on”
➢ Note: Recirc switch is always in line with the packs switch position
➢ Note: when selecting Pack 1 on, wait until the valves are at 6 oclock. Pack 2
when valves are at 9 oclock
Regarding the Auto Pilot:
If changes occur at the top of the PFD?
Flight directors - either follow them or?
Before AP engagement ensure what?
➢ Callout ALL autopilot changes at the top of the PFD
➢ Flight Directors- either follow them accurately or turn them off
➢ AP engagement- ensure aircraft is trimmed and following the FDs, the modes are
selected and engage AP last
On a star a heading bug should be moved?
After each waypoint to match the track to the next way point.
A gentle flare should be commenced when?
At the 10ft announcement.
When air brake is deployed at 100ft the aircraft will?
Pitch up, therefore forward control pressure is applied to maintain landing aim point
When on profile for landing and airbrake is selected at 100ft, correct control column force is applied to maintaining landing aim point what effect will this cause?
Approx 5kt loss of airspeed to Vref
When is trip log and fuel log filled out?
Trip log above F100
Fuel log once on centre frequency
When does PF hand return to thrust levers after take off?
When can they be removed?
150ft until flap up
Drift Down Performance.
Before drift down what needs to be set?
- Power setting
- Airsupply
- Speed
Speed increases by how much above FL270?
At what altitude does a slow down start before FL270?
Where can this info be found?
MCT
Cabin Bleed Air FRESH
Speed is Ver
Above FL270 speed is increased by 20kt
Speed reduction to Ver is started at FL280
Flight deck handbook, Vol3 Part 4 which include stabilised altitude tables
On the first flight after conducting the S+P checks, the red button?
Is pulled out
Once the final load sheet arrives.
- Radios GRND / TWR
- MWS Red button in
- Data card, record info
Regarding stabilisation height, prior to comencing an approach the crew must what?
Establish a stabilisation height for the approach to be flown.
The stabilisation height must form part of the arrival briefing.
OM0A2 - 13.11.6.3
A 500ft stabilisation height for an instrument approach may be planned when?
If the destinations includes a ceiling of at least 1500ft and vis of 3km or more. Aircraft must be configured by the FAF
The captain may plan a 500ft stabilisation height when conducting a visual approach or an instrument approach in visual conditions. In this case, the aircraft must be configured by what height?
What needs to be configured?
1000ft
- Gear down
- Circling flap
- Max Vref + 30kt
Discontinuing the approach.
A missed approach must be flown if an approach:
- is not stable
- becomes unstable
- is not being flown as briefed
A stabilised approach is one in which all the criteria are acheived by the applicable min stabilisation height and maintained there after.
These criteria are:
- Correct flight path
- aircraft in landing config
- only small changes in hdg and pitch
- VS not greater than 1000ft/min
- thrust appropriate for aircraft config
- all briefings and checklists completed
- speed not more than Vref +20kt and not less than Vref (small short term fluctuations outside acceptable)
Additional stab approach criteria for the specific approach are:
- ILS 1 dot of glideslope and localiser
- Non precision app +- 5deg of inbound course or 1 dot track RNP
- Vis app 1 light high or log papi
- circling wings level by 300ft
Stabilised approach thrust setting:
Stabilised approach, checklist in icing conditions can be?
Normal thrust setting for approach approx 60%
Not lower than 45% to be stabilised however if tailwind temorary reduction can be done
In icing conditions landing check list may be held to allow air and airframe anti-ice switching
