- Failed electrical, Hydraulic, Braking or Steering System
- Failed APU
- Taxiways or ramps are either contaminated or slippery

115%
Max Manual
(As long as this is satisfied, you can use an autobrake setting where the unfactored landing distance is less than or equal to the LDA)

No
What does the PA call “SENIOR TO FLIGHT DECK” mean to the Cabin Crew and what will be their actions upon hearing it?
The flight crew are aware of an emergency situation or aircraft has descended to a safer altitude following a decompression.
The SCCM and nearest crew member (inflight) will attend the flight deck. In case of decompression they will don portable oxygen and report to the Flight Deck. All others to remain on oxygen until advised.
What does the PA call “CABIN CREW TAKE YOUR SEATS” mean to the Cabin Crew and what will be their actions upon hearing it?
Impact is expected following a pre-planned emergency.
They will stop cabin preparations and sit down immediately.
What does the PA call “BRACE BRACE” mean to the Cabin Crew and what will be their actions upon hearing it?
Planned or Unplanned impact expected immediately.
Cabin Crew to adopt full brace position and to shout to passengers “brace brace” until the aircraft comes to a complete stop.
What does the PA call “ATTENTION, ATTENTION! THIS IS THE CAPTAIN! EVACUATE, EVACUATE! (WATER)” mean to the Cabin Crew and what will be their actions upon hearing it?
Unsafe to be on aircraft following impact (either on land, or if ‘water’ added, following ditching).
Cabin crew to evacuate the aircraft.
What does the PA call “CABIN CREW AT STATIONS” mean to the Cabin Crew and what will be their actions upon hearing it?
No immediate danger, Flight Deck is OK and the PA is operable. More time needed to evaluate the situation and further information will follow.
Check for hazards, prepare to initiate evacuation. Ensure passengers wait for further commands.
Initiate own evacuation if clearly catastrophic.
What does the PA call “CABIN CREW STAND DOWN” mean to the Cabin Crew and what will be their actions upon hearing it?
Emergency situation is over.
Cabin crew should prepare for a normal arrival.
Passengers should be instructed to sit down.
What does the PA call “CABIN CREW DESCENT” mean to the Cabin Crew and what will be their actions upon hearing it?
Aircraft is about to make a controlled descent following decompression.
Cabin crew will sit down, grab a mask and wait for further instructions.
What are the four levels of disruptive behaviour on an aircraft? (ICAO)
- Disruptive behaviour (verbal)
- Physically abusive behaviour
- Life-threatening behaviour (or display of a weapon)
- Attempted or actual breach of the flight crew compartment.
What do each of these codes mean?
WCHC
WCHR
WCHS
WCHC: Requires assistance to/from aircraft. Cannot manage steps and requires assistance to their seat.
WCHR: Requires assistance to/from aircraft. Can manage the steps. Self sufficient inside the aircraft.
WCHS: Requires assistance to/from the aircraft. Cannot manage steps. Self sufficient inside the aircraft.
What does DPNA mean?
Disabled Person Needs Assistance.
What are your considerations if the cabin temperature is starting to become excessively hot?
There is a QRH procedure, objective is to regain temperature control, it may mean descending and configuring to provide alternate ventilation.
It involves either turning left or right pack off and descending to 10,000ft or MSA. If temperature remains hot the existing pack is turned off.
Describe the Isolated Pack Operation during Engine Start procedure
After Engine 2 started and sable:
- ISOLATION VALVE: CLOSE
- Right PACK switch: AUTO
- Duct Pressure: Stabilised
- Engine No. 1: Start
After Engine No.1 Stabilised:
- ISOLATION VALVE: AUTO
An engine shows no response to thrust lever movement or the engine’s response is abnormal, which QRH non-normal checklist should you consult?
Engine Limit or Surge or Stall. (first two items are memory items):
Autothrottle (if engaged): Disengage
Thrust lever (affected engine) …Confirm…Retard until engine indications stay within limits or the thrust lever is closed
If you can’t get the engine controllable it will direct you to shut the engine down.
You hear abnormal noises from an engine, possibly with airframe vibration. Which QRH non-normal checklist should you consult?
What are the memory items?
Engine Limit or Surge or Stall. (first two items are memory items):
Autothrottle (if engaged): Disengage
Thrust lever (affected engine) …Confirm…Retard until engine indications stay within limits or the thrust lever is closed
If you can’t get the engine controllable it will direct you to shut the engine down.
