Emergecny And QRH Flashcards
(48 cards)
Role of PM in emergency
-monitor and read ECAM and checklists
-perform actions or requests of PF
-using master levers, switches etc with PF confirmation
When can no QRH or ECAM actions occur
-until flight path established
-400ft or more above the runway
What is a warning
Procedure that may result in personal injury or loss of life
Caution
An operating procedure or technique that may result in damage to equipment if not followed
What is a Note
An operating procedure considered essential to emphasise safety
Recognition of imminent or rapid decompression
-Loud bang
-excessive cabin V/s (uncontrollable)
-excessive cabin altitude (warning)
What do both pilots do once captain or PF announces emergency descent
- Oxy masks on
- Establish comms
PM memory actions for decompression
- crew oxy masks
-signs on
-FMA check
What can windshear be defined as
Any rapid change in wind direction or velocity
Severe windshear is the uncontrollable changes in excess of
-airspeed changes over 15kts
-vertical speeds changes greater than 500fpm
-change in pitch attitude of more than 5 degs
-one dot glideslope displacement
-unusual thrust lever position or thrust levels for significant period of time
What does precipitation in a thunderstorm show
The mature stage with a downdraught
3 stages to a thunderstorm
Cumulus (localised surface heating)
Mature stage (rain/gust front/downdraughts)
Dissipating (light rain, surface cooling, subsiding)
How do thunderstorms become vertically tilted
Due to large horizontal wind changes at different altitudes
Where can microbursts occur
Anywhere where there is convective weather
Deviations that show clues for windshear on departure
15kt indicated
500fpm Vs
5deg pitch attitude
Deviations that show clues for windshear on approach
-15 kts ias
-500fpm Vs
-5deg pitch attitude
-+-1 dot gs
-unusual throttle position for significant period of time
SRS Airbus
Speed reference system
Pitch attitude for efato after V1
12.5degs
What to do prior to engaging autopilot efato
Centre BETA target with rudders and then trim (1 unit per sec)
Signs that an engine is damaged
-high vibration prior to flame out
-loud noise or explosion
-repeated/uncontrollable engine stalls
-abnormal engine indications (N1 or N2)
When are the engines considered secured
-without damage = eng mast switch off
-damage = agent 1 discharged
-fire = agent 2 discharged or fire extinguished
Terrain avoidance manoeuvre
-AP off
-full back pressure and level wings
-toga
-check speed brakes off
PF actions if windshear encountered
-Leave AP on
-TOGA
-follow SRS (or pitch to 17.5deg if manual)
-check no speedbrake
PM actions if windshear encountered
-monitor alt, speed, thrust setting, pitch, VS
-call out rad alts and check baro
-call out any trends too
