Q

What is a typical crew brief?

A

If it looks like I’m not following an SOP, let me know, it’s not intentional. We’ll back each other up and make decisions as a team. If I make any non standard switch movements I’ll let you know, do the same for me. Speak up if you have questions or are feeling rushed. (Insert any non standard things like DMIs, WX concerns, unusual situations, etc.) Low time? Any questions?

Q

When is the takeoff brief accomplished?

A

Done by the PF as part of the before takeoff check.

22
Q

What is the takeoff brief acronym?

A

HARD (all done by PF)

  • Heading
  • Altitude
  • Restrictions (speed, altitude, climb gradients.)
  • Departure Fix (Summarize SID/ODP if it’s more complicated than a basic heading and altitude)
23
Q

A typical takeoff brief is:

A

“This will be an RNAV departure, initial altitude 10,000, cross GYWNN at 6,000 or above, CWARD at 12,000 or below, first fix is WNFLD.”

24
Q

FPT 1 will do the CWARD RNAV departure out of KSAN.

A

Look at it.

25
Q

In terms of departure callouts, what are the differences between the RNAV callouts vs the NON RNAV callouts?

A

Everything is the same except for at 400 AGL you call for NAV (HDG for non RNAV.) Then at 1000 AFE you call for VNAV SPEED FMS (non RNAV you call for FLCH speed 210). Other than those 2 callouts everything is exactly the same.

26
Q

Climbing through 10,000, what happens?

A

PM does climb flow then the check.

Then states “climb check complete to transition altitude”.

27
Q

What are the cruise duties once reaching top of climb for the PM?

A
  • Ensure FMS TRS is set to CRZ
  • RADAR to STBY is not needed
  • Verify altimeters agree hourly.
28
Q

What are cruise duties of both PM and PF enroute?

A

Monitor and manage systems. When workload permits, update cruise and/or descent winds/temps into MCDU.

29
Q

Who is to monitor fuel balance/distribution and fuel burn against the release in flight?

A

The PF holds that responsibility. But PM can check when workload permits as well.

30
Q

What are the 3 low speed protections?

A
  • Pitch limit indicator, limits control authority in the nose up region (prevents from exceeding critical AOA)
  • Can’t set speed bug below top of red speed tape
  • if speed set to low and AT engaged, it will increase thrust based on system logic to maintain minimum safe airspeed. (Factors in altitude and flap setting)
31
Q

When should you begin setting up for an approach?

A

As soon as weather is available.

32
Q

What is the approach briefing acronym?

A

WASP

  • Weather, NOTAMs, field conditions
  • Approach strategy (type, automation level, runway, VRF adjustment, flap setting, use of reverse, special conditions, fuel bottom line, backup plan)
  • Special procedures (noise abatement, pattern, speed limits, terrain, engine out, etc)
  • Procedural information from Approach Chart. (Normal approach chart briefing).
33
Q

Do GPS approaches require verification of waypoints, tracks, distances, glide path angles, altitude constraints, threshold crossing altitudes?

A

Yes

34
Q

What is a full comprehensive approach brief acronym that can satisfy everything in WASP?

A

ABC

  • ATIS/NOTAMS
  • Approach strategy
  • Build (FMS)
  • Book (plate review)
  • Bug (frequency, course, mins, landing speeds)
  • Brief (Plate)
  • Communicate (2 in 2 out- FA, PAX, dispatch, ATC)
  • Checklists
35
Q

Slowdown profile: what happens at 6-8 NM from FAF?

A
  • GS alive
  • 200 KIAS
  • Flaps 1 prior to green dot
36
Q

Slowdown profile: what happens 5-6 NM from FAF?

A
  • 2 dots below GS
  • 180 KIAS
  • Flaps 2 prior to green dot
37
Q

Slowdown profile: What happens 1-3 NM from FAF?

A
  • 1 dot below GS
  • 160 KIAS
  • Flaps 3 prior to green dot
  • Gear down
38
Q

Slowdown profile: what happens 0-1 NM from the FAF?

A
  • GS intercept
  • Landing Flaps
  • Slow to VAP
  • “Landing check”
39
Q

Slowdown profile: what happens at 30’ HAT?

A

-Flight idle

40
Q

Go around profile: What happens initially right when you make the decision to go around?

A
  • Push TOGA button
  • Go around thrust
  • Go around altitude
  • Select go around flaps
  • Positive rate, gear up
  • Complete go around procedure and climb.
41
Q

Go around profile: after go around procedure is completed and you’re leveled off, what happens next (assuming you are trying the approach again)?

A
  • Configure to arrive on the vector to final approach course intercept with flaps 2.
  • Aim for a 6 mile final
42
Q

Precision approach callouts: 1,000’ above TDZE___

A
  • PM: “ONE THOUSAND FEET, INSTRUMENTS NORMAL” OR “ONE THOUSAND FEED, UNSTABLE”
    • PF “CHECKS” OR “GO AROUND, FLAPS____”
43
Q

Precision approach callouts: approaching DA____

A
  • PM: “TWO HUNDRED TO MINIMUMS”
    - PF: “CHECKS”
  • PM: “ONE HUNDRED TO MINIMUMS”
    - PF: (no response)
  • PM: “MINIMUMS. RUNWAY IN SIGHT, 12 O CLOCK” OR “NOTHING IN SIGHT”
    - PF: “LANDING” OR “GO AROUND, FLAPS___”
44
Q

What are the missed approach callouts after “go around flaps____”?

A

Essentially exactly the same as an RNAV or non RNAV takeoff. “Positive rate, gear up, HDG, FLCH speed 210”
(Non RNAV)

“Positive rate, gear up, NAV, VNAV, SPEED 210”
(RNAV) the only difference is you don’t do speed FMS.

45
Q

What is an important technique on a go around regarding speed to prevent the auto throttles rolling back to idle?

A

ALWAYS set speed bug up to VFS after gear up. If not, the bug was just at VAP so the auto throttles will roll back to idle to capture that very low speed.

46
Q

Normal landing: what are the duties and callouts of the PM?

A
  • upon landing, look for OPEN and GREEN on the spoilers on EICAS. If so, announce “SPOILERS NORMAL”. If not, say so.
  • Look for the green REV icon below each N1 display, if normal, announce “REVERSERS NORMAL”. If not, say so.
  • “80” AT 80 KNOTS
  • “60” AT 60 KNOTS
  • if SIC flying, positive verbal exchange of flight controls to PIC occurs at 60 knots.
47
Q

When does the SIC announce “LANDING CHECK COMPLETE”?

A

ONLY after waiting and watching for the cool down complete. (2 min, with red X)

48
Q

Where do you find “ops” frequency to contact to confirm gate assignment?

A

LIDO CCI Page

49
Q

What do you do before shutting down an engine for single engine taxi?

A

Hydraulic system 1 and 2 switch to ON

50
Q

What does the SIC do 45 seconds prior to reaching the gate?

A

Deselect APU bleed and start the APU. (Make sure you select “on” first, wait for FADEC to come online, the move switch to START for 2 seconds.

51
Q

When entering the gate area,____

A

Nose taxi light off

52
