Q

Just because the parking brake is on, does this guarantee there is sufficient hydraulic pressure to check the brake wear indicators?

A

No
Hydraulic 1 and 2 must be pressurized

List the 5 CRM issues that are included in nearly every ASAP report
Unable to manage distractions Inability to recognize task saturation and level Non-specific WANT briefings that exclude key arrival procedure elements and go-around/missed approach planning Briefing excludes key components preventing crew from having a shared mental model - especially during visual approaches. Not holding other crewmembers accountable to the SOPM
116
The FOM lists 4 tools to mitigate distraction.
Recognize a state of becoming distracted, verbalize the concern and request help to reduce task saturation and increase awareness. Use task prioritazation to determine what can be delayed for a later time during lower workload period. Use good planning during low workload periods to coordinate efficient efforts during high workload periods First officers maintain a state of readiness to assume delegated responsibilities, as directed by the Captain.

Lis the 5 CRM issues included in nearly every ASAP report
Unable to manage distractions Inability to recognize task satuation and level Non-specific WANT briefings that exclude key elements and go around/missed approach planning Briefing excludes key components preventing crew from having a shared mental model - Especially during visual approach procedures, when to configure etc. Not holding crewmembers accountable to the SOPM

4 tools to mitigate distraction
Recognize a state of becoming distracted, verbalize the concern and request help to reduce task satuation and increase awareness Use task prioritization to determine what can be delayed for a later time during lower workloads Use good planning during low workload periods to coordinate efficient efforts during high workload periods First officers maintain a state of readiness to assume delegated responsibilities, as directed by the captain.
143
Does the FOM require briefings to include anticipated distractions along with a plan of how to manage this threat?
YES, the captain is responsible to brief anticipated distractions.
144
What is tunneling and how does it contribute to a loss of situational awareness
Under stress a pilot may focus on a single flight deck indicator and not notice other indications also relevant to the situation.
145
What CRM skill is severely diminished during tunneling
Situational awareness. Vigilance and problem identification lapses and ability to detect and manage threats is reduced.
146
What common errors do pilots make during high workload situations in regard to personal ability?
Overestimate peraonal ability to manage the workload and level of satuation. They may not even recognize the level of saturation.
147
Name the common cues of task saturation observed through ASAP, LOSA and FOQA
Missed checklist items or entire checklists Missed callouts Missed configuration changes Missed ATC readbacks Abbreviated or ommitted WANT briefings Little or no communication Lack of FMA correlation to intended mode
148
How mahy CRM issues that are included in nearly every ASAP report are a potential result of task satuarion?
4 out of 5
149
What Action should be employed when a pilot realizes they are in the yellow?
Verbalize the condition. Follow the TEAM. Choose an appropriate level of automation, access the criticality of the threat, communicate a plan of action to return to a greel level of saturation.
150
What key component must be included in visual approachy execution when the 10-7 contains EGPWS warning information?
Pilots follow the track and descent profile of an instrument approach procedure when conducting a visual approach at night.
151
If ACARS is inop, can a weight and balance be calculated? Can it be used for departure?
YES, by using the Flt View Manifiest applet. It can be used for departure.
152
Where can instructions for completing a manifest using the applet be found?
Flight View User Guide under the EFB iPad tile
153
When a mechanical irregularity is discovered after block out but prior to takeoff, the flight is autorized to continue under what conditions?
If there is an approved QRH procedure for the situation, not an inflight procedure. Depart and enter discrepancy at destination. Maintenance directed reset procedure or deferral. PIC reports this immediately to MX and MX deteremins the action.
