LANDING

Question 1

What aspects define each phase of landing?

Answer 1

• Phase 1:
  
  • Rapid scan (include rwy aspect if visual)
  • PAPIs
  • Bird on track
  • Set appropriate trajectory
• Phase 2:
  
  • Maintain trajectory
  • Maintain scan
  • Set reference (aiming point)
• Phase 3:
  
  • Visual closure
  • Displace reference (gaze)

Question 2

Transitions among landing phases? From phase 1 to 2? From phase 2 to 3?

Answer 2

Phase 1 to 2: 200ft

Phase 2 to 3: 50ft

Question 3

Maximum crosswind for an AUTOLAND AEO and OEI?

Answer 3

AEI (A320 with sharklets) - 15kts
OEI (same) - (same)

*Check Operational Quick Access for other types of aircraft.

Question 4

Maximum crosswind for an auto land with NSW steering offset.

Answer 4

10 kts

Question 5

LANDING. What is the maximum tailwind allowed for a 3* FO?

Answer 5

Planned tailwind landings are NOT permitted.

Question 6

Max landing capability with one A/P INOP?

Answer 6

CAT 3 single.

Question 7

How do we check if we can perform a thrust idle roll out at destination?

Answer 7

By using “2-Medium to poor” on RWY COND. If we get a green margin, we can make it.

Question 8

How do we know if we can use the FDs down to the touchdown on a RNP approach?

Answer 8

FDs can be used down to touchdown if the MAP starts ON THE RWY.

If not ➡️ AP OFF, FDs OFF, Bird ON.

Question 9

Pitch for flaps full landing VS F3 landing?

Answer 9

Flaps full: 2.5-3°
Flaps 3: 5°

Question 10

What is a balked landing?

Answer 10

It is a go around initiated near the ground (during landing from flare until thrust reverse selection).

Question 11

At airports where the end of the rwy leads to a taxiway, what do you need to do in order to prevent the ROW/ROPS system to activates?

Answer 11

Reduce GS below 70kts before approaching the need of the rwy.
