Fuel will be added to the Centre Tank above approximately what level? (All variants)
Approximately 12 Tonnes
A320ceo = 12.2 Tonnes
A321ceo = 12.1 Tonnes
A321neo = 12.1 Tonnes
FCOM DSC28-10-20
Is an APU fire test required if the APU is already running?
No, it is not. An APU fire test is only required if the APU is not running on the first flight of the day/duty.

If a LO PR warning occurs with less than 200kg in the centre tank, is
this a real threat? When would this be real?
A LO PR warning can be considered spurious if there less than 200kg in the centre tank.
At these times the centre tank pumps should be selected off and the mode selected to MAN. Consider turning pumps back ON /AUTO once established in stable flight in cruise. If unsuccessful, turn the pumps OFF / MAN and treat the remaining fuel in the centre tank as unuseable.

What conditions might a manual start be recommended?
After aborting a start, because of:
* Engine stall, or Engine EGT overlimit, or LO START AIR PRESS, or no N1 Rotation, or hung start.
When expecting a start abort, because of:
* Degraded bleed performance, due to hot conditions, or high altitude
* An engine with a reduced EGT margin, in hot conditions, or high altitude
* Marginal performance of the external pneumatic power group
* Tailwind greater than 10kts
If you lost comms with the ground crew on pushback, how would you
attempt to regain contact?
If a loss of communication occurs, flight crew will attempt to regain contact by:
- Flashing taxi/landing lights
- Contacting company on VHF
Also use the above methods to re-establish contact after disconnect

On initial climb out, what is thrust reduction/acceleration altitude?
800/800ft HAA
FCOM PRO>NOR>JSS>Flight>Initial Climb Profile
When is the earliest the CM can contact the flight deck to announce cabin secure for take-off?
After the aircraft is observed by the CM to be taxiing.

When may acceleration altitude be raised?
Acceleration altitude may be raised in the following circumstances, with intermediate altitudes permitted:
- Speed restrictions below Green Dot below 3000ft HAA
- Climb gradient requirements exceed 6%
- Windshear or turbulence is expected
- Local procedures specify NADP1 or a higher acceleration altitude (i.e Hobart RWY 30 ALL ENG PROC)
FCOM PRO>NOR>JSS>Flight>Initial Climb Profile
On a 30m runway, what are the crosswind limits for take-off/landing, both wet, and dry?
Need to confirm this with a training captain
38kts dry / 33kts wet
(includes gusts)
A320 only. A321 aircraft are not approved for 30m width runway ops.
When is it appropriate to accept a non-standard FL?
To meet specific operational requirements and maintain schedule integrity. I.e. in order to:
- Minimise fuel burn if standard flight levels are not available
- Avoid departure delays
- Facilitate traffic flow and minimise altitude blockages
- Avoid turbulence or anticipated wx
- Operate on one way routes
FCOM PRO>NOR>JSS>FLIGHT>Standard Flight Levels
What is the fuel capacity of the A320ceo?
18,729kg
FCOM DSC28-10-20
Can we accept block levels?
Yes, to seek favourable winds or to avoid turbulence.
*Only when there is a distinct operational advantage to be gained, and only when all FCM can remain vigilant with respect to adhering to the block
Australian, New Zealand, Oakland and Singaporean FIRs in controlled airspace only. Good communications must exist to accept the clearance. HF is not considered a good medium*
FCOM PRO>NOR>JSS>FLIGHT>Standard Flight Levels
If we accept block levels, what do we set on the FCU?
When climbing, set the upper clearance limit of the block on the FCU. When descending, set the lower clearance limit of the block.
When should the wing anti-ice test be conducted?
When the ANTI ICE p/b is set to ON after start, the anti-ice valves open for 30 seconds for a self-test sequence, then close for as long as the aircraft is on the ground.
FCOM>PRO>NOR>SOP>AFTER START
At what FL or below is it acceptable to be managed/managed in a
high-speed descent?
Approximately FL260
In order from TOD:
- Avoid using DES mode when commencing descent and whilst descending through the higher/mid flight levels (reducing risk of overspeed due to target speed range).
- The use of DES mode combined with managed speed once in the lower FLs (below approximatelly FL260) is acceptable once margin from VMO/MMO is established.*

What is the company speed limit/height on descent?
250kts below 5000ft HAA
FCOM>PRO>NOR>JSS>DESCENT SPEEDS AND RATES OF DESCENT
If ATC request a high-speed descent below our company limit, can we accept this?
No.

At what altitude is the cabin prep PA to be made, and how long does this allow the cabin crew to secure the cabin?
**At (or prior to) FL200.
**
The intent is to allow the cabin crew 5 minutes to secure the cabin for landing prior to the seatbelt sign being switched on.
FCOM>PRO>NOR>JSS>FLIGHT>Descent Preparation
In a CTAF, if joining for a straight in approach, JQ aircraft are to join
no closer than xx miles to the runway threshold?
5nm.
The radio transmission must also be made no later than 5nm

In non-radar airspace, what is the speed requirement below 10,000ft?
250kts
FCOM>PRO>NOR>JSS>FLIGHT>Operations at non-towered airports
Is it allowable to use PAL, or do we need PAL+AFRU?
NEED TO CHECK WITH TRAINER
Yes, if AFRU is installed at the aerodrome but is temporarily unservicable?????
FCOM>PRO>NOR>JSS>FLIGHT>Operations at non-towered airports
When can we accept PAL only?
NEED TO CHECK WITH TRAINER
If AFRU is installed at the aerodrome but is temporarily unservicable?????
FCOM>PRO>NOR>JSS>FLIGHT>Operations at non-towered airports
When should PAL be activated for arrival/departure?
Prior to taxiing on departure and within 15nm of the airport and at or above the LSALT on arrival.

Can CA/GRS provide separation or control services?
No they can’t. The service provides additional information to crew, including AAIS, known conflicting traffic and other operational information.
