LIS Flashcards
(30 cards)
Under which circumstances would you require a TO alternate?
Departure wx below applicable minimum
What are the minima for a TO alternate?
CAT1
You are assigned to an aerodrome with no met info avbl can you depart?
Yes but you need 2 destination alternates on the FPL and valid meteo
Eng fail in cruise how many strategies did you have on your last jet?
Standard (no time no obstacle)
Obstacle (ensure margin)
Fixed Speed (ETOPS)
What is minimum legal amount of fuel you need to land with?
Final reserve fuel is the minimum fuel required to fly for 30 minutes at 1,500 feet above the alternate aerodrome or, if an alternate is not required, at the destination aerodrome at holding speed in ISA conditions)
Contingency fuel is normally 5%. Under which conditions can it be reduced to 3%?
If operators are approved to use enroute Alternates ERA
What is lowest FL in RVSM?
FL290
What is JetA1 freezing point?
-47
What is ETOPS and what it is purpose?
It is a certification that permits twin engine aircraft to fly routes which may, at the time, be 60 minutes flying time from the nearest airport that is suitable for an emergency landing
Save fuel and time
In cold wx ops why do you need to make an alt correction on the altimeter?
When temperature isLESSthan ISA an aircraft will beLOWERthan the altimeter reading.
What was the policy in your previous airline concerning altimeter corrections
No need when beingvectoredby radar.
Which statement is correct?
ATIS wind reported by twr are magnetic and winds aloft are true?
Winds shown on a METAR, TAF, winds aloft table, or surface analysis chart are represented in true headings, whereas winds represented through an ATIS, AWOS/ASOS, or PIREP are in magnetic headings. A useful adage is that “If you read it, it must be true. If you hear it, it’s magnetic.”
Missed approach procedures are based on a min gradient at
2,5
In case that no higher gradient is promulgated the procedure design gradient for an SID is
3,3
TAF are normally issued
Every 3hrs for TAF valid less than 12hrs 6hrs TAF with higher period of validity
CAVOK - what condition would lead to replacement Sky clear?
FEW SCT BKN OVC
How many flight parameters deviation calls do you know?
"Speed,Speed" "Sinkrate!Sinkrate!" "Bank angle, Bank angle" LOC GS Pitch X Track VDEV
After landing eng operated near idle why?
Cooldown to prevent thermal shock (Thermal stabilization)
Why does Airbus documentation recommend brake fans on after ldg but avoid when parked?
Thermal equalization and stabilization and thus avoid oxidation / environmental reason + health carbon dust
ECAM has three failure levels,level 1 level 2 and level 3 - there is another one for anomalies in progress generated by the FWC which one?
BLUE (CYAN): Actions to be carried out or limitations
PURPLE (MAGENTA): Special messages (i.e. inhibition messages)
Note: pulsing green or amber indications are approaching limits
What factors can influence a successful RTO?
Tyre damage
Worn brakes
Wrong gross weight
Runway friction
During cruise the ac encounters turbulence the autopilot disconnects and the ac enters a deep dive - which is the correct order of recovery actions?
Wings Level Reduce THR adjust AC att
Green dot for eng fail is lower than for all engines operative - why is this?
Highest climb gradient/best lift-to-drag ratio speed.
Window cracked - what is the best course of action?
Descent FL230
Cabin px mode sel MAN - Manual px ctrl - when starting final descent AUTO
