Loadsheet & Cirrus & fuelling Flashcards
Before each flight particularly if multiple sectors, you should check the flight plan details are the same as the plan held with a ATC. How would you do this?
Check The flight plan number / version. If there is a discrepancy contact flight planning via ACARS .FCB
When the loadsheet is presented, what should you check?
Check the actual ZFW against the stomata on the cirrus flight plan. Consider fuel implications and weight restrictions.
What must the Captain check before signing his acceptance of the AML
4 things!
That the requested fuel is loaded and that it is sufficient for the flight.
That the total fuel in tanks figure is entered on the cirrus plan.
That the calculated arrival fuel figure when compared with the remaining fuel is within tolerance for the aircraft type.
That the freeze point is satisfactory for the planned flight.
What can you tell me about re-fuelling with the slats and flaps extended?
It shouldn’t be done and if you want to do it look it up in OMB!
There are a number of considerations when re-fuelling, most of them common sense. What can you recall?
Any concern over fire, or hot brakes or anything that might be a source of ignition should be reported to the airport fire services and the refuelled.
What are the access legalities during refuelling on the ground. With a jetty and without?
With a jetty, no additional steps required.
Without a jetty, a set of passenger steps should be positioned at each opened primary evacuation point.
What are the primary and secondary evacuation points on the airbus aircraft?
318,319 & 320 primary door 1L secondary door 2L
321 primary door 1L secondary door 4L
In the event of a fuel spillage of a diameter of greater than 2 meters the fuelled should contact the local fire services. What would your considerations be?
Stop all movement of vehicles nearby. Consider a rapid disembarkation and if you do move people at least 15 metres away upwind and upslope.
What are you looking to check on the loadsheet? 8 things generally.
The aircraft reg, flight number and date, Issue no Crew complement Take off fuel agrees with trip fuel Actual take off weight including any last minute changes. Limiting weights. Signature of turnaround coordinator.
What is the scope and intent of LMC’s
LMC’s are used to amend final loadsheet where it would be impractical to obtain a new loadsheet.
They can be used to update any, weight, load, crew complement, or passenger change, up to 500kg on a single aisle aircraft.
How do you make an LMC on a final loadsheet?
Annotate the final loadsheet,
Update the TOW,
Sign the change,
A copy of the updated loadsheet does NOT have to be left with the station staff
