LOE 2 Flashcards
Descend via the ROKKR except cross MIKEI at 6000’
Make sure it’s at 6000’ not above or below
What needs to be on for a visual approach?
Terrain
What does the PF need to brief on a visual?
The PF should brief their plan for descending from the arrival segment onto the final approach segment to ensure a shared mental model is established. This briefing should include minimum target altitudes at various phases of the arrival and approach in reference to the terrain.
What needs to be briefed on the visual besides the descent plan?
Review airport 10-7 charts for Safety Alerts and additional information or restrictions.
What happens if they ask for a good rate down when they say descend and maintain 3000’?
If I add flap to descend and forget to go to manual speed before adding flaps the plane will pitch up and not descend. It will slow to flaps 1 speed.
Describe flap landing choice flap 5 and full
Flaps 5 provides lower fuel consumption and reduced approach noise levels.
FULL flaps are required when the field length or conditions require its use.
Flaps FULL provides slower approach speed and reduced landing distance. Consider using flaps FULL on short or contaminated runways, or to reduce required runway length due to STALL PROT ICE SPEED.
Approach minima DA, RA, MDA, MDA (LOC), LP
Landing speed wind correction added and min/max for Visual, Non-Precision, and Cat I Approaches:
The following method is used for wind additive corrections.
VAP = VREF+ 1/2 steady headwind component + gust factor
Minimum VAP = VREF + 5
Maximum VAP = VREF + 20
ACARS calculates and adds only one half the steady headwind component to VREF, not the gust factor. Perform the above calculation manually when gusty winds are present. Consider using the FMS LANDING INIT page to determine one half the headwind component, then add the gust factor.
Landing speed wind correction added and min/max for Cat II Approaches and/or Ice Accumulation:
VAP = VREF + 1/2 steady headwind component + gust factor
Minimum VAP = VREF
Maximum VAP = VREF + 20
Stabilized approach criteria gates and requirements for INSTRUMENT approaches
1500’ HAT or FAF,1000’ HAT, 500’ HAT
By 1,500 ft HAT or the FAF, whichever occurs first: • Landing gear down • FLAPS 3 • Airspeed no greater than 180 kt
The PM will announce any deviations from the above criteria (e.g., “SPEED” or “FLAPS”). The PF must take immediate correction action and state, “CORRECTING.”
By 1,000 ft HAT: • On lateral and vertical profile. • Airspeed within +15 and -5 kt of VAP
• Sink rate is no greater than 1,000 ft/min; if an approach requires a higher sink rate, a briefing is required.
• The aircraft must be fully configured for landing and the BEFORE LANDING CHECKLIST complete.
When a transient unstable condition or an EGPWS notification occurs at or below 1,000 ft HAT and above 500 ft HAT, the PM states the deviation (e.g., “SPEED” or “SINKRATE”). The PF states “CORRECTING” and makes the proper adjustment. When the deviation from the above criteria is not immediately corrected, the aircraft is considered unstable, and a missed approach is mandatory. The PM will command a go-around by announcing “UNSTABLE, GO-AROUND.”
By 500 ft HAT: • Airspeed established within the bug with adjustments for gust factor applied, if required. • Thrust levers above idle.
Except for momentary airspeed and descent deviations, any unstable condition or any EGPWS notification that occurs at or below 500 ft HAT requires a missed approach. The PM will command a go-around by announcing “UNSTABLE, GO-AROUND.”
Stabilized approach criteria gates and requirements for VISUAL approaches
1500’ HAT, 1000’ HAT, 500’ HAT,
By 1,500 ft HAT: • Landing gear down. • FLAPS 3. • Airspeed no greater than 180 kt.
The PM will announce any deviations from the above criteria (e.g., “SPEED” or “FLAPS”). The PF must take immediate corrective action and state “CORRECTING.”
By 1,000 ft HAT: • Lateral and vertical profile established within the standard service volumes for Visual Glideslope Indicators (± 10° of the extended centerline and 4 NM (VASI) / 3.4 NM (PAPI) from the runway threshold).
• Airspeed within +15 and -5 kt of VAP. • On glide path. • Sink rate is no greater than 1,000 ft/min; if an approach requires a high sink rate, a briefing is required.
• The airplane must be fully configured for landing and the BEFORE LANDING CHECKLIST complete.
By 500 ft HAT: • Airspeed established within the bug with adjustments for gust factor applied, if required. • Thrust levers above idle.
When corrections are not immediately apparent or effective and/or GPWS notifications continue at or below 500 ft HAT, a go-around is mandatory. The PM will command a go-around by announcing “UNSTABLE, GO-AROUND.”
When does the FO turn the ADS probe heaters on/off in their flow
On: Originating flow after checking the glare shield
Off: on the after start checklist when engines take over anti ice
