Answer 6

90m - 6 x rwy centre-lights

Question 7

What 2 weather factors have to be considered for a non-precision app?

Answer 7

RVR and cloud ceiling

Question 8

What weather conditions must be considered for a precision approach?

Answer 8

RVR only

Question 9

What is the min visibility req’d for a vis app if radar monitored?

Answer 9

5km (same as for std vis app)

Question 10

What is the max crosswind for TO for an inexperience FO?

Answer 10

50% of max

Question 11

What is the lowest reported braking action that an inexp FO can land in?

Answer 11

Good (Capt must land at anything below this)

Question 12

What is the max straight-line taxi speed?

Answer 12

30kt

Question 13

On approach when is the sink rate call made?

Answer 13

Greater than 1200 fpm

Question 14

What is the max speed to abort for a tyre failure?

Answer 14

V1-20. Above this speed it is safer to get airborne, dump fuel and land on the full distance of the rwy.

Question 15

What are the max x-winds for TO and ldg?

Answer 15

TO: 32kt
Ldg: 32kt (EAT)

Question 16

What does © mean in the MEL?

Answer 16

That this item affects an operational approval such as RVSM, MNPS, RNAV etc.

Question 17

What brake system is required for autobrake?

Answer 17

Green

Question 18

How many prims are required for autobrake?

Answer 18

2 Prims

Question 19

If the green hyd sys is lost, how is alternate braking selected?

Answer 19

Braking is transferred to the alternate sys (B Hyd) automatically. Anti-skid is still available

Question 20

What is the recommended response to a “Windshear Ahead” warning on TO?

Answer 20

Stop. Predictive WS warning is inhibited above 100kt

Question 21

What response should the crew make if “WS” aural warning is heard on TO after V1?

Answer 21

Apply TOGA, rotate at VR using up to full stick back, follow SRS or aim initially for 17.5°

Question 22

Why is the gear not raised when WS is encountered?

Answer 22

The open of the gear doors will create additional drag

Question 23

Why are the FDs turned off during a TCAS RA?

Answer 23

To avoid confusion between FD and TCAS instructions and to allow ATHR to enter SPEED mode

Question 24

Below what height are TCAS RAs inhibited?

Answer 24

900ft

Question 25

What should the immediate response to a GPWS warning be?

Answer 25

- AP OFF - Full aftstick - TOGA

Question 26

When does the aircraft enter High Angle of Attack Protection?

Answer 26

If AoA exceeds alpha prot

Question 27

How can you get out of Alpha Protection?

Answer 27

Ease sidestick forwards and add pwr.

Question 28

How do you exit Alpha Floor once at a safe speed?

Answer 28

Push either disconnect buttons on the thrust levers.

Question 29

Where are the fuel penalty tables located?

Answer 29

In the QRH

Question 30

When asking ATC about a delay on arrival, what does "No Delay Expected" mean?

Answer 30

Not expected to hold for more than 20 mins - if greater ATC will give a EAT.

Question 31

When does ATC have to be advised of "Minimum Fuel" state?

Answer 31

When any change to the existing clearance or EAT may result in ldg with less than the planned final res fuel.

Question 32

Why is the reason behind the speed in the std single eng strategy?

Answer 32

To ensure a/c is within the stabilised windmill envelope

Question 33

For a planned non-prec app, where should VAPP be entered?

Answer 33

At the FAF to allow a representative descent profile for a stabilised app

Question 34

For a VOR app, in Rose VOR when should you turn onto final cse?

Answer 34

Only when cse bar nearly in the centre (much wider beam for VOR than ILS)

Question 35

What call does the PF make when responding to a EGPWS warning?

Answer 35

Pull Up TOGA

Question 36

If going around for predictive WS ahead, what is the call?

Answer 36

"Go around Flaps" as just a normal GA. Must turn away to avoid WS.

Question 37

What is the max ht for reactive WS GA warnings?

Answer 37

1300ft agl - if warning stops on climbout, prob due to being above 1300ft rather than out of WS.

Question 38

What call is made for a baulked landing?

Answer 38

"Go Around TOGA"

Question 39

What type of app is recommended for a dual hyd failure?

Answer 39

A stabilised app

Question 41

At high flight levels, what is the danger of extending the SB to quickly for an emergency descent?

Answer 41

If extended quickly a/c may drop below VLS and so SB will retract and AoA protection may activate

Question 42

What is the range of the MORA shown on the ND?

Answer 42

Highest MORA within 40nm of a/c

Question 43

What speed should be flown for an emer des with suspected structural damage?
