Maneuvers

Question 1

rejected takeoff criteria (slow/fast)

Answer 1

Prior to 80:
- master caution/warning
- system failure
- noise or vibration
- tire failure
- slow acceleration
- takeoff config warning
- side window opens
80 kts to V1:
- engine failure
- fire
- predictive windshear
After V1:
- aircraft unsafe or unable to fly

Question 2

Rejected Takeoff

Answer 2

verify idle / max brakes
verify reverse thrust
"spoilers up" / "no spoilers"
"80 knots"
talk to tower / pax
"this is the captain, we have discontinued the takeoff, please remain seated with your seatbelts fastened"
roll trucks as req
complete non-normal checklists
check doors before taxiing

Question 3

V1 cut

Answer 3

rotate for 12.5deg
center beta target
airspeed v2 to v2+15
toga as req
trim rudder
autopilot on
1000': alt hold
clean up to green dot
MCT if req
open climb
flaps up, after t/o checklist
ECAM actions

Question 4

engine inop approach

Answer 4

flaps 3 mcdu perf

Question 5

engine inop go-around

Answer 5

flaps 2
1000': alt hold
clean up to green dot
mct
open climb

Question 6

high energy approach

Answer 6

• speed 170
• landing gear down if more drag desired
• flaps on schedule
• speedbrakes full
• set target altitude (typically FAF, but not lower than 1000’ HAT), pull OP DES
• maintain Vmax -10 knots in SEL SPD
• if A/P and FDs off, select managed speed and adjust pitch manually to maintain desired airspeed

Question 7

Alpha floor recovery

Answer 7

PF:

• TOGA
• pitch as req
• level wings
• autothrust off
• once normal conditions, thrust as req
• autothrust on

PM:

• confirm a/s above alpha prot and increasing
• confirm a/s above VLS before config changes
• confirm positive climb before gear up

Question 8

emergency descent

Answer 8

• oxy masks on
• announce descent
• notify ATC / 7700 / request altimeter
• set FCU altitude, OP DES
• thrust idle / speedbrakes
• set speed Vmo (if no damage suspected)
• eng ign/start
• cabin signs / pax oxy ON
• call out altitudes
• level off 10k or MORA
• speed as req, speedbrakes in

Question 9

terrain avoidance maneuver

Answer 9

PF

• A/P off
• full back stick
• disregard FD
• toga
• level wings
• maintain gear/flap config until terrain separation assure
• monitor radalt
• when terrain clearance assured, CL thrust and A/P on as desired
• check FMS phase (will be in go-around if flaps 1 or greater)

PM

• verify max thrust
• verify all required actions completed, call out ommissions
• monitor VSI and altitude
• call out trend toward terrain contact
• call out “alpha floor” if required

Question 10

Go around

Answer 10

“Go around, flaps”
TOGA
“SRS verified”
“Positive rate”
“Gear up”
400’ call for lateral mode
Clean up on schedule

Question 11

20+ kt xwind takeoff (or tailwind)

Answer 11

Full forward stick recommended
Rolling takeoff recommended

-200/323/302
1.1/50% symmetric
rapidly to 1.3/70%
smoothly to FLX/TOGA prior to 40 kts gs

-900
50% stable
60%
@30 kts: FLX / TOGA

Question 12

TCAS maneuver

Answer 12

Disconnect AP
Command FDs off
Follow RA commands

Question 13

Windshear escape maneuver

Answer 13

PF:

• TOGA
• AP off
• Follow SRS, use full back stick if necessary
• No SRS: 17.5 deg nose up
• Monitor radalt/VSI
• Do not change configuration until clear
• Do not try to regain airspeed until clear

PM:

• Assure TOGA
• Verify actions, call omissions
• monitor / call out IVSI, radalt, altimeter
• monitor VSI / altitude
• call out trend toward terrain, descending flight path, airspeed changes

Question 14

Upset recovery

Answer 14

Recognize
Confirm
Verbalize (“upset - recover”)
Recover

“Push”
“Roll”
“Power” on/off plus speedbrakes if reqd
“Stabilize”
