Question 5

What are the Unreliable Airspeed memory items?

Answer 5

If the safe conduct of the flight is impacted:
- AP/FD: off
- A/THR: off
- PITCH/THRUST:
Below THR RED ALT: 15/TOGA
Above THR RED ALT and below FL100: 10/CLB
Above THR RED ALT and above FL100: 5/CLB
-FLAPS: If FULL select F3, otherwise maintain
-SPEEDBRAKE: Check retracted
-L/G: Up
When at or above MSA, level off for trouble shooting

Question 6
