Lido OM-C
Where do ECAM advisories show, and how are they displayed?
An advisory message appears on the upper part of the E/W display. Auto call of the relevant system page on the SD. The affected parameter pulses green. If the system is in a single DU config, the related system button on the ECAM Control Panel flashes to identify the relevant system page.
How is VLS calculated?
Computed by the FAC according to the FMS weight data. Displayed on the MCDU TAKEOFF and/or APPR pages
What is V2 in relation to VS1G?
1.13 VS1G
What is VREF?
Reference speed used for normal final approach. VREF is equal to the VLS of config FULL. VREF is used to determine the final approach speed (VAPP) when a system failure affects the landing performance. Displayed on the MCDU approach page, if landing is planned in config FULL.
What is the screen height for dry Rwy and wet Rwy?
Dry: 35 ft Wet/Contaminated: 15 ft
What are the company procedures for carriage of a large musical instrument , for example, a cello?
Shall have its own seat. An extra seat must be purchased. Must be placed on the floor leaning towards the window seat. Seat belt to be fastened around the cello. If there are more than one instrument, place the second instrument in the adjacent seat. Shall not exceed 150cm x 35cm x 50cm. The cello shall not be placed in the first row aft of a floor level exit or partition wall, in the over wing exit rows or in front of an over wing exit. Center rows: mid and ail seats may be used provided passengers seated in the same row has free access to an ail.
What are the standard weights for CC and pilots?
CC: 75 kg for each incl unchecked baggage
Pilots: 85 for each incl unchecked baggage
This weight is incl in the DOW
Checked crew baggage: 15 kg. This weight is NOT included in the DOW
What is RVSM and what equipment is required to enter RVSM airspace?
Reduced Vertical Separation Minimum - a reduction of separation from 2000 ft to 1000 ft above FL 290. During FL transitions do not go above/below by more than 150 ft. Max alt diff between PFDs is 200 ft.
The following equipment shall be operating normally when entering RVSM airspace:
OM-A:
- 2 primary altitude measurement systems
- one automatic altitude control system
- one altitude alerting device
- one operating transponder
FCOM PRO SPO 50
- 2 ADR + 2 DMC
- 1 transponder
- 1 AP function
- 1 FCU Channel (alt selection)
- 2 PFD functions (alt ind)
- 1 FWC (alt alert)
When do we not require a destination alternate?
An IFR flight can be planned without a destination alternate provided (all 4):
- duration of flight not more than 6 hrs (replanning in flight 4 hrs, or 6 hrs from DP in case of planning with RCF)
- 2 separate RWYs available and usable, separate appr proc based on a separate nav aid. RWYs may overlay or cross, but in the event of a blockage of one Rwy, the other shall be fully usable
- wx reports and forecasts from 1 hr before to 1 hr after ETA -> ceiling 2000 ft or circling height +500 ft, whichever greater, and visibility at least 5 km
- fuel for 15 min at hold speed at 1500 ft AGL, standard conditions at estimated a/c weight. This is included in as alternate fuel on the OFP.
When do we need a takeoff alternate?
Whenever the AD of departure is not available for a possible return for meteorological, performance or aircraft system reasons with one engine inoperative.
Definition of contaminated RWY
CONTAMINATED RWY:
A RWY is considered contaminated when more than 25% of its surface is covered with:
- A layer of fluid contaminant not considered as thin (more than 3mm, 1/8 inch)
- A hard contaminant
Fluid contaminants can be:
- Dry snow
- Wet snow
- Standing water
- Slush
Fluid contaminants reduce friction forces, and cause:
- Precipitation drag
- Hydroplaning
Hard contaminants can be:
- Ice (cold and dry)
- Wet ice
- Comp snow
Hard contaminant only reduce friction forces.
When do two RWYs count as separate?
Runways on the same aerodrome that are separate landing surfaces. These runways may overlay or cross in such a way that if one of the runways is blocked, it will not prevent the planned type of operations on the other runway. Each runway shall have a separate approach procedure based on a separate navigation aid.
What are the RNP values for different phases of flight, such as enroute, terminal etc?
Enroute 2NM
Terminal area 1NM
Appr area w/ GPS 0.3 Nm
Appr area without GPS 0.5 NM
When are inhibited ECAMs inhibited?
the ECAM inhibits the warnings that are not essential from 80 kt to 1500 ft (or 2 min after lift-off, whichever occurs first). Therefore, any warning received during this period must be considered as significant.
What are contaminated takeoff limitations?
Flex takeoff not permitted
Max x-wind for narrow RWY ops - 10 kt
Max x-wind braking action MED-GOOD - 29 kt
…….. MED - 25 kt
……. MED to POOR - 20 kt
…….. POOR - 15 kt
Autoland incl rollout not tested => use with care.
What is the planning minima for destination alternate if your actual destination only has a non-precision approach available?
How long is a tempo forecast expected to last?
TEMPO = Temporary fluctuations
TEMPO and the associated time group should be used to describe expected frequent or infrequent temporary fluctuations in the meteorological conditions which reach or pass specified threshold values and last for a period of less than 1 HR in each instance and, in the aggregate, cover less than one-half of the forecast period during which the fluctuations are expected to occur.
What is the definition of final reserve fuel?
Final reserve fuel is the fuel required to fly for 30 minutes at holding speed at 1500 feet above the alternate aerodrome (or the destination when no alternate required) under standard conditions and at estimated weight.
What are the maximum landing weights of the aircraft your company operates?
A319:
A 320 NEO: 67.400kg
A320 CEO: 64.500 kg/ 66.000 kg
A321: 77.800 kg
A321 NX:
What is the extra fuel burn with engine anti-ice and wing anti-ice on?
What is the APU fuel burn, either per minute or per hour?
130 kg/hr (MEL Main AC GEN u/s)
What is the minimum fire category for our aircraft types?
A319/320: 6 for dep and dest/ 4 for ALT or temp downgrade of dep or dest
A321: 7 for dep and dest/ 5 for ALT or temp downgrade of dep or dest
One cat below is allowed for low density AD
