Q

When a Microburst Alert is issued or “shears of 30 knots” or greater reported for landing runway, what must crew do?

A
  • Flights must not takeoff or continue below 1000 feet AGL to a runway where ATC has reported a Microburst Alert
  • If below 1000 feet AGL on the approach, when ATC issues a Microburst Alert for the landing runway, a go around must be executed

Both Microburst and Windshear Alerts are runway specific

40
Q

If Runway Data message shows ANTI-ICE OFF but anti-ice ON is required, what should you do?

A

Decrease ASSMD TMP by 5 knots and use the V-speeds for ANTI-ICE OFF

Takeoff Module “319/320 Sabre Flight Planning System Review”

41
Q

Can reduced thrust be used with a wet runway?

Contaminated runway?

A

Wet runway - YES
Contaminated runway - NO

Takeoff Module “319/320 Sabre Flight Planning System Review”

A wet runway poses a stopping problem, while a cluttered runway poses an acceleration problem. May still be better to use full thrust takeoff on wet runway to utilize lower V1 speed

42
Q

When requesting runway data and a T/O NOT POSSIBLE message is returned, what should you do?

Q

Why is engine 1 normally started first?

A

FM 3.50.1

46
Q

When should flaps not be retracted fully up after landing?

A
  1. If ice accretion is suspected, do not retract flaps until cleared to do so following an inspection by ground personnel
  2. If OAT is warmer than 30°C, and the aircraft will operate again in under approx. 2 hours, retract flaps to 1 to prevent a false AIR L(R) WING LEAK on the outbound leg. Flaps down refueling is authorized. It is not necessary to retract flaps to 0 before setting takeoff flaps on next leg.

FM 3.210.3

47
Q

When must landing distance be checked?

Create: Any new routing that contains a segment that is not already in the flight plan (i.e. to add a new jet route, find waypoint along route to act as anchor point)

Clear: Once new jet route/STAR inserted, clear from top (1L) until valid FROM/TO relationship exists. Ask “How does that look?” before inserting.

Connect: Clear an unneeded waypoints and discontinuities. Verify entire route is correct

Command NAV: Ensure NAV mode armed or engaged

Additionally:
1. Re-wind the flight plan
2. Check fuel
3. Contact dispatch (if required)
