Operational Training Flashcards
(22 cards)
What is the rule regarding pilot incapacitation?
Two communication rule - suspect incapacitation.
- Clues - missing radio calls, SOPs, deviation from flight path/scan
First actions to take during pilot incapacitation?
Aviate - check AFDS & pressurisation
Navigate - full use of autoamtics
Communicate - “No.1 to the Flight Deck”
What are the considerations for pilot incapacitation during approach & landing?
1) Stay in the operating seat & divert somewhere familiar.
2) Start APU prior to landing - inform ATC stop runway
3) Pull CVR CB on the ground
What is the first action on the Discontinued Approach SOP?
PF needs to point to LEGS page & call the missed approach altitude and “SET”
PM responds “XX FT CHECKED”
After the missed approach altitude has been checked, what are the further actions for the Discontinued Approach SOP?
- Detune ILS to deselect APP
- Select appropriate lateral & vertical modes
- Level off at MAA
- When at ALT HOLD, bug up & retract flaps / gear on schedule
- After Takeoff Checklist
What are clues for Engine Severe Damage?
Lack of N1 rotation, accompanied by noise, a bang / vibration.
What are clues for a normal engine failure?
The engine spools down normally with the ENG FAIL flags
What is an indication of Engine Seperation?
All signals to instruments are lost, i.e blank boxes
What is an indication of Turbine Failure
A loud bang, high rapidly rising EGT, large vibrations.
Do not restart!
What is an indication of high engine vibration?
> 4U. Does not necessarily need shutting down. Consider that FMC figures are not accurate.
MEMORY ITEMS - LOSS OF THURST ON BOTH ENGINE
START SWITCHES … FLT
START LEVERS … CUTOFF
Wait until EGT falls…
(Start APU?)
START LEVERS … IDLE..
If EGT reaches 950C or does not increase within 30 seconds:
START LEVER…confirm … CUTOFF -then back to IDLE
What is the purpose of the LOSS OF ENGINE THRUST ON BOTH ENGINES memory items checklist?
- Accomplish memory items & establish appropriate airspeed for a windmill restart.
- Checklist is written in order to take advantage of high RPM regardless of altitude / airspeed.
LOSS OF THURST ON BOTH ENGINES:
What is the purpose of the ENGINE FIRE ON THE GROUND memory items checklist?
- Communicate with the cabin to avoid passenger initiated evacuation
- Extinguish the fire
- Evacuate passengers without delay
- Follow NNC back cover of the QRH if evacuation required.
RECALL - MEMORY ITEMS - ENGINE FIRE ON GROUND
THURST LEVERS BOTH … CLOSE
PARKING BRAKE … SET
CABIN … ADVISE
START LEVER AFFECTED ENGINE… CUTOFF
FIRE SWITCH AFFECTED … PULL ROTATE TO STOP & HOLD 1 SECOND
WAIT MINIMUM 30 SECONDS… TO OTHER SIDE IF NOT EXTINGUISHED
What is a possible catch with diagnosing an engine failure on a LEAP 1B engine?
Possible 0% N2 indications if an engine is windmilling at less than 250kts
& Hydraulic Pumps are on.
This is because the engine cannot overcome the torque.
Should not misinterpret this for a severe damage & not reattempt to start it again.
Which pack supplies air to the flight deck, which to the cabin?
Left - Flight Deck
Right - Cabin
What type of engine failure does smoke in the flight deck / cabin indicate?
Engine Severe Damage
What are the requirements for a visual approach?
RVR >800m
No self manoeuvring below MSA @ night
Special restrictions at night <2000m runway distance without PAPIs
Double Brief Required / Landing Gate 500ft
Typical Raw Data / Manually Flown Departure
Set Takeoff Thrust Manually
Pitch up to 15º, then V2 -> V2+20
At 1000ft, 8º NU & retract flaps
Climb at up speed 12º
Level off at 5º / 55%.
What are the consequences of an FMC Failure on the autopilot?
Basic Autopilot Modes available.
No LNAV/VNAV, displays, PROG page
Thrust and speeds must be set manually
Where are thrust settings and speeds referenced from?
N1-SP Chapter 7 Takeoff
SP Chapter 10 for other speeds.
How is VREF calculated during an FMC failure?
Use of OPT via EFB
