Operations Flashcards
(12 cards)
Where should pilots look to verify their apps are updated and current?
App version status can be verified through the MyVersions App.
Which apps require database updates prior to the start of a pairing?
Comply365, WSI Pilotbrief Optima, and Flight Suite (within 24 hours of the start of pairing).
Jeppesen Updates are only required prior to the start of a pairing.
What is required prior to selecting the LOAD FMC prompt after receiving PWB data?
Both pilots need to review the ACARS XXX TAKEOFF DATA message by scrolling through the pages using the NEXT PAGE function key and closely review each page for pertinent notes and remarks.
If an error is discovered, the Operations agent will enter corrected info and resend.
Review and compare EFPs in takeoff data. Brief any EFP not previously briefed.
During taxi, Dispatch notifies you of an error in the current Weight and Balance report. what is required of you before departure?
If new TO data is not automatically received, request it. Review/upload the new Data and complete the Departure Plan Checklist.
After changing an arrival in the FMC (STAR and/or runway) what is required before selecting the EXEC key?
Select the LEGS page and review the waypoint sequence or the ND map to ensure it agrees with the charted route. Both pilots must independently verify the FMC route.
What is required of the PM when commanded to change flap position?
First, verify the airspeed is appropriate for a configuration change. Repeat the command. Then move the flap lever and visually confirm it is positively seated at the correct detent. Crosscheck the flap gauge and the LE FLAPS TRANSIT light to ensure the flaps are extending properly.
Barring charted or ATC assigned airspeeds, what guidance is in the AOM for normal flap extension sequence?
The normal flap extension sequence is flaps 5, then flaps 15, then landing flaps.
Although the normal flap extension sequence is 15, then landing flaps, momentary selection of flaps 25 is permissible as appropriate.
Although the normally flap extension sequence is 5, then, 15, speed assignments on approach (charted/ATC assigned) may be well above flaps 5 or flaps 15 maneuvering speed. In these instances, for efficiency, flaps 1, 2, or 10 may be appropriate.
In cold weather operations, what considerations should be taken after landing on a contaminated runway; or if accumulation of airframe ice is observed with flaps extended?
Flaps should not be retracted to less than flaps 15 until performing a visual inspection to ensure the flaps and surrounding areas are clear of ice.
How long must the APU operate, once stabilized, before being used as a bleed air source?
2 minutes
How do you determine the appropriate level of response when a passenger smoke in the lavatory and then is compliant with FA instructions to extinguish their cigarette?
Consult the smoking policies in the FOM and apply the correct criteria when determining appropriate response.
No action is required in this particular case.
Flight Attendants report the activation of a lavatory smoke detector to the flight deck crew. What resource is available to determine if a lavatory smoke detector activation constitutes a fire emergency on board?
AOM 5.6 Fire protection and smoke/fumes on the aircraft.
FAs report activation of lav smoke detector regardless of cause.
QRC smoke fire or fumes non-normal is not requried if notified that the lavatory smoke detector activation was from:
cigarette smoke
portable electronic smoking device
aerosol
erroneous activation
Is there a resource available to guide you when a reset of the lavatory smoke detector is required?
AOM 5.6 has a hot link to take you to the manual lavatory smoke detector reset discussion in 16.8.3
