And the landing climb requirement?
What is the minimum required?
Approach climb:
- One engine inoperative, the remaining engine at go-around thrust,

Minimum 2,1%
Landing climb:
- All engines at go-around thrust,
- Landing gear extended,
- Landing flaps and

261
During a pilot turnaround (diversion), when do you need to e-mail pictures of documentation to occ@sas.se and stoof.box@sas.se as well as leave a copy to station staff?
When:
- A manual loadsheet and/or manual NOTOC have been issued;
- The fuel receipt if ACARS fuel release is not transmitted prior to takeoff;
- The second page copy of Aircraft Technical Log slip (marked “Station copy”) if a complaint has been made.
262
What are the rules for planning with an RNP approach on destination/alternate?
When is a RAIM check required?
A conventional approach (non-RNP) must be available at either the destination or alternate aerodrome.
Except for:
- Planning without a destination alternate.
- Take-off and en-route alternates
A RAIM check is required (availability 15 min before ETA until 15 min after ETA) during planning when:
- A flight is planned with an RNP approach at the destination or alternate aerodromes, or;
- The intention is to fly an RNP(AR) approach with RNP < 0,3 at the destination or alternate aerodromes.
263
A visual climbout may be carried out when the actual cloud base is above the relevant sector altitude and surrounding terrain is clearly visible, provided?
- Clearance to deviate from SID/CLP is obtained from ATC,
- Noise sensitive areas protected by SID/CLP not overflown,
- VMC maintained up to a safe altitude.
- In case of engine failure, the relevant engine-out procedure must be followed. ATC must be informed if procedure deviates from the cleared procedure
264
When do you call “minimum fuel”?
“MAYDAY fuel”?
- When committed to land at a specific aerodrome and any change to the existing clearance may result in landing with less than final reserve fuel.
- When fuel predicted for landing is less than final reserve fuel
265
What does the Heading Control Function (HCF) do?
Aims to mitigate aircraft veering during taxi (speed below 50 kt), by maintaining the aircraft in straight line when the flight crew releases the steering handwheel (compensates for NWS offset, crosswind, taxiway slope.
- Inhibited for takeoff and landing.
- Can order a maximum of +/- 3 ° of nosewheel steering.
Note:
HCF is inoperative or disconnected when PEDAL DISC is pushed.
266
When flying in Direct law (No FD available), it is recommended to select the BIRD ON. How do you do that?
What do you push to get GREEN BIRD?
- Push VV button to get BLACK BIRD (Velocity Vector)
- Push TRK/FPA to get GREEN BIRD (Flight Path Vector)
267
What are the indications of a damaged engine after engine failure?
- Loud Bang
- Amber X’s on engine display
- N1, N2 or N3 indicating 0 (engine not windmilling)
268
How does the CC alert FD in case of suspicious activity or a potential threat, when asking for access to the Flight deck?
The CC will use either the emergency key code or the interphone and state their name, position and staff number.
Any such request shall be considered as a threat and immediately denied by flight crew until it has been positively established, that no security threat exists.
269
Before taking any medication (while flying), crew must be able to answer ‘yes’ to the following 3 questions:
- Do I feel fit to fly?
- Do I need to take medication at all?
- Have I given this particular medication a personal trial on the ground of at least 48 hours to ensure that it will not have any adverse effects on my ability to perform my duties?
270
Before reading the STATUS page, Pilot Flying says “STOP ECAM”. Pilot Monitoring then says?
“Any normal checklists or system resets”
Normal checklists include normal flows.
System resets include engine restarts.
271
What is the procedure for warning the CABIN CREW in connection with a prepared Emergency landing?
2 minutes before landing (around 2000’):
“ATTENTION CREW, 2 MINUTES TO LANDING”
1 minute before landing (around 500’):
“BEND DOWN, STAY DOWN” or repeatedly flashing FSB
272
What does “NAV PRIMARY LOST” on MFD and ND mean?
How about during an RNP approach?
During an RNP overlay VOR/NDB approach?
- Loss of IRS/GNSS navigation mode OR
- Loss of navigation accuracy High (NAV ACCUR DOWNGRADED)
RNP: If “NAV PRIMARY LOST” on both sides => GO-AROUND
RNP overlay VOR/NDB approach: Revert to TRK/FPA
273
During an RNP overlay (LOC/VOR/NDB) approach NAVAID RAW data needs to be monitored. How would you set it up?
- LOC: selected/tuned with CRS. LS on.
- VOR: tuned and CRS entered. Bearing needle on ND.
- ADF: tuned and monitored. Bearing needle on ND.
ROSE LS or VOR on PM side to check max deviation 1/2 dot
274
Where can you find the approach capability after a failure?
On the STATUS page under INFO (green text)
On the FMA with LS selected on
275
What approach capability would you expect, when flying single Engine (no other failures)?
LAND 3 DUAL
276
What is minimum RNP-value for the different segments of an RNP approach? (Not AR)
Initial, intermediate and missed approach: 1 NM
Final approach to MAP: 0,3 NM
277
When should PM call “X-TRK” and “GO-AROUND” during an RNP APPROACH (lateral deviation)?
“X-TRK” when lateral deviation > 0,1NM
“GO-AROUND” when lateral deviation > 0,2NM
