(30 cards)
What is the RAISE procedure
Relay information
Ask if they are aware (inquiry)
Indicate concern
Offer a solution (concern)
Emergency language (emergency)
What should crew constantly be monitoring in flight
Airport availability Enroute operating conditions The flight path Inc hazards Aircraft performance Any regulatory requirements Any other hazards
What should a pilot do if automated system performance becomes inaccurate, unclear or inappropriate?
Timely revert to basic modes of operation and/or disengagement of automated systems
Can pilots use manual mode?
Yes it is encouraged for pilot proficiency, but only when conditions and workload allow both PF and PM to do so while maintaining safe operations
Which time should be used for all record keeping Inc radio comms, flight logs, tech logs?
Coordinated Universal Time (UTC)
To ensure briefings remain relevant, they should be…
Interactive
TEM based
Concise and relevant
Timely and logical
What 3 broad things should a briefing contain?
Considerations, particularly threat identification
Normal operation… Share plan of action
Contingency… Non normal
Ensure a cross check of the FMS
If a captain decides to reject or continue a take off following a malfunction, what will he/she call?
Go
Stop
Stop also states the captain now has control
On climb when must the captain and first officer both be on the flight deck
Until a minimum of FL200
During Descent by when must the seat change be entirely complete
The higher of transition level or 10000 HAA
Note the captain and FO must be in a control seat to carry out altimetry procedures and associated checklists
When can an an SO on the A330 occupy the control seat? Are there any limitations?
While acting as PF or PM during preliminary cockpit preparation or before around but must be supervised by a captain or FO
SOs doing promotional training can occupy RHS
In flight above FL200 unless a greater emergency exists
What are the requirements when conducting a seat change? Any limitations?
Extreme vigilance required by PF
Autopilot and autothrust engaged if serviceable
Both pilots ensure flight deck speaker on, adequate volume and appropriate radio selections made
Pilot entering the control seat annunciates FMA
Mustn’t occur during change of Altitude or the higher of 10000 or transition level
When an SOT occupies a control seat, what are the requirements for the other pilots?
Captain or FO must be in their normal control seat
Another qualified pilot must remain in the jump seat
What is the procedure for handing or taking over controls?
PF ‘handing over’
PM ‘I have control’
Abnormal or emergency take over ‘I have control’
When must controls be guarded by the PF and PM?
PF During critical stages of flight (any time flaps are not in the up position)
PM Guards rudder pedals during take off, landing and parking
Who reads back and who checks to verify the PDC pre departure clearance?
PF reads back
PM checks to verify
What are the requirements of a visual departure?
Maintain tracks and headings authorised by ATC
Remain not less then 500ft above the lower level of CTA
Visually maintain obstacle clearance
When can pilots charge IPads? Are personal devices able to be charged using the flight deck power outlet?
When the aircraft is stationary or in flight above 10000 FT.
Other devices must not be charged using flight deck power outlets.
What software is on the ipad for calculating take off and landing performance in the A330?
FS+ take off and FS+ landing
What should be completed prior to calling Medlink? Where is this found?
Complete a patch Checklist located in the physicians kit
How can crew satisfy the continuous radio listening watch requirement?
A satisfactory selcal or datalink logon
What is the caution regarding barometric based procedures?
All barometric based procedures require an accurate QNH to be set on the altimetry systems to maintain safety of flight
If the APU is off prior to arrival at flight deck what triggers leaving it off or turning it on?
Leave off if temp in all aircraft zones can be maintained no greater then 27 until ETD-15
If temp in any zone exceeds 27 disconnect ground air supply if applicable and start APU for air conditioning. This can also be done at pilot discretion below 27 if inadequate ventilation exists
If you arrive at the aircraft with APU already on, can you turn off the air con packs and bleeds? When must they be turned back on?
Yes if aircraft temperature can be maintained not above 27 in all zones and leave off until ETD-15
