Sterile flight deck ?

Closure of last cabin door until seatbelt sign is off after takeoff Descent - when cabin crew prepare for landing until seatbelt sign off at the gate

When should the descent checklist be conducted ?

Before leaving cruise altitude or if unable to do this, must be complete by FL200

For take off with all zones above 200 RVR what zones are required ?

TDZ is required and either MDZ or EDZ RVR may be inop

EVAC COMMANDS -

MCP TO brief

After SID to fly this, Do the T MCP, ANP LESS THAN RNP, CRZ ALT FOD

For Sydney, put a 10nm ring around the runway. At that point you want to be 3000’ and 185kts

When levelling out above FL300 what scan should you do ?

Maintaining FL3XX BANK 10 FL3XXX three times BELOW XPDR

When broken off and descent to 6000 into Sydney, use V/S to keep descent rate less than 1000fpm for traffic below

Late downwind Sydney, want to bug back to 230kts, Base Flaps 1, intercept heading flaps 5 Adjust as required if aircraft isn’t doing what you want it to do. Take the gear

At the planning stage don’t plan to be within 1000kg of MLW once prelim load sheet, or you talk to dispatch then make a decision if further fuel etc is wanted

Manoeuvre fuel for alternate summary is 30nm at departure and 30nm at arrival. Fat figure

FF HLDING DIV FR

Fuel calc
