What does two-step de-icing mean?

The aeroplane is first de-iced using heated water only or a heated mixture of de-icing/anti-icing fluid and water. After completion of the de-icing operation a layer of a mixture of de-icing/anti-icing fluid and water, or of de-icing/anti-icing fluid only, is to be sprayed over the aeroplane surfaces

The aeroplane Tailplane surfaces are de-iced first followed by the wing surfaces

The aeroplane is first anti-iced using a mixture of de-icing/anti-icing fluid and water. After completion of the anti-icing operation a layer of de-icing/anti-icing fluid is to be sprayed over the wing surfaces

The aeroplane is first de-iced using Type II Fluid only. After completion of the de-icing operation a layer Type IV fluid is to be sprayed over the aeroplane surfaces

The NAV lights should be ON:

Only during darkness

Before crossing an active runway, thereafter turned off

30 mins before sunset to 30 mins after sunrise

Whenever AC power is connected to the airplane busses

The PRE-FLIGHT instrument scan is which of the following?

Time, QNH, ALT, MFRA, FD’s & SBY instruments

The check of the intermittent warning horn (TO Configuration) is

Done during the pre-flight for the first flight only by the Captain

Done during the pre-flight checks for all flights as part of the ‘Speedbrake’ check. It is done by the PF

Done during the pre-flight checks for all flights as part of the ‘Speedbrake’ check. It is only done by the Captain

Done during the pre-flight for the first flight only by the PF

The ‘Outer Marker’ call on approach is

“Outer Marker, XXXX feet, No Flags” (PM challenge) “Outer Marker Checks, No Flags” (PF response)

“Outer Marker, XXXX feet, No Flags” (PF challenge) : Altitude Checks, No Flags” (PM response)

“Outer Marker, XXXX feet, No Flags” (PF challenge) “Check, No Flags” (PM response)

“Outer Marker, XXXX feet, No Flags” (PM challenge), “Altitude Checks, No Flags” (PF response)

What is the earliest height that Standard (1013hPa) may be set on climb out?

When the aircraft is above 3000ft AAL and when cleared to a FL

Passing the Transition Altitude

When passing 3000ft on the altimeter

As soon as you are cleared to a FL by ATC

Which statement is most correct? The runway is wet for departure.

De-rated takeoff is not allowed

Both De-rated and assumed thrust reduction are allowable

Assumed thrust reduction is not allowed

Neither De-rated, nor assumed thrust reduction are allowable

When performing a NPA using VNAV, at what point does the PM call “Approaching Descent”

2nm before the OM

2nm before the nominated descent point

2nm before the IAF

2nm before the FAF, always

If remote de-icing is required, which of the following crew actions are mandatory?

You can check with the local de-icing provider and if they are happy, it’s allowed to complete a tactile check with the engines running.

It is permitted to de-ice with engines running and have a tactile check in all circumstances.

If a tactile check is required, the engines must be shutdown.

You must always shut the engines down to de-ice remotely.

As part of the evacuation checklist, the F/O will:

Pull and rotate all engine and APU fire switches.

Pull all engine and APU fire switches and only rotate a fire switch that is illuminated.

Pull and rotate engine fire switches only, unless the APU fire switch is illuminated.

Not pull any fire switches unless a fire switch is illuminated.

Runway conditions permitting, which is the normal autobrake setting to be used for landing?

One (1)

Two (2)

The setting is as determined by the crew having consulted the QRH (PI section) or using the OPT.

Three (3)

The maximum allowed crosswind component (winglet aircraft) for takeoff on a slush/standing water runway is:

15 knots

25 knots

33 knots

30 knots
