Are not permitted for night time approaches

Are not normally applicable to V/S NPA

During taxi in and taxi out...

The F/O (RHS) must write down all taxi instructions. The Captain (LHS) must crosscheck this. The Captain then progressively monitors the progress of the taxi against the aerodrome chart.

The F/O (RHS) must acknowledge the taxi instructions, write them in the FMC scratchpad and ensure both pilots understand them.

The Captain (LHS) must write down all taxi instructions & cross check against the aerodrome chart. The F/O (RHS) must progressively monitor the progress of the taxi against the chart during taxi.

The Captain must write the instructions in the FMC scratch pad and then progressively monitor the progress of the taxi against the chart.

May the Electric Hydraulic pumps be switched ON while refuelling is in progress?

Sometimes

Yes

Only when the Bypass Pin is installed

What are the planning minima for a destination airport with an ILS approach available?

For a CAT II/III ILS destination the met report or forecast must indicate that both the RVR/visibility and ceiling, ±1 hour of ETA, will be at or above CAT I ILS minima

The met report or forecast must indicate that both the RVR/visibility and ceiling, ±1 hour of ETA, will be at or above actual ILS minima

For a CAT II/III ILS destination the met report or forecast must indicate that the RVR/visibility only, ±1 hour of ETA, will be at or above CAT I ILS minima

The met report or forecast must indicate that the RVR/visibility only, ±1 hour of ETA, will be at or above the actual ILS minima

Which of the following statements is true regarding published Emergency Turn Procedure?

It is used to quickly return for a landing at the airfield of departure.

It is used by ATC for routing you away from high terrain in the event of an engine failure after take-off.

It is not required to be completed if on a SID.

It must be completed, instead of flying straight ahead following an engine failure on take-off.

The frequency 121.50 MHz must be monitored

On VHF 1 when cleared to cruise level

Approaching an FIR boundary

As part of the Ten Checks

On VHF 2 when cleared to cruise level

When flying in severe turbulence:

Try to keep the target speed as accurately as possible

Do not use ALT HLD, use CWS

Try to keep the assigned level/Altitude

Turn 180 degrees around to escape the area of turbulence as quickly as possible.

Where do P-RNAV arrivals terminate at?

Final Approach Fix

Final Approach Waypoint

Glideslope intercept point

Initial Approach Fix

The standard call in the event of a ‘Passenger Evacuation’ is

“This is an Emergency. Evacuate the aircraft using all available exits’’. This call is to be repeated once

‘‘This is your Captain speaking, evacuate the aircraft using all available exits’’. This call is to be repeated once

‘‘This is your Captain speaking, evacuate the aircraft using right /left emergency exits only’’. This call is to be repeated once

‘‘This is an Emergency. Evacuate the aircraft using right/left emergency exits only’’. This call is to be repeated once

Airfield classifications in Ryanair are as follows:

Category B always have an ILS approach.

Category A is the most restrictive category and includes specific operational requirements.

Category A airfields have no night operation capability.

Category C is the most restrictive category, requiring additional considerations to Category B.

During the exterior inspection the PM will:

Include a visual inspection of both Cargo Holds only if doors are opened.

Not check the cargo holds as it’s not a part of exterior inspection.

Include a visual inspection of both Cargo Holds. Leave hold doors open after inspection.

Include a visual inspection of both Cargo Holds. Close hold doors after inspection.

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

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

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

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.

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

Which statement is true regarding the Flight Director:
