Route to command

Welcome to your Route to command - Exam

500 feet Radio Altitude on all approaches

What is the correct sequence of actions during a go-around?

TOGA, Flaps 15, Gear up, G/A thrust

TOGA, Flaps 15, G/A thrust, Gear up

TOGA, Gear Up, Flaps 15, G/A thrust

TOGA, Gear Up, G/A thrust, Flaps 15

A runway with more than 25% of a third covered with more than 3mm of ‘Slush’ is considered for performance reasons to be a

'Contaminated Runway'

‘Wet Runway’

‘Damp Runway’

‘Slippery Runway’

The ‘Outer Marker’ call on approach is

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

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

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

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

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

25 knots

33 knots

30 knots

15 knots

Which of the following statements is true regarding the Holdover Time?

Hold over time is calculated from RA173 Holdover Tables found in Docunet/Techlog.

Hold over time is calculated from the table in Performance Inflight Vol. 1.

Hold over time is provided for generic fluids only.

Hold over time is calculated from the FCOM tables.

When hearing the EGPWS ‘minimums’ call on a NPA using V/S with no visual contact having been confirmed:

The PF will push TO/GA and call "Go-around, flap 15" etc.

The F/O will set the MAA and commence the G/A immediately

The CPT will always take control.

The PM set the MAA and then take control to perform the GA

During the pre-flight planning phase, what weather criteria should be used for the destination alternate?

If the destination alternate has a Type A approach then DA/H should be +200ft and RVR/VIS +800M

For a CATIII Approach, use the CAT I minima

If the destination alternate has a Type B approach then DA/H should be +400ft and RVR/VIS +1500M

If the destination alternate has a Type B approach then DA/H should be +200ft and RVR/VIS +800M

Under which of the following conditions should both the CPT and FO file an ASR?

A Go-Around has been executed below 2000ft AGL.

A takeoff with MTOW 66,990 kgs has been carried out.

A takeoff with MTOW 74,990 kgs has been carried out.

A Go-Around has been executed below 1000ft AGL.

Which Take Off speeds should be used?

The RTOW/OPT speeds if the FMC speed differs by more than 1 knot

Always the RTOW/OPT speeds

The lowest speeds of RTOW/OPT and FMC

Always the FMC speeds

There is a small amount (1.5mm) of CSFF (Cold Soaked Fuel Frost) on top of the wing behind the engine mount. The CSFF is not completely contained within the black painted lines. Which statement is correct?

This is not acceptable for takeoff, remove before departure

This is acceptable, provided it is not significantly over the black painted lines

Wait and allow for the CSFF to melt

This is acceptable for departure

The minimum flap retraction altitude (MFRA) is:

1500ft AGL

Found on the respective runway RTOW plate or OPT data

1000ft AGL

3000ft AGL

Where would you find a table to establish the effects on ‘Landing Minima’ during LVO operations for various runway edge and centre line lighting conditions if inoperative?

FCOM 1, Chapter 10

RTOW preamble

Operations Manual Part A, Chapter 8

FCOM 2, Chapter 10

The 500 ft call on an ILS approach is:

“Five hundred continue/go-around” (PF), “Check” (PM)

“Five hundred feet” (PF), “Check, passing XXXX” (PM)

“Five hundred feet” (PM), “Passing 500, Check” (PF)

“Five hundred continue/go-around” (PM), “Check” (PF)

What is the earliest point at which the Autopilot may be engaged on NADP2 departure?

158 ft Minimum Use Height

800 ft as the thrust mode annunciates ARM

After the ‘Flaps Up, No Lt’ call
