What’s the temperature at FL150 according to ISA?

What’s the temperature at FL150 according to ISA?

-15°C

because:

-2°C per 1000 feet gives -30°C.

ISA: 15°C at sea level - 30°C = -15°C at FL150

What is radiation fog?

What is radiation fog?

Radiation fog forms on cloudless nights with only very light winds and high relative humidity when the cold ground cools the air above it to its dew point causing condensation (fog).

Usually occurs inland in valleys and low lying areas (as these areas tend to have more moisture) and usually occurs in a high pressure system.

What clearance do MSA values give?

What is ACA/H? What ACA/H did you use? Why do we have an ACA/H?

What is ACA/H? What ACA/H did you use? Why do we have an ACA/H?

Asymmetric Committal Altitude/Height is the minimum height needed to establish a positive climb whilst maintaining adequate speed for control and removal of drag during an approach to a landing.

In the Seneca at Oxford we used 200ft AGL. At this altitude when continuing for landing you selected the landing flaps (check clear runway, on speed, on altitude, landing clearance received).

You now are committed to land, single engine G/A with flaps 40 and gear down is not possible in a Seneca.

What is the purpose of a locator?

What is the purpose of a locator?

To notify the crew of the aircraft of a particular position on the IAP.

Locators have been largely replaced with Distance Measuring Equipment (DME), but they can sometimes be found associated with Outer or Middle Markers where they are referred to as Locator Outer Marker (LOM) or Locator Middle Marker (LMM).

What would you do in the event of an engine failure below V1, and what would your initial actions be?

What would you do in the event of an engine failure below V1, and what would your initial actions be?

Assuming I'm performing single pilot operations:

  • power idle,

  • max brakes (and reversers if available),

-maintain directional control using rudder input,

  • After coming to a full stop set parking break.

  • Inform ATC 'Stopping'.

  • Initiate the appropriate process to diagnose the problem (ECAM, NITS DODAR, checklists....).

  • When performing multi pilot operations the actions performed by me will depend with my current role: PF, PM and/or CM1 CM2.
