AIRMANSHIP/ INFLIGHT PROCEDURES

SOP’s

What are SOP’s? Standard Operating Procedures

Why do you think companies have SOPs? Safety and continuity

Failures (Engine/Radios etc)

If you had an engine failure on takeoff what procedure would you follow?

What would you do in the event of an engine failure below V1? How? Stop the aircraft

What's the procedure? Refer to the QRH

Green landing gear lights are inop, how would you know that the gear is down?
First I would ask ATC to confirm if the landing gear is down. If It I down but I have a doubt
about it being locked I would retract it then use the emergency gear extension tu be sure.

You are on a flight from Stansted to Amsterdam and just after T/O you are at your cleared
level of 2000ft when you have a complete radio failure. What are your actions? Fly for 7
mins on same heading, then return to flight plan

Tell me about the radio failure procedures on a SID. Check SID for procedures. If not,
continue sid or fl for 7 mins etc

Normal Procedures

You are flying in a straight line on an airway when your company calls and requests you to
return to base, how will you turn around? Liaise with ATC

If you had to approach the landing gear, where do you approach from? Front or back, not side

What do you need to descend from MDA on a non-precision approach? Visual

If you had to explain to your neighbour what is the difference between a precision and a non-
precision approach. Precision=G/S + LOC. Non-prec=LOC

RVSM? Standing for Reduced vertical separation minima. FL290 < X < FL410.
Requirements: two altitude measurement systems; an automatic altitude-keeping, 1 altitude
reporting Xponder, 1 altitude alerting device)

What timing for holds above 140000, 1.5min


What would I do If I encounter windshear: It is achieved by pitching toward an initial target
attitude while using necessary thrust to effect escape.

Explain TO alternate and Enroute Alternate ERA


TO Altn : si minims at departure aerodrome > need one Altn Departure at 60 minutes OEI
speed
Enroute Altn : an alternate airport along the route where the minima can

Types of fuel (taxi/trip/cont/altn/final reserve/extra/additional)


Taxi: taxi fuel before TO + APU consumption
Trip: from take-off to landing
Cont.: 5% of the trip fuel or 5’ in level flight at 1500ft
Altn: to fly from the MAP to the alternate aerodrome.
Reserve: 30’ for turbines ac/45’ for pistons ac
Additional: fuel to get to an ERA from the worst point along the route, hold 15’ at 1500ft and
land
Extra: anticipated delays or operational constraints
Discretionary: captain discretion

The fuel policy typically includes factors such as:

1. Minimum fuel requirements: Regulations and company policies dictate the minimum
amount of fuel required for each flight, considering factors like distance, alternate airport
requirements, weather conditions, and any potential delays.

2. Contingency fuel: Additional fuel is often carried to account for unexpected events, such as
holding patterns due to air traffic congestion or adverse weather conditions at the destination
airport.

3. Reserve fuel: A specific amount of fuel is reserved as a safety margin to accommodate


unforeseen circumstances, such as diversions to alternate airports or extended flight times due
to unexpected headwinds.

4. Fuel planning: Pilots are responsible for calculating the fuel required for each flight based
on factors like aircraft weight, route distance, expected weather conditions, and air traffic
control restrictions.

During the interview, candidates may be asked about their understanding of fuel policies,
their experience with fuel planning and calculations, and how they ensure compliance with
regulations and company procedures to maintain flight safety.
