Some questions for Simulator Checks - good for all
Hello fellow aviators.
I always wanted to know more about these. Can you help?
Should we maintain present heading or turn before an emergency descent.
I say turn, my SIM instructor said keep heading.
Most regulations e.g. RVSM, NATS, Specific country and Europe emergency procedures, are clear about innitiating a turn befre descent, so why some very senior and experienced SIM instructors say different?
Other point open for discussion is: You have just stopped after a heavy weight RTO near V1. Will you set Parking Brake? Will it hold? Commence PAX EVAC without parking brake? Is it likely that brakes will be incandescent or even on fire?
Some people stop the ACFT when there is fire, taking a cross wind in consideration others say just stop on the center line. What would you do?
Is there a new standard fraseology for TCAS RA maneuvers? Someone said it is not TCAS CLIMB or TCAS DESCENT anymore but RA CLIMB/DESCENT. Never read this.
If there is any publication about any of those points, please, give us the link.
Nice flights to all! (REAL and SIMULATED)
