Profile A — Scenarios

  • Turbulence during descent; high in profile during PUCKY arrival
  • RNP AR 13L did not sequence from COVIR — had to enter manually; direct COVIR; one hold
  • After FAF: braking action POOR → go around; sidestep to 13R discussed in debrief
  • After PF swap: further hold; ATC uncertain on duration; only 7 minutes of fuel; hold max 210kt
  • RNP AR CAPABILITY DOWNGRADED on final; missed approach

Profile B — Scenarios

  • Engine fire after airborne (NOT typical V1 fire — aircraft will NOT remain in SRS mode)
  • Both pilots elected NOT to pull HDG at 400ft for EOSID; continued 520° as per SID
  • TOGA not available below F speed with derated T/O
  • DTO to MCT: pull back to CLB first, then to MCT — cannot go direct
  • Profile B ends with RTO due MLG fire; evacuation checklist built in

Standout Tips

  • RNP AR 13L: doesn't sequence from COVIR automatically — enter manually and direct COVIR. Don't wait.
  • Hold maximum speed: 210kt — note and brief before entering
  • After PF swap in hold: brief the new PF on fuel state and time limit before they take control
  • Engine fire after airborne (not V1): aircraft will NOT stay in SRS mode — be ready to manage manually
  • DTO to MCT sequence: must pull back to CLB first — cannot go direct DTO to MCT
  • Advise ATC immediately of inability to maintain altitude restrictions after engine failure
  • Braking action POOR go-around: consider sidestep to alternate runway; brief this in the approach plan
  • MLG fire RTO: checklist includes evacuation — it is built in, don't skip it

Tap to expand

Profile A — Scenarios

  • Arrives in STAR for 25R; runway change to 07L
  • TCAS event on approach
  • ATC advises previous aircraft made hard landing → runway inspection → go around
  • WX assessment: VHHH 07L only; Shenzhen one runway; Kaohsiung OK but 2T extra fuel; Macau OK
  • Hold to wait for runway inspection; planned one more approach then divert to Macau; decision made
  • Predictive and reactive windshear exercises
  • Approach to stall in landing config
  • UPRT: low energy scenario; stall in cruise
  • Max TOW on 07C with engine failure in the red zone

Key Manoeuvres

  • Runway change mid-arrival
  • TCAS resolution advisory
  • Go around — runway inspection in progress
  • Multi-option diversion decision under fuel pressure
  • Hold fuel planning with hard limit
  • Predictive and reactive windshear
  • Low energy UPRT
  • Stall in cruise configuration
  • 3RS — max TOW 07C red zone engine failure

Standout Tips

  • Structure diversion options clearly before committing: available runways, fuel state, alternates
  • When in hold waiting for runway inspection: set a mental fuel limit for divert decision
  • Low energy UPRT: use V/S, acknowledge being off-track, talk to ATC early — don't fix it silently
  • Max TOW 07C red zone: know fuel/weight state before departure — max TOW changes EO trajectory significantly

  • RNP Y(AR) 31R OMAA; missed approach (nav failure/downgrade)
  • LOC/DME 31R OMAA; landed
  • Fuselage fire on landing roll → evacuation

Standout Tips

  • Green dot 197kt throughout — SID speed restrictions not a factor; no active speed management needed
  • TUGVA hold: 306° inbound, RH pattern — brief early; hold can be cancelled before reaching fix
  • G/S failure at 1700ft during CAT3B: missed approach — do not attempt to continue
  • LVO exits at OMAA: check on FD Pro before arrival
  • Profile B: verify LOC/DME is OMAA 31R (not OMDB) when briefed

  • V1 cut ENG 1; press ALT at 1640ft; GEMIN hold (310° inbound; details on STAR page 20-2P)
  • ILS 16R (EO, manual thrust); nil sighting → go around
  • During MAP gear retraction: L/G NOT UPLOCK; gear cycling (max 250kt); cycled once → cleared
  • RJAA closed → divert RJTT; LOC 34L (all automatics); step descent GIINA→3200ft
  • 10.8 IYQ: preselect FPA -3.0; 5.8 IHA: FPA PULL; visual ~2nm; landed

Profile B — Scenarios (RJTT)

  • V1 cut ENG 1; at 4nm HME ring request PM direct HME; TYLER hold (STAR 20-2S)
  • ILS 34L RJAA (EO, manual); nil sighting → go around (press ALT at 1640ft)
  • LOC 34L RJAA (all automatics); GIINA descent; visual ~2nm; landed
  • LVO additional: RVR 100M at 1500ft → go around (3A requires 200M TDZ)
  • Landing recovery (CN only): ILS 07L; 6 scenarios from 3nm; use sidestick takeover button early

Standout Tips

  • RJAA/RJTT acceleration height is 3000 AAL; elevation 135ft; therefore press ALT at 1640ft
  • GEMIN hold details on separate STAR page 20-2P — not in the standard arrival chart
  • RJTT E/O SID via LAXAS 3A: at 4nm HME, direct HME — STC confirmed obstacle clearance adequate
  • LVO: if RVR below minima at 1500ft, query again; do not continue below category minima
  • Landing recovery: use sidestick takeover button early; does not always require go-around

Profile A — Scenarios (ZSHC)

  • TCAS RA on right downwind; traffic 1 o'clock 200ft below 12nm; climb; cleared of conflict → V/S -500fpm
  • ILS Z 06 (manual, CAT1); land; exit C5
  • Pilot incapacitation: FO conducts autoland ILS Z 06; disconnect AP on runway
  • EGPWS (both pilots): ATC instruction → open descent into terrain; PULL UP TOGA; night repeat
  • Horizontal windshear at FL350; speed decay; PRESS ALT; V/S -1000fpm; speed recovery
  • UPRT (both pilots): nose low high speed; speedbrake required both times

Profile B — LOS (Medical)

  • Pax severe chest pain between MEPEP and NUPNI on Y1 airway
  • Medlink contacted; approves ZLXN diversion; lock position on D-EDG at 120nm to NUPNI
  • MAYDAY; request direct XNN high speed + medical services; IOC; PA; LPA; cold weather corrections
  • Direct UPVOP for UPV08A arrival; ILS Z 11 ZLXN; inside valley request direct XN820; landed

Standout Tips

  • After TCAS cleared of conflict: shallow return descent to -500fpm (not -1000fpm) to avoid nuisance RA
  • EGPWS night: aim 10° pitch first, allow speed to build, then level off — do not pull abruptly
  • LOS diversion: lock position early on D-EDG (at 120nm) to buy time for FM programming
  • ZLXN valley approach: request shortcut (direct XN820) inside valley to save time — ATC approved

Profile A — Scenarios

  • RTO: wheel well fire at ~100kt; park brake; MAYDAY; crew at stations; checklist is airborne only
  • ENG FIRE between V1 and VR; fire out after one bottle; PAN; EO07R SID (include track in call)
  • ILS 07L CAT3B; LAND3→LAND2 downgrade at 1500ft → CAT3A 50ft RA; MAP nil sighting
  • RNP Y 25L (AR); GPS failure at ~2000ft; monitor ANP drift; UNABLE RNP → go around
  • VMMC RNP 34 via PAPA; manual landing
  • VMMC ILS Z 34 CAT2 Autoland; A/T INOP; NOTAM: disconnect AP after nosewheel touchdown

Profile B — Scenarios (MFM)

  • ENG FIRE between V1 and VR; radar vectors south; ILS 07R → MAP
  • RNP Z 07R VHHH; manual landing
  • Evacuation: ATC reports flames from shutdown engine on landing roll; slow and thorough; second bottle may still be available; evacuate opposite side to engine fire
  • Post-PC: KJFK RNAV (RNP) RWY 13L — manual landing

Standout Tips

  • Wheel well fire checklist is airborne only — do not apply on the ground
  • PAN (not MAYDAY) once fire out and aircraft stable
  • Include EO SID track info in emergency call — ATC may not know company EO SIDs
  • VMMC ILS Z 34: NOTAM — disconnect AP after nosewheel touchdown
  • On evacuation: be slow and thorough; may still have second fire bottle available
  • This was fully automatic PC with TAC throughout

Profile A — Scenarios

  • RTO: tire damage at >100kt; ECAM TIRE PRESS; park brake; crew at stations
  • ENG FIRE in climb at ~500ft; fire out after first bottle; insert E/O SID in 30-second break
  • ILS 07L CAT3B (LVO, EO); hold at LIMES; Dual RA failure → downgrade to CAT2 → go around (E/O accel alt 2520ft)
  • RNP (Y) 25L AR; RNP capability lost on final → go around; inform ATC straight-ahead track, need 200kt
  • Divert MFM; RNP (FLS) 34 via PAPA; no VIA; Config 3; G/A alt 6000ft
  • MFM CAT2 ILS 34(Z) autoland; disconnect after nosewheel touchdown

Profile B / Training Items

  • ENG FIRE after liftoff from MFM 16; one bottle; ILS 07R → go around nil sighting
  • RNP Z(AR) 07R; manual landing; EVAC on rollout (smoke from shutdown engine)
  • EVAC switch location critical; horn silence inop in sim
  • SO: Automatic Emergency Descent solo at FL370; ~9000fpm; set QNH after level off
  • RNP AR 13L KJFK: configure early; hazy — look for runway not landmarks

Standout Tips

  • E/O accel alt is 2520ft — do not miss this
  • After RNP capability lost at 25L: go straight ahead and tell ATC you need 200kt (managed missed speed stays at 185kt)
  • MFM RNP (FLS) 34: insert no VIA; starts at PAPA; check missed approach climb gradient weight limit
  • MFM ILS Z 34: turn down HUD and dome light or you won't see anything at minimums
  • Don't evacuate with engines running — systematic application is key
  • AED: don't forget to set QNH after level off
