Overspeed Event with Crew Take-over and OEB49 Application
While flying at FL380, an A340 aircraft encountered a strong and abrupt tailwind decrease that triggered significant MMO overshoot and overspeed warning.The crew disconnected the AP, took over and inappropriately applied OEB49 (ADR2 & ADR3 set to OFF).This article describes this event and presents two main aspects from its analysis: the management of an overspeed […]
Management of Overspeed Events in Cruise
Modern aircraft operate at high altitude and close to their high speed limits. As a consequence, temporary overspeed events can occur in cruise in changing wind conditions.Analysis of in-service data shows the need to remind the appropriate techniques to manage such temporary overspeed and avoid potential significant trajectory deviation.This article therefore recalls the aircraft capabilities […]
The Adverse Effects of Unrealistic Simulator Scenarios
The use of unrealistic failure scenarios during simulator training can lead to negative training. This article describes the « TOTAL PITOT BLOCKED » failure that is available in simulators. It explains why simultaneous and permanent dual “TOTAL PITOT BLOCKED” in climb or descent phase leads to negative training.
