Qatar Airways Flight Standards have produced these Memory
Flash Cards not to be used in training nor for flight but for your
personal use only.
These flash cards do not attempt to cover all aircraft type
limitations, but rather the more pertinent ones.
Flight Standards will endeavour to update these whenever
required. In case of any discrepancies, the aircraft documents will
always supersede.

a
The maximum certified crosswind value is an AFM limitation.
It is an engine limitation.
b

10 kt, FLAPS 3 is not permitted for landing.
If the airport pressure altitude is above 8,000 ft the Maximum
Tailwind is reduced to 10 kt.

Maximum Positive Differential Pressure 9.2 PSI
Maximum Negative Differential Pressure -0.725 PSI

Q
• Maximum Differential Pressure for the RAM
AIR to Operate?

A
• RAM AIR inlet opens, only if the differential pressure is below 1 PSI.

Auto Flight System
• Automatic Landing has been demonstrated to:
Q
• Airport Elevation
• With a Glide Slope Angle
• Authorised Weight for Autoland

Auto Flight System
• Automatic Landing is demonstrated, as follows:
A
• With an Airport Elevation between -1,000 ft and 9,200 ft.
• With a Glide Slope Angle between -2.5° and -3.5°.
• On runways and terrain profiles before the runway with CAT II/III
characteristics.
• With CAT II and CAT III ILS beam, for ILS operations.
• For weights between 305 t and maximum landing weight.

Auto Flight System

Q
• Maximum Tailwind
• Maximum Headwind
• Maximum Crosswind

Auto Flight System
A
Maximum Tailwind 15 kt
Maximum Headwind 38 kt
Maximum Crosswind 30 kt

ROW / ROP - BTV
Q
• Can BTV be used on contaminated runways ?

ROW / ROP - BTV
A
• BTV must be used only on dry and wet runways.
• The use of BTV is prohibited on contaminated runways.

APU
Q
• How many times can the APU start be
attempted and how long must the wait be
after ?

APU
A
• In the case of an aborted APU start, the flight crew must wait 60
seconds before a new start attempt. 
(This 60 seconds period is due to the ECB inhibition logic after an
aborted APU start).
• After three consecutive APU start attempts, the flight crew must wait
60 min before a new start attempt. 
(This 60 min period is to allow the APU starter to cool down).

Engine
• Maximum Engine Temperatures:
Q
• Engine Start on Ground
• Engine Start in Air
• MCT
• TOGA

Engine
A
Engine Start on Ground 745ºC
Engine Start in the Air 865ºC
MCT 970ºC
TOGA 1002ºC

Engine
Q
• Maximum Engine Shaft Speeds:
• N1
• N2

Engine
A
N1 111%
N2 118.7%
Engine Alliance GP7270

Engine
• Engine Oil Limitations for:

• Minimum Temperature for Engine Start
Q
• Minimum Temperature for Takeoff
• Maximum Continous Temperature
• Minimum Oil Pressure
• Minimum Oil Quantity for Flight

Engine
Engine Oil Limitations
A
Minimum Starting Temperature -40ºC
Minimum Temperature prior to Takeoff 50ºC

177°C during 5 s or
Maximum Continous Temperature
163°C during 20 min
Minimum Oil Pressure 25 PSI
6 quarts plus 0.4 quarts/hr,
Minimum Oil Quantity for Flight but not lower than 10 quarts

Engine
Q
• Engine Starter Limitations:

Engine
• Three periods of 5 min continuous starter use are possible.
• The FADEC monitors the starter-on time. When the starter-on time exceeds 5 min
continuous operation, the ENG x START FAULT STARTER TIME EXCEEDED ECAM alert
A
triggers. The starter-on time resets when the flight crew sets to off the ENG MASTER
lever.
• The starter-on time begins when the flight crew sets to on the ENG MASTER lever and
stops when the starter disengages, i.e. when N2 is 58.4%.
• After a long period of use, a starter cool down period is required, approximately 2
min cool down for each minute of starter time.
• When the starter accumulates 15 min of use, the starter must cool down for 30 min
before a new engine start is attempted.
• If the N2 is above 25%, no running engagement of the starter is possible.
• Note: High tailwinds (i.e. higher than 25 kt) may have an adverse effect on start. 
It may be necessary to reposition the airplane into the wind.

Tail Strike
Q
• Maximum Pitch Attitude on Ground

Tail Strike
Maximum Pitch Attitude on Ground
Fully Extended Main L/G 13.5º
A
Fully Compressed Main L/G 11.5º
