Performance handbook 2.0
When would you consider a runway to be wet for performance
reasons?
SHINY APPEREANCE DUE TO THIN LAYER OF WATER LESS THEN 1/8” OR 3mm COVERING 100% OF THE RUNWAY SURFACE. IF THERE ARE DRY SPOTS SHOWING WITH NO STANDING WATER, THE RUNWAY IS NOT CONSIDERED WET.
When >25% of the runway used is covered by any visible dampness1/8’ or 3mm or less in depth. Perf handbook p. 2.3
When is a runway considered to be contaminated?
When >25% of the runway is covered by >1/8’ or 3mm of standing water, or its equivalent in slush, wet snow, dry snow, or any depth of ice or compacted snow.
Perf Handbook p. 2,3
When are reduced thrust takeoffs prohibited?
When OAT > MT (Max Thrust). When total reduction does not exceed of full takeoff thrust. When AC weight > permissible weight. (Duh) AOM1, 5-20 p.4. Certain Departures from high altitude airports. (Eg. Aspen, Eagle) Perf Handbook ASE2. During suspected windshear. SOPM 4-7.14. When runway is contaminated or wet (unless increased stopping distance is accounted for). Always, reduced thrust is at pilot’s discretion. Full thrust may be selected at anytime during takeoff. AFM 2-40, p.3 and AOM1, 2-40, p.2.
Is a runway with patchy thin ice or snow considered contaminated?
If covered by >25%, by a layer 1/8” or 3mm. Perf Handbook p. 2.3
Performance data is valid for what range of temperatures on the
release?
Planned outside air temp minus 10degC. Perf Handbook p. 2.7.
Performance data is valid for what range of QNH values?
Planned QNH minus .01” (E.g. If PQNH is 29.82’, then ok down to 29.72”) Perf Handbook p. 2.7.
If your takeoff weight exceeds the weight listed under the “PTOW PLUS 1000” column, what would you do?
Call Dispatch to get a new release. (No Ref)

Yes. (See AFM Supplement 11, for 15kt allowance. SOPM 2-3.1, AOM1, p. 2-10. 3-16.
Data is not allowed for takeoff with a tailwind. Perf Handbook, p. 2.11.
If weather conditions require the pilot to program REF A/I to “ALL” in the MCDU, and the remarks section states “ENGINE ANTI-ICE ON”
only, are you able to use performance data?
?
If the flex N1 value on the EICAS is below the calculated release
value by more than 0.5%, what would you do?
Not takeoff till the EICAS value increases above the calculated release value by decreasing the Flex Temp until value obtained. SOP p. 4-3.5.

Why must battery voltage be checked before applying AC power?
Because after the A.C. power is applied, the indications will be reading the charging source voltage instead of the battery voltage. (No ref)
If Battery 1 is showing 22.5 volts and Battery 2 indicates 21.4 volts, what action must the pilots take?
Battery 1 is ok, battery 2 needs to be charged, prior to takeoff, duration depending on temperature. AOM1 p. 3-05.1.
