4200 lbs per hour
Where is there a list of approved battery packs?
IT - EFB Support - Approved / Required Software and Hardware
If the Securing Device is missing or damaged what procedures are followed?
Contact local MX and DO NOT write up as it is not an aircraft component.
What EFB activities are allowed during critical phases of flight?
Jeppesen FlightDeck Pro
Company Manuals
Reader
Are check airman allowed in the jump seat on international fights?
Yes, if previously assigned to the flight and listed on the dispatch release
Does an unplanned diversion increase the number of flight segments to be recognized for FDP limits??
NO
And FDP may be extended only once beyond 30 minutes up to 2 hours, under what criteria?
must receive 30 consecutive hours of rest within the past 168 hours / 7 days
Jumpseaters must be briefed on the use of… ?
Seat Belts, Headset usage, and O2 masks
If the weather is less than 1000’ ceiling and 3 SM visibility No turns… ?
No turns below 1000 AFE
If below 1000 AFE in IMC and experience an engine failure…
Climb straight ahead to 1000’ then turn to navaid or heading… hold on the inbound radial standard right turns.
Simple special single engine departure procedures differ from the standard… ?
A turn to a heading or navaid is required prior to 1000 AFE
Definition of wet runway
A runway is considered wet when it is neither dry nor contaminated, and is more than 25% of width and length is covered by any visible dampness or water than is 1/8th inch or less.
Contaminated runway definition

When is a runway considered to be wet?
When it is neither dry nor contaminated and the usable width is covered by any dampness or water that is 1/8th inch or less.
When is a runway considered contaminated?
