Question 1

Explain how reserve fuel is calculated using the data on the release

Answer 1

15000ft 250kts and burn adjustments made specific to environmental conditions and aircraft’s burn and weight. We will always have minimum reserve of 2450

The only way was TOD fuel flow multiplied by 0.75

Question 2

A minor reduction of release fuel will avoid an overweight condition and allow all passengers and cargo to be loaded. What does FOM ch. 5 allow regarding “fuel decrease”?

Answer 2

Fuel can be decreased by 200 lb or 50% of contingency (whichever is less) without notifying dispatch

Question 3

Explain how the dispatcher calculated your MINTO fuel for today’s flight?

Answer 3

MINTO= burnoff+most distant alternate+holding+reserve

Question 4

At what point in the flight is the crew required to have MINTO on board?

Answer 4

When advancing the thrust levers for takeoff

Question 5

True or False. MINTO is the minimum FAR fuel needed to complete the flight leg

Answer 5

True

Question 6

True or False. The release includes enough fuel to fly to the destination, then to fly to the first alternate and then to the second alternate

Answer 6

False, only to the most distant alternate

Question 7

True or False. Reserve fuel is used for diversion to a planned destination alternate

Answer 7

False, reserve fuel is your required 45 min reserve

Question 8

True or False. When diverting to an unplanned alternate the crew should calculate their landing with their planned reserve fuel intact

Answer 8

True

Question 9

True or False. The crew may accept a flight delay including a clearance to hold even if holding fuel was not included in the flight release

Answer 9

True, if we have enough fuel at that time to accept the delay

Question 10

True or False. Reporting minimum fuel to ATC communicates that you are an emergency aircraft

Answer 10

False

Question 11

True or False. Reporting minimum fuel to ATC indicates a fuel status has been reached that requires the flight cannot accept any undue delay

Answer 11

True, but do not expect to receive priority handling

Question 12

True or False. Minimum fuel is reported when the fuel gauges show 2250lbs

Answer 12

False, report it when predicated landing fuel will be 2250 lbs

Question 13

True or False. Emergency fuel is declared when the remaining fuel supply would result in a landing with less than 20 minutes of fuel remaining

Answer 13

False, 30 minutes

Question 14

True or False. When declaring emergency fuel, the crew should declare MAYDAY MAYDAY MAYDAY

Answer 14

You must declare an emergency when your landing fuel will be less than emergency fuel

Question 15

Your current fuel is 5000 lbs, you have just entered a hold. The destination has significant delays due to weather but remains above landing minimums. ATC advises and EFC of 30 minutes and you are 100nm away from the runway. You seek out a viable alternate which is 100nm from your current position, but 200nm from your destination. How long can you hold and proceed to the alternate with reserve?

Answer 15

unknown

Question 16

Your dispatcher planned the flight to land with 3800 lbs, the reserve fuel is 2300. When determining how long the flight can hold, can the crew use the lower of the 2 values or do they need to plan on landing with 3800lbs?

Answer 16

You need to land with reserve fuel

Question 17

True or False. When the dispatcher built the flight plan, they planned enough fuel to hold, continue to the destination, fly an approach and missed approach, and divert to the most distant alternate.

Answer 17

FAR 121.639 minimum fuel for takeoff. Includes enroute burn, go-around/alternate (most distant), holding, and reserve fuel.

Question 18

True or False. When the dispatcher built the flight plan, they planned only enough fuel to hold and either continue to the destination or the alternate but not to the destination and the alternate?

Answer 18

False, if there’s an alternate they have to plan to it

Question 19

Using the flight release, planned takeoff weight, and current Wx, what are the takeoff speeds, MCDU configuration, and N1 values?

Answer 19

idk

Question 20

What is the minimum altitude a turn can be made in IMC?

Answer 20

1000 feet
