Adverse Weather Ops Flashcards
Increase in tailwind
Will fly below glide path
Crossing ITCZ and face a CB in front which you navigate through
Might experience erroneous readings of air parameters
Prior to takeoff, there’s a microburst ahead
Delay takeoff
Landing at an airport with wind shear
Delay landing
Encounter wind shear after takeoff
Maintain flap and gear extension until cleared terrain
Define low level windshear
Vertical/horizontal change in direction and/or wind speed change on approach flight path and departure lanes
Define updraft/downdraft shear
Changes in vertical component of wind with horizontal distance
Define microburst
Wind accel in horizontal and vertical direction
Wind shear reported just before approach to land. What should you do?
Hold or divert to alternate
Microburst ahead or you and to the right whilst on the glide path
IAS INCREASE, plane drifts to the LEFT, you are ABOVE glidepath
Encountering downdraft
Increase headwind and decrease tailwind
What horizontal wind speed should be expected directly underneath microburst?
0 kts
Directly under a microburst, VSI reads
0 kts
Which part of ops manual will you find info on wind limitations for contaminated runway
Part B
Example of estimated/observed braking action ?
3/4/3
What would be shown on a snowtam to represent braking action? (Example)
4/5/4
Where would you find info on bird migration areas/routes?
AIP Part 2 ENR
During flight an a/c suffers bird strike. Commander shall?
Submit written bird strike report to authority
During flight, part of aircraft concerning measurement of engine parameters gets blocked
A/P may get errors and constantly adjust thrust levels
