AI TEST ETOPS Flashcards
What is the altimeter setting within the Honolulu domestic area?
29.92 at FL180 and above
This setting is specific to the Honolulu domestic area.
What is the altimeter setting for other areas of the Oakland Oceanic FIR?
29.92 at FL55 and above
This applies to areas outside of the Honolulu domestic area.
What does the Strategic Lateral Offset Procedure (SLOP) aim to mitigate?
Wake turbulence and collision risk
SLOP is a standard operating procedure for aircraft.
How must the lateral offset be accomplished in oceanic airspace?
Using the FMC Lateral Offset feature, remaining in LNAV mode
Offsets must be to the right of the course center line.
In oceanic airspace, what increments can the lateral offset range from?
0.1 to 2.0 nm
The offset must be to the right of the course center line.
What is the recommended method for requesting weather deviation?
Using Lateral Offset instead of requesting XX degrees left/right
This increases the likelihood of approval.
What should you do if unable to obtain a revised clearance during a weather deviation?
Broadcast flight identification, position, altitude, and intentions
Use emergency and air-to-air frequencies.
What frequencies should be used for broadcasting during an inability to obtain clearance?
121.5 MHz and 123.45 MHz
These are emergency and air-to-air frequencies respectively.
What actions should be taken if a deviation of less than 5 nm occurs?
Maintain assigned Flight Level
This is crucial for safety during minor deviations.
What must be declared if a deviation of 5 nm or greater occurs?
An emergency
This is essential for safety and communication with ATC.
What should the aircraft do when approximately 5 nm from centerline during a deviation?
Initiate a level change based on the deviation direction
Specific criteria apply depending on the route center track.
Erase
What is the level change for a deviation greater than 5 nm to the LEFT of course in the EAST route?
DESCEND 300 ft
This is part of the emergency protocol.
What is the level change for a deviation greater than 5 nm to the RIGHT of course in the WEST route?
DESCEND 300 ft
This follows the established protocol for altitude adjustment.
What should the aircraft be at before returning to the cleared route?
The previously cleared flight level
This should be maintained before a point 5 nm from the route.
