When can low flying be conducted?
VMC by day.
AirA SI OPS 3-2
What should the RADALT be set to?
80% of lowest authorized altitude.
AirA SI OPS 3-2
Can low flying continue if the RADALT fails? At what height?
Yes. Not below 250ft HAOW 600m.
AirA SI OPS 3-2
TAWS has not been approved for operational use. What should you do if TAWS generates a warning during flight?
The aircraft should be climbed to the lesser of 1000ft HAOW 600m or until the warning ceases.
AirA SI OPS 3-2
What is the low flying minima for undergraduate students?
250ft HAOW 600m.
AirA SI OPS 3-2
What is the minimum height to avoid noise impact to livestock?
1000ft AGL or 600m laterally if vertical separation not available.
AirA SI OPS 3-2
What is the minimum EFATO turnback height for a trained and qualified pilot?
1000ft.
AirA SI OPS 3-3
To mitigate the risks from a bleed air failure, how much flight fuel must be carried onboard (at all times) for continued flight at 10,000ft to a diversion airfield?
650lb.
Note: This includes take-off, climb, cruise and land. This does NOT include variable and holding fuel. Fixed reserve is reduced to 100lb.
AirA SI OPS 3-3
What should you do in the case of a pressurization failure?
Select oxygen to MAX while above 21,000ft and descend as soon as possible to 21,000ft cabin altitude or below.
AirA SI OPS 3-3
When using EO2, what altitude should you conduct an emergency descent to first before adopting a glide profile?
14,000ft.
AirA SI OPS 3-3
What are the minimum heights for a controllability check in VMC and IMC?
VMC: 3000ft HAO
IMC: LSALT + 2000ft
AirA SI OPS 3-3
What is the procedure for a controllability check?
- Climb to appropriate height (3000ft or LSALT + 2000ft).
- Reduce airspeed to the highest of the following:
a. Threshold speed for current configuration (flap/flapless)
b. Speed at which half control deflection is required for SNL
c. Speed at which buffet/stall warning/abnormal control occurs - Conduct straight-in approach at selected speed + 10kts
AirA SI OPS 3-3
What power setting should you select following a bird strike if engine damage is suspected?
The power should be left at the current setting (unless more is required for terrain avoidance).
AirA SI OPS 3-3
What should you do following a bird strike if airframe damage is suspected?
Climb to at least 3000ft HAO at a speed equal to or greater than when the damage occurred and transit to the nearest suitable airfield. Conduct a controllability check.
AirA SI OPS 3-3
What should you do following a bird strike if flap damage is suspected?
Leave the flaps in the current position. Conduct a controllability check.
AirA SI OPS 3-3
What Aircraft Performance Category is the PC-21?
Category C.
Note: Based on actual handling speed. Aircraft fits into Category B based on Vat alone.
AirA SI OPS 3-4
List the PC-21 independent NAVAIDs.
- VOR and ILS (2 x independent RX)
- TACAN-DME (1 x independent TX/RX)
- GLSSU (2 x conditionally independent RX)
a. Both seats occupied OR;
b. The RNAV approach for the destination is loaded in the active flight plan for the forecasted runway with no discontinuities AND;
c. If an alternate is required for a destination that has no ground-based NAVAIDS, the alternate must be calculated using a non-RNAV approach.
AirA SI OPS 3-4
What is the priority for setting the ALT alert?
- Cleared/planned altitude
- Airspace limit
- LSALT during unrestricted descent
- Instrument approach altitudes as follows:
a. Fix altitude
b. Next limiting altitude
c. Missed approach altitude
d. Onwards cleared/planned altitude
AirA SI OPS 3-4
When are altimetry checks to be conducted?
- Climbing through transition altitude
- Descending through:
a. FL150
b. Transition level
c. A100
d. A050, A040, A030, A020, A010 - 1000ft before an assigned level
- 200ft before an MDA/DA
Note: 2d is not required during a published IAP
AirA SI OPS 3-4
What should the RADALT be set to during a:
1) 3D IAP
2) 2D IAP with FAF
3) 2D IAP without FAF or for circling
- HAT
- 250ft
- 400ft
AirA SI OPS 3-4
What OAT requires the PROP and INTAKE to be selected?
Less than 4C.
AirA SI OPS 3-4
What is the take-off minima for the PC-21?
300ft cloud ceiling and 2000m visibility.
AirA SI OPS 3-4
What are the wind limitations for ejection?
30G35.
AirA SI OPS 3-6
What is the downwind limitation for take-off and landing?
10kts.
AirA SI OPS 3-6
What is the minimum runway length for the PC-21?
5000ft at sea level. This increases by 5% per 1000ft for take-off.
