ATPL Ichihara 08/05/2024 Flashcards
What does [GW] mean in surface Analysis WX chart? How strong is the wind?
FOG W: Fog Warning, VIS 3NM (500m) or less.
What does the hatched area indicate in the upper left part of the 300hPa WX map?
Mountainous area, elevation above 3000 meters. It is the Plateau of Tibet in this map.
What does “-RA” indicate?
If it turns to “RA”, will it affect the operation of 787?
If the rainfall intensity is at or above 30 mm/hr, or if [RI++] is reported (only in Japan) and if the runway is not grooved, apply flooded performance. [AOR.PR.3.18]
What is the difference between Fog (FG) and Mist (BR) in METAR/TAF?
FG: VIS less than 1000m
BR: VIS 1000-5000m
‘What is the Field Condition at RJTT/HND?
Read METAR and answer IMC or VMC
What weather elements will you check before commencing an instrument approach at ROAH?
Crosswind [AOM L.4.1-2], CAT I (15kt crosswind) [OM 5-3-9]
Tail Wind [AOM L.2.17]
Company MIN [OM 5-2-2, 2]
Straight In APP: RVR/CMV
Circling APP: VIS
VIS and/or CIG, if it is established as part of Company MIN
Fuel Plan in Navigation Log:
CON 00/15 2200
RSV 00/30 4500
RSV Time (00+30) is double the time of CON (00+15).
Why isn’t RSV Fuel (4500) exactly double the CON Fuel (2200)?
Contingency Fuel uses estimated LDG WT at the destination airport for fuel calculation.
Reserve Fuel uses estimated LDG WT at the alternate airport for fuel calculation. [OM S-3-2]
Normally RSV should be at or less than double the fuel quantity of CON.
I cannot explain why RSV is a little more than double the fuel quantity of CON in this sample
NAVLOG.
Is today’s route to ROAH a VOR route?
No. RNAV 5.
Where is it indicated in the ATC Filed FLT Plan that you can fly RNAV 5 routes.
PBN/B1: RNAV 5 with all permitted sensors. [AIM-j.304. Table 3-3]
What does PBN/A1, B1, C1 mean?
see [AIM-j.304. Table 3-31]
NAV/GBAS is entered in ATC filed FLT Plan. What is GBAS?
Ground Based Augmentation System. See [AIM-j.Chapter 12]
What does “H” mean in the ATC filed flight plan B789/H?
Heavy. ACFT types of 136000 kg (300000 lbs) or more (except those specified as J).
What is the Wake Turbulence Category for aircraft heavier than H?
J (Super). The only such type is A380
What is the purpose of Wake Turbulence Category (L/M/H/J)?
Used to establish wake turbulence separation.
Do you know any other wake turbulence classification?
Wake Turbulence Group (RECAT). 787 belongs to Group B. [AIM-j.Chapter 12]
Exterior Inspection. What is this?
see [B787 INFO. 086]
Left FWD Fuselage:
Is it the same on Right FWD Fuselage?
AOA Sensor, TAT Probe, Pitot tube.
No (There is no TAT Probe on the right side)
Positive Pressure Relief Valves, Static discharge wicks.
How many pitot probes are installed around the forward fuselage?
See [B787 INFO.086.(5/41) & (13/41)]
[B787 INFO.103.(8/11)]
Total three. One on left, two on right.
How many static ports are installed around the forward fuselage?
see [B787 INFO.086.(6/41) & (14/41)]
Four on left, three on right.
lf the static ports or pitot tubes are found not to be clean, how will it affect your flight?
Exterior Inspection. Radome Diverter Strips. Why is it installed?
see [B787 INFO. 086. (8/41)])
For lightning protection.
Exterior Inspection. What is this probe at the top of ENG inlet?
see [B787 INFO. 086. (13/41)],
ENG Inlet Air Temperature Sensor (T12 Sensor) [B787 INFO. 105. (1/3)]
787 has two ENG TAT probes and an Airplane TAT probe.
These are combined to provide a voted TAT solution. [AOMBulletin.2011-06]
Do you know why spirals are painted on the ENG fan spinner cones?
To alert ground crew that the ENG is running and to ensure no one comes close to it.
Exterior Inspection. What is this?
-see [B787 INFO. 086. (13/41)]
Oxygen Pressure Relief Valve (Crew OXY Discharge)
Exterior Inspection. ENG nacelle Chines or Strakes. What does it do?
It’s a small wing attached to the inboard side of ENG nacelle. =see [B787 INFO. 086. (20/41)]
It creates vortices to reenergize the airflow over the engine and wings at high angle of attack for better performance.
Explain airspace classification in Japan
-see [AIM-j.210-217]
-see JEPP FD Pro, [Pubs], [Company Manual], [ANA JAPAN ENG]
Maximum SPD in Japan was recently revised as follows.
APP CONT Area (Effective FEB16, 2024)
MAX 250kt BELOW 10,000ft. (No limitation at 10 000ft)
-see [AOM PP.10.1, PP.20.12]
MAX SPD in Control Zone (CTZ) at or below 3000ft (Effective 2022)
M4X 200kt was changed to M4X 250kt.
Upper limit of Control Zone?
Typically, 3000ft at commercial airports and 6000ft at military air bases. [AIM-j.214]
Show Narita (RJAA) Control Zone.
Display is available in JEPP FD Pro.
Select [Low IFR], then the [Airspace icon] at the right sidebar.
Touch [CTR (D)] or [(D) 3000/GND] near RJAA.
Narita Control Zone will be displayed in green.
You used more fuel than planned due to a trouble.
How much fuel must be remaining at the time of landing? = See [OM.S-3-9]
Is 15 minutes of remaining fuel upon landing enough for IFR?
No, 30 minutes of fuel must be remaining upon landing.
When do you declare a fuel emergency?
see [OM S-3-9, 3. Fuel Low stage]
ATC phraseology in case of fuel shortage?
Know the difference of “MIN FUEL “ and “MAYDAY FUEL + Endurance in minutes “ [AIM-j. 791]
