Per aviation law 164-15: - Tampering with the passenger door or emergency exit without proper reason - Smoking in the lavatory - Disturbing any person to perform their duty on-board - Operating a mobile phone or other electric device which harms the safety of the aircraft - Not wearing a seatbelt during take-off or landing or when instructed by the Captain - During take-off or landing, not placing the seat back, table or footrest in position - Leaving baggage in the aisle or other area where it could disturb an emergency evacuation - Operating, transferring or malfunctioning of the emergency device or emergency equipment
119
When may the Captain restrain a passenger?
The Captain may from the moment when ALL external doors are closed for take-off until the moment any door is opened for disembarkation after landing adopt measures to restrain a person if he has reasonable grounds to believe that any person on board an aircraft may impede safety or is about to commit such acts
120
When must the Captain order an evacuation according to Civil Aeronautics Law?
In the event of danger, or when in their opinion danger is imminent, the Captain must order the passengers to evacuate
121
May the Captain deviate from an ATC clearance in the event of an emergency?
In an emergency requiring immediate action, it may be difficult to comply with an ATC instruction in order to cope with an emergency. If the Captain must deviate from the provisions of an ATC clearance, the Captain shall promptly notify ATC
122
How has the non-normal landing distance performance data been calculated?
The following basic assumptions are made:
* Threshold speed = BUG + 5
* Touchdown point = 1250ft
* Braking = Full manual braking (except for anti-skid inop, or when exceeding brake energy limits)
* Temperature = 30 degrees (dry and wet) or 0 degrees (snow / ice / slush)
* Pressure altitude = Sea level
123
What level of reverse thrust is used for non-normal landing distance calculations?
The following conditions are taken into account: - If both reversers are available, they remain at 85% N1 until 70kts - If one reverser is available, it remains set at idle reverse - If neither reverser is available, both engines remain set at forward idle
124
When is an alternate airport not required pre-flight?
* If flight time \< 6 hours & for at least 1 hour before and 1 hour after ETA conditions indicate
* CIG 2000 or MDA + 1,500’
* VIS 5000m or MIN + VIS 3200m
* And 2 hours reserve fuel carried (Preflight requirement, 2 hours cruise fuel)
125
Pre-flight, when are 2 alternate airports required?
When the weather conditions at the destination airport are forecast to be below the landing minima intermittently at the ETA, at least 2 alternates shall be selected. However, if the forecast CIG and VIS indicates at or above 1500ft and 5000m at the estimated time of arrival of the alternate airport, then other alternate airport is not required
126
How many individual altimeter checks are required prior to and during RVSM operations?
There are 3 separate checks that need to be made on the altimeters. They are as follows: - On the ground, the maximum difference between the Captain and Co-pilot altimeters is 40ft - On the ground, the maximum difference between the Captain / Co-pilot altimeter and field elevation is 75ft - In the air, the maximum allowable difference between the Captain and Co-pilot altimeters is 200ft
127
What is the limitation regarding monitoring of raw data during a VOR approach with single FMC operation?

128
If given a landing clearance and the wind value increases above the limit, can the landing be continued?
Yes, if the crew judges that the aircraft can land safely.
129
Speed Planning:
✈ ECON climb – most economical weight based on TOW and CI 73 = 250/290/0.78
✈ Max Angle climb – max climb gradient, use flaps up manoeuvring speed/0.77
✈ Max Rate climb – reach cruise AT in minimum time, use flaps up manoeuvring speed +50
✈ High speed climb – used to shorten Block time, use 250/350/0.83
✈ ECON cruise – most economical and functional speed based on CI 73 = 290/0.78
✈ LRC – minimizes BOF, 99% of max range fuel mileage obtained
✈ High speed cruise – used to shorten block time; use 350/0.83
✈ ECON descent – most economical based on CI 73, uses 0.78/290/250
130

Describe the lost communications procedures – Departure, Enroute, Arrival
✈ Route Manual Basic
✈ Listening watch; if receiving ATC instruction, follow them; follow RMB procedures; use the phrase TRANSMITTING BLIND; use HF if available; SQ 7600
✈ VMC = remain VMC and land at nearest suitable
✈ IFR and above is not practicable or in IMC  Climb/Descent = Last assigned or MEA (higher of) until 7 mins (RADAR) following time reached that altitude or set SQ7600 (later of); 20 mins (not RADAR) following failure to report at compulsory reporting point.
ROUTE = Proceed on cleared route to last point over destination or commencement point of approach; Radar Vectors
APPROACH HOLDING = Proceed to fix instructed as last point of RV or nearest fix towards destination on planned route/last assigned route. = commence descent from last point over destination without delay if clearance was received, or at EAT, or ETA last reported to ATC, or when total EET from T/O reached for destination. = if received instructions to hold before failure, commence descent for approach after holding until EAT, or EFCT, or EET from T/O reached for destination

Discuss RTO policy and high/low speed RTO
“Except for the occurrence of a hindrance where there is a serious doubt that the airplane can safely fly, it is safer to continue the takeoff than to reject it from a point near V1” – Go Mindedness has become Company Policy. It is left to the Captain’s best judgement Other factors to consider... 1. Malfunction that would render airplane unable to fly might be engine failure with thrust loss 2. For other malfunctions in the vicinity of V1, it is safer to continue. Even for EGT exceedance or engine fire, it would be safer to continue, provided there was no loss of thrust. Any system associated with braking like anti-skid or tire failure is extremely dangerous re RTO. 3. High speed regime \> 80kts. Autobrakes OK, no need to disconnect autothrottle. 4. Low speed regime 30m width, RORS = 60m), runway markings, runway distance markings on the side
