Q

What does a 10nm turn on an SDP indicate about the obstacles or MSA’s?

A

Generally this will indicate that the 25nm MSA is too restrictive. Otherwise a straight out departure would be published.

56

For DER or close in turns - V2min-V2max & 15degrees
Otherwise; 250kts & 15 AOB

*However for 10nm Turns & Return to Navaid are not considered SDPs and calculated at 250kts.

57
Q

If an SDP indicates to make a climbing left/right turn and the aircraft is in its acceleration phase, what must be done?

A

Nothing, allowing the aircraft to accelerate in turns is allowed.

58
Q

With an Unserviceable Thrust Reverser what RTOW charts must be used?

A

For DRY - Packs Off, Manual V Speeds

For WET - Obtained from Ops Support

59
Q

Where performance decrements are listed as negligible, how many are allowed, and what penalty?

A

no more than 3 negligible items

above this 45kg penalty for each item over 3

60
Q

When a performance penalty is less than 1,500kg what is the procedure for V speeds?

A

Providing the Runway is DRY, FMS speeds may be used as normal. Only RTOW correction is needed.

61
Q

When a performance penalty is over 1,500kg, what is the procedure for V speeds?

A

DRY:
Insert ZFW+Penalty, note Vspeeds on TOLD
Then insert actual ZFW as per normal with Manual Vspeeds
WET:
As per applicable chart with RTOW correction
