Basic Indoc Flashcards
Who is responsible for the safe conduct of the flight?
PIC and Dispatcher are jointly responsible.
What are the fuel planning estimates for taxi?
Single engine taxi: 12 lbs/min*
Two engine taxi: 20 lbs/min*
*includes APU burn (2.73 lbs/min)
Ref: GOM 03.4.7 (p. 168)
What are the fuel planning estimates for holding?
2500 lbs/hr (42 lbs/min)
Technique: use 50 lbs/min to estimate then refine if close.
Ref: GOM 03.17.9 (p.196)
What does Burn Fuel consist of?
Burn fuel is the amount of fuel to fly from departure to destination (takeoff, cruise, descent, and approach considering winds aloft, plus 10 nm to account for vectoring).
Ref: GOM 03.17.9 (p.196)
What does Alternate Burn Fuel consist of?
The amount of fuel to fly from the destination to the furthest alternate (takeoff, cruise, descent, plus 5 nm for vectoring at the departure and destination).
Ref: GOM 03.17.9 (p.196)
What does Missed Approach Fuel consist of?
The amount of fuel used to conduct a missed approach. Missed Approach Fuel is accounted for within the Alternate Burn. If there is no alternate, 600 lbs will be added for the EMB-145XR.
Ref: GOM 03.17.9 (p.196)
What does the Min/TO (takeoff) Fuel consist of?
The minimum amount of fuel which must be on board prior to becoming airborne which allows the flight to operate as released.
Includes: • Burn • Holding • Alternate Burn • Reserve • Missed Approach
“BHARM”
Ref: GOM 03.17.9 (p.197)
What does Divert Fuel consist of?
The amount of fuel onboard overhead at the destination airport which will allow the flight to proceed to the furthest alternate shown on the release, via planned routine and maintain a 45 minute fuel reserve.
“Furthest Alternate + Reserve (45 min/1800#)”
Ref: GOM 03.17.9 (p.197)
What does the Final Divert Fuel consist of?
The minimum amount of fuel onboard overhead at the destination. Once this fuel level is reached an immediate diversion is required to the alternate airport listed on the dispatch release.
“Furthest Alternate + 30 min (1206 lbs)”
Ref: GOM 03.17.9 (p.197)
When is a second alternate required?
1) When using Exemption 17347
Ref: GOM 1-03.11.1
2) When weather at both the destination and the first alternate is forecast to be marginal.
Marginal weather means less than or equal to 100’ ceiling AND/OR less than or equal to 1/2 mi visibility of the destination published landing minimums or the alternate weather minimums.
Ref: GOM 1-03.14.2 (p.181)
What is marginal weather?
Marginal weather means less than or equal to 100’ ceiling AND/OR less than or equal to 1/2 mi visibility of the destination published landing minimums or the alternate weather minimums.
Ref: GOM 1-03.14.2 (p.181)
What are the planning requirements to reach a takeoff alternate?
A takeoff alternate must be within 1 hour... with one engine inoperative... in still air... within 250 nm of the departure airport.
Ref: GOM 03.14.1 (p. 181)
How is CAT C determined?
CAT C = 1.3 x Vso (stall in ldg config.)
What are the limitations for SICs with less than 100 hours of flight time?
If the SIC has less than 100 hours the PIC must make all takeoffs and landings under the following conditions:
- Special Airports
- Special considerations (PIC prerogative)
- Crosswind comp. greater or equal to 15 kts
- Wind shear reported in vicinity of airport
- Runway has water, snow, slush or similar conditions which may affect airplane perf.
- Runway braking action less than “Good” (5)
- Visibility is at or below 3/4 mi
- RVR is at or below 4000’
Ref: GOM 1-08.5 (p. 554)
“SWRV” • Two specials • Two winds • Two runway conditions • Two visibilities
Ref: GOM 1-08.15 (p. 554)
What are the consolidation requirements?
100 hours in 120 days
(inclusive of IOE)
Ref: GOM 1-08.14 (p. 553)
How is a high mins Capt/PIC defined?
Captain has less than 100 hours as PIC in Part 121 Ops in the particular type aircraft (exclusive of IOE).
REF: GOM 1-08.17 (p. 557)
What are the High Min Captain restrictions?
PIC must increase the visibility by 1/2 mile and the DH/MDA by 100’.
Ref: GOM 1-08.17.1 (p. 557)
Note: Captains are not required to add 100 and 1/2 to the applicable approaches when completing ALTERNATE minimums.
Ref: GOM1-03.14.5 (p. 183)
What is the hour requirement for the crew pairing restriction rule?
No person may conduct ops under Part 121 unless for that type airplane either the PIC or SIC has at least 75 hours of line operating flight time either as PIC or SIC.
Ref: GOM 1-08.16 (p. 556)
What are the requirements for pilot recency experience?
3 take offs and 3 landings in type within the preceding 90 days.
Ref: GOM 1-08.9.2 (p. 537)
What are the requirements for PICs to operate into Special Airports?
No person may act as PIC to of from a Special Airport unless within the preceding 12 calendar months:
- PIC has qualified using FAA approved pictorial means
- Either the PIC or SIC has operated (including a take off and landing) at that airport while serving as a pilot crew member or in a Level D simulator
- The takeoff and landing is made with a ceiling of at least 1000’ above the lowest MEA, MOCA, or initial approach altitude at that airport and the visibility is at least 3 mi.
Ref: GOM 1-08.13.2 (p. 544)
What are the station document retention requirements?
3 months:
• Completed or corrected load manifest (LM-4)
• Signed dispatch release
30 days:
• signed aircraft security search forms
24 hours:
• signed cargo load report (CLR) - original copy
