Q

The Captain/Dispatcher are jointly responsible for

A

The Captain and Dispatcher are jointly responsible for the preflight planning of each flight and shall determine the suitability of the weather, field, traffic and airway facilities on that particular flight. Both the Captain and the Dispatcher have the authority to delay the flight. If during the course of operations, the PIC or Dispatcher determine the flight cannot be completed safely, the PIC may not allow the flight to continue to the planned destination.

Q

When is an alternate required?

A

– Domestic Ops – 1 hour prior to 1 hour after ETA less than 2000ft ceilings and 3 miles visibility
- Flag operations, 123 rule and the greater of 2000ft AFE or 1500ft above the IAP to be used at
that airport, & visibility of 3SM or 2SM above the lowest applicable visibility requirements whichever is greater.
Marginal Weather- Weather is considered marginal if the ceiling is within 100ft and the visibility is within 1/2SM of the minimums for the destination airport and the ceiling is within 100ft and the visibility is within 1/2SM of the derived alternate minimums for the first alternate. If you meet both those criteria the weather is considered “Marginal” and you must file a second alternate that meets derived alternate minimum requirements.
Method 2 Alternate- If the aircraft weight is such that it cannot meet the terrain clearance requirements of Method 1 you can file Method 2 which requires the aircraft to maintain 2000ft above terrain within 5 miles of the centerline for that route segment being flown. Requires that, if an engine failure occurs at cruise altitude, the aircraft be able to divert to at least one suitable airport from a normal cruise altitude along that segment of the driftdown flightplan.
Off-line Charter- If either the Departure airport or the Destination airport are not listed as a “R” regular airport in the AIP “Blue Pages” an alternate airport must be listed on the release.
International Flights- If the flight time will exceed 6.0 hours an alternate must be listed on the release due to the reliability limitation on the IRs of 6.2 hours. An alternate must also be listed forinternational flights if the destination airport is singlerunway.
Sever Icing- If sever icing conditions are forecast +/- 1 hour of ETA, a suitable alternate must belisted on the release.
Thunderstorms- if thunderstorms are forecast +/- 1 hour of arrival time dispatch will provide an alternate and 45 minutes of additional contingency fuel. If the alternate is not provided the crew will contact dispatch and discuss the probability of the TS or VCTS and determine a course of action that both feel comfortable with. Takeoff Alternate- If the weather at the departure airport is below CAT I landing minimums a takeoff alternate is required that meets the following requirements:
§ Be within 1 hour normal cruise speed
§ Single Engine
§ Still Air
§ Be within 330 NM of departureairport
RNAV Only Approach- If the destination airport does not have any operational ground based approaches an alternate must be filed with a suitable non-RNAV approach
- Flight can be dispatched to destination or an alternate airport when the weather forecast for either or both airports use conditional words such as “BECMG” , “PROB” , “TEMPO” in the remarks section. If this is the case, two alternates must be listed on the dispatch release and the remarks section of the release must show that the flight is being dispatched under exemption 3585.
§ Destination airport,
§ 1st Alternate,
§ 2nd Alternate
§ Fuel Requirements for 3585
• Fly to destination
• Fly to and land at the most distant alternate, taking expected ATC routing into account
• Fly for 45 minutes at normal cruising fuel consumption

Q

How do we compute landing distance? Normal procedure.

A

Flight crews will obtain the actual landing performance data based on conditions existing at the time of arrival, and those conditions shall include current weather, runway conditions (RwyCC’s), the airplane’s weight, braking systems to be used. Landing performance data can be obtained via either the AOC Landing Performance Assessment tool (refer to 5.20 ACARS) if available, or from the Landing Performance Tables provided in the QRH.

Q

explain 3585

A

If the TAF main body shows weather meets the weather mins for an approach but the TAF conditional working says TEMPO or PROB and shows weather that falls below mins during your time of arrival. And your alternate is the same. Then you are using the TAF conditional working for dispatach based on the requirements of 3585. 1/2 of visibility required at destination. 1/2 vis and ceiling of derived mins at alternate) then you need a second alternate.
