Big 89 Flashcards
The Captain/Dispatcher are jointly responsible for
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.
When is an alternate required?
– 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
How do we compute landing distance? Normal procedure.
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.
How do we compute landing distance? Alternate procedure.
Factored landing distance.-Determine the Landing Distance (LD) using the appropriate Landing Distance Table
X
MEL landing penalty factory-landing distance x penalty factor
X
SAFO (15% + 500)
What are the critical phases of flight
Taxi, takeoff, landing, all operations below 10,000 ft
When Is the medical due to Kelly Lynch?
20th of the month that its due.
What are the alcohol requirements
8 hours, .04
Report times
1 hour in base. 45 out of base: 1 hour international
Required to be carried
Pilots certificate, Medical, FCC permit, Flashlight, EFB with VOL1 and 2, Jepps. Passport
How do you check the documents for an additional crewmember that is a frontier pilot?
Frontier badge says “ACM”.
ACM Authorization form.
ARTR required
ShAfTmeMI Capt. Supplemental ops crew change Hour past the dispatch release time. Alternate added or changed Fuel added is over 2000lbs Takeoff alternated added MEL added or cleared Mileage increase over 100NM Captain change on domestic/flag flight.
Fuel Requirement for International flight
Fly to destination then furthest alternate plus 45 minutes. 10% of that portion of the route time where the aircraft’s position cannot be reliably fixed at least once per hour.
RVSM Required
Flight warning computer (FFAT 2 PAD Flight control unit-altitude target selction/clb/ops des/mode Auto pilot transponder set to PF 2 PFD 2 air data references 1 required 2 display management computers
Oxygen Required
Cabin pressure greater than 10,000 feet. Or FL250 and 1 pilot leaves their duty station.
Lowest T/O mins
500/500/500 CL and HIRL all three controlling
How to receive a dispatch release ….
FTWEB, Phone/radio with manual dispatch release, ACARS. gate agent
Explained derived mins
200 1/2 to highest landing mins two approaches 400 1 to highest landing mins for single approach
explain 3585
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.

Where do we find CDR’s?
In the blue pages of the Jepps.
When do we need Engine anti ice on.
on ground and flight operations exist or are anticipated when OAT is 10C or less and visible moisture, except when climb or cruise when the SAT is below -40C. Engine anti ice must b eon during descent in icing conditions even if the SAT is below -40C.
When do you accomplish a Pre takeoff contamination check?
When outside of a hold over time or heavy snow
What other procedures must be followed when conducting the pre takeoff contamination check?
Cockpit exit procedures
what is the representative surface?
The left wing on the top
Do Ice pellets have a hold over time?
No
Why do we have to call Mx when getting anti ice fluid on the landing gear?
corrisive nature of the fluid will ruin the brake pads
Df Sustain type 1
4 minutes until engine bleed is turned on. Do not use APU bleed. You will get fumes in the flight deck that irritate lungs.
