CALCULATING PERF WITH TLR

Question 1

What is the definition of a Dry Runway?

Answer 1

A runway is dry when it is neither wet nor contaminated.

Question 2

What is the definition of a Wet Runway?

Answer 2

A runway is considered wet when more than 25% of the runway surface area, within the length and the width being used, is covered by any visible dampness or water 1/8 in (3 mm) or less in depth.

Question 3

What is the definition of a Contaminated Runway?

Answer 3

A runway is considered contaminated when more than 25% of the runway surface area (whether in isolated areas or not), within the reported length and width being used, is covered by more than 1/8 in (3 mm) of standing water or its equivalent in slush, wet snow, dry snow, or any depth of ice or compacted snow.

Question 4

Are RwyCC values permitted to be used when calculating takeoff performance?

Answer 4

NOTE: RwyCC shall not be used to determine takeoff performance.

Question 5

How are FICON contaminants applied to takeoff performance if RwyCC values are not permitted to be used for takeoff?

Answer 5

Used for departures to identify the runway third with the most limiting contaminant. Also used to determine operating limitations such as crosswind limits with low runway friction.
When determining takeoff performance for a contaminated runway, the reported contaminant type and depth for that runway is used. More than one type call dispatch.

Question 6

What limits are considered by the dispatcher when calculating a MFPTW?

Answer 6

Fuel Burn and Landing weight.
PERFORMANCE MANUAL
PTOW – Planned takeoff weight. MFPTW – Maximum flight plan takeoff weight. This is the maximum takeoff weight for which the flight plan is valid when considering all flight planning limits except MRTW. These limits include the structural MTOW, METW, MLDW + planned fuel burn off, fuel capacity limited takeoff weight, structural MTXW - taxi fuel, and, if required, takeoff alternate METW. MRTW for actual conditions can exceed PMRTW, but the final MTOW can never exceed MFPTW.

Question 7

If the actual OAT exceeds POAT, is it permissible to use the reduced power settings from the takeoff report?

Answer 7

NO

If the actual temperature exceeds POAT and reduced thrust power settings are desired, a new TLR must be obtained.

Question 8

– When are flight deck crews required to make a landing performance assessment and determine a minimum landing distance?

Answer 8

When conditions are different than planned, Irregular conditions.

Question 9

– Based on the planned landing weight and conditions, what is the minimum landing distance at the destination if the RCC is reported as 5/3/5?

Answer 9

RJ 200 release 43950lbs 5355 feet dry runway

RJ 700 release 64580lbs 5678 feet dry runway.

Question 10

What RwyCC values and/or braking action reports prohibit a takeoff or landing with a crosswind component greater than 10 knots?

Answer 10

RwyCC reports of 1 or 2 are reported with a crosswind component greater than 10 kt.

Question 11

CA - If a discrepancy exists between a braking action PIREP and a reported RwyCC, which report shall be used to determine landing performance?

Answer 11

When there is a discrepancy between a PIREP and a runway RCC, the most conservative estimation between the two shall be used.
AIR CARRIER PIREP GENERALLY MORE RELIABLE
RwyCC upgrade and/or downgrade is a result of additional assessments including visual observations, runway friction evaluations, and BA pilot reports (PIREP).

Question 12

Regarding max weight performance section on the takeoff report why do the MRTWs used exceed the AFM structure limit?

Answer 12

MRTW’s are based on performance for a particular runway. Penalties are then applied to determine MTOW. In the event the MRTW is still above AFM structural limits a takeoff limit code of A is applied limiting the takeoff to the AFM structural weight.
If runway is long enough, no obstacle or performance issues it lists a higher MRTW to be able to subtract penalties like tail wind, rolling, etc. and still takeoff at max AFM structure limit.

Question 13

Based on the planed takeoff weight and conditions what is the max assumed temp for reduced take off?

Answer 13

39C RJ 200 release

44C RJ 700 Release

Question 14

13. MINIMUM RUNWAY LENGHT FOR ALL AIRCRAFT?

Answer 14

5400 FEET

Question 15

MIN RUNWAY LENGTH CRJ 700 LANDING SAT 3 FIELD ELEVATION LESS THAN 4000 FT.

Answer 15

700-5200 FT.

200-5000 FT.

Question 16

WHAT IS THE ENGINE FAILURE PROCEDURE FOR PLANNED RUNWAY?

Answer 16

LT 245

Question 17

15. ON A SIMPLE SPECIAL IN IMC WHEN CAN RADAR VECTORS BE ACCEPTED IF AVAILABLE?

Answer 17

1000FT.
Simple Special departures are mandatory in IMC until 3000’ or until radar vectors are provided. They are also mandatory in VMC to 1000’ AFE.

Question 18

16. IS A COMPLEX SINGLE ENGINE MANDATORY IN VMC?

Answer 18

YES

They are mandatory IMC and VMC Conditions.

Question 19

17. CREW – Using the Fliteview Manual Manifest image from the Briefing have the crew calculate the following performance information. a. V speeds b. Can the takeoff use reduced thrust c. MRTW with EAI d. N1 setting with EAI

Answer 19

?

Question 20

Based on the planned take off weight and conditions, what is the max assumed temperature for a reduced thrust takeoff weight from the planned departure runway?

Answer 20

39C

But won’t be using reduced thrust because have to use COWLS for Take Off.

Question 21

Based on the planned landing weight and conditions, what is the minimum landing distance at the destination?

Answer 21

No Thrust Rev Credit
Dry/ R6 5363
