CH25 / SPECIAL OPERATIONAL PROCEDURES AND HAZARDS (GENERAL ASPECTS) Flashcards
MMEL is drawn up by:
The manufacturer and approved by the DGCA
The Minimum Equipment List (MEL) is established by:
The airline operator
A piece of equipment on your public transport airplane fails while you are still parked. The reference document you use in the first place to decide on the
procedure to follow is:
The minimum equipment list
The minimum equipment list of a public transport airplane is to be found in the:
Operation manual
In public transport, prior take-off in icing conditions, the captain must check that:
External surfaces are free from any ice accretion which may impede the airplane performance and manoeuvrability, except within the limits specified by the flight manual
The accumulation of snow or ice on an aircraft in flight induces an increase in the:
Stalling speed
Which of the following requirements should be met when planning a flight with icing conditions:
The aircraft shall be equipped with approved ice-protection systems
You are the captain of a commercial airplane and you notice, after take-off, a flock of birds which may present a bird strike hazard, you must:
Immediately inform the appropriate ground station
What is the most effective method for scaring birds?
Shell crackers
90% of bird strikes occur
Under 500 m
The observations and studies conducted on the behaviour of birds on the ground, ahead of an aircraft taking off and having reached an average speed of 135 kt, show that birds fly away:
About two seconds beforehand
Who has the responsibility for establishing operating procedures for noise abatement purposes during instrument flight in compliance with ICAO PANS OPS the:
Operator
About procedures for noise attenuation during landing:
Such procedures will not involve the prohibition of using reverse thrust
Noise abatement shall not be the determining factor in the designation of a runway, under the following circumstances:
- when cross wind component, including gust, exceeds 15kt
- when the tailwind component, including gust, exceeds 5 kt
- when the runway is not clear or dry The combination of correct statements is:
1, 2, 3
In accordance with (ICAO) DOC 8168 - OPS, noise preferential routes are established to ensure that departing and arriving aeroplanes avoid over flying noise-sensitive areas in the vicinity of the aerodrome as far as practicable. In establishing noise preferential routes:
No turns should be required coincident with a reduction of power associated with a noise abatement procedure
What precludes a runway being used for noise abatement procedures if landing in VMC?
No ILS or visual guidance
During an approach procedure which involves noise abatement, the aeroplane is to be in the final landing configuration at any point after passing the … or at a point … from the threshold of the landing runway, whichever is earlier.

A fire occurs in a wheel and immediate action is required to extinguish It. The safest extinguishant to use Is:
Dry powder
To use(ask) passengers oxygen in case of severe cabin smoke is:
Useless because the toxical cabin smoke is mixed with the breathing oxygen
