CH4 Normal Flight Ops Flashcards
Can you perform Side step maneuver in vmc conditions
If it can be completed safely; and if you can be stabilized/established on runway centerline no lower than 500’AGL
Are AMF crews authorized to conduct ILS PRM approaches?
Only with required additional training
Are AMF crews authorized to conduct parallel and simultaneous parallel approaches?
Yes, all crews are trained for these
Are AMF crews authorized to conduct radar approaches
No. Except for while exercising emergency PIC authority under 91.3 or 135.19
Which conditions must be met to descend below MDA/DA
1) must achieve and maintain visual reference with airport or airport environment
2) must have required visibility prescribed by IAP
2a) also must be within prescribed circling approach distance
3) aircraft has reached VDP, if available
4) aircraft is in position to make normal landing, and has at least one of the required visual references continuously in sight
What are the required visual references required to descend below MDA/DA
1) runway, runway markings, runway lights
2) threshold, threshold markings, threshold lights
3) TDZ, TDZ markings, TDZ lights
4) approach light system
5) VASI or PAPI
6) REIL
Are crews permitted to conduct contact approaches?
• crew has completed training IAW FOTM
• airport must have SIAP
• flight operates under IFR and approach is ATC authorized
• reported vis/RVR is reported above prescribed minimums for that runway, or one sm, whichever is higher
• remains clear of clouds throughout approach
• vis is sufficient to avoid all obstacles/navigate visually
• flight does not operate below MEA/MSA, MVA or FAV altitude until:
- below any cloud base that constitutes a ceiling
- airport is in sight, and pilot can maintain visual contact with airport throughout approach
• flight does not descend below lowest applicable MDA until in position to make normal landing
•
Are crews permitted to use STIPs? Into which airports?
Yes.
KRNO
When are engine trend checks not Req’d
- moderate turbulence
- training flights
- checkrides
- high workload environment/terminal area
When are weekly checks to be accomplished
- the day set for each base
- last leg terminating in a maintenance base
Cargo bay inspections
Shall be accomplished anytime that cargo is offloaded. All cargo compartments shall be checked to ensure no cargo is left behind.
Engine starts using battery power for SA227/BE1900 aircraft
Chapter 4 (4-1-3)
Can be done, but must fill out an incident report!!
Seat belt and shoulder harness 135.171
PIC must ensure SEATBELTS fastened prior to engine start
Shoulder harnesses - must be worn during TOL, under part 135
Under part 91, must remain on while seated
VOR CHECKS
Part 91 - every 30 days
AMF policy - every 20 days
(However, part of weekly checks)
Are flight crews allowed to operate in class A airspace using RNAV if VOR/ADF/DME equipment is inoperative?
No. Must be operative
When must you check RAIM coverage?
Prior to operating under IFR using RNAV systems
Preflight inspection - maintenance items to be checked
- Req’d inspections due
- status of deferred Mx
- release for return to service entries
- airworthiness release entries
- VOR checks
Preflight inspection - aircraft docs/eligibility/security
ARROW-HOMME
(Airworthiness, registration, radio operators license, operating limitations, weight and balance)
(Hazmat, GOM, MEL, AML, ERG)
Preflight - aircraft onboard equipment
- fire extinguisher
- O2
- avionics as Req’d
- avionics as Req’d
If crew is late to aircraft, what other preflight options are available?
Current and qualified captain can perform preflight.
Must be complete in its entirety
Void if aircraft is moved
Also, accepting captain must make Req’d entry in AML, ‘accepting’ the preflight.
Captain that performed preflight must make Req’d AML entry per GOM section 4-2-2
In what weather conditions can a first officer not conduct takeoff operations?
In wx less than 400’ and/or less than 1sm. PIC shall conduct takeoff and not transfer controls until above 1500’
Wx mins for sidestep maneuver
700’ and 3sm
AMF aircraft VFR wx mins
Day - at least 500’ above surface and 500’ horizontally from any obstacle
Night - at least 1000’ above highest obstacles with 5sm horizontally
Or in mountainous terrain 2000’ above and 5sm horizontal
Uncontrolled airspace - must have at least 1000’ and 2sm
Max holding speeds
200KIAS 14,000’
