Command Training

Question 1

WX Radar testing Ground

Answer 1

Ground ops. Radar rotating mode is not to be used when following objects lie within 37m:
- ACFT Refuelled
- Fuel tankers
- Persons/Cargo
- other ACFT or Hangers
*if radar stations 60m applies.

Question 2

WX airborne test

Answer 2

At 10,000ft, set range to 200nm line of sight is 100nm
Tilt radar down to minus 1 degree and look for ground return at least 100nn mark.

Question 3

WX hail detection

Answer 3

FINGER
HOOK
SCALLOPED EDGE
U-SHAPED

Question 4

WX Tilt Management

Answer 4

Below FL150 - 20nm ground return. Then divide altitude by 2 and add onto current tilt degree angle

Above FL150 - 40nm ground return. Then divide altitude by 4 and add into tilt angle

Question 5

HEP

Answer 5

With +10 degree set on ground and radar display at 25nm mark. Tops are at FL250
WX painting at 15nm. Tops of FL150

Question 6

GAIN (sensitivity) use

Answer 6

Can reduce gain to assess the weaker part of the cell.
Ensure returned to MAX

Question 7

3 life and death rules

Answer 7

+10 Tilt - any WX at 20nm or greater must be avoided
+10 Tilt - any echo giving contours regardless of distance must be avoided
+10 Tilt - ACFT in landing config any contour with on 5nm cannot be avoided. Conduct MAP

Question 8

Touch down zone

Answer 8

300m - start of middle touchdown marker.
At controlled aerodrome RWY length greater than 2400m. If briefed TDZ may be altered

Question 9

Fuel Procedures

Answer 9

Drain 20 min after refuelling or prior to

Magna stick required outside 5% - Flight can continued if Magna indicates above min fuel, or both diodes 10 would be above min fuel, or if MID/FULL level is used to calculate FOB and is above all mins

Fuel distances:
5m from sealed buildings
6m stationary aircraft
15m exposed public area
15m unsealed building

Question 10

Fuelling with PAX onboard

Answer 10

Advise FA
PAX must be informed of refuelling,
Seatbelts off
No smoking
No use electronic devices
No catering if PAX onboard
No use of DPL etc blocking exits

FA must remain at FWD door

Question 11

Fuel Spillage

Answer 11

PIC must notify FF
Not allow anyone within 15m of spill including airport vehicles
No start attempts to be made

Question 12

Flight planning forecasts

Answer 12

TAF must be valid 30min prior to 60min after planned ETA.
Any aerodrome doesn’t have IAP that can be flow than additional GAF must be carried to required SIGWX above 10,000ft requirement.

Question 13

OEI Threshold

Answer 13

60mins
B - 205nm
WT - 208nm approx 180KIAS mark

Question 14

Manual Flight plan

Answer 14

Saab operations it is done through NOC. They will submit a flight plan built or manually from FOED through NAIPS system or by direct contact with Canberra briefing office

Question 15

AVFAX

Answer 15

Dial in system
Enter account number and password
Enter custom code
Enter fax number

Question 16

De-Icing procedures

Answer 16

De-Icing commenced left wingtip and this is also start of HOT. PIC must then inspect the aircraft is free of contaminants

If engine is cold soaked wait 5mins prior to using HP’s
If BG failures to engage, CL to START and wait until PGB oil is above 25 degrees
Take off in icing conditions or when de-icing has beeen conducted use RATED PWR
Prior to TO roll apply FI + 15% TRQ for 15 secs to remover excess fluid
1/2 bank not off until above ENR+20 in icing conditions above MSA on takeoff

Question 17

Rated and Reduced take off’s

Answer 17

Rated PWR must be used when:
- anti skid inop
- CTOT inop
- NWS inop
- VIS less than 1000m
- ENG A/I ON
- Windshear/ Wake turb
- Gear down dispatch
- Ground deicing

Can reduce on WET RWY using appropriate charts, However this must be ECS off TO.

Question 18

Vref and additives

Answer 18

Vref - plus MI or IC = Vref Corrected
Vref C + WI = Vfa

Question 19

Stabilised approach criteria

Answer 19

ACFT on track
On slope
Correct config
Speed in tolerance
ROD not greater than 1000fpm
Appropriate PWR setting
No more than normal corrections to stay on profile
AOB not grater than 15 degrees below 300’

Question 20

RNP1
RNP APCH LNAV

Answer 20

ENR - 2nm
TERM - 1nm (within 30nm)
APCH - 0.3nm

Question 21

What distance shall you be established on track by

Answer 21

5nm

Question 22

CTA allowed deviations

Answer 22

Visual - 1nm
