Question 5

PIC Minimums with less the 100 hours PIC

Answer 5

“High Minimums” - The MDA or DA/DH and visibility landing minimums authorized in OpSpec C054 are increased by 100 feet and 1/2 mile respectively, but are not to exceed the ceiling and visibility minimums for that airport when used as an alternate airport.

Question 6

Short Field Risk Mitigations: T/O & Landing on runways of less than 150% of the required field distance.

Answer 6

• Landing during daylight hours
• VFR (1,000 & 3)
• T/O visibility of at least 1 sm
• Crosswind of less than 15 knots
• Crew members with more than 100hrs in type

Question 7

When do you need to use O2?

Answer 7

Unpressurized:
- Between 10k’-12k’ for more than 30min
- Above 12k’ for any duration

Pressurized:
- If cabin pressure above 10k’, comply with above.
- Between 25k’ - 35k’, at least one crew member must wear a mask, unless both pilots have access to quick-donning masks.
- Above 35k’, at least one pilot must use O2.
- Above 25k’, if one pilot leaves thier seat, the other pilot must use O2.

Question 8

When is an alternate destination airport not required?

Answer 8

If there is a IAP at the first airport and, for at least one hour before and after ETA, the weather reports/forecast indicates that:

• The ceiling will be at least 1,500’ above the lowest circling approach MDA; or
• If no circling approach, the ceiling will be at least 1,500’ above the lowest published minimum OR 2,000’ above the airport elevation (whichever is higher); AND
• Visibility is forecast to be at least 3 miles, or 2 miles more than the lowest applicable visibility minimums, whichever is greater.

Question 9

When does the Company require an alternate airport (not IFR)?

Answer 9

• Braking action less than “medium”
• Crosswind component forecast to exceed demonstrated limits for aircraft.
• Braking action less than “medium” AND crosswind forecast to exceed 15 knots.

Question 10

Alternate Airport Weather Minimums

Answer 10

For airports with at least ONE navigational facility providing a straight-in non-precision, precision or circling approach.
- Add 400’ to the authorized CAT I HAT
- Add 1 sm to the CAT I landing minimum.

For airports with at least TWO navigational facilities, each providing a straight-in non-precision approach or a straight-in precision approach to a different runway.
- Add 200’ to the higher CAT I HAT of the two approaches
- Add 1/2 sm to the higher CAT I landing minimum of the two approaches.

Question 11

When is a takeoff alternate required?

Answer 11

When the departure airport’s weather conditions are at or above takeoff minimums but are below landing minimums.

Takeoff Alternate must be within 1 hour of the departure airport.

Question 12

Standard Takeoff minimums

Answer 12

Visibility 1 sm or RVR 5000
