Q

When does the HOT begin? What does the HOT represent?

A

Final application of fluid commences. (GDPM DEFINITIONS)
A range of time in which the fluid provides acceptable protection for the varying precipitation intensities. (GDPM HOT guidelines)

29
Q

In a HOT table what do the longer and shorter times represent?

A

Heavier vs Lighter precipitation.

GDPM HOT guidelines

30
Q

Wat should a crew use to determine precipitation intensities in order to accurately establish a HOT?

A

Official weather observations, tables from the GDPM should only be used in the absence of intensities listed in the official observations.

GDPM Precipitation intensities and types.

31
Q

Can the HOT be used as the sole determinant that aircraft critical surfaces are free of frozen contaminants?

A

No, several pre-takeoff checks may be required to determine the condition of the aircraft prior to takeoff.

(GDPM HOT Guidelines)

32
Q

What are factors that influence the effectiveness of deicing/anti-icing fluid?

A

Change in precipitation type, intensity, and moisture content.
Change in ambient and aircraft skin temperature.
Position of aircraft relative to the exhaust or prop wash of other aircraft.
Change in wind direction or velocity.

33
Q

Can parking in the proximity of another aircraft’s jet wash blow the deice/anti-ice fluid off the wings rendering the HOT invalid or the fluid ineffective?

A

Yes.

GDPM HOT Guidelines

34
Q

List precipitation types that HOTs do not exist for.

A

Heavy snow.
Ice pellets.
Moderate and heavy freezing rain.
Hail.

35
Q

When is a pre-takeoff check conducted?

A

Within the holdover time and just prior to takeoff.

GDPM DEFINITIONS

36
Q

What is checked as part of the pre-takeoff check?

A

The representative surface from a vantage point in the aircraft that the PIC determines will give an accurate indication of the condition of the aircraft.

(GDPM DEFINITIONS)

37
Q

What should the crew do if they are unable to determine that the representative surface is free from contaminants?

A

The aircraft must be deiced again.

GDPM Pre-takeoff Procedure

38
Q

When is a pre-takeoff contamination check conducted?

A

After the HOT has been exceeded or the HOT is no longer valid due to changing weather conditions, or in heavy snow - to ensure the wings, control surface and other critical surfaces are free of all frozen contaminants.

(GDPM DEFINITIONS and HOT Exceeded)

39
Q

Can the pre-takeoff contamination check be performed if the deiced process was initiated at a location other than the wings, say the tail perhaps?

A

No.

GDPM HOT Exceeded

40
Q

Is there ever a case where the aircraft can depart with frozen contaminants on any of the critical surfaces?

A

No.

GDPM

41
Q

What does TALPA stand for?

A

Takeoff and Landing Performance Assessment.

FOM CH 7

42
Q

What is RCAM?

A

Runway Condition Assessment Matrix is the tool used to assess and report surface conditions when contaminants are present via field condition (FICON). The RCAM maps contamination type and depth to a Runway Condition Code (RwyCC).

(FOM CH 7)

43
Q

What does the RwyCC represent?

A

The Braking Action (BA) expected for a particular contaminant level.

(FOM CH 7)

44
Q

What are RwyCCs used for?

A

To determine landing distance.
Used for departures to identify the runway third with the most limiting contaminant.
Used to determine operating limitations such as crosswind limits with low runway friction.

(FOM CH 7)

45
Q

A RwyCC value of 0 represents what type of BA?

A

NIL, and results in immediate runway closure.

FOM CH 7

46
Q

How long can a FICON NOTAM be in effect?

A

24 hours, and may not reflect actual condition and breaking action.

(FOM CH 7)

47
Q

What should a pilot do when they believe a NOTAM does not accurately reflect current conditions?

A

Consult the dispatcher, airport, or ATC to ascertain current runway information.

(FOM CH 7)

48
Q

When powering-up the aircraft, what minimum voltage is
required? When would you need to perform the SOPM
charging procedure?

A

22.5 Volts, if voltage is between 21V-22V.

AOM1 3-05,50PM CH4.Saftey and Power up

49
Q

After the EICAS is powered, how long must we wait before APU start?

A

After verifying there are no fire protection fail
messages. (AOM1 3-05, SOPM CH4.Saftey and
Power up)
30 seconds after EICAS is energized. (SOPM
CH2.APU LIMITS)

starter run time per start attempt is 120 seconds
(motoring plus start time).
