Q

What has mandatory fuel be renamed as? What is the new definition?

A

Additional Fuel is a supplementary amount of fuel that may be required if the minimum fuel calculated as the sum of trip fuel, available contingency fuel, alternate fuel, and final reserve fuel is not sufficient to:
1. Descend as necessary and proceed to an alternate aerodrome in the event of the failure of one engine or loss of pressurisation, whichever requires the greater amount of fuel assuming that such a failure occurs at the most critical point along the route,
and:
a. Hold for 15 minutes at 1,500 FT AAL, and
b. Make an approach and landing

Q

What parts of the OFP Fuel Required does the PIC have authority to adjust?

A

Taxi Fuel: OFP value may be increased or reduced;
 Trip Fuel: OFP value may be increased or reduced;
 Contingency Fuel: OFP value may be reduced;
PBC contingency fuel on the OFP includes a margin above the data-driven baseline
level. The PIC may reduce this margin at their discretion provided:
o The reduction is limited to an amount equivalent to 10 minutes of OFP
contingency fuel, and
o The minimum contingency fuel remaining is equivalent to 5 minutes
contingency fuel.
 Alternate Fuel: OFP value may be increased or reduced by selection of a different
destination alternate aerodrome

Q

What is Minimum Reserve Fuel?

A

Minimum Reserve Fuel is the minimum fuel with which the aircraft shall land at an ERA,
following a depressurisation and / or engine failure.
Minimum Reserve Fuel is equal to 15 minutes holding at 1,500 FT AAL, based on the aircraft’s
planned landing weight at the nominated ERA.

Q

What is Contingency Fuel?

A

Contingency Fuel is to allow for:
 Extended taxi times
 Restrictions on altitude
 Minor route modifications due to ATC or weather
 Errors in forecast winds or temperatures
 Statistical departure, en-route or arrival delays.

Contingency Fuel is planned using a Performance Based Compliance (PBC) system. The PBC system provides, as a minimum, an equivalent level of safety to the prescriptive regulations.

If representative PBC Contingency Fuel data is not available, Contingency Fuel shall be planned as 5% of the Trip fuel from departure to destination.

46
Q

RVSM Contingency procedures for Severe Turbulence and/or Mountain Wave Activity Induced Altitude Deviations ≥200 FT?

A

• Contact ATC and state “UNABLE RVSM DUE [state reason]” (e.g. turbulence, mountain wave).
• Request vector clear of traffic that is occupying adjacent flight levels.
• If required, request FL change or reroute.
• Report location and magnitude of turbulence or mountain wave activity to ATC.

47
Q

RVSM Initial Actions in Contingency Situations?

A

If unable to maintain flight level or unsure of aircraft altitude keeping capability:
• Notify ATC and request assistance as detailed below.
• Maintain cleared FL, to the extent possible, while evaluating the situation.
• Watch for conflicting traffic both visually and by reference to TCAS.
• Alert other aircraft using VHF frequencies 121.5 MHz or the air-to-air frequency 123.45 MHz.
• Alert nearby aircraft by illuminating exterior lights.

48
Q

RVSM Contingency procedure if Failure of Automatic Altitude Control System, Altitude Alert System, or ALL Primary Altimeters

A

• Contact ATC and state “UNABLE RVSM DUE EQUIPMENT”.
• Request clearance outside RVSM airspace unless operational reason dictates otherwise.

49
Q

RVSM Contingency procedure if one Primary Altimetry System Remains Operational?

A

• Cross-check standby altimeter.
• Notify ATC of operation with a single primary altimeter.
• If unable to confirm primary altimeter accuracy, follow actions for failure of all primary altimeters.
Transponder Failure

50
Q

When is a report required if deviating from cleared flight level in RVSM airspace?

A

Deviation more than 300’ submit ASR

51
Q

If unable to get a clearance due to weather what Contingency procedure shall be applied?

A

• If possible, deviate away from an organised track or route system.
• For deviations < 5.0 NM from the originally cleared track or route, remain at a level assigned by ATC.
• For deviations ≥ 5.0 NM from the originally cleared track or route, when the aircraft is approximately 5.0 NM from track, initiate a level change in accordance with the following table:

Originally Cleared Track or Route Centreline
Deviations ≥ 5NM
Level Change
EAST (000° – 179° magnetic)
LEFT
DESCEND 300 FT (90 M)
RIGHT
CLIMB 300 FT (90 M)
WEST (180° – 359° magnetic)
LEFT
CLIMB 300 FT (90 M)
RIGHT
DESCEND 300 FT (90 M)

52
Q

If unable to get a clearance due to non-weather related situations, what Contingency procedure shall be applied?

A

• Turn right 30’ with consideration for traffic, terrain, direction to alternate

• Intercept and maintain a parallel, same direction track or route offset 5.0 NM.

• If possible, maintain the assigned flight level until established on the 5.0 NM parallel, same direction track or route offset. If unable, initially minimise the rate of descent to the extent that is operationally feasible. Once established on a parallel, same direction track or route offset by 5.0 NM, either:
• Descend below FL 290, establish a 500 FT (150 M) vertical offset from those flight levels normally used, and proceed as required by the operational situation or:
• Establish a 500 FT (150 M) vertical offset (or 1000 FT (300 M) vertical offset if above FL 410) from those flight levels normally used, and proceed as required by the operational situation.

53
Q

Define NITS Briefing?

A

Nature - A brief, jargon-free summary of the situation. It should only contain information that will be relevant to the receiver.

Intentions - A brief summary of what is going to happen now.

Time - How long before landing or when the next course of action will commence.

Special Instructions - Anything that you need the receiver to do or to arrange.

54
Q

Yes LVO may be used

55
Q

What is the planning requirement for adequate en-route aerodromes?

A

60 mins EO cruise speed of an adequate aerodrome

Note: There is no requirement for the ERA to be suitable as the saturation of airports normally covers this.

Aerodromes considered in the EDG solution for a route, which are not nominated on the ATS FPL, shall meet the requirements for Adequate en-route aerodromes

56
Q

What do aerodromes that are not listed as ERA’s on the FPL but are required for an EDG solution must meet in terms of weather minima criteria?

A

None, just an adequate aerodrome within an hour

58

30 minutes after entry unless in Reykjavik airpace where transponder codes must be retained until advised by ATC

59
Q

The instruction normal speed when in oceanic airspace must be maintained within?

A

M.02

60
Q

How is additional fuel calculated?

A

Fuel in the event of a depress or EO,
• Divert to ERA, hold for 15 minutes and land.

Note only EDTO has additional fuel requirements for;
• 5% contingency fuel to account for errors in wind forecasting
• Aircraft-specific performance factor;
• APU fuel consumption, if required;
• Forecast icing penalty;
• CDL and MEL item performance penalties

61
Q

A

No, once checked, acknowledge within 5 minutes prevent CLC sending reminders

62
Q

A

No

69
Q

Flight Deck Preparation for deicing? 8 items

A

    or expected.
  2. CPA HOT app. Type of de/anti-icing fluid, mixture ratio (if applicable) and method being
    used (one step or two step).
  3. Monitor the ATIS or contact ATC for the latest runway conditions and braking action and
    calculate RTOW data.
  4. Plan ahead; use the CPA HOT app or Operations Manual Part A, HOT Guidelines to
    determine a holdover time for the conditions.
  5. Consider a passenger PA to inform them of the requirement for de/anti-icing.
  6. Consider additional fuel to cater for lengthy taxi delays. The fuel freeze point (FFP) may
    be annotated in the AML.
  7. Refer to FCOMs for fleet-specific procedures.
  8. If LWES is available always use in preference to a METAR calculation.
70
Q

What needs to be done to the HOT if you deice with flaps and slats out?

A

HOT shall be reduced by 25% rounding up to the nearest minute. If
the slats/flap are to be retracted returning to bay then tracks, actuators, hinges etc. should be
visually inspected to be free of contaminants before retraction.

71
Q

A

The highest assumed temperature to provide maximum thrust reduction

77
Q

When shall a OPT dispatch landing calculation be performed?

A

“This is your Captain speaking. Please observe the seat belt signs are on, and
cabin service will be suspended. Cabin Crew, please take your seats.”

80
Q

What PA should be made in severe turbulence?

A

“Cabin Crew, please take your seats immediately.”
