Dispatch Release

Question 1

What minimum information must be contained in the dispatch release?

Answer 1

• Departure, destination, and alternate airports
• IFR/VFR
• MINTO
• Weather reports
• ID number of the aircraft
• Trip or flight number

Question 2

Using LOE Leg 1 dispatch release, what is your reserve fuel and how is it calculated?

Answer 2

• Reserve fuel is 1971 lb

* Calculated as 45 minutes at TOD cruise power fuel flow (2627 x .75 = 1970)

Question 3

Is this flight planned for method 1 or method 2? What does method 1 mean? Method 2?

Answer 3

• Method 1
• Method 1 requires the aircraft to takeoff at a weight that ensures if an engine fails from
V1 to the destination, the aircraft will clear all obstacles 5SM either side of the intended
route by 1000’ and 1500’ above the destination airport.
• Method 2 requires that if an engine failure occurs, the aircraft be able to divert to at least one suitable airport from normal cruise altitude and the aircraft’s net driftdown altitude will clear all obstacles 5SM either side of the route of flight by 2000’ and 1500’ above the destination airport.

Question 4

Should you expect turbulence on this flight?

Answer 4

No, the Sabre Wind Shear Values for this flight are 1s and 2s which indicate no turbulence.

Question 5

What is the MFPTW for this flight?

Answer 5

49,479 lbs

Question 6

What is your predicted fuel remaining at the top of climb?

Answer 6

4,519 lbs

Question 7

What is your alternate airport? What is the planned cruise altitude to your alternate?

Answer 7

KTUS/13000 ft

Question 8

How much fuel must you have on board at brake release for takeoff?

Answer 8

5,568 lbs

Question 9

What time would you need to get an amended release?

Answer 9

• 1900+2=2100
• Amended Release needed when
i. MEL/CDL item not listed
ii. Change in aircraft
iii. Change in crew
iv. Departing two hours after proposed ETD
v. Return to Field
vi. Departing after an unscheduled landing
vii. Fuel change greater than 200lb or 1⁄2 of Contingency
viii. Add an alternate not previously required
viiii. PIC or dispatcher determine one is required

Question 10

What is the max altitude capability for your flight today? At cruise the current aircraft weight is 44,000 lbs. climbing at .070, ISA Dev 15

Answer 10

FL360

Question 11

How do you determine what the ISA deviation will be at FL 370?

Answer 11

• (-Alt x 2) -15

* -37x2=-74+15=-59

Question 12

You are holding at a SARTE 20.2 miles out on the KPHX ILS RWY 8 approach at 6, 000 ft. due to weather below minimums. KTUS would be your diversion airport. What would your bingo fuel be?

Answer 12

1200 + 1971 = approx 3200 lb

Question 13

What altitude would you climb to on your divert to KTUS?

Answer 13

13000’

Question 14

What speed would you cruise at on your divert to KTUS?
