ELearning Flashcards
What is a contaminated runway?
- > 25% of runway is covered with water/slush/wet snow/dry snow.
- Depth of contaminants: >3 mm for other contaminants and any depth for compacted snow/ice.
CRO Threat Management: When directional control of skidding aircraft is regained?
Reapply brakes.
Reapply symmetrical reverse thrust.
From which of the following (contaminated) runway is take-off not recommended? A. More than 13 mm of standing water. B. More than 13 mm of dry snow. C. Less than 25 mm of wet snow. D. Icy runway.
A. More than 13 mm of standing water.
Which of the following is equivalent to a wet runway?
A runway with more than 25% of its surface covered with water/slush/wet snow/dry snow and the depth of water/slush/wet snow/dry snow is less or equal to 3mm.
Which of the following is true about Pecipitation Drag?
It is made up of Displacement Drag and Impingement Drag.
CRO Threat Management: To regain directional control of skidding aircraft?
Release brakes.
Set reverse to thrust idle.
For how long is a SNOWTAM valid?
24 hours
How is a TCAS proximate traffic displayed on ND? Red square Amber circle Diamond white Diamond hollow

D. TA/RA
*Weather Hazards associated with ITCZ
Large cumulonimbus clouds
Thunderstorms

RNAV is defined as:
A method of navigation which permit aircraft operation on any desired flight path within the coverage of station-referenced nav aids or within the limits of the capability of self-contained aids, or a combination of these.
*What is Assigned Altitude Deviation (AAD)?
The difference between the altitude indicated by or transmitted through the Mode C transponder and the assigned altitude/flight level.
*Minimum equipment required for RVSM.
1 SSR Transponder
1 auto altitude control system (autopilot)
1 altitude alert system
2 independent altitude measurement systems
Prior to operating in RNAV 5 airspace, you should be aware of the aircraft equipment and local restrictions.
Aircraft equipment and local restrictions are available in the Flight and Navtech manuals.
*What navigation accuracy is required in Basic RNAV or B-RNAV?
It requires a lateral track-keeping accuracy of + or - 5NM for at least 95%?of flight time.
An RNAV system uses what sensors to compute the real-time data required for air navigation:
GNSS
DME
VOR
IRS
Windshear is detected during take off and approach by:
RWS.
Recover with maximum thrust and follow FD guidance.
*Polar jet streams are the strongest jet streams. Where are they located.
They are located 23,000 to 39,000 feet above sea level.
What are vortices?
They are a series of horizontal microbursts that are formed and get imbedded into each other near the ground.
Which of the following traffic indications is incorrectly displayed? A. Amber circle +10 descending B. Red square +05 C. Hollow white diamond -12 descending D. White solid diamond +11
D
*Which is the most appropriate flight crew response to a GPWS warning during IMC?
Immediately execute the escape maneuver.
Cold fronts can produce sharper changes in weather and move up twice as quickly as warm fronts.
True
Which airspace support only RNAV operations?
Continental en-route airspaces in Asia and the Middle East.
*In case of “TOO LOW GEAR” or “TOO LOW FLAPS” caution?
The crew must initiate a GO AROUND!
CFIT
How do we improve terrain awareness of pilots?
Along with technical reasons, HUMAN FACTORS also play a vital part of CFIT avoidance.
In the TA/RA mode of TCAS, on what factor does the warning time or TAU value depend?
Altitude.
*The concepts of RNAV and RNP are fundamentally similar. The key difference is:
RNP requires on-board performance monitoring and alerting while RNAV does not.
True or False. An RNAV/RNP system with multiple sensors typically bases its calculations on the most accurate positioning sensor available.
True.
*Where does an RNAV system obtain the data required to carry out its functions?
Most accurate sensor and Navigation Database.
A key advantage of RNAV over traditional navigation:
RNAV allows the aircraft to fly the shortest route within a network of available waypoints.
According to ICAO’s PBN Manual, which airspaces currently support RNAV/RNP 10 and RNP 4?
Oceanic and Remote Continental airspaces.
At present, which airspaces support only RNAV operations?
Continental en-route airspaces in Asia and the Middle East.
*What are the major causes of CFIT accidents?
- Approaches other than ILS
- Flight crew complacency and visual illusions.
- Altimeter anomalies and complex instrument procedures.
- Lack of flight crew vertical and horizontal situational awareness.
*How long should the GPWS escape maneuver be continued?
Until the GPWS warning ceases and until the airplane has reached the MSA.
How do flight crew avoid altimeter setting errors?
Read back ATC altitude clearances and cross-check Altimeter indications and setting in accordance with company procedures.
Which functions are common to both RNAV and RNP systems?
Navigation
Flight planning
Guidance &control
Display & system control
What is hydroplaning?
It causes the tire to lift off the pavement and ride on a film of water.
