Environmental Limitations

Question 1

What is the maximum crosswind limit for takeoff and landing ?

Answer 1

35 kts

Question 2

What is the maximum tailwind limit for takeoff and landing ?

Answer 2

10 kts

Question 3

Take-off with flap setting 0 is not allowed if more than 25% of the runway is covered with….?

Answer 3

3 mm standing water

Question 4

What is the maximum crosswind limit for CAT 1 ILS approaches (precision approach) where the visibility is less than 1200m ?

Answer 4

30kts

Question 5

What is the maximum crosswind limit for non-grooved, wet runways operations ?

Answer 5

30kts

Question 6

Take Off is PROHIBITED unless the flight crew has ensured that the wings, tail, control surfaces, engine inlets and other critical surfaces of the airplane are free of …… ?

Answer 6

Ice, frost and snow

Question 7

Dispatch with only frost at the underside of the wing is allowed, provided that the frost layer does not extend outside the fuel tank area and its thickness does not exceed …. ?

Answer 7

3mm

Question 8

What are the crosswind Limitations in the following emergencies:
1. Double aileron fault
2. Total hydraulic failure
3. Fuel asymmetry

Answer 8

Double aileron fault = 15 kts
Total hydraulic failure = 10 kts
Fuel asymmetry = 20 kts

Question 9

How do you determine the rainfall rate in the last 10 mins ?

Answer 9

Light < 0.4 mm
Moderate 0.4 - 1.6 mm
Heavy > 1.6 mm

Question 10

Landing on other than dry runways how is rainfall considered ?

Answer 10

Light = No problem
Moderate = only in CTA if LDR < LDA
Heavy = only in CTA if LDR < LDA

Question 11

What consittutes a contaminated runway ?

Answer 11

Standing water more than 3mm deep covering more that 25% of the runway surface to be used.
Assessed by flight crew after lining up on takeoff runway.

Question 12

What consittutes a damp runway ?

Answer 12

Surface is not dry, but moisture on it does not give shiny appearance. Considered to be wet for performance calculations

Question 13

What is the earliest point after takeoff that tail anti ice can be selected ?

Answer 13

After climb thrust is set

Question 14

When exiting icing conditions with only engine anti ice on, wait how long before turning off ?

Answer 14

1 minute, or in any case, after the MFDU icing alert has ceased

Question 15

Answer 15

ISA +35ºC

Question 16

What is the F100 maximum take-off and landing pressure altitude ?

Answer 16

8,000ft

Question 17

What is the Maximum Operating Temperature on the ground with the avionics cooling operative and the air conditioning inoperative ?

Answer 17

44ºC
