Question 13

Question 14

TOPR gotcha before wdr arrives?

Answer 14

If do so, won’t be able to change whether engine anti ice parameters for contamination, temperature, winds, etc. Only can do so if we wait to TOPR
after WDR arrives.
What weather does the TOPR use if you leave options blank? Latest METAR. may not have rain/WET so always include if you want/need.
Also, always TOPR full length. if you do so you will get wdr for full length +2 intersections. If you TOPR for a specific intersection, WDR will only be for that intersection. However, TDU will always be for whatever you TOPR so if you do need intersection numbers , then you must TOPR for that intersection.
