RTO POLICY BELOW 80
11 Reasons to Reject
Prior to 80 knots (Low Speed Regime), the aircraft should be rejected for any of the following:
- Activation of the Master Warning/Caution System
- System Failures
- Unusual noise or vibration
- Tire failure
- Abnormally slow acceleration
- Unsafe takeoff configuration warning
- Fire or fire warning
- Engine failure
- Any type of windshear alert or warning
- If the aircraft is unsafe or unable to fly
- Loss of HUD Takeoff Guidance when providing primary guidance (RVR <500 ft [150 m]).
Above 80 knots and V1 (High Speed Regime)
- Fire or Fire Warning
- Engine Failure
- Any type of windshear alert or warning
- If the aircraft is unsafe or unable to fly.
STANDARD TAKEOFF MINIMUMS
FOM 4.65
OpSpec C056
- Two-engine - RVR 5000 [1500 m] or 1 statute mile [1600 m]

First Officer has less than 100 hours Line Operating Flight Time (including IOE Flight Time)
At Special Qualification Airports. • Prevailing Visibility at or below 3/4 mile. • Runway RVR is at or below 4000 feet. • Runway has water, snow, slush or similar conditions that may adversely affect airplane performance. • Braking Action reported less than GOOD. • Crosswind component in excess of 15 knots. • Windshear reported in vicinity of airport. • Any other condition in which the Captain determines it to be prudent to exercise his prerogative to make the takeoff or landing.
3.41 TAKEOFF ALTERNATE REQUIREMENTS
FAR 121.617
A takeoff alternate is required when the departure airport’s weather is below landing minimums (FAR 121.617). A takeoff alternate must meet the same requirements as a destination alternate plus the following:
•
If the takeoff alternate is not shown on Release, comply with “Release Amendments” this chapter.
•
For two-engine aircraft, the takeoff alternate must be no more than 1 hour from the departure airport at one-engine-inop normal cruise speed in still air.
ALT Requirements
Approach Facility Configuration Ceiling Visibility
For airports with at least one operational navigational facility providing a straight-in non-precision approach procedure, or Category I precision approach procedure, or when applicable, a circling maneuver from an instrument approach procedure.
Add 400 ft. to MDA(H) or DA(H), as applicable.
Add 1 statute mile or 1600 m to the landing minimum.
For airports with at least two operational navigational facilities, each providing a straight-in approach procedure to different suitable runways.
Add 200 ft. to higher DA(H) or MDA(H) of the two approaches used.
Add ½ statute mile or 800 m to the higher authorized landing minimum of the t
What is LMC?
Last Minute Change (Freight) - bulk compartment
What are the conditions necessary for accepting LMC?
- Does not cause aircraft to exceed • MZFW • MOTGW - No more than • 999lbs WB • 400lbs NB
Which QRH checklist items always require a “confirm” before switch position changes.
- IRS mode selector
- eng thrust lever
- fuel control switch
- engine or APU switch
- cargo fire switch
- generator drive disconnect switch
What is the important idea regarding inflight EICAS messages?
They are “non-normal” and must be accounted for.
