A

With an alternate: fly to destination, then to the furthest alternate plus 45 mins.
With no alternate: destination plus 2 hours

Our limit is 180 minutes

46
Q

When do we compute a Point of Safe Return (PSR)?

A

When no alternate is available.

47
Q

How do we apply the PSR?

A

We do not proceed past the PSR without checking WX

Note passing the PSR on the Master Document

48
Q

Where can we find the SELCAL codes?

A

Q pulse will have the SELCAL codes (or the portal), iPhone has our AIRINC numbers

49
Q

What US Customs procedures must we follow?

A

Outbound customs must stamp the GENDECS
Any passenger under 18 must have a notarized letter from the absent parent(s).
eAPIS describes the passengers going in/out of USA
The PIC call CANPASS 2-48 hours before ETA

50
Q

How do you use the Master Document?

A
  1. First pilot checks each way point and notes it with a check mark
  2. Second pilot cross checks accuracy and circles the way point.
  3. Upon crossing the way point the PM adds a slash mark over the circle.
  4. At the 10 minute plot the GNE is checked and a second slash is added.
51
Q

How do you use the plotting chart?

A

Each plotting chart can be used twice with the same trip number.
On the title panel we record the Flight #, date, and teh track message indicator (TMI).
This is retained by the company with the Master Document

52
Q

How do we apply SLOP and why?

A

To escape wake turbulence
We SLOP laterally 1 or 2 miles to the RIGHT
Apply at the oceanic entry point
Must be back on course by the oceanic exit point

53
Q

What are the procedures if you have to deviate due to weather on an oceanic route?

A

If flying generally EASTBOUND greater than 10NM offset and deviating LEFT of track then descend 300 feet. if you need to turn RIGHT climb 300 feet.

If flying generally WESTBOUND greater than 10NM offset and you need to deviate LEFT then climb 300 feet. If you need to turn RIGHT descend 300 feet.

*Turn toward the equator you climb!
