FOM 3.20.3

CUS WORDS

A

Concerned, Uncomfortable, and Safe (CUS) are words intended to give
crewmembers a CRM strategy to progressively heighten awareness if they determine
their concerns are not being conveyed effectively. Using the phrases “I’m concerned
about…,” followed by “I’m uncomfortable with…,” and finally “I think this is not safe”

VVM

A

VERBALIZE, VERIFY, AND MONITOR (VVM)
VVM is an effective TEM strategy to counter threats and errors encountered during flight operations. Crewmembers who verbalize plans and ideas, verify them with others, and monitor for the expected result are better threat and error managers, enhancing safe operations.

Q

Is the ALT Legal?

A

• Must be an R, A, F, or P airport.
• APCH MIN being used cannot be NA in the FILING AS ALT box on the -9A page.
Wx criteria:
Note: For circling approaches, use charted minimums, but never less than 1000-foot ceiling and 3-sm visibility.
• Single Approach Facility providing a straight-in or circling approach procedure:
– Add 400 ft to the charted MDA(H) or DA(H).
– Add 1 sm/1600 m to the charted visibility.
• Multiple Approach Facility, each providing a straight-in approach to different
suitable runway numbers, deriving the lowest combination of visibility and ceiling:
– Add 200 ft to higher charted MDA(H) or DA(H) for the two approaches.
– Add ½ sm/800 m to the higher charted visibility specified for the two approaches.

      traffic to follow 
▪️ Stay in Class B,C,D 
     airspace or within 35 NM
     of destination in Class E.

17
Q

A

NOT AUTHORIZED

18
Q

A
▪️Autopilot OR
▪️FD in App Mode
               &
▪️CL operational OR
▪️Runway has visible precision instrument runway markings.

A

4000 RVR or 3/4 SM

20
Q

Can you hand fly a NON-ILS?

A

Yes, as long as the weather is at least 1000-3. Otherwise Autopilot is REQUIRED

21
Q

Stabilized APCH Limits

A
PLAN
➡️ By 1500 ft AGL/RA:
▪️Landing gear down
▪️Airspeed no greater than  
    180 KIAS

REPORT:
➡️ By 1000 ft:
▪️Final landing configuration
▪️Landing Checklist
complete
▪️Airspeed within +15 and -5
KIAS of target airspeed
▪️On lateral profile
▪️On vertical profile, or correcting with bracketing maneuvers not to exceed:
🔹± 300 FPM
🔹Sustained vertical speed greater than 1200 FPM
🔹± 1°
– PM shall announce deviations

REJECT
➡️ At or below 500 ft:
– Except for momentary airspeed and descent rate deviations, PM announces,
“Go around” and reason (i.e., “flaps”)

27
Q

When do you declare Minimum Fuel?

A

Advise ATC and Dispatch of a minimum fuel state by declaring Minimum Fuel when:
▪️You have committed to land at a specific airport.
&
▪️Any change to the existing clearance may result in landing with less than final reserve fuel.
(30 min)
A minimum fuel advisory does not imply a need for traffic priority. On initial contact, “Minimum fuel” should be used after stating call sign.
(Basically you don’t have gas to go to your alternate and you are Prog. Page shows you will land with close to ~3.0)

28
Q

When do you declare Emergency Fuel?

A

When the calculated fuel on landing at the nearest airport, where a safe landing can be made, will be less than the planned final reserve fuel, accomplish the following:
• Declare a fuel emergency by broadcasting MAYDAY, MAYDAY, MAYDAY – Fuel.
• Be clear and if necessary directive to ATC with intentions.
• Do not accept delays.
• Report fuel remaining in minutes to both ATC and Dispatch
(Now prog page shows arrival with less than 3.0)
(LOW FUEL lights come on at <2.0 in main tank [40 minutes])
