FOM Flashcards
During an takeoff with an engine failure do all companies use the same escape procedures, and what should be done with respect to ATC?
Not all companies use the same escape procedures. Notify ATC of your routing as it is company specific and they wont know where you are going.
With respect to CB’s, please describe how best to avoid them
WIth temperatures above freezing 10NM
Temperatures below freezing 20 NM
If rapidly building avoid flying over the tops unless at least 10,000 feet above tops
Low vis Cat II/III conversion from feet to meters
RVR 1200 = 350 meters or 400 m
RVR 600 = 175 meters
Recommended brake settings for Cat II/III, and SALGA recommendations
minimum of autobrake 3 or 4 and never use SALGA
How often is a fuel check required?
1.5 hours
How often is a position report required?
every 2 hours
List takeoff visibility requirements in order of priority
RVR
Ground visibility if RVR not available or it’s fluctuating due to local phenomena
runway visibility as observed by PIC (NOT in US)
approach 1,000 foot approach gate
fully configured for landing, with landing checklist complete
approach 500 gate
1,000 foot requirement, and +10/-5 knots, thrust above idle, rate of descent not to exceed 1,000 fpm, ILS 1 dot deflection, CatII/III 1/2 scale deflection, non precision 1 dot lat and 1/2 dot vertically
When are ILS approaches required to be Captain flow
below 1/2sm or RVR2400ft
What are visual approach requirements and minima
ceiling of 1,500’ and 3sm visibility, with minima of 500’ AGL
At what speed do we have to notify ATC of changes in oceanic operations
M0.02
During high elevation operations list considerations
Higher than normal true airspeed due to thin air, reduced engine performance, sloppy ineffective controls.
Quito airport and other high elevation airports considerarions.
No flap selection above 20,000. Higher TAS, sloppy controls, reduced engine perfory, escape route are critical in the Andies, no visual approaches.
Use of true heading reference
Operating in northern control area, orarctic control area, or north of 70N, or operating on airways charted as True
