FOM Ch. 10 - Flight operations Flashcards
What defines stabilized approach?
(10.1.16)
-on flight path
-configured for landing
-on speed
Stabilized approach- on flight path means:
-correct airport/runway
-only small changes in pitch/heading to maintain
-sink rate <1,000fpm unless briefed or high vref
-ILS: within 1 dot vertical and lateral deviation
-Non-ILS: on VNAV path (VTK +/-75ft) and
-On 10sm scale, LNAV course touching aircraft or XTK error within 1/2 of rnp requirement
- within 1 dot of lay deviation (LOC/VOR)
Visual: on VNAV path or glide path of vasi/papi and on centerline with wings level by 300ft gal.
Note: PAPI of three red or three white are considered slightly low or slightly high. Four white is unstable. Go around.
Stabilized approach- configured for landing:
-airplane configured as planned (including gear, flaps, and speed brake)
-landing checklist complete
Stabilized approach - On Speed means:
-on target speed, with normal bracketing and momentary deviations
-thrust is stabilized to maintain target speed
Note: frequent or sustained deviations are considered unstable. Go around.
Stabilized approach - landing:
Go Around if:
-airspeed
Automation policy
Automation is provided to enhance safety, maximize efficiency, reduce crewmember workload, and improve operational capabilities. When should we “hand fly”?
FOM 10.1.3
Whenever possible in a low threat environment or where procedures and regulations do not require the use of an auto pilot, manual flying is permitted and encouraged to maintain basic fundamental flying skills.
Transfer of controls
FOM 10.1.3
-When PF leaves his duty station or engages in any other tasks other than PF responsibilities
-Transfer of control should be made with no assumptions.
When should the PM assume control?
(Two alert policy - flight crew incapacitation FOM 10.1.4)
If a deviation occurs, the PM should query, alert, or warn the PF. After two communications with no response from the pilot flying, the other crew member or crewmembers should suspect incapacitation and consider taking action. And critical situations, action will be taken prior to a second communication.
(See Flight crew incapacitation FOM 19.1.10)
Can we turn off the flight data recorder or cockpit voice recorder?
FOM 10.1.6
The flight data recorder and cockpit voice recorder shall not be selected off except when essential to preserve accident or serious incident related data.
The CVR is to be deactivated immediately after termination of a flight involving an NTSB reportable event
What NTSB reportable events do we turn off CVR? (NTSB 830)
C1.26
-flight control system malfunction or failure
-inability of any required flight crew member to perform normal flight duties as a result of injury or illness
-Failure of any internal turbine engine component that results in the escape of debris other than out of the exhaust path
-inflight fire
-aircraft collision in flight
-damage to property, other than aircraft, >$25,000
-TCAS RA when compliance necessary to avert risk of collision
-lands or takes off from taxiway, wrong runway, etc
-experiences runway incursions that requires immediate corrective action to avoid collision
-inflight failure of electrica system that results in sustained use of emergency bus powered by back up source such as battery, APu, or RAT
-inflight failure of hydraulic system that results in remaining hydraulic or mechanical system to move controls.
-sustained loss of power or thrust
-evacuation
Which documents are required to be carried on the airplane to its destination?
FOM 10.1.6
-signed copy of master OFP
-Wx, NOTAMs, and company NOTAMs
-load manifest
-Aircraft log with airworthiness release
-Pilot route certification (accomplished with PIC’s signature on release)
-Fuel receipts, if required
-signed copies of NOTOC, if required
-GenDec, if required
-Permit to Proceed, if required
-DHL cert of tender, if required
Which documents are required to be left at the departure station?
FOM 10.1.6
-signed copy of flight plan
-signed copy of load manifest
-signed NOTOC, if req’d
-yellow and Pink fuel sheet copies, if req’d
-security sheet, if req’d
After completion of each flight, the first officer ensures the following documents are placed in the trip envelope
FOM 10.1.7
-signed master flight plan
-Weather and NOTAMs
-company NOTAMs
-load manifest
-Acars print outs (departure clearance, oceanic clearance, dispatch/flight release amendments
-TLR info (either FDP, TLR, or live Calc numbers)
-fuel receipts
-plotting chart, if req’d
-NOTOC copies
-load planner form, if req’d
If a flight is non-routine, all flight documents must be retain and delivered to dispatch. A non-routine flight is anyone of the following
FOM 10.1.7
-Any damage to aircraft
-Emergency landing
-Overweight landing
-Any injury to crew or occupants
-Alleged ATC deviation
-Any unusual occurrence that may require the complete set a flight documents
Minimum runway width for the Boeing 737 is:
FOM 10.1.12
98 ft
