When reaching an aircraft directly from another crew, must an originating checklist be completed?
Yes
What must the captains pre-departure briefing to FAs cover?
Aircraft assignment, projected passenger loads, origination or through flight, forecast turbulence, related weather conditions, pertinent MEL items, flight plan esteemed time enroute, Andy addition items captain deems necessary.
When do the emergency systems and equipment on the flight deck have to visually checked?
When the aircraft as been left unattended by the flight crew for any period of time.
What is required to be checked during a review of the MTX log?
- Correct log is on board
- Verify number of pink pages in log meets requirement (five)
- General review of all pages to understand the recent mechanical history of the aircraft.
- Determine whether the daily system check has been competed per FSM section 3. Normal procedures.
- If there is an entry in the LOG ENTRY section, verify the following fields are completed in the CORRECTIVE ACTION section.
-Corrective action text
-SIGNATURE (corrective action)
-EMP # or CERT # (non QX)
-Date - Verify all fields in the LOG ENTRY and CORRECTIVE ACTION sections are completed and boxes are marked.
(PHASE OF FLIGHT and EVENT CATEGORY are not regulatory, QX DATA only.)
-Confirm MEL/CDL items on dispatch release matches items and effective dates in the log. - Comply with any MELs/CDLs operational restrictions or conditions.
If the aircraft starts to roll backwards, what should you do?
add power, don’t use brakes
When just a Terminating Checklist be accomplished?
A RON, crew is leaving the aircraft for more than 1 hour or next crew has not arrived. Or any other time deemed appropriate by the captain.
Is it OK to complete a rudder check with nose wheel steering off, but with the tug sill attached to the aircraft?
No
The aircraft must be configured for landing prior to what point?
1000 AFE
The aircraft must be stabilized at final approach airspeed prior to what point?
Crossing the FAF on approaches where the MAP is determined by time. 1000’ AFE on approaches with antiquated windshear. Otherwise, 500 AGL.
What is our definition of a stabilized approach?
- Airplane in approach configuration for the applicable approach profile.
- Instrument Approach with vertical guidance (ILS or RMS VNAV)
- Course deviation of one dot or less.
- Glidepath deviation up to one dot above or 1/2 below
- Instrument approach without vertical guidance
- Course deviation of one dot or less
- MDA, -0 +50 feet
- Visual Approach
- no more than one dot deviation if electronic course or glidepath is available.
- 1000 AFE and Below
- Configured for landing as defined in AOM
- Rate of descent necessary to maintain published glidepath.
- Below 500 AFE
- Bank angle 15* or less
- The airplane on profile speed within -5/+10 knots of target speed.
When is takeoff alternate required?
Reported departure weather is below landing minimums for the airport. (FOM)
Are First officers with less than 100 hours in type in company aircraft prohibited from making takeoffs and landings at special airports?
yes
What other conditions restrict them from making the takeoff or landing?
Contaminated runway Braking action less than "good" Crosswind greater of 15 kts Windshear reported at the airport Visibility les than 4000 RVR or 3/4 mile any other condition the captain deems appropriate.
What regular airports are designated as special?
MS0, PSP, SFO, SAN, SUN,RNO, MMH, MLT (FOM)
What alternate airports are deserted as special?
LMT, ONT, BUR, (FOM)
What does the term “lockdown” mean in association with the treat levels listed in the ops manual?
Closure of the flight deck door and suspension of all entry and exit through it.
If a liquid is found onboard the aircraft that is considered suspicion where is the threat level guidance found?
in the FOM
In a FRA is not specified, at what altitude AFE should flaps be retracted?
1000 AFE
Under what weather conditions are complex-special turn procedures mandatory in the case of an engine failure on takeoff?
both VMC and IMC
What should a captain do if a crew member is unable to perform his or her duties?
Contact duty officer (FOM)
