Q

Block-Turn-Back (BTB)(1.07)

A

Occurs when a flight is pushed back from the gate and later returns to a gate or designated parking spot and;

-AMT is required to board the aircraft
-Crew replacement/duty time limitations
-Changing of cargo/load
-Natural phenomenon (weather or ATC delay)

Required documents to legally depart:
1. New Flight Release
2. New Weight and Balance
3. Fuel Service Form (if additional fuel required)
4. New eMR (when in use)

NOTE
Returning to a gate or designated parking spot for the sole purpose of deconflicting aircraft movement area to accomplish PDM is not a BTB. Movement to a maintenance area is not a BTB.

Non-Movement Area: NOT ATC Controlled

For operations with less than 600 RVR, taxiway centerline lights must be installed and operational from the landing runway to the non-movement area.

Taxiway centerline lights alternate Amber and Green: ACFT still in the ILS critical area.
Taxiway centerline lights become all Green: ACFT is clear of the runway and the critical area.

OPERATING EXPERIENCE CONSOLIDATION REQUIREMENTS (3.13)

A

100 hours Flight Time (including IOE) within 120 days after Type Rating (can extend to 150 days if checked)

Regardless of the seat position if there is a Relief Pilot, 2/3 of the flight time counts for consolidation on a 3 pilotflight crew and 1/2 of the flight time counts on a 4 pilot flight crew.

757/767 Consolidation: If checked out on both, different rules apply

C078 (HUD) and C048 EFVS Training Consolidation:
Newly activated Captains: must conduct and log,
-(6) takeoffs using the HUD, with or without takeoff guidance
-(6) approaches using the HUD/EFVS in conditions greater than or equal to current applicable weather minimums in order to consolidate their training.

Once complete, the currency status for HUD and EFVS is shown under the “H” and “E”columns of the crewmember’s information section of the Release.

NextGen APS

These performance calculations are from performance software hosted on an FAA certified ground-based server. The flight crew accesses the performance software via ACARS. Current METAR data, MEL/CDL affecting performance, and runway NOTAMs are included in the performance data calculation for the runways requested.
The performance software is continually updated and is valid anytime it is accessed.
If the performance software cannot be accessed, use the EFB APS as outlined below.

When the release must be signed manually at a Ramp, a copy must be left with the Ramp Agent

Amendments must be kept via paper, ACARS, or notes app until end of flight.

Any flight issued a new Flight Release (e.g., up-numbering due to BTB, fuel uplift, MEL added, etc.) may be dispatched with ACARS fuel number if fuel total or burn is different from original Release.

If unable to obtain a WX data-com number, a copy of the Release and weather packet must be turned into the local ramp or to Flight

MDA / DDA / DA = Barometric Pressure (altitudes)
DH / AH = Radar Altimeter (heights)

MD-11 (FMS-923 with PROF to MDA Option)/MD-10:
On RNAV approach use the lower of LNAV/VNAV or LNAV minimums and treat as an MDA. For all other non-precision approaches minimums are an MDA.

A Non-Precision Approach (NPA) (DDA)
With MDA minimums must be flown using a barometric DDA. To calculate a DDA, adjust the published MDA by adding 50 ft
Except MD-11/10, use MDA

CAT I: (DA)
-All CAT I approaches use barometric altitude

CAT II: (DA or DH)
-Where RA NOT AUTHORIZED appears on the approach plate, the DA is determined using barometric altimeter
-In all other CAT II approaches, DH is determined from the radio altimeter (RA on approach plate)

CAT III: (DH or AH)
-DH or AH is determined from the radio altimeter
-DH is used if visual reference is required to land
-AH is used when visual reference is not required

RWYCC is only used for landing performance and always take presidente.

RWYCC: 6 = best
0 = worst

*Pilots should always provide a PIREP when braking action is < good

140
Q

RWY Contamination (8.03)

A

Not Contaminated:
Dry <25%
Wet >25% up to 1/8” deep

Contaminated:
Other than Dry/Wet: Contamination covers more than 25%
Moderate rain on an ungrooved RWY
Heavy rain on any RWY constitutes a contaminated runway

141
Q

Heavy precipitation during loading (8.03)

A

The main cargo door and entry door should be closed

If main cargo door is not closed or in the canopy position,
Any ice/snow on a pallet, notify Ops

If suspected significant water has entered the ACFT, make an AML entry.

142
Q

What WX reports are restrictive (8.03)

A

Braking Action Report: Official reports must be considered for limitations and release purposes.
PIREPs, however, are advisory in nature.

PIREPs are advisory information

Taxi, T/O, and Landing Ops in NIL conditions are prohibited

Crosswind operational limits may apply with a reported braking action less than “good”, check ACFT CFM

Turbulence: Avoid Severe/Extreme

Windshear: Avoid Sever WS (>15 kts / VS change > 500 fpm / Pitch attitude change > 5°)

Severe Icing Conditions (ATC or PIREP): Avoid (no landing)

143
Q

Windshear (8.13)

A

A/S change of + 10 kts
Severe: +15 kts, 500fpm, pitch change of 5°

*Always avoid sever windshear (delay T/O or approach)

144
Q

Cold Temperature Altitude Correction (8.16)

A

Used when the temp is colder than standard because true alt will be lower than indicated alt.

Domestic:
Corrections are required at Cold Temperature Restricted Airports (CTRA)
***Look in the approach remark section, “Cold temp alt correction required at or below -XX °C/°F”

Int’l:
Coordinate with ATC to determine if CWA corrections are needed below -10°C

Add the derived number to your altitudes from IAF-MA
ATC must know about procedure and state new altitudes

145
Q

Different ACFT icing checks (8.23)

A
  1. Pre-departure ACFT check: (Crew during preflight [temp <10°c/50°f])
  2. Post application check: (de-ice crew)
  3. Flight control check: (flight crew per CFM)
  4. Pre-takeoff check: (Capt looks outside)
  5. PTOCC: (MX inspection of ACFT, T/O must begin within 5 min)(req for HVY Snow)
146
Q

WX Prohibited Takeoff (8.23)

A

FZRA or above
+FZDZ (heavy freezing drizzle)
+PL (heavy ice pellets)
GR (hail) (except when “less than 1/4” is reported in remarks in the METAR)
Light Ice Pellets Mixed (refer to chart)
Moderate Ice Pellets
Severe Icing reports

147
Q

Required Freezing Precipitation Checks and Fluid Use (8.23)

A

Type 2, 3 or 4 req: +SN, -PL, PL
PTOCC req: +SN, PL mixed
If engine inlets are not free of contaminants, request engine inlet deicing prior to engine start, this check must be done at gate

148
Q

De-Ice Comm (8.25)

A

Request Type of De-Icing:
1. De-Icing Only (one-step)
2. De-Icing/Anti-Icing (two-step)
3. Deviations (be very specific i.e. Only for frost off wings)

Don’t do anything until you hear “all equipment is clear of the ACFT” “clear for flight control check”
Hold over time starts at the beginning of final application

-Configure the aircraft for deice prior to entering the deice pad
-Configure the aircraft for takeoff after exiting the deice pad

* don’t taxi to close behind other aircraft as jet blast my blow your type II, III, IV fluid off*

149
Q

How to determine Holdover Times (8.33)

A

In order of accuracy

  1. ACARS SureHOT+
  2. ACARS SureHOT
  3. iPad FDX-HOT App
  4. FOM Holdover Tables

Holdover time is not valid if type I is applied with the assistance of forced air

If weather conditions change after holdover time is established, document the new weather conditions and the time of observation - PIC discretion to go over holdover time

In no case where freezing precipitation continues may the flight crew execute a
takeoff past the max holdover time without an external inspection, PTOCC, or
another de/anti-ice treatment. When in doubt, start over and call for de/anti-icing.

150
Q

Flight Crew Responsibilities: Non-Normal Situation (9.01)
