21: Requiring an Alternate (FOP 5.6.2.3)
When is an alternate required for weather?
When the worst weather at the destination, to include TEMPO conditions, +/- 1 HR is less than a 2000 ft ceiling or less than a visibility of 3 SM.
31: Weather Alternates (Site 1A Addendum)
Worst Alternate forecast condition:
ETA +/- 1hr to include TEMPOs (except those caused by TS, RN and SN)
- 1000’ ceilings or 500’ above the lowest compatible min, whichever is higher
AND
- 2SM visibility or 1SM above the lowest compatible min, whichever is higher
44: ATACNAV (Site 1A Addendum)
Is ALT NAV FAA certified?
- NO, don’t use for approaches or IFR navigation
40: ATACNAV (Site 1A Addendum)
What does ATACNAV do?
provides FMS2 with navigation data, when selected by the operator) by merging positional data from several sources when civilian L1 and L2 GPS bands are not available
64: Flares

60% or 18 flares a side
2: Hazardous Weather (FOP 7.4.1)

may encounter lightning strikes, electrostatic discharges and hail in apparently benign conditions
35: RADAR (Site 1A Addendum)
Don’t operate the radar when?
(other than STBY or TEST) don’t operate in the hangar or within the scan arc and 2’ of personnel
52: O2 and Press (IFG: FOP 3.13)
Unpresurrized: without supplemental O2
- 10,000’ to 12,500’: shall not exceed 1 hr
- 12,500’ to 14,000’: shall not exceed 30 mins
- 14,000’: limit
50: O2 and Press (IFG: FOP 3.13)
Normally aircrew will use O2 any time the cabin goes above ____ ft.
10000’
57: Flight/Duty Limitations (IFG: FOP 2.2)
Normal Crew Day is:
12 hrs
33: Cross wind limits vs RCR (Site 1A Addendum)
What is the maximum crosswind for:
Dry runway:
Wet runway:
Greater than 1/8” water:
Dry runway: RCR 23-26 = 25kts
Wet runway: RCR 10 = 20kts
- use 10 vs 12 because 1A doesn’t have a grooved runway and prone to create a “slippery when wet” environment
Greater than 1/8” water: RCR 8 = 15kts
Note: obtain wx cond from tower at 1A
9: Hazardous Weather (FOP 7.4.1)
____ and ____ may be accomplished when thunderstorms are within ____NM providing they are not producing any hazardous conditions at the airfield. (hail, lightning, gust fronts, wind shear or microbursts)

10NM
32: Weather Alternates (Site 1A Addendum)
Can you use an airport without a comparable approach for a weather alternate?”
Yes, provided the forecast wx +/- 1hr permits a VFR descent from MEA to a VFR approach and landing
39: After Takeoff (Site 1A Addendum)
When can the monitors be unstowed after take off?
