General Flashcards
1. Considering the following METAR. What would be a consideration for takeoff from this airport?KDFW 061453Z 15004KT 1SM OVC010 01/M02 A3017 RMK AO2
Weather forecast; deicing needed; engine heat performance. possible takeoff alternate
- What would be a consideration when taking off from KCOT given this weather?KCOT 061508Z 05005KT 1SM HZ OVC007 12/10 A3017 RMK AO2
Weather forecast; Possible Takeoff alternate; takeoff minimums; Low visibility taxi.
- If using KICT as an alternate airport what is the minimum visibility and ceiling that is required in order for it to be used?
C055 – Alternate Airport IFR Weather Minimums
One suitable navaid 400ft – 1SM
Two suitable navaid 200ft – ½ SM
- You are at home when the Chief Pilot calls and alerts you of a trip that departs in 2 hours. Exact details will follow but the destination is KMDW. What would you do to immediately prepare for the flight?
Text other crewmember to arrange for transportation to airport. Check departure and destination and enroute weather; notams; trip time for estimate of fuel; call fbo to get aircraft pulled up with gpu standing by. Pack and go.
- Can you depart without having a Trip Sheet?
No; To aid in the process; each flight will be initiated with the use of a printed Trip Sheet prepared by a person authorized to exercise operational control. An exception to the use of the printed Trip Sheet is allowed when no method is available to transmit the printed Trip Sheet to the crewmembers. In this situation; the required information will be communicated verbally and furnished in paper form at the first available location.
- Shortly after takeoff the lead passenger advises you that he left his briefcase in the car. Can you return to the departure airport and if so what must you do?
9.73 Flight Diversion
If a flight must divert or land short of a destination; the PIC will contact a person listed in Chapter 5; Section 5.5 and 5.6 of this manual as soon as possible giving complete details concerning the deviation; when the flight can resume; and what has been done for the passengers.
- What items are required to be on the aircraft? (Documents; equipment; etc.)
Airworthiness certificate
Registration certificate
Radio station license
Operating limitations and information (AFM)
Weight and Balance data
+
MEL
Garmin Pilot Manual
POH Vol 1 and 2
QRH
Pax briefings cards
Ground servicing guide
GCA aircraft will be equipped with the following:
(a) For night flights –
1. An anti-collision light system
2. Instrument lights to make all instruments; switches; and gauges easily readable; the direct rays of which are shielded from the pilots’ eyes and
3. A flashlight having at least two size “D” cells or equivalent.
(b) While operating under IFR; carrying passengers
1. A vertical speed indicator
2. A free-air temperature indicator
3. A heated pitot tube for each airspeed indicator
4. A power failure warning device or vacuum indicator to show the power available for gyroscopic instruments from each power source
5. An alternate source of static pressure for the altimeter and the airspeed and vertical speed indicators
- Is navigational plotting required on international routes that use published routes?
B039. Operations in North Atlantic High Level Airspace
a. The certificate holder is authorized to conduct operations in North Atlantic High Level
Airspace (NAT HLA) in accordance with the provisions of this operations specification and the
guidance contained in International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) Document 7030; Regional
Supplementary Procedures; for the NAT region.
b. Airspace Description. NAT HLA is that volume of airspace (as defined in ICAO Document
7030) between flight level (FL) 285 and FL 420 within the oceanic control areas of Bodo
Oceanic; Gander Oceanic; New York Oceanic East; Reykjavik; Santa Maria; and Shanwick;
excluding the Shannon and Brest Ocean Transition Areas.
c. Required Flightcrew and Operational Control Personnel Training. Prior to operations in NAT
HLA; flightcrew members and operational control personnel must have completed the certificate
holder’s approved training on the requirements specific to planning and operating flights in the
NAT HLA. This training is in addition to that provided by the certificate holder on the general
requirements for planning and operating flights in oceanic and remote airspace.
d. The certificate holder must also hold operations specification B036; Oceanic and Remote
Continental Navigation Using Multiple Long-Range Navigation Systems (M-LRNS); indicating
authorization for RNP 4 or RNP 10; if operating airplanes equipped with two or more long-range
navigation systems (LRNS). The provisions and limitations of operations specification B036 must
be observed during NAT HLA operations with those airplanes.
(1) In the event an airplane listed in operations specification B036 is reduced to single LRNS
capability due to equipment degradation; operations within NAT HLA; limited to the special routes
identified in paragraph e below; are authorized without the certificate holder being issued
operations specification B054.
e. The certificate holder must hold operations specification B054; Oceanic and Remote Airspace
Navigation Using a Single Long-Range Navigation System; indicating authorization for RNP 10 if
operating airplanes equipped with a single LRNS. Operations within NAT HLA with a single
LRNS are limited to the special routes (e.g.; Blue Spruce routes) identified in NAT Document
007; North Atlantic Operations and Airspace Manual. The provisions and limitations of operations
specification B054 must be observed during NAT HLA operations with those airplanes.
