General Flashcards
Is satellite navigation permitted?
YES
What is the Lower Safety Alignment Limit on PAR APCH?
If the aircraft goes below this line,
Final Controller will give the aircraft the instruction of G/A.
Any amendment on Japan Air Traffic Control Standard Procedures recently?
AIM J ATC Phraseology Climb via or Descend via SID/STAR
Do you have any authority on the passenger on board? (Article 73-4)
The PIC from the moment all external doors are closed for TO until any such door is opened for disembarkation, authority over any person which impedes the safety of the aircraft or persons onboard can adopt measures to restrain to suppress these acts or disembark the offending passenger.
If a passenger smokes in the Lavatory, what do you have to do?
Issue a Prohibition Order Letter since its a case where it is unruly behavior after recognizing it as unruly behavior. Passengers are briefed prior to flight and also the lavatory is placarded with no smoking signs. OM 6-S-39
If a passenger hits a CA, what do you have to do?
In Principle issue a Warning Letter
This situation is classified as Category 1 Behaviour:
Punishable offence against current law (e.g. criminal law) represented by the following behaviours:
Violence against crew members or passengers, damage to property
A Warning Letter will be issued:
A measure for Category 1 and 3 to firmly tell (WARN) the passenger that their behaviour is unlawful
CA shall warn them verbally, or present a Warning Letter to the passenger after obtaining the Captains permission
Written in 12 languages and says that the unruly behaviour is a violation of the Civil Aeronautics Law
Report to ground staff/operations and request assistance: Flight, Details of behaviour and Pax info
On the ground
Request assistance from Ground Staff. On the ground as the PIC you do not have the authority to offload the passengers. However as the PIC has the full and final responsibility for the safety of all persons on board and the safe operation of the aircraft, I will be stating to the Ground staff that they ARE to be offloaded. Along with this, passengers bags will be required to be offloaded, new W&B will be required to be sent to the aircraft as well. Getting witness statements and if necessary contact the Company directly and request Police to attend to the aircraft.
In Flight
Take necessary actions to ensure the safety of flight and of the passengers and crew:
Restrain passengers if necessary
Have them seated separately until landing
Contact the company and advise them of the situation and to have Police and Station Manager to meet the aircraft upon arrival
Divert to nearest Suitable airport if the safety of the flight is in danger
Get Cabin Crew to take eyewitness statements
Call upon ANA Staff/DH Crew to assist CA’s if necessary
Inform ATC of the fact that passengers are restrained if required
What is the PIC Authority based on Law?
Article 73.
AUTHORITY to direct, supervise and delegate tasks to crew members in performing their duties.
Full and final RESPONSIBILITY for the overall safety of flight all persons and cargo on board.
What kind of item does “Obligation to Report (Article 76)” have? (4 classifications)
Stipulates that the PIC is obligated to report certain matters. These can be classified into four groups:
Article 76 (1) Accidents
Article 76 (2) Accidents to other aircraft
Article 76 (3) Any malfunction to a ground facility or any other incident on the ground
Article 76-2 Any dangerous situation occurring on the aircraft
OM S-8-3 lists the items that are required to be reported and should be used when required.
Regarding “Obligation to Report (Article 76)”, any reporting items based on voluntary
action by the company other than specified by Law?
OM S-8-3 lists the items that are required to be reported and should be used when required. ASR (2) items required by the company
What is the company operation policy for RTO decision?
RTO Policy–Go Mindedness
The idea of Go-mindedness is that except for the occurrence of a hinderance where there is a serious doubt that the airplane can safely fly, it is safer to continue the takeoff than to reject from a point near V1
To reduce unnecessary high speed RTO’s
Is the controllability of steering varied by the taxi speed?
- Nose Wheel Steering Tiller provides 75* turn in either direction
- Rudder pedals provide 6*
- Tiller overides rudder
At higher speeds you must use caution in regards to using the tiller as it becomes very sensitive. It is recommended that when on a straight taxiway that rudder pedals are used, as they provide enough ability for steering.
At lower speeds the tiller is the best method for turning, especially under slippery conditions where the speed must be kept to 3kts. Caution to be used to avoid nose wheel skidding or slipping.
How about the controllability of Rudder?
It is recommended that when on a straight taxiway that rudder pedals are used, as they provide enough ability for steering.
List up the three of the specific characteristics of Narita airport.
- Can experience very strong crosswinds and windshear conditions in April/May due to the undulating terrain on the south west side of the airport
- Noise abatement procedures are in effect for all runways.
- Curfew operations
What is the local procedure such as speed control and lowering the gear for?
No speed control on any approach procedure now.
Gear lowering requirement on 34L prior to 11.9DME
34R prior to 13.6DME, and recommended by NOTAM for 16L/R not between to 5.5-4DME
It says the landing flap should be set at or later than 4NM on Final. How do you think of
this procedure in relation to the Stabilized approach? If unable to comply, is the pilot’s
request necessary?
Jepp Ref Noise Abatement Procedures
The final authority to apply these procedures rests on each PIC, who may use other appropriate procedures if determined to be necessary in the interest of safety.
4nm=1400’ AMSL approx.
No need to request.
What is the difference between Simultaneous Parallel approach and Parallel approach?
Prescribed radar separation is provided between aircraft on the adjacent runway(RJAA 2nm-since grater than 4,300’ separation between rwy centerlines)
Simultaneous parallel ILS approaches no radar separation is provided by establishing a no transgression zone (NTZ) between 2 runways. With track monitoring provided.
What is the difference between Simultaneous Parallel departure and Parallel departure?
Prescribed radar separation is provided between aircraft on the adjacent runway(RJAA 2nm-since grater than 4,300’ separation between rwy centerlines)
Simultaneous parallel departures no radar separation is provided by establishing a no transgression zone (NTZ) between 2 runways. Track monitoring is provided.
When XXX VOR/DME is unserviceable, how do you fly RNAV1 SID?(e.g. the same situation is applicable on RJGG departure, CHITA-1 Dep when KCC U/S)
IRS as the nav system. As long as DME Gap doesn’t exceed 14nm. Or GPS as long as no RAIM hole exists.
Which route is flown from the destination to the alternate?
Longest route and then longest departure and arrival is added
What is the MEA of this route?
- Highest MEA is FL270 on M750
- ENVAR to MOMPA
- Minimum altitude for obstacle clearance to between NAVAIDS that assures acceptable navigation signal coverage

How does a WCHC passenger do EVAC if he/she doesn’t have an “Attendant”?
- CA will assist in evacuation or EE (Evacuation Escort) shall be secured if WCHC exceeds max number of 2
What is the characteristics of Lithium-ion Battery?
OM S-6-7
- Very small
