Question 7

ALM - What is the maximum fuel variation permitted on the load sheet before a recalculation is required?

Answer 7

300kg

Question 8

ALM - What is the standard taxi fuel?

Answer 8

150kg

Question 9

CDP - What is the initial branch point of the CDP?

Answer 9

All aircraft are required to maintain runway track to 500ft Above Aerodrome Elevation. (May or may not be shown on CDP)

Question 10

CDP - When can a CDP be discontinued?

Answer 10

After passing the initial branch point, and the aircraft is at or above;
- Publish MSA or LSALT, or;
- A MVA and subject to vectors, or;
- An altitude suitable for visual return to an airport in DAY VMC

Question 11

CDP - What are the actions prior to and after the initial branch point on a CONTAINMENT CDP?

Answer 11

Before - Maintain engine out track
After - track as required, but remain clear of defined areas with altitude restrictions, and within 25nm.

Question 12

CDP - If an engine failure occurs after the final branch point of a MANDATORY CDP what needs to be complied with?

Answer 12

Track via the SID, enough vertical separation has already been gained.

Question 13

CDP- What speed is the CDP calculated on if their is no restriction of speed listed?

Answer 13

Green Dot

Question 14

CDP - Below acceleration altitude what is the speed tolerance, and angle of bank permitted?

Answer 14

V2 - V2+10kts & 15 degree AOB

Question 15

DM - If the aircraft is exposed to temperatures below 0 after being de-iced can the aircraft still depart?

Answer 15

Yes, but the aircraft cannot be in any active (falling) precipitation. Including Fog, Mist, Hail, Rain, Drizzle, Snow or Sleet. NJS prohibits departure in these conditions.

Question 16

DM - What is the difference in visibility between fog and mist?

Answer 16

Below 1,000m Vis = FOG
Above 1,000m Vis = Mist

Question 17

DM - What are the critical surfaces of the aircraft in reference to icing?

Answer 17

Wings, Horizontal Stab, Vertical Stab, Control Surfaces and Engine Inlets.

Question 18

DM - If ice is only noted on the upper surface of the fuselage and markings can be distinguished is the aircraft permitted to depart?

Answer 18

Yes, the fuselage is not considered a critical surface. But ice formation on a large surface could have considerable effect on drag and weight.

Question 19

DM - What is the holdover time for active frost with a composite wing?

Answer 19

35mins

Question 20

DM - Is spraying of de-ice fluid with the aero-bridge still attached and door open permitted?

Answer 20

No, the aircraft must have all doors closed prior to any spraying.
(Ref; DM 2.5.5)

Question 21

DM - When is the WAI system required to be operated?

Answer 21

On for Takeoff when OAT is 5c or below, and visible moisture is present in any form (FOG/MIST visibility less than 1500m)

Question 22

DM - When is the CAI required to be operated?

Answer 22

ON for taxi and Takeoff when OAT is 10c or below, and visible moisture in any form (FOG/MIST visibility less than 1500m)

Question 23

DM - When is ice shedding required?

Answer 23

OAT is 3c or below and visible moisture in any form is present. 60%N1
