What section of the GOM covers General Flight Operations?
Section 2
Where is the EMI/EFI Flight Test Profile found?
D.O.M. must be contacted for the form
When shall the W&B information be entered in CompleteFlight?
GOM 2.10
- Before takeoff as appropriate to ME or SE aircraft
- To facilitate company situational awareness, the pilot may record time, and weight-and-balance data either immediately in CompleteFlight, or on another source (for example, the Trip Sheet, as described in Section 4.3 Airplane Trip Sheet and Load Manifest), and then transfer it to CompleteFlight at a safer time, but no later than the completion of the last leg of the current flight.
What documents must be on board an Air Methods Pilatus PC-12?
GOM 2.14: All Air Methods aircraft shall carry the following standardized documents on board.
It is the PIC’s responsibility to verify that current versions of these documents are on board the aircraft.
- GOM & OP SPECS
- Aircraft Maintenance Log
- ARROW docs
- Airworthiness Certificate
- Aircraft Registration
- Radio (only if outside USA ops)
- Weight-and-balance information
- POH / AFM
- Aircraft Status Report retrievable from CompleteFlight
- Charts for ops / IFR operations
- Checklist (meeting the requirements of 135.83)
- Deferred Discrepancy Report
- Emergency Response Plan
- Electronic Flight Bag Manual
- Logbook or iPad Removed sign
- MEL – Nonessential Equipment and Furnishings (if applicable)
- Operations Hazardous Materials Manual
- Pax briefing cards
- Pilots Maintenance and Servicing Procedures
If a pilot declares an emergency, who shall he forward the report to?
GOM 2.18
In the event the certificate holder or PIC who, under emergency authority, deviates from any Code of Federal Regulation shall, upon the safe completion of the flight, write a complete report of the aircraft operation involved. They will include a description of the deviation taken and the reasons for it. He will immediately send it to the director of operations and/or chief pilot, who will forward it to the FAA no later than 10 business days after the day of the deviation.
If a flight is going to take a pilot beyond 14 hours of duty time, how far can the pilot go?
GOM 2.22
No flight shall ever be planned beyond the 14 hour duty day. If the original planned completion time of the duty assignment is unable to be met due to reasons beyond the control of the certificate holder, the pilot may continue IAW the guidance in the GOM.If this requires an operation beyond 14.5 hours of duty time, then prior approval must be received from a RAD/ or designee, the Director of Aviation Compliance, the Chief Pilot, or the Director of Ops
Where are documents for International Operations found?
Flightdeck, Operations, 135 Aviation Operations, Operations Documents, International Flight Documents folder.
What are the requirements for operating in close proximity to other aircraft in flight?
GOM 2.33
Air Methods pilots will not operate aircraft in formation flight; however, certain instances, such as photo flights or memorial services, may warrant operating near other aircraft. In those cases, only the pilot and necessary flight crewmembers will be on board the aircraft.
In all cases, aircraft will not be operated in such a manner as to create a collision hazard. All parties involved in operations near other aircraft will only conduct the operation after an extensive briefing. Pilots will remain in communication with each other and announce intentions over a predetermined discrete radio frequency.
Under no circumstances will aircraft be operated closer than five rotor discs or wing-spans. The chief pilot, director of operations, or regional aviation director must grant approval before any such operations
Are there times trained medical personnel are responsible to ensure passengers receive a safety briefing?
GOM 2.36.1
No - The PIC is always responsible to conduct the briefing or ensure trained medical personnel have conducted the briefing.
To prevent runway incursions, what must every pilot do prior to hover/taxi operations?
GOM 2.44
Using the following procedures, though not all-inclusive, will help prevent runway incursions:
- A/P diagrams: Have the airport diagram out for reference during all taxi operations.
- NOTAMS - Review all NOTAMs for runway/taxiway closures and construction areas.
- Progressives - Request progressive taxi instructions when unsure of the taxi route.
- Lights - Turn on aircraft lights while taxiing.
- Copy - It is advisable to write down taxi instructions so as to not forget instructions and to act as a guide for reading back clearances.
- Read Back - read back all taxi and hold short of runway instructions in the order issued by ATC. Reading back instructions in the order issued by ATC will help prevent “hear back/read back” errors. Standard phraseology will be used to facilitate clear, concise communication between the flight crew and ATC.
- Monitor - While taxiing, monitor instructions to other aircraft and question ATC as soon as possible if a conflict between your and another becomes apparent.
- Check - Before taking a runway for takeoff, scan the full length of the runway and approach paths for other conflicting aircraft.
- Holding on an active - Do not hold in position for an extended period of time on an active runway without direct communication with ATC. This is especially important at night.
- Clear the active runway on rollout as quickly as possible, and then wait for taxi instructions before further movement.
- Landing - be aware of other aircraft being cleared to land on the same runway you have been cleared to land on.
- Uncontrolled - Follow standard air traffic procedures. Use AF/Ds or other similar commercial products to determine if other than standard traffic pattern procedures are dictated for the particular airport where operations are planned. - Monitor CTAF or UNICOM as recommended in the AIM. - State the name of the airport at the beginning and end of each radio transmission.
