What is the PF’s primary monitoring responsibility?
- The PF’s primary responsibility is to monitor non-flightpath actions (e.g., Radio communications, Aircraft systems, other crewmembers and other operational activities)
- Control and monitor the aircraft flight path ( including monitoring the flight guidance automated systems, if engaged), and to come up with a plan on how to manage the intended flight path of the aircraft
- as there is a PM, the PF is responsible only for control of the aircraft flight path-monitoring is the responsibility of the p.m.

• The chief pilot‘s office
For domestic operations, a flight may not depart more than 15 minutes before it’s released time nor more than how much time after it’s released time without an ARTR?
- six hours
- One hour
- 90 minutes
• One hour
In the case of minor injuries, all required crewmembers must be able bodied at departure from any station. Which of the following is correct?
- if the captain suspects that a crewmember may have a minor injury, but there is no visible injury, the affected crewmember may operate
- an injured person is often unaware of the seriousness of their own condition, especially in cases of mild shock. If in doubt, the captain shall request the individual to demonstrate his ability to man their position
- as long as the crew member with minor injury appears to fit to fly, that is sufficient
• an injured person is often unaware of the seriousness of their own condition, especially in cases of mild shock. If in doubt, the captain shall request the individual to demonstrate his ability to man their position
ADS-C position reports are automatically transmitted when the FMC waypoints sequence. If, however, the aircraft is more than 21NM from the active FMC route (more than 7NM off course on MD-11) The FMC will not sequence to the next way point. The flight crew must do which of the following?
- manually sequence the FMC flight plan to the next waypointto trigger an ADS position report to ATC
- make a voice position report to ATC
- send a CPDLC message to ATC with position information
• manually sequence the FMC flight plan to the next waypointto trigger an ADS position report to ATC
During the preflight a security inspection, what areas must be given special attention?
- The bunks in the MD-11 crew rest module requires special attention as part of the preflight security inspection
- no area of the aircraft requires special attention
- special attention must be given to areas under seat cushions and two lifevest pouches
