Question 1

company pilots may not conduct a flight under IFR unless it carries enough fuel, considering weather reports or forecasts, to

Answer 1

complete the flight to the destination airport; and
fly from that airport to the alternate airport; and fly after that for 45 minutes at normal cruising speed

Question 2

when is an alternate not required

Answer 2

if there is a standard IAP for the destination airport, and for at least one hour before and after the estimated time of arrival, the appropriate weather reports or forecasts indicate that:
The ceiling will be at least 1500’ above the minimum circling altitude; or
if circling is not authorized for the airport, the ceiling will be at least 1500’ above the lowest published straight in min, or 2000’ above the airport elevation, whichever is higher; and
visibility for that airport is forecast to be at least three miles, or 2 miles more than the lowest applicable vis mins, whichever is greater, for the IAP to be used

Question 3

company pilots must not depart an airport IFR where weather conditions are at or above t/o mins but below IFR landing mins, unless there is

Answer 3

an alternate airport within 1 hours flying time of the departure airport

Question 4

if takeoff minima are published for the departure airport, company pilots must comply with the

Answer 4

published takeoff minima or Standard takeoff minima (1 SM or RVR 5000), whichever is higher

Question 5

when a takeoff minima is not published, the company pilots may use

Answer 5

the standard takeoff minima or any lower than standard authorized by ops specs

Question 6

when takeoff minima are equal to or less than the applicable standard takeoff minima, the company is authorized to use

Answer 6

a takeoff minimum equal to the the lowest authorized straight in CAT 1 IFR landing min, but the wind direction/velocity must allow for an approach back to that runway

Question 7

what page of the GOM is flight time limitations and rest requirements

Answer 7

81

Question 8

alternate airport IFR weather minimums
for airports with at least one straight in non precision approach or CAT 1 precision approach, or circling approach

Answer 8

add 400’ to MDA or DA and 1 SM

Question 9

alternate airport IFR weather minimums
for airports with at least 2 straight in approach procedure to different suitable runways

Answer 9

add 200’ to the higher DA or MDA of the two approaches used and 1/2 SM
