Q

How much additional runway length is required for IMC Approaches and what are the Wx minimums for this situation?

A
  1. 15%2. Anytime the Wx is below 3/4 mile or RVR 4000’3. Aerodata low visibility data ensures compliance

What are the IFR Takeoff Minimums?

A
  1. Standard take off mins are 1 SM2. RVR, when available with be used.3. Lower than standard mins are authorized when published in the Jepps4. Lower than standard Mins require Runway Centerline Lights and Markings and/or Adequate Visual Reference5. When using Lower than Standard RVR mins, TDZ RVR is controlling6. In no case will LOWER than published mins be sued

Q

What are the “Derived Alternate Weather Minimums”?

A
  1. One NAVAID rule: Add 400’ + 1 to the lowest CAT I Mins2. Two NAVAID Rule: Add 200’ + 1/2 to the lowest Cat I Minimums of the two approaches- Must be straight in approach- Must use different runways- Must be suitable runways- Must have different NAVAID identifiers
24
Q

How do De-Ice / Anti-Ice fluids work?

A

Type I heated - lowers freezing point and the heat melts the snow and ice.Type II (same as above) but provides coating to prevent accumulationType IV - Same as Type II with better “Hold-Over” times

25
Q

What is a “Pre-Takeoff” Checklist?When is it done?Can it be done from the Flight Deck?

A

Pre-takeoff check is an inspection of the wings and representative surfaces of frost, ice or snow. It should be done within the “Hold Over” time AND should be done from the cabin where adequate visual reference to the services is allowed.But it can be done from the cockpit if it can be safely determined.

26
Q

When can you leave the DA?

A
  • When aircraft is in a position to make a normal approach to landing AND- When at least 1 of the following is visible: – Runway, runway markings, runway lights – Approach Lights – Threshold, Threshold Lights, Threshold Markings – Touchdown Zone, Touchdown Zone Lights – VASI / PAPI – REIL

30
Q

What should you do if the Wx radar fails enroute?

A

If IMC in area of thunderstorm cells:- Approaching cell, divert to Alternate or return to departure airport- If already in cell, request ATC assistance in the detection / avoidance. Request shortest route through to Destination, Alternate or Return as appropriate. Change in Destination should be coordinated with SOC- Past cell - continue to Destination acceptable

31
Q

What are the lowest Wx for the Second Alternate?

A

Not less than the lowest Alternate Minimums for the ceiling and visibility

32
Q

What Takeoff limitations exist for “High Mins Captains”?

A

Lower than Standard minimums can be used. But the requirement for Takeoff Alternate is predicated on the CAT minimums +100’ and 1/2 mile

33
Q

What is a “Stabilized Approach”?

A

Characterized by a Constant Angle, Constant Rate of descent approach profile ending near the touchdown point

34
Q

When is an approach considered to be “Stabilized”?

A
  1. Airplane is on the correct track2. Airplane is in the proper landing configuration3. After glide path intercept of FAF, the PF requires no more than NORMAL corrections to maintain correct track and profile to land WITHIN the Touchdown Zone4. Airplane is at proper approach speed with engines spooled up5. Rate of descent no greater than 1000’/min6. Power setting is appropriate for the landing configuration
35
Q

Flight crews will not descend BELOW the published MSA unless?
