Fueling Away from Gate
First Aid
E-JET Fueling with Passengers Onboard Away from the Gate Area(1)In the event that no jetway or airstairs are available, refueling operations may still be completed while the passengers remain onboard the aircraft under the following condi-tions:

Low Visibility Taxi
Low Visibility Taxi(1)Whenever surface visibility is <1200 RVR, flight crews must follow the taxi routes and procedures depicted on the appropriate Surface Movement Guidance and Control Sys-tem (SMGCS) charts for the airport (if available).(2)Advisory Circular 120-57A, Surface Movement Guidance and Control System (SMGCS), commonly known as SMGCS, requires a low visibility taxi plan for airports with takeoff or landing operations with visibility < 1200 RVR. These plans, which affect flight crew and vehicle operators, may incorporate additional lighting, markings and pro-cedures to control airport surface traffic. They will be addressed at two levels; opera-tions < 1200 to 600 RVR and < 600 RVR. SMGCS charts are found in the Jeppesen manual when applicable.
(3)In any case, during low visibility taxi (< 1200 RVR), adhere to the following procedures:
(a)All crewmembers (including jumpseat riders), will be heads up during aircraft movement.
(b)System checks and tests which are normally accomplished during taxi, should be accomplished while the aircraft is stationary. Maximize holding time on a ramp or taxiway to efficiently complete required task.
(c)All crewmembers must be familiar with the taxi route prior to aircraft movement. If in doubt, stop the aircraft and query ATC
When assigned a departure at an intersection, state “intersection departure” during the clearance read back.
TAKEOFF AND LANDINGS
A.No takeoff and landings will be made in weather conditions below those specified in the Mesa Airlines, Inc. Operations Specifications.
B.No takeoff or landings will be made from an unlighted runway between the end of the evening civil twilight and the beginning of morning civil twilight (night).
C.Airport Lighting Requirements Inoperative runway lights do not necessarily cause a runway to be closed by the airport authority. On the other hand, a runway may be unusable; however, the lighting may be fully operational (e.g. during plowing or during removal of a disabled airplane or vehicle). Some-times runway lights may be partially inoperative, in which case, the Go-No-Go decision rests with the flight crew and the dispatcher to determine that the operative runway lights are ade-quate for the conditions existing at the time.
REJECTED TAKEOFF
A rejected takeoff above 80 knots is recommended for items such as a configuration warning, any indication of fire, engine failure, thrust reverser deployment or the perception that the air-craft is unsafe or unable to fly.
(1) If the rejection was due to an EICAS message or anything aircraft related a mainte-nance write up is required.
(2) If a rejection was due to non aircraft related issues a write up is not required.
(3) However, an occurrence report is alway required for a rejected takeoff.NOTEA rejected takeoff above 80 knots is not recommended solely for illumination of a MASTER CAUTION light, blown tire or nose gear vibration.A return to gate is not always required but may be necessary for items such as maintenance or fuel.
Operations below 1600 RVR
For operations below RVR 1600 (500m)(a)A minimum of two operative RVR reporting systems are required.(b)All available RVR reports are controlling.NOTEExtremely long runways (e.g., DEN 16R) utilize four RVR sen-sors: TDZ, mid, rollout and far end. When a fourth far-end RVR value is reported, it is not controlling and is not to be used as one of the two required operative RVR systems.(c)Lower Than Standard Takeoff Minima: When takeoff minima are equal to or less than the applicable standard takeoff minima, the certificate holder is authorized to use the lower than standard takeoff minima described in the operations specifica-tions.
TDZ RVR 1200 (350m) (beginning of takeoff roll), mid-RVR 1200 (350m) (if installed) and rollout RVR 1000 (300m), if authorized, may be used provided RVR equipment and one of the following visual aids combinations are avail-able:a Daylight Hours: Serviceable RCLM or HIRL or operative CL lights.b Night Time Hours: HIRL or operative runway CL lights.
TDZ RVR 1000 (300m) (beginning of takeoff roll), mid-RVR 1000 (300m) (if installed) and rollout RVR 1000 (300m), if authorized, may be used provided RVR equipment and one of the following visual aids combinations are avail-able:a Operative runway CL lights, orb HIRL and serviceable RCLM.
TDZ RVR 600 (175m) (beginning of takeoff roll), mid-RVR 600 (175m) (if installed) and rollout RVR 600 (175m), or TDZ RVR 500 (150m) (beginning of takeoff roll), mid-RVR 500 (150m) (if installed) and rollout RVR 500 (150m), if authorized, may be used provided RVR equipment and all of the following visual aids are available.a HIRL.b Operative runway CL lights.
Uncontrolled Tower
As a minimum, the flight crew will monitor the CTAF for 10 minutes prior to arrival and will report position and intentions no less than 10 miles from the airport. the traffic pattern will be entered at a minimum altitude of 1500 feet AFE
