What do we do for the route and weather planning?
Route Check
- Departure and destinantion points
- Airways on route
- Do planning based on that
- MAA, Grid MORA
- Check route with Eurocontrol Systems
Airport Check
- airports that use our plan:
- Departure
- Weather
- TAFORs
- Notams
- Opening Hours airport
- Destination
- Weather
- TAFORs
- Notams
- Opening Hours airport
- Alternate
- If more than 2 hours, check Adequate Airports
If any doubts, check the AIP to be sure info is correct
What’s the Meteorological Minima for the PA34/200T/PA34-220T?
Vis: 5000m
Cloud tops: BKN or OVC at 1500 ft
Corsswing: 17kts
You must have a copy for the departure, destination, and alternate of:
- TAFORs
- METARs
What do we check on the weather check?
Once we have the documents mentioned above, we will do a briefing about the meteorological conditions enroute:
- Download&print latest weather enroute report from AMA (Aemet) or T4 Significant Charts and see the Significant weather on our route:
- CB
- Altitude of Freezing Point (Freezing level)
- Tb or icng areas
- mnt waves
- Thunderstorms
- CAT
- Check SIGMETs
What’s the Enroute details and Minima briefing?
Enroute airways
- Odd or Even
- Min altitude on airway
- Max altitude in the airway
- If crossing mountains:
- how we will proceed in case of failure in most critical point
- how to get out of critical terrain and proceed to suitable aerodrome
What are the Performance and Planning Documents?
Fuel Planning
- Trip Fuel
- Diversion Time (alt airport)
- Contingency 5% or 5 mins whichever is higher
- 45 mins of Holding Time
- 20 minutes of Approaches
Mass and Balance
Performance: check performance data of origin, destination and alternates
-Ground performance
- TODA
- TORA
- TORR
- ASDA
- LDA
- LDR
- Airborne performance
- Climb Gradient
What’s a clearway?
area beyond runway
not less than 152m (500ft) wide
centrally located about the extended centre line of the rwy, and under the control of the airport authorities
What’s a stopway?
Area beyond t/o rwy
no less wide than rwy
able to support acft during a RTO without causing structural damage to the acft
designated by airpot authorities to be used in decelerating the aeroplane during a rejected take-off
What’s TORA?
Take-Off Runway Available
Distance from point on sfc of aerdm at which acft can commence t/o run to the nrst pt in direction of t/o at which the sfc of aerdm is incapable of bearing the weight of the aeroplane under normal operating conditions.
At most aerdromes, t/o run available is the length of the rwy from thrshld to thrshld
What’s the TODA?
Take-Off Distance Available
T/o run available plus any clearway
(TORA + clearway
If no clearway, then TODA = TORA
What’s the ASDA?
Length of T/O run available plus any stopway
TORA + stopway
If no stopway: ASDA = TORA
What’s the TODR?
Take-Off Distance Required
Greates of the following three distances:
- All engines operating: horizontal distance travelled, with all engines operating, to reach a screen height of 35ft multiplied by 1.15
- One engine inoperative (dry runway). Horizontal distance from BRP (break release point) to the point at which the acft attains 35 ft, assuming the critical power unit fails at VEF
One engine inoperative (wet rwy). Horizontal distance from BRP to the point at which the acft attains 15ft, assuming the critical power unit fails at VEF on a wet or contaminated hard surface, achieved in a manner consistent with the achievement of V2 by 35ft
What’s the TORR?
Take-Off Runway Required
Total gross distance from the start of t-o run to the pt at which VLOF is reached, plus one half of the gross distance from VLOF to the pt at which the acft reaches 35ft, all factored by 1.15 to obtain the net TORR
What’s the LDA?
Landing Distance Available:
Dist from pt on sfc of aerdrome above which acft can commence its landing.
What’s the LDR?
Landing Distance Required
Ldg dist rqd on a dry rwy for dest and altrnt aerodromes, from 50 ft to a full stop, it musn’t exceed:
- 60% of LDA for turbojet acft
- 70% of LDA for turboprop acf
