Conditional weather language includes…
Tempo
Prob.
Becmg
What defines main body weather?
Main weather body tarts with a FM and ends with another FM or at the end of a BECMG.
Before dispatch weather at the destination must be_____.
At or above the the minimums for the airport at the ETA. (Visibility only)
Explain exemption 3585 and when it is applied.
The exemption gives relief to dispatch when conditional weather exists.
The conditional weather can be below minimums but not less than 1/2 the minimum at you ETA.
Main body must be above min. And conditional weather must be at least 1/2 min. At the ETA.
The exemption can only be used on the first and second ALT.
The exemption can not be used
- at a second AlT or take of alt.
- on conditional language BECMG
- by high min. Captains
A second alternate must be listed and PIC must obtain most recent METAR and TAF for all 3 airports.
Where can exemption 3585 be used?
Ex. Destination, alternates?
Destination and First alternate only.
When can exemption 3585 not be used?
- on a second alternate
- conditional weather BECMG (it is main body)
- by high MIN. Captain.
What additional requirements are there if exemption 3585 is used?
- a second alternate must be listed
- PIC while enroute must obtain most recent, METAR and TAF for all 3 airports.
When may the IAP minima for a GPS/RNAV approach be used or dispatch?
At either the destination or alternate. Not at both
When exemption 3585 is used to qualify an alternate, what weather is required?
1/2 half the required ceiling AND visibility for the IAP for that airport.
What is defined as a ceiling?
OVC, BKN, VV
Explain the single approach method for planning an elder ate.
The single approach method requires on instrument approach and the airport. It can be straight in, circling, precision, or non precision.
Explain how to derive alternate mins using the dual approach method.
Using two separate approaches with different navaids, both straight in..
Add 200 ft to DA or MDA of the two approaches and add 1/2 to the higher min of the 2 approaches.
Runways must be suitable, meaning winds and gusts within operating limits.
Use the most restrictive.
When is an alternate required?
1-2-3 rule
An alternate is required under IFR unless with in 1 hour before to 1 hour after ETA the weather is forecast to be at or above 2,000 ft and at or above 3 miles vis.
Anything below requires an alternate.
When is a second alternate required?
Anytime exemption 3685 has been used.
When weather is forecast to be marginal at both the destination and first alternate.
Marginal is defined as equal to landing mins at destination (vis)and equal to filing mins at Alternate. (Vis and ceiling)
When is a take off alternate required?
If the weather at the departure airport is below the mins for appch to that airport (including CAT II) then a take off alternate is required.
The alternate must be within one hour at normal cruise speed in still air with one engine inoperative.
If an engine fails or mechanical failure endangers the safety of the flight what must the PIC do?
Proceed to the nearest suitable airport in point of time.
If given priority handling by ATC what must you do?
Submit a written report through the VP of Flight Ops within 48 hours.
If you declare an emergency what reports are required?
A verbal report to the MOD as soon as possible and a written report within 48 hours.
Who must be notified if an aborted take off is performed?
MX control. It can wait until the destination if it was not due to something mechanical.
Who must be notified if an aborted take off is performed?
MX control. It can wait until the destination if it was not due to something mechanical.
What must you report if you encounter severe turbulence?
Notify MX over Atlanta Radio or ACARS and write up the event in the aircraft MX log.
What events require an IOR?
Accidents Aircraft damage Incidents ATC - safety concerns Bird or wildlife strike Diverts Emergencies Engine shut down in flight Fires Severe or greater turbulence Incapacitated crew member Injury to passenger or employee Landing at other than nearest suitable Hard landing Unscheduled landing Laser Near mid air NTSB 830 items On duty crew member not fit Passenger disputes Denied boarding FAR violation Passenger illness or death PED interference Unruly/intoxicated passenger Possible impact to Skywest rep. Rejected take offs Return to field Runway excursions Security related items Unsafe conditions
