Q

What does 3585 allow us to do?

A

Allows us to depart to our destination below minimums provided the weather below
minimums is in the conditional language of the TAF

Q

What are the steps used to apply 3585?

A

Look at main body of TAF at time of arrival. Is it at or above our minimums?
○ If yes, move on to next step and a second alternate is required
○ If no, we cannot depart

● Look at conditional language at time of arrival. Is the weather that is below our minimums greater than or equal to 1/2 of what is required?
○ If yes, move on to next step and a second alternate is required
○ If no, we cannot depart/find another alternate

● Look at the second alternate weather at time of arrival
○ Must be at or above minimums

Q

What is the procedure for deriving filing minimums for alternates?

A

Single approach method
○ Add 400ft and 1mile to MDA or DA

● Double approach method
○ Add 200 ft and 1/2 mile to MDA or DA for both approaches being used
○ Pick the highest of the two ceilings and visibilities
○ Approaches must be to two different and suitable runways

■ Different means they have different identifiers
● CAT II N/A for deriving filing minimums
● GPS approaches authorized for single approach only

23
Q

Fly at least

A

1,000 feet above all obstacles within 4 miles. Or 2,000 in mountainous terrain within 4miles

24
Q

Visual approach under IFR. Who is responsible for wake turbulence separation?

A

Flight crew as long as preceding aircraft is in sight

25
Q

Under what RVR do airport SMGCS plans come into effect?

A

1200 RVR

26
Q

Airworthiness
For mechanical irregularities discovered prior to block out and after takeoff:

A

PIC contacts maintenance
● PIC enters discrepancy in AML
● Maintenance determines the action required
● If you need to MEL an item, make sure that you get a new release

27
Q

For mechanical irregularities after block out and prior to takeoff:

A

Use the flow chart in FOM 6-4

● Have to write it up and report it to maintenance after landing if fixed

28
Q

How do we determine the airworthiness of an aircraft?

A

A white sheet in the AFL contains an airworthiness release signature

● All mechanical irregularities in the AML are corrected or deferred

● All open MEL and CDL items on the DMI log are on the release

29
Q

If medical certificate or pilot certificate are lost, could we fly with a replacement from SkyWest?

A

No, originals are required

30
Q

What are the required documents and where are they kept? (International ops)

A

General, crewmember, and customs declarations

● Kept in a yellow pouch (customer service has it)

31
Q

Where can we look to see we have all of the required documents? (International ops)

A

Look in the FOM chapter 7

32
Q

Chapter 8 in the FOM for supplemental

When are passengers allowed in the flight deck?

A

After the flight terminates

33
Q

Supplemental charter ops

On a non­routine flight, can revenue passengers be carried?

A

No

34
Q

When do we need a special flight permit?
