Question 10

Janela de Conveniência (“Weather Suitability Period”)

Answer 10

mais recentes previsões meteorológicas disponíveis para um intervalo de tempo começando uma hora antes da hora estimada inicialmente para o pouso e terminando uma hora após o horário confirmado para pouso nesse aeródromo, sejam iguais ou excedam os mínimos meteorológicos para os aeródromos de alternativa da rota

Question 11

Aeródromo Conveniente - ETOPS

Answer 11

É um aeródromo adequado cujas informações e/ou previsões meteorológicas disponíveis no momento do planejamento do voo indiquem que, dentro da “Janela de Conveniência” (definição B.3), o teto e a visibilidade satisfazem os “Mínimos Meteorológicos ETOPS” (definição B.4) e as condições gerais conhecidas, incluindo as divulgadas em NOTAM, indiquem que uma aproximação e pouso podem ser concluídos com segurança, considerando um motor e/ou sistemas inoperantes, respeitados os limitantes da aeronave em questão.

MP-ETOPS -34

Question 12

STRATEGIC LATERAL OFFSET PROCEDURES (SLOP)

Answer 12

NOTE 1: — SLOP are approved procedures that allow aircraft to fly on a parallel track to the right of the centerline relative to the direction of flight to mit-igate the lateral overlap probability due to increased navigation accuracy and wake turbulence encoun-ters. Unless specified in the separation standard, an aircraft’s use of these procedures does not affect the application of prescribed separation standards.

Question 13

Mach Technique

Answer 13

The term “Mach number technique” is used to describe the technique of clearing turbo-jet air-craft operating along the same route to maintain specified Mach numbers in order to maintain ade-quate longitudinal separation between successive aircraft at, or climbing or descending to, the same level.
