Kv Flashcards
Prior to beginning the preflight inspection the pilot conducts a Safety and Power Up checklist. Bart 1 is on and Batt 2 is selected to Auto:
What must not occur when more than displays 2 and 3 is selected to AUTO?
(SOPM Chap 4 Section 1 (Safety and Power Up)
The airplane must not be dispatched. p 4-01.7
After a successful fire test, the pilot establishes an AC power source.
If AC power is lost what is the procedure for reestablishing AC power?
SOPM ch 4-1
“When the source of AC power is lost, power down the airplane utilizing the Leaving the Airplane checklist then perform power up utilizing the safety and power up checklist.”
Note, p4-01.9
The APU has been started and the pilot begins the external walk around Its cold and the airplane has the potential for ice, frost or snow.
Prior to beginning the external inspection what must be ON to have a valid check on the Brake Wear Indicators?
The Emergency/Parking brake
SOPM ch4-01.14
Inspection of the ADSPs show Ice and snow contamination, what is the procedure?
ADSP Heater switch ON
Flight Control PBIT (EPBIT and HPBIT) Accomplish
SOPM p4-01.11
Spurious AFCS and ADS messages may be an indication of what in regard to the ADSPs?
The smart probes are contaminated with ice or snow, run the heater procedure and shutdown the airplane after min of 3 mins of heating. Wait one minute, power back up normally. If spurious messages still appear call maintenance.
SOPM ch4-01.13
The PREFLIGHT section of the SOPM uses the phrase “CLEAR OF ICE” repeatedly for each section of the airplane, What is SkyWest’s philosophy regarding ICE and contamination?
GDPM Ch 2.3 “The Ground Deicing Program GDP uses the clean aircraft concept, which means an aircraft must not takeoff when frost, ice, or snow is adhering to the wings, control surfaces, engine inlets, and other critical surfaces of the aircraft.”
What is a Cold Weather Preflight Inspection?
1) Inspect the critical surfaces for accumulation of frozen contaminants as follows:
-Visually inspect the critical surfaces and components for frozen contaminants from the gest vantage point possible (e.g. inside the cabin over the wing area, top of stairs, jetbridge). It must be assumed the surface is contaminated if any surface features cannot be visually distinguished that would otherwise be apparent under non-icing conditions.
2) When the aircraft’s critical surfaces are not free of frozen contaminents, or it cannot be determined they are free from contaminants, the PIC notifys station that ground deicing is required.
3) When the aircraft’s critical surfaces are free of frozen contaminents after completeing the tactile and /or visual check, no further deice/anit-ice procedures are required.
GDPM ch 4.8 “Cold Weather Preflight Insection Procedure”
When does a Cold Wx Preflight need to be performed?
Cold Wx preflight must be conducted when:
-OAT is 5C or less, or
-Wing Fuel temp is 0* or less
-Atmoshpheric conditions conducive to icing exist, or
-the aircraft has remained overnight and may have frozen contaminents due to exposure to frost or precip, which could involve the entire airframe, or
- on any through flight where residual ice from the inbound flight may have accumulated on airframe surfaces or components, or
-Cold soak ice is suspected in the fuel tank area.
SOPM CH 4-01.25 “COLD WX OPERATIONS”
If it’s 5*C or colder, the preflight inspection must take place within what timeframe?
SOPM CH 4-01.25 “COLD WX OPERATIONS”
NOTE: anytime the temp is 5*C or less, preflight inspection must take place within 30 mins of pushback

CONTEXT: Flight Planning, Takeoff Performance
What is the MINTO for your flight, and what is included in MINTO?
Minimum Fuel for Takeoff
Includes:
-Enroute Burn
-Go-around/alternate (most distant),
-Holding
-Reserve
(BAR-H)
Dispatch Release Explanation Guide
When an Alternate is listed on the Release, does the Alternate fuel value include go-around fuel?
It does.
Dispatch Release Explanation Guide #28
Engine Failure Proceedures (EFP) are denoted by Abbreviations such as DT, LT,RT and Special. What is the difference between a Standard and Special EFP?
Standard: Climb to 1,000 ft then turn (IMC to navaid or dipicted Heading, VMC return to land visually or follow IMC procedure)
Special: provided when Standard procedure cannot be used due to obstacle requirements (simple special will turn before 1,000 feet AFE, Complex will list detailed instructions that a Simple will not cover to keep you in the protected obstacle area. )
Performance Handbook Section 2.0 Takeoff
If we follow a Special EFP and radar vectors are not available, at what altitude can the crew proceed on course?
Comply with the special procedure until :
IMC: 3,000 AFE at which time you can proceed on course.
VMC: 1,000 AFE
Performance Handbook Section 2.0 Takeoff
Take off in IMC (Ceiling<1000’ and <3SM) and ATC provides a radar vector, no turns shall be commenced below what ALT?
NO turns shall be commenced below 1,000’ AFE when takeoff wx is IMC unless:
1) a Special Departure Proceedure prescribes otherwise, or
2) the assigned instrument departure procedure specifically requires a turn before reaching 1,000’ AFE
Performance Handbook Section 2.0 Takeoff
Can a pilot Turn the airplane with the above conditions if an instrument or special departure procedure requires it?
Yes (under those specific examples.)
The RWY is reported as wet. what does this mean?
A runway is considered wet when more than 25% of the runway surface area within the length and width being used, is covered by any visible dampness or water 1/8th in (3mm) or less in depth.
PERFORMANCE HANDBOOK TAKEOFF/RUNWAY CONDITIONS
The RWY is report has been updated to “CONTAMINATED,” what does this mean?
Contaminated Runway-
A runway is considered contaminated when more than 25% of the runway surface area (whether in isolated areas or not), within the reported length and the width being used, is covered by more than 1/8th (3mm) of standing water or its equivalent in slush, wet snow, dry snow or any depth of ice or compacted snow.
PERFORMANCE HANDBOOK, TAKEOFF, RUNWAY CONDITIONS
What does TALPA stand for?
Takeoff And Landing Perfomance Assessment…
…in the U.S. use an objective measurement of contamination type and depth, with consideration given to temperature and aircraft performance to determine expected braking capability for a given runway.
Specific Definitions:
Dry-
Wet
Slippery When Wet
Contaminated
FOM ch7 (Runway assessment)
TALPA uses RCAM (RCCs) to assess runway conditions, describe the difference in runway condition between and RCC of 6 and RCC of 1
RCC of 6 is dry, No effect on deceleration or directional control, no reported braking action. (Its the best of all conditions.)
RCC of 1 is ICE, Braking deceleration is significantly reduced for the wheel braking effort applied, or directional control is significantly reduced. Reported braking action is Poor.

MEL USER GUIDE (Looking at a given MEL…)
What does the bold (T) symbol communicate?
A bold (T) (Tracking) is a flag to the flight crew that any of the following conditions exist:
-An MEL requires a tracking (or time) restriction.
- A Repair interval Category A of one day.
-Procedures that must be performed, tested, or checked before each flight, prior to the first flight of the day, once each flight day, or at a certain number of hours, landings, cycles etc.
MEL User guide
What impact does the above MEL have on flight planning?
See MEL 32-47-1a
Yes, Landing Gear needs to remain extended 7 minutes after takeoff, and 660 lbs of fuel must be added.
How does the pilot know that this added fuel burn from the MEL has been applied to the flight release.
It would be specified in the Remarks section of the Release.
Perf Handbook states that if the MEL is listed in remarks, the entire Takeoff report is calculated with it applied.

Context: Originating, Before Start, Eng Start
Why is the HYD fluid temperature checked during the originating flow?
To verify whether or not a Hydraulic Warm-Up procedure is required. (If temps are below -18 degrees)
