Q

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 Chap 2 Clean Aircraft Concept)

A

The Clean Aircraft Concept is where we must
not takeoff when frost, ice, or snow is
adhering to the wings, control surfaces,
engine inlets, and other critical surfaces.

Q

What is a Cold Weather Preflight Inspection?
(GDPM Chap 2 cold wx preflight inspection)
(SOPM Chap 4 Section 1)

A

The cold weather preflight inspection is
conducted to inspect the critical surfaces for
frozen contaminants. We do this by using the
best vantage point (inside cabin over wings,
jet bridge) and we determine contamination if
we cannot distinguish normally detected
surface features. The leading edge and upper
wing and tail surfaces must be free of ice and
snow.
If we determine there is contamination of
critical portions of the aircraft, we will require
deicing.

Q

What is the MINTO for your flight, what is
included in MINTO? (Dispatch RLS
Explanation Guide)

A

MINTO is our minimum takeoff fuel, located
in the highlighted strip with our tail number
and airports for the flight. MINTO includes
enroute fuel burn, go-around/most distance
alternate, reserve fuel, and holding.
BARH
Burn enroute
Alternate
Reserve
Holding

19
Q

When an alternate is listed on the Release,
does the Alternate fuel value include go-
around fuel? (Dispatch RLS Explanation
Guide)

A

With an alternate listed, the value is the
alternate fuel burn plus the GA fuel amount,
which is 700 lbs for the E175.

20
Q

Engine Failure Procedures (EFP) are denoted
by Abbreviations such as DT, LT, RT, and
Special. What is the difference between a
Standard and Special EFP? (Performance
Handbook Section 2)

A

A Standard EFP departure is where we will
climb straight ahead from the runway until
1,000’ AFE, then we will continue to the
heading listed or direct to the NAVAID and
enter a standard entry hold. In VMC at 1,000’
AFE we can also return to land visually.
A Simple Special EFP departure is provided
when we need to make a turn prior to 1,000’
AFE to a heading/NAVAID. Review the table in
the Performance Handbook for explanation of
each part.
A Complex Special EFP departure is when the
Simple Special departure is not sufficient
enough to avoid terrain. They are found
under Company Charts in the FD Pro app.

21
Q

If following a Special EFP and Radar Vectors
are not available, at what altitude can the
crew proceed on course? (Performance
Handbook Section 2)

A

We have to comply until 3,000’ AFE if we do
not have radar vectors.

22
Q

Takeoff in IMC (ceiling <1000’ and <3SM) and
ATC provides a radar vector, no turns shall be
commenced below what altitude?
(Performance Handbook Section 2)

A

We cannot make a turn in IMC under vectors
until 1,000’ AFE.

23
Q

Can a Pilot Turn the airplane with the above
conditions if an Instrument or Special
Departure Procedure requires it?
(Performance Handbook Section 2)

A

Yes, a pilot can make a turn prior to 1,000’ if
the instrument procedure or Special
departure procedure requires it.

24
Q

The RWY is reported as WET, what does this
mean? (Performance Handbook Section 2)

A

A WET runway is defined as a runway with
>25% of the runway surface area, within the
length and width being used, covered by any
visible dampness 1/8 inch or less.

25
Q

The RWY report has been updated to
“contaminated”, what does this mean?
(Performance Handbook Section 2)

A

A Contaminated runway is defined as a
runway with >25% of the runway surface
area, within the length and width being used,
covered by >1/8 inch of standing water or
equivalent in slush, wet snow, dry snow, or
any depth of ice/compacted snow.

26
Q

What does TALPA stand for? (FOM Chapter 7)

A

TALPA stands for Takeoff And Landing
Performance Assessment

27
Q

TALPA uses RCAM (RCCs) to access runway
conditions, describe the difference in runway
condition between an RCC of 6 and RCC of 1.
(FOM Chapter 7)

A

An RCC of 6 means the runway is dry and the
aircraft is achieving maximum control and
braking performance.
An RCC of 1 means the runway is covered in
ice and braking action is poor with
significantly reduced deceleration OR
directional control.

28
Q

Where can the RCAM/Braking action table be
found? (EFB WX Tile) (FOM Chap 7)

A

It can be found in the Flight Ops Manual,
Chapter 7, Runway Assessments.

29
Q

What is the maximum crosswind component
for a takeoff with a WET runway?

A

Takeoff with a WET runway is 31 kt limitation.
Review different values as well

30
Q

What does the bold (T) symbol
communicate? (MEL User Guide)

A

A bold (D) is a flag to Dispatch, Maintenance,
and the flight crew that restrictions apply to
the performance and operation.
A bold (L) is saying there is a Log Entry
required for the MEL in the eAML.
A bold (T) is saying the MEL procedure must
be Tracked through performing the procedure
as often as required in the MEL, not requiring
a logbook entry unless a bold (L) is
accompanied as well.

31
Q

What impact does the above MEL have on
flight planning?

A

Read the Remarks section and it says exactly
what we need to do to comply.

32
Q

How does the pilot know that this added fuel
burn from the MEL has been added to the
Flight Release? (Performance Handbook)

A

For any MEL/CDL penalties, the penalty is
entered into the system and noted in the
remarks section of the release.
If it is a Takeoff remark, that is located right
under the Takeoff Data section of the release.
If it is an Enroute remark, that is located
directly above the MEL/CDL section on the
releas

33
Q

Why is the HYD fluid temperature checked
during the originating flow? (SOPM Chap 4
Section 1)

A

The hydraulic fluid temperature needs to be
at least -18C to start the engines.

34
Q

During an ECS ON takeoff the APU will be ON
or OFF? (SOPM Chap 4 Section 4)

A

ECS ON – APU OFF
ECS OFF – APU ON

35
Q

During an ECS ON takeoff the APU will be ON
or OFF? (SOPM Chap 4 Section 4)

A

ECS ON – APU OFF
ECS OFF – APU ON

36
Q

If ACARS takeoff performance dictates ECS
ON takeoff and the crew fails to shut down
the APU, the EICAS will generate an ENG REF
ECS DISAGREE message, if this happens, what
will you do?

A

We will run the TEAM model, have the pilots
reference the QRH, re-enter takeoff data or
reconfigure the aircraft properly for takeoff.

37
Q

With an OAT of 4 degrees C and light rain,
how will the Takeoff Data Pages be
configured for Anti-Ice? (SOPM Chap 2
Section 4)

A

At 4 degrees C, the Takeoff Dataset must be
on ALL (both ENG and WING anti-ice).

38
Q

While programming the FMS a BATT 1
OVERTEMP message populates on the EICAS
with an associated triple chime and Master
Warning light, what do you do? (QRC
Memory Item)

A

QRC Memory Item:
Associated Battery – OFF

39
Q

What are the starter crank limits on the
ground? (SOPM Chap 2 Section 4)

A

Start Attempts 1 and 2:
90 seconds on, 10 seconds off between.
Start Attempts 3-5:
90 seconds on, 5 minutes off between.

40
Q

During engine start that is no light off with
fuel flowing to the engine, what do you do?
(QRC Memory Item) (SOPM Chap 4 Section 3)

A

QRC Memory Item:
Affected Engine: Start/Stop Selector – STOP
If we have no light off (no ITT increase) within
30 seconds of Fuel Flow being introduced
(occurs at ITT <120 and N2 20%) we will
perform the abnormal engine start QRC.

41
Q

With the above Abnormal Start condition,
would Dry Motoring be considered?

A

Yes, we would want to dry motor the engine
in this case since we have a fuel soaked
engine with no light off of the fuel.

42
Q

What are the Dry Motoring Cycle Limits on
the ground? (SOPM Chap 2 Section 4)

A

Dry Motor 1:
90 seconds on, 5 minutes off between.
Dry Motor 2-5:
30 seconds on, 5 minutes off between.
After 5 cycles, process may be repeated after
a 15-minute cool down period.

43
Q

What other conditions require aborting a
start? (SOPM Chap 4 Section 3)

A
  1. No positive oil pressure increase within
    10 seconds of N2 rotation
  2. Tail wind starts with N1 not increasing
    prior to 50% N2
  3. N1 and/or N2 failing to accelerate to
    stable idle speeds (hung start)
  4. ITT trending to exceed starter limit (hot
    start)
  5. No ITT increase within 30 seconds of fuel
    flow (no light off)
  6. Intermittent electrical, pneumatic, or
    starter malfunction before starter
    disengagement
44
Q

After second engine start what is the N1
target value tolerance? (SOPM Chap 4
Section 3)

A

After second engine start, the target value is
-0.1 to +0.5 from the planned N1 value.
