Heavy Snow
Hail
Ice Pellets
Moderate freezing rain
When is a pre takeoff check required?
Within the holdover time and just prior to takeoff.
When RCCs are unavailable, what should be used to determine landing performance?
Contaminant type and braking action
What is RCAM
Runway Condition Assessment Matrix
The tool used to access and report surface conditions when contaminants are present via FICON. The RCAM maps type and depth to a RCC.
What does RCC reperesent?
The braking action expected for a particular contaminant level.
What are RCCs used for?
To determine landing distance.
Used for departures to identify the runway third with the most limiting contaminant.
Used to determine operating limitations such as crosswind limits with low runway friction.
When are speed diviation callouts required on approach to landing?
Target - 5 or any speed less than Vref.
What four principle CRM skills is SkyWest choosing to focus on?

What are the 5 CRM issues that are included in nearly every ASAP report?
Unable to manage distractions
Inability to recognize task saturation and level
Non specific WANT briefings that exclude key arrival procedure elements and go around / missed approach planning.
Briefing excludes key components preventing crew from having a share mental model. Especially during visual approach procedures.
Not holding other crewmembers accountable to the SOPM.
The FOM lists 4 tools to mitigate distraction.
Recognize a state of becomin g distracted, verbalize the concern, and request help to reduce task satuation and increase awareness.
Use task prioritization to determine what can be delayed for a later time during lower workload period.
Use good planning during low workload periods to coodinate efficient efforts during high workload periods.
First Officers maintain a state of readiness to assume delegated responsibilities.
