Takeoff maximum……………………………………………………………………………. +2%
CROSSWIND / TAILWIND
FMS 2.5.2
Maximum demonstrated crosswinds are derived using steady-state winds from
flight tests conducted on a dry runway. Gust factors, while not limiting, should be
combined with existing weather, runway length, and surface conditions when
considering a decision to takeoff or land. While demonstrated crosswind
components are not AFM limitations, the following will be considered limitations
for Air Wisconsin operations.
Maximum demonstrated crosswind component:
FCM 2.5.3
X-WIND CATEGORY II OPERATIONS
FCM 2.5.4
The maximum wind components for landing during CAT II Operations are:
Crosswind…………..15 knots
Tailwind…………….. 10 Knots
CONTAMINATED RUNWAY OPERATIONS
Max depths of contaminents for takeoff and landing.
FCM 2.5.5
PITCH TRIM
2.6.2
Failure to set the pitch trim appropriate to the
computed center of gravity may result in excessive
rotation rate at takeoff.
Pitch trim must be set according to the airplane’s computed center of gravity
ROTATION RATE AND PITCH ATTITUDE
FCM 2.6.1
DISPATCH OPERATIONAL LIMITATIONS
FCM 2.7
Flap Extended Diversion
Upon arrival at the destination airport, an approach shall not be commenced,
nor shall the flaps be extended beyond the 0 degree position, unless one of
the following conditions exists:
• When conducting a precision approach, the reported visibility (or RVR) is
confirmed to be at or above the visibility associated with the landing minima
for the approach in use, and can be reasonably expected to remain at or
above this visibility until after landing; or
• When conducting a non-precision approach, the reported ceiling and
visibility (or RVR) are confirmed to be at or above the ceiling and visibility
associated with the landing minima for the approach in use, and can be
reasonably expected to remain at or above this ceiling and visibility until
after landing; or
• An emergency or abnormal situation occurs that requires landing at the
nearest suitable airport; or
• Option NOT USED by AWA.
SINGLE ENGINE TAXI (SET) LIMITATIONS (COMPANY)
FCM 2.8.1
Single engine taxi (SET) is the expected method of conducting taxi operations.
SET is not authorized:
• when damage or injury may result to equipment or personnel on the ramp
due to high thrust settings which may be required.
• for the first outbound taxi of the day; or
• when airport surfaces are contaminated with snow or ice.
Only the left engine may be shutdown for SET into the gate.
LIGHTNING PROTECTION
FCM 2.9.6
The top (outboard-most) two (2) trailing dischargers on each winglet and horizontal tail end cap must be intact. See System 23 of the CDL in the MEL / CDL manual
COLD WEATHER OPERATIONS
When must a visual inspection of the wing happen?
FCM 2.9.7
In addition to a visual check, a tactile check of the wing leading edge, wing forward
upper surface, and wing rear upper surface is required during the External
Walkaround (Preflight) Inspection to determine that the wing is free from frost, ice,
snow, or slush when:
1. the OAT is 5ºC or less; or
2. the wing fuel temperature is 0ºC or less; or
3. the atmospheric conditions have been conducive to frost formation
COLD WEATHER OPERATIONS
Takeoff is prohibited when?
FCM 2.9.7
Takeoff is prohibited with frost, ice, snow, or slush adhering to any critical surface
(wings, horizontal stabilizer, vertical stabilizer, control surfaces, and engine inlets)
SYSTEMS - AIR CONDITIONING / PRESSURIZATION
FCM 2.10
Maximum differential pressures:
Positive ………………………………….. 8.7 PSI
Negative……………………………….. -0.5 PSI

RESTRICTED MODES
Aircraft Flight Control Computer (FCC): 622-9815-904 Aircraft 405-471.
Use of PITCH mode for takeoff, climbs and descents is prohibited (Company).
Use of DES mode (Flight Director or Autopilot coupled) during approach is not
permitted.
Auto pilot MINIMUM ALTITUDES FOR USE
FCM 2.11.2
Operation with the autopilot engaged is prohibited at altitudes below 600 ft AGL,
except when performing the following:
• For visual and non-precision approaches, the minimum autopilot use
height is 400 ft AGL.
• For precision approaches (ILS), the minimum autopilot use height is
80 ft AGL.
• In accordance with 14CFR Part 121.579, AWA policy is to disconnect
the autopilot at 50 feet below the approved minimum descent altitude or
decision height, or the limits listed above whichever is higher.
• The ADC source coupled to the active autopilot must be the same as
that coupled to the ATC transponder during flight in RVSM airspace.
AUTOMATIC FLIGHT CONTROL SYSTEM (AFCS)
What are the dangers of ALTS CAP during single engine ops?
2.11.3
WARNING
During the ALTS CAP mode the flight guidance/autopilot
may not maintain the selected airspeed. If an engine failure
occurs during a climb while in ALTS CAP or just before
ALTS CAP, the airspeed may drop significantly below the
safe operating speed. Crew intervention may be required to
maintain safe operating speed.
