The takeoff/landing crosswind guidelines are recommended for the safe operation of the aircraft. If landing an aircraft with a thrust reverser deferred, what should the crew take in to consideration regarding these guidelines?
Reducing the guidelines for their specific situation by 5 knots whenever asymmetric thrust is used.
When operating a FREIGHTER in to an ETOPS environment with a crew compliment of 3, what must the crew ensure for with regards to the oxygen requirements?
Must reference additional oxygen requirements for: number of souls on board in the chart located in SP.1.1.
When flying with supernumeraries on the FREIGHTER aircraft, what must be ensured as it relates to the supplemental oxygen bottles on the rigid barrier and crew lavatory?
Bottles must be full during the cockpit preflight, before carrying supernumeraries
What is the APU starter duty cycle?
3 Starts in 60 minutes, with a 1 minute period between subsequent start attempts
What is the minimum engagement for the autopilot on a takeoff or go around?
200 feet AGL
Some aircraft its 500 feet AGL
What must a crew do when auto landing an aircraft using the advisory landing distance in the QRH or a TLR without autoland distances provided?
Add 1000 feet to the landing distance provided
If an overweight landing is necessary , may the crew elect to do an autoland?
No
When doing the HF test before flight are there any special considerations the operating crew should be aware of?
Before testing on the ground the crew must ensure that refuelling operations have ceased
Normal Procedure is to use a derated takeoff utilising a maximum temperature (D-TO). Is it ever acceptable practice to use T01 or T02 setting?
No. TO1 and TO2 power settings are not authorised for use
The engine starter duty cycle is what?
May be operated continuously for 5 minutes (Timed by the captain)
Must be allowed to cool for 30 seconds per minute of operation prior to Re-engagement
When an aborted start situation occurs after the starter is disengaged, what must the crew take in to consideration with regards to N2 as limiting before re-engaging the starter for another attempted start?
N2 must be approaching Zero. Specifically:
0% N2 is recommended prior to re-engagement.
0-20% N2 is permissible.
21-30% N2 is acceptable in case of fire
>30% N2 may result in damaging the starter
When operating an aircraft with PW4060 engines, what additional limitations must the crew be aware of before advancing power for takeoff?
Oil temperature must be greater than 50 degrees Celsius
What is the maximum altitude for flap extension?
20,000 feet
What are the limitations on the use of speed brakes?
Not to be extended when wing flaps are set to 25 or 30, or
When the aircraft is below 800ft AGL
When is the use of a flight director a requirement for approach?
An autopilot or Flight Director is required on final approach while operating at night or in IMC
How is the aircraft to be operated for takeoff with less than 5000lbs of fuel in the centre fuel tank?
Centre fuel pumps selected OFF for takeoff and selected ON when the aircraft is above 10,000ft AGL
Can the aircraft be dispatched with an inoperative centre fuel tank indication?
No. There is no DDG relief for an inoperative centre fuel tank indication
If, in flight the Centre fuel pump messages are displayed on the EICAS, and the pumps are selected OFF. Is it acceptable for the crew to reselect the centre fuel pumps ON if usable fuel shows back up on the centre fuel level indication?
Yes
While operating an aircraft equipped with GE engines in Ice Crystal Icing conditions, what additional limitations must the crew adhere to in regard to both engine and wing anti ice systems?
The Engine Anti Ice must be selected ON (both non automatic and automatic systems) any time the aircraft is operating in ice crystal icing conditions, regardless of whether the OAT is below -40 degrees C or not.
The Wing Anti Ice system must be selected ON as well, anytime the aircraft is operating in the ice crystal icing conditions below 22,000 feet
What is the maximum allowable difference between the Captain and first officers altimeters while in flight?
200 feet
What is the maximum allowable difference between the captains and first officers altimeters on the ground prior to flight?
SL: 40 feet
5000’: 45 feet
10000’: 50 feet
Altimeter cross checks shall be completed and noted on the OFP prior to every flight regardless of operation in RVSM
What are the maximum and minimum glide slope angles?
2.5 to 3.25
What are the maximum and minimum glide path angles to a DA?
