Limitations (Other) Flashcards
To assess general knowledge of limitations and operational information that need NOT be memorised.
Maximum runway slope?
+/-2%
Maximum Operating Altitude?
43,100 feet pressure altitude
Maximum Takeoff and Landing Altitude?
8,400 feet pressure altitude
Maximum “demonstrated” takeoff and landing crosswind from the AFM?
38 knots
Maximum allowable difference between Captain’s or First Officer’s altitude display and field elevation for RVSM operation?
75 feet
Does the standby altimeter meet the accuracy requirements for RVSM operation?
No
Takeoff crosswind limit on a DRY runway?
40 knots
Takeoff crosswind limit on a WET runway?
34 knots
Takeoff crosswind limit on a CONTAMINATED runway?
24 knots
Do gusts need to be considered for crosswind limitations?
Yes. The Emirates policy is to include the gust as part of the limit.
Below what weight must takeoff crosswind limits be reduced?
250,000 kg
Reduce crosswind limit by 1 knot for every 5,000 kg below 250,000 kg.
Greater than what CG must takeoff crosswind limits be reduced?
39% MAC
Reduce crosswind limit by 10 knots for CG greater than 39% MAC.
Landing crosswind limits are based on a runway of what width?
45 meters
Landing crosswind limit on a DRY runway?
45 knots
Landing crosswind limit on a WET runway?
40 knots
Landing crosswind limit on a runway CONTAMINATED with compact snow, dry snow or wet snow?
25 knots
Landing crosswind limit on a runway CONTAMINATED with slush or water?
17 knots
Landing crosswind limit on a runway CONTAMINATED with ice?
15 knots
Landing crosswind limit correction wherever asymmetric reverse thrust is used?
Reduce crosswind limit by 5 knots on wet and contaminated runways.
