| LRC, 5% faster than MRC with 1% fuel decrement
108
Why do we step climb?
These are planned and entered on the flight plan with forecast winds/weights etc. The FMS also calculates when it would be optimal (CI, min cost, otherwise min fuel) to climb depending on the step entered. Winds must be entered for accurate predictions. EICAS VNAV STEP CLIMB will display if no climb commenced within 5 min of calculated climb.
109
Why should routes not be shortcut?
When making a shortcut, the FMC my compute a shorter time frame but that may be because it doesn’t know the winds for the new track. Once new winds are uploaded the shortcut may not be short anymore. The ETPs are built around the flight plan tracks and if not flying on those tracks then the ETPs re no longer valid.

What is RNP?
RNP is a subset of PBN, RNP is RNAV with performance monitoring. The RNP value is the accuracy (NM) required, the system guarantees that this will be met 95% of the time
212
RNP vs ANP including PFD/ND indications?
The ANP and RNP is displayed on PROG pg 4 and also on the bottom of the ND including which Nav source is being used.
IF ANP>RNP, a NAV UNABLE RNP EICAS message will display, ND RNP values turn amber and the FMS message VERIFY POSITION annunciates. If the aircraft deviates outside the RNP tolerance the deviation indicators on the PFD turn amber.
213
If ANP exceeds RNP what is required?
“Negative RNP” if one system still operates, the failure does not need to be reported. A safety report will be required
214
What is oceanic airspace?
RNP 10, oceanic and remote: AUS, NZ, US, ICAO require 2 LRNS
215
Minimum equipment for RVSM?
* Two primary altitude indications
* One ATC transponder with altitude reporting
* One autopilot with altitude control
* One altitude alert function
216
Vertical speed considerations in proximity to other traffic in RVSM?
Traffic or areas of high traffic, ROC should <1000 ft/min ±1000 ft
of cleared flight level.
217
Can deviation due weather be conducted without a clearance in oceanic RVSM?
If Wx diversion required and clearance cannot be obtained, can deviate up to 10nm L/R track, if more required: S of track up 300ft, N of track down 300ft (SUND)
218
When can SLOP be used?
Only available in oceanic airspace
219
What can SLOP be used for?
to avoid collisions of on same airway due to GPS accuracy, generally to avoid head on collisions, not for Wx or wake turbulence. Only used on published, fixed or flex tracks, no point on UPRs.
220
How far are SLOP deviations?
1 or 2nm to right of track
221
What must a DDO include?
2 local nights(8hrs, 2100-0800) 34hrs min
222
How long must TFOD be?
greater of 12hrs or preceding duty period, with exceptions if duty≤12hrs every 7 days, 36 hours FOD
223
When can standby be rostered? and for how long?
Standby can only immediately precede a duty (max 12 hours).
224
Max duty following standby?
Maximum STBY and duty =6 hours+FDP
225
Open day protocols?
Open days will be a min 3 days. Not counted as duty until called out for which a min 12 hour notice is given
226
Minimum crew compliment and composition for dispatch
Min flight crew 9.5-12 hours=3, ≥12hours 4 flight crew. Min 10 cabin crew with decrease in Pax, full pax 13 required
227
FDP limit?
16-18 hours (1-2 additional flight crew)
228
Can FDP be extended and time at controls?
Max time at controls is 10.5 hours (augmented). Split duty: 3-10 hours of rest=1.5-5 hour extension. Can extend time and controls and FDP by 2 hours if crew deemed capable of it. Can increase by 4 hours if suitable sleeping accommodation supplied
229
Maximum cumulative duty in 7/14/28 days
Duty: 100 in 14 days, 60 in 7 days
230
Maximum cumulative flight time in 7/14/28 days
Flight time: 1000 in 365 days, 100 in 28 days
231
What is significant about 30T of fuel?
If 30T of fuel is loaded the C.G. does not move, in the event of a diversion and second sector without any change to load, putting 30T of fuel on would not change C.G. position (%MAC) from ZFW %MAC
232
If a safety report is submitted for an IRM/RRM does the ATSB need to be informed?
No, that gets done by safety.
233
Min EFB battery life?
Battery must have sufficient charge for the duty, it can be charged onboard in crew rest. A minimum charge of 20% prior to TOPD is recommended.
234
What is different about lithium battery fires?
If a lithium battery catches on fire, it must be extinguished/cooled with water or other non flammable liquid. Normal fire fighting methods may be used to combat any surrounding fire as a by product of the lithium battery but is unlikely to work in the battery itself.
235
What defines the Maximum thrust limited altitude?
Maximum thrust limited altitude for VAI B777 is based on 300fpm (PI tables notes)
236
Are there any buffers built into TLDC with regard to wind?
TLDC uses 50% of headwind component and 150% of tailwind component.
