Line Training Questions (Upgrade Training) Flashcards
On the load sheet how many KG’s must the fuel be within?
50kg
If the fuel is unable to be reconciled with the conventional method is there a process we can undertake before requiring a magna stick check?
Yes, there is a mathematical process that is found in RTG1.
What are the requirements for recording a trend?
- Between FL150-FL200
- Bleed selector in NORM
- Altimeter set to 1013hPa
- Prop De-Ice Off
- Gauges to be read from LHS
- Established in the cruise for 5 mins
What are the assumptions on the use of the drift down tables?
- The aircraft is in icing conditions
- MCP is set
- Speed is back at VREF +15 (Ice Pink Speed)
nb. If icing conditions do not exist the aircraft will be able to maintain route lowest safe.
What constitutes a stable start?
Nh 75% + or - 3%
What percentage Nh does the starter disconnect?
63%
On start, what is the initial fuel flow tolerance?
40kg/h + or - 20kg/h
What is the minimum start fuel for APU?
225kg in the #1 Tank.
What is the rule of thumb for landing at any runway on the network with regard to LDA.
We can take any runway 1,300m or greater under these conditions;
- Wet or Dry Runway
- De-Ice Off 10kt Tailwind
- De-Ice On No Tailwind
When is a landing graph provided in the RTG-2?
When a runway is too short to land on at MLW on a wet runway with de-ice on.
What is the correction factor applied to LDR?
- 1.43 Dry Runway
- 1.64 Wet Runway
For emergency operations do we need to apply a buffer above what the QRH provides us with?
No.
If the QRH correction for LDR is equal to or less than 1.64 what does this mean with regard to LDR?
Provided the runway is 1,300m or greater and the surface is dry any runway above 1,300m will suffice.
If there is a passenger seat change and a new load sheet cannot be obtained what is the procedure?
There is a trim change page in the performance manual.
What are the three drift down routes?
- NS - CHC
- CHC - HKK
- CHC - AKAVI (HN or PMR)
What are the requirements(non weather) for a weather alternate?
- Weather forecast & NOTAMS
- Weather conditions at the expected time of arrival, equal to or better than the alternative minima for the planned approach.
- Runway lighting from -30min ECT to +30min MCT.
- Notification and agreement from ROC.
What does a weather alternate not require?
- ATC
- RFS
nb. ROC will endeavour to arrange ATC and RFS.
What does a tech alternate require?
- Weather and NOTAMS
- Weather better than the alternate minima for the planned approach.
- Runway lighting for ECT - 30 and MCT +30min
What can the PIC elect to carry in lieu of a tech alternate?
60 mins holding fuel @ 1,500ft plus 30 mins fixed reserve.
What does a technical alternate not require?
- RFS
- ATC
- Traffic & Ground Staff
When is a departure alternate required?
- When the weather at the airport is below landing minima
What are the requirements of a departure alternate?
- Must be located within 1 hours single engine flight time
- Must have weather equal or better than alternate minima
What does a departure alternate not require?
- RFS
- ATC
- Ground services
What are the minimum weather before a weather alternate is required?
- Ceiling - 1,000ft above minima
- Visibility - 5km or 2km more than landing visibility. Whichever is greater.
What’s the time frame for arrival we need to consider the weather?
60 mins either side of ETA.
On arrival at the weather alternate what must the forecast weather be?
Precision Approach;
1. Ceiling of 600ft, or 200ft above DA/DH whichever is higher.
2. Visibility of at least 3km, or 1km more than the prescribed minima. Whichever is greater.
NPA;
1. Ceiling of 800ft, or 200ft above MDA.MDH whichever is higher.
2. Visibility 4km or 1.5km above minimum, whichever is higher.
What manual is all the alternate planning in?
RTG 1
With regard to alternate planning. If the destination aerodrome weather is below landing minima?
- Plan one alternate that doesn’t need a weather alternate. (1,000ft and 5km vis)
- Plan TWO alternates that are above the alternate minima.
On LFP if the alternates are grey what does this mean?
It means the arrival or departure occurs at night.
On LFP if the alternate doesn’t have a selectable box next to it, what does this mean?
It means there is no standard air route between these two destinations.
When are we required to have the weather radar on?
Any time it’s not day VMC
Can you let an FO do command practice when you still have pairing restrictions?
No
What does an FO being within 200 hours on type mean?
The FO cannot land in the following conditions;
- The weather is below alternate minima conditions.
- The runway is not contaminated
- Crosswind is less than 50% of the aircraft max
- Windshear has not been reported in the vicinity of aerodrome.
nb. It is the FOs responsibility to tell the captain they are within 200 hours.
What is MACTOW range?
It varies at the bottom end from 15% at 13tonnes to 21.5 at MTOW. The aft limit is 40.
What does the V marking mean on the touchdown zone drawing in the RTG?
It’s where the VASIs will take you to.
What is the PA for suspected explosive device?
“Vacate quickly, take hand luggage.”
What’s the PA for evacuation unnecessary?
“Remain Seated”
What’s the tailwind limit for a cross-get start?
20kt
When must DH be set on the EADI?
Any approach that’s not visual.
What is the tailwind limit for a GPU start?
35kt
When is approach fuel not required?
- When the standard routing includes tracking to the FAF.
- When the final approach track is within 30 degrees of the enroute track, and it is expected the arrival will be via the DME arc or radar vectored.
What is the taxi fuel allowance?
- 50kg Main Ports
- 35kg Regional Ports
What are the sports weights? When do we have to use them?
- 106kg
- Whenever there is a sports team with 10 or more people onboard.
