Q

Is the stop end visibility controlling?

FOPPM 7.7

A

No,

Not unless the mid-point RVR is not available

17
Q

How many lights do we need to see for:

a) 300m vis?
b) 400m vis?
c) 550m vis?

A

300m vis = 5 lights

400m vis = 7 lights (6.6)

550m vis = 9 lights (9.1)

18
Q

Describe the Low vis Take-off techniques (Captain and FO)?

PIC
AC
VIS
ALTN

A

PIC -100hrs seated in LHS

AC -NWS, Normal Brakes, Anti-skid, THR REV, Auto Br, Spoilers, Wipers, TOGA

VIS -300m centreline lighting, 400m centreline marking

DEP ALTN -
within 60mins (430nm)
wx forecast > Landing Minima for most suitable IAP
for ETU +-30mins ETA

19
Q

Describe the Low Vis taxi procedure?

A

TAXI -
Map to Ground,
no brief or checks unless park brake SET,
Full length

20
Q

Describe the Low Vis Before Take-off procedure?

A

LINE UP -
Cx rwy markings / rwy symbol position ND / ILS signal varified,

Max xwind 10kts,

Lights 5 (300m) / 7 (400m) -no need for abeam rwy light

Checklist

21
Q

Describe the Low Vis Take-off procedure?

A

TO-

TOGA
Standing Start

22
Q

What are the FO calls during Low Vis take-off?

A

“Left of Heading”, “Right of heading”

if deviation away from rwy centreline is made

23
Q

How many ways must the rwy be variefied for a Low Vis take-off?

A

3 ways

Rwy markings
Rwy symbol on ND
ILS signal varified

24
Q

What should be done if visibility is severely reduced prior to 100 kts?

A

Reject

25
Q

What should be done if visibility is severely reduced above 100 kts?

A

Preferable to continue

Use Heading bug on PFD or Yaw Bar

26
Q

How many metres of runway is left after the first red centreline light passes under the nose?

A

900m

27
Q

How many metres of runway is left if all the centreline lights are red?

A

300m

Take action accordingly to ensure aircraft is stopped in remaining distance

28
Q

When is a Departure Alternate required?

FOPPM ch6a pg6-18

A

The wx at the Departure AD is < lowest published landing minima for the runway in use during ETU

A valid TAF is not available for the departure AD
(valid for period of flight)

Other reasons where departure AD is not available for landing

29
Q

What is the criteria for the nominated Departure Alternate?

FOPPM ch6a pg6-19

A

within 60mins (430nm)

wx forecast > Landing Minima for most suitable IAP
for ETU +-30mins ETA

taking into account any req to increase landing minima for OEI
