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)

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

Max xwind 10kts,

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

Checklist

21
Q

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?

25
What should be done if visibility is severely reduced above 100 kts?
Preferable to continue Use Heading bug on PFD or Yaw Bar
26
How many metres of runway is left after the first red centreline light passes under the nose?
900m
27
How many metres of runway is left if all the centreline lights are red?
300m Take action accordingly to ensure aircraft is stopped in remaining distance
28
When is a Departure Alternate required? FOPPM ch6a pg6-18
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
What is the criteria for the nominated Departure Alternate? FOPPM ch6a pg6-19
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
