LVOPS Flashcards
What does the term All Weather Operations indicate?
The term All Weather Operations is used to indicate operations in those conditions where the weather conditions may be limiting.
When are Low Visibility Operations generally put into force?
Low Visibility Procedures are generally put into force at airfields authorised for CAT II/III operations when the RVR falls below 400 metres and/or the cloud base falls below 200 ft.
When must RVR information be provided?
An Instrument approach and landing may not be conducted in less than 800 m visibility unless RVR information is provided.
How is LVO recency maintained?
LVO recency is maintained by conduct of the PPC.
What is the CM2 responsibility during LVO taxiing?
CM2 be responsible for chart reading and for providing on ground navigational assistance to CM1.
When shall a takeoff be discontinued in case of loss of visual references?
Below 80 knots.
When shall RVR values be obtained?
RVR values for TD, MP and RO (where available), shall be obtained before reaching the Approach Ban Point.
Which EICAS messages can not be shown during CAT II/III approaches?
EICAS messages SGL SOURCE DISPLAYS, SGL SOURCE RAD ALT or SGL SOURCE ILS can not be displayed for Cat II or Cat III operations.
For which LVOPS approaches must the autothrottle be engaged?
Autothrottle must be engaged for Cat IIIB operations.
What must the ASA display for an auto land?
LAND 2 or LAND 3.
Which crosswind limit should be applied during LVOPS?
Apply the most restrictive crosswind limit of:
• FCOM Limitations; Automatic landing
• FCOM Limitations; Crosswind limits based upon runway conditions.
How should malfunctions be dealt with above Alert Height?
• If ASA unchanged and equipment not required:
-Continue approach.
• If ASA has changed and equipment required for approach:
-Reset Minimums as applicable; or
-Go-around (unless suitable visual reference has been established).
How should malfunctions be dealt with below Alert Height?
For any EICAS Alert:
Continue the approach to an automatic landing and rollout unless the alert is accompanied by a Master Caution. The pilot should not intervene unless it is clearly evident that pilot action is required. If a Master Caution does occur a go-around must be flown, unless suitable visual reference has been established.
When should the pilot intervene below alert height?
The pilot should not intervene below AH unless it is evident that pilot action is required.
Which RVR values need to be above minimum for takeoff?
The required RVR value must be achieved for all relevant RVR reporting points.
