Answer 1

30 seconds based on GS and bank angle

Therefor 30s, 60s, and 90s

Scale 10nm, only one line
Scale 20nm, 2 lines
greater than 20nm 3 lines

Question 2

Holding representation on the ND; when does it change to a scaled representation?

Answer 2

When the airplane is within 3 minutes of the fix

(as per FCTM this is also the time you should start to decel)

Question 3

Converted Meteorological Visibility (CMV)
May be used when?

Answer 3

• The RVR is not reported
• Met visibility is available
• Limiting letters R and V must not be displayed in the minima boxes

Question 4

Converted Meteorological Visibility (CMV)
Shall not be used for?

Answer 4

• Takeoff
• Calculating any other required RVR minimum less than 800m

Question 5

Approach Ban Point

Answer 5

It is the Outer Marker or its equivalent position

Lido depicts the OM equivalent position with a box around the altitude

Where no outer marker exists use 1000’ above TDZE

No outer marker, no equivalent position and MDA/H is above 1000’ then use the FAF

Question 6

How do you calculate FDP and Duty Period?

Answer 6

Means​ an instrument​ approach​ with a minimum​ descent height (MDH),​ or​ ​DH​ when flying​ a​ CDFA​ technique,​ not​ lower than​ 250​ FT and​ an RVR/CMV​ ​of not​ less than​ 750​ M for airplanes.

Question 9

Wind Gusts are limiting, when can the commander disregard the gust?

Answer 9

• Insignificant in magnitude
• Variable in direction

Management System that
makes use of all available resources

Question 12

Converting between °F and °C

Answer 12

-40°F = - 40°C
41°F = 4°C
61°F = 16°C
82°F = 28°C
104°F = 41°C
