OCA Questions Flashcards
Why is Vr increased for an icing take off?
Because V2 is also increased so Vr is increased to reach V2 by the 35ft screen height.
Degrees per mile for 15nm arc

Climb gradient calculation
Grounds speed x climb gradient (%) = required ROC
Currency requirements
Under the AMS:
- Within 35 days - minimum of one sector (if exceeded - 2 sectors with a training captain or 2 hour sims session is req)
- Annual line check
- 6 monthly OCA
On top of that:
- if absent more than 14 days days the pilot has to complete the recency CBT module.
- if absent for 45 days or more, the pilot has to complete both a sim session and 2 sectors with a training captain.
Vis / Cloud base below minimas. Can you continue past the FAF?
Yes for the cloud base. No for the visibility
Where do you find TIBA procedures?
Rear of the south flip, ENR 1.5-13 (pink pages)
Why is it good to monitor NP on a failed engine?
Oil in layering seals can wreck engine on subsequent start up.
An engine that is shut down shouldn’t be turning and creating oil pressure - hence a bigger overhaul required by engineers.
Low Vis T/O req >800m
- Both pilots qualified
- Runway approved. Centerline markings
- ATPCS working
- Visibility 14 rows of lights
- Departure Alt must be notified
Requirement for 2 alternates
If forecast indicate that at the ETA of arriving at the destination, the cloud base and or visibility is below the normal approach minima. i.e fog vis below landing minima
- one alternate that meets 1000ft above the DA/MDA and 5km vis or 2km above minima.
- two alternates that meet the standard alternate minima.
