Q
  1. Can a flight be released based on a METAR?
A

GOM 5-79 FLIGHT RELEASE BASED ON A METAR

When weather conditions forecast in a TAF prevent the release of a flight, but a METAR indicates current weather conditions are at or above minimums, a flight may be released provided the METAR history shows a reasonable trend of weather conditions at or above the minimums required.
Note: One METAR reporting weather above minimums does not establish a “reasonable trend” and is not acceptable for release.
Time is limited in this situation and prior coordination between the PIC and Flight Follower is essential. Flight paperwork and preflight preparations must be completed to ensure a takeoff, approach, and landing can be accomplished prior to issuance of the next normally scheduled METAR report.
Note: Known or anticipated ATC delays must be considered.

62
Q
  1. If a flight is approaching an FIR boundary and has been unable to establish communication with the appropriate controller, what action should be taken
A

GOM 6-16 AIRSPACE ENTRY WITHOUT A CLEARANCE

At any time pilots cannot contact a Controller the flight may not be operating in accordance with a clearance needed for safe operation. However, the only other choice is to hold at the FIR boundary while establishing communications.
If a flight enters holding at the boundary, there may be aircraft in-trail which present conflicts. Although each situation must be handled separately, generally a flight should continue as flight planned and the flight crew should establish communications as soon as possible. The flight crew should also consider a broadcast to other aircraft. In appropriate locations the provisions of the International Air Transport Association (IATA) in-flight broadcast should be followed.
Note: Each country has its own rules regarding this subject. The Commonwealth of Independent States, for example, specifically prohibits entry without direct communications with ATC. These requirements are in the ATC section of the Jeppesen Airway Manuals.

63
Q

Q
  1. List some of the approved methods for a reasonableness check prior to entry and after exiting MNPS airspace.
A

GOM 6-45 LRNS ACCURACY REASONABLENESS CHECKS

  1. Current Position: select and tune a VOR with DME and compare present position with displayed bearing and distance.
  2. Abeam Radial or Fix: Use AOM procedures to fix a NAVAID offset from the aircraft track.
  3. Overhead: select and tune a route waypoint ground-based NAVAID with DME and verify that the RMI needle swing, DME distance bottoming out, and the FMS leg change all occur simultaneously.
  4. Radar: obtain an ATC radar fix overhead a station or intersection that is a route waypoint and verify that FMS leg change occurs simultaneously with the ATC radar fix.

Q
  1. When should 2000 be set in the transponder?
A

GOM 5-119 TRANSPONDER OPERATION

Outside the U.S., when leaving an area in which the transponder has not been used and entering an area in which the transponder will be used, select code 2000.

67
Q
  1. What is ‘SLOP’ or Strategic Lateral Offset Procedure, and what are the 3 positions the Aircraft can be flown in?
A

GOM 6-61 STRATEGIC LATERAL OFFSET PROCEDURE (SLOP)

The Strategic Lateral Offset Procedure (SLOP) is a flight procedure whereby a crew can offset the flight’s track 1 or 2 nm to the right of centerline to obtain lateral spacing from nearby aircraft.
In relation to a route or track, there are three positions an aircraft may fly; centerline, one, or two nm right. Offsets are not to exceed 2 nm right of centerline.

Q
  1. Can a Kalitta Air 767-300 be flown in the ‘NAT Tracks’ with 1 HF radio deferred?
A

MEL 23-11-1-2B High Frequency (HF) Communication System - SATCOM Operative

May be inoperative while conducting operations that require two LRCS provided:
a) Aircraft SATVOICE system operates normally,
b) SATVOICE services are available as a LRSCS over the intended route of flight,
c) The ICAO Flight Plan is updated (as required) to notify ATC of the communications equipment status of the aircraft,
and
d) Alternate procedures in OPERATIONS (O) below are used.
