OKE Flashcards
- When is a takeoff alternate required?
GOM 5-72 TAKEOFF ALTERNATE
If the weather conditions at the airport of takeoff are below landing minimums for that airport (or the Captain’s landing minimums, if higher), or other operational conditions exist that would preclude a return to the takeoff airport, the Flight Release must specify an alternate airport for takeoff.
- What requirements and distance does the takeoff alternate need to comply with?
GOM 5-72 TAKEOFF ALTERNATE
For aircraft with two (2) engines, the takeoff alternate must be within one (1) hour of the departure airport at normal cruising speed in still air with one engine inoperative.
- Your destination has CAT I weather minimums and your destination alternate has a CAT III approach available. What are the destination alternate weather minimums required?
GOM 5-80 ALTERNATE AIRPORT WEATHER MINIMUMS
CONDITION D (qualified flight crew and aircraft qualified for CAT III): For airports with a published CAT III approach:
A. A ceiling of at least 200 feet HAT is required; and
B. A visibility of at least ½ statute mile or RVR 1800 feet (550 m) is required.
- What phases of flight require use of headsets and boom microphones?
GOM 5-21 TSO COMPLIANT HEADSET REQUIREMENTS
…all KA pilots shall use boom microphones while conducting operations below 18,000 ft. MSL.
- If an approach requires TACAN equipment, may that procedure be used if it is in the FMS database?
GOM 5-133 ACCEPTING INSTRUMENT APPROACHES THAT USE TACAN
An instrument approach that requires a TACAN system for a portion of the procedure may be accepted if the approach can be loaded from a current FMS data base and all required fixes are included in the displayed procedure (including any MAPs).
- Where are the domestic and international holding speeds found, what are they? When is the earliest you may slow to the appropriate maximum holding speed?
GOM 5-45 MAXIMUM HOLDING AIRSPEEDS and/or Jeppesen Airway Manual
The pilot should NOT reduce speed for holding more than 3 minutes before the ETA at the fix unless authorized by ATC.
- The flight crew shall maneuver the aircraft so as to touchdown within the touchdown zone of the runway. Where are the touchdown zone lights located on the runway and how far do they extend?
AIM 2-1-5 In-Runway Lighting
100’ beyond the landing threshold to 3000’ or midpoint of runway, whichever is less.
- Above what altitude must one pilot don and use oxygen when the other pilot is absent from his duty station?
FIB 20-63 Oxygen Use
…if for any reason at any time it is necessary for one pilot to leave his station at the controls of the airplane when operating at flight altitudes above flight level 410, the remaining pilot at the controls shall put on and use his oxygen mask until the other pilot has returned to his duty station.
- When must one pilot be on oxygen at all times? Should Normal or 100% oxygen be used?
GOM 5-9 OXYGEN USE
Above FL410 one pilot must wear and use the oxygen mask at all times.
When using an oxygen mask solely due to altitude requirements, the system may be operated in “Normal” mode to preclude an excessive use of oxygen.
- What is the maximum distance from the airport you may accept a visual approach?
GOM 5-138 VISUAL APPROACH PROCEDURE
The flight is operating within 35 miles of the destination airport and visual contact is established with the traffic to be followed or the flight crew has established and can maintain visual contact with the airport or a charted visual land mark for a Charted Visual Flight Procedure (CVFP) throughout the approach and landing.
- What is the maximum speed when conducting a procedure turn course reversal maneuver in the US?
AIM 5-4-9 Procedure Turn and Hold-in-lieu of Procedure Turn

- On a Cat III approach, to continue below AH what conditions must be met?
GOM 5-155 CAT III DESCENT BELOW AH
To continue the approach for landing below Alert Height (AH), no visual references are required. However, no autothrottle faults can exist and “LAND 3” must be displayed on the flight mode annunciator and annunciated to the pilot.
- Are you authorized to conduct circling approaches or circling maneuvers? If so, under what conditions?
GOM 5-137 CIRCLING MANEUVER
Company pilots are not authorized to conduct circling maneuvers when the ceiling is less than 1,000 feet or the visibility is less than three (3) statue miles or the weather is below the published landing minima for the circling maneuver (whichever is higher).
- If visual reference is lost during a circling maneuver, describe the missed approach procedure.
GOM 5-137 CIRCLING MANEUVER
If you lose visual reference while circling to land from an instrument approach, you must follow the missed approach specified for the original procedure (unless ATC specifies an alternate missed approach procedure). To become established on the prescribed missed approach course, make an initial climbing turn toward the landing runway and continue the turn until established on the missed approach course.
- What is the maximum distance from the runway you may fly during a circling maneuver?
GOM 5-137 CIRCLING MANEUVER
1.7 MILES OF THE RUNWAY FOR MINIMUMS ASSOCIATED WITH 140 KT APPROACH SPEEDS AND 2.3 MILES FOR MINIMUMS ASSOCIATED WITH 165 KT APPROACH SPEEDS

GOM 5-6 PILOT USE OF STANDARDIZED PROCEDURES AND CHECKLISTS
Standardization is crucial in maximizing flight safety and reducing pilot confusion in the cockpit. Standardization of flight procedures creates an environment in which each occupant will know what to expect from others and what others expect of him/her, thereby maximizing crew coordination and efficiency, regardless of changes in crew pairings.
- What is the purpose of the aircraft loading checklist and who can review and sign the document?
GOM 5-62 REQUIRED FLIGHT DOCUMENTS AND PILOT REVIEW REQUIREMENTS
Aircraft Loading Checklist (EF-046)
A. The Aircraft Loading Checklist is used to inform pilots the aircraft has been loaded properly and is configured for departure.
B. The Aircraft Loading Checklist is completed and signed by the Loadmaster/Station Representative or Vendor Loading Supervisor. Pilots are NOT responsible for completing the checklist. Anytime cargo is loaded, offloaded, or reconfigured, a new Aircraft Loading Checklist is required.
C. The Loadmaster is responsible for providing the Loadmaster Briefing to the Captain as described in the Pre-Departure Loadmaster Cargo Briefing section in this chapter. Once briefed, the Captain is responsible for signing the checklist. The Loadmaster shall ensure the signed copy is retained with the “leave behind” departure station paperwork.
Note: The Aircraft Loading Checklist is not required for DHL Network operations.
