What time frame shall the weather forecast be considered for the destination and alternate aerodrome?
A period commencing 1 hour before and ending 1 hour after the ETA.
Om-a 8.1.2.2.2.1
What time frame of weather conditions shall be considered for the departure aerodrome?
Actual weather conditions.
Om-a 8.1.2.2.2.1
When are two destination alternates required?
- The weather reports or forecasts at destination are below the applicable minima.
- No meteorological information is available.
- The landing performance requirements cannot be assured at a destination aerodrome due to dependence on a specific wind component or runway state.

Oma 8.3.7.3
What are the standard calls for low fuel state and describe.
MINIMUM FUEL:
Having committed to land at a aerodrome, the pilot calculates any change to the existing clearance to that aerodrome may result in landing with less than planned final reserve.
MAYDAY MAYDAY MAYDAY FUEL:
When the calculated usable fuel predicted to be available upon landing at the nearest aerodrome where a safe landing can be made is less then the planned final reserve.
Oma 8.3.7.2
When may the commander decide to continue to destination if a downgrade in RFFS happens in flight?
If it is considered safer to do so than to divert.
What does Just Culture mean?
A culture in which front line operators or others are not punished for actions, omissions or decisions taken by them that are commensurate with their experience and training, but where gross negligence, willful violations and destructive acts are not tolerated.
