Destination alternate: max 2 cat below

ETOPS en-routr alternates: Minimum level 4 available in 30 minutes is acceptable

All others: Nominated person flight ops may authorize lower in exceptional cases

Planning Minima for Destination Aerodrome

Aerodrome can be used as destination if weather conditions will be at or above the operating minima 1 hour before and after ETA.

If not, use 2 alternates

If no met info avail, also use 2 alternates

PBN considerations for destination aerodromes / alternates

Alternate shall only be selected as alternate if approach at the alternate or at the destination does not rely on GNSS.

If no alternate required solely GNSS is ok

For all planning aerodromes OCC shall make sure GNSS is available ETA +- 1 hour if approach minima is based on PBN

No alternate possible if

Duration of the planned flight or in case of inflight replanning the remaining flight time < 6 hours

and

Two seperate rwys are available and usable and the weather indicates at ETA +- 1 hour:
Ceiling > 2000ft or circling height + 500ft and
Visibility > 5 km

(Or isolated destination)

(Company added fuel ADDFU)

Fuel planning-

What is trip fuel

Fuel for take off, clumb, cruise, descend , approach and landing

How well did you know this?

Perfectly

Fuel planning-

What is contingency fuel

Higher of 
(lowest of:
- CONT5%: 5% of trip fuel
- CONT3%: 3% of trip fuel if fuel enroute alt available 
- 20MIN: fuel for 20 mins flying)

and

MINCONT: 5 min flying at Holding speed in 1500ft AGL

Fuel planning -

What is alternate fuel

Fuel to the alternate:

-missed approach
+ climb to expected departure route, cruise, descend
+ approach and landing

Fuel planing-

What is final reserve fuel?

30 min at holding speed in 1500ft

Fuel planning-

what is additional fuel?

When flight is operated without a destination alternate fuel for additional 15 mins at holding speed at 1500ft is required

ALTN …. NO ALT

Fuel planning-

What is ETOPS additional fuel?

If FOB at ETP is less than CFR, ETOPS additional fuel will be necessary

Fuel planning-

What is NIC

Non icing correction

ETOPS critical fuel scenario is calculated with 100% icing.

If the are only partial or no icing conditions, require ETOPS fuel may be reduced by the NIC amount.

Fuel planning -

What is company added fuel?

Fuel for tankering or recommend by company

Planned TOW and LW on OFP assumes usage of ADDFU

Predetermined Point Planning is used…

when the destination is isolated

Reduced contingency fuel is used when…

Weight is an issue. On OFP:

DEST = Basic planning
DEST 2 + RCF (3% conti)
DEST + RCF (5% conti from DP to dest)

Higher fuel requirement of RCF scenarios is taken

LMC tolerance

1.500 kg

New OFP needed if ZFW differs by more than

3.000 kg

Is a circling / visual approach allowed during night?

Yes

Conditions for a visual approach

Visibility >5000m visual pattern 1500ft Stable on final at latest at 500ft

Conditions for a visual approach USA

``` Visibility 3SM Ceiling 2000 ft Visual pattern 1500 ft Stable on final at latest in 500ft Minimum cloud clearance 500ft below, 2000ft horizontal ```

Minimum fuel for diversion

Fuel to the diversion aerodrome plus | Final reserve

FORDEC Two types of fordec:

Aiming for the first possible solution (time critical, immediate action) Aiming for the best possible solution (timely but not immediate action is required)

Correct usage of MAYDAY

``` MAYDAY 3x Name of station addressed Call sign Nature of distress Intention of commander Present position, altitude/FL and heading Any other useful information ``` MAYMAY MAYDAY MAYDAY Langen Radar, Germancargo 116, engine fire, diverting to FRA, possible CHA FL110, descending, heading 330.

RVSM between which FL

FL 290 and 410

Wording for fuel emergency

MAYDAY MAYDAY MAYDAY fuel When after landing will less than final reserve

When to use MINIMUM FUEL

If alteration of clearance results in landing below final reserve

In the event of a lightning strike conduct the following procedure

Check of al radio communications, navigational equipment and the weather radar

TS avoidance lateral

20. 000 ft 10 NM 25. 000 ft 15 NM 30. 000 ft 20 NM

TS avoidance vertical

Never underfly Overfly by at least 5000 ft

Wake turbulence - | Radar separation

Heavy behind Super. 6 NM Heavy behind Heavy. 4 NM Heavy behind Medium. 3 NM Heavy behind light 3 NM

CRS

Certificate of Release to Service

Un case of ramp inspection note down:

Name of inspector Name of performing authority Reason of the inspection

How shall a ramp check be performed?

Not down name, authority and reason Check Legitimation Active crew member shall accompany the inspector
