OMA 8.3 Flight Procedures Flashcards
Can a flight be operated as VFR ?
Normally always IFR and with ATC and generally not allow, VFR only when authorized by the duty pilot
When should a commander not take off or continue to dest with respect to the wx condition ?
- should not continu or take off unless the expected wx at dest or alternate are above/at planning minima
- nor continue toward dest unless at ETA wx at dest or 1 alternate is above applicable minima
Upon landing what wind information should be used to determine the wind limit ?
All references to tailwind limitations and maximum demonstrated crosswinds in Operations Manuals and FCOMs are referenced to the ATC reported wind.
Does easyjet hold the approval to flight all NAT HLA route ?
NAT HLA Operations are approved on special routes only:
- Blue Spruce Routes between Europe and Iceland
- Tango Routes between Northern Europe and Spain/Canaries/Lisbon FIR
Refer to Lido eRM GEN Part RSI NAT RAR section 2.2.2.13.2.2 Routes within the NAT HLA
What are the lateral requirements for NAT HLA ?
PBN RNP 4 and RNP 10
One long range navigation system (GNSS, IRS)
What are the longitudinal requirement for NAT HLA?
One accurate master clock
What does the number associated with RNP mean ?
nav position error shall be less or equal to RNP value for 95% of the time
What should be done prior to enter NAT HLA ?
A Time check shall be done. Flight Crew shall ensure that Aircraft main clock is set to GPS time if available.
A NAV accuracy check shall be done if not GPS Primary.
An RVSM Altimeter check.
A SELCAL check shall be done (if HF is to be used for primary communication).
As applicable an Oceanic Clearance shall be obtained and acknowledged prior to NAT HLA entry, on VHF if possible.
When RNAV substitution is allowed ?
As long as the FMGS display :
SID/EOSID : GPS Primary/Nav accuracy High
STAR/MIssed approach : Nav accuracy High
From which FL the RVSM start and finish ?
From FL290 to FL410
What is the vertical separation in RVSM airspace ?
1000ft instead of 2000ft in normal airspace
During flight preparation what is the maximum altimeter difference for RVSM operation ?
Max 75ft
What are the equipment required for RVSM ?
- 2 primary altimeters
- one automatic altitude control system (AP)
- One altitude alerting system
- one SSR transponder with alt reporting
Before entering RVSM airspace what is the max altimeter difference ?
200ft before entering
When can you not follow GPWS ?
- Daylight
- VMC condition
- positive visual verification that no hasard exist
- and possibility of nuisance has been brief
If triggered, any GPWS must be reported with an ASR
