OMA - MSA

Question 1

11.A LIST OF REPORTABLE INCIDENTS

Answer 1

IF ANNOTATED WITH * ALSO MOR

Question 2

Minimum Operating Altitude
DAY vs NIGHT

8.11.1

Answer 2

DAY VMC - 500 ft above all obstacles

NIGHT or IMC - relevant MSA or when under control of approved radar unit, Radar Cleared Alt
(min clearance 1000’ 5nm bandwidth)

Question 3

What Strong Wind Adjustments?
what about mountain wave?

8.11.3

Answer 3

Wind at relevant MSA >50kts?

• Increase MOA by 2000’

When flying over mountainous terrain in Mountain Wave conditions

• Vertical Clearance ≥ height of highest ridge above surrounding terrain

Question 4

IMC Below MSA - Single Radio Aid etc.

8.13.3.b

Answer 4

When Practical avoid reliance purely on a single radio aid or the FMC.

If unavoidable back up with expected heading, track and rad alt

Question 5

VMC below MSA is permitted …
DAY/NIGHT

8.13.3.c

Answer 5

DAY - (except RNAV Visual)
If the flight can be continued to ensure clearance from all obstacles

NIGHT -
Only if LINE OF FLIGHT IS LINE OF FLIGHT
Identifiable lit area (generally RWY) and distance is checked against height - if not possible maintain MSA until over the field.

RNAV Visual - VMC must be maintained and published vertical/lateral profile followed.

If UNABLE RNP - may continue if trajectory is towards identifiable lit area and pos checked. Otherwise climb to MSA.

Question 6

Cold Temperature Altimeter Correction
How to Apply Corrections

8.13.5.a

Answer 6

• Either fly or decline IFR assigned levels, do not adjust.
• When correcting FAF altitude - advise ATC of the correction.

Question 7

What are the 4 elements of the Safe Landing Policy

(OMA 8.13.7) how do you make sure your buddy achieves them?

Answer 7

Comprises of 4 elements

1. OPT
2. Stable Approach Criteria
3. Stable Touchdown Criteria
4. Safe Rollout Criteria

Set gates for each criteria

Question 8

Stable Approach Criteria - SAC
To comply you must…

8.13.7.b

Answer 8

Must be stable by minimum of 1000’ or G/A

Stable when..

C - Config (gear and land flap)
A - Approach spd *
P - Profile, both vertical and lateral

• only in cases of rapid wind changes, turb or adherence to ATC speed requirements

SPEED call maybe made at 1000’ - max 20kts above approach spd.

before 500’ - call is STABLE or G/A

Question 9

Safe Touchdown Criteria - STC
To comply you must…

8.13.7.c

Answer 9

If not achieved - fly rejected landing

Achieved when..

-Main gear Touchdown within TDZ
-Main gear Trajectory within the RWY edge assured
-Normal RWY contact within a/c geometric limits

KEEP HANDS ON THRUST LEVERS UNTIL SATISFIED

Question 10

Safe Rollout Criteria - SRC
To comply you must…

8.13.7.d

Answer 10

Taxi speed by at least last 300m or RWY

Achieved by..

-Timely use of deceleration devices
-Maintained until stop assured and rwy exit speed achieved
