Q

When might you consider inhibiting the ROPS function?

A

A/C 389-393
When runway is identified as incompatible with our OPS by crew briefing item/airport information page, it may be inhibited when less than 15nm from airfield:
-ROPS may be inhibited for specific approach procedures found to potentially produce an undo ROW alert.
-If NOTAM displaces the landing threshold (shorten landing distance available).

A/C 394-399 & 601-699
ROPS may be inhibited for specific approach procedures, which have been found to potentially produce an undo ROW alert

– Not required to inhibit ROPS if runway is not in TAWS database

59
