Operational Policies

Question 1

Low time FO landing limits

Answer 1

Cant land unless CA is check airmen:

1. Special qualification airports
2. Vis at or below 3/4SM or 4000RVR
3. 15 KT crosswind
4. Contaminates on runway that effect performance
5. Braking action less than good
6. Windshear reported in the vicinity of the airport
7. Captain deems it prudent

Question 2

Special qualification airports

Answer 2

The crew may not operate into the airport unless within 12 months the captain had made a takeoff and landing at that airport.
OR
CA has reviewed the Jepp qualification pages on the EFB

Restrictions do not apply if vis is at least 3SM and ceiling 1,000ft above lowest MEA MOCA or IAF alt

Question 3

Minimum experience levels

Answer 3

CA or FO with less than 100hrs in the aircraft type cannot fly with another crew member with less than 100hrs.

Time not seated at the controls, ie crew rest times, do not count towards 100hrs

Question 4

RVSM preflight

Answer 4

Check MX logbook. ICON RVSM in item and description column, ensure no RVSM deferrals

Question 5

RVSM required equipment

Answer 5

1 autopilot warning/disconnect light
1 autopilot with a disconnect switch
1 automatic altitude control device
2 Primary altimeters
1 altitude alerting device
1 altitude reporting transponder

• must notify ATC if any of these fail.

Question 6

RVSM type mandatory ATC reports

Answer 6

Must notify ATC if:
1. turbulence affects the ability to maintain assigned flight level
2. loss of redundancy of altimetry systems
3. no longer compliant due to equipment failure

Question 7

RVSM level off requirement

Answer 7

1. Must not overshoot or undershoot altitudes by more than 150ft.
2. Must report level off when not in ADS (automatic dependant survailance) or radar environment.

Question 8

RVSM automation requirement?

Answer 8

Automatic altitude control system must be engaged during level cruise.

Question 9

Strategic lateral offset procedures (SLOP) give you the option to fly in which 3 positions?

Answer 9

Centerline, 1 mile right, 2 miles right.
Never left or more than 2 miles right.
This may only be done in oceanic airspace. Ie FIRS
There is no ATC clearance for this and it is not necessary that ATC be notified.

Question 10

Can offsets be applied at oceanic entry and exit points?

Answer 10

They may be applied at the entry points but must re join centerline at the exit point.
