Q

Take off Minima?

A

-0 feet and 800 metres visibility

-0 feet and 550m if,
-runway has illuminated runway lighting and spacing not in excess of 60m

Q

How to judge distance for take off during the day in reduced visibility

A

runways 18m wide or greater have centreline markings 30 metres long and 30 metres apart making 60 metres from one marking to the start of the next.
-Therefore 10 markings = 600m

Q

What is contingency fuel?

A

Contingency Fuel is calculated at either the greater of 10% of the fuel required for take-off, climb, cruise and descent or 5 minutes at the aircraft holding speed at 1500 feet above the aerdrome elevation. This includes fuel for flight to an alternate if required.

Q

Fixed reserve fuel is?

A

Fixed reserve is an amount of fuel expressed as a period of time (30 minutes) holding at 1500 feet above the runway. RFDS carries and additional 10 minutes for added safety. Making 40 minutes in total

Q

Additional Fuel is?

A

Must be carried to cover loss of pressurisation, engine failure, proceed to a alternate, fly for 15 minutes at holding speed at 1500 feet above the runway,

In addition for RFDS operations 30 minutes of fuel is to be carried when reliant on a responsible person to mitigate PAL failure.

17
Q

Weather forecasts required?

A

-Aerodrome forecast for the desination and if required an alternate

One of the following
-Flight forecast
-GAF
-SIGWX above 10000feet
-Wind and temp

Fore a flight to a aerodrome without a Instrument approach the minimum is a GAF

36
Q

Additional Fuel is defined as?

A

additional (supplementary) fuel must be carried to cover:
loss of pressurisation
engine failure
at the critical point along a route and be able to:
proceed to an alternate aerodrome for the flight and:
fly for 15 minutes at the holding speed, for the aeroplane, at 1500 feet above the aerodrome elevation and
make an approach and landing.
In addition, for RFDS operations, additional fuel will also be carried for aerodromes with standby power and
reliant on responsible persons to mitigate PAL failure where ATC is not in operation.
Pilots reliant on ‘a responsible person’, as a contingency for PAL failure, at an aerodrome with standby power
available, but without ATC in operation and in lieu of an alternate, will carry 30 minutes contingency fuel
calculated at the low-level holding fuel flow applicable to the aircraft type.

37
Q

A “Responsibile person” is defined as?

A

The RFDS considers a responsible person to be:
* A person that is trained and has knowledge on how to operate the aerodrome lighting system in the
event of a PAL failure
* A person who has the necessary access to aerodrome lighting equipment
* Someone who is available to be called out in a timely manner to activate the aerodrome lighting
whenever required
