Q

After receiving clearance for a visual approach, who is responsible for wake turbulence separation?

A

The pilot is responsible if he calls the preceding aircraft in sight. If the pilot calls the field in sight, but not the preceding aircraft, the controller retains responsibility for separation.

A

265 KIAS above 14,000 MSL
230 KIAS above 6,000 MSL
200 KIAS at/below 6,000 MSL

24
Q

What is the minimum runway width?

A

148’

If a runway has an exemption waiver, it will be listed on the flight plan.

25
Q

Is there an exception to the standard runway width?

A

Yes, the Captain can elect to operate on a 100’ wide runway.

Day VFR, dry, 10 knot crosswind, thrust reversers, antiskid working.

26
Q

What are the weather requirements for the destination?

A

The destination weather reports/forecasts must be at or above authorized approach minimums at the estimated time of arrival.

27
Q

May the forecast destination weather ever be below authorized approach weather minimums for estimated arrival time?

A

Yes. Exemption 3585 allows filing to the destination airport with TEMPO groups in the TAF. Prevailing conditions must be above authorized approach minimums. TEMPO groups must be no less than HALF minimums required for the approach. The dispatcher must add one additional alternate to the flight plan.

28
Q

When must a takeoff alternate be designated?

A

If the weather is below that required to return to the field using CAT I minimums.

29
Q

When must a destination alternate be designated?

A

When weather for the ETA +/- one hour is reported or forecast to be below a 2000’ ceiling or 3 miles visibility. 1-2-3.

30
Q

Is there an exemption waiver to the 1-2-3 rule for designating a destination alternate?

A

Yes. A destination alternate is not required under Exemption 10332 if the weather at ETA +/- one hour is at least a ceiling of 1000’ and visibility is 3 miles. 1-1-3. Other restrictions apply.
(The airport must have a CAT I approach. No TS).

31
Q

What must the weather be at the designated alternate?

A

Weather minimums for the designated alternate(s) are derived from the one navaid/two navaid table in the Airway Manual Introduction section.

32
Q

The visibility is below 2 miles for takeoff. Which runway lights must be working?

A

HIRL

33
Q

The visibility is below standard for takeoff. Which lights/etc must be operative for takeoff?

A

HIRL or CL or RCLM

Any light or stripe which allows continuous identification of the runway surface. HIRL must be working. This is all you need down to RVR 1600, 1/4 visibility.

34
Q

What is the departure priority for all engines?

A

Green page all engine
ATC clearance
IFR or obstacle (10-9a) DP
Depart on course

35
Q

What is the departure priority for an engine out?

A

Green page
ATC clearance
As desired, e.g. runway heading

36
Q

Below what weather is the ILS signal protected?

A

Weather less than 800’ or less than 2 miles.

37
Q

What are the basic turbojet landing minimums?

A

RVR 4000 or 3/4 mile visibility
DH no less than 200’
MDH no less than 250’

38
Q

Below what visibility MUST RVRs be used?

A

1/2 mile

39
Q

What are the circling approach weather requirements?

A

Greater of: 3 miles or the published Cat D visibility

                     and

Greater of: 1000’ or the published Cat D HAA

40
Q

May you continue a Cat I approach once inside the FAF if the visibility goes below published visibility minimums?

A

Yes.

41
Q

How early may you push back without coordinating with the Dispatcher?

A

5 minutes.

42
Q

Can you push back prior to receiving the D-7 Pre-Pushback message?

A

No. It may contain a “STAY AT GATE” message.

43
Q

If you don’t get a D-7 Pre-Pushback message, but subsequently receive a valid WDR, may you push back?

A

Yes.

44
Q

Who maintains the runway status template (RST)?

A

Local station’s operations. Notify them if they don’t have the right runway on the D-7 Pre-Pushback message.

45
Q

If the WDR provides T/O data for a runway intersection, may you subsequently T/O full-length using the same data?

A

Yes.

46
Q

May you use the Dry WDR data if the runway is wet and and grooved?

A

No. If the runway is wet, you must use the WDR Wet data.

47
Q

What are the thunderstorm avoidance criteria?

20 miles: at or above 25,000'
48
Q

Which lights are required for a CAT II approach?

A

Down to 1200: SSALR, MALSR, ALSF I or II. SFL not required. HIRL.

Below 1200: ALSF I or II. SFL not required. CL. TDZ. HIRL.

49
Q

Can the 717 conduct SA CAT II approaches?

A

Yes.

50
Q

Which lights are required for a CAT III approach?

A

TDZ, CL, HIRL, ALSF I or II, SSALR, SALS. SFL not required.

51
Q

Below what visibility must the SMGCS plan be reviewed?

A

1200 RVR

52
Q

On low visibility approaches, which lights must be working below what visibility?

A

Below 1200 RVR, make sure CL and TDZ lights aren’t NOTAM’d INOP.

53
Q

What is the overwater limit for the 717?

A 
162 nm
(100 nm north of 35N Cherry Point)

FL250 or above reqd
