Question 20

How often must a Prof check be carried out?

Answer 20

Under the IFR at intervals of 6 months with a 30 day grace period.

Question 21

Additional Fuel is?

Answer 21

means the supplementary amount of fuel required to allow an aeroplane that suffers engine failure or loss of pressurisation at the critical point along the route (whichever results in the greater subsequent fuel consumption) to:

(a) proceed to an alternate aerodrome for the flight of the aeroplane; and

(b) fly for 15 minutes at the holding speed, for the aeroplane, at 1 500 ft above the aerodrome elevation in ISA conditions; and

(c) make an approach and landing.

Question 22

contingency fuel is?

Answer 22

for an aeroplane and flight, means the amount of fuel required to compensate for unforeseen factors, which must not be less than the greater of the following amounts:

(a) if:

(i) the aeroplane is a piston-engine aeroplane — 10% of the trip fuel amount for the flight; or

(ii) the aeroplane is a turbine-engine aeroplane — 5% of the trip fuel amount for the flight;

(b) an amount of fuel required to fly, in ISA conditions, for 5 minutes at the holding speed, for the aeroplane, at 1 500 ft above the planned destination aerodrome.

Question 23

Final reserve fuel is?

Answer 23

that is usable fuel remaining on completion of the final landing at the aerodrome

Part 135 requires turbine aircraft to have 30 minutes, RFDS Ops manual states we will land with 40 minutes

Question 24

Fuel to be carried onboard?

Answer 24

taxi fuel;

(b) trip fuel;

(c) destination alternate fuel, if required;

(d) holding fuel, if required;

(e) contingency fuel;

(f) final reserve fuel;

(g) additional fuel, if applicable.

Question 25

The pilot in command must declare to ATS a “minimum fuel” state if:

Answer 25

the pilot in command is committed to land the aeroplane at an aerodrome in accordance with this section; and

(b) it is calculated that if there is any change to the existing air traffic control clearance issued to the aeroplane in relation to that aerodrome, the aeroplane will land with less than the final reserve fuel remaining.

Note 1: The declaration of “minimum fuel” informs ATS that all planned aerodrome options have been reduced to a specific aerodrome of intended landing and any change to the existing clearance may result in landing with less than final reserve fuel. This is not an emergency situation, but an indication that an emergency situation is possible should any additional delay happen.

Note 2: Pilots in command should not expect any form of priority handling because of a “minimum fuel” declaration. ATS will, however, advise the flight crew of any additional expected delays, and coordinate when transferring control of the aeroplane to ensure other ATS units are aware of the flight’s fuel state.

(4) If the pilot in command of an aeroplane for a flight becomes aware that the amount of useable fuel on board upon landing at the nearest aerodrome where a safe landing can be made would be less than the final reserve fuel, the pilot in command must declare a situation of “emergency fuel” by broadcasting “MAYDAY, MAYDAY, MAYDAY FUEL”.

Answer 26

the flight crew member has successfully completed the operator’s general emergency training under section 12.04 and the operator’s flight crew member general emergency check of competency; and

(b) the flight crew member has successfully completed the operator’s conversion training under section 12.05 and the operator’s flight crew member proficiency check; and

(c) the flight crew member is undertaking, or has successfully completed, the operator’s line training under section 12.06 and the operator’s flight crew member line check; and

(d) if required, the flight crew member has successfully completed the operator’s differences training under section 12.07; and

(e) for a flight to which paragraph (d) does not apply, but for which life jackets are required to be carried on the aeroplane under regulation 135.370 of CASR — training in ditching procedures, and training, including in-water practical training, in the use of life jackets.
