RNP VS RNAV
RNP requires aircraft nav integrity monitoring PBN that does not require this is called RNAV
what is the purpose of PBN
to allow an aircraft to operate without radar control below MSA, with complex terrain , or where no reference can be made to ground based nav aids
what is PBN
a recognised method of area navigation using ac based or space based nav aids with reduced or no reference to ground based nav beacons. all phases of flight
minimum ground time for 738

what is a regulation on fueling and PRMs
whilst PRM passengers are boarding from an ambulift it is not permitted to board other pastures through the opposing doors whilst the aircraft is being refuelled

fuel tankering on contaminated runways
No!
when do we use a predetermined point procedure?
when it is not possible to load the required alternate fuel and final reserve fuel due to the distance between the destination and the destination alternate
when do you use a reduced contingency fuel procedure rcfp
when it is not possible to load the fuel so contingency can be reduced below five minute minimum level
alternate fuel when 2 destination alternate aerodromes used
must be fuel for the greater number
what is additional fuel?
so, in the event of engine failure or loss of pressurisation in critical part en route, the aircraft may descend as necessary hold for 15 minutes at 1500 feet in standard conditions and make an approach and landing. normally covered normal fuel planning or add 15 minutes holding fuel at 1500 feet above destination, if no alternate required
what is final reserve fuel?
fuel to fly for 30 minutes at 1500 feet above the aerodrome elevation in standard conditions using mass on arrival at the destination alternate
what amount is contingency fuel
3%/ 5% or 20 minutes of holding fuel based on the aircraft takeoff weight. or an amount to fly for five minutes at holding speed at 1500 feet above the destination aero drome in standard conditions
what is contingency fuel
The fuel required to compensate for unforeseen factors which could have an influence on the fuel consumption. maybe used during any portion of the flight after pushback or engine start
what is Taxi fuel
The fuel expected to be burnt from engine start to the holding point of the planned departure runway taking into account APU burn
A weather alternate is used when
The weather of operation conditions at the destination indicate that a diversion cannot be ruled out
A company alternate is used when a diversion is
unlikely

RAIM application for GNSS
no RAIM outages within 15 minutes of the ETA
can we only have an RNAV arrival
A non-GNSS based approach must be available at either the destination or the destination alternate on when a destination alternate is required. 8.1.5.1.5
The operator shall only select the destination aerodrome when
The appropriate weather report for a period of one hour before to 1 hour after at the ETA at or above the RVR from 8.1.3: for a non-precision approach or circling the ceiling at or above MDH

for a sidestep approach the parallel runway must not be more than
1200ft to either side of the runway

visual reference for catiii
A segment of at least three consecutive lights
visual reference for catii
A segment of at least three consecutive lights and one lateral element

any element of the approach or lighting system?
if the reported RVR is less than the minima the approach must be
start 1000 foot above the aerodrome. or the FAF, if the DA or MDA is more than 1000 foot above the aero drome
