PART A Flashcards
planning minima for take off alternate
at or above CAT1
planning minima for destination
weather conditions above the landing minima
Ignore VISIBILITY for PROB/TEMPO/INTER
Visibility: convert to RVR to be above minima table in part A
CLOUD BASE: ILS/not required and NPA required
May use LVO minima but alternate must be CAT1
Planning destination:When can visibility be ignored
PROB/TEMPO/INTER
planning destination: Cloud base
ILS not required
NPA required
Planning destination: LVO when can use
LVO minima may be used as long as alternate above CAT1
Planning: how to get RVR forecast destination
Use VIS convert to RVR part A
Planning alternate: buffer
LVO allowed?
add buffer 1 runway 400ft MDA/1500m VIS
2runway 200ft/800m VIS
CAN NOT USE LVO minima
planning alternate: Cloud base
must consider
planning alternate: LOC approach can only be considered as NPA under what two conditions
airport has 2 runways
LOC is backed up by another NPA
Planning alternate: PROB/TEMP/INTER what can be ignored
Everything can be ignored as long as actual conditions are above landing minima
planning alternate: When will same airport have two sets of minima in flight plan
When opposite direction of runway minima have large differences
Planning alternate: Island reserve conditions
destination 1hour and 45 minutes with no other airport
forecast condition covers 30min before and 2 hours after arrival
Alternate and Reserve: both add up to 2 hour holding
Planning Enroute alternate: why nominate
in use for EO escape route and depressurization.
mandatory fuel will be added on
check against forecast weather condition
planning: how far from an adequate airport must you be at all times.
60 minutes or 424nm a320 or 404nmA321
What kind of freezing condition may we depart or arrive
light freezing drizzle or rain
Limitation on departure freezing
judged by pilot observation: ATIS or METAR or Visual
moderate to heavy: freezing drizzle or rain
Hail GS
ice pellets +PL
PL with other precipitation
Limitation on arrival freezing
moderate to heavy freezing precipitation
Destination weather below minima or moderate to heavy icing precipitation
2 sets of alternate required
one must be on CFP
ATS flight plan
Reserve fuel
30 minutes holding at 1500ft above alternate
Min
1200kg A320
1500kg A321
Minimum contingency
5% or 130kg
Contingency, recommended extra, mandatory fuel total min
600kg A320
800kg A321
recommended extra+alternate+mandatory = Reserve why?
ensure one hours worth of fuel at destination
depressurization fuel planning
shown on CFP if there is a CP to airport
must check weather of that airport as alternate
carry on to diversion airport
