Question 8

Performance data is valid for what range of temperatures on the release?

Answer 8

You’ll need a new one If actual OAT is less than 10 degrees of POAT, or if the actual outside air is greater than MT (flex temp).

Question 9

Performance data is valid for what range of QNH values?

Answer 9

up to .10 lower

Question 10

If your takeoff weight exceeds the weight listed under the “PTOW PLUS 1000” column, what would you do?

Answer 10

contact dispatch for release revision

Answer 12

Yes if ACARs or flightview says so

Question 13

If the flex N1 value on the EICAS is less than the calculated release value, what would you do?

Answer 13

okay if N1 value is within -.1 or +.5

Can reduce if necessary but not more than MT
