Performance Handbook Flashcards
No turns shall be commenced below what altitude when the takeoff weather is less than 1000’ ceiling and 3 SM visibility unless a Special Departure Procedure requires a turn earlier?
1000’ AFE
Flap Retraction Altitude (FRA) for all takeoffs unless a Special Departure Procedure prescribes otherwise is what?
1000’ AFE
For a standard engine failure procedure in IMC, if you have an engine failure below 1000’ AFE what should you do?
Climb straight ahead to 1000’ AFE, then commence turn to NAVAID or heading listed on Runway Analysis Page in Release. If NAVAID is listed, hold on inbound radial using direct entry and standard turns. If heading is listed, fly until a minimum safe altitude is attained.
For a standard engine failure procedure in IMC, when may radar vectors be accepted?
After reaching 1000’ AFE.
For a standard engine failure procedure in IMC, what should you do if you have an engine failure above 1000’ AFE?
Turn to NAVAID or heading listed on runway analysis page. Hold on inbound radial to NAVAID. Fly heading until minimum safe altitude is attained. Radar vectors may be accepted when available.
Standard engine failure procedure in VMC below 1000’ AFE
Climb straight ahead to 1000’ AFE. Return to land visually or complete IMC procedure.
Standard Engine Failure Procedure in VMC above 1000’ AFE
Return to land visually or complete IMC procedure.
What is the difference between standard engine failure procedure and Simple-Special?
Simple-Special requires turn to heading or NAVAID before reaching 1000’ AFE.
Simple-Special MFRA
1000’ AFE unless stated otherwise in procedure.
Simple-special procedures are ___ in IMC?
Mandatory
Simple-Special procedures are ___ in VMC
Mandatory until 1000’ AFE.
In IMC, if radar vectors aren’t available, comply with procedure until what altitude?
3000’ AFE. At which time you may proceed on course (as applicable).
If something is listed under “VIA” in Simple-Special Procedure what does this mean?
A turn to the specified heading or course shall be commenced at 50’ AFE or ½ the wingspan, whichever is greater. At heights greater than 50’ AFE or ½ the wingspan, commence turn immediately upon engine failure.
Complex-Special Procedures are ___ under IMC and VMC
Mandatory
Dry Runway
Neither wet nor contaminated
Wet Runway
> 25% of runway covered by any visible dampness or water ≤1/8” (3mm).
Contaminated Runway
> 25% of runway covered by >1/8” (3mm) of standing water or its equivalent in slush, wet snow, dry snow, or ANY depth of ice or compacted snow.
Any depth of ice or compacted snow makes a runway ___.
Contaminated
The Takeoff Report is valid when the actual OAT is no less than POAT by:
10℃
OAT≥POAT-10℃
The Takeoff Report is valid when the actual QNH is no less than ___ below PQNH.
0.1”
QNH≥PQNH-0.1”
When do you add 100 to speeds in Takeoff Report?
When speed is <80
MFPTW
Maximum takeoff weight for the flight plan is valid when considering all planning limits except MRTW.
MRTW for actual conditions can exceed PMRTW, but the final MTOW can never exceed ___.
MFPTW
PMTOW
Lower of MRTW or MFPTW for the planned conditions.
For full power takeoffs, if actual OAT is greater than MT what needs to happen?
A revised TLR is required.
Method 1 ensures net altitude capability between what?
V1 and destination
What is the net altitude capability using Method 1?
Clear all obstructions 5 SM either side of intended route by 1000’ until reaching destination. A/C must also have positive net gradient at 1500’ above destination.
Under optimum conditions the altitude capability of Method 1.
6000’ over most critical obstruction and 6500’ above destination field elevation when operating at enroute climb speed and planned conditions.
M1METW
Max allowable weight at which A/C can takeoff and still comply with Method 1 requirements.
Method 2 requires that,
If an engine failure occurs, the A/C will be able to divert to at least one suitable airport from normal cruise altitude and provide altitude capability.
What are the altitude capability requirements under Method 2?
Clear all obstructions 5 SM either side of route by 2000’ until reaching diversion airport.
Altitude Capability under optimum conditions Method 2
7000’ over most critical obstruction and 6500’ above destination field elevation.
M2METW
Max allowable weight at which A/C can takeoff and comply with Method 2 requirements.
Method 2 Analysis begins at
Cruise altitude
If an engine failure occurs before cruise altitude using Method 2, what does the flight planning system assume?
Either return to departure airport or if T/O alternate was required it provides Method 1 clearance to T/O alternate.
For inflight purposes, a legal suitable airport is one where
A safe landing can be made.
When using method 1 and you have an engine failure below single engine service ceiling what should you do?
Climb at enroute speed with MCT. If able, return to departure airport via planned route. If unable to return to departure airport then determine nearest suitable airport.
If unsure of terrain clearance using method 1, what should you do?
Choose either the takeoff alternate (if applicable) or destination airport for diversion.
While using Method 1, if selected diversion airport is takeoff alternate, how should you proceed to the takeoff alternate?
Proceed back along planned route of flight to the departure airport and then direct to takeoff alternate. If terrain clearance isn’t critical, a more direct route may be flown.
While using Method 1, if selected diversion airport is planned destination, how should you proceed?
Proceed via planned route. If terrain clearance isn’t critical, a more direct route may be flown.
What should you do if altitude is a concern using Method 1?
Climb in holding pattern until reaching highest MEA along route of flight, then accelerate to desired engine inoperative cruise speed.
Using Method 1 if you have an engine failure at or above single engine service ceiling what should you do?
Set max continuous power. Decelerate in level flight to driftdown speed. Descend at driftdown speed. Use APU for pressurization as soon as possible.
Using method 1 at or above single engine service ceiling, if terrain clearance or vectoring altitude is a concern choose which airports as diversion?
Departure, takeoff alternate (if applicable), or destination.
After reaching level off altitude, as fuel is burned off, allow the aircraft to accelerate to
Engine inoperative cruise speed. Or if terrain clearance isn’t critical, descend to lower altitude to obtain single engine inoperative cruise speed sooner.
Typical engine failure procedure
Climb at enroute climb speed with MCT
For diversion airport, either proceed to departure, takeoff alternate, or destination. Use planned route. If using takeoff alternate backtrack along planned route and then direct from departure airport unless terrain isn’t a factor. Climb or descend to single engine altitude and accelerate to Venr.
Landing distance data is based on
Crossing the beginning landing distance at 50’ at specified approach speed with flaps in specified landing configuration.
Distance data for landing includes
Both air and ground distances from a height 50’ and May include other factors
Landing distance is
The horizontal distance necessary to land and come to a complete stop from a point 50’ above landing surface at Vref on a level runway at ISA temperature.
