Q

Crews should be prepared for temporary communications black out once north of 82 N, but if com is lost how do we communicate

A

Air to air 121.5 or 123.45

Maintain route and altitude according to last received and acknowledged

If a contingency procedure is required, proceed according to ATC clearance not available

18
Q

Transiting the Reykjavik or Bodo FIR’s will require a North Altlanic oceanic clearance. What notice do you have to give?

A

from Edmonton 45-15 min prior to entry

from Murmansk 30-15 min

(see Ref notes on Jepp)

19
Q

What is the annomoly with Russian Airspace

A

clearance from North Atlantic FIR will include the Russian oceanic clearance,

BUT a Clearance obtained form Russian FIR will not include north Atlantic clearance

20
Q

If you had a mix of Jet A and Jet A1 with a fuel freeze of -43 deg could you reset the annunciation temp from -37?

A

No not until cruise.

21
Q

Where can we get a list of ETOPS Alternates

A

Jepessen Airway Manual
AC tabs
ETOPS Adequate airports

22
Q

Murmansk Oceanic (russia) require HF position reports what is the call

A

“Murmansk Oceanic, Air Canada 061, position DEMAK at 1138Z, next position ANODI at 1325Z then MARUL”

23
Q

Oceanic/Remote Procedures table on QRHN will still be used but what is the difference

A

the order
ETOPS is entered before oceanic at Reykjavik
ETOPS will be Exited after exiting the oceanic airspace

24
Q

When is SLOP used?

A

Rejkjavik not in russia

FOM 9.1.13

25
Q

If Greenland is used for a diversion, what considerations should be made

A

Escape Route Charts

26
Q

What is the scale for R values

S values

G values

A

Radio blackout scale

Solar radiation storm scale

Geomagnetic storm scale

1-5
1 minor
5 severe

27
Q

Where can you find procedures for low fuel temps

A

AOM 1.04.09P5 for low fuel temp procedures.

28
Q

What level forecasted or actual solar storm would require a change

A

I

29
Q

What forecast or actual radio blackout level would require a flight plan change

A

Any forecast (at or above 51%) or actual RADIO BLACKOUT level 2 or higher will require the flight to beplanned south of 78N or via ORVIT, PILUN unless communications can be confirmed prior to departure.

30
Q

How is a diversion different in Russian airspace

A

IN RUSSIAN RVSM AIRSPACE
and unable timely communications with ATC, the aircraft should leave its assigned route or track by initiallyturning 30° (normally to the right) and offset from the assigned route by 16.2 NM (30 KM), then climb or
descend to the new level and then return to the original track (when appropriate)
