crewmember; or

  • The PIC has qualified by using pictorial means; or
  • The ceiling at that airport is at least 1,000’ above the lowest MEA or MOCA, initial approach altitude

prescribed for the instrument approach procedure for that airport, and the visibility at that airport is at least three (3) miles.

You must manually input that correction into the FMS.

45
Q

Legal Dispatch FAR 121.613

If any combination of weather reports and forecasts shows that you can land at your destination, then…..

A

You can be legally dispatched. However, it may not be smart to go.

Example:

CLT to FAY depart 0300Z arrive 0330Z

METAR: 0250Z CALM 1/8SM FG VV001 - It’s stupid to depart

TAF: 0300Z 010@5 3SM - It’s legal to depart

Note: if you are within an hour of the destination, the metar would be controlling

46
Q

1, 2, 3 Rule

A
  1. 1hr before and 1 hr after ETA
  2. ceiling must be 2000ft
  3. visibility must be 3SM

If not, then you need an alternate

47
Q

Derived Minimums FOM 10.5.4 and FAR 121.652

A

Add minimums to highest HAT and Vis of the approaches you’re using.

If airport has 1 operational navaid with approach: add 400/1

If airport has 2+ operational navaids with approaches: add 200/ ½

  1. Think Airport not runway
  2. How many navaids and runways?
  3. Look at weather to determine suitable runways at ETA
  4. Dispatch will use lowest minimums to get you in, make sure they don’t screw you with an unusable runway You can ignore one navaid if you like and just use 400/1.
    * Wind gusts are limiting when selecting an alternate!*
48
Q

Reject a T/O after 80Kts only for the following:

A
  1. Fire
  2. Engine Failure
  3. Loss of directional control
  4. Aircraft unable/unsafe to fly
49
Q

T/O Alternate FOM 10.5.2 and FAR 121.617

Requirements?

A
  • Needed when approach mims are below the lowest mims for all suitable runways
  • Within 1 hour at normal cruise, in still air with single engine
  • For both CRJ’s will not be more than 300nm
  • Your T/O alternate must meet derived minimums!!!

Ex: OAJ to CLT, CLT is T/O alt; CLT has to meet derived minimums.

OAJ to CLT, GSP is T/O alt; GSP does not have to meet derived . minimums.

50
Q

T/O Alternate FOM 10.5.2 and FAR 121.617

Minimum fuel for CRJ200?

A

4600lbs Because

takeoff alternate requirements of AD 2007-17-07. It only applies to the CRJ 200.

51
Q

Marginal Rule FOM 10.5.5

When do you need a second alternate?

A

When ceiling OR visibility at destination are at minimums for the approach expected AND ceiling OR visibility at alternate are at derived minimums.

So long as one of these is at minimums from both the destination and alternate, then a second alternate is required.

52
Q

The Final Report with armed individuals

Comes from CS agent to FA (or FWD FA) to pilot. How do you identify the types of people?

A

SFE1 – FAM (team leader will be circled)

FAM’s will have no names
