Regulations Flashcards
What is 3585
Allows dispatch of airplane under IFR to a destination when the weather forecast indicates by the use of conditional remarks such as BECMG, PROB40, andTEMPO, that the weather could be below authorized weather minimums
Derived alternate minimums
1 approach add 400’ and 1 mile
2 approach add 200’ and 1/2 mile
Fuel required for dispatch under 3585
Fly to the most distant alternate and fly thereafter for 45 minutes
3 Scenarios that require a 2nd alternate
- When destination visibility due to conditional statements in remarks are 1/2 the required visibility
- If 1st alternate ceiling and vis don’t meet derived alternate minimums
- Marginal weather, destination is at or near minimums at ETA and the 1st alternate is at or near derived mins

PSA Ops Specs. (500/500/500 with HIRL and
CL on.)

take you more than 50NM away from
land
Fuel

Can we accept a PDC that has … or ***?
No No! Per PDC training handout
Climb Gradients (not in the books but your expected to know it)
Assuming a critical engine fails at V1: 1st Segment – Lift off to Gear up 2nd Segment – Gear up to 1st level off (1000ft AFE); climb gradient 2.4% most restrictive gradient 3rd Segment – 1st level off to Flaps up; climb gradient 1.2% 4th Segment – Flaps up to 1st power reduction; climb gradient 1.2%
Fuel Flow Correction
If a CDL/MEL contains a fuel flow
correction, then……
You must manually input that
correction into the FMS
Reject a T/O after 80Kts only for the
following:
- Fire
- Engine Failure
- Loss of directional control
- Aircraft unable/unsafe to fly
Marginal Rule FOM 10.5.5
When do you need a second
alternate?
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.
What do these speeds mean
Vr, V2, Vt
Vr - The speed that will allow the airplane to reach v2 by 35ft at the departure end
V2 - Speed that meets the 2nd climb segment (most restrictive of 2.4%)
Vt - Speed that will meet the remaining climb gradients of 1.2%
When are destination and first alternate considered
Marginal?
Destination Ceiling = Mins for HAT
Visibility = Mins for visibility
Alternate Ceiling = Derived Mins for HAT
Visibility = Drived Mins for Visibility
What are conditions for 3585?
What must the main body of the forecast be?
Destination
At or above 1/2 of landing
minimums (Visibility only)
Main body - at or above mins
1st Alternate
At or above 1/2 derived Alternate
Minimums (Visibility and Ceiling) Main body - at or above derived alternate mins
2nd Alternate
At or above derived alternate
Minimums (Visibility and Ceiling) Main body - at or above derived alt mins
What restrictions apply to 3585?
- Must have a 2nd alternate
- Low time Captain can not accept
- Dispatcher and Captain shall ensure most relevant weather for the flight are used
