29
Q

Exemption 5549

A

With CAT II training, High Mins captain can shoot CAT I approaches to published Mins with auto pilot coupled to DH or Missed Approach

Approach will not be initiated when

  1. RVR is below 4000 ft (3/4 SM)
  2. Crosswind components exceeds 15kts
  3. Breaking action reported as less than good

*3 strikes and you’re out

30

Cannot land when Braking action reports from Non-PSA Pilots are reported as “Nil”

31
Q

With a Low Time First Officer a Captain will make all take offs, approaches and landing when

A
  • Runway is contaminated
  • RVR is 4000 or less
  • Braking action is less than good
  • Crosswind is greater than 15kts
  • Visibility is 3/4 mile or less
  • Operating at Special Qualification Airport
  • Windshear in the vicinity of the Airport
  • Other circumstances determined by the Captain
32
Q

Stabilized Approach Criteria

A
  • Transitioning to a 1000 fpm descent rate by 1000ft AFE
  • On proper flight path with only small changes in pitch and heading to maintain that path
  • Speed no less than Vref and not greater than Vref+10 with engines spooled up
  • In Trim
  • In approved landing configuration
33
Q

Gust Factors Considerations

A

Not limiting at destination airport but must be taken into consideration when determining the usability of a runway at an alternate airport

34
Q

A Destination with only RNAV Approaches

A

Will require an alternate with a ground based approach to avoid relying only on GPS

35
Q

CAT II RVR requirements

A

TDZ RVR - 1200
MID RVR - 600
Rolling RVR - 300

All 3 are controlling if reports are available

36
Q

Standard Take Off Minimums

A

1 SM visibility or 5000 RVR for airplanes with two engines

37
Q

CAT I Approach Equipment Requirements

A

One Flight Director with Dual Displays or at least One Auto Pilot

*Otherwise limited to 4000 RVR or 3/4 mile Visibility

38
Q

Marginal Rule

Destination and 1st Alternate are Marginal when

A

Destination - Ceiling or Visibility are equal to the required minimums

1st Alternate - Ceiling or Visibility are equal to derived minimums

*A 2nd Alternate is required with Ceiling and visibility at or above derived alternate minimums

39
Q

A Captain will make all take offs, approaches and landings when

A

RVR is 1600 or less

Visibility is 1/4 SM or less

40
Q

When is a Destination Alternate Required?

A

1hr before and 1hr after the Estimated time of arrival, the ceiling is less than 2000 ft and visibility is less than 3 SM

41
Q

Take Off Alternate Distance Requirement

A

The Take Off alternate must be within 1hr from the departure airport based on normal cruise in still air with one engine inoperative

  • Within 300NM
42
Q

3585

A

When the Destination and alternate airport METAR or TAF have conditional statements such as BCMG, TEMPO, PROB040, that the weather could go below authorized Landing minimums at ETA, as long as the main body of the METAR or TAF is at or above authorized Minimums at the ETA, PSA can dispatch with a 2nd Alternate.

43
Q

3585 - Conditions

A
  • The Destination - Visibility must not be less than 1⁄2 of that required to fly the expected instrument approach procedure
  • The 1st Alternate - Visibility and ceiling must not be less than 1⁄2 of the Derived Alternate minimums
  • The 2nd Alternate - visibility and ceiling must be at or above the Derived Alternate minimums
44
Q

Derived Alternate Minima

A
  • One NAVAID: Ceiling required + 400 and Visibility required + 1 SM
  • Two NAVAIDS: Ceiling required + 200 and
    Visibility required + 1⁄2 SM
