In order to Dispatch we need

The Visibility
At Destination
At Estimated Time of Arrival
Must be at or above the authorized minimums for the Planned approach
Destination Weather - When Ceiling is Controlling
- Ceiling and visibility required on Approach plates - Jepps
- High Mins Captain Additive - Non Precision Straight In Approach (100 ft and 1/2 mile)
- CRJ200 Flap AD Ceiling requirement for Non-Precision Straight In Approach
- Circling Approach - Published circling MDA or at least 1000ft and 3SM, whichever is greater
Take-off Alternate is required when
The Visibility at the Departing airport is Below the published minimums for the CAT I Approach in use
Circling Approach requires
Published circling MDA or at least 1000ft and 3SM, whichever is greater
You can never derive off a visibility value of less than
1/2 SM
Take Off Minimums
Published in the back of the 10-9 for each runway
Exemption 5549
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
- RVR is below 4000 ft (3/4 SM)
- Crosswind components exceeds 15kts
- Breaking action reported as less than good
*3 strikes and you’re out
High Mins Captain
Are required to increase MDA or DH by 100 ft and 1/2 SM
Landing minimums may not be less than 300ft and 1SM except when exemption 5549 applies.
Cannot land when Braking action reports from Non-PSA Pilots are reported as “Nil”
With a Low Time First Officer a Captain will make all take offs, approaches and landing when
- 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
Stabilized Approach Criteria
- 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
Gust Factors Considerations
Not limiting at destination airport but must be taken into consideration when determining the usability of a runway at an alternate airport
A Destination with only RNAV Approaches
Will require an alternate with a ground based approach to avoid relying only on GPS
CAT II RVR requirements
TDZ RVR - 1200
MID RVR - 600
Rolling RVR - 300
All 3 are controlling if reports are available
Standard Take Off Minimums
1 SM visibility or 5000 RVR for airplanes with two engines
CAT I Approach Equipment Requirements
One Flight Director with Dual Displays or at least One Auto Pilot
*Otherwise limited to 4000 RVR or 3/4 mile Visibility
Marginal Rule
Destination and 1st Alternate are Marginal when
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
A Captain will make all take offs, approaches and landings when
RVR is 1600 or less
Visibility is 1/4 SM or less
When is a Destination Alternate Required?
1hr before and 1hr after the Estimated time of arrival, the ceiling is less than 2000 ft and visibility is less than 3 SM
Take Off Alternate Distance Requirement
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
3585
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.
3585 - Conditions
- 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
Derived Alternate Minima
- One NAVAID: Ceiling required + 400 and Visibility required + 1 SM
- Two NAVAIDS: Ceiling required + 200 and
Visibility required + 1⁄2 SM - Different frequencies and identifier for each NAVAIDS.
- Opposite ends of the same runway may constitute as two
PTOW
BOW + Booked Passengers + Estimated bags and cargo + Fuel requirements
PMRTW
Planned Maximum Allowable Runway Takeoff Weight
MFPTW
Maximum Takeoff Weight for which the flight plan is valid when considering all flight plan limit except MRTW
- Compare to MRTW on short runways because it doesn’t include Max Runway Structural Takeoff Weight as a factor
- Without ACARS cross out last 2 digits
MRTW - Maximum Runway Takeoff Weight
Can exceed PMRTW (Planned Maximum Allowable Runway Takeoff Weight)
MTOW - Maximum Runway Takeoff Weight
Can never Exceed MFPTW (Maximum Flight Plan Takeoff Weight)
A new TLR is required when
QNH is less than .10
Outside Temperature is warmer than the Max Thrust Temperature Listed on the TLR
On the TLR Minimum Landing Distance is
Factored Landing Distance =
Actual Landing Distance + 15% + 500ft
An additional 15% is added for wet runway
OAT - Outside Air Temperature
Actual Temperature of the Air Outside
TAT - Total Air Temperature
Temperature the plane feels as it’s moving through the air considering compression and friction
TAT sensor slows down the air to a stand still to measure its temperature
SAT - Static Air Temperature
The Temperature around the airplane assuming it’s not moving.
On the TLR - Low Visibility Data is provided when visibility is less than
3/4 SM
How much Emergency Fuel do you have?
About 900 lbs
- Projected to land with less than 30min
In the Cruise Control Manual available to dispatch
RVSM Airspace Altitude
FL290 - FL410
Cost Index - CI
Cost of Time / Cost of Fuel
Vmd
Minimum Drag Airspeed - The Airspeed where the airplane will travel forward with the least amount of total drag force produced based on its Angle of Attack
When do you declare minimum Fuel
When you are projected to land with less than 45min of Fuel due to delays and change in flight plan
