300m -rwy edge lighting (spacing not more than 60m) AND rwy centreline lighting
Low vis take-offs are permitted?
Only at aerodromes listed in the VARA FOPPM, or any other company approved source such as FON
The PF during conduct of low vis take-off….?
Must be the Captain, AND
Have at least 100hrs PIC on aircraft type

- Valid TAF not available for departure aerodrome
- Other reasons where departure aerodrome not available for landing
When are two destination alternates required?
- wx forecast for destination below landing minima during specified ETU (ETA +-30min)
- wx forecast for destination not available or does not completely encompass the ETU (ETA +-30min)
(wx below landing min-consult with ops prior to departure!)
What must the forecast be at the departure Alternate aerodrome?
Above the applicable landing minima for the most suitable instrument approach for the period defined in the ETU (ETA+-30min)
If two alternates are required, when can they be reduced to one?
if the wx at one of the alternates >DEST minima from the CAT C table

unless a different time is indicated
Resets:
After pulling a circuit breaker, how long do you wait?
5 sec
unless a different time is indicated
After resetting (back to ON) a normal cockpit control or circuit breaker, how long do you wait until the end of the reset?
3 sec
When can the flight crew attempt a system reset inflight?
only when:
-ECAM / OEB / FCOM / QRH requests a reset, or
-The system reset table permits
Must both the PF and PM crosscheck the CB’s before taking any action?
