RTP Questions Flashcards
What is the required validity period that a weather forecast must cover for destination and alternate aerodromes?
Not less than 30 minutes before and 60 minutes after the planned ETA.
What is the time window allowed to remain compliant with an allocated COBT?
Arrivals SYD, BNE, MEL, PER -5min to +15 min
Departure Per -5min to +10min
When ATC allocates a waypoint crossing time, what time must the aircraft arrive at that waypoint?
On time or up to 30 seconds early.
What is the minimum obstacle clearance required when circling in a Cat C aircraft?
400FT
What is the maximum speed allowed for circling in a Cat C aircraft?
180Kts
What is the maximum speed allowed for a missed approach?
240Kts
What is the range of final approach speeds for a Cat C aircraft?
115- 160Kts
What is the circling radius to be used for a Cat C aircraft?
Pans Ops 4.2nm
Old TERPS 1.7nm
New TERPS 2.7nm
What are the requirements for conducting a visual approach?
By Day.
Within 30NM of that aerodrome at an altitude not below the LSALT/MSA for the route segment, the appropriate step of the DME or GNSS Arrival Procedure, or the MDA for the procedure being flown, the aircraft is established:
Clear of cloud
In sight of ground or water
With a flight visibility not less than 5,000M or, in the case of a helicopter, is able to proceed under helicopter VMC, or the aerodrome is in sight, and subsequently can maintain above at an altitude not less than the minimum prescribed for VFR flight to within the circling area.
What are the requirements for conducting a visual approach? By Night
At an altitude not below the LSALT/MSA for the route segment, the appropriate step of the DME or GNSS Arrival Procedure, or the MDA for the procedure being flown, the aircraft is established:
Clear of cloud
In sight of ground or water
With a flight visibility not less than 5,000M, and
Within the circling area or
Within 5NM (7NM for a runway equipped with an ILS) of that aerodrome aligned with the runway centre line and established not below “on slope” on the T-VASIS or PAPI, or
Within 10NM (14NM for Runways 16L and 34L at Sydney) of that aerodrome, established not below the ILS glide path with less than full scale azimuth deflection.
What is the maximum allowable in-flight difference between Captain and First Officer altitude displays for RVSM operations?
200 feet
Do Standby altimeters meet the accuracy requirements for RVSM airspace?
No
What is the Altimeter tolerance for IFR flight?
With an accurate QNH set, the altimeter(s) should read the nominated elevation to within 60FT. If an altimeter has an error in excess of ± 75FT, the altimeter must be considered unserviceable. When two altimeters are required for the category of operation, one of the altimeters must read the nominated elevation to within 60FT. When the remaining altimeter has an error between 60FT and 75FT, flight under the IFR to the first point of landing, where the accuracy of the altimeter can be re-checked, is approved. In the event that the altimeter shows an error in excess of 60FT on the second check, the altimeter must be considered unserviceable for flight under the IFR.
What are the maximum allowable on-the-ground altitude display differences for RVSM in the Classic?
Sea Level - 40Feet
5000 feet - 45 feet
10000 feet - 50 feet
What are the maximum allowable on-the-ground altitude display differences for RVSM in the NG?
Sea Level - 5000 feet - 50 feet
5000 feet to 10000 feet 60 feet
