RVSM & RNP

Question 1

In Australia, what flight levels have RVSM

Answer 1

Between FL 290 & FL 410

Question 2

Is the standby altimeter suitable for RVSM

Answer 2

The​ Standby​ Altimeter​ is​ not​ compliant​ with​ RVSM​ requirements

Question 3

If your Altitude Alert System fails while in RVSM airspace , what must you advise to ATC? And can you continue to operate in the airspace

Answer 3

You must advise ATC : Negative RVSM

You may continue to operate in the airspace

Question 4

Upon capturing altitude in RVSM airspace , what is the ROC/ ROD Limits

Answer 4

< 1500 Fpm when within 1000 ft of cleared flight level

Question 5

Once at altitude what is the max discrepancy between altimeters

Answer 5

Cross-check between the primary​ altitude on​ the PFD’s does​ ​not​ agree within approx​ 200 ft,​

Question 6

When must you report a deviation in RVSM via AIRS

Answer 6

Deviations of 300 ft or more to be reported

Question 7

While in RVSM airspace, what do you do if altimeters diverge more than 200ft.

Answer 7

Attempt to determine the defective system through troubleshooting procedures, If the defective system can be determined couple the autopilot to the functioning altimetry system, If the defective system cannot be determined proceed as per “ Failure of all primary altimeter system “

Question 8

Where is RNP 2 airspace?

Answer 8

Continental routes RNP 2

Question 9

Where is RNP 1 required

Answer 9

Terminal Routes (SID/STAR) RNP 1
Terminal area within 30 nms from dep or dest

Question 10

Where is RNP 0.3 required

Answer 10

Approach < 15 Nms from destination RNP 0.3

Question 11

What are your actions if we lose one GNSS? How about 2

Answer 11

Use non affected side AP, affected side FCC source select ALTN.
If both fail then FMS NAV SOURCE WILL BE RADIO.

Question 12

How do are alternate requirements Chang if we have one GNSS out of service

Answer 12

Alternate is required if the dest does not have a VOR or NDB

Question 13

What does map shift mean , when may it occur

Answer 13

When switching to 
RADIO after some time in 
GNSS mode, there may 
be a position shift visible
in the MAP mode

Question 14

Does the FMS show if you are in GNSS mode and if so, how is it displayed

Answer 14

➢Mode of operation is FMC1(2):GNSS1(2)
➢FMS is now operative in the Inertial-Only (I) navigation mode
➢(IRS ONLY message displayed twice per flight

Question 15

What is the TSO certification of the F100 GNSS

Answer 15

The Fokker 100 GNSS Navigation System is certified to
TSO-C145a (integrated) which is under the same class
as TSO-C146a(stand alone) for NAIPS RAIM purposes

Question 16

What RNP is required for En- route navigation

Answer 16

RNP 2

Question 17

When will the F100 GNSS automatically switch to RNP Approach (RNP 0.3)

Answer 17

<15 NM from destination RNP 0.3

Question 18

Will the F100 GNSS carry out an automatic RAIM prediction

Answer 18

The system will carry out P-RAIM checks during flight to predict
RAIM availability during approach phase

Question 19

Can a RAIM prediction be manually obtained? Any conditions

Answer 19

Yes during pre flight planning. By pressing the 0.3 button within 60nms of destination

Question 20

What are the minimum satellites needed for FD and FDE

Answer 20

FD uses minimum 5 satellites

FDE use minimum 6 satellites

Question 21

How is a RAIM warning presented

Answer 21

RAIM LOSS- “NO APPR RAIM”

RAIM WARNING - “ NO RAIM”

Question 22

Can you continue an approach with a RAIM WARNING

Answer 22

No , Go Around must be performed

Question 23

On descent you get NO RAIM PRED message note GIC- NSD, IF YOU GOT A RAIM prediction from air services may you continue to do the RNP approach

Answer 23

Verify RAIM availability by alternate means” implies checking RAIM via
NAIPS to see if there may be any RAIM holes.
▪Even if a NAIPS RAIM hole exists at planned ETA you may continue
until you get a RAIM warning or loss such as “NO RAIM” or “NO
APPROACH RAIM”
▪QRH remark seems to refer to other failures and is not really relevant to
the NO RAIM PRED message
