SAMRA (Flight Planning) Flashcards
How long does a SIGMET last?
4 hours
As you climb what do you have to do to maintain track?
Crab to right (winds veer and increase)
Can you file consecutive flight plans between Canada and the US?
Yes, within a 24hr period, and wit only one US departure then the rest to be in Canada
Composite flight plan:
- Cannot use if flying to or from the US
- Must obtain IFR or ensure VFR weather
- Indicate change point in flight plan
- I = IFR, V = VFR, Y = IFR to VFR, Z = VFR to IFR
part IFR and part VFR
Intermediate stops:
- Can only be filed on an itinerary if the stop is in controlled airspace
- Repeat name of stopping point and duration (CYQS 0045 CYQS)
- Estimated enroute time includes intermediate stops
- SAR given 24hrs after final ETA
Aircraft operating in Gander Oceanic shall use ____ format and report routine meteorology observations at each designated reporting point
AIREP!
What is an AIREP?
Aircraft report
A tailwind will ___ the distance to the PNR, and a _____ will the distance to the PNR
Point of No Return
Tailwind will increase distance to the PNR (give you more leeway TO the PNR)
Headwind will decrease the distance to the PNR (give you more work TO the PNR)
Calm winds will equalize the distance between
*If exam question states a one-engine performance, use those times for the formula!
PNR formula:
Remember if you are given a single-engine performance, use those groundspeeds instead.
To calculate time to critical point, use all-engine performance (groundspeed with PNR distance)
NRP:
North American Route Program
Harmonize and adopt common procedures applicable to random route flight operations at and above FL290
State approval of unrestricted operations in the NAT HLA may be granted to an aircraft with:
ONE IRS
ONE GNSS IFR approved
2 long range NAV equipment
If you are flying to a destination where only GNSS approaches exist and also for your alternate, are you allowed to do this?
Yes.
Separated by a minimum of:
1. 75NM if north of 56 latitude in Quebec or Labrador
2. 100NM everywhere else (JUST KNOW THIS FOR EXAM)
When calculating alternate minima with GNSS, what minima can you take from the CAP?
ONLY LNAV MINIMA!!!
When will a WAAAS NOTAM be published?
If 2 outages are of less than 15mins each are predicted, and SEPERATED by a period of LESS THAN 15mins during which the service is available,, a NOTAM will cover the entire period.
If using WAAS and you knew that WAAS wasn’t going to be available at destination, but once you get there it is available, can you continue the approach?
YES if you so choose.
If you get there and its not, you may continue on an LNAV approach or do a LOC, ILS, etc.
