SOP Flashcards
Define Wet Runway.
A runway is considered as wet when there is sufficient moisture on the runway surface to cause it to appear reflective, but without significant areas of standing water.
Define “land immediately at the nearest suitable airport”.
Land at the nearest suitable airport, in point of time, that offers sufficient runway landing distance available and if required, emergency services to support the emergency or abnormality.
Define sterile flight deck policy.
