SOPM Flashcards
When the PDC says climb via SID and the SIDs top altitude is FL230 but your filed altitude is 17,000 – what altitude do you set in the altitude alerter?
17,000 is the clearance limit.
What does the SOPM require crews do prior to the departure briefing with regard to the flight plan/FMS?
Both pilots visually cross-check the flight plan by sequencing through each waypoint on the MFD PLAN PAGE. Simultaneously both pilot verify waypoint names, sequence, speed restrictions, crossing altitudes and appropriate discontinuities through the TOD.
Is it acceptable to accomplish the above individually?
No it must be accomplished simultaneously - keeps both pilots accountable and confirms compliance with SOPM.
I wonder if this will be a point of emphasis on your CQ LOE.
Yes, definitely, along with checklist discipline, including starting over when a checklist is interrupted.
Does a checklist need to be started over from the beginning when interrupted?
Yes
What altitude above touchdown-zone requires the AC to be in final landing configuration with the BEFORE LANDING CHECKLIST COMPLETE, within +15 and -5 of Vap, as well as on lateral and vertical profiles?
1,000’ HAT
Considering the above question, isn’t okay to continue as long as everything is done and stable by 500’ HAT?
No, the PM will direct a go around if any of the planned parameters are not met by announcing “UNSTABLE, GO-AROUND”.
Review of 10-7 charts for safety alerts is an optional part of approach planning.
No, include in the WANT briefing a mitigation strategy for threats contributing to a high energy descent and /or unstable approach. SOPM Stabilized approach criteria.
