For PC-12s, 50% of the recommended visibility is the minimum visibility to conduct a NON-PRECISION approach. See CAP GEN.

For PC-12s, 50% of the recommended visibility is the minimum visibility to conduct a PRECISION approach, given the runway has centreline lighting, and a PMA must be carried out.

32
Q

What specific instruction from the SOP is to be set up prior to departure regarding radio/EFIS set up?

A

Emergency return approach navigation aids are to be turned and bugged on at least the captain’s side VOR/LOC.

33
Q

During an engine start (GPU or Battery), what is a keynote to aboard a shut down?

A

According to SOPs, any time the EIS begins to blink, the start should be aborted immediately.

34
Q

What should the GPU be rated at for an engine start?

A

Stabilized between 27 and 30 VDC and 1000 amps.

35
Q

What is the difference between starting the engine in the summer vs the winter?

A

In summer, you advance to GI when Ng is stabilized over 13% Ng.

In winter, you advance to I when approaching 13% Ng (whenever oil temperature is below +5 degrees)

36
Q

According to our SOPs, what temperature shall you wait to see before switching on avionics?

A

To prevent damage to the AHRS and EFIS, temperature must be above 15 degrees on the floor temperature.

37
Q

What is to be kept in mind when doing quick turns on the summer?

A

You shall delay the advancement of GI until ITT has dropped below 200 ITT.

This facilitates cooler starts and less wear.

38
Q

What speed are we limited ot taxiing?

A

10kts read out on EFIS screen.

39
Q

Recommended initial climb speed and enroute climb speed:

A

120kts and 140kts.

40
Q

In what order is a 30 flap takeoff conducted?

A

Speed through 90kts, flaps 15, then retract gear. The its flaps 0 after you’ve accelerated over 100kts.

41
Q

At what altitude may you engage autopilot?

A

At least 1000’ AGL

42
Q

At the FAF, FAWP, 1000’ AAE, where the FAF is less than 1000’ AAE, or when conducting a visual approach, the aircraft shall be configured as such:

A
  • Landing gear extended
  • Lateral path correct
  • Vertical path correct
  • Airspeed trending towards approach speed
  • Descent rate no greater than 1000FPM
  • Approach brief complete
43
Q

At 500’ above DA or MDA or at 500’ AAE if no FAF/FAWP or when conducting a visual approach, the aircraft shall be configured as such:

A
  • Landing flaps selected
  • Lateral path correct
  • Vertical path correct
  • Airspeed stabilized at approach speed
  • Normal descent rate 500/800FPM
  • Power is stabilized
44
Q

At the beginning of a descent in uncontrolled airspace, how shall you set the altitude pre-selector:

A
  1. 100NM safe altitude
  2. MSA or IAP altitude (whichever is higher)
45
Q

When should an IFR approach brief be conducted?

A

When the ceiling is reported to be less than the relevant MSA, or when the visibility is less than 3 SM.

46
Q

As per our SOPs how do we compensate for additional height loss during a go-around?

A

50ft should be added to the MDA on all SCDA approaches.

Imperative to add this value if there happen to be a failure of a system, aircraft is above “normal” max landing weight, weight limits the go-around performance, etc.

47
Q

When are PMAs conducted?

A

Any time the reported visibility is 50% of the recommended visibility.

48
Q

On what basis does a PMA work?

A

Left seat pilot is PM, right seat is PF.

Left seat pilot monitors the performance of the right seat pilot throughout the descent and approach.

Once left seat pilot makes visual contact, left seat takes control and lands the aircraft.

49
Q

During a planned PMA, when is control delegated to the FO?

A

Upon reaching 40NM from destination or at commencement of approach at the latest.

50
Q

How are holds completed as per SOPs?

A

150kts clean.

51
Q

During a missed approach on a PMA, who initiates/has control of the go-around?

A

The PF.

52
Q

When hitting the GA button, what does it pitch up to?

A

8 degrees nose up.

53
Q

What are standard missed approach calls?

A

PM: “No contact, missed approach”
PF selects GA and max power

PM: Positive rate
PF: ‘Gear up’

PM activates missed approach procedure on GPS
PM: “Above 400ft, good speed” (>100kts)
PF: ‘Flaps 0’

PM: “Speed checks, flaps running, NAV available”

PM: “1000ft”
PF: ‘Set climb power, yaw damp, after takeoff checks’

PM: “Power is set, yaw damp on, power is yours”
PF: ‘Check power is mine’

54
Q

When landing in gusty conditons what is the rule of thumb regarding an approach speed?

A

Add 1/2 the gust factor to your ref speed.

55
Q

What instance would you need to contact your OPS manager for approval regarding a suitable runway?

A

A departure or landing at an airport with a CRFI of 0.20 or less you’d need prior permission.

56
Q

What is the lowest you can be to call for flaps 30?

A

300ft AGL.

57
Q

For gravel operations, what are things to remember for the approach and landing?

A
  • Flaps as required but preferably not more than 30 degrees to prevent gravel from damaging flaps
  • Select ground idle immediately after landing
  • Keep the use of beta and reverse to a minimum
  • Keep the aircraft in continuous motion until shutdown
  • Make more of an effort to park into the wind
58
Q

For gravel operations, what are things to remember for start, taxi and takeoff?

A
  • Ensure surface beneath and 2ft forward to the right is clear of rocks and debris
  • After engine start, complete taxi and lineups before taxiing
  • Complete pusher test during taxi
  • When backtracking with a tailwind, slightly increase taxi speed to prevent prop damage
  • Turnaround to the left (easier to turn this way)
  • Soft-field technique to be only used in extreme cases. This does not guarantee directional control.
  • No downwind takeoffs
59
Q

A

If medevac, pilot shall ask medics if it is suitable while a patient is onboard.

  • Flight crew in a position for quick access to initiate an emergency exit
  • All exits clear of obstructions
  • No electrical power being supplied
  • No smoking
