A
  • Only if relevant, i.e.;
    • Less than 60 knots expected after an RTO at V1 in the takeoff case (ADS< 2/3 TODT to be certain.)
    • Less than 60 knots in the Landing Roll (LDR Vs LDA should give you an indication of this.)
248
Q

Do you need RVRs for takeoff in LVPs?

or, is met VIS OK?

A
  • Yes, you need RVRs in the LVO takeoff case.
  • RVR derived from a conversion from Met VIS is only allowed for LANDING & if the RVR required is >800m.
249
Q

When do LVPs come into force?

A
  • RVR < 600m
  • Ceiling < 200 feet
250
Q

How many Infants may be carried onboard?

A
  • 2 per accompanying adult.
251
Q

Circling Approach.

When must you disconnect the AP?

A
  • 100 feet below the MDA.
252
Q

The Dispatcher informs you that

Human Remains are being carried.

Can you Carry them?

What about Ashes?

A
  • No.
  • Unless Ashes:
    • Suitable Container
    • Death Certificate
    • Cremation Certificate
    • Hand Luggage Only.
253
Q

What are the criteria for carrying

Musical Instruments?

& Specifically Cellos?

A
  • Small musical instruments should be stowed in the overhead locker.
  • Where not practical to combine musical instrument with another item of hand luggage, one small extra item allowed.
  • Larger Instruments eg Cellos:
    • Seat to be purchased
    • Window Seat
    • Not a restricted Seat
    • Centre of mass < 30 cm above top of seat cushion.
    • Standard weight 10 kg (subject to local assessment.)
254
Q

A passenger arrives on a stretcher,

can we carry him?

255
Q

When do we not need a destination alternate?

A
  • Flight time 2000ft
    *5km

* Ceiling + 500ft

256
Q

When do we require two destination alternates?

A
  • When no WX information for dest available
  • When WX below planning minima
  • Landing performance requirements can not be assured at destination due dependence on specific wind component or runway state.
257
Q

What WX must you take into account with regards to ceiling / RVR vs approach types?

A

RVR should be taken into account.

If non precision and circling, ceiling should also be taken into account.

258
Q

When planning for an alternate, the TAF indicates in a prob/temp that the weather will be below limits.

Can this alternate be used?

A

YES as a PROB TEMPO may be disregarded.

259
Q

When planning for an alternate, the TAF indicates in a TEMPO / PROB30/40 (both alone) that the weather will be below limits.

Can this alternate be used?

A

If transient / showery then it can be disregarded.

If it is persistent (e.g fog) then needs to be considered. Mean wind should be within limits but gusts can be disregarded

260
Q

What is the planning minima for a take off alternate?

A
  • Minimum for expected instrument approach
  • Taking into account OEI & MEL items
  • Within 1 hour flight time OEI (max 320)
  • Increased landing minima if OVW
261
Q

Alternate distances:

A

T/O Alt: 320
319 Dest: 380

320 Dest: 400

262
Q

What is the planning minima for a destination alternate if only a non precision approach is available?

A

MDA+ 200 / RVR + 1000

263
Q

What is the planning minima for a destination alternate if Cat 2 approach available?

264
Q

What is the planning minima for a destination alternate if only a circling approach is available?

A

Circling Minima

265
Q

How long is a temp forecast expected to last for?

A
  • Less than an hour
  • If in aggregate, less than half the total period
266
Q

What is FINAL RESERVE?

A
  • Fuel to fly for 30 minutes at holding speed
  • 1500ft overheard alternate
  • ISA conditions. Weight expected at ALT
267
Q

If planning to tanker maximum fuel, what are the maximum landing weight considerations?

A

MLW - 1% / MTOW - 1%

TANKER fuel accounts for certified max weights but CANNOT allow for T/O / LDG weight limitations due to runway / climb performance requirements.

268
Q

When can you NOT tanker fuel?

A
  • Contaminated / slippery runways
  • Performance limited runways
269
Q

For fuel planning purposes, what is associated fuel usage with EAI + WAI in climb / cruise & hold

A

CLIMB:
EAI: 1.1kg EAI + WAI = 2

Cruise:
EAI: 1 EAI + WAI 2

Hold:
EAI: 2 EAI + WAI: 3

270
Q

What is contingency fuel:

A

Fuel to cover for unforeseen circumstances. Can be burnt after push back / engine start.

  • 5% of panned trip (or remaining trip if re=plan)
  • 5 mins holding, 1500ft, ISA, Dest Aerodrome

When STAT figures available, contingency will be the greater of STAT95 / STAT99 (select pairs) or 5 minutes.
