FO: update on current situation while working divert options. GOC/ATC for updates, review information with wx, RW and wind limits

29
Q

Report news

A

Personnel: Establish rapport, safe (threats (PET)), legal, efficient.
Admin: weather, notams, clearance, routing, fuel, mx status
Taxi: brief taxi route and hotspots
Emergencies: Takeoff emergencies
SID: brief the SID

41
Q

If cleared visual approach are you allowed to descend below floor of class B

A

No, all published approaches will keep you within class B
