Can you overflight a thunderstorm ?
Yes, only when 5000 ft clearance abv storm top is ensure
How to navigate if area contain 6/10 thunderstorm coverage ?
Do circumnavigate
If thunderstorm penentration is unavoidable, what caution must be taken ?
- Must avoid echo with hooked, figer-like or scalloped shape
- Determine the least precipitation area
- Penentration perpendicular, keep straight path, use gyro instrument only
- Avoid level near 0°C isotherm
- Beware of engine flame out, thrust change should be minimise
what should be kept in mind when start APU in cold wx ?
APU should be start using ground power if temp < -15°C
What engine procedure must be applied during Ice condition on ground ?
Engine ice shedding procedure
What caution should be taken while flying in icing codition ?
Avoid slats extend
If OAT < -40°C, when does a/c have to T/O after perform thrust reverse cycle ?
within 1 min after perform
Hot wx operation
What should be consider during ground operation ?
- Use external power to reduce APU load
- High pack flow
- Door and Blind close
Hot wx operation
What should be consider during engine start ?
Manual start
Hot wx operation
What should be consider during T/O ?
- Check brake temp
- Pack off or APU bleed on
- Be aware of thermal vortices
Hot wx operation
What should be consider during landing ?
Check brake temp
Use brake fan

What should be consider during parking ?
avoid park brake if temp > 500°C
