Q

What types of approaches can be used for derived alternate minima?

A

Straight-in precision or non-precision approaches.

(If using the same airport with different approaches for derived wx the airport must have operational NAV facilities to different suitable runways)

Q

How do you determine alternate Wx minima (Derived)?

Q

When are the destination and 1st alternate considered marginal?

A

Destination: WX Equals HAT or HAA OR the reported or forecast visibility equals the published requirements.

AND

1st Alternate: Ceiling or Visibility equals derived values

Q

What does exemption 17347 allow?

A

A flight to be dispatched to a destination where there’s a TEMPO or PROB30 which forecasts the wx being below CAT 1 Wx Mins at the time of arrival as long as you add the 2nd alternate.

*Main body still needs to say the wx will be greater than required minima at time of arrival

Q

What’re the criteria for 17347?

A

Destination: The main body needs to be at least equal to landing mins, and forecast visibility needs to be not less than 1/2 the required visibility.

1st Alternate: Main body equals full and forecasts 1/2 the required alternate min. vis. and ceiling

Purpose of ACARS and NOTES section?

A

To help with NOTAMS that shorten RWY available, and any extra info.

40
Q

Difference between simple special and complex special?

A

Simple Special: Turn below 1000ft/Single engine std. operating procedures cannot be used due to obstacle requirements.

Complex Special: Engine Failure procedure too complex for the simple special table.

41
Q

When calculated TO Weight exceeds MTOW for planned TO data.

42
Q

When would 10kts. TW Data be used?

A

Any time there’s any TW component.

43
Q

What do the dashed lines mean in the TLDR?
