Yes Flashcards
What is the minimum possible RVR and ceiling for IFR departure onshore?
150m/50’
What is the minimum possible visibility for IFR departure offshore?
250m
What should you consider when planning to use RNAV approaches for destination and alternate aerodromes?
It is not allowed to plan to use RNAV at both destination and alternate aerodromes. At least one of the aerodromes should have a working approach that does not rely on GNSS/GPS.
What are the requirements for a T/O alternate aerodrome? (3 things)
- Flight max 1 hour at normal cruise speed
- forecast wx above or at dest minima +/- 1 hour from arrival
- flight path possible with OEI.
Do we need T/O alternate from offshore helideck?
No; regardless of situation we are committed to continue to onward flight.
What is the destination planning minima for a type B approach?
RVR/Vis only
What is the planning minima for a type A approach?
Ceiling at or above DA/MDA; RVR/Vis.
What is the planning minima for a type B approach to an alternate?
RVR/Vis + 400; Ceiling at DH + 200.
What is the planning minima for a type A approach to an alternate?
RVR/Vis + 400; Ceiling at DH + 200.
What are the conditions for avoiding an alternate; rule 2 (4 things)
Ceiling 400’ above MDA/H or DA/H; Vis 3000m; 2 instrument procedures; +15min fuel (+/-2hr).
What are the conditions for avoiding an alternate; the Revised aerodrome rule?
2500m / ceiling 1000’ over aerodrome (+/-1hr).
What are the conditions for avoiding an alternate; VMC from MSA?
VMC approach possible from MSA (+/-1hr).
What are the conditions for avoiding an alternate; Coastal day?
CLOUD BASE above DA/H+400; 4000m (+/-1hr).
What is the max number of approach attempts?
2; unless significant improvement has been made.
3; if it’s a coupled 3D approach
What are the requirements for visual approach?
800 m vis; aerodrome in sight.
What is the VFR day minimum for G airspace at and below 3000’?
5000 m vis; clear of clouds.
What is the VFR day minimum for G airspace above 3000’?
5000 m vis; 1500 m horizontal and 1000’ vertical distance from clouds.
What is the VFR night minimum for G airspace enroute?
5000 m vis; 1500 m horizontal and 1000’ vertical distance from clouds.
What is the VFR day minimum over water?
1500 m; 600’.
What is the VFR night minimum over water?
5000 m; 1200’.
What is the VFR day minimum between helidecks less than 10 NM apart?
2000 m (800); 300’.
What is the VFR night minimum between helidecks less than 10 NM apart?
5000 m (1500); 500’.
What is the maximum windspeed for operation on a helideck?
60 kts including gusts.
Can we disregard a PROB 30/40 or TEMPO?
Yes; if they are of showery conditions.
Can we disregard a PROB 30/40 TEMPO?
Yes; except for FZFG.
What is the contingency fuel for IFR or VFR over water?
10% of TRIP and ALTERNATE.
What is the contingency fuel for VFR?
5% of TRIP.
What is the final reserve fuel for IFR or VFR over water?
30 minutes.
What is the final reserve fuel for VFR?
20 minutes.
What is the cloud penetration minimum day and MDA?
600’ 4000 m; visual in 500’.
What is the cloud penetration minimum night and MDA?
1200’ 5000 m; visual in 1000’.
When to do Low vis T/O?
