| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| What are the High Mins Captain Restrictions? | Increase MDA / DA by 100 feet and 1/2 SM, Exception 17347 not Applicable and no CAT 2 |
| When can a high minimums captain use CAT 1 landing minimums? | When performing a pilot monitored approach to CAT 1 minimums while using exemption 17203 |
| What is Exemption 17203? | Both CA and FO are CAT 2 qualified, autopilot is working, must use the Monitored Approach Procedure, Must not be below 4000 RVR AND the crosswind component must not exceed 15 knots, braking action less than good (see chart) |
| What visibility may a high minimums CA depart with? | RVR of 600/600/600 with a takeoff alternate when required using the 100 and 1/2SM additions to determine if a takeoff alternate is needed. |
| Can a crew be dispatched into CAT 2 weather? | Yes, when crew is qualified for CAT 2, when aircraft is CAT 2 capable and when the TAF is calling for better than 1/4SM in the main body of the TAF |
| When are CAT 2 approaches prohibited? | IOE and Line Checks |
| What are you certifying when signing for the release? | 1. Release content is correct 2. Flight can be conducted safely 3. Current Line Check 4. 3 takeoffs and landings in the past 90 days 5. Fit for Duty |
| What are the low time F.O. limitations? | 1. No contaminated Runways 2. No RVR less than 4000 3. No braking less than good (RCC less than 5s) 4. No +15 knot crosswinds 5. No windshear 6. No Special PIC Qualifications 7. No LAHSOs 8. No visibility of 3/4SM or less 9. No CAT 2 10. Can use Exemption 17203 with a low time FO |
| A pilot must be present for boarding when? | 1. It is the first flight of the day 2. International Flights |
| What are the three types of alternates? | Takeoff, destination and drift-down alternate |
| How many RVRs must be in operation for takeoff? | two (2) |
| When is an alternate required? | When within 1 hour before and one hour after the estimated time of arrival at the destination the ceilings are forecast to be less than 2000 feet or less than 3SM then and alternate is required. or if no approaches are available to the destination airport. |
| When is a second alternate required? | When weather at the destination AND the first alternate is marginal. So the destination would have to be below 1000 foot ceiling in AGL and Visibility of below 3 SM. The first alternate is considered marginal when the celling is below 600 feet AGL and visibility below 2 SM |
| What is Exemption 17347? | It allows flights under part 121 to be dispatched if weather reports or forecasts for the destination or the first alternate OR BOTH indicate IN THE CONDITIONAL PHRASES THAT THE WEATHER MAY BE BELOW AUTHORIZED WEATHER MINIMUMS AT THE ETA. However: -A high mins Captain cannot use this -A second alternate has to be provided |
| How low can the ceilings and visibility be at the DESTINATION when using Exemption 17347? | It can be 1/2 the lowest required visibility for the instrument approach expected to be flown |
| How low can the ceilings and visibility be at the FIRST ALTERNATE be when using Exemption 17347? | It can be 1/2 the lowest required ceiling AND visibility for the OpSpec CO55 alternate weather minimums |
| How low can the ceilings and visibility be at the SECOND ALTERNATE be when using Exemption 17347? | The METAR and the TAF, or any combination thereof must indicate that in the MAIN BODY and REMARKS that the ceiling AND visibility will be at or above the ceiling and visibility for the OpSpec CO55 alternate weather minimums. |
| What are the alternate weather minimums if we have two navigational aids to two different suitable runways? | The required forecast weather must have a CEILING of 200 feet added on the the highest MDA or DA of the two approaches available. The VISIBILITY must be 1/2 SM added on to the higher visibility of the two approaches available. |
| What are the alternate weather minimums if we have one navigational aid? | 400 feet is added on to DA(H) or MDA (H) to compute the ceiling and 1 SM is added on to the required visibility. |
| Can Cat 2 approach minimums be used for planning? | No |
| When do we need an Amended Release? (we can request a fresh release if to many amendments have been made and we don't want to make the changes manually. (on ground only) | 1. Added or change of Alternate 2. Ramp fuel of less than 300# from what was planned 3. If we havent departed and we are two hours passed when we received the release 4. Change of destination after takeoff 5. Change in Min Fuel Numbers 6. Route change or +/- 50 NM compared to the original flight plan 7. +/- 4000 feet from planned altitude 8. Actual takeoff weight exceedes planned takeoff weight by 4000# or more 9. Change of Flight Attendants 10. Change of MEL / CDL / NEF 11.Change of Remark |
| Dispatch must be notified when ramp fuel is greater than planned by how many pounds? | 300, no amendment is required |
| How is an amendment acknowledged over ACARS? | 1. Release NO. 2. Time (In ZULU) 3. PIC Initials |
| When is a new Release Required? | Never technically, if the crew can pen and ink the change, then it can be amended. However the crew can request a new release for the sake of time. |
| How many marshalers are required to taxi into the gate? | One marshaller is the minimum. |
| How is minimum fuel calculated? | Reserve + alternate = Minimum fuel OR 2660# |
| Non EOW aircraft must remain within how many miles of shoreline? | 50NM |
| What are the requirements for EOW aircraft? | 1. Cruise Min. Altitude must be FL250 or higher 2. The Aircraft must be equipped with life preservers for each passenger and crew member 3. The aircraft has to have an EOW placard 4. The company must use approved route segments (IOG) 5. IF at 35 degrees north latitude and ABOVE, do not exceed 100 NM from the nearest shoreline IF at 35 degree north latitude and BELOW, do not exceed 162 NM from shore OR no farther than 30 minutes flying time in still air with one engine inoperative. (Whichever is Less) |
| When is a takeoff alternate needed? | When the weather at the departure airport is below landing minimums. Then a takeoff alternate is required. |
| How far away can the takeoff alternate be? | 270 NM (It cannot be more than one hour away at normal cruise speed with one engine inoperative in still air, this comes out to 270NM) |
| Can we use ILS CAT 2 minimums at the departure airport as a deciding factor for a takeoff alternate. | We cannot use ILS CAT 2 minimums at the departure airport as a deciding factor for a takeoff alternate. NO, just No |
| At what fuel level are we at Emergency Fuel? | 1800# |
| When do we have to do the Originating / receiving checklist? | 1. First Flight of the Day 2. Plane Left Unattended 3. Change in PIC / SIC 4. When Maintenance was accomplished on the aircraft |
