|
who can declare an emergency
|
PIC, flight dispatcher, and ATC
|
|
|
what is the visibility required in order to takeoff
|
2 engine - 1 SM no ceilings
3 engine - 1/2 SM no ceilings |
|
|
when must a takeoff alternate be planned and listed on the dispatch flight release
|
whenever the actual visibility at the departure airport is below the landing minimums (found on an approach plate) for the departure airport
|
|
|
if a takeoff alternate is needed, what does FAR 121 say about the requirements for it
|
if taking off in a 2 engine jet, the takeoff alternate must be within 1 hour in still air with 1 engine inoperative. if taking off in a 3 or more engine jet, the takeoff alternate must be within 2 hours in still air with one engine inoperative. standard alternate weather minimums of 600-2 for a precision approach and 800-2 for a non precision approach apply as well
|
|
|
if a flight departs, loses an engine, and then cannot return to the departure airport because the weather has gone below minimums, then proceeds to its takeoff alternate, what weather minimums apply at the takeoff alternate
|
approach plate minimums
|
|
|
when is a destination alternate required
|
123 rule
if the weather forecasted at the destination is from 1 hour before to one hour after the estimated time of arrival (ETA), forecast to be less than a 2000 ft ceiling, and/or less than 3 SM visibility, an alternate is required |
|
|
is there a limit to how far away and a destination alternate can be or how many alternates you can have
|
no, there is no limit. the only limit is having enough fuel to get to them
|
|
|
if a flight is over its destination and diverts to its destination alternate, what weather minimums apply
|
approach plate minimums
|
|
|
a flight is planned in a smaller (or older, 2 engine jet (b717, crj, erj, etc)) from KORD to KSFO. as a result, the flight will cross the rocky mts. what must be considered before this flight can be dispatched
|
the possibility of needing a drift-down alternate needs to be considered. it is dependent on the route of flight, and the weight of the aircraft at takeoff. if a flight is not heavy and loses an engine over the mountains, it will easily be able to maintain altitude and clear them (by 2000 ft). however, if it is heavy at takeoff, when it loses one of its two engines, it will not be able to clear the mts. in the case of the latter, a drift down alternate must be planned, or in some cases several (if a flight is crossing multiple mt ranges)
|
|
|
what is operational control
|
the legal authority to initaite, conduct, and terminate a flight
|
|
|
who has operational control
|
the certificate holder (airline)
|
|
|
what does the certificate holder do with operational control
|
they delegate to the PIC and the flight dispatcher who share joint responsibility for a flight
|
|
|
how many hours of cockpit familiarization time per year must a flight dispatcher have
|
5 hours per year
|
|
|
name all of the items found on a dispatch flight release
|
fuel mins
airports trip/tail number weather ifr vfr signature |
|
|
what is domestic fuel supply
|
enough fuel to fly from the departure airport to the destination, then to the most distant alternate if required, and then 45 minutes of reserve fuel
|
|
|
what does FAR 121 say about communications
|
it states that the PIC and the flight dispatcher must be able to contact each other at all times, regardless of where in the world a flight may be
|
|
|
who do US airlines use to comply with FAR 121 communication regulation? what about most of europe and north africa
|
SFOARInc in the US and Stockholm Radio for EU
|
|
|
what does NTSB part 830 deal with
|
accidents, incidents, and injuries
|
|
|
give an example of an injury
|
broken arm/leg, torn tendon
|
|
|
the PIC and the flight dispatcher are jointly responsible for what
|
safety of flight, pre-flight planning, delay and dispatch release
|
|
|
what does FAR part 121 say about the flight dispatcher being familiar with weather
|
it states that the flight dispatcher must be thoroughly familiar with weather that exists and forecast weather conditions at airports along the route of flight, prior to dispatching any flight
|
|
|
an airlines' authority to operate a particular aircraft, fly between two cities, fly ILS category II approaches can all be found in what
|
an airline's operations specifications
|
|
|
what does FAR part 121 say about landing limitations
|
when planning a flight, the aircraft must be able to stop within 60% of the available runway (under dry conditions) at the destination. if the runway is wet, the aircraft must be able to stop within 115% of the dry runway requirement. for an alternate airport, the aircraft must be able to stop within 60%?????70% of the available runway (wet or dry)
|
|
|
define a domestic air carrier and give an example
|
a domestic air carrier is an airline that operates aircraft that weigh 12,500 lbs or greater on a scheduled basis inside the 48 contiguous US
|
|
|
define a flag air carrier and give an example
|
an airline which operates aircraft which weigh 12,500 lbs or greater, on a scheduled basis, to destinations outside the contiguous 48
|
|
|
if a flight pushes back from the gate, then returns with a problem, does the dispatcher have to re-release the flight
|
not typically, since the flight didnt leave the ground
|
|
|
a flight takes off from KMIA, then air-interrupts (returns) back to KMIA. does the dispatcher have to re-dispatch/re-release the flight
|
yes, because the airplane landed at an airport not listed as its destination in the original dispatch release
|
|
|
a flight that is traveling from KDFW to KORD takes off. over KSTL the flight develops a mechanical problem and lands at KSTL. does the flight need to be re-dispatched/re-released
|
yes, because the airplane landed at an airport not listed as its destination in the original dispatch release
|
|
|
a flight is planned from KMIA-KDFW-KLAX. the flight has been planned with an intermediate stop. the flight depart KMIA and lands successfully at KDFW. what is the max time that the flight can remain on the ground at KDFW (the intermediate airport) before it must be re-dispatched/re-released)
|
1 hour for a domestic carrier
6 hours for a flag carrier |
|
|
what is a high minimum captain
|
a PIC who has less than 100 hours in the aircraft type they are flying. they must add 100 ft to a published decision height or minimum descent altitude and add 1/2 mile (2400 RVR) to the required visibility
|
|
|
what are the landing minimums for a HMC at an alternate destination
|
no less than 300 and 1 SM visibility
|
|
|
if an approach plate gave landing minimums of 300/1 for a particular runway and the weather was reported at 250/1 1/2. could the pilot shoot an approach
|
yes, because VISIBILITY IS CONTROLLING
if the visibility exists at an airport, the plane may line up for its FAF. if the visibility is not there, then the plane may not line up. this rule has nothing to do about landing the plane, but deals with allowing the plane to attempt an approach |
