Question 1

What is 91.175?

Asked me what I needed to go Below Mins?

Answer 1

Takeoff and landing under IFR.

i) Approach light system with red terminating bars or with red side row bars, ii) the threshold, iii) the threshold markings, iv) the threshold lights, v) the runway end identifier lights etc.

Question 2

Name the different types of airframe icing?

Answer 2

Rime
Clear
Mixed

Question 3

What is MSA?

Answer 3

Minimum sector altitude is the lowest altitude which may be used which will provide a minimum clearance of 300 m (1 000 ft) above all objects located in the area contained within a sector of a circle of 46 km (25 NM) radius centered on a radio navigation aid

Question 4

What is your company V1 cut procedure? (Call outs, actions, memory items, etc)

Answer 4

a

Question 5

How do you determine the top altitude of a SID?

Answer 5

It says it on the left hand side for a Jepp SID. “Top Altitude”

Question 6

How do you calculate your descent point using altitude and airspeed?

Answer 6

Example: 30,000 down to 10,000 slow from 300 to 250 20,000X3=60 10% 5 (1 mile for every 10 knots to lose)

Question 7

You’re at FL 390, told to descend to 9000 by 30nm north of the fix. When do you descend?

Answer 7

30*3=90 nm needed. So 90 30 = 120nm from fix.

Question 8

What would you do if it was Christmas Eve and the LAV was MEL’d. The flight is about 1:40. Would you go or not, and how would you make that decision ?

Answer 8

First review the MEL, if the airplane have at least 1 LAV operative I go, if the airplane don’t have any LAV operative unfortunately we can’t go, the airplane have 155 pax and with different conditions.

Question 9

What is the difference between light chop and light turbulence?

Answer 9

Chop causes a jolt or disturbance but not much change in altitude/ attitude and turbulence has jolt or bumps that do change altitude / attitude. Chop is can be labeled light or moderate and turbulence can be light, moderate, sever or extreme.

Question 10

What does seeing the approach lights allow you to do?

Answer 10

Continue down to 100’ above TDZE

Question 11

What is clear ice?

Answer 11

a collection of large close to freezing water droplets that flow back across the wing as they freeze. i.e.: freezing rain.

Question 12

Tell me what your Go - around procedure is at your current A/C.

Answer 12

a

Question 13

What color is type four deice fluid?

Answer 13

Type I is orange and Type IV is green

Question 14

Define a stabilized approach?

Answer 14

Having the a/c in a configuration for landing at least 1000’ above the touchdown zone. Minimal changes In pitch, power needed to maintain glide angle, descent profile

Question 15

What are the holding speeds?

Answer 15

Up to 6,000 ft MSL: 200 KIAS. From 6,001 to 14,000 ft MSL: 230 KIAS. 14,001 ft MSL and above: 265 KIAS

Question 16

What are your considerations when landing with RCC codes of 2?

Answer 16

Braking deceleration is significantly reduced for the wheel braking effort applied, or directional control is significantly reduced. Consider performance data, landing distance required, max crosswind component, touchdown point, hydroplaning possibilities. Consider adding an alternate to the release.
