Answer 1

1000ft

Question 2

Can a Pilot Turn the airplane with the above conditions if an Instrument or Special Departure procedure requires it. Takeoff in IMC (ceiling < 1000’ and < 3SM)

Answer 2

Yes

Question 3

The RWY report has been updated to “contaminated”, what does this mean

Answer 3

Contaminated Runway - A runway is considered contaminated when more than 25% of the runway surface area (whether in isolated areas or not), within the reported length and the width being used, is covered by more than 1/8 in (3 mm) of standing water or its equivalent in slush, wet snow, dry snow or any depth of ice or compacted snow.

Question 4

What does TALPA stand for

Answer 4

Take off and Landing Performance Assessment

Question 5

TALPA uses RCAM (RCCs) to assess runway conditions, describe the difference in runway condition between an RCC of 6 and RCC of 1 –

Answer 5

6 is Dry, 1 is Ice ( Braking deceleration OR directional control is reduced

Question 6

Where can the RCAM/Braking action table be found

Answer 6

FOM Chapter 7

Question 7

What is the maximum crosswind component for takeoff with a WET runway

Answer 7

31 Knots

Question 8

What does the bold (T) symbol communicate?

Answer 8

Tracking, Time, Crew must take action

A bold symbol (T) (Tracking) is a flag to the flight crew that any of the
following conditions exist:
• An MEL requires a tracking (or time) restriction.
• A repair interval Category A of one day.
• Procedures that must be performed, tested, or checked before each flight, prior to the first flight of the day, once each flight day, or at a
certain number of hours, landings, cycles, etc.

The bold (T) also precedes the specific item in the Remarks and
Exceptions & Operational Procedures block of the MEL. For example, “(T) Before each flight, oxygen pressure is checked to be above the
minimum required oxygen pressure.” In this example, the crew oxygen pressure must be checked before each

Question 9

Why is the HYD fluid temperature checked during the originating flow

Answer 9

-18 Turn on all HYD pumps including PTU then wait 30 seconds

Question 10

During an ECS ON takeoff the APU will be ON or OFF

Answer 10

APU OFF

Question 11

The RWY is reported as WET, what does this mean –

Answer 11

Wet Runway - A runway is considered wet when more than 25% of the runway surface area, within the length and the width being used, is covered by any visible dampness or water 1/8 in (3 mm) or less in depth.

Question 12

What impact does this MEL have on fuel planning?

Answer 12

Additional 660 lb fuel for increased burn

Question 13

How does the pilot know that this added fuel burn from the MEL has been applied to the Flight Release –
