OM A general questions Flashcards
Following a lightning strike, an ASR should be filed. What needs to be mentioned in the ASR?
The effect of the strike on instrumentation or systems - if no affect - this should be stated
OMA 11.4
Avoidance of RT confusion - if there is a risk of confusion - what should you ask from ATC?
Request permission to change to the a/c regn eg Speedbird G-STBA
OMA 8 28 1 g
If no voice comms during pushback with ground crew, engine start should be …
accomplished on stand or after push and the park brake is set
OMA 8 28 2 a
Unless otherwise promulgated, min height for turns is…
400 ft AAL
OMA 8 28 3 b
To avoid a large storm, the flight crew should make decisions while still XX nm from it
40 nm
OMA 8 28 5 a
Avoid all yellow, red, or magenta weather radar returns by at least XX nm
20 nm
OMA 8 28 5 a
Avoid all GREEN, yellow, red, and magenta weather radar returns of cells taller than 28,000 ft by at least XX nm
20 nm
OMA 8 28 5 a
Cells exceeding XXXXX ft should be considered extremely hazardous and further separation (in addition to the 20 nm) should be used
35,000 ft
OMA 8 28 5 a
If the top of cell is at or above XXXXX ft, do not overfly it to minimise the possibility of encountering turbulence
25,000 ft
OMA 8 28 5 a
Do not attempt to penetrate a cell or clear its top by less than XXXX ft vertically, otherwise the aircraft may encounter severe turbulence
5,000 ft
OMA 8 28 5 a
Windshear encountered on take-off or approach must be reported to ATC immediately by R/T if considered a hazard, giving details of
height and severity
Severe windshear is considered to be uncontrollable changes from normal steady flight conditions below XXXX ft AGL, in excess of the following:
- 15 kts indicated airspeed.
- 500 fpm vertical speed.
- 5° pitch attitude
- 1 dot displacement from the glideslope/glidepath.
- Unusual thrust levels for a significant period of time.
On departure, if severe windshear is reported or forecast… If the nature or severity of the windshear cannot be determined, what MUST be used
DO NOT TAKEOFF Full thrust must be used
Reduced thrust may be used if any windshear expected during or after take-off is caused by strong winds not associated with…
CBs or frontal activity
Windshear Go-around
On aircraft fitted with aural windshear warning systems, if a GPWS “Windshear” warning is received, a windshear Go-Around must be carried out.
Exceptionally, in conditions of extreme turbulence associated with strong winds and NOT XXX or YYY, a warning may be treated as advisory provided that this warning has been anticipated, briefed for in the Approach Briefing and appropriate allowance made (speed increase?).
Cb or frontal activity
