129
Where is the RVSM "critical area" on the aircraft and what are you checking them for on your preflight
Located near the FWD left and FWD right static ports and indicated by "yellow corners".
You are looking for any scratches or dents in this area and checking to see if they have been marked on the "skin map" in the can. If not marked then call MX to write up.
130
What is Drift Down (DD) Method 2
1) 1 obsticle - a fix will be identified and plan is made to either continue or turn around if engine fails before or after this fix.
2) 2 obsticles or more - an enroute DD alternate or alternates are identified to escape obsticles if engine fails between the 2 fixes (or obsticles).
131
What is taxi out fuel?

134
What does the NAV button on the displays control show when selected?
Ground based short range NAV (VORs, LOC, ILS etc). Needs will normally be green.
135
What is Unfactored Landing Distance
The "no shit" distance to stop the A/C on a dry runway, crossing the threshold at 50', landing on the 1000' marker and max breaking (no-reversers).
- Distance calculated is from the threshold, not the T/D point.
136
How do the Aircraft (MFD), FMS and ACARS interact and what are their limitations
1) These three do no share information
2) FMS and ACARS rely on pilot input
2) MFD gives information to relay to FMS and ACARS.
137
What is required for takeoff with RVR 1200/1200/1000
1) Min of 2 RVRs, TDZ and Rollout
- Mid may sub for inop RVR
2) Runway Must Have
- DAY: RCLM _or_ HIRL _or_ CL
- NIGHT: HIRL _or_ CL
138
Under what conditions must the Captain make all takeoff and landings when flying with a First Officer with \< 100 hrs on type
1) Vis is less than ¾ SM / 4000 RVR
2) Special Use Airports
3) Breaking Action is \< good
4) Contaminated Runways - Grooved or Not
5) X Wind Component \< 15 kts
6) Windshear in the viscintiy.
139
When do you need a destination alternate?
**1** hour before to 1 hour after ETA
**2**000' ceiling
**3**SM Vis
140
What is a partially configured flight and when is it approved.
A flight that has departed with gear and or flaps down (or paritally down). Only approved for ferry flights under propoer permit.
141
What are the Required Communications on Company Freq Arriving and Leaving a Station
1) Monitor Outbound Ops Freq for 60 mins or FL180
2) Monitor Inbound Station when 20 mins out or transitioning down from FL180 (in range call no longer required).
142
Are we authorized to fly under VFR?
Yes, but should never do so in practice.
143
What are the Assumed Crew Weights
- Pilots: 190 lbs
- FA: 170lbs
- ACM (on jump seat): 190 lbs
144
What is the timeline for CDLs to be cleared?
When parts become _reasonably_ avaialble.
145
How should you avoid Wake Turbulence?
1) Avoid Areas when below and behind
2) Stay above and land beyond
146
What is the equipment suffix for RVSM and where can you find it.
"W" and you can find it on the ATC flight plan section of the OFP
147
What are the guidelines and restrictions for Operations in High Winds
1) Engine starting is not _recommended_ with more than 30 kts tail wind (not a limitation)
2) Operations in 50 kt or greater winds require specific SOC approval.
3) Operations above 65kts _are not_ authorized.
148
What considerations must you take when leveling off to your assigned cruise altitude in RVSM airspace.
Do not overshoot the altitude by more than 150'. Your VSI must be reduced to 1000FPM or less when within 2000 feet or the assigned altitude.
149
What actions are required to complete a security check?
Opening and checking behind all doors fwd of the wings except the under cockpit hatch and fwd avionics; specifically:
- Battery Compartment (left)
- Fwd Hydraulics (right)
- Fuel (right)
- O2 (right)
150
RVSM Tolerance for Airports 0-5000' MSL
1) All altimeters within 75' of Airport elevation
2) Primary Altimeters are within 50' of each other
3) Primary Altimeters are within 150' of Stdby
"RVSM confirmed" = satisfying the above
151
What is the Rule for Parking Aircraft
5ft 3ft Rule
## Footnote
1) If you are further than 5 feet from an object, you do not need a wing walker.
2) You should _never_ be less than 3ft from an object
3) Between 3' and 5' you need a wing walker
4) NO OVER/UNDER
