Briefing Questions

Question 1

A RWY condition code four indicates what braking action and what crosswind component for takeoff and Landing?

Answer 1

• Good to Medium
• T/O: 17KT’s
• LDG: 25KT’s

Question 2

Can a GLS auto land be performed in LVO conditions?

Answer 2

No, only to CAT1 conditions or better.

Question 3

Which LDG flaps can be used in LVO?

Answer 3

25 & 30

Question 4

What should the Right seat pilot monitor during takeoff in an LVO takeoff?

Answer 4

Localiser position and Speeds.

Question 5

How many hydraulic systems are required for LVO CAT3B/3A/2?

Answer 5

4

Question 6

Can an LVO approach be continued in the event of a pilot incapacitation?

Answer 6

Yes, if you have LAND 3 or 2

Question 7

What visa is defined as a low visibility takeoff?

Answer 7

Less than 400M RVR

Question 8

RVR is less than 550M, does LVP need to be in force?

Answer 8

LVP for takeoffs less than RVR 550, LVO for less than RVR 400

Question 9

Can reported Vis RV be factored to obtained equivalent RVR or LVO?

Answer 9

No

Question 10

ATC cancel LVP and revert to CAT1 during your approach to increase traffic flow. Could this be a threat to auto land?

Answer 10

Possibly, as enhanced ILS signal protection is lost.

Question 11

What is the visual reference required for a CAT2 landing?

Answer 11

Approach environment and threshold.

Question 12

What is the visual reference required when landing from a CAT3A Approach?

Answer 12

3 centreline lights.

Question 13

If one transmissometer is temporarily inop, how can you determine what approach can be completed?

Answer 13

OM Part-C LV port pages.

Question 14

For LVO Approaches, what minima should be used? Chart or port pages?

Answer 14

Port pages

Question 15

The minimum DH for CAT2 approaches in 100’. The port pages may specify and minima higher or lower than 100’. Why?

Answer 15

Ops-A minima relates to height above threshold. Undulating terrain may have effect.

Question 16

What is the difference between advection and radiation fog?

Answer 16

Advection Fog: Moist air passing over cool surface.

Radiation fog: Clear night cooling surface.

Question 17

What type of fog would you except for KSFO? EGLL?

Answer 17

• KSFO: Advection

- EGLL: Radiation

Question 18

Why is seat position critical for all instrument approaches?

Answer 18

Visual segment is reduced if eye position is incorrect.

Question 19

EHAM RWY18C ATC instruction “Direct SULOG, Cleared for RNP APPROACH RWY18C”. What type of approach is this?

Answer 19

RNP Approach, non AR. IAN may be used from FAF

Short time: 00:55

Long time: 01:30

Question 21

When does HOT start?

Answer 21

Commencement of the final application.

Question 23

When do you put EAI on?

Answer 23

Below 10° with visible moisture after engine start.
