* Reduction of mileage: 4 kg/nm * Increase in mileage: 5 kg/nm
26
When does positioning count as a sector?
* If positioning within an FDP containing a split duty. * Unless it is at the end of the FDP then it doesn't count as a sector.
27
When can we extend an FDP as part of a split duty?
* Two or more sectors separated by a period of time less than a minimum rest period. * \< 3 hours rest: Max extension is NIL * 3 to 10 hours rest: Max extension is half of the consecutive hours of rest taken.
28
What are the absolute limits on flying hours?
* 28 consecutive days: 100 hours * 1 year: 900 hours
29
What are the maximum duty hours?
* 7 Consecutive Days: 55 hours * (Can be extended to 60 hours due to unforseen delays.) * 14 Consecutive Days: 95 hours * 28 Consecutive Days: 190 hours
30
How many hours can you go into discretion to extend an FDP?
* 2 Hours * 3 hours immediately prior to final sector or on a single sector day.
31
When must a discretion report be filed?
* Discretion \> 2 hours * Reduced rest \> 1 hour * Exceedance of Cumulative Limits on Flying.
32
By how much can you reduce a rest period?
* Home Base: * Maximum 1 hour, but * Not less than 12 hours rest; Flight Deck * Not less than 11 hours rest; Cabin Crew. * Away from base: * minimum requirement is that allocated room be available for a minimum of 10 hours.
33
What are the First Officer Handling Limitations?
* Maximum Cross Wind: 20 knots * No planned tailwind for \*\*\* FO * No Flap 3 landing for \*\*\* FO * Unless required by an emergency procedure. * No FO takeoff if VIS \< 400m * No Contaminated RWY * No Windshear * Minimum Runway width 45m * Minimum VIS for Circling 5,000m.
34
What is the Procedure for reporting a Bird Strike?
* Inform ATC at the time of the incident. * Extra field to be completed on the SafetyNet on-line form.
35
When may Flex not be used for Takeoff?
* Contaminated RWY. * Windshear reported.
36
What is the minimum RVR for Takeoff? What if you're not LVO qualified? What visual segment is required?
* 125m * 150m if not LVO qulaified * 90m visual segment required. * This is an a/c design requirement. * All A320 family compliant.
37
Is the third segment RVR required for takeoff or landing?
* Only if relevant, i.e.; * Less than 60 knots expected after an RTO at V1 in the takeoff case (ADS\< 2/3 TODT to be certain.) * Less than 60 knots in the Landing Roll (LDR Vs LDA should give you an indication of this.)
38
Do you need RVRs for takeoff in LVPs? or, is met VIS OK?
* Yes, you need RVRs in the LVO takeoff case. * RVR derived from a conversion from Met VIS is only allowed for LANDING & if the RVR required is \>800m.
39
When do LVPs come into force?
* RVR \< 600m * Ceiling \< 200 feet
40
How many Infants may be carried onboard?
* 2 per accompanying adult.

* No. * Unless Ashes: * Suitable Container * Death Certificate * Cremation Certificate * Hand Luggage Only.
43
What are the criteria for carrying Musical Instruments? & Specifically Cellos?
* Small musical instruments should be stowed in the overhead locker. * Where not practical to combine musical instrument with another item of hand luggage, one small extra item allowed. * Larger Instruments eg Cellos: * Seat to be purchased * Window Seat * Not a restricted Seat * Centre of mass \< 30 cm above top of seat cushion. * Standard weight 10 kg (subject to local assessment.)
