When must external control surface locks, undercarriage pins and locks, or other external locking or restricting devices, be removed?
Prior to taxiing for the purpose of taking off.
CAO 20.2.2.2
Who may remove external control surface locks, undercarriage pins and locks, or other external locking or restricting devices?
PIC or co-pilot. Or, another personal directed by the PIC and the PIC or co-pilot must visually confirm the locks have been removed.
CAO 20.2.2.3
If an aircraft has been parked in winds exceeding 35kts and the control surfaces have not been locked, what is the requirement?
PIC or a LAME must inspect the control systems and control surface attachments for damage before flight.
CAO 20.2.2.4
Normally, flight controls must be tested immediately before take-off. If external control locks have been removed, or it is the first flight since control surfaces or control systems have been worked on for maintenance, when must the controls be tested?
Immediately before taxiing for the purpose of taking off.
CAO 20.2.2.5
When must the PIC ensure all doors, escape hatches and loading hatches are properly secured?
Immediately before taxiing for the purpose of taking off.
CAO 20.2.3
What precautions must be made before solo flight in an aircraft fitted with dual controls?
PIC must ensure safety harness and any other articles or equipment which may foul the controls are safely secured. If the second control column is readily removable - it must be removed.
CAO 20.2.4
When must the fuel system be inspected?
Before the first flight of the day.
After each refueling.
Any other time CASA or the AFM requires.
CAO 20.2.5.1 (a) ii
If we are hot refueling, are we required to test the fuel system as per CAO 20.2.5.1 (a) ii?
No. However, this does not effect the requirement to do so before the start of each day’s flying.
CAO 20.2.5.1A
If significant water is found to be present in the fuel system, what must be done?
The PIC must ensure all traces of it are removed from the fuel system, including fuel filters before further flight.
CAO 20.2.5.2
When must fuel take vents be inspected for freedom of obstruction?
Before the first flight each day.
CAO 20.2.5.3
Above what height must passengers be briefed on the location and manner of operating the oxygen as well as the necessity of using oxygen in the event of cabin depressurisation - in a pressurised aircraft?
Above FL250.
CAO 20.4.4.4
Above what height must passengers be briefed on the location and manner of operating the oxygen as well as when to use oxygen - in a unpressurised aircraft?
Above FL140
CAO 20.4.4.5
When must a flight crew member be provided with and continuously use oxygen in an unpressurised aircraft?
Above 10,000ft.
CAO 20.4.6.1
A crew member in an unpressurised aircraft must be provided supplemental oxygen when?
Any period exceeding 30 minutes between 10,000ft and FL120 inclusive.
OR
At all times above FL120
CAO 20.4.6.3
When must a crew member in an unpressurised aircraft use supplemental oxygen?
Above FL140
CAO 20.4.6.3
Where an unpressurised aircraft flies for more than 30 minutes above 10,000ft and up to and including FL140, how much supplemental oxygen must be carried for passengers?
Enough to supply:
10% of the passengers for 30 minutes
OR
20% of passengers for 15 minutes
CAO 20.4.6.4
Where an unpressurised aircraft flies above FL140, how much supplemental oxygen must be carried for passengers?
Enough to supply each passenger with oxygen during all periods that the aircraft flies above FL140.
CAO 20.4 6.5
For a pressurised aircraft below FL250 but above 10,000ft, how much oxygen must be carried for the flight crew members?
At least a 15 minute supply of supplemental oxygen must be carried.
CAO 20.4.7.3
A pressurised aircraft operating above FL250 which requires more than 1 pilot requires how much first aid oxygen?
Enough to supple 1% of the passengers for the entire planned duration of the flight.
CAO 20.4.9
What is the maximum time before take-off that an ambient take-off chart can be completed and still be valid for take-off?
15 minutes.
CAO 20.7.0.3
You are completing a landing chart using forecast conditions for Melbourne Intl. Flying from Sydney Intl. ETD is 0550Z. When is the earliest you can complete a forecast landing chart for Melbourne?
0450Z
You may complete a forecast landing chart within 1 hour prior to departure and it will be valid for landing.
(Within Australian territory only)
CAO 20.7.0.3
Can declared conditions be used for take-off charts, landing charts or both?
Both.
CAO 20.7.0.3
AWIS is not available at Wagga. Can you still complete an ambient take-off chart? If so, how?
Wind - Windsock
QNH - Set elevation then read off subscale.
OR
Pressure Height - Set 1013 then read off altimeter.
CAO 20.7.1 Appendix 1 (1)
By what factor must we multiply our calculated TODR by? Why?
1.15 for aircraft MTOW 3500kg
Interpolate between these numbers for aircraft between 2000kg and 3500kg.
Jacob said Geoff said:
These numbers were designed when take-off and landing charts were provided by CASA so a buffer was created to provide for any innacuracies.
CAO 20.7.4.6.3 states that you only have to comply with what a foreign AFM or manufacturer’s data manual states for an aircraft (1.15 or 1.25 is not required if using a manufacturer chart).
CAO 20.7.4.6
