- You are unable to see the required visual cues at decision height on an approach. Are you obligated to proceed to your filed alternate? (GOM 5,6)

- Describe the check required after passing a waypoint in Class II airspace. What is being determined by this check? (GOM 6)
- Approximately ten minutes after passing each waypoint, the steering LRN unit position should be plotted and all LRN units checked against each other to ensure there are no significant deviations

- Verify on-course tracking
- The check is designed to ensure that the proper coordinates are inserted in the ‘NEXT’ position and that the aircraft is tracking to that position. The check does NOT verify the aircraft is in the proper position
- In several areas, such as over the Andes in South America, the MEAs for en-route segments may be well above the engine out capabilities of the particular aircraft and weight. Is Kalitta Air authorized to traverse such a route? If so, are there any special provisions that must be met? Explain…(GOM 6)
The aircraft must be capable of meeting obstacle clearance requirements along a particular route with an engine inoperative. If diversion procedures or “escape routes” are not available or defined, these routes should not be flown, unless weights are reduced to allow compliance with en-route obstruction clearance criteria as described in GOM6-41, FAR 121.191 and FAR 121.193.
- While flying in less developed areas and after receiving a “direct via” off airway routing, what altitude should be consulted on the en-route chart to ensure obstacle clearance requirements can be met? What type of terrain clearance does that altitude afford? (GOM 6)

- What is the Engine Failure Procedure in VMC if an engine fails after V1? (GOM 6, AOM Vol I PERF)
In VMC, you must fly the runway heading to 1000’ then maneuver as necessary, unless a Special Engine Failure procedure dictates otherwise
- Often the transition level is shown on Jeppesen Approach Charts as “by ATC”. Although the controller should announce the transition level in these circumstances, often they do not. What are some indicators that a flight has been cleared through a transition level?
The flight crew may know they have been cleared through the transition level, (descending) when cleared to maintain an altitude instead of a flight level. Additionally, a flight should be given an altimeter setting when cleared through the transition level.
- When conducting a course reversal procedure outside of the United States, what must be done to assure obstruction clearance? (GOM 6)
Unlike the United States, where a holding pattern can be used as a course reversal, the course reversal procedure must be flown exactly as depicted
