Q

Oceanic Clearance - Which OACs can you request via data link?

A

Gander, Shanwick, Santa Maria and Reykjavik OACs have such capability and the relevant operational procedures are published both JEPPSEN and in NAT OPS Bulletins. New York OAC uses the FANS 1/A CPDLC function to uplink oceanic clearances to all aircraft utilising CPDLC.

Q

What is the phraseology to request the Oceanic Clearance?

A

-Target Station (2X)
-Callsign
-Request Oceanic Clearance to…
-Estimating — at… (z)
-…. next
-Request Mach decimal…; FL….
-Able FL…

Exemplo:
Santa Maria (2x), Air Azores 224 Request Oceanic Clearance to Ponta Delgada. Estimating 46N060W at 0140, 43N050W next. Request Mach decimal seven eight, FL 350, able FL360

Q

Circle & Tick technique: (Before Entry)

A

-PF reads waypoint names and coordinates
-PM simultaneously checks agains OCL and MFP and places a circle (O) next to waypoint name on MFP
- PF reads track and distances between oceanic entry points from the FMS
-PM simultaneously checks on MFP and then Places a tick on the top right of the circle used to confirmed waypoints coordinates

Q

BEFORE EEP

A

-ETOPS BEFORE ENTRY POINT checklist part
-Update FMS winds
-Set assigned MACH in FMS
-Log on CDPLC
-Evaluate potential ERA wx/services
-Validate minima suitability

Q

Before EEP, PF uses FMS ETP page …

A

PROG (L4R) page with city pair (i.e. CYJT27) in order to get a bearing/distance to ERA.

Q

After EEP:

A

-Use ETOPS checklist WITHIN ETOPS AREA
-HF/SELCAL checks (if not done before)
-Enter nearest Diversion Airport of PF PROG Page
-Set VHF1 to 123.45 and VHD2 to 121.5
-Set transponder to 2000, 30 minutes past oceanic entry (use time reminder)
-Use strategic lateral offset procedure (SLOP)

17
Q

After EEP, what frequencies are set on VHF1 and 2?

A

VHF1 - 123.45
VHF2 - 121.5

18
Q

30 minutes after EEP, what action with transponder?

A

Squawk 2000

19
Q

How long after EEP do we squawk 2000?

A

30 minutes

20
Q

What is the SLOP?

A

Strategic Lateral Offset Procedure

This procedure is a SOP throughout the NAT region

21
Q

How to perform the SLOP?

A

-Fly betweeun 0.1 up to a maximum of 2NM offset TO THE RIGHT ONLY
-Don’t advise/request ATC
-Return to course by Oceanic Exit Point

22
Q

Approaching Each waypoint…

A

-Both pilots very next waypoint lat/long, course and distance agree with CFP
-Perform Circle & Tick procedure by drawing a diagonal line thry the circle beside the waypoint to indicate verification was accomplished

23
Q

Over Waypoint…

A

-Confirm next waypoint becomes active waypoint
-Verify NAV mode
-Draw a second diagonal line thru the circle beside the waypoint just passed, indicating passage (x)
-Record time and fuel on CFP/MFP

24
Q

Position Check

A

-Aircraft position and time must be plotted 10 MINUTES (or 2 Degrees) beyond each waypoint passage to verify the correct track is being flown.
(label position with the time) (Use time reminder)
- Register the coordinates and time on the plotting chart

25
Q

Midweather Check

A

-Check ETA to the next waypoint.
-If ETA changed by 3 min or more, inform ATC
-Check and register Time, position, temperature, wind and fuel

26
Q

Oceanic Exit Point

A

-Ensure SLOP is 0 by OEP
-Confirm ATC routing/Mach/Alt (If required)
-Delete constant Mach
-(FOB+FU=Fuel at departure)

27
Q

Wx deviation required:

A

-Contact ATC via CPDLC or voice stating “WEATHER DEVIATION REQUIRED”
-Iff needed, CPDLC Emergency/Urgency Downlink Message (EMGD) or PAN PAN.
-Inform ATC when clear of Wx

28
Q

LATERAL Wx Deviation required, no ATC clearance yet..

A

Deviate away from an OTS or Route system

29
Q

VERTICAL Wx Deviation required, no ATC clearance yet..

A

For deviations < 5 NM, remain at level assigned
For deviation at or > 5 NM, Level change by descending/climbing 300ft (SAND)

30
Q

SA Wx Deviation required, no ATC clearance yet..

A

Watch for traffic + ALL EXTERIOR LIGHTS ON

31
Q

Wx Deviation required, no ATC clearance yet.. (COMM)

A

-Request comm’s relay
-Alert nearby traffic by broadcasting at suitable intervals: Callsign, FL, PSN and intentions

32
Q

Wx Deviation required, no ATC clearance yet.. BACK ON ROUTE

A

Be at assigned level within 5NM of centerline

33
Q

SAND

A

SA - South Ascend
ND - North Descend

34
Q

ETOPS PLANNING MINIMA For an alternate with a precision approach procedure?

A

Ceiling= Authorized DH/DA + 200ft
Weather Minima VIS/VRV= Authorized vis +800 m

35
Q

ETOPS PLANNING MINIMA For an alternate with a non-precision approach or circling?

A

Ceiling= Authorized DH/DA + 400ft
Weather Minima VIS= Authorized vis +1500 m
