Q

altimeter checks in flight

Study These Flashcards
A

one hour intervals, primary altimeters must agree within 200 feet of each other

if defective, must be reported to ATC

operating transponder connected to altimetry system controlling aircraft

25
Altitude Errors What does an operator need to report
vertical error of +/= 300 feet altimetry system error of +/= 245 feet assigned altitude deviation of +/= 300 feet.
26
failure of automatic control system, altitude alerter, or all primary altimeters
advice ATC "Unable RVSM due to equipment failure" Controller will provide 2000' separation or clear aircraft out of RVSM airspace
27
One primary altimeter operational
advise ATC cross check with stand-by altimeter if unable to confirm with standby, assume total failure
28
transponder failure
try other transponder request clearance to continue at flight level
29
Where does the NAT HLA exist(altitude)
FL285 - FL 420
30
avoiding weather on the NAT without ATC clearance procedure
deviate away from organized track establish communications with nearby aircraft watch for traffic turn on all aircraft exterior lights for deviations greater than 5nm initiate a level change if pilot receives clearance e to deviate but not beyond that distance - apply a 300ft vertical offset when returning to track be at assigned flight level when 5nm away from centerline continue attempt to contact atc if not contacted yet
31
Weather deviation heading east
left - descend 300ft right - climb 300ft
32
weather deviation west
left- climb 300 ft right - descend 300 ft
33
How is ATC provided in the NAT
position reporting only, no radars in the Atlantic
34
what are random routes
handmade routes using lat/long waypoints
35
random route examples
westbound during the night eastbound during the day flights above FL400 (east) or FL390 (west)
36
purpose of ETOPs
preclude diversion or protect diversion
37
ETOPS passenger recovery
for all ETOPS beyond 180 minutes and polar operations -- well being of passengers and crews ensured at each alternate airport passengers extracted within 48 hours offload passengers in save manner during weather provide for physiological needs of pax and crew
38
NAT offsets
may offset to the right of centerline up to 2nm left offset prohibited
39
what is GNE
gross navigation error (25 nm or more)
40
what is LHD
large height deviation (300 feet or more)
41
What are the nine behavioral indicators for leaderships
1. ensures the recipient is ready and able to receive the information 2. selects appropriately what, when, how, and with whom to communicate 3. conveys messages clearly, accurately, concisely 4. confirms that the recipient correctly understands important information 5. listens actively and demonstrates understanding when receiving information 6. asks relevant and effective questions 7. adheres to standard radiotelephone phraseology and procedures 8. accurately reads and interprets required company and flight documentation 9. accurately reads, interprets, constructs, and responds to datalink messages in English
42
What is the HLA
high level altitudes incorporates RVSM
43
What sections make up the NAT HLAF
Bodo, Reykjavik Gander, Shanwick, Santa Maria, New York (all oceanic)
44
Accepted long range navigation systems
2 are required GNSS (global navigation satellite system) INS (inertial nav system) one system using inputs from one or more IRS or any other sensor meeting the requirement
45
it is mandatory to use the OTS (organized track system) in HLA
false random routes fly above or below
46
A 777 is going eastbound and notices an aircraft is overtaking it 1000 feet above the 777 would like to avoid this aircraft - what direction can this aircraft offset
to the right, 2nm max
47
altitudes for the OTS
FL340 to FL400 sometimes changes, but typically these are the altitudes
48
NAT HLA altitudes
FL285 to FL420
49
When does an aircraft get a violation if moving off track / the route
10 nm - aircraft should get a ding used to be 30nm
50
How to get approval to fly through RVSM airspace
call control agency and request with saying not RVSM approved
51
flying in DRVSM overshooting or undershooting altitudes - at which point does the airplane get a ding / a "what are you doing"
150 feet
52
if autopilot is failing-
report it to ATC can request to stay in RVSM and be given a block of airspace may be told to leave RVSM
53
what is SELCAL
selective calling
54
If SELCAL equipped:
selcal code shall be included in flight plan selcal equipment operation should be checked at or prior to operation in oceanic airspace selcal should be watched after entry
55
If not selcal equipped:
flight crews shall maintain a continuous air-ground communication watch on the assigned frequency
56
do SELCAL codes transfer with aircraft operators (when an aircraft is sold)
no, a purchaser must obtain a new SELCAL code from the Registrar
57
is VHF or HF more susceptible to sunspot activity
HF is more susceptible to sunspot activity
58
When outside of VHF coverage
carriage of fully functioning HF is mandatory if only VHF equipped, plan routes that stay in VHF coverage
59
operations outside VHF coverage requires
two long range communication systems HF, SATVOICE, CPDLC Satvoice and cmdlc does not count north of 80N
