Flight Operations

Question 1

What is the OCH

Answer 1

Obstacle clearance height above runway level, taking into account height lost whilst conducting a go around

Question 2

Minimum height rule

Answer 2

No less than 1000ft above highest obstacle within 5nm

Question 3

What coloured lights for obstacles

Answer 3

> 150m = high intensity flashing white day and night

<150 but > 300ft = medium intensity steady red by night

Question 4

Instrument approach chart MSA

Answer 4

1000ft within 25nm of the homing facility

Question 5

Cruising levels

Answer 5

0-179 = odd thousands

180-359= even thousands

Question 6

Why do flight level separations increase to 2000ft above FL290 in non RVSM

Answer 6

Due to altimeter errors as the air is less dense

Question 7

Requirement for the lowest useable en route flight level

Answer 7

500ft above absolute minimum altitude

Question 8

When are mid point and stop end rvr values reported

Answer 8

-When they are less than the touchdown zone and <800m
-when they are less than 400m

Question 9

Standard circuit direction

Answer 9

Left

Question 10

Rate 1, 2, 3 turns

Answer 10

Rate 1 = 3degs per sec

Rate 2 = 6 degs per sec

Rate 3 = 9 degs per sec

Question 11

Wind direction and speed when descending

Answer 11

Backs and slows

Question 12

ICAO weight categories

Answer 12

Heavy = more /equal to 136,000kg
Medium = >7000kg, <136,000kg
Light = 7000kg or less

Question 13

Separation times final approach

Answer 13

Medium behind heavy = 2 min
Light behind heavy = 3min
Light behind medium = 3min

Question 14

When can you descend on an NDB procedure

Answer 14

-when are the descent point defined on the procedure
-within 5degrees of the ADF

Question 15

When can you descend on the glide path

Answer 15

When cleared for the procedure

Captured the localiser within 5 degs

Question 16

ROD calculation for glideslope 3 deg

Answer 16

5 x ground speed

Question 17

Minimum rvr for take off

Answer 17

150m (some places 125m) when high intensity lights used

Question 18

Emergency radio frequencies

Answer 18

121.5 or 243.00

Question 19

Mode C transponder malfunction code

Answer 19

0000

Question 20

IFR conspicuity code

Answer 20

2000

Question 21

Typical IFR position report

Answer 21

ID
Position and time
Level
Next position and estimate

Question 22

How to give way

Answer 22

Turn right and pass behind

Question 23

How is CAT II or III holding point shown

Answer 23

Set back from normal holding point, 2 parallel lines with ladder marking between

Question 24

How to fly approach if windshear suspected

Answer 24

Higher than normal approach speed to compensate for loss of energy

Question 25

Two types of de icing fluid

Answer 25

Type 1 = unthickened, high glycol content. Limited freezing protection Type 2 = thickened, minimum glycol 50%, good protection too

Question 26

Performance effects of wing contamination

Answer 26

-reduced stalling AOA -increased stalling speed -reduced maximum lift capability -reduced lift at a given AOA, especially higher angles

Question 27

Time of useful consciousness with hypoxia

Answer 27

20,000ft = 30min+ 30,000ft = 1-2 min 35,000ft = 30 - 60sec 40,000ft = 15-30sec

Question 28

9 core competencies

Answer 28

-problem solving and decision making -leadership and team work -communication -knowledge -flight path manual -flight path automation -situational awareness - work load management -application of procedures

Question 29

Answer 29

Localiser only, SRA (0.5nm), VOR/DME

Question 30

System minima non precision approach 300ft MDH

Answer 30
