No flight shall continue an approach and landing past the 500 foot AAE Arrival Gate, unless the 1,000-foot gate requirements continue to be met, and;
- Airspeed stabilized +10/-5kts
- Thrust stabilized
- Rate of descent stabilized, not abv 1000’ a min.
- Final ldg check complete
This type of landing indicates a condition exists that requires a high alert level. The Cabin Crew remains ready for a possible emergency situation by completing silent reviews, being alert to all PA announcements, and being ready to evacuate on the Pilot-in-Command’s command.

- Brake temperature exceeds 500ºC
During Urgent Communications to Flight Attendants, what communication shall be made from the Flight Crew to flight attendants to initiate evacuation?
Evacuate, evacuate
When the RVR or reported visibility is less than 2600 feet or 1/2 statute mile respectively, how should Flight Crews positively identify the assigned runway?
- VISUALLY VERIFY CORRECT RUNWAY NUMBER, TUNE LOC AND VERIFY CENTRED
When, having committed to land at a specific aerodrome (i.e. operating NAIFR or having dropped the alternate), the pilot calculates that any change to the existing clearance to that aerodrome may result in landing with less than planned Reserve fuel, what statement shall the PIC use to advise ATC?
‘Minimum fuel’
Refer to the pictures below (Emergency Hand Signals) to answer the following. Which of the following emergency hand signals are to recommend a stop (halt evacuation or measure in process)?
arms crossed in an X
When shall an altitude cross-check between Flight Crew members NOT be made?
- If the FAF is too far back to be a useful or appropriate cross check
Which of the following is NOT a required visual reference according to the FOM Approach Definitions section?
- RWY or RWY marking
- RWY threshold or threshold marking
- Touchdown zone or touchdown zone marking
- Approach light
- Approach slope indicator : VASI, PAPI
- RWY identification light
- Threshold & RWY end light
- Touchdown zone light
- Parallel rwy edge light
- Runway centreline light
Upon exposure to ground-based lasers, Flight Crew members should NOT:
- Look at laser source, or rub eyes
Although flight over the top of thunderstorms is not recommended, if it is necessary, how high should crews overfly the storm?
- 5000’
* If Wind abv storm 100kts or greater: 10000’
A flight crew member incapacitation alert condition exists if:
- Crew does not respond intelligently to two communications
If a major fuel spill occurs, the Flight Crew shall advise Flight Dispatch, ATC, the Cabin Crew and ____________.
- Passengers: ‘’Deplane immediately and leave your personal belonging’’ Stop fueling, shut down APU, deplane passenger
True or false? Reduced thrust (assumed or flex temperature method) take-offs are not permitted on contaminated runways.
True
Flights will NOT take-off or conduct an approach at a station experiencing what type of environmental conditions? _____.
- Moderate/heavy freezing rain, Hail, Ice pellets, Microburst, downburst
A PDI (Post Deicing Inspection) is required whenever the aircraft is deiced outside North America and _________?
- Deice with one truck
- Commence with 2 trucks finish with one
- There is doubt about effectiveness of de icing
The lateral boundaries of RVSM airspace are shown on High-Level charts and generally exists between FL ____ and FL ______.
- 290 and 410
At a minimum, how many hours prior to flight time shall Air Canada flight crew members abstain from consuming alcohol?
12
True or False. For Ice Pellets and Small Hail Conditions, a PCI may be used to extend any allowance time
- False. These precipitation types can penetrate the fluid and contaminate the wing underneath.
Critical actions include those items that if performed incorrectly would cause an aircraft limitation to be exceeded, or an ATC clearance to be breached, or an irreversible change to an aircraft system. Some of the critical actions that shall be cross-checked by Flight Crew members include:
- Configuration change
- HDG, alt, altimeter & airspeed setting
- Transfer of control
- Change to FMS/FMGS, MCDU & radio nav aids, during departure or approach
- Perf. Calc. Including entries in FMS/FMGS, MCDU
- Actuation of system switch/control that may cause irreversible change to system
