6
Q

Explain the Air Masses and the seasons they accompany?

A

SIBERIA AIR MASS (Cold & Dry)

  • Pushes out toward the sea of Japan in WINTER (DEC-FEB)
  • (Seiko-Toutei) High in the West, Low in the East, typical pressure pattern
  • West side Mountains- Snow clouds CB CU
  • East Side- Dry & Cold NW wind, Sunny days, frosty nights
  • HAZARDS- Snow, Ice, Cold WX ops

YOSUKU AIR MASS (Warm & dry)

  • SPRING (MAR-MAY)
  • Moves FM china making good WX over Japan
  • Nihonkai Low brings strong southerlies & cyclones develop to the north
  • First Storm of the season marking the end of winter/ start of Spring is called the “Haru-Ichiban”
  • HAZARDS- Strong SW X Wind, Bumpy conditions

OKHOTSK HIGH (Cool & Moist)

  • Appears in RAINY SEASON (Bai-U) (MAY-JUN)
  • Starts in south OGASAWARA HIGH brings warm air northward FM the pacific which mixes with the cold Air FM the OHOTSK HIGH in the North
  • The air masses linger to produce several weeks of Heavy Rainfall
  • Eventually the OGASAWARA High pushes the Bai U Front Northward and the Bai u season ends
  • HAZARDS- Heavy Rain, Thick Fog in North

OGASAWARA AIR MASS (Hot & Moist)

  • SUMMER (JUN-AUG)
  • Hot moist air streams flow FM the SE to the NW
  • Airmass thunderstorms form and dissipate quick, Orographic TS & Sea fog also develop
  • HAZARDS- TS, FG

EQUATORIAL AIR MASS (Warm & High Moisture)

  • Shurin / Akisame front (Autumn rain)
  • TYPHOON SEASON (AUG-OCT)
  • Classified Typhoon in Japan >34kts
  • Develop over Sea then dissipate quickly over land
  • HAZARDS- Right side has more wind as the side which it is moving is the strongest

FALL- (SEP-NOV), Continental & Oceanic High pressure areas tend to balance over Japan giving fine, steady weather patterns. After the Polar front moves south Cold air from the Siberian High controls the weather.

  • When leaving flight deck, brief and handover
  • Retain flight logbook and Gen Dec
21
Q

Destination Alternate Requirements?

A

Preflight:

  • 1 x alternate required in principle
  • 2 x alternates required if DEST weather forecast intermittently < LDG minima at ETA
    • Unless ALTN weather CIG > 1500ft and VIS > 5000m at ETA, then only require 1 ALTN

Inflight: Destination

  • If DEST weather forecast < LDG minima at ETA, Require additional ALTN to continue towards DEST
  • If additional ALTN can’t be selected & weather not forecast to improve at DEST, must change DEST
    • Not applicable if Able to HOLD until weather forecast to improve at DEST or:
    • The ALTN weather at ETA indicates CIG > 1500ft and VIS > 5000m or
    • The aircraft diverts to the ALTN

Inflight - Alternate

  • If ALTN weather forecast < ALTN minima, select a new ALTN or don’t continue to DEST unless:
    • Flight time < 6 hours and for at least 1 hour before and after ETA CIG > 2000ft or DH/MDH + 1500ft and VIS > 5000m or** **RVR/VIS + or 3200m
    • If neither options available - must change DEST (if ALTN can’t be selected without change to destination due fuel)

Inflight: Destination + Alternate

  • If both DEST and ALTN below company minima, select new DEST with new ALTN

Inflight: Other

  • If DEST closed temporarily, may continue taking consideration weather and fuel remaining until reopened
  • If safety may be interferred with, destinaton shall be changed
  • When safety of flight will be inteferred with by CBs, turbulence or NAV facilities, change route
22
Q

What is Field Limit Weight and Field length limit?

A

Field limit weight:

  • The least limit of Accelerate Stop, Accelerate Go, Two eng T/O dist
  • Maximum weight the Aircraft may take off from the selected field taking into consideration, temperature, RWY condition and altitude

Field Length Limit:

  • Maximum takeoff weight for runway available
  • The field length limit comprises several different events
  • As in the case of the Climb Limit, ambient conditions must be taken into account
  • In addition to temperature and pressure altitude, wind and runway slope must also be considered
23
Q

What is Climb limit weight?

A
  • The climb limit is the maximum weight at a particular altitude and temperature, at which the aircraft can meet the climb gradient requirements for takeoff (First, second, third and fourth)
24
Q

What is the Takeoff/ Landing distance, 280,000lbs?

A
  • Take-off (F5, D2, 25oC, 0ft) 5,900ft
    • 8-4-2-(213)
  • Landing (F30, Dry, with anti-skid) 4,900ft
    • 8-4-2-(203)
  • Optimum altitude (ECON cruise) 37,300ft/FL370
  • Maximum altitude 1.3G = 41,100ft, 1.5G = 37,900ft, ISA + 10 = 42,300ft, So FL410
25
Q

What is the aerodynamic advantage of optimum altitude?

A
  • Optimum altitude gives best fuel mileage for a given airspeed and weight
  • Max altitude is the altitude at which planned cruising airspeed is obtainable with thrust at MCRT with 0fpm residual climb capacity
  • So optimum is best efficient level for burn off fuel and gives some margins for turbulence & TCAS RA
26
Q

Why not fly at MAX Altitude?

A
  • Can’t do TCAS climb
  • No buffet margin
  • Less fuel efficient
27
Q

What’s the difference between fog and mist?

A
  • Fog = less than 1km (FG)
  • Mist = 1km-5km (BR- Baby Rain)
28
Q

What is ECON SPD today?

A
  • LRC compensating for wind
  • M.805 for today’s weight
29
Q

SPDS

A
  • ECON .805
  • LRC .800
  • MRC .79
30
Q

Can you change PCF?

A
  • Yes at PIC discretion you can change PCF
  • eg. to increase the ACL (Allowable cabin load)
31
Q

What does changing your thrust rating do to your VMCG?

A
  • VMCG increases with higher thrust due to the rudder deflection required for the higher thrust setting
  • Hence why MAX thrust increases RWY length
32
Q

What is Critical DME?

A
  • DME which the loss of would create a DME gap
33

  • The dispatcher
  • EDCT will only be printed when EDCT would be issued until CFP is made by dispatcher
  • Otherwise the area for memo
35
Q

What is OEW?

A
  • ANA basic empty weight plus satndard operational items
