(Not 100% about this)
GDPM Chapter 2 (Clean Aircraft Concept)
This means an aircraft must not takeoff when frost, ice, or snow is adhereing to the wings, control surfaces, engine inlets, and other critical surfaces of the aircraft.
What is a Cold Weather Preflight Inspection?
GDPM Chapter 2 (Cold Weather Preflight Inspection)
SOPM Chapter 4 Section 1 (Cold WX Operations)
An external walk-around by the flight deck crew used to detect the presence of frost, ice, or snow on critical surfaces from which the requirement for deicing/anti-icing is determined. This inspection consists of a tactile and/or visual check.
When does a Cold Weather Preflight Inspection need to be performed?
SOPM Chapter 4 Section 1 (Cold WX Operations)
- The OAT is 5C or less
- The wing fuel temp is 0C or less
- Atmospheric conditions conducive to icing exist
- The a/c has remained overnight and may have frozen contaminants due to exposure to frost or precipitation, which could involve the entier airframe
- On any through flight where residual ice from the inbound flight may have accumulated on airframe surfaces or components
- Cold soak ice is suspected in the fuel tank area
If it’s 5 degrees or colder, the preflight inspection must take place within what timeframe?
SOPM Chapter 4 Section 1 (Cold WX Operations)
Anytime the termperature is 5C or colder, the preflight inspection must take place within 30 minutes of pushback.

- Ensure there is no damage to the T2 sensor and the FADEC cooling inlet is clear.
- Clear of ice or snow
What is the proper preflight action of the Fan Blades according to the SOPM?
SOPM Chapter 4 Section 1 (External Inspection)
Fan Blades - CHECK
- Check for damaged fan blades and ensure fan is free to rotate.
- Check for damage on spinner.
Are there Nacelle Strakes on both sides of the engine?
SOPM Chapter 4 Section 1 (External Inspection)
Yes

- Downlock Springs - CONDITION
- Strut/Wheel Wells - CONDITION and NO LEAKS
- Ground Locking Pin - REMOVED
- Brakes Pin Indicators - CHECK
(Two upper and two lower per gear assembly)
What document would you refer to regarding missing static discharge wicks? Where is it located?

It includes:
- En route burn
- GA/Alternate (most distant)

- Reserve Fuel
When an alternate is listed on the release, does the alternate fuel value include GA fuel?
Dispatch Release Explanation Guide
Yes
Engine Failure Procedures (EFP) are denoted by abbreviations such as DT, LT, RT, and Special. What is the difference between a standard and special EFP?
Performance Handbook Section 2.0 Takeoff
Standard EFP is flown when engine failure occurs during takeoff and no special procedure exists. First turn can be made at 1,000’ AFE.
- Below 1,000 AFE (IMC): Clime straight ahead to 1,000’ AFE, then commence turn to NAVAID or heading as listed on runway analysis page using max bank angle appropriate for aircraft speed.
- Below 1,000 AFE (VMC): Climb straight ahead to 1,000’ AFE. Return to land visually or complete IMC procedure.
- 1,000 or more AFE (IMC): Commence turn to NAVAID or heading as listed on runway analysis page using maximum bank angle appropriate for aircraft speed.
- 1,000 or more AFE (VMC): Return to land visually or complete IMC procedure.
Special EFP are provided when Standard Engine Failure Takeoff Procedures cannot be used due to obstacle requirements. Special procedures are designed to only provide procedures and information that differ from Standard Procedures.
First turn can be made below 1,000’ AFE on specials.
If following a Special EFP and Radar Vectors are not available, at what altitude can the crew proceed on course?
Performance Handbook Section 2.0 Takeoff
In IMC, if radar vectors are not available, comply with the special procedure until 3,000’ AFE at which time you may proceed on course (as applicable).
Takeoff in IMC (ceiling <1,000’ and <3SM) and ATC provides a radar vector, no turns shall be commenced below what altitude?
Performance Handbook Section 2.0 Takeoff
400’ AFE
Can a pilot turn the airplane with the above conditions if an Instrument or Special Departure procedure requires it?
Performance Handbook Section 2.0 Takeoff
Yes
The RWY is reported as WET, what does this mean?
Performance Handbook Section 2.0 Takeoff
A runway is considered wet when more than 25% of the runway surface area, within the length and and the width being used, is covered by any visible dampness or water 1/8 in (3mm) or less in depth.
