What is the new (Oct 17 2018) distance for etops alternates at 330 kts

60 min

120 min

180 min

A

60 min - 458 nm

120 min - 878 nm

180 min - 1317 nm

(We are now using one distance for -8 and -9, and it uses a statistical average using average of
reference weights for flights when operating in the planned ETOPS area was used instead of t/o weight minus 1 hr)

Chime EICAS - .SELCAL Call in mic “Air Canada answering SELCAL” (Every time you get a new FIR you test SELCAL “Request SELCAL check”)
29
What is ADS -C
Automatic dependent surveillance contract -a way for ATC to pull data about the aircrafts position and performance (Requires no pilot input) Also called FANS 1/A

38
Where will the CPDLC auto transfer from CDQX
CZQX
39
When transfered to Gander Radio what is the call
Gander Radio, AC 846, CPDLC, Track N, Shanwick next, Request Frequencies. AC 846 check CPDLC on track N, Shanwick next, contact Gander for HF SELCAL check primary 5.616, secondary 6166, at 30W contact Shanwick primary 5686, back up 5688
40
How do we do a SELCAL check
Select HF Primary and request SELCAL check XXXX Gander Oceanic, AC 846, request SELCAL check AC 846, SELCAL checks Done every time new HF Freq is assigned to ensure correct address and system is working
41
When and how do we transfer to Shanwick Radio HF
approaching 30W expect a CPDLC message indication now logged on to Shanwick EGGX "Shanwick radio, AC 846, CPDLC, Track N (or Oceanic Exit Point if Random track) Request SELCAL ckeck XXXX" "AC 846, CPDLC, Domestic frequencies by CPDLC, Here is your SELCAL check"
42
Approaching the first domestic waypoint you will receive a CPDLC message advising what
"contact Shannon Control at 0300Z on 128.72 ACCEPT When green Cancel Follow the instructions
43
What information is required for crew change procedures or controlled rest on the flight deck. ATB Upon assuming flight deck duties, the returning flight crew member shall, as a minimum:
Speaker/Headset aircraft present position waypoint ahead next waypoint ATC communication (including CPDLC message and connection) Fuel check Cockpit scan to verify aircraft condition.
44
When the crew receives the uplink CPDLC message “SET MAX UPLINK DELAY VALUE TO [delayed message parameter] SECONDS” the PM shall:
1. Send a positive response to ATC by selecting ACCEPT 2. COMM/ATC/logon-status Enter the specified uplink delay as provided by ATC CPDLC uplink.
45
What are the new altimeter setting rules outside of Canada and US?
Outside of Canada and the United States we should now be setting standard pressure when cleared to a flight level and local altimeter setting when cleared to an altitude. There is one caveat to this. If there are crossing restrictions in a departure or arrival procedure the appropriate altimeter setting must be maintained until the restriction is satisfied at which point the altimeter can be reset as appropriate.
46
If a deviation from track is required to avoid weather and contact cannot be established with ATC or ATC is unable to provide a clearance to deviate or suggest a course of action, the Flight Crew shall take the following actions:
Deviate away from organized track Broadcast on 121.5 or 123.45 Monitor TCAS Lights on < 10nm stay at FL > 10nm if deviating north descend, south climb 300 ft When returning to assigned track, be at FL 10nm away If deviation without a clearance is required an ASR will be filed
47
What are the normal radio procedures for oceanic crossings
first frequency with Gander Oceanic will be VHF. The Crew will check in with – “Gander Radio, Air Canada 856, request frequencies, Shanwick next.” Gander Radio will provide two HF frequencies, a primary and a secondary. The Crew will switch to the primary HF frequency and check in with – “Gander Radio, Air Canada 856, request SELCAL check...” If the check is successful, then the Crew can respond with – “Air Canada 856, SELCAL checks” and deselect the audio of the HF radio, using SELCAL watch instead of a listening watch. After the SELCAL check is complete, Crews can select 121.5 and 123.45 on the VHF radios, since they are now using HF to stay with Gander Radio.
48
When doing the company 2 hr fuel check what has to be done
``` ETO ATO Winds Component AFOB AFOB - EFOB AFOB - MFOB Oil qty ```
49
Where can you find satcom codes (Inmarsat)
SATCOM CALL CODES can be found in the JeppFD-PRO. The information is accessed by selecting the blue information box in the applicable FIR; or selecting a boundary. under the NOTES section and is listed as IMARSAT SECURITY NUMBER with the applicable 6 digit code. They can also be found in the Jepp Manual General in the Enroute section, where it is titled: “INMARSAT Security Numbers (Short Codes) and SATCOM Voice (PSTN)”. The codes are listed by country.
50
How do we remove SLOP
DTO fix that slop is removed for, when it is the next waypoint (better way is to enter the start and finish for the SLOP)
51
How do we check the weather enroute
1- COMM/Company/weather/AF 2- Comm/company/weather/other weather AF/R/846
52
How do we check the ADS?
Comm/manager/ADS arm
53

55
What has to be done every time a new HF freq is made | After SELCAL check
Tuning, click mike once and a short tone is heard (This starts the antenna tuning process) 121.5 L 123.45 R To communicate with other a/c deviating for wx or emergencies
56
What are the three data link categories
ACARS CPDLC - controlled pilot datalink communications ADS-C - automatic dependent surveillance contract
57

60
Where can you get escape charts?
JeppFD-Pro JEP notes Company manuals
61
If we lose a GPS can we still continue with ETOPS
RNAV 10 YES RNAV 2 or 4 NO AOM vol 1
62
What do you have to do to each new HF freq
Key the mic once you will hear a short tone this starts the antenna tuning
63
What is a considerations when doing an oceanic deviation for wx
Do not exceed 21 nm while on CPDLC Waypoint sequencing will only occur when the aircraft is within 21 NM of the aircraft active flight plan route (as modified by any parallel offset that may have been entered). Therefore ADS-C waypoint change event report will not be transmitted automatically when the aircraft is outside these limits
64
How will you know if MEL affects ETOPS operational capability?
It will clearly state it in the MEL
65
When can you use the ETOPS 207 min distances?
