Q
- When is a takeoff alternate required?
A
- If the weather conditions at the airport of takeoff are below landing minimums for that airport (or the CA’s landing minimums, if higher), or other operational conditions exist that would preclude a return to the takeoff airport, the Flight Release must specify an alternate airport for takeoff.
- Lowest landing minimums at your airport of departure (including CAT 2 and 3). Typically 600 RVR.
Source: GOM 5-72
2
Q
- What requirements and distance does the takeoff alternate need to comply with?

3
Q
- What phases of flight require use of headsets and boom microphones?
GOM 5-4 and GOM 5-21
A
• Use of headsets and boom microphones for communications with ATC is mandatory during critical phases of flight and during all operations below 18,000ft MSL.
4
Q
- If an approach requires TACAN equipment, may that procedure be used if it is in the FMS database?
A
• TACAN avionics are NOT installed on any KA aircraft. If clearance requires utilization of a TACAN system, including an approach utilizing TACAN as part of the Missed Approach Procedure (MAP), neither shall the clearance be accepted nor shall the procedure flown and the flight crew shall notify ATC of the inability to accept the clearance.
• An instrument approach that requires a TACAN system for a portion of the procedure may be accepted if the approach can be loaded from a current FMS database and all required fixes are included in the displayed procedure (including any MAPs).

Q
- Above what altitude must one pilot don and use oxygen when the other pilot is absent from his duty station?
FAR 121.333(c)(3), GOM 5-9, GOM Bulletin 21-24
A
If for any reason at any time it is necessary for one pilot to leave his station at the controls of the airplane when operating at flight altitudes above FL410, the remaining pilot at the controls shall put on and use his oxygen mask until the other pilot has returned to his duty station.
7
Q
- When must one pilot be on oxygen at all times? Should Normal or 100% oxygen be used?
FAR 121.333(c)(3), GOM 5-9, GOM Bulletin 21-24
A
Above 410
When using an oxygen mask solely due to altitude requirements, the system may be operated in the “Normal” mode to preclude an excessive use of oxygen. The system should be returned to 100% when the oxygen mask is no longer required or if smoke or fumes enter the cockpit

Circling approaches are not authorized, but circling maneuvers are.
Company pilots are not authorized to conduct circling maneuvers when the the ceiling is less than 1000 ft or the visibility is less than 3 SM or the weather is below the published landing minima for the circling maneuver (whichever is higher).
13
Q
- If visual reference is lost during a circling maneuver, describe the missed approach procedure.
GOM 5-137
A
If you lose visual references while circling to land from an instrument approach, you must follow the missed approach specified for the original procedure (unless ATC specifies an alternate missed approach procedure).
To become established on the prescribed missed approach course, make an initial climbing turn toward the landing runway and continue the turn until established on the missed approach course.
14
Q
- What is the maximum distance from the runway you may fly during a circling maneuver?
