Answer 3

accomplished on stand or after push and the park brake is set

OMA 8 28 2 a

Question 4

Unless otherwise promulgated, min height for turns is…

Answer 4

400 ft AAL

OMA 8 28 3 b

Question 5

To avoid a large storm, the flight crew should make decisions while still XX nm from it

Answer 5

40 nm

OMA 8 28 5 a

Question 6

Avoid all yellow, red, or magenta weather radar returns by at least XX nm

Answer 6

20 nm

OMA 8 28 5 a

Question 7

Avoid all GREEN, yellow, red, and magenta weather radar returns of cells taller than 28,000 ft by at least XX nm

Answer 7

20 nm

OMA 8 28 5 a

Question 8

Cells exceeding XXXXX ft should be considered extremely hazardous and further separation (in addition to the 20 nm) should be used

Answer 8

35,000 ft

OMA 8 28 5 a

Question 9

If the top of cell is at or above XXXXX ft, do not overfly it to minimise the possibility of encountering turbulence

Answer 9

25,000 ft

OMA 8 28 5 a

Question 10

Do not attempt to penetrate a cell or clear its top by less than XXXX ft vertically, otherwise the aircraft may encounter severe turbulence

Answer 10

5,000 ft

OMA 8 28 5 a

Question 11

Windshear encountered on take-off or approach must be reported to ATC immediately by R/T if considered a hazard, giving details of

Answer 11

height and severity

Question 12

Severe windshear is considered to be uncontrollable changes from normal steady flight conditions below XXXX ft AGL, in excess of the following:

Answer 12

• 15 kts indicated airspeed.
• 500 fpm vertical speed.
• 5° pitch attitude
• 1 dot displacement from the glideslope/glidepath.
• Unusual thrust levels for a significant period of time.

Question 13

On departure, if severe windshear is reported or forecast… If the nature or severity of the windshear cannot be determined, what MUST be used

Answer 13

DO NOT TAKEOFF Full thrust must be used

Question 14

Reduced thrust may be used if any windshear expected during or after take-off is caused by strong winds not associated with…

Answer 14

CBs or frontal activity

Question 15

Windshear Go-around

On aircraft fitted with aural windshear warning systems, if a GPWS “Windshear” warning is received, a windshear Go-Around must be carried out.

Exceptionally, in conditions of extreme turbulence associated with strong winds and NOT XXX or YYY, a warning may be treated as advisory provided that this warning has been anticipated, briefed for in the Approach Briefing and appropriate allowance made (speed increase?).

Answer 15

Cb or frontal activity

Question 16

If a significant temperature inversion is forecast or there is reasonable evidence of its presence owing to conditions (i.e. XXX - 3 points) and the temperature is above YYY, ZZZ should be added to the reported tower temperature in order to calculate RTOW and applicable reduced thrust.

Answer 16

clear, calm, conditions at night

ISA + 15°C

3°C

Question 17

In order that incapacitation is detected before it becomes operationally critical all Crew Members should suspect a subtle incapacitation if there is no response to: (2 answers)

Answer 17

• Two verbal communications, or
• Any verbal communication associated with a significant deviation from an SOP or a standard flight profile.

Question 18

If a pilot appears to be in any way incapacitated for no obvious reason, the flight crew should …

Answer 18

don oxygen masks without delay

Question 19

Operations on runways equipped with rigged arrester cables:

Landing aircraft will cross over the approach cable (which must be XXX) at high speed and the overrun cable (which must be YYY) at a much lower speed, as such the landing distance available (LDA) is ZZZ

When taxying over a “Rigged and Up” cable, avoid the nose wheel striking the rubber donuts and do not exceed a maximum taxi speed of AA kts.

Answer 19

Rigged and Down

Rigged and Up

LDA not reduced

25 kts

OMA 8 28 8 e

Question 20

Fuel Jettison

What 3 items must be entered in the Aircraft Maintenance Log and in an ASR following fuel jettison?

Answer 20

The time and place of jettison, and estimated quantity of fuel jettisoned

OMA 8 28 9 b

Question 21

For all aircraft types, any fire shall be considered
as a full emergency, and a XXX call will be made

Answer 21

Mayday

Question 22

In all cases of a contained engine failure, a XXX call will be made on two engined aircraft

Answer 22

PAN

Question 23

The definition of MAYDAY and PAN:

Answer 23

• “Mayday”: a condition of being threatened by serious and/or imminent danger and of requiring immediate assistance.

• “PAN”: a condition concerning the safety of an aircraft or other vehicle, or of some person on board or within sight, but which does not require immediate
assistance.
