Ops Manual Flashcards
Can Cargo be carried on a unoccupied seat or stretcher?
Yes, if the total weight does not exceed 77kg and is restrained by a approved restraint system, must not obstruct emergency exit. Passenger safety harness is not a approved restraint system
RFDS Aircraft shall not be started for any purpose within these distances
5 metres of an sealed building
15m of a exposed public area
8m of a unsealsed building (below 5700kg MTOW)
15m of a unsealed buliding (above 5700kg MTOW)
8m of another aircraft.
You must attached a copy of the Aviation Risk Matrix if the ARM score is above?
6
The take off phase is deemed to end at how many feet above the runway?
1500
Who can perform a Daily Aircraft Inspection?
Pilot in command who are type rated for the aircraft type and have a RFDS Mainteance Authority and a LAME licensed in either the airframe of engine category
If control locks are not fitted, the aircraft must be inspected by a LAME if the wind speed exceeds what?
35kts
For RNP2 routes not shown on Australian charts, the area to be considered for LSALT should be what?
5 nautical mile within an area surrounding and including the departure point, the destination and each side of track
VFR alternate minima?
Cloud more then scattered below 1500ft, visibility less then 8km, aerodrome forecast not available or is provisional
Is a strip run required for Day Operations
No requirement
At night can you waive a strip run?
For high priority cases yes, in consultation with the other crew, DTO and SSM, for lessor priority taskings a alternate aerodrome may be required.
Take off Minima?
-0 feet and 800 metres visibility
-0 feet and 550m if,
-runway has illuminated runway lighting and spacing not in excess of 60m
-secondary power supply with a switchover of 1 second or less
-if non controlled aerodrome has to by day where the carriage or radio is mandatory
How to judge distance for take off during the day in reduced visibility
runways 18m wide or greater have centreline markings 30 metres long and 30 metres apart making 60 metres from one marking to the start of the next.
-Therefore 10 markings = 600m
Stabilized Approach criteria are?
No later then 500ft
-Landing gear down
By no later then 300ft
-Flaps set for landing
-Aircraft aligned with the runway for straight in runways
-Aligned +-15 degrees for a circling approach
-Airspeed VREF + 20 and VREF -0
-Less then 1000 feet per mintue descent rate
-Power settings no less then 220ft pounds
At 50ft
-Stabilised at VREF, +10, -0
-Positioned to make a normal landing in the touchdown zone
What is contingency fuel?
Contingency Fuel is calculated at either the greater of 10% of the fuel required for take-off, climb, cruise and descent or 5 minutes at the aircraft holding speed at 1500 feet above the aerdrome elevation. This includes fuel for flight to an alternate if required.
Fixed reserve fuel is?
Fixed reserve is an amount of fuel expressed as a period of time (30 minutes) holding at 1500 feet above the runway. RFDS carries and additional 10 minutes for added safety. Making 40 minutes in total
Additional Fuel is?
Must be carried to cover loss of pressurisation, engine failure, proceed to a alternate, fly for 15 minutes at holding speed at 1500 feet above the runway,
In addition for RFDS operations 30 minutes of fuel is to be carried when reliant on a responsible person to mitigate PAL failure.
Weather forecasts required?
-Aerodrome forecast for the desination and if required an alternate
One of the following
-Flight forecast
-GAF
-SIGWX above 10000feet
-Wind and temp
Fore a flight to a aerodrome without a Instrument approach the minimum is a GAF
