50
What is the Accelerate Stop Distance Available (ASDA)
Runway length plus stopway length (if present) that is suitable for use by an airplane aborting a takeoff. ASDA could be reduced if there are obstacles off the departure end that would conflict with the runway safety area.
51
What is the Takeoff Run Available (TORA)
Runway length declared available and suitable for the ground run of an airplane taking off. Generally, this is the length of the pavement, although it could be less to satisfy runway protection zone requirements for obstacle clearance.
52
What is the Takeoff Distance Available (TODA)
The length of the takeoff runway available plus the length of the clearway, if provided. TODA will generally be equal to or greater than TORA.
53
What is a stopway?
A stopway is a defined rectangular area beyond the end of the runway prepared or suitable for use in lieu of runway to support an airplane without causing structural damage to the airplane during an aborted takeoff. A stopway is included in the ASDA declared distance for a runway.
54
What is Landing Distance Available (LDA)
The length of runway available for the ground run of an airplane for landing.
55
What is a displaced threshold?
A threshold located at a point on the runway other than the designated beginning of the runway. Displacement of a threshold reduces the length of runway available for landings.
56
What is the One-engine inoperative (OEI) takeoff continued (accelerate-go)?
This is the takeoff distance with a failed engine to include an initial climb to 35' if the runway is dry, or 15' if the runway is wet,
57
What is the All-engine operating takeoff distance?
This is the 115% of the take off distance to include an initial climb to 35' if the runway is dry
58
Describe the first segment climb?
This is a takeoff to include an engine failure and ends with the landing gear retracted.
59
Describe the second segment climb?
Second segment is climbing OEI at V2 from gear retraction until the aircraft's published level off (acceleration) height, not less than 400 feet.
60
Describe the third segment climb?
The third (transition) segment is not really a climb segment as this is where the aircraft is leveled off and accelerated through the takeoff flap/slat retraction speed. At the end of the third segment is where you reduce from takeoff power to maximum continuous thrust. The third segment acceleration height is no lower than 400 feet, but can be as high at 1500 feet.
61
Describe the fourth or final segment climb?
This begins once you have accelerated to the final segment climb speed (VFTO) and ends at 1500 feet AGL (minimum).
62
What is an approach climb?
Approach Climb is the FAA's certification terminology for a missed approach after an engine failure. During certification under FAR Part 25, aircraft must demonstrate the ability to meet a minimum net climb gradient (2.1% for a twin engine airplane; 2.4% for a three engine airplane) approach climb performance. That profile follows: One engine inoperative Landing gear up Flaps/slats in approach configuration
63
What is a landing climb?
The profile assumptions are all engines running, gear down, and flaps/slats in landing configuration. As with the other certification tests, the manufacturer must publish data demonstrating the conditions under which the aircraft can meet at least, for Landing Climb, a 3.2% climb gradient.
64
Describe the 60% rule for a dry runway
This requires that preflight planning shows that you can land within 60% of the LDA. This can be based on the following: 1. Using the most favorable runway in calm winds 2. Using the most probable runway based on predicted winds and the aircraft's ground handling characteristics.
65
Describe the 60% rule for a wet runway
This requires that whenever the destination runway is forecast to be wet or slippery at the time of arrival, 15% will be added to the required effective length for landing on a dry runway for preflight planning purposes. You must also add 15% to the 135 landing distance calculation when the visibility is less than 3/4 mile or RVR 4000 (required by Ops Spec C054).
66
Describe Eligible on Demand Operations (EODO)
FAR 135.4 defines a type of operator known as an Eligible on Demand Operation (EODO). An EODO may depart for and begin an instrument approach at an airport without approved weather reporting and use an 80% factor for landing performance instead of 60%. Following are the four requirements to be eligible to use EODO: 1. Two-pilot crew 2. Minimum flight crew experience 3. Pilot operating limitations 4. Crew pairing
67
Describe the Destination Airport Analysis Program (DAAP)
DAAP allows approved operators to increase the landing requirement to 80% of the available runway, as long as certain specific requirements are met. Using DAAP allows operators to access many of the smaller airports frequented by private aircraft and ensures that they are doing so in a safe manner.
68
Describe the restrictions with the Destination Airport Analysis Program (DAAP)
The following restrictions apply according to the Exclusive Jets GOM: 1. A PIC qualified crewmember will make the landing 2. If at the ETA at the destination the runway surface is expected to be contaminated, the runway length must be at least 115% of the minimum runway required for a normal factored landing using the 60% rule. 3. After reviewing all conditions, the PIC must determine the operation to be SAFE.
69
Can we use the Destination Airport Analysis Program (DAAP) with inoperative equipment?
Exclusive Jets will not utilize the privileges of the Destination Airport Analysis procedure should the aircraft have the following systems deferred per the FAA approved Minimum Equipment List: Anti-Skid System Thrust Reverse System Spoiler/Ground Spoiler System Flap System Any other system that could have a detrimental effect on the associated aircraft’s ability to stop on landing rollout.
70
When is an alternate NOT required?
When weather is above the modified 1-2-3 rule.
71
How often do pilots have to wear the oxygen mask?
1. Quick donning type mask above FL250 2. When 1 crew member leaves the flight deck above FL250, and use oxygen till the crew member returns. 3. Whenever a flight is operated above FL350, at least one crew member shall be wearing a mask.
72
What section of the Ops spec will you find the authorized regions we operate in?
Section B
73
What section of the Ops spec will you find the authorized approaches we can use?
Section C
74
If the PIC decides to take off VFR while trying to get the IFR clearance, what should they do?
Maintain VFR and get the clearance before they get 50 miles away.
75
What represents the mature stage of a thunderstorm?
Falling precipitation
76
What are the pilot response times with standby duty assignment?
90 min standard (60 min short call)
77
What is the policy regarding circling approaches?
1. No circling approaches to uncontrolled airports during the day. 2. Circling approaches to towered class D airport are allowed at night. 3. Must add 100' and 1/2 SM visibility.
78
What weights do we use for our passengers?
Solicited and add 10 lbs. Use judgement
79
What is a stabilized approach?
1. aircraft on the correct flight path 2. Only small changes are needed to maintain the flight path 3. The aircraft speed is not more than Vref +20, and not less than Vref. 4. In the proper configuration for landing 5. Sink rate is less than 1,000 fpm 6. Power setting is appropriate per the AFM 7. All briefings and checklists are completed 8. ILS approaches within 1 dot, and wings level by 300' AGL 9. Abnormal approaches require a special briefing.
