RTG Flashcards
(42 cards)
What is the standard IFR T/O minima?
300 foot ceiling, 1500m visibility.
Can standard IFR T/O minima be reduced?
Yes provided certain conditions are met, and chart plate states reduced take off minima available.
What are the requirements for reduced take off minima to 800m?
- RWY centreline markings or lights.
- NWS serviceable.
- 14 runway lights visible.
- Nominated departure alternate if required.
- Full length used.
- PIC can confirm minimum vis is available (if RVR is available, must be at or above minima on all zones).
- Operative autofeather system.
What are the requirements for reduced take off minima below 800m?
- Runway lighting has serviceable secondary power supply and automatic switch-over.
- PIC can confirm minimum visibility with lights, or RVR report.
- Both pilots carried out sim training for reduced vis take off in sim in last 13 months.
- Left seat pilot must be PF
- Max Crosswind component 20 knots.
Uncontrolled airspace Separation?
Standard 1000ft vertically, 10nm horizontally.
In uncontrolled airspace when passing opposite direction traffic how much distance do you need once traffic has passed to climb through its level?
5 nm
In uncontrolled airspace when following another IFR aircraft what height do you have to remain above until the preceding aircraft is visual?
1000ft above MAP altitude.
Uncontrolled separation on departure?
1 min of separation provided tracks are 45 degrees apart. If less than, use 10nm or can be reduced to 1 min IF aircraft in front goes 1000ft vertically higher.
In uncontrolled airspace who has right of way?
Arriving aircraft has right of way over departure, or the lower aircraft always will.
Can bags be stored on a seat?
Yes provided they are secured with a safety belt.
Max carry on weights?
7kg for standard (3kg tolerance), 14kg for premium customers (1kg tolerance) however a single item should not exceed 10kg.
Can firearms be carried on board?
Yes, restrictions apply as per RTG, need high level approval and weapon and ammo must be stored in approved carrying case.
Can dogs be in the cabin?
Yes, if they are a ‘service dog’. Not seated in emegency exit. Other animals are in the cargo hold and NOTOC will be issued.
Can a circling approach be done at night?
No, daytime only UNLESS specifically approved in the RTG 2 or an emergency.
Lowest height for circling approach?
MDA OR 1,000ft AAL, whichever is higher.
Minimum visibility for a circling approach?
The higher of the published minima or 5,000m.
When can you descend on a circling approach?
- Visual reference can be maintained throughout the approach.
- Landing threshold/approach lights/ other idenfiable markings of approach end of runway are visible.
- Aircraft can make continuous descent to land using normal rates of descent.
What to do for a MAP of a circling approach?
Make a climbing turn towards the landing end of runway and execute the published missed approach procedure.
Are VFR Operations permitted?
No (other than a proving flight in the circuit at night..?)
What are the company recent experience requirements?
- Type evacuation training, dangerous goods, AVMED, CRM, Security and Type refresher training.
Operational Competency Assessment?
- Each pilot passes a line check every 12 months, covering route and aerodrome proficiency.
- Sim check every 6 months covery normal, non normal and emergency procedures.
- Ground course every 12 months.
What is the company fuel policy?
Taxi Fuel
A - B Fuel (Take off, SID Climb, Cruise, Descent, STAR, Approach, MAP), inc 6% contigency or 5mins
B - C Fuel (SID, Climb, Cruise, Descent, STAR, App), inc 3% contigency,
+ 30 minutes holding fuel at C
MUST always have 60 mins fuel holding at B (XTRA HOLD).
Does fuel burn include contigency?
No.
Can Air NZ aircraft assist with SAR?
Yes, in limited capacity, as long as it does not adversely affect the safety of the flight, fuel is considered, altitude shouldn’t need to be changed, DO NOT descend below MSA, file an OSR.
