Verify all of the takeoff data and FMS data and run another runway / performance change checklist and before takeoff checklist.
56
With close in tight turns right after departure, wait until_____ before calling for the climb sequence.
the turn is completed
57
What does "optimized V2" mean?
Simply, that V1 and V2 will be automatically increased when runway length, weight, weather, and terrain permit, in order to pick up a slightly higher lift off speed off the runway.
58
Best angle of climb is___
Green dot
59
Best rate of climb is____
Green dot plus 50 (approximation)
60
What is the difference between Maximum Range Cruise (MRC) and Long Range Cruise (LRC)?
- MRC= Furthest possible range | - LRC= Somewhat faster cruise speed compared to MRC, with only 1% more fuel burned.
61
How does the FMS calculate ceiling altitude in perf data?
It calculates the highest altitude where you could still maintain 300 FPM at your current airspeed. (Slow down, and the FPM potential goes up. So will your service ceiling)
62
Skywest minimum holding speeds
6,000' and below: 200 knots Above 6,000': 210 knots
63
FAA Maximum holding speeds
Sea Level - 6,000': 200 6,001' - 14,000': 230 14,001'+: 265
64
How do you shed ice in moderate to severe icing if the engine vibrations are high?
Pull the power to idle on one engine, then rev it to 70% for 10-30 seconds. Then do the same on the other engine.
65
What is drift down speed? (engine failure at altitude)
Green dot
66
What is the engine failure in flight procedure?
The drift down is essentially all automatic. It will bug green dot, hold altitude until speed decays to green dot, set CON, and DD autothrottle mode. It frees you up to do things like declare an emergency, run the QRH, and prepare for diverting.
67
What weather is required to accept a LAHSO?
``` -1,000 ft and 3 SM (If PAPI or VASI inop, it becomes 1,500' and 5 SM) -Tail wind less than 3 knots -No windshear reported -Dry runway ``` (or just say unable to any of that BS)
68
1000' HAT is when you need to be stable by for a straight in approach, what about a circle to land?
500' HAT or MDA whichever is lower
69
If the approach minimums are a DA (baro), round up to the nearest _____
10 ft increment
70
If the approach minimums are RA (CAT II), round up to the nearest ______
5 ft increment
71
If the approach minimums are an MDA, (no ballnote and not a LOC), set the MDA plus ______.
50 ft.
72
If the approach minimums is a LOC approach, set published MDA rounded up_____
100 ft increment
73
What approach category must be used when selecting circle to land minimums?
Cat D
74
For a circle to land set the published MDA for Cat D, but never less than _______
1,000 ft HAA rounded up to the nearest 100' increment
75
Visibility for a circle to land approach must never be less than ______
3SM
76
Can we use the an MDA as if it were a DA?
Yes, only if there is a ballnote "Only Authorized operators may use VNAV DA (H) in lieu of MDA (H). (May not be used on a LOC approach).
77
Regarding setting Vap, is there any difference between HOW we calculate the additive if it is a normal landing or ice speeds/CAT II?
No difference, it is still just Vap=Vref + 1/2 steady state+gust factor. (The only difference is that normal speeds the minimum is +5, ice speeds/CATII is +0) (Both have a maximum of Vref+20)
78
What is the minimum and maximum additive for calculating Vap when you have a Vref NEW?
+0 to +20 | Most instructors seem to want you to just duplicate Vref for Vap when dealing with a Vref NEW
79
What are the stabilized approach "gates"?
1. ) By 1500' or FAF whichever occurs first: Gear down, Flap 3, Speed 180 or less 2. ) At 1,000' HAT: Speed +15 to -5 of Vap, no greater than 1,000 FPM, on lateral/vertical profile, fully configured, before landing checklist complete 3. ) By 500' HAT: Speed within the bug, thrust not at idle
80
When its extremely cold and you are on a BARO/VNAV path (not LPV and not an ILS), will you be closer to terrain or further?
Colder means shallower glidepath, closer to terrain. High to low, look out below.
81
You must apply TEMP COMP when:
1. ) The airport info (10-7) page has "Cold Temperature airport" in a blue bar and the OAT is listed. If the temp is below that, you must temp comp all approaches on all segments for that airport. 2. ) The airport temp is outside the limits in the remarks section ON THE APPROACH PLATE 3. ) ALL foreign approaches when its colder than -30C
82
Before applying temp comp, you must advise ATC and tell them______
That you require temperature compensation for cold weather operations. Tell them what altitudes you will require for the initial intercept altitude or fix, intermediate fix, and missed approach holding point. (if being vectored to final tell them altitude you need for the first fix you will cross, to avoid having to climb back up)
83
Don't rely on a visual glide slope indicator (VASI or PAPI) past _____ miles
4 (VASI) 3 (PAPI)
84
Do you press APP mode for an RNAV visual?
Yes
85

LPV approaches are prohibited when the flight director is off. True or false?
True
88
An RNP with an RF leg in the FAS requires:
- speed 165 or less to DA - Flap 5 - Cat D minima - Discontinue procedure
89
Are there provisions written in the SOPM that allow the PIC to make the decision to simply land if a mechanical failure occurs in flight and on final approach? Or is it always a required go around to then run a QRC/QRH?
- There is language stating that the PIC can just simply continue to land (generally if within 1,000' HAT but not specific) for mechanical irregularities. - There is language discussing an engine failure on final (simply add 15-20 knots and land) - Ultimately, do what is most safe
90
How do you fly an LDA approach with no glideslope?
Same exact procedures as a LOC approach
91
Can an FO fly a circle to land approach?
No-CA only
92
What airspeed is bugged when you press the TOGA button on a go around?
Vref + 20
93
How do you conduct a discontinued approach? (not the full RNP discontinue. But if for example tower says go around, and you are still on a 3 mile final)
- Deselect APP - Manual speed (200 is a good start) - Set appropriate altitude and FLCH - HDG or sequence missed approach if no other instructions given - Set go around flaps - Gear up - Climb sequence after takeoff checklist
94
What if you get an EGPWS warning, but it is verified to be erroneous and the runway is in sight?
You can continue, no MX write up required
95
During the shutdown checklist, the normal flow is to set the parking brake and leave it set. If the brakes are very hot, you are allowed to release the parking brake to help with cooldown. Before releasing the parking brake, you must see_____
The chocks in signal

the aircraft has reached acceleration altitude, flaps retracted, and established in a stable climb at VFS.
98
What is SOPM minimum fuel?
Cannot accept any undue delay, (approaching landing with less than reserve fuel). SKW says: 2,250lb... I'll stick with 2500. (Landing with NO LESS than 45 minutes of fuel. Anything under 45 minutes of fuel upon landing should be reported as min fuel. It is not how much fuel you currently have, but how much fuel you will land with.)
99
What is emergency fuel?
Less than 30 minutes of fuel remaining UPON TOUCHDOWN. Not currently onboard. That number is 1,500 lb.
