(31 cards)
Takeoff alternate is needed when…
When conditions at departure airport are below CAT I landing minimum a TO alternate is required
What is the difference with the APU fire test when on DC power instead of AC
On DC power you get only the FIRE light and squib lights
When is an alternate brake check required and how do you do it
First flight of the day and on certain aircraft
Chalks in Yellow electric pump off Parking brake off Press brakes and look for between 2000-2700 psi Parking brake on
When is a full IR alignment required
First flight of the day
Crew change
International and Alaska
Class II navigation
GPS is not available and NAV aid coverage is poor along route
GPS is not available and flight time exceeds 3hrs
How close must a TO alternate be?
Within 1hr flying distance single engine at cruise or 330NM whichever is less
What do you do if you have an electrical failure during start
Engine master off
Engine manual dry crank
Engine mode select crank
Engine manual start PB on
Lowest CAT I minimums
1800 RVR
Lowest CAT II minimums
1000 RVR
Lowest CAT III minimums
300 RVR
Lowest TO minimums
500,500,500
Where to find lower than standard TO minimums
And when can they be used
10-9A
If standard TO minimums are published lower than standard minimums may be used per opspec but it minimums are published other than standard then those must be used
When is a destination alternate required
123 within one hour before or after arrival time the weather is less than 2000 ft or 3 miles (domestic)
123 the higher of 2000 ft or 1500 ft higher than IAP mins and 3 miles or 2 miles more than the IAP (flag)
When TS or severe icing is forecast within an hour at dest
Supplemental
Offline charter
GPS is the only AP at destination
International when only one runway or flight time over 6 hrs
What are alternate weather minimum requirements
The approach must not be listed as “Not authorized”
If there is one straight in or circling precision or non-precision approach add 400 ft and 1 mile to the required weather
It there are two straight in approaches add 200ft and 1/2 mile to the required weather
Exemption 3585
When the words “prob” “tempo” or “becmg” are used in the weather forecast and it puts the weather below requirements you can still dispatch if you…
Add another alternate
The weather can not be worse than 1/2 the required vis at dest as well as at the first alternates derived minimums
The weather the second alternate must be above derived minimums
You must have enough fuel to fly to the destination then fly to the furthest alternate and land and fly for an additional 45min
Circuit breaker reset policy
In flight do not reset any circuit breaker that is not necessary for the safe continuation of the flight
On the ground do not reset fuel pumps and all other resets coordinate with mcc

Which leading edge devices are ice protected
The 3 outer most slats
Define marginal weather
When the weather is within 100 ft or 1/2 mile of the minimums for the airport
Do you have antiskid if you lose normal braking
