Answer 2

-Free from visible moisture
- Not Contaminated
(Performance is calculated without the benefit of thurstreversers)

Question 3

What is considered a Contaminated Runway?

Answer 3

Runway is contaminated if more than 25% of its surface is covered:
- A layer of fluid contaminant, deeper than 3mm
- A hard contaminant
(Compacted Snow, Ice (cold and dry), Wet Ice)

Answer 7

Can only be upgraded from RWCC 0 or 1 and to a max of 3.
Use the GRF Takeoff table to find the equivalents from the SNOWTAM

Question 8

What to enter in Flysmart when RWCC is Downgraded (T/O)

Answer 8

Enter the Runway condition and the Downgraded RWCC.

Question 9

What are acceptable or contaminants on the aircraft for T/O?

Answer 9

• Thin layer of frost on the underside of the wing tank areas (3mm or less)
• A layer of thin hoard frost on the top of the fuselage

Question 10

Explain Icing contition

Answer 10

When temperateure is 10 degrees celsius or below and visible moisture is present, or contaminants on the ground that might be ingested to the engines.
Icing condition can be disregarded in Climb and Cruise when SAT is below -40 degrees.

Answer 13

Correct:
Altitudes between IF down to FDP (Final Descent point).
Also correct FPA in case of no Final App

Not Correct:
FAP/FAF
