Study Notes
EFB
- The minimum iPad battery charge required before a daily flight sequence is fully charged near 100%.
- Required software and apps include Apple iOS, Jeppesen Flight Deck Pro X, Comply365, and AA HOT, each version must be updated by the compliance date on the EFB STAR.
- The EFB STAR contains current updates.
- Jepp charts and "Comply" items within comply365 must be current by the compliance date.
- Checking the iPad for storage compliance is part of complying with required apps.
- All pilots are required to check for updates and verify successful EFB updates prior to the first flight.
Dispatch Release/Flight Planning
- Required release items include aircraft registration, flight number, flight type, airports (origin, destination, alternate 1, alternate 2), and takeoff fuel.
- Minimum fuel must be declared if projected fuel consumption will result in landing with less than 45 minutes of fuel remaining.
- Declaring minimum fuel does not guarantee priority handling but implies little to no delays.
- Emergency fuel must be declared if projected fuel consumption will result in landing with less than 30 minutes of fuel remaining.
Ramp/Takeoff Fuel
- Ramp fuel is the sum of takeoff fuel, tanker fuel, and taxi fuel.
- Ramp fuel tolerance is +/- 500 lbs as long as it is not below takeoff fuel + taxi fuel.
- Takeoff fuel is calculated as burn, reserve, alternate, and contingency fuel.
- Fuel burn is the sum of climb, cruise, descent, and instrument approach at destination fuel requirements.
- Contingency fuel accounts for anticipated delays, such as traffic delays, holding and missed approaches.
- Tanker fuel provides additional fuel needed for APU burn at the gate and unusual ground delays.
Minimum Contingency Fuel
- Minimum contingency fuel requirement is 330 lbs.
- Minimum tanker fuel requirements for CRJ700 is 937 lbs and for CRJ900 is 1082 lbs.
- Minimum reserve fuel requirements for CRJ700 is 2100 lbs and for CRJ900 is 2220 lbs.
Weather (Dispatch Release)
- Aircraft registration, flight number, type, minimum fuel (takeoff), and airports (origin/destination/alternate 1/alternate 2) are required items for a dispatch release.
- At the destination, the weather must be at or above the minimums for the anticipated approach.
- A takeoff alternate is needed when the departure airport weather condition drops below the lowest available CAT 1 approach minimums.
- The takeoff alternate is located within one hour of the departure airport, based on normal cruise speed.
- The weather required for the takeoff alternate is not reducible.
- The lowest visibility RVR allowable for a captain is 500.
- No, all three RVRs reporting systems can be nonoperative, and a pilot is still able to takeoff.
Weather (Dispatch Release)
- Additional notes on weather criteria related to alternate airports and minimum weather conditions needed for a safe flight. Includes further detail on weather requirements for different alternate airports, conditions needed to initiate a CAT II approach, and references to quick reference documents for further detail on alternate airport setup and briefings.
TLR (Performance)
- MFPTW stands for Maximum Flight Plan Takeoff Weight. It considers all flight planning limits but excludes Maximum Runway Takeoff Weight (MRTW). It takes into account MTOW and MLDW + planned fuel burn.
- MFPTW cannot be exceeded, and compliance with structural and operating weight limits is critical to prevent aircraft damage during flight. Minimums will cover Landing and Takeoff weights.
- Runway may be considered wet if there is sufficient moisture causing reflectivity.
- PMRTW is Planned Max Runway Takeoff Weight.
- The takeoff weight is subject to MELs (Minimum Equipment List) and CDLs (Consecutive Daily Limits) as well as weight penalties and Anti-ice configuration.
- PQNH is Planned altimeter setting.
- The takeoff roll conditions and specific procedures to follow.
MEL/CDL
- (D) refers to Dispatch specific procedures.
- (M) refers to Maintenance specific procedures.
- (O) refers to Operations specific procedures.
- (M/FC) refers to Maintenance specific procedures that can be accomplished by a qualified flight crew member.
- System reset procedures can be found in the document collection of MEL/SR/NEF/GNG/CDL (Comply365 application)
- Different system reset procedures may exist if the aircraft is in the gate vs off the gate.
- MELs and CDLs are on the dispatch release.
- Category A can be deferred by the MEL.
- Category B can be deferred for 3 consecutive days.
- Category C can be deferred for 10 consecutive days.
- Category D can be deferred for 120 consecutive days.
- Category B and C can be extended.
- Category A and D cannot be extended.
- (C1 to C10)
Powerplant
- Bypass and core air are the two airflow paths after air passes through the fan.
- Bypass air provides majority of thrust during takeoff.
- The N1 assembly is a single-stage fan.
- The N2 assembly is a multi-stage compressor.
- Variable geometry system and operability valves maintain compressor aerodynamic performance and prevent compressor stalls.
- FADEC is full authority digital engine control that controls each engine.
Other
- Many other topics are covered in the notes, including discussion of specific components, their functions and operating limits, as well as procedures for emergency situations.
