Study Notes

Aviation Operational Requirements

RVR A indicates visibility along the touchdown zone (TDZ).
Jet aircraft can take off when the destination runway has at least 60% of the Landing Distance Available (LDA).

Life Raft Requirements

Transport type A/C requires a life raft when flying over water if the distance to land is greater than 400NM or the flying time is over 120 minutes.

Holding and Speed Restrictions

Before entering a holding pattern above 14,000ft, turbo-jet aircraft should decrease their speed to 265kts.
When flying at controlled airports below 3,000ft AGL and within 10nm, the maximum Indicated Air Speed (IAS) is 200kts.

Medical and Safety

Ear and sinus pain are caused by trapped gas expansion.
Infants do not need a seat belt, but the adult holding them must have their seat belt fastened.

Approach and Landing

If the aircraft's approach speed is higher than normal, touchdown as soon as possible after landing, lower the nose, and use maximum braking and reverse thrust.

Aircraft Systems

The Cockpit Voice Recorder (CVR) starts working as soon as the electrical power is turned on.

The North Atlantic Tracks (NAT) Minimum Navigation Performance Flight (MNPF) altitude range is between FL285 and FL420.

Weather Avoidance

When avoiding thunderstorms, maintain a horizontal distance of at least 20nm if the storm tops are above 30,000ft.
Below the freezing level, maintain a distance of 5nm, and above the freezing level but below 30,000ft, maintain a distance of 10nm.
