Study Notes
Fuel Jettisoning and Flight Path Requirements
- Fuel jettisoning is allowed if it ensures required fuel reserves at the aerodrome.
- Net flight path must show a positive gradient at 1,500 ft (450m) above the landing aerodrome after two engine failures.
- Flight path must clear all terrain and obstructions by at least 2,000 ft (600m) within a 5 nm (9.3 km) lateral range from the route.
- Minimum fuel must permit level flight for 15 minutes at 1,500 ft (450m) over landing area to ensure safety.
Minimum Altitude / Flight Level Procedures
- Minimum altitude during takeoff or landing is based on the specific leg of the procedure or terminal chart safe altitude.
- When under radar control, fly at the altitude cleared by the radar controller.
- For IFR operations, maintain at least the published minimum altitude on navigation charts unless descending per approved procedures.
Non-Normal Operations and Diversion Strategies
- Strategies for emergency situations (engine failure, depressurization) consider local terrain for safe altitude navigation.
Aerodrome Qualification for Commanders
- Commanders can operate to all Category A aerodromes for which they are qualified without additional requirements.
- Category B requires briefing on aerodrome specifics, certified via signing on the Operational Flight Plan (OFP).
- Category C mandates personal observation, operational practice, or simulator training specific to the aerodrome.
Alternate Aerodromes Requirements
- Individual State requirements may vary; specifics available in the Jeppesen Airway Manual.
- All alternate aerodromes must be listed in the operational flight plan.
- Choosing a destination alternate at least 100 nm from the primary destination is advisable.
Landing Mass and Approach Requirements
- Maximum landing mass must adhere to specified limits based on altitude and temperature at both destination and alternate aerodromes.
- Verify expected landing mass supports a missed approach climb gradient consistent with aerodrome configurations.
Landing on Dry Runways Criteria
- Ensure landing mass permits a complete stop from 50 ft above the threshold within 60% of available landing distance.
- Assess factors like altitude, wind components, and runway slope for compliance.
- Performance evaluations consider aircraft characteristics and surface conditions at expected time.
In-Flight Check and Landing Distance Requirements
- Do not continue approach if landing distance available (LDA) is below 115% of estimated landing distance.
- Flight operations are restricted under poor braking action conditions to promote safety.
Runway Condition Reporting
- RWYCC (Runway Condition Codes) can reflect runway conditions affected by contaminants; upgrades require specific conditions to be met.
- Specially prepared winter runways may receive better RWYCC ratings if appropriately treated.
- Operators must report with accurate RWYCC based on surface quality assessments.
