MESA AIRLINES - OPS SPECS STUDY GUIDE 2023/2024 verified to pass

MESA AIRLINES - OPS SPECS STUDY GUIDE Under what conditions is LAHSO prohibited? - correct answer 1. On wet runways 2. Runways without visual or electronic vertical guidance. 3. When ceiling is less than 1,500ft or visibility is less than 5sm. When a PAPI or VASI is available the restriction is reduced to no less than 1,000ft & 3sm. 4. When windshear has been reported within the previous 20 minutes prior to the LAHSO clearance. 5. If the tailwind on the landing runway is more than calm (3 knots). 6. At night where an FAA approved LAHSO lighting configuration is not installed. Where can you find the Cold Weather Hold Over charts for Mesa Airlines? - correct answer In the GOM under Appendix C What are the Cat II RVR approach minimums authorized on the E-175? (TDZ, MID, ROLLOUT) - correct answer TDZ RVR 1600 MID RVR 600 ROLLOUT RVR 300 What runway and approach lighting is required for a Cat II approach? - correct answer Required runway lights: HIRL, TDZ, CL (or foreign equivalent) Required approach lights: ALSF-1 or ALSF-2. Sequenced flashing lights may be inoperative. What is the crosswind limit for Cat II approaches? - correct answer 15 knots or less When is a PRM (Precision Runway Monitor) approach used? - correct answer When parallel ILS approaches are used simultaneously and the distance between runways is less than 4,300ft but at least 3,000ft apart. The radar used by ATC must have a high refresh rate of one per second. Must have aural and visual alerts for ATC. How will you know if PRM approaches are in use? - correct answer It will be stated in the ATIS. The appropriate approach plate will state ILS PRM. On a PRM approach when must the pilot begin monitoring the PRM monitor frequency on the standby radio? - correct answer When instructed to contact tower. While on a PRM approach if a pilot is instructed to perform a break out maneuver can the breakout maneuver be performed using the autopilot? - correct answer No the break out maneuver must be hand flown and executed immediately. Tower will likely issue a breakout heading and instructions to climb or descend to a different altitude. If the TCAS instructions differ from PRM breakout instructions which instructions should the pilot follow? - correct answer The pilot should comply with the tower assigned breakout heading but must follow the TCAS RA instructions even if opposite the instructions given by the tower. Advise ATC as soon as possible of the TCAS RA deviation. What is a SOIA PRM approach? - correct answer SOIA stands for Simultaneous Offset ILS Approach. SOIA's are issued when a conventional PRM approach cannot be developed because the runways are closer than 3,000ft apart. SOIA PRM approaches have runways closer than 3,000ft apart but no less than 750ft apart. SOIA approaches will have specific approach plates that indicate SOIA PRM in the name. The approach will combine an ILS PRM approach with the other runway having a LDA (Localizer Type Directional Aid) approach to the parallel runway.
