645 questions with accurate answers
1) (I) If an approach requires TACAN equipment, may that procedure be used if it
is in the FMS database? Ans✓✓✓-Yes, as long as it is line selectable.
2) (I) When approaching a holding fix, what is the earliest you can slow to the
appropriate max holding speed? Ans✓✓✓-3 minutes, without ATC approval.
3) (I) Where are the touchdown zone lights located on the runway and how far do
they extend? Ans✓✓✓-Touchdown zone lights are installed on some precision
approach runways to indicate the touchdown zone when landing under adverse
visibility conditions. They consist of two rows of transverse light bars disposed
symmetrically about the runway centerline. The system consists of
steady−burning white lights which start 100 feet beyond the landing threshold
and extend to 3,000 feet beyond the landing threshold or to the midpoint of the
runway, whichever is less.
4) (OKE) What is the maximum distance from the airport you may accept a visual
approach? (GOM 6-7 344-345) Ans✓✓✓-35 miles with visual contact with the
airport or aircraft to follow.
5) (I) What is the only scenario that allows you to begin an approach prior to the
final approach fix, when reported visibility is below published minimums.
(Excluding PIC emergency authority) Ans✓✓✓-GOM 2-19 allows "Look and See"
approach's where ATC and weather may not be reliable, NOT ALLOWED IN THE
US. A Category I approach at a foreign airport, which may be initiated and
continued, to the DH or MDA/MAP to have a look at the actual visual conditions
available when the weather conditions are reported below the authorized
minima. The operational need for look-see approaches is created by wide
variations in weather reporting and practices among foreign countries. Look-see
,approaches are prohibited at all U.S. civil and military airports but may be
conducted at foreign airports unless specifically prohibited by that country.
6) (OKE) Are you authorized to conduct circling approach's or circling maneuvers?
(GOM 5-146 320-321) opspecs a004 Ans✓✓✓-Yes when the ceiling is at least
1000 feet, and the visibility is at least 3 miles or the minimums for that circling
approach whichever is higher.
7) (I) If visual reference is lost during a circling maneuver, describe the missing
approach procedure. Ans✓✓✓-If you lose visual reference while circling to land
from an instrument approach, you must follow the missed approach specified for
the original procedure (unless ATC specifies an alternate missed approach
procedure). To become established on the prescribed missed approach course,
make an initial climbing turn toward the landing runway and continue the turn
until established on the missed approach course.
8) (I) What is the maximum distance from the runway you may fly during a circling
maneuver? Ans✓✓✓-GOM 5-137 states, COMPANY CIRCLING MINIMUMS (1000
& 3, OR AS PUBLISHED, IF HIGHER) WILL NORMALLY GIVE AN EXTRA MARGIN OF
SAFETY OVER DESCENDING TO THE MDA, BUT ONLY IF THE AIRCRAFT REMAINS
WITHIN CIRCLING AIRSPACE 1.7 MILES OF THE RUNWAY FOR MINIMUMS
ASSOCIATED WITH 140 KT APPROACH SPEEDS AND 2.3 MILES FOR MINIMUMS
ASSOCIATED WITH 165 KT APPROACH SPEEDS.
9) (I) What is the validity period for the FDE summary on a flight release?
Ans✓✓✓-Same as the RAIM. (FDE: Fault Detection and Exclusion is the ability of
a GPS unit to determine that there are enough operational satellites along the
route of flight to navigate to the degree of accuracy required by ATC.) FDE is used
to detect the presence of GPS satellite positioning failures. It uses a minimum of
six (6) satellites to detect a possible faulty satellite and excludes it from the
navigation solution so the navigation function can continue without interruption.
,If the flight is 20 minutes early to 2 hours late or the release is more than 6 hours
old, requires a new RAIM/FDE report.
10) (I) What does a (RAIM) report on a flight release insure? Ans✓✓✓-A RAIM
(Receiver Autonomous Integrity Monitoring) and FDE Prediction is calculated
automatically for each flight to determine flight planning limitations when
conducting GPS as primary means of navigation.RAIM predictive software is used
to determine if suitable GPS navigation will be available through out the flight.
Because this function requires a minimum of five (5) satellites, if a specific
satellite is discarded, redundancy is lost and a warning is issued to the Flight
Follower.
11) (I) When is an aircraft considered to be established on-course during RNAV
and RNP operations? Ans✓✓✓-Anytime it is within 1 times the required accuracy
for the segment being flown. For example, while operating on the Q-Route (RNAV
2), the aircraft is considered to be established on-course when it is within 2NM of
the course centerline.
12) (OKE) If VNAV is armed for takeoff, what would be the indicated "FMA" pitch
mode change at 400' AFE? (AOM Vol 2, 4) Ans✓✓✓-VNAV SPD
13) (OKE) If LNAV is armed in flight, at what cross track distance will it become
active? (AOM Vol 1, L) Ans✓✓✓-2.5 nautical miles
14) (I) When may a flight depart more than 10 minutes before scheduled
departure time Ans✓✓✓-When authorized by the flight follower.
15) (I) If a FO has less than 100 hours in type can he/she perform the takeoff
when the reported RVR is 1800? Ans✓✓✓-No, the FO cannot preform takeoffs or
, landings when the prevailing visibility in the latest weather report for the airport
is at (or below) 3/4 mile or the RVR for the runway to be used is at (or below)
4,000 feet.
16) (I) Who is jointly responsible for initiating, continuing, diverting, and or
terminating company flights IAW the FARs, company procedures and OPSPECS?
Ans✓✓✓-The Director of Operations and the PIC.
17) (I) The PIC has full control and authority for the operation and safety of the
aircraft, without limitation. Ans✓✓✓-True.
18) (I) What is the GOM's definition of standardization of flight procedures?
Ans✓✓✓-Standardization is crucial in maximizing flight safety and reducing pilot
confusion in the cockpit. Standardization of flight procedures creates an
environment in which each occupant will know what to expect from others and
what others expect of him/her, thereby maximizing crew coordination and
efficiency, regardless of changes in crew pairings.
19) (I) What is the purpose of the aircraft loading checklist and who can review
and sign the document? Ans✓✓✓-The Captain.
20) (I) After the weight and balance computations are generated on the
computer, what steps must be completed once the forms are printed? Ans✓✓✓-
They must be signed by the person that did the computations and by the Captain.
21) (I) What FAA approved computerized runway analysis system is used to
compute real time takeoff and landing data for air crews and flight followers?
Ans✓✓✓-AeroData.
