and All Correct Answers 2026-2027
Updated.
What changes require dispatch notification? (6) (CCCFAA) - Answer *Cleared (lateral deviation)
> 100 nm from planned route
*Cleared (Altitude deviation) > 4k' from the planned cruise alt for > 30 min
*Cleared (ATC issues) supplementary route or CDR
*Fuel consumption > than planned
*Arrive (ETA) change > 15 min
*Arrival at dest or altn with < minimum FAR fuel reserves
Where are TO and LDG vis requirements located? - Answer Ops Specs section of Airway
Manual (4.3)
Can we use a Fixed-Derate TO and a Flex TO together? - Answer Not approved at this time.
One or the other.
What assumed temperature will allow us to Flex? - Answer The Flex temp must be at least 5
degrees greater than OAT.
How much is the power reduction on derated TO?
TO:
TO-1:
TO-2: - Answer TO- no reduction (full power)
TO-1: 10%
TO-2: 20%
TO-3: 30% (-300 only)
What is the PLW (Performance Limited Weight) and how is it determined? - Answer It is
determined by the pilot. It is the LOWER of the following:
*Structural TO wt limit (134k / 149K {100/300})
*CLIMB on WDR
*RATOW on WDR
, If actual TOW or winds exceed the WDR limits, what do you do? - Answer Select a greater
thrust setting line on the WDR or request a TOPR with updated information
How do we confirm WDR data prior to TO? - Answer Wind and Weight:
*Confirm acft wt does not exceed PLW for the selected thrust setting
*Confirm HW meets the minimum or TW does not exceed the maximum
Can we use Dry TO numbers if using a grooved runway that is wet? - Answer No, the 220 was
certified with Wet performance numbers so we must use those anytime the runway is not Dry.
What does **ATTN MULTI FLAP** mean on the WDR? - Answer More than one flap setting is
given for a particular runway. Examine the WDR carefully to use the correct line and data.
When is a new WDR required? - Answer A new WDR will be generated and uplinked only if the
changes exceed the AWABS tolerance of:
* A total increase or decrease of 1,000 lbs (pax or cargo) OR
* A change of 0.5% MAC
What is LPR?
LTP? - Answer Landing Performance Request
Latest Touchdown Point
What does the asterisk * mean on an LPR? - Answer It indicates the braking action that the
report is based on.
What does it mean on an LPR when the LDIST and the LTP are both in parentheses? - Answer
The LTP is less than the approx 7-second air run distance. Landing is still permitted however the
touchdown point may be closer to the approach end than is typical.
What do dashes (----) mean on the LPR? - Answer The 15% safety margin cannot be met, or
data is not available for the requested conditions.
What does it mean when a vertical mode ends in "CAP" ? - Answer The altitude hold mode is
in the process of capturing.
What does it mean when "ALT" ends in "V"? - Answer Signifies a preprogrammed FMS altitude
constraint, altitude hold mode.
