What is a Cold Weather Preflight Inspection? - o GDPM Chap 2 (cold weather preflight inspection) o SOPM Chap 4 Section 1 (Cold WX Operations) An external walk-around by the flight deck crew used to detect the presence of frost, ice,or snow on critical surfaces from which the requirement for deicing/anti-icing is determined. This inspection consists of a tactile and/or visual check. When does a Cold Weather Preflight Inspection need to be performed - o SOPM Chap 4 Section 1 (Cold WX Operations) A Cold Weather Preflight inspection must be performed by a flight deck crewmember during the external inspection to determine the wings are free from frozen contaminants when: • The OAT is 5°C or less, or • The wing fuel temperature is 0°C or less, or • Atmospheric conditions conducive to icing exist, or • Theaircraft has remained overnight and may have frozen contaminants due to exposure to frost or precipitation, which could involve the entire airframe, or • On any through flight where residual ice from the inbound flight may have accumulated on airframe surfaces or components, or • Cold soak ice is suspected in the fuel tank area.

Where is it located? o CDL, AFM APPENDICES In the CDL, which is in the AFM What is the MINTO for your flight, what is included in MINTO - o DISPATCH RLS EXPLANATION GUIDE Minimum fuel for takeoff. Includes enroute burn, go-around/alternate (most distant), holding, and reserve fuel. When an alternate is listed on the Release, does the Alternate fuel value include go-around fuel - o DISPATCH RLS EXPLANATION GUIDE Yes Engine Failure Procedures (EFP) are denoted by Abbreviations such as DT, LT, RT, and Special. What is the difference between a Standard and Special EFP o Performance Handbook Section 2.0 Takeoff The Simple-Special Procedure differs from Standard Procedures in that a turn to a NAVAID or heading is required before reaching 1,000'. FRA remains at 1,000' AFE unless otherwise specified in the FLAP RETRACT box. If following a Special EFP and Radar Vectors are not available, at what altitude can the crew proceed on course o Performance Handbook Section 2.0 Takeoff In IMC, if radar vectors are not available, comply with the special procedure until 3,000' AFE at which time you may proceed on course (as applicable) Takeoff in IMC (ceiling < 1000' and < 3SM) and ATC provides a radar vector, no turns shall be commenced below what altitude - o Performance Handbook Section 2.0 Takeoff 1000 feet Can a Pilot Turn the airplane with the above conditions if an Instrument or Special Departure procedure requires it - o Performance Handbook Section 2.0 Takeoff Yes The RWY is reported as WET, what does this mean - o Performance Handbook Section 2.0 Takeoff A runway is considered wet when more than 25% of the runway surface area, within the length and the width being used, is covered by any visible dampness or water 1/8 in (3 mm) or less in depth. The RWY report has been updated to "contaminated", what does this mean - o Performance Handbook Section 2.0 Takeoff A runway is considered contaminated when more than 25% of the runway surface area (whether in isolated areas or not), within the reported length and the width being used, is covered by more than 1/8 in (3 mm) of standing water or its equivalent in slush, wet snow, dry snow or any depth of ice or compacted snow. What does TALPA stand for - o FOM Chap 7 (Runway Assessments) TakeoffandLandingPerformanceAssessment (TALPA) TALPA uses RCAM (RCCs) to assess runway conditions, describe the difference in runway condition between an RCC of 6 and RCC of 1 - o FOM Chap 7 (Runway Assessments) Both TALPA and GRF use a Runway Condition Assessment Matrix(RCAM) to assess runway conditions and to assign a numerical value (RunwayConditionCode-RwyCC) that equates to expected braking action. Where can the RCAM/Braking action table be found - o EFB WX Tile o FOM Chap 7 (Runway Assessments) EFB WX Tile and FOM Chap 7 (Runway Assessments) What does the bold (T) symbol communicate? - o MEL USER GUIDE (3) A bold symbol (T) (Tracking) is a flag to the flight crew that any of the following conditions exist: • An MEL requires a tracking (or time) restriction. • A repair interval Category A of one day. • Procedures that must be performed, tested, or checked before each flight, prior to the first flight of the day, once each flight day, or at a certain number of hours, landings, cycles, etc. What impact does the above MEL have on flight planning - o See MEL 32-47-1a above Requires added fuel How does the pilot know that this added fuel burn from the MEL has been applied to the Flight Release - o (Release Remarks Section, Dispatch Release Explanation Guide and Performance Handbook) It'll show on the release in the remarks section Why is the HYD fluid temperature checked during the originating flow - o SOPM Chap 4 Section 1 (Hydraulic System Warm Up) Verify hydraulic fluid temperature, quantity, and pressure by turning HYDRAULIC SYS1, 2, and 3A ON- Perform Hydraulic Warm-Up when reservoir temperature is below-18°C During an ECS ON takeoff the APU will be ON or OFF - o SOPM Chap 4 Section 4 (After Start, APU) OFF If ACARS takeoff performance dictates ECS ON takeoff and the crew fails to shut down the APU, the EICAS will generate an ENG REF ECS DISAGREE message, if this happens, what do you do - o (TEAM Model, have pilots reference the QRH, reenter TO data or reconfigure aircraft) Stop, advise atc.
