PC4) )2013) Here were some of the questions we got to start off the PC session. As mentioned before, you may not choose these exact same ones, so know all the questions/answers from the compiled list (attached). We got these: - When is a takeoff alternate required? If the weather at your departure airport is below the minima for the approach to be used, a T/O alternate is required. - The NOTAMS indidcate the approach lights are out. Are you permitted to make a CAT IIIB approach? (Note: this is not a memory item). The answer is: Not allowed for operations with DH>50 feet. This can be found in OMPA under Table 1 Failed or Downgraded equipment and the associated effect on landing minima. Just say you must consult this table. - A slide shows the aircraft above On a CAT II approach, the RVR deteriorates below minima what action should you take? If available, reset minima and continue, if not go around at 1000 (approach ban). - What are the LVO crosswind limits for the following countries? USA: 15 kts. Canada: 15 kts. Australia: 10 kts if any RVR is less than 200m, otherwise, 15 kts. Ref: OMPA and also can be found in Port Pages. - On a CAT IIIB approach, the autothrottle fails below 1000 what do you do? If RVR suitable for CAT IIIA or better you can continue but don t change the minima, otherwise if unable, go-around.
