Explain Captain/Dispatcher joint responsibility.
Vol 1 20.20.2 - -...for the preflight planning of each flight. They
determine the suitability of weather, field, traffic and airways. Either can
delay a flight, but only SOC (Systems Operations Control) can cancel.
-When is an alternate required?
Vol 1: 20.20.3, 35.20.1, 40.10.6 - -123 rule for domestic
123++ for flag
Method 2 (driftdown)
Marginal weather (100' or 1/2)
Offline charters
International
Severe icing
Thunderstorms
Rnav only
Supplemental
3585
-Explain Flaps optimized between 3 and 4?
Vol 1 20.36.8 - -- If enroute icing is encountered, flaps 3 landing config
may be required based on approach climb weight limits.
- Go around for NEO due to climb gradient
- Maximizing MRLW when restricted by an approach or landing climb
limit
-Explain method one vs method two? Standard strategy vs Obstacle?
Procedures for both? Where would we see it listed? Vol 1 20.32.4 - -
METHOD 1 = 1000 ft obstacle clearance 5nm either side from v1 to
destination.
METHOD 2 (driftdown) = 2000 ft clearance 5nm either side from cruise
altitude to diversion airport. If engine failure occurs lower that normal
cruise, the aircraft must be able to return to departure airport or
departure alternate (if req.)
STANDARD STRATEGY: (Used for method 1)
OBSTACLE STRATEGY: (Used for method 2)
Method of dispatch will be on the dispatch release.
