the SMGCS airport plan view chart should be referenced for CAT II/III approach, taxi-out or takeoff when RVR is reported below 1200.

Once an aircraft begins diversion to the alternate, alternate minimums no longer apply.  The listed alternate has now become the destination and only destination required visibility is required to commence the approach.

• Weather requirements
• -Ceiling: 1000'
• -Visibility: 3 SM
• -Maintain at least 1000' above, 500' below and 2000' horizontally from clouds
• -Within Class B, C, D, and 35 miles of Class E destination airport or below designated transition area

Instrument approach with a DA, or MDA not lower than 200' HAT with either a visibility not less than 1/2 Statute Mile (800m) or a RVR not less than 1800' (550m)

Adequate visibility is the only requirement to begin an approach.

If RVV or RVR is reported for a particular runway, RVV or RVR must be used for that runway and is controlling over prevailing visibility.

• 03.09.03.01
• For all straight-in, non-ILS approaches (unless operationally required or pre-briefed), the aircraft will be fully configured for landing at the FAF. Final approach speed must be attained by 1000 feet HAT..

• Flight crews are authorized to conduct circle to land maneuvers provided the ceiling and visibility is 1000' and three miles or published minima, whichever is higher.
• Use and MDA of 1000' (HAA) or circling MDA, whichever is higher

• Old Answer: Wet MLFL data to be used when computing the runway length requirement
• Precision instrument runway markings or runway centerline lights are operational and visible on the runway (otherwise no less than RVR 4000' or 3/4 mile)
• New Answer:
• 1. The destination runway length shall be determined prior to takeoff to be at least 115% (WET...AA data) of the runway field length required by provisions of 121.195b.
• 2. Precision Instrument (all weather) runway markings or runway centerline lights must be operational on that runway.

LAHSO at selected airports, authorized by the company by FBP NOTAMS and requirements of 03.11.01.03 are met (to numerous to list).

• The flight must be at an airport which does not have operating ATC facilities and it is not otherwise possible for the flight crew to obtain an IFR clearance
• VFR weather conditions are reported to exist at the time of takeoff
• The flight remains in VFR weather conditions at all times while operating under VFR
• An IFR clearance is obtained as soon as practicable after T/O, but no further than 50 NM from the departure airport.

• No alternate is required for a destination airport of for at least one hour before to one hour after the ETA the weather report or forecast, or any combination of these indicate:
• The ceiling will be at least 2000' above the airport elevation
• Visibility well be at least 3 SM

PAR and Contact approaches are not authorized

• The 767 is which category for all approaches?
• B 757 Category 'C'
• B 767 Category 'D'

• 48 Conus +/- 1 hour of ETA
• Cat I ILS   1000'AGL Ceiling 3 SM Visibility
• Cat II ILS  1000'AGL Ceiling 2 SM Visibility
• Cat III ILS 1000'AGL Ceiling 2 SM Visibility

The flight may continue to the destination unless the Captain or Flight Control determines the flight cannot be conducted safely.  Consider factors such as alternate weather, fuel on board and weather trends at both destination and alternate.

• Flight Control must issue an ARTR for a new alternate and it must be recorded on the flight release.
• Note. Once an aircraft has turned to the alternate, alternate minimums no longer apply

Destination weather reports or forecast, or any combination thereof,  will be at or above authorized minimums at the estimated time of arrival at the airport or airports to which dispatched or released.

Below CAT I landing minimums, ceiling and visibility required

One hour or 300 nautical miles, no wind, engine out.

• Operable dual flight director systems (A single flight director with dual display does not satisfy this requirement)
• OR
• One operable flight director and an operable auto coupler (autopilot).

• No alternate is required for a destination airport if for at least +/- one hour of the estimated time of arrival at the destination airport, the weather report or forecasts, or any combination of these indicate:
• Ceiling will be at least 2000' above the airport elevation, and
• Visibility will be at least 3 SM
• Exemption 8658 (1-1-2 Rule)

Ceiling: Add 200' to higher MDA(H) or DA(H) of the two approaches used

Visibility: Add 1/2 SM or 800m (700m outside the United States) to the higher authorized landing minimum of the two approaches used

• Airports receive this designation from the FAA due to items such as terrain, obstructions or complex approach/DPs. A pilot may not serve as PIC to or from an airport that requires a 'Special PIC Qualifications' unless during the proceeding 12 months, one of the following 3 criteria:
• 1 PIC or level D sim
• 2 SIC or level D sim
• 3 PIC has qualified using pictorial means acceptable by the adminstrator
• Does not apply if you meet both:
• Ceiling 1000' above the lowest MEA IFR alt, MOCA, or IPA for that airport, and
• The visibility is at least 3 miles

No person may dispatch or release an aircraft unless it is airworthy

• DEFRTE - Defined by the dispatcher
• MFT/R - Min Fuel Track Considering Restrictions
• MTT/R - Min Time Track Considering Restrictions
• MCT/R - Min Cost Track Considering Restrictions
• MDT/R - Min Distance Track Considering Restrictions

• The Captain will send an ACARS to the Aircraft Dispatcher when within the two hour window and no later than 60 minutes prior to the redispatch point, and provide the following:
• The estimated fuel remaining at the RD pt
• The updated routing to the intended destination, if applicable
• The actual payload

When the destination and alternate forecasted weather is at minimums, one additional alternate must be designated

• B 757   3000 lbs
• B 767   4000 lbs

A Flight Control Dispatcher will normally plan the flight to arrive with no fewer than 75 minutes of total arrival fuel at the destination. The minimum arrival fuel value includes ALTERNATE, RESERVE, CONTINGENCY and ADDITIONAL fuel.

• The TDZ RVR report, if available, is controlling
• The mid RVR report may be substituted for an unavailable TDZ report

• A minimum of two operative RVR reporting systems are required
• All available RVR reports are controlling
• Note: extremely long runways utilize 4 RVR sensors. When a fourth far-end RVR value is reported, it is not controlling and is not to be used as one of the two required operative RVR systems.

• Fuel to fly to destination
• Fuel to fly to the most distant alternate, if required
• Fuel to fly 45 minutes at normal cruise fuel consumption

• Fuel to fly to and land at destination
• Fuel for 10% of time planned to fly to and land at destination
• Fuel to fly to and land at most distant alternate, if required
• Fuel to hold for 30 minutes at 1500' AFE at the destination, or hold at 1500' AFE at the alternate, if required

• FBP
• Aircraft logbook
• Load manifest
• - Not Fuel Slip...
• NOTOC (if required)
• Jumpseat passes (if required)

The aircraft dispatcher will establish contact with the flight crew. The Dispatcher and the Captain will jointly agree on the diversion data requirements and the Dispatcher will redispatch the flight (ARTR is req'd) from this point inflight to the new destination, specifying fuel, airport, alternate, weather and load information, as contained in a regular release.

AMC will assist the flight crew in determining if a BTB is required or crew deferral procedures can be applied.  The Captain retains the final decision, based on safety-of-flight, as to whether the flight crew will accomplish the deferral or accomplish the BTB.

Load complete time is defined as the aircraft loaded and belly doors closed.  The Load Supervisor will verify with the flight crew that appropriate door lights are extinguished prior to assigning a load complete time.
