Interesting questions concerning your aircraft
Here are some interesting questions about your aircraft you should consider if you have not already done so...
What is the lowest altimeter setting capacity of each altimeter installed?
Does your aircraft flight recorder include your satellite telephone communications?
What units of measurement do each of your altimeters display? Inches of Mercury? Millibars? hectoPascals? Millimeters of Mercury?
What is a hectoPascal?
Is your aircraft equipped with a Wide Area Augmented System (WAAS) Global Positioning System (GPS)?
Is your aircraft certified under Part 25? or Part 23?
What is the lowest Pavement Classification Number (PCN) number that your aircraft requires concerning runway strength?
Do you ever use reduced thrust power for takeoffs?
Who makes the choice of runways used for takeoffs and landings?
Who makes the choice of which instrument approach is used?
What is the impact on the your aircraft systems when using a QFE altimeter setting?
Is there an impact of using a QFE altimeter setting on the Enhanced Ground Proximity System (EGPWS) orTerrain and Awareness Warning System (TAWS) on your airplane?
What does the airplane flight manual say about Global Positioning System (GPS) sensor use in non World Geodetic System-1984 (WGS-84) countries?
Does it direct you to disable the GPS sensors?
Are you able to view the Global Positioning System (GPS) calculated altitudes on your Flight Management System (FMS) while in flight?
On what Flight Management System (FMS) page are they available to view?
Have you ever compared the GPS calculated altitude to the barometric altimeters while in cruise flight at high altitudes or low altitudes?
How did they compare roughly?
How does your meters altimeter round off altitudes? To the nearest 10 feet? 40 feet? 100 feet? 10 meters? 40 meters? 100 meters or what?
When do you plan to add TCAS II version 7.1 to your aircraft?
When do you plan to add Wide Area Augmentation System (WAAS) capability to your GPS receivers if you are not equipped with WAAS now?
When do you plan to add Automatic Dependent Surveillance Broadcast (ADS-B/C) and Controller-Pilot Data Link Communications (CPDLC) if you do not have it?
What is the cost of getting your aircraft equipped with Automatic Dependent Surveillance - Broadcast (ADS-B) and Automatic Dependent Surveillance -Contract (ADS-C) for your aircraft?
What is the cost for Controller-Pilot Data Link Communications (CPDLC) for your aircraft?
What does the Enhanced Ground Proximity Warning system (EGPWS -TAWS) cost for your aircraft?
