Re: Fuel Dumping Does and Don'ts
From The Canadian Manops ( Bible ) sic.....
A bit of a blurb to find out from Air crew what they require,
Then 701.2
Restrict the aircraft dumping fuel to an altitude 2000 feet or more above the highest obstacle within a horizontal distance of 5 miles of the track to be flown. If necessary , conmsult with the aircraft to determine an appropriate altitude . ( i like that one !!!)
Some more blurb.......about populated areas and constant track , etc...
Then 701.5 ( the fun bit for ATC)
Separate an IFR or a CVFR aircraft from the track of a fuel dumping aircraft by:
A. 10 miles laterally and longitudinally
B. from above ground up to and including 3000 feet ABOVE the altitude of the aircraft dumping fuel, and
C. until 15 minutes after the fuel dumping procedure has been terminated.
Some more blurb about warning messages , etc , etc.
I was lucky enough to practise this in the Sim. during my recent annual recurrent training
, not pleasant, considering the vast amount of airspace to be protected. Oh and btw i work in a terminal
