If during the cabin crew briefing safety knowledge gaps arise with a cabin crew member. What are the steps to be followed?
Cabin Crew Grounding Process:
In case of safety knowledge gaps found during the pre-flight briefing, the following process shall be adhered to:
1.RCM suggests to CPT to dismiss crew member
2.PIC decides about dismiss
3.PIC informs Crew Control that crew member is unavailable/grounded
4.Crew Control contacts the Cabin Operations Manager on Duty (COMOD)
5.Crew Member is ground for 3 days in addition to event day
Cabin crews are required to know the following points by heart:
The assessment of the technical status of the aircraft must be based on the following 5 steps…
The decision to further accept previously deferred complaints (HIL, MEL, CDL, TLB etc.)
Presence of a CRS
Presence of a CRS for all MRI complaints previously entered
Result of the pre flight inspection
The decision to defer newly detected complaints, by either applying a MEL/CDL item or determining that airworthiness is not impaired

Decision Altitude/Minimum Descent Altitude (DA/MDA) are rounded to the next 10ft value.
Note: Due to the rounding of official values the difference between DH/MDH and DA/MDA may not be the precise numerical equivalent of the threshold- or aerodrome elevation.

8.1.7.2.2 In exceptional cases, e.g. unforeseeable taxi delay, contingency fuel may be used while on ground, based on the operational judgement of the crew.
How is the cont. fuel amount calculated?
Contingency fuel shall be the higher of a) or b) below:
(a). Either the lowest one of the following (1, 2, 3):
1.) 5% of the planned trip fuel or in the event of in-flight replanning, 5% of the trip fuel for the remainder of the flight; or
2.) Not less than 3% of the planned trip fuel or in the event of in-flight replanning, 3% of the trip fuel for the remainder of the flight provided that an en-route alternate is available. The fuel ERA aerodrome 3% shall be located within a circle having a radius equal to 20% of the total flight plan distance, the centre of which lies on the planned route at a distance from the destination aerodrome of 25% of the total flight plan distance, or at least 20% of the total flight plan distance plus 50 NM, whichever is the greater; or
3.) Fuel sufficient for 20 minutes flying time based on planned trip fuel consumption. The required data shall be validated by a fuel consumption monitoring program for individual aeroplanes and the operator shall use valid data by means of such a programme for fuel calculation; or
(b) .an amount of fuel to fly for 5 minutes at holding speed at 1.500ft (450 m) above the destination aerodrome in standard conditions.
What does “ADD CFS” on the OFP fuel section mean?
Additional fuel according critical fuel scenario. This is the case if the 3% fuel ERA cannot be reached in case of engine out/decompression with the fuel in the OFP. OMA 8.1.7.2.5
Do you need to load additional fuel that is required to cover predicted RAIM outages when a flight is operated to an aerodrome with only RNAV approach available?
Extra fuel flow on the OFP is calculated according…
Your flight is expected to have delay on arrival. Dispatch will plan another 30min of fuel
Describe the difference between additional fuel, extra fuel and discretionary fuel.
additional fuel is ADD CFS or ADD ETOPS or additional for RAIM outages
extra fuel: fuel to cover anticipated delays or specific operational constraints that can be predicted, stipulated with a specific justification (e.g. expected holding time at destination) by relevant company departments (Dispatch, Fleet, Commander).
discretionary fuel: Fuel at the sole discretion of the commander if deemed necessary. The commander’s discretion on this amount of fuel is independent.
Economical tankering is not recommended
8.1.7.5.4 Reduced Contingency Fuel Procedure (RCF) uses two cases. Explain them.
all fuel req. to fly to destination 1 exept the cont. fuel which is calculated only from the decision point to destination using 5% of the trip fuel for that portion of the flight
all fuel required to fly from origin to destination 2 via the decision point. Normal cont. fuel calculation for this option
Are you allowed to fly to an isolated aerodrome (point of no return procedure)?

When the runway is dry or is wet and groomed and the conditions are the same as at dispatch the landings distance assessment can be made by confirming these facts. OMA 8.3.19.2.5.2.2
An INSTRUMENT approach may be commenced regardless of the reported RVR
BUT
not continued below 1000ft AGL if RVR below minimum
not into final approach if DA/MDA is higher than 1000ft AGL and RVR below
AFTER PASSING 1000ft AGL
RVR may fall below minimum
But visual reference requirements still apply
