ASSIGNMENT INTRODUCTION :
Dear FGA employee,
Now is the time to test Your skills in following correct fuel management
procedures, as well as reading and following standard procedures plates
for airports.
This flight assignment will provide You with the tools to fly a correct
flight from Copenhagen to Amsterdam, based on real life weather and
procedures (Weather as it was on the 19'th of March 1994 03:50 UTC, and
procedures as used by SAS/KLM/Swissair).
At the bottom of this file, You will find a short walk-trough of the
various SID, STAR and ILS approaches to be used in this assignment.
Test Your skills, but be warned, it's NOT easy at all to fly
correctly... (Must be the reason Pilots get such a high salary).

Survived flight at minus 25 degrees.
____________________________________
MD-82 has warmth and service where the passengers are seated. But in the
area surrounding the landing-gear there is no insulation.
(Inset photo caption)
The small male cat is still not to well after the cold flight, where the
cat survived minus 25 degrees centigrade at seven kilometers altitude.
(Main photo caption)
B.T. "If a cat has got nine lives, this one has used a couple of them on
this trip. We do not understand how it survived."
Aase Rohde, Nurse at the animal hospital in Copenhagen, is doing all she
can to keep the little male cat alive, which arrived in a very bad
shape.
The cat had taken refuge in the dark, in a MD-82 plane from SAS, at
Karup aerodrome, where the plane was parked for the night. The cat
crawled up in the wheel-well, and got a trip to Copenhagen when the
plane took off 07:20 on the first morning departure.
While all the other passengers were seated in the warm cabin, the cat
had to suffer in the un-insulated wheel-well, but the little male cat on
adventure managed the minus 25 degrees, while the plane climbed to seven
kilometers altitude and with a speed of 815 Km/h moved towards the
capitol.
(subheading)
Took the plane out of schedule.
The trip lasted about 30-40 minutes airborne time. Nobody heard anything
to the cat during the flight.
Upon arrival in Copenhagem a mechanic made the obligatory check of the
landing-gear, and suddenly the mechanic saw into two sad cat-eyes.
At first the ground-personell tried to call the little cat out, but it
wouldn't come.
SAS then had to take the airplane out of the schedule for a whole day,
and use 4-5 hours in the hangar, to get the cat out. They did this, by
among other things, screwing some plates loose so the mechanic
better could get hold of the frightened cat.
Finally they managed, and the cat was transferred to Copenhagen Animal
Hospital in Valby.
(subheading)
The cat is well.
"When the cat arrived, it showed symptoms of stress, Hypo-termia, and had
diarrhoea. Actually it wasn't worth much. During the night it started to
liven up a bit, and began to eat a little." Aase Rohde tells.
Aase Rohde continues : "The cat is still very quiet, and I can't say
when it will be allright again, it might take one or more days. But it
is safe and fine now. We have never had such a case before, I can't
imagine how it survived."
"I have been checking around here in SAS, and we have never heard about a
cat who have taken such a flight before" Gerhard Dall from SAS's public
relations department said.
"Actually the cat has been incredible lucky. Partly by surviving the
cold and altitude, and partly by not being squashed by the landing gear,
when it's retracted."
The cat hasn't got a collar or nametag, but we hope that a family in the
Karup area is missing their cat, and we promise a free first-class flight
home, - and this time in the area of the plane, where there is warmth
and service.

=========================================================================
ASSIGNMENT :
As The Netherlands is well renown for its cat-loving people (You almost
can't find a dutch home which haven't got or had a cat.), it's needless
to say that dutch feline-medics are the best.
As the cat started to get worse, it was decided to fly the cat to
Amsterdam for medical treatment.
SAS contacted FGA as their first scheduled flight would first depart in
later that morning, and when our secretary, Ms. Antoinette Lagrande,
heard the story, she decided to adopt the cat, if it survived the flight
to AMS and the medical treatment.
This adds another danger to the assignment: If the cat doesn't arrive at
Schipol latest 08:00 (07:00 UTC), it will not survive (Don't ask me why,
I'm not a feline doctor), and as we all now : "Hell knows no fury, like
an angry secretary." Just ask Miguel Blaufuks... :-)
FUEL BRIEFING :
The FGA Learjet 35G is sitting on the taxiway waiting for permission to
taxi on to RWY 12. You are scheduled to take off at 06:15 local time
(05:15 UTC). Planned Alternate airport is EHRD/Rotterdam.
The plane is fuelled according to the following
fuel flight plan :
description amount endurance
Taxifuel 12 Gal
CPH-AMS 292 Gal 1:14
6% route
reserve 17 Gal 0:05
Altn EHRD 48 Gal 0:14
Final reserve 103 Gal 0:30
total RAMPFUEL 472 Gal 2:03
The above is according to minimum fuel flightplanning criteria, but as
allways it's the P.I.C.'s decision to take more if he/she wants.
Just be warned that FGA management doesn't look mildly on extra
unnecessary costs !! (especially in an expensive airport as EKCH).

ASSIGNMENT DOCUMENTATION WALK-THROUGH:
SID (Standard Instrument Departure)
Read, review and understand the SPEED RESTRICTIONS, MNM CLIMB GRADIENT, and
ALT RESTRICTIONS.
Find Your TA (Transition Altitude, where You change for local QNH to
standard QNH).
Find the departure You are going to fly (KENIK 1B).
Read, review and understand the procedures required of You for this
procedure.
An example, ODIN 1B departure for RWY 12 in CPH reads as follows:
SPEED RESTRICTIONS : MAX IAS 250KT below FL80.
[Max speed is 250 knots INDICATED AIRSPEED up to FL80]
MNM CLIMB GRADIENT: 5.5% up to FL80. (If unable inform ATC)
(GRADIENT x Grnd Speed = Rate Of Climb
[How many degrees nose-up You must keep minimum at all times, until FL80]
TA 5000
[Transistion Altitude, where standard QNH 21.92 is set iso local QNH]
ODIN 1B DEP 124.97
123 degrees - at R080 KAS turn R 250 degrees - R280 ALM - 270
degrees/R090 ODN - ODN
[After take off, continue runway heading until crossing KAS VOR Radial
080, then make a standard 2 minute righthand turn to heading 250
degrees, maintain this heading until intercepting ALM VOR Radial 280,
follow this radial until intercepting ODN VOR Radial 090.
STAR (STandard ARrival procedure)
Read, review and understand the Speed and Level restrictions.
Follow the routing, altitude and speed limits on a given arrival
procedure.
ILS approach plate.
Check TA (Transition Altitude).
Locate the Arrival routing You will be using.
Review Navaids used in approach.
Remember that Airline Pilots also use their Autopilot, including for
ILS landings.
Follow the procedure.
Enjoy the assignment.
