TORREON, MX Approach Plates

[geojet707]

Anyone know where I can download the plates for Torreon, MX?? Need it for an interview. Thanks!!

 

[satpak77]

call Jepp and see if they can fax you some, barring a JetLink pilot giving some old ones to you

what is the possible question re: the plate?

Just maintain your last assigned altitude until established on a published segment of the approach. If necessary hold over the VOR as published to lose altitude. Now go study something else.

sounds like...

"its non-radar, no STAR, and you need to get down"

absent anything else....

MEA to MSA/HOLDING PATTERN to ESTABLISHED

i have printed the jepp charts and I will email them to you in a few minutes in a pdf file... Let me know if they came out ok for ya...

later...

You are you applying to that wants a TRC app plate.
Curios since I have flown in there a bunch and drank my fair share of Negro Modelo

I would guess that it is for an ExpressJet interview.

Just doing some research. But above they say to lose altitude in holding pattern down to MEA/MSA holding pattern til established.
I thought that you may only use the MSA for emergencies. Anyone want to give me their $.02 on it? Thanks. Only a week left to study.

In my interview I got Manzanillo. No hold published, it's a DME Arc approach. you are 100 miles out. AT about 50 miles out you can be expect to be cleared for the VOR approach and you are at FL 280. The Airway doubles as a feeder route for the approach. Do your own descent planning to get the ARC at the lowest published altitiude but never below the MEA published on the feeder route.

After joining on the ARC, fly it like any other DME arc approach.

driver,
Thanks for the help. I have a couple of vor-dme plates from mexico that I have been studying. Did ytou use the 3:1 rule for that descent?
Example: FL280 the altitude that you are going down to. Divide by 3 then that is when you need to start down. The rate of descent is ground speed divided by 2 the add a zero.
I understand that I need to explain the electrical system. Can i explain it simply by talking about how the alternator runs the electrical system of the a/c or should I know it where I draw the the system and talk about solinoids?
Also, last summer i flew a king air 200 before I had my highperformane endorsment. So the owner/pilot said he would return later this summer to sign my logbook. He never did return so I have .5 king air time that is not varified. Will XJT be upset? and no this does not gointo the section of logbook lies(joke).
thanks.

Pm'd you

When is your interview?

 

[IrishFlyer]

Hi,

I have an interview on Tuesday. I know they like to ask about Mazatlan, Torreon and Mazanillo from the gouges over at aviationinterviews.com. Does anyone know of any other ones they like to throw into the mix?

Cheers,

IF

So once on the arc....can you tell me how many miles we're travelling and how long it will take approx? Arcs...I could keep going, thanks to my new hire ERAU grad testing me for my CAL interview...I know nothing.:smash:

I don't think there is so much a "gouge" as just knowing how to fly an IAP that is not an ordinary ILS like you do everyday in the US. If it uses a feeder route, know how to transition. It it uses a hold to transition to a teardrop procedure, just know how to do it.

With that in mind, I hope you guys get the jobs. Some guys hate going to Mexico and get all high strung over it, some love it. I enjoy the cahllenge. Usually it can be a non-event. If the weather is crappy and you are having to divert off-airway with high MEA's and you are constantly looking at grid MEA's to make sure you are not going to smack into a mountain it can be workload intensive. At this point is becomes imparative to be a good FO and get on your toes and back your captian up . He may be getting focused on fuel or the route to an alternate, you know, his job and stuff., You and the captain are defintely worth more than you are gettind paid at that moment in time.

I digress.

Good luck.

If they havnt already, they will give you a pilot summary form. They dont look at every page on your logbook. Unless you need that king air time for mins or TT, leave it off the form. Then it wont be game for systems questions. I had about 6 hours in a seneca and 10 in a travel air that I didn't include on the form, they didnt care. If that one line comes up, tell the truth. Dont give even a remote hint of false logbook entries. Lie cheat or steal at xjt and you become unemployeed much less employeed in the first place.
