Make a request for runway 31l for safety reasons

Delay until wind changes => no weather forecast is provided which means that we have no idea how long it will take until the wind changes it could take long . offload one container of cargo so that the aircraft is able to take off from runway 31r and wait until atc changes runways from 31r to 31l => according to the question text runway 31r is too short for the calculated tom meaning that reducing the load would be required this would potential cause long delays and higher company costs the best option would be to request a take off from runway 31l for safety reasons avoiding long delays and extra costs note we do not have any information regarding runway 04l length and the wind conditions do not favour a take off from this r04l wind at 10° => nearly full tailwind exemple 203 Make a request for runway 31l for safety reasons.

Question 19-37 : Why is fuel dumped during an emergency after take off ?

To get below maximum landing mass mlm

Icao doc 4444.chapter 15 procedures related to emergencies communication failure and contingencies.15 5 3 fuel dumping15 5 3 1 1 an aircraft in an emergency or other urgent situations may need to dump fuel so as to reduce to maximum landing mass in order to effect a safe landing 15 5 3 1 2 when an aircraft operating within controlled airspace needs to dump fuel the flight crew shall advise atc the atc unit should then coordinate with the flight crew the following a the route to be flown which if possible should be clear of cities and towns preferably over water and away from areas where thunderstorms have been reported or are expected .b the level to be used which should be not less than 1800 m 6000 ft and.c the duration of the fuel dumping exemple 263 To get below maximum landing mass (mlm).

Question 19-38 : Which option is correct as regards to air traffic services or air traffic control services air traffic… ?

Advisory services do not deliver clearances but only advisory information and can use the word suggest

Icao doc 4444 . .9 1 4 air traffic advisory service.9 1 4 1 3 air traffic advisory service does not afford the degree of safety and cannot assume the same responsibilities as air traffic control service in respect of the avoidance of collisions since information regarding the disposition of traffic in the area concerned available to the unit providing air traffic advisory service may be incomplete to make this quite clear air traffic advisory service does not deliver clearances but only advisory information and it uses the word advise or suggest when a course of action is proposed to an aircraft exemple 267 Advisory services do not deliver “clearances” but only “advisory information” and can use the word “suggest”....
