I also stated that he was memorizing “limitations” I never heard of. Take for example the unusable fuel. Is it in my OM, yes but we don’t have to memorize it. Just surprised by what he is studying.

We don’t fly around with the window open. Opening the window would be driven by the qrh and there is a speed associated with the procedure in the qrh.

The point being, there’s a limitation associated with the DV window. This comes from the aircraft manufacturer, not the company. Everyone acting like they’ve never heard of such a thing. We weren’t allowed to remove or even open our windows, but we still had to know the limitation. We also had to know unusable fuel in each tank though too. To the OP, just learn what your company tells you to learn. They should give you a packet of limitations and memory items. Then just make your flash cards off of that material.

I have worked for two different 145 carriers and neither of them had your window limitation. They both have the same exact qrh item to remove the window and what speed is associated with it. It is not in the limitation section of either airline. With everyone acting like they have never heard it might give you a clue or maybe it doesn’t.

The op is studying the packet that was handed to him.
