Differences List B744 BFC Vs ERF Rev 3
Differences List B744 BFC Vs ERF Rev 3
Differences List B744 BFC Vs ERF Rev 3
OBJECTIVE
- When we are going to operate the 744 BCF and the 744 ERF simultaneously we have to make sure that we are aware of the differences between the 2
sub-variants.
- The objective of this document is to provide a detailed comparison in the following areas:
• Operational Procedures and Limitations
• Aircraft Systems.
− The differences List is based on a comparison of the applicable chapters of the following manuals:
• FCOM Volume 1 (KLM / MPH)
• FCOM Volume 2 (KLM / MPH)
• QRH (Boeing ERF / Boeing BCF)
• OM-B (ERF / BCF supplement).
- The differences are based on the Martinair BCF’s (PH-MPP-PH-MPS) and KLM ERF’s (PH-CKA- PH-CKD). In the current QRH revision the PH-CKD is
still being identified under the French registration (F-GIUF). This discrepancy should be rectified with the next upcoming revision.
OPERATIONAL CONSIDERATIONS
- To identify that the correct manuals are being used onboard each aircraft, the following color coding has been assigned for the binders and/or checklists:
• ERF > blue or grey
• BCF > red or orange.
GENERAL
- In this section a comparison is made between the following chapters:
• Bulletins
• Supplemental Procedures.
- The ERF reference is based on the KLM manual, B747-400 FCOM 1.
- The BCF reference is based on the Martinair (MTH) Boeing manual, FCOM Volume 1.
The following bulletins are valid for the BCF / ERF Operation.

GENERAL
- On the following pages a detailed comparison of the aircraft systems on each aircraft is made.
- In identifying the differences, the ERF has been chosen as a reference .
- For practical reasons, the references that the differences are based on, e.g. the manuals of Martinair (BCF) and KLM (ERF), are also included.

- On the following pages the difference in QRH procedures and or Memory Items of the B744 BCF and the B744 ERF are depicted. The mentioned
differences are with references to the 744 ERF QRH.
- The KLM QRH is developed to be used for all B747-400 configurations in their fleet (e.g. Pax / Combi & Freighter). The QRH differentiates between tail
numbers when there is a mismatch in B744 configuration.
- For our ERF operation, the tail numbers F-GIUF (= PH-CKD), PH-CKA-CKC (this includes PH-CKB ) in the particular QRH procedure shall be used.
Reference to other tail numbers shall be disregarded. This may in some cases lead to the publication of two QRH procedures for the same NNC and
therefore requires extra discipline during NNC execution.
- The major differences which have impact through the multiple systems are:
• G/E engines (Thrust Reversers, Pneumatically operated)
• AUTOSTART function
• AUX HYD 1
• AUTO function of Anti-Ice System.
- Other differences like Cargo Nose Door, Upper Deck Configuration (Service Door) and some differences in Memory Items are listed below in the order
as they appear in the QRH.
n/a 1.14 DOOR R, UPPER DK ERF has one upper deck door
n/a 1.16 DOOR NOSE CARGO ERF has a Nose Door

− After Landing:
• Due to Hydraulic DEM 1 / AUX function, different procedure.

available.
(BCF) - Two additional Thrust Settings available (TO1 / TO2)
- Separate MULT TL available for Dry or Wet runway condition
- The definition of Full Thrust takeoff is that no assumed temperature
method (reduced) is used for the performance calculations. Therefore
the fixed derates TO1 and TO2 may be used for Full Thrust takeoff
calculations as well.
6.4.1.2 7.4.1.2 MULT TL –TABLES (conditions) (ERF) - There are separate MULT TL tables for DRY or WET rwy conditions

- Wind and QNH
- Packs OFF
- Nacelle Anti Ice ON.
(BCF) - WET or DRY runway conditions are incorporated in one MULT TL table

6.6.1.2 7.6.1.2 Centre of Gravity Limitations (BCF) - Due to more Takeoff Thrust reduction capability (up to TO2 with

can be operated.
- When operating in this area the supplemental procedure for “Low
Gross Weight, Aft CG”, has to be complied with.
(see BCF FCOM Vol 1 / SP.1.1)
(ERF) - Supplemental Procedure not available.

GENERAL
- With the re-introduction of the BCF an effort has been made to strive for as much commonality in the operation of the two aircraft sub variants.
Consequently, certain checklist items, limitations and operational procedures have been adjusted. For example:
• Normal Checklist
- Before Taxi Checklist Autobrakes . . . . RTO RP answers even though on the ERF the selector is part of the LP’s pre flight check
- Before Take-off Checklist Packs . . . . . . SET Normally, not part of BCF checklist since a PACK ON takeoff is standard
• Limitations
- Takeoff & Landing Cross Wind Limitation (dry rwy) > 30 kts on both aircraft
• Normal Procedures
- Landing Gear Lever position after takeoff and after a go around; on both aircraft sub variants the gear lever will be moved to OFF.
- In some instances common procedures are not possible due to technical or procedural differences. Therefore on the following pages a brief summary of
the operational differences is once more provided.
Airplane General Doors, Upper Deck Escape Slides (ERF) - Nose Cargo Door
- Crew Service Door with Manual Slide Pack
• No arming required
(BCF) - No Nose Door
- (2) Upper Deck Doors with Automatic Slide
• Arming & Disarming required.
Air Systems Pack Operation (ERF) PACKS OFF take-off allowed
(BCF) PACKS OFF take-off not allowed
(Only APU to PACK take-off option is available).
Anti-Ice Nacelle & Wing anti-ice System (ERF) With selectors in AUTO, automatic ON & OFF activation of
system (Only in Flight)
(BCF) Manual on & off activation and awareness required.
Automatic Flight Glide Slope Capture before Localizer (ERF) Possible
capture (BCF) Impossible.

Different Software and operational functionality.

Engines Type of Engine (ERF) - GE CF6-80C2-BF5 (62,100 lbs)
• Primary engine parameter N1
(BCF) - PW-4056 (57,100 lbs)
• Primary engine parameter EPR.
Engine Start (ERF) - AUTO Start Function
• Two engines at the same time
(BCF) - Manual Start
• One engine at a time.
Thrust Reversers (ERF) Pneumatically operated
(BCF) Hydraulically operated.
MEL
- There may be differences for MEL procedures due to different policies between KLM and Martinair.
- For the ERF we are using the KLM MEL which includes all maintenance and operational procedures.
- For the BCF we are using the AMOS MEL with a separate DDG and MEL Maintenance Procedures Manual.
- For unserviceable loading equipment for ERF refer to the M&B folder and for the BCF refer to the MEL.
Performance
- The BCF has the fixed derate options TO1 and TO2 and thus also multiple pages per station in the OM Part C.
- The BCF has no limitation on the use of CLB 2.
- The Cost Index may differ with between ERF and BCF.
- There is marked difference in procedures for V1 WET calculation.
• On the ERF we can use the FMS feature.
• On the BCF a correction has to be made with the Performance In-flight tables in the QRH according the procedure in OM B 6.4.
- The BCF has a low mass aft cg supplementary procedure.
- CRZ CG correction is only possible on the ERF.
- For the BCF no correction table is available; don’t use the ERF table on the BCF.
- The default CRZ CG for the BCF is 20% and for the ERF 8,5%.
- Using OM Part B Chapter Performance in the cockpit as read and do during pre-flight will ensure the correct procedure for the correct aircraft.
- By individual calculation of takeoff and landing performance errors can be prevented.
Dispatch
- The computer programs at Dispatch will have some features making it almost impossible to inadvertently make an ERF OFP for a BCF or vice versa.
OFP and loadsheets are linked to the AMC and thereby to aircraft registration and sub variant. Nevertheless make sure you adhere to checking all the
details according OM A 8.1.10.6.1.
- The computer loadsheet protection works in the same way as the OFP. However make sure to check it according OM A 8.1.8.3.3.
- SPC computer program is not linked to AMC, therefore a human error is possible. A double check in SPC header stating aircraft type and engine type is
compulsory.
- When using a SPC the BCF will normally have an optimum flap as default whereas the ERF has a fixed FLAPS 20 setting with a manual option of
selecting FLAPS 10.
- Also when checking the SPC according the relevant procedure in OM Part B Chapter performance, make sure that the correct aircraft type for the
respective procedure is being used.
