TERMS AND DEFINITIONS


For the purpose of this Operations Manual Part B, the following definitions shall apply. For
additional definitions, refer to Operations Manual Part A – Chapter 0:
Aerodrome operating minima: The limits of usability of an aerodrome for either take-off or landing,
usually expressed in terms of runway visual range or visibility, decision altitude/height (DA/H) and
cloud conditions.
Aeroplane: An engine-driven fixed-wing aircraft heavier than air that is supported in flight by the
dynamic reaction of the air against its wings.
Aeroplane Operating Matters (AOM): The AOM is part of the operations manual describing in detail
the characteristics and operation of the aeroplane and its systems.
Air Traffic Control Unit (ATC): A generic term meaning variously, area control centre, approach
control office or aerodrome control tower.
Air Traffic Service Unit (ATSU): The main function of the Air Traffic Service Unit (ATSU) is to
provide the flight crew and the aircraft systems with the means of managing the data link information
exchange between the aircraft and the Air Traffic Service (ATS) centres.
Aircraft: A machine that can derive support in the atmosphere from the reactions of the air other than
the reactions of the air against the earth’s surface.
Aircraft equipment: Articles, other than stores and spare parts of a removable nature, for use on board
an aircraft during flight, including first aid and survival equipment.
Aircraft type: All aircraft of the same basic design including all modifications there to except those
modifications which result in a change of handling or flight characteristics or crew complement.
Air Operator Certificate (AOC): A certificate authorizing an operator to carry out specified
commercial air transport operations.
Alternate aerodrome: An aerodrome designated by an operator for a particular flight, other than the
destination aerodrome, and to which an aircraft may proceed when it becomes impossible or
inadvisable to proceed to or land at the aerodrome of intended landing. Alternate aerodromes include
the following:
Take-off alternate: An alternate aerodrome at which an aircraft can land should this become
necessary shortly after take-off and it is not possible to use the aerodrome of departure.
En-route alternate: An aerodrome at which an aircraft would be able to land after experiencing an
abnormal or emergency condition whilst en-route.
Destination alternate: An alternate aerodrome to which an aircraft may proceed should it become
impossible or inadvisable to land at the aerodrome of intended landing.
Note: The Aerodrome from which a flight departs may also be an en-route or a destination alternate
aerodrome for that flight.
Anti-icing: In the case of ground procedures, means a procedure that provides protection against the
formation of frost or ice and accumulation of snow on treated surfaces of the aircraft for a limited
period of time (hold-over time).
Approved: Documented by the Transport Malta CAD as suitable for the purpose intended.
Authority: The component authority responsible for the safety regulation of civil aviation in the state
of the applicant or operator.

Cabin crew member: An appropriately qualified crew member, other than a flight crew or technical
crew member, who is assigned by an operator to perform duties related to the safety of passengers and
flight during operations.
Cargo: In relation to Commercial Air Transportation, any property, including animals and mail, carried
by an aircraft other than stores and accompanied baggage.
Category I (CAT I) approach operation: A precision instrument approach and landing operation
using an instrument landing system (ILS), microwave landing system (MLS), GLS (ground-based
augmented global navigation satellite system (GNSS/GBAS) landing system), precision approach
radar (PAR) or GNSS using a satellite-based augmentation system (SBAS) with a decision height (DH)
not lower than 200 ft and with a runway visual range (RVR) not less than 550 m for aeroplanes and
500 m for helicopters.
Category II (CAT II) operation: A precision instrument approach and landing operation using ILS
or MLS with:
(a) DH below 200 ft but not lower than 100 ft; and
(b) RVR of not less than 300 m.
Category IIIA (CAT IIIA) operation: A precision instrument approach and landing operation using
ILS or MLS with:
(a) DH lower than 100 ft; and
(b) RVR not less than 200 m.
Child/Children: Persons who are of an age of two years and above but who are less than 12 years of
age.
Circling: The visual phase of an instrument approach to bring an aircraft into position for landing on
a runway that is not suitably located for a straight-in approach.
Commander: The pilot designated by the operator to be in command of the aircraft.
Congested area: In relation to a city, town or settlement, any area which is substantially used for
residential, commercial or recreational purposes.
Contaminated runway: A runway of which more than 25% of the runway surface area within the
required length and width being used is covered by the following:
a) surface water more than 3 mm (0.125 in) deep, or by slush, or loose snow, equivalent to more
than 3 mm (0.125 in) of water;
b) snow which has been compressed into a solid mass which resists further compression and will
hold together or break into lumps if picked up (compacted snow); or
c) ice, including wet ice.
Contingency fuel: The fuel required to compensate for unforeseen factors that could have an influence
on the fuel consumption to the destination aerodrome.
Continuous descent final approach (CDFA): A technique, consistent with stabilized approach
procedures, for flying the final-approach segment of a non-precision instrument approach procedure as
a continuous descent, without level-off, from an altitude/height at or above the final approach fix
altitude/height to a point approximately 15 m (50 ft) above the landing runway threshold or the point
where the flare manoeuvre shall begin for the type of aircraft flown.
Converted meteorological visibility (CMV): A value, equivalent to an RVR, which is derived from
the reported meteorological visibility.

1.5.1 Pavement Classification Number (PCN) Limitation


Pavement Classification Number (PCN) is an ICAO standard expressed as a number that states the
load-carrying capacity of a pavement structure of an airport for unrestricted operations.
Aircraft Classification Number (ACN) is a number that expresses the relative effect of an individual
aircraft at a given configuration on a pavement structure for a specified standard subgrade strength.

PCN is used in combination with the ACN to ensure that the pavement structure is not subjected to
excessive wear and tear, thus prolonging its usable life. The ACN shall be lower than the PCN.

The lowest PCN for an empty B737 aircraft is 22. Corendon Airlines Europe shall not operate into
airports with a PCN lower than 30 except for ferry and technical flights. If the PCN of 30 at a particular
airport imposes performance restrictions on the operation, Corendon Airlines Europe shall request the
local Airport Authority and obtain a ‘waiver’ or ‘Pavement Strength Concession’ before operating to
this airport.

1.6.2 Centre of Gravity (CG)


In order to determine the centre of gravity of an empty aeroplane, it must be accurately weighed to
determine the position of its balance point measured in inches aft of a fixed reference line located
forward of the airplane nose. This line is called the Reference Datum Line. Selection of the Reference
Datum Line is arbitrary, but it does provide a standard point from which the movement of the centre-
of-gravity along the longitudinal axis can be measured.

The Centres of Gravity of each (empty) aircraft are calculated and tabulated with the variations
resulting from the use of different crew and pantry configurations shown in the DOW/DOI tables.
These tables are available in the EFB in digital format.

1.10 PERFORMANCE LIMITATIONS FOR APPLICABLE CONFIGURATIONS


Please refer to Chapter 4 - Performance of this manual.

1.11 LIMITATIONS ON WET OR CONTAMINATED RUNWAYS


The following information applies to take-offs on wet or contaminated runways:
 For wet runways, reduced thrust (fixed derate, assumed temperature method, or both) is allowed
provided a suitable take-off performance calculation is made to account for the increased stopping
distance required on a wet surface
 For runways contaminated by slush, snow, standing water, or ice, reduced thrust (fixed derate) is
allowed provided a suitable take-off performance calculation is made to account for the runway
surface condition. The use of reduced thrust using the assumed temperature method, whether
alone, or in combination with a fixed derate, is not allowed
 V1 may be reduced to minimum V1 to provide an increased stopping margin, provided that the
field length required for a continued take-off from the minimum V1, and obstacle clearance, meet
the regulatory requirements. The determination of such a minimum V1 may require a real-time
performance calculation tool or other performance information supplied by dispatch. EFB
applications enable flight crew to make the necessary adjustments.
 Take-offs are not recommended when slush, wet snow, or standing water depth is more than 1/2
inch (13 mm) or dry snow depth is more than 4 inches (102 mm).

Type of Contamination T/O Landing


Standing Water 12.5 mm 12.5 mm
Slush or Wet Snow 12.5 mm 12.5 mm
Dry Snow 102 mm 75 mm

For detailed information, please refer to Chapter 4 of this manual - Performance.

1.12 AIRFRAME CONTAMINATION


It is permitted to take-off with light coatings of frost, up to 1/8 inch (3 mm) thick, on the lower wing
surfaces due to cold fuel, however, all leading edge devices, all control surfaces, tab surfaces, upper
wing surfaces and control surface balance panel cavities must be free of snow, ice and frost.

If the frost on the lower surface is greater than 1/8 inch (3 mm) in thickness, all snow, ice and frost on
the wings must be removed using appropriate deicing/anti-icing procedures.

Thin hoarfrost is acceptable on the upper surface of the fuselage provided all vents and ports are clear.
Thin hoarfrost is a uniform white deposit of fine crystalline texture, which usually occurs on exposed
surfaces on a cold and cloudless night, and which is thin enough to distinguish surface features
underneath, such as paint lines, markings or lettering.

For detailed information, please refer to OM-Part A Chapter 8.2.4 and Boeing FCOM.

2. NORMAL PROCEDURES

2.1 INTRODUCTION
Corendon Airlines Europe uses the Boeing 737 QRH and FCOM as a reference checklist for normal
and abnormal procedures. Every pilot is issued with a digital copy and each aircraft has one hardcopy.
These are updated by the Documentation Department.

This chapter is designed to cover all normal procedures for the B737-800 and B737-8 (MAX).

Normal procedures are supplemented by Internal Coordination Sheets (Memos).

Operational safety requires all pilots to follow the normal procedures. Personal additions or omissions
are absolutely forbidden. A pilot should inform his/her colleagues of any deviations.

The PIC shall, in an emergency situation that requires an immediate decision and action, take any
action s/he considers necessary under the circumstances. In such cases s/he may deviate from the rules,
operational procedures and methods described in this manual in the interest of safety.

If any conflict arises between the terms of this manual, Operations Manual Part-A and the Boeing
FCOM/QRH, then the most restrictive manual will take precedence.

If there are areas that you disapprove of, or suggestions you would like to make, then please contact
the Flight Operations Department.

WARNING!: The in-flight simulation of emergencies while passengers and/or


cargo are being transported on board the aircraft is prohibited.

2.1.1 Normal Procedures Philosophy and Assumptions


Normal procedures confirm that for each phase of flight:
 the condition of the aeroplane is satisfactory,
 the configuration of the flight deck is correct.

Normal procedures are followed on each flight.

Normal procedures are used by trained flight crew members and assume:
 that all systems operate normally,
 the full use of all automated systems (LNAV, VNAV, autoland, autopilot, and autothrottle). This
does not preclude the possibility of manual flight for pilot proficiency where allowed.

Normal procedures also assume coordination with the ground crew before:
 hydraulic system pressurization, or
 flight control surface movement, or
 aeroplane movement.

Normal procedures do not include steps for flight deck lighting and crew comfort items.

Normal procedures are implemented by memory and scan flow. The panel illustration in this chapter
shows the scan flow. The scan flow sequence may be changed as needed.

2.1.2 Configuration Check


It is the responsibility of crew members to verify correct system response. Before engine start, use
system lights to verify each system's condition or configuration. After engine start, the master caution
system alerts the crew to warnings or cautions out of the normal field of view.

If an incorrect configuration or response has been made:


 verify that the system controls are set correctly
 check the respective circuit breaker as required. Maintenance must first determine that it is safe to
reset a tripped circuit breaker on the ground
 test the respective system light as needed

Before engine start, use the individual system lights to verify the status of a system. If an individual
system light indicates an inappropriate condition:
 check the Dispatch Deviations Guide, or the operator equivalent, to decide whether the condition
has a dispatch effect
 decide whether maintenance is required

If, during, or after, engine start, a red warning or amber caution light illuminates:
 do the relevant non-normal checklist (NNC)
 on the ground, check the Dispatch Deviations Guide or the operator equivalent

If, during recall, an amber caution illuminates and then extinguishes after a master caution reset:
 check the Dispatch Deviations Guide or the operator equivalent
 the relevant non-normal checklist is not needed

Master Caution Reset Procedure:

The Master Caution system alerts the crew members to warning lights out of the normal field of view.

Any time a MASTER CAUTION light illuminates on the ground, or in flight, crew member resetting
the system must announce “Master caution __ check and reset” the other pilot must response
“CHECK”.

Pilot monitoring (First Officer on the ground) should;


a) Investigate and identify the reason for master caution,
b) Verify that the system controls are set correctly
c) Use the individual system lights to verify the system status
d) Take all necessary measures.
e) After resetting the system, complete all necessary actions

2.1.3 General Crew Duties and Task Sharing


One pilot must be at the controls at all times and must be aware of his primary responsibility to maintain
situational awareness of the aeroplane position and configuration. S/he may be given additional
responsibilities as the situation dictates (i.e. monitoring ATC), but must not get distracted from this
primary responsibility, for example, during approach briefing set up, paper work, passenger
announcement, etc.
When it is intended to land the aeroplane in a non-normal configuration, the Commander SHOULD
take control of the aeroplane (PF). This control change should be made upon Commander’s request at
a safe altitude, and once the configuration of the aeroplane has been stabilised. During training
however, the First Officer may maintain PF status at the request of the instructor.
Preflight and postflight crew duties are divided between the Captain and First Officer. The Phase of
flight duties are divided between the Pilot Flying (PF) and the Pilot Monitoring (PM).
Each crew member is responsible for operating the controls and switches in their area of responsibility:
 The phase of flight areas of responsibility for both normal and non-normal procedures are shown
in the Area of Responsibility illustrations in this section. Typical panel locations are shown.
 The preflight and postflight areas of responsibility are defined by the “Preflight Procedure -
Captain” and “Preflight Procedure – First Officer”.
The Captain may direct actions outside of the crew member’s area of responsibility.
The general PF phase of flight responsibilities are:
 flight path and airspeed control
 airplane configuration
 navigation
The general PM phase of flight responsibilities are:
 checklist reading
 communication
 tasks asked for by the PF
 monitoring flight path, airspeed, aeroplane configuration, and navigation
Taxiing of an aeroplane is done by Captain, First Officer monitors taxiing.
The normal procedures allocate tasks by reference to crew position (C, F/O, PF, or PM):
 in the procedure title, or
 in the far right column, or
 in the column heading of a table
The mode control panel is the PF’s responsibility. When flying manually, the PF directs the PM to
make the required changes on the mode control panel.
The Captain has the final authority for all tasks directed and carried out.
Crew Teamwork:
a) The whole flight crew is a team.
b) Close cooperation between the cockpit and the cabin is essential at all times.
c) The primary task of the cabin crew is to ensure safety and service for the passengers.
d) Non-flight related requests from the flight deck should be considered accordingly.
e) The Captain prior to each rotation must brief the cabin crew.

Transfer of Aeroplane Control:


NOTE: Leaving aircraft control seat below 10,000 ft (AFE/AAL) for the purpose of transferring
duties to another pilot flight crew member is prohibited.

Before the transfer of aeroplane control, the “YOU HAVE CONTROLS” callout must be made by
the flight crew member who has the control of the aeroplane at that time and the “I HAVE
CONTROLS” callout must be made by the other flight crew member who has just taken the controls.
Before the transfer of aeroplane control the PF shall inform the PM of the flight condition (VNAV,
LNAV, HDG, SPEED, CLIMB and DESCENT etc.)
a) The PF shall handover controls to the PM when, doing paperwork, stowing charts, preparing for
approach and briefings or for any other reason which would interfere with his/her duties as PF.
b) During take-off, the Captain shall handover the controls to First Officer after pressing the TO/GA
switch and calling “N1 TO/GA” on the FMA, and callling “YOU HAVE CONTROLS”, if the
First Officer is PF.
c) The Captain shall take over the controls from First Officer not later than “80 KNOTS” callout
during landing roll, if the First Officer is PF.
Delegation of Pilot Flying (PF):
The Captain shall decide who will be the PF or PM on the first flight of the day, at the end of preflight
briefing in the dispatch office.
NOTE: Take-off and landing shall be performed by the Captain if the runway length is less than
7,000 feet (2,100 meters).
Deviations from Standard Procedure:
a) Deviations from standard procedure may occasionally be necessary.
b) In such cases, all flight crew members must be aware of the deviation from normal standards.
c) A deviation from standard is limited only by the necessity of the condition or situation.
d) The Captain retains the final authority for the direction and performance of all actions.
Transfer of Radio Communication:
The responsibility of the transfer of the radio communication should be carried out by calling “OFF
NUMBER ONE” and verified by calling “I HAVE NUMBER ONE”. Returning to communication
should be “BACK TO NUMBER ONE”. Flight crew should inform each other about flight conditions
and radio frequency change(s). If there is no change(s) “NO CHANGE” should be called.
Scan Flows and Areas of Responsibility:
The scan flow and areas of responsibility diagrams shown below are representative and may not match
the configuration(s) of your aeroplane.
The scan flow diagram provides general guidance on the order each flight crew member should follow
when carrying out the preflight and postflight procedures. Specific guidance on the items to be checked
are detailed in the amplified Normal Procedures. For example, preflight procedure details are in the
Preflight Procedure - Captain and Preflight Procedure - First Officer.

2.1.4 Control Display Unit (CDU) Procedures


Before taxi, first officer shall make CDU entries/changes and the entries/changes shall be verified by
the Captain.

Where possible, CDU entries should be made before taxi or when the aircraft has stopped. During taxi,
all CDU changes and route modifications shall be carried out by the First Officer. The Commander
must verify the entries before they are executed.

In flight, the PM shall make the CDU entries. The PF may also make simple CDU entries during cruise.

During high workload times, for example departure or arrival, try to reduce the need for CDU entries.
Do this by using the MCP heading, altitude, and speed control modes. The MCP can be easier to use
than entering complex route modifications into the CDU.

2.1.5 MCP Procedures


During flight preparation MCP operation should be performed by PF. During taxi, all MCP changes
shall be carried out by F/O and by PM during manual flight. All MCP changes performed have to be
verified on the FMA (including automatic FMA changes such as RETARD, ARM, FMC SPEED
VNAV PATH etc.) and announced verbally by the crew member making the change and the other
flight crew member should verify it by stating “CHECKED”.

Manual Flight:
The PF should inform the PM when s/he disengages the autopilot(s) and/or the autothrottle by stating
“AUTOPILOT and/or AUTOTHROTTLE DISENGAGED”.

The PF will instruct the PM to make all MCP changes by calling “SET FL/ALT…”, “SET SPEED…”,
“SET HDG…” etc. The PM should inform the PF after making MCP changes by stating “HDG…SET”,
“FL/ALT…SET”, “SPEED…SET” etc. Thereafter the PF should verify this change by stating
“CHECKED”.

Automatic Flight:
The PF should call “AUTOPILOT A/B ENGAGED COMMAND” when the autopilot is engaged. All
MCP changes/entries should be carried out by the PF and should be called out as “HEADING…SET”,
“FL/ALT…SET” or “SPEED…SET” etc. The PM should verify this change by calling “CHECKED”.
The PF may ask the PM for making MCP changes during automatic flights due to WX or other reasons.
The PF should inform the PM when s/he engages the A/T as well. It is recommended to use the A/P
and A/T together in flight (if applicable except single engine operation).

2.1.6 Autopilot Flight Director System (AFDS) Procedures


The crew must always monitor:
 aeroplane course,
 vertical path,
 speed.

When selecting a value on the MCP, verify that the respective value changes on the flight instruments,
as applicable.

The crew must verify manually selected or automatic AFDS changes. Use the FMA to verify mode
changes for the:
 autopilot,
 flight director,
 autothrottle.

During LNAV and VNAV operations, verify all changes to the aeroplane’s:
 course,
 vertical path,
 thrust,
 speed.

Announcing changes on the FMA and thrust mode display when they occur is a good CRM practice.

2.1.7 Procedures for the use of the Normal Checklists


Normal checklists are organised according to the phase of flight and are used to verify that certain
critical procedural steps have been accomplished. Only procedural steps that, if omitted, would have a
direct and adverse impact on normal operations are included.
The checklists used by flight crew are prepared in accordance with the last revision of the QRH. They
are available in the cockpit of each aeroplane as paper copy and also in digital format on EFBs and on
the company digital library. QRH revisions which require significant change in current Corendon
Airlines Europe checklists should be incorporated with immediate effect after the revision has been
received.
The position of a control, or indication, is visually verified and stated in response to a checklist
challenge. When a disagreement between the response and checklist answer occurs, it is mandatory
that the checklist be discontinued until the disagreement has been resolved.
a) The normal checklist is organised according to the phase of flight
b) The normal checklist is used to verify that critical steps have been completed.
c) The normal checklists are used after carrying out all of the respective procedural steps.
d) The following table shows which pilot calls for the checklist and which pilot reads the checklist.
Both pilots visually verify that each item is correctly configured or that the required step has been
completed. The column on the right shows which pilot gives the response.
CHECKLIST CALL READ VERIFY RESPOND
PREFLIGHT Captain First Officer Both Area of responsibility
BEFORE START Captain First Officer Both Area of responsibility
BEFORE TAXI Captain First Officer Both Area of responsibility

CRUISE PF PM Both Area of responsibility
DESCENT PF PM Both Area of responsibility
APPROACH PF PM Both Area of responsibility
LANDING PF PM Both PF
SHUTDOWN Captain First Officer Both Area of responsibility
SECURE Captain First Officer Both Area of responsibility
a) If the aeroplane has not been configured as is required:
1) Stop the checklist,
2) Complete the relevant procedural steps,
3) Continue the checklist.
b) If it becomes apparent that an entire procedure has not been carried out:
1) Stop the checklist,
2) Complete the entire procedure,
3) Re-do checklist from the start.
Try to complete the checklists before or after periods of high workload.
The crew may need to stop a checklist for a short time to perform other tasks. If interruption is short
continue the checklist with the next step. After longer interruptions, the checklist should be read again
from the beginning. If a pilot is not sure at which point checklist was stopped it should be read again
from the beginning.
After the completion of any checklist, the pilot reading the checklist calls, “___CHECKLIST
COMPLETE”.

2.1.8 Callouts
Both crew members should be aware of altitude, aeroplane position and situation.

Avoid nonessential conversation during critical phases of flight, particularly during taxi, take-off,
approach and landing. Unnecessary conversation reduces crew efficiency and alertness and is not
recommended when below 10,000 feet MSL / FL100. At high altitude airports, adjust this altitude
upwards, as required.

Callouts are provided in the interests of good Crew Resource Management.

The Pilot Monitoring (PM) makes callouts based on instrument indications or observations for the
appropriate condition. The Pilot Flying (PF) should verify the condition/location from the flight
instruments and acknowledge. If the PM does not make the required callout, the PF should make it.

The PM calls out significant deviations from command airspeed or flight path. Either pilot should call
out any abnormal indications of the flight instruments (flags, loss of deviation pointers, etc.).

One of the basic fundamentals of Crew Resource Management is that each crew member must be able
to supplement or act as a back-up for the other crew member. Proper adherence to recommended
callouts is an essential element of a well-managed flight deck. These callouts provide both crew
members with the neccessary information about aircraft systems as well as the participation of the other
crew member. The absence of a callout at the appropriate time may indicate the malfunction of an
aircraft system or indication, or indicate the possibility of incapacitation of the other pilot.

The PF should acknowledge all GPWS voice callouts except altitude callouts during approach while
below 500 feet AFE. The recommended callout of “CONTINUE” or “GO-AROUND” at minimums is
not considered an altitude callout and should always be made. If the automatic electronic voice callout
is not heard by the flight crew, the PM should make the callout. No callout is necessary from the PM
if the GPWS voice callout has been acknowledged by the PF.

2.1.8.1 Standard Callouts Usage

Standard callouts are used to:


 Give a command (i.e., task delegation) or transfer information,
 Acknowledge a command or an information transfer,
 Give a response or ask a question (i.e. feedback),
 Call out a change of indication (e.g. a mode transition or reversion) or,
 Identify a specific event (e.g. crossing an altitude or a flight level).
 Identify exceedances.

The use of standard callouts is of paramount importance for the optimum use of automation (i.e, for
awareness of the arming, or engagement, of modes by calling FMA changes, target selections, FMS
entries, etc.).
OM PART B Page: B-64

AEROPLANE TYPE B737-800 & MAX-8 Rev Date: 01.02.2017


OPERATING MATTERS Rev No: 0.0

When the pilot’s (PF) intention is clearly transmitted to the other pilot (PM), the standard callout will
also;
 Facilitate the cross-check of the FMA and PFD/ND, as applicable,
 Facilitate the cross-check and backup between both pilots.

Standard callouts should be defined for cockpit crew/cabin crew communications in both:
 Normal conditions (departure and arrival) and,
 Abnormal or emergency situations (cabin depressurization, on-ground emergency/evacuation,
crew incapacitation, forced landing or ditching, etc.).

The following generic standard calls shall be used to express a command or response:

CHECK:
A command for the other pilot to check an item that has not been SET correctly. Example;
“CHECK ALTITUDE’’
‘’CHECK SPEED’’

CHECKED:
A confirmation that an item has been checked. Example;
‘’SPEED CHECKED’’
Note that the use of the words “Checked”’ and “Check” are often confused; the convention is that:
- “Checked” is confirmation that an item has been checked by the other crew member and
- “Check” is a command to check an item.

SET:
A command for the other pilot to set a target value or a configuration. Example;
“SET GO-AROUND ALTITUDE …”
“SET QNH…”
“SET FL…”
“SET HDG…”
“SET FLAPS …”

ON/OFF:
ON or OFF following the name of a system is either:
A command for the other pilot to select/deselect the related system or,
‘’ENGINE ANTI-ICE ON’’
“CENTRE TANK FUEL PUMPS OFF”
A response confirming the status of the system.
‘’ENGINE ANTI-ICE ON’’
“CENTRE TANK FUEL PUMPS OFF”

2.1.8.2 FMA Usage

 The PF will call out only changes which are boxed for 10 seconds on FMA, including
A/THROTTLE.
 The PM shall confirm the stated change on the FMA and respond with a “CHECKED”.

It is important not to enter into a race to call FMA changes as this has a negative effect on good CRM.
If the PF has not called the FMA changes when box disappears, the PM should then make the CALL
and PF must acknowledge.

FMA must be read from Left to Right.

Engaged or Arm modes on the FMA shall be called verbally.

Example 1: ATC: Turn Right Heading 350 degrees


PF: Sets Heading 350, Selects HDG-SEL, says “HDG 350 SET” and after seeing the “HDG SEL”
engaged on the FMA, calls “HDG SEL”.
PM says “CHECKED”

Example 2: ATC: Turn Right Heading 250 degrees, Climb FL 250


PF: Sets Heading 250, Selects HDG-SEL; Sets Altitude 25,000, Selects VNAV on MCP; and says
“HDG 250 SET, FL 250 SET” and calls out the changes on the FMA.
PM says “CHECKED”

When a direct route is commanded on the CDU LEG’s page, the PF should call;
“….. ON TOP’’
“….. ON TOP, CONFIRM’’ PM,
‘’EXECUTE’’ PF,

ALTITUDE/FLIGHT LEVEL CALLS:


Only Altitude callout, “1,000 FEET TO LEVEL OFF “ shall be called out by the PM, 1,000 ft prior to
target altitude on MCP. And call must be acknowledged by the PF as “CHECKED”.

Good taxi technique requires an awareness of the proximity to obstacles, the possibility of thrust
causing damage to equipment or injury to personnel and a consideration of passenger comfort. Thrust
should always be increased evenly on both engines to initiate taxi. Break-away thrust at high gross
weights could be damaging to objects behind airplane. Limit breakaway thrust is Max. 40% N1.

When required to load or modify the FMC due to a revised clearance being issued, use caution and
maintain proper outside vigilance to ensure safe taxiing. The First Officer should make the required
entries. When convenient, The Commander shall verify that entries have been correctly made.

If ATC clearance is received, or a change to the previous clearance is received during taxi, the First
Officer will enter the changes into the CDU, make MCP changes/entries and set the transponder after
having written them on the OFP. Then s/he confirms the changes / entries with the Commander. If no
transponder code is assigned, set appropriate standard code (2000).

Prior to Taxi:
 Consider NOTAMS and the current ATIS for any taxiway or runway closures, construction
activity, or other airport risks that could affect the taxi route.
 Both pilots must verify that the correct aeroplane position has been entered in the FMC.
 Both EFB holders must be aligned and the EFB airport moving map shows correct placement.
 Brief the applicable items from airport diagrams and related charts to include the location of hold
short lines and hot spots.
 Ensure both crew members understand the expected taxi route.

NOTE 1: Normal taxi speed is approximately 20 knots, adjusted for the prevailing conditions. On long
straight taxi ways, speeds up to 30 knots are acceptable, however at speeds greater than 20 knots caution
must be exercised when using the nose wheel steering wheel to avoid over controlling. When
approaching a turn, speed should be slowed to a speed appropriate to the conditions. On a dry surface,
use approximately 10 knots for turn angles greater than those typically required for high speed runway
turnoffs. The First Officer should call “GROUNDSPEED” if the groundspeed is more than 30 knots.
Use of reverse thrust is not recommended during taxiing. Momentary use of idle reserve thrust may be
necessary on slippery surfaces for aeroplane control while taxiing.

 In low visibility conditions, call out all pertinent signs to verify position.
 Read back all clearances. If any crewmember is in doubt regarding the clearance, verify taxi
routing with the assigned clearance or request clarification. Stop the aircraft if the clearance is in
doubt.
 If ground/obstruction clearance is in doubt, stop the aeroplane and verify clearance or obtain a
wing-walker.
 Avoid distractions during critical taxi phases; plan ahead for checklist accomplishment and
company communications.
 Consider delaying checklist accomplishment until stopped during low visibility operations.
 Do not allow ATC or anyone else to rush you.
 Verify that the runway is clear (both directions) and that clearance has been received prior to
entering a runway
 Be constantly aware of the equipment, structures, and following aircraft when the engines are
being operated above idle thrust.
 At night use all appropriate aeroplane lighting.
 When entering any active runway, ensure that the exterior lights specified in the FCOM are
illuminated.
 Differential braking and braking whilst turning should be avoided.
 Avoid following other aircraft too closely.
 Taxiing out for flight with one engine operating, is not permitted.
 Taxiing during adverse weather conditions requires awareness of the condition of the surface.

2.8.1 Taxiing and Carbon Brake Life


Carbon brakes are now standard equipment on the Boeing aircraft. The use of these brakes provides a
substantial reduction in airplane operating empty weight. However, in-service experience has generally
shown lower brake life than originally expected. Improvements in carbon brake life can be achieved
through better understanding of the operational factors affecting carbon brake life.
Dynamometer tests have confirmed that the severity of brake application has less of an effect on the
life of carbon brakes than the cumulative number of brake applications. For carbon brakes, brake
wear is primarily dependent upon the number of brake applications. For example, one firm brake
application causes less wear than several light applications. It is therefore not surprising that the
majority of carbon brake wear occurs during taxi to and from the ramp where frequent brake
applications are typically required. Continuous light applications of the brakes to keep the airplane
from accelerating over a long period of time (riding the brakes) to maintain a constant taxi speed
produces more wear than proper brake application. During taxi, proper braking involves a steady
application of the brakes to decelerate the airplane. Release the brakes as lower speed is achieved. After
the airplane accelerates, repeat the braking sequence.
The Boeing recommended taxi braking technique is as follows:
“Avoid “riding” the brakes to control taxi speed as brake heat build-up could become excessive. If taxi
speed is too high, reduce speed with a steady brake application and then release the brakes to allow
OM PART B Page: B-85

them to cool. Continuous braking should be avoided. Allow for decreased braking effectiveness on
slick surfaces.”
Recommendations
1. Anticipate traffic conditions to minimize taxi braking requirements.
2. Avoid the use of excessive thrust during taxi accelerations and/or during sustained taxi runs.
3. Anticipate engine spool-up and spool-down characteristics to avoid overshooting the desired
taxi speed.
4. Minimize brake applications by planning ahead, "riding" the brakes during taxi.
These above recommendations are intended as general taxi guidelines only: SAFETY AND
PASSENGER COMFORT SHOULD REMAIN THE PRIMARY CONSIDERATION.

2.9 BEFORE TAKE-OFF PROCEDURE

Wait until line up clearance has been received before starting the Before Take-off Checklist. It should
always be read by the First Officer and responded to by the Commander. Again, the items should be
actioned first and then the checklist read-challenge and response. Review the thrust setting, and V
speeds before take-off, if there is any change.

Unnecessary conversations shall not take place in the Flight Deck from the start of "Before Start
Checklist” until FL 100. It is the responsibility of the Commander to ensure that the aircraft is

2.10 TAKE-OFF PROCEDURE

The following procedures are written with the Captain as the Pilot Flying. The Commander may
delegate the Pilot Flying role to the First Officer. The Captain, however, retains final authority for all
actions directed and performed. Regardless of whether the Captain or First Officer is performing the
take-off, the Captain will carry out the REJECT (Rejected Take Off).

The First Officer should, however be prepared to immediately take over the controls from the Captain
in the event of incapacitation. From the start of the take-off roll to the enroute climb configuration, it
is essential that the activities of the PF should be closely monitored and any deviation from proper
procedure has to be questioned.

Similarly, any calls made must be routinely acknowledged and any lack of such acknowledgment must
be immediately questioned. The commander and First Officer shall monitor flight instruments and be
aware of the V1 and V2 speeds during the take-off roll.

If the Captain or First Officer observes a condition or a situation that may affect the safety of flight, it
will be immediately called out. The take-off will be rejected immediately in the event of an engine
failure, engine fire, unsafe configuration, predictive windshear (if installed), if the airplane is unsafe or
unable to fly or any other situation adversely affecting the safety of flight.

Immediate Turn after Take-off: If Obstacle clearance, noise abatement, or departure procedures
require an immediate turn after take-off, initiate the turn at minimum 400 feet AGL and maintain V2 +
15 to V2 + 25 knots with take-off flaps.

thrust. If not, then it should be manually set by PM.
If GPS not installed, or if installed but GPS updating is not available, and departing from any position
that is not co-incident with this landing threshold, runway TO SHIFT must be entered to ensure that
the aircraft symbol on the EFIS Map updates to the actual aircraft position when TO/GA is pressed.
Failure to do this incurs a map shift.
Monitor the engine instruments during the take-off. Call out any abnormal indications.
Adjust take-off thrust before 60 knots as needed. During strong headwinds, if the thrust levers do not
advance to the planned take-off thrust, manually advance the thrust levers before 60 knots.

NOTE 2: Since the minimum flap retraction altitude is 400 AFE, flap retraction may be started by
400ft AFE if Flaps 15 or Flaps 25 setting has been used for take off due to field limitation. Caution
must be excercised in order not to deviate from relevant Noise Abatement Departure Procedures.

2.13 DESCENT PROCEDURE

Start the Descent Procedure and complete the approach briefing before reaching the top of descent
point.

Prior to commencing descent, both pilots shall ensure that EFB holders are alligned correctly and EFB
panel kill switches are ON.

The applicable charts for the arrival will be selected on the EFB and will include STARS, noise
abatement, approach and taxi charts. For airports where no STAR or profile exists, area charts or low
en-route charts will be available in determining MSA's and terrain relief. When the temperature is
lower than ISA, true altitude will be lower than indicated altitude. Altimeter errors become significantly
larger when the surface temperature approaches minus 10° C or less and also become greater with
increasing height above the altimeter reference source. For Cold Temperature Altitude Corrections
criteria, refer to FCOM Supplementary Procedures / Cold Weather Operations.

If turbulence is expected during the descent, the Cabin Crew shall be advised.

Although the flight crew normally programme the FMC for the expected approach, they should be
aware that they must proceed with the arrival cleared unless further clearance is received.

Prior to descent, the Captain and First Officer have to check terrain and applicable minimum altitudes
relative to the descent path.

The altitude allocated by ATC to an aircraft in controlled airspace should provide for adequate terrain
clearance. Nevertheless, such instructions do not relieve the pilot of his responsibility to ensure that he
maintains a safe altitude at all times. The crew should activate terrain mode below FL100/10,000 ft or
MSA, whichever is higher. Pilots are reminded to remain alert to terrain hazards and are instructed that
if they consider it essential in the interests of safety they may refuse an ATC clearance and request an
alternative. Prior to descent, the Captain and First Officer have to check terrain and applicable
minimum altitudes relative to the descent path.

P-RNAV NOTE: In the event of loss of P-RNAV capability, the flight crew should invoke contingency
procedures and navigate using an alternative means of navigation which may include the use of an
inertial system. The alternative means need not be an RNAV system.

In the event of communications failure, the flight crew should continue with the RNAV procedure in
accordance with the published lost communication procedure.

exclude a particular navigation aid. A procedure shall not be used if doubt exists as to the validity of
the procedure in the navigation database. Manual entry of any waypoint invalidates P-RNAV. A check
must be made of RNP accuracy from FMS prior to commencing the approach. Any degradation in
RNAV capabilities or if there is any loss of integrity of a navigation check, then ATC must immediately
be informed and conventional navigation procedures must be followed.

NOTE 5: When you start descent, LNAV and VNAV PATH are the best options. Use DES NOW
prompt to commence the descent on the CDU DESCENT page or ALT INTV on the MCP if applicable.
The next best pitch mode is LVL CHG for radar vectoring with HDG SEL .Use V/S when a reduced
rate of descent is desired or for altitude changes of 1,000 feet or less. Below 3,000 ft AFE a maximum
of 2,000 ft/min. should be used to avoid CFIT situations.

During descent, the minimum descent rate should not be less than 1,000 fpm.

NOTE 6: If speed brakes are required in descent, it is required that the PF keep his hand on the lever
while in use.

NOTE 7: If LVO is expected at the destination.

General Requirements for Commencement and Continuation of Approach:


 Crew Qualification: Before commencing an approach, the flight crew shall ensure they have the
appropriate qualification and certificate (CAT I, CAT II, CAT IIIA, Aerodrome Comepetence etc.)
for that type of approach and landing
 Onboard Equipment: The flight crew shall check that the onboard equipment of the aeroplane is in
accordance with MEL before commencement and continuation of approach.
 Ground Based Equipment: The flight crew shall check that the ground and aerodrome based
equipment, described in this section, are available and functional before commencement and
continuation of approach.
 Operating Minima: The flight crew shall not commence and continue an approach if the actual
meteriological conditions are below the applicable operating minima as described in the following
section:

The commander, or the pilot to whom conduct of the flight has been delegated, may commence an
instrument approach regardless of the reported RVR/VIS,

If the reported RVR/VIS is less than the applicable minimum the approach shall not be continued:
 below 1,000 ft above the aerodrome; or
 into the final approach segment in the case where the DA/H or MDA/H is more than 1,000 ft above
the aerodrome.

Where the RVR is not available, RVR values may be derived by converting the reported visibility. If,
after passing 1,000 ft above the aerodrome, the reported RVR/VIS falls below the applicable minimum,
the approach may be continued to DA/H or MDA/H.

The approach may be continued below DA/H or MDA/H, and the landing completed, provided that the
visual reference adequate for the type of approach operation and for the intended runway is established
at the DA/H or MDA/H and is maintained.

The touchdown zone RVR shall always be the essential factor which determines whether an approach
may be flown and a landing made. In adition, if reported and relevant, the midpoint and stopend RVR
must also be taken into account. The minimum RVR value for the midpoint shall be 125 m and 75 m
for the stopend.

NOTE 2: When cleared for an approach, PF shall select APP mode on EFIS panel mode selector and
shall check both localisers ACTIVE, shall check localiser indication at the desired side via ND then
arm VOR/LOC on the MCP. The PM will remain in MAP mode. It is both pilots responsibility to check
GS and LOC indications continuously.

APP mode should not be selected until:


 the ILS is tuned and identified
 the aeroplane is on an inbound intercept heading
 both localiser and glide slope pointers appear on the attitude display in the proper position
 track distance to runway is less than 18 NM and out of 8 degrees than LOC course
 clearance for the approach has been received.

The glide slope may be captured before the localiser in some aircraft. The glide slope may be captured
from either above or below. To avoid unwanted glide slope capture, LOC mode shall be selected
initially, followed by the APP mode once the localiser has been captured.

NOTE 3: Conditions permitting, landing should be made with flaps 30 for fuel conservation and Noise
Abatement. Flaps 40 should only be used for CAT II/IIIA or if required for landing distance
performance requirements.

NOTE 4:
IMC: Approaches must be fully stabilised, at the final approach speed and in the final landing
configuration when leaving 1,000 ft AGL or the outer marker whichever is the later.
VMC: Approaches must be fully stabilised at the final approach speed and in the final landing
configuration at 500 ft AGL.
The approach must be fully stabilised when the aircraft is tracking on the approach path (i.e. LOC and
GP for ILS approach) with the required configuration, attitude, speed and corresponding power.
Vertical speed shall be max. 1,000 fpm below 1,000 feet AGL.
Deceleration to the final approach speed shall be started in good time, so that stabilisation is achieved
no later than when passing 1,000 feet/AGL or the OM whichever is later. In gusty wind, special
attention is required to maintain proper speed control. During all approaches, it is mandatory to use the
radio facilities for the runway, including ILS when available, even when visual contact has been made
during an approach in good weather conditions.
Course and Glidepath Deviations vs. Terrain Clearance:
On-course alignment shall be accomplished as soon as is possible after the final interception. When
making certain types of approach, e.g. circling, necessitate turns below 1,000 feet/AGL, special
attention shall be paid to the bank angle of the aircraft.
Approach Path Deviations:
Once fully established on the ILS, and below platform altitude, the glide path shall be followed as
accurately as possible. Although a maximum of 1 dot fly-up is acceptable at the beginning of the final
approach, the deviation must be zero upon reaching the DA/DH.
An ILS final approach shall not be commenced or shall be discontinued if the LOC shows full-scale
deflection.
An NDB/VOR final descent shall only be started if the received QDM/QDR is within +/- 5 degrees of
the published inbound track.

Stabilised Approach Requirements:


During the final approach and landing phase, it is essential that the activities of the PF are closely
monitored and any deviations from proper procedures shall be questioned. Similarly, any calls made
must be routinely acknowledged and any lack of such acknowledgment must be questioned
immediately.
a) The maintenance of a stable speed, descent rate, and vertical/lateral flight path in the landing
configuration is commonly referred to as the stabilised approach concept.
b) Any significant deviation from the planned flight path, airspeed, or descent rate should be
announced. The decision to execute a go-around is no indication of poor performance.
c) Do not attempt to land from an unstable and rush approach
d) ENGINES MUST BE SPOOLED UP AND APPROACHES SHOULD BE STABILISED BY;
1) 1,000 feet above airport elevation in IMC
2) 500 feet above airport elevation in VMC.
When an aircraft is landing in a non-normal configuration, it may be necassary to prepare and configure
the aircraft so that it is stabilised prior to reaching than the above limiting altitudes.

Stabilised Approach Procedure:


An approach is stabilised when all the following criteria are met:
a) The aircraft is on the correct flight path, only small changes in heading/pitch are required to
maintain the correct flight path.
b) The aircraft speed is not more than VREF + 20 knots and not less than VREF
c) The aircraft is in the correct landing configuration
d) Sink rate is not greater than 1,000 fpm
e) Thrust setting is appropriate and stable N1 for the aircraft configuration
f) All briefings and checklists have been completed
g) ILS approaches should be flown within one dot of the Glide Slope and Localiser
h) During a circling approach, the wings should be level on final by the point where the aircraft
reaches 300 feet above airport elevation.
i) Unique approach procedures or abnormal conditions which necessitate a deviation from the above
elements of the stabilised approach require a special briefing.
If an approach becomes unstable below 1,000 feet AGL in IMC or below 500 feet AGL in VMC,
an immediate go around is required.

2.15.2 Landing Procedure - Non-ILS Approach

Non-ILS approaches are defined as:


 RNAV approach - an instrument approach procedure that relies on the aeroplane’s area
navigation equipment for navigational guidance. The FMS on Boeing airplanes is FAA-certified
RNAV equipment that provides lateral and vertical guidance referenced from an FMS position.
The FMS uses multiple sensors (as installed) for position updating to include GPS, DME-DME,
VOR-DME, LOC-GPS, and IRS.
 RNAV visual approach - a visual approach that relies on the aeroplane’s navigation equipment
to align the aircraft with a visual final. The approach is selected in the FMC and flown in the same
way as an RNAV approach until reaching the visual segment.
 GPS approach - an approach designed for use by aircraft using stand-alone GPS receivers as the
primary means of navigation guidance.
However, Boeing aeroplanes using FMS as the primary means of navigational guidance, have been
approved by the FAA to fly GPS approaches provided an RNP of 0.3 or smaller is used.
Note: A manual FMC entry of 0.3 RNP is required if not automatically provided.
 VOR approach
 NDB approach
 LOC, LOC-BC, LDA, SDF, IGS, TACAN, or similar approaches.

Non-ILS approaches are normally flown using VNAV or V/S pitch modes. The use of LVL CHG is
not recommended after the FAF. Recommended roll modes are provided in the applicable FCOM
procedure.

Corendon Airlines Europe shall use Continuous Descent Final Approach (CDFA) methods at all non-
precision approaches unless otherwise approved by the Authority for a particular approach to a
particular runway.

Notwithstanding, another approach flight technique may be used for a particular approach/runway
combination if approved by the competent authority. In such cases, the applicable minimum runway
visual range (RVR):
 shall be increased by 400 m for Category C and D aeroplanes; or
 for aerodromes where there is a public interest to maintain current operations and the CDFA
technique cannot be applied, shall be established and regularly reviewed by the competent authority
taking into account the operator’s experience, training programme and flight crew qualification.

OPERATING MATTERS Rev No: 2.0

Continuous Descent Final Approach (CDFA):


Controlled-Flight-Into-Terrain (CFIT) is a major causal category of accident and hull loss in commercial
aviation. Most CFIT accidents occur in the final approach segment of non-precision approaches; the use of
stabilised-approach criteria on a continuous descent with a constant, predetermined vertical path is seen as a
major improvement in safety during the conduct of such approaches. Operators should ensure that the following
techniques are adopted as widely as possible, for all approaches.
The elimination of level flight segments at Minimum Descent Altitude (MDA) close to the ground during
approaches, and the avoidance of major changes in attitude and power / thrust close to the runway which can
destabilise approaches, are seen as ways to reduce operational risks significantly.
The term Continuous Descent Final Approach (CDFA) has been selected to cover a technique for any type of
non-precision approach.
The advantages of CDFA are:
(a) The technique enhances safe approach operations by the utilisation of standard operating practices;
(b) The profile reduces the probability of infringement of obstacle-clearance along the final approach segment
and allows the use of MDA as DA;
(c) The technique is similar to that used when flying an ILS approach, including when executing the missed
approach and the associated go-around manoeuvre;
(d) The aeroplane attitude may enable better acquisition of visual cues;
(e) The technique may reduce pilot workload;
(f) The Approach profile is fuel efficient;
(g) The Approach profile affords reduced noise levels;
(h) The technique affords procedural integration with APV approach operations;
(i) When used and the approach is flown in a stabilised manner is the safest approach technique for all
approach operations.
Continuous Descent Final Approach:- A specific technique for flying the final approach segment of a non-
precision instrument approach procedure as a continuous descent, without level- off, from an altitude/height at
or above the final approach fix altitude/height to a point approximately 15m (50 ft) above the landing runway
threshold or the point where the flare manoeuvre should begin for the type of aircraft flown.

An approach is only suitable for application of CDFA technique when it is flown along a predetermined vertical
slope (see sub- paragraph (a) below) which follows a designated or nominal vertical profile (see sub-paragraphs
(i) and (ii) below):
(a) Predetermined Approach Slope: Either the designated or nominal vertical profile of an approach.
(i) Designated Vertical Profile: A continuous vertical approach profile which forms part of the
approach procedure design. APV is considered to be an approach with a designated vertical profile.
(ii) Nominal Vertical Profile: A vertical profile not forming part of the approach procedure design, but
which can be flown as a continuous descent.
Note: The nominal vertical profile information may be published or displayed on the approach chart to the pilot
by depicting the nominal slope or range / distance vs height.
Approaches with a nominal vertical profile are considered to be:
(i) NDB, NDB/DME;
(ii) VOR, VOR/DME;
(iii) LLZ, LLZ/DME;
(iv) VDF, SRA or
(v) RNAV/LNAV.
In order to achieve a CDFA profile, following methods shall be used by Corendon Airlines Europe;
 Instrument Approach Using VNAV
 Instrument Approach Using V/S
Use of VNAV provides several methods for obtaining an appropriate path, to include published glide paths, and
where necessary, a pilot constructed path. V/S may be used as an alternate method for making non-ILS
approaches.

Instrument Approach using VNAV:


Use the autopilot during the approach to give:
 autopilot alerts and mode fail indications
 more accurate course and glide path tracking
 lower RNP limits.
This procedure is not authorized using QFE.

Approach Preparations for using VNAV


Select the approach procedure from the arrivals page of the FMC. Tune and identify the appropriate
navaids. Do not manually build the approach or add waypoints to the procedure. If additional waypoint
references are desired, use the FIX page. To enable proper LNAV waypoint sequencing, select a
straight-in intercept course to the FAF when being radar vectored to final approach.

Verify/enter the appropriate RNP and set the DA(H) or MDA(H) using the baro minimums selector. If
required to use MDA(H) for the approach minimum altitude, the barometric minimums selector should
be set at MDA + 50 feet to ensure that if a missed approach is initiated, descent below the MDA(H)
does not occur during the missed approach.

For more information refer to B737 FCTM and FCOM.

2.18 AFTER LANDING PROCEDURE


Non-essential tasks, such as completing log books and stowing charts shall not be carried out during
taxi. Both pilots must be vigilant for possible hazards during taxi.
Normal taxi speed is approximately 20 knots, adjusted for conditions. On long straight taxi routes,
speeds up to 30 knots are acceptable, however at speeds greater than 20 knots use caution when using
the nose wheel steering wheel to avoid over controlling. When approaching a turn, speed should be
slowed to an appropriate speed for conditions. On a dry surface, use approximately 10 knots for turn
angles greater than those typically required for high speed runway turnoffs.

Engine cooldown recommendations:


 run the engines for at least 3 minutes
 use a thrust setting normally used for taxi operations
 routine cooldown times less than 3 minutes are not recommended.

Captain First Officer


Set the exterior lights as needed. Set STROBE lights to OFF.
Set the transponder mode selector as needed.
At airports equipped to track airplanes on the
ground, select an active transponder setting, but

Note: Do not taxi onto the stand if the Visual Docking System is not operating or a marshaller is not
present. If the Visual Docking System becomes unserviceable while approaching the stand, stop
immediately. Request hand signals. Adjust speed to avoid the necessity to use more than idle
thrust immediately prior to reaching the parking position. The possibility of FOD or HUMAN
INGESTION will be reduced if more than idle thrust is not required in the final stages of moving
onto the stand.

o Autoland capability may only be used on runways at or below 8,400 ft pressure altitude.
 Maintenance personnel have not downgraded the airplane capability. The aircraft must have
CAT IIIA status. Any deficiency that renders the aircraft non-CAT IIIA normally renders it
also non-CAT II. Refer to the HIL to ascertain the status of the aircraft.
 The criteria for the discontinuation of a CAT II and CAT IIIA approach are given in Corendon
Airlines Europe OM Part A Chapter 8. A high degree of attention is required during all low
visibility taxi operations.
b) For all CAT II and CAT IIIA operations, the operating procedures should ensure that all height
calls below 200 feet are based on the use of the radio altimeter and the right seat pilot continues to
monitor the aircraft instruments until the landing has been completed.
c) In the development of operating procedures for fail-passive CAT IIIA operations, attention should
be paid to the flight deck procedures for final approach.
d) In particular, procedures should be laid down for the Operation of the flight control system, and
the requirements to be made of crew in the event of malfunction/degradation. Account should be
taken of possible:
 SYSTEM FAILURES and,
 Required response to System failure warnings and,
 With special emphasis on occurrences below the DH.
e) Radio heights are to be called by the right seat pilot if the auto callout system is unserviceable.
f) LVO policy;
 On each instrument approach the Commander shall ensure that all requirements for the
approach are met.
 The Left seat pilot shall conduct all LVTO.
 The Left seat pilot shall conduct all CAT II and CAT IIIA approaches in Corendon Airlines

 Use standard callouts for the descent and start of approach.
 Establish flap and gear configuration and stabilise the aircraft at the appropriate speeds in
accordance with the standard ILS approach flight pattern.
 Complete the Landing Checklist as soon as landing configuration has been established so that
full attention can be given to monitoring the ILS approach.
 The instrument scan has to include the Flight Mode Annunciation (FMA) and the correct
sequence of the modes must be observed.
h) The duties of the Commander:
 Check DESTINATION weather;
Crosswınd: Max 15 kts
Tailwind: Max 10 kts
Headwind: Max 25 kts
Braking action: GOOD
Turbulence: Not more than “LIGHT TO MODERATE”
Precipitation: Not more than “MODERATE”
Note: These restrictions apply to autoland training practice as well.
 Check ALTERNATE weather;
 Check crew qualification currency;
 Check status of airfield facilities (ILS, Runway Lighting, RVR);

j) Commencement and Continuation of Approach;


 The commander or the pilot to whom conduct of the flight has been delegated may commence
an instrument approach regardless of the reported RVR/VIS;
 If the reported RVR/VIS is less than the applicable minimum, the approach shall not be
continued below 1,000 ft above the aerodrome;
 If after passing 1,000 ft above the aerodrome, the reported RVR/VIS falls below the applicable
minimum, the approach may be continued to DA/H or MDA/H;
 The approach may be continued below DA/H or MDA/H and the landing may be completed
provided that the visual reference adequate for the type of approach operation and for the
intended runway is established at the DA/H or MDA/H and is maintained;
 The touchdown zone RVR shall always be controlling. If reported and relevant (see Note
below), the midpoint and stopend RVR shall also be controlling. The minimum RVR value for
the midpoint shall be 125 m or the RVR required for the touchdown zone if less, and 75 m for
the stopend.
Note: ‘Relevant’ in this context means that part of the runway used during the high-speed phase of the
landing down to a speed of approximately 60 kt.
k) A Missed Approach must be initiated if;
 Any of the required elements of the airborne or ground systems become inoperative;
 Prior to touchdown, the Commander determines that an automatic / manual landing (CAT II)
automatic landing (CAT IIIA) cannot safely be accomplished in the touchdown zone;
 In conditions where it in necessary to cancel the approach or landing either flight crew member
will call “GO-AROUND”;
 A Go-around will be executed without hesitation if the “GO-AROUND” call has been made.

2.21.1.5 RECORDING OF CAT II / CAT IIIA APPROACHES
All CAT II /CAT IIIA approaches (actual or practice) are recorded in the Data Log and Low Visibility
Approach Report Form.
2.21.1.6 APPROACH CHART SUPPLIER
The supplier of the approach charts for Corendon Airlines Europe is through Jeppesen FD Pro
Application in use in the EFB or paper Jeppesen Charts if EFB malfunctions. It is understood that
Aerodrome Charts for those runways equipped for LVO operations that are available through this
Jeppesen FD Pro Application (or paper Jeppesen Charts if EFB malfunctions), are all eligible runways
that can be used by the crew for such LVO Operations.
2.21.1.7 OTHER RISKS ASSOCIATED WITH LVO
2.21.1.7.1 Runway Excursions – These can be mitigated through:
 The use of fail passive system.
 Imposing limits on minimum runway length. The Boeing Performance tool (OPT) in the
EFB automatically increases the landing distance requirements when the AUTOLAND
option is selected. Crew are to ensure the selection of this AUTOLAND option during LVO.
 Avoiding contaminated runways. The crew shall avoid CAT III when the braking action is
below 'GOOD' status. Refer to OM-B 2.21.1.1 (h).
2.21.1.7.2 Runway Incursions – These are mitigated through proper LVP chart briefing and
identification of hot spots. Refer to OM-A 8.3.20.
2.21.1.7.3 Icing Conditions – Icing is mitigated through the use of anti-ice. Refer to OM-B 1.13.3.

2.21.2 RNAV (GPS) / RNAV (GNSS) Approach

See also OM Part A for more information about RNAV (GPS) / RNAV (GNSS) Approach.
For RNAV (GPS) and RNAV (GNSS) procedures, use the Landing Procedure - Instrument Approach
using VNAV in Normal Procedures.

An RNAV(GNSS) approach covers three possible types of approach procedure:

Identified on the IAC chart


Non-precision approach LNAV-MDA/MDH
by the minima line
Identified on the IAC chart
APV Baro VNAV approach LNAV/VNAV - DA/DH
by the minima line
Identified on the IAC chart
APV SBAS approach *LPV - DA/DH
by the minima line
* Boeing airplanes are not equipped to utilize LPV minimums.

When published on the same RNAV(GNSS) chart, these three final approaches have an initial and
intermediate approach, as well as a common missed approach.
a) Non-precision Aproach - RNAV(GNSS) LNAV
RNAV(GNSS) LNAV approaches are not associated with a vertical track in space.
 Lateral guidance is by means of the RNAV/GNSS system and is based on GNSS positioning
 Vertical flight management is exactly the same as for non-precision approaches (VOR/DME,
NDB, etc.), using either the V/S (vertical speed) or the (baro) VNAV function.
b) APV BaroVNAV – RNAV(GNSS) LNAV/VNAV
 Lateral guidance is by means of the RNAV/GNSS system and is based on GNSS positioning
 Vertical guidance uses the (baro) VNAV function
c) APV SBAS – RNAV(GNSS) LPV*
 Lateral and vertical guidance use the RNAV/GNSS system and are based on GNSS positioning
using the GPS signal and the SBAS.
* Boeing airplanes are not equipped to utilize LPV minimums.

Cold Temperature Corrections:


On the RNAV(GNSS) approach charts for which there is an APV BaroVNAV approach (presence of
LNAV/VNAV minima), a minimum temperature use is published.
As a general rule, pilots should not use the FMS (Baro)VNAV function when the temperature is below
the temperature limit published on the approach chart.
NOTE: Boeing airplanes have uncompensated Baro-VNAV systems and are prohibited from using
LNAV/VNAV minima on approach charts when operating outside of published temperature
restriction limits.
The associated non-precision approach (LNAV) can be performed but management of the vertical
plane should use another flight technique such as Instrument Approach using Vertical Speed (V/S).
Pilots should then apply the cold temperature corrections necessary to all published minimum
altitudes/heights. This includes:
a) the altitudes/heights for the initial and intermediate segment(s);
b) the MDA/H, DA/H; and
c) subsequent missed approach altitudes/heights.

Lateral or Vertical Route Modifications:


RNAV(RNP) procedures must be flown as published in the navigation database. Pilot defined routes
and lateral or vertical route modifications are not allowed.

VTK and XTK Information:


The crew must refer to the FMC PROGRESS page for XTK and VTK information during the approach.
Progress page 4/4 displays essential Required Navigation Performance (RNP) information.
The items displayed include waypoint identifier, RNP and ANP values, course, distance, glide path,
cross track error, speeds, altitudes and vertical deviation.

Excessive Cross-track Error:


An excessive cross-track error does not result in a crew alert for airplanes without Navigation
Performance Scales (NPS).
During RNP approach operation, anytime the deviation exceeds the limit the crew should execute a
missed approach unless suitable visual reference is already established. In the event of a missed
approach, the crew may consider requesting an alternate clearance.

ANP Alerts:
If UNABLE REQD NAV PERF - RNP alert occurs during RNP approach operation, the crew should
execute a missed approach unless suitable visual reference is already established. In the event of a
missed approach, the crew may consider requesting an alternate non-RNP clearance.

Autopilot Use:
During RNAV approaches using VNAV, VNAV PTH is required for any leg segment with a coded
glide path angle. These procedures show only LNAV/VNAV approach minima and do not allow use
of LNAV only. Use of the flight director alone may not provide sufficient guidance to maintain the
path accurately.

RNAV Abnormal Procedures:


If there is any doubt about the accuracy and safety of the flight, the crew must commence a climb to
MSA.
 Fly the airplane
 LNAV and if possible A/P and F/D must be used, CDI, MAP mode must be monitored.
 Cross track error should be maintained within 0.5 NM, the maximum shall not be more than 1.0
NM
 In case of FMC FAILURE, EGPWS WARNING or XTK ERROR above 1NM, P-RNAV must be
cancelled and during RNAV RNP0.3 approaches beyond FAF, a missed approach should be
executed.
 If the ANP is above 1 or 0.3 “UNABLE REQD NAV PERF – RNP” warning will come. In this
situation P-RNAV must be cancelled or a missed approach shall be flown in RNAV RNP
approaches.
 For P-RNAV, in case of A/P and/or LNAV failure, the route must be maintained within ±1 NM
with the magenta route on the ND (MAP), and if this is not possible, conventional navigation must
be executed.
 If a climb above MSA is necessary, it must be executed in the shortest time.
 In case of a failure during descent in IMC the pilots must switch to conventional navigation if
possible. If not, a missed approach must be executed.
 In all non-normal situations, ATC must be contacted as soon as possible.
 Abnormal procedures to address Cautions and associated with RNAV RNP procedures are
described in the FCOMs.
 In the event of communications failure, the flight crew should continue with the procedure in
accordance with published lost communication procedures.
 The flight crew should notify ATC of any problem with the RNAV system that results in the loss
of the approach capability.

Terrain Clearances:
 Using RNAV in a TMA does not change the terrain clearance responsibility.
 The terrain clearance other than radar vectoring is the pilot’s responsibility.
 The “direct to” given by ATC is not a radar vectoring.
 The pilot must make sure the minimum altitude restriction and terrain clearance is maintained. If
not s/he should reject the clearance.
 If the pilots cannot fulfill the necessity of the RNAV route, they must inform ATC (including the
reason and failures) with their intention in the shortest time.
 For communications failure, the published lost com procedures shall be executed.

2.21.4 Briefing Procedures

2.21.4.1 Departure Briefing Procedure

The departure briefing should be accomplished as soon as practicable so that it does not interfere with
the final departure preparations.
The Flight crew should pay particular attention to briefings ensuring that the aircraft has been
appropriately set up in accordance with the briefing, that the crew are mentally prepared and aware of
the prevailing conditions.
The Pilot Flying shall ensure the following before commencing the briefing:
 the navigation radios and MCP are set,
 the waypoints, navaids etc. with altitude constraints and speed restrictions in the CDU (TAKE-
OFF REF page, LEGS page and DEPARTURES page) for the departure route are the same as
those published on the SID charts.

1. Captain will include a REJECTED TAKE-OFF BRIEFING (RTO).


The Captain has sole responsibility for the decision to reject the take-off. If the decision is made to
reject the take-off, the captain must clearly announce “REJECT” then immediately start the rejected
take-off manoeuvres and assume control of the airplane. The RTO Briefing should include the basis
for making a decision and taking action prior to 80 knots and above 80 knots until V1.

Example of an RTO briefing:


Prior to 80 knots, if any non-normal situation observed or,
Above 80 knots until V1 only if;
 Fire/fire warning,
 Engine failure,
 Predictive Windshear and,
 If the airplane is unsafe or unable to fly, I will abort the take-off.

2. Captain will complete the ENGINE OUT BRIEFING and SPECIAL VISUAL FIRE CIRCUIT
BRIEFING (if applicable).

Check Engine out Performance Climb Gradient and compare with the Minimum Climb Gradient on
SID.
Check if necessary to follow TURN Procedure.
If it is not necessary do not brief the TURN Procedure.
Example engine out briefing:
After V1 until reaching 400 feet AGL, no crew action required, except with positive rate, gear will be
selected up and cancelling fire warning.
At or above 1,000 feet AGL we will clean the airplane up while climbing to……. Feet.
Once the airplane is in clean configuration, we will declare an emergency and request “Heading to…
/to maintain …… feet/or hold over at …...VOR/NDB” (according to the engine out procedure).
After having the relevant checklists completed, we will request to return back to the departure
aerodrome to land or we will request to divert to the take-off alternate aerodrome (specified in the OFP)

2.21.6 Automatic and Manual Flight Procedures

Autoflight systems can enhance operational capability, improve safety, and reduce workload.
Automatic approach and landing, Category III operations, and fuel-efficient flight profiles are
examples of some of the enhanced operational capabilities provided by autoflight systems. Maximum
and minimum speed protection are among the features that can improve safety while LNAV, VNAV,
and instrument approaches using VNAV are some of the reduced workload features. Varied levels of
automation are available. The pilot decides what level of automation to use to achieve these goals by
selecting the level that provides the best increase in safety and reduced workload.

Note: When the autopilot is in use, the PF makes AFDS mode selections. The PM may select new
altitudes, but must ensure the PF is aware of any changes. Both pilots must monitor AFDS mode
annunciations and the current FMC flight plan.

Automatic systems give excellent results in the vast majority of situations.

Deviations from the expected performance of a system are normally due to an incomplete
understanding of their operation by the flight crew. When the automatic systems do not perform as
expected, the pilot should reduce the level of automation until proper control of path and performance
is achieved. For example, if the pilot failed to select the exit holding feature when cleared for the
approach, the airplane will turn outbound in the holding pattern instead of initiating the approach. At
this point, the pilot may select HDG SEL and continue the approach while using other automated
features. A second example, if the airplane levels off unexpectedly during climb or descent with VNAV
engaged, LVL CHG may be selected to continue the climb or descent until the FMC can be
programmed.

Early intervention prevents unsatisfactory airplane performance or a degraded flight path. Reducing
the level of automation as far as manual flight may be necessary to ensure proper control of the airplane
is maintained. The pilot should attempt to restore higher levels of automation only after airplane control
has been ensured. For example, if an immediate level-off in climb or descent is required, it may not be
possible to comply quickly enough using the AFDS. The PF should disengage the autopilot and level
off the airplane manually at the desired altitude. After level off, set the desired altitude in the MCP,
select an appropriate pitch mode and re-engage the autopilot.

For detailed information on Automatic Flight mode operations, refer to FCOM Supplemantary
Procedures.

Crew members must coordinate their actions so that the aircraft is operated safely and efficiently.
Autopilot engagement should only be attempted when the aircraft is in trim, F/D commands (if the F/D
is on) are essentially satisfied and the aircraft flight path is under control. The autopilot is not certified
or designed to correct a significant out of trim condition or to recover the aircraft from an abnormal
flight condition and/or unusual attitude.

 The autopilot should be used within its system limitations (Refer to Chapter 1).
 Minimum height for autopilot engagement is 1,000 feet AGL (B737-800) / 400 feet AGL (B737-
8 (MAX)) as company limitation.
 For a circling approach, autopilot use is recommended until intercepting the landing profile.
 For a single channel approach, disengage the autopilot and disconnect the autothrottle no later than
the minimum use height for single autopilot operation.
 For a dual channel approach, if an autoland was accomplished, disengage the autopilot after
touchdown. Control the aeroplane manually.

For autopilot engagement and disengagement criteria, refer to FCOM Automatic Flight.

Autothrottle Use:
 Autothrottle use is recommended during take-off and climb in either automatic or manual flight.
During all other phases of flight, autothrottle use is recommended only when the autopilot is
engaged in CMD.
 During engine out operations, Boeing recommends that the autothrottle is disconnected and that
the throttle of the inoperative engine be kept in the CLOSE position. This will help the crew to
recognise which is the inoperative engine and will reduce the number of unanticipated thrust
changes.
Note: The autothrottle logic on some aircraft allows the autothrottle to be physically engaged
during engine out operations.
 Disengage the autothrottle before descending below MDA(H) or DA(H).
 Disengagement of the autothrottle is not recommended during all phases of flight unless a
procedure dictates otherwise.
 Disengagement of the autothrottle is an automatic feature during an autoland. (For details, refer to
FCOM).

Manual Flight:
The PM should make AFDS mode selections at the request of the PF.
The PF should call “AUTOPILOT A/B ENGAGED COMMAND” when the autopilot is engaged. The
PF should inform the PM when s/he disengages the autopilot(s) and/or the autothrottle by stating
“AUTOPILOT and/or AUTOTHROTTLE DISENGAGED”.

The PF will instruct the PM to make all MCP changes by calling “SET FL/ALT…”, “SET SPEED…”,
“SET HDG…” etc. The PM should inform the PF after making MCP changes by stating “HDG…SET”,
“FL/ALT…SET”, “SPEED…SET” etc. Thereafter the PF should verify this change by stating
“CHECKED”.

Ensure the proper flight director modes are selected for the desired maneuver. If the flight director
commands are not to be followed, the flight director should be turned off.

 Conditions permitting pilots may fly the aircraft manually.


 Manual flight is allowed only below FL 100.
 Use of Autothrottle is recommended. Disengage the Autothrottle before descending below
MDA(H) or DA(H).
 If a manual flight is planned below FL 100, obtain permission from the Captain during the
Approach Briefing.
 Manual flight is not recommended in the case of:
(1) Crew fatigue
(2) High work load
(3) Marginal weather
(4) Operating in busy terminal areas/airports

2.21.7 Turbulent Air Penetration Procedure


During flight in light to moderate turbulence, the autopilot and/or autothrottle may remain engaged
unless the performance of the aircraft is unsatisfactory.

Increased thrust lever activity can be expected when encountering wind, temperature changes and large
pressure changes. Periodic and short term airspeed excursions of 10 to 15 knots and vertical speed
changes less than 500 ft per minute can be expected.

Passenger signs ...................................................................................................................................ON


Advise the passengers to fasten their seat belts prior to entering areas of reported or anticipated
turbulence. Instruct the flight attendants to check that all passenger seat belts have been fastened. Do
not forget to switch OFF again when clear of the area.

Severe Turbulence:
Flight in SEVERE Turbulence should be avoided if at all possible. In short term period airspeed
excursions of more than 15 knots and vertical speed changes more than 500 ft per minute can be
expected.

Yaw Damper ......................................................................................................................................ON


Autothrottle..............................................................................................................................Disengage

airspeed.
.76 Mach/280/250 knots
If severe turbulence is encountered at altitudes below 15,000 feet and the
DESCENT
airplane gross weight is less than the maximum landing weight, the airplane
may be slowed to 250 knots in the clean configuration.

Note: If an approach must be made into an area of severe turbulence, delay flap extension as long as
possible. The airplane can withstand higher gust loads in the clean configuration.

2.21.9 Signals Between Cabin Crew and Flight Crew

The standard method for the flight crew to request the attention of the cabin crew during flight is the
use of the ATTEND button on the forward overhead panel. With one chime from the cockpit, the
nearest available cabin crew member will call the cockpit through the Service Interphone System.

If a cabin crew member wishes to get the attention of the flight crew they may call the cockpit with the
PILOT call button. If flight crew hears the PILOT call chime, the Pilot Monitoring should select SERV
INT/CABIN/SVC on the AUDIO CONTROL PANEL and speak with the cabin crew. If the flight crew
do not reply to the first chime within one minute, the cabin crew will push the chime button a second
time, if the flight crew still do not answer this chime within another minute, then the cabin crew member
will enter the code into the flight deck access system (FDAS). During this time the Pilot Flying will
take the ATC communications.

The PIC shall notify the cabin crew:


 When to prepare for take-off; via announcing "CABIN CREW TAKE-OFF POSITION";
 When the flight is in the descent phase; via switching on the "FASTEN SEAT BELT" signs;
 When to prepare for landing; via announcing "CABIN CREW LANDING POSITION" at
10,000 ft.

The cabin must be secured prior to take-off and landing. This shall be confirmed by way of a call from
SCCM to the Flight Crew stating “CABIN SECURE”.

The cabin crew shall be informed in advance about the expected taxi time or approach time to ensure
a smooth operation.

The SCCM is responsible for coordinating communication between the cabin and flight deck. He / she
shall inform the PIC after and/or during;
 cabin readiness prior to the first A/C movement (safety and security checks implemented),
 cabin readiness prior to take-off and landing,
 turbulence (cabin observations),
 medical situations and use of first aid or medical kits,
 CC injury and/or incapacitation,
 passenger injury,
 abnormal and suspicious situations,
 unruly passenger,
 fire, smoke toxic fumes in the cabin,
 failure of any emergency and safety system and equipment.

The emergency signals to be used between flight crew and cabin crew are described in the Chapter 3.1.

ATC and Pilot Relations:


a) Although the respective authorities set international standards and regulations, the quality and
operating conditions of ATC service can vary significantly from country to country.
b) Corendon Airlines Europe pilots’ shall always:
1) Communicate in English with ATC,
2) Keep to standard phraseology and rules,
3) Be calm and polite, avoid being rushed,
4) Avoid unnecessary discussions with controllers,
5) Keep a sharp look out.

Pilots should use standard procedures and should seek confirmation or clarification if they are in doubt
about the contents of an ATC clearance. Particular attention should be paid to the importance of
standard phraseology, the possibility of call sign confusion and the need to listen to read backs
carefully:
 Positively confirm instructions with ATC if any doubt exists between flight crew members.
 If in doubt about an ATC instruction, do not use read back for confirmation.
 Avoid use of the cockpit speaker especially during times of high RTF loading.
 Do not clip transmissions.
 Confirm unexpected instructions for any particular stage of flight.
 Advise ATC if it is suspected that another aircraft has misinterpreted an instruction. ATC may
be unaware of this fact.
 Exercise particular caution when members of the Flight Crew are involved in other tasks, and
may not be actively monitoring the RTF.
 At critical stages of flight actively monitor ATC instructions and compliance with them.
 Use full RTF call sign at all times.
 Use correct RTF procedures and discipline at all times.
 Guard frequency (121.5 MHz) must be monitored at all times.

Pilots are reminded of the necessity for great vigilance in the matter of cleared levels. Particular
attention should be paid to:
 SID’s – Make sure you know the maximum SID altitude/flight level before departure.
 Ensure that there is no doubt about the altitude/flight level to which you have been cleared.
 Make adequate preparation so that the cleared altitude/flight level is maintained.
 Ensure cross-monitoring takes priority over logging clearances.
 Report immediately to ATC if a cleared altitude/flight level is inadvertently exceeded.
 Report the cleared flight level on first contact with ATC, unless specifically requested not to do
so by ATC.

2.21.11.1 Controller-Pilot Data Link Communications (CPDLC)

CPDLC is a means of communication by which pilots and ATC can communicate with each other over
a datalink system. Communication is established through Datalink Messages over dedicated VHF
channels. CPDLC in Europe is to be performed via ATN VDL Mode 2 standard (ICAO Aeronautical
Telecommunication Network - VHF Data Link ). All IFR General Air Traffic flights above FL285
within the airspace defined in the regulation are subjected to the use of CPDLC. (see CPDLC available
zones below)

Basic CPDLC procedures is as below:


 When entering a new airspace
o Voice contact First.
o If ATC wants you to login to CPDLC, Log on to CPDLC and continue communication
over there.
 When pilot makes a request
o ATC should respond to any request in 2 minutes.
o If no answer, you may resend or continue over Voice
 When ATC makes a request
o Pilot also should answer any message over CPDLC in 2 minutes.
 You may shift to voice communication anytime.
 CPDLC does not mean that pilot will switch off voice communication.

2.21.12 Navigation Position, Performance and Accuracy

The flight crew shall be responsible to continuously monitor and verify aircraft’s present position and
s/he shall ensure that;
 Actual Navigation Performance (ANP) is not exceeding Required Navigation Performance
(RNP);
 the RNP is relavant for each phase of flight (specified below); and
 the navigation accuracy is checked prior to an approach and after prolonged in-flight operation.

Navigation Position:
The FMC determines present position from the IRS, GPS, and navigation radios.

The FMC uses its calculated present position to generate lateral steering commands along the active
leg to the active waypoint.

When the FMC Source Select Switch is positioned to NORMAL, the left FMC becomes primary,
however, data from both FMCs is combined to determine a composite position and velocity for
guidance and map displays.
FMC Position Update
FMC Position Update:
On the ground, the FMC calculates present position based on GPS data. If GPS data is not available,
the FMC calculates present position based on IRS data.

If GPS UPDATE is OFF, the FMC updates position to the take-off runway threshold when a TO/GA
switch is pushed. When making an intersection take-off, the intersection data must be entered on the
TAKE-OFF REF page. If GPS UPDATE is ON, the TO/GA update is inhibited. GPS UPDATE is on
the NAV OPTIONS page.

In flight, the FMC position is continually updated from the GPS, navigation radios, and IRS. Updating
priority is based on the availability of valid data from the supporting systems.

FMC position updates from navigation sensor positions are used in the following priority order:
• GPS
• two or more DME stations
• one VOR with a collocated DME
• one localizer and collocated DME
• one localizer.

The station identifiers and frequencies of the selected radio navigation aids are displayed on the NAV
STATUS page 1/2.

FMC logic selects the GPS position as the primary update to the FMC position. If all GPS data becomes
unavailable, the FMC reverts to radio or IRS updating.

The dual frequency–scanning DME radios are automatically tuned by the FMC.

The stations to be tuned are selected based upon the best available signals (in terms of geometry and
strength) for updating the FMC position, unless a specific station is required by the flight plan. Radio
position is determined by the intersection of two DME arcs.
OM PART B Page: B-156

AEROPLANE TYPE B737-800 & MAX-8 Rev Date: 01.02.2017


OPERATING MATTERS Rev No: 0.0

If the DME radios fail, or if suitable DME stations are not available, FMC navigation is based on IRS
position information only. The two VHF Nav radios are used by the FMC for localizer updating during
an ILS approach and by the crew for navigation monitoring.

Note: The FMC is designed to automatically reject unreliable navaid data during FMC position
updating. However, in certain conditions, navaids which are in error may satisfy the
reasonableness criteria and provide the FMC with an inaccurate radio position. One of the most
vulnerable times is when a radio position update occurs just after take-off. This is usually
manifested in an abrupt heading correction after engaging LNAV. The position shift can be
seen on the map which will shift the desired track and runway symbol to a position significantly
different from that displayed during ground roll.

Note: If the flight crew observes either of these indications, the FMC should be carefully monitored.

When adequate radio updating is not available, navigation display map mode may display a shift error.
This error results in the displayed position of the airplane, route, waypoints, and navigation aids shifted
from their actual positions.

An across track, undetected map shift may result in the airplane flying a ground track that is offset
from the desired track. An along track, undetected map shift may result in the flight crew initiating
altitude changes earlier or later than desired.

In either case, an undetected map shift may compromise terrain or traffic separation.

Map shift errors can be detected by comparing the position of the airplane on the navigation display
map mode with data from the ILS, VOR, DME, and ADF systems.

Navigation Performance:
The FMC uses data from the navigation systems to accurately calculate the position of the airplane.
The current FMC position is shown on line 1 of the POS REF page 2/3.

The FMC position is derived from a mathematical combination of the positions determined by the IRS,
radio, and GPS systems. It represents the FMC’s estimate of the actual position of the airplane.

Its accuracy varies according to the accuracy of the other position determining systems.

Note: If the GPS position update is excessive, GPS updating is suspended until the GPS position can
be determined to be reasonable.

Actual Navigation Performance (ANP):


ANP is the FMC’s estimate of the quality of its position determination. It is shown on POS SHIFT
page 3/3 and on RTE LEGS pages. ANP represents the estimated maximum position error with 95%
probability. That is, the FMC is 95% certain that the airplane’s actual position lies within a circle with
a radius of the ANP value around the FMC position. The lower the ANP value, the more confident the
FMC is of its position estimate.

AEROPLANE TYPE B737-800 & MAX-8 Rev Date: 01.02.2017

Required Navigation Performance (RNP):


The FMC supplies a default required navigation performance (RNP) value for oceanic, en route,
terminal, and approach environments. RNP can also be supplied by the Navigation Database or may
be entered by the crew (if the desired RNP is different than the default RNP value(s)). Actual navigation
performance (ANP) should not exceed RNP.

Environment Default RNP Time to Alert


Oceanic 12.0 NM 60 sec.
En route 2.0 NM 30 sec.
Terminal 1.0 NM 10 sec.
0.5 NM or 0.3 NM
Approach 10 sec.
(Refer to FCOM)

If ANP exceeds the displayed RNP value, the UNABLE REQD NAV PERF–RNP message will be
displayed on the CDU scratchpad after the designated time to alert has elapsed. An additional amber
UNABLE REQD NAV PERF–RNP will be displayed on the MAP. The amber FMC lights located on
the forward instrument panel will also illuminate with the annunciation of this message. RNP is shown
on the POS SHIFT, RNP PROGRESS 4/4 and the RTE LEGS pages.

If this occurs during RNP operations other than approach, the crew shall verify position, confirm
updating is enabled, and consider requesting an alternate clearance. This may mean changing to a non-
RNP procedure or route or changing to a procedure or route with a RNP higher than the displayed ANP
value.

If the alert occurs during RNP approach operation, the crew may change to a non-RNP procedure. If
unable, the crew shall execute a missed approach unless suitable visual reference is already established.
In the event of a missed approach, the crew may consider requesting an alternate non-RNP clearance.

FMC Navigation Check:


If the VERIFY POSITION message, UNABLE REQD NAV PERF – RNP message, or both GPS-L
INVALID and GPS-R INVALID messages are shown in the scratch pad, or course deviation is
suspected, do the following as necessary to ensure navigation accuracy:

Actual position .................................................................. Determine and compare with FMC position


Determine actual airplane position using raw data from VHF navigation or ADF radios.

If radio navaids are unavailable:


FMC position ......................................................................... Compare with the IRS position

Use the POS SHIFT page of the FMC CDU. If the two IRS positions are in agreement
and the FMC position is significantly different, the FMC position is probably unreliable.
The POS SHIFT page may be used to shift FMC position to one of the IRS positions.
This is accomplished by line selecting the IRS or radio position and then pressing the
EXEC Key.

Actual position ................................................ Confirm with ATC radar or visual reference points.

Navigate using most accurate information available (continue to monitor FMC position using
VOR/ADF raw data displays on non–flying pilot's navigation display).
CAUTION: Navigating in LNAV mode with an unreliable FMC position may result in significant
navigation errors.

2.21.14 Upset Prevention and Recovery Training (UPRT)

Loss of Control In-Flight (LOC-I) has been identified as one of the major threats to air safety. Upset
Prevention and Recovery Training (UPRT) has been introduced to update current training to mitigate
LOC-I.
Guidance material on UPRT can be obtained from the following documents:
 Airplane Upset Prevention and Recovery Training Aid (AUPRTA)
 ICAO Doc 10011 - Manual on Aeroplane Upset Prevention and Recovery Training,
 IATA Guidance Material and Best Practices for the Implementation of Upset Prevention and
Recovery Training,
 FAA Advisory Circular 120-111 on Upset Prevention and Recovery Training
 European Union Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) ED Decision 2019/005/R
 Boeing 737Flight Crew Operations Manual

The goal of this Upset Prevention and Recovery Training is to increase the ability of pilots to
recognize and avoid situations that can lead to airplane upsets and to improve their ability to recover
control of an airplane that diverges from a crew's desired airplane state.

Flight crew engagement combats complacency through active monitoring. Therefore, active
monitoring is the critical element to ensure awareness and avoidance of undesired airplane states and
provides the strongest countermeasure against startle. Situationally aware flight crews are those who
actively monitor their flight. As such, they are able to assess the energy, arrest any flight path
divergence and recover to a stabilized flight path before an extreme upset ever occurs. An engaged
crew is in the best position to cope with undesired airplane states.

The aim of the training is to:


 Acquire the knowledge to recognize and avoid upset situations
 Learn to take appropriate and timely measures to prevent further divergence
 Understand basic airplane aerodynamics
 Learn airplane manoeuvring techniques throughout the airplane operational flight envelope to
perform recoveries from upsets.
DEFINITION OF AIRPLANE UPSET
Historically, an upset was defined as unintentionally exceeding one or more of the following
conditions:
• Pitch attitude greater than 25 degrees nose up
• Pitch attitude greater than 10 degrees nose down
• Bank angle greater than 45 degrees
• Less than above parameters but flying at an airspeed inappropriate for the conditions.

An upset condition is now considered any time an airplane is diverting from the intended airplane state.
An airplane upset can involve pitch and/or roll angle deviations as well as inappropriate airspeeds for
the conditions.
An airplane upset is not a common occurrence. There are a variety of reasons why upsets occur,
including:
 Environmentally-induced
 Systems-induced.
 Pilot-induced

Threat and Error Management in the context of UPRT

Upset recovery techniques can be refined into either:


 Nose high
 Nose low.
The following actions represent a logical progression for recovering the airplane. The sequence of
actions is for guidance only and represents a series of options to be considered and used dependent on
the situation. Not all actions can be needed once recovery is under way. If needed, use minimal pitch
trim during initial recovery. Consider careful use of rudder to aid roll control.
NOTE: Use of rudder should be considered only if roll control is ineffective and the airplane is not
stalled.
These actions assume that the airplane is not stalled. A stalled condition can exist at any attitude and
can be recognized by continuous stick shaker accompanied by one or more of the following:
 Buffet that can be heavy at times
 Lack of pitch authority or roll control
 Inability to stop a descent.
If the airplane is stalled, first recover from the stall by applying and maintaining nose down elevator
until stall recovery is complete and stick shaker stops.

WARNING: *Excessive use of pitch trim or rudder may aggravate the upset situation, result

Either Pilot: Recognize and confirm the developing situation. Announce: "Nose High"
Explanation: A critical element in recognition and confirmation is to clearly understand the airplane
energy state and the rate at which it is changing because this will have an effect on how the recovery
is handled. This is done by referring to pitch attitude and/or flight path vector, airspeed and airspeed
trend, altitude and vertical speed from the ADI. This is because the FD system could be providing
incorrect guidance.
A/P Disengage (if required)
A/THROTTLE Disengage (if required)
Explanation: The A/P and/or A/THROTTLE must be disconnected if they are not arresting the
divergence. However, if the A/P and/or A/THROTTLE are responding correctly to arrest the
divergence, it may be appropriate to keep the current level of automation.
A large out of trim condition could be encountered when the A/P is disconnected.
PITCH: Apply as much nose-down pitch control and incremental trim input(s) as required to
obtain a nose-down pitch rate.
Explanation: This may require as much as full nose-down pitch control input. Incremental nose down
trim inputs may improve elevator control effectiveness and reduce high pitch control forces. Excessive
use of pitch down trim can make the recovery phase of the upset more difficult.
THRUST/POWER: Reduce (as required)
Explanation: For airplanes with underwing mounted engines, increasing thrust may reduce the
effectiveness of nose down pitch control. It may be necessary to limit or reduce thrust to the point
where control of the pitch is achieved.
ROLL: Adjust (as required) not to exceed 60 degrees
OM PART B Page: B-163

AEROPLANE TYPE B737-800 & MAX-8 Rev Date: 15.07.2019


OPERATING MATTERS Rev No: 3.0

Explanation: If the previous pitch and thrust inputs have been unsuccessful, banking the airplane to
allow the nose to drop toward the horizon will be necessary.
The bank angle applied should be the least possible to start the nose down and never exceed
approximately 60 degrees. If the bank angle is already greater than 60 degrees, it should be reduced to
an amount less than 60 degrees. The least difficult piloting task is with wings level or near level. Use
of bank increases the piloting workload in an already high workload condition of flight. Although the
rolling manoeuvre changes the pitch rate into a turning manoeuvre, sideslip build up is a large risk at
low airspeeds and high AOA. If full pitch and roll control are ineffective, rudder input may be required
to induce a bank angle for recovery.
Only a small amount of rudder input is needed. Too much rudder applied too quickly or held too long
may result in loss of lateral and directional control and cause structural damage.
Complete the recovery:
Explanation: When approaching the horizon, roll to wings level while avoiding a stall due to
premature recovery at low speed or excessive g-loading at high speed.
This may require use of pitch trim to manage control forces during large airspeed changes.

A/P Disengage (if required)


A/THROTTLE Disengage (if required)
Explanation: The A/P and/or A/THROTTLE must be disconnected if they are not arresting the

divergence, it may be appropriate to keep the current level of automation.
A large out of trim condition could be encountered when the A/P is disconnected.

Recover from Stall (if required)


Explanation: Even in a nose low situation, the airplane may be stalled and it would be necessary to
recover from a stall first.

Roll, in the shortest direction to wings level.


Explanation: In general, a nose low, high-angle-of-bank requires prompt action, because decreasing
altitude is rapidly being exchanged for increasing airspeed. The consequence of the increasing airspeed
is rapid g-load build up from the original 1-g trimmed condition.
It is important to reduce g-loading while attempting to roll to wings level because it increases the roll
effectiveness while decreasing the asymmetric loads on the airplane.
Decreasing the g-load will be achieved by applying forward pitch control toward 1-g. This is counter-
intuitive while in a dive condition, even though it is of critical importance. If roll control is
ineffective after unloading, rudder input may be required to reduce bank angle for recovery.
Only a small amount of rudder input is needed. Too much rudder applied too quickly or held too long
may result in loss of lateral and directional control and cause structural damage.

Complete the recovery:


Explanation: Apply nose up elevator to recover to level flight while avoiding a stall due to premature
recovery at low speed or excessive g-loading at high speed.
This may require use of pitch trim to manage control forces during large airspeed changes.
Confirm desired airspeed and adjust thrust and/or speed brakes to establish the required flight path.

3 NON-NORMAL AND EMERGENCY PROCEDURES

3.1 INTRODUCTION

Refer to the Boeing FCTM Chapter 8 for Non-normal Operations and situation guidelines.

Refer to the Boeing QRH for Non-normal checklist instructions.

3.1.1 Non-Normal Situation Management

The flight crew member who first recognises a Non-Normal situation must warn the other flight crew.
Warnings must be always taken seriously and crew should avoid personal conflict. Always remember,
the situation is more important than personal thoughts.

In a Non-Normal situation, the Commander may give the controls to the First Officer until the
necessary actions (QRH, Abnormal procedure, communication, planning…) have been completed ,
and must take the controls back after the required action has been completed.

The PF will continue to fly the aircraft until the Commander says otherwise. In a Normal or an
Emergency situation no matter what, the priority order is that one of the flight crew must fly the aircraft.
In order to reduce workload, the PF will communicate with ATC unit whilst the PM is carrying out
Non-Normal Checklist procedures. Automation will always be used when the emergency situation
allows. The only exceptions are when a Stall warning, GPWS PULL UP warning, Pull-up,
windshear warning are given or when a Rejected take off is made. Except in those situations, there
is always enough time to put the aircraft on the right flight path and in the correct configuration.

Following upon an illumination of a warning light, (master caution-recall), the sounding of an aural
warning horn or any message on showing on the scratch pad, the system will not be reset without the
confirmation of both flight crew members. However, the reset action must be made timely, in order
not to distract the attention of the PF.

When requested by the Commander or the PF, Memory (until dashed line) items shall be initiated
without reference to the checklist. Actions such as, recognition of a failure, or the shutting down of an
engine must take place under the positive control of both flight crew members. Once the Memory items
have been completed, the related checklist must be read again and managed by the Flight Crew.

Configuration and switch positions must be operated by the PM and confirmed by the PF.

The descent-approach sections of the emergency checklists must be followed and completed before the
IAF.

W (Weather), R (Radio setting), R (Review) C (Checklist), items must be completed before starting
any approach.

In an Emergency or an Abnormal situation, the Deferred items in the Landing Checklist shall be
requested by the PF at a suitable point and must be read and answered by the PM.

OPERATING MATTERS Rev No: 0.0

In the event of a loss of cabin pressure, the use of fire extinguisher, smoke or fumes, or a leak of
poisonous or harmful gas in the cockpit, the oxygen masks and smoke goggles should be put on and
crew communication must be established immediately. Initially, the oxygen regulator must be set to
100% but the regulator may be switched to NORMAL once the situation is under control.

During flight, a circuit breaker may be reset at the commander’s discretion after the elapse of the circuit
breaker cooling period (approximately 2 minutes). The circuit breaker should be left in the out position
if the circuit breaker pops out again. The circuit breakers of the fuel system shall not be reset by the
flight crew. On the ground, circuit breakers shall only be reset with confirmation from the technical
crew.

Any Emergency or distress situation shall be declared as soon as possible, in order to reduce the
response times of the ground search and rescue teams, or fire crews who will deal with the emergency.

In an Emergency situation, the transponder code allocated by ATC will be retained unless otherwise
advised by ATC. However, if the flight crew has communication problems, the crew must set code
7700 on the transponder.

The orders given to the PM must be in a logical sequence. If the PM is asked to listen to the ATIS,
execute the referring Checklist, to set the radio frequencies etc. all at the same time, is likely to cause
confusion and distract the PM, which could lead the PM to make incorrect or poor decisions.

In certain situations the flight crew must land the aircraft at the nearest suitable airport. These situations
include, but are not limited to:
 the non–normal checklist includes the item “Plan to land at the nearest suitable airport”
 fire or smoke continues
 only one AC power source remains (engine or APU generator)
 only one hydraulic system remains (the standby system is considered a hydraulic system)
 any other situation determined by the flight crew to have a significantly adverse effect on the safety
of continued flight.

OPERATING MATTERS Rev No: 0.0

If a Non-normal situation occurs, the following steps must be executed:


 Keep the aircraft under control;
While the Pilot Monitoring (PM) is carrying out the Non-Normal checklist items, the Pilot Flying
(PF) must fly the aircraft. In addition, in order to reduce the workload of the flight crew, the
maximum appropriate use of automation, is recommended. (do not exceed any QRH limitation)
 Identify the Non-normal situation;
The situation must be analysed properly before taking action. The flight crew member who
identifies the fault must make the call out clearly and correctly.
 Create time for yourself as directed below:
o Delay taking action when time is available (Such as taking off and making a final approach);
and/or
o By holding, or requesting radar vectors.
 Analyse the situation:
The Non-Normal Checklist should be executed only once the failure or fault has been positively
identified.
o Be sure to evaluate and revise all appropriate options.
o In making a decision, take into consideration all limitations and restrictions - such as, current
weather, the efficiency of the crew, distance to the airport and any other factor which might
affect the flight.
o When identifying the failure or the fault, make full use of all available resources including
the flight crew, cabin crew, ATC and company maintenance crew if possible.
o Before making a decision, evaluate all possible options and make a back-up plan.
o Make sure that all actions are taken in the correct sequence in order to maintain the safety of
the flight until the aircraft landed and made a full stop.

 Use sound judgement to identify the appropriate thing to do in accordance with the situation
and then take the correct action.

Events Requiring a Maintenance Inspection:


CHAPTER 5 of the Airplane Maintenance Manual refers to such events as “CONDITIONAL
INSPECTIONS”.

These include, but are not limited to;


a) Hard Landing
b) Severe turbulence
c) Overspeed (landing gear, flaps/slat or MMO/VMO)
d) High energy stop
e) Lightning strike
f) Extreme dust
g) Tail strike
h) Overweight landing

3.1.2 Work Load Management


a) In order to reduce workload and make the most effective use of the crew resources, work should
be shared out in accordance with the procedure identified for the related abnormal/emergency
situation.
b) Any orders given must be clear and understood and fully complied with before further orders are
given.
c) The PF must allow sufficient time for the identification of a problem and its being brought under
positive control. If available, in order to reduce the workload of the PF, the AP and A/T must be
used.
d) In order to avoid confusion, reports made to the PF must be clear, brief, understandable, and
effective. These will allow an abnormal situation to be corrected in an efficient, effective and rapid
way.
e) Create a problem sharing model with the rest of the crew.
f) In order to understand and evaluate the options maintain communication with the flight crew and
the cabin crew.
g) The problem sharing model positively involves the crew in dealing with a well identified problem
and is likely to produce beneficial results.
h) Follow recommended and other accepted procedures.
i) Before taking action, be sure to that the problem has been correctly identified and is properly
understood, be aware of the reasons for the existence of the problem and the likely consequences
of any action to be taken. Remember to review the actions taken, and the results, in order to
determine whether further correction or action is necessary.
j) Try to avoid taking an irreversible action unless necessary (Be sure to obtain confirmation and a
cross check before taking any such action).
k) Evaluate the landing requirements.
l) If the Non Normal Checklist directs the crew to land at the nearest suitable airport, or if the
situation is clearly defined in the QRH (Introduction of the Checklist and Non Normal Checklist)
the crew must divert to the nearest suitable airport. If the Non Normal Checklist (or any related
checklist) does not instruct the crew to divert to the nearest suitable airport, the Commander will
evaluate the situation, taking into account the flight safety regulations, in deciding whether or not
to continue to the destination airport.

3.1.3 Non-Normal Checklist Procedures


a) The non-normal checklists chapter contains the checklists used by the flight crew to manage non–
normal situations. The checklists are grouped in sections which match the system description
chapters in FCOM Volume 2.
b) Most checklists correspond to a light, alert or other indication. In most cases, the MASTER
CAUTION and system annunciator lights also illuminate to indicate the non-normal condition.
These lights, alerts and other indications are the cues to select and follow the associated checklist.
c) Checklist without a Master Caution and System Annunciator light (such as DITCHING) are
referred to as unannunciated checklists. All Unannunciated checklists are found in the first section
of the Non-Normal Checklists chapter. Some Unannunciated checklists also appear in the relevant
system section (such as ENGINE FUEL LEAK in the Fuel section).
d) A condition statement is provided in all non-normal checklists. The condition statement briefly
describes the condition which caused the Master Caution to illuminate. Unannunciated checklists
also have condition statements to help in understanding the reason for the checklist.
e) Checklists can have both recall and reference items. Recall items are critical actions that must be
performed from memory. Reference items are actions to be performed while reading the checklist.
f) In the Table of Contents for each Non-Normal checklist section, the titles of those checklists
containing memory items are printed in bold type.
g) Some amplified information is included in brackets [ ] in the printed non-normal checklist when
the reason for the inclusion of an item may not be obvious.

NON-NORMAL CHECKLIST OPERATION:


a) Non-normal checklists start with steps to correct the situation or condition.
b) Information for planning the rest of the flight is included.
c) When special items are needed to configure the aircraft for landing, the items are deferred to the
Approach and Landing Checklist.
d) Flight patterns for some non-normal situations are located in the Manoeuvres chapter and show
the sequence of configuration changes.
e) While every attempt is made to provide needed Non-Normal checklists, it is not possible to
develop checklists for all conceivable situations, especially those involving multiple failures.
f) In certain unrelated multiple failure situations, the flight crew may have to combine elements of
more than one checklist or exercise judgment to determine the safest course of action.
g) The captain must assess the situation and use sound judgment to determine the safest course of
action.
h) Checklists prescribing an engine shutdown must be evaluated by the captain to determine whether
an actual shutdown or operation at reduced thrust is the safest course of action.
i) Consideration must be given to probable effects if the engine is operated at the minimum needed
thrust.
j) There is no abnormal checklist associated with the loss of an engine indication or with an automatic
display of the secondary engine indications. Operate the engine normally unless a limit is
exceeded.

NON-NORMAL CHECKLIST PROCEDURES ASSUME;


a) During engine start and prior to take-off, that the relevant non-normal checklist is done if an
abnormal condition is identified. Upon completion of the checklist determine whether Minimum
Equipment List relief is available.
b) System controls are in the normal configuration for the phase of flight before the start of the Non-
Normal checklist.
c) Aural alerts are silenced and the system reset by the flight crew as soon as the cause of the alert
has been recognised.
d) The EMERGENCY position of the oxygen regulator is used when required to supply positive
pressure to the masks and goggles in order to evacuate contaminants.
e) The 100% position of the oxygen regulator is used when positive pressure is not required, but the
air in the flight deck is contaminated.
f) The NORMAL position of the oxygen regulator is used for prolonged use and the situation allows.
g) Normal boom MIC Operation is restored when the use of oxygen is no longer required. The
indicator lights should be tested to verify suspected faults.
h) The reset of a tripped circuit breaker in flight by the flight deck crew is not recommended unless
a non-normal checklist specifically directs it. However, a tripped circuit breaker may be reset once,
after a short cooling period (approximately 2 minutes), if in the judgment of the captain, the
situation resulting from the circuit breaker trip has a significant adverse effect on safety.
i) The reset of a tripped circuit breaker on the ground by the flight crew should only be accomplished
after maintenance has determined that it is safe to do so.
j) Flight crew cycling (pulling and resetting) of a circuit breaker to clear a non-normal condition is
not recommended unless directed by a non-normal checklist.

After engine start and prior to take-off, illumination of the Master Caution annunciator lights
or red and Amber caution lights require completion of the appropriate non-normal checklist.
a) In certain cases, the amber system monitor lights illuminate during the master caution light recall
to inform the flight crew of the failure of one element in a redundant system.
b) If system operation is maintained by a second element, the amber system monitor light will be
extinguished when the master Caution light is reset. In these situations, the amber caution light
alerts the flight crew to the fact that normal system operation will be affected if another element
failure occurs.
c) If an amber caution light illuminates during recall, but extinguishes on master caution reset;
Completion of the non-normal checklist is not required.

When a non-normal condition is identified, the crew completes the appropriate non-normal
checklist.
OM PART B Page: B-171

There are some situations, where the crew must always LAND AT THE NEAREST SUITABLE
AIRPORT. These situations include, but are not limited to situations where;

a) The Non-Normal checklist has the words "Plan to land at the nearest suitable airport"
b) CABIN SMOKES OR FIRE persists. It should be stressed that for persistent smoke or a fire that
cannot be positively confirmed to be completely extinguished, the earliest possible descent,
landing, and passenger evacuation should be accomplished.
c) One MAIN AC POWER source remaining (such as engine or APU generator)
d) One HYDRAULIC System remaining (the standby System is considered a hydraulic System)
e) Any other Situation determined by the crew to present a SIGNIFICANTLY ADVERSE EFFECT
ON SAFETY if the flight is continued.

NON-NORMAL CHECKLIST USE:


 Non-Normal checklist use starts only when the flight path and configuration of the aircraft have
been correctly established. Only a few situations require an immediate response such as:
o Stall warning,
o Ground proximity PULL UP,
o WINDSHEAR warnings and,
o Rejected take-off.
 Usually, time is available to assess the situation before corrective action has to be initiated.
 All actions must then be carried out under the supervision of the Captain in a deliberate and
systematic manner. Flight path control should never be compromised.
 When a non-normal situation occurs, at the direction of the pilot flying, both crewmembers
systematically and without delay should complete all recall items in their areas of responsibility.
 The pilot flying (PF) calls for the checklist when:
o The flight path is under control
o The aircraft is not at a critical stage of flight (such as take-off or landing)
o All recall items have been completed.
 The pilot monitoring reads aloud:
o the checklist title
o as much of the condition statement as is required to confirm that the correct checklist has
been selected
o as much of the objective statement (if applicable) as required to enable the crew to
understand the expected result of following the steps detailed in the checklist.

 The pilot flying does not need to repeat this information but must acknowledge that the information
was heard and understood.
 For checklists with memory items, the pilot monitoring first verifies that each memory item has
been completed. The checklist is normally read aloud during this verification. The pilot flying does
not need to respond except for any item that is not in agreement with the checklist. The item
numbers do not need to be read.
OM PART B Page: B-172

AEROPLANE TYPE B737-800 & MAX-8 Rev Date: 01.02.2017


OPERATING MATTERS Rev No: 0.0

 Non-memory items are called reference items. The pilot monitoring reads aloud the reference
items, including:
o the precaution (if any)
o the response or action
o any amplifying information.
 The pilot flying does not need to repeat this information but must acknowledge that the information
was heard and understood. The item numbers do not need to be read.
 The word “Confirm” is added to checklist items when both crewmembers must verbally agree
before action is taken. During an inflight non-normal situation, verbal confirmation is required for:
o an engine thrust lever
o an engine start lever
o an engine, APU or cargo fire switch
o a generator drive disconnect switch
o an IRS mode selector, when only one IRS is failed
o a flight control switch
This does not apply to the Loss of Thrust on Both Engines checklist.

 With the aircraft is stationary on the ground:


o The Captain and the First Officer take action based on preflight and postflight areas of
responsibility
o during an evacuation, the first officer sets the flap lever to 40.
 With the aircraft in flight or in motion on the ground:
o the pilot flying and the pilot monitoring take action based on each crewmember’s Areas of
Responsibility.
 After moving the controls, the crewmember taking the action also states the checklist response.
 The pilot flying may also direct reference checklists to be done by memory if no hazard is created
by such action, or if the situation does not allow reference to the checklist.
 Checklists include an Inoperative Items table only when the condition of those items needs to be
known when planning the rest of the flight. The inoperative items, including the consequences (if
any), are read aloud by the pilot monitoring. The pilot flying does not need to repeat this
information but must acknowledge that the information was heard and understood.
 After completion of the non–normal checklist, normal procedures are used to configure the aircraft
for each phase of flight.
 When there are no deferred items, the DESCENT, APPROACH and LANDING normal checklists
are used to verify that the configuration is correct for each phase of flight.
 When there are deferred items, the non-normal checklist will include the item “Checklist Complete
Except Deferred Items.” The pilot flying is to be made aware when there are deferred items. These
items are included in the Deferred Items section of the checklist and may be delayed until the usual
point during descent, approach or landing.
 The deferred items are read aloud by the pilot monitoring. The pilot flying or the pilot monitoring
takes action based on each crewmember’s area of responsibility. After moving the control, the
crewmember taking the action also states the response.
OM PART B Page: B-173

 When there are deferred items, the Deferred Items section of the non-normal checklist will include
the Descent, Approach and Landing normal checklists. These checklists should be used instead of
the usual DESCENT, APPROACH and LANDING normal checklists. If a normal checklist item
is changed as a result of the non-normal situation, the changed response is printed in bold type.
The pilot flying or the pilot monitoring responds to the deferred normal checklist items based on
each crewmember’s area of responsibility. However, during the deferred Landing normal
checklist, the pilot flying responds to all deferred normal checklist items.
 Each checklist has a checklist complete symbol at the end. The following symbol indicates that
the checklist is complete:

The checklist complete symbol can also be in the body of the checklist. This only occurs when a
checklist divides into two or more paths. Each path can have a checklist complete symbol at the
end. The flight crew does not need to continue reading the checklist after the checklist complete
symbol.
 After completion of each non–normal checklist, the pilot monitoring states “___ CHECKLIST
COMPLETE.”
 Additional information at the end of the checklist is not required to be read.
 The flight crew must be aware that checklists cannot be created for all conceivable situations and
are not intended to replace good judgment. In some situations, at the captains’ discretion, deviation
from a checklist may be needed.

For autobrake RTO operation, refer to FCOM.

The decision to stop must be made prior to V1.


‘V1 MEANS GO’
In practice, this means that the V1 call must have been completed by the time the aircraft actually
reaches V1. Otherwise, the call will be completed above V1, which could lead to the decision being
taken to perform a RTO at a speed above V1.
The STOP/GO decision regime is divided into two areas:
LOW SPEED REGIME – Prior to 80 knots, the take-off should be rejected for any of the following:
 activation of the master caution system
 system failure(s)
 unusual noise or vibration
 tire failure
 abnormally slow acceleration 11 items
 take-off configuration warning
 fire or fire warning
 engine failure
 predictive windshear (as installed)
 if a side window opens
 if the airplane is unsafe or unable to fly.
HIGH SPEED REGIME – Above 80 knots and prior to V1, the take-off should be rejected for any
of the following:
 fire or fire warning
 engine failure 5 items
 obvious pilot incapacitation
 predictive windshear (as installed)
 if the airplane is unsafe or unable to fly.
Consider the following when the aeroplane is stopped:
 The possibility of wheel fuse plugs melting
 The need to clear the runway
 Requirement for remote parking
 Wind direction in case of fire
 Alerting Fire Equipment
 Not setting the parking brake unless passenger evacuation is necessary
 Advising the ground crew of the hot brake hazard
 Advising passengers of the need to remain seated or evacuate
 Completion of Non-normal checklist (if appropriate) for conditions which caused the RTO.

3.3 PILOT INCAPACITATION

Also refer to OM Part A for guidance in how to deal with pilot incapacitation.

Pilot incapacitation occurs frequently in comparison to other routinely trained non-normal situations.
It has occurred to persons in all age groups and during all phases of flight. Incapacitation takes many
forms ranging from sudden death to subtle or partial loss of mental or physical performance. Subtle
incapacitation is the most dangerous as it may be difficult to detect. Subtle incapacitation occurs
frequently. Incapacitation effects can range from a loss of function to unconsciousness or death.

Routine adherence to the standard operating procedures and profiles can assist in the detection of a
problem.

The key to the early recognition of pilot incapacitation is the regular use of the Crew Resource
Management (CRM) concept during flight operation. Proper crew interaction involves checks and
crosschecks using verbal communication.

Should a crew member not respond to any verbal call, or significantly deviate from Standard Operation
Procedures (SOP), incapacitation should be suspected.

INCAPACITATION can be assumed in the event that a crew member fails to respond to a Second
Verbal call.

The other pilot shall take over the controls.

a) Incapacitation During Take-off Roll


1) If the PF does not respond to “80 KNOTS” callout, the PM shall call again at “100 KNOTS”.
2) If no response is made to the second call,the PM shall conclude that the PF is incapacitated.
3) The PM shall announce “I HAVE THE CONTROLS” and call “REJECT”. Please be sure that
actual speed is less than the V1 at the time of REJECT.

b) Incapacitation in flight
1) Determine whether a pilot is incapacitated upon recognition of the symptoms described in OM
Part A.
2) Take over control of the aeroplane by announcing “I HAVE CONTROLS”.
3) Engage the autopilot (on your side) (if within limits).
4) Declare a MEDICAL EMERGENCY.
Corendon Airlines Europe ….
MAYDAYx 3 MEDICAL EMERGENCY.
Planning to land into ……….
Request medical assistance (doctor/ambulance) after the landing

5) Call “Cabin Chief to Cockpit” on PA and let her/him to take care of the incapacicated pilot.
If possible, have the incapacitated flight crew member removed from his seat to prevent
obstruction of the flight controls, switches, levers etc. Consider removing the incapacitated flight
crew member to a cabin crew seat or passenger seat - whichever is appropriate.
6) Ask the Cabin Chief to make an announcement for a doctor or a medical person in the cabin.
7) A Cabin Crew member shall position in the flightdeck in order to monitor the well-being of the
other crew member.

8) Arrange a landing as soon as is practicable after considering all pertinent factors.


9) Never change your seat in the cockpit.
10) Prepare for landing (cockpit / cabin) without delay, but do not press for a rushed approach:
 Check the weather at the airport where it is intended to land.
 Request radar vectoring as applicable.
 Select ROUTE page and change the destination.
 Select DEP/ARR page select landing runway and execute.
 Select LEGS page.
 Find the first way point after discontinuity and select it.
 Set the first page of LEGS and then execute.
 Select INIT APP REF page.
 Check ILS frequency and Set NAV radios on both sides.
 INBOUND course and set INBOUND courses.
 Set the RADIO/BARO minimums as needed for the approach.
 Calculate the landing weight and landing performance, have the required landing distance
calculated.
 Ensure that the landing distance available is greater than the landing distance required.
 Set the AUTO BRAKE select switch to MAX.
 Set the required flap setting for landing and enter VREF on the APPROACH REF page.
 Check VREF for landing flap and set VREF.
 Do not rush and arrange your descent.
 Perform the descent, approach and landing checklists earlier than normal.
(if it is considered likely to be helpful, request assistance from other crew members or “capable”
persons)
 Configure the airplane for landing as early as possible.
 Request that medical assistance be ready at the position where it is planned to stop and if
possible clear the runway via the high-speed taxiway,but do not taxi to the gate.
 AIR STAIRS not available on Corendon Airlines Europe airplanes. Request stairs for medical
personnel.
 Once stopped after the landing, shut down the engines and complete the checklists.

Note: In such cases, The Flight Operations Department must be informed of the full facts and
circumstances immediately .

3.4 FIRE AND SMOKE DRILLS

It is very important for Flight Crew are to keep in mind that if FIRE, SMOKE or FUMES are
uncontrollable and / or the source cannot be determined and visually confirmed to be
extinguished, the airplane should be on the ground within 18mins in order to maintain structural
integrity. This might necessitate an emergency descend or even during extended overwater
operations ditching the aircraft.

Please refer to the relevant QRH Non-Normal Checklists and Chapter 3.2 Non-Normal Maneouvres.

3.5 UNPRESSURISED AND PARTIALLY PRESSURISED FLIGHT

Also refer to the relevant Boeing 737 QRH Non-Normal Checklists.

In the event that a flight is to be operated either with partial pressurization or unpressurised, the
following information is given as guidance for the Commander.

3.5.1 Unpressurised Flights


Permission to carry passengers on unpressurised flights must be obtained from the Flight Operations
Manager or Chief Pilot. Aircraft altitude must not exceed 10,000 ft. Commanders should be aware of
the problems of operating unpressurised aircraft and should pay special attention to rates of climb and
descent. ATC should be informed that the aircraft is unpressurised and may need special procedures
such as speed reductions, limited changes of altitude and holding procedures in order to limit the cabin
rate of change. A very careful check of en-route safety altitudes is necessary, and due consideration
given to reduced climb and descent gradients.

General:
1) Civil Aviation Ferry Flight permission will be obtained by the Technical Department.
2) The technical department will release the aircraft, after placing a suitable note in the Aircraft
Logbook.
3) OCC will draw up the flight plan in combination with Euro Control. Such flights may only be
planned to be operated during daylight hours. OCC will place all relevant information on the flight
plan and will provide details of the available destination/alternate stations. The flight will be planned
at 280KIAS for climb, cruise and descent.
4) Cabin Differential Pressure will be programmed as 0 (zero).
5) At FL100 the Cabin ALT HORN CUTOUT SWITCH will be reset.
6) If possible, the flight will not be planned above FL140. If it is necessary due to terrain, the Technical
Department will take action before the flight to prevent the passenger oxygen masks dropping above
FL140 cabin pressure. Notwithstanding the technical action taken, at FL140 PASS OXY light will
illuminate even though the masks wil not drop. This light will illuminate until engine shutdown. If
flight above FL100 is necessary, one pilot will use a mask at any time the cabin altitude is above
FL100 and both pilots will remain in the cockpit at all times the cabin altitude is above 10,000 ft.
While above FL140, both pilots will use their oxygen masks.
7) APU usage will be the same as company procedure but the APU bleed will not be used for
pressurization.
8) Before the flight, ensure that the oxygen masks have been cleaned and confirmed to be operational.

BEFORE TAXI:

Right Pack Switch OFF
Isolation Valve CLOSE
APU Bleed Air Switch OFF
Cabin Rate Selector INDEX
Cabin Alt Indicator Destination Minus 200’
Pressurization Mode Selector MANUAL
Outflow Valve %25 OPEN
Flight/Ground Switch GRD

CLIMB AND DESCENT:


1) When climbing and descending, keep the gradient low. Plan ahead for this and descend early using
V/S mode. Inform ATC if necessary.
2) Take care with the cabin altitude, as it will climb/descend together with the aircrafts’ altitude.

CRUISE:
1) Fly at or below FL100.
2) If flight below FL100 is not possible due MEA, it will be necessary to use oxygen masks as
prescribed above.
3) If deviation from the flight plan becomes necessary due to weather or other factors, maintain
awareness of high terrain by reference to GRID MORA from the Jeppesen charts.

NOTE: Although setting the Cabin Altitude Indicator and Cabin Rate Selector is redundant in Manual
Mode, it is done simply as a reference. Standby pressurisation mode should not be used, even
if available.

3.5.2 Partially Pressurised Flight


If, for technical reasons, full cabin pressurisation is not available, Commanders should ensure that the
normal limits of cabin altitude are not exceeded. Under no circumstances should cabin altitude exceed
10,000 ft when passengers are on board. Care should be exercised in operating the aircraft so that
normal cabin rates of climb and descent are not exceeded.

ATC should be warned that special procedures such as reduced rates of climb/descent, reduced speed,
holdings, etc, may be necessary in order to avoid excessive discomfort to passengers. Special points to
note would be route weather and safety altitudes, reduced climb and descent gradients.

3.6 OVERWEIGHT LANDING

Overweight landings may be safely made by using normal landing procedures and techniques. There
are no adverse handling characteristics associated with overweight landings.

Landing distance is normally less than take-off distance for flaps 30 or 40 landings at all gross weights.
However, wet or slippery runway field length requirements should be checked in the landing distance
charts in the PI chapter of the QRH. Brake energy limits will not be exceeded for flaps 30 or 40 landings
at all gross weights.

Note: The use of flaps 30, rather than flaps 40, is recommended to provide an increased margin to flap
placard speed.

If stopping distance is a concern, reduce the landing weight as much as possible. At the discretion of
the Captain, the landing weight may be reduced by holding at low altitude in a high drag configuration
(gear down) to achieve maximum fuel burn-off.

Analysis has determined that, when landing at high gross weights at speeds associated with non-normal
procedures requiring flaps set at 15 or less, maximum effort stops may exceed the brake energy limits.
The gross weights at which this may occur are well above maximum landing weights. In such cases
maximise the use of the available runway for stopping.

Observe flap placard speeds during flap extension and on final approach. In the holding and approach
patterns, manoeuvres should be flown at the normal manoeuvre speeds. During flap extension, airspeed
can be reduced by as much as 20 knots below normal manoeuvre speeds before extending to the next
flap position. These lower speeds result in larger margins to the flap placards, while still providing
normal bank angle manoeuvring capability, but do not allow for a 15° overshoot margin in all cases.

Use the longest available runway, and consider wind and slope effects. When possible avoid landing
in tailwinds, on runways with a negative slope, or which have a lower than normal braking condition.
Do not carry excess airspeed on final. This is especially important when landing during an engine
inoperative or other non-normal condition. At weights above the maximum landing weight, the final
approach maximum wind additive may be limited by the flap placards and load relief system.

Fly a normal profile. Ensure that a higher than normal rate of descent does not develop. Do not hold
the airplane off waiting for a smooth landing. Fly the aircraft onto the runway at the normal touchdown
point. If a long landing is likely to occur, go-around. After touchdown, immediately apply maximum
reverse thrust using all of the available runway for stopping to minimise brake temperatures. Do not
attempt to make an early runway turnoff.

Autobrake stopping distance guidance is contained in the Performance Inflight section of the QRH. If
adequate stopping distance is available based upon approach speed, runway conditions, and runway
length, the recommended autobrake setting should be used.

Overweight Autoland Policy:


Overweight autolands are not recommended. The autopilots on Boeing aircraft are not certified for
automatic landings above maximum landing weight. At higher than normal speeds and weights, the
performance of these systems may not be satisfactory and has not been thoroughly tested. An automatic
approach may be attempted, however the pilot should disengage the autopilot prior to flare height and
accomplish a manual landing.

In an emergency, should the Captain determine that an overweight autoland is the safest course of
action, the approach and landing should be closely monitored and the following factors considered:
 touchdown may be beyond the normal touchdown zone; allow for additional landing distance
 touchdown at higher than normal sink rates may result in exceeding structural limits
 plan for a go-around or manual landing if autoland performance is unsatisfactory; automatic go-
arounds can be initiated until just prior to touchdown, and can be continued even if the airplane
touches down after initiation of the go-around.

3.8 THUNDERSTORMS AND LIGHTNING STRIKES


3.8.1 Thunderstorm Warnings
Meteorological Offices issue warnings, in the form of SIGMET messages, of "active thunderstorm
areas" when thunderstorms are, or are expected to be, sufficiently widespread to make their avoidance
by the aircraft difficult, e.g., a line of thunderstorms associated with a front or squall line or extensive
high level thunderstorms. In addition, Commanders are required to send a special air report (AIREP
SPECIAL) when conditions are encountered which are likely to affect the safety of aircraft. Such a
report, of itself, would be basis of a SIGMET warning.
Meteorological Offices do not issue SIGMET messages in relation to isolated thunderstorm activity
(unless prompted by an AIREP SPECIAL) and the absence of SIGMET warnings does not therefore
necessarily indicate the absence of thunderstorms.

3.8.2 Procedure and Flying Techniques


If it is found that it is not possible either by visual means, or by the use of radar, to avoid flying through
or near to a thunderstorm, the following procedures and techniques, evolved from research and
operational experience, are recommended:

a) Approaching the thunderstorm area:


1. Ensure that the seat belts and harnesses of each crewmember have been firmly fastened and that
any loose articles have been secured. Switch on the seat belt signs and make sure that all passengers
are securely strapped in and that loose equipment (e.g., cabin trolleys and galley containers) is
firmly secured. Pilots (particularly of long bodied aircraft) should remember that the effect of
turbulence is normally worse in the rear of the aircraft than on the flight deck.
2. The Commander should fly the aircraft and the First Officer monitor the flight instruments
continuously.
3. Select a height for penetration bearing in mind the importance of ensuring adequate terrain
clearance. Investigation has shown that although in some thunderstorms there is a little turbulence
at lower levels, in others there is a great deal. Height is not necessarily a guide to the degree of
turbulence.
4. Pilots must be familiar with the Severe Weather Operating Procedures as contained in OM-A
Chapter 8 and FCOM Supplementary Procedures – ‘Adverse Weather’.
5. Set all power to give the recommended speed for flight in turbulence (see the Flight Manual),
adjust the trim and note its position so that any excessive changes due to Auto-pilot or Mach trim
can be quickly assessed.
6. Check all flight instruments and their power supply.
7. Ensure that the pitot heaters are switched on and their functionality checked.
8. Check the operation of all anti-icing equipment and operate all these systems in accordance with
the manufacturer or operator’s instructions. In the absence of specific instructions, ensure that all
anti-icing systems are on.
9. Turn off any radio equipment made useless by static.
10. Turn the cockpit lighting fully on to minimise the blinding effect of lightning flashes. If
practicable, wear dark glasses.
11. Follow the manufacturer or operator’s recommendations on the use of the autopilot.
12. Continue monitoring the weather radar in order to ascertain which is the safest path.
13. Be prepared for turbulence, rain, hail, snow, icing, lightning and static discharge.
14. Avoid flying over the top of a thunderstorm. Over-flying small convective cells close to large
storms should also be avoided, particularly if they are on the upwind side of the large storm,
because they may grow very quickly.

Increasing altitude will decrease the buffet margin and up-currents may force the aircraft into buffet.

b) Within the Storm Area:


1. One pilot should fly the aircraft regardless of all else
2. Concentrate on maintaining a constant pitch attitude appropriate to climb, cruise or descent, by
reference to the attitude indicators, carefully avoiding harsh or excessive control movements. Do
not be misled by conflicting indications on other instruments. Do not allow large attitude excursions
in the rolling plane to persist because these may result in nose down pitch changes.
3. Maintain the original heading; it is usually the quickest way out. Do not attempt any turns.
4. Do not correct for altitude gained or lost through up and down draughts unless absolutely necessary.
5. Maintain the trim settings and avoid changing the throttle settings except when necessary to restore
margins from stall warning or high-speed buffet. The target pitch attitude should not be changed
unless the mean IAS differs from the recommended penetration speed by more than 20 knots.
6. If trim variations due to the autopilot (auto-trim) are large the autopilot should be disengaged.
7. If negative “g” is experienced, temporary warnings (e.g., low oil pressure) may occur. These should
be treated with caution.
8. On no account climb in an attempt to get over the top of the storm.

c) Special Consideration When Flying in a Terminal Control Area (TMA):


1. Because of the constraints on airspeed and flight path and the increased workload of the crew when
flying in a TMA, pilots should consider making a diversion from, or delaying entry into a TMA if
a storm encounter seems probable.
2. If the Captain decides that improved flight conditions could be obtained by holding for a period of
time or by changing heading, flight level or airspeed, he should advise ATC immediately of his
intentions giving, when possible, an estimate of the duration of the hold, the amount of divergence
from track anticipated, etc. as appropriate.
3. ATC will pass weather information and give guidance on avoiding areas of significant storm activity
whenever possible and maximum use should be made of this service. However, it should be noted
that many ATC radar systems now in use, or coming into use, are specifically designed to reduce or
exclude returns from “weather” and in these cases little or nor assistance can be given by ATC.
It is recommended that any guidance given by ATC should be used in conjunction with the aircraft’s
own weather radar, in order to guard against possible inaccuracies in the ground radar’s
interpretation of the relative severity of different parts of a storm area. Any discrepancies should be
reported to ATC.

d) Take-off and Landing:


1. The take-off, initial climb, final approach and landing phases of flight present the flight deck crew
with additional threats because of the aircraft’s proximity to the ground and the maintainance of a
safe flight path in these phases can be very difficult.
2. Because of the unpredictable nature of turbulence, windshear and local pressure variations in the
lower levels of thunderstorms, and the difficulty of dealing with high terrain, the maintenance of a
safe flight path in these phases can be very difficult.
3. The best advice that can be given to pilots is to avoid taking-off and landing during thunderstorm
activity overhead the airport and that the arrival, departure and go-around paths must be clear of
thunderstorm radar returns. This will help to mitigate the risks of Runway Excursions, Loss of
Control In Flight and Unstabilised Approaches, as well as to enhance overall safety and passenger
comfort. When there is thunderstorm activity over or near the airport, take-off should be delayed or,
when approaching to land, consideration should be given to holding in an unaffected area or making
a divertion to a suitable alternate.

3.8.3 Lightning
Lightning can occur in clouds, between two clouds, or between a cloud and the ground. Investigations
have shown that most recorded lightning strikes occur at levels where the temperature is between + 10
degrees C and - 10 degrees C, i.e., within about 5,000 feet on either side of the freezing level. The risk
also exists outside this band, particularly in the higher levels.

The brilliant flash, the smell of burning and the accompanying explosive noise may be alarming and
distracting to the pilots of an aircraft struck by lightning. The report on a serious accident in which a
large transport aircraft was destroyed stated that it was due to a lightning strike which caused ignition
of vapour in the region of the fuel tank vents. However, fatal accidents due to lightning strikes have
fortunately been very few in number and most aircraft receive only superficial damage when struck.

The disconcerting effects of lightning and lightning strikes, especially in the turbulent conditions of a
storm, only add to the difficulties unless pilots are fully prepared. Cockpit lighting should be fully
turned on to minimise the blinding effect.

In multi crew aircraft it is good practice for one pilot to monitor the flight instruments continuously.

The effect of lightning strikes on both direct reading magnetic compasses and magnetically slaved
compasses is mentioned below.

3.8.4 Static Electricity


This phenomenon will generally first be noticed as noise on the radio, particularly on HF but to a very
much less extent on VHF. As the static electricity charge increases in severity, the noise will increase
and in extreme cases a visible discharge, known as St Elmos fire will be seen on some parts of the
aircraft, particularly around the edges of windscreens. Static electricity is not only associated with
thunderstorms but such conditions are particularly favourable to its creation.

An understanding of the effect of static electricity on radio equipment is important. It is detrimental to


the performance of equipment but has little or no effect upon VHF and UHF. On HF static may cause
the signal/noise ratio to be such that communications are impossible. In such conditions a navigational
aid such as Non-directional Beacons (NDBI must be used with extreme caution due to the fluctuating
or erroneous indications that occur.

3.8.5 Use of Weather Radar


Pilots should be in no doubt about the functions of airborne weather radar. It is provided to enable them
to avoid thunderstorms and not to assist them in penetrating areas or storm activity.
It should be noted that, the significance of an echo of given intensity usually increases with altitude.
This is because the liquid water content of the cloud normally decreases with altitude though the
intensity of the turbulence may remain constant. Echo intensities may also be misleading because of
the attenuation resulting from heavy rain. This may lead to serious underestimation of the severity of
the rainfall in a large storm, an incorrect assumption of where the heaviest rainfall in a large storm is,
and an incorrect assumption of where the heaviest rainfall is likely to be encountered. As a result of
attenuation, the echo from that part of an area of rain furthest from the radar will be weaker than it
should be, the actual position of the maximum rainfall at the far edge of the storm area will be further
away than indicated on the radar display, sometimes by distances up to several miles.
It should also be noted that in spite of recent research and operational experience, it still seems
impossible to use radar to detect with certainty areas where large hailstones exist, because clouds
containing rain or hail can produce identical radar pictures. Some operators have claimed success in
avoiding hail by keeping well clear of cloud echoes that have scalloped edges of pointed or hooked
fingers attached, but the best advice is to give radar echoes a wide berth, as when detouring storms
visually.
The high rate of growth of thunderstorms and the danger of flying over or near to the tops both of the
main storm and the small convective cell close to it must also be remembered when using weather
radar for storm avoidance Some guidance on the distances by which thunderstorms should be avoided
is given in the table.
Where weather information is available from ATC radar, it should be used to supplement the aircraft’s
weather radar.

3.8.6 Storm Avoidance Distances for Aircraft Equipped with Weather Radar
1. In flight over storm clouds, always maintain at least 5,000 feet vertical separation from the cloud
tops. But note the difficulty of estimating this separation
2. If the aircraft radar system is inoperative, avoid by 10 miles any storm that by visual inspection is
tall, growing rapidly, or has an anvil top.
3. Intermittently monitor long range on radar to avoid getting into situations where no alternative
remains but the penetration of hazardous areas
4. Avoid flying under a cumulonimbus overhang. If such flight cannot be avoided, tilt antenna full up
occasionally to determine the possibility that hail exists in or is falling from the overhang.
5. In light of incidents in the industry, one option of command should be reemphasised. If you are in
a terminal area with thunderstorms present and you are unable to obtain a clearance in sufficient
time to make a detour around a severe thunderstorm, which in your judgment threatens the safe
completion of the flight, it is appropriate to declare an emergency and advise ATC that you are
turning to a heading which will take you clear of the storm.

It is most important that this decision to make a detour on an emergency basis be made early enough
to provide adequate time to safely avoid the storm The very fact of having to declare an emergency
points up the seriousness of this action and highlights the need for early planning to avoid having to
make this decision.

4. PERFORMANCE

4.1 GENERAL

The Flight Operations Engineer (FOE) is responsible for preparing performance data for the use of the
crew. The sources of performance data are the AFM, FCOM, QRH, Flight Planning and the
Performance Manuals released by Aircraft Manufacturer. The Flight Operations Engineer uses
additional tools such as Boeing Performance Software (BPS) and OPT (Boeing OnBoard Performance
Tool) to prepare performance analysis for use by the flight deck crew.

Performance data provided by aircraft manufacturer meets the requirements of EASA OPS Subpart C
CAT.POL.A.

As part of the Corendon Airlines Europe EFB system, the OPT application enables the flight crew to
perform take-off and landing analysis on board in real time conditions. For Cruise performance
calculations, the FCOM and QRH performance dispatch and performance enroute sections provide the
required data. These sections also cover performance calculations for use in the case of emergency.

Should a strange result be produced by the OPT, the crew should consult the FCOM/QRH documents
or make contact with OCC to receive manual performance calculations.

Note: Performance Class A aeroplanes are multi-engined aeroplanes powered by turbo-propeller


engines with an MOPSC of more than nine or a maximum take-off mass exceeding 5,700 kg,
and all multi-engined turbo-jet powered aeroplanes. The Boeing 737-800s and 737-8 (MAX)s
are Performance Class A aeroplanes.

4.2 TAKE-OFF PERFORMANCE DATA

Take-off calculations are made by the crew by use of the OPT programme installed in PED’s carried
on board. OPT makes the calculation using Policy definition, Airport database and DDG databases.
The crew should ensure that the PEDs have been uploaded with the latest version of OPT, Policy,
Airport and DDG databases during the flight briefing. Where the PED has not been updated, they
should evaluate the situation and act in accordance with the contingency procedures stated in the EFB
Manual.

Airport Database:
The airport database consists of Airport lists which includes runway length information, obstacle
information and turn procedures. The primary source data of the airport information is the state AIPs
and the navdata provider’s airport data sheets. It is updated at monthly intervals. If there is a NOTAM
change in the airport, OCC advices FOE to make any necessary revision. Airport data has to be
converted onto a special format to be capable of being run in OPT. It is sent via email to the crew for
transfer to the OPT to update the database.

Evaluation of Obstacle Data:


The net take-off flight path is determined in such a way that the aeroplane clears all obstacles by a
vertical distance of at least 35 ft or by a horizontal distance of at least 90m plus 0.125 × D, where D is
the horizontal distance the aeroplane has travelled from the end of the take-off distance available
(TODA) or the end of the take-off distance if a turn is scheduled before the end of the TODA. For
aeroplanes with a wingspan of less than 60m, a horizontal obstacle clearance of half the aeroplane
wingspan plus 60m, plus 0.125 × D may be used.

Track changes are not allowed up to the point at which the net take-off flight path has achieved a height
equal to one half the wingspan but not less than 50 ft above the elevation of the end of the TORA.
Thereafter, up to a height of 400 ft it is assumed that the aeroplane will be banked by no more than
15°. Above 400 ft height, bank angles greater than 15°, but not more than 25° may be scheduled. For
banked turns obstacle data is modified taking into consideration the decreasing gradient. In such cases,
the flight crew is informed during the flight briefing.

Policy Database:
The interface and performance databases are set at the Policy Database. This may be changed when a
performance database is updated by the manufacurer or OPT interface requires to be amended to reflect
the experiences and feed back from crews. It is send via email to the crew for transfer to OPT to update
the database.

DDG Database:
The DDG database covers the MEL and CDL corrections for performance calculations. It may be
revised when the MEL/CDL revision is published.

Distribution of the Databases:


When a revision of any part of the OPT database is required, the FOE makes the necessary changes
through the Boeing website and creates a database in zipped format and sends to the EFBs to be
downloaded after pilot’s acceptance (refer to EFB Update Procedures in EFB Manual). If this system
fails the database is sent via email to the crew for transfer to the OPT to update the database. With the
opening of the attachement via the OPT app, the database is transferred to the OPT. The latest versions
of the databases can be checked from the note in the flight release forms.

procedure, “gradient-to-rate” Tables in Jeppesen Charts assists crew to calculate minimum vertical
speed to perform the required climb.
Unless otherwise stated on the chart, the procedure design gradient (PDG) is 3.3 percent.
For 3.3 climb gradient, minimum required vertical speeds are as below:

Ground Speed (knots) 140 150 160 180 200 250 300
Vertical Speed (feet per minute) 468 501 535 602 668 835 1003

If required climb gradient is higher than 3.3, it is mentioned on the departure chart as below:

4.2.1 Loss of Runway Length due to Alignment

The length of the runway that is declared for the calculation of take-off distance available (TODA),
accelerate-stop distance available (ASDA) and take-off run available (TORA) does not account for
line-up of the aeroplane in the direction of take-off on the runway in use. This alignment distance
depends on the aeroplane geometry and access possibility to the runway in use. Accountability is
usually required for a 90°-taxiway entry to the runway and 180°-turnaround on the runway. There are
two distances to be considered:
 the minimum distance of the main wheels from the start of the runway for determining TODA
and TORA, and
 the minimum distance of the most forward wheel(s) from the start of the runway for determining
ASDA.

OPT considers all requirements for lineup distances.

For each aircraft, the following Line-up Allowance in the OPT (default value of Boeing B737-800 /
B737-MAX) are used:

Landing Dispach and Landing Enroute.

REFER TO EFB MANUAL FOR DESCRIPTION OF ‘BOEING ON-BOARD


PERFORMANCE TOOL’ for ‘LDG DISPATCH’ and ‘LDG ENROUTE’
MODULES

4.4.1 Landing Dispatch


This is in accordance with the Performance Dispatch section of the FCOM. The flight crew should
ensure that the planned landing weight does not exceed the allowed landing weight.

To dispatch an aeroplane, it shall be assumed that:


1. the aeroplane will land on the most favourable runway, in still air; and
2. the aeroplane will land on the runway most likely to be assigned, considering the probable wind
speed and direction, the ground handling characteristics of the aeroplane and other conditions such
as landing aids and terrain.

During the evaluation, consideration should be given to anticipated conditions and circumstances. The
expected wind, or ATC and noise abatement procedures, may indicate the use of a different runway.
These factors may result in a lower landing mass than that permitted under (a), in which case dispatch
should be based on this lesser mass.

To dispatch to a destination aerodrome with a single runway, where landing depends upon a specified
wind component, the aeroplane may be dispatched with two alternate aerodromes.

OPT outputs maximum landing weight based on a full stop landing from 50 ft above the threshold
which should be accomplished with a full stop within 60% of the landing distance available (LDA);
taking into account:
1. the elevation of the aerodrome;
2. not more than 50% of the headwind component or not less than 150% of the tailwind component;
3. the runway slope in the direction of landing if greater than ±2%;
4. For wet conditions, LDA is at least 115% of the required landing distance, determined for DRY
conditions;
5. For contaminated runways, the appropriate runway surface condition should be choosen.

For steep approach operations, the landing distance data is factored and based on a screen height of
less than 60 ft, but not less than 35 ft,

For short landing operations, the Flight Operations Department may take into account additional
factors, beyond these assumptions, in order to increase flight safety.

4.4.2 Landing Enroute


The second step for calculation of Landing Performance is the use of the Landing Enroute module.
This module makes calcualtions in accordance with the perfomance Enroute-Advisory Data found in
the FCOM & QRH.

Before commencing an approach to land at the destination aerodrome, the commander shall check that
a landing can be made with the actual landing weight by using the OPT Landing Enroute module. The
Commander should determine appropriate autobrake setting for the landing.

These distances are calculated on the basis of the following assumptions:


 Aircraft passes runway threshold at 50 ft;
 Air Distance to touchdown is 1,000 ft;
 Distances for all conditions (dry and non dry) are increased by 15%.
These distances reflect the actual stopping distances for that runway. The crew should make the
necessary judgment in selecting the most appropriate autobrake setting to achieve a safe landing.
The crew may use the following chart to evaluate the condition of the runway.

The Idle Thrust Delay feature reduces approach idle transition delay time from 5 seconds to 2 seconds.
This shortens the landing distance requirements.

The increased deflection of flight spoilers is from ~30 deg to ~60 deg and only occurs on the ground
when used as speed brakes. The deflection of the inboard ground spoilers is increased from ~52 deg to
~60 deg. These changes improve the stopping distance for landing and rejected take-off.

The winglet credit for take-off speeds refers to including the effect of the winglet in the calculation
of the take-off speeds. This was not done for the basic winglet certification.

The sealed leading edge slats provide higher lift at low speeds. This results in shorter take-off field
length requirements for a given weight.

The two-position tailskid is an option that when extended for landing provides aft body protection
allowing lower approach speeds.
The two-position tail skid, when operative, allows for up to a 7 knot reduction in approach speed at
Flaps 30 and a 3 knot reduction at Flaps 40, relative to airplanes with the fixed position tail skid.
The two-position tail skid provides protection for the aft fuselage structure in case over-rotation occurs.
For take-off, the protection is the same as that provided by the existing fixed position tail skid.
Because of its location on the aft body, the current fixed position tail skid does not provide protection
during landing.
The two-position tail skid extends automatically during landing to provide protection, and then retracts
during all other phases of flight with no crew action.
Forward and aft fairings provide an aerodynamic contour when the tail skid is retracted.

6. MASS AND BALANCE


6.1 GENERAL
During any phase of an operation, the loading, mass and centre of gravity (CG) of the aircraft shall
comply with the limitations specified in the load and trim sheets.
The initial mass and CG of the aircraft is determined by weighing. New aircraft that have been weighed
at the factory may be put into operation without reweighing if the mass and balance records have been
adjusted for any alterations or modifications made to the aircraft. Aircraft transferred from one EU
operator to another EU operator do not have to be weighed prior to use by the receiving operator, unless
more than 4 years have elapsed since the last weighing.
The mass and centre of gravity (CG) position of an aircraft should be revised whenever the cumulative
changes to the dry operating mass exceed ±0.5 % of the maximum landing mass or the cumulative
change in CG position exceeds 0.5 % of the mean aerodynamic chord. This may be done by weighing
the aircraft or by calculation.
Detailed data, charts and information on mass and balance and weighing are found in the relevant
Chapters of the Boeing AFM, FCOM, EFB Manual, AHM 560, Weight & Balance Manual and in this
Manual.
6.2 MASS AND BALANCE DATA
After receiving the initial mass and CG values of each aircraft in the fleet, the FOE prepares the Airport
Handling Manual (AHM560) where all aircraft mass and balance data is recorded for the use of
handling companies.
AHM560 contains all the data required to calculate the mass and balance of the aircraft, and it includes
information such as limitations, company procedures and the DOW/DOI tables.
Dry Operating Weight and Index Calculation:
The DOW is the total mass of an aeroplane readied for a specific type of operation excluding all usable
fuel and traffic load. This mass includes items such as:
i. Crew and crew baggage,
ii. Catering and removable passenger service equipment,
iii. Portable water and lavatory chemicals,
iv. Fly Away Kit (if loaded permanently).
The DOI is the calculated value of the CG for the corresponding DOW value. The CG of an empty
aeroplane is found by accurate weighing to determine the balance point. This point is then defined by
labelling it in inches aft of a fixed reference line located forward of the airplane nose. This line is called
the Reference Datum Line. Selection of the Reference Datum Line is arbitrary, but it does provide a
standard point from which movement of the CG along the longitudinal axis can be measured. Then this
CG value is formatted in order to ease the calculations and published as DOI.
Revision of the AHM560:
There may be reason to revise the AHM-560 manual:
 The addition of new aircraft to the fleet
 Weighing of aircraft
 Change in the empty weight or CG of an aircraft (if it exceeds limitations)
 Revision of the Mass and Balance Documents
 Change in payload data (standard pax/crew/pantry weight etc.)
Any modifications which result in changed values to the Mass and/or CG of an aircraft should be
recorded by the Flight Operations Engineer who will ensure that a revised version of the AHM560 is
distributed by the Ground Operation Department to the ground service providers.

6.3 MASS AND BALANCE DOCUMENTATION


Mass and balance documentation, specifying the load and its distribution must be prepared before each
flight. The mass and balance documentation enables the commander/supervisor to determine that the
load and its distribution is such that the mass and balance limits of the aircraft are not exceeded.
Instructions and data for the calculation of the mass and balance include the following:
a. calculation system (load and trim sheets)
b. information and instructions for the completion of the mass and balance documentation, whether
produced manually or by computer
c. limiting masses and centres of gravity for the types, variants or individual aircraft used by the
operator; (load and trim sheets)
d. dry operating mass and corresponding centre of gravity or index (DOW/DOI tables)
e. Actual passenger/baggage/fuel information
f. Passenger Weights used at Corendon Airlines Europe Operations can be made available by the
Ground Operations Department.
The Load and Trim Sheet is the primary basis for making load and trim calculations. Corendon Airlines
Europe have load and trim data that is specific to each aircraft. They have been approved by the
Transport Malta CAD.
The Ground Operations Department stores the latest version of the load sheets and distributes them to
the aircraft.

Refer to sample of digital version of Load and Trim Sheet later on.

Corendon Airlines Europe uses manual Loadsheets if the Handling Agent cannot provide a digitalized
Load and Trim sheet. In this case, Load and Trim calculations shall be performed by the crew through
the WEIGHT & BALANCE OPT application of the EFBs. (Refer to EFB OPT Section for a
description of this application). The results of the calculations are reproduced in the Load Report
Form, (see Sample below) and signed by the Commander of the flight.

Corendon Airlines Europe also prepares a digital version of load and trim sheet (DLTS) and distributes
it to the handling companies. They may use this system during load and trim sheet preparation. Most
of the ground service providers have their own digitalized compute system.
If third party software is used for Corendon Airlines Europe Operations by a handling agency, the
Flight Operations Engineer must monitor the reliability and efficiency of that software. A sample check
will be carried out at least every six months.

The efficiency of Digital Load Sheets prepared by third parties:


After each revision of the AHM-560, Corendon Airlines Europe prepares an updated version of the
DLTS, which, after it has been subjected to internal tests, is released to the handling agencies.

Whenever there has been an addition to the fleet or where there has been a critical change made to the
calculation system, The Flight Operations Engineer will request that those handling companies, using
software other than DLTS, provide test load sheets.

In addition, The Quality Department takes samples of documentation, such as flight envelopes and load
sheets, to carry out product audits in order to verify that the results of the digital load sheets being
produced, meet the requirements of the AHM-560 manual.

Completion of Mass and Balance Documentation:


During operations, the flight deck crew (manual format) or handling company personnel (digital
format) prepare the load and trim sheet. Both the person preparing, and the pilot accepting, shall sign
the load and trim sheet. One copy of the load sheet is returned to the ground handling company and
one copy is retained in the flight folder.

The Captain should make a final review of the load sheet before signing it.

If there is last minute change of no more than 500 KG load and/or 5 passengers after the load and trim
sheet has been prepared, the Captain should note this change in the LMC section of the load sheet and
be sure that this change does not result in a limitation being exceeded.

9. MINIMUM EQUIPMENT LIST (MEL)


Corendon Airlines Europe publishes its own type related MEL (Minimum Equipment List) which is
based on, but not less restrictive than, the MMEL (Master Minimum Equipment List).
Specific Instruction on the use of the MEL is available in the preamble section of the MEL itself. Please
refer to the MEL for information detailing a relief or restriction resulting from the unserviceability of
an aircraft part or system.
The MEL also includes the dispatch requirements for systems that require specific approval for use in
operations, e.g., RNAV, LVO RVSM and ETOPS.
MEL limitations should be applied in accordance with the related DDG references.

MFC Procedures and Application


Flight Crew may be authorized to perform and release to service Maintenance (M) items that are indicated
with ‘MFC’ (Maintenance Flight Crew Procedures) in the applicable Corendon Airlines Europe MEL.
Authorization shall be given in coordination with Technical, Quality and Flight Crew Training Managers
provided that the flight crew:
1. Has been trained in accordance with Maintenance Flight Crew Procedures Training and has been
satisfactorily assessed by Corendon Airlines Europe EASA approved Part-145 organization:
 In the scope and limitations of the maintenance authorization,
 In the set-up and use of the relevant maintenance data/documents,
 In the performance of each MFC task to be authorized. Note that this task training is performed
on-aircraft.
This training may be combined with other training, such as MEL-training and/or pre-flight check training.
2. Validity of the Flight Crew Maintenance Authorization is for two (2) years and can be extended for one
(1) year each time under the same conditions that apply for initial authorization, except that recurrent
training requirement is determined by Corendon Airlines Europe Part-145 and / or Flight Crew
Training Manager
3. Flight Crew Training Department keeps records of all related training and assessments, for each
authorized captain, until a minimum of three (3) years after the expiry of the authorization.
4. Authorized Flight Crew for MFC are listed in CA-QLT-LPA Form.

In case a release to service of an aircraft with Flight Crew MFC Authorization is required:
 Pilot in command shall contact directly with Corendon MCC;
 Corendon MCC member on duty shall define and advise step by step necessary maintenance
work that is required to be performed and share referenced Maintenance documents, if
required;
 Pilot in Command should perform required tasks and record MEL item into Aircraft Log book
and Hold Item List in accordance with. CAME requirements.

Criteria for Dispatch:


The Commander has the final authority in deciding whether an aircraft may be considered safe to carry
out a particular flight operation. S/he is entitled to require that any item be repaired, notwithstanding
the provisions of the MEL. The commander may request requirements above the minimum listed in
the MEL, whenever in his judgment such added equipment is essential to the safety of a particular
flight under the special conditions prevailing at the time. However, he shall never accept lower
requirements. When required, the MEL takes into account the effect of multiple inoperative items.
However, it is unlikely that all possible combinations of this nature have been accounted for. Therefore,
OM PART B Page: B-240

AEROPLANE TYPE B737-800 & MAX-8 Rev Date: 10.10.2020


OPERATING MATTERS Rev No: 4.3

when operating with multiple inoperative items, the inter-relationships between those items and the
effect on the aircraft operation and crew workload must be considered.
The MEL cannot take into account all multiple defects. Therefore, before an aircraft is dispatched with
multiple MEL items inoperative, it must be assured that any interface or inter-relationship between the
inoperative items will not result in a reduced level of safety and/or an undue increase in crew workload.
Where there are multiple defects in related items, it is essential that good judgment is exercised taking
account of the whole circumstances including climatic and en-route conditions.
The Commander may commence flight with an inoperative item where it is clear from the MEL
remarks column that maintenance action (M) is not required. If he chooses to proceed, and there is no
appropriate maintenance support available at the airport, he must make an entry in the Hold Item List
of the technical log detailing the defect. The Commander shall also ensure that any applicable
operational procedure (O) included in the MEL is made known to and followed by the crew members
and other relevant personnel.

10.2.3.1.2 Passenger and Cabin Attendant Oxygen


The passenger oxygen system is provided by a chemical oxygen generator system. A number of
passenger service units (PSU) are located throughout the cabin with each unit containing a single
oxygen generator which provides oxygen to four masks.
Oxygen flows from a PSU generator when any mask hanging from it is pulled. An in-line flow indicator
confirms that oxygen is flowing to each mask.
The masks automatically drop from the PSU if cabin altitude exceeds approx. 14,000 feet.
The passenger masks can be manually deployed from the flight deck. Oxygen flows for approx. 12
minutes and cannot be shut off. If the masks fail to drop from a PSU, the cover of the oxygen
compartment can be opened manually by releasing the door latch. The latch can be opened by inserting
a hair pin or a thin rod into the hole of the compartment cover.
Each cabin attendant station and the lavatories are equipped with 2 masks and a generator and operate
in the same way as the passenger oxygen system.

WARNING:
Do not attempt to re-stow the masks.
Do not use PSU oxygen system as a method of dealing with smoke in the cabin or to treat a
medical emergency.

10.2.3.4 Fire Extinguishers


Fire extinguishers are located throughout the passenger cabin and flight deck. All Corendon Airlines
Europe aeroplanes are equipped with the same type of extinguishers. Each class of fire calls for
specialised action. Using the wrong extinguisher may do more harm than good. For the safety of the
flight and your own protection, you should know these basic types, how to use them, and why.

There are three common Classes of Fire:

CLASS OF FIRES EXTINGUISHER TYPE


CLASS A - COMBUSTIBLE MATERIALS TYPE A - Water (H2O)
paper, wood, fabric, rubber, certain plastic etc., where Saturates material and prevents
quenching by water is effective. rekindling
CLASS B - FLAMMABLE LIQUIDS TYPE B - Halon/Clean Agent
Gasoline, oils, greases, solvents, paints, burning liquids, (2-BTP)
cooking fats etc., where smothering action is required.
CLASS C - LIVE ELECTRICAL TYPE C - Halon/Clean Agent
Fires started by short circuit or faulty wiring in electrical, (2-BTP)
electronic equipment or fires in motors, switches, galley
equipment etc., where a nonconducting extinguisher
agent is required.
NOTE: Whenever possible, electrical equipment should
be de-ennergized before attacking a class C fire

WARNING:
The use of the wrong extinguisher on a fire could do more harm than good.
If water is used on flammable liquids the fire will spread. Water used on a live electrical fire could
cause severe shock or death.

WARNING:
The concentrated agent, or the by- products created by the heat of the fire, are toxic when inhaled.

WARNING:
If the fire extinguisher is to be discharged in the flight deck area, all flight crew members must wear
oxygen masks and use 100% oxygen with emergency selected.

HALON ( CO₂ ) EXTINGUISHER:


Halon fire extinguishers contain a liquefied gas agent under pressure. The extinguisher pressure
indicator shows three pressure ranges:
 acceptable
 recharge
 overcharge
A safety pin or usage tab prevents accidental trigger movement. When released, the liquefied gas agent
vaporizes and extinguishes the fire.
The extinguisher is effective on all types of fire, but is used primarily on electrical, fuel, and grease
fires.

CLEAN AGENT (2-BTP) EXTINGUISHER:


Clean agent fire extinguishers contain a liquefied 2-BTP gas agent under pressure.

WARNING:
If a fire extinguisher is to be discharged in the flight deck area, all flight crew members must wear
oxygen masks and use 100% oxygen with emergency selected.

WARNING:
For electrical fires, remove the power source as soon as possible. Avoid discharged directly on
persons due to possibility of suffocating effects.

A fire extinguisher must not be discharged from a point too close to a fire as the discharge may itself
cause the fire to spread. As with any fire, keep away from the fuel source. Avoid breathing vapours,
fumes and heated smoke as much as possible.

HALON / Clean Agent (2BTP) Extinguisher:


 Cylinder is red in colour.
 Duration 7-10 seconds.
 Contains gas in a liquid state.
 Removes oxygen to extinguish a fire.

manually inflatable deck float (at the centre for added buoyancy. Each tube assembly has its own
individual inflation aspirator and buoyancy chamber
3. A flexible, double-braided polyester/Kevlar ethylene propylene rubber lined hose assembly
interconnects the reservoir and valve assembly with the aspirators. The hose assembly is equipped
with aluminium swivel end fittings.
4. The aspirators are comprised of an inlet housing section, which contains a nozzle array, and a
cylindrical diffuser/mixing tube. The inlet housing is equipped with one-way flappers in the ambient
air inlet, which act as an aid to the check valve which is attached to the inlet fitting. The expansion
of high pressure stored gas through the nozzle array creates a vacuum in the aspirators, causing the
flappers to open and ambient air to rush into the inflatable. Thus, inflation time is rapid, and reservoir
size is minimized. The aspirators are mounted on the inflatable by clamping them into a moulded
urethane rubber flange. A worm drive clamp retains the aspirator in the moulded flange. The worm
drive clamps are covered with electrical tape to prevent the clamps from chafing the inflatable.
5. Manual inflate/deflate valves are located in both the upper and lower tubes and both deck floats.
A manual inflation pump and adapter are stored in the survival kit. The inflate/deflate valves are
spring loaded poppet types which are automatically opened or closed by the attachment or removal
of the valve adapter on the pump. To increase the air pressure in a tube, push the pump adapter into
the inflate/deflate valve and squeeze the pump until the desired pressure has been obtained.
6. A heaving ring and line assembly is provided as a rescue aid which may be hand thrown to persons
in the water who are unable to reach the life raft. The heaving line incorporates a length of nylon
cord. One end of the line is tied off to a webbing loop on the high strength patch cemented on the
life raft.
7. The sea anchor, stowed in a fabric pouch, which attaches to the life line on the side of the life raft,
is connected by a steel cable to a high strength patch cemented to the inflatable. The sea anchor is a
cone shaped cloth bag with a cord bridle attached to the cable and is used to control the drift rate
and orientation of the life raft with respect to the wind.

8. A mooring line attached to the inflation lanyard on the life raft prevents the life raft from drifting
away from survivors. The other end of the mooring line is attached inside the aircraft fuselage by a
snap hook.
9. A floating knife is provided to cut the mooring line. It is located in a pocket on the life raft tube.
10. Flotation handles located on the perimeter of the tube serve as life lines for survivors to grasp from
the water. The flotation handles are constructed of 2.54 cm wide white webbing attached to the
inflatable at intervals by means of fabric patch.
11. Boarding handles and boarding ladder (Fig 1) are located at each end of the inflatable. They are
constructed of 2.54 and 5.08 cm wide webbing and enable survivors to climb aboard the life raft
from the water.
12. Two locator lights provide aid in locating the life raft at night. The lights are operated by water
activated batteries stored in pockets, one on the top side of the life raft and the other on the underside
of the life raft.
13. A survival kit is installed inside the carrying case with the folded life raft assembly. Survival kits
include among other items, first aid equipment, a repair kit, signalling devices, and a hand pump.
14. A lightweight canopy packed in the survival kit container provides protection against environmental
conditions. Metal canopy masts are provided to support the canopy. To install, snap canopy masts
in holders around the inside perimeter of the life raft, spread the canopy over the canopy masts and
snap into place.
15. The carrying case has a pressure gauge viewing window to permit monitoring of the gas charge
pressure of the reservoir and valve assembly and a pocket for stowing the mooring line.

Operation of Liferaft
NOTE: Due to weight and size of the packed unit, it will require removal by 2 persons and ABP’s should
be utilised.
1. To deploy the liferaft, first remove the liferaft pack from its stowage. The carrying case is provided
with handles at each end to assist with the relocation of the liferaft to the exit.
2. The inflation handle is located under the inflation handle pocket, which is located at the front end
of the carrying case. Unsnap the handle pocket and uncoil mooring line which is attached to the
inflation lanyard. Attach the snap hook, which is attached to the mooring line, to the inside of the
aircraft fuselage. Then, with one hand holding the inflation handle, drop the liferaft into the water.
NOTE: Liferaft is reversible.
3. With the liferaft prepared for launch, including the survival kit, allow unit to drift a few feet away
from aircraft, and with the mooring line taut, jerk the handle to initiate inflation. Inflation of the life
raft in the water may occur on either side of the inflatable since both sides are identical. The lanyard
opens the life raft carrying case and activates the reservoir discharge valve allowing compressed gas
to flow through high pressure flexible hoses to aspirators on each flotation tube. Liferaft will inflate
in approximately 15 seconds.
4. Passengers may begin boarding the life raft immediately after full round out (full shape) of the
buoyancy tubes. If the liferaft is close to the aircraft passengers may step into the liferaft and then
drop to their knees, if it is not possible passengers should be instructed to swim to the liferaft and
board, utilising ABP’s to assist.
5. Use the heaving line to rescue survivors unable to get themselves to the liferaft.
6. Instructions for boarding and accessory locations for canopy installation are stencilled on the
buoyancy tubes and floor.
7. Crew members should be distributed evenly between the liferafts. Once crew members are inside
the liferafts they should resume control of the situation.

8. If the liferaft is still attached to the aircraft once all survivors are on board, the knife should be used
to cut the mooring line at the closest point to the aircraft. Line will automatically break if the aircraft
begins to sink. Crew must pay attention to movement of the aircraft as it can create dangerous
currents.

Survival Kit
The liferaft pack contains a survival kit which includes the following items:

1. Water Package – Drinking water and additional purification tablets.


2. Eye dressing kit – For eye injuries
3. First Aid Kit – With basic care items, crew should also have removed FAK from aircraft during
Evacuation
4. Canopy Rods – To erect canopy for liferaft, used to protect from the elements
5. Signal Mirror, Whistle, Sponge and Knife – Mirror can be seen for miles using sunlight
reflection, whistle to attract attention of survivors still in water or to other liferafts, sponge to
keep interior of raft dry. Knife to cut mooring line and for other uses (always use with caution).
6. Survival Manual –survival techniques in water and signalling instructions.
7. Day/Night Flare – Use only when you see or hear a rescue ship or plane. Follow instructions on
the flare. Do not waste. Be careful of damage to the liferaft, ignite over the water.
8. Sea Sickness Tablets – For any survivors suffering motion sickness.
9. Repair Kit -Patches to repair any damage to liferaft.
10. Water Activated Flashlight – Additional to the Flashlights removed from the aircraft, should be
used last.

10.3 OXYGEN AND DECOMPRESSION


Oxygen Supply:
Oxygen is normally supplied to passengers and crew in flight, by pressurising the cabin to an
approximate altitude of 8,000 feet. The air inside the cabin and flight deck is therefore at a pressure
nearly equal to the normal pressure in which humans live, regardless of the lower pressure of the
outside air which contains approximately one fifth of the oxygen at sea level.
In the case of a decompression, oxygen for crew and passengers is supplied by the oxygen system
inside the PSU and portable oxygen bottles. When cabin altitude reaches 14,000 feet the oxygen masks
deploy automatically.

Portable Oxygen Dispensing Units (Bottle and Mask):


MAINTENANCE (M)
1) Until it can be removed from the airplane at the next available maintenance base, stow out of
service units in a location where they will not be used by mistake and remove or obscure locator
placards for the inoperative units.
2) Ensure that the required distribution of serviceable units is maintained throughout the airplane.

OPERATIONS (O)

The total pressure and the required number of Serviceable Portable Oxygen Bottles must be calculated
as shown in the table below:

Total Pressure of
Actual Number of Serviceable Portable
Serviceable Portable
Passengers Oxygen Bottles* Number
Oxygen Bottles
0-49 520 psi 1
50-99 1,040 psi 1
100-149 1,560 psi 2
150-199 2,000 psi 2

*Serviceable Portable Oxygen Bottle means Portable Oxygen Bottle pressure is more than 150 psi
(>150 psi) and each bottle has two serviceable dispensing unit and has two masks.

Oxygen Requirements:
See all details in OM Part A Chapter 8.8.
Oxygen Requirements may be calculated in accordance with the following charts in an emergency.

Time of Useful Consciousness at Various Altitides:


Time of Useful Consciousness (TUC)

Symptoms of Depressurisation:
Engineering techniques used in the construction of aeroplanes such as wedge doors, multiple wedge
windows and fuselage skin rip stoppers make it unlikely that an involuntary loss of pressurisation will
occur.
The effects of depressurisation depend upon several factors:
 Total cabin volume
 Size of hole in the pressure hull
 Pressure differential
 The flight altitude
Depressurisation may result from:
 a system failure,
 bird strike and
 structural damage.
Decompression may be SLOW or RAPID (explosive)
In the cabin, the most important indication of a decompression will be the dropping down of the fixed
oxygen masks.

Slow Decompression:
Slow decompression can happen due to leaks at doors, emergency windows, valves etc.
The Characteristics are loud “hissing” or “whistling” noise heard from the area in question.
A noticeable decrease of cabin pressure follows and can be felt in the eardrums.
CA duties: inform cockpit crew and reseat passengers if necessary.
OM PART B Page: B-289

AEROPLANE TYPE B737-800 & MAX-8 Rev Date: 01.02.2017


OPERATING MATTERS Rev No: 0.0

Rapid Decompression:
The time required for the cabin and external pressures to equalise during a decompression depends
primarily on the extent of the breach or leak in the pressure hull. If the breach is large enough to allow
a rapid loss of pressure, this will result in certain physical phenomena.
An initial explosive noise is heard and within seconds,
 The PSU-panels open and oxygen masks become visible,
 A rapid movement of cabin air towards the breach occurs,
 A noticeable sudden decrease in cabin air temperature causes fog in the cabin.
Physiological changes:
 Rapid chest expansion.
 Cheek and lip flutter and pain in the ears and sinuses.
 Noticeable feeling of abdominal fullness.
 Possible difficulty in speach.

The passenger masks of the fixed O₂ system are automatically released when cabin altitude exceeds
14,000 feet. (see CCM Chapter 3.5 – Oxygen and Decompression)
Chemical oxygen generators also produce heat when activated. This can cause fire.
Also, the chemical reaction taking place inside the generators causes a fowl smell to spread throughout
the cabin.

What to do when masks drop:


 Fasten up at your designated station and put on O₂. mask.
 If you are in the cabin grasp the nearest free O₂ mask and, if possible, sit down and fasten seat-belt.
 Shout call-out to passengers:
 “Press mask on nose and mouth!”
 If possible make a Decompression announcement(see.Cabin Crew Announcemet Book)

It is possible to make a PA announcement while the mask is donned.

Remain seated with seat-belt fastened until the captain announces “ Emergency Descent Completed,
Masks Off”, meaning that the aircraft has descended to a level making it safe to breathe normally
(10,000 feet). It may take further time for the aircraft to level off completely due to weather conditions,
air traffic or geographical reasons.

After the captains command, cabin crew members are to unfasten their seats, take the nearest O₂ bottle
and administer O₂ to passengers who need it.

11. EMERGENCY EVACUATION PROCEDURES

Evacuation can be either expected or unexpected, on both land and water. Always expect several
impacts and be sure to wait until the aircraft has come to a complete stop before opening your harness.
The main rule is that all passengers shall be evacuated before the crew leaves the aeroplane. However,
if the lives of crew members are endangered they shall leave the aircraft. When an emergency
evacuation is performed in an isolated area, each CA shall take along with them safety equipment
located at the respective station (megaphone, ELT, F.A.K., MED and flash light).

Evacuations might be performed in the following situations:


1) Without any preparation (for example during boarding).
2) Without specific, but after routine preparation (after passenger briefing).
3) After specific preparation (problems developed in flight, which require an evacuation.)

11.1 EMERGENCY PREPARATION


The Captain will announce a prepared emergency situation with 3X "CABIN CHIEF TO
COCKPIT"command or with 3 chimes. The Senior Cabin Crew Member (SCCM) will immediately
proceed to the flight deck for a TITS briefing with the Captain.
T - Type (of emergency)
I - Intension
T - Time (to prepare)
S - Special instructions

While the SCCM and Captain perform the TITS briefing, all other cabin crew members (CC) will start
securing the galleys and lavatories.

further commands are issued, for example, “EVACUATE” or “CANCEL ALERT”, after the aircraft
comes to a stop. Such conditions should not lead to hasty actions by cabin crew. During this alert phase,
if the aircraft has stopped, CC’s shall unfasten seat belts, check door slide mode, check outside
conditions through window, revise emergency door operation and take the most suitable position for
evacuation at assigned station. The situation inside and outside the cabin shall be observed very

system transmits a coded radio signal when interrogated by ATC ground radar. An altitude reporting
capability is provided.
Transmissions are automatically enabled when the air/ground system indicates air mode.
TCAS is also controlled from the transponder panel.

Transponders may also transmit information, such as flight number, airspeed or groundspeed, magnetic
heading, altitude, GPS position, etc., depending on the level of enhancement. At some airports, airport
equipment monitors airplane position on the ground when the transponder is active (mode selector not
in STANDBY or OFF). TCAS modes should not be used on the ground for ground tracking. If installed,
the Automatic Dependent Surveillance-Broadcast (ADS-B) data is downlinked to ATC and may be
used for airplane tracking. The left GPS provides data to Transponder 1 containing ADS-B position
information and the right GPS provides ADS-B position data to Transponder 2.
