PREFACE

In line with the DCA recommendations , the company has reviewed and has began implementing appropriate measures that would reduce the risk of incidents and accidents in our Flight Operations. One of the first measures undertaken by the Training Department was to review and rewrite the SOP which gives us clear, comprehensive view reflective of the company’s operating as well as its training philosophies. The SOPs will supplement the Operation Manual. Company Flight Procedures will be laid down in them; The DCA for the operation of L-410 UVP-E, approves these procedures and the knowledge of their contents is mandatory. It is general policy to standardize procedures and call-outs. The intention of this SOP is to standardise and concur upon a safe and efficient operation, uniformly built to describe the crewmembers area of responsibility so as to achieve the highest standards of flying discipline .It has been designed to enhance safety, to assist crew to manage risk as well as to ensure consistency in the cockpit. In short it is written as a reference for crew to establish working environment required for CRM. Each Flight Crew member must be aware of the duties and responsibilities of others as well as their own. Deviations from the SOP occur for a variety of reasons, intentional deviations and in advert deviations from SOP have been identified as casual factors in many Approach and Landing Accidents (ALAs) It is therefore NOT acceptable for pilots to deviate from SOP intentionally without any valid reason. However, if the situation warrants for such a deviation (e.g. ATC requirements, abnormal conditions etc.), the intended deviation must be pre-fixed with the word “ Non- Standard” before executing the deviation. All other crew members must be informed of such an intended deviation and Pilot In-Command must have complete control over the non-standard procedure at all times. In consequence, personal methods or practices should not be introduced. Adherence to SOP is mandatory. On top of that CRM will never be effective without adherence to SOP. The manuals which had been taken as reference to provide the basis for the writing of the company’s Standard Operating Procedures are as follows:

a. The L-410 UVP-E Airplane Flight Manual which includes operational limitations, aircraft performance in flight, normal procedures and provides information and recommendations on manoeuvres, techniques of flying.

b. The Quick Reference Handbook, edition 4 June 2008, which contains abnormal and emergency check list and performance given in tabulated form.

c. The L-410 UVP-E Aircraft Training Manual The above mentioned manuals will be used as a comprehensive reference manual for Icar Air’s daily flying operations .However , where the Icar Air procedures differs from those stated in manual above mentioned , the company SOP shell supersede. General information, which is not limited to a specific phase of flight such as Crew Duties, Flight Deck Management and Systems operation, will be found in their respective subsections. The responsibilities and duties of an operating crew are detailed in this Subsection Normal procedures relate to a specific phase of flight are found in the subsections relating to that Phase. Normal procedures are listed to follow the normal sequence of events. These include tables that are provided to give a quick reference summary. The Dispatch Deviation Procedures Guide (DDPG)/MEL) document is intended to allow the safe dispatch of aircraft for flight with various deviations to normal configuration permitted and approved by BH DCA.The objective of MEL is to improve aircraft utilisation by minimising delays to aircraft schedules and thereby contribute to a more efficient and economic air transportation without compromising airworthiness requirements and air safety. The aircraft captain will determine if defect is acceptable for further flight. This decision is to be made with due consideration to the aircraft’s operating pattern and crew workload. All crew shall highlight any error, omission or any shortcoming in this SOP and shall direct all quires to the Training Manager and Chief Pilot L-410 UVP-E who is given authority to maintain this document. Any change or amendment to any procedure shall only take effect after being approved by the FOM.

1.0 INTRODUCTION

1.1 This Chapter describes the aircraft normal operating procedures. Procedures published in this manual form the Icar Air L-410 Standard Operating Procedures (L-410SOP). It provides the basic of crew/cockpit resource management for a safe and efficient flight when operating Icar Air L-410 aircraft.

1.2. DUTIES PF/PNF

The term "Pilot Flying" (PF) is used to define the pilot operating the flight controls. The term "Pilot Not Flying" (PNF) is used to define the pilot not operating the flight controls. PF Duties

The PF will: a. performs the duties of the Pilot Flying in accordance with L-410 UVP-E and “Icar Air” Standard

Operating Procedures. b. as may be delegated by the PIC, PNF Duties

The PNF will: a. read the appropriate checklist when required and ensures compliance, b. keeps fuel calculations and logging, administrative duties. c. record Volmet weather and ATIS relevant to the routing, alternates and destination, and to

inform PF. NOTE: The Commander may if required delegate/interchange duties detailed in this chapter.

1.3. FLIGHT DECK CONFIGURATION

General

-The following Crew Configurations are possible on “Icar Air” operations: a. PIC in left hand seat with Co-Pilot in right hand seat. b. Two PICs flying together and either PIC flying from the left hand seat with the other carrying out

Co-Pilot duties from the right hand seat. c. Flight requiring enlarged crew. d. Co-Pilot in left hand seat acting as PIC under supervision with Instructor in right hand seat

performing Co-Pilot duties. e. Instructor occupying the flight deck jump seat while checking the PIC and/or Co-Pilot on route.

-During takeoff, climb, descent, approach, landing, and flight in turbulence, there must be two pilots at the controls with seats secured in the optimum position and seat harnesses worn. -During any critical phase of flight both pilots must be capable and mentally prepared to take over fully control of the aircraft.

Take-off and landing

-Take-off and landing can be made from either position, except when two PIC flying together when Take off can be done from LHS only.

Captain LH seat and First Officer RH seat When PF is the PIC in the left hand seat, the PIC will carry out the PF duties and Co-Pilot will carry out the PNF duties from the right hand seat.

Two Captains flying together

PIC must have a Right Hand Seat qualification prior to occupying the Right Hand Seat. This qualification is renewed annually according to recently training. When two PICs fly together, the Commander will be designated according to the following list:

1. Flight Operation Manager 2. Fleet Chief Pilot / Chief Pilot Training 3. Instructors according to seniority 4.PIC according to seniority.

When two PICs fly together for a series of flights, the Commander is always designated before the aircraft leaves base in accordance with the above list.

Extended flight crew

For flights requiring enlarged crew the Commander will be designated as above and will before departure brief the crew as to the allocation of duties and/or sectors

Pilots under training/supervision

When a PIC is being checked or supervised in his duties, or a First Officer is being trained or supervised as a PIC, the Commander (Instructor) will occupy the right-hand seat and carry out the duties of the Co-Pilot. If a First Officer is PF from the left hand seat as PIC under supervision, he will carry out the duties of PIC. The Commander in the right hand seat will carry out the Co-Pilot duties.

Crew line check

If an Instructor or Check Pilot is occupying the Flight Deck jump seat for the purpose of carrying out Route Checks of either or both pilots, then he will assign PF and PNF duties to either pilot. When a PIC and Co-Pilot are being checked together in their normal operating categories, the Instructor will occupy the jump seat. During this time the designated PIC shall be the Commander and will be responsible for all decisions taken during the flight. During this time, the Instructor acts as an advisor and he may offer advice of a technical or operational nature. However, if the situation warrants the Instructor may at any time take overall responsibility and assume Command. Commander will sign Aircraft documents.

Supernumerary flight crew

Supernumerary crewmember will occupy the jump seat. For take off and landing and flight in turbulence, a full seat harness will be worn by the supernumerary crewmember

2.0 AIRCRAFT NORMAL CHECKLIST

2.1The Icar Air L-410 Normal Checklist will be used in conjunction with the amplified check list. This checklist shall be used to operate company’s L-410 aircraft through all phases of a normal flight.

2.2 The appropriate normal procedures are performed first by recall (memory) and followed by reference to the checklist to verify that all items have been accomplished. The check or test procedures for each item are in accordance with the amplified checklist.

2.3 Any light that does not illuminate during a system test will be checked by press-to-test.

2.4 Crew members designated to challenge and respond to the checklist are responsible to ensure each checklist item is correctly set and loudly responded to before proceeding to the next item.

2.5 Silent checklist, such as the After Take-off and After Landing checklists, will not be challenged and responded. When such checklist is called for, the PNF will verify each checklist item silently and announce “XXXchecklist completed”. If any item is not appropriate with reference to checklist, the PNF will challenge PF and ensure it is set correctly in accordance with the normal checklist.

2.6” No Smoking “sign will be switched on at all times.

2.7 Interrupting and Resuming Normal Checklist

. The deliberate holding of checklist at any item is not encouraged. Hence, timely initiation and completion of reading the normal checklist s is the most effective method of preventing any omission of actions or preventing any inappropriate actions. Should however, the flow of the normal checklist is interrupted for any reason (ATC, distractions in the cockpit, system malfunction, etc), the crew reading checklist should call”Holding checklist at….(item)”.

Once ready to continue with the checklist, the crew should say “Resuming checklist at…(item)” . When resuming the normal checklist after an interruption, the last completed item should be repeated. If the interruption is more then 1 minute or whenever is doubt, then the whole checklist is to be repeated from the start.

3.0 CHECKLIST PROCEDURES

3.1 Cues are provided to indicate each phase of the checklists. These cues are non-verbal indicators used to communicate among crewmembers that the appropriate checklist sequence should be followed. The cues will reduce unnecessary cockpit chatter and also serve as indicators, should the checklist be inadvertently bypassed or forgotten. 3.2 Silent checklist will be responded in lower tone by PNF and should be heard by PF. 3.3 Checklist challenge, response and cues are summarised bellow:

4.0 FLIGHT INSTUMENTS READ-OUT

4.1 Flight instruments read-out is part of the Pre-start Checklist scan flow. Prior to commencement of “Prestart checklist”, the LHS pilot will check-in crewmembers and initiate the instrument readout according to the items as listed in the table below. 4.2 The LHS pilot will read out the appropriate flight instrument indications to ensure that they are functional and properly set for flight. The RHS pilot will follow through the readout and only highlight any discrepancy or out-of-tolerance comparison. 4.3 Instruments shown below are arranged in a scan flow pattern and shall be read out in a standard and orderly manner so that the FO (RHS pilot) can easily predict the flow pattern:

5.0 CREW BRIEFING

5.1 Appropriate crew briefing will be given in conjunction with the various critical phases of flight to ensure mutual understanding and effective cooperation among flight crewmembers and air traffic control.

5.2 Care should be taken to conduct a through briefing regardless of how familiar the destination airport and the approach may be; or how often the crewmembers have flown together.

5.3 An interactive briefing style-e.g. confirming the agreement and understanding of the other crewmember after each phase of the briefing –will provide a more effective briefing than an uninterrupted recitation by the final query,” Any questions?”

a. An interactive briefing fulfils two important purposes: (1) To provide the PF and the PNF with an opportunity to correct each other (2) To share a common image of the procedure.

B.The briefing should be structured (i.e. follow the logical sequence of events) and concise.

C.Routine and formal repetition of the same information on each flight may be counterproductive; adapting and expanding the briefing by highlighting the special aspects of departure /approach or the actual weather conditions will result in more effective briefing.

d. Anything that may affect normal operations (e.g. system failures or weather conditions) should be carefully evaluated and discussed.

e. For approach briefings, the primary elements of Go-Around procedures and task sharing under normal or abnormal conditions should be discussed

5.4. It shall include the relevant silent points as listed below in the crew briefing format . For subsequent sectors, “take-off emergency brief below V1” will be mentioned as “standard” without repeating the same brief.

7.0 DATA CARD

7.1 Data Cards are part of the Operational Flight plan and should be completed by FO prior to instrument read out for take-off, and by PNF, before PF briefing, for descent approach.

7.2 All completed data cards must be returned to the Flight Operations Control. Captain is responsible to ensure accuracy of the data entered in data cards.

8.0 AUTOMATIC FLIGHT

8.1The optimum and proper use of automated flight system reduces workload and increases the time and resources available for the flight crew for responding to any unanticipated change or abnormal/emergency situation.

8.2 During normal line operations , the autopilot system should ideally be engaged thought the flight , as soon as practicable after take-off (recommended after aircraft clean up or 1500 ft AGL whichever is later) up to the point of approach(not bellow 200ft AGL) especially in marginal weather or when operating in unfamiliar airports.

8.3 The PF, however, always retains the authority and the capability to use the most appropriate guidance and level of automation for any task. When conducting automated instrument approaches, PF is expected to have his hands lightly on controls in readiness to take over control manually if the need arises. If the aircraft doesn’t follow the desired horizontal or vertical flight path and time doesn’t permit analyzing and solving the anomaly, revert without delay to hand-flying (with or without FD) for direct control of the aircraft trajectory. If the autopilot trips during ILS LOC/GS intercept, hand fly on the FD commands and stabilise on the ILS first before attempting to reengage the autopilot. When hand flying the FD should be followed, otherwise the FD commands bars should be cleared from ADI display.

8.4 Engagement of any automatic system to the autopilot requires the PF to call out the engagement and crosschecked by PNF(systems such as NMS NAV mode,AMS armed ,ILS APP , Heading select,IAS hold etc.)

8.5 The illumination of the Approach Progress Display armed lights during engagement will be called out by the PF (……..Armed) and responded by PNF(Checked), while the illumination of the APD green captured lights will be called out by the PNF(………..Captured) and responded by the PF ( Checked)

8.6 Altitude Management System (altitude alert) can be selected only by LHS pilot. He will call out selected altitude and must ensure that the appropriate QNH/QNE is selected in LHS altimeter Upon verification of selected altitude and rate of climb/descent the LHS pilot shall arm selected rate and altitude and call out “………rate of climb/descent and ………ft altitude Set and Armed. The RHS pilot will crosscheck and respond “Checked”. Upon reaching selected altitude when “ alt. captured” appears in the window the PNF should call out “Altitude Captured “ and PF respond “Checked” . Upon levelling off the PNF should call out” Altitude hold” and PF respond “Checked”.

8.7 The autopilot “HDG select” as means of lateral/directional control is encouraged to be used under the following circumstances:

a. For all SIDs; b. Under positive radar vectored environment; c. For all instrument approaches; d. For weather avoidance in flight that requires large and frequent changes e. Below 10 000ft

Note: When RHS is PF he should call out the heading commands for LHS pilot to select. Before engaging the HDG select ensure that HDG bug on LHS instrument is correctly set on the required heading

9.0 RADIO COMMUNICATION

9.1 Our aircraft is installed with two VHF radios and one HF radio.

9.2 Standard setup of VHF radios is as follows:

VHF1- ATC(transferable) VHF2-ATIS,121.5,ops.control

9.3 The FO is responsible for monitoring ATIS and communication with the Flt.Ops. on ground while in the air selection of radios, monitoring ATIS and communication is responsibility of PNF.

9.4 Usage of headset is mandatory during entire flight and it’s only mean of radio communication.

10.0 STANDARD CALLOUTS

10.1 Standard callouts are practiced during climb, descent and final approach. PNF should accomplish the necessary callouts while PF will acknowledge “Checked” to verify correct when callout is made by the other crewmember.

10.2 If a callout is not made by the PNF, after a reasonable time lapse, PF will make the callout.

STANDARD CALLOUTS

CONDITION/LOCATION CALL OUT

Approaching Transition Level/Altitude

“Transition level/altitude, altimeter reset” Call out theQNE/QNH set and then passing altitude

1000ft above/below assigned altitude

“1000 ft to level off, AMS armed “

CLIMB AND DESCENT

10 000ft MSL(FL100) Perform 10 000ft check and call “10 000 ft check completed”

VOR Radial First positive inward Movement of deviation bar

“Radial alive”

First positive inward motion of localiser bar

“Localiser alive”

First positive motion of glide slope bar

“Glide slope alive”

Over final approach fix (FAF) inbound

“FAF….ft.Altimeter and instrument crosscheck”. PF acknowledges “ Checked. No flags.”

Radio Altimeter DA light illuminates at 2000ft AGL

PNF call” Terrain warning”, Both pilots will set the radio altimeter bug to DA/MDA

Over flying Outer Marker PNF call “Outer marker”, PF acknowledge “Checked”

1000ft above field (stabilised height) elevation

“1000ft above ,altimeter instrument crosscheck , landing lights on” PF acknowledges ”Checked. No flags”

FINAL APPROACH

Below 500ft above field elevation

Call out any deviation : “Localiser, radial, glide slope, speed, sink rate” as appropriate.

100ft above DA/MDA “100 to minima” At DA( Precision Approach) “ Minimum, approach,strobe/center lights/runway

INSIGHT or NOT INSIGHT” PF responds: “INSIGHT-LANDING” or “NOT INSIGHT- GO AROUND”

At MDA (Non-precision approach)

“ Minimum, approach,strobe/center lights/runway INSIGHT or NOT INSIGHT” PF responds: “INSIGHT-LANDING” or “NOT INSIGHT- GO AROUND” or “NOT INSIGHT-CONTINUE TO MAP” (if not at MAP)

DECISION AT FINAL

At MAP “ Minimum, approach,strobe/center lights/runway INSIGHT or NOT INSIGHT” PF responds: “INSIGHT-LANDING” or “NOT INSIGHT- GO AROUND”

Note: 1. At minima , the aircraft Captain will decide whether to Land or Go Around 2. If runway is visual at the point when” 1000ft AGL” is called, then the standard calls for “Decision

At Final” are no longer required

11.0 FLAPS OPERATIONS

11.1 Refer to OM on flaps retraction-extension procedures and technique.

11.2 The PF will call for flaps selection (flaps up,18, 42 etc.). The PNF will check flaps speed limit, call out flaps setting before selecting the flaps. With the flaps indicator showing and illumination of selected flaps position the PNF will call out “Flaps….green light” a PF will response “Checked”.

12.0 ALTIMETER SETTING

12.1 Altimeters should be reset after passing the Transition Level or Altitude. PNF will call for altimeter reset. Standard call out will be “Transition, altimeter reset” and then set the QNE or QNH as appropriate. Both pilots will reset the altimeters and PNF will call out altitude passing for altimeter accuracy check. ( e.g.” Passing FL 100 now” and PF will response” + or – 50 ft “depends of deviation)

13.0 RADIO ALTIMETER

13.1 During pre-flight check, the radio altimeter will be set at below zero (indicator out of view and DH light extinguished) During the 10 000 ft check on climb, it will be set at 2000 ft. While on the descent and when the DH light illuminates, the PNF will call out “Terrain warning” and both pilots will reset the radio altimeter bug to DH/MDH unless runway is visual.

13.2 The radio altimeter is NOT to be used as the primary DA/MDA reference for instrument approaches but as a back-up to the pressure altimeter.

13.3 Use of radio altimeter DH light to monitor supplementary system operations ( e.g. wing tip tanks fuel transfer, de-icing of propellers are being used etc.) is encouraged.

14.0 OPERATION OF DEICING SYSTEMS AND WIPERS

14.1 The F/O is responsible to operate all de-icing systems whenever the situation warrants with the knowledge and approval of Captain or when requested by Captain. The F/O should monitor operational limitations of de-icing systems when any of them is in use, and inform Captain whenever the switches are selected on/off or being transferred. The Captain is responsible for the wipers operation and should inform F/.O whenever they are switched on / off.

15.0 NMS/GPS SET-UP

15.1 The NMS/GPS flight plan will be set in accordance with the published operational flight plan (SITA, Flight Star). One flight plan on the NMS/GPS is sufficient for the dispatch. Multiple flight plans may be set on the NMS/GPS provided dispatch time is not affected.

15.2 All waypoint coordinates must be checked with the published charts before inserting into the NMS/GPS as flight plan. The F/O will set up the flight plan during the pre-flight and the flight plan will be checked by the Captain. If the Captain chooses to set the NMS/GPS as non-standard practice, the F/O must crosscheck the flight plan.

16.0 FUEL MONITORING

16.1 Fuel monitoring is of high importance and it is mandatory during entire flight. Fuel remaining will be checked over every identifiable waypoint or navigational aid or at least once every 30 minute period. The F/O will provide fuel remaining figure, compared to the flight plan, to the Captain upon request.

16.2 Holding Reserve/Final reserve/Emergency Fuel Reserve.

When the total fuel remaining reads 200 kg

ATC should be informed that you are operating on Holding Reserve i.e. remaining of 30 minutes. PAN call should be declared when the total fuel remaining has reached 100 kg which will provide sufficient fuel for approach to Minima, missed approach followed by a visual circuit to land . Upon declaring a PAN call, you are expected to land the aircraft, but should a Missed Approach or a GO-AROUND becomes inventible, a MAYDAY call should then be declared when the total fuel remaining in tanks is less than 100 kg.

17.0 VISUAL APPROACH

17.1 Visual approaches are considered cost saving measures for the company and are encouraged whenever the following conditions are met and discussed by crew prior to deciding for a visual approach:

a. Prevailing meteorogical conditions and ATC permitting;

- Reported weather at the airport must ceiling at or above 5000ft AGL and visibility 10km or greater; - The approach must be authorised and under the control of appropriate air traffic control facility; - The crew flying must, at all times, have either the terrain, airport or the preceding aircraft in sight; - Crew must be aware of all weather factors such as strong wind(including tailwind0, turbulence,

low clouds or impending rain;

b. Other pertinent variables/considerations/requirements:

- Crew need to be familiar and have ample experience with airport and airport environment including surrounding terrain, specific airport and runway hazards, runway visual aids such as availability of approach light system,VASI or PAPI;

- To enhance situational awareness , set navigational aids for the instrument approach associated with the landing runway( use information from the navigational aids intelligently for monitoring of profile and also in the case of loss of the visual references);

- Optimising of automation with timely reversion to hand flying; - Adhering to defined PF/PNF task-sharing (PF flies and look outside while PNF monitors head-

down references i.e. instrument references); - The primary elements of the visual approach, associated instrument approach and appropriate

missed approach procedure must be reviewed prior to commencing the approach

17.2 Guidance when conducting visual approaches;

a. The management of the aircraft energy during descent must be proficiently executed in order to achieve the objective of cost saving. Ideally, without compromising safety, the aircraft should be flown during descent with engine power levers set to idle up to the point where appropriate engines power should be reset ( usually after LG extension) in final preparation for landing.

b. For a “straight-in” approach (any approach within 45 degrees of the centreline); - Aim to be 3000ft AGL and 150-160 knots 10 track miles to touch down; - At this point, start reducing speed in preparation for LG and flaps extension; - At 7 miles to touch down lower the landing gear (speed 135 knots) - At 6 miles extend flaps 18 and reduce speed to 110knots; - At 4 track miles extend landing flaps 42 (if appropriate) and begin reducing speed to the target Final approach speed; - Aircraft must be on stabilised approach by 500ft AGL. c. For the purpose of aircraft training within circuits, the designated circuit altitude is 1500 ft AGL.It should be highlighted that when conducting visual approaches, visual references should always be complemented with references from instruments and navigational aids.

17.3 Visual Approach at Night This is not encouraged due to the following constraints:

a. Fewer visual references are useable and visual illusions and spatial disorientation occurs more frequently;

b. Visual illusions (such as the black-hole effect) affect the flight crew’s vertical situational awareness and horizontal situational awareness, particularly on the base leg and when turning final;

18.0 CANPA ( constant-angle Non-precision Approach)

18.1 Traditional non-precision step-down approaches are base don obstacle-clearance profile. However such approaches are not optimum and hence, crew are encouraged to execute the CANPA final approach which features a constant-angle descent using the vertical speed mode with altitude- distance checks.

18.2 The benefits of flying a pre-calculated constant angle approach profile not only provide a more stabilised flight path but also reduce workload as well as the risk of error.

18.3 When conducting a CANPA, during the final descent to MDA (H), both pilots must monitor the flight path to ensure that descent is not continued through a charted step-down altitude before reaching the associated charted fix. Awareness among crew must be kept at high level at all times.

19.0 STABILISED HEIGHT

19.1 All flights must be stabilised by the “Approach Gate” which is defined as a “point in space (1000ft above airport elevation in IMC and 500ft above airport elevation in VMC) at which a go-around is required if the aircraft doesn’t meet defined stabilised approach criteria.

19.2 An approach is stabilised when all of the following criteria are met:

-The aircraft is at the correct flight path; -Only small changes in heading/glide path are required to maintain the correct flight path; -The aircraft speed is not more than Vref+20knots indicated and not less than Vref; -The aircraft is in proper landing configuration

-Sink rate is not greater than 1000ft per min; if an approach requires higher rate than 1000ft/min, a Special briefing should be conducted -Power setting is appropriate for the aircraft configuration and is not below the minimum power for Approach as defined by the aircraft operating manual;

- All briefings and checklist have been conducted -ILS approaches must be flown within one dot of the glide slope and localiser; -During circling approach, wings should be level on final when the aircraft 500 ft above airport Elevation; -Any unique approach procedures or abnormal conditions requiring a deviation from the above elements of a stabilised approach require a special briefing.

20. NAVIGATION

20.1 PF will decide on the selection of en-route navigational aids. Whenever possible, PF will maintain all the navigational aids along the track whereas the PNF will attempt to use cross-track ground navigational aids for NMS/GPS waypoint crosscheck.

20.2 Pilots are to inform each other of changes to any of the selected navigational aids.

21.0 FLIGHT DECK DISCIPLINE

21.1 Sterile cockpit

No flights crewmember may engage in, nor may any pilot –in-command permit , any activity during a critical phase of flight which can distract any crewmember from the performance of his/her duties or which could interfere in any way with proper conduct of those duties.

a. Activities such as eating meals, engaging in nonessential conversations within the cockpit and reading publications not related to the proper conduct of the flight are not permitted during the critical phase of flight.

b. Critical phases of flight include all ground operations involving taxi, take off and landing, and all other flight operations below 10 000 ft(AGL) except cruise flight.

c. For the purpose of emphasizing the “sterile cockpit” environment , all crew are to have their shoulder harness fastened for all flight conditions below 10 000ft AGL including the taxi phase.

21.2 Transfers of Control At any one time, a pilot must be in control of the aircraft of the aircraft and in order to avoid any confusion as to who is having the controls, a proper handing over and taking over of controls must be conducted.

a. The aircraft Captain has the authority to take over control from his/her co-pilot whenever he/she feels that the situation warrants him/her to do so. The aircraft Captain must clearly state his/her intention by saying out positively “I have Control” and the co-pilot must acknowledge “You have Control”. The Captain then ends the procedure by saying “My Control”.

b. On the other hand, whenever a pilot wishes to hand over control to the other pilot, he/she must state his/her intention by saying “You have Control” and the other pilot must acknowledge and respond by saying” My Control”

c. Monitored Approach

During poor visibility approaches when the aircraft Captain is expected to make the landing, it is encouraged that allows the First Officer to carry out the instrument approach while he/she closely monitors the conduct of the approach. Besides making all the standard call outs, the Captain shall also be looking for visual cues (before or at minima) for the landing. The Captain shall take over control of the aircraft positively at or before the minima once he/she has the necessary visual cues required to to continue the approach for landing while the First Officer shall now revert to PNF role. The task sharing role of each individual pilot must be properly briefed by the Captain prior to conducting such an approach.

d. After landing

Whenever a RHS pilot makes the landing, transfer of control of the aircraft to the LHS pilot during the landing roll shall be made once the aircraft has attained a normal taxi speed. The position of the reverse thrust levers when transferring controls shall be in beta range at idle.

21.3 Leaving the Flight Deck In-flight No crew is allowed to leave cockpit during any critical (Refer to 21.1b for definition), climb and descent phases of flight. During non-critical phase of flight, only one crewmember at a time is allowed to leave his/her station. He/she is to advise the other crewmember of his/her intention as well as brief of any outstanding or impending matters that needed to be monitored or attended to. Upon coming back to his/her station, he/she should announce that he/she is back and ready to be updated on any change(s) of the flight status while he/she was away. It is the duty of the other crewmember(pilot) to inform him / her about any change(s) if such one happened .If there wasn’t any change or call the duty of pilot who was in the station( seat) is to say “NO changes, no calls” and arriving crewmember must confirm by “Roger”.

22.0 Approach and Landing Risk Awareness Tool Checklist

22.1 The Approach and Landing Risk Awareness Tool (laminated checklist available in the aircraft) is to be referred to all crew whenever a planned or unplanned diversion is being contemplated or whenever crew is being tasked to fly to a new destination for the first time. This is to create the necessary awareness among all crew off all the possible approach and landing risks that they may be exposed to.

22.2 The Captain of the aircraft is responsible in deciding on the most suitable time to initiate the brief.

13.0 GO-AROUND PROCEDURE

13.1 The importance of being go-around prepared and being go-around-minded can’t be over-emphasised mainly because a go-around is not frequent occurrence. This requires having a clear mental image of applicable briefings, standard calls, sequences of actions, task sharing and cross-checking and being prepared to abandon an approach if requirements are not met interims of weather minimums or whenever the elements of stabilised approach can’t be met and whenever any crew member from any reason call “Go-around”.

13.2 Approach brief covering the required sequence of actions and task sharing of a Go-Around procedure must be done on the the first approach off the day and whenever deem appropriate for the subsequent sector.

GO-AROUND PROCEDURE


Simultaneously:

-Call out “Going-around” -Autopilot-disengaged -Power levers advance to take-off power and call out “St take-off power” -Rotate to go around attitude

-Ensure autopilot disengaged -Monitor PF initial power advancing, adjust take-off power and call out “Take-off power set” -Monitor go-around attitude , and call any deviation

-Confirm positive rate of climb and then call “Gear up”


-Observe positive rate of climb and call out “Positive rate of climb” -Select LG lever up and call “Gear up selected” -When gear is up and locked call out “Gear up no lights” -Notify ATC

-Verify the altitude and call ” Flaps zero,cimb power”


-Passing 400ft AGL call out “Acceleration altitude” -Select flaps to zero position and call “Flaps zero selected” -When flaps is retracted call out “Flaps zero, green light, climb power set”

-Call for “After Take-off Checklist” - Perform after take-off scan , switch off spoilers and ABC and when verified and finished announce “After take-off checklist completed”

1.0 INTRODUCTION

1.1 “Abnormal and Emergency “procedures contained in “LET” Quick Reference Handbook (QRH) is for immediate reference for the flight crew. Amplified description of these procedures can be obtained from the L-410 Aircraft Flight Manual.

1.2 Crewmembers are expected to recognise the differences between Abnormal and Emergency procedures.

2.0 CHECKLIST PROCEDURES

2.1 A crewmember detecting an existing or impending emergency or any abnormal condition requiring alternate operations will immediately inform PF.

2.2 The PF will take the necessary action to establish and/or maintain control of the airplane and call for the appropriate checklist .On his/her command the PNF will refer to the QRH for the checklist and read aloud, in sequence of each checklist item including its respective response. Following the reading of a checklist, the PNF will ensure the designated PF and PNF items are accomplished accordingly and then call out the response.

2.3 First Officer when acting as PF will continue to exercise decision making during any impending emergency or abnormal operations. Without compromising safety, the Captain may positively take-over control and thereby reverting to PF role during any phase of flight. In which case the First Officer will immediately assume the roll of PNF.

2.4 Crewmembers will silence any aural warning as soon as the cause of the warning is recognised. The silencing of aural warning is normal crew action and is not listed in any procedure.

2.5 Oxygen masks and goggles should be donned and communication established whenever situation warrants it and this is not limited to the recall procedures.

2.6 Crewmembers will check circuit breakers and test lights when appropriate, what is normal crew action and is not listed in Abnormal and Emergency procedures unless there is specific requirement. One reset of any tripped circuit breaker may be attempted after a cooling period of two minutes. If the circuit breaker re-trips, don’t attempt another reset. Do not reset any tripped fuel pump circuit breaker.

2.7 Upon completion of a checklist, PNF (F/O on ground) will announce “XXXX Checklist completed”

3.0 ABNORMAL AND EMERGENCY PROCEDURES

3.1 Emergency procedures in the QRH are the checklists with red shaded background. These procedures contain Recall (marked with red boxed M) action items, Reference items and review items.

3.2 Abnormal procedures contain only the Reference and review items.

3.3 The Recall boxed items are to be commanded by PF. Standard call to perform recall items will be “XXXX Checklist, Memory Items”. After the recall action had been carried out, at the appropriate time, the PF will ask for the recall checklist to be read by PNF. The PNF will respond to all RECALL items, ensuring that the appropriate items have been accomplished.

3.4 Closing of Power Levers, Feathering of Propellers, closing Fuel-Stop Cocks, Fuel-Fire Cocks and pushing Fire Knobs require approval of the PF and confirmation of the PNF.

3.5 The reference items are to be read together with the required response by PNF and ensure that all items have been accomplished.

3.6 Each review, advisory or informational item on the checklist must be read aloud. PF will acknowledge the item with a suitable response.

4.0 REJECTED TAKE-OFF

4.1 The decision to reject a take-off rests solely with the Captain. The decision must be made so that stopping action can begin before V1. If the Captain decides to reject the take-off, he should clearly announce “REJECT”, commence the stopping action and assume control of the airplane. If the First Officer is making the take-off, he/she should not abandon control of the airplane until the Captain makes a positive input to the controls and declare “My controls”.

4.2 During the take-off, any crewmember recognizing any malfunction must call it out clearly and precisely.

REJECTED TAKE-OFF PROCEDURE


Without delay:

-Simultaneously close the power levers and apply maximum wheel brakes -Deploy spoilers-FULL UP -Apply maximum allowable reverse power consistent with conditions. -Continue maximum braking until certain the airplane will stop on the runway

Verify Actions as Follows:

-Power lever closed and maximum brakes applied -Verify spoilers deployed, if not call out “Spoilers” -Observe and verify reverse power applied and operating -Call out any omitted action items. -Monitor engine instruments. Advise Captain of any limit being approached or other abnormalities.

Field length permitting

-At 50 knots, the primary mode of slowing down is now being transferred from the reverse power to the brakes. -At normal taxi speed, the power lever should be gradually returned from “beta range” to the flight idle.

-Communicate the rejected take-off decision to the ATC

-When the airplane is stopped , perform appropriate Abnormal/Emergency procedures as required -Review brake cooling schedule for brake cooling time and precautions.

Consider the following:

The possibility of deflating tyre, the need to clear the runway, the need to clear the runway, the requirement for remote parking, alerting fire equipment, , advising the ground crew of the hot brakes hazard, and completition of Abnormal/Emergency checklist for conditions which caused the rejected take-off.

5.0 ENGINE FAILURE AT OR AFTER V1

5.1 Engine failure is a general term used to describe an engine flameout (can be re-start), damage (seizure or severe vibration) or separation. Upon noticing an engine failure, any crewmember may call out “Engine failure” and the appropriate engine number.

ENGINE FAILURE AT OR AFTER V1


-Maintain directional control -At Vr smoothly rotate the aircraft with slower rate and to lower pitch -FLY THE AIRPLANE, Maintain directional control and positive climb

-Call out “V1 engine failure” -At Vr call out “Rotate” -Checked that both power levers are full forward -Monitor safe airspeed, heading and positive climb. -Call out any unsafe condition

-Note positive rate of climb and call out “Gear up” -When positive rate of climb is indicated(both IVSI and altimeter indication) call out “ Positive rate” -Position LG lever up and call out “Gear up selected” -When LG is up call out “Gear up, lights out”

-Climb at V2, limit the bank angle to 15 degrees. -call out ” Identify the problem”

-Determine failed engine and cause of failure

-At 400ft AGL verify with crew on the failed engine -Passing 400ft AGL (company emergency altitude that crewmembers is allowed to initiate recall action) verify and confirm failed engine and call out “Passing safety altitude”

- Call out “Engine Failure/Fire checklist, Memory items” -Recall each item according to the QRH -Command activation of items

-Touch and say out each off recalled items without activating it -After PF command , confirm and activate each item as instructed

WITHOUT SPECIAL PROCEDURE -At published flap retraction altitude, command “Flaps zero” call for “ Climb power” or if necessary to clear obstacles maintain maximum power as long as time permits -Make intentions and decisions known to the other crewmember -Retract flaps on command , set climb power if appropriate and when retracted call out “Flaps zero, climb(maximum) power set -Declare emergency to ATC by MAYDAY call, and advice intention and next course of action

WITH SPECIAL PROCEDURE

-Execute Special procedure if required (if unable to follow SO ask PNF to advise ATC and request immediate assistance.

-Monitor and ensure that PF is executing the SP correctly. At SP designated points, advise the PF to execute emergency procedure turn if necessary. MAYDAY call and inform ATC of the special procedure or if unable to comply with SP. -Monitor 5 min. maximum power limit

-Roll out on SP heading first before retracting flaps(not below flaps retraction altitude)

-retract flaps as commanded by PF

-Call for “Climb power” -Set climb power and call “Climb power set” - Continue with the SP -Above 1500ft above airfield, it may be turned around to land, climb to conduct instrument approach or divert to another airfield for landing. Make intentions known to the other crewmember.

-Provide appropriate support accordingly

-Call for appropriate ‘Emergency’ checklist

-Call for “After take-off checklist”

-Perform the checklist ,ensure items are carried out and respond on the all items in the checklist -Perform and challenge the checklist, when finished call out “After take-off checklist” completed

-Consider engine re-start if it was an engine flame-out

-Check engine status and advise PF

6.0 RESPONSE TO EGPWS ALERTS

6.1 The recommended response to EGPWS (Enhanced Ground Proximity Warning System) alerts is as follows:

a. CAUTION ALERT

-Stop any descent or climb as necessary to eliminate alert -Analyse all available instruments and information to determine the best course of action. -Advice ATC if necessary.

b. WARNING ALERT

-PF aggressively position power levers to the maximum available power as determinate by emergency need. The PNF should adjust power and ensure that TO/GA power is set. -If engaged, disengaged the autopilot and smoothly, but aggressively increase pitch to the maximum permissible for that configuration, to obtain maximum climb performance. -Do not change the aircraft configuration and continue climbing until warning is eliminated and safe flight is assured. -Advice ATC of the situation

6.2 Note:

Climbing is only recommended response unless operating in visual conditions and/or pilot determinates, based on all available information that turning in addition to the climb is the safest course of the action.
