26
Ground / Flight Deck Communication Note
Use exact words and phrases in FCOM
27
Attracting Ground Crews Attention
Flashing the landing lights
28
Pushback and Delayed Start
Expected at any Company base. If taxiing:
- Follow normal Pushback and Before Taxi Procedures,
- Start APU approaching the hold position,
- At the position shut down engines and complete normal shutdown procedure,
- Start engines following normal engine start procedures according to CTOT,
- Initial pushback time is recorded in the EFL in the comments but it's not the legal OFF BLOCK
29
Aircraft Towing Crew Requirement
- Only one pilot required,
- Company Captains are qualified,
- Briefing by Engineer or Duty Pilot,
- Normal Preflight and Postflight procedures apply
30
Potable Water Guidance
- If potable water empty and bars have not loaded, can't depart,
- If potable water 1/8 and bars have not loaded, can depart with conservative use,
- If potable water > 1/8 and bars are loaded, normal service until 1/8
31
Mass and Balance Documents
- LID: Load Information Document or,
- Paper Loadsheet
32
Rear Hold Status
Commander shall always ask the dispatcher to "confirm the status of the rear hold"
33
Infant Seating Restrictions
- May not occupy direct access seats,
- Each seat row unit (triple) may contain 1 infant
34
Cold Weather Ops Flap Extension On the Ground
- Delay until reaching holding point in Freezing Conditions or following de-icing,
- If extended before, hold over time is no longer valid,
- With flaps extended, HOT observed to be degraded as much as half
35
Type I Fluid Specifications
- For anti-icing the mixture should have freezing point of at least 10 degrees below the OAT,
- Increasing the concentration does not provide any extension in HOT
36
Type III Fluid Usage
- Intended for use on aircraft with low rotation speeds,
- Speed less than 100KT,
- Type II and IV generally do not pass the low speed test
37
CSFF Relief
- When OAT 4 degrees or more,
- Inform CSS when relief is applied
38
Clear Ice Cautions
- When fuel temperature subzero and large quantity in main tanks,
- OAT around 0 degrees and drizzle/rain present,
- Most vulnerable parts: wing root and skins in contact with unused fuel,
- Using WAI may melt the snow that may freeze again later,
- If in doubt DE-ICE
39
LOUT
- Lowest Operational Use Temperature,
- Not less than 10 degrees of freezing point for Type I, 7 degrees for Type II, III, IV,
- LOUTs for mixtures only given when relevant temperature is warmer
40
De-icing and Fuel Temperature
- If fuel temperature < OAT, inform the service provider,
- In this condition stronger mix may be used
41
De-ice and Anti-ice Methods
- Brushing,
- Fluid application,
- Infrared heat,
- Forced air
42
De-icing/Anti-icing at Home Bases
- During early morning preflight checks if required Maintenance supervise the process,
- If Hoar Frost likely, maintenance may de-ice/anti-ice overnight or early morning,
- Anti-icing provides a long HOT against hoar frost
43
DAR Form
- De-icing/Anti-icing Request Form,
-"Contamination Check" part indicates which areas to be cleaned and filled by commander or engineer,
- Commander signs the form and inserts relevant Tech Log page reference,
- Commander keeps top copy and clips to the stick checklist for a reminder of HOT until T/O roll
44
De/Anti-icing with Engines Running
- Ensure flight details and Contamination Check filled. Sign the form with relevant Tech Log page reference,
- Provide Tech Log page copy to the agent prior engine start,
- After procedure confirm Anti-icing code via headset and the name of the person responsible,
- Write the name to top blue copy,
- Sign the form and clip it to stick checklist until T/O roll
45
Service Provider Without DAR Form
- They can use theirs,
- Their form copy shall be attached to EFL or flight envelope
46
Alternative Methods of Removal of Dry Snow
- Long handled soft brooms and squeegees used for wings and stabilizers,
- Soft cotton rope or fabric hoses used for upper fuselage,
- If structure is dry and OAT below 3 degrees with light snow, it's advisable not to spray aircraft
47
De/Anti-ice First Aid Measures
- Ingestion: give large quantities of water,
- Skin contact: Wash off in flowing water, launder contaminated clothing,
- Eye contact: Irrigate for 5 minutes,
- Inhalation: Remove to fresh air if feeling unwell
48
Dried De/Anti-ice Fluid Risk
- When surfaces treated but the aircraft not been flown or,
- Not been subject to precipitation
49
Anti-icing Application Start Time Limit
Typically within 3 minutes of de-icing
50
Removal of Local Area Contamination
- For example for local CSFF,
- Freezing conditions not exists,
- Application must be symmetrical (even no contamination on the other side),
- Use fluids which are suitable for one step procedure,
51
Pre Takeoff Contamination Check
- If HOT has been exceeded or in doubt,
- Commander shall arrange an external check,
- If not posssible de-ice and anti-ice again
52
Visual Cues For Anti-icing Deterioration
- Surfaces look glossy, smooth and wet when anti-iced,
- Loss of gloss or dulling means deterioration
53
Can Flight Crew Supervise the De/Anti-icing Operation
Yes if no approved contractor present,
54
De/Anti-icing Fluid Mixture Notes
- First number is the fluid amount (75/25, 75 for fluid),
- If different mixture used, use more conservative value from the list (for 80/20, use 75/25)
55
De/Anti-icing Time Recording
- Given by agent as a local time,
- Commander needs to convert it to UTC
56
Icing Intensity Definitions
- Light: Altitude/Heading change not necessary,
- Moderate: Altitude/Heading change desirable,
- Severe: De/Anti-icing systems fails to control or reduce the hazard
