Classification of Operations
(CAR 206)
- Charter – carriage of passengers or cargo for hire or reward to and from any place that is not operated to fixed schedules or terminals. Unless the space for passengers and cargo isn’t available to the public generally.
- RPT – transporting persons or cargo generally for hire or reward with fixed terminals and schedules over specific routes.

Type of Information contained in an Operations Manual
(CAR 215, CAAP 215-1(2))
Basically explains who can operate, how the operation is to take place and where the operation can take place.

Lighting requirements at aerodromes
Jepps
RPT aircraft must not depart or land at an aerodrome at night unless the following lighting is meet: (All lighting is to be electric)
§ Runway edge lighting
§ Threshold lighting
§ Illuminated wind indicator (if unable a AWIS/ATIS must be available)
§ Obstacle lighting (if applicable) § Taxiway lighting § Apron flood lighting If PAL is not used lighting must be available from 10mins prior to departure to 30mins after. And 30mins prior to arrival to completion of taxi.
Portable Lighting – alternate required unless a responsible person present.
Standby Power – with no standby power an alternate required unless a responsible person is present.
PAL (with standby) – alternate required unless a responsible person is present to manually operate the lights.
Partial Runway Lighting Failure – Double spacing of runway edge light is allowed in less than VMC if the visibility is 1.5x the required visibility for the instrument approach being flown.
Permanent Threshold Lighting – Green Runway Edge Lighting – White, 60m spacing for instrument runways (ILS), or 90m for NPA or non-instrument runways. For CAT 1 and 2 runways the last 600m are YELLOW.
Runway Centreline Lighting – White, from threshold to 900m from end.
§ Alternating red and white to 300m form end. § Red last 300m Touchdown Zone Lighting – Only required for CAT 2 and 3 runways.
Minimum runway width
Code C3 30 metres
Aerodrome requirements- Alternate Airport
If the destination airport forecast is not available or provisional an alternate must be nominated.
o Arrival at the destination up to 30mins prior to the commencement of the following weather requires an alternate:
o Cloud – more than SCT below alternate minima.
o Vis – less than alternate minima. Or a PROB of fig, mist, dust etc that will reduce the vis to below the alternate minima.
o Wind – Crosswind or downwind (including gusts) above the certification of the aircraft.
Aerodrome Requirements- Radio Nav Aids
RPT requires the ability to suffer an airborne failure of a NAVAID and still conduct an instrument approach.
Fuel planning requirements
OM1
Pre-Flight Requirements
o Taxi Fuel – 120kg (included 30mins APU, engine start and taxi). o Flight Fuel – Take-off to Touchdown o Alternate Fuel (when required) – missed approach, flight fuel to alternate) o Variable Reserve – 10% capped at 1000kg o Fixed Reserve – 30mins holding at 1500ft AGL.
o Weather/Traffic Fuel – calculated at FL200 o Contingency Fuel (when required) o Manoeuvring Fuel (included in flight fuel) – 200kg INTER TS – 60mins fuel will be carried
In-Flight Requirements
§ Fuel to a suitable airport § 10% of above § Fixed Reserve § Weather/Traffic
Contingency Fuel Requirements (Fuel to an Adequate Airport)
o Engine Failure § 10mins fixed reserve single engine (400kg) § 10% variable § Weather Holding
o Depressurised § 30mins fixed reserve § Weather Holding
Location of aircraft while refuelling

Aircraft loading system Requirements
CAO 20.16.2, CAO 20.16.3
All aircraft need to have a loading system unless it can be shown that the aircraft can not possibility be loaded so the CG falls outside the approved range.
o RPT load sheets must be carried on the aircraft and a copy left at the

Maintenance authority
OM1 14-10
Currently Jetstar does not authorise pilot maintenance in any circumstances. Pulling circuit breakers is considered maintenance unless:
Part of an ECAM/FCOM or QRH procedure. Or part of an ‘O’ procedure associated with an MEL.
Limitations of an ATPL
- Only conduct an IAP if the aircraft is equipped for that type of approach
- Only conduct a circling approach (in IFR) if flight tested within the last 12 months, including circling, or most recent IPC included circling
- OR participating in an approved cyclic that includes circling and is approved by the operated (Not JQ)
- Only conduct 3D approach as per the above requirements, or if completed a flight test in last 24 months
- Only authorized to conduct any IAP if the holder has completed training, and demonstrated to an examiner or approved person
Recent experience for an ATPL
Experience not required if successfully complete an operator proficiency check that covers IFR within 3 months
- OR participating in an approved cyclic
- Conducted at least 3 instrument approach operations within the previous 90 days (aircraft or FSTD)
- At least one approach in an aircraft/FSTD of same category
- Authorised to conduct a type of approach (2D, 3D, Azimuth, CDI) operation only if they have conducted that type of approach within the last 90 days
ATPL instrument proficiency check
- The holder of an ATPL is only authorized to exercise the privileges under the IFR if they have a valid IPC for the aircraft category
- An IPC is valid till the end of the 12th month from the month in which the operator passes the IPC (or the ATPL flight test, or an operator proficiency check that includes IFR operations)
- OR the period in which the holder is successfully participating within a cyclic
- Can be reviewed within 3 month of expiry and maintain expiration date, or is immediately revoked on failure
- If the IPC is from participation in a cyclic, the check is only valid for operations undertaken with that operator
