AP ON AP OFF (flaps and speed flaps)
AP ON
PF “flaps 5, speed 5 set”
PM “Checked”
AP OFF
PF “flaps 5, set speed 5”
PM “speed 5 set”
PF “checked”
Auto throttle ON / OFF
AT ON
PF sets 40% N1, when stable at 40%, push TOGA switch
PM “TO THRUST SET”
PF calls “checked” and removes hand from throttle
PM places hand on throttle
AT OFF
PF sets 40%, stable at 40%, advance thrust lever removes hand and call “SET TO THRUST”
PM sets hand on throttle sets TO thrust and calls “TO THRUST SET”
PF calls “checked”
METAR, TAF (short), TAF (long)

Transition planning to operating minima
Transition will be when briefing is completed
When 2 alternates?
When destination aerodrome weather is below minima or has no weather information.
MEL
Minimum equipment list
Malfunctions or missing parts on the inside of the plane (applicable until the plane moves onder its own power)
CDL
Configuration deviation list
Malfunctions or missing parts on the outside of the airplane (applicable until the plane moves onder its own power)
QRH
Quick reference handbook
Applicable when started taxiing
MEL Rectification interval
A - no standard interval (often before next flight)
B - within 3 consecutive days
C - within 10 consecutive days
D - within 120 consecutive days
Taxi and trip fuel
Fuel consumed before take off
Fuel to reach destination
Contingency (for what?) and final reserve fuel
At least 5% or 5 min of the trip fuel (higher)
- deviations aeroplane fuel consumption
- deviations from weather forecast
- deviations from planned routing and/or cruising level
Fuel to fly for 30 min at 1500’ in ISA above aerodrome
Alternate, extra and additional fuel
Fuel to destination alternate via the destination
Extra fuel deemed necessary by commander
Additional fuel needed by operator
FMC RESERVE FUEL
Final reserve + alternate fuel
Alternate fuel
An operator must select at least one destination alternate unless:
- planned flight time TO to LDG < 6H
- two seperate runways are available and usable at destination aerodrome
- forecast visibily > or equal to 5000M
- cloudbase > or equal to highest of:
- circling height + 500’
- 2000’
TEM Model threats categories
- Anticipated threats: known to crew: thunderstorms, congestion, complex SID’s, terrain
- Unanticipated threats: these occur suddenly: malfunctions, TCAS RA, ATC Ambiguity, unforcasted adverse weather
- Latent threats: These are not directly obvious/observable by the crew: fatigue, optical illusion, stress, lack of experience.
Environmental threats
- Weather: thunderstorms, icing, windshear, crosswind, temperatures
- ATC: traffic congestion, TCAS TA/RA, ATC error, language, non-standard, runway change
- Airport: runway, bad signals, aids u/s, complex nav
Organizational threats
- Operational pressure: delays, late arrivals, equipment changes
- Aircraft: a/c malfunctions, automation event, MEL/CDL
- Cabin: flight attendant, cabin event distraction, interruption, cabin door security
TEM Model errors categories
- AC handling errors: errors occuring whilst interaction with A/C: incorrect altimeter setting, incorrect configuration
- Procedural errors: errors occuring whilst interacting with a procedure: missed item on CL, incorrect callouts
- Communicational errors: errors occurring whilst interacting with people (ATC): miscommunication, incorrect phraseology
UAS defination
A position, speed, attitude, or configuration of an A/C that results from flight crew error, actions, or inaction: and clearly reduces safety margins
TEM Model UAS categories
- A/C handling: vertical/lateral/speed deviations, unstable approach
- Ground navigation: entering wrong taxiway
- incorrect A/C configuration: incorrect configuration of systems, flight controls, engine
Outcome UAS
Incident, ASR, accident

Up to 70% of crew activities are countermeasures related
- Planning countermeasure: anticipated and unexpected threats: proper planning
- Execution countermeasures: essential for error detection and error response: proper monitoring/x-checking
- Review countermeasures: essential for managing the changing conditions of a flight: speak up without hesitation
TSAT TOBT
Target start-up approval time +/- 5min (ready to call ATC)
Target off-block time
EOBT CTOT
Estimated off-block time
Calculated Take-off time +10/-5 min (eurocontrol slot time)
TTOT AOBT
Target take-off time (expected Airborne based on TSAT)
Actual Off block time
PM may set
Heading + Altitude without PF command
Speed need to be commanded by PF
FMA annunciations
CLB : (Speed) N1 (Pitch) MCP SPD
DCD: (speed) retard > arm (pitch) MCP SPD
Aborted engine start checklist
- Hung start - N1 or N2 does not increase or increases very slowly after EGT increases
- wet start: EGT does not increase by 10 seconds after engine start lever is moved to IDLE
- hot start: EGT quickly nears or exceeds the start limit
- no oil pressure indication by the time that engine is stable at IDLE
