Question 7

Seatbelts

Answer 7

All persons on the flight deck shall occupy a seat and wear the safety harness, suitably
adjusted:
• during takeoff and landing;
• during an instrument approach;
• when the aircraft is flying at a height less than 1,000 ft above the terrain;
• shoulder harnesses must be worn during climb below the higher of 10,000 ft or Transition Altitude or leaving cruise altitude on descent;
• in turbulent conditions and at other times when the Pilot In Command considers it necessary for safety;
• when the Seat Belt sign is illuminated – the only exceptions to this requirement are Flight Crew performing normal pre-flight duties prior to pushback.

Question 8

Transfer of control

Answer 8

“Handing over”

“Taking over”

If the aircraft is being flown manually, the Flight Crew member taking over control will place a hand on the control column/sidestick, a hand on the thrust levers and their feet on the rudder pedals before stating “Taking Over”.

Question 9

Transfer of control examples

Answer 9

Examples only
• partaking of a meal if doing so requires the seat to be moved back;
• where carrying out paperwork or reading documentation does not permit appropriate aircraft monitoring;
• making other than simple FMC entries; or
• making PAs during times of increased workload.

Question 10

Guarding flight controls

Answer 10

PF Duties:
• During critical stages of flight, the PF must guard the control column/side stick and rudder pedals. For the purpose of this policy, critical stages of flight are defined as any time the flaps are not in the UP position.
• The PF must guard the thrust levers any time the automatic system is commanding significant thrust changes and on approach to landing.

PM Duties:
• The PM must guard rudder pedals during takeoff and landing and when the aircraft is being parked. Guarding rudder pedals means feet lightly on or in the immediate vicinity of the rudder pedals (brakes for parking) while ensuring inputs from the PF are not impeded.

Question 11

Thunderstorm Avoidance

Answer 11

Dep/Arr 3nm
Enroute <20000ft = 5nm
20-25000ft = 8nm
>25000ft = 10nm
- Don’t overfly by less than 5000ft
- If possible, detour between the storm cells of a
squall line rather than directly above them.

Question 12

Flight near thunderstorms

Answer 12

If it is unavoidable to fly closer than the minimum recommended distances, observe the following precaution:
• It is necessary to fly parallel to a line of cells, the safest path is on the upwind side (the side away from the direction of storm travel);
• Avoid flight under the anvil. The greatest possibility of encountering hail is downwind of the cell.

Question 13

Audio control panel selections

Answer 13

Flight Crew are responsible for communication selections on their own audio selector panels.

Question 14

Company call after departure in controlled airspace and lowered workload.

Answer 14

Perth - A Departure Call is not required for routine operations

Outports - Contact the Ground Service Providers and advise:
• ETA;
• Reason for Delay; and
• Any other relevant information.

Question 15

Company Arrival call

Perth Qantas terminal

Answer 15

Perth
Qantas Terminal Arrivals
Contact “Qantas Perth” on 129.5 and advise:
• Arrival time;
• Special handling;
• Request a bay number; and
• Any engineering requirements (A320 only).

Question 16

Company Arrival call

Perth Network terminal

Answer 16

Network Terminal Arrivals
Contact “Network Perth” on 130.4 and advise:
• Arrival time;
• Special handling; and
• Request a bay number.

Question 17

Company Arrival call

Outport

Answer 17

Outports
Contact the appropriate Ground Service Provider and advise or request:
• ETA;
• Fuel uplift requirement;
• Requirements for assistance with inbound passengers;
• Outbound special handling requirements (request from Broome only);
• Outbound payload restrictions;
• Technical issues/aircraft serviceability if return service will be affected;
• Any other relevant information.
The Ground Service Provider will advise of any change to outbound COBT, any
significant change to passenger or freight load and planned special load/DGs and
passenger special handling.

Question 18

Headset usage

Answer 18

• For communication with the headset operator regarding engine start or pushback when utilising headset dispatch;
• Both Flight Crew will select the interphone on from the “cleared to disconnect”instruction until completion of the transition drills and the associated checklist and communicate via headset;
• From the top of descent until parked;
• At all times when operating below 10,000 ft; and
• If it is deemed operationally necessary.

Question 19

ATIS/AWIS QNH verification

Answer 19

Automatic Terminal Information Service (ATIS) or Aerodrome Weather Information Service (AWIS) information, in particular QNH, should be verified or viewed by more than one crew member. Flight Crew must listen to the ATIS/AWIS individually or, if the ATIS is received by ACARS, one Flight Crew member must verify the ACARS derived QNH with the QNH advised by ATC, or by listening to the broadcast ATIS.

Question 20

Aircraft Light policy

Answer 20

Same as Jetstar.
Differences - wing lights turn on/off with landing lights

Landing lights maybe used in a holding pattern at PIC discretion.

Question 21

Sterile cockpit policy

Answer 21

• The closure of the cockpit door in preparation for departure until the Seat Belt sign has been turned off during climb; and
• After the Seat Belt sign is illuminated during descent, to the opening of the main entry door after landing.

Note: The period within 1,000 ft of a level off during climb or descent should also be treated as a Sterile Flight Deck period by Flight Crew.

Question 22

Use of external lights

Class D, E, G?

Answer 22

All available landing lights must be illuminated when climbing and descending in non- radar/ADSB Class D or E airspace and all Class G airspace below 10,000 ft.

Question 23

Inbound CTAF Verification Procedure

Cockpit call

Answer 23

PM - 45-35nm to run, check and select frequency on com2.
Call: “(Apt) CTAF XXX Decimal X” e.g.
“Geraldton CTAF 126.8”

PF - Checks frequency in Jepp & on comm2.
Respond: “Frequency” e.g.“126.8”

Question 24

Inbound CTAF Verification Procedure

After frequency confirmed

Answer 24

• Listen on frequency for name of CTAF by other users or call from AFRU.
• If no traffic or response incorrect or garbled, key 3 times for AFRU response. Listen for response.

• Sinks/drains in the area are not used to dispose of liquids.
- Report in the tech log.

Question 32

Weather Radar Failure Inflight

Answer 32

In addition to the requirements of the Jeppesen General Flight Procedures Flight Crew should only consider continuing the flight to the destination if there is no likelihood of
thunderstorms, lightning, turbulence or icing. Consideration should also be given to inflight conditions (IMC versus VMC) and night operations.
