Differences (from Jetstar) FCOM NETWORK SOP Flashcards
RECEIPT OF FINAL LOAD SHEET by Cabin Supervisor
The Cabin Supervisor will state “……..passengers on board, may I close the door?”
If correct, the Flight Crew will respond: “Correct count, close the door”.
How long before ETD must a airways clearance be requested if no PDC is received?
If the PDC is not received within 15 minutes prior to ETD, Flight Crew members must verbally request an airways clearance.
Provisional load sheet EFF+ version confirmation
PF confirms PM name in EFF+
Then verbal check
- City pairing, flight number and date;
- Aircraft registration;
- Version - 180Y
- Crew complement; and
- Edition number (EDNO).
Provisional load sheet key data check
Straight after version confirmation, verbally confirm the following;
- TAKEOFF FUEL (Note: This is RAMP FUEL minus
TAXI FUEL); - TAKEOFF WEIGHT - MAX [either RTOW (if any),
otherwise MLW + trip fuel]; - TRIP FUEL;
- PANTRY CODE:
QF: Qantas Full Catering
QDO: Qantas Drinks Only Catering
QE: Qantas Empty (Nil) Catering
Z: Nil carts - SERVICE WEIGHT ADJUSTMENT ADD and
DEDUCTIONS:
ADD: Items added to the aircraft weight such as
service dogs, extra catering. - DEDUCTIONS: Items removed from the aircraft
weight such as a catering unit. - Any MEL/CDL affecting the aircraft’s loading is
reflected on the Provisional.
NOTOC check (follows on from load sheet key data check)
- Departure port;
- Flight number and date;
- Aircraft registration;
- Any Dangerous Goods, or if none, a statement
identifying nil Dangerous Goods, e.g. ‘NO
DANGEROUS GOODS UPLIFTED EX_ _ _’; - Any Other Special Load, or if none, a statement
identifying nil Spacial Load, e.g. ‘NO SPECIAL
LOAD UPLIFTED EX _ _ _’.
LOAD SHEET ACCEPTANCE
- Flight number, date, and aircraft registration;
- Significant changes from the Provisional,
(e.g. 500 kg due pax failed to board); and - TAKEOFF FUEL (TOF) - Load Sheet vs Calculated
is within +/- 400 kg.
Note:
Calculate TOF = Total fuel on board to engine start - 120 kg Taxi Fuel.
The TO CG and THS on the Final Load Sheet assume that TOF is on board at commencement of the takeoff roll.
To ensure TOW CG and THS are valid, Calculated TOF must fall within +/- 400 kg of the TOF on the Final.
Airways clearance PDC delay
If the PDC is not received within 15 minutes prior to ETD, Flight Crew members must verbally request an airways clearance.
FMGC database change over
Flight Crew shall activate the new database:
After 1600 hours UTC the day prior to the new Effective Date Range for flights departing from an Australian port.
WST = UTC + 8 1600 = 0000
Supernumerary briefing
Seat belts;
Emergency exits;
Life jackets (individual flotation devices), if required;
Oxygen masks;
Emergency equipment for collective use; and
Sterile flight deck procedures.
Wing light usage
WING LIGHTS
Wing inspection lights are to be used in unison with the landing lights at all times.
Transition call
PM - “Transition”
PF - “Set Standard/Set QNH….(numerals)”
PM - “Standard/QNH… (numerals) crosschecked,
passing FL (ft) now”
PF - “Checked”
FCU Alt calls with a constraint
When the selected level is constrained the Flight Crew member calls both the constraint “ _ _ Alt/FL magenta” and the cleared FCU ALT window setting “ _ _ Alt/FL set”.
eg: “5150 magenta, 5000 set”. The other Flight Crew member confirms the setting by crosschecking the selection and calls “5150 magenta checked, 5000 checked”.
No Smoking and seat belt sign policy
The ‘NO SMOKING’ signs shall remain illuminated during flight.
The ‘SEAT BELT’ sign shall be illuminated:
- For taxiing, takeoff and initial climb;
- When turbulence is anticipated or experienced;
- During abnormal manoeuvres or procedures;
- Prior to commencing approach until parked at the
completion of the flight;
- At other times at the discretion of the PIC.
RVSM Equipment
- Two primary altitude measurement
systems;
- One automatic altitude control system;
- One altitude alerting device; and
- One operating transponder.Center tank pump low pressure
If <200 kg in the centre tank, on ground or in flight, these LO PR warnings may be considered spurious. At these times the centre tank pumps should be selected OFF, and the mode selected to MAN. Consider turning pumps back ON / AUTO once established in stable flight in cruise. If unsuccessful, turn the pumps OFF / MAN again and treat remaining fuel in the centre tank as unuseable.
** This is considered a reset and written up as such**
Centre fuel tank filling
When refuelling to a level that will require fuel to be added to the centre tank, it is recommended that the centre tank pumps are selected off during refuelling.
This is to prevent the possibility of the centre tank pumps running in low pressure, hence preventing the FUELCTRTK PUMP 1 (2) LOPR or CTRTK PUMPSLOPR warnings appearing during refuel. Fuel will be added to the centre tank above approximately 12.1 tons. If the final fuel figure is near this quantity, these warnings may occur once the fuel pumps are switched on again.
When do you check that the cabin doors are armed?
The Flight Crew will verify arming of all doors as part of the Before Start checklist below the line.
Should a door fail to arm successfully, the Cabin Supervisor will advise the PIC.
In the case of a ferry flight the PIC will determine which doors shall be armed.
Push back calls
“Cockpit to ground confirm all ground checks complete”
“Cockpit to Ground, [cleared to pushback], ready to start”
[“Brakes Released”]
“Starting 2”
“Starting 1”
[“Brakes Set”]
“Clear to disconnect”
Call from cabin for secure for takeoff
“cabin is secure for takeoff”
The PM can complete the TO CONFIG test as a reminder of receipt and, when ready, the Before Takeoff Checklist to the line may be conducted.
Note:
The TO CONFIG test may fail if the oil temperature is too low (ENG 1 (2) OIL LO TEMP caution). In this case the TO CONFIG test must be repeated when the oil temperature is at, or above, 50 °C.
Minimum altitude for turn if not following 2 engine departure procedure or SID.
Where Point 1 is not applicable, maintain runway track to at least 1,000 ft above the airport before turning to intercept departure track.
When can the seatbelt sign be switched off on departure?
The seat belt sign will be turned off when the PIC deems it safe to do so during the climb, taking in to account the pitch angle, turbulence and weather.
When the seat belt sign is switched off during the climb, the Cabin Crew may unfasten their seat belts and start the cabin service.
Pre-departure altitude setting (CTA)
During pre-flight checks or prior to receiving an initial ATC clearance:
If the anticipated SID is inserted in the FMGC, the anticipated altitude / level may be set;
In the absence of a SID inserted in the FMGC, the Altitude Alerting System shall be set to circuit altitude.
Pre-departure altitude setting OCTA
Prior to departure, set the FCU ALT to an appropriate altitude at or below the lower level of controlled airspace (Class A or Class E) or the applicable LSALT, whichever is the higher until in receipt of an airways clearance.
Approach slope guidance
CHARTER, AIRWORK AND PRIVATE OPERATIONS
No requirement
ROPS/ROW inhibit NOTAM displaced threshold
In these scenarios, Flight Crew shall inhibit ROW / ROPS when less than 15 NM from the airport by selecting the TERR pb on the GPWS panel to OFF. This action also inhibits the Enhanced GPWS functions.
APU warm up
After landing the APU should be started three minutes prior to parking if APU bleed is required, or one minute prior to parking if APU bleed is not required, then the After Landing checklist is completed below the line.
Hot weather operations (slats)
During transit keep the slats in CONFIG 1 when the OAT is above 30 °C.
Door disarming
Before ordering disarming of the doors, the PIC shall ensure that aircraft steps or an aerobridge is available for disembarkation.
The PM shall make the following announcement via the PA:
“Cabin Crew disarm doors and cross check”
Aircraft parking (high winds)
When high winds (winds above 40 kts) exist or are anticipated and the aircraft is to be parked for a significant period of time, aircraft must be parked into wind and both outboard main gears chocked front and back. All pins and covers should be in place.
The PIC shall advise Engineering of aircraft vulnerability and, if possible, arrange for a responsible person to guard aircraft during periods of maximum wind velocity.
If for any reason, an aircraft is left standing on the movement area or left standing on another area so as to constitute a hazard, the PIC shall report the situation to ATC.
Park brake release for hot brakes
Dispatcher - “Ground to Cockpit, chocks are in”
PF - “Brakes to be released for cooling, confirm chocks secure”
If the park brake needs to be released on arrival due to high brake temperatures, this must be coordinated with the leading hand in order to ensure any subsequent aircraft movement has no adverse effect on ground equipment and / or personnel.
Hi nose during disembarking procedure
The Flight Crew will assess the situation and co-ordinate either:
- Rear positioned passengers moving forward;
- Accelerated unloading of the aft cargo
compartments;
- Continued disembarkation with a caution to ‘mind
the step’ only if the step is < 225 mm.
Flight crew leaving the aircraft actions
- Rubbish – remove all rubbish from the flight
deck; - Library – to be replaced in correct locations;
- Leave a note explaining any data that they feel
would benefit the next crew. - Dim EFIS, ECAM and MCDU display units – as per
FCOM; - Delete any FMGC stored waypoints
- Pull the window shades down if a warm / hot day;
- Turn off any superfluous lights to reduce heat build
up.
Control surface restraint
Inspection required?
If an aircraft is parked, taxied or towed in winds exceeding 35 kts and the controls have not been appropriately restrained, the PIC or an appropriately Licensed Maintenance Engineer shall, before flight, inspect the control system and control surfaces for damage.
