Differences (from Jetstar) FCOM NETWORK SOP

Question 1

RECEIPT OF FINAL LOAD SHEET by Cabin Supervisor

Answer 1

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”.

Question 2

How long before ETD must a airways clearance be requested if no PDC is received?

Answer 2

If the PDC is not received within 15 minutes prior to ETD, Flight Crew members must verbally request an airways clearance.

Question 3

Provisional load sheet EFF+ version confirmation

Answer 3

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).

Question 4

Provisional load sheet key data check

Answer 4

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.

Question 5

NOTOC check (follows on from load sheet key data check)

Answer 5

• 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 _ _ _’.

Question 6

LOAD SHEET ACCEPTANCE

Answer 6

• 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.

Question 7

Airways clearance PDC delay

Answer 7

If the PDC is not received within 15 minutes prior to ETD, Flight Crew members must verbally request an airways clearance.

Question 8

FMGC database change over

Answer 8

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

Question 9

Supernumerary briefing

Answer 9

Seat belts;
Emergency exits;
Life jackets (individual flotation devices), if required;
Oxygen masks;
Emergency equipment for collective use; and
Sterile flight deck procedures.

Question 10

Wing light usage

Answer 10

WING LIGHTS

Wing inspection lights are to be used in unison with the landing lights at all times.

Question 11

Transition call

Answer 11

PM - “Transition”
PF - “Set Standard/Set QNH….(numerals)”
PM - “Standard/QNH… (numerals) crosschecked,
passing FL (ft) now”
PF - “Checked”

Question 12

FCU Alt calls with a constraint

Answer 12

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”.

Question 13

No Smoking and seat belt sign policy

Answer 13

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.

Question 14

RVSM Equipment

Answer 14

- Two primary altitude measurement 
    systems;
- One automatic altitude control system;
- One altitude alerting device; and
- One operating transponder.

Question 15

Center tank pump low pressure

Answer 15

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**

Question 16

Centre fuel tank filling

Answer 16

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.

Question 17

When do you check that the cabin doors are armed?

Answer 17

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.

Question 18

Push back calls

Answer 18

“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”

Question 19

Call from cabin for secure for takeoff

Answer 19

“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.

Question 20

Minimum altitude for turn if not following 2 engine departure procedure or SID.

Answer 20

Where Point 1 is not applicable, maintain runway track to at least 1,000 ft above the airport before turning to intercept departure track.

Question 21

When can the seatbelt sign be switched off on departure?

Answer 21

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.

Question 22

Pre-departure altitude setting (CTA)

Answer 22

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.

Question 23

Pre-departure altitude setting OCTA

Answer 23

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.

Question 24

Approach slope guidance

CHARTER, AIRWORK AND PRIVATE OPERATIONS

Answer 24

No requirement

Question 25

ROPS/ROW inhibit NOTAM displaced threshold

Answer 25

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.

Question 26

APU warm up

Answer 26

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.

Question 27

Hot weather operations (slats)

Answer 27

During transit keep the slats in CONFIG 1 when the OAT is above 30 °C.

Question 28

Door disarming

Answer 28

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”

Question 29

Aircraft parking (high winds)

Answer 29

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.

Question 30

Park brake release for hot brakes

Answer 30

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.

Question 31

Hi nose during disembarking procedure

Answer 31

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.

Question 32

Flight crew leaving the aircraft actions

Answer 32

• 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.

Question 33

Control surface restraint

Inspection required?

Answer 33

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.
