• Safe – Safety is our #1 priority as pilots at United. We protect customers, fellow co-workers, and ourselves from harm and injury.
• Caring – United appreciates all our customers and fellow co-workers by being
welcoming, kind, and compassionate. Pilots who demonstrate these traits have a greater influence over the total customer experience.
• Dependable – United builds trust by being reliable and delivering quality
performance. As pilots, we meet the expectations of our customers by departing/arriving on time and adhering to SOP.

operations in an organized and effective manner. SOP compliance ensures
efficient operations.

FOM 3.20.3
CUS WORDS
Concerned, Uncomfortable, and Safe (CUS) are words intended to give
crewmembers a CRM strategy to progressively heighten awareness if they determine
their concerns are not being conveyed effectively. Using the phrases “I’m concerned
about…,” followed by “I’m uncomfortable with…,” and finally “I think this is not safe”
VVM
VERBALIZE, VERIFY, AND MONITOR (VVM)
VVM is an effective TEM strategy to counter threats and errors encountered during flight operations. Crewmembers who verbalize plans and ideas, verify them with others, and monitor for the expected result are better threat and error managers, enhancing safe operations.
After any FMS or MCP/FCU change, both pilots should verify the
change(s) and monitor the_____ and aircraft flight path for expected results

When do we need a T/O alternate?
Distance?
If the departure airport weather is below landing minimums. T/O alt. must be within 400 nm from departure airport
When do we need a DESTINATION ALTERNATE?
Domestic?
Flag Ops?
🇺🇸 DOMESTIC
1-2-3 RULE ALT
• ± 1 hour of ETA is < 2000 ft or 3 sm
🟦 INTERNACIONAL ALT always REQUIRED except: ▪️SIX HOUR RULE Flt. <=6 hrs AND the greater of 1-2-3 or (1500+DH/MDA & 2+VIS MIN) ▪️DEST. Approved w/ NO ALT 2 HR FUEL RSV
🎖CHARTER/SUPPLEMENTAL OPS
Destination is not R,RF,P then must list an ALT
DOMESTIC ALT EXEMPTIONS?

⚫️ 1-1-3 RULE
Same as above except:
▪️3 miles vis.
▪️CAT I
⚫️DUAL ALT (3585)
Weather at DEST and 1st ALT
are MARGINAL, then need to list 2nd ALT
Is the ALT Legal?
• Must be an R, A, F, or P airport.
• APCH MIN being used cannot be NA in the FILING AS ALT box on the -9A page.
Wx criteria:
Note: For circling approaches, use charted minimums, but never less than 1000-foot ceiling and 3-sm visibility.
• Single Approach Facility providing a straight-in or circling approach procedure:
– Add 400 ft to the charted MDA(H) or DA(H).
– Add 1 sm/1600 m to the charted visibility.
• Multiple Approach Facility, each providing a straight-in approach to different
suitable runway numbers, deriving the lowest combination of visibility and ceiling:
– Add 200 ft to higher charted MDA(H) or DA(H) for the two approaches.
– Add ½ sm/800 m to the higher charted visibility specified for the two approaches.
Takeoff Minimums?
⚫️ Use Jepp -9A minimums or SID minimums if higher. If “standard or lower” then use minimums per -9A for specific runway but no lower than: ▪️STD 1mile - RVR 5000 ▪️ADEQUATE VIS REF. 1/4 sm or 1600 RVR ▪️2 RVR+CL or RCLM&HIRL TDZ & Rollout RVR 1000 ▪️2 RVR + CL + HIRL TDZ & Rollout RVR 500
First Officer Takeoff and Landing Limits
- T/O TDZ and rollout ≥ RVR 1000 ft (300m)

HM Captain Approach Minimums (see 14.10)
• HM < 100 hrs as UA CAPT in type: ⚫️ CAT II to MINs (if available) ⚫️ CAT I ILS to MINs if: ➡️Autopilot is used to DA, & ➡️If braking action < good: ▪️Visibility ¾ mile or 4000 ft RVR (1200m) ▪️X-wind ≤ 15 kts – Otherwise, increase CAT I MINs: ▪️Add 100 ft to DA/MDA ▪️Add ½ mile (800m) to vis ▪️No lower than 300 ft & 1 mile • C3=CAT III
