Requested by ATC to ensure separation requirements Pilot determine visual app is more efficient than the complete instrument approach procedure
107
Approach Ban Point - ABP Which Altitude? When can we start the App?
Which Altitud? Outer Marker If No Outer Marker or equivalent position -> 1.000’ For circling approaches -> IAF CAT II and CAT III -> Lido CCI, Low Visibility Operations section. Can we start the App? The Commander may commence an approach regardless of the reported visibility/RVR, At Aproach Ban Point If RVR/ visibility < than the applicable landing minima -> GA If RVR is not available -> Visibility can be converted to RVR values After PassingI outer marker or equivalent position, the RVR/ visibility falls below the applicable minimum -> Continue to DA/H or MDA/H.

Touchdown distance Aiming Point
Touchdown If the touchdown cannot be within the runway touchdown zone, a go-around should be considered. Touchdown zone -> Starts at 150 meters and ends 900 meters Aiming Point -> between 300 - 400 meters 8.3
110
Missed Approach - How many can we do?
Once the decision has been announced, it is irrevocable A go-around shall be initiated -> If, during the approach, it becomes apparent that the approach and landing cannot be completed as briefed. A 2 approach shall only be conducted if the Commander assesses that there is a high likelihood of a successful approach and landing. If the 2 approach was unsuccessful and both missed approaches were due to weather conditions -> the Commander shall divert to the alternate aerodrome unless already committed to destination and unable to divert. A 3 approach may only be flown when one or both missed approaches was non weather related and the Commander assess that there is a high likelihood of a successful approach and landing. The Commander shall carefully evaluate the weather reports or forecasts before committing to the destination aerodrome
111
Post Flight Review
Commander should conduct a post flight review It is an open conversation Deviations from original briefed plans or strategies, Strategies which might have enhanced the overall team performance, Technical status of the aeroplane and Aircraft Technical Log implications 8.3.20

If below 455 Tones + V/S less than 360’/min + main gear touchdown symmetrical. -> An Overweight landing Load Analysis may be deferred for up to 5 flight cycles Only the Commander shall determine if a landing shall be classified as a hard landing. An overweight landing shall be documented in the Aircraft Technical Log: - Landing weight - V/S - If main gear touchdown was symmetrical. There is a (EK) SUPPLEMENTARY PROCEDURE [SUP] (EK) Download of SAR Data Following Overweight/Hard Landing

RED Warning at the Gate
1. PA: “This is the Captain, Purser to the Flight Deck” 2. Notify ATC and Ramp Agent; 3. Maintain electrical power + Shut down engines 4. Brief the Purser on the nature of the threat, the expected manner of passenger disembarkation (Normally all hand baggage should be removed from the aircraft) Capt PA: “This is the Captain, Ladies and Gentlemen, we have been advised of a security threat to one of our aircraft. This will mean that this aircraft must be searched. You will have to disembark and take all personal belongings with you. Please follow the instructions of the Cabin Crew.” 10
127
Red Warming during Taxi
1. Make a PA: “This is the Captain, Purser to the Flight Deck”; 2. Notify ATC +Ramp Agent Follow FCOM/QRH procedures – Precautionary Disembarkation 3. Plan to use mobile steps for a Precautionary Disembarkation if available within a reasonable time. 4. If mobile steps are not available, plan a Precautionary Disembarkation using slides 5. Notify ATC of intentions and request that vehicles be kept clear of doors/slides 6. Brief the Purser on the nature of the threat, the expected manner of passenger disembarkation 10 7. Inform handling agent; Maintain electrical power if possible; 8. Shut down the engines; 9. Make PA: “This is the Captain. Ladies and Gentlemen, we have received a message that a threat has been made against one of our aircraft. Airlines receive many such threats. However, we intend to take all possible precautions, therefore you will have to disembark. Please follow the instruction of the Cabin Crew.” 10. Keep the Purser and Cabin Crew advised of any changes of plan using interphone or PA.

Suspicious Article Discovered In Flight
Applied HOT Contact VPNC If DSVP-GS/Group Security analyses the threat classification as specific or real 1. Follow ECAM “BOMB on BOARD” Procedures 2. Keep ATC fully briefed on flight intentions 3. Brief Cabin Crew to be prepared for a possible emergency landing; 4. Prepare for possible use of crew oxygen/smoke masks 5.Consider carefully the choice between flying fast to minimise the airborne time and flying slowly to minimise air-loads and damage in the event of a fuselage rupture. In most cases, the turbulent air penetration speed will be a reasonable compromise 6. Request remote parking and confirm the immediate availability of passenger coaches and steps. 7. Advise and impress upon the aerodrome the need to have passengers removed from the aircraft and safely located at least 200 m upwind of the aircraft as quickly as possible; 8. If time permits make the following PA; “This is the Captain, Ladies and Gentlemen, if there is anyone on board with BD or EOD experience, please make themselves known to the crew”. 9. Follow directive given either directly by Group Security or through VPNC

ASR - What to report?
- All events/items that are BOLD italics* shall be reported. - The reporter may report all other events if they consider there may be a safety benefit to doing so. Note 1: If the first column in a table is listed as reportable in BOLD italics* all sub items on the same row must be reported. Note 2: If the item is ‘Annex 13 relevant’ Captain need: - Immediately reported to VPNC - Entry in the Technical Log ‘Remove Flight Data Recorder and/or Cockpit Voice Recorder for investigation’ Flight Crew can also use the Air Safety Report to report safety events or hazards which occurred during simulator sessions. This is achieved by selection of an appropriate location, and by selection “Simulator”
