Six principal concepts
Task sharing - PF/PM areas of responsibility
Crew coordination - checklist/confirmed actions
Crew Communication - stand response, call outs, briefings
Monitor and cross check - FMa annunciation a, scan, instrument monitor
Workload management - use of autopilot
Discipline - adherence to SOPs
BASIC policy
Captain and dispatcher shall secure safety of operation, maximum efficiency, maintain schedule and maximise passenger comfort.
The captain and dispatcher shall follow this policy
Disagreement between captain and dispatcher the safer option is adopted
Captain will have final responsibility
Flight dispatcher shall support the captain
Flight shall not be undertaken if crew members are unfit for duty.
4 principal concepts
Fly first
Secured and reliable operation
Effective and efficient operation
Promote standardised and uniform operation
What can indicate wind shear

PWS
Two types of wind shear and when are they reported
Wind shear

Microburst
Tailwind exceeding 30 kts
Alerts provided on initial contact and when detected
LIDAR and Doppler radar
LIDAR (only at HND and NRT)
Able to detect wind shear with precipitation
Doppler
Can perceive air current and microburst activity around the airport but requires precipitation

ACARS fuel imbalance warning
Difference is at or above 1000 lbs for 25 seconds
Above 5000 ft
Precaution system is inhited for 45 minutes after imbalance is detected and can only provide two per flight
Difference between
Windshear windshear
Windshear ahead
Go around Windshear ahead
Windshear
Egpws requires escape maneuver
Windshear ahead / go around windshear ahead
PWS warning
Takeoff - caution
Go around unless no danger is judged
