Regulations/SOP/FOM Flashcards
MINIMUM FUEL AND EMERGENCY FUEL
Min Fuel - any change to the current clearance of flying to that airport may cause the usable fuel onboard at landing less than the planned final reserve fuel
Final Reserve Fuel: Fuel remaining is enough for 30 mins at 450m at holding speed after arriving at destination
Emergency Fuel - fuel remaining onboard required to fly to a nearest suitable airport where a safe landing can be made is estimated to be less that the planned final reserve fuel
OVERWEIGHT LANDING CONDITIONS
Uncontrollable Fire/Smoke
Severe Airframe damage
Damage to nav or com that affects appr and landing
Bomb or threat to safety
Emergency medical event to passenger or crew
Procedure requiring Land “ASAP”
Immediate landing required by ATC
Immediate landing for safety threat or other emergency situation
50% loss of thrust

Cabin Depressurization Callouts
Before emergency descent: “ATTENTION CREW, EMERGENCY DESCENT”. (Give 10s to prepare cabin)
After reaching safe Altitude: “ATTENTION CABIN CREW, SAFE ALTITUDE”
Crew Incapacitation callout
Incapacitation detected: “ATTENTION XXX, XXX INCAPACITATED, PLEASE COME TO COCKPIT”
Forced Landing (ditching callouts)
At 2000’: “BRACE FOR IMPACT”
At 500’: “IMPACT”
Rejected Takeoff (or after forced landing/ditching) callouts
Aircraft comes to a complete stop: “CABIN CREW ALL AT STATIONS”

- Runway centerline lights (RCLL) with intervals of no more than 15 meters
- Runway End Lights for night operations
When is an engine considered secure?
‐ “ENG MASTER OFF” for an engine failure without damage
‐ “AGENT 1 DISCH” for an engine failure with damage
‐ Fire extinguished or “AGENT 2 DISCH” for an engine fire
What is contingency fuel?
10% of required trip fuel, but in no case less than fuel required to fly for 15 minutes at holding speed under standard conditions at a height of 450 meters (1500 feet) above the destination airport
What’s included in Alternate Fuel?
Enough fuel to:
1) Perform a missed approach at the destination airport
2) Climb to the planned cruise altitude
3) Fly along the planned route
4) Descend to expected IAP
5) Approach and land at the farthest destination alternate airport
What is Final Reserve Fuel?
fly for 30 minutes at holding speed above the airport under standard conditions at a height of 450 meters (1500 feet)
Evacuation times
- 90 secs on land
- 13 minutes over water
