SOP Flashcards
Airspace requirements
Cruise in class E only considered when class A/C deemed operationally unsuitable.
Transit through class E on climb/descent acceptable provided it is briefed.
Descent and approach only in class G when no alternatives are available.
Airspace deactivation
Preflight - requires approval from chief pilot
InFlight - may continue through if unable to divert to another route in CTA.
Headset usage
Must be used except for before engine start and in cruise.
Boarding times
30mins for FFO or turnarounds greater than 40mins.
22 mins on 30 min turns or upon a crew change.
OTP policy
Up to CI 40 may be used if more than 15mins late and this will allow the flight to return within 15mins of schedule of the duty.
ATC must be advised if TAS varies by 10kts or greater.
Departures earlier than -5 require JOCC approval.
CBOT compliance window
-5 mins to +15
Thunderstorm avoidance
Takeoff and approach/landing - 5nm
En-route - 20nm and 5000’ vertically
Max infants
12
Altimeter setting tolerances
20’ between PFDs
100’ between ISIS and PFDs
Airfield elevation within 60’. One altimeter may be up to 75’ for one sector
IRS limits
Lowest limits:
5nm requires a check on the next flight
7nm considered inoperative
Optimum flight level
Most economic level for a given cost index, weight and weather/wind data
Recommended max altitude
0.3G buffet margin
Level flight at max cruise rating
V/S of 300fpm at max climb thrust
Can fly above green dot and below VMO/MMO
Max certification altitude
Cruise altitude limited to not displayed 0.2g buffet altitude
CTAF calls
Immediately before or during taxiing
Immediately before entering a runway
By 10nm’s position/intentions, ETA (Jetstar specify 30nm)
Joining Circuit
3nm Straight-In Approach (Jetstar specify 5nm)
FAF or Established Inbound on an Instrument Approach,
Commencing Missed Approach
Clear of the active runway(s
Operations with Loss of Nosewheel Steering
If Tug available in a reasonable time - Bring the aircraft to a complete stop and get the aircraft towed to an appropriate location.
If No Tug available - If it is safe to attempt taxiing, limit speed to no greater than 10kts ground speed
Golden Rules
Fly, navigate, communicate
Use appropriate level of automation at all times
Understand the FMA at all times
Take action if things don’t go as expected
Max rate of climb
Between ECON climb speed and green dot (roughly turb penetration speed)
Max angle of climb
Green dot
Raise model
