2.1.1

OPERATING POLICY
General
It is Company policy to operate the ATR-72 aircraft in accordance with the
applicable ATR Flight Crew Operating Manuals and Quick Reference Handbook.
The standard operating procedures outlined in this section are to be applied in
conjunction with the procedures detailed in the ATR Flight Crew Operating
Manuals.
The following sets out the abbreviations used in this manual for the assignment of
flight crew duties:
(a)

CM 1 - Refers to the flight crew member in the left hand seat;

(b)

CM 2 - Refers to the flight crew member in the right hand seat;

(c)

PF Refers to the pilot flying; and

(d)

PNF Refers to the pilot not flying.

At the end of this Section there is a Standard Operating Procedures Appendix that
provides a summary of standard operating procedures for the ATR-72.
To improve the service life on duplicated systems, system 1 should be used when
operating on odd number days and system 2 when operating on even number days.
2.1.2
2.1.2.1

Crew Coordination Concept (CCC)


General
Standard operating procedures have been established to ensure that flight deck
operations are conducted in a safe and efficient manner. It is essential that flight
deck crew members are fully aware of the procedures outlined in this section and
that they are adhered to in normal and emergency/abnormal operations.
Standard Operating Procedures are designed to be:
(a)

Simple;

(b)

Similar;

(c)

Self-explanatory; and

(d)

Safe

ATR-72 STANDARD
OPERATING PROCEDURES

To apply Standard Operating Procedures in a modern two crew aircraft, a


coordinated effort must be made to fully utilize the available technology and is
called - Crew-Coordination-Concept (CCC)
2.1.2.2

Purpose
The purpose of the Crew Coordination Concept (CCC) is to ensure the full
leadership/responsibility of the Pilot-in-Command (PIC) regardless of whether
he/she is the PF or the PNF.
Tasks between PF and PNF must be shared such that the PF is able to pay full
attention to flight manipulation and that both pilots work as a team to provide
mutual supervision, information and assistance.

2.1.2.3

Subdivision of CCC
CCC is generally subdivided into the following:
(a)

Operation of Flight Deck Switches and/or Levers


(i)

If a switch or lever can only to be reached by ONE CM, then this


CM shall only operate it;

(ii)

If a switch or lever is to be reached by both CMs, the CM who is


assigned, as the PNF shall operate such switch or lever;

(iii)

Once a CM is responsible for the operation of a particular switch


or lever he shall continue to be responsible for its operation under
all normal operation conditions. This procedure shall only be
altered if the workload under a specific condition becomes too high
for the actions of the normally scheduled CM;

(iv)

The PIC can at any time give a command to the other CM to


transfer the responsibility for a certain action to that crewmember
for a limited action.

NORMAL PROCEDURES

2.1/P3

OPERATING POLICY

ATR-72 STANDARD
OPERATING PROCEDURES

(b)

Communications
Communication between CMs must be systematic and standardized and is
divided into the following three categories:
(i)

Call-outs
Call-outs are necessary for:

(ii)

The transferring of information;

Acknowledgment of a certain situation; and

Checking for any incapacitation

Announcements
CMs must provide announcements if deviation(s) from normal are
experienced. These announcements serve the purpose of alerting
the CM responsible for the deviation(s) from normal that a
corrective action must be carried out (e.g. a below glide slope
announcement should result in a corrective action to decrease the
rate of descent).
There must be a response to any announcement from the addressed
CM. If there is no response the announcement shall be repeated. If
there is still no response from the addressed CM this CM has to be
considered incapacitated and control shall be taken by the other
CM using the call out I have control.

(iii)

Commands
A command is an order given to change the aircrafts configuration
such as flap setting, power setting and landing gear position. After
a command is received, the addressed CM (the PNF) must
acknowledge the actions required by the command and report the
status of the new configuration. As a final confirmation the CM
giving the command must confirm the new configuration. For
example:
1.

Checklists

2.1.3.1

General
The normal checklist is used to make sure that the aircraft is safely prepared for the
next flight phase. It serves to verify actions already performed and shall be used as
a DO-AND-READ list.
Individual checklists for the particular phase of flight are kept as short as possible
and include all safety and other necessary items. The checklist items generally
follow the panel scan sequence.
Individual checklists should be read in their entirety and should not be interrupted.
If interruption cannot be avoided the complete particular checklist must be re-read
from its beginning.

2.1.3.2

Requesting a Checklist
Prior to requesting a checklist, PF (on ground always CM 1) shall ensure:
(a)

That the other CM is at their station;

(b)

That all required panel scan actions have been completed.

The PF can then request the appropriate checklist by announcing XXXXX


Checklist
2.1.3.3

Reading a Checklist
All checklists are read by PNF (on ground always CM 2).
Reading shall start with the complete checklist title. Only the left side of the print is
to be read. The reader shall verify that the answers comply with the right side of the
print before proceeding.
Upon completion of the checklist the PNF shall announce XXXXX Checklist
completed

2.1.3.4

Responding to a Checklist
For each item one or both CMs are assigned to respond. Assignment depends on
role (PF/PNF) or seat location (CM 1/CM 2) and is printed behind each checklist. If
more than one CM is assigned, the response sequence is PF first followed by the
PNF. The assigned CM shall only respond after having checked the existing
configuration/condition. The other CM shall, whenever feasible, crosscheck the
validity of the response to provide redundancy.

Deviations from Standard


If the actual configuration/condition is inadvertently not in accordance with the
checklist standard, corrective action shall be initiated before proceeding.
If the actual configuration/condition is purposely not in accordance with the
checklist standard (e.g. abnormal operation or MEL procedure) the response must
be modified to reflect the actual situation. Any such deviation(s) from the standard
position must be fully understood by all CMs.

2.1.4

Task Sharing

2.1.4.1

General
Normal procedures describe actions that are necessary for the routine operation of
the aircraft. While the sequence of procedures follows the natural phases of flight
the sequence of actions in a procedure normally follows the standardized scan of
panels or equipment except in the case where out of sequence priority actions are
required.
All actions of a procedure are either required to operate the aircraft safely in the
related phase of flight or to prepare the aircraft for the following phase of flight.
Each action is assigned to a specific crewmember to ensure coordinated operation.
Basic principle during preparation is the Lights Out Concept.
For all procedures the general task sharing stated below is applicable and assumes
that the PF remains as the pilot flying throughout the procedure:
(a)

PF Responsibilities
(i)

PLs

(ii)

Flight path and airspeed control

Principles of Normal Checklist Application


Normal cockpit scan patterns are first performed by memory rather than by direct
reference to the checklist.
There are two versions of the Final Cockpit Preparation checklist:
(a)

Complete Procedure Checklist


This checklist is used for the first flight of the day, after any routine
maintenance, if the aircraft has been left unattended by qualified personnel,
if the previous crew completed the Leaving Aircraft Procedure or if there
is any doubt about the status of the aircraft.

(b)

Transition Procedure Checklist


This checklist follows the same scan pattern as the Complete Procedure but
omits system functionality checks that are not required and is used in
during transit stops or a series of flights.

First Officer Takeoff and Landing


Commanders are approved, at their discretion, to give First Officers
takeoffs and landings with the exception that initial command
Commanders must complete a minimum of 50 hours or 10 landings, which
ever occurs first, before giving First Officers takeoffs or landings.
Prior to giving a First Officer a takeoff or landing the Commander should
assess the existing conditions and the First Officer's experience; both total
and recent. If there are any doubts the Commander must conduct the
takeoff or landing.
During takeoff and landing the Commander must always be in a position
to take over control of the aircraft with feet lightly on the rudder pedals,
one hand adjacent to the control column and the other hand adjacent to the
thrust levers.
In the event of an engine failure after V1, the First Officer should continue
to fly the aircraft until the Commander, at his discretion, takes over
control. Such take over, if required, should not take place before the
landing gear has been selected up.
Any transfer of control should be clearly understood between both pilots
with the Commander (CM1) stating "I have control" or You have control
and the First Officer (CM2) responding with the words "You have control"
or I have control.

flight.

2.5.3

Turns after Takeoff


Turns after takeoff at altitudes below 500 FT (AGL), except for noise
abatement procedures, are to be avoided. An appropriate cockpit PA
announcement should be made advising passengers when such a turn is
necessary.

2.5.4

Departure Terrain Awareness


On all IMC departures, without a published SID, speed should be held at
normal climb speed as published in the Flight Crew Operating Manual,
unless in icing conditions. In icing conditions, the speed shall be red bug
speed for that particular weight, until reaching the Minimum Sector
Altitude (MSA) the Minimum Off-route Altitude (MORA) or the
Minimum En-route Altitude (MEA). Pilots must always assess departure
terrain and at some airports it may be necessary to climb in the circuit area
to set heading over the top at the MSA, MORA or MEA, as applicable.

2.5.5

Autopilot Engagement
The PF must advise the PNF when the autopilot is engaged and the
selected active modes.
Note: Autopilot is not to be engaged below 100 FT (AGL).

General
In preparation for any instrument approach the briefing requirements as set out in
2.6.3 and the Standard Calls, including the Out of Tolerance Calls, as set out in
2.1.5 apply.
Whenever weather conditions are such that an instrument approach is necessary the
autopilot(s) should be engaged to fly the approach.
Operations are permitted to CAT I minima all engines or one engine out, with or
without the autopilot and/or flight director engaged.
First Officers are not permitted to operate as the PF during an instrument approach
where the reported landing minima are below 200 FT and visibility is less than 800
m, or 550 m RVR.
In the event of an engine out go-around following an instrument approach the level
off altitude listed for the takeoff on the particular runway should be used as the
acceleration altitude.

CAT I ILS Procedure


During the briefing for the approach the DH should be set, for reference only, to the
CAT I minimum.
The PF will nominate whether the approach will be conducted as a manual or
autopilot approach.
The aircraft should be configured for the ILS approach in accordance with the
Normal Procedures detailed in the ATR-72 Flight Crew Operating Manual.
The PNF must primarily monitor flight instruments throughout the approach and
provide the appropriate standard calls.
The PF must primarily monitor flight instruments until after the 500 feet to
minimum call. After this call the PF should expand instrument scan to include
outside visual cues.
The PNF should call visual any time visual reference is established above the
minimum.
At the minimum call by the PNF the PF should assess outside conditions and
declare either landing or go-around as the case may be.
The landing call at the minimum by the PF must be based upon the observation of
the approach lights, runway lights, runway or touchdown zone lights and that the
approach can be continued in visual conditions on the normal approach profile to a
safe landing.
After the landing call, by the PF the PNF MUST maintain concentration on the
flight instruments in order to monitor the glideslope and localiser for the remainder
of the approach.
If the PF calls go-around at the minimum, or if visual contact is lost after the
minimum, an immediate go-around in accordance with the Normal Procedures
detailed in the ATR-72 Flight Crew Operating Manual must be conducted.

2.7.5

Turns onto Final Approach


Turns on to final approach are to be made by at least 800 FT AGL (except for a
circling approach when the minimum altitude is 500 FT AGL).

2.7.6

Stabilised Approach Requirements


Any significant deviation from the planned flight path, airspeed, or descent rate
must be announced.
The decision to execute a go-around is no indication of poor performance.
Note:

Do not attempt a landing from an unstable approach.

All approaches must be stabilised by 1,000 FT above airport elevation in IMC and
500 FT above airport elevation in VMC.
An approach is considered stabilised when all of the following criteria are met:
(a)

The aircraft is on the correct flight path;

(b)

Only small changes of heading/pitch are required to maintain the correct


flight path;

(c)

The aircraft speed is not more than Vref + 20 Kt IAS and not less than
Vref;

(d)

The aircraft is in the correct landing configuration;

(e)

Rate of descent is no greater than 1,000 feet per minute (if an approach
requires a rate of descent greater than 1,000 feet per minute a special
briefing should be conducted);

(f)

Power setting is appropriate for the aircraft configuration;

(g)

All briefings and checklists have been completed.

ATR-72 STANDARD
OPERATING PROCEDURES

Specific types of approaches are stabilised if they also meet the following
additional criteria:
(a)

ILS approaches should be flown within one (1) dot of the glideslope and
localizer;

(b)

During a circling approach wings should be level on final when the aircraft
reaches 300 feet above airport elevation.

Note:

An approach that becomes unstabilised below 1,000 FT above airport


elevation in IMC or below 500 feet above airport elevation in VMC
requires an immediate go-around.

The above criteria should be maintained through the rest of the approach for it to be
considered a stabilised approach. If the above criteria cannot be established and
maintained at and below 500 FT above airport elevation an immediate go-around
should be initiated.
At 100 FT above airport elevation for all visual approaches the aircraft should be
positioned so that the flight deck is within, and tracking so as to remain within, the
lateral confines of the runways extended centre-line.
As the aircraft crosses the threshold it should be:
(a)

Stabilised on target airspeed to within 10 Kt until arresting descent rate at


flare;

(b)

On a stabilised flight path using normal manoeuvring;

(c)

Positioned to make a normal landing in the touch down zone.

If the above criteria cannot be maintained a go-around should be initiated.


2.7.7

Mandatory Missed Approach


On all instrument approaches execute an immediate missed approach if any of the
following occurs:
(a)

A navigation radio aid or flight instrument failure occurs that affects the
ability to safely complete the approach in instrument conditions;

(b)

When on ILS final approach in IMC and either the localiser and/or
glideslope indicator shows full deflection;

(c)

When the navigation instruments show significant disagreement and visual


contact with the runway has not been established;

Crosswind Landing
Prior to landing in crosswind conditions consideration must be given to the
following factors:
(a)

Cross wind limitations;


Note:

Any crosswind corrections (e.g. for a wet or slippery runway)


must be applied to the steady state wind speed.

(b)

Runway length;

(c)

Runway width;

(d)

Runway conditions;

(e)

Wind gust factor;

(f)

Expected turbulence on approach;

(g)

Refer ATR-72 Flight Crew Operating Manual, Section 2.04.00, Introduction, for
non-normal procedures.
Pilots must be sufficiently familiar with the QRH to ensure that they can, if
necessary, expeditiously and accurately locate any required non-normal procedure.
Selection of transponder codes for emergency situations (7700) and the making of
emergency radio calls to ATC is a normal crew function and should be actioned by
crew members in appropriate circumstances.
It is Company policy that on all aircraft fire detector warnings are treated as
genuine and the appropriate emergency procedure is completed.
Abnormal or/and emergency procedures describe actions to be taken that are
necessary to deal with a pending or already effective failure of any of the aircraft
systems or its components. These actions are required to protect the occupants
or/and the aircraft from impending or even critical harm.
The main objective of the flight crew must be to:
MAINTAIN POSITIVE CONTROL OF THE AIRCRAFT
The conduct of any emergency procedures or the analysis of any technical problems
should not normally take place until:

3.1.2

(a)

The vertical and lateral flight path is under positive control;

(b)

Possible ground contact is no longer a threat; and

(c)

Altitude is above 400 FT (AGL)

Procedures
The presentation of the emergency procedures assumes a standard cockpit
composition in which CM 1 is PIC and PF, and the CM 2 is PNF.
Under some circumstances a different task distribution may be more appropriate in
applying these procedures. Therefore, it is essential that the PIC assesses the
situation and clearly determines the task distribution for the different phases of
flight.

ATR-72 STANDARD
OPERATING PROCEDURES

Since abnormal and/or emergency operation is non-routine, all actions in abnormal


and/or emergency procedures have to be announced before they are performed.
The actions prescribed in abnormal and/or emergency procedures are classified
according to their mode of application, as follows:
(a)

Memory Actions
Some specific actions during the application of abnormal and/or
emergency procedures must be carried out as soon as the situation permits.
It is not acceptable to refer to any document due to the inherent time delay.
In these cases crewmembers must be able to act by memory. After
completion
of
memory
actions
the
complete
applicable
abnormal/emergency checklist must be completed including the memory
items.

(b)

Monitored Actions
Some abnormal and/or emergency procedures contain non-reversible
actions, which may lead to imminent danger if they are incorrectly
executed. Such actions have to be monitored and shall only be executed
when monitoring is confirmed by the other crewmember. These actions
include:

(c)

(i)

Power lever reduction of a failed engine;

(ii)

Selection of the condition lever to FTR/FUEL SO position;

(iii)

Activation of the fire handle and extinguisher switch.

Read-and-Do Actions
With the exception of the memory items most of the abnormal and/or
emergency actions shall only be executed after being read from the
appropriate documentation. Some of the procedures contain configuration
changes of the aircraft. Therefore, proper crew coordination must be
carried out before executing such action(s).

(d)

Review Actions
For flight phases where the read-and-do concept is not possible to follow,
review actions are presented for the flight crew to read in advance of what
has to be done, thus enabling the flight crews to memorize these items
when they are needed.

Notification and Verification of Condition


Any crewmember detecting an abnormal and/or emergency shall immediately
inform the other crewmember.

3.1.4

(a)

Aural warnings shall be silenced by pressing Warning/Caution light;

(b)

The affected system shall be recognized on the CAP;

(c)

The systems local fault shall be identified on the overhead panel;

(d)

The PF must call for the appropriate checklist which must be confirmed by
the PNF as the checklist applicable for the particular abnormal/emergency
situation.

(e)

The PIC will designate the PF.

Initiation of Procedure
After the PF is ready he shall initiate application by using the wording Start
Procedure.

3.1.5

(a)

Memory actions are then performed by the PNF on commands from the
PF;

(b)

Upon completion of the memory items the PF will call for the complete
checklist on a Read-And-Do basis including previously completed memory
items.

Reading of Checklist
Abnormal and/ or emergency procedures are read by PNF starting with the
procedure title and shall be read once the PF is ready to follow the execution of the
procedures.
Memory actions must be read and confirmed.
Except for memory items and irreversible actions (e.g. engine shut down) the
required action must be read first, then executed and reported to PF, who shall cross
check whenever feasible.
Any abnormal or emergency has to be continued to its end and upon reaching the
end of the checklist the PNF must announce that the applicable checklist is
COMPLETED.

ATR-72 STANDARD
OPERATING PROCEDURES

Note:

3.1.6

There may be special situations in which it is of benefit to stop an


abnormal and/or emergency procedure. The decision to do so rests solely
with the PIC and such decision should be based upon sound analysis of the
situation.

CAUTION 1:

The main goal is to maintain positive aircraft control. All action


shall be done as soon as possible but never in a hurry. Strict
adherence to the checklists is mandatory.

CAUTION 2:

According to CCARs regulations and Company policy the


Cockpit Voice Recorder (CVR) circuit breaker should be pulled
after landing on any flight where a significant
abnormal/emergency situation has occurred.

Acceleration Height
A standard acceleration height (AGL) of 800 FT should be used or such height as
published in the pre-computed takeoff charts whichever is the higher, in the event
of an engine failure on takeoff.

3.1.7

Engine Shutdown Procedure


Refer ATR 72 Abnormal/Emergency Procedures Appendix at the end of this
Section.

3.1.8

Flight with an Engine Inoperative


Following an engine shutdown in flight it is the commander's responsibility to
decide whether:
(a)

The flight should be continued to destination;

(b)

The flight should return to the departure airport; or

(c)

A landing should be made at the nearest suitable airport.

Factors that need to be considered for flight with an inoperative engine include the
following:
(a)

Nature of the malfunction which preceded the engine shutdown and any
further mechanical difficulties which may arise from the shutdown;

(b)

Availability of the inoperative engine for use;

(c)

Altitude, aircraft weight and useable fuel at the time of engine shutdown;

Deleted:

3.1/P5

(d)

Distance to be flown;

(e)

Relative characteristics of suitable airports available for landing;

(f)

Weather conditions en route and at suitable airports available for landing;

(g)

Air traffic congestion;

(h)

Type of terrain; and

(i)

Familiarity of pilot with airport to be used.

It is expected that the commander will, at all times, operate the aircraft with full
regard to safety. No undue emphasis should be placed on the continuation of a
flight to the destination unless the commander is satisfied that this is a desirable and
safe course of action.
Following an engine shutdown a two engine aircraft should normally proceed to the
nearest suitable airport, although there is no objection to the aircraft proceeding to
the destination provided the increased flying time is not significant.
When runway approach slope guidance is not available the aircraft should carry out
a normal circuit unless circumstances or terrain make this unadvisable.
3.1.9

Emergency Airports
Pilots must maintain an adequate knowledge of airports, suitable for an emergency
landing, which are on, or adjacent to, the aircraft's flight path.
The appropriateness of a particular airport is related to the urgency of the situation.
However, in general, an airport should be considered suitable, depending upon the
nature of the emergency, even if it does not meet normal operational standards and
if it can reasonably assumed that a safe landing can be made.

3.1.10
3.1.10.1

Depressurisation
General
In the event of a depressurisation the requirement for the donning of oxygen masks
is immediate. The following table of Times of Useful Consciousness are

seconds.
3.1.10.2

Emergency Descent Procedures


If an emergency descent is required the procedures as detailed in the Flight Crew
Operating Manual should be followed. Following completion of the applicable nonnormal procedure(s), the First Officer should select transponder code 7700 and
advise ATC through the use of a PAN call.
The commander should make the following PA announcement:
COCKPIT SPEAKING, CABIN CREW SEATED AND FASTENED
Flight deck crews must be aware of the height of the terrain in the vicinity of the
descent and must limit the descent to the MSA (or grid MORA) for the sector or
10,000 FT whichever is the higher.
During the descent, the First Officer should call each 5,000 FT, 2,000 FT and 1,000
FT prior to the nominated level off altitude.
When the aircraft attains the required level off altitude, the commander should
make a PA announcement indicating that the use of oxygen masks (if used by the
passengers) is no longer required and/or explain the reason for the emergency
descent. Based upon this PA announcement the purser shall enter the flight deck to
report on the condition of passengers and cabin crew.

(a)

The state of any structural damage (if required);

(b)

Distance to and weather conditions at suitable diversion airport(s);

(c)

Any intervening terrain between the aircrafts position and suitable


diversion airport(s); and

(d)

Diversion fuel requirements.

Cabin Fire Procedures


In the case of a fire in the cabin, a cabin crew member will contact the flight deck
either personally or via the interphone providing the following information:
(a)

What is actually on fire and its location;

(b)

If the fire is in the galley area, request that galley power be removed;

(c)

The amount and the colour of the smoke and the effect it is having on the
passengers; and

(d)

The ferocity of the fire and whether it can be contained.

The purser should keep the commander updated as to the progress in containing the
fire and if at any time the situation appears out of control an immediate face to face
report will be made.
In this case a landing at the nearest adequate airport should be considered.
3.1.12

Interception Procedures
ICAO standard procedures are to be followed in the event of in-flight interception.
These procedures, including the State variations are detailed in the Jeppesen
Airway Manual together with an appropriate NOTAM for any variations from
standard procedures.
In the event of an in-flight interception proceed as follows;
(a)

Do not perform any manoeuvre that may be construed as hostile. Maintain


straight and level flight;

COMPUTER TAKEOFF CHARTS


General
The Company produces computer generated runway takeoff and landing charts for
the ATR-72 aircraft.
Airport analyses facilitate the determination of the maximum allowable takeoff for
specific airport conditions and aircraft configurations with the failure of the most
critical engine. The limitations observed are those specified in the approved
Airplane Flight Manual (AFM).
The maximum allowable takeoff weight is determined by the most limiting of the
following:

4.1.2

(a)

Maximum Certified Takeoff Weight: The structural limit weight;

(b)

Climb Limit Weight: The maximum weight at which the required


minimum climb gradients are available in the second and final segment
based on the airport elevation and temperature;

(c)

Runway Limit Weight: The maximum weight at which the aircraft


complies with the certification requirements under the rules governing
required runway length. The runway limited weight is a function of runway
length, slope, airport elevation, temperature and wind;

(d)

Obstacle Limited Weight: The maximum weight at which obstacle


clearance required by ICAO can be demonstrated. The obstacle limited
weight is a function of obstacle height and distance, temperature, airport
elevation, runway slope and wind. Unless otherwise specified on the
airport analysis, a straight flight out path along the extended runway center
line is assumed;

Departure Control System (D.C.S)


Aside from the Company standard format DCS generated load and balance sheet
there are also a number of different formats of Departure Control Systems in use by
ground handling companies. These systems are self evident in the presentation of
the weight and balance data necessary for the calculation of takeoff performance.

6.1.3

Load Sheet and Balance Chart


The ATR-72 aircraft utilises a combined Load Sheet and Balance Chart that is
compiled as follows:
(a)

Enter the DOW (Dry Operating Weight) in the DOW field, make any
appropriate adjustments and determine the ADJ DOW;

(b)

Enter the fuel load in the TAKEOFF FUEL field and sum to ADJ DOW to
determine the OPERATING WEIGHT;

(c)

Complete the fields MAX-ZFW, MAX-TOW and MAX LW to determine


ALLOWED TFC LOAD;

(d)

Calculate the TOTAL TRAFFIC LOAD and enter the DRY OPER
WEIGHT to determine ZERO FUEL WEIGHT;

(e)

Enter TAKEOFF FUEL and sum to ZERO FUEL WEIGHT to determine


TAKEOFF WEIGHT;

(f)

Enter TRIP FUEL and deduct from TAKEOFF WEIGHT to determine


LANDING WEIGHT;

(g)

Make any appropriate adjustments to the DOI (Dry Operating Index) in the
field designed for this purpose then enter the balance grid with the ADJ
DOI and draw down through the index scale (in the direction of the slope)
to account for:
(i)

Passengers in compartments A, B and C;

(ii)

Baggage and cargo in the forward and aft cargo compartments.

Portable Oxygen

10.1.3.1

General
Portable oxygen bottles are installed with oxygen masks that include a moulded
face-piece, re-breather bag and elastic restraining strap that are individually
wrapped for hygienic reasons. A supply tube is also provided.
Portable oxygen bottles can be used by passengers with breathing difficulties or by
cabin crew as a walk around bottle following a depressurisation and an emergency
descent.
Portable oxygen bottles are not suitable for use during the fighting of an in-flight
fire because the masks have holes in the sides that allow cabin air to enter the mask.
The portable oxygen cylinder is fitted with a HI outlet and a LO outlet, a
quantity/contents gauge and a yellow ON-OFF control knob.

Precautions When Using Oxygen


When using a portable oxygen bottle the following precautions should be taken:
(a)

As oxygen promotes combustion there is to be no smoking within a 3


metres radius of the passenger using oxygen (approximately 3 passenger
rows either side);

(b)

Ensure that the oxygen bottle fittings are free from any oil or grease as
such contaminants can cause combustion;

(c)

Turn the ON/OFF valve slowly and do not over tighten when closing;

(d)

Before putting on the mask wipe away any heavy lipstick or grease from
the mouth area;

(e)

Ensure tubing is not kinked and that oxygen is flowing (filling of rebreather bag) before fitting the mask with an efficient seal to the
passenger's face. Some oxygen masks are fitted with a green indicator
flow valve. When oxygen is flowing to the mask, the indicator (normally
clear or sometimes red) will turn green;

(f)

If it is necessary to use a portable oxygen mask on an infant, reverse the


mask (nose part under the chin) and hold gently against the face. The rebreather bag should be held vertically to ensure the free flow of oxygen;

(g)

Oxygen therapy is rarely detrimental to a patient and its value far


outweighs the very rare problems caused by its use. The passenger will
normally be able to advise the position in which he/she breathes easiest. If
required and available, cabin crew should seek assistance from a medically
qualified passenger(s); and

(h)

When the pressure gauge indicates less than 200 psi the valve should be
turned off and the bottle considered empty.

Protective Breathing Equipment (PBE)

10.1.7.1

General

Rev 00
15 Jul 09

Protective breathing equipment (PBE) is a breathing apparatus designed to protect


the wearer's eyes and respiratory tract from the effects of smoke and toxic fumes
while fighting an in-flight fire.
The following general features apply to all types of PBEs installed on Company
aircraft:
(a)

They are designed to enclose the head within an elastic neck seal and
provide for a minimum of 15 20 minutes (depending upon the
manufacturer) of breathable air from a chemical generator;

(b)

They can be worn by persons with glasses, jewellery, a beard or a hair bun;

(c)

They are installed with a neck shield (of varying length depending upon
manufacturer) that extends downward from the hood to protect the collar
and upper shoulder area; and

(d)

They have features that permit the wearers voice to be heard outside the
PBE.

Note:

Excess make-up should be removed before donning a PBE as contact


between grease and oxygen can cause burns.

Wearers should be aware that although the head area is protected, the rest of the
body is not and the wearer should guard against a feeling of invincibility.
Company aircraft are installed with one of three types of protective breathing
equipment as detailed below.

This PBE is a demand device which means that more strenuous the work the more
oxygen will be produced.
(a)

(b)

Pre-Flight Check:
(i)

Inspect that the PBE unit is visible through access door;

(ii)

Confirm that the white tamper proof seals located at the top and
bottom of the access door are intact; and

(iii)

Ensure that the foil pouch is in place and is not obviously


expanded.

Operation:
(i)

Open the container by pulling the red handle. Pull the red tag to
open the foil pouch and pull out on the blue aural/nasal cone and
remove the hood;

(ii)

Place both hands inside the neck seals, palms facing each other
and visor facing downward. Guide the hood over the head and
down over the face using the hands to shield the face and glasses
from the blue cone ensuring that hair clothing and jewellery is
clear of the neck seal;

(iii)

Using both hands pull the neck shield down over the collar and
shoulders; and

(iv)

Grasp both adjustment straps at the lower corner of the visor and
pull forward simultaneously to activate the oxygen canister, then
backward to seal the cone over the nose and mouth. Oxygen will
inflate the hood.

(v)

If required, adjust glasses through the fabric, not through the


neck seal.
Note:
The blue cone must be positioned high on the nose
with a firm seal otherwise fogging may occur.
If the hood begins to deflate and becomes hot and moist the
oxygen supply is depleted and the PBE must be removed.

Abnormal Operation
(i)

Failure of Starter Candle


If the starter candle fails to activate when the adjustment strap is
pulled an additional sharp pull on the strap may be adequate to
actuate the device. If the device still fails the hood will continue
to function. Placing fingers into the neck seal may be required to
enable sufficient breathing volume until the chemical generator
begins supplying oxygen.

(ii)

Loss of Neck Seal


The continued presence of strong irritating odours inside the
hood that results in eye and respiratory tract discomfort is an
indication of an ineffective neck seal. Ensure that the neck seal
is in contact with the skin and that the seal is not disrupted by
hair or jewellery. If the condition persists or there is evidence of
a tear in the neck seal, the wearer should quickly go to a safe
area and remove the hood and don an alternative unit.

(d)

Removal
(i)

Move away from fire and/or toxic fumes area;

(ii)

Push adjustment buckles forward with thumbs to release straps;

(iii)

Place both hands under neck seal and ease up over face;

(iv)

The oxygen canister can be activated by just breathing into the oral-nasal mask but
to start the chemical reaction by this method takes a few seconds, therefore pulling
the black quick-start toggle is the more immediate method of activation.
(a)

(b)

(c)

Pre-Flight Check:
(i)

Check container seal is intact and the yellow serviceability


indicator is not broken; and

(ii)

The container is not broken.

Operation:
(i)

Open container and remove foil bag containing the hood;

(ii)

Pull red tear strip at top of foil bag and remove hood;

(iii)

Place hood over head ensuring that the breathing bag cover is to
the front over the chest;

(iv)

Ensure that the neck seal is free of obstruction (e.g. hair, clothes
collar, etc) and that the head harness is pulled down for a secure
fit;

(v)

Fit oral-nasal mask securely to the nose and mouth and pull
black quick start toggle to activate; and

(vi)

Fit tie strap around the waist.

Abnormal Operations:
If the hood collapses onto the head during inhalation or there is an
increased breathing resistance check the fitting of the oral-nasal mask as
the cause may be an incomplete respiration back to the breathing back due
to leakage or an empty oxygen source.
After correcting the fitment of the oral-mask check the equipment by
making five (5) deep breaths. If the collapsing of the hood or increased
resistance occurs again either the oxygen reserve has been used up or the
hood is defective and should be removed.

Life vests are carried on all Company aircraft and are normally stowed in a
container attached to the underside of the passenger seats.
The following section contains information on life vests from various
manufacturers that may be installed on Company aircraft.
Life vests installed on Company aircraft consist of the following components:
(a)

Pressurised cylinder(s) as the primary means of inflation, activated by


pulling on one or two (depending upon the number if chambers) red
toggles that hangs from the bottom of the vest;

(b)

A mouth inflation valve for secondary inflation that can be used to inflate
the life jacket by blowing into one or two (depending upon the number of
chambers) mouthpieces. The life jacket can be deflated by depressing the
pin in the centre of the mouthpiece(s);

(c)

A whistle for attracting attention; and

(d)

A light, with a continuous life of approximately 20 hours that is connected


to a water sensitive battery and activated automatically immediately on
contact with water.

Life vests are designed to ensure that an unconscious or injured person will
automatically roll face upward in the water.

Miscellaneous Safety Equipment

10.1.9.1

Megaphone
Portable battery operated megaphones (loud hailers) are carried on board Company
aircraft to provide the means for cabin crew (and flight deck crew, if necessary) to
control passengers during evacuation when the PA system is inoperative or to
control passengers when outside the aircraft following an evacuation.
The megaphone may be used in the cabin only in emergency situations when the
PA system has failed. It is not to be used for normal passenger briefing or for
making non safety related announcements.
The megaphone consists of a microphone, amplifier, battery, trumpet shaped loud
speaker and a carrying strap.
The following general rules apply to megaphone use:

10.1.9.2

(a)

When used inside the aircraft the megaphone should be pointed down the
central length of the cabin;

(b)

When used outside the aircraft announcements should be made and


repeated a number of times in different directions as the sound is emitted in
a narrow beam which is not easily audible on either side;

(c)

Speak slowly, calmly and do not shout as this can distort the speech.

Emergency Torch
All Company aircraft are fitted with emergency torches (flashlights) that are located
near cabin crew seats and in the flight deck. These torches are for emergency use
only. The torch is waterproof, but will not float and has a wrist strap attached to the
base. When activated, the torch will operate for approximately six hours.
(a)

Pre-Flight Check
(i)

Ensure torch correctly positioned in stowage with the plastic


guard in place and with the lead seal intact; and

(ii)

That the red light is flashing in 3 to 10 seconds intervals.

Note:

If the interval is longer than 10 seconds, the battery power is low


and they should be replaced.

(b)

Operation
(i)

Pull the torch out from its stowage mount. This action turns the
light on;

(ii)

Wear the wrist-strap over the wrist to prevent from loss during
evacuation.

Note 1:

In survival situations (when a torch needs to be carried unilluminated), unscrew the bottom cap of the torch, disconnect
the plug inside and replace the cap. Reverse this procedure to
reactivate the torch when required.

Note 2:

On some aircraft, the torch is fitted with an ON/OFF switch.


During the pre-flight check the switch should be turned on to
ensure the torch operates correctly.

Crash Axe
Company aircraft have a crash axe installed in the flight deck that can be used to
open panels in the case of an in-flight fire.
The handle is insulated to prevent electric shock if a cable is cut during fire
fighting.

10.1.9.5

First Aid Kit


There are first aid kits of varying sizes containing at least the following basic first
aid supplies that can be used in the case of a medical emergency:
(i)

Compressed Wound Dressings;

(ii)

Bandages and splints;

(iii)

Triangular bandages;

(iv)

Adhesive strapping;

(v)

Tablets and medicines for head ache and other common ailments;

(vi)

A pair of scissors, burn ointment and antiseptic swabs;

(vii)

Latex gloves.

If an emergency first aid kit is opened, the purser must submit a report to the Cabin
Crew Unit outlining the circumstances requiring its use. Additionally, an entry
should be made in the Cabin Technical Log for the supply of a replacement
emergency first aid kit.

Categorisation of Emergency Landings:

Rev 00
15 Jul 09

Emergency landings are categorised as follows:


(a)

Prepared Emergency Landing


An emergency landing where there is sufficient time for cabin and
passenger preparation.

(b)

Unprepared Emergency Landing


Is an emergency landing where it is necessary to land the aircraft as soon
as possible.

An emergency landing is further defined as follows:


(a)

Forced landing
Is a landing, on land away from an airport

(b)

Ditching
Is a landing on water

(c)

Abnormal Landing
An abnormal landing is a landing at an airport in which some aircraft
damage is anticipated.
An abnormal landing is to be considered if the landing gear cannot be
locked fully down or some other malfunction exists and it is known or
considered possible that the aircraft will be damaged during landing.
In an abnormal landing, preparation for rapid evacuation should be as for
either a forced landing or ditching, with the exception that it is not
necessary to have passengers remove and stow certain items or loosen tight
clothing.
If landing gear standby indicators indicate that the landing gear is down
and locked then normal procedures will apply. A tower fly past should
only be conducted if there is reason to doubt that the landing gear is not
fully down or there is known damage to the landing gear.

Prepared Emergency Landing

Rev 00
15 Jul 09

In all emergency situations it is important that the cabin crew are given adequate
time in which to complete their passenger cabin preparation duties.
As soon as it is expected that an emergency landing will be required, the SEAT
BELT and NO SMOKING signs should be selected ON and the Purser summoned
to the flight deck by the following PA announcement:
COCKPIT SPEAKING, PURSER REQUIRED IN COCKPIT
The Purser is to be informed of the emergency in the following format:
(a)

Nature of the emergency;

(b)

Approximate flight time available;

(c)

Type of emergency landing (forced landing, ditching or abnormal landing);


and

(d)

Any other relevant information such as whether the Commander intends to


make a PA announcement prior to cabin preparation or if a BRACE
command will be given.

The Purser will repeat the Commanders instructions to ensure that everything is
completely understood prior to returning to the cabin to commence the cabin
preparation.
As the flight deck crew will be occupied dealing with the emergency situation the
Purser is responsible for the PA announcement to the passengers detailing the
nature of the emergency, the time available and the steps required in cabin
preparation.
If time and/or duties permit the Commander (or First Officer) should make a PA
announcement providing additional appropriate information on the emergency and
the anticipated landing. It is essential that this PA announcement does not over-ride
the cabin preparation PA announcement being made by the Purser.

11.1/P3

EMERGENCY EVACUATION PROCEDURES


ATR-72 STANDARD
OPERATING PROCEDURES

In the case of a forced landing or ditching both pilots should loosen their collar, tie
and shoe laces, remove sharp objects from pockets and, in the case of a ditching, fit
a life jacket (do not inflate).
The Purser must advise, or the Commander must confirm, that passenger cabin
preparation has been completed prior to the commencement of final approach.
All appropriate checklists must be completed.
11.1.2.2

Unprepared Emergency Landing


In the case of an unprepared emergency landing the degree of cabin preparation will
depend upon the time available. As a situation requiring an unprepared landing is
most likely to occur shortly after takeoff or during approach and landing the cabin
should be secure with respect to cabin service items, cabin crew and passengers
seated with seat belts fastened.
If possible, the Commander should communicate the situation to the Purser by
summoning him/her to the flight deck in accordance. If there is insufficient time the
Commander (or First Officer) should make an appropriate PA announcement which
will alert the cabin crew and the passengers to the emergency situation.

11.2.2.3

Brace Instructions
At approximately 1,500 FT the First Officer should make the following PA
announcement:
CABIN CREW TAKE YOUR SEATS FOR LANDING
At 30 seconds or approximately 300 FT before landing the First Officer should
make the following PA announcement:
BRACE FOR IMPACT, BRACE FOR IMPACT
Whenever there is a possibility of a runway overrun on a rejected takeoff or of an
unanticipated abnormal landing involving abnormal decelerations cabin crew
should be alerted by a PA announcement:
BRACE FOR IMPACT, BRACE FOR IMPACT

11.1.3

Evacuation Responsibility
The Commander is responsible for the evacuation PA announcement. Cabin crew
will only initiate evacuation when it is obvious that the aircraft must be
immediately evacuated due to catastrophic circumstances.

ATR-72 STANDARD
OPERATING PROCEDURES

Following a rejected takeoff or a landing that does not appear normal and there are
visible signs inside or outside of the cabin of an emergency situation, that may not
be apparent to the flight deck crew (e.g. smoke and/or fire) the Purser shall make
the following PA announcement:
PASSENGERS
REMAIN

The Purser will then enter the flight deck and advise the Commander of the
emergency situation. The Commander will assess the situation and be responsible
for the evacuation PA announcement.
11.1.4

Evacuation PA Announcements
Immediately the aircraft comes to a stop the Commander (or First Officer) shall
make the following PA announcement:
COCKPIT SPEAKING, CABIN CREW TO YOUR STATIONS
Once the Passenger Evacuation checklist is completed and evacuation is required
the Commander (or First Officer) will make the following PA announcement:
EVACUATE, EVACUATE!

11.1.5

Evacuation
If possible, pilots should proceed to the passenger cabin to assist in the emergency
evacuation as follows:
(a)

Assist in the opening of any suitable doors and exits.

(b)

Assist in the evacuation by directing passengers to the most suitable exit


avoiding congestion and by calling in a loud, clear voice urge passengers
to:
HURRY, COME THIS WAY

(c)

In the case of a ditching instruct passengers to inflate life jackets when


outside the aircraft;

(d)

If possible, the Commander or the Purser should check that all passengers
have evacuated the aircraft.

When no significant aircraft damage has occurred and cabin crew have prepared the
passenger cabin for evacuation the speed of the evacuation should be a
consideration. Passenger safety is the prime consideration in any emergency
evacuation. The flight deck crew and cabin crew will usually be able to determine
whether or not the evacuation requires utmost speed at the increased risk of injuries
to individual passengers.
