Study Notes
Aircraft Stabilization on Final Approach
- At or below 1,000 ft Height Above Airport (HAA) in both IMC (Instrument Meteorological Conditions) and VMC (Visual Meteorological Conditions), specific parameters must be established.
- Speed must be maintained between Vref and Vref+20 to ensure a safe approach.
- Vertical speed must be less than approximately 1,000 ft/min; if exceeding this rate, a special briefing is mandatory.
- Bank angle should be 15 degrees or less to maintain stability during landing.
- Thrust must be above idle to ensure adequate power for landing.
- Aircraft must be in the intended landing configuration for optimal performance.
- Position should allow landing within the runway’s touchdown zone using normal maneuvers.
- All briefings and checklists must be completed prior to landing.
Go-Around Procedure
- If any parameters are exceeded while passing 1,000 ft HAA or before reaching 50 ft, a go-around is required.
- A flight crew member noticing parameter exceedance must notify the Pilot Flying (PF) to initiate a go-around.
- An immediate missed approach is the required response to a "GO-AROUND" alert.
- AEROTRANSCARGO management supports the crew's decision to discontinue the approach for safety reasons.
- Any missed approach must be reported through the CENTRIK system.
Extended Twin Operations (ETOPS)
- ETOPS regulations do not apply to AEROTRANSCARGO operations.
Use of Minimum Equipment and Configuration Deviation Lists
- Unserviceable items of installed aircraft equipment may not impact the aircraft's safety or operational fitness for flights.
- AEROTRANSCARGO holds CAA RM approval permitting operations with certain unserviceable items, following the Minimum Equipment List (MEL).
- The MEL must align with the Master MEL (MMEL), which is established by the aircraft manufacturer and sanctioned by the Type Certificating Authority.
