    Study Notes

    Fuel Policy

    • Taxi fuel considerations include APU use, engine starts, and taxiing for departure.
    • Trip fuel stages involve takeoff, SID, cruising FPR, descent via STAR, and approach/landing, all factoring in planned landing weight, SID & STAR expectations.
    • Contingency fuel accounts for extended taxi, delays, altitude restrictions, route changes, and forecast errors; minimum contingency is 5% of trip fuel if PBC contingency is unavailable.
    • Additional fuel may be necessary if total trip, contingency, alternate, and reserve fuel is insufficient for holding or expected diversion.
    • Alternate fuel policies include considerations for minimum approach and climb to cruising altitude with 5% contingency.
    • Final reserve rules dictate minimum fuel for safe landing, with provisions for holding at alternate destinations and adjustments for emergencies.

    Inflight Fuel Reduction

    • In-flight fuel management allows less than MDF under specific conditions such as runway independence, favorable weather, and clear paths to destination.
    • Minimum fuel indicates a commitment to land, while mayday fuel indicates fuel below reserve levels.

    Planning Minima

    • Operational information from CPA has overriding authority; PIC can impose higher minima.
    • Flights must include instrument approach aids; corrections are made for temperature at specific altitudes.

    SEPM - Emergency Protocols

    • Priority code enables urgent communications to the flight deck; varies by aircraft type (A330, A320/A321, A350).
    • Emergency reports follow the format of "WHO WHAT WHERE."
    • Alert phase initiated by ISM attention calls and cancellation indicates return to normal operations.
    • Brace or evacuation commands may use visual signals if PA is inoperative.

    Safety Equipment Checklist

    • Regular checks confirm status of ELT, torches, life jackets, fire extinguishers, and personal breathing equipment (PBE).

    Bomb Threat Procedures

    • Positive identification of a threat requires varying protocols for crew and passenger disembarkation.

    Unruly Passengers

    • Behavior escalates through levels from disruptive to life-threatening; interventions escalate from warnings to restraint.

    Operational Procedures

    • Early preparation for APU INOP MEL includes requesting an air start unit.
    • Cabin temperature management during boarding may grant PIC discretion in passenger loading based on conditions.

    Speed Control and ATC Compliance

    • Speed deviations include specific considerations for both departure and cruising conditions; operational issues communicated immediately.
    • LVPs must be observed for low visibility takeoffs and landings, including specific visibility measures for ILS approaches.

    De-icing and Anti-icing Policies

    • Guidelines for acceptable frost levels on wings; specific de-icing types (Type 1, 2, and 4) serve different purposes during winter operations.
    • Anti-icing procedures follow depending on contaminant conditions after de-icing is completed.

    Departure Procedures

    • The TCRAP (Time, Chart, Clearance, Radnav, Altitude, Performance) method guides final checks before takeoff.
    • Takeoff thrust adjustments based on wind conditions to ensure aircraft control and safety.

    Management of Emergency Situations

    • EO procedures activate derated climb thrust changes, continuously optimizing fuel usage and altitude adjustments.
    • Speed maintenance is crucial; specific thresholds determine managed speed and adjustments in flight.

    Approach and Descent Management

    • Monitor weather and altitude shifts to optimize aerodynamics and operational safety.
    • Fuel plans during cruise include allowances for diversion contingencies and holding times.

    Dispatch Considerations

    • Review status pages and deferred procedures before takeoff; pay attention to runway conditions and relevant NOTAMs affecting operations.
