PBE requirements are as follows. 8.8.5.1 Flight Crew Each member of flight crew on flight deck duty shall have equipment to protect his eyes, nose and mouth and to provide oxygen for a period of not less than 15 minutes. The supply for Protective Breathing Equipment (PBE) may be provided by the supplemental oxygen described in paragraph 8.8.1. A portable protective breathing apparatus to protect the eyes, nose and mouth of one member of the flight crew, and to provide breathing gas for not less than 15 minutes must also be available on the flight deck and be easily accessible for immediate use by each member of the flight crew in his duty station. 8.8.5.2 Cabin Crew Not applicable to AEROTRANSCARGO’s operation. 8.9 TAKEOFF AND LANDINGS PROCEDURES 8.9.1 CO-PILOTS’ TAKEOFF AND LANDINGS Commander should exercise prudent judgment in deciding to allow a Co-Pilot to carry out a takeoff or landing. Provided that the Commander is satisfied that all aspects are within the Co-Pilot’s capabilities, the Commander may allow a Co-Pilot to carry out takeoffs and landings subject to the following conditions: 1. Experience level of FO 2. Prevailing conditions 3. Aircraft status and serviceability 4.
