K. Company Customized Normal Checklist

1. The revised ATR NORMAL CHECKLIST includes 13 phases. The BEFORE


PROPELLER ROTATION (BPR), BEFORE TAKEOFF, and AFTER
TAKEOFF checklists are divided into two sections: The "Down to the Line"
section, and the "Below the Line" section. This format is designed to help
Flight Deck Crew manage workload.

2. For example, the BEFORE PROPELLER ROTATION- Down to the Line


checklist may be called out, as soon as the Load/Trim Sheet is available and
takeoff data is set. On the other hand, the BEFORE PROPELLER
ROTATION- Below the Line " checklist may be called out after all aircraft doors
are closed and start-up clearance obtained.

3. The PNF must announce checklist completion, e.g. BEFORE PROPELLER


ROTATION COMPLETED", after reading and completing both Down to the
Line and Below the Line items of the relevant checklist.

4. The Pilot Flying (PF) requests the NORMAL CHECKLIST, and the Pilot Non
Flying (PNF) reads it.
5. The checklist actions are referred to as "challenge/response"-type actions. The
PF "responds" to the "challenge" only after checking the current status of the
aircraft.
6. If the configuration does not correspond to the checklist response, the PF must
take corrective action before "responding" to the "challenge". If corrective
action is not possible, then the PF must modify the response to reflect the real
situation (with a specific answer). When necessary, the other flight
crewmember must crosscheck the validity of the response. The challenger
(PNF) waits for a response before proceeding with the checklist.
7. The exception is the AFTER LANDING checklist; which is performed and
read silently by CM2.
8. For the checklist items that are identified; "AS REQUIRED or SET, the
response should correspond to the real condition or configuration of the
system.

D TR
C O
O L
PY LE

3. One Flight Deck Crew Member should always be in his respective cockpit seat during
Hotel Mode Operation.
Hotel Mode should not be utilized if the aircrafts Tail Wind Component is
10 knots or greater. It is the responsibility of the Flight Deck Crew to
always monitor outside meteorological conditions.

4. Power Levers shall be positioned only at the Ground Idle detent. Hotel Mode operation
with the RH Power Lever not at the Ground Idle detent position is prohibited.
5. Normally, the aircraft service door should be closed prior to starting engine number two in
Hotel Mode. If the cargo door is still open, the cabin access door and flight deck door
should be closed in order to aid in cabin/cockpit cooling.

6. Aircraft wheel chocks should be in place in case of propeller brake failure.

7. On arrival, if a GPU is available, Flight Deck Crew will initially configure engine number
two for Hotel Mode. GPU will then be connected to the aircraft once number two propeller
has ceased rotation. Engine number two will then be shut down once GPU is online.

8. On departure prior to push back or taxi out (power-out procedure), once the aircraft is in
Hotel Mode, Ground/Ramp Personnel should standby for the Flight Deck Crew command
to disconnect the GPU.
9. A tailwind component greater than 10 knots will result in a high probability of NAC
OVERHEAT. Also, anticipate possible tailwind component during pushback with turns. In
this case it would be wise to release the PROPELLER BRAKE prior to the turn.
10. For DEPARTING aircraft, if the tailwind component at the parking bay is 10 knots or
greater:
a. Obtain relevant clearance from ground control and /or ramp control for start up.
b. Advice ground mechanic/marshal that the start sequence will be ENGINE 1 first and

2.2.1.1.1

Introduction to Operating
Procedures

A. All mode changes should be called out by the PF


e.g.
1. GS star

2. VOR star

3. ALT white

4. LOC green

B. PF may set AP by himself or ORDER TO PNF

C. AP engaged, PF acts on AFCS

D. Under normal circumstances; if the PF is flying the aircraft MANUALLY,


all selections on the AFCS/GNSS shall be done by the PNF
E. When AP is engaged, all track and navigation changes on AFCS are
performed by the PF with the following method:
1. When the PF has completed his action, he informs the PNF by using
the word <<SET>> at the end of his call out.
2. PNF checks the mode displayed on FMA and/or ADU and if correct
announces <<CHECK>>.

F. GENERAL PHILOSOPHY:
1. All SET are done via ADU by PF if autopilot engaged, or PNF if
disengaged.
2. All CHECK are done via FMA. Any FMA status change has to be
announced by the PF.
G. If the PF has a heavy work load, he may request the setting of the
AFCS/GNSS from the PNF.

H. A climb or descend action must be done with whole following sequence:


1. Select Alt sel
2. Select and adjust vertical mode (usually IAS for climb and VS for
descent)
3. Adjust eventually Np and power.
4. Change altimeter barometric setting and compare
5. Select speed bug
IAS mode is normally used during climb (to avoid any stall due to high
altitude/low aircraft performance). Basic Pitch mode may be used in
turbulence and above 10,000 feet for passenger comfort and ease of in
flight services. Recommended pitch is 4 to 5 degrees. When using basic
pitch mode, a minimum speed should be set on the Speed Bug
depending on whether the aircraft is in normal or icing conditions,
High Bank/LNAV or Low Bank. For small level change during cruise with
high speed; VS mode may be used. During descent, VS mode is mainly
used except in emergency descent (refer to Emergency Descent
Procedure).

J.

In case of simultaneous setting, only one announcement can be used.

2.2.1.1.2

L. When GA P/B is depressed, autopilot is automatically disconnected.

A. AP disengaged, PNF acts on AFCS on PF request


B. All track and navigation changes on AFCS are performed by the PNF on
PF command.
C. PF flies the A/C and adjusts required power. All other selections or
switching in the cockpit are requested by PF and performed by PNF.
D. When
AP
is
disengaged,
heading
and/or
altitude
ATC
instructions/clearances are commanded by the PF and set and
announced by the PNF. This ensures proper crosschecks. All flight
parameters (speed bug, altimeter setting) are set by both pilots after PFs
request.

E. GENERAL PHILOSOPHY
1. PF orders the action by starting his sentence with the word SET
2. PNF informs PF after performing the action, concluding his sentence
by SET
3. PF announces CHECK after checking FMA and/or ADU

1. PF orders the system action

A. For system use in normal operations, any setting change will be performed through mutual
control concept:

2. PNF performs the action and announces the configuration when setting is in compliance
with the system indicator
B. Flaps maneuvers are always performed by the PNF under PF order. PNF checks the speed
(by announcing Speed Checked) before each configuration change then performs the task
and announces the new configuration.
C. Select new speed only when the new configuration is obtained, during deceleration.

2.2.13 COMPANY DOCUMENTS


2.2.13.1 SOPs / Reminders
1. Log/Check in properly on your flight duty days on the check in sheet provided at
OCC.
2. Pilots on IOE/RQ should present their grade slips/IOE forms to their TRIs for
proper review/documentation prior to flight assignment.

3. Properly log aircraft discrepancies on the Maintenance Portion of the Aircraft


Tech Log

N
D TR
C O
O L
PY LE

4. Properly complete the Aircraft Tech Log prior to terminating your flight. Write up all
delays with respective delay codes and remarks for further clarification. Determine
if delays require a separate Journey Report.
5. Completion of the Aircraft Tech Log is normally the duty of the First Officer but is
the responsibility of the Captain. All information entered should be COMPLETE and
ACCURATE

6. Flight Deck Crew should log only one snag per maintenance entry/sequence
number on the Aircraft Tech Log. Multiple snags on one sequence is not proper
and will cause difficulty in reckoning required maintenance action and rectification
interval.

7. Return aircraft charts/documentation to their proper place/sequence after use.


Advice the turn-around crew if certain charts are to be left out for their convenience
( example: RPLL/RPVM Approach Charts).

8. For ATR Flight Deck Crew operating out of Mactan, Cebu; to avoid late transmittal
of ATR AFL/Techlogs to OCC-Manila Flight Dispatch, Pilots are reminded to drop
by our remote flight dispatch office in Cebu station after flight duty. The Flight
Dispatcher / Station Officer will photocopy and send the AFL/Techlog to OCCManila within the day. With this, we achieve an up-to-date daily operational
summary thru ARMS and fuel reports made by our Fuel Analysts. Include remarks
such as Route Qualification, IOE, License Check, etc. on the AFL/Techlog.

D. A further task of this inspection is to provide a general overview of the condition and position
of the A/C before it is moved. The inspection should include technical/operational aspects
such as:

E. Finding of any leakage of A/C fluids should be reported to maintenance before the flight is
conducted. Particularly check toilet service panel and surrounding area for evidence of
leakage.
3.2.4

PRELIMINARY COCKPIT PREPARATION

A. The main approach is to extinguish all white lights, to test all systems and to prepare the
cockpit for flight.

B. As soon as you have an avail light for DC GPU, check the voltage on the left maintenance
panel. Then depressed in the GPU push-button, to do the preliminary cockpit preparation.

C. If external power is not available/ weak external Battery cart, Start in Hotel mode prior to
preliminary cockpit preparation, follow the chapter before taxi (refer to FCOM (2.03.06)
procedure for additional information)
D. With GPU available, Hotel Mode should only be started after the Preliminary Cockpit
Preparation has been done.
E. Recirc Fans OFF if ground air-conditioning to be used.
F. Weather Radar: ATR Pilots are reminded to set the aircraft weather radar to STBY on
ground. This is part of CM2 Preliminary Cockpit Preparation and After Landing
Procedure/After Landing Checklist
G. Radiation from aircraft weather radar poses a safety hazard to personnel and ground
equipment. Although the ATR weather radar system has a safety feature that prevents it from
being active on ground in WX mode, it is always safe practice to select it to STBY mode in
case this feature malfunctions.
H. ATC Recommendation: In case of dual installation (e.g. transponder, ignition, ADC switch), to
confirm the serviceability of both systems, standard procedure will be to select system 1 on
odd dates and system 2 on even dates.

BEFORE PROPELLER ROTATION


A. During engine start, CL to FTR at 19 % NH ALWAYS. This procedure aims at lowering
temperatures in our engine hot section and preserving engine life.
B. All engine starts are to be performed with the respective bleed OFF. Respective Bleed to be
selected ON once engine start is stabilized at the CL FTR position.
C. Pushback Operations: In order to minimize stress on our tow tugs/bars and avoid untimely
disconnections; Pilots are advised to have only one propeller rotating in feather during
aircraft push back.

D. This would mean either releasing the Propeller Brake on Engine 2 during push back OR
starting Engine 1 prior to GPU disconnect (in case hotel mode cannot be utilized).

N
D TR
C O
O L
PY LE

E. In no instance should two engines be running during aircraft push back.


F. Start of the other engine should commence only after aircraft push back is completed and
Parking Brake is set.
G. The Captain has to receive a cabin report from the CA1 prior to closing of the PAX door.
Cabin crew are instructed to confirm to the captain the total number of PAX, and request
permission to close the cabin door; through the interphone with the phrase xxx passengers
on board, tail stand stowed, permission to close passenger door.

H. Battery Starts

1. Due to No DC GPU available we are often required to perform battery starts and utilize
Hotel Mode to perform our First Flight of the Day pre-flight checks.

2. ATR FDC are reminded of the following operational considerations and constraints:

a. A proper pre-flight check is required prior to pax boarding.


b. To prevent unnecessary battery drain, the aircraft battery switch shall not be selected
ON unless FDC is ready to start the respective engine in Hotel Mode.
c. Respective Bleed Valve to be selected OFF to minimize starting ITT.
d. Respect 10 knots max tailwind component for Hotel Mode. If unable, Hotel Mode is
not permitted and a DC GPU is required to perform a standard pre-flight check.
Consider aircraft repositioning if possible.
e. Aircraft fuelling must be completed prior to Hotel Mode.
f. Service door must be closed. Aft cargo compartment loading may be accomplished
through the pax door.
g. Refer to FCOM 1.16.20, 2.01.04, 2.03.06, 2.05.02, and QRH 2.06 for ATR SOP.

I.

Engine Start Select: A+B for battery starts and the first start of the day, then for the next
start, A for odd days and B for even days, to detect ignition system hidden failure.

J.

Engine 2 start in Hotel mode is decided in accordance with operational requirements and
limitations. It is the Captains decision; at the very least the PRELIMINARY COCKPIT
PREPARATION PROCEDURE for short or long transit shall be completed and shall be
completed and the weather recorded and checked.

1. A Cabin Crew prepare for departure announcement on the aircraft PA should be


accomplished by CM2 prior to take off. This should be done after the Cabin Crew Safety
Demo, which can be monitored via the PA volume knob on the communications panel.
Cabin Crew will then advise Flight Deck Crew: Cabin ready via interphone. No Cabin
Ready, no Take-off.
2. A two chimes advisory via recycling (off+on) of the seat belt sign should be
accomplished by CM2 once take off is imminent. DO NOT give a two chimes signal or
takeoff unless Cabin Crew has reported Cabin Ready.

1. Prior to departure, pilots should set their ND (NAVIGATIONAL DISPLAY) to ARC mode.
This is required to display either RDR or TERR on ND. Normally, the PF should select
RDR on ND for proper WX monitoring. To maximize available information resources,
PNF should select TERR on ND for proper terrain monitoring. Selection of WX Radar
ON should be at CM1 discretion.

DESCENT AND 10,000 FT APPROACH PROCEDURE


A. The Seat Belt Sign is normally switched off (departure) or on (arrival) at 10,000 feet.
Approach Checklist during descent passing 10,000 feet
B. Below 10,000 feet, in the event that CM1 prefers to select a non-standard ND mode; CM2
should select a different mode. Bellow 10,000 feet, one crew member should preferably be
on RDR and the other on TERR.

C. Flight Deck Crew announcement Cabin crew, prepare for arrival will be done right after
switching on the seatbelt sign when descending thru 10,000 ft. It will signal the CA1 to start
the arrival announcement and cabin preparation. This will prevent inadvertent
turbulence/WX announcements by the cabin crew when the seatbelt sign is switched on.

A. The ATR 72-500 is vulnerable to Tail Strikes and proper aircraft pitch must be observed,
especially during landing (preferably 5 degrees max). A call out of PITCH shall be
announced by the PNF anytime if during the final approach / flare, aircraft pitch reaches +5
degrees.
B. Tail Strike with just minor scratches should not be taken for granted. These occurrences
should be properly noted in the Aircraft Technical Logbook by Flight Deck Crew.

AFTER LANDING
A. For runways with an exit/high speed taxi way, the after landing procedure/checklist shall be
accomplished upon leaving the active runway.
B. For runways that require a 180 degree turn for taxi to the ramp, the after landing
procedure/checklist may be accomplished after the completion of the 180 degree turn.
Pilots discretion is advised. The after landing procedure/checklist may be delayed until the
runway is vacated if safety is an issue.
C. After landing, strictly observe two (2) minutes minimum time prior to selecting CL to FTR
and thirty (30) seconds at FTR prior to CL FUEL S.O.

N
D TR
C O
O L
PY LE

D. ATR Pilots are reminded to set the aircraft weather radar to STBY on ground. This is part of
After Landing Procedure/After Landing Checklist
E. Radiation from aircraft weather radar poses a safety hazard to personnel and ground
equipment. Although the ATR weather radar system has a safety feature that prevents it
from being active on ground in WX mode, it is always safe practice to select it to STBY
mode in case this feature malfunctions.

GENERAL
A. Traffic Alert and Collision Avoidance System is used for detecting and tracking aircraft in the
vicinity of your own aircraft. By interrogating their transponder, it analyzes the replies to
determine range, bearing, and if reporting altitude, the relative altitude of the intruder. When
the TCAS processor determines that a possible collision hazard exists, it issues visual and
audio advisories to the crew for appropriate vertical avoidance maneuvers.
B. TCAS is unable to detect any intruding aircraft without an operating transponder or in
case of transponder failure.

C. TCAS should be set to ABV on climb, ___/Normal on cruise and BLW during descents.
Range selections at pilots discretion. In case of TCAS resolution, ATC is not responsible of
aircraft separation until resuming the initial clearance.

D. All information and data given in the following parts are specific to TCAS II version 7.0
E. There are two types of cockpit displays:

4.1.2

DEFINITIONS
4.1.2.1

Traffic Advisory

A. The goal of a Traffic Advisory is to inform the pilot of any surrounding traffic. The
crew should attempt to gain visual contact with the intruder and assess the
potential collision risk. The TA display shows the intruding aircrafts relative position
and altitude with the trend arrow to indicate if it is climbing descending at greater
than 500 feet per minute. The TA display identifies the relative threat of each
intruder by using various symbols and colors and provides appropriate synthesized
voice announcements.
1. Non-threat traffic advisory (TA)
Information about any non-threatening traffics in the vicinity.
Symbol used:

2. Proximity intruder traffic advisory (TA)


Information about any traffic in the proximity.
Symbol used:
3. Information about intruding aircraft considered potentially hazardous. TCAS will
display a TA, when time CPA (Closest point of approach) is between 20 and 48
seconds with aural alert TRAFFIC, TRAFFIC. This alert has to make pilots
look at the screen in order to determine visually the position of the intruder.

Resolution Advisory
A. The Resolution advisory is an appropriate vertical avoidance maneuver. The RA
display is incorporated into the vertical speed indicator RA/ VSI. By illuminating red
and green areas around the dial it displays the required rate, or limitation of climb
or descent to avoid a possible collision.
B. Some of the typical Resolution Advisories, which are shown on the RA/ VSI, will
require a maneuver by the crew while others will warm against maneuvering.

Symbol used:

C. Resolution advisories are grouped as Corrective advisories or preventive


advisories. Corrective Advisories require a positive action by the crew
accompanied by a green arc on the RA/ VSI showing Fly To guidance. Preventive
Advisories require that NO action be taken to alter the flight path of the aircraft.

D. With the resolution advisory, the TCAS triggers an aural synthesized voice alert
describing the avoidance maneuver required at the same time.

The TCAS II processor is programmed with the specific aircraft operating limitations, i.e.,
maximum altitude at which the aircraft can climb at 1500 ft/min. Climb or Increase Climb RAs
are therefore inhibited when the RA maneuver cannot be completed safely due to lack of
aircraft performance capability. These performance limits are included as part of the aircraft
wiring. See the AFM (Airplane Flight Manual) for the specific performance limitations for ATR.

TRAFFIC IN SIGHT

CAUTION: At this step, the crew should take no evasive actions based solely on
the TCAS II display.
A traffic advisory may become a resolution advisory within 15 seconds. If
the intruder is Non-Altitude Reporting (NAR) the traffic symbol appears
without an altitude number or trend arrow. The type of symbol selected by
TCAS II is based on the intruder location and closing rate.

NOTE:

4.1.3.2

If TCAS direction finding techniques fail to locate the azimuth of another


aircraft, a NO BEARING message appears on the screen.

Resolution Advisory

A. In case of RA, PF must maneuver the aircraft promptly and smoothly in


response to the resolution advisory. A typical TCAS II maneuver requires crew
response within 5 seconds and G-forces of +/- 0.25G. Because of this G-force
requirement, the response to the RA cannot be flown using the autopilot. The
autopilot must be disconnected before responding to the RA.
CAUTION:
1. Do not follow the flight director and do not change the altitude selected on
AFCS.
2. Do not over react to a resolution advisory.
3. Two TCAS II equipped aircraft will coordinate their resolution advisories using
a Mode S transponder air-to-air data link. The coordination ensures that
complementary advisories are issued in each aircraft.
4. Since maneuvers are coordinated, the crew should never maneuver in the
opposite direction of the advisory. Fly only the vertical speed commanded.

The TCAS installation needs to be wired to give EGPWS higher priority


than TCAS. In case of simultaneous audio alarms, the TCAS II system is
placed in TA ONLY mode (aural annunciations are inhibited) and the TA/
VSI and RA/ VSI flag will show RA OFF.

B. When clear of conflict


1. If initially in level flight, promptly but smoothly return to the previously assigned
altitude unless otherwise directed by ATC.
2. If previously climbing or descending resume the planned climb or descent
unless otherwise directed by ATC.

O L
PY LE

2. Prior to the Departure Briefing, it is mandatory that Flight Deck Crew check/cross check
saved routes that they load and always compare GNSS Track Distance against Flight
Plan Distance for proper flight management
3. RTE 1 should always be the active route and properly checked and briefed by the PF.
The PNF should cross check all data entered in the GNSS.
4. RTE 2 on the GNSS may be used to prepare for a turn around route, diversion to an
alternate airport, arrival runway changes, or a re-land.

39. You will have a difference in loadsheet weight and GNSS GR WT. This is due to fuel
information. On the load sheet it is the computed T/O weight and on the GNSS it is the
computed T/O weight + taxi/hotel mode fuel.

40. The preparation of the GNSS is complete. Route 1 should always be the active route. If
route 2 is desired: activate route 2, route copy to route 1 then activate route 1.

41. SIDS, STARs, and Approaches programmed in the GNSS should be part of the relevant
departure and approach briefings conducted by the PF. Any discrepancies between
paper charts and the GNSS should be resolved by checking the validity dates of both.
Paper charts take precedence over the GNSS.
42. GNSS FLIGHT PHASE PAGE MANAGEMENT:
a. PRIOR TO LOADSHEET VERIFICATION: Default page shall be VNAV page 2 for
ZFW data entry and GR WT verification/loadsheet crosscheck.
b. TAXI/TAKE OFF: Default page shall be LEGS page 1 for easy access to first direct

c.

LNAV Green: Once LNAV mode is active, default page shall be PROG page 1.
This page shows pertinent predictions and estimates.

d. DESCENT: Pilots discretion; PROG page 1, PROG page 2, or VNAV page 2 may be
used.
e. FINAL APPROACH: PROG page 2 shall be selected for wind information.

43. Navigational Display (ND) Range Management:


a. The ND should display at least the first waypoint of the active flight plan.
b. If the distance to the first waypoint is quite far, be careful if WX or TERR is a factor.
You may have to scan lower ranges to get a better picture of WX/TERR threats.
c.

Do not get into the habit of displaying all waypoints of the active route on the ND.
This will decrease situational awareness of imminent WX and TERR information on
ND. If you wish to check flight plan waypoints, use the LEGS page on the GNSS.

GENERAL
A. Navigation is not to be predicated on the use of the terrain display (TERR on ND).
B. The Terrain Display is intended to serve as a situational awareness tool only. It does not
have the integrity, accuracy or fidelity on which to solely bases decisions for terrain or
obstacle avoidance.
C. To avoid giving nuisance alerts, the predictive TAWS functions must be inhibited when
landing at an airport that is not included in the airport database.
EGPWS WARNING

4.3.2

N
D TR
C O
O L
PY LE

A. No pilot engaged in passenger transport deliberately enters a situation which may put his
passengers, his aircraft, his crew and himself in danger. Activation of EGPWS warnings is
therefore an illogical situation to a pilot more or less consciously concentrating on safe flight.
Analysis of crashes ( voice recorders from aircraft flying into terrain) tell us that the pilots
involved did not believe in warning, and that some pilots, as a consequence of their disbelief,
entered a state of inability to take the proper action.

B. When flying under daylight VMC conditions, should a warning threshold be deliberately
exceeded or encountered due to known specific terrain at certain locations, the warning may
be regarded as Cautionary and the approach may be continued.

C. A go-around shall be initiated in any case if the following warning appears and cause of
warning cannot be identified immediately.

WHOOP- WHOOP PULL UP


TERRAIN TERRAIN
TOO LOW TERRAIN

A/P --------------------------------------------------------OFF
POWER ------------------------------------ GO AROUND
Rotate to achieve maximum possible rate of climb.
When flight path is safe and GPWS warning ceases:
Decrease pitch attitude and accelerate.
When speed above minimum required and V/S positive:
Clean up aircraft as necessary.
CALL ATC, Recheck navigation, evaluate situation.
SINK RATE
Adjust pitch attitude and power to silence the warning.
DONT SINK
Adjust pitch attitude and power to maintain level or climbing flight.
TOO LOW GEAR TOO LOW FLAPS
Correct the configuration or perform a go-around.

GENERAL

A. DUE TO NO DC GPU AVAILABLE WE ARE OFTEN REQUIRED TO PERFORM BATTERY


STARTS AND UTILIZE HOTEL MODE TO PERFORM OUR FIRST FLIGHT OF THE DAY
PRE-FLIGHT CHECKS.
B. ATR FDC ARE REMINDED OF THE FOLLOWING OPERATIONAL CONSIDERATIONS
AND CONSTRAINTS:
1. A proper pre-flight check is required prior to pax boarding.
2. To prevent unnecessary battery drain, the aircraft battery switch shall not be selected
ON unless FDC is ready to start the respective engine in Hotel Mode.

3. Respective Bleed Valve to be selected OFF to minimize starting ITT.

N
D TR
C O
O L
PY LE

4. Respect 10 knots max tailwind component for Hotel Mode. If unable, Hotel Mode is not
permitted and a DC GPU is required to perform a standard pre-flight check.
5. Aircraft fuelling must be completed prior to Hotel Mode.

6. Service door must be closed. Aft cargo compartment loading may be accomplished
through the pax door.
7. Power Levers shall be set to the Ground Idle detent only.
8. Refer to FCOM 1.16.20, 2.01.04, 2.03.06, 2.05.02, and QRH 2.06 for ATR SOP
C. The following is the procedure in order to properly differentiate how much fuel our ATR
aircraft burn in flight and during Hotel Mode.

1. This procedure is to be utilized only during turn around flights where the aircraft remains
in Hotel Mode after parking.
2. After parking note total fuel used and RESET both fuel used counters.

3. Prior to releasing Propeller Brake, note fuel used on #2 engine during Hotel Mode and
log fuel used on the HMODE ABOVE G.I. (title to be revised later) column on the Tech
Log.
4. RESET #2 fuel used counter
D. Please exercise proper judgment when utilizing HOTEL MODE at T3.
1. When MNL RWY 24 is in use, there is a high probability that we will experience a tailwind
component greater than 10 knots with a corresponding NAC OVERHEAT alert.
2. The tailwind effect is more prevalent when the aircraft is parked at the remote parking
bays (stand 121 and beyond).
3. Also, anticipate possible tailwind component during pushback with turns. In this case it
would be wise to release the PROPELLER BRAKE prior to the turn.
4. For DEPARTING aircraft, if the tailwind component at the parking bay is 10 knots or
greater:
a. If aircraft will be pushed back, obtain clearance from Ground Control and T3 Ramp
Control to: start ENGINE 1 at parking bay, idle power due operational requirement.
b. If aircraft is to taxi out, start engine 1 first. Engine 2 will be started without Prop Brake
after GPU disconnect.
c.

Advice ground mechanic/marshal that the start sequence will be ENGINE 1 first and
at the bay.

C. Crew Action
1. The best wind shear procedure is avoidance. Flight crew should search for
clues to the presence of wind shear along the intended flight path. These
include pilot report, Low Level Wind Shear Alerting System (LLWAS),
thunderstorm, inversion layer etc.
2. Prevention

a. If practical use the longest suitable runway


b. Use the speeds for maximum allowable takeoff weight
c. Do not follow FD for takeoff for suspected wind shear; the attitude indicator
is the primary reference for pitch attitude.

D TR
C O
O L
PY LE

3. Recognize the indications of potential wind shear and then:


AVOID

AVOID

4. The key to recovery from wind shear is to fly the aircraft so that it is capable of
a climb gradient greater than the wind shear indicated loss of performance.
Normally, the standard wind/gust correction factor will provide a sufficient
margin of climb performance. If a shear is encountered that jeopardizes safety,
initiate a go-around. If the sink rate is arrested, continue with the procedure for
microburst.
Microburst

4.5.3.2

A. If a microburst is encountered, the first indication will be a rapid increase in the rate
of descent accompanied by a rapid drop below glide path (visual or electronic).

1. Initiate normal go-around procedures (10 pitch).

2. Do not raise the gear until a climb is established.


3. If the aircraft is not climbing, smoothly increase pitch until a climb is
established, or stall warning is encountered. If stall warning is encountered,
decrease pitch sufficiently to come out of the stall warning envelope.

4. When positively climbing at a safe altitude, retract the gear and complete the
go around manoeuvre.
B. NOTE:
1. Pitch attitudes above 20 degrees may be necessary to attain stick shaker
depending on weight and conditions.
2. The positive rate of climb should be verified on at least two (2) instruments.
Leave the gear down until you have this climb indication as it will absorb some
energy on impact should the microburst exceed your capability to climb. PNF
have to announce the negative vertical speed value.
3. If a decision is made to rotate to the shaker, extreme care should be
exercised so as not to over-rotate beyond this point, as the aircraft is
only a small percentage above the stall when the aural warning / shaker
activates

STANDARD INSTRUMENT DEPARTURE PROCEDURES


A. Standard Instrument Departure (SID) FOR HIGH PERFORMANCE AIRCRAFT shall NOT

B. For landings on long runways (non-Captains runways), the use of reverse power is
discouraged except in Abnormal/Emergency situations.

1. ATR aircraft are equipped with the latest carbon brake technology. These consist of
carbon disc running on carbon disc, Wear characteristics are very different to those of
steel brakes.

2. Carbon brakes are more efficient when at their working temperature.


a. Level of energy input has very little impact on the overall wear rate.
b. Amount of wear during each landing is extremely low irrespective of energy input and
significantly lower than for steel brakes.
c. Carbon brakes have a potential to achieve a very high number of landings.
4. Most significant effect on wear rate for carbon brake is the number of brake
applications during the taxi sequence (snubs). Greatest effect when the brake is
cold (taxi out).
5. Consequently any achievable reduction in the number of brake applications during taxi
would result in a significant increase in brake life
6. If the number of applications during taxi can be kept to a minimum then an optimum
brake life may be achieved.
B. Operating Procedures
1. Avoid snubbing brakes on taxi more than is necessary.
2. Avoid riding of brakes.
3. Use steady but positive braking to reduce taxi speed.
4. Do not rest feet on the brake pedal. This will induce a system pressure increase and
consequently, unnecessary brake wear.

5. Anticipate traffic density, surface slope, and speed during taxi to keep braking
requirements to a minimum.
6. Do not steer the aircraft using the brakes.
7. Avoid inching the aircraft forward whilst holding against the engines (Caticlan static take
off procedures). Static take-off is used only in CATICLAN. This is due to deletion of the
14M Alignment allowance for TODA/TORA in the relevant FOS chart. In ALL other
runways, the 14M Alignment allowance for TODA/TORA is included; hence there is no
requirement for a static take off.
8. Protect carbon brakes from de-icers (runway and aircraft).

9. Protect carbon brake from aircraft cleaning agents.

180 DEGREE RUNWAY TURNS


A. For a 180 degree turn on the runway, the following procedure is recommended:
1. CM1 shall taxi slightly on the right hand side of the runway and turn LEFT to establish a
25 degree divergence from the runway axis using the ND as reference with a ground
speed between 5kt to 8kt.
2. When CM1 assesses the aircraft nose to be over the runway edge, smoothly initiate a full

VFR Airports / Caticlan Traffic Speed Control


A. The following procedures are to be used in Caticlan and other VFR airports where
traffic congestion exists.
B. All distances to MPH will be reckoned via GNSS/GPS distance to CT NDB for
uniformity.
C. For distance reckoning of other VFR airports:
1. Use the primary available NAVAID if available (example: for RPUY; use CUY
VOR)

2. If no NAVAID available, use the ICAO identifier for GNSS/GPS distance


reckoning.

N
D TR
C O
O L
PY LE

D. Incase of traffic congestion, Strict Speed Control will be implemented with the
following constraints.
1. 30 NM at speed of 230 KIAS / knots indicated airspeed
2. 20 NM at speed of 210 KIAS / knots indicated airspeed
3. 10 NM at speed of 180 KIAS / knots indicated airspeed
4. Traffic pattern/downwind speed of White Bug + 10 / knots indicated airspeed

E. Absolutely NO OVERTAKING at 30NM to destination. In the event of


simultaneous arrivals, the aircraft with a higher VMO will be given priority. Observe
proper airmanship and courtesy.

F. For Caticlan, the Number One arriving aircraft will have no speed constraints
(SPEED IS YOURS) and endeavor to maintain HIGH SPEED/VMO until 7NM CT
NDB (northern tip of Boracay) prior to deceleration and directly join the respective
base leg of the runway in use (subject to ATC). Deceleration may be performed
earlier if there are safety issues involved such as WX/turbulence, a high landing
weight which will compromise deceleration, or as instructed by ATC.
G. Transponders should always be selected ON for proper TCAS monitoring.
H. Arriving Aircraft should plan to be at 3000 feet at 10 NM CT NDB if VFR
conditions permit.
I.

Departing aircraft should expedite climb to cross 10 NM out at 4000 feet or


above to avoid incoming traffic.

RTO (RESERVE TAKOEFF) POWER


A. The Pratt & Whitney 127M is certified for 2750 SHP max take off rating. RTO power is
available by positioning the PLs to the ramp (go around) position. Extreme caution is
advised so as not to go beyond the ramp position. Such action will cause the engines to
operate beyond safe limits.
B. The Climb Sequence of an RTO take off is identical to a go around maneuver. The PLs
are required to be retarded to the notch (normal take off detent) prior to selecting CLB on
the Power Management selector.

4.6.3

POWERBACK PROCEDURES

A. Ground Requirements:

1. A minimum of four (4) ground Marshalls are required.

2. A Marshall shall be situated directly in front of the cockpit to guide CM1, at each wing tip,
and the aircrafts tail.
B. Procedure:

1. Aircraft should have both engines running. Single engine powerback is prohibited.

2. CM1 should exercise extreme caution when applying reverse power. Power application
should be smooth and at the minimum required for aircraft movement.

3. Powerback taxi speed should be the slowest possible. Both pilots shall have both their
feet on the floor during powerback operations.

4. Brakes shall not be used to stop the aircraft during a powerback maneuver. Ground
idle or careful application of forward power shall be used to arrest powerback speed and
stop the aircraft.
5. The PIC has the right to refuse a powerback maneuver if his judgment perceives a safety
concern.
4.6.4

WHITE / RED BUG + 10 CLIMB


A. FOR OBSTACLE CLEARANCE ON DEPARTURE:
1. Busuanga Airport normal departure procedure is to maintain climb speed of WHITE BUG
+ 10 until passing 3000 ft QNH.
2. San Jose airport normal departure procedure is to maintain climb speed of WHITE BUG
+ 10 until passing 9000 ft QNH.
3. In the unlikely event that icing conditions below 10,000 ft. is experienced, minimum speed
will be the standard RED BUG + 10 for HIGH BANK / RED BUG for LOW BANK.
B. Subject to captains discretion; this procedure may be used for other airports than require a
steep departure gradient.

Normal Procedures
A. Instrument Approach Interception Technique
1. Precision Approach:
a. Establish IAS < 180 KIAS and Flaps 15 setting before reaching one dot
below the glide slope.

a. Establish IAS < 180 KIAS and Flaps 15 setting 4nm prior to the Final
Approach Fix (FAF)

B. Visual Approach Technique

N
D TR
C O
O L
PY LE

1. Final approach shall be commenced at 2000 feet AGL.


2. At 1000 feet AGL, aircraft must be:

a. Established on the final approach.

b. In full landing configuration (gear down and lock, flaps 30 selected and
indicated)
c.

Both CL to 100% override

d. STEEP APP pushbutton activated

e. Before Landing Checklist completed

C. Final Approach

1. Set both CL to 100% override

2. Activate STEEP APP pushbutton

D. Flight Techniques

1. The 6 degree approach slope does not require exceptional skill. However the
landing flare has to be initiated earlier and may require a larger than usual
elevator deflection.
2. Landing distance is not affected. However an OVERSPEED will result in a
penalty regarding actual landing distance, thus reducing safety margins. An
UNDERSPEED, on the other hand, may result in a stall during the landing
flare. Speed reduction is greater during the flare from a steep approach
compared to a traditional one.
3. A considerable high rate of descent during a steep approach compared to a
traditional one will result in a lower power setting. If the aircraft speed gets too
high, flight idle may be the only way to reduce airspeed. This is undesirable
and may occur if a tailwind component exists during the approach. Hence the 5
knot maximum tailwind limitation. If airspeed gets low, thrust is almost
immediately available synchronized with power lever movement.
4. Short/Close in approaches are prohibited. The captain shall ensure that the
aircraft is on a stabilized approach at 1000 feet AGL and in full landing
configuration.

5. Standard company call outs apply. Keep in mind that certain GPWS features
are inhibited during a Steep Slope approach. CM2 shall alert CM1 of any flight
path deviations and observe that corrections are made immediately.
6. Aircraft touchdown shall be firm. Any attempt to make a smooth landing will
increase landing distance and reduce safety margins.
7. An optimum deceleration technique shall be applied as soon as possible after
touchdown. Any attempt to delay or ensure passenger comfort may
jeopardize safety margins.

WAKE TURBULENCES

A. Wake Turbulence is the leading cause of airplane upsets. The phenomenon that creates
wake turbulence results from the forces that lift airplanes. High-pressure air from the lower
surface of the wings flows around the wingtips to the lower pressure region above the wings.
Pair of counter-rotating vortices are thus shed from the wings: the right wing vortex rotates
counterclockwise, and the left wing vortex rotates clockwise. The region of rotating air behind
the airplane is where wake turbulence occurs. The strength of the turbulence is determined
predominantly by weight, wingspan, and speed of the airplane. Generally, vortices descend
at an initial rate of about 300 to 500 ft/min for about 30sec. The descent rate decreases and
eventually approaches zero between 500 and 900 ft below the flight path. Flying at or above
the flight path provides the best method for avoidance. Maintaining a vertical separation of at
least 1000-ft when crossing below the preceding aircraft may be considered safe.

C. Take off and Landing:

N
D TR
C O
O L
PY LE

B. An encounter with wake turbulence usually results in induced rolling or pitch moments;
however, in rare instances an encounter could cause structural damage to the airplane. In
more than one instance, pilots have described an encounter to be like hitting a wall. The
dynamic forces of the vortex can exceed the roll or pitch capability of the airplane to
overcome these forces. During test programs, the wake was approached from all directions
to evaluate the effect of encounter direction on response. One item was common to all
encounters: without a concerted effort by the pilot to check the wake, the airplane would be
expelled from the wake and an airplane upset could occur

1. Turbulence encountered during approach or take off may be due to wake turbulence.
2. ATR is classified in Medium category Aircraft ( 7T < MTOW < 136T )
3. Aircraft turbulence categories and wake turbulence separation minima are defined (ICAO
Doc. 4444) as follows:

APPROACH

TAKE OFF

LIGHT/ MEDIUM

3NM (2.5NM according ATC)

HEAVY (> 136T)

4NM

Expect Time Separation:

WIND SHEAR
A. Description
1. This phenomenon may be defined as a notable change in wind direction and/or speed
over a short distance.
2. Windshear can be encountered in the vicinity of thunderstorms, into rain showers (even
without thunderstorms), during a frontal passage or on airports situated near large areas
of water (sea breeze fronts)
3. Severe windshear encountered above 1000 feet, whilst unpleasant, can generally be
negotiated safely. However it is encountered below 500 feet on take off or approach/
landing it is potentially dangerous.
4. As far as possible this phenomenon must be avoided.

B. Procedures
1. Windshear recovery procedure at takeoff:
a. Delay the takeoff. If a low-level windshear is reported, calculate VR, V2 at the
maximum takeoff weight available for the day.
b. If windshear is experienced, do not change the configuration until safe speed and
altitude are reached regardless of FD indication, increase pitch to 10
c.

When clear of obstacles, accelerate as much as possible and clean up the aircraft.

d. Climb at the normal climb speed.

2. Procedure during an approach if a windshear is encountered:

N
D TR
C O
O L
PY LE

a. Initiate a normal go around procedure then increase to 10 pitch, regardless FD


indication.
b. Be aware of stick pusher
c.

Do not retract LDG Gear.

d. When positively climbing at a safe altitude, retract the gear and complete the normal
go around procedure
3. Caution:

a. Positive rate of climb must be verified on at least two instruments: both speed and
vertical speed must be checked increasing for more than 5 seconds.

C. Comments

1. Ten degrees pitch attitude is the best compromise, making it to ensure a climbing slope
while respecting acceptable High value of AOA. If necessary, Max power (PL to ramp
position) or Emer power (PL to wall position) will be used with a smooth pitch increase, at
the limit of stick shaker activation.
2. Leaving the gear down until the climb is established will allow to absorb some energy
impact, should the microburst exceeds the aircraft capability to climb.

A. Stall Recovery Procedure From Clean Configuration

1. Stall recovery was practiced in the simulator with autopilot ON in clean and
landing configuration.
2. The reason for this is that the autopilot will trim the aircraft nose up, so the
recovery demands a firm push on the control wheel.
3. The autopilot disengages when the stickpusher is activated.

2. Then retract flaps one notch.
3. If flaps are retracted at a speed below VGA, there will be a risk of a secondary
stall.

CREW MEMBER INCAPACITATION


A. General
1. Crew member incapacitation is defined as any condition which affects the health of a
crew member during the flight phase and which decreases his skill for the assigned
Tasks.

2. Incapacitation is a real air safety hazard, which occurs more frequently than many of the
other emergencies, which are the subject of routing training. Incapacitation can occur in
many forms varying from obvious sudden death to subtle, partial loss of function. It
occurs in all age groups and during all phases of flight and may not be preceded by any
warning.

N
D TR
C O
O L
PY LE

B. Recognition

1. The critical operational problem is early recognition of the incapacitation. The keys for
immediate recognition of incapacitation are:
a. Routine monitoring and cross-checking of flight instruments, particularly during critical
phases of flight, such as takeoff, climb out, decent, approach, landing and go around.
b. If a crew member does not respond appropriately to two verbal communications, or
c.

If a crew member does not respond to a verbal communication associated with a


significant deviation from a standard flight profile.

2. Other symptoms of the beginning of an active incapacitation are:

a. Incoherent speech
b. Strange behavior

Irregular breathing

c.

d. Pale fixed facial expression


e. Jerky motions that are either delayed or too rapid
f.

If a crew feels sick, he must transfer the flying task.

3. Action:
1. The recovery from a detected incapacitation of the handling pilot shall follow the
following sequence:
a. Flight:
i.

The remaining pilot must assume control and resume the aircraft to a safe
flight path, and announce I have control. (use Autopilot and headset as
much as possible)

b. Incapacitation:
i.

The healthy pilot must ensure that the incapacitated pilot cannot interfere
with the aircraft control.

ii.

He must call cabin crew to secure/lock the sick pilot on his flight crew seat.

iii. If the cockpit door is locked, the assisting cabin crew will apply the relevant
procedure to unlock the system, and provide first aid.

1. On February 8th, 2002, the National Bureau of Transportation Safety Board (NTSB), in
co-operation with the French Bureau Enqutes Analyse (BEA), issued
recommendations for aircraft manufacturers to re-emphasize the structural certification
requirements of the rudder and vertical stabilizer, showing some maneuvers which can
result in exceeding design limits and even lead to structural failures.
2. In this perspective, new amendment to AFM & FCOM states:
CAUTION:

Rapidly alternating large pedal applications in combination with large


sideslip angles may result in structural failure at any speed

B. Rudder Design Functions

1. The Rudder May Be Used:

a. In normal operations, for directional control:

During the takeoff roll, when on ground, especially in crosswind conditions.

ii.

During the landing flare with crosswind, for decrab maneuver

i.

iii. During the landing roll, when on ground

iv. The rudder may be used as deemed necessary, for turn co-ordination to prevent
excessive sideslip.

b. In some other abnormal situations:


i.

Full rudder deflection can be used to offset the yawing moment of an asymmetric
thrust.

ii.

Runaway rudder trims: the rudder pedals may be used to move the rudder to the
neutral position.

iii. Aileron jam: the rudder may be used to smoothly control the roll.
iv. Landing with unsafe indication: the rudder may be used to establish sideslip in an
attempt to lock the landing gear down by aerodynamic side forces.
v.

c.

Landing gear not locked down: the rudder can be used for directional control on
the ground.

For here above maneuvers, proper usage will not affect the aircraft structural
integrity.

2. The Rudder Must Not Be Used:


a. To include roll, except for aileron jam
b. To counteract turbulence

EGPWS WARNING
A. A pilot should never fly in a situation which may put his passengers, his aircraft and himself in
danger. Activation of EGPWS is therefore a crucial alarm regarding flight safety.
B. Analysis of some crashes shows that pilots involved did not believe in EGPWS warning and
as a consequence of their disbelief, entered a state of inability to take proper action.
C. When flying under daylight VMC conditions, a warning threshold may be deliberately
exceeded due to a well knowledge of the present terrain; the warning may be regarded as a
caution and the approach may be continued.

D. A go around shall be initiated if the cause of the warning cannot be identified immediately.
