SE-LJI 20180

FUSELAGE
Pressurization
The fuselage is pressurized in all compartments between fore and aft
pressure bulkheads. An automatic pressurization system controls the outflow
of conditioned air. The maximum pressure differential of approximately 5.45
psi allows a cabin altitude of 8000 ft at a flight altitude of 25’000 ft. The air
conditioning packs are located in the non-pressurized aft section.
Doors
Four outward-opening cabin doors are provided, two on each side of the
fuselage. For use and operation see subsection DOORS.
Windows
The flight deck windows are identified as front windows, direct-vision
windows and sliding windows. The front windows are electrically heated. Rain
is removed by two wipers. Direct-vision and sliding windows can be opened
when the aircraft is not pressurized. Front and direct-vision windows are
demisted by conditioned airflow. Sunvisors are provided. The cabin windows
are equipped with adjustable sunblinds. The double pane construction allows
a conditioned airflow for demisting.

30.01.2006 B-0.5-1
Fokker 50 Aircraft General OM – Part B
Rev.: 014
Probes, Antennas, and Lights
Four pitot heads and an angle-of-attack vane are installed near the nose of
the aircraft. To prevent ice buildup, they are electrically heated. Antennas for
VHF communication, ATC transponder, DME, ADF, marker beacon, radio
altimeter are installed on the top and/or bottom of the fuselage. An ELT
antenna is located in the dorsal fin. Weather radar and glide slope antennas
are located in the non-pressurized fuselage nose. Anti-collision lights are
installed on the top and bottom of the fuselage (see illustration of antennas
and external lights below).

WINGS AND TAIL SECTION


Flight Controls and Flaps
Each aileron has a spring tab, a balance tab, and an integral horn balance
which forms part of the wing tip. The balance tab at the RH aileron can be
operated as a trim tab. The vertical stabilizer is equipped with a horn
balanced rudder. The rudder is equipped with a balance tab and a trim tab.
The horizontal stabilizer has two elevator surfaces and one trim tab. The
flaps, which comprise two trailing-edge sections of each wing, are operated
hydraulically.

Ice and Rain Protection


Inflatable rubber boots are recessed into the leading edges of the wings and
the tail section. De-icing is obtained by alternately inflating and deflating the
air ducts in the boots.

Antennas and Lights


See the illustrations below for location of navigation and anti-collision lights,
wing inspection lights, strobe lights, logo lights, and landing lights. Both
VOR/LOC antennas are located on the vertical stabilizer.
Fuel Tanks
Fuel is stored in two integral tanks, one in each wing, and in two collector
tanks, one in each nacelle. Electrical pumps in the collector tanks ensure a
continuous supply to the engines. Crossfeeding, to supply both engines from
one tank, or one engine from both tanks, is possible. A pressure fuelling
connector is located on the underside of the RH wing. The fuel service panel
is installed in the RH nacelle.

B-0.5-2 30.01.2006
OM – Part B Aircraft General Fokker 50
Rev.: 014

Nacelles
The front section houses the power plant and its mounting. The forward
bulkhead of the center section forms a firewall. The exhaust gases, led
through the firewall and then outwards, exit below and slightly aft of the wing
leading edge. The center section is used for housing the main landing gear
and the collector tank. The rear section of the LH nacelle houses the
hydraulic tank.

POWER PLANT
Engines and Propellers
The aircraft is equipped with two wing-mounted Pratt and Whitney PW 125B
turboprop engines. Each engine is essentially a twin-spool turbojet combined
with a free power-turbine assembly, which drives a reduction gearbox, and a
six-bladed constant speed propeller via a third concentric shaft. The
propellers have reverse thrust capability for braking and ground
maneuvering. Propeller pitch is controlled by high-pressure engine oil and
counterweights. Feathering can be initiated automatically or manually.
Engines and propellers are protected against ice by electrical heating. The
engines are equipped with fire detection and extinguishing systems.

Electric, Hydraulic, and Pneumatic Power


Each engine drives an Integrated Drive Generator (IDG). The IDG's generate
115 V/400 Hz three-phase AC power. 28 V DC power is obtained through
two Transformer Rectifier Units (TRU). Emergency power is supplied by two
batteries. Electrical power for starting is supplied by the batteries and/or by
an external source. Two engine-driven pumps provide hydraulic power
through a single system, for operation of landing gear, flaps, nose-wheel
steering and brakes. Bleed-air, tapped from the compressors of both
engines, is used for air conditioning and pressurization, airframe de-icing and
hydraulic tank pressurization.

LANDING GEAR
The landing gear consists of a forward retracting nose gear and two rearward
retracting main gears. Doors enclose the landing gear bays in the
unpressurized fuselage nose and in each nacelle when the gear is retracted.
Each gear is equipped with a shock absorber and two wheels. The main-gear
wheels are equipped with brake units. A skid-control system provides
optimum braking for all runway conditions. The nose gear is provided with
nose-wheel steering and a centering system. The minimum turning radius is
shown in the illustrations. The nose gear is equipped for pull-out or push-

FLIGHT DECK
Seats
The flight deck is arranged for two-pilot operation. The pilots' seats are
adjustable horizontally (forward and backward) and vertically. Thigh support,
lumbar support and recline position are individually adjustable. The seat
cushions can be electrically heated. To facilitate entry the armrests can be
folded upwards. Each seat is provided with a five-point harness. A foldable
seat for an observer is stowed in the flight deck entrance. The seat is
provided with a shoulder harness and lap belt.
Reference Eye Position
A horizontal line in the top corner of each pilot's instrument panel is an aid for
the adjustment of the pilots' seat. For an optimum combination of outside
visibility and instrument scan, the line should be seen just below the glare
shield.
Control Column and Pedals
Each control wheel comprises a microphone IC/RT selector, a touch-control
steering button, an AP cut-out button and a chronometer button. Chart
holders are also installed. The captain's control column is equipped with a
stick shaker. Adjustable pedals provide for brake and rudder operation.
Control and Instrument Panels
Controls that are part of operational procedures are within easy reach of
either pilot; instruments and annunciators are within the field of vision of both
pilots. Controls and indicators for use by the pilots can be found on the
following panels:
- The main instrument panel, which is tilted for better readability, is divided
into a captain's, a first officer's (F/0), and a center panel. A Primary Flight
Display (PFD) and a Navigation Display (ND) are installed, one above
the other, at each pilot's panel. These panels also house controls and
indicators for secondary flight and navigation data and standby
instruments. The center panel contains power plant instruments, the
standby horizon, the Central Annunciator Panel (CAP), the landing gear
selector, the TAT indicator, the fuel quantity totalizer and the brake
pressure and flap position indicators.
- A glare shield, located directly above the main instrument panel, contains
EFIS, AFCS, VHF NAV control panels and the master warning and
caution lights.
- The overhead panel consists of control and monitoring panels for aircraft
systems. A standby compass is installed at the lower end. Loudspeakers

30.01.2006 B-0.5-9
Fokker 50 Aircraft General OM – Part B
Rev.: 014
and jack panels are installed in the flight deck ceiling next to the
overhead panel.
- The pedestal contains controls for engine power, flap position, trim
setting, flight control lock, and alternate landing gear operation. Panels
are installed for communication, navigation, weather radar, flight deck
lighting, autopilot control and system tests.
- The side panels contain tillers for nose-wheel steering, various controls
for ventilation, and switches for the pilots' heated seat cushions. An
alternate brake handle, a parking brake handle, and a towing switch are
installed at the captain's side only.

Panels located at the flight deck but mainly for use by the maintenance crew
are:
- The maintenance and test panel, located at the avionics rack on the RH
side of the flight deck entrance.
- The circuit breaker panel, located behind the F/0's seat.
- The AC/DC circuit breaker panel, located at the electrical power center
on the LH side of the flight deck entrance.
The layout of the maintenance and test panel and the circuit breaker panels
is shown in section MISCELLANEOUS.
Annunciator Lights
Annunciator lights are located at the overhead panel, the main instrument
panel, the glare shield and the pedestal. The general concept of the use of
annunciator lights is that during normal continuous operation all lights are out
(blank). Correct operation of red and amber lights can be tested by the pilots.
See INTEGRATED ALERTING SYSTEM. All other annunciators are tested
from the maintenance and test panel.
Switches
Lighted push buttons are installed primarily at the overhead panel. In addition
to the switch function, most push buttons annunciate system status in
accordance with the general annunciator concept. If an amber light comes on
(FAULT. INOP), the push button must be depressed for corrective action. If a
push button is not correctly set or is operated due to a normal or abnormal
procedure, a white (OFF, MAN, ALTN, BACKUP, FLDK, CANCEL, ON) or
blue (ON) light illuminates. Exceptions are described in the relevant section.
Some push buttons are equipped with a transparent guard to prevent
inadvertent operation.
Some guards are sealed.
Toggle switches are selected ON when swept to the top of the relevant panel
(except as stated in note below). Some toggle switches are equipped with a
guard or lock to prevent inadvertent operation. Rotary selectors are used

B-0.5-10 30.01.2006
OM – Part B Aircraft General Fokker 50
Rev.: 014
when three or more detented positions are required. The selector knob
serves as a pointer on a scale. Normally the knob is in the upright position.
NOTE: Pay attention that direction of toggle switch operation for
Battery Switch and External lights/Cabins Signs panel
switches are different for a/c version.

Ventilation and Heating


Conditioned air is routed to window demisters, ceiling, floor and side wall
outlets, and adjustable louvres which are located next to each pilot's main
instrument panel. A fresh air scoop is installed at each side panel for
ventilation during non-pressurized flight.
Windows
When the aircraft is not pressurized, the direct-vision windows can be
opened by raising the lock handles and pulling the windows inward. The
sliding windows can be opened by rotating the lock handles rearward, and
then sliding the windows rearward with the operating handles. The sliding
windows lock handles are located below the windows.
Flight Deck Door
The door opens into the cabin. The door lock can be operated from the flight
deck by a thumb turn and from the cabin by a key. It is possible to lock the
door in the open position. A door viewer is installed to allow observation of
the cabin area.
Stowage
Each side console provides space for a manual and/or a handbook, and a
flight kit. Sunvisors are stowed behind the Copilot seat. A cup holder and an
ashtray are installed for each pilot and an observer. Spare bulbs are stowed
in the captain's side console. Locking pins and pilot head covers are stowed
In a box located in the passenger stairway. Two checklist holders are
installed on the flight deck side wall panels.
Emergency Equipment
For location and use of emergency equipment in the flight deck, see section
10 SURVIVAL & EMERGENCY EQUIPMENT.

The entries and exits to the aircraft comprise four doors;
- a passenger door on the forward LH side;
- a cargo door on the forward RH side;
- a cargo door on the aft RH side;
- a galley service door on the aft LH side.
Locking and Unlocking
All doors can be opened and closed from the inside or from the outside.
From inside, the doors can be locked and unlocked with door handles which
must be turned 180 degrees. A closed door is locked when the door handle
points in direction of flight. Black-and-yellow marks at the latches provide for
verification.
From outside, each door can be locked and unlocked with a door handle
which must be turned approximately 150 degrees. The handle, flush with the
skin of the door, pops out when an integrated PUSH button is depressed.
Instructions to lock or unlock the doors are printed on the outside and on the
inside of the doors. Normal and emergency instructions are identical.
Indications
Indications of open doors are presented at the Central Annunciator Panel
(CAP) for:
- the passenger door (PAX DOOR);
- the forward cargo door (FWD CARGO);
- any of the aft doors (AFT DOORS).
The lights are white and operate independent of the integrated alerting
system. An alert will be presented when any of the doors is not locked, either
engine is running, and the parking brake is released.

Passenger Door Stairway


The passenger door, which is equipped with an integral stairway and two
folding handrails, opens downwards. When unlocked, the door opens under
its own weight. The door is retracted electrically. Controls to close the door,
to stop the downward movement and to resume the downward movement,
are located at two panels near the door, one inside the cabin and the other
outside, flush with the fuselage, to the left of the door. If external power is not
available the door can be operated by battery power. It is possible to raise
the door manually if no electric power is available.

Aircraft Lighting systems


Aircraft Lighting systems controlled from the flight deck are:
- Exterior lighting;
- Flight deck lighting;
- Emergency lighting.

Exterior Lighting
Exterior lighting systems are controlled from the LIGHTS panel, located at
the overhead panel, and comprise landing lights, a taxi light, wing-inspection
lights, anti-collision lights, navigation lights, strobe lights, and logo lights. Two
fixed landing lights are installed in the wing leading edge, each containing an
anti-glare grille to shield the flight deck from the glare of the light. A taxi light
is mounted on the nose landing-gear strut. The light will be inoperative when
the nose gear is retracted. Two wing-inspection lights are installed on the
outboard side of the engine cowlings to illuminate the outer wing leading
edges. Anti-collision lights are installed. Navigation lights are installed in the
LH wing tip (red), in the RH wing tip (green) and in the tail cone (white).
During ground operations with the towing switch on, these lights come on
irrespective of the position of the NAV lights switch. White strobe lights are
installed next to the navigation lights in the wing tips. Logo lights are installed
in the top surfaces of the horizontal stabilizers.

Flight Deck Lighting


Right deck lighting systems, which are controlled from the FLIGHT DECK
lighting panel at the pedestal, include dome, flight deck flood, panel,
instrument, and annunciator lights. Chart holder lights, reading lights, and
side panel lights are also installed. A dome light for general flight deck
illumination is located aft of the overhead panel. Right deck flood lighting is
provided to illuminate all flight deck panels, and can be controlled between
off and fully bright. The flood light is integrated in the dome light assembly,
but control is independent of dome light switching. Overhead panel, glare
shield, pedestal, and the instruments at the main instrument panel are
provided with integral lighting. The main instrument panel is illuminated by a
dimmable flood light Each panel can be independently controlled.
Annunciator-light brightness is controlled by one dim/bright selector. Those
lights which are normally blank have two brightness levels: dim and bright.
See also INTEGRATED ALERTING SYSTEM. All other lights have six
brightness levels three dim and three bright. The maximum brightness levels
is the reset position (RST). When electrical power is applied to the aircraft

30.01.2006 B-0.5-29
Fokker 50 Aircraft General OM – Part B
Rev.: 014
the lights come on fully bright, irrespective of selector position. RST resets
the selector for brightness control.
NOTE: A STORM p/b located on the LIGHTS panel is provided to override the
individual controls. When depressed, flight deck flood, main instrument panel
flood, and the lighted annunciator lights, will come on fully bright regardless of
annunciator brightness selector position.
Two chart holder lights, one at each control wheel, can be controlled
individually by a knob on top of each chart holder. Three reading lights, which
are installed next to the overhead panel, provide captain, first officer, and
observer with local illumination. The lights have integrated controls. Each
side panel light is controlled by a selector located at the side panel.

Emergency Lighting

The system includes standby and emergency lights. An emergency-lights


selector with OFF, ARMED, and ON positions, is located at the overhead
panel. Standby lights are installed in the toilet compartment, in the exit signs,
and in the passenger compartment The standby lights in the toilet
compartment and in the exit signs come on when the emergency-lights
selector Is set to ARMED, and DC power is available; they remain on during
flight. The standby lights in the passenger compartment come on
automatically, when DC power is available and the emergency lights selector
is in the ARMED position, when AC power is not available. Emergency lights,
powered by emergency power packs, are installed at the flight deck, toilet
compartment, passenger compartment, exit signs, floor proximity escape
path, and externally near the exits. Automatic activation occurs if EMER DC
bus No. 2 is not powered (battery off or run down) and the emergency-lights
selector is in the ARMED position. The emergency lights can be manually
switched on at the flight deck via the emergency-lights selector on the
overhead panel, or via a guarded emergency-lights switch at the attendant's
panel.

2.2 NORMAL HANDLING


2.2.1 PRE-FLIGHT (1 hr – 35 min before ETD)

2.2.1.1 Readiness Assessment and Decision-Making


Decision-making is a process to evaluate the conditions of particular flight
and to make all necessary arrangements to complete the flight safely and
on time. Both pilots shall be involved into the process but final responsibility
lies with the Commander.
During the process the flight crew should evaluate and make decision
about usability of the aerodromes, readiness of the crew and aircraft, using
the following steps:
1. NOTAMs related to the flight;
2. Weather related to the flight;
3. Alternates selection;
4. The aircraft technical status;
5. Expected deviations from the normal procedures;
6. Fuel required.
After completion of the Decision making all necessary arrangements (fuel,
de-icing, limitations etc.) shall be reported to Movement Control Center
(MCC) or ground handling personnel.
The reason and expected time of delay shall be as soon as possible
reported to MCC or ground handling personnel to provide all necessary
actions.
In case of short turn-around the decision making process shall follow post-
flight crew actions execution.

1. NOTAMs
NOTAMs will give information about status of ground facilities, services and
restrictions in use of airspace for the aerodromes (departure, destination
and alternates) and routes to be flown. NOTAMs are presented in SAS RM
(Chapter NOTAM) and may be received via RODOS system or alternatively
from ATS office.
SNOWTAM is the specific NOTAM, which may be delivered in period from
October to April and related to runway conditions (snow, ice, etc). For
decoding see chapter METEOROLOGY in SAS RM.

30.01.2006 B-2.2.1-1
F-50 Normal procedures OM - Part B
Rev.: 014

2. The Weather
The weather at departure, destination and alternates aerodromes as well
as RW and flight conditions should be assessed related to:
- aircraft performance (see chapter 4 and RM chapter “GWC”), and
- aerodrome operating minimum.
Concerning aerodrome operating minimum the weather reports shall be
used as follows:
- Departure aerodrome - the latest actual weather;
- Destination / Alternate - weather forecast during period of ETA ±1 h.
If the weather forecast is not available or is not covering the ETA ± 1-hour
period - the airport shall be considered below the Planning Minima.
Weather reports are normally received via RODOS system or alternatively
from ATS. For decoding see chapter METEOROLOGY in SAS RM.
NOTE: General procedure for weather assessment is presented in Part A-8.1.6.
“Interpretation of meteorological information”.

3. Alternates selection
Alternate is an airport suitable in all respects (weather, runway, and
facilities) to complete the flight safely if the landing at the destination cannot
be accomplished due to weather or any other reason. Weather at Alternate
shall be equal or above the Planning Minimum for Alternate.
For the planning purposes the special Planning Minima shall be used. They
could be found in OM Part A, Ch. 8.1.2 and are as follows:
Planning Minima for Destination
Type of approach Planning Minimum
Precision RVR as for operating landing minimum
Non-precision RVR and ceiling ≥ landing minimum
Circling ≥ Circling minimum
Planning Minima for Alternate
Type of approach Planning Minimum
Cat 2 RVR as for Cat 1 operating minimum
Cat 1 RVR and ceiling ≥ landing minimum for
Non-precision
Non-precision RVR and ceiling ≥ landing minimum for
Non-precision plus 200’ / 1000 m.
Circling ≥ Circling minimum

B-2.2.1-2 30.01.2006
OM - Part B Normal procedures F-50
Rev.: 014

• Take-off Alternate (OM Part A, 8.1.3.3.)


If take-off is to be executed in weather conditions below the landing
minimum at the aerodrome of departure, take-off alternate shall be selected
within one hour flight range with one inoperative engine.

• Destination Alternate (OM Part A, 8.1.2 and 8.1.7.4.)


The number of alternates required depends on the weather at Destination.

• If weather at Destination is below Planning Minimum for Destination,


two Destination Alternates are required.
• If weather at Destination is ≥ Planning Minimum for Destination,
one Destination Alternate is required.
• If there is no Destination Alternate available, the flight may be
conducted
without Destination Alternate, provided criteria prescribed in OM Part
A, chapter 8.1.7.4 are met.

4. The aircraft technical status


Aircraft equipment, necessary for intended flight / operations shall be
operative before departure. The Technical Department is responsible for
maintaining an aircraft in good technical order.
The Flight Crew shall evaluate the aircraft technical status before the flight,
presented on the Information desk in the Movement Control Center.
CAUTION: Performance limits, reduction of MTOW, RNAV compliance
shall be checked in respect to opened MEL items.

5. Expected deviations from the normal procedures


The conditions, causing deviation from normal procedures, shall be
evaluated from all aspects.

6. Fuel Required
In respect to above mentioned assessments the block fuel can be
determined as sum of the “minimum required” fuel (calculated by RODOS
system) and extra fuel requested by the Commander. Economy tankage
should be adhered to, but shall never be in conflict with the safety and
punctuality of the flight. Chapter 5 presents additional information.

- MSA, if engine failure, to be reached with a final speed of V CLEAN;
- Expected departure route (SID), setting of NAVAIDS.
- Any technical items INOP.
The extent of take-off briefing depends on weather conditions, aircraft
equipment, condition of ground facilities, SID to be flown and crew
experience. If both pilots are familiar with the airport, term “short briefing”
may be used with the consent of the Commander. However, at least the
following items shall be covered:
- Power and Flap settings;
- Continued take-off with engine failure;
- MSA.

2.2.3 START-UP (doors are closed – engines started)


As soon as airplane doors are closed the Commander calls: “starting
checklist”. Make sure the parking brakes are ON before engine start. After
approval has been obtained from ATC and ground personnel, the engines
are started, the left-hand engine normally first. Then the GPU is
disconnected, after removal of the GPU the right-hand engine is started.
The Commander, who should also handle communication with the ground
personnel, starts the engines. Both pilots should maintain a listening watch
with the ground personnel until both engines have stabilised.

2.2.3.1. Normal Starts


Engine start with GPU
Check GPU is On. Either engine could be started as confirmed from the
ground.

Engine start with Generator


Check Generator of started engine is on line before GPU disconnection.

Engine start with batteries (no GPU available)


Either engine could be started from batteries.

2.2.3.2 Alternate start


(Engine start with a/c batteries / DC –ground power)
The first engine will be started with battery power only. When the first
engine has started, the generator will feed all buses, so starting the second
engine will be with generator power. Follow the normal engine start
procedure as described.
With BAT PWR ONLY the ERP will be in GA and the CAP will show an
ERP FAULT indication. When the generator comes on line the ERP will
automatically reset to T/O and the fault indication will disappear.

Select back-up mode to verify oil pressure on CAP. During start of first
engine only NH and ITT are active. After generator online – normal
indication of engine instruments.

2.2.4. TAXI-OUT (off chocks – holding point)


2.2.4.1. PUSH-BACK, PULL-OUT
Check whether pushback or pullout will occur before or after engine start.
Engine starting may be performed before, during, or after pushback. AC
power from a ground power unit and/or an engine driven generator should
normally be available throughout the pushback procedure. If a ground
power unit is used for starting, the engine(s) are started before pushback or
pullout. Confirm parking-brake position before and after the procedure.
Communication should be established with the ground crew. Do not
oppose or hold the nose-wheel steering tiller during pushback or pullout.
Beacon and navigation lights should be ON at all times during pushback
and towing.
When Towing, LP should be ready to apply brakes and stop the aircraft, in
case of tow-bar failure / disconnect.

2.2.4.2. TAXIING
Make sure the parking brake is ON and advise ground engineer to remove
the chocks. At certain airports chocks are removed prior to engine start.
Complete the AFTER START CHECK. Then request taxi clearance and
await ”All Clear” signal. Switch on the taxi-light. Before releasing the
parking brake both pilots should confirm that the area around the aircraft is
free from obstacles, the right pilot checks the right side and confirms
”Right Side Free”.
Advance the power levers slowly to commence rolling and check the
brakes without stopping. When clear of obstacles perform the TAXI
CHECK. Before bringing the aircraft to a stop centre the nose wheel. At an
aft CG, nose wheel load is low and, consequently, nose-wheel steering is
light. On slippery surfaces large tiller deflections may cause noose wheel
skidding. If this occurs, decrease the steering angle and use asymmetric
engine power for turning.
To increase nose-wheel steering effectiveness in strong crosswind
conditions, load the aircraft to obtain forward CG. When taxiing asymmetric
engine power may be necessary to keep the aircraft straight. Do not taxi
out on one engine during normal operations.
NOTE: Under strong wind conditions and ground idle selected, the
ventilation of the engine hot section area may be reduced. In some
cases this may lead to a temperature rise above the level for activation

01.08.2003 B-2.2.4-1
F-50 Normal procedures OM - Part B
Rev.: 009
of the engine fire warning. A slight increase of NH will improve the
ventilation. Based on the above, the following is advised:
During prolonged taxiing with ground idle and tailwind exceeding 20kt,
increase the NH with 1 to 2% (keep NP below 65%). Avoid prolonged
holding for take-off with the wind directed into the exaust. If such a
prolonged holding can not be avoided, increase NH with 1 to 2%. NP
should be kept below 65% for propeller for propeller stress reasons.

2.2.4.3. POWER-BACK
Whenever the power-back is required, observe the following:
− Power-back manoeuvring may only be performed under
supervision of ground marshaller;
− Remove your feet from the pedals, before applying reverse
power;
− To start backward movement, smoothly apply reverse power;
− To control the speed of taxi, operate power levers only;
− For directional control use only tiller steering;
− To stop the aircraft, apply positive power;
− After stopping, set parking brake and wait for clearance from
ground crew before commencing taxi.
CAUTION: Do not use brakes at any time. Sudden brake application
while rolling backwards may cause the tail to touch the
ground.
2.2.4.4. Maneuvering
Taxi speed should be determined by the LP to avoid collision with any
obstacle(s) / object(s) and achieve safe stop, if required.
To ensure safe maneuvering during tight turns low speed should be
maintained. Asymmetric braking and thrust also can be used. For
description of turning radii refer to Section 0.5 of this manual.

2.2.4.5. Altimeter Setting and Checking


Prior to each flight all altimeters should be set and checked for accuracy,
see OM Part A Ch. 8.3.3:
• The airfield QNH pressure shall be set on all three altimeters.
• Compare the altitude readouts and the aerodrome (aircraft actual
position) elevation within the limit of 50 ft
• Crosscheck a difference between all three altimeter readouts is not
more than 50 ft
• Set the altimeter bugs against the arrows.

2.2.5. TAKE-OFF (holding point – clean configuration)

2.2.5.1. General
Take-off shall never be initiated in conditions beyond any operational
limitations presented in respective chapters:
 aeroplane technical status/conditions,
 weather and runway conditions (sec.2.4 and 2.5).
 aeroplane take-off performance (see Ch 4 and RM, GWC).

2.2.5.2. Flaps/Power setting


Take-off flaps position
Flap setting shall be separately computed in each case and is included in
Gross Weight Chart. Standard flaps for take-off is 5. Flaps 15 is used for
shorter runways, and also recommended for T/O from contaminated
runways.

Power setting
TO mode shall be selected on ERP (except for EEC inoperative
procedure). Obtain required torque for take-off from Normal checklist or
Quick Reference Handbook (QRH). Enter the table with pressure altitude
and ambient temperature.

2.2.5.3. Speeds Setting


Set the speed bugs as follows: V2; VFLAP Up ; VCLEAN. The speeds should be
set according to airBaltic Sped Book for actual take-off weight and flap
setting.

30.01.2006 B-2.2.5-1
F-50 Normal procedures OM - Part B
Rev.: 014

2.2.5.4. Take-Off methods


ROLLING TAKEOFF
A rolling takeoff is recommended, whenever possible.
The rolling takeoff may be started upon entering the runway. Power should
not be increased before the aircraft is lined up, as any acceleration out of a
turn or combination of high power setting and braking should be avoided.

STATIC TAKEOFF
A static takeoff shall be performed under the following conditions:
 Actual TOW is close to limiting MTOW for runway length or obstacle
 Tailwind takeoff
 Contaminated runway
 Reduced braking action
The aircraft shall be lined up, brought to a stop and the power levers should
if friction permits be set to approximately 80% before releasing the brakes.

CROSSWIND TAKE-OFF
Crosswind take-off capability is good. The upwind wing will have a
tendency to rise, and aileron deflection must be applied towards the wind. If
the wings are kept in level during the take-off, directional control is
maintained as during normal take-off. As the speed increases, the aileron
deflection requirement will decrease. The main objective is to keep the
wings level. Maintain a slight forward pressure on the control column until
rotation. After lift-off, rudder and aileron control should be smoothly
released and the aircraft crabbed into wind.

TAILWIND TAKE-OFF
10 Kts is tailwind component limit (see GWC).

Rev.: 014

2.2.5.5. Maneuvering
No turn below 500 feet AGL, if not otherwise stated in SID.
o
Normally a bank angle of 25 shall not be exceeded, if not otherwise stated
in SID.
O
Maximum allowed bank angle is 30
O O
Maximum bank angle at V2 and VCLEAN is 15 . For bank angles of 15-30 ,
increase respective speed by 10 KIAS.
O
Do not exceed 15 nose up attitude.
NOTE: Rotation of take-off attitude should take approximately 3
seconds. Too fast rotation may result in the tail touching the
runway. Following the correct rotation the speed at lift-off is
normally slightly above V2.
Acceleration Altitude: Company standard is 1000 ft AGL (if not specified by
GWC, but never below 400 ft AGL).

2.2.5.7. Crew Co-ordination

Line-up
During taxi the take-off data for actual runway/conditions should be quickly
reachable to approve or reject take-off from intersection, which may be
offered by ATC.

When line-up clearance is received, taxi into takeoff position at the end of
the runway or at other approved takeoff point. Align the aircraft on or close
to the runway centerline before applying power. Complete “Line-up”
checklist, shortly before entering the runway.
When lining up in takeoff position on the runway L/P confirms runway
heading to correspond with compasses or visual markings and checks
takeoff data to be valid for actual runway and takeoff position by calling out
”Runway Heading”. R/P confirms by calling ”Checked, Torque . . . .”. L/P
will turn on the landing lights when takeoff clearance is received for
recognition and prevention of bird impact.
Check Flight Director is set to GA, HDG and ASEL modes, and first

2.2.6. CLIMB (clean configuration – FL reaching)

2.2.6.1. Division of Duties


During climb duties of the crewmembers are divided into PF and PNF
according to the Crew Co-ordination Concept see OM Part A Chapter 8.0.

2.2.6.2. Navigation
Conventional NAV aids for non-RNAV navigation (VOR, DME, NDB) should
be used for navigation in Terminal Area (TMA) or R/V (vectoring) shall be
requested. Use of FMS/GPS as a primary source for SID execution is not
approved.

Vertical navigation requirements normally are included in the SID


description. Minimum climb gradient (if indicated) shall be maintained.
Failure to maintain the gradient shall be reported to controller.
Adherence to published altitude crossing and speeds restrictions is
mandatory unless otherwise cleared.

2.2.6.3. Speeds / Power Setting

Speeds
To accelerate to climb speed, maintain approximately 8° pitch. Normal
climb speed is 160 kt. Alternate climb speeds are between 140 kt and 180
kt. Max R/C speed is approximately 140 kt. In icing conditions maintain
minimum 160 kt. If climb speed is reduced below 140kt a rather
pronounced propeller induced airframe vibration will occur.

Approaching assigned Altitude/FL (1 000 to go) the maximum of 1000


ft/min rate of climb should not be exceeded to prevent altitude deviation
and for passengers comfort.

Do not operate AP pitch wheel when ASEL mode is active.

NOTE: Remember, that the final acceptance of ATC clearance to deviate from
published SID lies with the Commander, provided obstacle clearance criteria,
airplane limitations and operational conditions are taken into account.

Power
After selection of CLB power on ERP check:
- NP………85%
- Torque….BUG

2.2.6.4. Altimeters Setting


Standard pressure (1013.25 HPa) shall be set and cross-checked on both
primary pressure altimeters during climb, when cleared to FL but not later
than passing Transition Altitude.
For maximum acceptable differences between altimeters see OM-A, 8.3.3.

2.2.6.5. Auto Flight

AP may be engaged above 400 ft usually in clean configuration.

The AFCS is used in the NAV mode to intercept and track the required
VOR-radial or in the HDG mode. Use IAS mode to maintain the required
climb speed. Check ASEL mode armed.
For more detailed information see AOM “System operation” section.

2.2.7. CRUISE (FL reaching – FL leaving)

2.2.7.1. Division of Duties


During the cruise, duties of the crewmembers are divided as PF and PNF
according to the Crew Co-ordination Concept (see OM Part A Chapter 8.0).

2.2.7.2. Navigation
For route flying use FMS/GPS and verify the airplane position using other
navigation sources such as VOR, DME, NDB along the route.
If there is doubt about actual airplane position, do not hesitate to request
assistance from ATS.

2.2.7.3. Speeds / Power Setting


After reaching cruise speed, select cruise power on the ERP. Do not
exceed VMO when cruising at low altitude. Specific fuel consumption
improves with increasing altitude. For fuel economy the highest possible
cruise level should be selected. Cost per flight hour may dictate lower
cruise level. Highest speed is obtained at FL 170.

01.02.2004 B-2.2.7-1
F-50 Normal procedures OM - Part B
Rev.: 010

2.2.7.4. Fuel Management


Fuel consumption shall be monitored through the flight by verifying actual
and in Flight Plan calculated fuel figures at suitable points along the route.
Fuel checks should be performed after 1 hour of flight time and thereafter
at approx 30 min intervals, as well as before descent during the approach
briefing. Deviations from pre-calculated fuel figures should be noted.
If the amount of usable fuel is decreased by any reason and the flight is
diverted, for replanning see Section 5, Flight Planning.

2.2.7.5. Auto Flight

Autopilot (AP). The AP shall be switched ON, if operative.


For more detailed information see AOM “System operation” section.

2.2.8. DESCENT (FL leaving – cleared for approach)

2.2.8.1. Division of Duties


During descent duties of the crewmembers are divided as PF and PNF
according to the Crew Co-ordination Concept (see OM Part A Chapter 8.0).

2.2.8.2. Navigation
Conventional NAV aids for non-RNAV navigation (VOR, DME, NDB) should
be used for navigation in Terminal Area (TMA) or R/V (vectoring) shall be
requested.. Use of FMS/GPS as a primary source for STAR execution is
not approved.
Adherence to published altitude crossing and speeds restrictions is
mandatory unless cleared otherwise.
NOTE: Remember, that the final acceptance of ATC clearance to deviate from
published STAR lies with the Commander, provided obstacle clearance criteria,
airplane limitations and operational conditions are taken into account.

2.2.8.3. Speeds / Power Setting


At top of descent point select VS mode with 1000 ft/min R/D. While
maintaining cruise power increase speed to VMO/ 220 kt. When reaching
this speed select IAS mode and reduce torque to approx 40% for a R/D of
1500 ft/min. Adjust R/D compatible with distance to go by adjusting torque.
For descent planning use the following table:

Speed (kt) Torque % R/D ft/min


220 60 500
220 50 1000
220 40 1500
220 25 2000
220 Flight Idle 3000
160 35 0
160 20 500
160 Flight Idle 1500
VS mode may be used for descent all the time, maintain VMO/ 220 kt by
torque adjustments.
For descent planning use 5 nm/1000 ft above FL 200 and 3 nm/1000 ft
below FL 200.

15.08.2004 B-2.2.8-1
F-50 Normal procedures OM - Part B
Rev.: 011
Cruising altitude should be maintained as long as possible. A number of
factors affect the top of descent point.
- Flight level and airport elevation (initial approach altitude).
- Conditions during descent (wind, icing, turbulence).
- Weather at destination and alternate (visual or instrument
approach).
- ATC requirements.
- Terminal area procedures and runway in use.
To reduce speed or to increase rate of descent R/D in a high and close
situation, reduce power to flight idle. When reaching the desired speed or
altitude increase power. Confirm arming ASEL mode to level off at
assigned level or altitude. At approx. 10 000 ft or when cleared below
transition altitude complete the APPROACH CHECK.
Approaching assigned Altitude/FL (1 000 to go) the maximum of 1000
ft/min rate of climb should not be exceeded to prevent altitude deviation
and for passengers comfort.
NOTE: For Vertical Speed limitations see OM-A, 8.3.19.

2.2.8.4. Altimeters Setting


QNH (QFE in exceptional cases) should be set on altimeter pressure
scales during descent, when cleared to Altitude, but not later than passing
Transition Level (TL).
For Altimeters Setting Procedure see OM Part A Ch. 8.3.3.

2.2.8.5. Auto Flight


Flight Director (FD) shall be used as discussed above and followed.
Autopilot (AP) engagement is highly recommended for the flight in the
areas of intensive traffic and during Checklist execution.
For more detailed information see AOM “System operation” section.

2.2.8.6. Holding
The recommended holding speed is VREF 25 + 50. Use AFCS HDG mode
and ALT mode. To descend in a holding pattern, select IAS mode and
reduce power. To level off again, select ASEL mode.
For holding procedures flying see SAS RM Rules and Regulations Ch. 15.

OM - Part B Normal procedures F-50
Rev.: 011

2.2.8.7. Approach Briefing


The purpose of the approach briefing is to be well prepared for an
approach to land on the assigned RW. The PF should conduct the briefing
in good time before commencing the approach, normally about 5 minutes
prior to descent. The following shall be considered:
− Actual weather for destination;
− Weather and Fuel requirements for alternate;
− RW-in-use;
− Type of approach, use of AFCS modes;
− Nav aids frequencies and settings;
− Initial routing and altitude, OM;
− Threshold elevation;
− MSA;
− Minimum and Missed approach procedure;
− Landing Weight / Speeds;
− Any technical INOP items;
− RW vacation and taxi route.
The volume of the approach briefing depends on weather conditions,
aircraft equipment and ground facilities available, STAR to be flown, Crew
experience. Deviation from the SOPs shall be mentioned separately.
If both pilots are well familiar with the airport the term “short briefing” may
be used. At least following items shall be covered:
− RW-in-use;
− Type of approach;
− Minimum and Missed approach procedure;
− MSA;
− Landing Weight / Speeds.
NOTE: 1) If observer has not been briefed before, he should be briefed on the
requirements of maintaining a sterile cockpit below 10 000’ as well as
operation of jumpseat, oxygen supply and cockpit evacuation procedures.
according to “Observer Safety Card” located behind LH seat.
2) For any significant changes during approach (weather, RW/ STAR etc.)
additional briefing should be conducted.
Approach briefing accomplishment shall normally be followed by “Descent”
checklist fulfillment.

2.2.9. APPROACH (cleared for approach – DA/DH)

2.2.9.1. General
Before commencing an approach to land, the Commander shall satisfy
himself that, according to the information available to him, the weather at
the aerodrome and the condition of the runway intended to be used should
not prevent a safe approach and landing.
All approaches should be flown in strict adherence to Standards specified
below if not specified otherwise by the local procedures.
If controller requests to keep specific speed / profile due to traffic,
remember, that the final acceptance of ATC clearance to deviate from
published procedure lies with the Commander, provided obstacles
clearance criteria, airplane limitation and operational conditions are taken
into account.
a) Approach Ban Rules
An instrument approach may be commenced regardless of the reported
RVR/Visibility*.
If reported RVR / Visibility* is less than the applicable minima, an
instrument approach shall nor be continued below an altitude when
decision to establish final approach configuration and speed shall be made:
 1500’ Radio Altitude for Cat2 approach. and
 1000’ to Minimum for all other approaches.
If the reported RVR/visibility* falls below the applicable minimum after that,
when final approach configuration and speed have been established, the
approach may be continued to DA/DH.
The approach may be continued below DA/DH and the landing may be
completed provided that the required visual reference is established and
maintained.
NOTE: RVR/visibility* - where RVR is not available, RVR values may
be derived by converting the reported visibility using the
following table:
RVR = Reported Met. Visibility x
Operational lighting elements
Day Night
HI approach and landing lights 1,5 2,0
Any other than above 1,0 1,5
No lighting 1,0 Not applicable

30.01.2006 B-2.2.9-1
F-50 Normal procedures OM - Part B
Rev.: 014
b) Stabilized Approach Concept
To ensure safe transition to visual flight and/or safe landing by decreasing
flight crew workload, aircraft and flight crew readiness for these critical
stages of the flight should be established and confirmed in advance. Use of
1000’ and 500’ Radio Height gates for that purpose is known as Stabilized
Approach Concept.
1’000 feet gate used for all types of Non-precision and CAT 2 approaches;
500 feet gate used for all other approaches.

An approach that is not stabilized or becomes unstabilized below 1000 /


500 RA feet requires an immediate go-around.

CRITERIA:
1. The aircraft is on correct flight path, flown at the desired approach
speed in the landing configuration. Only small changes in HDG, Pitch and
Thrust/Power are required to maintain these stabilized parameters.
Precision Max deviation from localizer and
approach glide slope – one dot.
Non-Precision
Flight Path Along the desired flight path
approach
Wings shall be level at/before 300
Circling
RA
Landing gear Down
Configuration
Flaps Landing Configuration

Speed Target speed – minus zero, plus 20Kts

Rate of descent Max 1 500 feet/min


2. The Flight Crew is fully ready for transition to visual flight and/or landing
– all briefings / checklists and other preparations have been completed.

B-2.2.9-2 30.01.2006
OM - Part B Normal procedures F-50
Rev.: 014

c) Transition to visual landing


Transition from instrument approach to visual landing shall be started not
later than at 100’ to Minimum and shall be accomplished not later than at
Minimum (DA/DH).
The approach may be continued below DA/DH and the landing may be
performed only if required visual reference is established and maintained.
At least one of the following visual references for the intended runway shall
be distinctly visible and identifiable to the pilot:
 Elements of the approach light system;
 The threshold;
 The threshold markings;
 The threshold lights;
 The threshold identification lights;
 The visual glide slope indicator;
 The touchdown zone or touchdown zone markings;
 The touchdown zone lights; or
 Runway edge lights.
d) Use of Altimeters
Non-precision + CAT 1 ILS - MINIMUMS are based on QNH and read on
the Pressure altimeter while the Radio altimeter DH selector will be set
on/below Zero feet to avoid all unnecessary warnings.
NOTE: As pressure altimeters are calibrated to indicate TRUE Altitude
under International Standard Atmosphere (ISA) conditions, all
crossing altitudes and minima shall be corrected for extreme
low ambient temperatures to maintain the desired Glide Slope /
Path and not violate the Minimum.
CAT 2 - MINIMUMS are based on Radio altimeter and the Decision Height
to be set on it (see Ch 2.4.4).
e) Use of Call-outs
Standard call-outs for approach are mandatory and given in respective
chapter below for particular type of approach.
If visual contact has been established by PF earlier during approach and
confirmed with the call-out “Contact”, transition call-outs should be omitted.

30.01.2006 B-2.2.9-3
F-50 Normal procedures OM - Part B
Rev.: 014

f) Speed settings
Speed bugs should be set as follows:
 Inner bug at VREF;
 One outer bug at VCLEAN;
 Second outer bug at 160 kt.

The Approach speed (VREF +10) should be corrected for wind including
gusts as follows:
 Wind up to 10 kt: ............................................................. no corrections;
 Wind and gust 10 to 20 kt: ........................................................add 5 kt;
 Wind and gusts more than 20 kt: ............................................add 10 kt.

2.2.9.2. Non-Precision Approach


A standard instrument approach in which no electronic glide slope is
provided e.g. LLZ, VOR, ASR or NDB.

General
For all types of non-precision approaches CANPA (Constant Angle Non-
Precision Approach) procedure shall be used. As no electronic glide slope
is available - desired Glide Path shall be established for particular approach
by means of a number of crossing altitude check points that normally are
given in appropriate tables on IAL chart plates.

Execution – Maximum use of automation is recommended.


Desired Glide Path shall be followed permanently by establishing required
vertical speed appropriate to Glide Path angle and aircraft ground speed
(vertical speed versus ground speed table is also given on IAL chart
plates).
Altitude checks shall be made passing crossing altitude check points and
vertical speed has to be adjusted respectively.
NOTE: All crossing altitudes and minima shall be corrected for extreme
low ambient temperatures to maintain the desired Glide Path
and not to violate the Minimum.
Transition from instrument approach to visual landing shall be made in the
same manner as for precision approach – during constant descent down to
the minimum (DA). If required visual contact has not been established upon
reaching the Minimum (DA), go-around shall be initiated immediately.

B-2.2.9-4 30.01.2006
OM - Part B Normal procedures F-50
Rev.: 014
NOTE: To avoid MDA penetration due to altitude loss during go-around
Minimum (normally equal to MDA) has been raised by 30’ feet
for constant rate of descent procedure.
As soon as visual contact is established, prompt actions have to be taken
to correct Glide Path using all available means (PAPI, VASIS, etc.).
Limitations:
 LNAV mode must not be used for an approach.
 The autopilot may remain engaged down to 300’ AGL.

1) DME Available
ALT versus DME table will be depicted in IAL chart.

Briefing
As this type of approach is used very rarely in day-to-day operations, more
detailed briefing should be completed covering procedure execution and
crew co-ordination.
All available means shall be used to ensure that TRUE Glide Path is
maintained and Minimum is not to violated:
 All crossing altitudes and minima shall be corrected for extreme low
ambient temperatures;
 1000’RA. Approach shall be stabilized. Pressure altimeter should be
checked for reliability and indicate: 1000’ + threshold elevation.

Initial Approach
Should be flown according to IAL chart using all available facilities with
particular caution not to violate any Minimum Safe Altitude.
All radio aids used for approach should be identified and set to utilize PFD, ND and
DBI in a more efficient manner.
The required QDM as a course on MSP should be set before the final turn.
Plan to establish on final not closer than about 3NM before the desired
Glide Path.

2.2.9.4. Visual Approach


An approach by an IFR flight when either part or all of instrument approach
procedure is not completed and the approach is executed in visual
reference to terrain.
a) Visual approach clearance and separation.
 Clearance for visual approach could be given when the pilot reports at
any time during instrument approach that the meteorological
conditions are such that allows visual reference without interruption
to complete entire visual approach and landing.
 Separation during approach to be provided by the controller unless
pilot reported the preceding traffic inside and are cleared to maintain
“Own separation”.
LIMITATION: Own separation procedure is prohibited at night.

b) Main rules that shall be followed


 The entire instrument approach procedure shall be executed unless
the clearance for a visual approach is received.
 Aeroplane shall not be flown below 3 degrees prolonged glide path
 Approach shall be stabilized not later than at 500’RA.

B-2.2.9-20 30.01.2006
OM - Part B Normal procedures F-50
Rev.: 014

c) Main rules that should be followed


 Instrument approach facilities (non-visual aids such as an ILS, VOR,
DME, NDB etc) as back up for the visual approach should be used, if
available.
 It is recommended to switch off AP/FD (STBY mode on FMP) and
complete the visual approach manually.
 point yourself to intercept inbound course at 1000’RA (3 NM from
threshold) to be stabilized at 500’RA.

Crew co-ordination
Within the limitations and recommendations presented the pilots are free to
choose the way in which the particular visual approach will be completed.
Concerning the methods and profile to execute particular visual approach:
 It is PF obligation to brief PM about it;
 It is responsibility of the Commander to accept it;
 It is responsibility of PM to assist PF in execution of it.

Normal Circuit
The procedure described below covers a complete visual circuit and
landing. This procedure normally is used for visual circuit during aerodrome
or simulator training flights.
In situations where a circuit is not required, altitude, configurations and
speeds should be adapted.
 Enter downwind at 1500 ft, speed 160 kt.
 Abeam runway midpoint select flaps 10.
 Abeam runway threshold, select landing gear down and start timing 30
sec plus or minus 1 sec/kts head-wind or tailwind component.
 When time is up, select flaps 25 and commence a descending turn to
base leg.
 Reduce to approx. 20% torque
 Complete before landing check
 Aim to be established on a 3° glide path at approx. 500 ft
 Reduce speed to cross the threshold at VREF

Rev.: 014

2.2.9.6. Circling
A special procedure to brake through the clouds using instrument approach
facilities for one runway accomplished with the visual phase to bring the
aircraft into position for landing on a runway which is not suitably located
for strait-in instrument approach. Will normally be flown whenever the
instrument approach facility does not serve the landing runway.

a) Planning
 Appointment of the Pilot Flying for the approach depends on the
circling direction, to have the runway in sight during the visual
maneuvering circling at all times.
 With a choice of circling directions, in crosswind conditions, circle on
the downwind side to reduce radius and ground speed in the final
turn.
 Normally circle with gear down and flaps 10° at speed 130 Kts, which
corresponds to Category B circling minima.

b) Execution
Instrument part of the approach
Should be flown according to appropriate instrument Precision / Non-
precision approach procedure (except for Landing Gear down callout) and
visual contact with the runway shall be established not later than leveling of
at MDA.

Use the Altitude Preselect to level off at MDA, then select the APA for Go-
around.
NOTE: During ILS approach the APP mode can be cancelled by
selecting HDG and VS modes, and A/C will intercept MDA pre-
selected on APA altitude.
The 45 and 30 seconds timing in procedure is given for still air. Reduce this
by 3 seconds per 10 Kts tailwind component.
Disconnect F/D and AP once the descent from MDA is initiated.
O
During final turn set the landing gear down and flaps 25 and establish final
speed to be stabilized on final not below 300’ RA.

2.2.10 Go-Around

2.2.10.1 General
Go-around is the only way to discontinue unsuccessful approach.
Go-around shall be initiated whenever pilot is not ensured that
continuation of approach and landing is safe. The following shall be
considered:
 Approach ban rules, if weather below Minimum;
 A/C is not stabilized at 500’ Radio Altitude;
 Visual contact is not established at DA / DH;
 Visual contact is lost below DA / DH;
 A/C position / movement relative to runway can not guarantee safe
landing;
 There are obstacles in the air or on the runway.
Go-around can be initiated by any pilot and at any moment during
approach and landing.
CAUTION: If Go-around is initiated after passing Missed Approach
Point (MAPt) in IMC conditions, the minimum obstacle
clearance could not be always assured and Climb out
Procedure rather than Missed Approach Procedure for
appropriate runway should be flown.

NOTE: In case of smoke or fire it is at Commander’s discretion either


to continue the approach and landing or start a go-around.

NOTE: In case of a go-around with one ENG EC in MAN, anticipate


power lever stagger and avoid overtorque.

Maneuvering

No turns below 500’ AGL if not otherwise stated in the RM.


Max bank angle at V2 and VCLEAN is 15°.

2.2.11. LANDING (DA/DH – runway vacating)


2.2.11.1. General
In this chapter only DRY and WET runway conditions are considered.
For the Contaminated / Low friction runway see ch. 2.5.2.
The following considerations concerning landing on particular runway shall
be applied during approach preparation:
1) Aeroplane landing performance.
2) Method and technique to be used (see Landing execution below).

2.2.11.2. Landing performance


Landing performance in particular weather and runway conditions could be
limited by Max Landing Weight (MLW) and / or Landing Distance Required
(LDR).
To ensure landing performance limitations are not exceeded, GWC shall be
consulted (SAS RM, GWC, p. 9.4).
CAUTION: If any of the system/function which affects the landing
distance is inoperative or not used, due account shall be
taken calculating LDR.

Limitations
Landing performance could be limited with the weather and runway
conditions.
To ensure directional control during ground roll the Crosswind limitations
shall be applied. For crosswind component diagram see SAS RM GWC or
Normal Checklist p. 11.

30.01.2006 B-2.2.11-1
F-50 Normal procedures OM - Part B
Rev.: 014

2.2.11.3. Landing Execution

General for PF / LP (speed below 60 kts)


 Cross the runway threshold at approx. 50 ft and at VREF;
 Flare to a slightly nose-up attitude and retard power levers smoothly to
flight idle. Do not prolong the flare;
 Normal touchdown speed is between VREF and VREF – 10 kt;
 After touchdown on the main wheels, gently lower the nose wheel;
 Initially keep the aircraft straight with rudder;
 Select ground idle and use reverse when required.
NOTE: 1. Do not select ground idle until nose wheel is on the ground
2. The rudder is not effective for directional control with reverse.
 At approx. 60 kt when PM calls ”60 knots” cancel reverse and release
the control column
 The PM selects TO at the ERP when ordered by PF
NOTE: Unless runway length is limiting it is recommended to cancel
reverse at 60 kt to reduce the probability of stone damage to
the propeller or fuselage and to improve directional control at
low speeds.
 Use nose-wheel steering for directional control
 The PM should hold the control column and the aileron into the wind
 Apply brakes until the speed is down to taxi speed
 RP selects flaps up when ordered, checks and reports: “Flaps are
up” LP locks the flight controls. RP performs the after landing check.

Cross-wind Landing
 On final approach maintain runway alignment by crabbing into the
wind
 When crossing the threshold, apply rudder to align the aircraft with the
runway centre line and bank into the wind to counteract drift (3 - 5
deg bank angle)
 Do not delay touchdown after de-crabbing is completed
 After landing keep straight initially with rudder and counteract the
tendency of the upwind wing to lift by decisive use of aileron
 If reverse is required, apply reverse slowly and symmetrically. If
problems with directional control reduce reverse or select ground
idle.

B-2.2.11-2 30.01.2006
OM - Part B Normal procedures F-50
Rev.: 014
CAUTION: Too high landing speed will result in extra landing distance
and may case the nose gear touchdown before the main
gear. Low landing speed may result in a rough landing.

2.2.11.4. Braking
It is assumed that brakes on landing are applied immediately after the nose
wheel is lowered to the runway. If anti-skid system is operative, brakes
could be used by application of maximum positive pressure on brake
pedals to obtain maximum stopping capability.
However for operation from the long runways when Landing Distance is not
a limiting factor, it is recommended to use the brakes as follows:
− Postpone brakes application until aeroplane decelerates down to
a lower speed;
− Plan to slow down to a taxi speed by the place when the runway
should be vacated with one steady application of brakes;
− rate of deceleration should be “comfortable” for passengers
without skidding effect;
CAUTION: 1. If the runway to be vacated at the very end, brakes
effectiveness shall be checked earlier during ground roll.
2. Do not aim to make short landing or vacate the runway
at a high speed if it could be easily done using next runway
exit.
3. Use of ruder due to X-wind and slippery RW could cause
asymmetric breaking. Nose wheel tiller control is highly
recommended during braking in mentioned condition.

2.2.11.5. Runway vacating


The airplane has to be decelerated to safe taxi speed before turning off the
runway.
CAUTION: Excessive speed could lead to extra load on landing gear,
inconvenient skidding effect.

Accomplishment of the items on the After Landing Checklist should wait


until the runway is vacated.

Right Pilot is responsible for looking out and informing on any obstacles /
objects, particularly on the right side of the a/c.

Before right turn, entering, crossing taxiway or runway Right Pilot observes
and calls out: “Right side free”

2.2.12.2 Parking
The aeroplane is to be parked with assistance of the guide man or
mechanical devices such as mirror or light combinations. Do not taxi into an
area bordered by safety lines without positive guidance from a marshal or
signal device.
Before stopping the aeroplane, center the nose wheel and taxi
straightforward a short distance to relieve side loads on the nose landing
gear.
For main docking systems description see SAS RM Legends Ch 2. If you
do not recognize a docking system or there are doubts how to use it, do not
hesitate to request marshal.

2.4.7 Documentation Appendices
2.4.1. Low Visibility Procedure (LVP)
LVP is initiated by ATC when the weather deteriorates below established
parameters (usually 200’/800m) to provide the following:
 The information to flight crews about the weather and status of the
ground facilities;
 The OFZ (Obstacle Free Zone) will be clear of obstacles such as
vehicles and aircraft;
 The ILS sensitive area will be clear of all vehicles and aircraft capable
of causing reflection and/or refraction of signals;
 Safeguarding actions of maneuvering area (runways, taxiways, apron
areas), provide protection of maneuvering areas from uncontrolled
traffic;
 Increased minimum separation between aircraft during approach.
2.4.2. Taxi
In addition to basic procedures for taxi (see page 4 of 2.1) the following
should be considered.
 Use utmost care to taxi according to issued clearance with an airport
map available in the chart holder on the steering wheel.
 Do not hesitate to request from ATC the positions of other taxiing
aircraft or to ask for a “follow me” car.
 Taxi as slowly as necessary for safety. Bear in mind that poorly lit
obstacle such as aircraft tails or wing tips and their navigation lights
from certain angles do not show up well.
 Taxi check to be performed with the aircraft stopped at the holding
area.
 Always confirm an authorization to cross a red stop-bar when it is lit.

2.4.3. Low Visibility Take-Off


Low Visibility Take-Off (LVTO) – a take-off where the Runway Visual Range
(RVR) is less than 400 m, and Low visibility procedures are in force.
Before commencing a LVTO the Commander shall satisfy himself that:
 Appropriate Low Visibility Procedures are in force according to
information received from Air Traffic Services;
 Both pilots are qualified for LVTO;
 LVTOs are the part of Cat 2 training. LVTO qualification is attained and
maintained together with Cat 2 qualification (see below);
 Check CAT 2/3 RATING forms;
 Take-off alternate is selected and reported to ATS;
 The weather is not below the Take-off Minima;
 Take-off Minima is established to ensure sufficient guidance to control
the aircraft in the event of critical engine failure and depends primarily
on the runway visual facilities:

Facilities RVR/Visibility, meters

Nil (day only) 500

RW edge lighting and/or centerline marking 250 *

RW edge and centerline lighting 200


RW edge and centerline lighting and multiple
150
RVR information
* For night operations at lest RW edge and RW end lights are required.
Use of multiple RVR
Normally TDZ, Midpoint and Stopend reports should be available.
 Midpoint RVR shall never be below the take-off minima.
 TDZ RVR (initial part of take-off run) - can be replaced by pilot
assessment from the line up position.
NOTE: The spacing of CL and RL can be checked by comparing with
TDZ lights, which are always spaced 30 m. If TDZ lights are
not available or in doubts, ask ATC about the spacing of the
lights.
 Stop-end RVR may be disregarded provided GWC calculations (refer
to Route Manual, section Fueling/GWC) show that only the first two
segments of the runway are needed for take-off.

- Advise immediately any deviation from


the runway heading or localizer;
- Announce very clearly the problem so
that the LP can decide without looking
inside.

2.4.4. Category 2 Approach


2.4.4.1 General

Cat 2 approach is an autopilot coupled precision monitored approach


completed by manual landing with a Decision Height (DH) between 200 and
100 feet, and controlling runway visual range not less than 300m.
Decision Height (DH) for Cat 2 Approach always refer to ground and the
Radio Altimeter shall be used.

Limitations: 1. Autopilot may remain engaged down to 50’ RA;

2. As in table in Appendix 2.

2.4.4.2 Approach planning


Before execution of the Cat 2 Approach the Commander shall satisfy
himself that the following requirements are fulfilled:
 Low Visibility Procedures are in force.
 airBaltic is authorized to use Cat 2 Minima for particular
countries/aerodromes as specified in the Appendix 1 of this section.
 Weather and RW conditions are within the limitations for Cat 2
Operations (see Appendix 2 of this section).
 Status of the aerodrome facilities is sufficient for Cat 2 (App 2).
 Status of the aircraft and it's relevant systems is adequate (App 2).
 Pilots are properly qualified (check Cat 2/3 RATING form).

2.4.4.3 Pilot’s qualification

Properly filled CAT2 RATING form shall be carried along at all times while
on flight duty as a document proving pilot’s qualification for particular
category of operations.

Initial Qualification
Both pilots have completed the Cat 2 training (OM Part D, para 4.9).
Line training consists as minimum of three (3) landings using Cat 2
procedures with the Radio Altimeter set to Cat 1 Decision Height.
Simulator training and Line training shall be signed of by appropriate
Instructor/Line Commander (Cat 2/3 RATING form).

Minimum (DH).
The approach may not be continued below DH unless a visual reference
containing a segment of at least 3 consecutive lights being the:
 centreline of the approach lights;
 touchdown zone lights;
 runway centreline lights;
 runway edge lights, or
a combination of these is attained and can be maintained.
This visual reference must include a lateral element of the ground pattern,
i.e. an approach lighting crossbar or the landing threshold or a barrette of
the touchdown zone lighting.

d) Use of Altimeters
Radio Altimeters are primary altimeters for CAT 2 approaches.
Cat 2 Minima for particular runway, presented in IAL charts in Route
Manual, shall be:
 set on both Primary Flight Displays before approach commencement;
 used for Decision Height determination during approach.
Pressure Altimeters are used as secondary but could be used as primary if
decision to revert to Cat 1 Approach Procedure is made by Commander
during Cat 2 Approach taking into account the following:
 Technical deficiencies preclude Cat2 approach continuation, but do not
require immediate go-around execution;
 Approach Ban Rules for Cat 1 approach are observed;
 Pressure Altimeters bugs are set on Cat 1 Minimum (DA) before
approach commencement.

e) Go-around
During Cat 2 operations the probability of Go-around is very high, therefore
the following to be observed:
 Therefore Go-around procedure shall be reviewed during approach
briefing and the pilots should be mentally prepared for it with regard
to the actions to be executed.
 The Go-around may result in an inadvertent touchdown during the
maneuver. There should be no rush in landing gear retraction until
the go-around power and flaps are set/reported and positive climb is
confirmed.
 For call outs and performance refer to Go-around procedure.

f) Use of call-outs
Standard call-outs for approach are mandatory and are also used for early
recognition of pilot incapacitation.
If incapacitation is recognized during Cat 2 approach, Go-around shall be
initiated immediately and “Crew Incapacitation” procedure (3.6.1) shall be
followed.
Crew co-ordination
Approach Briefing shall be complete by Left Pilot but Go-around procedure
by Right Pilot (use Appendix 2 of this section, Cat 2 Procedure Summary).

2.4.5. Failures During Cat 2 Approach


The Minimum equipment required for CAT 2 Operations shall be
serviceable before the CAT 2 Approach is commenced (see Table of
requirements).

Failure above 1000' RA


The PM (Commander) will consult appropriate table in the Normal
Checklist, (which should be placed readily to hand) perform the required
abnormal procedures; announce clearly the Landing Minima to be used.
NOTE:
1) Abnormal procedures, required for the Approach
continuation, must be completed before passing 500' RA (for
engine failure Memory Items only) without distraction pilots
attention from performing their main duties concerning
approach execution;
2) In any case the Approach Ban Rules requirements must be
met ( the Outer Marker/equivalent position must not be passed
with RVR below appropriate Minimum).

Failure below 1000' RA


In case of engine failure, any warning flag on EFIS, autopilot disconnect,
comparator warning or excessive deviation, a Go-around must be initiated.
NOTE: In the event of Go-around because of ATT, ROL or PIT warning
check the aircraft attitude by reference to the standby attitude
indicator.
2.4.6. Simulated CAT 2 approach procedure.

Simulated CAT 2 approach procedure is used to gain and retain


qualification in CAT 2.
For initial CAT 2 qualification the procedure is exercised during line training
with a Line Captain. For re-qualification purposes regular crew executes the
procedure.

Conditions:
 Weather conditions are above CAT 1 minimum;
 Aircraft technical status as required for CAT 2;
 Status and quality of the ground facilities should provide successful
automatic approach and landing, as required for exercise

30.01.2006 B-2.4-13
Fokker 50 LVP/CAT 2 OM – Part B
Rev.: 014

NOTE: As every CAT 2 approach shall be reported and counted for


a/c technical reliability statistic to conduct automatic
approaches. Pilots should refrain from conduct of Simulated
CAT 2 approaches if technical status of a/c and/or ground
facilities precludes successful execution of the approach. (see
criteria in OM, Part A, 8.4).
Execution:
 Briefing and preparations for the approach shall be completed to full
extent;
 Radio Altimeter in this case shall be set and used on CAT 1 minimum
with cross-reference to Pressure altimeters that still are used as the
primary one;

2.4.7. Documentation
After completion of any particular Cat 2 approaches:
 Both pilots are responsible for filling their CAT II/III RATING forms;
 Commander is responsible for filling CAT II/III REPORT form.
NOTE: Following criteria to be used for Cat 2 Approach evaluation.

A successful approach is considered to be an approach with no relevant


system failure below 500’ft to start of flare and/or no excessive deviations
from 300’ft to DH (for more details see OM Part A, para 8.4).

2.5. FLIGHT OPERATIONS IN ADVERSE


WEATHER CONDITIONS
2.5.1. Cold Weather

2.5.1.1. General
Cold Weather Operations are characterized with the following factors,
relevant to flight:
 Low ambient temperature;
 Different kinds of precipitation;
 Aircraft and ground surfaces may be covered with ice, snow or slush;
 Icing conditions.

2.5.1.2. Pre-departure
Flight preparation
If according to MET information there could be encountered ground
operations on slippery surfaces it is recommended to arrange forward CG,
in order to increase controllability and to reduce possibility of nose wheel
skidding.
The flight shall be planed to avoid areas with forecasted or reported severe
icing.
After encountering icing conditions residual ice will remain on the airframe
associated with slight speed reduction and some extra fuel consumption.
In case of engine failure, consider that single engine sealing will be
reduced, as specified in para 2.10.3.2 below.

Exterior inspection
During cold weather operation in addition to normal pre-flight inspection the
following items must be checked:
 All protective covers are removed.
 All surfaces are clear of ice and snow. Frost may be presented on
fuselage to such extent that the paint scheme is still visible.
 Static port area to be clean.
 Wing, tail surfaces, and flight controls to be free of ice, snow, and frost.
A layer of maximum 3 mm ice under wing tank area is acceptable.
 Propellers to be free from snow and ice.
 Landing gear and gear doors are free from impacted snow or slush
and visible part of strut is clean of ice.

 Engine intakes after overnight parking even with intake covers installed
O
if the OAT is below +5 C for clear ice. (Use your hands to detect
possible clear ice conditions)

Engine start
Before starting the engines, all engine inlet leading edges and inlets must
be cleared of ice and snow.
The following limitations of oil temperatures shall be applied:
 For engine start without preheat –54OC;
 GND IDLE –54OC, except for engine running with power levers below
FLIGHT IDLE 0OC;
O
 For operation above GND IDLE Min 0 C;
After engine start at extremely low temperatures the generators may initially
not supply steady AC power. When this results in a generator fault wait
approximately 2 min. before resetting the generator.
O
When the OAT is below +5 C and visible moisture is presented, switch the
ENGINE ANTI-ICE ON after engine start.

Take-off
Operate engines on ground with Engine Anti-icing ON for 3 min. before TO.
3 min. shall be counted from the moment when the oil temperature on both
O
engines reaches + 45 C.

2.5.1.3. Ground De/anti-icing

General
De/anti-icing procedure in general is presented in OM-Part A, Section 8.2.4.

a) Evaluation and Order


On the base of PFI results, approved exceptions (see PFI procedure above)
and weather conditions the Commander shall order required de/anti-icing
treatment by forwarding request in accordance to the local airport
procedures (in RIX to MCC).

b) Treatment and Acceptance


Quality and extent of de/anti-icing treatment shall provide clean
aerodynamic surfaces for the time when the take-off is to be performed. As
a general rule, aeroplane shall be treated symmetrically and HOT shall be
greater than the estimated time from the beginning of anti-icing to start of
take-off based on existing weather conditions.
De-icing may be performed with engines running i.e. using a taxi-through
de-icing facility.
During taxi-through de/anti-icing facility, the lowest possible power setting
should be used.
The bleed air for air-conditioning should be selected OFF.
The acceptable methods for contaminant removal as well as
recommendations / restrictions on applying de/anti-icing fluids are given in
OM-Part A, Section 8.2.4.
When De/anti-icing treatment is complete, the Commander shall be notified
of the type, quality and extent of treatment performed.
 All flight control surfaces, including flaps and trims, should then be
checked for full and free movement. The flaps should be cycled full
down and up prior to setting for take-off (external observer may be
required/used for this purpose);
 Postpone selection of bleed air supply for air-conditioning PACKS until
aeroplane is out of de/anti-icing area.
Immediately before departure (off chocks), the Commander shall ensure
himself, or by receiving a verbal report from the release person, that
aeroplane remains free from frost, ice and snow and no parts of the aircraft
have been damaged.

30.01.2006 B-2.5-3
Fokker 50 Cold Weather Operations OM – Part B
Rev.: 014
c) Departure
To start taxi, make sure that tires are free from ice, and wheels are not
frozen to surface and free to move.
Taxi out:
 To preserve hold over protection in precipitation or freezing fog
conditions flaps to be selected in take-off position shortly before line-
up.
 Cycle the airframe de-icing system MANUAL 1 and 2 positions during
ground operations or select HEAVY during flight in dray air for 3 min.
O
provided the TAT is not lower than –30 C.

d) Turn-around
If approach and landing have been performed in heavy icing conditions
and/or there are doubts that flaps are free from freeze contaminants, flaps
to be left in landing configuration. They to be retracted on parking stand
after thorough inspection.

Where contamination has occurred on structure, due to aircraft landing on


airfields where snow or ice has been dispersed with salt or chemical melting
agents:
 They should be removed before next departure;
 When time or conditions prevent removal of contamination at
outstations, this must be noted in aircraft technical log, so appropriate
action can be taken for removal at main base.

Anti-icing precautions
 If meteorological reports predict heavy frost deposits or freezing rain –
pitot and engine covers to be installed;
 Aeroplane may be treated with anti-icing fluid in advance if HOT is not
critical;

B-2.5-4 30.01.2006
OM – Part B Cold Weather Operations Fokker 50
Rev.: 014

Post-flight Procedure

Overnight Parking in Cold Weather (no ground personal available).


Before leaving the aircraft:
 If possible, position the aircraft to a heated enclosure
 If it is parked outside, position nose into wind, if possible
 To prevent frozen brakes release the parking brake as soon as chocks
are in place.
 Drain the water from galley and toilet if no internal heating of the
aircraft available.
 Install gear pins
 Install all protective covers.

2.5.2. Contaminated Runways

2.5.2.1. General
Various runway conditions, such as contamination, braking action, etc., can
affect take-off and landing characteristics (max weights, wind restrictions,
and runway length).
For planning purposes and during the flight RM section GWC shall be used.
NOTE: Contaminated RW shorter than 1500m shall not be used.

2.5.2.2. Taxi
When taxing on slippery surfaces increase distance between aircrafts and
obstacles. Be prepared to apply asymmetric engine power to support
turning and use reverse if brakes have no effect. Apply steering smoothly to
avoid nose wheel skidding.
One engine taxi shall not be applied on slippery taxiways in strong wind
conditions.
Consider ENG ANTI ICE – ON, in cases of RW and TW contaminations
O
when ambient temperature is below +5 C.
After overnight parking In order to check status of de-icing system and to
dray out moisture possibly collected in the system cycle the AIRFRAME DE-
ICING twice through the MANUAL 1 and 2.
NOTE: Window heating must be operated in LO for 3 min. before
selecting to HI.

30.01.2006 B-2.5-5
Fokker 50 Cold Weather Operations OM – Part B
Rev.: 014
2.5.2.3. Take off
Take off is not permitted if depth of runway contamination exceeds the
following values:
Water 12 mm
Slush 12 mm
Dry snow (specific gravity 0.3) 20 mm
Dry snow (specific gravity 0.1) 60 mm

 As take off and accelerate stop distance is increased select the longest
runway whenever possible.
 Flaps 15 are recommended to enable use of lowest VR and
consequently the shortest ground roll.
 Take off in icing conditions and from contaminated runways with
ENGINE IGNITION ON is not permitted.
During take off in standing water or slush, a bow wave will form ahead of
the nose and main gear wheels and grow in size with increase of aircraft
speed. To eliminate part of this drag caused by the nose wheels, raise the
nose wheel just clear of contamination layer as soon as the elevator
becomes effective. Continue acceleration to VR.
If the take of has to be abandoned use the standard rejected take-off
technique.
In event of directional control problem release the brakes, cancel reverse
and use the rudder pedals to correct back to the centerline
In an emergency full reverse can be used until standstill.
NOTE: During take-off in icing conditions or from contaminated
runways it is NOT permitted to have ENGINE IGNITION ON.

After take-off from slush covered runway leave the landing gear down for 1
min in order to allow accumulated slush to be blown away from the wheels
and brakes. Maintain normal climb attitude and do not exceed 170 kt.
When an engine failure occurs retract landing gear and follow standard
procedures.

B-2.5-6 30.01.2006
OM – Part B Cold Weather Operations Fokker 50
Rev.: 014

2.5.2.4. Landing
The recommended maximum wind components for landing on
contaminated runways are similar to the figures for take-off and are
presented as a table in SAS RM “Fuelling GWC“, page 11.2.
Under these circumstances when landing on slippery or contaminated
runway are expected the following procedures are applicable:
 Use the longest runway compatible with crosswind limits and avoid
tailwind landings.
 Consider using flaps 35 (if not restricted to flap 25 due icing conditions)
 Avoid a long landing and do not bleed off excess speed during the flare
but land the aircraft in the touchdown zone.
 After touchdown lower the nose, select GROUND IDLE and REVERSE
(if required) and apply brakes symmetrically. Be careful to apply
reverse on a contaminated runway in combination with crosswind.
 If no brake pressure is felt, expect hydroplaning. Do not use alternate
brakes under these circumstances. Apply steady brake pressure and
rely on anti-skid system, as it will stop the aircraft in shortest
distance.
 In an emergency reverse may be used until stand still.
 Reduce to taxi speed prior to turning off the runway.

If directional control is lost, release the brakes and reduce to reverse idle or
even forward idle. Use rudder to re-align with the centerline, reapply reverse
and use the brakes as required to stop the aircraft.

Rev.: 014

2.5.3. Icing Conditions

2.5.3.1. General
Icing can be expected to occur when the ambient temperature or TAT is
O
below +5 C and visible moisture is presented or when standing water or
slush is present on the ground.
 ENG ANTI-ICE must be switched on when icing conditions are
encountered or anticipated.
 If the aircraft was parked overnight in sub-zero temperatures, the
airframe de-icing system operation shall be checked. After engine
start operate the system in MANUAL 1and 2 visually check the wing
leading edge boots outside the engine nacelle for inflation.
 All probe heaters should be switched on whenever the aircraft is
moved by its own power.
 Airframe de-icing system must not be used for take-off and landing.

2.5.3.2. Climb, Cruise and Descent


Before line-up inspect from the cockpit visible parts of aircraft wings and
engines for snow and ice. Do not assume freedom from contamination by
observing other aircraft – they may have been treated more recently or
more effectively.
Maintain standard speeds and flight techniques during take–off and climb.
During single engine operation climb in icing conditions with VClean +15 kt.
Single-engine ceiling in icing conditions will be reduced by following values:
20 820kg 4300ft
20 000kg 2250ft
19 000kg 2000ft

Severe icing conditions


Severe icing conditions can be determined by the following visual cues:
 Ice accretion on the heated part of the windshield.
 Ice accretion on the fuselage nose in areas not normally observed to
collect ice.
 Accumulation of ice on the lower surface of the wing aft of the
protected area.
 Accumulation of ice on the heated propeller spinner.

B-2.5-8 30.01.2006
OM – Part B Cold Weather Operations Fokker 50
Rev.: 014
If any of these visual cues is observed, the following procedure is
recommended:

Engine anti-icing CHECK ON


Airframe de-icing CHECK HEAVY
Window heat CHECK HI
ERP MCT

When in climb:
Use full MCT power.
Minimum IAS 160kt.
Monitor rate of climb.
Estimate time until on top. If more then 10 min. consider
change of routing or cruise level in order to leave these
extreme icing conditions.

When in cruise:
- Monitor speed, minimum 160kt
- If necessary use full MCT power
- If speed drops significantly, consider change of routing or cruise
level in order to leave these extreme icing conditions.
When unusually extensive ice is observed in any area, or unusual control
behavior or trim requirements are encountered immediately request priority
handling from ATC to facilitate a route or altitude change to exit the extreme
icing conditions.
In addition, adhere to following precautions:
 Avoid abrupt and excessive maneuvering that may worsen control
difficulties.
 Do not engage the Autopilot.
 If the Autopilot is engaged, hold the control wheel firmly and disengage
the Autopilot. A roll control force can be expected if the control wheel
has a deflection.
 If an unusual roll response or uncommanded roll control movement is
observed, reduce the angle-off attack.
 Do not extend flaps during extended operation in icing conditions
(operation with flaps extended can result in a reduced angle-of-
attack, with the possibility of ice forming on the upper surface further
aft on wing than normal, possibly aft of the protected area).
 If the flaps are extended, do not retract them until the airframe is clear
of ice.
 The stall can occur at lower then normal angle-of-attack, possibly
before stick shaker operation.
 Report these weather conditions to ATC

Rev.: 014

Airframe
During climb monitor if there are any ice accumulation on aircraft surfaces,
use wing inspection light in darkness.
Operate airframe de-icing system MANUAL in order to detect accumulation
of clear ice.
When ice deposits are detected select airframe de-icing HEAVY.
The airframe de-icing system must be kept in operation as long as ice
accumulation continues. When the ice has been removed, the system must
be switched off. Some residual ice is normal especially with low TAT.
If due certain conditions a combination of rime ice and clear ice will cause
the effect of ’’tunneling’’ apply the AIRFRAME DE-ICING SYSTEM NOT
EFFECTIVE PROCEDURE.

Powerplant
Use the criteria of TAT and visible moisture for switching on the ENGINE
ANTI-ICING system.
Irregular ice shedding or a partial propeller de-icing failure, which does not
necessarily result in a system fault annunciation can result in propeller
vibration.
If ice on propeller causes excessive vibration:
ERP Select MCT rating for at least 3 min to allow for ice
shedding with 100 % propeller RPM during a
complete de-icing cycle.
TORQUE Adjust according ERP INOPERATIVE tables.

NOTE: In case of too late detection of icing conditions, operate


ENGINE ANTI-ICING on one engine at a time with an interval
of 2 min.

OM – Part B Cold Weather Operations Fokker 50
Rev.: 014
2.5.3.3. Approach and Landing
O
Before commencing the approach at a TAT below +10 C, select the
airframe de-icing system to HEAVY for approx. 3 min to clear the airframe
of any residual ice unless it is confirmed that the wing boots are clean.
During approach in icing conditions or when residual ice is supposed to be
present on the airframe, normal flight techniques and speeds are
applicable.
If flaps 35 is required for landing select flaps 35 below 300 ft AGL.
In case of a defective airframe de-icing system and ice being present on the
protected parts of the wing, ice must be assumed to be present also on the
tail section. An increase of stall speed and a degradation of elevator control
capacity must be anticipated. Under those circumstances not more then
flaps 25 for landing shall be used.
Increase the approach speed to VREF +25kt for sufficient margin over the
increased stall speed. Aim for VREF +15kt over the runway threshold. Actual
landing distance will increase with 35%.

2.5.4. Turbulence
Turbulence is graded by its intensity as light, moderate and severe. Flight
through areas of known severe or moderate turbulence should be avoided.
This may imply the delay of the take-off or approach if visual observation or
radar checks indicate thunderstorm activity in departure or approach area.
1. During pre-flight or in-flight planning through the zone of known
/expected turbulence the following precautions should be taken:
− Cabin crew to be advised well in advance or as soon as possible to
prepare the cabin/carry out appropriate services;
− Passengers should be informed by the Commander.
− FASTEN BELTS switched ON prior the entry turbulence zone.

2. If unexpected turbulence is experienced, the FASTEN BELTS sign


shall be switched ON immediately and passengers informed by the
Commander.
NOTE: As a back up, the cabin crew will inform passengers if after
switching on the sign there will be no information from the
cockpit within 10 sec.

30.01.2006 B-2.5-11
Fokker 50 Cold Weather Operations OM – Part B
Rev.: 014

In severe turbulence zone additionally:


 Set airspeed 165 knots.
 The autopilot should be regarded as primary means of aircraft control.
Use AFCS in basic mode.
 Use AFCS pitch control to maintain attitude.
 If AP is inoperative maintain the desired pitch attitude and wing level.
Correct attitude changes by making small control inputs.

2.5.5. Wind Shear

2.5.5.1. General
Windshear is very hazardous threat to aircraft during take-off, approach and
landing.
It may be experienced in thunderstorm areas, when penetrating weather
fronts, low level jet streams, temperature inversions, mountain waves and
thermals. Other causes include terrain irregularities and man-made
obstructions close to the runway. Windshear and / or vertical wind activity
present a potential hazard when flying at low altitudes. If the aircraft is
exposed to a diminishing headwind (or increasing tailwind) and / or
downdrafts, corrective action must be taken promptly to avoid high rates of
descent, speed loss. In severe weather conditions, maximum take-off
power and pitch attitude well above the normal go-around attitude may be
necessary to correct the flight path. For additional general information see
AOM 7.09.01.
Lessons learned from windshear encounters:
 Recognition is difficult and is usually complicated by marginal weather.
 Time available for recognition and recovery is short (as little as 5 sec).
 Flight Crew co-ordination has a vital importance for prompt windshear
recognition and recovery.
 Lower than normal airspeed may have to be accepted during Flight
Crew actions.

B-2.5-12 30.01.2006
OM – Part B Cold Weather Operations Fokker 50
Rev.: 014

2.5.5.2. Avoidance and Precautions


In case of reported severe windshear or weather conditions where severe
windshear conditions are present, do not take-off, approach or land. If
possible delay take-off, approach or landing until weather conditions
improve.

Take-off Precautions

1. Use the most favourable runway and/or climb out direction.


2. During take-off roll, carefully monitor airspeed for earliest possible
indication of windshear.
3. If obstacle clearance allows, consider using an initial climb speed of
V2+25 kt.

Approach Precautions

1) The aeroplane should be stabilized at 1000 Radio altitude.


2) Use the most favourable runway and approach sector.
3) Use flaps 25º.
4) Use approach speed not more than VREF+25 knots do not make large
power reductions until the beginning of the flare.
5) PNF should monitor speed, ROD, pitch attitude and power setting until
of the flare.

2.5.5.3. Recovery

Take-off
Prior to V1 the take-off should be rejected if windshear is encountered and
the decision made that sufficient runway is available to stop the aircraft.
After V1 the take-off shall be continued.

1) Select maximum take-off power (GA).


2) Increase pitch attitude and trade speed for improved climb capability in
order to prevent altitude loss.
3) Do not accelerate back to normal climb speed, decrease pitch attitude
only as necessary to avoid stick shaker.
4) Be prepared for penetration of additional areas of horizontal wind
changes and vertical wind activities.

30.01.2006 B-2.5-13
Fokker 50 Cold Weather Operations OM – Part B
Rev.: 014

Approach and Landing

1) Simultaneously apply GA power and rotate the airplane to GA attitude


or higher to control the ROD. Trade speed for improved climb capability
in order to prevent altitude loss.
2) Do not accelerate back to final approach speed, decrease pitch attitude
only as necessary to avoid stick shaker.
3) Be prepared for penetration of additional areas of horizontal wind
changes and vertical wind activities.
4) Report to ATC.
2.5.6. EXTREME WIND CONDITIONS

2.5.6.1. Taxiing, Parking

There are recommendations for taxi and parking in extreme wind


conditions:
 If the aeroplane has a tendency to turn into the wind during taxi, it may
be necessary to use pedals with separate brakes applying to
maintain taxi direction.
 Ailerons and elevator to be in neutral positions during taxi.
 Check parking brakes set “On”, chocks are positioned under all wheels
(six in total), on the stand with strong crosswind, especially on
slippery surfaces.
 When the aircraft has to be parked for a prolonged time in wind
velocities close to or exceeding the limits for the flight control lock (52
kts.), park the aircraft such that the prevailing and expected wind
direction is within 60 degrees from head on.

EVALUATE Upon completing of the procedure, evaluation should


be made to clarify:
- The aeroplane / affected system current status;
- Any additional limitation resulted by the procedure
or situation;
- Any additional abnormal / emergency procedure
or course of actions required for safe conduct of
the flight.
DECISION TO Commander shall analyze the situation and make a
CONTINUE / decision about possibility to continue the flight to
DIVERT THE
destination (see Ch 3.11).

3.0.7. Crew Co-ordination


In abnormal / emergency situation crew co-ordination mainly is the same
as in normal flight (see Part A Ch. 8.0).
Handling emergency situation the Commander may re-designate the PF,
taking into account the following:
- The aeroplane / systems status;
- Experience of flight crewmembers;
- Crew workload, fatigue and stress level;
- Additional tasks / arrangements (re-examination of checklist, cabin
crew co-ordination, PA announcement, etc).
However the Commander should refrain from taking over the controls
during critical stages of the flight (take-off, landing, go-around) when
aeroplane is below MSA.

3.0.8. Circuit breakers reset procedure


Tripped circuit breakers should not be reset in flight unless, in the judgment
of the Commander, it is necessary for the safe completion of the flight.
However, circuit breaker related to fuel pumps should never be reset in
flight. No reset is allowed upon a second trip of any circuit breaker. Ground
reset of a tripped circuit breaker should only be accomplished after
Maintenance has ascertained both the reason for the circuit breaker trip
and established that there is no airworthiness concern.
Cabin Crew shall not operate with circuit breakers located in cabin without
clear concern of the Commander.

3.1 FAILURE DURING TAKE-OFF and


LANDING
3.1.1 Rejected Take-off
If continuation is unsafe, take-off could be aborted at any speed below V1
calculated for particular runway and conditions. However, statistics show
that take-off abortion from the speeds close to V1 poses higher risk of
overrun and aeroplane damage.
To minimize this risk and facilitate decision making during take-off run, two
phases are established:
 Speeds below 80 Kts, and
 Speeds above 80 Kts and below V1.

1) Speeds below 80 Kts - Low Energy Abortion


A take-off should be rejected in case of any malfunction/failure or other
problem noted by the flight crew. The aeroplane could be easily controlled
and stopped without overriding brakes. Very short period may be required to
clarify and fix the problem to re-initiate the flight.

2) Speeds above 80 Kts and below V1 - High Energy Abortion


A take-off shall be rejected only if there is:
 loss of thrust;
 loss of control;
 danger of impact, or
 major system failure that makes continuation unsafe (fire, loss of
instruments, etc) normally recognized via RED MASTER WARNING
(Level 3 alert).
Immediate and prompt actions are required from the flight crew to stop the
aircraft within the distance available. Correct cal-outs and crew co-
ordination is vital.
NOTE: Most of the failure conditions will be inhibited automatically
during Take-off, at the speed >80 Kts.

Do not release the brake pedal pressure until
the speed has been reduced so that stopping
within the remaining runway is assured.
Stop aircraft and evaluate the situation. Inform ATC
Inform via PA “Remain Seated” or, when
deemed necessary Commander shall initiate
the emergency evacuation immediately, when
the aircraft has come to a complete stop and
parking brakes set.
NOTE: If conditions permit, vacate the runway. A rejected take-off may
cause hot brakes. If a subsequent take-off is considered
feasible, a brake-cooling time of 30 to 60 minutes is required.
Avoid the use of parking brake when brakes are hot.

3.1.2 CONTINUED TAKE-OFF WITH FAILURE


Take-off shall be continued in case of any problem at a speed above V1.
PF shall concentrate on flying the aircraft according to profile and Climb out
Procedure. PNF shall, by monitoring flight instruments and using proper call
outs, assist the PF to complete the initial climb out to a safe altitude.
Change of controls should not be made until the aircraft is cleaned up,
unless required for safety reasons.
For maximum initial climb performance the gear must be retracted as soon
as positive rate of climb is established.
Caution: Till the moment, when PF ask for failure identification ( see Crew
Co-ordination) PNF should refrain from the statement about the
malfunction:
 not to distract PF’s attention from normal sequence;
 not to deteriorate the situation with inadvertent mistake made in rush
and stress.
PF shall to fly the aircraft relying on his natural feelings and pilot’s skill.

3.1.3 Failure during approach


When a failure occurs above 500 ft RH evaluate the failure. In most cases
the relevant procedure can be completed and the approach continued. If
applicable apply increased weather minima. If a failure occurs below 500 ft
RH without visual reference initiate a go-around.
In case of smoke or fire it is at Commander’s discretion either to continue
the approach and landing or start a go-around.
Carry out the relevant procedure after the go-around.
NOTE: In case of a go-around with one ENG EC in MAN, anticipate
power lever stagger and avoid over-torque.
NOTE: In case of CAT 2 approach this margin rises up to 1’000 ft RH.

3.2 FIRE AND SMOKE DRILLS


3.2.1 Fire/Smoke in compartments
In case if the fire/smoke is detected in the Flight Deck, Cabin, Toilet, Cargo
compartments follow the procedures in Quick Reference Handbook.
Inform the Cabin Crew as soon as possible. Give further directions to Cabin
Crew if subsequent actions are required (diversions from flight plan, rapid
change of altitude, etc) and inform passengers.
If fire is detected in the cabin, Cabin Crew will initiate their procedures in fire
fighting and will keep Flight Crew informed.
After landing with any kind of fire or smoke observed or suspected on the
airplane the Emergency evacuation shall be immediately initiated as per
QRH procedure. In case of fire LP should stop the aircraft in the direction, in
which the wind will blow the flames away from the fuselage.

Commonly aircraft fires are categorized in the following order:


Class A Ordinary solid materials (paper, cloth, seat cushions,
baggage etc);
Class B Flammable liquids (jet fuel, oil, grease, etc);
Class C Flammable gasses (butane);
Class D Combustible metals (sodium, magnesium, titanium, etc.);
Class E Electrical systems or installations.

Types of available Fire Extinguishers and their usage:


 Halon 1211 - Used on all types of fires;
 H20 - Used on class A fire only.

Reporting of Fires or Smoke


Report the incident in Flight Safety Report. Cabin Crew will write Cabin
Report. If possible, write down contact addresses and phone numbers from
some of the passengers, seated near the affected area. They may be
required as witnesses for later investigation.
Captain shall make entries in the Airplane Technical Log, if cabin
equipment is used.

3.2.2 Engine Fire
General
An engine fire during take-off does not necessary result in an immediate
and significant power loss resulting in auto-feather. Initially follow the normal
take-off profile. It is recommended to delay engine shutdown until reaching
acceleration altitude. If engine failure or severe damage results in an auto-
feather, follow profile for engine failure.
During approach, in case of smoke or fire it is at Commander’s discretion
either to continue the approach and landing or start a go-around. In case of
continuation of approach the Commander shall take a decision weather
engine shutdown is necessary or could be postponed till landing. Especially
for Cat 2 approach, when engine shutdown causes Cat 1 minimum to be
applied for approach continuation.
NOTE: If affected engine is still producing thrust, expect big yaw
moment during engine shut-down.

After landing with any kind of fire or smoke observed or suspected on the
airplane or engines the Emergency evacuation shall be immediately initiated
as per QRH procedure. In case of fire LP should stop the aircraft in the
direction, in which the wind will blow the flames away from the fuselage.

3.3 ENGINE FAILURE AND SINGLE


ENGINE OPERATIONS
Engine could fail or may be intentionally shutdown by the crew. Failure may
result in auto-feather, if auto-feather system was “armed” at the moment of
failure. Manual shutdown will always results in propeller feathering. QRH
procedures, which may include Memory items, shall be strictly followed.
Be sure to shut down the failed engine. All actions resulting in engine
shutdown in flight should be carried out in close coordination, see crew co-
ordination.
Upon the Commander’s consideration engine restart procedure can be
performed.

3.3.1 Engine Failure Before V1


An engine failure with auto-feather will cause a large yawing moment.
Immediately apply the rudder for directional control. Retard both power
levers and maintain directional control with rudder and nose-wheel
steering. After coming to a stop, depending on circumstances, application
of the ON GROUND EMERGENCY procedure may be required.
NOTE: Selection of ground idle will disarm the auto-feather circuit, which may
result in a wind milling propeller on the failed engine.
Rejected take-off procedure and crew co-ordination shall be used, see
3.1.1.

3.3.2 Engine Failure After V1


If an engine fails after V1 the take-off should be continued. The first
indications for loss of engine power is drop in torque followed by a level 3
alert. Automatically the propeller of the failed engine feathers and
maximum power is selected on the operating engine. Immediately apply
the rudder for directional control and use the ailerons to keep wings level.
Maintain heading and follow FD pitch command.
The minimum speed in the initial climb segment is V2. If an engine fails at a
higher speed, maintain that speed or gradually reduce by increasing pitch
to a speed not lower than V2 + 10. With low aircraft weight more pitch than
GA attitude may be required. Operate TCS to adjust FD pitch command to
the required attitude. Use rudder and aileron trim as required.

After acceleration in the acceleration segment, maintain VCLEAN in the final
take-off segment and single-engine climb out. o
Caution:
o
Maximum bank angle at V2 and VCLEAN is 15 . For bank angles of
15-30 , increase respective speed by 10 KIAS.

If auto-feather and/or APR fails, the FUEL lever of the failed engine must
be placed in SHUT on command of the PF and GA must be selected on
ERP in order to obtain maximum power on the operating engine.

3.3.3 Engine Failure During Approach and Go-Around


If an engine fails during approach the propeller will start wind-milling.
If above 500 ft or if visual reference is established:
• Select GA on ERP
• Increase power to maintain speed and glide slope
• Carry out the applicable procedures (Memory Items for failed
engine shutdown) if time permits
• Continue single-engine approach and landing
If below 500 ft and visual reference has not been established:
• Initiate a go-around
• As soon as the aircraft attitude is stable, feather the propeller
by placing the fuel lever in SHUT using Memory Items
procedure for engine shutdown.
• At acceleration altitude (min 400 ft AGL) continue as for
Engine Failure after V1
If an engine fails during a go-around the propeller of the failed engine will
probably not feather automatically. As soon as the aircraft attitude is stable
after completion of the initial go-around actions, feather the propeller by
placing FUEL lever in SHUT using Memory Items procedure for engine
shutdown.

CAUTION: THE FD ON THE CORRESPONDING SIDE WILL REVERT

MANUAL APPROACH.
NOTE: During AP single-channel operation, the AP may disengage. Cancel
disengagement alert, verify AFCS mode(s) on PFD and re-engage AP or
continue manual approach.

3.3.4 Single Engine Operations


Emergency checklist “Single-engine procedure” or Abnormal checklist
“Shutdown” shall be used for single engine operation as appropriate.

Turns after Take-off


The SID chart for the particular take-off runway may state a special single-
engine instrument procedure to avoid obstacles. This procedure forms an
integral part of the crew briefing before take-off. The degradation in climb
performance due to turns is taken into account in the SID chart.

Single engine Climb, Cruise or Descent


When an engine fails during climb, cruise or descent take action according
to the emergency checklist. Select MCT on the live engine. Single engine
climb performance and single engine ceiling are based on the use of MCT
and VCLEAN.
When an engine fails in cruise, select MCT and let the speed decrease to
VCLEAN..
In case terrain clearance is no limiting factor, CRZ rating might be selected
and higher indicated airspeeds at lower altitudes can be expected.

Single-engine Approach
Before starting a single-engine approach select ERP to GA.

Single-engine Circuit
The single engine circuit is similar to the two engine circuit. During level
flight, require torque is approx 75 per cent more than the setting for two
engines. During descent on a standard 3 degree glide slope the required
torque is approx 50 per cent more than for two engines.

Single engine low circuit


A single engine low circuit or circling procedure should be avoided
whenever possible. Level flight with flaps 10O, 130 kt and landing gear
down may exceed the aircraft’s performance.
Follow the procedure for two-engine low circuit. Do not extend landing gear
abeam runway threshold. Select landing gear down and flaps 25 when
intercepting the glide path on final approach.
NOTE: The GPWS may generate a ”TOO LOW GEAR” warning when the
landing gear is not down-locked below 500 ft RA.

01.02.2003 B-3.3-7
Fokker 50 Abnormal Procedures OM – Part B
Rev.: 008

Single engine Precision Approach


The single engine precision approach is similar to the two-engine
approach. Crew coordination and AFCS operation is as described for the
normal approach. CAT II approach is prohibited.

Single-engine Non-precision Approach


The single engine non-precision approach procedure is similar to the two-
engine approach. Crew co-ordination and AFCS operation is described for
the approach.
Level flight at MDA will require considerable power for the operating
engine. If the required speed can not be maintained, retract the landing
gear to reduce drag. In this case select landing gear down and flaps 25
when intercepting the glide path on the final approach.
NOTE: The GPWS may generate a ”TOO LOW GEAR” warning when the
landing gear is not down-locked below 500 ft RA.A LG warning may be
generated when V/S exceeds 200 ft/min descent below 830 ft or with speed
below 140 kt.

Single engine landing


For performance reasons the landing flap position should be 25. Aim for an
early and well stabilized approach. Trim the aircraft when stabilized.
• On short final, after the decision to land, it is recommended to order the
PNF to select the rudder trim to neutral
• Use standard approach and landing technique
• Upon selection of ground idle or reverse, anticipate a yaw toward the
operating engine
• Use brakes as for normal landing

Single engine go-around


Follow procedure GO-AROUND, LANDING FLAP 25.
NOTE: Ensure both power levers are advanced to TO detent.
At acceleration altitude (min 400 ft) continue as for engine failure after V1.

3.5 TCAS WARNING


In general TCAS procedure is introduced in Part A 8.3.6. The following
notes shall be taken in account when using TCAS in flight:
- TCAS may command manoeuvres which, under conditions of low
speed, high drag and low excess thrust, may significantly reduce
the stall margin or may even result in a stall warning. However, a
TCAS maneuver shall not be continued beyond the point of stick
shaker activation. Conditions where this may occur include:
a. Bank angle in excess of 15 deg.
b. Operation at airports above 5300 MSL, temperature
outside of ISA + 10 deg C, airspeed below normal
operating airspeeds, and buffet margins less then 0.25 g.
c. Engine out.

- Do not initiate evasive manoeuvres using information from the


traffic display only or upon receiving a TA only without visual
contact with the traffic. Traffic displays and advisories are intended
for assistance in visually locating the traffic but lack the flight path
trends necessary for use in evasive manoeuvring.
- Compliance with an RA is necessary unless it is considered not
safe to do so, or unless the pilot has better information about the
cause of the RA and can maintain safe separation (e.g. visual
contact and safe separation from other traffic, obvious TCAS
failure, etc.)
CAUTION: Once an RA has been issued, safe separation could be
compromised if current vertical speed is changed, except as necessary
to comply with RA. This is because TCAS II – to – TCAS II coordination
may be in progress with the intruder aircraft, and any change in vertical
speed that does not comply with the RA may negate the effectiveness
of the other aircraft’s compliance with the RA.
Note: The consequences of not following an RA may result in additional
RA’s in which aural alert and visual annunciations may not agree with each
other.
- Evasive manoeuvre following a “Climb” RA while flying at FL250will
result in temporarily exceeding the maximum certified flight altitude.

01.07.2002 B-3.5-1
Fokker 50 Abnormal Procedures OM – Part B
Rev.: 007

- To assure safe separation, evasive manoeuvre of approximately


0.25 g must be initiated within approximately 5 sec after the initial
RA and within approximately 2.5 sec if an additional, corrective RA
is issued.
- In case of an RA, the search for the conflicting traffic should, if
meteorological conditions permit, include a visual scan of the
airspace into which the pilot’s own aircraft might manoeuvre.
- Evasive manoeuvring must be limited to the minimum required to
comply with the RA. Excessive responses to RA’s are not desirable
or appropriate because of the other potential traffic and ATC
consequences. From level flight, proper response to an RA
typically results in an overall altitude deviation of 300 to 500 ft in
order to successfully resolve a traffic conflict.
- If a “Climb” RA is issued while in the landing configuration, initiate a
normal go-around procedure.
Note: Initiating the go-around procedure for “Climb” RA does not
mandate a missed approach. It is intended to assure the airplane is
properly configured for the expected manoeuvre. In most cases, the
TCAS event will be resolved with only minor deviation to the intended
flight path and sufficient time and altitude will exist to recover to the
desired flight path.
- The “TA only” mode should be used to prevent RA’s when
intentionally operating close to other aircraft such as to closely
spased parallel RWYs.
- The “TA/RA” mode should be selected just prior to take-off, and
“STBY” mode should be selected after clearing runway following
landing.

3.6 INCAPACITATION
3.6.1 General
Incapacitation can be classified into two categories:
 Obvious;
 Subtle.
Once the incapacitation is identified, follow these general procedures:
1) Keep the airplane from crashing (take over).
2) Take care of the incapacitated pilot (restrain and remove).
3) Prepare for the landing (reorganize the cockpit).
NOTE: Once pilot has suffered incapacitation and afterwards
recovered, he may no longer take the controls nor act as the
Commander for the rest of the flight.

a) Obvious Incapacitation
Obvious incapacitation could be sudden, prolonged, and usually results in a
complete loss of operating function. By definition, they are immediately
apparent to the remaining crewmembers, for example:
 Severe brain disorders (stroke, fits, and haemorrhage);
 Heart disorders (heart attack);
 Severe internal bleeding;
 Severe and sudden kidney or gallstone attacks.
b) Subtle Incapacitation
Subtle incapacitation could be partial in nature and usually transient. It is
significant operational hazard because it is difficult for other crew members
to detect. The affected pilot may look well and be conscious with only
partially functioning brain. He may not be aware of or capable of rationally
evaluating problem, if for example the following occurs:
 Minor brain seizures or tumours;
 Hypoglycaemia (low blood sugar).
Early recognition of incapacitation can be achieved by:
 Strict use of standard operating procedures (note deviations);
 Routine monitoring and cross-checking of flight instruments.
Subtle incapacitation is the most dangerous. It occurs most frequently and
its effects range from partial loss of function to complete unconsciousness
or death. Procedural deviation is the first sign of incapacitation and any
inappropriate verbal response associated with it should be enough to raise
suspicion.

30.01.2006 B-3.6-1
Fokker 50 Abnormal Procedures OM – Part B
Rev.: 014

3.6.2 Preliminary Actions


A flight deck crewmember, developing physical complains during flight,
should inform the other flight deck crewmember and should lock his
shoulder harness as a precaution.

3.6.3 If an incapacitation occurs:


(a) The remaining pilot should take over the controls and check the
position of essential control and switches;
(b) Use AFCS with AP engaged;
(c) In nearly all cases an emergency should be declared;
(d) Another cockpit occupant or Cabin Attendant should restrain the
incapacitated pilot and slide the seat back;
(e) Use the P.A. system to obtain help if necessary;
(f) The incapacitated pilot should be removed from his seat and the
cabin crew made responsible for his care (it should be realized that
an unconscious pilot can regain consciousness very suddenly and
become a violent and irrational);
(g) Consider if Cabin Attendant should be requested to read out
checklists or provide any other assistance.
(h) No special landing limits are prescribed but Cat 2 approach is
prohibited.

3.6.4 Cabin Crew


If an incapacitation occurs, the Cabin Crew may be called to the flight deck
to restrain the incapacitated pilot and slide his seat back. The incapacitated
pilot may be restrained in his seat by locking seat belt and shoulder
harness.
If requested by the PF, remove incapacitated pilot to the cabin and
administer first aid. Make an announcement requesting assistance for
anyone with medical training onboard.

3.7 OTHER EMERGENCY and


ABNORMAL SITUATIONS
3.7.1 Emergency Descent Procedure
General
After rapid decompression at high altitudes emergency descent must be
initiated and continued to the altitude where passengers can breathe
normally. ATC must be informed as soon as possible.
When executing emergency descent consider turning away from the airway
or designated track to avoid traffic at lower levels. Exercise caution in order
not to exceed the structural limitations of the aircraft during descent
combined with rapid turns. Recommended initial level-off altitude is 14’000
ft to 10’000 ft, provided terrain permits.
As soon as possible brief Cabin Crew and inform passengers on incident
and further deviations, if any. When safe, give a clearance to the Cabin
Crew to move around the cabin.
Cabin Crew will follow their procedures and inform Flight Crew on cabin
status.
Level flight must be maintained at 10’000 feet or at the lowest safe altitude,
if higher.
Make an entry into Airplane Technical Log and complete Flight Safety
Report. Request a report from Cabin Crew and few of the passengers.

3.7.3 Guidance for Diversion in Case of


Serious Technical Failure

General
In case of serious technical failure the following shall be evaluated to make
decision to continue or divert the flight:
 Technical status of the aircraft, actual gross weight, remaining fuel on
board;
 En route weather (wind, temperature, icing, thunderstorms, landing
forecasts, etc.);
 Available route and aerodrome facilities.

Discontinuation of Flight
The flight shall be returned to the airport of departure or to the nearest
suitable airport, if:
 Vital parts of the engine/systems/aircraft are damaged;
 There was fire on board;
 The affected system is essential for continuation;
 QRH requires to do so.

Continuation of Flight with One Engine Inoperative


A flight may be continued at the Commanders discretion provided:
 The safe flight to the destination can be provided, using remaining
equipment;
 In-flight re-planning has been performed;
 The distance to a suitable airport at all times during the continued flight
is not greater than that which can be flown within 90 minutes at
normal all-engine cruising speed;
 The remaining fuel at all times during the continued flight is sufficient to
reach the nearest suitable airport, having 30 minutes holding at 1’500
ft available.
If two or more airports are at about the same flying time from current aircraft
position, the following shall be chosen in prioritized order:
 Airports used for flight planning by airBaltic;
 Other airport presented in the RM;
 Military airfield;
 Other airfields.

3.7.4 Anti Skid INOP


When operating aircraft with a faulty Skid Control System:
1) TOW is limited by RWY length decrease.
Perform TOW calculation prior each flight. (see GWC table 3.1)
O
2) Perform take off with flaps 15 .
A larger TO flap setting results in a shorter RWY roll. The disadvantage
of that is the deterioration in climb performance.
3) Check landing distance at the destination and alternates, as given in
GWC table 4.1.
The values given in the table are valid for dry RWY. When the runway is
wet or slippery (BA other than good) the required RWY length should be
assumed to be 115% of the table value (see AFM 6.13.02).
4) Brake with caution to prevent tire skid.
Max speed to apply brakes is 40 kts.
5) If trapped by FLAP asymmetry alert.
When flaps stuck in position 0 deg the landing distance additionally
increases by 1.86 times.

3.7.5 Lighting Strike


Lightning is normally related to thunderstorms. Avoiding lightning strikes is
therefore related to the avoidance of turbulence, icing and hail. At night,
switch on the storm lights to prevent temporary blinding from lightning, and
keep eyes on the instruments.
If a lightning strike is experienced while the landing gear is down, test skid
control system before landing.
Additional information could be find in Part A ch.8.3.8.1.

3.7.6 Overweight Landing


In case technical or operational reasons require overweight landing, fly a
normal approach and landing. Overweight landing may only be performed in
case of emergency. Any overweight landing should be reported to
maintenance.

Fokker 50 Abnormal Procedures OM – Part B
Rev.: 014

3.7.7 No Ground Idle After Landing

Premature attempt to select ground idle just before touchdown may block
the automatic flight idle stop release mechanism. Therefore if ground idle
can not be selected after touchdown, momentarily move the power levers
slightly forward to enable the automatic flight idle stops to be released, and
then select ground idle. If it is still not possible to select ground idle:
 Select TO rating on ERP as soon as possible
 Use brakes to slow down the aircraft
 Aim for the next exit available
 Clear the RWY and stop the aircraft
 Verify/reset the ground/flight control circuit breakers and select ground
idle.
If after stopping ground idle cannot be selected:
 Shut down engines
 Wheels chocked and parking brake off.

If after shutdown the power levers still cannot be reset to ground idle and
further taxiing is required (no towbar available):
 Allow brakes to cool for 30 minutes
 Start one engine with power lever in flight idle
 Taxi on one engine for a maximum of 5 minutes.

If crosswind conditions, if only one power lever cannot be selected to


ground idle, keep both power levers at flight idle until nose wheel steering
becomes effective. In addition differential braking can be used to maintain
directional control.
Notes:
1. Landing distance will increase due to positive engine power
during rollout (power is in TO rating). Actual landing distance
is well within the normal RLD for flaps 25.
2. The brakes will become hotter than during normal landing.
When taxiing is continued in this condition brakes will heat up

3.7.8 Landing with flaps less than 25


General
If a flap asymmetry alert comes on, the flaps are stuck in the indicated
position. Do not operate alternate flap in this case. Follow QRH abnormal
checklist.
For VREF see QRH, use VREF for the nearest smaller flap position.
The landing distance for flaps 0, the worst case, is 1,59 times the distance
for flaps 25. So the actual (measured) landing distance with flap 0 is 0,95
times the required landing field length for flap 25.
See QRH tables for actual landing distance.
If the flaps are stuck in a position less than 25 use the procedure below:
Procedure
 Select the longest runway available, regarding wind and braking action,
preferably with ILS or VASIS
 A straight-in approach using AFCS is recommended
 Aim to be established with 140 kt at glide slope interception
 Select landing gear down
 Complete BEFORE LANDING CHECK
 Fly a 3 deg or ILS glide slope
 Aim to be established at 1000 ft on final approach speed VREF + 10
AND GLIDE SLOPE
 At approx. 200 ft disengage AP and reduce speed to cross threshold at
VREF
 Aim for a positive touchdown at the normal touchdown point
 Anticipate increased floating. Only a slight pitch increase is required for
the flare
NOTE: In case flaps are less than 5, too long a flare may result in the
tail skid touching the runway.
 Lower the nose on the runway and select ground idle without delay
 Apply reverse and brakes as required

3.7.9 UPSET RECOVERY


Flight Crew should be aware that various factors could disrupt normal flight
and place an aircraft into abnormal attitude. This section will define aircraft
upsets, list some of their potential causes, as well as suggest various
techniques for safe upset recovery.
Definition: Aircraft upset is defined as aircraft attitude equal to or grater
than any of the following:
 Pitch attitude more than 25 degrees nose up;
 Pitch attitude more than 15 degrees nose down;
 Bank angle more than 45 degrees;
 Flight within these parameters at airspeeds inappropriate for the
conditions.

3.7.9.1 Causes of Aircraft Upsets


Most common causes of aircraft upsets are categorized as:
a) Environmentally induced;
− Turbulence, Wake turbulence
− Mountain wave;
− Windshear, Microbursts;
− Airplane Icing.
b) Systems anomalies induced;
− Flight Instruments;
− Autoflight systems;
− Flight controls and other anomalies.
c) Pilot induced;
− Instrument misinterpretation or slow cross-check;
− Inattention and distraction from primary duties;
− Vertigo or spatial disorientation;
− Improper use of airplane automation;
d) A combination of all of the above.

B-3.7-8 30.01.2006
OM – Part B Abnormal Procedures Fokker 50
Rev.: 014

3.7.9.2 Upset Recovery Techniques


Recovery from upset normally mean putting the aircraft into horizontal
flight/wing level position within speed limits.
The recovery shall be done via shortest possible way, to prevent entering
the aircraft into a hazard. The most hazardous in upset are:
− During nose-up situation – intensive loss of speed with possible
stall;
− During nose-down situation – intensive loss of altitude and
possibility of exceeding VMO.
These dictate different sequence/priorities of upset recovery.

Upset Recovery Techniques

Nose-up Attitude Nose-down Attitude


1. Recognize and confirm the situation
2. Disengage autopilot
3. Reduce pitch angle 3. Roll to wing level
(maintain the ball in center) 4. Reduce pitch angle
4. Roll to wing level 5. Adjust power
5. Adjust power
6. Check/adjust altitude, speed, heading

30.01.2006 B-3.7-9
Fokker 50 Abnormal Procedures OM – Part B
Rev.: 014

3.7.9.3 Stall Recovery

Indications:
 air speed decreasing to be close to or below V2 on take-off, and
VREF on approach;
 stick shaker activation;
 controllability problems in combination with loss of speed
or unusual loads (G-loads).

Actions in general
In case of stall or airplane attitude close to stall is encountered the flight
crew are expected to implement prompt actions to provide safe trajectory of
flight. The main concern shall be given to air speed and vertical speed. To
recover from stall or attitude close to stall the standard “Go-around”
procedure shall be called out and used.
Depending on actual airplane configuration the items of “go-around”
procedure that are obviously not necessary shall be omitted or by passed
based on airmanship. Therefore stall recovery when airplane is in clean
configuration will require GA power setting and acceleration control.

Crew co-ordination
Once initiated the procedure shall be completed by the PF.
Change of controls should not be made until recovery is completed, unless
required for the safety reason.

3.8 ABNORMAL and EMERGENCY


CHECKLISTS
General
The checklist contain only those procedures where an action or sequence
of actions or prohibition of incorrect action(s), which is not observed, could
result in a significant adverse affect on the airworthiness of the aeroplane
or the safety of the passengers and crew.
Checklists for Abnormal and Emergency situations are presented in Quick
reference handbook (QRH). QRH shall be easily accessible for flight crew
during the flight. Procedures shall be strictly followed.
These procedures supplement and supersede the normal procedure.
Normal Checklist items are usually not contained in within these
procedures and shall be used when applicable.
Action considered to be “Airmanship” may not be included in these
procedures; however, in an emergency they should be considered:
- Cancelling Master alert;
- Circuit breakers check;
- Selection of emergency lighting;
- Establishing crew communication;
- R/T call;
- Use of oxygen;
- ATC Transponder;
- Advise and brief cabin crew;
- PA calls/announcement;
- Reducing landing weight;
- Normal checks, and

other items of airmanship the crew consider appropriate.

Fokker 50 Abnormal & Emergency Procedures OM – Part B
Rev.: 007

Presentation
Memory items are [boxed].
The procedures are presented in a form of checklist. If actions depend on a
precondition, a black square indicates the precondition. A sequential
precondition or a phase of flight is indicated by a black dot. All action lines
are in capitals, other information is printed in lower case.

Execution
For Abnormal / Emergency Checklist “Read and Do” method shall be
used, assuming that procedures are performed by PNF through reading the
checklist.
In addition to basic rules for checklist execution prescribed in OM, A,
8.0.6.6 the following to be applied:

1. Checklist to be started with the procedure title;


2. Memory items, if exist, to be repeated;
3. Non-relevant information should be omitted;
4. Essential information should be read loudly and distinctly;
5. Selections of the systems / items which are vital and could lead to
irreversible changes in aeroplane / system status shall be done
with outmost care and PF’s attention or confirmation, if required
by procedure;
6. If checklist procedure is complicated or even can not be
completed at the moment, PNF should make:
- short de-briefing on actions completed and
aeroplane/system status;
- notes on actions/checklists to be completed later and final
aeroplane/system status expected for landing.

B-3.8-2 01.07.2002
OM – Part B Abnormal & Emergency Procedures Fokker 50
Rev.: 007

Memory Items
For some procedures specific actions have been defined which shall be
performed as soon as situation permits. The delay involved when referring
to documents is not acceptable, therefore pilots shall be able to act by
recall.
If not stated otherwise in applicable procedure, the following principles
should be adhered to:
1. If simultaneous actions are required they should be done by PNF first.
Then, after change of control, by the other pilot.
2. Vital items shall be confirmed by both pilots before execution;
3. Memory Items to be confirmed by subsequent checklist reading.

Procedures applicability
Abnormal and Emergency procedures are applicable during the flight
unless specifically stated otherwise. When a system malfunction occurs
during ground operation, the relevant procedure should be completed with
omission of those items or bypassing those conditions which obviously are
only applicable when airborne.
If the emergency situation is positively corrected before completion of the
procedure, the Commander should evaluate the situation before
proceeding with the next step.
Before take-off with certain systems inoperative, refer to the Minimum
Equipment List and verify if dispatch is allowed.
Note: Some of the procedures, when deemed necessary, are followed
by brief explanation for actions whenever the reason is not obvious, and
other operationally relevant background information.

- Smoke removal procedure should be applied in case of serious


smoke or toxic fumes.
- Smoke is most effectively removed by the highest possible air
conditioning flow. Since the air conditioning flow increases by
depressurization (which opens the outflow valves) select cabin
altitude to 9000 ft and turn cabin rate of climb to increase.
- The cabin will depressurize, so start descending to meet the
cabin.
- After depressurization select pressurization control to manual
with rate at full increase to keep outflovalves wide open.

1.1 Take-off
Max TOW evaluation shall be made before every flight. This evaluation is
based on the Gross Weight Charts (GWC), which are presented in the
chapter GWC of the Route Manual.

There are three columns for each of the appropriate take-off flap settings 5
0
and 15 :
1. MTOW limited by RWY length;
2. MTOW limited by obstacles clearance requirements;
3. Climb limit temperature.

Every MTOW in the columns 1 and 2 consists of two figures, calculated


under the following conditions:
First weight Second weight
QNH, hPa 980 1013
Wind Tail wind = 5kts No wind
OAT, 0 C TREF TREF
RWY conditions Wet Dry
Engine anti-ice On Off

01.02.2004 B-4.A.1-1
F-50 Performance, GWC OM - Part B
Rev.: 010

The first weight is calculated for the worst take-off situation in order to
evaluate quickly the present conditions and take the correct decision.
The second weight is used for precise calculation of MTOW.

To calculate MTOW exactly it is necessary to correct the second weight


from the table for actual conditions:
a. Weather (wind, temperature, QNH);
b. RWY contamination (water, slush, snow on the runway or BA/FC);
c. RWY shortening;
d. Engine ice protection (ON or OFF)
e. Status of the aircraft system (anti-skid inoperative).

To serve this purpose the correction tables (presented in GWC Para 3) are
used.

Note: The first weight may be corrected for RWY shortening only.
GWCs allow to define max permissible TOW as the lowest of:
a. MTOW limited by RWY length;
b. MTOW limited by obstacles clearance requirements;
c. MTOW limited by climb requirements;
d. Max structural TOW 20 820 kg.
Note: Terrain in route, LW at destination and runway bearing strength must
be taken into account when the final decision is made.

B-4.A.1-2 01.02.2004
OM - Part B Performance, GWC F-50
Rev.: 010

1.2 Landing

Max LW shall be evaluated before every landing for existing conditions.


This evaluation is based on the tables of RWY length requirements vs LW,
which are presented in the chapter GWC of the Route Manual.
RWY length requirements dependent on:
- Aircraft LW,
- RWY conditions (THR elevation, BA, friction coefficient),
- Weather (wind, OAT),
- Aircraft technical status (anti-skid inop.).

NOTE 1: In case of malfunctions happening en route landing distance


shall be increased:
- Landing with flaps zero – by 1.59 times the distance for
flaps 25 deg,
- Landing with a failed airframe de-icing system – by
1.35 times the distance for flaps 25 deg.
NOTE 2: During hot weather operation and/or flying to high altitude
airfields LW may be limited by climb requirements (see AOM
section Performance 8.04.01). But for day-to-day operation
this factor is not a limiting one.

2 Purpose
To provide operation within AFM limitations. To simplify allowable weights
calculations for day-to-day operations.

3 Scope
No flight operation can be performed unless take-off and landing
requirements of Route Manual chapter “GWC” are observed by the flight
crew.

4 Responsibility
Responsibility to ensure that TOW and LW are within the performance
limitations for every particular flight is laid down on the Commander.

01.02.2004 B-4.A.1-3
F-50 Performance, GWC OM - Part B
Rev.: 010

5 Procedure

Prior to flight:

a) Use GWC and define MTOW for the existing take-off conditions.
In the following cases precise MTOW calculation must be completed
using the second weight from the GWC and filling the form (see
“Documentation”):
1) The expected take-off weight is close or above the first weight from
the GWC (runway shortening taken into account as well).
2) Weather conditions: - QNH below 980 MPa and/or
- Tail wind more than 5 kts and/or
- OAT above TREF.
3) Runway conditions: - contaminated runway and/or
- BA worse than GOOD and/or
- FC worse than 0.4.
4) Aircraft technical status: anti-skid inoperative etc.
5) The Commander considers that it is necessary.

In other cases only a spot check of MTOW is required.


Evaluate possibility of RWY shortening (line-up and/or lift-off end
shortenings).
Take into account LW at destination, terrain in route and runway bearing
strength to calculate MTOW.
Use the lowest figure as a result and compare it with the expected TOW.

B-4.A.1-4 01.02.2004
OM - Part B Performance, GWC F-50
Rev.: 010

b) Calculate the expected LW overhead a destination:


LW = TOW – Trip fuel
Take into account max structural LW, runway bearing strength and
define Max LW as the lowest one. Compare it with the expected LW.
Define LDR for the following conditions:

LDR1 LDR2
Conditions (BA, friction coefficient, Conditions (BA, friction coefficient,
THR elevation) of the most THR elevation) of any RWY at
suitable RWY at destination (the destination, which must be, used
longest one, the best BA etc.), with regard to the expected wind
which may be used in zero wind. conditions at the time of arrival.
Expected LW
Zero wind Forecasted wind
Aircraft technical status
Apply temperature correction (if required)

Compare the results with LDA for the above-mentioned RWYs.


Evaluate possibility of RWY shortening

NOTE: Apply the same procedure for alternates.

c) If necessary, order actual take-off weight correction by means of fuel or


payload reduction.

01.02.2004 B-4.A.1-5
F-50 Performance, GWC OM - Part B
Rev.: 010

During the flight:

a) Before approach check actual LW in respect to actual weather (wind,


OAT), RWY conditions (LDA, THR elevation, BA, friction coefficient) and
aircraft technical status (anti-skid inoperative, flap zero landing, failed
airframe de-icing system).
b) If LDR exceeds LDA for runway-in-use, crew actions may be as follows:
- Request more suitable RWY (to increase LDA; to improve BA,
friction coefficient );
- Hold for RWY cleaning (to improve BA, friction coefficient);
- Hold to burn out the fuel (actual LW reduction);
- Divert to another airport with sufficient runway available etc.
c) In case of diverting or in-flight re-planning, consequent departure
limitation shall be kept in mind if variants exist.

6 Documentation

When necessary the Co-pilot shall fill the form “Calculation of Max Take-off
Weight” and the Commander shall check the results. This calculation shall
be attached and filed together with the rest flight documentation.

The form “Calculation of Max Take-off Weight” is presented below.

5.2 FUEL CALCULATION


5.2.1 General
Fuel for the flight is determined as an amount to fulfil the minimum
requirements set in JAR-OPS and any extra fuel requested by the
Commander.
The flight shall not be started with fuel on board below Minimum
Required, which is calculated as sum of Taxi Fuel, Trip Fuel, Contingency
Fuel, Alternate or Minimum Additional Fuel (depended on Flight Planning
Rule used) and Final Reserve Fuel.
NOTE:
1. For explanation of fuel terms see OM Part A Chapter 8.1.7.2.
2. The crew in case of in-flight re-planning must apply the same system of
minimum required fuel calculation.
Extra fuel, upon Commander’s discretion, shall provide safety, punctuality
and economical efficiency of the flight, taking into account weight
limitations, weather, traffic situation, time available, etc.
NOTE: Economy tankage (if available) should be adhered to, but shall never be
in conflict with the safety and punctuality of the flight.
Pre-flight precise fuel calculations for particular aircraft / weather
conditions are presented in RODOS Operational Flight Plan.

5.2.2 Minimum Required Fuel and Trip Time Calculation


for planning/re-planning purposes.
The following information is given to make Minimum Required fuel
calculation easier for pilots on the planning/re-planning stage, the same
procedure can be used when RODOS Flight Plan calculation is not
available. For precise calculations see AOM ch. 9 – Flight Planning.
NOTE: The trip fuel / time data are given for standard conditions (see 5.1.2),
zero wind and
20 000 kg of TOW.
Taxi Fuel - 50 kg, for prolonged taxi times use 6 kg/min.
Trip Fuel – obtained from trip time and fuel tables.
Contingency Fuel - 5% of Trip Fuel.
Alternate Fuel - obtained from trip time and fuel tables.
Final Reserve Fuel – 300 kg (30 minutes holding overhead an alternate,
IAS - 160kts.)
Extra fuel – may be calculated on the basis of 10 kg/min.

6 MASS AND BALANCE / LOADING


6.1 Mass and Balance calculation system
System definition
The mass and balance calculation system provides the necessary
information to load and operate aircraft within design weight and balance
limitations. The basic principle of the system is that for each element of the
load there is adequate value of Index Units assigned, taking into the
account its mass and location.
Index Units reflect moments about the index arm reference datum plane.
Safe loading envelope has been developed to ensure manufacturers
Limitations from section 1 are not exceeded.

Standard masses
The following standard mass apply to all scheduled flights unless otherwise
stated for any specific flight.

CREW MEMBERS PASSENGER

6.2.7 LAST MINUTE CHANGES (LMC)
General
General explanations for LMC are given in OM Part A chapter 8.1.8.6.
 Only one LMC calculation is permitted for traffic load items
(passengers, cargo, mail).
 For the Take-off fuel differences the same procedure as for traffic load
items LMC to be applied.
New Loadsheet is required whenever DOW/DOI have to be changed.
Limitations
 LMC weight shall not exceed the UNDERLOAD before LMC.
 Cargo Compartment load limitations shall be checked accordingly.

6.2.7.1 Electronic Loadsheet


Depending on the LMC weight and traffic load items number there are two
options of the Loadsheet correction.
1) Only Gross weight to be corrected whenever the LMC are limited to:
 Max 3 items of traffic load (pax, baggage, cargo, or mail) or its
distribution between the cabin sections/baggage compartments are
changed; and
 Max total LMC weight = +/- 100kg.
After completion of the LMC calculation, changed Gross Weight figures
shall be recorded next to the ADJ fields.
2) Gross weight and/or Index to be corrected whenever the LMC are
exceeding the LMC limitations given above. The Balance graphs (from
Manual Loadsheet) shall be used in this case.
After completion of the LMC calculation, changed Gross Weight figures
shall be recorded next to the ADJ fields. Changed Take-off
Index/Trim(Stab) setting be recorded next to appropriate figures
accordingly.
6.2.7.2 Manual Loadsheet
For manual Loadsheet there are no limitations on LMC weight and traffic
load items number, provided operational limitations (Ref. Section 1 of this
manual) are not exceeded and center of gravity is located within approved
area.
Filling of LMC fields is mandatory, whenever LMC procedure is applied.

7.1 LOADING INSTRUCTIONS
Loading instruction apply to loadmasters and handling agents who control
the weight and distribution of the traffic load (e.g., passengers, cargo,
baggage and mail) on all airBaltic Fokker 50 aircraft.
However, the Commander has the final authority concerning acceptance
and placement of the traffic load.
Normal Loading Instruction
Normally the ground handling personnel will decide how to distribute the
cargo between the compartments according to their instructions.
Designation of Cargo Compartments
The cargo compartment in the FWD (forward) part of the cabin is called C1,
and the compartment in the AFT part of the cabin is called C4.
Distribution of Cargo
If the weight of the cargo is below and up to 100 kg everything should be
placed in C4. Weights exceeding 100kg and up to 200 kg should be placed
in C1. Weights exceeding 200 kg should be divided and distributed with 2/3
in C1 and 1/3 in C4. If the flight has two destinations the cargo to the last
destination must be placed in C4 to avoid reloading.
Limitations
The following limitations are valid for the different compartments.

8 CONFIGURATION DEVIATION LIST


General Limitations
This Configuration Deviation List (CDL) is also found in Manufacturers
AFM. This section contains additional certificate limitations for operation of
the Fokker F27 Mk050 aircraft without certain secondary airframe and
engine cowl parts as listed herein. The certificate limitations in the AFM
are applicable except as amended herein. The parts not included in this
CDL may not be missing.
If an additional part is lost in flight, the airplane may not depart the airport at
which it landed following this event until it again complies with the
limitations of this section. This, of course, does not preclude the issuance
of a special permit to allow the aircraft to be flown to a point where
necessary repairs or replacements can be made. Reference to Operational
Manual Part A Section 8.
Replacement of missing items must be carried out at the first station where
the appropriate repair facilities are available. The decision of the
Commander to have allowable missing items corrected prior to the flight will
take precedence over the provisions contained in the CDL. The
Commander may request requirements above the minimum listed,
whenever in his judgement such added equipment is essential to the safety
of a particular flight under special conditions prevailing at the time.
However, he shall never accept lower requirements.
The numbering and designation of system in this section is based on ATA
spec. 100. The parts within each system are identified by functional
description and, when necessary, by panel numbers.

Limitations
The associated limitation(s) must be listed on a briefing card in the
Aeroplane Technical Log.
The pilot in command will be notified of each operation with (a) missing
part(s) by listing the missing part(s) in the flight or dispatch release.
The Aeroplane Technical Log must show appropriate notation covering the
missing part(s) on each flight.

01.07.2002 B-8.1-1
Fokker 50 Configuration Deviation List OM – Part B
Rev.: 007
No more than one part of any one system in this section may be missing
unless specifically designated combinations are indicated herein. Unless
otherwise specified herein, parts from different systems may be missing.
No more than a total of three such parts may be missing before takeoff.
Take-off performance penalties are applicable to take-off gross weights
which are limited by field length, first segment climb, second segment
climb, final segment climb or take-off flight path. En route performance
penalties are applicable to operations, which are limited by en route, flight
path performance requirements. Landing performance penalties are
applicable to landing gross weights, which are limited by landing field
length, landing climb or approach climb.

Performance Effects
Where a missing item results in a performance effect on the aircraft, the
effect is given in the Remarks and/or Exceptions column of the appropriate
item.

Aircraft Release
The action text should be in the action field as an answer to a missing item
that is deferred in accordance to Air Baltic CDL as follows:
- Short description of missing item,
- Reference: see limitations (if any) in briefing card.

MAINTENANCE ACTION
Normal Procedure, Technician available
When informed by the maintenance representative that the repairs can not
be made in time for departure, but that the aircraft may be dispatched
according to the CDL, it is the responsibility of the Commander to:
1. Check the CDL for an entry related to the missing item.
2. Check that the dispatch is permitted according to “Minimum Required”
and “Remarks and/or Exceptions”.

GENERAL DISCUSSION ON APPLIED METHOD


The determination of the performance restrictions on CDL items is based
on the procedure defined in the Engineering flight test guide for transport
category airplanes (FAA order 8110.8) paragraph 219: Accountability of
performance degradation relative to both minor design changes (external
exposure) and CDL items.
The procedure consists of the following method:
1. An analytical assessment of the performance degradation due to the
missing item, expressed in a drag increment ∆CD, is multiplied by a
conservative confidence factor of 2.
2. Determination of weight reduction ∆W in a way that the climb
performance in the second segment of the take-off flight path equals the
climb performance of the standard aircraft at limited take-off weight W.
The relation between ∆W and ∆CD is approximated by:

∆W/W = (∆CD/CL) / (T/W) (A-1)

with
CL = lift coefficient in the appropriate configuration.
T/W = thrust-to-weight ratio at max. take-off weight of the standard
aircraft.
Relation (A-1) shows that the largest weight reduction at constant
gradient occurs at small flap deflections with a low CL and (T/W)min
3. The performance degradation may be considered as being negligible if
∆W from 2. is less than 0.05% of the allowable take-off weight. A restriction
has been made that not more than 3 of the items identified as being
negligible, may be missing before take-off.
4. If the weight reduction AW from 2. is more than 0.05% of the take-off
weight, performance limitations must be included for the most unfavorable
conditions during take-off, en route and landing, viz.:
- take-off: final take-off climb (4th segment).
- en route: T/W at the start of a "drift-down" flight path in the en route
climb condition.
- landing: approach-climb condition at climb limited maximum landing
weight.

9.1 MINIMUM EQUIPMENT LIST


9.1.1 Minimum Equipment List Procedure
9.1.1.1 General
Objectives:
As an airplane is being type-certificated, all required equipment must be in
operating condition. If deviation from this type-certificated configuration
were not permitted, the aircraft could not be flown unless all such
equipment and systems where in operating condition. Experience has
proven that under specific conditions and during limited periods of time,
operational performance of each system or every piece of equipment is not
essential for safe operation of aircraft, as long as remaining systems,
instruments and equipment ensure and acceptable level of safety.
Therefore, certain conditional deviations from the original requirement can
be authorised, to permit continued or uninterrupted operation of the aircraft.
These deviations are published in MINIMUM EQUIPMENT LIST (MEL),
related to applicable (local) regulations and the individual operator’s
specific operations and particular definitions.
This Minimum Equipment List (MEL) is developed taking into consideration
airBaltic particular aircraft equipment, configuration and operational
conditions, kinds of operation and requirements set by the LVCAA.
This Minimum Equipment List (MEL):
Based on the manufacturers Master Minimum Equipment List (CAA). It
incorporates all current revisions and will not deviate from the Aeroplane
Flight Manual limitations or Emergency Procedures or from any
applicable Airworthiness Directive.
NOTE: An operator will have 90 days from the date of receipt of the
revision to revise the MEL.
Reduced time scales for implementations of safety information
related revisions might be required.

Contains only those items, which may be inoperative prior to dispatch,


provided limitations and appropriate procedures are observed. If
inoperative item is not covered by MEL- see “Procedure” below.
By authorisation of this MEL the LV CAA permits dispatch of the Aeroplane
with certain INOP item(s), provided an acceptable level of safety is
maintained.

25.07.2005 B-9.1.1-1
Fokker 50 Minimum Equipment List Procedure OM – Part B
Rev.: 013

Principles:
For the sake of brevity, the MEL does not include obviously required items
such as wings, control surfaces, engines, landing gear etc. nor does the list
include items that do not affected the airworthiness of aircraft, such as
galley equipment, entertainment system and passenger convenience
items, equipment for military mission (ATA 90 and up), etc… However, it is
important to note that ALL ITEMS WHICH ARE RELATED TO THE
AIRWORTHINES OF IRCRAFT AND NOT INCLUDED ON THIS LIST ARE
AUTOMATICALY REQUIRED TO BE OPERATIVE EACH FLIGHT. Thus
the failure or absence of any items, in excess of those allowed to be
inoperative by MEL, cause the aircraft is not airworthy.
For the items where is stated that a performance correction shall be
applied in accordance with the Airplane Flight Manual, operation of the
aircraft with the inoperative equipment is only allowed if the performance
correction is presented in the Airplane Flight Manual of the particular
aircraft.
9.1.1.2 Purpose
The purpose of this MEL is to establish acceptable balance between safety
and punctuality by permitting continued or uninterrupted operation of the
aeroplane with INOP item(s) during Rectification Period.
9.1.1.3 Scope
The provisions of the MEL apply to Certifying Technical staff and flight crew
(Commander) until the Aeroplane begins to move under its own power.
NOTE: If a failure occurs during the taxi phase before the start of the
take-off roll, Commander shall refer to the MEL before decision
is taken whether to continue the flight or return to parking
stand.

B-9.1.1-2 25.07.2005
OM – Part B Minimum Equipment List Procedure Fokker 50
Rev.: 013

9.1.1.4 Responsibility
Certifying Technical staff is responsible to:
- make every effort to have the aircraft fully serviceable prior to
the scheduled departure;
- inform the MCC duty manager about the defect and expected
operations under the MEL procedures as soon as possible;
- inform the Commander on possible consequences the defect
may have on other related systems, if requested;
- issue MEL advice message, if requested;
- ensure that the defect is positively identified and/or isolated;
- complete MEL Procedure;
- issue the Certificate of Release to Service (CRS)

Commander is responsible to:


- evaluate if aeroplane technical status is adequate for the
intended flight / operations;
- report all known or suspected defects;
- complete MEL procedure, if certifying technician is not
available;
- accept an aeroplane with known defect(s) for intended flight
conditions;
- ensure that all technical and operational consequences are
fully understood by all involved crewmembers.
9.1.1.5 Definitions
For the purpose of this MEL the following definitions shall apply:
"(M)” symbol indicates a requirement for a specific maintenance
procedure, which must be accomplished prior to departure with the listed
INOP item and is published in the DDG. These procedures are
accomplished by LVCAA or JAR-145 approved personnel.
NOTE: In exceptional cases (M) item(s) which do not require special knowledge,
skill, use of tools or test equipment may be accomplished by not certifying
personnel (pilot or maintenance staff) provided:
a) An acceptance is granted by certifying technician to conduct required
actions; and

25.07.2005 B-9.1.1-3
Fokker 50 Minimum Equipment List Procedure OM – Part B
Rev.: 013
b) The result of these actions is discussed with and accepted by
certifying technician by phone or by other means of communication.
The satisfactory accomplishment of all maintenance procedures,
regardless of who performs them, is the responsibility of the airBaltic.
"(O)” symbol indicates a requirement for a specific operational procedure,
which must be accomplished in planning for and/or operating with
the listed item INOP. Normally the flight crew accomplishes these
procedures. These appropriate procedures are published in the
DDG.
“AIRWORTHINESS Related item(s)” required for safe operation of the
aeroplane
“CDL item(s)”. Secondary airframe or engine parts missing, without which
operation could be authorised according to Configuration Deviation
List (CDL) Procedure.
"DAY” operation is any flight conducted from the point of take-off to
landing between 30 minutes before sunrise and 30 minutes after
sunset.

“DDG” (Dispatch Deviation Guide) describes necessary actions that must


be taken by pilots or maintenance staff when a MEL is open up.
"Deactivated" and "Secured" means that the specified component must
be put into an acceptable condition for safe flight.
“Defect” any confirmed abnormal condition of an item whether or not this
could eventually result in a failure.
"Dispatch Note" is only mentioned in the DDG and is added to clarify the
MEL item for dispatch purpose if needed.
"Flight Day" - a 24-hour period (from midnight to midnight) during which at
least one flight is scheduled for the affected aeroplane.
"Icing Condition" – outside air temperature (OAT) on the ground and for
take-off , or total air temperature on ground, or total air temperature
(TAT) in flight, is 10 deg. C or below and visible moisture in any form
is present (such as clouds, fog with visibility of 1.6 km or less, rain,
snow, sleet and ice crystals).

B-9.1.1-4 25.07.2005
OM – Part B Minimum Equipment List Procedure Fokker 50

"INOP" any time a system and/or component malfunctions to the extent


that it does not accomplish its intended purpose and/or is not
consistently functioning within its designed operating limit(s) or
tolerances.
“Item” the equipment, system, components or function.
“MEL advice message” Written or telephoned message from the airBaltic
Technical Operation Department stating that there is “No Technical
Objections” for dispatch according to MEL..
NOTE: to receive a written “MEL advice message”, Commander to provede
also written detailed complaint to Certifying technician.
"Notes" in column 4 provides additional information for crew member or
maintenance consideration. Notes are used to identify applicable
material which is intended to assist with compliance, but do not
relieve the operator of the responsibility for compliance with all
applicable requirements. Notes are not a part of the provisos.
Different possibilities may be considered for an item. They will be
identified by a),b),c). Within one possibility, different conditions may
be required. They will be identified by 1),2),3).... .
"Passenger Convenience Items" means those items related to
passenger comfort or entertainment such as, but not limited to,
galley equipment, ashtrays, overhead reading lamps, toilets, water,
waste etc.
( * ) "Placarded" each INOP item must be placarded to inform and remind
the crewmembers and maintenance personnel of the equipment
condition. To the extent practicable, placard should be located
adjacent to the control or indicator for the item affected such that it is
clear to operating crew that the associated system is inoperative.
"Visible Moisture" means an atmospheric environment containing water
in any form that can be seen in natural or artificial light; for example,
clouds, fog, rain, sleet, hail or snow.
"VMC" (Visual Meteorological Conditions) means the atmospheric
environment is such that would allow a flight to proceed under the
Visual Flight Rules applicable to the flight. This does not preclude
operating under Instrument Flight Rules.

-11-1 Airframe de-icing system (inner wing de-icing boots)
Light icing is defined as icing of which the rate of accumulation may
create a problem if the flight is prolonged under those circumstances
for a period of over one hour.
Asymmetrical ice build-up on the inner wing can occur as a result of
propeller airflow. Aileron trim can be used for compensation until flight
diversion is possible.

Engine Electronic Control
Dispatch with one ENG EC in manual mode (MAN light
illuminated)
Apply procedure below.
Procedure:
The torque bug of the affected EEC may be off.
The torque of the affected engine may in that case be set using the torque
bug of the other engine.
In case of an "EEC normal" engine failure during TO, the automatic uptrim
of the MFC engine (APR) is inoperative. To obtain maximum take-off
performance the GA rating (MTO) should be used for take-off.
Once take-off power (GA) is set, the torque of the electronic controlled
engine will
follow any change of the bug during take-off and climb.
The torque of the MFC engine may vary due to power lapse rate and/or
bleed shutoff in case of engine failure.
The resulting difference in take-off power requires calculation of a possibly
reduced performance limited take-off weight.
Before starting:
Calculate performance limited take-off weight as follows:
- Enter Individual or Quick Reference TL table with OAT (Maximum
operating temperature is ISA + 26).
- Find climb or runway length limited take-off weight.
- Apply correction: subtract 1000 kg from performance limited take-off
weight.
- Take-off and landing with TAILWIND prohibited.
- No correction for HEADWIND.
NOTE: When available refer to Individual TL table for EEC MAN instead.
- Determine take-off torque from power setting table in QRH.
(Table: Rating: Go Around / NP: 100% / IAS: Approx. 60 kt.)
(Placard above TRQ indicator)
In case torque bug of the affected ENG EC is inoperative:
To be prepared for loss of torque bug information for both engines in flight
after
which torque bugs must be set manually, determine and note CLB, CRZ.

 Dräger Smoke Hood (PBE)


General information:
Smoke Hood OXYCREW is a self-contained Protective Breathing
Equipment (PBE) for use on aircraft board by the flight and cabin crew in
the scenario of smoke, in-flight fire. The independence of a portable
(chemical oxygen) breathing system offers maximum freedom to combat
smaller fires on board.
The smoke hood (OXYCREW) consist of heat protecting hood with a
closed-circuit breathing system which compromises a chemical oxygen
generator and an oral-nasal mask with integrated speech transmitter. All of
which are stored in a vacuum package and box.
Start-up:
The smoke hood is equipped with a starter cartridge, which supplies
oxygen for about 1 min immediately and independent of respiration as soon
as the user activates the starter cartridge. During the commencement of
respiration the carbon dioxide used with the smoke hood is a highly
reactive substance for producing oxygen through the duration of use within
few exhalations into mask.
Communication:
The wearer of the smoke hood can communicate with an unprotected
person at a distance of 4 m. Intercom and megaphone also can be used.
This is made possible by a speech transmitter, which is fitted to the mask.
Vision:
To provide a large field of vision to the user the design of the hood includes
a large visor. Additional ventilation tube prevents the visor and glasses
from fogging. The hood ventilation provides a small over-pressure in the
hood to avoid harmful smoke entering the hood.
Duration:
The duration is a minimum of
20 min, according to the 2.6
workload profile. If necessary, it
is possible to restart an already
doffed unit. 2-3 exhalations into
the breathing mask commence
the re-activation.
End of use:
The use of the smoke hood can
be terminated any time within
duration time by doffing the
hood. After doffing the
generation of oxygen will slow
down rapidly. The end of duration is recognizable by increasing breathing

CAUTION:
 The neck seal must not be damaged when putting on the mask. Be
careful with sharp objects.
 Plait-like hairstyles and neck-places must not be placed in the sealing
area they have to be positioned above the neck seal.
 Avoid physical effort. With a lower respiration frequency the OXYCREW
protection will last longer.
 During the operation the air will be warmed up. This is due to chemical
reaction.
 A slightly salty or dusty taste may occur which may derive from particles in
the cartridge and which will not impair the performance of the
OXYCREW.

11 EMERGENCY EVACUATION
PROCEDURES
11.1 GENERAL
This section outlines both general and specified emergency procedures for
Flight crews on all aircraft operated by airBaltic.
The procedures are of vital importance and were developed as a result of
valuable knowledge obtained from actual emergencies. They minimise
motion, reduce injuries, and save lives.
No one set of procedures can be written to cover all emergencies, and
emergency landings are never the same. Each crewmember is trained in
emergency procedures and should be responsible for assessing conditions
and acting accordingly. Swift and intelligent action is based on the Flight
crews knowledge of cabin safety procedures and use of emergency
equipment. The ability to think clearly and operate calmly requires
knowledge of what to do. There is no substitute for good judgement and
common sense.
Emergency situations are relatively infrequent but since they happen
quickly there is no time for reading directions on equipment or reviewing
the manual. If the Flight crews know procedures and apply them with
intelligent thought and quick action in a calm, authoritative manner,
chances for survival for all passengers onboard are greatly increased. Your
appearance, attitude, and degree of outward composure before, during,
and after an emergency is of extreme importance in averting passenger
anxiety and/or panic.

11.1.1 Types of Emergency Situations


Emergency situations that may necessitate evacuations have been divided
into two categories:

Planned: Commander tells the crew the nature of the emergency.


The crew has time to clearly and positively brief passengers on the
situation and what the passengers are expected to do for their own
safety and that of their fellow travellers.

Unplanned: Situation happens during taxi, take-off, or landing. The


crew has no time to co-ordinate a course of action with the
Commander. Cabin Crew Members cannot count on the pilots for
instructions and assistance in passenger evacuation. Remember: 80
% of emergency landings are unplanned!

11.1.2 Preferred Use of Exits


Availability of various exits will differ from one situation to another.
Crewmembers on the scene must make the decision as to which exists will
be the most preferable under the prevailing circumstances. If ditching, use
rear exits only on crew command.

11.2 DUTIES OF ALL CREW MEMBERS


Emergency evacuation procedures (Duties of all crewmembers and the
Handling of the passengers in the event of forced landing, ditching or other
emergency):

11.2.1 General
This emergency evacuation instruction explains the vital actions which
have to be taken in connection with take-off, landing, emergency landing
on land or on water (ditching), taxiing or when stationary on the apron, e.g.
during refuelling, as well as unprepared evacuation and whenever a
situation with risk of fire occurs.
Since it is a well-established fact that it is the unexpected emergencies that
cause most of the injuries to passengers and crew, it is of utmost
importance that the crewmembers know the evacuation duties by heart.
The Commander shall give a clear order when he wants the aircraft
evacuated and should always order such an evacuation if doubts exist
regarding the presence of a fire.
However, if no order is received from the flight deck (pilots might be
injured) and the necessity of an immediate evacuation is evident, the Cabin
Crew shall initiate the evacuation and proceed in accordance with the
instruction in the CAH.
The safety of the occupants depends on crash protection, evacuation and,
in the case of ditching or landing in remote areas on survival. The most
important duties of the crew will therefore be:
- To provide the best possible crash protection for all passengers.
- To have the passengers well prepared for a quick evacuation.
- To execute a quick evacuation of the passengers.
- To assist the passengers as required after the evacuation.
NOTE. Whenever smoke, fire or other abnormal conditions are observed, the
Commander must be informed immediately.
(a) Initiate Evacuation (in an emergency) - The Commander must be
consulted prior to executing any evacuation; however, an evacuation
may be initiated by a Cabin Crew Member if his/her judgement so
dictates (i.e., in case of fire, serious structural damage, or no
response from cockpit, ditching).

01.02.2004 B-11.2-1
Fokker 50 Emergency Evacuation Procedures OM – Part B
Rev.: 010

(b) Assess Conditions - Try to ascertain what type of emergency you are
having and what exits may or may not be usable. It is important to
consider the possibility that the aircraft will shift after landing.
Continue to assess conditions throughout the evacuation, both inside
and outside the aircraft. It may be necessary to temporarily halt an
evacuation, if passengers are piling up outside, to give assistants
time to get these people away. Also, an exit that is initially usable
may become unusable as the evacuation proceeds (i.e., shift in wind
direction with fire evacuation or shifting of aircraft after landing due to
gravity).
(c) Activate Exit - Check for fire/obstructions before opening exit.
activate the exit, and call passengers in your direction.
(d) Evacuation Commands - Try to use positive commands. These are
easier to understand and - easier to accept, psychologically.
It is advantageous to use a cadenced voice to shout commands.
This will prevent the otherwise natural tendency of the voice to rise
and thereby connote panic. Do not touch passengers during an
evacuation. Touching passengers as they leave causes each
passenger to pause for your "permission to go" and delays the
evacuation.
GET PASSENGERS OUT ANY WAY YOU CAN! If a passenger
should freeze in the doorway, get passengers behind to help by
buckling knees of first passenger, etc.
(e) Incapacitated Passengers - Passengers who would difficulty
evacuating an A/C in an emergency should be seated as near as
possible to floor level exists but not in an emergency exit row.
(f) Unusable Exits - You must do two things in case of unusable exit:
(g) Redirect, and tell why you are redirecting. This will avoid confusion
and facilitate the evacuation. FOR EXAMPLE; "GO BACK, FIRE!",
“EXIT BLOCCED!”.
(h) Redirect Passengers - When only a few passengers are left at your
exit, look around to determine if you should redirect passengers from
another exit to your exit. When making this judgement, take into
consideration the time it takes to get their attention and to tell them
what you want them to do and the time it takes for them to move to
your exit. It may be quicker for them to remain at their exit.

OM – Part B Emergency Evacuation Procedures Fokker 50
Rev.: 010

(i) Crew Evacuation.


For obvious reasons, pilots should also know the other members
duties. Normally, but not necessarily, the Commander will initiate the
evacuation. Stop the aircraft if not already stopped by itself, and set
parking brakes. When aircraft is parked Commander calls -'SHUT
DOWN ENGINES', -EVACUATION CHECKLIST, then both pilots
should perform their check items, independent of each other. It is
essential to have the engines shut down prior the evacuation starts,
therefore that vital item should be included in call. In windy
conditions and if fire outside the fuselage consider aliening the
aircraft into the wind to keep flames away from both the fuselage and
fuel vents.

11.2.2 After Landing/Ditching

Commander:
Perform duties according to emergency checklist.
EMERGENCY EVACUATION:
(a) If emergency evacuation is not necessary, inform through the PA
system:
"REMAIN SEATED".
(b) Order evacuation of the aircraft.
(c) Proceed to the cabin area, bring the axe if necessary.
(d) Assume command.
(e) Direct and assist the passengers in evacuation as condition
dictates.
(f) Check that all passengers have been evacuated.
(g) Provide first aid, arrange for passenger comfort.

Co-pilot:
Perform duties according to emergency checklist. EMERGENCY
EVACUATION • Bring the fire extinguisher if necessary and evacuate
through forward Emergency exit if possible. If suitable, evacuate through
the windows using escape rope and assist the passenger evacuation on
the light side of the aircraft and direct the passengers away from the
aircraft.

Fokker 50 Emergency Evacuation Procedures OM – Part B
Rev.: 010

11.2.3 After evacuation


Duties:
(a) Assemble passengers a safe distance away from aircraft. (Allow
no smoking)
(b) Make a head count of all passengers and crew members.
(c) Render all possible first aid.
(d) Post a guard to make sure no mail, baggage, or parts of the
aircraft are disturbed.
(e) Make sure airBaltic authorities are notified and remain available to
answer questions.
(f) Make no comment to the press. Refer them to the staff of Public
and Governmental Affairs Department.
(g) Report of Emergency - The crew must file a report within 24 hours
of the emergency.

The report should include, as a minimum:


− Time crew boarded aircraft.
− Equipment checked.
− Narrative report of every leg flown.
− Time when Cabin Crew Member first noticed emergency.
− Steps taken by Cabin Crew Member to prepare for emergency.
− Actual evacuation.
− Passenger reaction.
− Everything done for passengers by Cabin Crew Member until
released by the CAA or the Company.
− In general, everything should be included from the time the crew
boarded the aircraft until the time they were released. The report must
be given to the Chief pilot.

11.2.4 Authority of Commander


Chain of Command:
- Commander
- First Officer
- Cabin Crew Member #1
- Cabin Crew Member #2
- Cabin Crew Member #3

During all phases of flight, the Commander is ultimately responsible for the
entire conduct of the flight, the passengers, the crew, and the ground
personnel. In the event that the Commander becomes incapacitated or is
absent, the First Officer will succeed in command.

1. The Commander of an aircraft is directly responsible for, and is the


final authority as to the operation of that aircraft.
2. In an emergency requiring immediate action, the Commander has
the authority as to the operation of that aircraft.

3. Any potential or actual emergency situation should be immediately


brought to the attention of the Commander.
NOTE: If your Commander instructs you to perform your duties by what you
believe to be in conflict with Company Policies/Procedures, you may
respectfully bring this to his attention but must abide by his instructions. If his
instructions remain unchanged, you shall submit the incident in writing to your
Chief -Pilot and Chief Cabin Attendant.

11.4 CABIN PREPARATION FOR


EMERGENCY SITUATION
11.4.1 Passenger Behaviour
It is difficult to predict how passengers will respond to an emergency
situation. The following are a few guidelines:
Two types of behaviour problems in emergency situation:
Panic - Passengers run about with no direction, literally stampeding to find
a way out
Shock - Passangers are traumatised by what is happening: they refuse to
believe it and just sit quietly in their seats.

NOTE: The Cabin Crew Member can halt both these behaviour patterns, or
prevent them in the first place, with immediate and direct leadership.
Passenger will follow good direction. They're waiting to be told what to do
and will usually follow instructions they can understand. Your instructions
must be simple and clear.
Passengers who have responsibilities beyond themselves usually cope
better than those with only themselves to worry about. You function
because you have work to do, and it is with passengers. Involve them.
Have them look after each other and other passengers who need more
help.

11.4.2 Emergency Exit Seating


During boarding, and throughout your flight, do not allow the following to be
seated in the Emergency Exit:
− Passengers with handicaps that would interfere with the ability
to open the exit quickly or move through the exit quickly.
− Women / men with infants or children
− Prisoners
− Deportees
− Seat baggage

Fokker 50 Emergency Evacuation Procedures OM – Part B
Rev.: 007

11.4.3 Brace Positions


Brace positions are intended to give passengers some protection against
neck and spinal injuries during sudden deceleration. Brace positions should
be used any time there is the remotest possibility of sudden stops, or loss
of directional control during an emergency landing.
Cabin Crew
Check to be sure all passengers can get in a brace position. Cabin Crew
should demonstrate the brace position so passengers can see him/her
Passengers will assume the brace position approximately one minute
before Impact, upon hearing the brace signal and the command from the
Cabin Crew to "brace.1' The brace signal will be initiated by the
Commander
Passengers should remain in the "brace" position during and after landing

a. Forward Facing Passenger Seat With a Seat Immediately in Front


Instruct passengers to:
- Place feet flat on floor;
- Cross your wrists and place them on the seat back in front of you;
- Lean forward, rest your forehead on your wrists.

b. Forward Facing Passenger Seat With No Seat in Front


Instruct passengers to
- Place feet flat on floor;
- Bend over with your face in your lap;
- Clasp your elbows under your knees.

c. Small Children
A child large enough to be securely belted in a seat can use the
standard brace position with an adult seated next to them Have the
parent put one hand on the child's back, to be sure the child does not sit
up at the time of impact, and the other arm on the seat back in front with
the head resting on arm. Coats or other soft items can be padded
behind them to take up the slack of the seat belt

OM – Part B Emergency Evacuation Procedures Fokker 50
Rev.: 007

d. Infants
The safest place for an infant to be is in an approved child restraint. If
this is not possible, give instructions as follows
- Instruct the passenger to wrap the infant in padding
- Hold the infant with arm bracing its back and head
- Place horizontally across your body
- Lean forward
e. Pregnant Women
Have pregnant women fasten seat belt tight and as low as possible
across their hips.

f. Aft Cabin Crew Jump Seat


- Sit well back in seat, rest head back and firmly against headrest
- Sit on hands, palms up, feet flat on floor

g. Forward Cabin Crew Jump Seat


- Place feet flat on floor
- Blend over with your face in your lap
- Clasp your elbows under you knees

11.5 EMERGENCY LANDING


11.5.1 Planned emergency landing
The Cabin Crew co-ordinates with the Commander to determine the details
of the emergency and any special instructions, such as signal for when to
assume impact position. If time is limited, condense your activities as
necessary to accomplish the more important items first and quickly. If more
extensive time is available, it is advisable to accomplish the briefing and
preparations in steps. This will enable you to make more frequent contact
with each passenger and to give them something to do periodically. Verbal
contacts exert a great influence during emergencies. However, you must
keep yourself under complete control and act and speak decisively in a
clear, calm tone of voice.
In providing initial information to passengers, they should be given general
information, such as the nature of the emergency, the system you will use in
issuing further instructions, the possibility of rearrangement of passengers
in order to properly seat assistants, and the type of landing expected.
Speak to passengers in calm, reassuring tone.
In a planned emergency the nine steps to remember are:
1. Crew Co-ordination.
During or immediately after the declaration of an emergency the Commander or
selected Cockpit Crew Member will inform C/C. Urgent call from cockpit to C/C by 3
Hi/Low chimes or by using the P/A system “CABIN CREWMEMBER TO COCKPIT”
means:
Cabin Crew Member to call the Flight Deck immediately for instructions.
The Commander advises Cabin Crew Member of an emergency:
T - Type of emergency
E - Exits to be used
S - Signal to brace/Signal to evacuate
T - Time to prepare
 Synchronise watches
 Repeat information back
2. Passenger briefing.
3. Passenger relocation.
4. Able-body person briefing.
5. Describe 'Brace position'.

30.01.2006 B-11.5-1
Fokker 50 Emergency Evacuation Procedures OM – Part B
Rev.: 014
6. Inform ' Brace signal'.
7. Secure cabin and galley.
8. Report to Commander.
9. Cabin Crew preparation.

11.5.2 Planned Ditching


Prepare as for other emergency landings.
Have the Cabin Crew instruct each passenger on use of life vest.
Life vests are located under each passenger seat.
Cabin Crew life vests are located at the Cabin Crew station.
Extra life vests can be used if necessary.
CAUTION: DO NOT INFLATE LIFE VEST UNTIL CLEAR OF AIRCRAFT.
DO NOT open any exits or leave seat until aircraft has come to a
COMPLETE STOP.
NOTE: When the aircraft contacts the water, there will be two or more distinct
shocks felt. The second shock is usually the most severe. Caution the
passengers not to get up or release their seat belts after the first shock is felt.
They may be easily fooled into thinking that the aircraft has stopped when it is
actually still moving at great speed and the most severe impact is yet to be felt.
PREPARE YOURSELF - ALSO REMEMBER: The passengers will be
depending on you to help them to safety after the aircraft is stopped. You
must see to it that you are available when needed.

11.5.3 Before Landing/Ditching


Commander:
(a) Give command for crew to prepare for emergency
landing/ditching: "Emergency Station", and order distress
message to be sent.
(b) Set course for most logical point of landing under existing
circumstances.
(c) Put on the life vest if ditching.
(d) Emergency light - ON.
(e) Give signal "BRACE BRACE BRACE" 60 seconds before
touchdown or by flashing the SEAT BELT sign. if PA is
inoperative.
Co-pilot:
(a) Send distress message (MAY DAY) and send Position, Course,
Type of trouble, Intentions and assistance need.

Rev.: 014
(b) Activate the ELT by moving the remote switch to on.
(c) Activate Transponder code 7700.
(d) Put on the life vest if ditching.
(e) Secure and stow loose objects in the cockpit, check the cockpit
to cabin door position as directed by Commander.
(f) Prepare to take over the Commanders duties.
Observer:
(a) Perform duties assigned by the Commander.
(b) Put on the life vest if ditching.
(c) Take seat in the cabin prior to landing, if possible.
Cabin Crew:
Perform duties according to CCH.

11.5.4 Unprepared Landing/Ditching


Commander:
Advise Cabin Crew and issue necessary orders.
Direct qualified deadheading crewmembers and /or observers as you deem
necessary to occupy available seat in cabin and assist in later action.
Determine with Cabin Crew signal for the following if necessary:
Signal indicating that a landing is imminent and the passengers and Cabin
Crew should assume the BRACE position. (Flashing cabin signs 1min
before impact if PA is inoperative.)
Signal that the evacuation should begin or not, and possible what Cabin
Crew do if this signal cannot be given.
If possible, avoid landing until emergency equipment and crew are standing
by.
Advice cabin to brace for impact 1min before impact.
In case of fire, position of aircraft to provide the greatest number of fire free
exits if possible
NOTE: Cockpit crew should be alert to signal Cabin Crew and
passengers by PA system, voice or other means to commence
evacuation or remain seated after landing when these
preparations have been, made. If evacuation has been started,
shut down all engines.

Cabin Crew:
