Introduction

The CTC Aviation (Ab-initio Training) Operations Manual governs the pilot training courses

offered by the Company in accordance with EASA Part ORA. It is a Controlled Document as

defined in the Company Quality System and it is approved by the UK CAA and acceptable to the

Director of the CAA NZ.

The Manual is issued by the Head of Training (Ab-initio Training) and its provisions are

mandatory for Staff and Trainee pilots. The general orders apply to each of CTC Aviation’s sites

- Bournemouth, Nursling, Hamilton and Phoenix - except where specified in the respective

paragraph heading.

All Staff and Trainee pilots are obliged to read, and sign as having read, the Operations Manual

on first being employed in training or testing Trainees, or joining a course. Subsequently, they

are to sign for any amendment as soon as possible after the issue of the amendment.

Errors in, omissions from, or suggested amendments to the document should be submitted to

the Head of Training (HT). The HT may issue advanced notices of amendments in the form of

Notices to Crew (NOTOCs). NOTOCs have the effect of superseding the orders contained herein

until such a time as an approved amendment to this manual is issued by the HT or the NOTOCs

period of validity expires. The reading and signing of the NOTOCs is facilitated electronically

through the CAT Ops Web Site.

Some of the courses covered by this document are conducted in airspace not regulated by the

UK CAA. Where conflictions occur between the Regulating Authority’s requirements and those

of this document or EU legislation, the most restrictive of the conditions are to apply.

receipt of which is to be acknowledged. Once accessed and downloaded, that copy of

the document becomes uncontrolled and it is the responsibility of the user to ensure

that they are consulting the latest published edition.

6. Trainee Discipline and Disciplinary Action

6.1 Punctuality

6.1.1 All flying training is conducted with strict adherence to scheduled times, in the

same manner as an airline operation. In particular:

All Trainees are to report for duty at least one hour, or earlier if required by the

Instructor, before the scheduled time of departure (‘brakes off’ time). In the case of a

simulator flight, this minimum time is reduced to 30 minutes.

With regard to theory training, Trainees must arrive at such a time as to be ready to

commence the scheduled training on time.

Repeated instances of unpunctuality may result in disciplinary action being taken

against a Trainee.

6.2 Standard of Dress and Grooming

For a full description of the required standards of dress and grooming reference should

be made to the details contained in the Uniform and Personal Standards section of the

Joining Details and Trainee Handbook. In broad terms the minimum standards required

are summarised below:

6.2.1 Instructors and Trainees shall wear their uniform as issued at all times when on

duty, including epaulettes. In addition to the issued items, Instructors and

Trainees shall wear plain black shoes and black socks, CTC company tie/scarf

and their identity cards.

6.2.2 All dress is to be clean, with neatly pressed shirt and trousers, and shoes

polished.

6.2.3 Hair is to be cut and styled as would be required in an airline

6.2.4 For males, no ponytails may be worn and any facial hair must be neat and trim

6.2.5 For females, hair must be worn in a tidy fashion, and if longer than shoulder

length must be worn up.

6.3 Disciplinary Action

All Trainees are required to sign either the Training Agreement with Airline Placement Ltd,

the sponsor for the CTC WINGS Programme, or a CAT (UK) Training Agreement for other

Trainees and are bound by the contents therein. Failure to do so will result in the actions

described in the contract.

7. Authorisation and Documentation of Flights

7.1 While operating in UK airspace, pilots are to comply with the UK Air Navigation Order

(ANO), Air Navigation (General) Regulations and the Rules of the Air.

Operations Manual


7.2 While operating in airspace under the Authority of CAA NZ, pilots are to comply with NZ

Civil Aviation Rules (CARs)

7.3 While operating in airspace under the Authority of the US FAA, pilots are to comply with

US Federal Aviation Regulations (FARs)

7.4 No requirement defined in this manual shall override the ANO, CARs or FARs.

7.5 All flights that take place under the jurisdiction of CAT are to be authorised in advance by

a CAT Instructor who is approved by the appropriate CFI for the purposes of authorising

the flight. Where a flight involves multiple sectors, each sector is to be authorised

separately as follows:

7.5.1 Dual Instructional Flights. The Instructor conducting the flight is to self-

authorise.

7.5.2 SPIC Flights. The Instructor who is accompanying the Trainee pilot is to

authorise the flight.

7.5.3 Solo and PIC Flights. For operations in the UK authorisations are to be in

accordance with the ANO. For operations in NZ authorisations are to be in

accordance with the NZ CARs and completion of the Trainee Flight Authorisation

form - Appendix 41. For operations in the USA authorisations are to be in

accordance with the FARs.

7.5.4 Flights by Qualified Pilots. Flights by qualified staff pilots are to be self-

authorised or authorised by a CAT Instructor when under training. Such

authorisation merely confirms that the nature of the intended flight is acceptable

to CAT.

7.6 Duty Flight Instructor (DFI) in NZ - DFIs will be nominated daily and displayed on the

electronic schedule. Their role is to provide a second tier of supervision for solo trainees.

The primary purpose is to promote flight safety and to monitor that solo pilots are

operating in accordance with published information as well as the company standard

operating procedures outlined within the Operations and Training manuals. DFI Duties

and responsibilities are defined in RG010.

7.7 Trainee pilots exercising the privileges of their PPL when flying CAT aircraft must be

authorised in accordance with 7.5.3 above.

7.8 Technical Logs

7.8.1 After each flight, the following information is to be entered into the technical log

by the PIC:

Take-off and landing times – (UTC – UK, Local time – NZ and USA);

Number of landings - (UK and USA)

7.8.2 In the UK and USA - If no further defects have arisen since the previous flight, ‘no

further defects’ (or ‘NFD’) is to be entered in the technical log and signed by the

PIC.

7.8.3 In NZ - On completion of the flight the PIC is to sign if the aircraft is serviceable

or unserviceable.

7.8.4 Defects that do not affect the airworthiness of the aircraft and which appear on

the Acceptable Deferred Defects List (ADDL) are to be entered in the technical log

but may be deferred by an Instructor or engineer. In this event, the aircraft may

be flown before the defect is cleared, but the defect must be entered into the

ADDL page in the technical log.

Operations Manual


7.9 Electronic Flight Log Database Entry

To facilitate the prompt and accurate recording of flight times and details, all events are

to be recorded using the Electronic Flight Log Database Entry.

It is the PIC responsibility to enter the flight details into the data base immediately after

flight. Certain required details are also to be entered onto the paper authorisation sheet

prior to the flight to ensure flight responsibilities and authorisation is recorded. For

synthetic flight training times and details it is the instructor’s responsibility to enter the

session details into the data base immediately after the completion of the event.

8. Preparation of Flying Programme

8.1 A flying programme is to be prepared each working day for the following working day.

The programme as approved is to reflect the priorities as determined at the weekly

Training Delivery Meeting. It is to take into account:

Forecast weather

Course and individual Trainee progress

Ground school attendance,

Expected aircraft and STD availability

Expected Instructor and Trainee availability

Known airspace restrictions and NOTAMs

8.2 In allocating aircraft to Instructors and Trainees, the scheduler is to consider the

following:

Aircraft equipment requirements of different syllabus lessons

Allocation of Instructors to Trainees - the primary instructor should be first choice,

followed by the Trainee’s secondary instructor.

8.3 The flying programme is to be displayed on a board or electronic display in the

Operations Room showing the:

Aircraft or simulator number

Planned departure and arrival times

Names of the crew

Lesson number

8.4 The flying programme may display additional information such as ground school lectures,

classroom allocation and phase briefs, but not such that it detracts from or obscures the

mandatory items at paragraph 8.3.

8.5 The next day’s flying programme should be published no later than 18:00 local time and

any late changes required after 20:00 must be reported directly to the Trainee by

operations staff.

aircraft prior to start, they are to shout “Clear prop” in such a manner that

anyone near the aircraft will be able to hear the warning.

27.5.3 No engines are to be started when the aircraft is partly or wholly inside a hangar,

or when the slipstream will be directed through open hangar doors, or may cause

disruption or damage to persons or other aircraft or equipment.

27.5.4 Before starting the engines, pilots are to ensure there is sufficient space ahead to

taxi the aircraft.

27.5.5 During the day, the aircraft strobes are to be turned on prior to start up. At

night, pilots are to ensure that the navigation lights are illuminated and the

landing light is flashed twice prior to starting the engines.

27.5.6 Instructors or Trainees are not permitted to start engines by hand swinging the

propeller.

27.6 Starting Engines using Ground Power

The following procedures are promulgated for use during external power starting and

complement procedures contained in the AFM.

27.6.1 When required to use external power, pilots are to thoroughly familiarise

themselves with external power procedures in the flight manual.

27.6.2 Standard hand signals (refer Reference Guide RG002 – extracts from CAP393 sec

2) are to be used between the pilot and external operator.

27.6.3 Prior to connecting the external power supply to the aircraft, its master switch

and the aircraft’s electric master switch are to be confirmed “off” and the

external operator will confirm the correct voltage has been selected.

27.6.4 The external power supply is to be positioned in view of the pilot and clear of

propellers. Once connected no slack is to be left in the cable.

27.6.5 The external operator is to position himself in full view of the pilots.

27.6.6 The pilots will commence the “Before Engine Start” check-list, taking care to give

all hand signals to the external operator at the correct times and to receive

acknowledgements.

27.6.7 After start when the external power has been disconnected the external operator

will show the pilots the power source and its cable

27.6.8 The pilots will acknowledge sight of the ground equipment and formally dismiss

the external operator with a thumbs up which he will acknowledge.

27.6.9 The pilot is then to continue with the normal check-list.

27.7 Engine Testing and Run-Up Prior to Take-Off

27.7.1 Where possible, the aircraft is to be positioned into wind before performing run-

up checks. Where this is not possible, the aircraft is to be positioned at an angle

of approximately 45 degrees to the taxiway to avoid slipstream damage to any

aircraft behind.

27.7.2 Before use of high power settings on the ground, pilots are to ensure the area

behind the aircraft is clear of people and obstructions.

Operations Manual


27.7.3 At airfields with designated run-up areas, pilots are to use these areas for engine

checks and run-ups.

27.8 Turns After Take-off

27.8.1 Pilots are not to commence turns after take-off until in excess of 500ft above

ground level, except where required by published noise abatement orders or

when requested by ATC to help expedite the flow of departing traffic. When

requested, the turn shall not be commenced below 300ft agl and the angle of

bank shall not exceed 15 degrees until the aircraft has reached 500ft agl.

27.9 Aerobatic, Spinning and Stalling Manoeuvres

27.9.1 Before any course approved aerobatic manoeuvre is carried out, a HASELL check

is to be completed.

27.9.2 Aerobatic manoeuvres may only be flown in an aircraft cleared for such

manoeuvres in the aircraft flight manual.

27.9.3 Dual training flight aerobatic manoeuvres are permitted only with an

appropriately qualified CAT flying instructor.

27.9.4 Trainee solo aerobatic manoeuvres are not permitted.

27.9.5 Recovery from aerobatic and spinning manoeuvres is to be achieved by 3,000 ft

agl.

27.9.6 Recovery from stalling manoeuvres is to be achieved by 2000ft agl under dual

training or 2500ft agl for solo practice. During flight tests and checks conducted

by approved examiners, stalling may be conducted at a lower altitude, provided

that the recovery is achieved by 1500ft agl.

27.10 Instrument training view limiting devices

27.10.1 After guidance on acceptability from the UK CAA the following or similar view

limiting devices are to be used for instrument training:

Jeppessen style goggles

View limiting visor specifically for limited panel training.

27.11 Formation Flying

27.11.1 Formation flying in CAT aircraft is prohibited except where authorised in advance

by the HT.

27.12 Practice Forced Landings

27.12.1 Pilots shall practice forced landings under the supervision of an Instructor.

27.12.2 Solo practice of forced landings is to be carried out only after briefing by an

Instructor. Pilots may conduct glide approaches at their own discretion once

they have been cleared solo for the exercise.

27.12.3 Repeated practice of forced landings away from an airfield are not to be carried

out in the same area to minimise disruption to people and animals on the

ground. Pilots are to make themselves aware of any particularly noise-sensitive

areas, and must avoid them.

27.12.4 When a practice forced landing is conducted away from an airfield, the go-around

is to be initiated by 500 ft agl, or 500ft above the highest obstacle, whichever is

higher, unless, in the case of dual flights only, and within approved areas, the PIC

is able to ascertain that the aircraft will not come within 500ft of any persons,

vehicles, animals, structures or vessels. In any event, the go-around is to be

initiated by 200 ft agl, or 200ft above the highest obstacle, whichever is higher.

Operations Manual


27.12.5 Engine Failure after Take-off (EFATO) is to be initiated only by an Instructor or

Examiner. Aircraft are not to be placed in a position which contravenes the low

flying rules. When required ATC should be notified in advance by the Instructor

prior to executing the EFATO and the climb away. EFATO simulation may not be

initiated until the aircraft is at least 300ft agl.

27.13 Flight over Water

27.13.1 Pilots are not permitted to operate at a height less than that required to execute

a safe landing on land in the event of a single engine failure, except when the

flight is specifically approved by the HT.

27.14 Flight in IMC with Thunderstorm Activity

27.14.1 Aircraft are not to be operated in IMC where known or forecast embedded

thunderstorm activity is expected to occur, except when supporting

meteorological evidence (radar images and recent reports provided by pilots

and/or ATC ) indicates that the actual conditions are not as per the forecast and

approval has been granted by the respective CFI. Additionally the Garmin 1000

storm scope is not to be relied upon to provide accurate information on

thunderstorm activity. Its primary purpose is to provide a broad picture of distant

activity to assist in early decision making to navigate clear of the affected area.

27.15 Low Flying Regulations

27.15.1 Pilots are to comply at all times with low flying regulations.

27.15.2 Within the UK and USA, company aircraft are not to be flown within 500ft of

persons, vehicles, animals, structures or vessels.

27.15.3 Within New Zealand, aircraft are not to be flown below 500ft agl, except within

the low flying areas where, dual only, the minimum height is to be 200ft agl.

27.15.4 Pilots on cross-country flights are to comply with all the rules concerning low

flying, such as the minimum height over built up areas and the ability to glide

clear of hostile terrain in the event of an engine failure.

27.16 Operation of Circuit Breakers

27.16.1 Electrical circuit breakers (CBs) shall not be pulled in flight to simulate non-

normal or emergency scenarios.

27.16.2 If a CB is activated in flight as a result of a system malfunction the PIC should

comply with safest practice and normally not re-set the CB unless the electrical

system is critical to safe flight.

27.17 Intentional Engine Shutdown in Flight for Training and Testing

27.17.1 The intentional shutdown of an engine in flight is to be performed only in a

multi-engine aircraft and under the supervision of a qualified FI, CRI, or CAA

authorised multi-engine Examiner.

27.17.2 The engine shutdown (and subsequent restart procedure) is to be carried out in

accordance with the aircraft flight manual.

27.17.3 Before moving a critical switch or lever as part of an intentional engine shut-

down drill, the crew member carrying out the drill is to receive verbal

confirmation from the other crew member that they have their hand on the

correct switch or lever. After such confirmation is obtained, there is to be a

momentary pause between touching the item and actually moving it.

27.17.4 The PIC is to ensure that the engine shutdown is completed in VMC above

3,000ft agl, except that the HT or DHT may permit an engine shutdown at a

lower altitude if further compensating safety factors are applied.

Operations Manual


27.17.5 During the operation of the landing gear with one engine shutdown the DA42 is

exposed to high electrical loads. During training flights and simulated non

normal scenarios involving an engine shutdown this is not to coincide with

another scenario involving the lowering of the landing gear; such as actual

engine shutdown from simulated engine fire followed by an emergency descent.

27.18 Simulated Engine Shutdown Multi Engine

27.18.1 For the purposes of simulating an engine failure, the Instructor or Examiner is to

close the power lever of the appropriate engine, while masking the view of the

power lever from the Trainee.

27.18.2 The Trainee is to clearly identify the failed engine by calling out “left (right)

engine failure”, followed by the appropriate touch drill for simulated engine shut

down.

27.18.3 After the touch drill, the Instructor is to set “zero thrust”. On the DA42, the zero

thrust setting is to be 12% load. On successful completion of drills the power

lever may be advanced to a greater setting in order to silence the configuration

warning whilst still retaining some asymmetric effect.

27.19 Asymmetric Committal Altitude and Asymmetric Go Around

27.19.1 The following definitions are used in this paragraph:

27.19.1.1 Asymmetric Committal Altitude (ACA): the lowest altitude from which a

light multi-engine aircraft can make a successful go-around when

asymmetric, whether IMC or VMC.

27.19.1.2 Engine Out Allowance (EOA): the height needed for the transition from

descending to climbing flight when asymmetric. The engine out

allowance is added to the decision altitude on a precision approach

when asymmetric and should be considered when determining when to

initiate go-around when carrying out a non-precision approach using a

notional glidepath technique.

27.19.1.3 Blue Line Speed: the best rate of climb IAS in a light multi-engine aircraft

when asymmetric.

27.19.2 When asymmetric (during training or actual asymmetric), the following applies:

the ACA is to be 200ft above runway elevation

the EOA is to be zero

27.19.3 On an asymmetric approach flaps should not be selected until the decision to

land has been made. Prior to flap selection the minimum speed should be

Flapless Vref.

27.19.4 During an asymmetric go-around, Blue Line Speed and balanced flight must be

accurately maintained whilst reducing drag, i.e. gear and flaps are to be retracted

as soon as possible.

27.20 Take-off and Landing – DA42 Aircraft

27.20.1 DA42 aircraft may only take off and land from suitable sealed runways. Take-off

and landing from grass is not approved unless specifically authorised by the HT.

27.21 Touch and Go or Stop and Go Landings in Multi Engine Aircraft

The following procedures are to be followed:

27.21.1 For flights where the pilot is to be trained or checked under single pilot

operations, after landing and when the aircraft is fully under control, the

instructor is to select the flaps and trim to the take-off position and shall initiate

Operations Manual


the command either to “go, go” or “stop, stop”. Until the command “go, go” is

called, the Trainee PF must not start to apply power.

27.21.2 For other flights, e.g. multi engine Instructor training, the use of the gear and the

flaps shall be thoroughly briefed prior to taxi so that each pilot is fully aware of

their responsibilities.

27.21.3 Solo touch and go landings are permissible only in a simple aircraft, without

retractable gear.

27.22 Accelerated Stop

27.22.1 The accelerate stop exercise must be pre-briefed and the permission of ATC

obtained prior to initiation.

27.22.2 The Instructor is to initiate the accelerated stop by calling “stop, stop” (after full

take-off power has been applied). The Trainee is then to smoothly fully retard

both power levers together, maintaining directional control on the centre-line of

the runway. Use of brakes is to be the minimum required for safety.

27.22.3 For the purposes of examination only, an Examiner may require the

demonstration of control subsequent to an engine failure during the take-off roll.

Prior to the demonstration, the Candidate is to be fully briefed. All other

requirements of 27.18 continue to apply.

27.22.4 The Instructor must not move the engine controls during the accelerated stop

(unless he needs to take control for safety reasons).

27.22.5 Runway length, width and prevailing conditions must be considered when

deciding on the initiation speed, and will not normally be greater than 50% of

take-off speed.

27.23 Wake Turbulence Separation

27.23.1 Wake turbulence is an insidious and serious threat to flight safety. To facilitate

both safe and discretionary operations, only CTC instructors are permitted to

accept reduced separation operations and only then after careful consideration

has been given to all contributory factors.

27.24 Carriage of Dangerous Goods and/or Cargo

27.24.1 Under no circumstances, may a CAT aircraft carry dangerous goods as defined by

the rules (EU-OPS; NZ CAR; US FARs).

27.24.2 Cargo carried is limited to aircraft equipment and to personal baggage such as a

flight case or overnight bag. Any cargo carried is to be secured so that it cannot

present a hazard to the safe conduct of the flight. Cargo carried is to be limited

to a minimum practical amount and must be included in the mass and balance

calculation.

28. Stabilised Approaches

In order to enhance safety, CTC conforms to a policy of stabilised approaches. For the

purposes of this policy a stabilised approach is deemed to have been achieved when an aircraft

meets defined criteria at pre-determined positions or gates and maintains those criteria

throughout the descent to the flare point over the runway.

28.1 The Gates

There are two gates at which the defined criteria must be met. They are the:

Approach Gate

Landing Gate

Operations Manual


The Approach Gate

For instrument approaches the gate is at 1000ft AAL.

For visual approaches the gate is at 400ft AAL.

The Landing Gate

The Landing Gate for both instrument and visual approaches is at 100ft AAL.

28.2 Approach Monitoring

Progress during the approach is continuously compared to the required criteria with a positive

check made at both the Approach and Landing gates. Progress beyond the gate is predicated

upon whether the criteria have been met or not and the subsequent action confirmed by a

standard call out. Where the approach is assessed as stable the approach is continued to the

next phase of the approach, when unstable a go –around is initiated. An unstable approach is

identified by deviations in excess of the required criteria.

Where non-normal approaches are to be flown, changes to configuration, speed, lateral and

vertical flight path and ROD are to be specifically briefed.

28.3 Criteria

The defined criteria fall into the following categories:

trim

configuration

ROD

speed

lateral and vertical flight path

Criteria at the Approach gate:

Trim Aircraft in trim

Gear Down

Flap Approach

Power Appropriate power set

Bank Angle <15°

V/S <1000ft/min

Speed Nominated approach speed +10 KIAS/-0 KIAS

Flight path Precision Approach, G/S and LOC within half scale deflection.

Non-Precision Approach, VOR/NDB +/- 5°, GNSS within half scale

deflection and on the published vertical profile.

Visual Approach aligned with the runway centre line and the nominated

vertical flight path.

Criteria at the Landing Gate:

Trim Aircraft in trim

Gear Down

Flap Landing

Power Appropriate power set

Bank Angle <15°

V/S Small changes to rate of descent (100 to 200ft/min) to maintain flight

path but nominally <500ft/min

Speed Vref

+10 KIAS/-0 KIAS

Flight path On the correct lateral and vertical flight path.

With ATC Landing clearance received, or

Without ATC Runway clear.

Operations Manual


28.4 Standard Call Outs

At the Approach Gate

For instrument approaches

1000 Stable or

1000 Not stable, Go-around

For visual approaches

400 Stable or

400 Not stable, Go-around

At the Landing Gate

100 Landing or

100 Go-around

28.5 Notwithstanding all of the above, pilots may elect to go-around during ANY stage of the

approach.

29. Altimeter Setting Procedures

29.1 Crew Training Centre Bournemouth

29.1.1 Company altimeter setting procedures are as defined in the aircraft check-lists.

Detailed guidance on altimeter setting procedures is to be found in the UK AIP.

29.1.2 In view of the high number of incidents (altitude busts), a systematic and

rigorous practice of altimetry must be adhered to during all phases of flight.

29.1.3 For the departure and climb, the correct setting for each altimeter is to be

checked every 1,000ft.

29.1.4 As soon as clearance to a flight level has been given, the main altimeter is to be

immediately set to the standard pressure setting (1013 hpa). If it is judged that

it would be disorientating to set 1013 on take-off (this particularly applies when

the QNH is very different from 1013), the setting of 1013 can be delayed, but

must always be set before passing the transition altitude.

29.1.5 For the descent, the correct setting for each altimeter is to be checked every

1,000ft.

29.1.6 As soon as a clearance to an altitude has been received, both altimeters are to be

immediately adjusted to this setting and cross-checked (to be within 50ft of each

other).

29.1.7 On the approach, the altimeters are to be checked, both having the correct QNH

setting and both reading the within 50ft of each other. This should specifically

be carried out at the final approach fix (or final approach point). If there is a

difference, the lowest altimeter is to be used for the approach.

29.1.8 In addition, correct altitude against defined positions, e.g. DME distance or

overhead a NDB, is to be practiced as defined on approach plates, both for non-

precision and precision approaches.

29.2 Crew Training Centre Hamilton


Detailed guidance on altimeter setting procedures is to be found in the NZ AIP.

Operations Manual




29.2.3 For departure and climb, the correct setting for each altimeter is to be checked

every 1,000 ft.

29.2.4 For descent, the correct setting for each altimeter is to be checked every 1,000ft.

29.2.5 During an approach, the altimeters are to be checked, both having the correct

QNH setting and both reading the same (within 50ft). This should specifically be

carried out no later than the final approach fix (or final approach point).




29.3 Crew Training Centre Phoenix


Detailed guidance on altimeter setting procedures is to be found in the US FAR

91.121.



29.3.3 For departure and climb, the correct setting for each altimeter is to be checked

every 1,000 ft.

29.3.4 For descent, the correct setting for each altimeter is to be checked every 1,000ft.

29.3.5 During an approach, the altimeters are to be checked, both having the correct

QNH setting and both reading the same (within 50ft). This should specifically be

carried out at the final approach fix (or final approach point).




30. Aircraft Refuelling Procedures

30.1 Crew Training Centre Bournemouth

30.1.1 The technical log is to be completed including a record of fuel uplift before the

flight, the fuel available for the flight, and the post flight fuel. All critical

commodities are to be accurately recorded and managed e.g. fuel and oil.

30.1.2 Fuelling is to be carried out only by designated staff of supply companies. As

part of the securing of aircraft after flight (see Check-List), and specifically before

refuelling takes place, Pilots or Engineers are to make sure that all aircraft

switches, e.g. master and electrical, are in the off positions.

30.2 Crew Training Centre Hamilton




30.2.2 As part of the securing of aircraft after flight (see Check-List), and specifically

before refuelling takes place, Pilots are to make sure that all aircraft switches,

31.1.1 The fuel quantity, fuel required, and fuel remaining functions on the Fuel Page

(displayed when pushing the FUEL button on the MFD) of the FMS are

supplemental information only and must be verified by the flight crew.

31.1.2 If ambiguity exists with respect to the fuel remaining after flight, a check of the

fuel quantity should be carried out using the “alternative means of fuel quantity

indication” device.

Operations Manual


Part C – Route

Operations Manual



Operations Manual


32. Loading & Performance

32.1 A mass and balance calculation must be completed for all CAT flights.

32.2 The PIC should be satisfied that the runways to be used for take-off and landing

(including any planned alternates) are of a suitable nature (e.g. length and surface) for the

actual and forecast weather (wind direction and strength, precipitation, braking action,

etc).

32.3 Reduced length take-offs are permitted from sealed runways to improve the efficiency of

aircraft flow only after it has been ascertained that the remaining take-off distance

available is compliant with the requirements specified in section 32.4 below. Pilots

should also carefully consider what effect the reduced length take-off will have on safety

margins in the event of an engine malfunction during initial climb out.

32.4 In determining performance, the following shall be complied with:

32.4.1 Aircraft flight manual performance graphs and any other relevant information

contained in the manual.

32.4.2 For training flights at Bournemouth conducted under EASA approval all flights

shall comply with IR-OPS 1 performance Class B requirements.

32.4.3 Training flights in NZ shall comply with, as a minimum NZCAR 91 performance

requirements in addition to 32.4.1 above, and:

32.4.4 For Commercial flight tests conducted at Hamilton (NZ) under the approval of

EASA, EU-OPS Subpart H Class B performance requirements in addition to 32.4.3

above, or;

32.4.5 For Flight tests conducted at Hamilton (NZ) for the purpose of obtaining NZ

national commercial licenses shall comply with NZ CAR 135 performance

requirements in addition to 32.4.3 above, or;

32.4.6 For all other flight tests conducted at Hamilton (NZ) for the purpose of obtaining

a commercial license or prime rating shall comply with the applicable national

commercial performance requirements in addition to 32.4.3 above.

32.4.7 For training flights at Phoenix conducted under EASA approval, as a minimum, US

FAR and POH/AFM performance requirements may be used. All commercial flight

tests shall comply with IR-OPS 1 performance Class B requirements.

32.4.8 For training flights at Phoenix conducted under US FAA approval, as a minimum,

US FAA and POH/AFM performance requirements may be used. All commercial

flight tests shall comply with US FAA Part 141 performance requirements.

32.4.9 All other CAT Operation Manual Part C requirements.

32.4.10 CAA requirements or recommendations.

32.5 Where doubt exists as to safety, all possible factors should be included within the

performance calculations.

33. Flight Planning

33.1 Fuel Policy

33.1.1 The actual level of the fuel in the tanks must always be checked visually or by

dipstick by the PIC (or other Crew Member given the responsibility by the PIC).

33.1.2 The fuel in each tank must be sampled for water or other impurities before the

first flight of the day and at other times if there is any doubt about the purity,

Operations Manual


e.g. heavy rain has occurred during the day or if there is considered to be a local

need to sample after refuelling.

33.1.3 For VFR operations, sufficient fuel is to be carried for start, taxi, intended flight

to destination aerodrome plus 10% contingency, plus a minimum of 45 minutes

reserve. In flight, pilots should plan to ensure the last landing is made with at

least 45 minutes endurance on board during normal and non-normal operations.

The decision to refuel at intermediate airports is to be planned to ensure

compliance with this policy.

33.1.4 For IFR operations, sufficient fuel shall be carried for start, taxi, intended flight to

destination aerodrome plus 10% contingency, and then to designated alternate

aerodrome plus 45 minutes reserve.

33.1.5 Where a flight is conducted in accordance with IFR for the purposes of training or

test, but the forecast and actual weather conditions would permit operations to

be conducted in VMC, the captain may elect to adopt the fuel policy stated in

paragraph 33.1.3 provided that:

33.1.5.1 a suitable second runway, either at the destination airfield or at a

nominated alternate airfield is available and,

33.1.5.2 the appropriate weather reports or forecasts for the destination and if

applicable, alternate airfield, indicate that VMC will prevail during a

period commencing one hour before and ending one hour after arrival.

33.1.5.3 the final landing is made with not less than 45 minutes flight time,

calculated using endurance power settings.

33.1.6 The fuel calculation section on the flight log form is to be completed for all

flights.

33.1.7 Crews should note that the fuel gauges in the aircraft may be inaccurate and

should not solely be relied upon as an indication of fuel state but the fuel gauges

should be used in combination with other factors such as the flight log and time

for gross error checking.

33.2 Oil Policy

33.2.1 The oil suited for a particular engine at any time will be determined by the

Engineers, whose advice should be sought if there is any doubt as to the correct

grade of oil to be used.

33.2.2 Although the minimum oil level required for flight is stated in the AFM, it is the

responsibility of the PIC to ensure that prior to carrying out a flight, the oil level

is to be located within (and will remain within for the duration of the flight,

assuming normal operating oil use) the normal operating levels specified below

for each aircraft type.

DA-20 4.5 – 6 US quarts

C172 6 – 8 US quarts

DA-40 NG 5 – 7 litres

DA-42 5 – 6 litres (between red marks on dip stick)

DA-42-VI 5 – 7 litres

33.3 Maps, Charts and FLOGs

33.3.1 VFR Flights within the Local Area. Pilots are to carry a current topographical

chart and a selection of aerodrome charts covering all airports within the local

area.

33.3.2 VFR Navigation Flights and Flights Outside the Local Area. Pilots are to carry

current topographical chart(s) and a selection of aerodrome charts covering all

airports along the intended route, including likely diversion airports. In addition,

Operations Manual


pilots are to carry a copy of the weather forecast for their intended route and

carry a completed copy of the Company FLOG.

33.3.3 IFR Flights. Pilots are to carry current IFR chart(s) and approach plates covering

the intended route and all potential destination or diversion airports. In addition,

pilots are to carry a copy of the weather forecast and NOTAMs for their intended

route and carry a completed copy of the company FLOG.

34. Weather Minima

34.1 General

Pilots are not to operate outside the limitations of their qualifications, assigned minima or

those of the aircraft (e.g. maximum demonstrated cross-wind component), or with less

than the legal minima (e.g. landing weather minima).

34.2 Icing conditions

34.2.1 The PIC is not to take off with ice, frost or snow on the aircraft wings, propellers,

control surfaces, windscreen, or on any system (e.g. aerials) necessary for the

flight.

34.2.2 The PIC is not to fly aircraft into known or forecast icing conditions unless:

34.2.2.1 the aircraft is approved to fly into known icing conditions

34.2.2.2 before the flight, the PIC satisfies himself that the anti-icing equipment

is serviceable and is likely to remain so during the flight

34.2.2.3 a watch is to be kept on any build-up of ice to ensure that the anti-icing

system is able to remove the ice as it accumulates

34.2.2.4 the anti-icing system is operated as specified in the aircraft flight

manual

34.3 Bournemouth-Specific Orders

The selected operating minima shall be based on the recognition that the DA42 aircraft is

a category ‘A’ aircraft as defined by PANS-OPS 1.3. It is accepted that the DA42 is

operated above the published range speeds as defined in PANS-OPS during finals and the

circling approach. This is known and accepted by the UK CAA and specifically the CAA

Examiner Unit. When operating under IFR, the PIC shall be the holder of a current

instrument rating. Reference should be made to the UK AIP, which provides further

guidance.

34.3.1 Take-Off Minima. The weather at the time of take-off must not be less than the

landing minimum requirements, both in terms of RVR and cloud base. If either

the actual weather at the time of take-off is only marginally above the minima

39.2.1 All Instructors, before commencing to teach on a CAT Course at the Crew

Training Centre, will be required to follow the standard induction procedure.

39.2.2 The CFI will be responsible for conducting the induction programme and

ensuring that the new Instructor has achieved a sufficient level of knowledge and

skill before instructing commences. This level of achievement will be confirmed

by the induction record held within each Instructor’s personal file a copy of which

is at Appendix 32.

39.2.3 The administrative induction, normally scheduled to be completed in a half day,

comprises:

39.2.3.1 paperwork check of currency of licence, ratings and medical

39.2.3.2 introduction to other staff, location of facilities, health and safety and

security issues

Training Manuals

Standardisation Notes

Standardisation Meeting minutes

39.2.4 The induction (FNPT II and / or flying) is described in paragraphs 39.2.5 to

39.2.6. The quantities of training specified here are minima, and may be

increased at the discretion of the CFI according to the previous experience and

skill level of the new Instructor.

39.2.5 FNPT II Instructor Induction. A minimum of 7 working days is normally to be

allowed for FNPT II Instructor training, depending on the experience of the

instructor and whether an IR revalidation is also required. The training should

include:

39.2.5.1 the CTC TRI Core Course

39.2.5.2 an introduction to the hardware, software and health & safety issues in

the FNPT II environment

39.2.5.3 a general discussion of the strengths and weaknesses of FNPT II (versus

aeroplane) training

39.2.5.4 The Instructor will then be required to brief the CFI (who will role play a

Trainee) in at least two exercises. The exercise could include, for

example, a brief on how to fly an ILS and a brief on route flying

workload and management. It will be expected that the briefs will be

based on standardisation notes and any other relevant company

documents.

39.2.5.5 The Instructor will then be observed carrying out a flight of

approximately one hour, including departure, hold, ILS and non-

precision approach, plus EFATO drill and limited panel.

39.2.5.6 The flight is to include an Instructor demonstration of any exercise

which he has briefed. The CFI could carry out the check-list ground

items (to demonstrate SOP) and act as ATC during the airborne phase.

39.2.5.7 If the Instructor is within 3 months of an IR revalidation, this proficiency

check could be completed in the normal manner (in the FNPT II). This

would then be followed by the format for briefing, and a short FNPT II

demonstration of the briefed items only (flight of approximately 0.7

hours).

39.2.5.8 In all cases, a full debrief will be given and any weak areas will be

highlighted for further supervised or unsupervised practice.

39.2.5.9 If, at this stage, the Instructor’s standard is considered acceptable, he

may progress to instructing IR Trainees.

39.2.5.10 Training and standardisation then follows the Instructor periodic

standardisation arrangements.

39.2.5.11 If the Instructor’s standard is not acceptable, the CFI may carry out up to

one further day on induction training, before referring matters to the

Head of Training.

39.2.6 Flying Instructor Induction. A minimum of four days is normally to be allowed

for FI induction as follows:

39.2.6.1 A three day core skills course, delivered by CRMI trained instructors and

including:

Vertical integration of training

On completion, the instructor will receive a course completion certificate and a

record of the course is held on file at Nursling.

39.2.6.2 A discussion of safety issues related to the particular aircraft type used

for the IR Course and to the airside environment in general

39.2.6.3 An assessment/standardisation flight will then take place to include as a

minimum: EFATO, asymmetric go around and asymmetric landing, but

to include all normal skill test/proficiency check items if the Instructor is

new to type. All emergency drills must be covered, at least as

discussion items. The CFI could carry out the check-list ground items

(to demonstrate SOP).

39.2.6.4 If the Instructor is within 3 months of a multi-engine piston class rating

revalidation, the flight would become a MEP revalidation.

39.2.6.5 For the IFR part of the standardisation and follow up action, paragraphs

39.2.5.4 to 39.2.5.5 (under FNPT II induction) should be completed in

their entirety, and carried out in the FNPT II. At the discretion of the CFI,

one or two of the IFR demonstration exercises (see FNPT II induction)

could be flown in the aeroplane itself, as an add on to the MEP

requirements defined above. This would become particularly applicable

if it was intended that the Instructor would only, or primarily, be

instructing in the aircraft itself.

39.2.6.6 If the Instructor’s standard is not acceptable, the CFI may carry out up to

one further day of induction training, before referring matters to the HT.

39.2.7 Follow up to Initial Induction. For his first instructional detail at CAT and for a

further instructional detail not more than one month later, the new Instructor is

to be observed by the CFI carrying out the brief, flight, and de-brief. The

Instructor is to be de-briefed on his performance and a record of the observation

is to be entered in the Instructor’s induction record

42. Certificate of Training and Competence Signatory – Flight Check Instructor

Prior to presenting for the EASA PT4 skills test or the Modular Instrument Rating and CPL

skills tests trainees must demonstrate the appropriate competencies in a flight conducted

by an instructor approved by the ATO for the grant of a Certificate of Training and

Competence – a Flight Check Instructor (FCI). The following paragraphs describe the

process by which an instructor may be awarded that approval and subsequently maintain

the privilege. There are two categories of FCI

FCI – CPL

FCI - IR

42.1 Prerequisites:

Minimum 1000 hours flight instruction – up to 400 hours may be FNPT instruction

Minimum of 1 year continuous employment as an instructor with CAT. This minimum

may be reduced at HT discretion.

Pass a suitability flight check with the CFI

42.2 Training and award:

7 hours ground school with a FIC covering contents of Standards Documents 1 and 3.

This training is common to both the FCI -CPL and FCI - IR competency check training

and need only be completed once.

Flight training as required with a FIC simulating the conduct of a proficiency flight

check, either CPL or IR, to include all aspects of pre- and post-flight preparation and

debriefing. This training is to be specific to the award of the FCI – CPL or FCI – IR.

Pass a competency check with an IRE or CPLE approved in accordance with Part-FCL

subpart K.

Signatory privileges will become effective upon successful completion of training and

passing the competency flight check resulting in the award of the FCI certificate

annotated as either FCI - CPL or FCI - IR an example of which is shown at Appendix 30.

A copy of the certificate should be retained and filed in the instructor’s Training File.

Operations Manual


The privilege should be annotated in Appendix 26 - ATO approved appointments and

nominated Post Holders under Part ORA, signatory’s column and the amendment

notified to the Authority.

42.3 Maintenance of privilege:

Conduct a minimum of 6 proficiency checks per year

Demonstrate maintenance of proficiency as part of Annual Standardisation check with the

confirmation of competence being signed off in the Annual Standardisation report form.

43. Instructor Periodic Standardisation

All Flight and Synthetic Training Instructors will be required to undergo an annual

standardisation check. The maximum period between annual standardisation checks

should not exceed 14 months.

Periodic standardisation training will be made available to instructors. The content of

periodic standardisation training will be as required to prepare the instructor for the

annual standardisation check and will vary according to the needs of the individual

Instructor.

As a minimum, flight instructors should in addition to any rating renewal or revalidation

complete 2 hours consolidation training in the flight simulator and 4 hour flight training

consolidation. This may be scheduled as a mutual flight with another instructor.

Consolidation training must be logged in the Instructor Periodic Standardisation Training

Record.

As an alternative to dedicated flight training consolidation, any practice achieved during

rating renewal or revalidation may be counted towards flight training consolidation but

this must be logged in the Instructor Periodic Standardisation Record and in any case

must not exceed half of the time logged for the flight.

STI’s should have 2 hours in a flight simulator.

Consideration should be given to providing more than the minimum outlined above for

less experienced instructors.

44. Annual Standardisation Check

The annual standardisation check may be a dedicated flight check with the CFI or their

nominated deputy or may take the form of an observed lesson delivered by the instructor.

In this case the pre-flight brief as well as the post flight de-briefing should be observed.

The CFI should sign the record of training form shown at Appendix 34. This includes

those annual checks carried out by any nominated deputy. The instructor should then

sign as acknowledgement of the comments in the report and the report filed in the

instructor’s personal file.

45. Standards Meetings

The HT, or persons nominated by the HT, shall arrange standards meetings, to discuss

the conduct and administration of courses, no less frequently than once in each 4 month

period. An agenda should be circulated one week in advance, and minutes should be

published within one week of the meeting. The HT, or nominees, are responsible for

keeping a master copy of standardisation meeting agenda and minutes which shall be

made available to all Instructors. In addition, copies of the agenda and minutes are to be

distributed to the HT and all CFIs.

aviation training experience and be acceptable to the CAA.

46.2 Training and Retraining

The local training procedures detailed below are intended to standardise CTC’s method of

operation from Instructor selection, through in-house training/checking to the conduct of

day-to day training activities.

46.3 Training Staff Selection

Once a vacancy has been confirmed and selection approved the CTKI will vet all

applications and CV’s for suitability. Potential instructors will then be invited to attend an

interview with the HT, CTKI and a representative from Human Resources. The interview

process will include a 10 minute specimen lesson covering an ATPL Theoretical

Knowledge related subject.

On successful completion of this stage new training staff may be required to observe

other TKI’s, which will not only standardise and refresh their instructional skills, but may

also form part of the selection process.

46.4 Initial Induction Process

The initial induction process will be managed by the CTKI and will include a briefing on

the Company background and aims, the management structure and general

administration issues. The induction process should be completed within the defined

probationary period

46.5 Theoretical Knowledge Instructors

Prior to conducting ATPL Theoretical Knowledge courses the Instructor will:

a) Shadow a course;

b) Run a course under supervision; and

c) Be checked by the CTKI before being permitted to independently run the course.

Note: Should the instructor have suitable and relevant teaching experience the

supervised/checked stages may be combined. Initial training will be completed by the

CTKI or a nominated instructor.

A record of any relevant previous employment/experience should be recorded on

Appendix 35 - ATPL TKI Initial Training Requirement and Standardisation Check Record

and any initial training requirements listed. The completed form should form part of the

TKI’s personal file and the CTKI should date/sign the form on completion of the initial

training. A record of the subjects that the TKI is qualified to teach and the dates of any

standardisation checks should also be recorded on Appendix 36 – ATPL Subject

Qualification Record.

46.6 Training Requirement to Teach Additional Subjects

For operational reasons it may be necessary from time to time for TKI’s to teach

additional ATPL subjects. The CTKI should identify the training requirements on the ATPL

TKI Additional Subject and Remedial Training Form (Appendix 37) and date/sign the form

when the training is completed. The additional subject should also be recorded Appendix

36 – ATPL Subject Qualification Record.

Operations Manual


46.7 Standardisation Checks

Each TKI will be expected to complete a standardisation check following initial training in

each subject taught and this will be repeated at least once in any 12 month period. The

CTKI or nominated deputy will routinely carry out the checks to ensure that the

standardisation and quality of training is consistent throughout the Company. The HT or

nominated deputy should also routinely carry out a standardisation check of the CTKI.

The standardisation check will encompass the full training procedure and will be initially

recorded on the ATPL TKI Induction Training Standardisation Check Form (Appendix 38).

46.8 Management of Under Performance

If a TKI is deemed to be under performing the CTKI should interview the instructor to

ascertain if there are any underlying problems and agree a course of action. This should

be recorded on the ATPL TKI Additional Subject and Remedial Training Form (Appendix

37) and the HT informed. When the agreed actions have been carried out the CTKI should

carry out a further standardisation check and record it on the ATPL TKI Induction Training

Standardisation Check Form (Appendix 38).

Appendix 41 - Trainee Flight Authorisation - NZ

The Trainee Flight Authorisation ensures that all planning criteria is completed and checked by

the Sign-out Instructor.

The Next Event Information/Planner will be completed following a dual flight allowing the

primary instructor to give guidance for the next solo event.

Prior to departure the trainee is to present the form to the Sign-out Instructor who will verify the

flight planning. The trainee will then sign his acceptance of the aircraft in the Pilot in Command

section of the Trainee Flight Authorisation.

The form is then to be presented to the DFI at the commencement of the flight.

Guidance:

- The Next Event Information/Planner is to be issued for each solo syllabus event prior to

the next dual, completed as part of the de-brief process following a dual flight.

- More than one Next Event Information/Planner can be issued at a time.

- If the primary instructor is not available a secondary instructor may complete the Next

Event Information/Planner.

- Trainee tick boxes have been provided to streamline the process.
