1.2 COMPUTERISED ATC & NAVIGATION FLIGHT PLANS

1.2.1 All flights within MNPS airspace conducted by Skybusjets Crews will make use of a
reputable computerized flight planning service. The computerized flight planning
service selects the route, files the ATC flight plan and produces the Master
Document in the form of a computerized Pilot Navigation Log.

1.2..2 Overall responsibility for the ATC Flight Plan and the Master Document rests with the
Aircraft Captain who should check these documents for accuracy with special reference to the
route, calculated fuel, distance and aircraft performance.

1.3 RADIO COMMUNICATIONS

1.3.1 HF COMMUNICATIONS

Most NAT air/ground communications are conducted on upper side band HF frequencies. Pilots should be
aware that their communications with Oceanic Centers via a radio stations manned by communicators
who themselves do not have executive ATC authority.

1.3.2 SELCAL

During the time that they depend on HF communications, pilots must maintain a listening watch on the
assigned frequency. If SELCAL is fitted then a SELCAL watch can be maintained providing that:
a. The SELCAL code has been noted in Part 18 of the ATC flight plan.
b. A functional check of the SELCAL equipment has been carried out with the relevant ground station
at or prior to entry into the Oceanic Control Area.

1.3.3 HF COMMUNICATIONS FAILURE

In the event of a total HF communications failure, every effort should be made to relay position reports through
other aircraft using VHF radio. The air to air VHF frequency in the North Atlantic region is 131.8 MHz's.
Should it become necessary initial contact with other aircraft can be established by the use of
frequency 121.5 MHz's. In all cases of communication failure, the pilot should follow the last received
Oceanic clearance and not revert to his original flight plan.

1.3.4 VHF GUARD FREQUENCY

At all times within the North Atlantic Oceanic area one VHF radio should be tuned and a
listening watch maintained on the International VHF Distress frequency of 121.5 MHz.

1.4 STANDARD OPERATING PROCEDURES

1.4.1 PROGRAMMING THE FMS'S

The following procedure should be used to program the FMS'S:

1.4.2 Both pilots should confirm that the "Present Position" loaded into both FMS'S is correct and has been
checked against a known reference.

1.4.3 One pilot should enter the way points given in the Computerized Pilot Navigation Log into one of the FMS'
S. Each way point on the Navigation Log should be numbered to correspond with the way point number
shown on the FMS'S.

1.4.4 The other pilot should then check each individual way point entered on the FMS'S to ensure that the way
point number and coordinates are identical to those given on the Computerized Navigation Log.

1.4.5 Tracks & distances between way-points shown on the FMS'S should be cross checked against those
shown on the Navigation Log.

1.4.6 Having ascertained that the loaded FMS'S flight plan is identical to the Navigation Log, the FMS'S flight
plan should be cross-filled or manually loaded into the other FMS'S and compared to ensure that they are
identical.

SKYBUSJETS LIMITED
RVSM MANUAL
1.5 ATC OCEANIC CLEARANCE

1.5.1 An Oceanic clearance must be obtained prior to entry to an OCA and where practical, both pilots should listen
to and record each ATC clearance and then cross compare to ensure accuracy. Any doubt should be
clarified with ATC.

1.5.2 If the Oceanic clearance is not identical to the flight planned track, the Navigation Log must be amended,
the FMS'S re-programmed and the new track plotted on the plotting chart. The procedure to be followed
should be the same as shown in sub-part 1.4.1 - PROGRAMMING THE FMS'S above.

1.5.3 Cockpit resource management requires that one pilot is designated to fly and control the aircraft while the
amendments to the documentation and the re-programming of the FMS'S is carried out by the non-flying
pilot. On completion, the roles are reversed whilst the amendments/changes are checked by the other pilot.

1.6 APPROACHING

1.6.1 OCEANIC BOUNDARY

1.6.1.1 If the initial part of the flight is over land and along airways, then the airways facilities should be used to
check the accuracy of the long range navigation systems.

1.6.1.2 The Aircraft shall not enter the MNPS Area if for any reason the navigational capability of the aircraft is
impaired to the extent that it is no longer possible to meet the navigational accuracy required for the planned
route.

1.6.2 ARRIVAL AT OCEANIC WAY POINTS


As soon as the way point alert light illuminates on the MFDU, the following actions should be taken:

1.6.2.1 Check the POS coordinates shown on each FMS'S against the way point coordinates shown on the
Computerized Navigation Log.

1.6.2.2 Check the coordinates of the next two way points in FMS'S system against the Computerized Navigation
Log.

1.6.2.3 When overhead the way point, check the displayed distance to the next way point against the
Computerized Navigation Log. Confirm also that the aircraft turns in the correct direction and takes up the
correct track to the next way point.

1.6.2.4 Transmit a position report to the Oceanic Control Centre.

1.6.2.5 About midway between way-points, check plot of the position of the aircraft on the plotting chart to
confirm correct tracking.

1.6.3 ROUTINE MONITORING

1.6.3.1 One FMS'S should normally be selected to distance/time to the next way point.

1.6.3.2 Cross track error should be monitored on the Common Display System.

1.6.3.3 Regular comparisons of the data shown on the FMS'S should be made. Any significant discrepancies
should be investigated.

1.6.3.4 Make use of any land based Nav-aids, if available, to confirm position.

RVSM MANUAL
1.6.4 SYSTEM DEGRADATION

If the fault annunciator is active, it will be necessary to determine which FMS'S is having integrity
problems. Continue to navigate using the serviceable FMS'S or revert to alternate means of navigation
appropriate to the route and phase of flight.

1.6.5 DETERMINING THE FAULTY SYSTEM


The following procedures should be used in an attempt to determine the faulty system:

1.6.5.1 If in Oceanic airspace, it may be possible to contact nearby aircraft on VHF to obtain their read out of spot
wind (or if they are going in the same direction, drift and ground speed).

1.6.5.2 Check the FMS'S malfunction codes for indications of unserviceability.

1.6.5.3 The comparative accuracy of the two systems prior to Oceanic entry should be borne in mind.

1.6.5.4 Check both FMS'S "DATA" pages for any obvious errors such as excessively high ground speeds, winds
or poor satellite reception.

1.6.5.5 Other factors that should be considered:


a. Are the coordinates of more than one sensor in agreement?
b. What is the "Q" factor of each sensor?
c. How many satellites are the GPS working with?
d. Use of the radar to determine position relative to an identifiable landmark. Gross
tracking errors can be limited by flying the aircraft halfway between the cross track
differences as long as the uncertainty exists. In this case ATC should be informed that the
flight is experiencing navigation difficulties.

1.7 ABNORMAL PROCEDURES

1.7.1 PARTIAL OR COMPLETE LOSS OF NAVIGATION CAPABILITY

1.7.1.1 ONE SYSTEM FAILURE BEFORE TAKEOFF.


The pilot should consider the following:
a. Delaying departure to affect repair.
b. Plan to use the special routing for aircraft suffering partial loss of navigation capability. These
routes are detailed in the Jeppesen Chart AT (H/L) Chart No 1 & 2 and will require a revised flight
plan and an appropriate ATC clearance.
c. Obtaining a clearance above or below the MNPS Airspace.

1.7.1.2 ONE SYSTEM FAILURE BEFORE ENTERING MNPSA.


The pilot should consider the following:
a. Landing at a suitable airfield before the MNPSA boundary or return to the
departure airfield.
b. Diverting via the special routes mentioned in sub-par 1.7.1 above.
c. Obtain a re-clearance above or below MNPS airspace.

1.7.1.3 ONE SYSTEM FAILURE WITHIN MNPSA.


The pilot should normally continue in accordance with the given oceanic clearance. In addition he
should consider the following:
a. Assess the prevailing circumstances, performance of the second system remaining portion of
the flight in the MNPSA etc.
b. Consider diversion, re-routing, turn back, climbing or descending out of the MNPSA.
c. Consult with ATC so that the most suitable action can be taken.
d. Special care should be taken of remaining FMS'S the routine method of error checking is
no longer available.
e. If in doubt about the performance of the remaining FMS'S , attempt a visual sighting of other
aircraft or their contrails to provide track indication

1.8 IN-FLIGHT CONTINGENCIES

This section deals with contingencies where the aircraft is unable to continue the flight in accordance with
Air Traffic control issued clearance e.g. Weather, aircraft performance, pressurization etc.

1.8.1 If the aircraft is unable to continue flight in accordance with the given Air Traffic control clearance, a
revised clearance shall, whenever possible, be obtained prior to initiating any action.

1.8.2 If it is not possible to obtain prior clearance, ATC clearance should be obtained at the earliest possible
opportunity and, in the meantime, the aircraft should broadcast its position, the ATS route designator or Track
Code as appropriate, and intentions on 121.5 MHz at frequent intervals until ATC clearance is obtained.

1.8.3 If unable to comply with the provisions above, the aircraft should leave its assigned route by turning 90
degrees to the left or right. The direction of the turn should be determined by the position of the aircraft
relative to the Oceanic Track System, RVSM airspace, known adjacent aircraft and, if appropriate,
terrain clearance.

1.8.4 Having turned through 90 degree, the aircraft should acquire and maintain a parallel track laterally
separated by 30 nm from its assigned route or track AND:
a. Above FL290 in RVSM Airspace - Climb or descend 500 feet
b. Above FL290 non RVSM Airspace - Climb or descend 1000 feet
If at or below FL290 Climb or descend 500 feet

1.8.5 An aircraft not able to maintain its assigned level should start its descent whilst turning through 90
