Composite Areas
Composite structures are sensitive to damage caused by ground servicing equipment. Damages to the external aircraft
surface do not always reveal possible internal structural damages.
NOTE:
Damages to the fuselage are not always as evident as damage occured on the metal structures.
Due to the nature of the composite material any impact must immediately be reported to the cockpit crew.

This is the first action to take place around the aeroplane and shall
be completed before any other equipment may move towards the
aeroplane. After the engines have been switched off are spooling
down and anti collision lights have been switched off:
- Place chocks forward and aft of the main landing gear (MLG) in
accordance with the chock placement diagram.
- Remove the temporary placed chocks at the nose landing gear (NLG).
- Give the "chocks inserted" hand signal to the cockpit crew.
NOTE:
When the aircraft is parked for more than 6 hours or during night stops and
/ or in high wind situations, the nose landing gear (NLG) chocks must not
be removed. In case the chocks are necessary, there shall be a gap of
approximately 50 mm between the chocks and the NLG wheels.
Engine starting
If the APU of the CS100/CS300 is unserviceable or not operating, electricity required for engine starting must be
supplied by a ground power unit 115/200 Volt AC /400 Hz.

Loading
The loading supervisor must make sure that during all phases of the loading/unloading operations the mass of load in
compartment 1 is never lower than the minimum given in the table in the AHM Aeroplane Guide Chapter 1.5.6.2.
In case of baggage search prior to departure, ground stability limitations stated in the AHM Aeroplane Guide Chapter
1.5.6.2 "Mass distribution" apply.
Load in the rear compartments and passengers in Y-class can move the centre of gravity so far to the aft that tail down
tipping can occure. It is thus necessary to take precautions to secure ground stability of the aeroplane during loading
and unloading operations.
Mass distribution
The table below gives the minimum mass of load required in compartment 1 to secure ground stability of the aero-
plane during loading and unloading operations.

Baggage loading
Priority baggage
Due to the limited amount of space available in the lower compartments, it is not always possible to separate priority
baggage from the other baggage categories. Priority baggage (labelled with HON and Priority tags) must be loaded
close to the door. The information pertaining to the loading position of the priority baggage must be stated on the LDM
with the deadload remark "C","BC" or "FB".
LDM
Priority baggage is to be identified in the LDM with the letters "BC" or "FB". Loading position and further details must
be given in the LDM. Either indicate the relevant baggage weight (kg) or the actual amount of baggage pieces per
compartment.
EXAMPLES:
Transfer baggage
Transfer baggage must always be segregated from local baggage. Local baggage and transfer baggage must be
loaded in different sections. The information pertaining to the loading position of the transfer bags must be stated" on
the LDM with the deadload remark "T", "TB";"BT"and/or "TS", "BTS" for short baggage. Short connection baggage
must be loaded close to the door
LDM
Transfer baggage is to be identified in the LDM with the letters "T", "TB”, "BT" and/or "BTS" for short baggage. Loading
position and further details must be given in the SI-part of the LDM (see example). Either indicate the relevant baggage
weight (kg) or the actual amount of baggage pieces per compartment.
EXAMPLES:
axsControl BT/ZRH/C3/300
Crew baggage
All crew baggage can be identified by the special ‘Crew’ labels. It is recommended, whenever possible, that crew
baggage be loaded into compartment 4 section 43, . Before off loading those bags always check with the commander.
Never bring crew baggage to the baggage sorting area.

Compartment 1
Ventilation as well as heating are available. Any temperature setting requirements will be adjusted by the cockpit crew.
The compartment temperature depends on many variables; temperature on departing station, flight duration and flight
height (level).
Compartment 4
The aft compartment is equipped with ventilation but without any heating. The temperature in the hold varies depending
on air drown from the cabin and outside temperatures. Therefore the carriage of live animals in the aft compartment is
not permitted.

RRY (Radioactive)
Can be loaded in compartment 1 sections 11 and 12 and compartment 4 section 41 only.
Strictly forbidden to load in section 42 an 43.
It is recommended to limit the amount of RAM shipments to a max. of 10 pieces and/or 150 Kg per aeroplane in order
to prevent delays during turnaround.

VAL (Valuables)
VAL shipments can be loaded in compartment 1 and/or compartment 4, when weight or volume is to big for security
locker. Whenever possible, VAL shipments should be loaded into compartment 4 due to better accessibility. VAL
shipments of high value must be packed into the special VAL-boxes as per CHM 5.6.7.
Specials
On leisure / charter ad-hoc flights it is strictly forbidden to load Dangerous goods.

Non-maintenance aircraft
The CS100/300 has been declared as a “Non – maintenance” aircraft (at outstations). Therefore, no maintenance staff
is foreseen to be present at the CS100/300 for a turnaround or for any night stops.
This means that no maintenance contracts are established taking the CS 100/300 into consideration.
Therefore in case of technical issue with the aircraft, troubleshooting is done by the cockpit crew together with
SWISS T. In case the problem can’t be resolved, a "go team" will be dispatched from ZRH/GVA.

TRIM
This is probably the biggest challenge to date as the aircraft is particularly “Tail heavy”. In order to minimise this condition:
1) Plan the maximum deadload into the forward compartment 1. Wherever possible ensure correct baggage category
separation. However, getting the aircraft within its trim limits has the highest priority.
2) On flights that are not full, please block the last 2 rows in the Y-cl section → Rows 25 and 26
3) Keep sufficient ballast bags on standby. Should ballast have been used on the outbound flight from ZRH, please
keep it on board and return it to ZRH on the same flight (provided payload restrictions allow for it)
4) Pilots have been asked, whenever possible, to uplift a minimum of 6’000 TOF. This widens the trim margins.
5) As with the A320P, please consider a change of curtain version. The same requirements apply here as for the
A320P. For information, we have adapted the Altéa system in order for the C-cl cabin to be proportional to the C-cl
booking figure. This should minimise (but not altogether avoid) the need to change the curtain position and
subsequently any seat changes.
Together with several SWISS departments and Bombardier, further initiatives are being looked at notably:
Pushback
Before connecting the towbar or the TLTV (Towbarless vehicle) please ensure that following steps are taken:
1) Check with the cockpit if ok to connect the tow bar or the TLTV.
2) After confirmation from the cockpit, connect the tow bar or the TLTV
3) Only move the aircraft once the green light is visible on the towing control box attached on the gear shaft.
31
Bombardier CSeries 100 / CSeries 300 Aeroplane Information
Several cases of APU auto shut downs minutes before push back have recently been reported by our cockpit crews.
After some research it appears as if a possible cause for these APU shutdowns could be the ground crews confusion
between the CS100/300 and the Embraer E-190 aircraft.
The E-190 has a push/tow switch at a similar location on the ground service panel to the red APU SHUT OFF switch on
the C Series. When activated, this switch will immediately remove all power from the aircraft and all systems and lights
are lost. It will take the cockpit crew a minimum of 15 minutes to recover power to the aircraft and re-program all the
systems. Therefore the APU SHUT OFF switch must NOT be used and unlike the E-190, no switching is necessary
before pushing back the CS100/300.
