accept any working task either.
5) Having arranged the other jobs before accepting the flight task, the
duty time shall be counted from the time the working begins.
6) When arrange the working task for the flight crew the time of the
working task may be or may not be taken down into the duty period.
When not take down into the duty period, the eight hour rest time
must be arranged for them before the follow-up duty period begins.
7) The waiting-for-command time caused by the delay for the flight
crew before takeoff should be added to the duty time.
8) The time spent on the way to the departure airport before conducting
a flight or back to home base after a flight (such as dead heading)
should not be considered as a part of the rest time, but must be
considered as flight duty time.
9) At least 36 consecutive hours of rest time must be arranged for the
flight crew members for whom the duty period arranged for once or
more than once in any successive 7 calendar days.

6.6 The Management of Flight Control (CCAR-121.543(a) (b) (c))


6.6.1 Pilot Flying
1) At least one qualified pilot should be ensured to monitor the flight
continuously and fly the airplane. Two qualified pilots must be ensured
to fly the airplane during takeoff, landing and encountering turbulence;
PF must complete the input of calculated performance data and
complete approach briefing before descent.
2) Two flight crew members should be ensured in the pilot’s seats, except
the following situations:
(1) Pilots demand the sanitation on board due to physical reasons
(2) Pilot needs to go to the passenger cabin for passengers’
requirements or for business. But the occasion and time to leave the
cockpit is decided by the captain according to the operation
requirements, weather condition and cockpit work load at that time
and the cases expected.
(3) When flying by only two flight crewmembers, the staying time for
public relationship business in the passenger cabin should be
reduced to the best of the pilot’s ability. At the same time, the
leaving area should not go beyond the first three rows of economic
cabin or first class cabin.
3) Under certain special circumstances, flight may be carried out with one
pilot’s seat unoccupied due to safety reasons or the incapacitation of
the other pilot.
6.6.2 Flying Requirements
1) The pilot flying must get his seat all the time in the position where he
can control the airplane directly.
2) Commonly, only one qualified pilot in seat is appointed as Pilot Flying
3) The other pilot can not carry out other activities such as paper works,
dining etc. unless one pilot has held the control of the airplane.
4) Two or more than two functions which can only be carried out by the
persons with flight personnel license should not be carried out by one
flight crew member simultaneously
5) Except the flight crew members carrying out the duty, the pilots of
TJA who have the certificates of this airplane type may be allowed to
control the maneuvering devices by captain under the special
circumstances.
6) The qualified supervisors and examiners to fly in this airplane, who
carry out inspective assignment or examination, are allowed to control
the maneuvering devices according to the regulations by captain.
7) The qualified pilots from other airlines approved by TJA are allowed
to control the maneuvering devices according to the regulations.
8) Any one who can not meet the conditions of the above items should

Chapter 6 General Regulation during Flight Page: 6-6-1


No.:TJA-OP1
Flight Operations Manual Ver.:1303-0
Rev.:130709

not be allowed to control the airplane during flight by any captain.


6.6.3 Flight Control Conversion
1) When carrying out the conversion of the flight control, Pilot Flying
must call “You have control”, and the pilot taking over the flying
authority must call “I have control”.
2) When carrying out the conversion of the flying during manual control,
the pilot taking over the flying must put his hand and feet on the lever
(wheel) and rudder, and call “Take over the flying” after he has got the
actual control of the airplane.
3) In case of handover control during abnormal or emergency situation,
the pilot who is taking over control should keep alert and situation
awareness and callout “my control” when aircraft is confirmed to be
transferred and aircraft’s track is under control, that means the
confirmation of pilot’s responsibility.

6.7 Manual Control


1) During manual flying, the control of the MCP panel should be carried
out by PM, and the PF gives the order and verifies it.
2) Manual control mode may be selected by PF according to the weather
condition, and it is not allowed to be used when the airplane staying in
margin weather approach. At that time autopilot should be used and
cannot be disengaged until approaching to the point at which enough
visual references are established by flight crewmembers for landing

6.9.1 Use of Autopilot
1) During the flight with autopilot on, the pilot flying is in charge of
monitoring the automations of the airplane and controlling the MCP
panel; meanwhile, flight crew should monitor auto flight and
navigation system and ensure the proper responses from aircraft by the
followings:
a) Cross check the status of MCP;
b) Observe the changes of the mode;
c) Monitor the change of F/D and aircraft’s response.
2) The autopilot should be disengaged and manual control should be
carried out when any situation occurs beyond the control range of
autopilot performance or the autopilot is not holding the expected
course during an instrument approach.
3) During flight with autopilot engaged, at least one pilot should put his
hand on the thrust lever and control wheel (or control column) and his
feet on the pedals whenever there is, going to be or may be a change of
the aircraft status.
6.9.2 The Minimum Altitude with Autopilot(CCAR-121.587(a), (b), (c),
(d))

For PAR approach, AP and/ or FD may be used in HDG V/S
or TRK FPA mode
(4) Missed-approach (AP or FD engaged): 100 feet AGL
(5) Other flight phrases: 500 feet AGL
It is not allowed to use AP or FD in OPEN DES or DES mode during
the approach, unless FCU (flight control unit) altitude setting is no less
than the minimum or 500 feet, whichever is higher.
3) Auto land
(1) Flight crew should be aware that LOC (localizer) or GS (glide
slope) may fluctuate without any association with aircraft
systems. The PNF must be prepared to disconnect the AP and
take appropriate actions once any abnormal guidance occurs.
(2) If an autoland is not intended, the flight crew msut disengage

6.10 Flight Monitoring


6.10.1 Pilot Flying
When one crewmember is in charge of the cockpit management and flight
process, other crewmembers are performing their duties effectively which
is monitoring, this crewmember is considered to be the Pilot Flying.
6.10.2 Take-over of the Controlling Responsibility
1) During control switch, the previous pilot flying should inform his
successor of associated conditions which should be crosschecked item
by item, including:
(1) Present Route, Change of the Route, Detour Flight and the
Estimated Time of the Next Check Point
(2) Flight Altitude, Altimeter Setting and the Changes Needed
(3) Cruise Speed and Cruise Procedures
(4) The Weather Reports of Airport and Route
(5) The select of the navigation mode should be pointed out if autopilot
engaged.
(6) Fuel Quantity
(7) Other important items including failure equipments and situations.
2) The Succeeding pilot flying should also:
(1) Check the trim of the airplane.
(2) Confirm that the related items of communication and flight process
have been carried out.
(3) Confirm that the related items of communication and flight process
have been carried out.
3) During flight, at least one qualified pilot should be flying the aircraft,
but two qualified pilots must be in their seats to control the aircraft
during takeoff, landing and turbulence.
6.10.3 Navigation Monitor
Navigation Monitor Methods
6.10.3.1 Before leaving the radio navigation equipment coverage
1) Use DME or VOR/DME raw data (radio bearing and distance
indication) on the ND to confirm the precision of FMC (flight
management control) position detection. Compare with the direction
and distance of waypoint display on the FMC/CDU FIX page,
observe the difference.
2) Check FMC CDU displayed position data
For the same navigation waypoint, check GPS, INTERTIAL RADIO
direction and distance position display or longitude and latitude data
display on the FMC POS page, compare the differences.
3) Uses manual tuned navigation equipment radio direction distance
indication as long as possible, discover the possibly existed
navigation error. Although FMC position is in “IRS navigation only”,

Chapter 6 General Regulation during Flight Page: 6-10-1


No.:TJA-OP1
Flight Operations Manual Ver.:1303-0
Rev.:130709

may more accurate than VOR or ADF. This crosscheck method is


only used to detect the error.
6.10.3.2 Outside of the radio navigation equipment coverage
1) FMC ND uses the map mode to observe “XXERROR (track error)”
error display on the second page of CDU RPOG PAGE.
2) Observe FD of the two PFD (primary flight display), two FD
indication disagreement shows any deviation of the two FMC.
3) Before the waypoint
Check whether the airplane magnetic heading and magnetic track are
correct
A Read estimated magnetic track to the waypoint on the flight plan or
Jeppsan chart.
B Check whether the next waypoint track on the ND or CDU LEG
PAGE agrees with the computer flight plan data
4) Passing through the waypoint
A Confirm the airplane divert to estimated magnetic heading, whether
the indicated magnetic track and distance on ND is the same with
estimated.
B Compare the position passing through the waypoint with the flight
plan, whether it is the same with estimated.
5) After the waypoint
Confirm again whether the track error on the second page of CDU
PROG PAGE equals to zero.
6.10.3.3 Return back to the radio navigation equipment coverage
1) Select the available navigation equipment check position through
manual tune.
2) Compared with DME, VOR/DME or NDB direction or direction and
distance indication with related position indication of FMC CDU,
crosscheck to confirm FMC indication position.
6.10.3.4 Navigation accuracy check
During any flight phase, corrections should be made for any possible
deviation of the navigation system to ensure that aircraft is flying on
scheduled track. The precision of navigation system should be checked
before approach and after delayed flight. (as required by different
aircraft types.)
1) Insert the VOR/DME code or frequency into NAV PAGE of CDU,
read the direction/distance on the left lower or right lower corner of
CDU, and insert the VOR/DME code into the FIX page, the
VOR/DME direction/distance could be seen on the FIX PAGE,
compare the differences and record, judge the navigation precision.
2) Airline abeam some VOR/DME, VOR/DME frequency and code
could also be picked and compare with distance/direction with VOR

Chapter 6 General Regulation during Flight Page: 6-10-2


No.:TJA-OP1
Flight Operations Manual Ver.:1303-0
Rev.:130709

abeam airline on the FIX PAGE to get the navigation accuracy and
record.
3) Pass through the VOR/DME, just pass VOR/DME, FMC longitude
and latitude could be picked from POS PAGE, and compare with the
known VOR/DME position to get the navigation accuracy. Note:
each longitude and latitude could be measured on the chart, the
navigation accuracy could be achieved through calculation.
Note: make sure that the left and right seat one CDU should be
displayed on second page of the PROG PAGE, track error is
indicated zero, effective after confirm or manual correct.
4) Mark the data on the airline diagram, mark on the computer flight
plan which navaids has check navigation accuracy and check result.
6.10.3.5 After flight
If the airplane has large navigation error, significant map drift or
remaining ground speed indication, record should be made in the Flight
logbook and navigation equipments should be checked.

6.11 Surveillance
1) The basic purpose of Surveillance is to maintain the safe flight track,
which is ensured by PF observing outside and PM monitoring flight
instruments.
2) All flight crewmembers should be very clear of the intentions of PF
and all used procedures by PF at any time and survey closely that the
operation of the airplane is in consistent with the operating procedures.
Whether it is manual or automatic flight, the key actions must be cross
checked so as to verify the accuracy of the operation. It includes: the
change of airplane configuration (landing gear, flaps, speed brake),
setting of heading, altitude (window), and assigned altitude which is
higher than minimum safety altitude, airspeed (bug) setting; handover
control; during takeoff or approach phases, change of auto flight
system/flight management system and radio navigation equipment;
weight/mass, balance calculation and other related autopilot AFS/FMS
input; performance calculation and input, includes: AFS/FMS input etc.
In case of any of the followings, any flight crew should remind “PF”
immediately:
Any flight crew member who notices the following conditions should
remind the PF immediately:
(1) The standard operating procedures are not performed.
(2) ATC clearances are not implemented.
(3) Deviations from the normal flight path.
3) During all approach processes, the PM is responsible for monitoring
the track accuracy, speed, ascent/descent rate indication, the altitude
for entering the runway and additional standard challenge of the
airplane. When the deviation goes beyond the regulations of the item
9.7, the PM must be alerted and report to PF immediately.
4) When visual references are established and AP is disengaged, the
available navigation facilities (especially the G/S and V/S indication)
may still be used to monitor the approach.
5) Cross-checks enable both pilots to maintain vigilance against any
deviation from the normal approach procedure and accidents due to
incapacitation of any pilot.
6) The following important systems require cross-check and verbal
confirmation from the other pilot when performing the abnormal and
emergency procedure: thrust levers, fuel master switch or control
switch, engine fire handle or switch, engine fire switch, IDG/CSD
disengage switch.

6.12 Standard Callouts


1) Standard callouts should be used for cross check, coordination and
reaching agreements, it is normally used: commanding orders, task
sharing; confirmation of received instructions; QRH challenge and
response; the callout of instrument changing; special events
identification; recognizing of limitations. Callout should be performed
in every phase of flight. Refer to Associated Flight Crew Standard
Operating Procedures for the time and contents of standard callouts.
2) Standard callouts are challenged by the PM, and responded by the PF.
If the PM fails to challenge the item, the PF should call out.
3) Any intentional deviation from the standard procedures should be
announced clearly by the PF for the PM to monitor.
4) The PF must answer and take actions to the challenges made by the
PM to show his consciousness.
5) A pilot should be considered as incapacitated if he fails to respond to
the second challenge or further challenges.

6.13 Cockpit Lights


1) The illumination of the cockpit should be at the degree of brightness at
which not only the maximum definition can be achieved but also the
good outer visibility. The brightness of the displays should be balanced
on both left and right side, and consistent with other illumination
brightness in cockpit.
2) During night operation, the light in the cockpit should be modulated to
remain low brightness in order to let the flight crew members get the
optimum visual effect at night.
3) During day operation, all switches, warning lights and beacons should
be modulated to a proper brightness.

abnormal and emergency situations comply with the procedures set in
the operational manual and the requirements of aircraft airworthiness
certificate.
1) TJA should provide every airplane with approved cockpit checklists.
Flight crew should always use the approved Company checklists. The
PIC should make sure that the supplied checklists are used.
2) No pilot should recite the checklists except for the memory items.
3) If any item cannot be performed immediately or is not responded
correctly, the checklist must be stopped at this item until it is
completed.
4) The calling pilot must call the full name of the checklist; the reading
pilot must declare that “XXX checklist complete” after finishing the
checklist.
5) The use of normal checklist and QRH is mandatory. Normal checklist
and QRH should be placed in such a way that they can be accessed by
pilots from any pilot seat immediately.
6) When the aircraft is on the ground and any aircraft equipment is
maintenance, tested or operated by the mechanics or any other pilot
other than the PM and the PF, the checklist must be started from the
beginning.
7) If the checklist is interrupted due to ATC or other reasons, the
checklist may be continued from where it is interrupted.
8) If both in-seat pilots have left their seats before the aircraft moves, the
completed checklists must be performed again.
9) Cockpit observers must supervise the performance of checklist.

6.38 Runway Incursion Prevention Procedure


6.38.1 Flight crew shall acknowledge all relative airport signs; identify
the markers and lighting of runway and holding point.
6.38.2 Standard communication terms should be used during radio
communications. Some ATC instructions must be repeated such as “line
up, hold short of runway, cross active runway” etc. The flight crew
should taxi the airplane to the designated position, and the captain shall
ensure the airplane nose and empennage keep in specific position,
especially at some parallel runway with small separation.
6.38.3 During flight preparation, flight crew should copy the taxi path
from ATC while using the airport charts and airfield marks as a reference
and an analysis; prepare the high risk of runway incursions such as
multi-runway airport, busy airports, and airports under constructions.
6.38.4 The flight crew should stop the airplane and check if anyone in
cockpit suspects or object to the taxi instruction.
6.38.5 At unfamiliar airports, the flight crew may consider to request a
follow me car or more detailed ground instructions.
6.38.6 At low visibility runway condition (RVR less than 1200 feet),
report all airplane signs. Follow the low visibility taxi procedures if
available. Checklist could be done only after the airplane stopped.
6.38.7 The flight crew should cross check the ATC instructions before the
airplane moves into complex taxiway intersection or crosses the active
runway; one of the flight crew should look outsides to ensure no
intruders.
6.38.8 After obtained the line up clearance, one of the flight crew should
observe the takeoff path and landing direction clear on both sides. The
airplane will be lining up after cross check and captain called” LEFT
CLEAR” while the first officer called “RIGHT CLEAR ”
6.38.9 Lining up or crossing the runways, the flight crew should turn on
all external lights, and switch the TCAS to TA/RA mode.
6.38.10 After fully vacated the runway, the flight crew may report
“runway vacated”, the after landing procedures maybe done when
established the communications.
6.38.11 When operating at low visibility runway or busy airfield, the
transponder mode should be set at “S” or the mode which is required by
ground control.
6.38.12 After obtained the takeoff clearance or before reaching the
decision height on final, the flight crew must visually contact the runway
to ensure no obstacle. Missed approach or go around procedure must be
immediately applying when there is object or intruder airplane on the
landing runway.
6.38.13 If the flight crew enters the runway inadvertently or other

Chapter 6 General Regulation during Flight Page: 6-38-1


No.:TJA-OP1
Flight Operations Manual Ver.:1303-0
Rev.:130709

airplane intrusion is encountered, the flight crew should turn on all


external lights and report to ATC without any delay for the proper avoid
actions.
6.38.14 The flight crew should make sure the airplane position and flight
conditions at any phase of flight. Maintain clear situational awareness and
verify the airplane condition complied with the flight conditions in order
to avoid the runway incursions.

6.39 Circuit Breaker reset


1)For E190, when the CBs popped, refer to the operating procedure in
the AOM14-05-30
2)For E145, in principle a tripped CB should not be reset by the flight
crew, either during ground operations or in flight. If, in the
Captain’s judgment, the equipment is essential to the safety of
flight, the following must be considered prior to a CB reset
attempt:
(1) Allow the tripped CB a minimum cooling period of at least 3
minutes before attempting to reset;
(2) Whenever possible, switch the corresponding equipment off before
resetting the tripped CB in order to minimize the potential
electrical current overload and sparking effects;
(3) A briefing on the possibility of losing all the equipment associated
with the same bus bar, and on the fire fighting equipment location
and procedures (including coordination with the cabin crew) by the
flight crew are recommended before resetting the CB; and
(4) If the CB trips again, the corresponding system/equipment must be
considered inoperative, and the circuit breaker must not be reset
again.
WARNING: RESETTING THE FUEL PUMP CIRCUITS, OR THE
FUEL QUANTITY INDICATING SYSTEM CB’S ARE
PROHIBITED.
3) For A320, CB refers to ABN 80.19; 80.20.

7.6 Operational Limitation of Airplane Performance
7.6.1General(CCAR-121.173)
The airplanes of TJA are all turbo-engines.The regulations from CCAR-
121.189 to 197 should be observed. TJA should use performance data of
Airplane Flight Manual to ensure complying with the regulations from
CCAR-121.189 to 197.When the conditions involved are different from
the pursuant conditions of these performance data, if the results of
interpolated or calculated method is as accurate as the one of direct
experiment, whether meeting the regulations or not can be determined by
interpolated method or through calculating the influence of detailed
change of variables .When they determine whether the performance data
accord with the regulations of CCAR-121 or not, the accuracy of the
entroute chart should be taken into consideration.
In addition, in order to make pilot find the performance data for all flight
phases quickly during normal flight or in case of abnormal situation, in
addition to AFM, the performance part in QRH and FMS for all types of
aircrafts will provide all required performance data for takeoff, climb,
cruise, descent, approach, landing. It includes:
i) Aircraft weight;
ii) Operating procedure;
iii)Pressure altitude;
iv)Temperature;
v)Wind;
vi)Normal/contaminated runway takeoff data;
vii)Take off configurations(landing gear/flaps setting)
viii ) Field length limitation for takeoff/landing in different
configurations;
ix ) Capabilities with OEI/AEO (in different configuration,
different flight phases);
x)Brake energy/cooling time;
xi)Thrust;
1)The contents in QRH is supplementary to the FMC performance
data. It provides sufficient data to complete flight in case of FMC failure.
However, AFM should be respected when any conflicts exist between the
provided data and approved AFM.
2)To ensure the precision of all data or when pilot find the
provided data is not precise, AFM should be considered or request
performance analyzer to provide precise data.
3 ) When QRH performance data is used, flight crew should
consider:
i)Degradation/missing of onboard equipments;
ii)The degradation of airport equipments described in NOTOMAS;
iii)Weather factors(extreme hot/extreme cold);

iv)The features of flying airport(obstacles, runway gradient, high
altitude area etc.;)
7.6.2 Takeoff limitations for Turbine-engine-powered airplanes:
(CCAR-121.189)
1) No person operating a turbine-engine-powered airplane may takeoff
that airplane at a weight greater than that listed in the Airplane Flight
Manual for the elevation of the airport and for the ambient
temperature existing at takeoff.
2) No person operating a turbine-engine-powered transport category
airplane may takeoff that airplane at a weight greater than that listed
in the Airplane Flight Manual at which compliance with the
following may be shown:
(1) The accelerate-stop distance must not exceed the length of the
runway plus the length of any stopway;
(2) The takeoff distance must not exceed the length of the runway
plus the length of any clearway, neither should the length of
any clearway included be greater than one-half the length of the
runway.
(3) The takeoff run must not be greater than the length of the
runway.
3) No person operating a turbine-engine-powered airplane may takeoff
that airplane at a weight greater than that listed in the Airplane Flight
Manual that allows a net takeoff flight path that clears all obstacles
either by a height of at least 10.7 meters (35 feet) vertically, or by at
least a specific distance horizontally. The specific distance will be
the smaller of the following two values:
(1) 90 meters (300 feet) + 0.125D, where D refers to the distance
from the airplane to the end of takeoff distance available;
(2) For VFR flight, when the heading of intended track varies less
than 15 degrees, the distance will be 300 meters; when the
heading varies more than 15 degrees, the distance will be 600
meters. For IFR flight, when the heading of intended track
varies less than 15 degrees, the distance will be 600 meters;
when the heading varies more than 15 degrees, the distance will
be 900 meters.
4) In determining maximum weights, minimum distances, and flight
path under paragraphs (a) through (c) of this section, correction must
be made for the runway to be used, the elevation of the airport, the
effective runway gradient, and the ambient temperature and wind
component at the time of takeoff.
5) For the purpose of this section, it is assumed that the airplane is not
banked before reaching a height of 15.2 meters (50 feet), as shown
by the takeoff path or net takeoff flight path data (as appropriate) in
the Airplane Flight Manual, and thereafter, that the maximum bank
is not more than 15 degrees.
6) For the purpose of this section, the terms "takeoff distance", "takeoff

Flight Operations Manual Ver.:1303-0
Rev.:130709
run", "net takeoff flight path", and "takeoff path" have the same
meanings as set forth in the rules under which the airplane was
certificated.
7.6.3Airplanes: Turbine-engine-powered: En route limitations: One
engine inoperative(CCAR-121.191)
1) No person operating a turbine-engine-powered airplane may take off
that airplane at a weight, allowing for normal consumption of fuel
and oil, that is greater than that which (under the approved, one
engine inoperative, en route net flight path data in the Airplane
Flight Manual for that airplane) will allow compliance with one of
the following two requirements, based on the ambient temperatures
expected en route :
(1) There is a positive slope at an altitude of at least 300 meters
(1000 feet) above all terrain and obstructions within 25 km
(13.5 nm) on each side of the intended track, and there is a
positive slope at 450 meters (1500 feet) above the airport where
the airplane is assumed to land after an engine fails.
(2) The net flight path allows the airplane to continue flight from
the cruising altitude to an airport where a landing can be made
under CCAR 121.197, clearing all terrain and obstructions
within 25 km (13.5 nm) on each side of the intended track by at
least 600 meters (2000 feet) vertically and with a positive slope
at 450 meters (1500 feet) above the airport where the airplane
lands after an engine fails.
2) For the purpose of (1) (2) of this item, it is assumed that:
(1) The engine fails at the most critical point en route;
(2) The airplane passes over the critical obstruction, after engine
failure at a point that is no closer to the obstruction than the
nearest approved radio navigation fix, unless the Administrator
authorizes a different procedure based on adequate operational
safeguards;
(3) An approved method is used to allow for adverse winds;
(4) The emergency fuel jettisoning procedures should not be taken
into consideration because there is no emergency fuel
jettisoning devices in the airplanes of TJA;
(5) The alternate airport is specified in the dispatch or flight release
and meets the prescribed weather minimums;
(6) The consumption of fuel and oil after engine failure is the same
as the consumption that is allowed for in the approved net flight
path data in the Airplane Flight Manual.
7.6.4Landing Analysis(CCAR-121.195)
1) No person operating a turbine-engine-powered airplane may take off
that airplane at such a weight that, allowing for normal consumption
of fuel and oil in flight to the destination or alternate airport, the

Chapter 7 Aircraft Performance page: 7-6-3


No.:TJA-OP1
Flight Operations Manual Ver.:1303-0
Rev.:130709
weight of the airplane on arrival would exceed the landing weight set
forth in the Airplane Flight Manual for the elevation of the
destination or alternate airport and the ambient temperature
anticipated at the time of landing.
2) Except as provided in paragraph (3), (4), or (5) of this section, no
person operating a turbine-engine-powered airplane may take off
that airplane unless its
weight on arrival, allowing for normal consumption of fuel and oil in
flight (in accordance with the landing distance set forth in the
Airplane Flight Manual for the elevation of the destination airport
and the wind conditions anticipated there at the time of landing),
would allow a full-stop landing at the intended destination airport
within 60 percent of the effective length of each runway described
below from a point 15.2 meters (50 feet) above the intersection of
the obstruction clearance plane and the runway. For the purpose of
determining the allowable landing weight at the destination airport
the following is assumed :
(1) The airplane is landed on the most favorable runway and in the
most favorable direction, in still air
(2) The airplane is landed on the most suitable runway, considering
the probable wind velocity and direction and the ground
handling characteristics of the airplane, and considering other
conditions such as landing aids and terrain;
3) No person may take off a turbojet-powered airplane when the
appropriate weather reports and forecasts, or a combination thereof,
indicate that the runways at the destination airport may be wet or
slippery at the estimated time of arrival unless the effective runway
length at the destination airport is at least 115 percent of the runway
length required by CCAR-121. 195(B).
4) The turbo-jet airplanes which are not allowed to take off for they can
not meet the requirements of item 2),(2), may take off if the alternate
airport appointed can meet all the requirements of CCAR-
121.195(B).
7.6.5Landing Limit of Turbo Engine Driven Airplane---Alternate Airport
(CCAR-121.197)
No person may list an airport as an alternate airport in a dispatch or flight
release for a turbine-engine-powered airplane unless (based on the
assumptions in 121.195 (b)) that airplane at the weight anticipated at the
time of arrival can be brought to a full stop landing within 70 percent of
the effective length of the runway for turbopropeller powered airplanes
and 60 percent of the effective length of the runway for turbojet powered
airplanes, from a point 15.2 meters (50 feet) above the intersection of the
obstruction clearance plane and the runway。

and roundly, TJA gives the duty members of the flight crew the
following requirements in particular: The duty members must wear
headset in the phase from airplane taxiing and taking off to before
climbing to the cruise altitude, and from descending from the cruise
altitude to stopping at the ramp.
1) If the cruise altitude is less than 3000 meters (10,000 ft), they must
wear headset during the whole flight phases.
2) The flight crew members who are responsible for communication
must wear earphones which can not be replaced by loudspeaker in
the whole flight to carry out telecommunication contact.。
3) Other members must monitor the contents of the communication and
carry out verification betimes, to ensure that the flight crews carry
out the orders of ATC controller correctly.

the telecommunication during the phase of climbing and descending.
At the same time they help monitoring the state of the airplane and
the parameter of the engine, and must not engaged in paper works
during that period.
8.1.7Regulations on monitoring the frequency 121.5
1) TJA has rules that the second frequency must be set to 121.5 during
all flight phases including the route which may be stopped by air
force aircraft or other dangerous area route, as well as on the long
range over water route, or the route that ELT is required for the
flight unless aircraft is communicating with other VHF, or it is not
allowed to use both channels by onboard equipments or by cockpit
commission. When the next control is needed to contact or ATIS is
required, the No.2 shall be set and contacted by No.2; As soon as the

8.2 Communications with ATC (CCAR-121.133(f(14))
8.2.1Flight crew must strictly observe relevant ATC regulations: The
flight crew members must be familiar with and observe the related
communication regulations of ATC, understand and accept the orders
of ATC, and fully consider the influence of the terrain factor, etc.
Once the flight safety is endangered, Captain has the final disposition
right, and is responsible for the decision.
8.2.2Other requirements
Except the related regulations of 8.1 section in this chapter, when the
flight crew members carry out communication contact, they must also
observe the following items:
1) Important ATC orders (altitude, heading etc.) must be repeated.
When having not heard the whole order clearly or losing part of the
order, they must ask until it is accurate and inerrable.
2) When having not established connection with the next ATC area,
they are not allowed to disconnect communication with the previous
ATC (including ground frequency and tower, tower and approach,
approach and area control etc.)
3) Under normal circumstances, contact the next ATC area 5-10
minutes or 40-80 nm before reaching the intersection.
4) They must ask for the consent of ATC to carry out the deviation if
the deviation from the former flight plan is needed due to the
weather of the flight route, and ask for instructions of the related
ATC when deviating to another ATC area.
5) The crew members must monitor the communication and confirm
timely to perform ATC clearance correctly.
The contents shall include( but not limited to the following):
(1) In high area;
(2) Heading , flight level, flight course/ waypoint clearance;
(3) Holding out of runway clearance.
6) At any time, both pilots should response from ATC cleared altitude
and set altitude via the meter/feet convention table, confirmation
should be made for the altitude setting. Whenever the flight crew
doubts the received indication or instruction, especially the call sign
confusion when receiving the altitude indication and read back, flight
crew should confirm with ATC. Before the confirmation from ATC,
do not execute the next action rashly.
7) For all flight phases, both the active and standby windows of the first
radio must be set to the frequency used by the controller as required;
both the active and standby windows of the second radio must be set
to 121.5 and monitored by the pilots. Both radio transmitter selector
switches must be set to the first one.

8.4 High Frequency Air- ground Communication System
When the area the airplane stay in goes beyond the scope of VHF
communication on the ground, the over ocean HF communication radio
system may provide communication service immediately. Its sending out
form is single band.
8.4.1Regulations and notices of High Frequency Communication
1) High Frequency Communication System should not be used during
airplane’s fueling and defuelling period. Although High Frequency
Communication may be used on the ground not in the fueling and
refueling period, other communication means is recommended to be
used for keeping contact on the ground to the best of their abilities.
2) Low sensitivity will influence the receiving effect of the system,
including high frequency communication and the receiving of the
SELCAL signal.
The frequency provided is only the reference frequency, and the
possibility that other communication frequency will be better can not
be excluded. If the effect of main frequency is not good or
communication can not be established, modulate to other frequency
for a try. Flight crew may refer to the following principles to set the
frequency:
(1) The higher the sun’s position is, the higher the frequency need
to be set.
(2) The further the distance is, the higher the frequency need to be
set.
3) After the frequency is modulated every time, the Push-To-Talk (PPT)
button of the microphone must be pressed to carry out antenna
coupling tuning. During tuning, the harsh voice of it may be heard
through audio system. After tuning (Commonly, the tuning time is
less than 15 seconds) and its voice disappears, normal talk may be
carried out.
4) High Frequency Communication is semi duplex communication, and
the both sides of the communication can not talk simultaneously, so
during talking, “OVER” or “GO AHEAD” must be used as
conclusion.
8.4.2High Frequency Radio Check
Before flying into the over ocean airspace, flight crew should check high
frequency communication system. Complete the following check
procedures, according to Airplane Flight Manual of this type. If the
following conditions can be met, it is indicated that the high frequency
communication system is operating normally:
1) It has been used in the previous flight segment, and record no related
failure in the Log Book;
2) Maintenance personnel or the last flight crew have checked HF
communication system, and definite paper record is in the Log Book.

8.4.3Branch Airliner and operation control centre Supplemental Procedures of
Ground-air Communication
1) General
This procedure is constituted to meet the regulations of CCAR121.625,and solve the
problems of ground-air communication contact.
2) Communication System
The available communication systems include VHF communication system, TJA’s
HF communication system. During flight in the area covered by TJA VHF
communication system signal, the VHF communication system should be taken as a
chief means to contact operation control centre. TJA HF communication system
should be used when they contact operation control centre in other areas.
3) Guaranteed Procedures
For the each route of various aircrafts operated by TJA, Dispatch Technical Center
of Operation Control Department should set several company mandatory report points
according to flight leg distance and flight time (if flight time is above 1 hour (contain
1 hour), contact OPERATION CONTROL CENTRE once per no less than 30
minutes). For example, two company mandatory report points should be defined en
route for the flight leg from one hour (contained) to one hour and a half (not
contained), and three mandatory report points should be defined en route for the flight
leg from one hour and a half (contained) to 2 hours (not contained), the rest may be
deduced by analogy, no company mandatory report points need to be defined for the
flight leg within one hour. Data Management Center provides the flight crew and
OPERATION CONTROL CENTRE in written form with the airline in which
company mandatory report points have been set, and the information of the company
mandatory report points
(1) Flight crew should learn and understand the position of TJA mandatory report
point during the preparation before flight, and connect with OPERATION
CONTROL CENTRE to circulate operation status on their own initiative by
using TJA HF communication system, the content at least include: airplane
position, estimated time of arriving next point and flight status; if can not
contact OPERATION CONTROL CENTRE directly, they should transfer the
information to OPERATION CONTROL CENTRE by ATC;
(2) Dispatchers carry out real time monitoring on the flight after takeoff through
monitoring phone or HF communication system. If still can not contact flight
crew 10 minutes after reaching TJA mandatory report point, they should contact
relative ATC to find out flight position and state according to the position of the
airplane on their own initiative and make working records in the communication
recorder of TJA mandatory report point; if they still can not receive the accurate
landing information 15 minutes after the flight estimated landing time, they
should contact relative ATC to find out the flight status and make operation
record.
(3) After completing flight operation, flight crew feed back the details that they can
not contact OPERATION CONTROL CENTRE at the TJA mandatory report
waypoints during operation to OPERATION CONTROL CENTRE in written
form, the dispatcher in command of OPERATION CONTROL CENTRE fill in
the communication recorder of TJA mandatory report point for future reference.

2) Ground-Air Communication Procedure
This chapter described the use of the related high frequency voice communication
network service procedure. The operator and the call center carry on calling and
accomplish corresponding transfer, realizing the direct ground to aircraft high
frequency aural communication according to this procedure.
(1) Call Center and Airborne Equipment Setting
The call center should provide the data link (ACARS) position message ground
service data displaying terminal and the special-purpose high frequency voice transfer
post (the high frequency voice transfer post includes: the radio and frequency
selection, SELCAL, the telephone and many kinds of other communication functions,
may provide: message transmission, PHONE PATCH, voice monitor services and so
on.
Due to the inherent characteristic of high frequency communication, the high
frequency voice communication services provider should select specific daytime
frequency and night frequency according to the different time, and issue the allocation
plan of day and night frequency regularly to each operator.
Due to the limitation of monitor frequency of airborne high frequency radio, if the
aircraft provides 2 available high frequency voice radios and SELCALs, the aircrew
may according to the published Frequency Table select monitor frequencies of two
high frequency radios to separately. Poor communication effect occurs or cannot
establish communication on the selected frequency when contact the aircrew on
ground, other method may be used relation to inform the aircrew to change frequency,
for example: the Call Center may select using data link (ACARS) system.
(2) Operation Procedure

Chapter 8 Communication page: 8-4-4


No.:TJA-OP1
Flight Operations Manual Ver.:1303-0
Rev.:130709
This section stipulates high frequency voice communication system's
operation flow and responsibilities of the aviation operator (operation
control personnel), the call center (Person on duty) and the aircraft (flight
crew) during the communication. According to the different side who
initiates the communication, the operation flow can be divided into two
modes: the upward call (Ground to Air) and the downward call (Air to
Ground).
A. Ground-to-Air Call
Ground-to-Air Call is first sent by operation control department of
airline through call center in order to communicate with flight crews.
The operation procedure is below:
a. Using the hot line or the duty phone of call center to connect, after
connected the call center, the operation department should confirm the
user’s information with duty person, the number on the tail of aircraft,
the call sign and the location of aircraft should be provided, then
waiting for the change over by call center. In the emergent situation,
the flight crew should directly dial the emergency call of call center.
b. Call center select the proper according to the information of Aircraft
which provides by the operation control department of airline runner,
the procedure is below:
I Call the aircraft on the first alternative frequency on the day time
frequency and evening frequency. Each call operates continuously
3 times; the interval between each time is 30 seconds. If did not
receive the reply of flight crew, the call center follows the next
step. (If suitable) Using the ACARS to inform the flight crew to
set the HF on the second alternative frequency, after the 30
seconds interval of confirm, then taking the next step operation.
II Call the aircraft on the second alternative frequency. Each call
operates continuously 3 times; the interval between each time is
30 seconds. If did not receive the recall of flight crew, the call
center follows the next step. (If it is suitable) Using the ACARS
to inform the flight crew to set the HF on the third alternative
frequency, after the 3 minutes interval of confirm, then taking
the next step operation.
III Call the aircraft on the second alternative frequency. Each call
operates continuously 3 times; the interval between each time is
30 seconds. If did not receive the recall of flight crew, the call
center should inform the operation control department of airline.
c. The flight crews should follow the below operation procedure:
I When the HF indicate light glisten with indicating ring (the
indicating way is different depend on the type of aircraft), the
pilot should report call sign and flight number. For example,
the flight crew should answer, “GS7001, go ahead”. The
answer of call center is “GS7001, this is Beijing call

Flight Operations Manual Ver.:1303-0
Rev.:130709
center…”
II When the flight crews received the order to change frequency
through ACARS, the pilot should follow the order and adjust the
frequency.
III When the flight crews receive the call from call center, the
pilot should follow the order of duty man of call center to keep
the communication situation and wait for putting through
between operation control departments. After the end of
communication, the frequency is not at the first alternative
frequency and second alternative frequency.
d After receive the reply of flight crew, the call center connects
the wired connection of operation control department to the
wireless connection of flight crews, then inform operation
control department to begin communication.
e After the operation control department received the instruction
from call center that the communication is began, they use the
simplex communication to communicate with the flight crews, and
then hang off after the end of communication.
f The call center disconnects the communication after the end of
communication and recovers the monitoring condition.
C The procedure of Air to ground communication
The air to ground communication is first sent by flight crews.
Through communication center, the flight crew builds voice
communication with operation control department. The detail
procedures below:
a. The flight crew should follow the procedures below:
I The flight crew calls the call center on first alternative
frequency, such as “Beijing Call Center, this is GS7001”.
Each call operates continuously 3 times; the interval
between each time is 30 seconds. If can not receive the
reply of call center, the flight crew follows the next step.
II The flight crew calls the call center on second
alternative frequency. Each call operates continuously
3 times; the interval between each time is 30 seconds. If
can not receive the reply of call center, the flight crew
follows the next step.
III The flight crew calls the call center on third alternative
frequency. Each call operates continuously 3 times;
the interval between each time is 30 seconds. If still can
not receive the reply of call center, the flight crew
should try other ways of communication to build
connection.
IV In emergent condition, the flight crew should follow the
procedures above, and the content of communication should

No.:TJA-OP1
Flight Operations Manual Ver.:1303-0
Rev.:130709
changed into “Beijing Call Center, BOHAI7001, emergency
call” in order to get the priority.
b. After receive the call from flight crew, the call center should follow the
procedures below:
I In the same channel, for example, “ Roger BOHAI 7001,
This isBeijing Call Center, standby for the phone patch, over.”
II Meanwhile, according to the airline appointed phone
number, the call center connects with the operation
control department.
III After receive the reply of operation control department,
the call center connects the wired connection of
operation control department to the wireless connection
of flight crews, then inform flight crew to begin
communication.
c. After the operation control department received the instruction
from call center that the communication is began, they use the
simplex communication to communicate with the flight crews, and
then hang off after the end of communication.
d When the flight crews receive the call from the call center, the
pilot should follow the order of the duty man of call center to
keep the communication condition and wait for putting through
between operation control center. After the end of
communication, the frequency should be at the first alternative
frequency and second alternative frequency or at the frequency
appointed by airline.
e The call center disconnects the communication after the end of
communication and recovers the monitoring condition.
D The Responsibility of Each Department of Downward Call
a. Undertakes the responsibilities and duties according to the flow in c,
2.2.2.1 when aviation operator operation control division makes
downward call.
b. Undertakes the responsibilities and duties according to the flow in the b,
e of 2.2.2.1when the Call Center makes downward call. When many
operators simultaneously calls come across, generally the call center
will process in order of sequence, and the emergency call has priority.
c. For the downward call, the aircrew should execute the responsibilities
and duties according to the flow in a, c, d of 2.2.2.1. If the aircraft
installs two available HF voice radio, the aircrew should separately
select two radio frequencies on the first and the second standby
frequency, or the frequency designated by the operator; If only has one
radio, then should select on the first standby frequency, or the
frequency designated by the operator. If receives emergency call from
other flight when making the downward call, should suspend calling
until the emergency call completes, and call again.

8.6 Communication Failure
The Handling Procedures of Communication Failure
1) In case an airplane radio can’t contact an aviation radio station over
the assigned frequency, the crewmen of the airplane must try another
frequency that suits the air route. If they fail again, the airplane must
contact other airplanes or aviation radio stations over frequencies
suiting the air route. Meanwhile, all airplanes within the same
network shall keep monitoring for calls from airplanes nearby over
proper VHF frequencies.
2) In case an airplane radio can’t contact an aviation radio station over
the assigned frequency, the crewmen of the airplane must try another
frequency that suits the air route. If they fail again, the airplane must
contact other airplanes or aviation radio stations over frequencies
suiting the air route. Meanwhile, all airplanes within the same
network shall keep monitoring for calls from airplanes nearby over
proper VHF frequencies.
3) In case an airplane radio can’t communicate due to a receiver failure,
it shall send a report in the specific time or positions over the
assigned frequency adding the following message
“TRANSMITTING BLIND DUE T0 RECEIVER FAILURE”. The
content of the report shall be routine and sent twice. It shall also
inform the estimated time of the next report.。
4) In case an airplane wants to require for air control or consulting
services, it shall also send information about captains’ intention for
keeping their mission in addition to contents mentioned in 3).
5) In case an airplane can’t communicate due to onboard equipment
failure, it must choose code A7600 for the answering mode to
indicate the wireless communication failure, if it is equipped with
secondary radar answering device.
6) In case an airplane loses contact during an international flight
mission, the captain (or the communicator) shall make efforts to
communicate any ground radio stations in accordance with the
specific procedure of that country or area it is passing over to send
messages to China over the navigational management frequency.
7) For airplanes comprising the control airport or other airports, it is
required for them to keep an eye on other indications sent by eye
signal.
8.6.2 Except observes the communication failure procedures (Section
8.6.1), the following relative regulations should be complied with also as
appropriate::
1) For visual flight, the captain should maintain the visual contact and
fly to the nearest airport and land;

Chapter 8 Communication page: 8-6-1

Flight Operations Manual Ver.:1303-0
Rev.:130709
2) For instrument flight, the captain should follow the designated level
and Estimated Time of Arrival in the Flight Plan, fly to and over the
landing airport NAVAID. And conduct descend and instrument
approach in the order of the priority landing procedure within 30
minutes of Estimated Time of Arrival;
3) Only when makes sure that the landing airport's weather is lower
than the criteria, then can fly to the alternate airport as per the Flight
Plan.
(1) After changing the heading, maintains the original flight level
when the original level conforming to new heading's level
designation. If the original level is lower than the Minimum Safe
Altitude, should climb to the Minimum Safe Flight Level
conforming to the new heading.
(2) After diverting to the alternate airport and changing the heading,
if the original level conforming to the regulation of level
designation, maintains the original flight level; If the original
level is lower than the Minimum Safe Altitude, climbs to the
Minimum Safe Flight Level for the new heading; If the original
level does not conform to level designation for the new heading,
descends to the level complying with the new heading. If after
descent the altitude may be below the Minimum Safe Altitude,
then climbs to the Minimum Safe Flight Level conforming to
the new heading.

8.8 Over ocean communication
8.8.1 Communication net
Communication between remote overwater flight and ATC use over
ocean and remote communication net as well as company HF.
8.8.2 Over ocean communication net
1) ICAO published the over ocean communication net which covers most
of the flight route. These communication nets are developed by local
governments and private organizations. The main equipment for over
ocean communication is HF, sometimes VHF is also used for over ocean
communication, but it is restricted by distance.
2) During over ocean flight, position report or other information may be
needed transferring by other in-flight radio since communication distance
is restricted or communication is interfered by weather. The position or
important information report to ATC is also sent to company. Normally,
these routine information are not required to sent to the company, but
sometimes, for some special cases, or special report, flight crew should
request to sent these messages to the company related department..
8.8.3 Procedure for over ocean communication net
The following procedure should be followed when over ocean
communication net is going to be used:
1)When HF is being used, all clearance from ATC should be like “ATC
CLEARS…”;
2) Staying with ATC appointed frequency.
3) Listen to the ATC’s clearance strictly; Normally, ATC’s clearance is
delivered only once.
4) Read back ATC’s clearance word by word;
5) If the clearance can not be accepted, flight crew should request again
and explain (for example, GS 7111 request maintain FL370 due to
weight).
8.8.4 Remote communication net
Remote communication net is developed by several companies (Aviation
radio company, Stockholm, Oxford), which is HF communication net
system served by (Aviation radio company, Stockholm, Oxford).
Operation of HF refers to 8.4.
8.8.5 SECAL system
1) If flight crew’s communication is not kept with the radio frequency,
station radio may use SECAL system contact the certain aircraft on HF or
VHF. The HF or VHF with the SECAL system must be tuned to the
frequency which can receive the SECAL signal.
2) When SECAL is expected to be used in a certain leg, all checks should
be performed before flight. If the related system is inoperative or is not
checked, flight must keep the cleared frequency for the whole flight.

9 Flight Operations
9.1 General
The Operation Manual drawn up according to CCAR- 121 Part
and the applicable operation management regulations integrating the
practical situation of TJA, covers the policies, rules, directives and
procedures related to the flight, and confirms that <Aircraft Flight
Manual>,<QRH>, < MEL >,< SOP ><Flight Crew Training Manual>
etc. of each aircraft type (refer to Flight Standard System Diagram,
Chapter1) are supporting technical manuals of Operation Manual , all
are ranked as Company-class regulation. All relevant personnel must
implement strictly the content of SOP. The flight crew should fully
apply CRM technique during the whole flight operation. TJA shall
provide all pilots with CRM theoretical and skill training (for details,
refers to <CRM Training Program>).All pilots must sufficiently
understand the content of Operation Manual approved by TJA.
(1) Approaches approved by the state;
(2) Requirements for takeoff, approach and landing ceiling,
visibility;
(3) The margin of inoperative units on ground;
(4) Limitation of crosswind and the landing lights required.
2) TJA uses the procedures and checklists made and provided by
manufacturer, mainly including < Flight Operations Manual>,
<Aircraft Flight Manual>,, <QRH> and relevant flight technical
Bulletin. And the flollowings has been established to revise those
procedures and checklists. The revision flow has laid down a strict
checking and verifying procedure to prevent errors due to human
factors.
3) Route navigation facility(CCAR-121.101/121(a)、(b))
TJA only operate on the route approved by CAAC, these routes are
fitted for CAAC navigation facility’s requirements.
4) Low Visibility Operation is not available in TJA.
9.1.1 Minimum Flight Altitude
(CCAR-91.151/153/155/157/159)(CCAR-121.133(a)(8))
9.1.1.1 Minimum Altitude Definition
1) Minimum En-route IFR Altitude(MEA)
The lowest published altitude between radio fixes which assures
acceptable navigational signal coverage and meets obstacle clearance
requirements between those fixes.
2) Minimum Off-Route Altitude (MORA)
An altitude brought forward by Jeppesen. A route MORA provides
known obstacle clearance within 10 NM of the route
centreline.(Jeppesen Route Manual Guidance)

Chapter 9 Flight Operation page: 9-1-1


Np:TJA-OP1
Flight Operations Manual Ver:1303-0
Rev:130709

3) Minimum Obstruction Clearance Altitude(MOCA)


The lowest published altitude in effect between two VOR airways,
off-airway routes, or route segments which meets obstacle clearance
requirements for the entire route segment.
4) Minimum Sector Altitudes(MSA)
Altitude depicted on instrument approach, SID or STAR charts and
identified as the minimum safe altitude which provides a 1000 ft (300
m) obstacle clearance within a 25 NM (46 km).
5) Minimum Vectoring Altitude (MVA)
When onboard radar is available, it is controlled by ATC. MVA in
non-mountainous areas is 1000 ft above the highest obstruction. MVA
in mountainous areas is 2000 ft above the hisht obstruction.
6) Obstruction Clearance Floor (CCAR-121-121(b))
It means a plane overpassing or intersecting with all the objects in an
area around the runway with a slope ratio of 1 to 20. As shown by the
plane figure, the centerline of this area coincide with the one of the
runway, starting from the intersection point of the obstruction
clearance face and the centerline of the runway to a point at least 450
meters (1,500 feet) from the starting point. Then, this centerline will
coincide with the runway’s take-off track (while taking off) or
instrument approaching track (while landing), or when one of these
tracks can not be determined, will turn and extend to a certain point
along a radius of 1,200 meters (4,000 feet). Beyond this point, the
obstruction clearance face overpasses all objects. This area will
extend 60 meters (200 feet) breadth wise on both sides of the
centerline outside the intersection point of the obstruction clearance
point and the runway’s centerline to the point on the runway in this
width. Then, on both sides
7) Runway Effective Length (CCAR-121-161(a))
The distance from the intersection of the obstacle clearance surface
and runway centerline to the farthest end of runway.

9.1.1.2 Minimum Flight Altitude


1) Flight Altitude Rules(CCAR-121.673)
(1) No person may operate an aircraft below the minimums set forth in
paragraphs 2) and 3) of this section, except when necessary for
takeoff or landing, or except when, after considering the character
of the terrain, the quality and quantity of meteorological services,

Chapter 9 Flight Operation page: 9-1-2


Np:TJA-OP1
Flight Operations Manual Ver:1303-0
Rev:130709

the navigational facilities available, and other flight conditions, the


Administrator prescribes other minimums for any route or part of a
route where he finds that the safe conduct of the flight requires
other altitudes. Outside of the P.R China the minimums prescribed
in this section are controlling unless higher minimums are
prescribed in the certificate holder's operations specifications or by
the foreign country over which the aircraft is operating.
(2) Day VFR operations. No operations aircraft may operate any aircraft
under VFR during the day at an altitude less than 300 meters (1,000
feet) from any mountain, hill, or other obstruction to flight.
(3) No person may operate an aircraft under IFR at an altitude less than
400m (1,300 feet) above the highest obstacle in plain area, or, in
designated mountainous areas, less than 600m (2,000 feet) above the
highest obstacle within a horizontal distance of 25km (13.5 miles)
from the center of the intended course.
2) Minimum Safe Altitude
The commercial flight must meet the rules and regulations of the
Administrator as well as ATC clearance and ensure the minimum
safe altitude, which is higher.
(1) Aircraft must comply to the following rules during IFR operation
except takeoff and landing:
a) Instrument Flight in the Airport Area (CCAR-91.177)
Taking the navigation station as a central point, within a radius of 55
kilometers, the altitude between the aircraft and the top of the
highest obstacles should be no less than 300 meters in a plain area,
and no less than 600 in a hills or mountain area.
While entering the landing stage of the instrument approaching
procedure, the aircraft should be above the obstacle clearance
altitude stipulated by the procedure.
b) En route Instrument Flight
The vertical separation from the aircraft to the top of the highest
obstacle within 25 kilometers on both sides of the route shall be no
less than 400 meters in a plain area, and no less than 600 in a hills or
mountain area.
If there is strong wind, or strong upward or downward current
en-route, the separation shall not be less than 1000meters.

Chapter 9 Flight Operation page: 9-1-3


Np:TJA-OP1
Flight Operations Manual Ver:1303-0
Rev:130709

(2) In principle, visual flight on scheduled flight is not allowed by TJA,


except when approved by the person in charge of flight control of TJA
and under the precondition of acquiring special clearance of IFR arrival,
departure.
a) Visual Flight in the Airport Area
Aircraft with indicated cruising speed above 250 km/h shall
comply with the regulations on the minimum safety altitude of the
airport area.
Aircraft with indicated cruising speed equal to or below 250 km/h,
the true altitude between the aircraft and the highest obstacle shall
be no less than 100 meters.
(2) En route Visual Flight
a) Aircraft with indicated cruising speed above 250 km/h shall be in
accordance with the regulations on the minimum safety altitude
for the line instrument flight.
b) Aircraft with indicated cruising speed equal to or below 250 km/h
is generally in accordance with the regulations on the minimum
safety altitude for the line instrument flight. As for the flight below
the minimum flight level, the vertical separation between the
aircraft and the top of the highest obstacles within 5 kilometers of
both sides of the route shall be no less than 100 meters in a plain
area, and no less than 300 meters in a hills or mountain area.
(3) Terminal Area
Arrival/departure altitude is no less than the published minimum
sector altitude, except published minimum altitude stipulated by
instrument arrival/departure track.
For takeoff limitations for turbine engine powered, please refer to
7.6.2, section 7.
3) En-route Minimum Altitude
(1) Normal Operation
a) En-route IFR flight levels or altitudes should be higher than the
published Minimum En-route IFR Altitude (MEA) indicated on
en-route charts.
The minimum safe en-route altitude should be the higher of the
Minimum Off-Route Altitude (MORA) and the published
Minimum Obstruction Clearance Altitude (MOCA). Both
minimum altitudes are indicated on en-route charts when they exist.
If available and not limiting, the grid MORA may be used as minimum
flight altitude. These minimum altitudes must be respected along the track
with all engines operative unless a procedure has been approved to cope
with depressurisation.
b) During flight preparation, the en-route minimum altitudes must be

Chapter 9 Flight Operation page: 9-1-4


Np:TJA-OP1
Flight Operations Manual Ver:1303-0
Rev:130709

established for all the route segments.


(2) Abnormal Operation
a) For engine failure, the net flight path as defined in the aircraft Flight
Manual must be considered.
The net flight path is established considering a drift down procedure
taking into account a given drift down speed associated with the
expected aircraft weight, the remaining engine(s) being set at MCT
(Maximum Continuous Thrust), and considering the effect of: air
conditioning;Icing protection system if its use is expected, wind and
temperature.
For enroute limitations of turbine engine powered aircraft – one
engine inoperative (refer to 7.6.3, section 7).
b) Pressuration Failure
For depressurisation, it may be necessary to descend below the
en-route minimum altitude determined for normal operation in order
to cope with passenger oxygen requirements. At any time, the aircraft
gross (actual) flight path must clear vertically all the obstacles by
2000 ft.
9.1.1.3 Minimum flight altitude corrections
In order to determine the geometrical altitude of the aircraft and thus
ensure adequate obstacle clearance, corrections have to be applied
when Outside Air Temperature and/or pressure differ from standard
atmosphere.
1) Temperature correction
The calculated minimum safe altitudes/heights must be corrected
when the OAT is much lower than that predicted by the standard
atmosphere.
(1) Temperature correction at low altitude
a) Approximate correction
Increase obstacle elevation by 4% per 10°C below ISA of the
height above the elevation of the altimeter setting source or
decrease aircraft indicated altitude by 4% per 10°C below ISA
of the height above the elevation of the altimeter setting source.
b) For colder weather conditions, apply the Table 1 for more
accurate corrections.

2) Pressure correction
(1) When flying at levels with the altimeter set to 1013hPa, the minimum
safe altitude must be corrected for deviations in pressure when the
pressure is lower than the standard atmosphere (1013hPa).
(2) An appropriate correction is 28 ft per hPa below 1013hPa, Altimeter
indication readouts subtract.
(3) The Table 3 gives more accurate data. The following correction is to
be applied to the indicated altitude (reference 1013 hPa) to determine the
geometrical aircraft altitude.

Example: Given: Indicated altitude = 20000 ft, ISA, local QNH = 995
hPa
Find: Geometrical (true) altitude = 20000 - 510 = 19490 ft.
When using the QNH or QFE altimeter setting (giving altitude or height
above QFE datum respectively), a pressure correction is not required.
9.1.2 METHODS FOR THE DETERMINATION OF
AERODROME OPERATING MINIMA
(CCAR-121.563 /665/667/669/671/133(c)))
9.1.2.1 Concept
1) Operation Minimum Concept
The term minima refers to the aerodrome weather conditions and defines
the minimum visibility (horizontal and vertical) prescribed for taking off
from, or landing a civil aircraft to this particular aerodrome. During
actual operation, using the value whichever is higher:
Different concepts of minima:
(1) Aircraft performance
Aircraft performance given in the Aircraft Flight Manual defines the
lowest minima for which the aircraft has been certified.
(2) Aerodrome operating minima

Chapter 9 Flight Operation page: 9-1-7


Np:TJA-OP1
Flight Operations Manual Ver:1303-0
Rev:130709

Aerodrome operating minima noted on the aerodrome chart, established


in accordance with the national Administrator of the aerodrome. The
aerodrome is applicable to the takeoff and landing limitation. For
takeoff, minimum is presented by VIS and RVR as well as ceiling if
necessary; for non-precision approach and landing, are presented by VIS
or RVR and DA/DH according to the operation type; for non-precision
approach and landing, are presented by VIS and MDA/MDH.
(3) Operator’s minima
Operator’s minima approved by the national authority of the operator.
They are the lowest minima that the operator is allowed to use on a
specified aerodrome. They cannot be lower than the aircraft capability
and the minima published on the aerodrome chart except when
specifically approved by the national authority of the aerodrome.
These operator's minima are also called "aerodrome operating minima"
by the operator (but with a different meaning than in the previous case).
(4) Crew minima:
Crew minima are the minima that the crew is authorised to operate.
They are based upon the qualification of the flight crewmembers.
2) Other Concept
(1) Precision Approach:
Precision approach refers to the approach with guidance of localizer
and glide slope provided by instrument landing system (ILS),
microwave landing system (MLS), or precision approach radar
(PAR).
(2) Non-precision Approach:
Non-precision approach refers to the approach with only bearing
guidance provided by ground navigation facilities such as
very-high-frequency omnidirectional range (VOR), non-directional
beacon (NDB) or LOC (G/S is inoperative), but without glide slope.
Non-precision approach contains the approach of using CDFA
method and non-CDFA approach. CDFA: a kind of technology
related to stable approach, continued descent is performed during
final approach under non-precision instrument approach, no level
flight,descend to about 15m (50ft) point higher than the entrance of
landing runway or the point where the aircraft type starts level
operation from higher or equal to the altitude/height of final
approach point.
(3) Planning minima
The minima used for takeoff alternate and en-route alternate in the
flight plan. Generally planning minima of takeoff alternate are equal
to the landing minima of the airport, planning minima of en-route
alternate and destination is slightly higher than that of the airport
landing minima.

Chapter 9 Flight Operation page: 9-1-8


Np:TJA-OP1
Flight Operations Manual Ver:1303-0
Rev:130709

(4) Obstruction Clearance Altitude(OCA)/Obstruction Clearance


Height(OCH):
It means the entrance elevation of related runway or a certain
altitude or height above the aerodrome elevation for purpose of
complying with the obstruction clearance regulations.
(5) Decision Altitude(DA)/Decision Height(DH):
It means a certain altitude or height at what the re-flight should
begin if the necessary visual reference for the continued approaching
can not be set up during the precise approaching.
(6) Minimum Descent Altitude(MDA)/Minimum Descent Height
(MDH):
It means a certain altitude or height at what the descent should be
stopped if the necessary visual reference for the continued
approaching can not be set up during the imprecise approaching or
winding approaching.
(7) CDFA DDA/H: during approach of using CDFA, if landing
condition is not obtained when it descends to some altitude/height
which is above published minimum descent altitude and confirmed
by the operator, go around should be performed in order to ensure
the aircraft won’t be lower than published minimum descent
altitude/height during go around process.
(8) Ceiling:
The distance from the cloud below 6000m or the bottom of obscured
phenomenon to the ground. Obscuration phenomenon is indicated in
―scattered‖, ―cloudy‖, ―obscured‖ not in ―thin cloud‖ or‖ partial‖
(9) Visibility(VIS)
The ability expressed in units of distance, to see and identify
prominent unlighted objects by day and prominent lighted objects by
night.
(10) Runway Visual Range(RVR):
It means a maximum distance within which the pilot can see the
runway markings or runway edge lights or centerline lights with
aircraft on the runway centerline. RVR is a value calculated
through transmissometer measure corrected of air extinction factor,
vision threshold value and runway light intensity. The value of RVR
is relative to runway light intensity. When the RVR is less than the
value required for aircraft takeoff, landing, increasing the runway
light intensity to maximum (grade 5 lighting) should be considered
to improve normal aircraft operation ability.
(11) Non-precision straight-in approach:
Non-precision straight-in approach - The angle formed by final
approach track and the extension of the runway centerline is no more
than a certain value, for CAT C、D and E aircraft, is 15°, for CAT B
aircraft is 15°.

Chapter 9 Flight Operation page: 9-1-9


Np:TJA-OP1
Flight Operations Manual Ver:1303-0
Rev:130709

(12) Circling approach:


Is the extension of instrument approach, visual maneuver aligning
with runway before landing above airport when aircraft couldn’t
make a straight-in approach and landing
(13) Final Approach
The flight phase from final approach fix or outer marker (OM) to
landing.
(14) Special airport:
The airport requires the captain qualified for special airport and
special type navigation qualification for some area or routes due to
the terrain around, obstacles, approach or departure procedures and
navaids.
9.1.2.2 Aerodrome operating minima
As a general rule the aerodrome operating minima are the minima
indicated on the instrument departure and approach charts established by
the state in which the aerodrome is located. The airport minima used for
domestic airport are no less than the minima published by CAAC. The
takeoff and landing minima used for foreign airport are no less than the
minima prescribed or recommended by the state for the airport. The
takeoff and landing minima used for foreign airport should be
constituted and filed for approval according to the relevant rules in
NO.98 Directive of CAAC, referring to the airport OCA published in
AIP, combining the operation condition (aircraft type, on-board
equipment and the pilot technique and experience). Refer to Airport
Regulation for details.
1) Rules for implement of IFR flight procedure
(1) Takeoff and departure
a) The visibility or RVR is equal or better than the take-off
visibility or RVR limits. The visibility or RVR at the departure
airport are lower than the take off minima defined, the PIC
should not take off.
b) The takeoff minimum is the visibility of initial takeoff roll part.
RVR prevails in the weather conditions when the meteorological
visibility is below 800 m.
c) For the runway without RVR report, the runway visibility
visually observed or runway visibility calculated by pilots
through counting the runway edge lights or centerline lights. The
captain could determine to make a certain takeoff under adequate
visual reference and conditions permitted.
d) If the reported meteorological visibility is below the takeoff
minimum and without RVR report, can takeoff only when the
captain makes sure that visible distance along the runway
direction equal or better than the minima required.

e) The takeoff minima published in the airport charts can be used if


multi-engine aircraft performance allows the aircraft to continue
taking off and fly to takeoff alternate as per required obstacle
clearance when one engine inoperative after V1.
f) Takeoff minimums are at least equal to the landing minima if
multi-engine aircraft performance couldn’t meet the requirements
of (5), need return and landing, and require to visual contact and
avoid the obstacles in flight area with one inoperative.
(2) Approach and Landing(CCAR-121.133(a)(29))
a) No pilot should fly over the FAF or FAP and continue approach if
the reported RVR or VIS is below landing minima prescribed in the
procedure before aircraft flying over FAF or FAP. The captain
could continue approach to DA/DH or CDFA DDA/H; if the
reported RVR or VIS is below landing minima prescribed in the
procedure after flying over FAF or FAP. If no FAF specified in the
procedure, the captain shall immediately terminate approach
procedure flight and report to ATC for holding or flying to alternate
airport when the reported RVR or VIS is below landing minima
prescribed in the procedure (unless the condition of 9.1.2.2.2) (3) is
satisfied).
b) The aircraft could continue descend below DA/DH or the specific
MDA/MDH if the aircraft is on the normal descending position, the
visibility is no less than the minima prescribed in the procedure and
visual references are established as required when the aircraft
reaches the DA/DH or specific MDA/MDH for non-precision
approach and continue to the MAP.
c) During precision or non-precision approach, no matter what ever
weather report is, no visual contact acquired or visual reference
couldn’t guarantee successful approach and landing or considering
the position relative to the landing track could hazard successful
approach and landing when aircraft reaching DA/DH or CDFA
DDA/H, mandatory go-around must be exercised.
d) No captain could commence visual circling approach unless the
reported visibility is equal to or better than the minimum visibility
prescribed in the procedure. For non-precision approach, maintain
stable descent track until DDA/H, if visual reference can’t be
obtained, missed approach should be performed immediately and
approach track should be maintained until missed approach
procedure is added after MAP; for ILS approach, missed approach
procedure should be immediately started when visual reference
can’t obtained at DA/H.
e) During visual maneuver after leaving instrument approach track,

Chapter 9 Flight Operation page: 9-1-11


Np:TJA-OP1
Flight Operations Manual Ver:1303-0
Rev:130709

the runway and other markings identifying runway should be


consistently visually contacted, and the distance from the runway
should be strictly limited within the distance aligning with the
runway required by final approach and maintain MDA/MDH
prescribed. The captain can make final descent only when circling
approaching runway axle, the descent gradient used should be
equal to but no less than the normal descent gradient.
f) During approach, the approach shouldn’t be continued if severe
turbulence is encountered, or the approach is unstable due to
airborne or ground equipment failure, and missed approach should
be immediately performed.
2) Application of operation minimums (CCAR-121.563)
(1) Requirements
a) The aircraft must comply with the minima of instrument
approach procedure and IFR minima prescribed in TJA Operation
Specification when conducting instrument approach at an airport.
b) No captain could make takeoff or landing when the reported
weather is below the airport operation minima.
(2) Latest Weather Report(CCAR-121.671)
a) Ceiling and VIS in latest weather report are used to control the
takeoff, landing and instrument approach procedure under VFR and
IFR on all the runway of the airport.
b) If the latest weather report, including oral reports from the ATC
tower comprises values of VIS or RVR etc. for a specific runway of
the airport, those values are only used in the VFR and IFR and in the
takeoff, landing and instrument approach procedure of a specific
runway.
(3) Visibility Requirements for arrival and approach
When the visibility is below the minimum visibility prescribed in
instrument approach procedure, the pilot could commence final
approach of the airport instrument approach procedure (except
CAT. II and III procedure) if the airport simultaneously opens ILS
and precision approach radar which is used by the pilot. However,
only the9.1.2.5 2)(1)/continue approach conditions are met, can
aircraft approach below the approved MDA/MDH or continue
approach below DH.

9.1.2.3 Aeroplane Categories – All Weather Operations


1) Classification of aeroplanes
(1) Based on the IACO rules of aircraft category,
aircraft are divided into five categories, i.e. CAT. A, B, C, D and E
according to the aircraft approved maximum landing weights and 1.
3 times the stall speed of their landing configurations. Generally, a t
ype of aircraft can only belong to one category.
VAT = 1.3 VS or VAT = 1.23 VSIG (fly by wire)

The aeroplane categories corresponding to VAT values are listed in


the table1below:
Table 1 - A/C CAT. (Multi -engine
A/C Category VAT TJA A/C Models
A VAT < 91 kt
B 91 kt  VAT <121 kt D328
C 121 kt  VAT <141 kt E145,E190 ,A320
D 141 kt  VAT <166 kt
E 166 kt  VAT < 211 kt
This standard is the basis of establishing airport flight procedure,
airport operation minimums and landing minimums corresponding to
respective CAT aircraft approaching and landing. The category is
different with the A/C category used by ATC for assigning cruise
altitude and air corridor gate altitude.
2) Permanent change of category (maximum landing mass)
(1) With the approval of the Administrator, the Operator could use the
gross weight lower than before as fixed change to determine the
threshold speed (VAT).
An operator may impose a permanent, lower, landing mass, and use
this mass for determining the VAT if approved by the Authority.
(2)The category defined for one aircraft should be a permanent value
and would not change as function of outside conditions.
The category defined for a given aeroplane shall be a permanent
value and thus independent of the changing conditions of
day-to-day operations.
9.1.2.4 Takeoff Operation Minimums(CCAR-121.637(a), (b) ,(c) )
1) Minimums applicable to takeoff operation
(1) Standards when there is no applicable alternate airport:
When there is no applicable alternate airport, the minimum
standard for takeoff shall not lower than the minimum landing
standard in engine failure.
(2) Landing light shall be switched on during takeoff in night.:

Chapter 9 Flight Operation page: 9-1-13


Np:TJA-OP1
Flight Operations Manual Ver:1303-0
Rev:130709

The captain can decide to takeoff without turning on landing light


when there is rain, smoke or fog which will form light screen when
turn on landing light to cause visibility worse.
2) Key factors for determining the TJA flight operation minimums
The operator should take the following factors into consideration
while determining the airport operation minimums (TJA standards):
(1) Aircraft type, performance and control characteristics;
(2) Composition, theoretical level and experiences of the flight crew;
(3) The size and characteristics of runway in use.
(4) The performance and the extent of satisfying requirements of the
available visual aids and radio navigation facilities.
(5) The on-board equipment for navigation and flight control during
approach, landing and go-around.
(6) The obstacles in approaching and go-around area, and the OCH of
instrument approach;
(7) Facilities for weather forecast;
(8) Obstacles in climbing area and necessary obstacle clearance.
And considering the operation conditions(including aircraft type,
equipment onboard, technique level and flight experiences of the
flight crew), establish the takeoff and landing minimums (Company
minima)of the domestic airport, and submit it for approval according
to relevant regulations of Operator Certificate.
3) Takeoff Minimums
Airport takeoff minima are no less than the minima of landing runway
in use when one engine inoperative, unless suitable takeoff alternate
airport that meets the following conditions is available:
(CCAR-121.637(a),(b),(c))
(1) The weather and facilities of alternate airport are applicable to
landing aircraft with one engine inoperative; the aircraft must be
able to climb at least to and maintain en-route minimum safe altitude
till takeoff alternate airport.
(2) For twin-engine aircraft, the distance to the alternate airport from
departure airport is generally no more than the one hour from the
departure at cruising speed in still air with one engine inoperative ;
(3) For aircraft with three or four engines, not more than two hours from
the departure airport at normal cruising speed in still air with one
engine inoperative.
Takeoff minima are normally expressed in VIS or RVR. But takeoff
minima should include visibility and ceiling and the published departure
charts should indicate the accurate position of obstacle which must be
seen clearly to avoid obstacles during takeoff and departure. In addition,
the visibility is used as takeoff minima only if a minimum climb
gradient required is specified in the instrument departure procedure and

Chapter 9 Flight Operation page: 9-1-14


Np:TJA-OP1
Flight Operations Manual Ver:1303-0
Rev:130709

aircraft can meet safe obstacle clearance. So the different lower takeoff
minima listed below determined according to elements of visual aids
available, pilot view field, engine numbers and so on for the runway
used by multi-engine aircraft must presented in RVR/VIS values and no
less than the values in the Table 2 below:
Table2- Multi-engine turbine aircraft minima
RVR/VIS(m) (1)
Visual Aids Available
A、B、C D
Rwy edge lights +Centerline lights, with 3 RVR
reports 150 200
Rwy edge lights +Centerline lights (no RVR 200 250
report)
Rwy edge lights +Centerline markings(no RVR
report)(2) 250 300
Centerline markings, no lights (only for daytime) 500 500
The takeoff minimum visibility required is relative to field of vision of
the pilot looking forward or down (observation in the cockpit) and the
height of the eyes level.
Note: The RVR values of takeoff minimum are reported and controlled
from the following different positions for each type of aircraft:
For CAT.A aircraft, touchdown RVR,
For CAT.B, C aircraft, RVRs from touchdown zone and mid-point,
For CAT.D aircraft, RVRs from touchdown zone, mid-point and runway
stop end.
The RVR/VIS in the table is RVR/VIS from initial takeoff part of
runway, and may be replaced by the values obtained from manual
observation or visual observation by the pilot;
Runway edge lights, runway threshold lights and runway end lights are
mandatory for night operations;
The runway of takeoff minima below 400m is allowed to used, if
runway has centerline lights and precautions are provided to prevent
other aircraft, vehicles, persons and so on intruding runway, at same
time ground guidance and control and corresponding procedure and
parking apron control are provided. Takeoff minima using RVR below
400m should satisfy the following conditions:
(1) Airport low visibility procedure is in use;
(2) Runway lights must have centerline lint including operative
centerline lights with 30m interval, edge lights with 60m interval.
The interval is no more than 15m when RVR is below 200m;
(3) The flight crew has successfully completed simulator training
approved for low visibility procedure;
(4) Visual segment of 8 centerline lights with 15m interval or 5
centerline lights with 30m interval can be seen from the cockpit

Chapter 9 Flight Operation page: 9-1-15


Np:TJA-OP1
Flight Operations Manual Ver:1303-0
Rev:130709

when commencing takeoff run;


(5) All the relevant RVR report points reach the RVR values according
to the following rules:
a) Cat.B/C aircraft must have RVRs reports of all touchdown area and
2 positions of middle of runway;
b) Cat.D aircraft must have RVRs reports of all touchdown area and 3
positions of stopping end of runway;
Regulations of reducing takeoff minima by visual aids can not be used if
the ceiling/VIS is limited because takeoff requires visually avoid
obstacles.
For the runway without centerline markings and centerline lights, the
takeoff minima are no less than RVR/VIS 600m.
The values listed should be properly added on slippery runway or when
has strong cross wind.
4) Takeoff airport minimum weather criteria of TJA:
(1) Carry out the takeoff minimums published by the airport who has
published the airport takeoff minima. For the new captain, carry
out the following standards:
(2) Basic takeoff minima shall be used at airports with no published
takeoff minima: VIS 1600 meters for twin-engine aircraft.
(3) The takeoff minima shall not below the landing minima with one
engine inoperative when there is no suitable alternate airport
available. The takeoff alternate airport shall meet the weather
condition and facility requirement for landing with one engine
inoperative (see 3/4/5, 9.1.2.6), and the aircraft shall be able to
climb and maintain minimum route altitude until arriving at the
alternate airport.
(4) No matter cleared by ATC or not, the aircraft shall not take off
on IFR when the weather conditions reported by meteorological
system acknowledged by regulatory authority below the minima
stipulated in this manual. If no takeoff minima are determined for
a certain airport in this manual, the takeoff minima shall not
below that determined by CAAC (or regulatory authority of the
country) for this airport.
(5) If the takeoff weather condition is below the minima for CAT I
precision approach, takeoff is only allowed when following
conditions are met:
a) Takeoff alternate airport has been determined;
b) The forecasted ceiling and VIS of the alternate airport at
estimated time of arrival are not below the minima of the
airport.
(6) Taking off from alternate airport or airports which are not listed
in the TJA Operation Specification: When taking off from the
alternate airport, the weather condition shall at least equal to the
operating minima of the airport. When taking off from airports
that are not listed in the TJA’s Operation Specification,

Chapter 9 Flight Operation page: 9-1-16


Np:TJA-OP1
Flight Operations Manual Ver:1303-0
Rev:130709

following conditions shall be met: (CCAR-121.655)


a) The airport and relevant facilities is suitable for the operation of the
aircraft;
b) The flight crew is able to abide by the applicable restriction on the
operation of the aircraft;
c) The aircraft has been dispatched in accordance with the
dispatching rules applicable to the airport;
d) The weather condition in the airport is equal to or above takeoff
minima determined by the country of the airport.
If the airport does not have published minima, Ceiling or VIS shall
equal to or above:
240 meters /3200 meters (800 feet/2 miles), or
270 meters/2400 meters (900 feet/1.5 miles), or

RVR 1500m(5000) RVR 1800m(6000)
2) Initializing and Continue approach (CCAR-121.563)
Before commencing approach, according to the information in hand the
captain must confirm that the conditions of airport weather and the
runway in use ensure the safety of approach, landing and go-around,
considering the aircraft performance.
Determination of landing distance in flight should be based on the latest
airport conditions and weather report, it’s better that they are within 30
minutes of estimated landing time, if possible.
The principle should be applied during approach and landing:
(1) Conditions for continuing approach:
Upon reaching DH or at MDH, and at any time before the Missed
Approach Point, the pilot may continue the approach below DH or
MDH and land. In the conditions of heavy rain and heavier in
daytime, moderate rain and heavier at night, the crew is forbidden to
conduct approach and landing.
a) The aircraft is continuously in a position from which a descent to
a landing on the intended runway can be made at a normal rate of

Chapter 9 Flight Operation page: 9-1-17


Np:TJA-OP1
Flight Operations Manual Ver:1303-0
Rev:130709

descent using normal maneuvers, and where that descent rate will
allow touchdown to occur within the touchdown zone of the
runway of intended landing;
b) The visibility is no less than the visibility stipulated in the
standard instrument approach procedure being used. When
visibility is below 800m, no landing minima of airport operation
should be approved, unless the RVR information is provided to
the aircraft landing operation.
c) Except for Category II or Category III approaches (where any
necessary visual reference requirements are specified by
authorization of the Administrator):
①The approach light system, except that the pilot may not descend
below 30m(100ft) above the touchdown zone elevation using the
approach lights as a reference unless the red terminating bars or the red
side row bars are also distinctly visible and identifiable;
②Runway threshold
③Runway threshold markings;
④Runway threshold lights;
⑤Runway end Identifier lights;
⑥Precision Approach Path Indicator (PAPI);
⑦Touchdown zone or touchdown zone markings;
⑧Touchdown zone lights;
⑨Runway or runway markings;
⑩Runway lights
d) When using precision approach procedure with visual descent
point, aircraft reach the visual descent point, and can land on the
runway with normal procedure or descent rate.
(2) Conditions for Balked Arrival and Continuing Approach
When the latest weather condition is below stipulated minimums:
a) Continue approaching to fly over Initial Approach Fix (IAF) is not
allowed;
b) Initiating final approach phase of the instrument approach
procedure is not allowed at airport that does not use Final
Approach Fix (FAF);
c) If a pilot has begun the final approach segment of an instrument
approach procedure the pilot may continue the approach to DH or
MDH.
If the airport doesn’t provide RVR data, visibility data could be
changed into RVR data referring to the Table 6.

Chapter 9 Flight Operation page: 9-1-18


Np:TJA-OP1

For RVR minimums of touchdown zone, middle section and stop


section, refers to minimums of each airport.
3) Non-precision straight in approach
Non-ILS (including non-precision) approach may be conducted if
cleared by ATC.
(1) Minimum Descent Height (MDH)
Non-precision straight-in approach is applicable to the following
approaches: LOC only (LLZ),VOR,VOR/DME,NDB and
NDB/DME.
The MDH of non-precision straight-in approach are no less than the
followings, which is higher:
a) The obstacle clearance corresponding to the aircraft category
b) The corresponding system minima in Table 3
c) Any minima prescribed by the Administrator
(2) System minima
a) The minimums for non-precision approach includes: MDA, VIS
and ceiling. The determination of the value of MDA is mainly
based on OCH determined by instrument approach procedure.
Normally we abide by the following the regulation---Relevant
MDA published in the approach chart.
The system minima (weather conditions function of the approach
aid) for "Non Precision Approach" shall not be lower than the
Minimum Descent Height (MDH) value given in table 3 below:

Chapter 9 Flight Operation page: 9-1-19

VOR/withFAF 75(250)
VOR/withoutFAF 90(300)
NDB/with FAF 75(250)
NDB/withoutFAF 90(300)
Generally, we follow the MDH published in approach charts (the
MDH values published should be rounded to 5m).Determination of
MDA/MDH should be based on the OCA/OCH decided by
instrument approach procedure. Considering the factors of aircraft
performance, on-board equipment, flight crew technique level the
Operator may increase margin when determining MDA/MDH
based on OCH. (CCAR-98/NO.24)
b) Following conditions shall be met to establish straight approach:
(CCAR-98/NO.28)
①The angle formed by final approach track and the extension of the
runway centerline is no more than 15°(for CAT A/B no more
than 30°), and the distance from intersection to runway threshold
is not less than 1400 meters.
② If the final approach track does not cross the extension of the
runway centerline, the deviation of final approach track from the
runway centerline shall not exceed 150 meters at point 1400
meters to the runway threshold.
③ The descending gradient of CAT C、D and E aircraft in the final
approach does not exceed 6.5%;
④The distance from the navigation facilities to runway threshold
meet the minimum distance required by realignment of the
approach track after turning at Final Approach Fix (FAF).
(3) Visual reference
The pilot shall acquire visual reference in time in order to descend
from MDA and maneuver to the minimum visibility required by
landing. The minimum visibility is subject to aircraft category,
MDA, visual aids available and approach type. For non-precision
approach, visual reference shall include touchdown zone if no
approach light. With approach lights, spotting touchdown zone at
MDA is not required, but except bar light or threshold lights, 7

successive approach lights, runway lights or combination of both


should be seen visual reference.
No one is allowed to continue approach till below MDA unless the
pilot could identify one of the following visual references
a) Approach lights system consists of:
b) Runway threshold markings, lights Identifier lights
c) Precision Approach Path Indicator (PAPI)
d) Touchdown zone or touchdown zone markings
e) Runway edge lights
f) Other visual references approved the Administrator
(4) Required Runway Visual Range
a) The minimum RVR for a non-precision approach depends on the
MDH and on the approach lighting and runway lighting/marking
available as shown in tables 4, 5

require that the visual approach slope guidance (e.g. PAPI) is
visible from the MDH.
② The RVR values in the above tables are either reported RVR, or
met visibility converted to RVR as in table 5 below.
③ Visibility shall be used if RVR is above 1500m.

* Constant descent profile should be used on last final of non-precision
approach.
(5) CDFA Approach
CDFA should be preferentially used as the standard method of
non-precision approach procedure if the conditions are satisfied.
Compared with approach technology of large gradient descent (level
flight after quick descent) that the aircraft quickly descend before
reaching minimum descent altitude/height, CDFA technology contains
the following advantages:
a) To reduce safety risk by using the concept and SOP of stable
approach;
b) To improve situational awareness of pilots and reduce workload;
c) To reduce the time of low altitude level flight at the status of
maximum thrust, improve fuel efficiency and reduce noise;
d) Approach operation procedure is similar to precision approach and
category precision approach, including maneuvering flight of missed
approach;

Chapter 9 Flight Operation page: 9-1-23


Np:TJA-OP1
Flight Operations Manual Ver:1303-0
Rev:130709

e) It can integrate with baro-VNAV implementation procedure;


f) To decrease the possibility that final approach leg is lower than
obstacle clearance margin;
g) Aircraft configuration is easier for pilots to obtain required visual
reference during the flight at published descent gradient or gliding
angle.
(6) Non-precision approach minimum operation standard
Airport operation minimum standard of the operator should be above the
standard which is approved by the CCAC during non-precision
approach, for aircrafts of category C and D, DDA should be chart
standard MDA+100ft which is published by the CAAC when CDFA is
performed, the standard is identical for day and night. Non-precision
approach minimum VIS should increase 400m on the basis of chart
standard which is published by the CAAC when CDFA is not
performed.
The aircraft can’t be released if night approach light is inoperative.
Approach lights includes the composition of several lights, it can’t be
released if one is inoperative or missed.
4) CAT. I Precision Approach (CCAR-98/NO.36-44)
(1) CAT I Precision Approach
A Category I operation is a precision instrument approach and
landing using ILS, and PAR with a minimum visibility 800 m or
above, runway visual range (RVR) not less than 550 metres, and a
decision height (DH) not lower than 60 m.
The DH of Category I approach shall be not less than the highest of
DA/DH, RVR or visibility.
For the runway with RVR, Precision Approach minimums are
presented in DA/DH, RVR.
a) The DH should be calculated using OCH determined in Visual
and Instrument Flight Procedure Design. The DH shall be not
less than the highest of:
① the minimum altitude /DH stated in the Aircraft Flight Manual
(AFM) ;
② the minimum altitude/height to which the precision approach aid can
be used without the required visual reference;
③ OCH;
④ DH allowed to be used by flight crew;
⑤ 60 m;

b) For the runway with up and down current in approach area due to
the effect of the terrain around the airport, the DH determined by
OCH shall be added the following margins:
① For propeller-driven aircraft, increase margin by 15m;
② For turbine-driven aircraft, increase margin by 30m;
c) DH is the height from the main gears to the surface of threshold in
precision approach. The distance from G/S antenna of certain
large aircraft to the main gear is more than 5.8m(19ft) , when
approaching on the runway with ILS reference height (ILS G/S
height at the threshold) less than 15m, the risk of touchdown
before the runway will increase, so the DH minimum value of
aircraft of this type is 90m.
d) When approaching with ILS offset course, aircraft will deviate the
extension of the runway centerline, so the DH determined should
enable the aircraft to complete maneuver of aligning with the
runway. DH for approach with ILS offset course shall be no less
than 75m.
(2) TJA Cat.I precision approach Minima:
ILS approach may be conducted if cleared by ATC.TJA Cat.I
precision approach Minima include: DH and RVR or VIS. The value
of DH is determined by the following items:
a) Cat.I operation minima DH:60m(200ft);
b) The minimum altitude defined to ensure safe approach and landing
with one engine inoperative in Aircraft Flight Manual.
c) DH allowed for flight crew.
d) Cat.I precision approach is conducted strictly complying to DH and
VIS or RVR minima:
e) When RVR of minima is less than 800 meters (2500 feet) in CAT I
precision approach, following conditions shall be met:
① The on-board equipments is equal to those of CAT II ( except
Radio Altimeter at low altitude and A/T) and the aircraft is
airworthiness for CAT I.
② The PIC has more than 100 hours’ experienced on the operated
type of aircraft. Both the PIC and co-pilot have had the ground

Chapter 9 Flight Operation page: 9-1-25


Np:TJA-OP1
Flight Operations Manual Ver:1303-0
Rev:130709

class training on CAT II operation.


③ The PIC has conducted approach and landing on these minima
on full motion simulator of the operated aircraft type, and passed
check ride.
(3) Visual Reference
The minimum weather condition for pilot acquiring visual reference
at MDA or MDH is defined as visibility or RVR. The distance
required for pilot to see (i.e. required oblique distance) decides the
height of the eyes level, the observation down angle () and ground
visual aids type. The larger the aircraft is, the higher DH is, e.g. the
higher the distance from the pilot eyes to the ground, the longer the
oblique distance is. Conversely the bigger the observation down
angle is, the longer the approach light system is, the shorter the
oblique distance is. For CAT.I precision approach, visual reference
shall include bar light or threshold lights, at least 6 successive
approach lights/ runway lights.
No pilot may continue a precision approach Cat I below the DH
unless at least one of the following visual references for the intended
runway is distinctly visible to, and identifiable by the pilot:
a) components of the approach lighting system;
b) threshold, or its markings, lights or identification lights;
c) visual glide slope indicator(s)(PAPI);
d) touchdown zone, zone markings or zone lights; or
e) The runway edge lights.
(4) RVR
a) Precision approach runway equipped with 3 RVRs calculated by
transmissometer.CAT.I precision approach use RVR of touchdown
zone(TDZ)as standard, 2 RVRs calculated and reported by
transmissometer in mid-point of runway and stop end as reference.
b) DH of CAT.I precision approach is OCH required by procedure or
DH used for pilots conducting approach, or 60m, which is higher.
Minimum RVR or VIS values can be determined basing on different
visual aids in the Table 7.
c) If DH more than 75 less than 90m, the values of RVR/VIS in Table 7
should be added 100m; If DH is 90 or above, the values of RVR/VIS in
Table 7 should be added 200m. But the minimum visibility of runway
without approach light is the distance between the points where aircraft
descend to DH to runway threshold.

is used to provide distance data equivalent to that provided by a
marker, the accuracy of DME is required to be 0.5NM (for OM)
and 0.2NM (for MM). The airborne DME equipment shall
accordingly have the capability for distinguishing accuracy.
②The RVR in the above table indicates TDZ RVR and the visibility
indicates the landing direction visibility.
③ The precision approach lighting system refers to category I
precision approach lighting system specified in ICAO Annex 14.
The approach centerline lights extend 900m beyond runway
threshold outside of the runway. But for determining minimums,
the approach centerline may be as long as 740m or even longer, and
it may be considered as the full length. The length of the centerline
lights of simplified high-intensity approach lighting system shall be
no less than 420m.
④ The data in the table can only be used for 3 degrees glide slope. So
the path indication can be displayed on the precision approach path
indicator (PAPI) before reaching at DH.

5) Visual Maneuvers
(1) Visual Approach
The flight crew must consistently keep visual contact as required
to locate the aircraft position relatively to the airport. The aircraft
must completely stabilize at approach speed or final landing
configuration before descending to 500ft above the airport
elevation. No captain can conduct visual approaches, unless the
pilot-in-command has satisfactorily completed an approved training
program for visual approaches. In addition, the certificate holder
shall not conduct a visual approach unless the approach is
conducted to an airport with an approved instrument approach
procedure for that airport, and all of the following conditions are
met:
a) The flight remains under instrument flight rules and is authorized
by ATC to conduct a contact approach.
b) The reported visibility/RVR for the runway of intended landing
is at or above the authorized IFR minimum for the Category I
nonprecision approach established for that runway or 1600m(1
statue mile) (RVR 1500m (5000 feet)), whichever is higher.
c) The flight is operating clear of clouds and can remain clear of
clouds throughout the contact approach. The flight visibility
must be sufficient for the pilot to see and avoid all obstacles and
safely maneuver the aircraft to the landing runway using external
visual references.
d) The flight does not descend below the MEA/MSA, MVA, or the
FAF altitude, as appropriate, until:
① The flight is established on the instrument approach procedure,
operating below the reported ceiling, and the pilot has identified
sufficient prominent landmarks to safely navigate the aircraft to
the airport, or
② The flight is conducted below the cloud ceiling, and the airport
is in sight, and the pilot can maintain visual contact with the
airport throughout the maneuver.
③ The flight does not descend below the highest circling MDA
prescribed for the runway of intended landing until the aircraft
is in a position from which a descent to touchdown, within the
touchdown zone, can be made at a normal rate of descent
using normal maneuvers.
(2) Circling Approach
Circling approach refers to visual flight phase after aircraft finish
instrument approach, pilot should consistently see the runway
threshold or approach lights or other markings identifying runway,

Chapter 9 Flight Operation page: 9-1-28


Np:TJA-OP1
Flight Operations Manual Ver:1303-0
Rev:130709

maintain flying within visual circling area, keep aircraft on the


landing position for opposite or another runway.
Circling Approach Minimums
a) Minimums for circling approach include two factors: MDA, VIS and
ceiling. Minimums for circling approach shall not below the
straight-in approach minimums of the airport. If the minimums does
below, circling approach use the OCA/H of straight-in approach.
b) Visual circling approach is applicable for conditions that the angle
formed by final approach track and the extension of the runway
centerline is more than 15 degrees(for CAT A、B aircraft, more than
30°), or the descending gradient is more than 6.5%;
c) Implementation of visual circling approach should strictly abide by
the minima of visual circling approach of each airport.
Visual circling approach is limited within the side where the terrain is
relatively lower when terrain or obstacles on one side of runway are
of high elevation. In this case, the limitation to visual circling
approach should be indicated on the approach charts, for example‖
Visual circling approach only be conducted on _ side of runway‖
Visual flight phase of instrument approach shall has adequate ground
characteristics to ensure the pilot correctly and immediately judges
the aircraft position relative to the landing track, also provide the pilot
with factors used as lateral control, such as approach lights and/or
runway lights. Visual reference of circling approach means that pilot
should consistently see the ground and enable the pilot to determine
the aircraft position relative to the airport and keep the aircraft in the
visual circling area. Visual circling approach minima shall be no less
than the minima of airport straight-in approach. Visual circling
approach minimum ceiling is equal to or less than the value of MDA,
and is rounded to10m.
For MDA and VIS required by Visual circling approach, see Table 8.

Note:
① The values listed in the Table are generally acceptable minima.
Don’t mix them with guide line in Visual and Instrument Flight
Procedure Design.
② When MDA of visual circling minima for each aircraft type are
above the values listed in the Table below, obtain the
minimum visibility based on the higher MDH in Table 5.
③ When RVR is below 800m, visual approach is not allowed.
d) Company circling minimums
① At least 300 meters (1,000 feet) of reported ceiling and at least
4800 meters (3 miles) of visibility, or
② The reported weather is at least at the published circling approach
landing minimums. Take the higher value between ① and ②.
③ Tianjin Airlines does not operate reversal procedures.
6) Operation Minimums for Night Flight
At least runway edge lights or runway centerline lights and
runway end lights shall be available for takeoff and landing at night.
The minima of takeoff and landing at night are equal to the published
airport minima.
(1) To perform a non-precision approach at night on a runway, this
runway must be equipped with normal runway lights, threshold
lights, runway end lights and runway centerline lights to ensure safe
obstacle clearance, unless the runway has Visual Approach Slope
Indication System(VASIS) or Precision Approach Path Indicator
(PAPI) , otherwise the obstacles within 2km of approach area are
installed with obstacle lights. According to Company policy, the
approach should be stopped if the approach lights are inoperative.
(2) Runway of circling approach at nighttime must has normal runway
lights, threshold lights, runway end lights and runway centerline

Chapter 9 Flight Operation page: 9-1-30


Np:TJA-OP1
Flight Operations Manual Ver:1303-0
Rev:130709

lights to ensure safe obstacle clearance, and the obstacles within 2km of
approach area are equipped with obstacle lights, otherwise has
Visual Approach Slope Indication System (VASIS) or Precision
Approach Path Indicator (PAPI). Visual circling approach minima is
the same as the minima in daytime, but no less than the minima of
straight-in approach at nighttime;
(3) Cat. I precision approach must use Category I precision
approach lighting system stipulated by Annex14 of ICAO
Convention, whereby runway edge lights, runway threshold lights, ru
nway end lights and runway markings are all available, unless the
runway is equipped with Visual Approach Slope Indication system
(VASI)or Precision Approach Path Indication system(PAPI),
otherwise the obstacles in the approach area within 2000m from the
runway threshold shall be installed with obstacle lights.
7) Effect of failed or degraded ground navaids
These instructions are intended for pre-flight and pre-approach. It is
not expected however that the captain would consult such
instructions after passing the outer marker or equivalent position. If
ground aids failure is announced on final approach, the approach
could be continued at the captain's discretion. If, however, failures
are announced before final, their effect on the approach should be
considered as described in table 9, and the approach may have to be
stopped to allow review.
Conditions applicable to the table 9:
(1) Multiple failures of runway lights other than indicated in table 9 are
not acceptable.
(2) Deficiencies of approach and runway lights are treated separately.
(3) Category II or III operations - A combination of deficiencies in
runway lights and RVR assessment equipment is not allowed.
(4) Failures other than ILS affect RVR only and not DH.
(5)"No DH" operations - An operator should ensure that, for aircraft
authorised to conduct "no DH" operations with the lowest RVR
limitations, the following applies in addition to the content of the
table 9.
(6) RVR: At least one RVR value must be available at the airport
(7) Runway lights:
a) No runway edge lights, or no centre lights - Day only min RVR
200 m
b) No TDZ lights - No restrictions
c) No standby power to runway lights - day only RVR 200 m

(2)When the following conditions occur, missed approach procedure
must be performed:
a) The operation minimum of the kind of instrument approach
being performed can not be fulfilled due to any onboard
equipment failure;
b) A failure occurs on any minimum equipment required by the
authority that will affect approach;
c ) During instrument approach, before MDA/DH, stalbilized
approach is no longer possible due to two primary
navigation/indication instruments disagree/unreliable;

9.1.2.6 Planning minima(CCAR-121.639/643(a),(b)/133(a)(6))


1) Application of minimums for alternate airport
(1) Determination of operating minimums for alternate airport can
provide extra margin for weather deterioration during the flight.
(2) Minimums for alternate airport are only applicable to pre-takeoff
flight plan phase. When diverting to an alternate airport during flight,
this airport becomes the new destination airport, and the approach and
landing minimums shall comply with the published or prescribed
minimums of the airport.
2) Principle of selecting alternate airport
Usable airport refers to the certificated airport applicable to operation
of all aircraft type or the airports which are regarded meet equivalent
safe requirement (The meteorological conditions satisfy requirement
for establishing approach at estimated time, runway, aircraft
capabilities and flight crew qualifications)
(1) Selecting of Departure Airport
If the weather conditions at the airport of takeoff are below the
landing minimums in the certificate holder's operations specifications
for that airport, no person may dispatch or release an aircraft from that
airport unless the dispatch or flight release specifies an alternate
airport located within the following distances from the airport of
takeoff:
a) Aircraft having two engines. Not more than one hour from the
departure airport at normal cruising speed in still air with one
engine inoperative. Aircraft having three or more engines. Not
more than two hours from the departure airport at normal cruising
speed in still air with one engine inoperative.
b) The weather condition of the airport at arrival is equal to or above
the minimum weather condition for alternative airport stipulated in
this manual.
c) Before dispatch or release the aircraft, each necessary takeoff
alternate should be listed in the Dispatch or Flight Release Sheet.
(2) The valid period of en-route alternate aerodrome weather report or
forecast is from one hour before the earliest Estimated Time
Arrival (ETA) to one hour after the latest Estimated Time Arrival
(ETA) when aircraft arrives at the airport. The earliest Estimated
Time Arrival (ETA) of alternate aerodrome is the takeoff time plus
the time flying to the first Equal Time Point (ETPl) along the route

Chapter 9 Flight Operation page: 9-1-34


Np:TJA-OP1
Flight Operations Manual Ver:1303-0
Rev:130709

plus the time flying from the first (ETPl) to the alternate aerodrome;
The latest Estimated Time Arrival (ETA) of alternate aerodrome is
the takeoff time plus the time flying to the second Equal Time
Point (ETP2) along the route plus the time flying from the second
Equal Time Point (ETP2) to the alternate aerodrome;
(3) Selecting of destination Airport (CCAR – 121.639)
a) Alternate airport for destination: IFR or over-the-top: Domestic
operations.
No person may dispatch an airplane under IFR or over-the-top unless
he lists at least one alternate airport for each destination airport in the
dispatch release. When the weather conditions forecast for the
destination and first alternate airport are marginal at least one
additional alternate must be designated. However, no alternate airport
is required if for at least 1 hour before and 1 hour after the estimated
time of arrival at the destination airport the appropriate weather
reports or forecasts, or any combination of them, indicate:
① At least 1,500 feet above the lowest circling MDA, if a circling
approach is required and authorized for that airport; or b) At least 450
m (1,500 feet) above the lowest published instrument approach
minimum or 600 m (2,000 feet) above the airport elevation,
whichever is greater; and
② The visibility at that airport will be at least 4800 m (3 miles), or
3200 m (2 miles) more than the lowest applicable visibility minimums,
whichever is greater, for the instrument approach procedures to be
used at the destination airport; or
③ The weather conditions at the alternate airport must meet the
requirements of CCAR121.643.
b) Alternate airport for destination: Supplemental operations.
① Each person releasing an aircraft for operation under IFR shall
list at least one alternate airport for each destination airport in the
flight release.
② For the purposes of paragraph a) of this section, the weather
requirements at the alternate airport must meet the requirements
of the certificate holder's operations specifications.
③ No person may release a flight unless he lists each required
alternate airport in the flight release.
3) Weather condition for selected alternate airport(CCAR-121.643/651)
For alternates listed on the dispatch or release, a weather report or

Chapter 9 Flight Operation page: 9-1-35


Np:TJA-OP1
Flight Operations Manual Ver:1303-0
Rev:130709

forecast, or a combination of the above must be provided. The weather


at the alternate should not below the weather minima required by the
Company Ops Specs at the time the aircraft reaches this alternate.
Otherwise, the flight dispatcher and the captain should stop the aircraft
from continuing to the dispatched or released airport.
(1) For airports with only one approach facility (precision or
non-precision) and procedure, the minimum ceiling at the alternate
airport is approved CAT I DH or non-precision approach MDH added
by 120 m, and VIS is added by1600 m. Note: If there is only one
navigation facility such as VOR/DME, although VOR/DME provides
one approach procedure for each runway end, it is still considered to be
one approach system.
(2) For airports with two navigation facilities and both facilities can
provide non-precision or precision approach procedure for different
runways, the minimum ceiling at the alternate airport is the MDH or
DH for different runways at this airport (whichever is higher) added
by 60 m, and the visibility is the landing minima for different
runways (whichever is higher) added by 800 m. For diversion
minima, visibility is more critical than ceiling.
Note: Different runways may refer to two directions of the same
runway.
(3) For one runway equipped with one precision approach facility
and one or two non-precision approach facilities, it can be
considered as one precision approach facility only (the minima for
precision approach is normally lower), and the minima ceiling is
DH added by 120 m and visibility is added by 1600 m. It can also
be considered as two approach facilities and approaches (one
precision and one or two non-precisions, take note of the different
runway directions), the minimum ceiling is the DH or MDH
(whichever is higher) added by 60 m, and the visibility is the
higher one added by 800 m.
Note: When considering one approach facility only or two for diversion,
it is recommended to take the more preferable result from the
calculated diversion minima. Diversion minima for two
non-precision approach facilities and two precision approach
facilities are defined respectively in CCAR—121FS Articles
121.643 (b)(2) and (b) (3). As a matter of fact, one
precision approach facility can be combined with one
non-precision approach facility on the other runway for two
facilities. In this case, DH or MDH (whichever is higher) added

Chapter 9 Flight Operation page: 9-1-36


Np:TJA-OP1
Flight Operations Manual Ver:1303-0
Rev:130709

by 60 m will be the diversion minimum ceiling and the higher


visibility added by 800 m will be the diversion minimum
visibility.
(4) Diversion minima at the alternate airport are used for dispatching.
When the aircraft has to divert to an alternate airport, the landing
minima at this airport can be used for approach and landing,
regardless of the diversion minima.
9.1.2.7 Special Airports
1) Special Airport Definition:
The special airport refers to the airport of which the flight
environment in airport region is complex, the airport support
conditions is insufficient , needs specially adopt counter measures to
guarantee flight safety. Airports with some specific characteristics
requiring to be reminded in form of words and figures instead of
adopting special measures are not considered as special airports.
2) Special Airport Classification Factors:
(1) The airport is located at places such as mountain valley,
mountainside, mountaintop or summit with poor obstruction
clearance;
(2) The airport with poor local meteorological conditions (for
example: windshear, turbulent airstream and so on), or cloud
ceiling and visibility change rapidly (for example: Advection
fog etc.);
(3) The non-standard approach landing procedure and takeoff
departure procedure due to the terrain, the obstacle or other
reasons cause, (for example: circling approach, landing after
descending via low approach, the instrument guidance system
(IGS) , the localizer offset approach and so on);
(4) Only landing excluding takeoff is applicable at certain runway
direction due to the terrain, the obstacle limit, so the one engine
failure during go-around emergency procedure or one engine
failure DA/DH, MDA/MDH must be formulated;
(5) The airport navigation facility is deficient with serious
navigation signal camouflage, inaccurate navigation, unstable
indication; or the airport visual navigation aid implementation is
deficient;
(6) Very high elevation airport (airport elevation is 2438 (8000 feet)
meter or above).
(7) Abnormality, like high latitude, unusual magnetic variation and so on.
(8) The overseas airport, air traffic control rules and regulations and the
procedure are not sound, potential security hazard exits.
(9) For evaluation of special airport classification, refer to the Flight

Refer to 2.1.2.3
5) Dispatch release requirement for captain qualification
Except the conditions in 9.1.2.7 6), flight dispatcher shall not dispatch
aircraft fly to or departure from airport which require special airport
qualification for flight crew, and the PIC shall not accept the assignment
unless over the past 12 calendar month:
(1) The PIC or SIC has operating experiences as flight crew member in this
airport (including takeoff or landing), or
(2) The PIC has been trained on Airport Illustration Equipment acknowledged
by Regulatory Authority or simulator, and has got the required qualification.
6) Captain qualification requirement for the flight between two airport station

complex approach procedure or departure procedure, the Authorities can

Chapter 9 Flight Operation page: 9-1-38


Np:TJA-OP1
Flight Operations Manual Ver:1303-0
Rev:130709

define some airports as special airports, require the captain possesses the
special airport qualification, and bring forward special type navigation
qualification requirement for some areas or some routes.
The certificate holder should guarantee that the pilot as the captain in
operation flying to or from a special airport has flown to the airport as a flight
crew member (including takeoff and landing) or received training using the
airport terrain demonstration device or a flight simulator and acquired
qualification in 12 calendar months. However no requirement for the captain
when flying into the airport (including takeoff and landing) if the ceiling of
the airport is at least higher than the MEA, MOCA, or initial approach
altitude defined by the airport instrument approach procedure plus
300m(1000ft), and the airport visibility is at least 4800m (3 miles).Pilot who

9.1.3.1 Fuel Policy
1) General
(1) In order to ensure the flight safety and reduce the fuel cost, TJA stipulates
the fuel and oil policy. When dispatch release the aircraft, the flight
dispatcher and PIC should jointly determine the actual fuel of the flight in
accordance with TJA fuel & oil policy, and consider the complex situation
of weather, air traffic flow, departure airport, destination airport, alternate
airport and the aircraft conditions etc.
(2) The fuel items described in this policy are the necessary items of the flight
approved by TJA. When there is a discrepancy between the flight
dispatcher and the PIC on departure fuel quality, the PIC retains the
authority to make final decisions, but is not allowed to reduce the items
stipulated in this policy. The flight crew is required to check and record
OFP, fuel status and time passing the waypoint.
(3) Although possible conditions has been considered in the policy making
process, however one of the most fundamental rule is that the residual fuel
of a aircraft at the completion of landing rollout shall not less than the
minimum fuel.

9.1.4.3 Principles of Weight and Balance


(CCAR-121.133(a(16))/679/697/699)
In the weight and balance control program of TJA, the real weight
procedure or the approved average weight procedures for the passengers,
aircrews and baggage are adopted.
Use actual weight or approved average baggage weight procedure.
The weight of every aircraft should be determined based upon the
weight marked in the weight and balance control program or the weight
determined by the aircraft weighing procedure stated in the Engineering
Manual of TJA.
1) Weight Limitations
During all kinds of weight calculations, must keep them within the
weight limitation according to the Flight Manual of individual aircraft.
(1) Maximum takeoff weight shall not exceed the lowest weight of
the following: a) The certificated maximum takeoff limitation weight
limited by structure limitations.
b)The maximum permissible takeoff weight of the runway to be used (in
cluding runway pressure altitude and slope along with amendments to w
ind and temperature conditions when taking off).
c)The maximum takeoff weight that may conform to the applicable rout
e performance limitations, taking into consideration fuel and oil consum
ptions.
d)The maximum takeoff weight that conforms to the zero fuel weight li
mitations of the authorized maximum design, taking into consideration f
uel and oil consumptions.
e)The maximum takeoff weight that may conform to the landing perfor
mance limitations on arrival at the destination airport, taking into consid
eration fuel and oil consumptions.
(2)At the same time, the aircraft estimated landing weight shall not exce
ed the minimum value of the following landing limitations:
a)Considerations shall be taken of the situations with regard to runway h
eight, slope, wind, temperature and runway surface at the estimated time
of arrival on the basis of the maximum runway restricted weight of the r
unway to be used;
b)The maximum limited approach climb (go around) weight , including
corrections for altitude and temperature;
c)Validated structure restricted weight;
(3) The actual landing weight of aircraft
a)The actual landing weight of aircraft shall not exceed the maximum st
ructure restricted weight or the landing restricted weight except in emer
gency

Chapter 9 Flight Operation page: 9-1-53


Np:TJA-OP1
Flight Operations Manual Ver:1303-0
Rev:130709

b)Landing shall not exceed the maximum cross wind or tail wind limitat
ions.
c)When the total weight of aircraft exceeds the weight of any structural
or landing restricted weight as a result of favorable en-route wind or so
me other factors upon arrival at destination airport, fuel jettisoning or ho
lding over airport is mandatory so as to reduce the aircraft weight and to
keep the actual landing weight within the restricted limits.
2) Limitation of Center of Gravity
(1)Furthermore, the center of gravity of the aircraft shall be
kept within the restricted limits:
(2)The purser shall confirm that the passengers are seated in
accordance with the numbers as indicated on their boarding passes in co
nformity with the requirements of the weight and balance department for
passenger seating arrangement;
(3)The uploading work should be done in accordance with the loading
plan. And if there are some changes, the table will be modified while the
pilot-in-command informed. The change can not go beyond the balance
limit.

9.1.4.4 Weight and Balance Control (CCAR-121.133(a)(16)) (b)(6))
1) Control Principles
The following principles should be obeyed in order to take control of the
weight and balance and ensure that the load of the aircraft will not
exceed the maximum take-off weight and the maximum landing weight,
maintaining the center of gravity within the limits.
(1) Adopt the real weight or the approved standard(average) weight
of passengers and aircrew members;
(2) Adopt the real weight or the approved standard (average) weight
of baggage;
(3) Figure out the weight and balance based upon the real weight of
passengers and baggage during the charter flight or other special
services;
(4) The weight of every aircraft must be determined based upon the
weight marked in the weight and balance control program or the weight
determined by the aircraft weighing procedure stated in the
Maintenance Engineering Manual of TJA;
(5) The approved weight and balance control system should
comply with the airworthiness requirements and the operation limit;
(6) TJA will often review the business range and standards for the
weight and balance according to ―Weight and balance control,Chapter
4, Flight Dispatch Manual” approved by the CAAC.
2) Weighing of the aircraft
The aircrafts belonged to the TJA should be weighed periodically in
order to take control of the weight and balance.
(1) The work will be done in line with the procedures stipulated in the
Aircraft Maintenance Scenario, the Maintenance Management Manual
and the Engineering Manual;
(2) The Maintenance Engineering Department should submit the
weighing report in written form to the related units.
3) Determination of Passengers and Cargo Weight
(1) The calculation for the weight and balance table will adopt the

Chapter 9 Flight Operation page: 9-1-55


Np:TJA-OP1
Flight Operations Manual Ver:1303-0
Rev:130709

standard weights for avoidance of weighing every passenger or baggage.


The standard weights for the passengers and carry-on baggage are as
follows:
Passenger Adult Child Infant Flight crew
member
Domestic route standard
weight (kg) 72 36 10 77
Charter and special Actual Actual Actual Actual
flight
(2) If the real weights of the passengers and the baggage have been
known or the average weight is definitely different from the standard
weight listed in the table above, some relevant adjustment should be
made.
(3) If the registered baggage which has passed the examination is not
weighed, its weight can be figured out according to the standard weight
listed in the table below:
Flight type All passengers
Normal flight 10kg
Charter and special flight Actual weight
4) Verification of the Weight and Balance Sheet
The pilot-in-command will check up the manifest. Notice:
(1) The accuracy of the indexes for the operational empty weight and
the center of gravity;
(2) The passenger numbers and the distribution;
(3) The uploading work based upon the manifest;
(4) The actual total fuel weight and the fuel quality.
5) Standard of Last minute Change
(1) If the load volume needs to be changed at the last minute, the
responsible load master for this flight should modify the original
load sheet. The Captain and the load master should confirm that
the change is not beyond the weight and balance limi and does not
exceed the allowance for change. It can also be changed by other
load master and the captain or pilots authorized by the captain.
Maximum allowance for last minute change to the load sheet:
a) DONIER-328:+/-1 person,+/-72 KG
b)E145: +/-1 person,+/-72 KG
c)ERJ190:+/-3 persons, +/-216 KG
d)A320: +/- 5 persons, +/- 360 KG
(2) If the change will affect the center of gravity, the
pilot-in-command can ask the weight and balance unit to re-draft a
new table and ensure the modified one can meet the performance
requirements of the aircraft.

Chapter 9 Flight Operation page: 9-1-56


Np:TJA-OP1
Flight Operations Manual Ver:1303-0
Rev:130709

6) Doubts on the Weight and Balance and Relevant Solutions


Before takeoff: The pilot-in-command should check up the load and
sign his name on the weight and balance table as recognition of its
accuracy. Before signing, if the weight of the aircraft has been beyond
the limit, the pilot-in-command should coordinate with the dispatcher
and the Weight and Balance unit and take some necessary measures to
obtain a qualified data within the limit. Otherwise, nobody can dispatch
the flight.
(1) Change of the fuel quantity
If the aircrew fills much more fuel due to the weather or other factors, it
may cause the overweight of the aircraft. While fulfilling the formalities,
the aircrew should give the reasons to the dispatchers who should
immediately inform the Weight and Balance Unit after the consultation.
The unit will re-calculate the real take-off weight and the estimated
landing weight based upon the new fuel volume. If the change has been
beyond the weight and balance limit, the unit should inform the Cargo
Department to discharge some load to ensure that the weight and the
center of gravity of the aircraft are within the limit.
(2) Before Landing
If the aircrew members have some questions on the gross weight or the
load, they should inform the operation control centre (and its agencies)
and ask them to do the following work:
a) The dispatcher informs the destination aerodrome at once;
b) The destination aerodrome should check up the gross
weight and the load volume of the approaching aircraft carefully and
inform the related service unit on the ramp. Then it should send the
summary of the whole process and the special situation to the operation
control centre of the TJA;
c) The aircrew ought to submit a safety report to the Operation
Management Dept. within two weeks.
(3)The change of passenger seat in flight must be reported to the
captain by purser and agreed by the captain
7) Turnback and Diversion
(1) While returning to the departure airport or diverting to an
alternate due to some special situations, the operation control centre
(and its agencies) and the Commercial Transport Unit and so on should
make full preparation after receiving the notification.
(2) Before departing where the aircraft has landed, the weight and the

Chapter 9 Flight Operation page: 9-1-57


Np:TJA-OP1
Flight Operations Manual Ver:1303-0
Rev:130709

center of gravity should be re-calculated.


8) The Control of the Weight Data
(1) The original data on the limited weight and balance based upon
the aircraft's weight documents provided by the TJA will be sent to the
Load Distribution Unit of every aerodrome. The aerodrome should
send the feedback to the TJA after the completion of those files to
ensure the validity of them.
(2) The approved manifest will be used. The TJA will provide the
other aerodromes the manifest and ask them to use it.
(3) Before the operation of a new type of aircraft, the TJA will
provide trainings to the Load Distribution personnel.
9) Loading Plan
(1) Before the take-off, the Weight and Balance Unit should inform
the Transport Unit of the maximum load weight of this flight based upon
the estimated passenger numbers and baggage weight.
(2) The Transport Unit must make arrangements for the cargo in
accordance with those data and notify the Weight and Balance Unit.
(3) The Weight and Balance Unit will draft a detailed loading plan
(implementation scenario) based upon the calculated aircraft actual
weight and weight of the cargo and baggage to be loaded on-board to
ensure that the weight and the center of gravity are within the limit.
10) Loading Control
(1) The loading and offloading team should do the work based
upon the plan strictly for every flight. The Weight and Balance Unit
should complete the table according to the real uploading situation to
ensure that the weight and the center of gravity are within the strict
limit.
(2) Loading and offloading team should conduct loading strictly as
per loading plan.
11) Determination of the Fuel's Real Weight
(1) The weight of the airborne fuel can be figured out through the
index on the fuel meter minus the corrected value of fixed error.
(2) The pilot-in-command can estimate the accuracy of the take-off
gross fuel weight by comparing the index on the fuel meter with the sum
of the original airborne volume before refueling and the refueled volume.
There will be a minor difference between them due to the fuel
consumption of the auxiliary power device and the accuracy of the fuel
meter and the refueling devices. Usually, this difference can be ignored.
However, if the difference is quite large and definite, it should be
deducted or the fuel meter should be changed.
(3) The fuel ruler will be used if there is something wrong with the
fuel meter and while dispatching on basis of the minimum equipment
list.
12) The Delivery and Summary of the Weight and Balance Information

Chapter 9 Flight Operation page: 9-1-58


Np:TJA-OP1

(5) The weight and balance information will be acquired by
telex to complete the load notification which will be given to the flight
crew while checking in. The weight information should be sent out
based upon the content of the notification.
(6) If the load notification can not be acquired, the information
may be copied in a proper way. But the information must be identical
with the original ones without any error.

Chapter 9 Flight Operation page: 9-1-60


Np:TJA-OP1
Flight Operations Manual Ver:1303-0
Rev:130709

2) Principle of adjustment
(1) For normal scheduled flight operation, there’s no need for
all loading units to exercise adjustment of non-standard flight crew,
catering weight and index; If non-standard flight crew occurs (different
from the support above), the captain-in-command should inform TJA
loading agent unit to adjust when flight arrives; In the case of no contact
or other more important support, could ask the load distributor to make
temporary adjustment when he submitting the weight and balance sheet.
The adjustment method is based on the latest valid Technical Bulletin
provided by the Technical Performance Office;
(2) For the overloading due to temporary adjustment, the captain can
ask the person joining the flight crew or non-relevant person to
disembark. The operation method refers to the article2, 3.12.9 of this
Manual;
(3) For non-scheduled flight operation, such as training flight, test
flight, ferry flight and so on, flight crew resources management center,
flight attendant dispatch center, cabin support should at least 2 hours in
advance inform operation control centre the exact passenger number,
whether load on-board provisions, catering etc.. And then operation
control centre will inform relative load distribution unit of the airport to
adjust.
9.1.5 ATC Flight Plan (CCAR-121.133(a)(18))
9.1.5.1 ATC Flight Plan
Flights are normally operated on an instrument flight rules plan. Certain
short flights (ferry, non-revenue) may be dispatched under visual flight
rules. For safety reasons, the ATC must be informed of the expected
operation before each flight, and an ATC flight plan must to be filed for
each flight (IFR and VFR), and special procedures or manoeuvrability
limitation must be indicated.
9.1.5.2 Filling and filing ATC flight plan
1) The pilot-in-command will fill out the flight plan and submitted to the
ATC service & report office directly or through flight dispatcher or

Rev:130709

9.1.5.4 Pilot and ATC agreement


1) A clearance issued by ATC and accepted by a pilot
constitutes an agreement between ATC and the Captain as to
the planned execution of the flight. This agreement is the
current flight plan, whether or not it is the same as the
originally filed flight plan.
2) If at any point after take-off the Captain wishes to change
the flight plan, he must request the change and obtain the
concurrence of ATC in the form of an amended clearance.
Likewise, ATC may initiate an amended clearance for traffic
requirement and if concurrence between the Captain and an
ATC controller is not possible, the flight is continued under
the emergency authority of the Captain.
3) Any request for an amended clearance should be made
considering traffic and the planning and co-ordination
requirements of the ATC.
4) A pilot must not accept a clearance with which he cannot
safely comply or which exceeds the capabilities of the aircraft.
The Captain is the final authority as to the operation of the
aircraft; he is directly responsible for the operation of the
aircraft.
5) An ATC clearance is not an authorisation for a pilot to
deviate from any regulation or to conduct an unsafe operation.
If, due to severe weather, an immediate deviation is required,
the pilot’s emergency authority will be exercised.
6) A pilot should question any clearance or any part of a
clearance that he does not understand.
9.1.5.5 ATC Clearance(CCAR-121.133(a)(18))
ATC clearance is the approval given by air traffic control unit for certain
aircraft activities within its administrative area under specific rules.
Once an ATC clearance is given to pilots, it should not be deviated from
except in contingency or when action is required in response to the
ACAS alert. If pilots have doubt about the ATC clearance, they should
request confirmation from the ATC. Nobody should fly the aircraft
against ATC clearance except in emergency.
1) Clearance limits
(1) ATC clearance can not cause the captain violate civil aviation
regulations, rules, laws, minimum safe altitude or facilities
resulting in unsafe factors to aircraft operation. The clearance given
by ATC induce the captain to break civil aviation regulations, rules,
laws or the captain considers it hazardous to flight safety, the
captain has the responsibility to apply for a new and corrected
clearance.

Chapter 9 Flight Operation page: 9-1-64


Np:TJA-OP1
Flight Operations Manual Ver:1303-0
Rev:130709

(2) An ATC clearance issued before take-off normally includes the


destination airport as the clearance limit. A flight may be cleared to
a point short of the destination if ATC has no assurance that
co-ordination with a subsequent area control centre will be
accomplished before that flight enters its FIR.
(3) A flight must not continue beyond its clearance limit without
further clearance. It is the controller’s responsibility to furnish
further clearance before a flight reaches the clearance limit. This
clearance may change the clearance limit to a point beyond or it
may include holding instruction at the clearance limit. In the latter
case the controller should provide the pilot with an expected further
clearance time.
2) Departure procedure
(1) The departure procedure includes the routing and any altitude
restrictions during after take-off to the en-route phase.
(2) Generally, Standard Instrument Departures (SID) have been
established which identify each departure procedure with a name
and a number. At airports where they are used, these SIDs are
charted and used routinely to simplify and shorten clearance
delivery. A pilot is to accept a SID as part of the ATC clearance
only if the SID number in the clearance corresponds with his
charted information.
3) Route of flight
(1) If the route of flight is different from that filed, or if the flight is
an oceanic flight, or if a clearance is issued en-route, the clearance
must include a description of the route using airway designations,
radio fixes, or latitude and longitude.
2) When ATC includes the Mach number as part of the clearance, that
Mach number must be maintained as closely as possible (e.g. in
MNPS airspace), any change in Mach number must be approved by
ATC. Additionally, ETA amendments and/or TAS changes must be
reported to ATC.
4) Altitude
(1) A cleared altitude means an assigned altitude or flight level
including any restrictions. A new clearance is required to leave
that altitude or flight level.
(2) At airport without an approved instrument approach procedure, the
destination clearance authorises the pilot to proceed to the
destination airport, descend, and land.
(3) The clearance does not permit the pilot to descent below the MEA
or MOCA unless the descent and landing are made in accordance
with Visual reference Flight Rules.
(4) In some part of the world, altitude clearances are based on
separation from known air traffic and may not provide separation

Chapter 9 Flight Operation page: 9-1-65


Np:TJA-OP1
Flight Operations Manual Ver:1303-0
Rev:130709

from terrain and obstructions. The Captain is responsible for


ensuring that any clearance issued by ATC provides terrain and
obstruction separation.
(5) Upon receiving a clearance containing altitude information, the
Captain must verify that the clearance does not violate any
altitude restriction for the route to be flown.
5) Holding Instructions
If a flight is cleared to hold, ATC holding instructions must be complied
with. These instructions may be issued by the controller or they may be
required on the charts.
6) Arrival route
(1) Clearance for an arrival route is not issued until a flight is
approaching
the terminal area. This is a detailed clearance that fully
describes the routing to a point from which the flight will be
manoeuvred for the approach to the airport.
(2) At some airports, Standard Terminal Arrival Routes (STAR) has
been established. They identify each airport arrival route with a
name and a number. STARs are charted and used routinely to
simplify and shorten clearance delivery. A pilot is to accept a
STAR as part of the ATC clearance only if the STAR number in
the clearance corresponds with his charted information.
7) Communications
The frequency of departure control or the next en-route facility may be
included with the clearance.
8) Approach clearance
An approach clearance is authorisation to conduct an approach and
missed approach. If the type of approach is not specified, the pilot may
execute any type of instrument approach approved for the runway to be
used. In this case, the pilot must announce his intended choice of
approach procedure. An approach clearance does not include clearance
to land.
9) Complying with a clearance
(1) The captain should follow the ATC clearance except in emergency
situation. The captain could apply for a new clearance when it’s
more effective taking another route, or it’s limited by aircraft
equipment, or the clearance given conflict with the procedure
stipulated.
(2) When ATC issues a clearance, a pilot is expected to comply
promptly after acceptance.
(3) ATC may use the term ―immediate‖ to communicate urgency and
the requirement for expeditious compliance.
10) Clearance recording
A pilot should make a visible record of each ATC clearance, and all

Chapter 9 Flight Operation page: 9-1-66


Np:TJA-OP1
Flight Operations Manual Ver:1303-0
Rev:130709

route changes should be recorded on the flight plan log.


11) Cancelling an IFR flight plan
The flight plan is normally cancelled by the ―tower‖. After a landing on
a non-controlled airport the Captain must ensure that the flight plan is
cancelled.
9.1.5.6 Computer Flight Plan(CCAR-121.133(a)(18))
1) General
TJA operation control department provides a computer flight plan (CFP)
for each flight. The captain should sign after receiving the CFP and fly
accordingly. For samples of the CFP and explanations, refer to the
associated crew supplemental material.
(1) Each of the designated flight should have a copy of computer flight
plan (CFP) and ATC Flight Plan (FPL).
(2) Computer flight plan (CFP) provide flight time, waypoints, enroute
wind, the required fuel at departure and it is the basis for
determining dispatch fuel when flight dispatcher decides to release
aircraft. Pilot shall take the fuel quantity calculated by the
computer as the refueling basis. The final dispatch fuel shall be
made by captain and dispatcher.
(3) Computer flight plan (CFP) include:
A Flight number, date, route, departure airport, destination airport
and alternate airport.
B Aircraft type and configuration difference, tail number;
C Route direction, waypoint name, waypoint coordinates,
identification code;
D Forecast wind en-route, forecast temperature, true airspeed;
E Planned flight attitude;the minimum flight altitude for all flight
phases.
F Cruising speed: usually use economic cruising speed as the
planned flight speed;
G Distance between waypoints, estimated ground speed and
estimated flight leg time;
H The predicted fuel consumption between waypoint, reserve fuel,
extra fuel, accumulated fuel consumption en-route;
I Accumulated flight route distances, flight time, departure fuel;
J Pay load, zero-fuel weight, takeoff weight, landing weight;
K Monthly updated HF set form provided by HONG KONG
DRAGON radio station.
L Operation types (ETOPS, IFR, adjusted flights, others) .
2) Revision of CFP
(1) If conditions change and the flight cannot be carried out in
accordance with the original plan, operation control department will
provide a revised CFP to the flight crew.
(2) Revisions to the initial dispatch could also be made through

telegraph, radio communications or telephone. The flight crew could


make manual corrections on the initial CFP. Flight crew may keep the
original CFP by modifying manually in order to avoid delay.
3) Alternate airport Selection in CFP
The principle is to select a proper alternate airport for each flight for
alternate landing. When the weather at destination airport or first
alternate is marginal, at least one alternate airport must be selected.
The so-called proper is based on following factors:
(1) The suggested alternate airport listed in flight plan
(2) Actual and forecast weather, and the reliability of the forecast.
(3) Radio-aids facilities for approaching, and their conditions.
Note: When flight is dispatched initially, operation cost or economy
may not be taken into account. However, when aircraft is approaching
destination, if it is possible, captain shall consider these factors and
select a proper alternate. All takeoff airports for hainan airlines flights
including takeoff, route, landing, alternate should have air traffic control
tower. Flights with no ATC survellience will not be operated.

overflows, the device should shut down immediately until the fuel is
cleaned. It can only re-start up when there is no risk of catching fire.
6) Refueling can be conducted when the air conditioning is operating.
However, it must be shut down once the fuel overflows.
9.2.8 Normal Refueling Procedure
The captain should guarantee that the agent for refueling service has
signed on the four-couplet sheet after refueling every time, and take one
couplet and submit it to the Operation control centre together with the
flight task manifest after flight.

Chapter 9 Flight Operation page: 9-2-3


Np:TJA-OP1
Flight Operations Manual Ver:1303-0
Rev:130709

Note: When it needs no refueling at the departure station, the flight crew
checks the fuel amount by means of the fuel gauge at the cockpit. No
refueling sheet is needed.
1) Preparation Work Before Refueling:
(1) The flight crew should refuel the aircraft as the fuel amount on the
dispatch release sheet without adding too much more fuel or
insufficient fuel. The flight crew should tell the refueling service
agent the planned flight dispatch fuel quantity (including the total
quantity). If the actual departure fuel amount is over 500 pounds
(270 kg) than the planned departure fuel amount. At the operation
base, the flight crew should notice the Operation control centre who
will amend the dispatch release sheet and notify the
Weight&Balance Office to revise the weight and balance sheet. At
the non-TJA operation base, the flight crew should manage to notify
the Weight&Balance Office to prevent over weight;
(2) The refueling person should open the access door, correctly conduct
refueling procedure as the expected refueling mode and refueling
amount and set ―refueling/defuelling‖ control panel switch and so on.
2) Refueling Process
(1) While refueling, only connect the electrical circuit concerned with
refueling. Do not switch on or disconnect the switch, electric circuit
or electric appliances (except for the lighting equipment at night),
especially the radar and the high-frequency broadcasting station,
which should stop operation while refueling to prevent explosion;
(2) In the course of pressure refueling, the refueling staff should connect
the earth wire at first, and then open the cover of the fuel tank and
connect the refueling pipe (or fuel gun); the refueling staff should
pay high attention to the refueling interface and each fuel tank, and
check whether the ―refueling/defuelling‖ control panel displays
normally. If there is any abnormal phenomenon or the fuel
overflows, stop refueling;
(3) While refueling, do not put the high work stand, apparatus and
equipment on the ground under the aircraft wing to prevent the
wingtip going down and damaging the aircraft. If the fuel leaks from
the vent, it will also damage the aircraft.
3) Works after Refueling
(1) The service agents should record the following information on
aircraft refueling sheet:
a) Fuel quantity (or defuelling quantity);
b) Actual density of the fuel;
c) Fuel type and grade;
d) Refueling date, flight number, and aircraft SN;
e) Signature of the service agents.
(2) After refueling, fill out ―aircraft refueling sheet‖ according to the

Chapter 9 Flight Operation page: 9-2-4


Np:TJA-OP1
Flight Operations Manual Ver:1303-0
Rev:130709

actual fuel volume. The content must be complete and the letters should
be clear, no revision is permitted. The fuel volume is in liter as the
measuring unit. Except for Arab numerals, use Chinese. After finishing
the sheet the captain signs on it.
(3) The refueling staff should set up the ―refueling/defuelling‖ control
panel switch according to the procedure. After refueling, the service
staff should withdraw the fuel pipe (or fuel gun) and cover the fuel tank
first, and then take away the earth wire. The flight crew should confirm
that the fuel filler and the refueling cover are closed and all the refueling
equipment has been removed;
(4) Reasonableness Check
a) After refueling, the flight crew should carry out reasonableness
check, record the total fuel amount on Flight Task Manifest and
compare it with the record of the last time fuel left plus total fuel
quantity on the refueling sheet.
b) If any problem is found, find out the reason and correct it at once.
If the flight crew cannot find out the reason, as long as the actual
fuel amount of the aircraft is verified to be correct, the aircraft can
take off. However, the verification method should be recorded on
Aircraft Technical Logbook.
(5) Something to be noticed:
a) TJA’s aircraft are not allowed to fuel when the engine is still
working;
b) Do not fuel when there is thunderstorm. If there is rain, snow or
sandstorm and no covering measures can be taken, do not fuel at
the upper wing or the fuel filler.
9.2.9 Refueling Procedure when Fuel Quantity Indicator Fails
When one fuel tank indicator fails and aircraft need refueling, first
confirm if the aircraft could conduct refueling according to MEL of its
type. If it does and meets the refueling requirements, the flight crew
should, with the cooperation of maintenance people, strictly comply
with the flight manual and the refueling procedure with the failure of
fuel quantity indicator:
1) When the fuel indicator is ineffective, apply one of the refueling
methods:
(1) Empty the fuel tank at first, and then fill the fuel with known
quantity computed;
(2) Use fuel stick to read the residual fuel amount, calculate the fuel
amount to be fueled;
(3) Relevant aircraft type should apply the refueling procedure for it
on Aircraft Flight Manual.
Note:Qualified personnel who have taken part in the refueling training
of the TJA must strictly implement the refueling procedure. The refueling
staff must sign on the refueling sheet for ineffective fuel indicator. The
captain should check it and make a record of it on Aircraft Technical
Logbook.

Chapter 9 Flight Operation page: 9-2-5


Np:TJA-OP1
Flight Operations Manual Ver:1303-0
Rev:130709

2) The refueling steps for the affected fuel tank whose fuel indicator is
inoperative:
(1) Check the residual fuel amount in the fuel tank and make a
record of it;
(2) Deduct the residual fuel amount by planned departure fuel
amount, calculate the fuel amount to be fueled and make a record of it;
(3) After refueling, verify the fuel amount in the fuel tank (using fuel
gauge or other methods), compare the total fuel amount in the fuel tank,
the original fuel storage level and the fuel amount to be fueled;
(4) Make a record of the original fuel storage level and the fuel
amount to be fueled on Aircraft Technical Logbook.
(5) Note:
a) When the fuel indicator is ineffective in the course of
refueling, stop refueling operation at once. Otherwise, strictly comply
with ―refueling procedure for ineffective fuel indicator‖;
b) The refueling operation should strictly comply with Aircraft
Flight Manual its type.
9.2.10 Ground Defuelling
1) Flight Crew’s Decision (required by the flight)
If it fuels too much and it is overweight, or there is specially arranged
scheduled flight, ground defuelling is necessary. The refueling operation
should strictly comply with Aircraft Flight Manual for different types of
aircrafts. Try not to do this to prevent flight delay. Before defuelling,
notify the aviation fuel Company to prepare for a defuelling van. While
defuelling, the flight crew decides the fuel amount to be fueled and
accomplish the preparatory work at the cockpit. The captain should
appoint one person to monitor the defuelling process on the ground.
With the permission of the flight crew, the work staff can start
defuelling. After it, the captain should verify the refueled fuel amount,
sign on the fuel form and indicate it is defuelling rather than refueling.
2) Maintenance People Decision (Required by the maintenance work)
When the maintenance personnel prepare for defuelling, they should
notify the aviation fuel Company to send a defuelling van. The
maintenance personnel who have maintenance license decide the fuel
amount to be defueled and accomplish the operating preparatory work at
the cockpit. One maintenance personnel must monitor the defuelling
process on the ground. With the permission of the flight crew, the work
staff can start defuelling. After it, the captain should verify the defueled
fuel amount, sign on the fuel form and indicate it is defuelling, not
refueling.
9.2.11 Refueling with Passengers Onboard Boarding or Disembarking
(CCAR-121.133(a)(10))
1) Take preventive measures while refueling. The flight crew and the
aircraft crew should ensure that the passengers could be timely dispersed
whenever it catches fire (rarely happens). Keep the main passenger door
open and internal and external passages clean. Passenger steps or jetway

Chapter 9 Flight Operation page: 9-2-6


Np:TJA-OP1
Flight Operations Manual Ver:1303-0
Rev:130709

should enable all passengers to board /disembark.


2) The captain should ensure that all the flight crew members and
maintenance personnel are at the position. The surrounding area nearby the
emergency exist must be clean and the fire-fighting devices are available at
any time. And ensure the ground service (such as food loading, cleaning
work) won’t endanger or hinder the emergency evacuation.
3) During the course of refueling, the captain should supervise that the
interphone or other proper communication means between the refueling
flight crew member and flight attendants keep two-way communication
without interrupting. And meantime pay attention to the fire alarm sent by
the refueling flight crew member so as to give a command to evacuate
passengers if necessary.
4) The purser has the responsibility of notify the cockpit to stop refueling
until resume safety condition in the case of any potential risk occurs.
5) During the course of refueling, the flight attendants should stay onboard
and stand nearby the exit. They must admonish the passengers not to smoke
because of refueling in progress and do not tighten safety belt.
6) The flight crew should keep the signs of ―NOSMOKING‖‖
FASTENSEAT BELT‖ in off position and all ―EXIT‖ signs in ―on‖
position.
Note: The there is fire of any other dangerous situation, stop
refueling/defuelling process at once. If it catches fire, disperse all the people
on board rapidly and asks for help.
9.2.12 Fuel Spillage
In the event of spillage during refueling, stop refueling immediately. The
disposal of the fuel spillage is accomplished by the airport (airport station).
When there is fuel spillage, the flight crew should find out the reason and
take measures to prevent it catching fire. Contact the field coordinators,
solve the problem according to MH3145.39---1996 of Preventive Measures
and Processing of Ground Fuel Spillage of Civilian Aircraft, and explain
the reason why the fire-fighting devices are placed on the spot.
9.2.13 Replenishment of other fluid(CCAR-121FS.661/663/657)
1) Replenish the fluid (oil, hydraulic fluid) with the type stipulated by
individual aircraft type in the required quantity. Close and lock all filling
covers and interface after replenishment, and record the quantity
replenished in the Flight Log Book.
2) TJA stipulates: the oil quantity must conform to the requirement
prescribed in the manual of aircraft type to ensure adequate oil quantity to
cover the requirements till landing. Flight crew has the responsibility to
check that the oil quantity complies with the safety level before each takeoff.
If not, should ask the maintenance people to replenish.

9.3 Operation in Cold Weather (CCAR-121.341/649(a) (b) (c) (d))


9.3.1 Operation Regulations under Cold Weather
1) Use de-icing liquid instead of mechanical beating when there are
moderate or mass of ice, snow accumulated on the surface of wings,
fuselage and engines. Avoid damage antenna, vent, stall warning
devices, etc. while eliminating ice and snow.
2) Sweeping instead of blowing with hot air to eliminate light and dry
snow under the condition of below 0 degree centigrade. If hot air is
used to de-ice, the temperature should be controlled below 100°C.
Ice accumulated by water, melted from ice and snow blew by hot air
flown to un-heated area, must be eliminated.
3) Checking trailing edge mechanical devices of airfoil and tail after the
ice, snow and frost on aircraft surface are eliminated to prevent ice,
snow, frost melted water flowing into the devices to freeze.
4) Strengthen the inspection and maintenance to anti-ice and de-ice
devices of all kinds of aircraft during winter maintenance to ensure
the operation reliability of each system. When the aircraft is parking
in icing conditions, insufflate antiseptic glycol-hydroxyl anti-ice
compound around it to avoid doors and windows freezing from ice,
snow and water.
5) Aircraft operating at night with icing conditions should have its
inspection lights on or be illuminated in an equivalent way for the
identification of icing on critical wing areas. These areas should be
illuminated in a way that will not affect the flight crew from
inspection by dazzling or reflecting lights.
9.3.2 Operations on wet or contaminated runway
9.3.2.1 Runway friction characteristics
The stopping performance of aircraft is to a greater degree dependent on
the available friction between the aircraft tires and the runway surface,
their landing and take-off speeds. In some conditions the runway length
required for landing or take-off could be critical in relation to the
runway length available.
Adequate runway friction characteristics / braking action is mainly
needed for three distinct purposes:
1) The deceleration after touch-down or rejected takeoff of an airplane;
2) The directional control during take-off or landing roll out, particularly
in the presence of crosswind, asymmetric thrust or technical
malfunctions;
3) Wheel spin-up at touchdown.
To compensate for the reduced stopping and directional control
capability for adverse runway conditions, performance corrections
are applied in the forms of:
(1) Runway length increment;
(2) Reduction in actual take-off or landing weight;

Chapter 9 Flight Operation page: 9-3-1


Np:TJA-OP1
Flight Operations Manual Ver:1303-1
Rev:130815

(3) Reduction of actual crosswind component.


9.3.2.2 Measuring and expressing friction characteristics
The friction coefficient is defined as the ratio of the maximum available
tire friction force and the vertical load acting on the tire. This coefficient
is named "Mu" or ―µ‖.When friction measurement are not available but
can be only estimated, the pilot is informed only of the estimated braking
action reported as "good" - "medium" - "poor" - " nil" or a combination of
these terms.
Pilots should treat reported braking action measurements with caution
and interpret them conservatively.

Table 1 – Braking action versus Mu values


Estimated Friction Coefficient
braking action (Mu)
Good ≥0.4
Medium to Good 0.36 - 0.39
Medium 0.30- 0.35
Medium to poor 0.26 - 0.29
Poor 0.21-0.25
Nil 0.2 and lower
9.3.2.3 Braking action reports
Friction measurements or braking action estimation may be reported:
1) In plain language by the tower/ATC
2) By the routine weather broadcast (ATIS)
3) By SNOWTAM
When necessary, ATC issues the latest braking action report for the
runway in use to each arriving and departing aircraft. Pilots should also
be prepared to provide a descriptive runway condition report to ATC
when requested after landing.
9.3.2.4 Meteorological observations
Meteorological observation is an item to aware of runway conditions
and to estimate the braking action.
On snow- or ice-covered runways not treated with, e.g. sand, the
coefficient of friction varies from as low as 0.05 to 0.30. The braking
action is very much dependent upon the temperature especially near the
freezing point. However, when it is freezing, the braking action could be
fairly good, it will so remain if the temperature decreases but if the
temperature rises to the freezing point or above, the braking action will
decrease rapidly. Sometimes very low friction coefficient values occur
when humid air is drifting in over an icy runway even though the
temperature may be well below the freezing point.

Chapter 9 Flight Operation page: 9-3-2


Np:TJA-OP1
Flight Operations Manual Ver:1303-1
Rev:130815

Some of the various conditions which are expected to influence the


braking action are given below:
1) Friction coefficient between 0.10 and 0.30 (poor-medium)
(1) Slush or rain on snow- or ice-covered runway;
(2) Runway covered with snow or standing water;
(3) change from frost to temperature above freezing point;
(4) The type of ice which is formed after long periods of cold;
(5) A thin layer of ice formed:
a) By frozen ground having been exposed to humidity or rain at
0°C or above;
b) Radiation effect
2) Friction coefficient between 0.25 and 0.35 (poor-medium)
(1) Snow conditions at temperature just below freezing point;
(2) snow-covered runways at temperatures below freezing point,
exposed to sun;
(3) Slush-covered runway.
3) Friction coefficient between 0.35 and 0.45 (medium -good)
(1) Snow-covered runways which have not been exposed to
temperatures higher than about -2°C to -4°C.
(2) Damp or wet runway without risk of hydroplaning (less
than 3 mm water depth)
9.3.2.5 Aircraft performance on wet or contaminated runways
Contaminated runway: A runway is considered to be contaminated when
more than 25% of the runway surface area within the required length and
width being used is covered by the following:
◆ Surface water more than 3 mm deep, or slush, or loose snow;
◆ Snow which has been compressed into a solid mass
◆ Ice, including wet ice.
1)Contaminated surface report
The following criteria may be applied with respect to runway covere
d with deposits (e.g. standing water, slush or wet snow):
(1)When a dry runway is covered with standing water for more than 10
%, it shall be regarded as a wet runway, on which wet runway revisi
on and restrictions shall be applied.
(2)When airport temperature is nearing zero with standing water, slush
or wet snow on runway and provided that the reported friction coeffi
cient (if any) does not impose any restrictions, the following rules sh
all apply:
a)When scattered deposits cover 10% or less than 10% of runway, the o
peration on runway shall be treated as wet runway operation.
b) When scattered deposits cover 11% to 25% of runway, the

Chapter 9 Flight Operation page: 9-3-3


Np:TJA-OP1
Flight Operations Manual Ver:1303-1
Rev:130815

Braking action on runway shall be treated as medium.


c)When scattered deposits cover 25% to 50% of runway, the Braking act
ion on runway shall be treated as medium to poor.
d)When scattered deposits cover more than 50% of runway, the braking
action on runway shall be treated as poor.
e) Pilot's report may be used as a reference.
As aircraft performance and landing distance on a slippery or
contaminated runway can be found in associated operation manuals.
Corrections for takeoff and takeoff roll performance and landing
distance are given in the Aircraft Flight Manual established for given
depths of water or contaminant. Therefore the only way to determine the
applicable take-off and landing performance is to obtain the depth and
type of contaminant.
9.3.2.6 Guidelines for operations on wet or contaminated runway
Takeoff and landing on a contaminated runway shall be implemented in
compliance with the regulations specified by the Administrator and Cor
porate Operations Manual. Flight crews shall make a revision to the pert
inent data (e.g. takeoff weight, speed) according to QRH and reduce cro
sswind criteria and control the aircraft in accordance with the steering m
ethods on wet runway recommended in the manual.
1) For D328: takeoff is forbidden when the runway covered
with standing water, slush or wet snow
of more than 7 mm (inclusive) in depth, loose snow more than
28mm; landing is forbidden when standing water, slush or wet snow
of more than 15 mm (inclusive) in depth, and loose snow more than
60 mm; crosswind limitation of takeoff and landing on
contaminated runway is 8 knots.
2) For E145: Maximum standing water and snow on takeoff and
landing runway: 8mm standing water or wet snow slush, 9.4mm
slush, 16mm wet snow, 40mm dry snow, 64mm loose dry snow.
For E190: takeoff and landing is forbidden when runway is covered
with standing water or wet snow/ slush of 13mm and above, dry
snow: 60mm and above;
For A320: takeoff and landing is forbidden when runway is
covered with standing water or slush over 12.7MM, loose snow over
50.8 MM.
3) Takeoff and landing is forbidden on a runway with reported braking
action medium or below, or friction coefficient 0.3 or below.
Note:for the case of 1) 2)
No takeoff or landing is permitted on a runway covered with snow, slush
, water or ice unless the following conditions are satisfied:

Chapter 9 Flight Operation page: 9-3-4


Np:TJA-OP1
Flight Operations Manual Ver:1303-1
Rev:130815

(1)The depth of snow or slush along the full length of the required shortes
t runway shall not exceed the maximum value specified for the type o
f aircraft in question. The general guiding principle: The width of run
way cleared of contamination is 40 m. When the runway cannot be cle
ared of contamination within a suitable time to reach a width of 40 m,
refer to respective aircraft manual.
(2)The snow at both sides of runway length and width shall be removed
to ensure sufficient ground clearance when the outer wheels of differ
ent types of aircraft touch down on the runway edges and when flaps
are extended at the same time;
(3) The usable part of runway shall be clearly identified;
(4)The runway centerlines shall be marked out clearly if necessary.
The use of thrust reversers is mandatory on contaminated runways.
The two most important variables confronting the pilot when runway
coefficient of friction is low and/or conditions for hydroplaning exist are
length of runway and crosswind magnitude.
The total friction force of the tires is available for two functions -
braking and cornering. If there is a crosswind, some friction force
(cornering) is necessary to keep the aircraft on the centreline. Tyre
cornering capability is reduced during braking or when wheels are not
fully spun up. Locked wheels eliminate cornering. Therefore in
crosswind conditions, a longer distance will be required to stop the
aircraft.

9.3.3 Ground de-/anti-icing(CCAR-121.133(a(17))
9.3.3.1 Glossary /Definitions
1) Deicing: Deicing is a procedure by which frost, ice, slush or snow is
removed from an aircraft to render it free of contamination.
2) Anti-icing:
A precautionary procedure that provides protection against the
formation of frost and/or ice and the accumulation of slush and/or snow
on surfaces of an aircraft for a limited period of time.
3) Frost
The deposit composed of ice formed directly from water vapor at a
temperature below 0oC.
4) Rime Fog
It is a kind of super cooled drip, the crystal deposit forming on the
object in the cold weather.
5) Snow
It falls in the form of the small ice crystals and can deposit on the
surface of the aircraft.
6) Frezzing rain
Supercooled droplets of liquid precipitation falling on a surface resulting
in a thick coating of ice.
7) Holdover Time
Holdover time is the estimated time that an application of anti-icing
fluid is effective in preventing frost, ice, slush or snow from adhering to
treated surfaces. Holdover time is calculated as the beginning with the
final application of the anti-icing fluid, and as expiring when the fluid is
no longer effective.
8) Icing Meteorology Condition
The condition when the ambient temperature is below or equal to 10℃
on ground,and there is visual moisture in the air ( such as cloud,or the
mist ,rain ,snow, freezing rain, icy crystal of which the visibility is equal
to or less than 1.65 kilometers) or standing water, slush, ice or snow on
the runway.

Chapter 9 Flight Operation page: 9-3-6

Flight Operations Manual Ver:1303-0
Rev:130709

9) Inspection Before Takeoff:


During the remaining time after deicing and anti-icing, pilots should
inspect the wings and important surfaces to make sure if there is any
clinging frost, ice or snow.
10) Contamination Inspection Before Takeoff
It is an inspection carried out five minutes before takeoff by flight crew
and maintenance to confirm if there is ice, snow or frost on the wings,
control surfaces or other critical surfaces. If the inspection is carried out
after the holdover time, the flight crew or qualified mechanics should
perform the inspection per aircraft specific procedure to confirm if there
is ice, snow or frost on the wings, control surfaces or other critical
surfaces;
11) External Inspection
Inspection done outside the aircraft. The exterior inspection includes
touch inspection to the leading edges of the wings and the upper surface
of wings to make sure there is no contamination on the wings, control
surfaces and other critical surfaces. The External inspection must be
carried out in the within 5 minutes prior to take off
12) De-icing Code
De-icing Code stands for aircraft de-icing quality. Mechanics should
record the de-/anti-icing fluid code in de-/anti-icing work form after
completing the de-/anti-icing work, the code used is as follows:
(1) Type I Anti-icing Fluid
(2) TypeⅡ anti-icing fluid 100 refers to 100% the Type II de-icing fluid;
(3) TypeⅡ anti -icing fluid75/25 refers to the mixed solution of the 75%
TypeⅡ de-icing fluid and the 25% water.
(4) TypeⅡ anti-icing fluid50/50 refers to the mixed solution of the 50%
TYPEⅡ de-icing fluid and 50% water.
13) Damp:
A runway is considered damp when the surface is not dry, but when the
moisture on it does not give it a shiny appearance.
14) Humid:
A runway is considered humid when it’s shiny because of a very thin
layer of water. If the thinness of the water is no more than 3 mm, then the
possibility of hydroplaning risk is low.
15) Standing water
The depth of the water on the surface of runway is more than 3mm
because of heavy rainfall/or blocked drainage.
16) Slush
Slush is water saturated with snow, which spatters when stepping firmly
on it. It is encountered at temperature around 5°C, the density is about
0.85 kg/litre (7.1 pd/U.S. gal.)
17) Wet snow:
Snow which, if compacted by hand, will stick together and tend to or
form a snowball. The density is about 0.40 kg/litre (3.35 pd/U.S.gal.).
18) Dry Snow

Chapter 9 Flight Operation page: 9-3-7


Np:TJA-OP1
Flight Operations Manual Ver:1303-0
Rev:130709

Snow which can be blown if loose or, if compacted by hand, will fall
apart upon release. The density is about 0.2 kg/litre (1.7 pd/U.S.gal.).
19) Compacted snow:
Snow which has been compressed into a solid mass (typical friction
coefficient is 0.2).
20) Icy runway:
A runway is considered icy when its friction coefficient is 0.05 or below.

starts taxing with its own power.
(11) When at the airport without maintenance person accredited by
Maintenance and Engineering Dept. an agency by agreement, the flight
crew should complete the Ground De-/Anti-icing procedure.
9.3.3.3 The reason, the time and method for aircraft de-/anti-icing
When the outside temperature below 0°C, raindrops keeping in
extremely cold condition will freeze as soon as touch any objects on the
ground.
The ice will form when the humid air with temperature above freezing
point touches fuselage with lower temperature, this phenomenon is
related to the aircraft itself.
1) Conditions which cause aircraft icing
(1) Weather-related conditions:
When the outside temperature below 0°C, raindrops keeping in extremely
cold condition will freeze as soon as touch any objects on the
ground.Icing conditions on the ground can be expected when air
temperatures fall below freezing and when moisture or ice occurs in the
form of either precipitation or condensation. Precipitation may be rain,
sleet or snow. Frost can occur due to the condensation of fog or mist.
(2) Aircraft-related conditions
a) The concept of ice is normally only related to significant
adverse weather, however, for aircraft, even the outside temperature is
above freezing point, but ice and frost could still form on the aircraft
surface, wing and control surfaces if the temperature of the aircraft
fuselage is below 0℃(32F)and the air is damp or there is high density of
mosture.
b) If the rain drops on the surface with temperature a little bit
below 0℃(32F), it’s possible that a layer of clear ice forms especially on
the upper surface of aircraft wing. In most case, frost accumulates on the
upper surface of aircraft wing at the same time.
2) The reason of icing
(1) Low-temperature fuel added in the aircraft and/or long time
flight in air experienced in last flight cause the temperature of the fuel
remaining in the fuel tank below 0℃(32F).
(2) Lots of Low-temperature fuel in the wing tank retained in the
humid condition close to 0℃(32F)for a long time results in forming of
ice or frost.

Chapter 9 Flight Operation page: 9-3-9


Np:TJA-OP1
Flight Operations Manual Ver:1303-0
Rev:130709

(3) The snowfall causes possible re-icing if the temperature of the


fuel added during turnaround is a slightly above 0℃(32F)that can melt
the snow. There is icing risk if the ground temperature is about 0℃
(32F)when raining. Sometimes even the temperature is 8℃-14℃
(46F-57F), deep icing could occur while raining.
3) Impact of Icing to the aircraft
(1) Icing affecting to aircraft performance
a) The most obvious affect of icing to aircraft performance is lift
decrease and stall speed increase. Airflow on aerofoil is destroyed when
there is ice, snow or frost on the leading edge of wings, therefore the
airflow for creating lift is seriously affected. Effect on aerodynamic
performance by contamination on leading edge of aircraft wings is more
evident than that on middle part or tailing edge of wings.
b) Angle of attack is another part affected by icing. For clean wings, lift
required for normal takeoff is lower than maximum lift. Takeoff lift may
close to maximum lift and close stall angle when there is frost on wings.
When ice is accumulated on the wing, the critical angle of attack decrease
a lot. When rotate, the aircraft may enter stall angle of attack, which may
cause the aircraft cannot produce enough lift for takeoff. The flight crew
shall pay attention to that the AOA sensor regards the wings clean, and
will not make any correction to contamination influence. This will cause
the possibility of aircraft stall before the stall warning appears. Meanwhile,
when there is ice or some contamination on wings, its capability of
creating lift will decrease, and the aircraft may stall at a small angle of
attack. Moreover, the characteristics cannot be anticipated according to the
form and degree of the contamination.
c) Contamination on wings and fuselage will create so much skin friction
that aircraft frictions drag increases. Meanwhile, due to the heavy weight
of ice accumulated on the whole aircraft, the position of icing on wing
surfaces will affect the center of gravity and lift center of the aircraft. For
the sweepback wings, it is more serious to have a contamination on the
outboard/rear part than the inboard/forward part of the wings, the total lift
of outboard/rear part of the wings will decrease, which leads to a forward
movement of the lift center and a pitch up of the aircraft during takeoff;
contrarily the aircraft will pitch down.
d) Characteristics of influences from wing contamination:
① Lift decreased;
② High stall speed;
③ Small stall angle of attack;
④ Drag increased;
⑤ Lift center position shifted
(2) Influences to aircraft systems:
a) Contamination to engine air inlet may reduce the available thrust of
aircraft;

Chapter 9 Flight Operation page: 9-3-10


Np:TJA-OP1
Flight Operations Manual Ver:1303-0
Rev:130709

b) If contamination is not eliminated from aircraft main control surface


area, the control surfaces will be frozen at their present positions or their
movement will be restricted. At the same time, note that when there is
ice at control surface area, the related surface will be damaged when the
aircraft is operated;
c) The landing gear will be damaged when ice on landing devices is not
eliminated. Snow/slush accumulated on landing gear and steering strut
may fall off during takeoff and damage the aircraft;
d) Contamination on aircraft exterior sensor probes or ports,or areas in
front of or close to sensors will lead to a wrong information provided to
flight instruments, engine instruments and automatic flight control
systems;
e) Vapor or ice remained on the seals of cabin door and cargo door will
lead to a depressurization of aircraft or damage to seals.
f) Aircraft parts vulnerable to icing effect:
① High lift devices;
② Control surfaces;
③ Engines;
④ Landing gears;
⑤ Sensors;
⑥ Fuselage.
(3) Icing effect on engines
The contaminations dropped from forward fuselage may be ingested
into engines resulting in damage to engines. Strengthen visual check
after de-/anti-icing and touch the forward fuselage surface to make sure
that there’s not any clear ice adhering to the fuselage surface.
4) The criteria of applying ground de-/anti-icing
(1) Weather conditions for applying de-ice/anti-ice procedures
a) If there is freezing frost or precipitation, de-ice/anti-ice procedure
must be considered;
b) Whenever according to the information provided by weather
department, the OAT is below 5°C, and there is visual moisture (for
example, fog, rain, snow, sleet or ice crystal with a visibility less than
1.5 kilometers), or there is water, slush, ice or snow on the runway. Or
the OAT is less than 10°C, the ambient temperature reaches or is close
to the weather condition of dew point, and there is possibility for frost,
snow or ice accumulated on fuselage or control surfaces;
c) Freezing rain and drizzle: precipitation at the time of an OAT below
0°C, raindrop that remains a super-cooling status touches aircraft
fuselage and forms icing;
d) Freezing precipitation, ice crystals: such as there is snow, sleet or hail
when OAT is between -4°C and 1°C, the difference between
temperature and dew point is within 1°C, and there is wet snow on the

Chapter 9 Flight Operation page: 9-3-11


Np:TJA-OP1
Flight Operations Manual Ver:1303-0
Rev:130709

aircraft surfaces;
e) OAT is about below -8°C, the difference between temperature and
dew point is more than 5°C, dry snow has dropped on the aircraft
surfaces;
(2) Ground conditions of aircraft ground de-/anti-icing implementation
Ice accumulation may come from the ground operation influences or
ground conditions. When weather conditions do not have the
temperature conditions of icing and snowing, but the icing ground may
cause ice, snow to adhere to the aircraft fuselage surface. such as:
a) Operations on apron, taxiway or runway covered with moisture,
snow water or snow;
b) The blowing snow caused by surface wind or other aircraft and the
snow blown and swept by ground assistant anti-icing equipment
continually.
(3) he conditions to cause frosting on aircraft fuselage surface
When the temperature is at freezing point or below, and relative
humidity is very high, there will be frost formed on aircraft fuselage
surface. When an aircraft stays overnight at an airport or descends from
the cruise altitude to land, frost accumulation is normal since fuselage
surface and fuel temperature remains below freezing point. TJA aircraft
are allowed to operate when the depth of frost on the lower wing is up to
3mm (including 3mm) duo to cold fuel.
(4) Conditions for applying aircraft anti-ice system to carry out
anti-icing with engines running
It is indicated that icing conditions exist when TAT is 10°C(50F)or
below and there are following conditions, anti-icing should be carried
out:
a) There is visual moisture in the air in any form( such as cloud, mist
with a visibility less than 1 nautical mile, rain ,snow, sleet, ice crystals) ;
b) Standing water, slush, ice or snow on the apron, taxiway, and runway;
(5) Description of icing intensity:
a) Trace- Ice becomes perceptible. Rate of accumulation is slightly
greater than the rate of sublimation. It will not be dangerous to aircraft
even if the deicing/anti-icing equipment is not utilized unless
maintaining in icing area for an extended period of time (over 1 hour).
b) Light- The rate of accumulation may create a problem if flight is
prolonged in this environment (over 1 hour). Occasional use of
deicing/anti-icing equipment removes/prevents accumulation. It does
not present a problem if the deicing/anti-icing equipment is used.
c) Moderate- The rate of accumulation is such that even short
encounters become potentially hazardous and use of deicing/anti-icing
equipment or alternation of flight route is necessary.

Chapter 9 Flight Operation page: 9-3-12


Np:TJA-OP1
Flight Operations Manual Ver:1303-0
Rev:130709

d) Severe- The rate of accumulation is such that deicing/anti-icing


equipment fails to reduce or control the hazard. Immediate change of
flight route is necessary.
(6) The clean wing concept
Clean Wing typically refers to the wing sector, control surfaces and
stabilizers that must remain a clean aerodynamic configuration, without
any adhesion. The concept of ―Clean aircraft‖ comes from CCAR-121.
The aircraft with snow, frost or ice on wings, engine air inlet or other
main surfaces is not allowed to takeoff. It is because that ice
accumulating on aircraft will bring obvious, sometime destructive affect
to the aircraft equipment and performance. Contamination from frost,
snow or ice will change the aircraft aerodynamic design, and always
make the condition worse.
(7) Inspection of clear ice
A thorough inspection of the aircraft surfaces is an important item of
flight preparation because aircraft performance is certificated in clean
surface, adhesion on any part directly affects aircraft aerodynamic
configuration, subsequently imposes great effect on aircraft performance,
further affects flight safety.
a) When the aircraft encountered rainfall conditions (such as rain,
drizzle, fog) on the ground , and frost or ice has formed on the fuel tank
area of lower wings, or it is suspected that clear ice has formed on upper
wings, proper action should be taken to access upper wings to check
whether there is clear ice;
b) A layer of clear ice underneath the snow/snow water is very difficult
to spot, so in some cases, it can only be confirmed by touching to know
whether the ice exists.
5) The time and place for ground de-/anti-icing
(1) The time for de-/anti-icing:
a) The proper time regarded by Maintenance and Engineering people
according to the inspection;
b) Before takeoff when the flight crew confirms that the de-/anti-icing
is necessary;
① Takeoff preparation has been completed, without malfunctions;
② All passengers on board;
③ All passenger doors closed;
④ All relevant equipment have been removed(except de-/anti-icing
equipment);
⑤ The aircraft has been towed to or at proper de-/anti-icing station.
c) According to the regulation of TJA, captain, maintenance personnel
and TJA flight dispatcher should ensure that all the flight controls
operate normally and be free from ice, frost or snow 5 minutes before

Chapter 9 Flight Operation page: 9-3-13


Np:TJA-OP1
Flight Operations Manual Ver:1303-0
Rev:130709

cleared takeoff time. When there is slush, snow, sleet or water on


taxiway, or it is raining and outside temperature is close to freezing
point, the personnel mentioned above should codetermine to
de-ice/anti-ice. When the conditions for the codetermination are not
distinct enough, the following standards can help to make the decision
of using de-ice/anti-ice procedure:
① If frosting or precipitation presents, use of de-/anti-icing procedure
must be considered.
② Whenever on the ground temperature is below 6°C, and dew point
is 3°C lower than OAT, there is high possibility for frost, snow or ice
accumulating on aircraft, it is necessary to carry out the de-ice/anti-ice
procedure;
③ In flight whenever the temperature drops below 10°C and there is
sufficient vapor, it is necessary to carry out the de-ice/anti-ice
procedure.
(2) De-/anti-icing place:
a) The place to implement de-/anti-icing must be allowed by the airport
Administrator and clearly indicated on the airport chart;
b) The place to implement de-/anti-icing should be agreed by
Maintenance and Engineering people and ATC controller through
consultation;
c) The places above comprise:
① Apron;
② Bridge;
③ Aircraft de-/anti-icing holding area before takeoff;
④ Places far away from hangar of parking apron, taxiway;
⑤ Holding point of takeoff runway (special clearance from ATC
required).
9.3.4 Flight crew de-/anti-icing Operational procedure
(CCAR-121.133(a)(17))
9.3.4.1 Flight crew ground de-/anti-icing procedure
1) Basic requirement for flight crew

2) External inspection before departure

Chapter 9 Flight Operation page: 9-3-14


Np:TJA-OP1
Flight Operations Manual Ver:1303-0
Rev:130709

(1) External inspection before takeoff is the first step for the flight crew
to decide whether a protection for ice, snow, frost is needed. The
inspection must comprise:
a) Leading/trailing edge and upper/lower surfaces of wings;
b) Control Surfaces;
c) Engine air inlets;
d) Antenna;
e) Fuselage (including radome);
f) AOA sensors, pitot tube and static ports;
g) Fuel tank vents;
h) Air conditioning system and APU inlet;
i) Landing gears (including: struts, support bar, landing gear
doors, wheels and hubs);
j) Water drain and on-board water supply equipment are not
frozen;
(2) The lower part of forward fuselage should be touched to ensure
there’s no clear ice during the inspection;
(3) For the treatment of frost formed on the fuel tank area of lower
surface of the wing duo to low fuel temperature, the flight crew carry
out according to the related criteria in ―Supplementary
procedure/Adverse weather‖ of the FCOM.
3) Cockpit preparation before de-ice
(1) De-/anti-ice information notification
After aircraft external inspection mentioned above, the flight crew
should inform the departments and personnel related to de-/anti-icing
(such as Maintenance and Engineering Dept., dispatch department,
traffic control department or de-/anti-icing principal,mechanics, flight
attendants and other relevant persons.) of the decision of carrying out
ground de-/anti-icing, and make de-/anti-icing preparation in
cooperation with mechanics.
(2) Cockpit preparation
a) Maintain air-ground communication and obtain de-icing clearance;
b) Establish communication with ground mechanics or de-icing
signaler;
c) Parking brake is on;
d) APU or GPU on, APU bleed OFF;
e) Verify engines shutdown or at idle thrust (de-icing with idle thrust)
f) Both air conditioning PACKS OFF
g) Close all windows, passenger doors and emergency exists to avoid
contaminating galley floor and interior furniture; If the ice or snow
on the passenger door affects the closing of the door, ice or snow
must be disposed before closing the door (to avoid contaminating

Chapter 9 Flight Operation page: 9-3-15


Np:TJA-OP1
Flight Operations Manual Ver:1303-0
Rev:130709

cabin, small amount of heated de-icing fluid can be used) ;


h) Stab trim full down or as required (see SOPs). Do not move the stab
trim during the de-icing unless signaled by the ground mechanics.
i) Flaps up or as required (see SOPs); if ice has built up between the
flap surfaces due to severe icing conditions, flaps may be extended
to and maintain at the landing positions as commanded by the
de-icing personnel. After flaps are set (up or extended), do not move
the flaps lever without the command from the ground mechanics.
j) Turn off all lights on the de-icing/anti-icing areas as necessary;
k) Complete Ground De-/Anti-icing Checklist.
4)Time and way to establish communication with ground mechanics
Time and method for communication and contact
(1) Communication, contact time: in order to prevent aircraft from
damage and person from injury, communication must be established
between flight crew and ground mechanics before and after
de-/anti-icing;
(2) Contact method: gesture and interal communication system;
5) Flight crew inspection after de-/anti-icing
(1)Authorize a qualified mechanic to complete the walkaround check
again;
(2) Flight control check: complete the control check before normal
engine startup, and ask ground mechanics for the situation of external
check to make sure that the flight control system is free of jam due to ice,
snow;
(3) Clean up residual anti-icing fluid on the windshield;
(4) Reconfirm the de-/anti-icing holdover time;
(5) Verify that the ground de-/anti-icing equipment has been removed;
(6) Complete normal check before engine startup;
Note: Don’t move flaps or stabilizer trim until clearance has been
acquired from ground mechanics during the inspection mentioned
above;
6) Before takeoff check within the holdover time
(1) In ground icing conditions, de-/anti-icing of the aircraft has been
done and holdover time has been established, the captain should confirm
the inspection before takeoff. This inspection should be done at time
closest to takeoff time and not exceed the holdover time. At least one
before takeoff inspection should be done after establishing the holdover
time.
(2) In order to confirm ice, snow and other contaminations, verify all
non-heated external surfaces of front windshield and equipment in front
of windshield, such as windshield glass, wipers.
(3) Complete the check of the leading edge devices of the wings

Chapter 9 Flight Operation page: 9-3-16


Np:TJA-OP1
Flight Operations Manual Ver:1303-0
Rev:130709

through cabin windows if it is impossible to confirm the outside


situation via the observation from the cockpit.
(4) The aircraft can not take off if cleanness situation is not confirmed.
The captain has following options:
a) Check and verify the situation through mechanics;
b) Repeat de-/anti-icing;
c) Move the aircraft to a far away place and take de-snow
action.
7) Before takeoff contamination inspection after the holdover time
(1) Inspection time:
a) Aircraft has finished de-/anti-icing, but the holdover time
is over (anti-icing effect expires when the holdover time is over);
b) The aircraft has not done the de-/anti-icing, but the
weather causes the wing contamination.
(2) The before takeoff contamination inspection must be completed in 5
minutes before takeoff. According to the weather conditions, if the taxi
time and holding time before takeoff is longer then holdover time, the
captain has the right to taxi back to do the contamination inspection to
make sure whether another de-/anti-icing is needed
Note: after the de-/anti-icing, if there’s no hazardous weather conditions,
contamination inspection/procedure before takeoff could be omitted. In
this case the captain has the responsibility to make a similar decision
according to reliable information. For example: de-/anti-icing treatment
has been done on the aircraft with de-icing Type I Fluid at 6:00 because
of icing. At 8:00 no contamination has been found by the flight crew
during external inspection before takeoff, and the temperature is above
freezing point, weather is clear. At 8:30 when aircraft taxies out, the
temperature is rising and weather is better. At this time there’s no need
to do before takeoff contamination inspection, except when doubts exist.
8) The record after the de-icing
If the cabin door has been closed at the time of de-icing, it is the captain’s
responsibility to make a record about the beginning time of using anti-ice
fluid, anti-ice code, on the Aircraft Log Book (Technical Log Book) and
to verity the holdover time after the de-icing operation.
9.3.4.2 Flight crew operational procedures in cold weather
1) Operational procedures in cold weather
(1) When the captain and dispatcher consider that the icing condition
encountered or expected en routes or in some airports will severely
affect the flight safety, any one of our company must not release any
airplane, or continue the operation on these routes, or land at these
airports.
(2) when the frost, ice, or snow are found adhered to the wings,

Chapter 9 Flight Operation page: 9-3-17


Np:TJA-OP1
Flight Operations Manual Ver:1303-0
Rev:130709

control surfaces, propellers, engine inlets, or other critical surfaces


before departure, the dispatcher must not dispatch and release the
airplane, and flight crew must not take off without the ground
deicing/anti-icing operation.
(3) When icing condition is encountered in flight, the captain should
use the de-/anti-icing equipment properly and timely to increase cruise
power properly and report to the ATC. Change of flight level should be
requested immediately if airspeed decreases continually after using
de-/anti-icing equipment. If icing condition persists and it is impossible
to maintain minimum safe speed after changing flight level, the captain
must land at the nearest airport or turn back, and report ATC and TJA
Operation control centre his decision to get ground supports.
(4) TJA de-/anti-icing procedure should be exercised if ice, frost,
snow is found before flight.
2) Pre-flight notices under icing condition: After the aircraft de-ice on
the ground, ground de-ice/anti-ice checklist must be finished before
takeoff;
(1) In low temperature condition, carefully check if the flap position
indicator is consistent with leading edge device annunciation panel. Set
flap lever immediately back to the position corresponding to the flap
position when the flap stop moving.
(2) Strictly following the pre-flight checklist and check (if needed) if
the engine de-ice/anti-ice switches are in ON position to ensure that the
aircraft is in takeoff configuration.
(3) The inspection during takeoff roll and takeoff
Aircraft may be taxied at the captain discretion on apron and taxiway
not cleared of snow and slush. More power than normal may be required
to commence and continue taxi so caution should be taken to avoid jet
blast damage to buildings, equipment and other aircraft. The crew can
taxi only when the boundaries/edges of manoeuvring areas and taxiway
is clearly identified. If there is any doubt, request "Follow me" guidance.
When executing sharp turns while taxiing or parking at the ramp,
remember that braking and steering capabilities are greatly reduced with
icy airport conditions; reduce taxi speed accordingly
(1) The captain should confirm engine anti-ice on.
(2) Taxing in the area covered with ice or snow, keep 300m
distance from the front traffic to prevent snow or freezing ice
blown by the front aircraft adhering to the aircraft.
(3) The flight crew or qualified maintenance staff should verify the
aircraft surface through check ensuring no contaminations on
the aircraft to satisfy the requirement for takeoff aircraft

Chapter 9 Flight Operation page: 9-3-18

Flight Operations Manual Ver:1303-0
Rev:130709

surface.
(4) Before taxing to takeoff position the captain shall verify that the
aircraft remains in effective holdover time and meet the
de-/anti-icing standards.
4) Considerations for takeoff in icing conditions
Severe retardation may occur in slush or wet snow.
In most cases, lack of acceleration will be evident early on the take
off run. Maximum permissible power must be used from the start.
Large quantities of snow or slush, usually containing sand or other
anti-skid substances may be thrown into the engines, static ports and
onto the airframe. Pod and engine clearance must be watched when
the runway is cleared and snow is banked at the sides of runways or
taxiway.
(1)Check N1 number under icing condition to ensure the aircraft
reach necessary takeoff thrust;
(2)Push control lever forward a little to increase the efficient force
of nose gear, use aileron to increase control to direction;
(3)Adopt pointing takeoff under moderate or severe icing
conditions.
(4) For D328: takeoff is forbidden when the runway covered
with standing water, slush or wet snow
of more than 7 mm (inclusive) in depth, loose snow more than 28mm
(1.1 inch); crosswind limitation of takeoff and landing on contaminated
runway is 8 knots.
E145: Maximum standing water, snow and wet slush on departure
runway: 8mm; slush: 9.4mm; wet snow:16mm ; dry snow: 40mm ; loose
dry snow: 64mm.
E190: Takeoff is prohibited with 13 mm or more of standing
water, wet snow or slush, or 60 mm or more of loose snow on
the runway.
A320: Takeoff is prohibited with more than 12.7 mm of
standing water or slush, or more than 50.8 mm of dry snow on
the runway.
5) In-flight icing conditions handling
The flight crew shall take the following measures timely when icing
in-flight:
(1) Use de-ice/anti-ice devices correctly and timely, properly increase
cruise power, moderate or severe icing shall be reported to ATC; if
flight speed continue to decrease after using de-ice/anti-ice devices,
request for changing flight level promptly. If there are still icing or the

Chapter 9 Flight Operation page: 9-3-19


Np:TJA-OP1
Flight Operations Manual Ver:1303-0
Rev:130709

flight cannot maintain minimum safety speed after changing flight level,
the captain shall land at the nearest airport or return to the departure
airport, and shall report the measures taken to ATC and dispatcher of the
TJA’s Operation control center.
(2) Aircraft without de-ice/anti-ice devices or with malfunctioned
de-ice/ anti-ice devices is forbidden to fly in icing areas.
(3) Change flight altitude to break away from icing areas.
(4) Check wing surfaces and control systems’ ice accumulation
conditions of the icing aircraft before landing. Landing is permitted only
when the icing condition does not affect flight safety.
(5) The icing aircraft shall fly at the speed regulated in manual when
landing and touchdown. If ice on windshield cannot be eliminated, open
side window to land.
6) Holding and approach
(1) Apply anti-ice system as necessary;
(2) Increase approach speed properly considering the icing condition
during approach.
7) Landing
Pilots should be aware that where rain, hail, sleet or snow showers are
encountered on the approach or have been reported as having recently
crossed the airfield, there is a high probability of the runway being
contaminated. The runway state should be checked with ATC before
commencing or continuing the approach. Very often a short delay is
sufficient to allow the runway to drain or the contaminant to melt.
Use of reverse thrust on landing on dry snow in very low temperatures
will blow the dry snow forward especially at low speed. The increase in
temperature may melt this snow and form clear ice on re-freezing on
static ports.
The required landing field length for dry runways is defined as 1.67 times
the demonstrated dry landing distance. For wet runways, this landing
distance requirement is increased by 15%.
The required landing field length for contaminated runways is defined as
1.15 times the demonstrated contaminated landing distance.
(1) Considering the influence of the crosswind limitation and braking
action on the slippery runway, except in the emergency situation that
must land, otherwise landing on the slippery runway covered with
snow is not proper when the reported braking action is poor;
(2) Landing in the conditions of strong cross wind and blowing snow
may cause vision blurred which results in seeing ground not clearly
during flaring. In those cases, may request turn on runway lights as
landing reference.
(3) During landing, be aware of the above factors affecting roll distance,
find relevant checklist and performance charts to do calculation
during approach preparation;

Chapter 9 Flight Operation page: 9-3-20


Np:TJA-OP1
Flight Operations Manual Ver:1303-0
Rev:130709

(4) If landing in extremely cold weather, consider correcting DH or


MDA and approach altitude and each approach point altitude (IAP,
FAF) with pressure altitude correction table;
The factors and considerations involved in landing on a wet and
contaminated runway are quite complex and depending on the
circumstances, the pilot may have to make critical decisions almost
instinctively. The following list of items summarises the key points
to be borne in mind. Several may have to be acted upon
simultaneously
a) For D328:Don’t land on the runway covered with standing water,
slush or wet snow of more than 15 mm (0.6 inches) in depth,
loose snow more than 60 mm(2.4 inches)(refer to D328 AFM);
E145: Maximum standing water, snow and wet slush on landing
runway: 8mm; slush: 9.4mm; wet snow:16mm ; dry snow:
40mm ; loose dry snow: 64mm.
E190: Landing is prohibited with 13 mm or more of standing
water, wet snow or slush, 60 mm or more of loose snow on the
runway.
A320: Landing is prohibited with more than 12.7 mm of standing
water or slush, or more than 50.8 mm of dry snow on the runway.
b) Limit crosswind components when runway conditions are poor and
runway length short.
c) Establish and maintain a stabilised approach. Consider the many
variables involved before landing on a slippery runway:
① Landing weather forecast
② Aircraft weight and approach speed
③ Landing distance
④ Glide path angle
⑤ Do not exceed VAPP at the threshold. An extended flare is more
likely to occur if excess approach speed is present.
⑥ Be prepared to go-around
⑦ Flare the aircraft firmly at the 1000 ft aiming point. Avoid build up
of drift in the flare and runway consuming float. A firm landing, by
facilitating a prompt wheel spin up, also ensures efficient antiskid
braking.
8) Landing roll
Firm landing may make the wheels spinning up rapidly and can ensure
effective anti-skid effect. Get the nose of the aircraft down quickly.
Do not attempt to hold the nose off aerodynamic braking. Aim to
have the nose wheel on the ground by the time reverse thrust reaches
the target level. Immediate use both maximum braking and

Chapter 9 Flight Operation page: 9-3-21


Np:TJA-OP1
Flight Operations Manual Ver:1303-0
Rev:130709

maximum reverse can minimize the roll distance of the aircraft on


the slippery runway
(1) Apply brakes
It is recommended to avoid landing without anti-skid, because normal
operative anti-skid device could distribute contaminants.
a) With auto brake inoperative, use brakes when the speed has
decreased below tire hydroplaning speed if runway length permits. Once
the situation requiring maximum braking occurs, press the pedals with
maximum force and maintain. Use maximum reverse thrust until the
aircraft stops, if necessary.
b) Items to be noticed when using manual brakes: Manual braking
action on wet, slippery runway with ice and snow decreased
significantly, apply brakes gently up to maximum brake pressure, don’t
alternate the pedals, until maintain adequate braking action to decelerate
the aircraft to safe taxi speed; Pay attention to working status of
anti-skid braking to prevent brakes failing.
(2) Directional control during landing
Anticipate the cross wind influence to aligning with landing direction.
When apply reverse thrust and brakes during cross-wind landing, pay
attention to the thrust of reversers will increase cross wind influence
leading to deviating from centreline; Excessive use of braking will cause
aircraft deviating from centreline too. Don’t correct the aircraft on
lateral axis completely which may cause aircraft to side skid on the
slippery runway surface due to the stable ability in cross wind. Use
rudder and flaps to maintain aircraft on the runway centreline. With
decreasing of rudder efficiency, reduce flaps input accordingly. (For
maximum cross-wind relative to runway conditions, see 9.3.2.6 3) Table
2).
a) When aircraft returns runway centerline, maintain direction with
proper rudder travel, use differential braking if necessary.
Note:
① Do not allow large deviations from the runway heading to
develop as recovery can become very difficult. Use of the nose
wheel steering is not recommended. Under slippery conditions,
the nose wheels must be closely aligned with the aircraft track or
they will scrub.
② If directional or lateral control difficulties are experienced,
disconnect the auto brake, if necessary, reduce reverse thrust levels
symmetrically, and regain directional control with rudder, aileron and
differential braking. Once under control, reapply manual braking and
increase symmetrical reverse levels as required while easing the aircraft
back towards the runway centreline.
9) Taxi into parking stand and park
(1) Parking on the slippery runway or parking apron with slope,
release parking brake until chops on.
10) Start up engines and taxi into de-/anti-icing area

Chapter 9 Flight Operation page: 9-3-22


Np:TJA-OP1
Flight Operations Manual Ver:1303-0
Rev:130709

On some airports, de-/anti-icing area is a designated apron where the


aircraft shall taxi into and do de-/anti-icing. For operation in cold
weather, the following items should be done first:
(1) Before leaving the gate/stand, make sure that there is no ice and
snow in the engine inlet, air inlet, on the landing gear and cockpit wind
shield;
(2) Must push back the aircraft and then start engines if on the slippery
taxiway;
9.3.5 Characteristics and operation of de-/anti-icing fluid
(CCAR-121.649(c(2(V))) )
9.3.5.1 De-/anti-icing fluid degrading the aircraft performance
1) When any type of de-/anti-icing fluid is used in any condition, the
liquid membrane formed on the aircraft surface has small influence on
the lift decrease which is accepted by aircraft manufacturer and CAAC.
So the flight crew calculates takeoff mode based on performance. The
aircraft operated by TJA still has adequate safe margin in
reduce/reduced thrust takeoff.
2) Former pilots worry about that Type II fluid dropped on the ground
during takeoff may degrade landing aircraft performance. However, the
demonstration proves that this type of fluid will vaporize and dissipate,
the residual liquid will be swung to both sides during takeoff by the
vortex generating on the wing tip. 60 seconds after takeoff all residual
liquid will freely drop off.
9.3.5.2 Selection and use of De-ice fluid
There are two types of de-ice/anti-ice fluid adopted by G CE: Type and
typeⅡ、1) TypeⅠde-ice fluid is a glycol liquid with fluid characteristic
of light weight and quick flow, so it has low glutinosity or coherence to
wing and tail control surfaces. The color of this type of de-ice fluid is
magenta or red. Diluted with water (the normal proportion is 50%/50%)
and heated to not lower than 60°C when using, it will reach the best
de-ice effect. It is usually used when there is no waiting time or short
waiting time between de-icing and takeoff. It can be used as anti-ice
fluid also.
2) TypeⅡde-ice fluid is a thick and transparent glycol liquid with fluid
characteristic of high glutinosity. Diluted with water according to OAT
when using. It can reach the best anti-ice and protection effect without
heating.
Note:It shall be noted that the ice and snow on aircraft should be
eliminated before using TypeⅡde-ice fluid. The aircraft can also be
de-iced with heated (the liquid can flow freely when the temperature is
about 35°C) diluents de-ice fluid first, and then sprinkled with water
diluted anti-ice fluid. TypeⅡde-ice fluid can be used as de-ice/anti-ice

Chapter 9 Flight Operation page: 9-3-23


Np:TJA-OP1
Flight Operations Manual Ver:1303-0
Rev:130709

fluid which needs heating before using.


9.3.5.3 Effective Holdover Time
1) Effective holdover time, coming from the chemical characteristic of
the fluid anti-ice character, means the estimate time of frost/ice forming,
or ice or snow/slush accumulating on the processed aircraft surface that
de-ice or anti-ice fluid can prevent. Effect holdover time begins at the
using of anti-ice fluid and terminates when the de-ice fluid does not
work and provide protection anymore. The Effect holdover time Table
of TypeⅠand typeⅡ in section 5 is provided by the automatic
engineering department of NASA. Table 1 and Table 2 are used to
confirm the effect holdover time of TypeⅠand TypeⅡde-ice fluid
respectively. The effect period will be reduced in severe weather or
heavy wind or blew by other aircraft jet air. Otherwise the effect
holdover time may prolong when conditions improved.
2) The tables are clear and easy to use. Effect holdover time can be
confirmed through the following four aspects: type of the fluid, fluid
thickness (regarding TypeⅡde-ice fluid only), OAT, and weather
conditions (snow, freezing precipitation, etc.). The type of the fluid used
(TypeⅠand typeⅡ) shall be decided first when looking up the table.
The intersection of temperature/thickness (regarding TypeⅡde-ice fluid
only) column and weather column is the Effect holdover time.
3) The two tables provide the range of Effective holdover time
respectively. According to the conditions (i.e. severe, moderate, light),
dividing the time range by three will make the effect holdover time more
accurate (reference to the example under the table). According
experience, visibility may below 450m (1/4 nautical mile), between
450m (1/4 nautical miles) to 1850m (1 nautical mile), or more than
1850m (1 nautical mile) under different conditions of severe snow,
moderate snow or light snow respectively. From this rule we can know
that the decreasing of visibility is cause by snow, fog does not act as
assistant.
4) Summarizing the above, effective holdover time is an
approximation value, which affected by many factors. We can judge if
de-ice fluid has lost effect of preventing icing by check aircraft surface,
especially the wings upper surface. When aircraft surface becomes from
smooth and wet to snow or ice covering, TypeⅠde-ice fluid can not
protect the aircraft any more. This changing is comparatively fast. When
aircraft surface becomes from smooth and gluey to snow or ice covering,
TypeⅡde-ice fluid can not protect the aircraft any more. The changing
of TypeⅡis slower than that of TypeⅠ. When confirming TypeⅠde-ice
fluid losing effect, TypeⅡde-ice fluid shall be used after the aircraft
surface having been cleaned by heated TypeⅠde-ice fluid.
5) The effective holdover time tables are used as guidance. Exact
holdover time of de-ice/anti-ice fluid can be corrected according to the

Chapter 9 Flight Operation page: 9-3-24


Np:TJA-OP1
Flight Operations Manual Ver:1303-0
Rev:130709

runway conditions. Preflight de-icing inspection must be carried out if


the holdover time has expired.
6) For detailed de-ice/anti-ice holdover tables, refer to associated crew
supplemental material.
9.3.6 Runway condition information code

9.4 VFR/IFR Policy(CCAR121.665)


1) Normally all commercial flights shall be conducted under an IFR
Flight plan unless approved by Operation Departments of TJA. In some
area only short flight or part of flight segment can be conducted in VFR
and flight is non-revenue. 2) All kinds of flights must fill ATC flight
plan.
3) If the VOR navigation receiver is required by flight course, at least
one approved distance measuring equipment (DME) shall be equipped
in the airplane that can receive and indicates the distance. If DME fails
on the course, pilots shall inform the failure to ATC immediately when
such failure occurs.
9.4.1 IFR transferred to VFR
1) An aircraft electing to change the conduct of its flight from
compliance with the IFR to compliance with the VFR shall notify the
appropriate ATS unit to specify that IFR flight is cancelled. No reply
other than the acknowledgement ―IFR flight cancelled at ... (time)‖
should normally be made by the ATC.
2) When an aircraft operating under IFR is flown in or encounters VMC,
it shall not cancel its IFR flight unless it is anticipated, and intended,
that the flight will be continued for a reasonable period of time in
uninterrupted VMC (Require current meteorological reports or a
combination of current reports and forecasts to indicate that
meteorological conditions along the portion of the flight to be flown
under the visual flight rules will, at the appropriate time, be such as to
render compliance with these rules possible.).

standard.
2) During VFR fight, captain should:
Takeoff is not allowed, unless the current weather report or current
weather telegram and forecast indicate the VFR required route or weather
condition of part of route is accord with the requirement at proper time.
Inform ATC and perform ATC clearance if VMC flight is not
possible.
Stop VMC approach if visual contact is lost.
9.4.5 Instrument departure and approach procedure
1) Instrument departure and approach procedure must be performed that
is formulated by the country which owns the airport.
2) However, captain may accept the ATC clearance deviated from the
standard mentioned above, this clearance has considered the operation
conditions, abiding by the provided standard of obstacle clearance. The
final approach phase must be visual, or perform required by the
established ILS procedure.
3) Flight below MSA that marked in instrument approach chart is not
allowed unless approved approach or holding procedure is established.
4) As TJA does not operate visual circling approach, all description in
this Manual associated with circling approach are for study purpose
only.
5) Minimum standard for a certain specific type of approach and landing
procedure is regarded as appropriate, if:
(1) Ground equipments required by procedure in appropriate charts
working normally.
(2) Flight system working normally according to requirement of type
of approach.
(3)The required aircraft performance standard meet the requirement,
and Qualification of flight crew meets the requirement.
6) The minimum criterion of TJA must be accord with minimum
criterion published by administration authority.
9.4.6 Takeoff conditions
Before start of takeoff, captain must:
RVR on takeoff direction or visibility is equal or more than
appropriate minimum criterion. Planned runway condition should meet
the requirements of safe takeoff and departure.
9.4.7 Starting and continuing of approach
Captain must confirm the following conditions are met before the
start of approach and landing:
1)Weather conditions and planned runway condition of the airport

Chapter 9 Flight Operation page: 9-4-2


Np:TJA-OP1
Flight Operations Manual Ver:1303-0
Rev:130709

shall meet the requirement of safe approach, landing or going around


according to the obtained effective information and performance
information are fully considered in operational manual.
2) The decision of the landing rollout in flight shall be based on the
latest effective report; decision shall be made within 30 minutes before
landing is appropriate.
3) Captain or pilot flying shall start ILS approach without considering
reported RVR/visibility, outer marker or equivalent position is not
allowed to fly over when reported RVR/visibility is below appropriate
minimums criterion.
4) When reported RVR/visibility is decreased below appropriate
minimums criterion at outer marker or equivalent position, approach
may be continued to DA/H or MDA/H.
When there is no outer marker or equivalent position, captain or pilot
flying should make decision for continuing approach or abort the
approach before final approach phase and above 1000ft. If MDA/H is
equal to or above 1000ft, captain or pilot flying should set an altitude for
this approach. If RVR/visibility is below appropriate minimums
criterion, it is not allowed to fly below this altitude.
5) Continuing with approach to DA/H or DDA/H is allowed if sufficient
visual reference is obtained at DA/H or DDA/H and complete the
landing.
9.4.8 VFR and VMC limitation above cloud
1) Visual approach is prohibited in night flight.
2) Visual approach is prohibited when altitude is ≥20,000ft.
3) VMC is prohibited when above cloud.
9.4.9 Noise abatement procedure
1) Captain should be familiar with the noise abatement procedure at
departure airport and landing airport. The required airspeed, altitude,
configuration and thrust must be met under the condition that aircraft
may operate normally.
2) When it is not possible to abide by the noise abatement procedure at
departure airport and landing airport, captain shall report to ATC and
obtain the support from ATC.
9.4.10 Instrument flight rules or non terrain navigation route
visual flight rules operational radio equipment
1) When operating with instrument flight rules or non terrain navigation
route visual flight rules operation radio equipment, this airplane
should equipped with necessary radio equipment with normal
operation condition CCAR121.347 and should be quipped with 2
sets of independent radio system. Use any of the system could
receive the flight route and main navigation equipment and radio
navigation message with approach navigation equipment. Otherwise,
one set of beacon receiver is required to provide visual and audio

Chapter 9 Flight Operation page: 9-4-3

Flight Operations Manual Ver:1303-0
Rev:130709

information of instrument landing system receiver. The installed


equipment for receiving navigation information can also be used for
receiving approach information, only if it can receive these two
messages.
2) Flight with the low frequency radio message or ADF navigation, or if
the airplane is equipped with 2 VOR receiver and the navigation
equipment location and airplane fuel quantity, the airplane should
position the receiver or when the ADF receiver is failed, VOR
equipment should be used. Continuous flight or the suitable airport,
other radio system is used to complete the approach. So low
frequency radio position receiver.
3) When the navigation receiver is required by item a) and b), one
approved DME should be installed which can receive and indicate the
distance.
4) If DME is failed on the route, the pilots should immediately report the
malfunction to the ATC if this malfunction happens.

9.5 Altimeter settings procedure (CCAR-121.133(a)(22))


9.5.1 Types of altimeter settings
1) Altimeter settings are divided into 3 types:QNE (1013.25 hPa /
29.92 inHg) ,QNH and QFE 。
2) Each setting has a different altitude reading as indicated by the table
below. It depends on every specific reference data and obtains a method
of providing aircraft vertical altitude according to ICAO standard.

Altimeter setting Reference data Altitude


indication
QNE 1013.25 hPa / 29.92 inHg Flight level
QNH Local mean sea level pressure Flight altitude
Altitude
QFE Airport pressure above airport

9.5.2 Setting procedures


Flight crew should verify that the difference between altimeter settings
(primary altimeters, primary altimeter and airport elevation)is less than
75 ft. When an altimeter setting is set, each crew member shall call the
new setting value and crosscheck the setting value and altimeter
readings.
1) Airport with transition altitude and transition level
(1)Take and climb
a) Before takeoff altimeter set QNH or QFE(according to airport
procedure requirement)
b) When passing through transition altitude, set standard (1013.25
hPa).
(2) Cruising
a) Altimeter shall be set to the nearest airport QNH by left seat and
right seat when cruising altitude is below or equal transition altitude.
b) Altimeter shall be set to standard (1013.25 hPa) by left seat and
right seat when cruising altitude is above transition altitude.
(3) Descent
When passing through transition altitude, set the proper QNH or
QFE(according to airport procedure requirement)。
2) Airport without transition altitude and transition level
(1) Take and climb
a) Before takeoff altimeter set QNH or QFE(according to airport
procedure requirement)。

Chapter 9 Flight Operation page: 9-5-1


Np:TJA-OP1
Flight Operations Manual Ver:1303-0
Rev:130709

b) After takeoff, set standard (1013.25 hPa) according to ATC


clearance when passing through transition altitude。
(2) Cruising
a) Altimeter shall be set to the nearest airport QNH by left seat
and right seat when cruising altitude is below or equal transition altitude.
b) Altimeter shall be set to standard (1013.25 hPa) by left seat and
right seat when cruising altitude is above transition altitude.
(3) Descent
Set the proper QNH or QFE(according to airport procedure requirement)
before entering airport area or cleared by ATC。
9.5.3 Temperature corrections
(1) Deviation from ISA will lead to errors of altimeter reading.
When actual temperature is below ISA, actual altitude is below altimeter
indicated altitude.
(2) When consideration for terrain with obstacle is necessary and in
very cold weather, significant deviation may be produced between
indicated altitude and actual altitude. Actual correction may be
calculated when temperature deviation (cold) is taken into account and
altitude required to be corrected, flying with corrected higher altitude.
(3) Refer to 9.1.1.3 1 for details about altitude correction
9.5.4 Altimeter disagree in flight
1) If altimeters disagree happens in climb or cruising, the average
reading between two altimeters shall be used to decide flight level or
flight altitude.
Note:Not for RVSM airspace
2)If altimeters disagree happens in descent, the lower altimeter reading
shall be used to decide safety altitude and critical altitude. Altitude shall
be further checked using G/S indication when passing through outer
marker. Keep in mind: G/S may be unreliable.

9.6 Altitude alert system (CCAR-121.133(a)(22))


For callouts and procedures, refer to the associated SOP.
1)The function of altitude warning system is to alarm flight crew when
aircraft captures or is deviated from preselected altitude/flight level
using an auto trigger visual and/or aural signal. This system and its
function may be used in the whole flight to ensure the accuracy of
the selected altitude.
2)Altitude warning system is used to indicate approved altitude, not the
equipment to remind transition altitude or flight level or altitude
report.
3)According to different designs for altitude warning, the altitude alert
is 1000 feet before reaching the selected altitude/flight level. 1000
feet before the target, both pilots should normally call ―One
thousand to go‖. When the altitude is captured, PF calls out ―altitude
captured‖, PNF confirms the mode. At altitude hold, PF calls out
―altitude hold‖, PNF confirms the mode (refer to the associated SOP
for the standard callouts of each type of aircraft.).
4)During instrument approach, missed approach altitude must be set in
altitude window as soon as final approach is approved.
5)The use of altitude alert system does not relief the responsibility of
the pilot to level off or going to level off at correct altitude/flight
level.

1) Whenever an alert is triggered, flight crew should perform a
go-around immediately with the maximum climb performance.
Refer to the associated QRH and SOP.
2) It is not allowed to inhibit the GPWS warning by pilots at any time
during the flight, unless advised on a Chief Pilot Technical Advisory
or a GPWS malfunction is identified and the system is deselected as
required by the QRH.
3) A record shall be made on log book and made a flight crew active
report on SMS after landing whenever GPWS is triggered.

9.8 Air traffic collision avoidance (CCAR-121.133(a)(32)/356)


9.8.1 Air traffic monitoring
If weather condition permits, captain, first officer shall observe visually
the movement of conflict aircraft and take action to avoid. When
conflict is critical, the following actions shall be taken immediately to
avoid:
1) Change course
2) Change altitude
3) Adjust airspeed
4) Perform right side avoid principle
9.8.2 TCAS
1) TCAS is a backup (Safety Network) to visual collision avoidance,
application of Right-of-way rules and ATC separation. All aircraft
operated by TJA are installed with anti-collision system (TCAS), each
member of the flight crew shall receive training on how to use TCAS.
2) The flight crew’s timely and proper response to TCAS information is
the basic for TCAS working effect. It will seriously reduce or lose the
protection effect of TCAS if the flight crew does not follow TCAS
message to adjust flight path due to slow response, or afraid of
investigation afterward according to CAAC and the company’s
regulation, or other reasons. Therefore, flight crew is required to
response TACS alert according to the following instruction principle.
(1) Response to TA (Traffic Advisory)
Response to TA (Traffic Advisory) is designed to try to find the
intruding aircraft and other possible nearby traffic visually.
Coordinate the other crew members to search the approaching
traffic. Pilot should not deviate from the planned status based on TA
message only. For visual found aircraft, keep and set up safe
separation according to current flight regulation and correct operation
rules.
(2) Response to RA (Resolution Advisory)
a) When RA (resolution advisory) and ATC instruction conflicts,
the Pilot Flying must respond immediately to the RA indication and
maneuver as required.
b) According to the direction and value offered by TCAS,
immediately adopt correct control to satisfy RA requirement
(climb or descent at 1500 FPM in normal condition).
c) Respond the ―increase‖ or ―reversal‖ RA movement message

Chapter 9 Flight Operation page: 9-8-1


Np:TJA-OP1
Flight Operations Manual Ver:1303-0
Rev:130709

immediately. TCAS requires the initial vertical speed response


within 2.5 second of RA ―increase‖ or ―reversal‖ occurs. Avoid
the red arc light or indicated pitch avoidance area, fly to the green
arc light or indicated pitch guiding area.
d) Monitoring pilot should remind pilot flying when deviating
from TCAS indicated flight route. Pilot not flying and any observer
on aircraft should help search the intruder visually and constantly
crosscheck TCAS indication and other available traffic information to
ensure correctness of RA response to the flight.
e) If the initial RA is degraded or weakened (such as, climb RA degrade
to non descent RA), the flight crew should respond the degraded RA,
and correspondingly adjust aircraft vertical speed, and keep the
pointer or pitch indicator out of the red arc light or indicated pitch
avoidance area. The flight crew should notice that: careful observing
RA and quick response to weakened RA will minimize altitude
deviating and the potential affect to air traffic control, which will be
in favor of TCAS correctly solving traffic confliction but not
increasing or causing more troublesome messages such as ―reversal‖
or ―crossing‖, etc.
f) Over react to TCAS RA is not proper, since it will increase
interference to other traffic.
g) Sometimes it may be impossible to respond TCAS RA and comply
with ATC clearance at the same time. Respond the RA properly even
if a TCAS RA is not consistent with current clearance. TCAS can
track all the nearby traffic equipped with transponder, so response to a
RA caused by an intruder can ensure the necessary safe maneuver to
avoid the intruder and other traffic equipped with C Mode at the same
time.
h) If the movement required by the TCAS RA against Right-of-way
rules, VFR ―not enter cloud‖ rule, IFR or other similar rules, the flight
crew should follow the TCAS RA to solve the urgent traffic conflict.
Deviation from the rules or indicated altitude shall be minimized
under the premise of satisfying the TCAS RA.
i) If deviate from ATC clearance due to responding TCAS RA, return to
fly on current ATC clearance or according to ATC clearance changed
afterward when the traffic conflict solved or hearing TCAS ―clear of
conflict‖ signal. If deviate from indicated altitude due to responding
TCAS RA, the pilot should contact ATC immediately after

Chapter 9 Flight Operation page: 9-8-2


Np:TJA-OP1
Flight Operations Manual Ver:1303-0
Rev:130709

responding the RA if practicable. When the RA cleared, the flight


crew should inform ATC that they are back to the original required
status, or the corrected clearance has been received. The flight crew
may use other method to report as well.
j) If the TCAS RA conflicts with other cockpit warnings, those danger
warnings have passed TCAS audit and training verify (that is to say
response to stalling warning, windshear and GPWS take precedence
over TCAS RA, especially when aircraft above ground altitude below
760 meters (2,500 feet)).
3) Requirements
(1) Flight crew should use TCAS traffic information display to learn
the nearby traffic condition and help to observe other traffic
visually. When some electronic flight information system TCAS
working together with ―track up‖ mode, the flight crew is required
to consider the difference between aircraft heading and track when
visual observing traffic nearby.
(2) Unless approved by CAAC, flight crew is required to use TCAS
in all airspace flight, including ocean, international and foreign
airspace.
(3) If practicable, the flight crew shall use the same altitude data
source to provide altitude information to TCAS and ATC
transponder. Using public altitude data source will eliminate the
unnecessary RA caused by different altitude data sources.
(4) According to TJA policy, the flight crew should accurately report
TCAS encounter and system malfunctions to improve TCAS or
NAS (National Airspace System).
(5) TCAS will not change or reduce flight crew basic right and
responsibility for ensuring safety flight. Since TCAS cannot ―see‖
the aircraft that installed without or with fault transponder, using
TCAS solely cannot guarantee the safety separation in every case.
Other aircraft may disable to maneuver due to equipment
malfunction. Moreover, TCAS may issue RA in conflict with
terrain considered flight path requirement, such as during an
obstacle limited climb or during approaches into rising terrain.
Since many approved instrument procedures and obstacle clearance
requirement of instrument flight rules are designed to avoid
highland or obstacles, therefore it is very important for the pilots to
maintain altitude situation awareness and continue to use proper

Chapter 9 Flight Operation page: 9-8-3


Np:TJA-OP1
Flight Operations Manual Ver:1303-0
Rev:130709

control rules and sense. The flight crew should keep constantly
scan searching outside visually, carry out the principle of
―observing and avoidance‖, and continually contact ATC when
necessary and proper.
(6) All TCAS avoidance measures adopted should be reported to ATC.

9.9 Policy and procedure for fuel management in flight


(CCAR-121.133f(2)/555(a),(b))
9.9.1 General provisions
The fuel quantity before engine start is not allowed to be less than
the minimum fuel quantity required by TJA regulations.
Fuel shall be checked regularly in flight to ensure the fuel remaining is
not less than the required minimum fuel for flight. It may help captain to
find the possible fuel leak or the high rate of fuel combustion than
planned fuel.
9.9.2 Fuel check in flight
1) The following record and evaluation shall be made for fuel
remaining:
(1) Compare to actual and planned fuel consumption rate.
(2) Check fuel remaining is sufficient to complete the planned flight.
(3) Confirm the estimated fuel remaining at destination airport.
2) When computer flight plan is used for flight, flight should check
fuel regularly to monitor fuel (on waypoints, and at least every 30
minutes) and make notes on :
(1) Check time
(2) Fuel burnt
(3) Fuel remaining on board
(4) Fuel flow
Block fuel (fuel before engine start) minus fuel burnt, and compare to
the fuel remaining onboard. If there is no significant difference between
two values, the fuel remaining on board may be used. This way of fuel
monitor may help to find fuel leak, and provide a reliable foundation of
fuel data when fuel indicator fails or fuel used data loses. However, the
significant difference may occur even if no failure for fuel indicator or
no fuel leak for the following reasons (more than 1000 kg may exist on
some aircrafts):
(1) Fuel burnt on APU(150 kg/h)is not put into used fuel.
(2) Mistakes on fuel indicator
(3) Tolerance on fuel burnt indication
(4) The agglutination of water in fuel tank may affect the indication
of fuel indicator.
9.9.3 Fuel management in flight
1) Captain shall ensure the fuel remaining onboard is not less than the
required fuel that aircraft is able to fly to another airport and land safely,
without using the 30 minutes holding fuel.
2) If fuel is checked in flight and find that the planned fuel at destination
is less than the required diversion fuel +30 minutes holding fuel, captain
must consider continue to destination, or divert to an alternate,

Chapter 9 Flight Operation page: 9-9-1


Np:TJA-OP1
Flight Operations Manual Ver:1303-0
Rev:130709

or fly to the destination alternate and take the best solution to ensure
the fuel remaining on board is not less than the minimum fuel after
landing.
3) Flight with no specific alternate airport
A decision waypoint enroute for diversion shall be decided before takeoff.
Before reaching the decision waypoint, captain shall assess the fuel
remaining, weather condition, traffic and operation condition at
destination and decide continue to the destination airport or divert to an
alternate on route. Before reaching the last decision waypoint for
diversion, continuing with destination airport is not allowed unless ensure
the fuel remaining at the destination airport is not less than the required
fuel remaining for this type of aircraft, or two individually operated
runways are available at the destination and the weather condition at the
destination meet the minimum requirements.
9.9.4 Requirement for Minimum Fuel Remaining
The planned fuel at destination airport is not less than the required
diversion fuel +fixed reserved fuel.
If fuel is checked in flight and find that the planned fuel at destination is
less than the required minimum fuel, captain shall take the following
actions:
1) Change the planned flight route, altitude or cruising speed to
reduce the fuel consumption.
2) Select another alternate airport, this airport will reduce required
diversion fuel.
3) Assign a proper alternate and continue to destination in the range
of decision fuel range.
4) Change the planned landing airport (if the above methods are not
suitable)
9.9.5 Making new plan in flight
When planned operation condition has occurred, or other reasons
lead to the previous flight plan is not accepted or not valid, new flight
plan shall be made in flight. For example:
Weather or runway condition at destination and alternate is getting
worse.
Additional fuel consumption is required due to ATC or the change
of enroute wind.
Degraded flight performance
9.9.6 Minimum fuel operation(CCAR-121.555)
Minimum Fuel announcement by the captain to ATC is an indication
that an aircraft’s fuel supply has reached a state where, upon reaching
the destination, it can accept little or no delay. It is important to keep in
mind that a minimum fuel advisory is not an emergency; it is only an
advisory that an emergency situation is possible should any undue delay
occur. Its purpose is to provide ATC a precaution for possible

Chapter 9 Flight Operation page: 9-9-2


Np:TJA-OP1
Flight Operations Manual Ver:1303-0
Rev:130709

emergency.
1) When minimum fuel occurs, the captain should observe the following
rules:
(1) Announce Minimum Fuel to the ATC;
(2) Advise the ATC of the time to sustain in flight with the remaining
fuel;
(3) Continue the flight along the cleared route;
(4) Advise flight dispatchers that Minimum Fuel has been announced
(5) If flying in VFR or areas not covered by radar, report present
position and ETA.
2) Calculation of Minimum Fuel
Minimum Fuel refers to the specific minimum fuel quantity in flight
when the ATC must be advised to take emergency measures. It is the fuel
quantity that can provide the aircraft to fly 30 minutes with the holding
speed at 450m (1500ft) above the field elevation after reaching the
destination airport.
Refer to Annex 8 for holding fuel required for 3o minutes under different
conditions for E190, E145 and A320.
9.9.7 Emergency fuel operation
Emergency fuel operation procedure is to be used when the aircraft is
flying to the nearest suitable airport, and the captain has no other airport
or procedure available.
1) Emergency fuel status
(1) The aircraft is at the emergency fuel status if the following
conditions occur and the captain should declare an emergency:
a) The captain decides that the aircraft must direct to the
destination to land due to low fuel quantity at a certain point.
b) All the available methods for reducing fuel consumption have
been used, and no other delay is allowed.
(2)When the emergency fuel conditions occur, the captain shall:
a) Declare emergency fuel situation to ATC;
b) Standard callout: MAYDAY, MAYDAY, MAYDAY, XX
Flight is in emergency fuel condition, fuel remaining XXX, flight
timeXXXX (minutes)

9.10 Adverse and potential hazardous weather(CCAR-121.99(b) 、


(c) , (d) )
9.10.1 Thunderstorm
9.10.1.1 General
The intensity of the thunderstorm judged by the appearance is
insignificant because there is no actual connection between them.
Thunderstorm may be treated calmly by thorough understanding and
correct use of weather radar. In real life operation, we should always be
aware and keep in mind that is: ―any thunderstorm shall not be
underestimated, they are all dangerous.‖
9.10.1.2Meteorology information
1) Thunderstorm and related dangerous weather information will be
reflected in weather forecast and report, as well as various cloud charts.
2) When the coverage area of the thunderstorm is too wide, or with the
tendency of extension and threats the flight safety, the SIGMET will be
issued by weather information department, indicating the thunderstorm
movement area.
3) In addition, ATC request flight crew notify the actual weather
condition when such dangerous weather is encountered, these reported
weather condition is one of the composition parts of the dangerous.
4) The Meteorological Office does not issue SIGMET messages in
relation to isolated thunderstorm activity and the absence of SIGMET
warnings does not therefore necessarily indicate the absence of
thunderstorms..
9.10.1.3 Hazardous of thunderstorm
1) Never regard a thunderstorm lightly. Avoiding thunderstorms is the
best policy
(1) Don't land or takeoff in the face of an approaching
thunderstorm. Turbulence wind reversal or windshear could cause loss
of control.
(2) Don't attempt to fly under a thunderstorm even if you can see
through to the other side. Turbulence and wind shear under the storm
could be disastrous.
(3) Don't fly without airborne radar into a cloud mass containing
scattered embedded thunderstorms.
(4) Don't trust the visual appearance to be a reliable indicator of the
turbulence inside a thunderstorm.
(5) Do avoid by at least 20 NM any thunderstorm identified as
severe or giving an intense radar echo. This is especially true under the
anvil of large cumulonimbus.
(6) Do circumnavigate the entire area if the area has 6/10
thunderstorm coverage.
(7) Do remember that vivid and frequent lightning indicates the
probability of a severe thunderstorm.

Chapter 9 Flight Operation page: 9-10-1


Np:TJA-OP1
Flight Operations Manual Ver:1303-0
Rev:130709

(8) Do regard as extremely hazardous any thunderstorm with tops


35,000 feet or higher.
2) Thunderstorms concentrate every weather hazard to aviation into
one vicious package. The most important hazards are:
(1) Turbulence
Potentially hazardous turbulence is present in all thunderstorms.
Strongest turbulence within the cloud occurs with shear between updrafts
and downdrafts. Outside the cloud, shear turbulence has been encountered
several thousand feet above and 20 NM laterally from a severe storm. A
low-level turbulent area is the shear zone associated with the gust front.
Often, a "roll cloud" on the leading edge of a storm marks the top of the
eddies in this shear and it signifies an extremely turbulent zone. Gust
fronts often move far ahead (up to 15 NM) of associated precipitation.
The gust front causes a rapid and sometimes drastic change in surface
wind ahead of an approaching storm.
It is almost impossible to hold a constant altitude in a thunderstorm, and
manoeuvring in an attempt to do so produces greatly increased stress on
the aircraft. It is understandable that the speed of the aircraft determines
the rate of turbulence encounters. Stresses are least if the aircraft is held
in a constant attitude and allowed to "ride the waves".
(2) Icing
Supercooled water freezes on impact with an aircraft. Clear icing can
occur at any altitude above the freezing level; but at high levels, icing
from smaller droplets may be rime or mixed rime and clear. The
abundance supercooled water droplets makes clear icing very rapid
between 0°C and -15°C.
(3) Hail
Hail competes with turbulence as the greatest thunderstorm hazard to
aircraft. Supercooled drops above the freezing level begin to freeze.
Once a drop has frozen, other drops latch on and freeze to it, so the
hailstone grows. Large hail occurs with severe thunderstorms with
strong updrafts that have built to great heights. Eventually, the
hailstones fall, possibly some distance from the storm core. Hail may be
encountered in clear air several miles from dark thunderstorm clouds.
(4) Low ceiling and visibility
Generally, visibility is near zero within a thunderstorm cloud. The
hazards and restrictions created by low ceiling and visibility are
increased many fold when associated with the other thunderstorm
hazards.
(5) Effect on altimeters
Pressure usually falls rapidly with the approach of a thunderstorm, and
then rises sharply with the onset of the first gust and arrival of the cold
downdraft and heavy rain showers, failing back to normal as the storm
moves on. This cycle of pressure change may occur in 15 minutes. If the

pilot does not receive a corrected altimeter setting, the altimeter may be
more than 1000 feet in error.
(6) Lightning
A lightning strike can puncture the skin of an aircraft. Lightning has been
suspected of igniting fuel vapours causing explosion; however, serious
accidents due to lightning strikes are extremely rare.
Nearby lightning can blind the pilot rendering him momentarily unable to
navigate either by instrument or by visual reference.
Lightning can also induce permanent errors in the magnetic compass and
lightning discharges, even distant ones, can disrupt radio communications
on low and medium frequencies.
In the event of lightning strike, conduct the following procedure:
a) In flight, check of all radio communication and navigational
equipment and the weather radar.
b) Record the lighting strike in the technical logbook。
c) On ground, check
① compensation of the (standby) compass
② signs of damage on fuselage, wings, radome, empennage
antennas, pitot heads
③ all control trailing edges and static dischargers
④ radio and navigation equipment.
Lightning intensity and frequency have no simple relationship to other
storm parameters. But, as a rule, severe storms have a high frequency of
lightning.
(7) Engine water ingestion
Jet engines have a limit on the amount of water they can ingest. Updrafts
are present in many thunderstorms, particularly those in the
development stages. If the updraft velocity in the thunderstorms
approaches or exceeds the terminal velocity of the falling raindrops,
very high concentrations of water may occur. It is possible that these
concentrations can be excess of the quantity of water engines are
designed to ingest. Therefore, severe thunderstorms may contain areas
of high water concentration which could result in flameout and/or
structural failure of one or more engines.
9.10.1.4 The avoidance of adverse weather and handling principle
1) General principle
(1) Company policy
a) When weather report there is possible thunderstorm en
route or onboard weather radar check the potential dangerous weather is
encountered, aircraft may not be dispatched according to the instrument
flight regulation until onboard weather radar operates normally.
b) TJA principle is to treat every thunderstorm as
dangerous weather. Actions shall be taken as soon as possible to avoid
thunderstorm area when thunderstorm is forecasted or has been known.

Chapter 9 Flight Operation page: 9-10-3


Np:TJA-OP1
Flight Operations Manual Ver:1303-0
Rev:130709

c) Decision of dispatching aircraft shall be made by flight dispatcher and


captain together according to the weather information, especially the
latest weather report and forecast, analyzing the character of
thunderstorm, developing tendency etc, selecting the route to be avoided
and selecting alternate.
d) When thunderstorm is encountered in flight, captain must judge the
intensity of the thunderstorm, distributions, movement direction and
cloud base, ceilings, and make the decision of detour or return and
report the decision to ATC.
e) Flying into CB or TCU is strictly prohibited.
f) If detour is made to keep away from the thunderstorm, give full
allowances for turning and withdrawal and abide by the following
regulations:
① Only airplanes with weather radar operate normally can fly around
the thunderstorm.
②Deviations for weather can only be executed above the safety
altitude and the offset must not exceed the effective radius of navigation
equipment (except for the airplane with inertial navigation system); when
flying around the clouds, the distance from the airplane to the
thunderstorm must be less than:
◆ 5 nautical miles for the flight altitude 10000 FT.
◆ 7.5 nautical miles for the flight altitude 20000 FT.
◆ 10 nautical miles for the flight altitude 30000 FT.
When the airplane flies between two thunderstorm clouds, the distance
between two clouds should be greater than twice of the above distance.
Note: Increase the fly-around distance appropriately according to the
thunderstorm developing conditions and the moving speed.
③Deviations above or under the thunderstorm is prohibited.
④During takeoff and landing, the estimated takeoff, landing and
go-around track should be greater than 3 nautical miles from the
thunderstorm.
⑤ When the airplane flies into the thunderstorm area, it is unable to
carry out homebound flight and has to fly through the clouds, the flight
personnel must be composed and quick-witted. Concentrate on
instrument flight, do not get panic and abide by the following
regulations:
◆ Report to the ATC personnel immediately and get prepared for it
(check whether the safety belt is tightened, open the cabin lighting
equipment and so on);
◆ Fly through it at the appropriate altitude with comparatively mild
airflow; keep away from the cirrocumulus and zero isotherm area. The
true height of airplane should be more than 1000m;

Chapter 9 Flight Operation page: 9-10-4


Np:TJA-OP1
Flight Operations Manual Ver:1303-0
Rev:130709

◆ Keep flying with the turbulence flight speed that is specified


according to the airplane type;
◆ Pay attention to the flight position and keep contact with the
communication department on the ground. Try to fly at the selective
flight direction. Do not turn around with steep turns if it is necessary;
◆ Pay attention to the operation of the engine and apply anti-ice
equipment timely.
2) Flight crew handling
a) Requirements
Flight crew and flight dispatcher should try to avoid making the flight
plan in dangerous and adverse weather condition flight, taking into
account the weather condition and try to minimize the potential weather
risks when selecting altitude and flight route.
b) The aircrew should keep in mid their duty and make a report to
ATC department if there is potential hazard weather condition.
① Before departure and during cruise flight, the pilot should be
aware of the weather condition of the destination airport (destination
alternate, route alternate) and get to know the evolution of the weather
about the flight route, so that they can get prepared for the hazardous
weather condition and ensure flight safety.
② Once the airplane airborne, try best not to fly in thunderstorm
area or at the place with medium turbulence or above. However, if it can
keep away from the center of the thunderstorm by means of visual
reference or the meteorological radar, the captain can decide to detour.
③ If it encounters the bad weather with turbulence or above and the
captain is unable to keep it away from the center of the thunderstorm, he
should terminate flying as soon as possible.
④If the captain decides to detour in the area suffering with severe
thunderstorm, he must take into account the length of new flight route,
the terrain, the effective distance of the local navigational apparatus and
communication equipment with a view to the bad meteorological
condition.
⑤The captain should not manage to wait at the airport on the
meteorological condition of intense turbulence. The safety measure is to
fly to the alternate and wait for the applicable meteorological condition.
⑥As the vertical gust maybe endanger flight, the captain should
take a comparatively higher safety liftoff altitude in bad weather
condition or turbulence airflow.
(3) Application of Meteorological Radar
a) Dispatching requirements:
①According to CCAR.121.319, when the meteorological report
shows that the on-board meteorological radar has detected thunderstorm

Chapter 9 Flight Operation page: 9-10-5


Np:TJA-OP1
Flight Operations Manual Ver:1303-0
Rev:130709

or other potential hazard weather condition, the meteorological radar


must work normally, otherwise, nobody can dispatch flight according to
instrument flight rules.
②In instrument flight regulation conditions, when the
meteorological report shows oblivious thunderstorm or other potential
hazard weather condition exist, a normal onboard meteorological radar
must be working normally before flight is released. .
③If meteorological radar is not working probable, MEL/CDL shall
be consulted when alternate route may be used to avoid thunderstorm or
other potential hazard weather condition.
b) Requirement of route flying
①When there is thunderstorm to be forecasted or has been known
according to weather forecast, the on-board meteorological radar should
be used at any time;
②For the airplane with on-board meteorological radar, utilize the
radar to observe the cumulonimbus in the front, especially in the course
of the flight in the clouds, ascertain whether there is cumulonimbus in
other cloud layer. If the echo of the meteorological radar is very strong
and the bring light spot is in red, there must be strong cumulonimbus
and the airplane cannot fly into it, take detour measures immediately;
③During flight, if the radar is inoperative, select another flight
route to keep away from the hazard weather and continue flying only
with approval of ACT.
④During flight, once the airplane is in thunderstorm and the radar
is inoperative, the captain should comply with the Flight Operations
Manual and take corrective measures, fly with the airspeed required in
bad weather condition and observe other operation limits.
2) Departure and arrival
(1) When significant thunderstorm activity is approaching within 15
NM of the airport, the commander should consider conducting the
departure or arrival from different direction or delaying the take-off or
landing. Use all available information for this judgement, including
PIREPs, ground radar, aircraft radar, tower-reported winds, and visual
observations. In the terminal area thunderstorms should be avoided by
no less than 3 NM. Many ATC radars are specifically designed to
reduce or exclude returns from "weather" and in these cases little or no
assistance can be given by ATC.
(2) It is recommended that any guidance given by ATC should be
used in conjunction with the aircraft own weather radar, in order to
guard against possible inaccuracies in the ground radars interpretation of
the relative severity of different parts of a storm area. Any discrepancies
should be reported to ATC.

Chapter 9 Flight Operation page: 9-10-6


Np:TJA-OP1
Flight Operations Manual Ver:1303-0
Rev:130709

(3) Gust fronts in advance of a thunderstorm frequently contain high


winds and strong vertical and horizontal wind shears, capable of causing
an upset near the ground. A gust front can affect an approach corridor or
runway without affecting other areas of the airport. Under such
conditions, tower-reported winds and the altimeter setting could be
misleading.
(4) Microburst may also accompany thunderstorms. 2 NM or less in
diameter, microbursts are violent short-lived descending columns of air
capable of producing horizontal winds sometimes exceeding 60 kt
within 150 ft of the ground. Microbursts commonly last one to five
minutes and may emanate from high-based cumulus clouds
accompanied by little or no precipitation, or may be associated with
large cumulonimbus build-ups and be accompanied by heavy rainfall.
(5) Because of their relatively small diameter, airport anemometers
and low level windshear alert systems may not sense this phenomenon
in time to provide an adequate warning of nearby microburst activity.
3) En-route flight
(1) Requirement of route flight
a) When there is thunderstorm to be forecasted or has been known
according to weather forecast, the on-board meteorological radar should
be used at any time;
b) For the airplane with on-board meteorological radar, utilize the
radar to observe the cumulonimbus in the front, especially in the course
of the flight in the clouds, ascertain whether there is cumulonimbus in
other cloud layer. If the echo of the meteorological radar is very strong
and the bring light spot is in red, there must be strong cumulonimbus
and the airplane cannot fly into it, take detour measures immediately;
c) During flight, if the radar is inoperative, select another flight route
to keep away from the hazard weather and continue flying only with
approval of ACT.
d) During flight, once the airplane is in thunderstorm and the radar is
inoperative, the captain should comply with the Flight Operations
Manual and take corrective measures, fly with the airspeed required in
bad weather condition and observe other operation limits.
(2) Overfly thunderstorm
Avoid overflying thunderstorms unless a minimum of 5000 ft clearance
above the storm top is ensured. When possible, detour between the
storm cells of a squall line rather than directly above them. Keep the
radar antenna tilted down during overfly to properly assess the most
severe cells, which may be masked by clouds formations.
a) Lateral avoidance
At altitudes above the freezing level, supercooled rain and hail may

Chapter 9 Flight Operation page: 9-10-7


Np:TJA-OP1
Flight Operations Manual Ver:1303-0
Rev:130709

indicate as only weak radar echoes, which can mask extreme


thunderstorm intensity. Avoid weak radar echoes associated with
thunderstorms by the following minimum distances:
Altitude Lateral offset
10 000 ft 5NM
20 000 ft 7.5 NM
30 000 ft 10 NM
b) Flight near thunderstorms
If flight closer than the minimum recommended distances is
unavoidable, observe the following precaution:
① The safest path is on the upwind side. Although severe turbulence
and hail can be encountered in any direction outside a thunderstorm,
strong drafts and hail are more often encountered outside the body of the
cell on the downwind side.
Avoid flight under the anvil. The greatest possibility of encountering hail
is downwind of the cell, where hail falls from the anvil or is tossed out
from the side of the storm. Hail has been encountered as much as 20 NM
downwind from large thunderstorms.
Avoid Cirrus and Cirrostratus layers downwind from the storm tops. Such
layer may be formed by cumulonimbus tops and may contain hail, even
though the radarscope shows little or no return echoes.
② If ATC requirements make flight into unsafe conditions imminent,
the Commander should request a change of routing and if necessary use
his emergency authority to avoid the severe weather conditions. Captain
may use the emergency handling right to avoid or stay away from
dangerous weather when necessary.
③ Be attention to any flight in the vicinity of thunderstorms carries the
risk of a sudden severe turbulence.
c) Thunderstorm penetration
If thunderstorm penetration is unavoidable, the following guidelines will
reduce the possibility of entering the worst areas of turbulence and hail:
①Use the radar to determine the areas of least precipitation. Select a
course affording a relatively straight path through the storm. Echoes
appearing hooked, finger-like, or scalloped indicate areas of extreme
turbulence, hail and possibly tornadoes, and must be avoided since the
possibility of strong turbulence; hail even hurricane must be inside in
these areas.
② Adjust heading and penetrate perpendicular to the thunderstorm
line. Once inside the cell, continue ahead, a straight course through the
storm most likely get the aircraft out of the hazards most quickly. The
likelihood of an upset is greatly increased when a turn is attempted in
severe turbulence and turning manoeuvres increase the stress on the

Chapter 9 Flight Operation page: 9-10-8


Np:TJA-OP1
Flight Operations Manual Ver:1303-0
Rev:130709

aircraft.
③Pressure changes may be encountered in strong drafts and may
conduct to an altitude error.
④ Gyro-stabilised instruments supply the only accurate flight
instrument indications.
⑤ Avoid level near the 0°C isotherm. The greatest probability of
severe turbulence and lightning strikes exist near the freezing
level.
⑥ Generally the altitudes between 10 000 ft and 20 000 ft
encompass the more severe turbulence, hail, and icing
conditions.
⑦ Due to very high concentration of water, massive water ingestion
can occur which could result in engine flameout and/or structural
failure of one or more engines. Changes in thrust should be
minimised.
(3) Operation notices
If is not possible to avoid flying through or near to a thunderstorm, the
following procedures and techniques are recommended:
a) Approaching the thunderstorm area ensures that crewmembers'
safety belts are firmly fastened and secure any loose articles.
b) Switch on the Seat Belt signs and make sure that all passengers are
securely strapped in and that loose equipment (e.g. cabin trolleys and
galley containers) are firmly secured. Pilots should remember that the
effect of turbulence is normally worse in the rear of the aircraft that on
the flight deck.
c) One pilot should fly the aircraft and control aircraft attitude
regardless of all else and the other monitor the flight instruments
continuously.
Height for penetration must be selected bearing in mind the importance of
insuring adequate terrain clearance. Due to turbulence, wind shear, local
pressure variations the maintenance of a safe flight path can be difficult.
d) The recommended speed for flight in turbulence must be observed
and the position of the adjusted trim must be noted.
e) Autopilot shall be uses most likely in severe turbulence since the
autopilot is likely to produce lower structural loads and smaller
oscillations than would result from manual flight. The auto-thrust should
be disconnected to avoid unnecessary and frequent thrust variations.
f) Check the operation of all anti-icing equipment and operate all
these systems in accordance with FCOM instructions: "Operation in icing
conditions". Icing can be very rapid at any altitude.
g) Flight crew must apply or be prepared to apply the FCOM
procedures: "Operations in or near to heavy rain, hail or sleet", and
"Operation in windshear/downburst conditions".
h)Turn the cockpit lighting fully on to minimise the blinding effect of
lightning.。
i) Continue monitoring the weather radar in order to pick out the

Chapter 9 Flight Operation page: 9-10-9


Np:TJA-OP1
Flight Operations Manual Ver:1303-0
Rev:130709

safest path. Tilt the antenna up and down occasionally to detect


thunderstorm activity at altitudes other than that being flown.
9.10.2 Icing conditions
Icing conditions occur when low temperatures are accompanied by
precipitation. Icing of the aircraft is one of the most dangerous flight
hazards.
Refer to 9.3.4.2 1) for procedures for ―operating in icing conditions‖
9.10.3 Turbulence
Turbulence is defined as a disturbed, irregular flow of air with embedded
irregular whirls or eddies and waves. An aircraft in turbulent flow is
subjected to irregular and random motions while, more or less,
maintaining the intended flight path...The affects of turbulence for flight
can be summer up to 3 kinds: The first kind, the severe turbulence may
make aircraft out of control, the second kind, reduce the air input in the
engine inlet and make engine shut down in extremely severe turbulence;
the third is make flight crews and passengers feel tired, feel dizzy, feel
sick and vomit. Severe turbulence may make passenger die because of
bump. If the weather conditions and route forecast indicate that
turbulence is likely, the cabin crew should be pre-warned, and passenger
advised to return to their seats or be seated at the nearest seats available
and to ensure that their seat belts are securely fastened. Catering and other
loose equipment should be stowed and secured. When encountering
turbulence, pilots are urgently requested to report such conditions to ATC
as soon as practicable.

2) For Turbulence Handling Procedure please refer to Standard
Operation Procedures
3)Attach: Information for thunderstorm turbulence area
Turbulence area information for related troposphere is provided to TJA
operated all areas. Meteorology Department shall use various
aeronautical information source as the preparation measures for
thunderstorm turbulence area.
(1) Additional information source for domestic operation include:
a) Continuously updated radar chart;
b) Radar report from meteorology service department every hour.
c) Published turbulence area information for related troposphere
mainly refers to thunderstorm. Sometime the information published for
turbulence area may cause severe windshear or turbulence risk.
(2) Standard form
Domestic turbulence area information for related troposphere mainly
refers to development observation, and radar picture and radar report are
provided by the State meteorology bureau.
(3) Forecast and report procedure
a) The turbulence area information for related troposphere with
standard form shall be formulated by the professionals who is familiar
with meteorology picture and radar report and has the high flying
techniques.
b) Thunderstorm turbulence area information for related troposphere
shall be issued whenever the followings is observed or received:
maximum ceilings, the enroute area or approaching enroute area.
c) The turbulence area information required to be published: When
the speed of cloud mass is observed or expected to be 50 kts or higher,
shower turbulence area information shall be issued, because the fast
movement of air mass is approaching turbulence. If shower happens in
very dry air mass, the drops of rain and temperature change between air
masses are significant. Minor thunderstorm and connecting windshear is
easy to be produced in this situation.
Note: windshear and turbulence may exist only if convective movement
indicated by turbulence area information.
9.10.4 Windshear
Windshear is a rapid variation in wind velocity and/or direction along

Chapter 9 Flight Operation page: 9-10-11


Np:TJA-OP1
Flight Operations Manual Ver:1303-0
Rev:130709

the flight path of the aircraft. A missed approach must be initiated


immediately if a windshear caution or warning is triggered.
1) For windshear handling procedure, please refer to Standard
Operation Procedures.
2) Report when windshear is encountered:
When encountering windshear conditions, pilots are urgently requested
to report such conditions to ATC as soon as practicable in stating the
loss or gain of speed and the altitude at which it was encountered.
3) Low Level Windshear
(1) Defination: Low level windshear normally refers to the average
wind vectors about two points difference in between that normally
occurs below 600 meters. Three types can be divided:
a) Vertical windshear. Refers to the wind direction or wind speed
change between two points within a certain distance in the vertical
direction.
b) Lateral windshear refers to the wind direction or wind speed
change between two points in the lateral direction, for example, the
opposite windshear on the runway. Vertical windshear refers to the
change between two points in lateral direction for descending air flow.
(2) The characters and judgment of the low level windshear
At present, strong low level windshear is inevitable, the effective way is
avoidance. Though low level windshear is difficult to be judged,
indications are possible to be observed. Normally, the following
measures are used for judgment:
a) Visual judgments
The judgment for the signs of the low level windshear visually is the
effective way of judging low level windshear.
① Exterior air flow dust of the thunderstorm cold character. Dust
cloud is moved by the strong front air flow of the exterior air flow dust
of the thunderstorm, indicating the range and altitude of the exterior air
flow, the altitude presage the strength, normally dust cloud is followed
by strong windshear.
② The CB of the down burst thunderstorm is the important characters
of the strong downburst air flow, the lower of the CB, the bigger of the
individual size, the dimmer of the color, indicating the downburst of the
windshear is more stronger. Windshear changes complicatedly within 2
kilometers, accompanying with strong windshear normally.
③ Rolling sized cloud. In the cold front thunderstorm, the strong cold
exterior of the air flow may have vortex moving organization and
accompany with low level rolling sized cloud. Closing to the ground,
like a wall with dark grey color and accompany with dust cloud. If this
happens, it indicates there is strong low level windshear.
Judging by visual clue may be object and brief, but with limitations.
Some windshears don’t have obvious visual characters, for example the

Chapter 9 Flight Operation page: 9-10-12


Np:TJA-OP1
Flight Operations Manual Ver:1303-0
Rev:130709

inverse temperature windshear produced in clear skies, therefore, the


assessment should be measured by professional equipments.
b) Judgment by cockpit instruments
Flight instruments are indicated abnormally in case of encountering
windshear and accompany with aural warning.
① Airspeed indicator
Airspeed indicator is one of the most sensitive instrument when aircraft is
encountered windshear. Once the indication is not normal, should be
aware of the hazard of the windshear. Boeing stipulates that when the
airspeed indication changes 15-20 nautical miles per hour suddenly, it
should be regarded as windshear, and continuing with approach should
not be performed. When flying through downburst, airspeed increases
first due to headwind followed by the decreasing of the airspeed due to
tailwind, the significant fluctuation of the airspeed makes the judgment
mistake and control mistakes. Rejected takeoff should be performed when
it happens on ground.
② Altimeter
The normal descent altitude indicated by altitude is the importance data
for aircraft approach and landing. During descent, actions should be
taken immediately when altimeter deviates from normal rate
significantly in short time and pull up timely. When downburst is
encountered, temporary climbing may occur followed with the hazard of
altitude loss. Therefore, wrong judgment shall be avoided.
③ Vertical airspeed indicator
Vertical airspeed indicator is closely associate with altimeter, and reacts
obviously when encountered windshear. Boeing suggests when the
vertical airspeed indicator indication changes 500ft/minute in very short
time, it should be regarded as windshear, and appropriate actions should
be performed.
④ Pitch attitude indicator
Pitch angle is the important reference that pilots should know during
takeoff and landing. When windshear is encountered, pitch angle
indication change quickly, the more fast and significant for the change,
the more dangerous for the hazard. Boeing stipulates that when the pitch
angle indication change exceeds 5 degrees, it should be regarded as
windshear, and continuing with approach should not be performed.
(3) To avoid the known windshear
Low level windshear normally occurs around the 15 nautical miles
exterior range of the thunderstorm center, there are different
temperatures in the mass front, the windshear intensity is decided by the
moving speed of the mass front. According to the current wind speed
and gust, turbulence may be or not be associated with windshear. To
avoid the known windshear , the following actions should be taken
according to the windshear intensity, aircraft intensity and captain flying

Chapter 9 Flight Operation page: 9-10-13


Np:TJA-OP1
Flight Operations Manual Ver:1303-0
Rev:130709

skill etc:
a) Taking off should be delayed until conditions are improved when
strong windshear is confirmed:
b) During route flying, change heading in the vicinity of the known
windshear area;
c) Missed approach should be performed positively if the low level
windshear is known during approach, or diver to the alternate airport
until conditions are improved
(4) Measures of precautions for flight in low level windshear conditions:
Encounter windshear in flight is an extremely difficult and complex
problem. The time for pilots to react to control flight path until recovery
is very limited. For the quick and accurate reaction, the following
precaution measures should be followed when low level windshear is
forecasted and consider that the avoidance of windsear is not necessary:
a) Study weather forecast, be prepared mentally for the possible position,
altitude, and strength of the windshear.
b) Attention to listen to the ground metrological report and report from
other aircrafts, and reports during approach, studies the existence and
character of windshear, assess the risk for flying through windshear on
the flying aircraft and make correct decision. Normally, avoidance,
holding, diversion etc measures should be taken.
c) Crew coordination shall be stressed and make full use of the cockpit
resource. When flying in adverse weather, captain should organize the
responsibility sharing for the flight crew. Clearance on takeoff, approach
must be clear and brief. Flight crew should monitor flight instruments
from time to time, pay attention to any abnormal situation closely, fully
understand the runway environment, wind direction/speed, missed
approach procedure. Problems can be found and actions are able to be
performed immediately in case of any abnormality.
d) Do not attempt to fly through the severe windshear or strong
downburst area intentionally, especially in mountain area, low levels, or
single engine.
e) Keep distance with the strong downburst area. Outside downburst of
the thunderstorm may be exceeded the thunderstorm 20-30 kilometers
ahead. Do not fly through this area by luck.
f) If windshear is encountered on final approach phase, the proper
procedure shall be taken to go around to clear from windshear area
and join the holding or divert if only landing profile is not able to be
established;
g) If windshear is encountered, ATC should be reported immediately
about the windshear location, altitude, airspeed change range when
windshear is recovered in order to remind other traffics to fly into the
windshear, after flight finished, flight crew should report to company as
soon as possible using SMS format.

Chapter 9 Flight Operation page: 9-10-14


Np:TJA-OP1
Flight Operations Manual Ver:1303-0
Rev:130709

In addition, the knowledge about the windshear should be well trained


for the pilots, increase the understanding of the windshear, organize
flight crew to be trained in simulator as necessary and it is very
necessary to promote the handling ability for the windshear.
4) Considering for various flight phases:
(1) Takeoff:
a) Use full thrust for takeoff, not use reduced thrust;
b) Use most suitable runway that avoids the area of suspected low
altitude windshear;
c) Consider properly increasing the airborne speed of such type of
aircraft.
(2) Approach
a) Stabilized approach should be established no lower than 1,000
feet (300 meters) above ground level (AGL);
b) Avoid large power reductions or trim changes in response to
sudden airspeed increases as these may be followed by airspeed
decreases.
(3) Modification
a) Use most suitable runway that avoids the area of suspected low
altitude windshear;
b) Consider to increase approach speed.
9.10.5 Jetstream
1) On atmospheric layer, the speed of wind in troposphere is stronger than
the vicinity of the ground; there are three strong wind layers, calls jet.
They are all narrow range with extreme high speed. The maximum of this
jet may exceed 400 kilometers, the ranger may extend to thousands of
kilometers, and width reaches several nautical miles.
East wind jet on the tropics normally lies in the low latitude air range,
altitude is about 15000m, and its direction is from east to west. It happens
in next half years only (southwest monsoon season), and is limited to the
Southeast Asia, India and Africa of the north part of the earth, wind speed
exceeds 180 kilometres per hour. Subtropical zone lies in the subtropical
latitude area, altitude is between 12000 and 15000, and the direction is
from west to the east. It lies between south and north latitude 20°~35°,
wind speed reaches 345~385 kilometres per hour. Extreme jet lies in the
high latitude, altitude is about 11000 meters, and the direction is from
west to the east. It lies between south and north latitude 35°~65°, with
various paths, wind speed reaches 300 kilometres per hour. When enroute
tallies with jet flow, the flight time may be reduces significantly and save
fuel.
2) Jetstream is one of the key considerations during flight, because not
only the airspeed is significantly increased or decreased, but also
accompanying with turbulence, and affect the normal flight, so flying
into jet layers should be avoided.

Chapter 9 Flight Operation page: 9-10-15


Np:TJA-OP1
Flight Operations Manual Ver:1303-0
Rev:130709

3) On some routes, aircraft may make use of jet, but the possibility for
encountering the unexpected strong headwind when flying into high
level jet, pilot should be aware of the additional burnt fuel caused by
this.
9.10.6 Volcanic ash clouds
1) The hazard of volcanic ash clouds to aircraft: the volcanic ash clouds are
extremely harmful to the aircraft when flying in high level for long range flight.
Flying in volcanic ash clouds may cause failure of the flight instrument of static
system, serious damage to aircraft engines, control surfaces, windows and landing
lights, volcanic ash clouds may block static pitot system, and damage the sensor
which is used for transferring digital data to auto system. Engines are damaged by
volcanic ash impurities corrode and block, engines flame out may occur in serious
condition and endanger the flight safety. Trying best to avoid flying into volcanic
ash clouds in flight.
2) Important meteorological information for volcanic ash clouds: there has not been
volcanic eruption in china, but attention must be paid for the signs of the eruption.
Especially Chang Baishang Tianchi volcanic in Northeast area. In addition, volcanic
eruption on the route to America and Australia happens quite often, therefore,
contact should be kept closely with Earthquake department. we should pay attention
to collect the important meteorological information and transfer to the related
departments timely. At present, the WAFS system installed in aviation Beijing
meteorology centre may receive the important meteorological information about the
volcanic ash.
3) Measures taken by pilots for volcanic ash:
(1) Before takeoff, information about route volcanic eruption and volcanic ash
cloud should be obtained from navigation department. If the risk exists, the
important weather report about the volcanic ash should be required from
meteorological department, and study satellite cloud chart thoroughly.
(2)Keep alarm when flying in the known or reported volcanic ash area. When HF
interruption, static disturbing, high EGT on the aircraft occurs, indicating that
aircraft may fling into volcanic ash clouds, auto throttle should be disengaged to
prevent engine damage. If altitude is possible, reduce to idle thrust and clear
volcanic ash area as soon as possible.
9.10.7 Heavy precipitation
1)Heavy precipitation may occur as rain showers, snow showers and
hail. The greatest impairment to flight is the reduced visibility and the
risk of in combination with low temperature. Heavy precipitation can be
associated with significant downdrafts and windshear.
2)Effect from water ingested by jet engines
(1) Under given weather conditions, the water / air ratio absorbed by
jet engines is directly related to its performance and aircraft engine.
(2) This ratio is considerably increased at a high aircraft speed and
engines at flight idle (typical descent conditions).
This means that during descent, under heavy rainfall conditions, or

Chapter 9 Flight Operation page: 9-10-16


Np:TJA-OP1
Flight Operations Manual Ver:1303-0
Rev:130709

hail, significant ingestion of water may cause surging or extinction of


jet engines.
(3) Heavy precipitation can quickly lead to high levels of runway
contamination so runway clearance / drainage rate must be closely
monitored in order to assess if a diversion is necessary.
9.10.8 Sandstorms
Avoid flying in active sandstorms whenever possible. When on ground,
aircraft should ideally be kept under cover if dust storms are forecast or
in progress. Alternatively, all engine blanks and cockpit covers should
be fitted, as well as the blanks for the various system and instrument
intakes and probes. They should be carefully removed before flight to
ensure that accumulation of dust is not deposited in the orifices which
the covers are designed to protect.
9.10.9 Mountain waves
1) Mountain waves are caused by a significant airflow crossing a
mountain range.
2) On some airports, relief or obstacles may cause special wind
conditions with severe turbulence and windshear on approach or during
take off.
3) Special procedures or recommendations are indicated on airport
charts when appropriate. They must be taken into account by the flight
crews for the choice of the landing or take off runway.
9.10.10 Significant temperature inversion
9.10.10.1 Temperature inversion, the weather phenomenon
1) General
(1) In meteorology, air temperature at the earth’s surface is normally
measured at a height of about 1.20 metre (4ft) above the ground.
(2) All along the takeoff flight path, aircraft performance is computed
considering the altitude gained, the speed increase, but also implicitly
considering a standard evolution of temperature, i.e. temperature is
considered to decrease by 2°C for each 1000 ft.
(3) However, although most of the time, temperature will decrease with
altitude in quite a standard manner, specific meteorological conditions
may lead the temperature evolution to deviate from this standard rule.
With altitude increasing, marked variations of the air temperature from
the standard figure may be encountered. In that way, air temperature
may decrease in a lower way than the standard rule or may be constant
or may even increase with altitude. In this last case, the phenomenon is
called a temperature inversion.
(4) The existence of temperature inversion may particularly affect the
very lower layer of the atmosphere near the earth’s surface and make air
stable, the vertical movement in the air is inhibited.
(5) There are many parameters, which influence air temperature and
may lead to a temperature inversion. Close to the ground, air

Chapter 9 Flight Operation page: 9-10-17


Np:TJA-OP1
Flight Operations Manual Ver:1303-0
Rev:130709

temperature variations mainly result from the effects of:


a) Seasonal variations
b) Diurnal / nocturnal temperature variations
c) Humidity of the air
d) Geographical environment such as:
① Mountainous environment
② Water surface (sea)
③ Nature of the ground (arid, humid)
④ Latitude
⑤ Local specificity
(6) As a general rule, valid for everywhere, low wind conditions and
clear skies at night, will lead to rapid cooling of the earth and a morning
temperature inversion at ground level.
2) Radiating temperature inversion
(1) Radiating temperature inversion normally occurs in the clear
night or night with few clouds, ground becomes cold with radiation
energy editing, and the temperature of the air level closing to the ground
decreases as well. Since the air close to the ground is much more
affected, so the more temperature decreasing happens to the level close
to ground, and less temperature decreasing when far away from the
ground, and the temperature inversion for high temperature with high
altitude occurs. The thickness of temperature inversion is normally from
dozens of meters to hundreds of meters, it occurs on the continent in the
year, much often in winter. When sun rises, the ground temperature
increases, temperature inversion disappears.
(2) The conditions of temperature inversion forming: clear night (night
with few clouds) wind breeze (2-3m/second). This is because cloud may
reduce the effective ground radiation, and is not favorable to ground
cooling. When wind is very strong, the mixed effort is too strong to cool
the air layer close to ground; when wind calm condition, cooling
effectiveness may not extend to the higher air layers and not benefit to the
thickness of temperature inversion; only proper wind can make
temperature inversion properly and damage by the mixed efforts of
turbulence.
(3)The radiation of temperature inversion close to ground are normally
formed from ground around sun set. At night, temperature inversion
becomes thickness with the stronger of the radiation cooling and becomes
the maximums at dawn. It becomes disappearing on the ground when sun
rises. The thickness may be between dozens of meters and 300-400
meters, only several degrees difference between the upper point and
lower point, reaching 10-15 is very limited. This kind of temperature
inversion may happen in the medium and high level continent, especially
quite often in the desert area.
3) Stratosphere temperature inversion

Chapter 9 Flight Operation page: 9-10-18


Np:TJA-OP1
Flight Operations Manual Ver:1303-0
Rev:130709

(1) Stratosphere temperature inversion is formed when warm air flows


to the cold ground, the air level close to ground is significantly decreased
than the upper air flows because of the cooling of the ground.
(2) In wintertime, in the medium latitude seaside area, because of the
significant difference between sea and land, the strong stratosphere
temperature inversion may occur when warm air from sea flows to the
continent. This kind of temperature inversion is normally completed with
the form of advection fog.
(3)No matter in what conditions, flight crew report or weather report is
the best way for judging the temperature inversion.
9.10.10.2 Effect on aircraft performance
1) In the event of temperature inversion, the climb performance will be
affected in the cases where the thrust is reduced.
2) During a normal takeoff with all engines operative, the inversion will
have no effect since the actual aircraft performance is already far beyond
the minimum required performance.
3) Aircraft performance could be affected only in the event of an
engine failure at takeoff and a temperature inversion could become a
concern during the takeoff only in the following worst case with all of
these conditions met together:
(1) The engine failure occurs at V1, and
(2) Takeoff is performed at maximum takeoff thrust, and
(3) OAT is close to or above T.REF, and
(4) The takeoff weight is limited by obstacles, and
The temperature inversion is such that it results in the regulatory net
flight path margin cancellation and leads to fly below the regulatory net
flight path.
9.10.11 Altimeter error under other special conditions
1) Air pressure drops suddenly and causes altimeter indication error
when airplanes penetrate front or air mass in flight.
2) The wind speed increases when airplanes flies over some special
terrains, for example, flies through narrow and long valley and similar
terrain, which will cause the barometric pressure variation and altimeter
error.
3) When in doubt, the flight crew should ask ATC to verify the flight
level and correct altimeter error.

9.11 WAKE TURBULENCE


Every aircraft in flight generates wake turbulence caused primarily by a
pair of counter rotating vortices trailing from the wing tips.
Wake turbulence generated from heavy aircraft, even from those fitted
with wing tip fences, can create potentially serious hazards to following
aircraft. For instance, vortices generated in the wake of large aircraft can
impose rolling movements exceeding the counter-roll capability of small
aircraft.
9.11.1 TAKE-OFF AND LANDING
Turbulence encountered during approach or take off may be due to
wake turbulence. Aircraft turbulence categorisation and wake turbulence
separation minima shall be referred to flight separation regulation.
(H) Heavy: :Aircraft with maximum allowed takeoff weight is
equal to or above 136000 kilograms;
(M) Medium: aircraft with maximum allowed takeoff weight is
above 7000 kilograms and less than 136000 kilograms;
(L) Light: Aircraft with maximum allowed takeoff weight is equal to
or less than 7000 kilograms。
9.11.1.1 Separation time (no radar vector)
Wake turbulence separation minima given below define a minimum
separation time between two aircraft during take off and landing to cope
with wake turbulence (no radar vector):
1) Arriving aircraft:
(1) Medium behind Heavy aircraft: 2 minutes
(2) Light behind Medium or Heavy aircraft: 3 minutes
2) Departure aircraft:
The minimum separation time is 2 minutes (or 3 minutes if take off is
from an intermediate part of the runway) for a Light or Medium aircraft
behind a Heavy aircraft or for a Light aircraft behind a Medium aircraft.
Two parallel runways have no influence each others if they are
separated by more than 760 m and if the flight path of the second
aircraft does not cross the flight path of the preceding aircraft by less
than 300 m.
Departing and landing in opposite direction: The minimum separation
time is 2 minutes

9.11.2 IN CRUISE
Wake turbulence may be encountered in cruise, especially in North
Atlantic Track system where the aircraft flying in the same direction are
vertically separated by 1000ft.In this case, if considered necessary, the
pilot may offset from the cleared track by up to a maximum of 2NM in
order to alleviate the effects of wake turbulence. ATC should be advised
of this contingency action but will not issue clearance for any such lateral
offset. The aircraft should be returned to cleared track as soon as the
situation allows.

to the point that the cabins cannot make necessary preparations for
descent, the cockpit shall be so advised timely.
9.12.2.6 Before landing
Make sure the cabin has been prepeared before landing. When aircraft is
on final approach, two rings of ―fasten seat belt‖ (1second in between)
sign shall be made to remind cabin. If the cabin hasn’t been prepeared,
flight attendant should use two times rings to inform flight crew.
9.12.2.7 After landing
―Fasten seat belt‖ sign shall be switched off when captain in command
confirms engines are shut down, the clearance of disarm slide/separator
can not be ordered (if applicable) until the Purser confirms ―fasten seat
belt‖ goes off. Only after the slides/separators are disarmed can flight
attendants open cabin doors as required.
9.12.2.8 Ways for cabin crew to enter the cockpit
Push the cockpit interphone ring once and knock the cockpit door twice
and tell the flight crew the reason to enter the cockpit or as coordinated.
9.12.3 Announcement when delay

Chapter 9 Flight Operation page: 9-12-3


Np:TJA-OP1
Flight Operations Manual Ver:1303-7
Rev:140214

should go to responsible area quickly and wait for further instruction


from cockpit; when captain order ― emergency evacuation‖, flight
attendant should organize emergency evacuation quickly. Flight
attendant shall stay at stations when captain order ―cabin crew at
stations‖ and evacuation is not necessary.
b) Evacuation in abnormal situations
In the situation that cockpit has abnormal condition and purser is not able
to receive clearance in 30 seconds when interphone is pressed, the purser
has the right to perform evacuation in the followings:
① Uncontrollable smoke and fire.
② Fuel leak significantly.
③ Severe damage of the aircraft.
④ Water gets into the aircraft.
⑤ Abnormal noise, any condition that may endanger the
passenger’s safety
4) Hijack
The continuous 5 ring of ―cockpit interphone‖ indicate cabin hijack
occurs and is not convenient to talk to cockpit.
5) Communication during rapid decompression/emergency descent
The PIC should inform the cabin through PA ― Attention, crew,
emergency descent‖
6) Communication in case of pilot incapacitation

―Attention XXX, XXX is incapacitated‖

Note:
1) Any deviation from the communication mentioned above must be
based on the coordination among the purser, the security officer and
the captain as a minimum and the information must be transferred to
every crew member. Request all crewmembers to join the
coordination if condition permits.
2) During non critical phase of flight, cockpit shall be reported timely
when abnormal situation occurs in the cabin. (eg. Continuous rings,
call the cockpit or report to the cockpit, etc.)

9.13.6 Approach and landing((CCAR-121.133(a)(30))
9.13.6.1 Stabilized approach
When aircraft is flying at the required configuration, attitude, speed and
power setting along approach path( localizer and glide slope for ILS
approach), it is considered to be a stabilized approach. The criteria for a
stabilized approach is:
1) Precision approach: (CCAR-121.133(a)(27))
(1) At 1,000 ft, speeds are set and landing configuration is established.
(2) 500 ft above the touchdown zone, align the extended runway
centerline
(3)Descent rate below 1,000 FPM.
(4)G/S and LOC deviation within +/- one dot.
(5) When the aircraft descends to the DH(A), go around immediately if
no sufficient visual references are established.
2) Non-precision approach: For non-precision approaches, the descent
profile must be established strictly according to the published approach
charts. A constant descent profile is required for the last leg during the
non-precision approach. (CCAR-121.133(a)(27)
(1) VOR approach
a) After LOC capture and no later than 1500 ft AGL, the landing
configuration must be established and target speeds set;
b) Descent rate not higher than 1,000 FPM;
c) LOC deviation within +/- one dot;
d) When the aircraft descends to the MDH(A) and continue to the
MAP, go around immediately if no visual references are established.
(2) NDB approach:
a) After aligning with the final course, the aircraft must be stabilized on
a proper configuration and target speed;

Chapter 9 Flight Operation page: 9-13-18


No:TJA-OP1
Flight Operations Manual Ver:1303-5
Rev:131129

b) NDB course indicator deviation less than 5 degrees;


c) Descent rate not higher than 1,000 FPM;
d) When the aircraft descends to the MDH(A) and continue to the
MAP, go around immediately if no visual references are established.
3) Supplemental briefing
If two or more of the following conditions occur during the flight and
the estimated descent rate will be proximately 1000 ft/min or more, a
supplemental briefing is required and the approach may be regarded as a
stabilized approach: high landing weight, icing condition, high outside
temperature with airport elevation above 3000 ft, a tail wind landing is
required by the controller or airport conditions, the descent profile of the
approach procedure is greater than 3.2 degrees. If the descent rate is
unexpectedly greater than 1000 ft/min and is not decreasing, a
missed-approach must be conducted.
9.13.6.2 ILS approach
1) If PIC is a foreign pilot and a standard procedure that is not shown on
the JEPPSEN charts must be used for the approach, the first officer
should complete route entry in the FMC according to NAIP and explain
the routing to the PIC who will otherwise request radar vector. The
flight crew should always ensure that FMC route data is consistant with
NAIP standard procedure and departure and arrival are flown according
to ATC clearance (refer to preflight procedures in SOP manuals of
related aircfaft type). If any discrepancy occurs between the Jeppesen
charts and the CAAC charts about the landing minima, the CCAC charts
shall prevail.
2) Landing configuration must be established or approach must be
stabilized on final approach speed before descending to 1000 feet AGL.
3) If the received weather condition lower than the minimum landing
condition before the aircraft flying over the outer marker (OM), stop
approach.
4) If the received weather conditions lower than the minimum landing
condition after the aircraft flying over the outer marker (OM), the
captain is entitled to continue the approach to decision height or the
minimum descent height (altitude).
5) Report altitude between initial approach fix and final approach fix
during ILS approach.
9.13.6.3 Visual approach
The flight crew should be able to see the ground continuously at
specified area to ascertain aircraft position relative to the airport.
Landing configuration must be established or approach must be
stabilized on final approach speed before the aircraft descending to 150
meters (500 feet).

minimum weather condition can satisfy the lowest standard the
company regulated. Pilot must land the aircraft at the specified area
(touchdown zone).
3) The runway can be used only when the surface condition consists
with the regulation in Flight Crew Operation Manual, crosswind
limitation data should implement according this manual.
4) The captain should follow the regulations in this manual when the
aircraft encounter or expected to encounter turbulence, low altitude
windshear, icing or thunderstorm.
5) Approach and landing should comply with the regulated procedure.
Touchdown point and air speed above the runway should be considered.
And implement noise abatement procedure if necessary. The noise
abatement procedure is regulated in Flight Crew Operation Manual.
6) During night and ILS approach, the pilot flying should concentrate on
maintain and correcting landing data, and give command in different
phases.
9.13.6.7 During night and ILS approach, pilot monitoring should assist
pilot flying complete following items: (CCAR-121.133(a)(31))

3) One-Vote-Down System during Approach & Landing:
During approach and landing, due to reasons of weather standards,
unstable aircraft condition, and under the pre-condition of not
violating the special situation handling requirements in the related
manual, the whole flight crew should immediately initiate the missed
approach procedure, after either of the cockpit flight crew members
sends out the go-around callout explicitly. (The effects of go-around
callout are equal to the captain’s decision.)
Note: The crew member should observe the requirements of
go-around condition strictly, and is by himself responsible for
the callout sent out.
4) The pilot must conduct missed approach procedure according to the
one published in the instrument approach chart or ATC instruction. If a
go-around is required when has not arrived the Missed Approach Point

9.15 MEL and CDL(CCAR-121.133(b (3))/(s) )


9.15.1 Malfunction Bulletin
1) If there is malfunction in the flight course, the captain should notify
the operation control center as soon as possible and report the
designation and place of the failure system in detail.
(1) On ground, the aircraft may not continue flying unless performed
according to MEL/CDL related regulations.
(2) Checklist shall be strictly performed in flight.
2) The maintenance log record should indicate the failure repaired or the
reserved items.
3) After the operation and command center receives the report, it should
record relevant ATA chapter number and flight limitation in the flight
plan, so that the airplane will not be arranged for scheduled flight in
complicated conditions and the airworthiness maybe debase. Afterwards,
the operation control center should notify the maintenance personnel to
verify the fault coverage and the influence to the airplane airworthiness
and perform maintenance work.
4) If there is no record of the maintenance work in maintenance log
record, the captain cannot accept the airplane and continue flying.
9.15.2 Minimum Equipment List (MEL) and the Application of CDL
9.15.2.1 Operating Instruction of MEL/CDL
1) Minimum Equipment List (MEL/CDL) is the minimum release
standard of airplane when some equipment abnormally operates and the
airplane is permitted for further flying under special circumstances and
in the premise of flight safety to strive for normal flight and according to
the performance and design allowance of different type of airplanes. As
long as it conforms to MEL/CDL and correctly operates, the fight safety
can be guaranteed.
2) MEL not only includes Minimum Master Equipment List (MMEL)
but also CDL. All the original data come from airplane manufacturer.
3) In Minimum Equipment List, Q stands for the corrective measures
taken by flight crew, M represents for the special maintenance operation
procedure of the airplane with failure items. The procedure is compiled
by the maintenance personnel of the company or the entrusted
maintenance personnel appointed by the company. All MEL/CDL
aircrew and flight personnel should take part in relevant training and be
familiar with the requirements and procedures.
4) MEL/CDL used by the Company is coordinated by the Operation
Control Dept. The Flight Dept. and the Maintenance & Engineering
Dept uniformly organized by the Operation Control Dept. complete
compilation, formulation and revision of the MEL/CDL and so on.
Finally MEL/CDL will not become effective, till the Operation Control
Dept. submits it to and approved by the CAAC after it was submitted to
the Executive Vice President of the Company by who has approved after

Chapter 9 Flight Operation page: 9-15-1


No:TJA-OP1
Flight Operations Manual Ver:1303-0
Rev:130709

the Chief Pilot, Chief Engineer and Operation Control Dept. General
Manager have countersigned the agreement.
9.15.2.2 Basic Requirement of the Correct Application of
MEL/CDL
1) The time limit of the retained malfunction in MEL/CDL cannot
exceed the specified standard unless specially approved.
2) When the aircrew and the maintenance personnel have different
opinion about the airplane release standard of MEL/CDL, the chief pilot
and chief engineering makes the final decision after consult.
3) MCC should report all MEL/CDL retained failure to the operation
control centre before the flight completes, which the aircrew should be
aware of and it happens after flight with limitation conditions. If it
happens before flight or stopover with limitation conditions, MCC
should timely notify the operation control centre. The captain should
make preparation strictly according to special requirements.
4) MEL/CDL is not the maintenance standard for all types of airplanes
of the company, and it is not the foundation for airplane airplane
operation with failure for a long time. It is the minimum release standard
in special period. Do not apply MEL to debase maintenance standard
and try to positively improve maintenance quality so that the airplane
flies in optimum airworthiness state.
9.15.2.3 MEL/CDL Fault Processing Program
1) The aircrew should record the failure in flight course in Technical
Logbook. The operation control centre of the company should notify
maintenance and engineering department if necessary. During turning
around, the maintenance personnel may reserve the fault on Technical
Logbook conforming to MEL/CDL, the aircrew can carry out the
airplane operation according to special procedures with the
already-known reserved items. For the reserved items not conforming to
MEL/CDL, they must be solved by the maintenance personnel with
license and the airplane can only be released when it conforms to release
standard.
2) During post flight, the MEL/CDL retained failure should be handled
by maintenance technical release personnel of the maintenance
engineering department according to Management Manual of
Maintenance Engineering Department. When malfunction removal is

1) Under the condition not influencing normal flight operation, TJA
requires the captain to carry out passenger address. There is captain
broadcasting script in the onboard material as a reference.
2) It is suggested to use the hand microphone inside the cockpit for
captain broadcast. However, the utilization of broadcasting equipment
should be based on the passenger‟s listening effect. Thus flight crew
should test the broadcasting equipment before each flight to ensure
broadcasting and listening effect.
3) The captain broadcast should be in both mandarin and English. It is not
limited to one flight crew member to carry out the broadcast.

10.6 Handling Principle and Procedure of Dangerous Passenger


10.6.1 Definition of Harmful Passengers
The Harmful Passengers are the ones who refuse to obey the aviation
laws and regulations with rude and dangerous actions and can offend the
other passengers and the aircrew members by words or actions.
10.6.2 Law References
As for the illegal activities of the Harmful Passengers, the Civil
Aviation Law of China, the Aviation Security Regulations and the Public
Security Management Regulations of China have some relevant
provisions.
10.6.3 Harmful Passenger Classification
They can be divided into three types:
1) The Harmful Passengers without fatalness: They are the ones of
exercising bad behaviors or sexual harassment and saying some bad
words.
2) The Harmful Passengers who violate the aviation security regulations:
They are the one of refusing to stop smoking after the no-smoking light
has been on, smoking in the toilet, demolishing the smoking detector,
refusing to fasten the safety belt after the indicator light has been on,
using the banned electronic devices, damaging the equipment on board
and drinking the alcohol-containing liquid not provided by the
attendants.
3) The criminal passengers: They are the persons who attack, steal,
intervene the regular work of the aircrew, carry weapons without
permission, use or carrying the restricted articles, hijack, damage the
equipment with intention etc.
10.6.4 Handling Principles of Harmful Passengers
1) The problem should be found and solved as early as possible to avoid
deterioration.
2) Treat the Harmful Passengers properly to avoid deterioration.
3) The good communication techniques are very important to deal with
the Harmful Passengers. The acceptance of the passengers‟ complaints
will also be helpful because everyone needs to do so from time to time.
Under which circumstance, the problem can be solved very soon
without any further measures.
4) The aircrew members cannot solve the problem by means of
intimidation (for example, telling the passengers that they are going to
call the policemen to force them out of the airplane or take some
other legal measures) because this will result in the deterioration. They
ought to tell the passengers the aftermath of their improper activities
with gentle words. Try to aim at the activities, not the passengers
themselves.
10.6.5 Flight crew In-flight Handling Techniques
1) Turn on the seat belt sign to make the passengers returning to their
seats spontaneously.
2) If there is unrest of a crowd, the aircrew should not leave the pilot‟s

Chapter 10 Passengers and Cargo page: 10-6-1


No:TJA-OP1
Flight Operations Manual Ver:1303-0
Rev:130709

compartment. They can do some broadcast work to these passengers


with proper words and try to avoid the anxieties of other ones.
3) Consider using the employees of the company and the extra crew to
solve the problem. But they should be in uniform.
4) Before leaving the pilot‟s compartment to solve the problem in the
passenger‟s compartment, they should figure out the flight phase, status
and how much time they will leave. Time and condition permitted, the
copilot or the observer can go to solve the problem if there are three
pilots altogether while in the critical phase nobody can leave the
cockpit.
10.6.6 Harmful Passenger Handling Procedures
If the passengers are performing or going to perform some dangerous
activities that will harm the security of the airplane, other passengers and
the aircrews, any employee of Tianjin Airlines Co., LTD has the
responsibility to adopt any rational measures (including removing or
stopping) to ensure the security.
1) Before the Flight
(1) If a passenger continues his rude or hazardous activities, the purser
has to inform the pilot-in-command in time.
(2) The flight attendants can inquire the officers at the boarding gate if
they have noticed the rude and anomalous activities of the
passenger.
(3) The last measure, namely the removal of the passenger, can be
adopted only when he insists on staying aboard and will threaten the
security and the normal operation of the airplane. Whenever this
measure is adopted, the pilot-in-command should consult with the
ground tower control center and get contact with the local police
stations. However, the pilot-in-command will be responsible for the
safety of the flight and has the authority to determine whether to
keep the passenger on board or not. After the removal the passenger,
the pilot-in-command has to write out a flight security report and
the head of flight attendants ought to record the details in the Flight
Log.
2) During the Flight
(1) If the Harmful Passengers are found during the flight, the
attendants should inform the pilot-in-command immediately.
(2) The purser should brief the pilot-in-command about the Harmful
Passengers. A good contact between the attendants and the pilots is
an effective basis to ensure a secure operation.
(3) If necessary, the aircrew members can inform the operation control
center and the destination aerodromes.
(4) The flight attendants should get ready to solve the problem without
the assistance of the pilots through good communication skills and
flexible methods.
(5) Asking for the help of other passengers is the last choice because

Chapter 10 Passengers and Cargo page: 10-6-2


No:TJA-OP1
Flight Operations Manual Ver:1303-0
Rev:130709

this may cause much more uneasiness.


(6) The aircrew members cannot leave the pilot's compartment on the
spur of the moment to solve the problem, especially when there are
only two members in the compartment. In order to solve the
problem, they can usually change the landing time or ask for the
help of the work staff of the company or the pilots in uniform of the
temporary aircrew. If the flight aircrew consists of three members,
the pilot-in-command can appoint one of them to enter the
passenger's compartment and solve the problem after figuring out
the essence of the problem, the flight phase and status as well as
how much time it will take.
(7) The continued flight toward the destination aerodromes is the best
choice. If the problem is serious, the pilot-in-command can contact
the ATC and the Operation Control Centre to determine whether
changing the flight route or not.
(8)Based upon the information provided by the flight attendants, the
pilot-in-command will determine the help in need after landing.
According to his notification, the ground personnel can coordinate
the local police stations to deal with the incident.
(9) Before the landing, the pilots will provide the ground information
of the destination aerodrome to the purser.

Passengers. Before this, the flight attendants should ask all
passengers to stay in their seats.

report on this incident and submit it to the Safety Supervision Dept.
of the company

damage the bodies of others. Any activities with the nature of threat or
stroke can be regarded as the effective assault. As it is, the assault will
be accompanied by the activities that can disturb the operation of the
aircrew.
2) No appeasement for the assault is the principle of the company. Any
employee suffered from the assault will get the help of the company.
3) During the flight, any hazardous activities of the passengers will be
stopped.
4) If the assault happens, the purser or the security officer should report
the pilot-in-command immediately. After getting his approval, they can
take some compulsory measures against the Harmful Passengers and
turn over them to the police officers after the landing:
(1)The report of the assault is very important. The departments
concerned will make full investigation on the report and get as

11 Flight Crew Emergency Procedures


11.1 Emergency Situation
11.1.1 General (CCAR-121.535/133(m))
11.1.1.1 Requirements
1) The pilot-in-command shall take it as an emergency situation
whenever an abnormal method or procedure has to be taken in the
face of direct or indirect threat to flight safety and when it is
necessary to deviate from the methods, procedures and minimum
standards.
2) Refer to ―Emergency and non-normal situation‖ in this manual for
definitions.
3) Any component or system failure that would affect flight safety shall
be considered as emergency situation. If any of the AFM emergency
procedures is to be accomplished, announce emergency.
4) The pilot-in-command shall advise ATC and the Company operation
control center about his intention and flight progress, if possible.
5) The pilot-in-command has the power to deviate from normal control
procedures and flight standards in emergency case in order to
guarantee the safety of aircraft and passengers.
6) Whenever there is an emergency, the flight crew should inform
cabin crew and make a PA announcement in Chinese and English.
The PA announcement must be performed by the pilot in command
(or any other crew member designated by the pilot in command) if it
is associated with any emergency affecting flight safety.
7) When the pilot-in-command decides to announces emergency, he
shall set the transponder to 7700 to transmit emergency telegraph
containing such information as flight number, aircraft current
position, flight altitude, nature of emergency and the action being
taken or to be taken.
8) The flight crew manages the abnormal situations properly via using
the following methods: priority seqencing, task share, the PNF/PF
duties division, crew coordination.
11.1.1.2 Distress Call
1) A distress refers to the situation that the aircraft requires immediate
rescue work due to serious threat or impending threat.
2) The frequencies for distress call are: present air/ground frequencies,
VHF121.50MHZ or HF2182KHZ. MAYDAY is an international
distress signal and has priority over all other transmissions. Any
aircraft who is transmitting this signal means it is in serious danger
or emergency situation.

Chapter 11 Flight Crew Emergency Procedures page: 11-1-1


No.:TJA-OP1
Flight Operations Manual Ver.:1303-0
Rev.:130709
3) Ways of Transmitting Distress Messages and Contents thereof:
(1) MAYDAY、MAYDAY、MAYDAY
(2) Name of station (if time and condition permit)
(3) Call sign and Aircraft type
(4) Nature of distress (such as engine fire)
(5) Current position, flight level, heading and speed.
(6) Number of people on board
(7) Intention of pilot-in-command
4) When the aircraft is in an emergency, it means the safety of the
aircraft and its occupants or personnel in the visual range is affected
but does not require an immediate rescue.
Transmit PAN PAN three times in an emergency. The difference
between an emergency call and a distress call is whether it will
endanger flight safety. For example, when one engine fails on a
double or multi-engine aircraft, use PAN PAN, PAN PAN, PAN
PAN which indicate a potential threat. When two or more engines
fail, use MAYDAY MAYDAY MAYDAY.
5) Emergency call:
(1) PAN PAN, PAN PAN,PAN PAN
(2) Name of station
(3) Call sign and Aircraft type
(4) Nature of emergency (e.g. Any person onboard with heart
attack and needs first aid )
(5) Current position, flight level, heading and speed
(6) Intention of pilot-in-command

11.1.1.3 Decision-making of the pilot-in-command


1) The pilot-in-command has the final determination power throughout
the flight. His highest responsibility is to ensure the safety of all
people onboard. He is entitles to handle any emergency situation in-
flight. In order to take the safest action, he shall listen to other crew
members’ opinions as much as possible.
2) When he thinks its necessary, he shall require assistance from ATC
without hesitation, and submit a written report to the VP Operation

Chapter 11 Flight Crew Emergency Procedures page: 11-1-2
No.:TJA-OP1
Flight Operations Manual Ver.:1303-0
Rev.:130709
(three rings, two times, with a 2-second interval) to the cockpit
immediately. Use the emergency call if installed.
2) When the needs to advise the cabin of any emergency, make two
three-ring calls (three rings, two times, with a 2-second interval) for
which the purser shall immediately enter the cockpit. Use the
emergency call if installed.
11.1.1.5 Guidelines
1) This chapter is a guideline to the flight crew for the handling of
emergency and special conditions. In emergency situation, use
information from the indication of failure or crew altering system to
analyze and determine which procedure is applicable. Of the entire
basis to deal with the failure, the one that has the priority is QRH,
among which memory items and reference items are the actions to
be taken, but at different times. Memory items are by-heart items
that require correct actions without reading the QRH. Reference
items are read and do items that require to be performed according to
the QRH one by one.
2) This chapter does not include emergency and non-normal checklist,
only requires the implementation of QRH procedures, but it is
impossible to consider everything in special conditions, especially
with additional bad weathers. In this case, the pilot-in-command
shall make a better use of the resource to take the safest actions.
3) For the emergency situations occur during departure (takeoff and
climb out ) when using the emergency procedure the crew must pay
attention to the following problems:
(1) Do memory items and emergency procedures only after safe
altitude with stable aircraft attitude.
(2) In case of engine failure or shutdown during climb, always
consider return to the departure airport first unless weather
conditions require to alternate to the nearest suitable airport.
(3) Do not turn before minimum maneuver speed or limit the bank
within 15°if it is necessary to turn. After the incident,
accomplish the following procedures:
a) Report to the the Company Safety Supervision Dept.,
Operation Control Centre and ATC.
b) Turn off the voice recorder.
c) Evacuate everyone out of the aircraft
d) Provide first-aid to the injured
e) Keep unrelated people away from the affected area before
the incident is fully intervened by CAAC and local
authority.
Chapter 11 Flight Crew Emergency Procedures page: 11-1-3
No.:TJA-OP1
Flight Operations Manual Ver.:1303-0
Rev.:130709
f) Do not move or disturb the wreckage or items except for
the following purpose and make records if possible:
① To rescue the injured;
② To prevent the danger from being deteriorated;
③ To prevent the aircraft or wreckage from being further
damaged;
④ To protect the neighboring building, facility and people.
⑤ To prevent the incident from developing;
⑥ When the incident is under investigation, the flight crew
has the responsibility to assist CAAC investigator
throughout the investigation.
11.1.2 Emergency Evacuation (CCAR-121.133(f(10))
11.1.2.1 General
1) The term Emergency Evacuation refers to a measure adopted by the
flight crew on the ground when an emergency situation takes place
so as to guarantee the safety of or to reduce the fatalities of on-board
personnel. When the pilot-in-command has decided to make an
emergency evacuation, he shall make a briefing to all crewmembers
and passengers if time permits to let them well prepared, which is
the key to complete emergency evacuation successfully. The flight
crew shall determine which exits to use for emergency evacuation on
different occasions.
There are two kinds of emergency evacuation: one is on the ground,
takeoff is aborted and personnel onboard are not directly endangered.
The flight crew has no time to make any preparation for an
emergency evacuation. Another one is in the air; the aircraft has to
be landed immediately to ensure the safety of on-board personnel.
The flight crew has the time to make some preparation in the and
cabin for an emergency evacuation.
11.1.2.2 Principles of Emergency Evacuation(CCAR-121.133(f(1))
The pilot-in-command has the final decision on initiating emergency
evacuation and he must initiate emergency evacuation in following
conditions:
1) Fire or smoke onboard, cannot be extinguished or removed;
2) Severe fuel leak;
3) Serve damage to the fuselage;
4) Whenever the safety of onboard personnel may be jeopardized.
Note: if the pilot-in-command is incapacitated, first officer shall

Chapter 11 Flight Crew Emergency Procedures page: 11-1-4


No.:TJA-OP1
Flight Operations Manual Ver.:1303-0
Rev.:130709
make the decision; if the first officer is also incapacitated, other
crewmembers or the purser shall make the decision. If all flight
crew and the purser are incapacitated, the flight attendant whose
qualification and experience is the best among all others shall make
the decision. Once the flight crew has decided to initiate the
emergency evacuation, the flight attendants shall open the exit(s) in
15 seconds and make sure the slides are inflated and ready for use.
All occupants should be evacuated within 90 seconds if on land and
no more than 13 minutes on water. If emergency evacuation is not
necessary, the pilot-in-command shall announce: all cabin crew,
wait for further instruction!
11.1.2.3 Responsibilities of flight crew
1) Pilot-in-command: when any special situation which needs
emergency evacuation occurs, the captain should inform the purser
of being ready for the emergency evacuation. The captain should
notify the purser of the emergency situation nature and the cabin
preparation time available, and then the captain gives a brief notice
using the Passenger Address, informing the passenger of the
emergency situation nature and the steps to be adopted. Notifies the
ATC of the determination of the intention of emergency evacuation
after landing, and requests the emergency aid. When at the altitude
of 500 ft, the flight crew will inform the passenger and the flight
attendant through the PA that the aircraft is landing soon in order to
ensure everybody has prepared for impact.
2) Other flight crew: obey pilot-in-command’s decision, instruction and
arrangement, and assist him in emergency evacuation procedures.
3) Cabin crew: the purser is the commander of the cabin crew. She and
her cabin crewmembers must execute all commands from the pilot-
in-command. If time permits, the cabin crew shall make sure that
there are passengers with ability at the emergency exits to assist the
flight attendants in helping other passengers out. Passengers shall be
advised to leave all sharp objects in their baggage. All baggage and
articles are secured and impact attitudes are demonstrated. The
purser shall inform the pilot-in-command when all the preparation
work is finished.
4) For the handling, sees the QRH and SOP of various airplane types.

11.1.5 Emergency evacuation procedure
11.1.5.1 Emergency landing
Emergency landing may occur with or without warnings beforehand.

Chapter 11 Flight Crew Emergency Procedures page: 11-1-16


No.:TJA-OP1
Flight Operations Manual Ver.:1303-0
Rev.:130709
In some cases, there is enough time for preparation and landing is usually
successful. In many other cases, there is not enough time for preparation,
therefore it is important to have well-trained pilots control the aircraft and
land decisively.
Following is a general description of flight crew’s duties and actions
during emergency landing:
1) Before landing
(1) Pilot-in-command: confirm the nature of emergency and advise
the ground personnel. He shall brief with the first officer and
flight attendants on the following things:
a) Nature of the emergency
b) Time left
c) Signal for impact posture

d) Note: monitor the preparation work for the flight crew and
passengers, and make sure that escape and fire fighting
equipment are ready. Shortly before landing, send a signal
through the PA system, with a flashing light or any other
pre-agreed signals to remind the flight attendants and
passengers.
(2) First officer: complete the basic duties assigned by the pilot-in-
command. Depressurize the aircraft, open door, secure loose
items and assist flight attendants in cabin preparation. Shortly
before landing, the first officer shall turn on the emergency
light and set switches as appropriate.
11.1.6 Search for trapped personnel (CCAR-121.535/133(m))
11.1.6.1 General description
When the airplane is in danger, contact the local civil aviation authority
and local people’s government, carry out the emergency
rescuing according to the prescribed ―aircraft search and rescuing
scheme‖.
11.1.6.2 Civil aircraft search and rescuing scheme includes:
1) The units that will carry out search and rescue with aircraft or ship,
the type of aircraft and ship and routine preparation.
2) The airport and harbor used by the aircraft and ship, the search and
rescue area and associated supporting work.
3) The coordination between the ship and aircraft executing search and
rescue on the sea.
4) If the civil aviation search and rescuing strength are not sufficient,
the garrison can support with aircraft and naval vessels.
5) Refer to (the Company) Emergency Handling Procedure Manual.
11.1.7 Regulations on overweight landing.
The basic principles for overweight landing are stipulated according to

Chapter 11 Flight Crew Emergency Procedures page: 11-1-17


No.:TJA-OP1
Flight Operations Manual Ver.:1303-0
Rev.:130709
the AFM, QRH and various special conditions that require overweight
landing.
11.1.7.1 Types of overweight landing:
1) If the airplane can not continue the flight safely, land immediately;
(1) Uncontrolled fire or smoke in the airplane;
(2) Severe damage on the fuselage and aircraft components;
(3) Severe malfunction of control, hydraulic pressure, electrical
equipment or fuel system;
(4) The communication or navigation equipment is damaged to
such an extent that it may influence approach and landing;
(5) Bomb, terror threat, unclear dangerous goods or leakage of the
dangerous foods severely endangers the safety of the
passengers, flight crew or flight;
(6) The passengers or the flight crew members come down with the
sever illness which endangers the life and need to immediately
see the doctor;
(7) Other emergency situations required in the QRH to land at the
nearest airport;
(8) Immediate landing is required by the ATC controller;
(9) Other emergency situations in which immediate landing will
relieve the threat to the safety.
2) The airplane loses 50% thrust
(1) The demonstrated vertical speed under the maximum landing
weight on this aircraft is 600FPM. If the structure is not
damaged, it can sustain 360FPM under the maximum allowable
takeoff weight. Therefore, normal landing at 200-300FPM
descending rate will not damage the structure.
(2) It is recommended to land at the nearest airport for this aircraft.
(3) Circling at low altitude for too long to consume the fuel may
cause the further deterioration of the situation.Long time
circling to lose the fuel may bring more negative report to the
airlines by the media;
(4) Low altitude circling to cost the fuel will cause unnecessary
economic loss.
11.1.7.2 Requirement:
1) Before the execution of overweight landing, must confirm that the
landing weight is lower than the landing weight limited by the
runway condition or go around climb limitation weight.
2) The overweight landing procedures for the specific type of aircraft
must be observed.
3) Pilot-in-command has the final decision on the execution of
overweight landing.

requirement of flying for 30 minutes at 450 m (1500 ft) above
aerodrome elevation in holding airspeed after arriving at the
destination, the stipulated fuel flow indication system error should be
considered.
Emergency Fuel: at a certain point, when the captain defines that the
aircraft requires a direct to the destination for an immediate landing
due to low fuel quantity and announce Emergency Fuel. It is an
emergency which clearly requests a priority from ATC.
Usually, the flight crew announces Minimum Fuel first and then in the
event of any unduely delay; the captain should announce Emergency
Fuel.
11.1.8.2 The responsibility of the pilot-in-command
1) Declare ―minimum fuel‖ or ―emergency fuel‖ to ATC
2) Standard expression: ―MAYDAYMAYDAYMAYDAY, Flgiht
XX in emergency fuel, remaining fuel XXX, capable flight time
XXX (minutes) ‖
3) Continue to fly the route agreed by ATC;
4) Advise company flight dispatcher that minimum fuel or emergency
fuel has been declared;
5) If the flight executed is visual flight or flight without radar
monitoring, report the current position and ETA.
11.1.8.3 Disposal
1) If the remaining fuel quantity is not enough to land at the required
airport in the route manual, land at another suitable airport if it is
safe;
2) If the remaining fuel quantity is not enough to land at the above
described airport, emergency landing can be carried out lower than
the Company minimum weather standard;
3) Keep contact with ATC and the Company Operation Control Centre;
report the situation in the airplane and the intention of the captain.
11.1.8.4 Ground support
1) Operation Control Centre should immediately inform the flight crew

to the flight crew the handling information.
11.1.13 Responsibilities in emergency situation
11.1.13.1 Responsibilities of the pilot-in-command
1) The pilot-in-command has the highest power to command or guide
any person onboard during flight and can take necessary actions in
emergency situation. At the same time, he is also responsible for safe
settlement of the emergency situation. But this final decision power
does not mean the pilot-in-command can decide everything at his
own discretion and neglect other crewmembers’ suggestion. He
should consider other flight crew members’ opinions.
2) The pilot-in-command should adopt the safest measure according to
the temporal situation. Continuously notify ATC, rescuing
departments and the Company Operation Control Centre on the
related emergency situation information including the aircraft
position, flight environment, planned measures and the suggestions
of the personnel needed help and the ground personnel.
3) Under the emergency situations, the pilot-in-command can use his
power to take necessary actions and should quickly report his
intention and the actions he takes to ATC and the Company
operation control centre
4) After the emergency situation disposition is completed, the pilot-in-
command should immediately forward a written report on the
emergency situations and the actions taken to the General Manager
of the the Company Flight Department, Operation Control Centre
and Safety Supervision Dept. after he arrives at the base.
11.1.13.2 Responsibilities of the flight crew
The flight crew members should take emergency measures under pilot-in-
command’s guide, control and eliminate emergency situations.
11.1.14 Emergency situation disposal power
11.1.14.1 Pilot-in-command’s disposal power
1) After taking various factors and conditions into consideration, if the
Chapter 11 Flight Crew Emergency Procedures page: 11-1-21
No.:TJA-OP1
Flight Operations Manual Ver.:1303-0
Rev.:130709
Pilot-in-command considers the emergency situation exits or the present
situation may cause emergency situation he shall announce emergency.
2) In the process of the emergency situation disposal, the pilot-in-
command should contact ATC and the the Company Operation
Control Centre and inform them what measures are taken and how it
is going on.
3) During emergency, in the action of transporting the personnel or
properties so as to protect human life or properties to the hilt, the
captain has the right to deviate any normal operational procedure,
weather minimum or rules and regulations; Should report the
accident or serious accident which causes personal injuries, the death
or the serious airplane damage, to the Authorities, the Company, the
Flight and Operation Departments in the quickest way. But within 24
hours after initiating this kind of operation, the Captain must submit
a situation report of taking the deviation action to the Company 01
Duty Personnel, who must submit to the Authorities the report

11.2 The handling of forced landing
11.2.1 Ditching
11.2.1.1 Successful ditching depends on three main factors. It can be
divided into the following according to its importance:
1) The sea condition and the wind.
2) The airplane type.
3) The skill and technique of the pilot.
11.2.1.2 Common oceanography terminology
1) Sea surface: the surface that produces waves
2) Billow:The surface condition produced by partial wind.
3) Wave: The surface condition produced by long distance welter.
4) The wave surface: The wave faces the observer; the wave surface is
opposite to the observer. This definition is applicable whichever the
orientation the wave moves.
5) Main wave: The series of waves with maximum height from the
wave apex to wave vale.
6) Auxiliary wave: The series of waves below the height of the main
wave.
7) Voyage: The passing distance of the wind without obstruction which
is blown by the constant wind.
8) Wave cycle: The time cost of some point in the water passing
through two continuous wave apexes. (In seconds).
9) Speed vector of wave: The magnitude and orientation is usually
calculated in NM/h to a fixed reference substance. There is small
variation in the horizontal orientation. The wave moves in the
vertical orientation like the movement of the blanket which has been
vibrated.
10) Wave Orientation: Refers to the moving orientation of wave, this
orientation is not always the certain result caused by spot wind. The
wave may be involved in or overpass partial wind. Once the wave is
formed, it will move ahead along the forming orientation. It will not
stop moving only the deep water stops moving, no matter what the
wind orientation altered.
11) The wave height: Wave apex and wave vale is accounted by feet,
most of wave is lower than 12 and 15 feet, the wave higher than 25
feet. Continuous wave has distinctively variation in height.
12) Descend: descend by standard instrument approach.
11.2.1.3 The choice of place
1) When ditching on the sea, the pilot-in-command should have a basic
evaluation of the sea condition. The choice of a good ditching
orientation in the sea can greatly reduce the damage and casualty.
Forced landing upwind without the consideration of the sea
condition is very dangerous. The wave system or multi-wave
systems must be considered, the pilot-in-command must avoid
Chapter 11 Flight Crew Emergency Procedures page: 11-2-1
No.:TJA-OP1
Flight Operations Manual Ver.:1303-0
Rev.:130709
ditching direct to the billow. The pilot-in-command should avoid
ditching at the billow directly;
2) When ditching parallel to the wave, touch down the water at the
wave apex or wave vale is of no difference. Make the best to touch
down at the wave apex or the rear side of wave. The stronger upwind
course should be chosen after the flight course which is parallel to
the wave has been decided;
3) If there is only one wave system, it is much easier. But in most cases,
there are two or more different orientation wave systems. The offing
seems to be disordered with one wave system. One of the most
difficult situations is two wave systems form the right angle. For
example: if one system is 8 inches high, calculate to land parallel to
the main system and land at the auxiliary system vale. If the two
systems are in the same height, the 45 angle with the two systems
can be a suitable orientation. When touching down the auxiliary
system, make best to touch the back of the wave but not direct to the
water;
4) If the wave system is very huge, bigger crosswind can be considered
in order to avoid touching down the water directly;
5) Auxiliary wave system is always the same orientation with the wind.
Touching the water here parallels to the main system and forms an
angel to wind and auxiliary system. Two orientations can be chosen
which parallels the main system: one is parallel to the wind and
auxiliary wave; the other is upwind and faces the auxiliary wave.
The choice lies in the wind speed relative to the height and speed of
the auxiliary wave;
6) The condition that the airplane touches down the water will be very
different according to the difference of the sea condition. The
airplane condition will be nearly the same as the steady offing if it
parallels to the single wave system. If landing at the billow or
disorder surface, the decelerating power may be very huge and that
will disassemble the airplane. To some extent, the pilot can
maximum reduce the force by correctly evaluating the or choosing
the force landing orientation;
7) In the final approach stage, the pilot should watch offing ahead,
shadow or white wave is the sign of vast offing, and the offing is
narrow and billowy if the shadow and white wave is very close.
Avoid touching down in this surface of this area and choose to touch
down the water not dense shadow and white wave area (about 150
m);
8) Make sure that ditching at the safely controlling the airplane and the
minimum speed and descending rate of best bouncing pitch up
attitude. Generally the pilot can not control the airplane once
bouncing at the first time.

No.:TJA-OP1
Flight Operations Manual Ver.:1303-0
Rev.:130709
11.2.1.4 Ditching
1) Once the pre-ditching preparation work is finished, the pilot should
set forced landing heading and start to descent. Maintain low altitude
closw to water and reduce speed as recommended in AFM. Increase
power to overcome the drag caused by high pitch angle. If the water
ahead is calm, shut down the engines and touch down at a speed
closer to Vstall. The pilot should avoid excessive action to
reduce the possibility of bouncing and avoid the second uncontrolled
touching of the water;
2) Most experienced pilots prefer to touch down in half-stall condition
and shut down the engines on contact of water with the tail. This
technology can reduce the possibility of judging the altitude wrong
and heavy landing at the stall condition. Notice that do not drop the
airplane at the high altitude or float due to the large speed;
3) When landing on the quiet and slippery water surface or when there
is not enough light in the evening, keep enough power and maintain
9-12 degrees of pitch up and ditching at the speed of 10% to 12%
above the stall speed;
4) It is important to use the power correctly, use little power to keep the
approach flare if only one engine power is available. But the engine
(one or several) should within this limitation: there is sufficient
margin from the airplane starts turning to the operative engine to
stall. When it is close to stall, excessive and unbalanced thrust will
lead to loss of oriental control. If only one engine power is available,
the approach speed should be larger than normal to keep a good
control of the aircraft and speed margin without large power.
5) It is very important to use power during ditching. Therefore, if it is
impossible to reach the land and ditching is required, the pilots shall
make a ditching before fuel is burnt out. It is even more important to
use power at night or instrument ditching than in the day time.
6) If thrust is lost, use a larger speed than normal until flare. Speed
margin will stop gliding earlier and smoother, which leaves more
time for the pilot to feel the touching down, reduce the possibility of
stall at a high altitude or diving the water with a pitch down attitude.
When touching down the water parallels to the wave, there’s no
difference to touch down the water at the apex of the wave or the
vale of the wave. Keep the airplane wing parallel to the offing not
parallel to the horizon; it will reduce the possibility of breaking the
wing when the wing strikes the apex of the wave. Actually, the
gradient of the wave is always very calm. If it has to touch down the
water direct to the wave, touch down the water when the apex
disappears. If touch down the water under the wave, the airplane
may be submerged or thrown to the air again and drop into another
wave. If the control surface is effective, the pilot should keep the
Chapter 11 Flight Crew Emergency Procedures page: 11-2-3
No.:TJA-OP1
Flight Operations Manual Ver.:1303-0
Rev.:130709
suitable pitch attitude which the nose is above the horizon by the
control system.
11.2.1.5 After touching the water
1) Generally the position deviation should not be considered.
Huge outside force imposed on the airplane after touching down the
water, so deviation is a subordinate factor. If the airplane control
system operates normally, any deviation of the path before ditching
can be compensated by the rudder. It is especially important to the
high wing airplane because the horizontal control extremely unstable
ditching at the crosswind. It leads to horizontal control failure and
falls into the water.
2) After ditching, the pilot-in-command should organize the flight crew
members to accommodate the passengers and protect the airplane
and documents. Without the permission of the pilot-in-command,
any flight crew member must no make mold to leave the airplane.
The pilot-in-command should leave the airplane last and complete
the cabin cruise as possible as he can before he leaves the airplane.
3) Ifpossible, the flight crew should use every
communication means and timely report to the ATC or the
Company Operation Control Dept.. The the Company Operation
Control Centre should immediately report to 01 person on duty and
the Company Safety Supervision Dept.
11.2.2 Forced landing on the earth
11.2.2.1 General
When the flight crew can not land safely according to normal procedure,
the pilot-in-command could determine to force landing. Before execution,
the forced landing position (if possible) should be reported to the ATC
and the Company Operation Control Centre.Before forced landing, the
pilot-in-command should command the flight attendants to notify the
passengers of the notices and complete the emergency evacuation
preparation.
11.2.2.2 Forced landing in mist
The pilot-in-command must control and slowly descend at the minimum
descending rate according to the instrument flight rule. During descent,
the altitude above ground will be urged according to radio (or baro)
altitude altimeter indication.
11.2.2.3 Forced landing at night:
Choose perfect forced landing area as possible as he can, take every
means to judge the direction of the wind and connect the landing lights as
early as possible in order to get necessary help. Pay attention to the flare
prior touchdown to avoid the bump with glide angle or stall fall.
11.2.2.4 The factors should be considered for forced landing:
The pilot-in-command makes his best to select forced landing at the
airport. The following factors should be considered if landing outside the
Chapter 11 Flight Crew Emergency Procedures page: 11-2-4
No.:TJA-OP1
Flight Operations Manual Ver.:1303-0
Rev.:130709
airport:
1) In the less populated area: make best to close to the residence area,
road and lake, carry out upwind.
2) In the marsh and forest area: choose floral denseness area, keep the
minimum allowable speed process upwind.
3) In the frozen lack surface or river areas: choose the area which is
close to bank without snow pile, drumlin or moves to the orientation
of drumlin.
4) In the dune area: keep the minimum allowable speed along the ridge
line of the dune.
5) In the mountainous area: moves slantingly up to the hillside.
6) Before the forced landing, pay attention to keep some fuel for the
observation of terrain and go around.
11.2.2.5 Prior force landing preparation and after force landing
procedure.
1) If possible, the pilot-in-command should appoint one pilot not
directly take part in forced landing to help the flight attendant in the
cabin in forced landing preparation.
2) The chief purser reports to the pilot-in-command by the interphone
system of directly entry into the flight deck that the forced landing
preparation has been completed.
3) After forced landing, the pilot-in-command should organize the
flight crew members to accommodate the passengers and protect the
airplane and documents. Without the permission of the pilot-in-
command, any flight crew member must not leave the airplane. The
pilot-in-command should leave the airplane last and complete the
cabin cruise before he leaves the airplane as possible as he can.
4) If possible, the flight crew should make every communication means
to report what happens to ATC or the Company Operation Control
Centre. the Company Operation Control Centre should immediately
report to the Company 01 person on duty or the Company Operation
Control Centre.

11.3 The handling of fire
11.3.1 General
1) Fire may happen any time during operation. Fire can directly
endanger the safety operation of the airplane. Although sometimes
the fire is not severe in the airplane, if not handle properly will lead
to severe results. Therefore all crew members should always alter the
possibly happened fire or smoke in every flight. Knowing the
category of the fire, getting acquainted with the fire extinguishing
procedures and fire extinguish points are of vital importance.
2) Some kinds of fire need different fire fighting measures and using
the wrong fire extinguisher have no benefit at all. For the safety of
the passengers and flight crew, crew members should know the
classification of fire and associated measures.
3) The toxic gas produced by the smoke can directly hurt the personnel
onboard, the flight attendant should lower the body, cover the breath
of mouth or nose by hand or cloth(clothing, small towel, coif, wet is
better), that will prevent inhaling harmful gas.
4) No matter what kind of fire happens, the pilot-in-command should
announce emergency situation and timely report to ATC and report
the Company Operation Control Centre if time permits, so as to to
get necessary support.
11.3.2 Universal handling of fire
11.3.2.1 Fire classification
1) Type A: Flammable things such as paper, timber, fiber, rubber,
plastic, etc. Water extinguisher is effective to extinguish the fire on
these substances. Soak with water (H2O) to avoid ―flashback‖.
2) Type B: Flammable liquid like gasoline, oil, grease, solvent, paint,
etc. The flammable substances should be covered to make it not
open to the air; it is effective to use BCF (HALON-1211) Halon fire
extinguisher bottles.
3) Type C: Electrical fire and the reason of the fire: motor, switch,
galley equipment, electrical equipment, creep age or short circuit.
Non-electric extinguisher should be used in these situations. Halon
extinguisher is most effective. All the electrical equipment should be
cut off before putting out the category C fire. Pay attention to the
instructions on the extinguisher:
(1) Using the extinguisher wrongly brings nothing good but harm.
For example: B, category C fire extinguisher efficiency is not as
good as water extinguisher. Water to flammable liquid is just
like oil to fire. Use water for electrical fire will cause electrical
attack on fire fighters or short circuit of the electrical equipment.
(2) When portable extinguisher is discharged in the or the sealed

Chapter 11 Flight Crew Emergency Procedures page: 11-3-1


No.:TJA-OP1
Flight Operations Manual Ver.:1303-5
Rev.:131129
scope, the crew members should use the oxygen masks and
100% oxygen in order to avoid harming by the toxic gas.
11.3.2.2 The available extinguishers in the airplane
1) Halon extinguisher bottles: applicable to any kind of cabin fire.
2) Mask: Wear to prevent invasion of smoke and toxic gas.
3) Axe: For the use of cleaving equipment.
4) Smoke goggle: to protect eyes and keep good vision.
5) Asbestos gloves:To protect hands from being burnt.
11.3.2.3 Common fire extinguishing procedures
Whenever there is fire, the person who observes the fire first is the
one primarily responsible for fire fighting. The flight attendant shall
inform the cockpit as soon as possible and form a three-person team,
with one fighting the fire, one responsible for communication and the
third one for assistance. (On EMB145 aircraft, a two-person team
should be formed immediately, with one responsible for fire fighting
and the other one for communication and assistance.)
1) Responsibilities of the fire fighter
(1) Observe the development of fire
(2) Use the appropriate extinguisher and mask
(3) Extinguish the fire immediately
2) Responsibilities of the reporter
(1) Inform the pilot-in-command via interphone on fire condition,
such as the color, smell and density of smoke, fire source and
scope, the effect on passengers and actions taken by the flight
attendants.
(2) Keep contact with the .
(3) Take the standby fire extinguisher and get ready to be the
second fire fighter.
(4) Collect the remaining fire extinguishing bottles and masks.
(5) Prepare to take over the job from the first fire fighter.
(6) Start timing the use of mask.
(7) Observe the ember and prevent it from being re-ignited.
Note: The reporter should watch the other team members
fighting the fire instead of disturbing their work and keep the
cockpit informed of the process.
3) Reponsibilities of the assistant
(1) Collect the remaining fire bottles and smoke hoods.
(2) Monitor the time elapsed after the smoke hood is put on.
(3) Make sure that the ember is extinguished fully.

Chapter 11 Flight Crew Emergency Procedures page: 11-3-2


No.:TJA-OP1
Flight Operations Manual Ver.:1303-5
Rev.:131129
(4) Take the appropriate fire extinguishing bottles and smoke
hoods when necessary.
4) General fire fighting procedure
(1) Look for the fire source and identify its nature.
(2) Inform the pilot in command.
(3) Use appropriate fire extinguishing bottles and don smoke hoods
in the non-smoke area.
(4) Take all fire fighting equipments to the site.
(5) Monitor the situation and make embers are completely out.
(6) Comfort passengers.
5) Fire extinguishing points:
(1) Keep calm and act quickly and decisively.
(2) If the smoke is dense, make best to get the fire source, at the
same time avoid inhaling dense smoke.
(3) When fire extinguishers are to be discharged, keep the bottle
straight and use until the fire is extinguished.
(4) Fire fighting in flight deck, Halon extinguisher is the only
choice.
(5) Fire fighting in the horizontal surface, the fire extinguisher
nozzle directs to the fire base. Start from the edge of the fire
and move gradually, reduce the scope of the fire origin.
(6) Fire extinguishing in the vertical surface such as the galley
curtain, direct the extinguishing agent from the fire base to the
upward and left to right. If it is a type A fire, use water or Halon
extinguishers. Avoid granules flying to the other places of the
cabin and start the fire.
(7) After using Halon extinguisher, use water to quench the area
burnt by fire.
11.3.2.4 When fire is extinguished
1) The cabin crew inform the PIC that fire is extinguished.
2) According to fire type, one flight attendant must be arranged to
monitor fire source to prevent reigniting until landing.
3) The pilot-in-command should take necessary proper actions to
protect all passengers and cabin crew and decide to land at the
nearest suitable airport.
4) If fire is conformed to be extinguished, the pilot-in-command
increases the cabin ventilation as necessary to clean cabin air.
5) For fire and smoke in the passenger cabin, it is not necessary to use
the passenger emergency oxygen when the cabin pressure and
altitude are normal.

11.3.3 Special fire procedure

Chapter 11 Flight Crew Emergency Procedures page: 11-3-3

Special fire procedure shall be performed after the completion of general
fire procedure and is for the special fire.
11.3.3.1 Lavatory fire
Lavatory fire occupies a great ratio in the airplane fire, about 45% of the
fire happens in the lavatory. When the smoke detector gives a warning, it
indicates smoke or fire in the lavatory. First check if there is anyone is the
lavatory and feel the door temperature with the back of the hand before
entering into the lavatory.
1) If there is anyone smoking in the lavatory, the flight attendant shall
talk with this passenger and require the passenger to extinguish the
cigarette immediately or show where the cigarette was discarded if
the smoke detector alarm was due to the cigarette smoke. The flight
attendant shall open the ventilation hole located at the lavatory
ceiling and reset the smoke detector with a sharp object such as
toothpick or pen, and inform the pilot-in-command.
2) If the door is cold:
(1) Take out nearest extinguisher.
(2) Open lavatory door. Observe the position of the fire.
(3) Use wet blankets or point the Halon extinguishing bottle at the
root of the fire.
(4) When fire is successfully extinguished, inform the pilot-in-
command and lock the lavatory.
3) If the door is hot:
(1) Keep the door closed
(2) Take out fire extinguisher and crash axe. Cut a hole on the door
with the axe.
(3) Discharge all extinguishing agent through the hole.

Note: Do not cut off the partition with a knife as it may cut off main
wires and hydraulic lines.
11.3.3.4 Fluorescence lights rectifier fire
Fluorescence rectifier supplies electricity to the upper and lower
cabin side wall lights. If the rectifier is used for a very long time, it
may become overheat and produce smoke with strong smell. If fire
automatically extinguished, there is no danger. It the rectifier
becomes overheats:
1) Turn off lights.
2) Inform the cockpit
11.3.3.5 Passengers clothes fire
Cover the fire with damp blanket and quench with cold water from the
trolley or the galley or lavatory. If any passenger is injured, he/she shall
be treated in time.
Warning: never use direct the fire extinguisher at passengers.
11.3.3.6 Special flight crew measures.
1) The fire situation and measures taken by the flight crew should be
reported to ATC and the Company operation control centre by the
pilot-in-command.
2) When the fire or smoke spread or maybe spread to the flight deck,
the seated members in the should wear oxygen masks and establish
communication.
3) Announce emergency situation, set transponder to 7700.

11.4 Rapid Depressurization Procedure in the Air
11.4.1 General
Rapid depressurization in the air is one of the most urgent conditions in
flight and that directly endangers the safety of people onboard. Therefore,
the memory items should be completed swiftly and correctly by the flight
crew. Descend to the safety altitude.
11.4.2 Human physical reaction during depressurization
11.4.2.1 Anoxic reaction
Altitude symptom
1) 3000 meters/10000 feet: headache, fatigue
2) 4300 meters/14000 feet: sleepy, headache, vision weakens, faint
3) 5400 meters/18000 feet: memory reduces, the same as the above
4) 6600meters /22000 feet: convulsion、prostration, coma, shock
5) 8800 meters/28000 feet: prostration in 5 minutes, coma迷
11.4.2.2 Effective consciousness time
Altitude consciousness time
1) 6600 meters/22000 feet:5─10 minutes
2) 7500 meters/25000 feet:3─5 minutes
3) 9500 meters/30000 feet:1─2 minutes
4) 10500 meters/35000 feet:30 seconds
5) 12000 meters/40000 feet:15 seconds
For weak persons, the reaction will be more severe, the time of the
effective consciousness is shorter.
11.4.2.3 Emergency depressurization phenomenon
1) The cabin rate increases, altitude increases rapidly, the warning bell
sounds when reaching 3000 meters/1000feet.
2) Obvious ear pressing feeling, cause tinnitus.
3) If the airplane structure is damaged, severe turbulence and loud
airflow sound appears.
4) Temperature decreases gradually.
5) Before the cabin altitude reaches 14500+/-500 ft(E145, E190),
or 14000 for A320, the oxygen mask will deploy automatically.
11.4.3 Rapid depressurization procedure for the flight crew. ( A320
refers to Flight Crew Operation Manual – abnormal and emergency
procedure)
11.4.3.1 The flight crew operation
1) On discovering the above situations by the flight crew in the air, the
oxygen mask should be immediately put on (wearing the oxygen
mask with one hand, within 5 seconds) and establish crew
communication.
2) Do memory items and maintain cabin altitude.

Flight Operations Manual Ver.:1303-6
Rev.:131231
3) If can not be controlled, right seat pilot checks and reports: ―the
cabin pressure can not be controlled‖. PF mainly controls the aircraft
attitude, the pilot-in-command announces ―emergency situation‖.
4) Report to ATC aircraft rapidly depressure, request emergency
descent
5) Before descent, the captain informs the cabin through the Passenger
Address system ―CABIN CREW, EMERGENCY DESCENT‖.
6) At the safe altitude, the PIC should advise the cabin via PA:
―ATTENTION CREW, WE HAVE REACHED SAFE ALTITUDE‖.
11.4.3.2 Pilot Flying
1) Put on oxygen mask and establish communication.
2) Generally turn 30 degrees right of the course, deviate the flight
course.
3) Rapidly turn the altitude knob to the left to descend.
4) After hearing ―cabin pressure can not be controlled‖, engage HDG.
5) Emergency descent procedure refers to each aircraft’s QRH and SOP.
6) If suspicion of the structure integrity, the speed should be limited in
order to prevent large mechanical load.
7) Command RAPID DEPRESSURIZTION/EMERGENCY
DESCENT checklist.
8) Complete all the items when reaching the altitude, check the airplane
situation again and land at the nearest suitable airport.
11.4.3.3 Pilot Monitoring
1) Put on oxygen mask and establish communication.
2) Turn on FASTEN SEAT BELT.
3) Select the depressurization mode to manual and manual cabin
altitude selector to DN.
4) Inform PF if the cabin altitude is still out of control and manually
deploy the oxygen masks.
5) Set transponder to 7700, adjust the MCP panel altitude to 1000 feet
and not lower than the enrooted safety altitude (whichever is higher).
6) Notify ATC.
7) Inquire the cabin flight attendant about the structure damage
situation of the airplane.
8) Perform the checklist according to the pilot-in-command’s command.
9) Call 2000ft/1000ft to the target altitude.

10) After reaching the altitude, the personnel onboard and the damage
situation of the airplane should be reported to ATC and the
Company operation control centre to get assistance.
11.4.3.4 After reaching target altitude
1) After the airplane reaches the target altitude, the flight crew (if
possible) with the flight attendant crew does the cabin checking
work.
2) Bring the portable oxygen bottle.
3) Check passenger condition; firstly nurse the unconscious passengers
and children. Then take care of other passengers.
4) If the airplane structure is damaged, adjust the surrounding
passenger seats.
5) Provide portable oxygen bottle to any who needs oxygen when
oxygen mask no longer supplies oxygen anymore.
6) Report the cabin situation and airplane condition to the pilot-in-
command in time.

11.4.3.4 Principles to be followed during rapid depressurization


1) The flight crew should immediately wear the oxygen masks on
sensing the special smell and abnormal feeling.
2) The sequence of wearing oxygen masks: flight attendants shall wear
first then help the adult and the children at the same time.
3) Everyone should stop moving when the depressurization situation is
not eliminated.
4) For sensitive passengers, sit straight when inhaling the oxygen, for
insensitive passengers, lay back when inhaling the oxygen to prevent
no oxygen reach the trachea with wrong attitude.
5) Prepare the supply of oxygen, and prepare fire extinguishers in order
to prevent the fire in the passenger cabin caused by the bright fire.
6) When any flight attendant finds that the airplane is damaged, he or
she should immediately report to the .
7) After reaching the target altitude, the chief purser should report the
situation of the passengers and cabin to the pilot-in-command.

11.5 Dangerous goods and dangerous cargo
11.5.1 General
Dangerous goods and cargo are goods and material that will
endanger or damage flight safety, human body, property and
environment during air transportation. Some dangerous goods are
very dangerous to be carried into the cabin and can only be
transported as cargo according to the stipulations of ICAO and
IATA. Therefore, it is very important for the pilot-in-command to
know the type and nature of the dangerous goods before accepting
for transportation. Based on the event phenomenon may occur,
draws up the safety measures to cope with these accidents, either on
the line flight or the flight at any situations. For the accident
occurred, the flight crew should be steady, be calm, and take the
most advantageous measures and the correct handling procedure,
cope with the accident. However, no matter what result is, the flight
crew should land at the nearest (suitable) airport.
At present, Tianjin Airlines only carry the following two types of
dangerous goods in certains areas:
1. Turbine engine fuel sample from the China Aviation Fuel
Company at the following airports to Huhhot: Ulan, Tongliao,
Hairlar, Manzhouli, Wuhai, Chifeng, Baotou, Erdos, and Xilin.
2. Devices containing lithium batteries that meet the requirements
of DGR Packing Instructions 965-970 Section II.
The the Company will strictly undertake the dangerous goods
transportation according to the scope and operating procedure
approved by the Authority. Dry ice and cryogenic nitrogen
should not be loaded into the E190 or E145 cargo compartment.
A320 cargo compartment installed with a ventilation system can
carry dry ice used to pack perishables. Dry ice is also allowed in
quantities not exceeding 2.5 kg per passenger in carry-on
baggage provided each package permits the release of carbon
dioxide gas.
11.5.2 Classification of dangerous goods

11.5.9 Emergency handling procedures for dangerous goods transportation
11.5.9.1 General information
1) Classification and location of cargo compartment (CCAR-25.857)
(1) Class A: fire is easy to be identified by the flight crew on his/her
position. It is easy to access any part of the compartment. Class a
compartment is usually a small compartment located between the
and cabin, or near the galley or at the rear part of the aircraft.
(2) Class B: there is a certain channel for flight crew to reach any part
of the compartment with a portable fire extinguisher effectively.
When the channel is in use, the amount of smoke, fire or
extinguishing agent that enters the cabin or is not sufficient enough
to endanger the people onboard. An approved independent smoke
detector or fire detector system is installed to provide warning at
the pilot or flight engineer work station. This type of compartment
is usually much larger than class a compartment and further away
from the . On a COMBI aircraft, CLASS B compartment is located
between and cabin or after cabin. (A COMBI aircraft carrries both
cargo and passenger in the same main compartment. )
(3) Class C: cargo compartment that does not meet the requirements of
class A or class B and has the following features:
(a) An approved independent smoke detector or fire detecting
system is installed to provide warning at the pilot for flight
engineer work station.
(b) An approved fixed fire extinguishing or inhibiting system is
installed and this system has controls in the cockpit.
(c) There are measures to prevent a certain amount of smoke, fire
or extinguishing agent from entering the cockpit or cabin.
(d) Ventilation and smoke evacuation equipment are installed to
prevent the ―flashback‖ after the extinguishing agent is
discharged.
(e) The capacity of class C is usually lager than that of class A or
B. This type of compartment is usually located under the
floor of large body aircraft. Two fire extinguishers may be
installed. One for initial control of the fire and the other for
prevention of ―flashback‖.
(4) Class E: This type of compartment is for cargo only. It has the
following features:
a) An approved independent smoke detector or fire detector
system is installed to provide warning at the pilot or flight
engineer work station.
b) It is possible to stop the ventilation toward or inside the
compartment through certain devices which are accessible
to the crew.

Chapter 11 Flight Crew Emergency Procedures page: 11-5-27


No.:TJA-OP1
Flight Operations Manual Ver.:1303-0
Rev.:130709
c) There are measures to prevent a certain amount of smoke,
fire or extinguishing agent from entering the cockpit or
cabin.
d) The flight crew emergency exits are accessible with
whatever load in the compartment.
e) It is usually composed of the whole main compartment of
a freighter. For a normal passenger aircraft, class C or
class D compartment is installed, while on a freighter,
there will be a class E main compartment and a class D or
class C under floor compartment.
2) Fire extinguisher
The most common fire extinguisher on the aircraft uses Halon
(Bromochlorodifluoromethane), dry power, CO2 or water as agent (not
necessarily to have all of them on one aircraft). The operation instruction
is included in the operational manual and the hull of the extinguisher.
When water is used as extinguishing agent, its hazard shall be considered.
3) Oxygen equipment
Fixed and portable oxygen equipment are installed in the pressurized
freighter to provide oxygen to flight crew and passengers. The flight crew
oxygen equipment usually includes an airproof oxygen mask which is
able to provide 100% oxygen. The aircraft may be equipped with PBE
and portable medical mask. The flight crew obtains oxygen from the
oxygen cylinder with a medical mask. Additional deployable passenger
masks are also available for cabin crew to use in the cabin, galley or
lavatory. No matter which mask is used, it is designed to allow low rate
oxygen to pass and blend with air inhaled from the valve or vent at the
side of the mask. These masks are not airproof. Therefore, if there is any
poisonous gas or smoke, it will be inhaled by the flight crew or
passengers through the valve or vent.
4) Accessibility of dangerous goods
Except for the following dangerous goods, all dangerous goods
labeled with ―for freighter only‖ must be accessible:
(1) Flammable liquid(3 types)with class Ⅲ package without
secondary hazard.
(2) Poisonous and infectious substances(6 types).
(3) Radioactive substances(7 types);
(4) Miscellaneous dangerous goods;
(5) Other dangerous goods (not labeled with ―for freighter only‖)
do not require accessibility.
5) Emergency response bag
The onboard emergency response bag is provided by the the
Company. The flight crew shall be trained of how to use the emergency

Chapter 11 Flight Crew Emergency Procedures page: 11-5-28


No.:TJA-OP1
Flight Operations Manual Ver.:1303-0
Rev.:130709
response bag in case of dangerous goods incident. It usually consists of:
(1) Several big polythene plastic bags with good quality;
(2) Ropes for binding;
(3) Several long rubber gloves.
11.5.9.2 Dangerous goods accidents/events warning classification
The dangerous goods accidents/events belong to the First Class Event of
several events of the Company. According to the warning grade division
by the happened or forthcoming flight emergency event, the
dangerous goods accident/event warning class locates in the
divided 1st, 2nd,3rd Class warning, that is:
1) Dangerous goods accident classification
Leakage, spillage, burning or other hazard has been found on the loaded
dangerous goods, which has endangered the passengers and flight crew or
damaged the aircraft in the following way:
(1) It is under control with severe damage or loss of property
and/or human injury/death.
(2) It is out of control and deteriorating, which may lead to a crash of
the aircraft and human death.
(3) It can not be monitored by the flight crew, but may cause
accident due to the nature of the dangerous goods.
2) Danderous goods incident classification
Leakage, spillage, burning or other hazard has been found on the loaded
dangerous goods, which has caused light damage to the people and
equipment on board and aircraft but is under control and will not lead to an
accident.
11.5.9.3 Dangerous goods accidents handling in flight by the flight crew
1) The items should be identified when the dangerous goods accident
happens in air.
In flight, the following principles should be adopted when the dangerous
goods accident happens, all of these principles should be considered and the
relevant measures should be taken, no matter it carries passenger, goods or
passenger& goods:
(1) Emergency landing should be first thing to consider. The pilot-in-
command should immediately notify ATC, get maximum help from
ATC. Immediately descend to a lower altitude, and inform ATC that
there are dangerous goods onboard if possible.
(2) Perform emergency procedures according to the approved fire
extinguishing or smoke procedure. Put on crew oxygen masks and select
100% to prevent inhaling of the smoke. Perform the SMOKE
EVACUATION procedure to circulate the polluted air; the air-condition
system should be in the maximum power condition, exclude all the
cabin air to the outside of the airplane, (non air circulation) to reduce the
toxic concentration of the polluted air and circulate the polluted air.

Chapter 11 Flight Crew Emergency Procedures page: 11-5-29


No.:TJA-OP1
Flight Operations Manual Ver.:1303-0
Rev.:130709
(3) Descend to reduce the vaporizing rate of liquid and reduce the leakage
rate of it but this will make the fire more severe. On the opposite,
increase the altitude of the flight can reduce the fire but will increase the
liquid vaporizing rate or leakage rate.
(4) Keep minimum differential pressure if the aircraft structure will be
damaged or the dangerous goods will explode.
(5) Increase the ventilation rate can not reach the purpose of reducing the
fire. Therefore, increasing the ventilation rate will bring improper effect
when the flight crew is not under the influence of the fire.
(6) When handles the incidents involving the fire or the smoke, should wear
the aeroseal respiratory equipment frequently, should not consider using
the portable oxygen cylinder's medical mask either the drop-down type
of passenger oxygen system to help the passengers in the cabin full of
smoke, because the massive smoke could be inhaled through the valve
or the blowhole of the mask. One more valid method to help the
passengers in the environment full of smoke is to cover the noses with
the wet cloth. The wet towel and the wet cloth may help filtration, and is
better than the filtration effects of dry cloth or dry towel. If the smoke is
developing, the cabin crew should take the action rapidly, by removing
the passenger from the area affected, when necessary provides the wet
towel or the wet cloth, and explains how to breathe through them.
Generally, water can not be used to rescue when the dangerous goods
are leaked or smoke is produced. Because water will diffuse the
dangerous goods or increase smoke rate. The existence of electrical
equipment must be considered when water is used to extinguish the fire.
(7) Other kinds of goods can be effective besides the compulsively
installed emergency equipment, including:
a)Mops or boxes for installing foods;
b)Dry gloves/ anti-fire gloves;
c)Polythene plastic bag;
d)Blanket;
e)Towel, etc.
(8) Be careful of your hands before touching the suspicious cases or
bottles. Protect hands by wearing gloves or dry gloves with
polythene plastic bags.

Chapter 11 Flight Crew Emergency Procedures page: 11-5-30


No.:TJA-OP1
Flight Operations Manual Ver.:1303-0
Rev.:130709
(9) Be careful to erase any leakage and make sure that the used erasure
goods and dangerous goods will react. If reaction happens, do not try
to erase, cover the leakage with polythene bags. If the polythene
bags are not available, take measures carefully and make sure that
the dangerous goods are covered and will not react.
(10) If has known or suspected dangerous goods overflowed in the form
of powder, keeps all goods motionless. Should not use the fire
extinguishing agent to cover this type of overflow, nor dilute with
the water, should remove the passenger from the area affected,
consider turning off the recirculation fan.
(11) Should cover the spillage area using the polyethylene bag or other
plastic bags and blanket, isolate the area, after landing, hand it over
to the qualified specialists to process.
(12) If the fire is successfully controlled, and the inner package of the
dangerous goods is intact. At this time water should be used to cool
package box in order to avoid the possibility of reignition. The
related situation of (6)clause should be considered when cool with
water.
(13) When smoke appears, command ―no smoking‖.
(14) In any incident, if rescuers and the fire fighters arrive the aircraft, no
matter whether the dangerous goods is the reason of the incident, or
carries the dangerous goods on the aircraft has no direct correlation
with the incident, at this time should determine a procedure,
ensuring the ―Notice to Captain‖ of the dangerous goods is
immediately provided to the rescue and fire fight personnel (RFF).
This procedure may require the first flight crew member who leaves
aircraft in the emergency evacuation to give the ―Notice to Captain‖
to the senior rescuer and fire fighters.
(15) If an incident involves certain chemical substance which can be
verified (through the transportation names or serial numbers
officially published by United Nations, or through any other method),
can gain the useful information from various countries' chemistry
data base in some cases. These data bases usually maintain
accessible via telephone24 hour a day.

As the incident may be associated with electrical power and the
electrical system may be affected by the incident most probably
by the fire extinguishing procedure, all non-essential electrical
loads should be shed except those for maintaining the essential
instruments, systems and controls. Do not recover the electrical
power until it is safe to do so.
For dangerous goods incients in the cabin, read the cabin crew
checklist and coordinate cabin crew actions with the cockpit
Any DG incident occurred in the cabin should be handled by the
cabin crew according to the appropriate checklist and procedure.
Cabin crew must coordinate with the cockpit so that both crews
know each other’s intention and actions.
Determine the emergency response action signals
When the article is identified, it should be correlated to the
proper item on the NOTOC which may include the applicable
drill code. Otherwise, the drill code may also be found on DG
list which is in the alphabetically or numerical way by refence to
the proper shipping name or UN number.

Chapter 11 Flight Crew Emergency Procedures page: 11-5-33


No.:TJA-OP1
Flight Operations Manual Ver.:1303-5
Rev.:131129
If the article is not listed on he NOTOC, try to find out its name or
property and then find the drill code on the DG list.
Note: The DG List is in section 4 of this document.
Use the aircraft emergency response action
chart as a guideline to handle the incident
Each drill code is composed of a numerical number from 1 to 10 and
a letter. In the Emergency Response Chart, each drill code is
associated with the hazards of the article and procedures to be taken.
The letter indicating other harzards of the airticle is listed separately.
Sometimes, the letter provides supplemental information to the
emergency procedure.
Inform the ATC of the information of
the DG onboard if time permits
If the emergency occurs in flight, the pilot in command should inform
ATC of the DG carried on the aircraft if time permits. The
information should including the following, if possible, proper
shipping name and/or UN number, class/division and compatibility
group, any known subsidiary risks, quantity and location. If it is
impossible to provide all the above information, choose the most
critical ones.
After landing
Deplane all passengers and crew members
before opening any cargo door
Deplane the passengers and crew members before attempting to open
any cargo compartment door or taking any further action, even if an
emergency evacuation is not necessary. The emergency staff must be
present when opening the cargo compartment door.
Inform the ground /emergency staff of the
nature and location of the dangerous goods
Once arrived, the ground staff should be informed of the DG location
by necessary means and obtain all information about the article
including a copy of the NOTOC.
Consider to shed non-essential electrical loads
Make the following remarks on the maintenance logbook: Inspection
is required to make sure that no structural or system damage is caused
by possible leakage of the DG. Some equipment such as fire
extinguisher or emergency response package may need to be
replaced.

crew swops and the goods continue to the next stop, the previous pilot-in-
command must relay the SPECIAL LOAD NOTIFICATION TO CAPTAIN
to the next pilot-in-command that takes over the aircraft.
Before takeoff, the pilot-in-command and freight monitor should carefully
examine the package of the dangerous goods. Once the damaged or not
qualified package is detected, it must be unloaded from the airplane in order
to prevent the accident in flight.
The pilot-in-command must have emergency precautions for the dangerous
goods carried on the aircraft according to the type and characteristic of the
dangerous goods. These precautions should be written in clear and concise
language and be easy to access. They are memeory items. The pilot-in-
command shall check if all emergency equipment including fire extinguishers
are onboard. Freighter flight crew shall check the dangerous goods package
being loaded onto the cargo compartment at an interval of less than 2 hours.
Ground precautions which are more significant than in-flight precautions
include: receiving inspection on the article name, package, mark and label
and document declaration, storage isolation, loading limitation, pre-
loading/unloading inspection, and flight crew notice for DG loading. The
most important thing is each DG operator must accomplish associated
training and be qualified for his job.

handling and obeying Operation Control Dept. guidance.
2) If condition permits, evacuate the passengers and flight crew away
from the airplane. When evacuation is initiated, anybody should not
carry any goods. The personnel should evacuate to the appointed
position away from the airplane.
3) If required, the airplane should be dragged or taxied away from the
terminal building, airplane parking area and building securied area.
4) When the evacuation of personnel onboard is permitted, leave a few
necessary professional personnel, security staff, policemen, and full
time personnel to monitor the situation of the whole airplane.
5) After the police or anti-explosive personnel has eliminated the
explosive in the airplane, check the airplane and commodities
onboard and passengers. The flight crew members and passengers
can go back to the airplane after confirming there’s no explosive.
6) If no explosive is detected, all the goods should be unloaded; the
goods can be reloaded after checking through the safety check again.
7) No explosive is detected after checking all of the places. The flight
crew should do some procedures with the airport bureau and the
airplane can be further operated.
8) When the passengers board again, the pilot-in-command or the chief
purser should broadcast to the passenger cabin and do the
explanations work to calm down the passengers and eliminate the

11.8 In flight intercepting procedure and signal (CCAR-121.133(f(23))
11.8.1 General
This is the requirement of the Company: the execution of flight near the
frontier and the future flight crew who executes flight in this area must
understand and get acquainted with the modes to be taken and operational
procedures in case of interception, the following is the language action
signal which is used in by the intercepting and intercepted airplane in the
peacetime.
11.8.2 Intercepting mode
11.8.2.1 Approaching stage
Generally the two intercepting airplanes pilots who complete the
distinguishing task then the command plane and wing plane fly side by
side.
11.8.2.2 Identifying stage
In visible weather condition, the intercepted airplane can see the
command plane or wing plane. When the airplane approaching the
airplane of unclear dentification, the wing plane is in the monitoring
position. The intercepted airplane keeps the flight attitude then in this
stage and chooses the constant speed and track. Then the command plane
get close to the intercepted airplane, get the needed information.
11.8.2.3 Intercepting stage
Once the distinguishing stage is completed, leading airplane will leave the
airplane; the wing plane will keep a definite distance and follow the
leading airplane again.
11.8.3 Intercepted airplane procedure
11.8.3.1 The reaction of the intercepted airplane, captain should:
1) Follow the order of the intercepting airplane, judge and understand
visual signal and make reaction.
2) If possible, notify the related air communication department.
3) Try to communicate with the intercepting airplane or the related
intercepting management department, ATIS at the 121.50
emergency frequencies and provide the identification,
number and flight character of the airplane.
4) The transponder should select 7700 except for other notice by ATC
department.
11.8.3.2 Principles for the intercepted airplane
1) Any received radio order conflicts the intercepting airplane visual
order, the intercepting airplane must immediately clarify it and fly
according to the ntercepting visual order simultaneously.
2) Any received radio order is the same as the intercepting airplane; the
intercepted airplane should continue to fly according to intercepting
airplane visual order.

11.9 Radio communication failure procedure
11.9.1 General
1) Possibility of two-way radio communication failure is very slim, but
may happen. Pilots should understand and be familiar with the radio
communication failure procedure. Consult the related data and
regulations according to your own situation for regional flight.
Although the radio failure procedure is accessible, it will not be
totally coincidental. Therefore, the captain should check and judge
the suitable procedure. CCAC allows for deviation of normal
procedures or regulations in emergency.
2) If two-way radio communication fails, the flight crew should follow
ICAO or CAAC procedure. ATC should provide the basic service
and the flight crew should also adhere to the stated procedures.
11.9.2 Basic procedures for communication failure
11.9.2.1 Two-way communication failure
1) The captain should try to establish communication on another
frequency.
2) If possible, transmit report via ground station or the other aircraft.
3) If the receiver malfunction is confirmed, transmit messages by the
radio at the estimated time or add to send ―receiver malfunction‖,
―TRANSMITINGBLIND DUE RECEIVER FAILURE‖, repeat all
the telegraph and inform the next telegraph time.
4) The captain reports his intention.
5) Observe the visual signal during departure and arrival.
6) Except for other indications, set transponder to 7600.
11.9.2.2 Two way communication failure procedure
1) In VFR;
(1) Continue VFR;
(2) Land at the nearest suitable airport;
(3) Notify ATC after landing as soon as possible
2) In IFR
(1) Route:
a) Fly according to the latest cleared route.
b) If radar vector is available, fly directly from the radio
failure point to the next allowable point.
c) When there are no fixed route and no notified route, fly
according to the flight planned route.
(2) Altitude:
Chose the highest of the following altitude or flight level:
a) The latest cleared altitude or flight level by ATC.
b) Use the minimum safety altitude in IFR.
(3) Fly away from the holding fix:

Chapter 11 Flight Crew Emergency Procedures page: 11-9-1


No.:TJA-OP1
Flight Operations Manual Ver.:1303-0
Rev.:130709
a) If cleared to deviate from the holding fix or estimated
allowable approach time, fly away holding fix on schedule
to IAF
b) If there is no holding clearance, the pilot can choose
whether to hold at the start holding point which the
airplane reaches before the estimated time.
(4) Descent and approach:
Descent and approach starts from the IAF, but it is not allowed
to descend from the route altitude or flight level before the following
conditions are satisfied.
a) The estimated time for descent is cleared;
b) The computed EAT from the flight plan or ATC revised
ETA;
c) When the radio fix is needed to approach the destination
airport, hold and descend to the initial approach altitude
with the holding flight course of the clouds penetration
chart. If there’s no approach holding pattern in the chart,
holding and descending should be completed during final
approach and do a procedural turn.

3) Issues to be paid attention to


(1) If the ATC cleared flight level only includes part of the route,
the airplane keeps the last cleared and approvced cruiselevel
until the point designated by the delivery, then fly the cruise
ltitude according to the flight plan.
(2) ATC gives clearance on the assumption that the aircraft will
observe published procedures in case of radio failure.
11.9.2.3 In IFR flight, two-way radio communication fails
When two-way radio communication failure occurs, unless approved by
ATC, flight crew should follow the following regulations during IFR
flight:
1) In VMC: If the two-way radio communication failure happens or
visual condition is met after two-way radio communication in visual
weather condition, the pilot should keep the visual flight rule and
land as soon as possible.
2) In IMC: If the two-way radio communication fails in instrument
weather condition and the above regulations can not be followed, the
airplane should continue to fly according to the following
regulations.

Chapter 11 Flight Crew Emergency Procedures page: 11-9-2


No.:TJA-OP1
Flight Operations Manual Ver.:1303-0
Rev.:130709
11.9.2.4 Enroute
1) The radio communication failure procedure happens in the route
flight:
(1) Fly the latest cleared route. Set transponder to 7600.
(2) If radio communication fails during rada vector, fly vector from
the point where such failure occurs to the estimated point, route
or flight course.
(3) If there’s no appointed route, fly according to the estimated
ATC suggested route.
(4) If the appointed route is lost or estimated that the informed
route is lost, fly according to the route filled in the flight plan.
2) Altitude selection
The highest altitude from the following altitudes or the flight level of
present flight leg:
(1) The last received ATC appointed or flight level.
(2) The minimum altitude of IFR fligh(change to minimum flight
level if suitable).
(3) The estimated altitude or flight level informed by the next order
of ATC.
3) Leaving altitude limitation:
When the altitude limitation is a limited point, approach from this
point, start to descend or descend and approach at the point most
possible receive the estimated further allowable time. If this time is not
received, descend and approach close to calculated estimated time of
arrival in application or the modified (with ATC) estimated time of
arrival in the route.
When the altitude limitation is an approach fix from here, leave the
altitude limitation when receiving the estimated further allowable time. If
this time is not received, fly to the initial fix when reaching the altitude
limitation, descend and approach close to calculated estimated time of
arrival in application or the modified (with ATC) estimated time of
arrival in the route.
11.9.3 Emergency procedure
IFR flight two-way radio communication failure, do as the above
described procedure. But if the pilot doesn’t do this or other factors
influence the pilot to do according to these procedures, the pilot should
try to alter the civil and army radar by the following procedures: the
transmitter or receiver is inoperative, transponder 7700. The radar
controller monitors the flight course airplane, send the instructions at the
frequency of 121.50 MHZ. connect at the frequency of 130.00 , use high
altitude regional HF.
11.9.3.1 Radio or radar failure procedure

Chapter 11 Flight Crew Emergency Procedures page: 11-9-3


No.:TJA-OP1
Flight Operations Manual Ver.:1303-0
Rev.:130709
1) If the ground radar fails, continue to fly according to the last
received ATC command. Keep the frequency of original radar
service before receiving new order. If the failed time is too long,
notify the flight crew to tune to related route ATC frequency before
the radar service resumes.
2) When lost contact the flight ATC at last appointed control frequency
and the nearest Flight Service Station (FSS) or the equipment
beyond the Company radio works normally, try to establish the
communication with the controller at the frequency of 121.50MHZ.
If the emission failure of the airplane is confirmed, the pilot should
listen the instructions at the last appointed control frequency or
through changing to the frequency of 121.50MHZ to get the
instructions.
3) If two-way radio communication fails, the airplane approved fly in
the radar controlled area should not be included :
(1) ATC has appointed altitude in IFR flight, so fly in the radar
controlled area.
(2) Keep flying in the radar controlled area because a suitable
cruise altitude should be kept in VFR flight.
4) Radar standard instrument departure:
IFR flight under radar control, non stop flight to and intercept the flight
course or radial line regulated by radar guided SID (standard instrument
departure) and fly according to permission.
11.9.4 Radio navigation equipment failure procedure
1) The Company should execute the following procedures when the
flight crew met the radio navigation equipment fails.
2) Radio navigation fails, report to ATC immediately that the
navigation equipment or communication failed or part of them is
failed and do the further explanation:
3) The airplane call sign;
The influenced equipment;
The weaken grade to the IFR flight capability;
The extent of assistance provided by ATC.
11.9.5 Operation of Transponder
1) During the two-way radio communication fail, the flight crew shall
judge correctly in advance and perform the emergency procedure or
callouts carefully and willingly.
2) Set transponder to 7600.
3) Turn the responder to 7700 and keep it 15 minutes if the ground
emergency assistance is needed. If the flight time is less than 15
minutes, it can be kept for the remained flight.
4) Repeat the above steps at 15 minutes interval during flight.

11.10 Engine failure
11.10.1 General
1) Engine is main power source of the airplane. The working condition
of the engine directly influences the safety of the airplane. The flight
crew executes the correct operation or strict disposition can make the
airplane tide over crisis when the sudden failure or abrupt
malfunction appears.。
2) When sudden failure and abrupt malfunction appear to the engine,
the flight crew should control the attitude of the airplane and analyze
and judge the malfunction reason according to various indications.
Carry out item by item according to the checklist ―engine limit/
surge/stall‖. Do not hurry to shout off some engine in normal
situation except directly endangering the flight safety.
3) The shutdown caused by automatically engine failure or flameout.
The engine can be start in the air if no damage or malfunction is
detected after the analysis and judgment of the captain. Execute
strictly by the checklist when starting in the air.
4) If the flight crew member finds any abnormal phenomenon in flight,
he should report to the captain in time except the flight safety is
directly jeopardized. Report the whole process of the event to the
captain after that, land at the nearest airport when one engine is
inoperative.
11.10.2 Engine failure
11.10.2.1 Failures
1) Associated failure message is displayed, abnormal engine
parameters indicated and engine thrust decreases distinctly.
2) The plane deviates to the failed engine, and will bring vibration of
different degree simultaneously.
3) The cruise speed is distinctly reduced; the climbing rate decreases in
the climbing stage; the descending rate increases in the descending
stage.
11.10.2.2 Responsibilities of the pilot-in-command:
When one engine fails, first control the airplane attitude, carry out the
engine failure checklist by oral command and take related measures:
1) If it happens in the climbing stage, determine to climb further or
keep altitude according to the airplane weight and minimum safety
altitude. Any altitude holding must report to ATC in time.
2) If it happens at the cruise stage, adjust favorable altitude according
to the weight of the airplane. Keep the drift down speed and descend
to the target altitude when in drift down and report to ATC and the
Company dispatch in time.
3) If it happens during descent, adjust descent and approach schedule
and inform ATC. Inform the Company Operation Control Centre if
possible.
4) If the non-functional shutdown of the engine is detected, start in the
air(execute by the checklist)

11.10.2.3 Responsibility of the first officer
1) Carry out engine failure checklist item by item according to the pilot-in-
command’s command.
2) Follow the pilot-in-command’s instructions, timely report the situation
happened to the airplane to ATC and the Company Operation Control
Dept..
3) Notify the chief purser, convey the pilot-in-command’s instruction and
intention and calm the passengers.
4) Execute the air start procedure according to pilot-in-command’s
command if the air start is needed.
11.10.2.4 Measures to be taken
Once the engine is inoperative, the plane should land at the nearest suitable
airport in principle
1) The pilot-in-command should determine the next plan for diverting,
returning to the base or continuing to fly to the destination airport in
consideration of the factors as the distance to the destination
airport/divert airport, onboard fuel, route weather, route safety altitude,
the condition of the airplane, airport maintenance capacity.
2) The first officer and other members make the corresponding preparation
measures according to the pilot-in-command’s decision and the
regulation of this type of airplane.
3) For the handling, sees the QRH and SOP of various airplane types.
11.10.3 Engine out of control
11.10.3.1 Shut down condition
1) Abnormal noise in the engine.
2) Overheat or abnormal temperature indication.
3) Other engine parameters vary greatly.
11.10.3.2 Flight crew procedure
1) Do not hurry to shut down the engine if the flight safety is not directly
endangered.
2) Retract the thrust lever to the idle, observe the engine working
parameters and working situation.
3) If the parameters are relatively stable, the idle detent or allowable scope
should be kept until the airplane approach landing.
4) If the abnormal phenomenon still exists, the engine should be shut down
according to the checklist. If condition permitted, put the thrust lever to
idle for 2 minutes, shut down the engine then (cool and stabilize the
engine).
5) When shutting down the engine, the pilot-in-command utter the oral
command of shutting down the failed engine and carry out the checklist;
the checklist is carried out by the first officer. The pilot-in-command
controls the attitude of the airplane, (do not use the autopilot) adjust the
good engine thrust, keep the flight speed, executes one engine drift
down.
6) Inform ATC and Operation Control Center of the situation and
Captain’s intention.

11.10.4 Approach principles and notices of engine failure
1) The airplane thrust reduction and asymmetry is due to engine failure
which will bring some difficulties to approach. So the pilot-in-
command must choose to land at nearest and suitable (runway length
long, weather condition good, maintenance ability strong) airport.
2) The pilot-in-command should make the approaching brief before the
engine failure. The flight crew should strictly perform their
responsibility including the approaching altitude, speed and needed
standard call, control essentials of reroute and the necessary
operation of the first officer.
3) The flight crew should coordinate with each other; make every
action meticulously no matter what manual approach or autopilot
approach is. Emphasize that the coordination is an important part
to complete the approach.
4) Safety is the highest responsibility. Whatever happens in the
approach, the pilot-in-command must decisively adopt the go around
measure as long as the pilot-in-command feels any potential factors
endanger the flight safety and never land reluctantly.

11.11 On board special events handling
11.11.1 General
The onboard special conditions refer to event happens to the onboard
personnel or the passengers in the emergency situation. The flight crew
member should adopt the safest measure according to the situation then.
When handling the passenger event, the pilot-in-command can execute by
the pilot-in-command’s right to restrict the passengers in the Flight
Operations Manual. Here only list a part of the special situation handling
methods, for the unexpected or not emergency situation such as
passenger misbehavior, angry passengers, onboard women
childbearing, stowaway can be handled as special condition, please refer
to Cabin Attendant Manual. So the pilot-in-command and flight crew
members must have the principle and flexibility, properly handle this
event with the spirit of ensuring the flight safety and servicing the
passengers.
11.11.2 Pilot incapacitation (CCAR-121.705)
11.11.2.1 Initial measures for the incapacitated pilots
Pay attention to pilot incapacitation during every stage of flight. Once
detecting the incapacitation of the pilot, the flight crew member should:
1) Another pilot of the flight crew should immediately put through or
confirm whether the autopilot instrument operates normally.
2) Other pilot should immediately replace the flight control and keep
the flight attitude if the manual control is carried out. Maximum

and flight attendants.
11.15.2.1 FLIGHT CREW OXYGEN
The flight crew is provided with oxygen through a conventional high-
pressure gaseous system. The system employs a 50-cu.ft cylinder in
which the oxygen is stored at high pressure (1850 psi), installed on the
right side of the /passenger cabin partition, to feed the crew masks.
1) CREW MASK
The crew mask is a quick-donning oro-nasal type that allows oxygen flow
on demand or under pressure, as required.
The mask is provided with an automatic oxygen dilution system that
provides pure oxygen with cabin altitude over 33000 ft. It can also be
manually selected to the 100% position to provide pure oxygen at all
altitudes or to EMERGENCY position to maintain positive pressure in
the venting orifice.
2) Operation
Hold the mask with one hand by the hose and the inflation control valve
(red ears). Pull the mask out of the box. Press the inflation control valve
(red ears) firmly. The harness inflates rapidly, and takes a shape large and
rigid enough to allow the user to don it quickly. Release the regulator ears.
The harness will then deflate, securing the mask to the user's face.
3) Operation of smoke goggles
The smoke goggles were designed for use with the crew mask assembly,
matching the mask face cone. The venting valve, located on the mask
shell and manually actuated by the user, allows direct communication
between venting orifice and goggles.
When mask regulator is selected to emergency position, a metered
oxygen flow will be directed to the goggles’ cavity so as to allow
continuous venting and preventing any infiltration of harmful gases.
4) Oxygen mask test
(1) Close the TEST/RESET button (spring-loaded in the pilot and
copilot boxes only).
When pressed, with the mask stowed, allows testing the oxygen
mask. Flow indicator shows a bright contrast for a short time.
The OXY ON flag appears on the lid face.
When pressed, with the mask not stowed, shuts off oxygen to
the mask. The OXY ON flag disappears on the lid face.
(2) EMERGENCY POSITION
When rotated clockwise, pure oxygen with a slight positive
pressure is supplied at all cabin altitudes. When smoke goggle
is on, it must be in this position. When pressed, test the proper
operation of the regulator commanding mechanism.

1) Flight Crew Full-Face Masks
(1) Stowage position:Flight crew and observer full-face, quick
donning masks and regulators are stowed in oxygen mask boxes
near each seat.
(2) Operation
a) Opening the stowage box’s mask automatically initiates
the oxygen flow. Pressing the harness inflation control
valve will inflate the harness, enabling its quick donning.
Releasing the button will deflate the harness, firmly
attaching it to the head. The oxygen will flow until the
stowage box’s doors are closed. An oxygen supply control
knob is used to set the oxygen flow to normal, 100% or
emergency mode.
b) Communication: The mask is also connected to the
communications system. Removing it from the stowage
box’s automatically activates mask’s microphone and
transfers the communication from the headsets to the cabin
speakers. Closing the stowage box’s doors and pressing
the TEST/RESET button will turn off mask’s microphone.
c) Also, the unit can be tested through the TEST/RESET
button. With the mask stowed and the regulator knob set to
NORMAL, keeping the TEST/RESET button pressed will
make the indicator to blink and a sound signal will be
audible on the speaker. Releasing the button will terminate
the test.
(3) Mask’s Operating Modes
a) Normal: With the regulator set to NORM position, the
system provides an automatic oxygen dilution. At lower
cabin altitudes, ambient air is allowed to enter the
regulator and mix with the added oxygen during inhalation.
As the cabin altitude increases, the proportion of ambient
air entering the regulator is reduced until at a preset point
where the user inhales 100% oxygen. In events such as
cabin decompression when the ambient pressure is below
the set point, the mask automatically provides non-diluted
oxygen to the crew.
b) 100%: With the regulator set to 100% position, the system
provides non-diluted oxygen to the crew regardless of
cabin altitude.
c) Emergency: The EMER setting provides non-diluted
oxygen regardless of cabin altitude, with a slightly positive
pressure. This positive pressure forms a pressure seal and
purges smoke and toxic fumes that eventually get into the
mask.

decision and execute emergency evacuation within 30 seconds under
the following abnormal conditions:
(1) Fire/smoke;
(2) Severe fuel leakage;
(3) Fuselage severe damage;
(4) Ditching/forced landing on ground;
(5) Hijack with purpose of destruct.
11.19.2 Unprepared evacuation
1) Unprepared evacuation refers to any abnormal situation to evacuate
passengers without preparation with the aircraft on ground and no
time to prepare the cabin for immediate evacuation. The captain
should notify the flight attendant to carry out emergency evacuation
with the passenger addressing system and the emergency evacuation
system.
2) The purser is responsible for evacuation path and method.
11.19.3 Prepared evacuation
Prepared evacuation means that in any abnormal situation, the crew will
always have time to prepare for emergency evacuation with evacuation
plan.
11.19.4 Crew duties
1) Captain’s responsibilities
In any abnormal situation that requires emergency evacuation or needs to

13 RVSM
13.1 Definitions
13.1.1 RVSM(Reduced Vertical Separation Minimum)
Refers to the vertical separation reduced from 600 meters (2000 feet) to
300 meters (1000 feet) between 8900 M and 12500 M (included) in the
RVSM operation air space.
13.1.2 RVSM Transition Air Space
Transition space is from RVSM air space to non RVSM air space. The
transition air space is from 600 meters (2000 feet) vertical separation
RVSM air space to 300 meters (1000feet) vertical separation RVSM air
space, or leave from 1000 feet vertical separation RVSM air space to
2000 feet vertical separation RVSM air space, which is called RVSM
transition air space
If the local ATC temporarily announces to stop RVSM operation due
to weather and traffic conditions, keep the original vertical separation
from 1000 feet to 2000 feet; or ATC temporarily cancels RVSM
operation, airplanes change 2000 feet vertical separation to 1000 feet
vertical separation, vertical separation change in the same air space is also
called RVSM transition air space.
13.1.3 Suspension of RVSM Operation
Air traffic services will consider suspending RVSM procedures within
affected areas of Chinese FIRs when there are pilot reports of greater than
moderate turbulence. Within areas where RVSM procedures are
suspended, the vertical separation minimum between all aircraft will be
600 meters (2000 feet)
13.1.4 CAT I Navigation
CAT I navigation refers to all route operation or part operation are
within the standard route navigation equipment (VOR, VOR/DME, NDB)
which is regulated by ICAO. CAT I navigation also includes flight
operation over MEA GAP. The route operation in these area is called
CAT I navigation operation for the non-related navigation equipment.
CAT I navigation includes the operation with the usage of terrain marker
navigation or other navigation operations which do not rely on VOR,
VOR/DME and NDB.
13.1.5 CAT II navigation
CAT II navigation refers to other route operation except CAT I

navigation. CAT II navigation refers to all routes operations and part


routes operations outside of standard route navigation equipment (VOR,
VOR/DME, NDB) service area. However, CAT II operation does not
include MEA GAP route operations.
13.1.6 TCAS 7.0
The main differences between TCAS 7.0 and previous versions are:
RVSM set in the airplane is 1000 feet between FL420 and FL200, the TA
warning will be triggered if the separation is less than 850 feet, RA
warning will be triggered if the separation is below 700 feet, vertical
speed change RA warning will be
triggered if the separation is below 600 feet.
13.1.7 Strategic Lateral Offset
Strategic Lateral Offset establishes 1 NM on the right side of the fight
heading.

13.3.3 ATC Defined Flight Level
1) It is very important to maintain the ATC required flight level during
level off. The flight crew should pay special attention to ensure that the
ATC clearance is fully understood. Except the incident and emergency
situations, leave the ATC appointed flight level without the ATC
permission is unacceptable.
2) If the flight level deviation is more than 90 meters (300 feet) from
ATC, the pilot should immediately take actions to return back to the
allowed flight level.
13.3.4 Use of Autopilot
During the flight with no altitude change, the auto altitude control
system could be disconnected if airplane adjustment or in the turbulence,
the autopilot should be used in normal flight to maintain the flight
altitude.
13.3.5 Flight Level Change
When change in the permitted flight level, the aircraft in the appointed
flight level should be higher or lower than 150 feet (45 meters). Autopilot
is recommended to use in the RVSM air space flight, level off with auto
altitude control system altitude capture function. The pilots in the RVSM
air space should report when reach the appointed altitude except in the
ADS and radar environment.
13.3.6 TCAS Fault Warning Avoidance
The aircraft pilots could take the following method to reduce the fault
warnings introduced by airborne anti-collision system except for the
requirement from ATC:
1)Rate of climb or descent should not be higher than 1500 f/m
2)Use 500 to 1000 f/m rate of climb or descent when it is 1000 feet away
from the flight level.
3)When the climb/descent rate is less than 500 f/m, the pilot should report
to the ATC to re-estimate the arrival time to the permission altitude.

13.3.7 Lateral Offset


1) After reaching RVSM airspace between 8900 meters and 12500 meters
with FMS offset and GPS navigation, fly along the route or airway,
deviate 1 NM to the right
2) During route deviation, no necessary to report to the ATC.
3) Flight crew should be approved by ATC in the airway deviation.
4) After leaving RVSM airspace, the flight crew should cancel the offset
return back to the centerline and route.
13.3.8 Altimeter Check and RVSM Operation Log Book
1) The altimeter should be checked according to the preflight procedures.
Pilots should cross check the main altimeters before entering RVSM
airspace and RVSM transferring airspace and near the Category II
navigation areas entrance (e.g. Leaving coastline).
2) The differential between the two main altimeters should be not more
than the minimum value of 60 meters (200 feet) or the value regulated
in the manual, which is less. If it indicates over this limit, the altimeter
failure should be reported to ATC. The differential between the main
altimeter and alternate altimeter should be recorded in case of
emergency.
3) The altimeter that is used to control flight level should be selected to
input altitude signals to transponders which sends altitude message to
ATC in normal situations.
4) RVSM operation log book should be filled before each check.

13.3.9 The Emergency Operating Procedures Regulation in RVSM
Airspace
Pilots should notify ATC of the emergencies that influence the cleared
flight level (CFL) (e.g. System failure, weather conditions), and discuss
the operation plan with ATC. The flight crew must report to ATC in the
following situations in flight:
1)RVSM cannot be performed because of system failure.
2)Loss of redundancy of altitude measuring system;
3)The turbulence that affects the ability of maintaining altitude.
4)The difference of two main altimeters is 200 feet.
5)The offset distance is 300 feet from ATC cleared flight level.
The flight crew should report to the company about further information
within 24 hours.
13.3.10 Technique Recording Log
Pilots should provide enough detailed information about the related
altitude maintaining system failure so that the maintenance staff can
effectively solve the problem and repair the systems. The problems that
appeared and the procedures that flight crew performed to separate and
remove failures should be clearly noted down. If applicable, the
following should be noted:

13.4.1.1 Confirm that the aircraft is approved to carry out RVSM.
Confirm it by referring to Operation Criteria of our company.
13.4.1.2 Confirm that “W” is written in the 10th column on ICAO flight
plan to indicate that RVSM has been approved.
13.4.1.3 Read AIP or JEPPESEN carefully, for each country or each
area’s special regulations of RVSM operation in the flight plan route
and alternate route, such as emergency procedures, designated flight
levels and transponder TCAS requirement etc. Analyze and confirm
these special regulations influence on flight.
13.4.1.4 Read the report and weather forecast of route weather condition,
and analyze the weather report and forecast which will possibly
influence RVSM operation (for example, turbulence, icing).
13.4.1.5 If the known aircraft has fault remaining items, check it is in
accordance with the requirements of MEL and RVSM operation. And
check the items which should be noticed by flight crew by using MEL
related items.
13.4.1.6 If there is an aircraft operation limit related to RVSM
airworthiness approval for special aircraft group, analyze and confirm
the influence of this limit on flight, and comply with this operation
limit.
13.4.1.7 Confirm the emergency procedures during RVSM region
operation with dispatcher when the aircraft has emergency situation or
the weather condition which will influence the flight ability to maintain
flight level appears. Make dispatch decision with dispatcher together.
13.4.1.8 Receive RVSM Operation Log Record
13.4.2 Preflight External Inspection
During aircraft External Inspection, to check the damage condition on
the fuselage around the static port (which will be RVSM critical area), red
right angle is marked around fuselage static port. Check that whether
there is obvious damage on static port, TAT probe, pitot/static probe and
AOA sensor or not. Pay attention to the static source and the skin
condition near each static source, for example icing, scrape, sunken skin
and any other parts which will influence the altitude measuring system
accuracy(This check is carried out by maintenance personnel and they
will record the check result in the technical log, then report it to the
captain directly). If maintenance didn’t do the check, captain should
check it with the duty maintenance personnel to clarify the condition of
the equipment related to RVSM operation and maintenance actions.
13.4.3 Preflight Internal Inspection
13.4.3.1 Check for aircraft equipment and maintenance log
Confirm that the equipments needed in RVSM airspace flight
(altimeter, autopilot, altitude measurement, warning system and TCAS)
must be available. Confirm that the weaknesses of the needed equipments

has been given the maintenance actions and repaired. They shouldn’t
influence the good condition of the needed equipment for RVSM flight
according to MEL dispatching items. Before flight, if there is any fault
indication for RVSM flight needed equipment, actions must be done to
solve it.(taxi back to apron, report it to maintenance personnel and flight
dispatcher on duty)
13.4.3.2 Check for Altimeter Indication Error
Set the altimeter correction according to the QNH in the local airport.
The difference between the local airport elevation and the indication on
altimeter should not exceed 23 meters (75 feet).for the airport with QFE

13.5 RVSM Emergency Procedures


13.5.1 Emergency Situation and Handling Principles
13.5.1.1 Emergency Situations
The emergency situations in RVSM operation region mainly refer to
the cases which will influence the aircraft’s altitude maintaining ability.
The reasons of these events are as following:
1) Aircraft equipment faults;
(1) Pressurization faults;
(2) Autopilot, Auto Altitude Control System faults;
(3) Aircraft performance or other faults which affect aircraft
performance (eg: one engine failure);
(4) Any other equipment which affect maintaining CFL ability;
(5) Responder failure.
2) Weather condition
(1) Severe turbulence, wake
(2) Adverse weather
13.5.1.2 Handling Principles
1) The captain has the right to decide the action to be taken according to
the situation at that time, and can make the final decision on flight
safety, but be responsible for the decision.
2) Flight crew should report the emergency situation to ATC as soon as
possible. Before deviate from the designated route or flight level,
obtain the clearance from traffic control. Use distress or emergency
signals if necessary.
3) Don’t give up any possible ways to contact ATC without stops until
obtain the clearance when they can’t follow ATC clearance or can’t
obtain ATC clearance. The flight crews are allowed to take actions
before obtaining ATC clearance.
4)If cannot receive the corrected ATC clearance in time but need to take
actions to avoid the conflict with other aircraft, the flight crew should
take actions and fly at the altitude where it’s less possible to encounter
other aircraft. Flight crew can decide to leave RVSM flight level (the
vertical space for ocean flight airspace general will be between
FL290-410). That will reduce the possibility to conflict with other
aircraft.
5)Flight crew should report the reason that cann`t maintain RVSM
operation except emergency descent is needed immediately(such as
one engine failure or depressurization rapidly). Flight crew and ATC
make decision together and take appropriate safety action in
accordance with the current condition (such as system failure or
turbulence) .
(1)For system failure, in order not to affect the altitude maintaining
ability and tiny error, the safety action for flight crew is maintain the

Chapter 13 RVSM page: 13-5-1


No.:TJA-OP1
Ver.:1303-0
Flight Operations Manual
Rev.:130709

current altitude and routes. ;Flight crew and ATC notify the latitude
error and keep the distance.
(2)For system severe failure , if the airplane can not keep the altitude
maintaining ability and serious error is existed, it is safety for flight to
change flight level and route, with the ATC correction order.
6)Report to person on duty of TJA Operation Control Dept. by using
communication equipment (satellite communication), and obtain
necessary assistance.
13.5.2 Emergency Procedures within Chinese Territory
Pilots should notify ATC the emergency situations (for example,
equipment failure, weather condition) which will influence the ability to
maintain the designated flight level and coordinate with the controller for
the action plan. Pilots should be familiar with the pilot and controller’s
emergency procedures under emergency situation, when the aircraft is in
one of the following situations, pilots should notify ATC in time.
1)Do not comply with the RVSM operation requirements due to
equipment failure.
2)Loss of redundancy for the altitude measurement system.
ATC must be notify, when pilot fly in RVSM airspace by following
instrument flight rules, and encounter severe turbulence which will
influence altitude maintaining ability then deviate 90 meters (300
feet)from the designated flight level or any other situation above. After
flight, report the deviation to the local safety supervision administration
office.
13.5.2.1 Emergency Handling Procedure: Encounter Adverse Weather
and Aircraft System Failure.
The initial actions taken by pilot should be as follows, when the
designated flight altitude from controller cannot be maintained and
aircraft altitude maintaining performance cannot be determined.
Notify controller and request the following assistance.
1) Try to maintain the flight altitude cleared by controller, and evaluate
the situation at that time.
2) Observe air traffic by visual or using TCAS (if installed)
3) Turn on exterior lighting to warn the other aircraft nearby.
4) Report aircraft position, flight altitude and crew action intention at
121.5 MHz(1 23.45MHz among pilots can be used as backup)

14. RNAV Operation


14.1 Background
On the basis of combination of RNAV and RNP operation practice
from the different countries and regions, ICAO put forward the
PBN concept and standard, as the basic guide line for flight
operation and navigation technique development. PBN concludes
series of different navigation technique application such as RNAV
and RNP etc, and contains all the flight phase from routes to
approach landing. It aims at to provide the worldwide accordant
airworthy requirements and the standard of operation approval by
fully using airborne equipment and navigation system of modern
aircraft.

RNAV1 and RNAV2 is a sort of application of ICAO PBN


navigation technique,generally be used in the routes and terminal
area flight with radar surveillance and direct RT communication.
RNAV1 and RNAV2 have the same requirements to the aircraft
airworthiness,but there are some differentia to the operation
requirements.

14.2 Definition
14.2.1 RNAV. A method of navigation which permits aircraft flying
along any expected path in the navigation signal covering area,
or in the ability restriction of airborne equipment or
combination of the two. RNAV request meeting the stated
accuracy within 95% of the flight time.
14.2.2 PBN is based on the performance. PBN prescribe the aircraft
flying system performance in designate area or along the ATS
flight path, instrument procedure, including navigation
accuracy, integrality, usability and function as needed.
14.2.3 GNSS (Global Navigation Satellite System). GNSS is the
current glossary of satellite navigation, providing worldwide
position, speed and time service. It consists of one or more
secondary planet constellation, airborne receiver and monitor of
keeping the system intact, etc. It includes American GPS,
European Galileo, Russian Glonass, Chinese Compass, SBAS
and GBAS etc.
14.2.4 ABAS (Airborne Augment System). ABAS is a sort of system
to enhance and (or) combine the information from GNSS
system by using airborne information.
14.2.5 RAIM (Receiver Autonomous Integrity Monitoring).RAIM is
the most common way of ABAS. It use GPS signal or utilize air
pressure altitude to confirm the GPS navigation signal is in
good condition. This technology is realized by examining the
coherence of redundant illusory distance measurement. The
receiver/ processor execute RAIM function, and need to receive
at least another secondary planet signal which have suitable
geometry configuration.
14.2.6 DME/DME(D/D)RNAV. RNAV is that to confirm aircraft
position through at least two DME station.
14.2.7 DME/DME/ IRU(D/D/I)RNAV. RNAV is that position
through using at least two DME station and IRU can provide
enough orientation information in the interspace area covering
by DME signal.

14.2.8 Key DME. If some DME is not available, DME/the situation


that DME can’t provide navigation services which are satisfy
routes or procedure requirements will be leaded. This DME
station is called key DME. Eg. If terminal area RNAV
instrument departure procedure and standard arrival procedure
can only use two DME, the two DME station are both off
DME.
Here assumes that aircraft RNAV system satisfy the minimum
standard of DME/DME system stated in accessory 1 of the
announcement, or DME/DME/IRU system minimum standard
stated in accessory 2 of this announcement.

14.2.9 RNAV routes. The routes are delimited according to RNAV


flight method.
14.2.10 RNAV procedure. RNAV instrument departure procedure or
RNAV standard terminal area arrival procedure.
Instrument departure procedure (DP). Instrument departure
procedure is published IFR procedure , providing obstacle
clearance protection from terminal area to route.
STAR (Standard Instrument Arrival) procedure. Standard
terminal area arrival is published IFR air traffic control arrival
procedure, providing transform from route to terminal area.
14.2.11 FTE (Flight Technical Error). The precision of aircraft control
is according to indication position and fixed or expected
position differences. FTE don’t include error which is caused
by incorrect operation.
14.2.12 PEE. It’s the deviation value of estimated position relative to
actual position.
14.2.13 The general system error. It’s the deviation of actual position
relative to expected position. The general system error equals to
the vector sum of flight path definition error, FTE, PEE.

14.4 Flight Procedure


14.4.1 Pre-flight Planning
14.4.1.1 During the pre-flight planning stage, verify that the operation
(including any non-RNAV emergency procedure) required navaids
are available in the period of predicted operation. Verify that there
are necessary airborne NAVAIDS for the operating route
available. The airborne navigation data should be applicable to the
area of operation, and include navaids, waypoints and original,
destination, and alternate airports.
14.4.1.2 During the pre-flight planning, write an “R” at Item 10 and
indicate PBN/approved navigation ability at Item 18. For
example, PBN/C2C3D2D3 for E145, PBN/C2C3D2D3S2 for
E190 and PBN/C1D1S2 for A320.
14.4.1.3 Dual RNAV systems must be verified to be available if the
airspace authority in charge regulates that a specific RNAV
procedure requires dual RNAV systems in the AIP.
14.4.1.4 The GPS receiver should be verified to be functioned with RAIM,
and the latest notification of the detailed satellite unavailable
information should be obtained.
14.4.1.5 To the navigation which based on DME, the NOTAM and related
information should be checked; the usability of key DME should
be confirmed. The flight crew should evaluate navigation ability
which under the condition that Key DME is inoperative in flight
(maybe should fly to alternate destination).
14.4.1.6 Airborne NAV database must be effective, and is suitable for
planning operation area, including terminal area flight procedure
and route of takeoff airport, destination airport and alternate
airport of NAVID, way point and code.
Note: It must be verified that NAV database is effective in flight.
If the AIRAC changes in flight compare between electrical data
and paper data can be adopted in order to the accuracy of NAV
data and applicability of NAVID.
An acceptable way is that to confirm the change of waypoint by
comparing the new and old chart before the dispatcher clearance.
The database can not be used if the publicized chart is different
from the database.
14.4.1.7 If GNSS equipment is not be fixed, the NAV system must update
position by using DME/DME/IRU.
14.4.1.8 The Operation Control Dept. should use RAIM prediction
information provided by Air Traffic Control unit, may also use the
prediction function of the RAIM prediction software or receiver
with specific mode to satisfy the RAIM requirements. If it is
predicted that the RAIM loss of the any phase of plan flight lasts
more than 5 minutes, the flight should be postponed or cancelled,
or the flight planning will be drawn out again in the area which
satisfied RAIM demands. The crew should

Chapter 14 RNAV page: 14-4-1


No.:TJA-OP1
Flight Operations Manual Ver.:1303-0
Rev.:130709

evaluate navigation ability in case of GPS navigation failure (may


need to fly to alternate airport).
14.4.1.9 To the aircraft which use SBAS receiver (all TSO-C145/C146),
The company should check the usability of GPS RAIM in the
area that SBAS signal cannot be used.
14.4.1.10 The prediction of RAIM usability cannot ensure GPS validity
per se, it’s a way to evaluate the estimated NAV ability can
satisfy NAV performance or not. The flight crew must recognize
the alternate NAV method is needed because of RAIM or GPS
NAV ability is likely to be both inoperative in the air. So the
flight crew should evaluate the NAV ability (may need to fly to
alternate airport) under the situation that GPS NAV is
inoperative.
14.4.1.11 The flight crew needs to confirm the usability of airborne
NAVID which operation needed.
14.4.2 General operational procedure
14.4.2.1 Only after obtaining operation approval of RNAV1 and RNAV2,
the flight crew can apply routes or arrival and departure of
RNAV1 and RNAV2. If the aircraft which doesn’t satisfy the
related standard receive RNAV permission issued by ATC, the
flight crew must inform ATC not to accept the permission, and
apply the other instructions.
14.4.2.2 During the initialization of the system, flight crew must verify
that the NAV database is available and confirm that the aircraft
position entry is correct. The flight crew must confirm that the
routes designated by ATC and the routes which will have
followup change are input according to the initial permission.
And must ensure that waypoint sequence provided by NAV
system is consistent with the routes described in chart and the
designated route.
14.4.2.3 RNAV DP and STAR must be moved out from airborne NAV
database according to the process name, and should be verified
that it is identical with the chart. The route can be modified by
inserting or deleting designated way point according to ATC
permission instruction.
14.4.2.4 When applicable, RNAV route should be extracted wholly from
the database, avoiding move out RNAV way points one by one.
On the precondition that the whole way point in the published
route has joined already, it’s allowed to select and insert several
way points which have been named already from the database.
It’s not allowed to create a new way point by entering longitude
and latitude coordinate manually or enter or create a new way
point in distance/position mode.
14.4.2.5 The waypoint cannot be input manually in the longitude, latitude
or distance position mode. It is prohibited for the flight crew to
change way point type (intercept or fly over) of the

Chapter 14 RNAV page: 14-4-2


No.:TJA-OP1
Flight Operations Manual Ver.:1303-0
Rev.:130709

database.
14.4.2.6 The flight crew should cross check the permissive flight plan by
referencing the chart or adopting the other applicable ways.
If it is applicable, navigation system text display and MAP
display should be checked too. If needed, the remove of certain
NAVAIDS should be confirmed. Don’t use this procedure, if the
procedure’s validity of the navigation database can not be
confirmed.
Note: the flight crew may notice that there are slight difference
about the contents between navigation information described in
the chart and the main navigation display. The 3°heading
difference or less may be caused by the difference about the
magnetism difference data of the equipment manufacturer, it’s
acceptable in operation.
14.4.2.7 To confirm that the designate routes, arrival and departure
procedure has been entered correctly in RNAV system or FMS.
A DP. Before flight, the flight crew should verify that the airborne
navigation system is operated normally, runway and departure
procedure (include applicable route transition) have been entered
to RNAV system, and display correctly. The change of runway,
procedure and route transition is demanded after designating the
RNAV departure procedure, the flight crew must verify the
change has been transmitted to RNAV system and is applicable
to navigation. Final check of the runway and related DP before
take off is suggested.
B Route. The flight crew must verify that the designated routes in
the initial permission instruction and the route demanded to
change have been entered correctly into RNAV system. The
flight crew must confirm the way point sequence provided by the
navigation system is matching the related chart and the
designated routes.
C STAR. The flight crew must verify airborne navigation system is
operating normally, the related arrival procedure and runway
have been entered into RNAV system and display correctly.
14.4.2.8 The use of MAP display
Before takeoff, the flight crew should reference the display of
navigation map, and verify the interrelation between the aircraft
position and designated runway and DP, and verify matching the
outer visual inspection and chart. Especially,
once enter or near the designated runway, the flight crew should
confirm the MAP display is consistent with the relation between
aircraft and runway position, route display tallies the chart.
During flight, the display of MAP should be consistent with the
display of character in order to confirm the correctness of route.

Rev.:130709

14.4.2.9 To RNAV2 route, the flight crew should use HDI (Horizontal
Deviation Indicator), FD (Flight Director) or autopilot in LNAV
mode. The flight crew can use the MAP display which is
equivalent to Horizontal Deviation Indicator, and need not to use
flight indicator or autopilot. To RNAV1 route, the flight crew
must use Horizontal Deviation Indicator (or equivalent MAP
display), flight indicator and (or) autopilot in LNAV mode.
The flight crew must verify horizontal deviation scale is
matching with the demand of navigation precision in flight
procedure. Full scale deviation:RNAV1 ±1NM,RNAV 2
±2NM。
Except for ATC approving the deviation or encountering
emergency situation, in the whole period of RNAV operation
stated in this announcement, the flight crew should maintain at
the route centerline according to airborne horizontal deviate on
indicator and (or) flight guidance system. To the normal
operation, lateral track error or deviation (the differentia between
aircraft position and path calculated by RNAV system, ie. FTE)
should be controlled within ±1/2 of related procedure or route
navigation precision (eg. 0.5NM for RNAV1, 1.0NM for
RNAV2). It is allowed that temporary deviation (turn earlier or
later) which twice the navigation precision for maximum appears
after procedure or turning enroute, eg. 1.0NM for RNAV1, 2.0
NM for RNAV2.
Note: there’s no theory track display or calculation for some
aircraft in turning period. Under this condition, the flight crew
for this aircraft type may not maintain the precision demand of
less than±1/2 when turning enroute , but the precision demand
are still be requested to be satisfied after turning and in the
“direct to” leg.
14.4.2.10 If ATC issue a heading demand to disengage the aircraft from
RNAV procedure or route, the flight crew should not change the
procedure or route of RNAV system before receive the
permission of rejoin or a new permission issued by controller. If
the aircraft don’t fly in the published procedure or route, the
prescriptive precise demand is not applicable.
14.4.2.11 The function of manual select bank limitation is not commended;
the ability of maintaining expected flight path will be reduced by
using this function, especially under steep
turning conditions.
14.4.2.12 To the aircraft which have RNP ability, modification of the RNP
default set by manufacturer in the flight management computer
is not requested.
14.4.3 RNAV DP Special Requirement

14.4.3.1 RNAV DP engagement altitude. When conducting DP, the flight


crew engages RNAV equipment at 400 ft above the airport
elevation, obtains the lateral RNAV flight guidance. Usually
RNAV guidance initial altitude is higher than this altitude. (Eg.
Direct to certain waypoint after climbing to 300 meters
(1000feet) )
14.4.3.2 The flight crew must adopt horizontal deviation indicator (or
equivalent MAP display, the LNAV mode of flight indicator and
(or) autopilot). The ±1NM deviation of scale CDI is allowed.
14.4.3.3 GNSS signal must be received before takeoff run.
14.4.3.4 The takeoff airport must be entered in the Flight Plan to obtain
the corresponding navigation system surveillance and sensitivity.
14.4.4 Special requirements of RNAV STAR
14.4.4.1 The flight crew should verify that the correct arrival route has
been entered before the arrival phase. Chart and other applicable
documents should be compared with MAP display (if available)
and MCDU to check that the flight plan is valid. These include
the verification of waypoint sequence, track angle and distance
rationality, altitude and speed restriction, and confirmation of
by-passing waypoints and over-flying waypoints. If navigation
updating requires removing certain NAVID, please check and
confirm. If the route validity of a procedure in the navigation
database is in doubt, do not use it.
14.4.4.2 The flight crew must adopt horizontal deviation indication (or
equivalent navigation MAP display), flight indicator and (or)
LNAV mode in RNAV1 STAR. The ±1NM deviation of full
scale course deviation indicator is allowed.
14.4.4.3 The flight crew is not allowed to enter a new created waypoint
by entering it manually in the RNAV system, which will make
the RNAV procedure inoperative.
14.4.4.4 If emergency back to the conventional procedure is needed, the
flight crew should get prepared necessarily for it.
14.4.4.5 The process correction in the terminal area can be made by radar
heading or “Direct To”, which may include the insertion of a
manoeuver waypoint in the database into the flight plan; the
flight crew must be able to react in time. Flight crew is not
allowed to use a temporary waypoint not in the database or to
make a manual entry or to revise a procedure in the database.
14.4.4.6 The flight crew must verify the aircraft navigation system is
operating normally, and the transmitted arrival procedure and
runway information (including applicable route transition) are
both correct.
14.4.4.7 The published altitude and speed restriction must be observed.

14.5 Emergency Procedure


14.5.1 During the flight from outside to the RNAV area, once system
failure occurred and it is determined that there is no more RNAV
capability available for the airplane, the flight crew should
maintain the conventional navigation mode and report to the
RNAV area controller in advance to obtain the clearance to fly
into the RNAV area with conventional navigation mode or not to
fly into the RNAV area. Then flight crew continues the following
flight plan according to the clearance and airplane status.
14.5.2 During the flight in the RNAV area, once system failure occurred
and it is determined that there is no more RNAV capability
available for the airplane, the flight crew should maintain the
flight with conventional navigation mode according to the
published RNAV Emergency Procedure of the area and report to
ATC in time to obtain a clearance for the following flight.
14.5.3 During the flight in the RNAV area, for an airplane loss of
RNAV capability due to a system failure, the flight crew should
report to the RNAV area ATC in time when the system restores
the RNAV capability to obtain the clearance or other order to
continue the flight plan according to the RNAV procedure.
14.5.4 Once communication failure occurs, the flight crew should carry
out the RNAV procedure continually according to the published
Communication failure procedure.

14.6 Event Report


If any event that influences or may influence the normal RNAV
operation in the flight operation occurs, the company should
report it to the Principle Operation Inspector of the local Civil
Aviation Administration within 10 calendar days. Such as:
14.6.1 An irrelative navigation error during the transition from inertial
navigation mode to the radio navigation mode (i.e., map shift)
14.6.2 A momentous navigation error caused by an incorrect database
navigation data code.
14.6.3 An accidental deviation of lateral or vertical flight path caused
by a non-pilot entry.
14.6.4 A momentous navigation error without a failure warning.
14.6.5 Complete or multi failures of NAVID.

14.7 Navigation error analysis


Flight Quality Center should analyze the character and
ponderance of navigation error according to the event report and
QAR data of navigation error, in order to the related correction
measure. The repeated navigation error may be related to
specific navigation tache, it needs to be checked and to eliminate
the factor that causing the error.
The character of error source determines the measure way, the
measures can be adopted include: modification of training
outline, complementarily training, application of restriction
system or modification of navigation system software, etc.

accuracy requirement is ±1NM (±0.3NM for final straight in
approach segment). Use barometric altimeter for vertical altitude.
RNP approach with authorization required (RNP AR
APCH/SAAAR) is applicable for initial approach segment,
intermediate approach segment, final approach segment and
missed approach segment. The lateral accuracy requirement is
±0.3NM. It features that the final approach segment can be

14.8.2 Relevant definitions
14.8.2.1 RNP approach (RNP APCH)
RNP APCH includes approach procedures and RNAV (based on
GNSS) procedures in straight-in approach phase, with the
accuracy of 0.3. GNSS is the main navigation source for RNP
approach procedure. When designing the procedure, the
acceptability of losing RNP approach ability due to satellite
failure or loss of onboard monitoring and alerting functions shall
be taken into consideration. It can be RNAV or traditional
navigation procedure in missed approach segment. This
navigation specification does not include relevant requirements
for communication and monitoring.
14.8.2.2 RNP with authorization required approach (RNP AR APCH)
RNP AR APCH features that special approval from the authority
is required for the approach procedures, aircraft and flight crew.

Chapter 14 RNAV page: 14-8-1


No.:TJA-OP1
Flight Operations Manual Ver.:1303-0
Rev.:130709

This is normally used for airport with complex terrain and


restricted airspace to achieve obvious improvement. The
accuracy is between 0.3 and 0.1. It is only allowed to use GNSS
as the navigation source for RNP AR APCH. The RNP accuracy
that can actually be reached shall be predicted. This specification
does not include relevant requirements for communication and
monitoring. Currently, RNP AR APCH is applied to Lasa Airport,
Linzhi Airport and Lijiang Airport, etc.
14.8.2.3 Area navigation (RNAV).
RNAV is defined as “a method of navigation which permits
aircraft operation on any desired flight path within the coverage
of station-referenced navigation aids or within the limits of the
capability of self-contained aids, or a combination of these.”
RNAV system can be a part of Flight Management System
(FMS).
14.8.2.4 Required navigation performance (RNP)
RNP is the RNAV with the ability of onboard performance
monitoring and alerting (OPMA).
14.8.2.5 RNP procedure
In this circular, RNP procedure refers to SID, STAR and
instrument approach.
14.8.2.6 RNP accuracy.
RNP value is the lateral navigation accuracy during 95% of

applicable for arrival and departure, initial approach,
intermediate approach and missed approach; while RNP-0.3 is
for final approach leg.
14.8.2.7 Barometric vertical navigation (Baro-VNAV)
Baro-VNAV is one of the RNAV system functions, which
provides the computed vertical guidance with respect to
specified vertical track. This vertical guidance is based on
barometric altitude, computes and defines vertical profile by the
barometric altitude between two waypoints or the vertical angle
based on one single waypoint.
14.8.2.8 Decision altitude (DA)
DA is a designated altitude above mean sea level during the
approach with vertical guidance. If the required visual reference
cannot be established at this altitude, go-around must be
performed immediately.
14.8.2.9 Global navigation satellite system (GNSS)
GNSS is a generic term of satellite navigation which provides
positioning, speed detection and time service, consisting of one
or several satellite constellations, onboard receivers and system
integrity monitoring, etc. GNSS includes GPS in US, Galileo in
Europe, Glonass in Russia, Compass in China, and
satellite-based system (SBAS) as well as ground-based
augmentation system (GBAS).
14.8.2.10 Global Positioning System (GPS)
GPS is a U.S. location-based service on a global
scale satellite radio navigation system; the civil service

Chapter 14 RNAV page: 14-8-2


No.:TJA-OP1
Flight Operations Manual Ver.:1303-0
Rev.:130709

is defined in the GPS Standard Positioning


System signal specification. The system consists of the space
segment, control section, and user parts.
14.8.2.11 Receiver autonomous integrity monitoring (RAIM)
RAIM uses the GPS signal or pressure altitude to assist GPS to
determine the integrity of the navigation signals. This technique
is achieved by examining the consistency of redundant pseudo
range measurements. To perform the RAIM function, besides a
required located satellite, the receiver / processor needs at least
another one to receive the appropriate geometry of the satellite
signal.
14.8.2.12 Flight management system (FMS).
An integrated system consists of the airborne sensor, receiver
and computer with the navigation database and performance
database. It can transmit performance and area navigation data
to the display device and automatic flight control system.

A feature of RNAV system that is used to calculate, display and
provide the lateral guidance of the flight path.
14.8.2.14 Flight technical error(FTE).
Control the aircraft accuracy, which is determined by
the difference of the aircraft indicated position
and desired position. FTE does not include errors caused
by misoperation.
14.8.2.15 Navigation system error (NSE).
The difference between the real position and estimated position,
and is also known as the location estimation error (PEE).
14.8.2.16 Estimates position uncertainty (EPU).
An expression of the current position
estimation performance parameters, in nautical miles, also
known as the actual navigation performance (ANP) or the
estimated position error (EPE). EPU is not the actual error
estimates, but the statistical results of the position error.
14.8.2.17 Path definition error (PDE).
It refers to the difference between the defined flight path and
required flight path.
14.8.2.18 Total system error (TSE).
It refers to the actual location of the error relative to the desired
position. TSE is equal to the vector sum of PDE, the FTE NSE.

the turning center and radius of the arc flight path.
14.8.3 RNP operation requirements in terminal and approach areas

Chapter 14 RNAV page: 14-8-3


No.:TJA-OP1
Flight Operations Manual Ver.:1303-0
Rev.:130709

1) Navigation facilities:
GNSS is the main navigation source supporting RNP operation.
When using GNSS, unless it is required in AFM, pilots do not
have to monitor the position updates provided by
location-based navigation facilities.
Traditional procedures based on ground navigation facilities
(e.g.: VOR, DME and NDB) can still be used for missed
approach segment in approach procedure.
For several aircrafts, the acceptability of RNP APCH capability
loss risk due to satellite failure or loss of onboard performance
monitoring and alerting function (OPMA) must be taken into
consideration by ATC.
2) Air traffic monitoring support:
Use procedure control or air traffic service (ATS).
3) RNP APCH procedure published mark:
RNAV (GNSS) or (GPS) in approach chart or other
publication/navigation chart.
4) Traditional glide slop profile and altitude requirements can
still be used in RNP approach operation.
5) Operation standards of RNP approach
Generally RNP approach includes LNAV and LNAV/VNAV
minimum operating standards.
Aircraft meeting the requirements in AC Approval Guide of
Implementing RNP Operation in Terminal Area and for
Approach (not including Appendix) can perform LNAV
operating minima while aircraft meeting the requirements in
AC Approval Guide of Implementing RNP Operation in
Terminal Area and for Approach (including Appendix 1
Baro-VNAV) can perform LNAV/VNAV operating minima.
14.8.3.2 Requirements for aircraft capability and onboard equipment
1) Accuracy
Aircraft must meet the requirements in RTCA/DO-236B 2.1.1.
During RNP departure and arrival, initial approach,
intermediate approach and missed approach, the lateral TSE
and along-track error must be less than±1NM within at least
95% of total flight time.
During final approach, the lateral TSE and along-track error
must be less than±0.3NM within at least 95% of total flight
time.
During departure and arrival, initial approach, intermediate
approach and missed approach, FTE shall not exceed 0.5NM,
while during final approach, FTE shall not exceed 0.25NM.
Note: Lateral deviation is displayed during departure and
arrival, initial approach, intermediate approach and missed
approach phases. It is considered to meet the requirements to
use full scale deviation of 1NM during departure and arrival,

Chapter 14 RNAV page: 14-8-4


No.:TJA-OP1
Flight Operations Manual Ver.:1303-0
Rev.:130709

initial approach, intermediate approach and missed approach,


while full scale deviation of 0.3NM during final approach.
2) Integrity
It is considered to be primary failure (10-5/h) that TSE exceeds
twice of RNP value due to aircraft navigation equipment fault.
3) Continuity
Loss of navigation capability is considered to be secondary
failure if the aircraft can use other navigation systems and
safely land at an appropriate alternate airport.
4) Performance monitoring and alerting
During departure and arrival, initial approach, intermediate
approach and missed approach, if accuracy requirements in
item 1) are not met, or if the probability of lateral TSE
exceeding 2NM is higher than 10-5, RNP system (or pilots
combine RNP system) should give an alert. During final
approach, if accuracy requirements in item 1) are not met, or if
the probability of lateral TSE exceeding 0.6NM is higher than
10-5, RNP system (or pilots combine RNP system) should give
an alert.
5) Space signal
During departure and arrival, initial approach, intermediate
approach and missed approach, if the probability of lateral
positioning error caused by space signal exceeding 2NM is
higher than 10-7/h, onboard navigation equipment should give
an alert. During final approach, if the probability of lateral
positioning error caused by space signal exceeding 0.6NM is
higher than 10-7/h, onboard navigation equipment should give
an alert.
Note: if traditional method (VOR, DME, NDB or dead
reckoning) is used for missed approach, there is no RNP
requirement for missed approach.
6) Functional requirements for navigation display
Navigation display and its functions should meet the following
requirements. Navigation data, including TO/FROM indication
and failure indication, must be shown on lateral deviation
displays (CDI, EHSI) and/or navigation map display. These
displays must be used as primary flight instruments for early
turn and indications of failure/status/integrity. Non-digital
lateral deviation displays that meet the above requirements
should have the following features:
(1) The displays should be visible and installed within the front
main view of the pilot.
(2) The lateral deviation display scale should be in accordance
with the alert or prompt limit (if applicable).

Chapter 14 RNAV page: 14-8-5

Flight Operations Manual Ver.:1303-0
Rev.:130709

(3) Lateral deviation display must have a full deviation scale


that suits the current flight phase and is based on TSE
requirements.
(4) The scale indication of the display can be automatically set
by default logic, or can be set according to navigation
database. The full deviation scale corresponding to RNP
value must be clear or visible to pilots.
(5) Lateral deviation display must automatically servo to RNP
computed flight path. It is suggested that the course
selector of lateral deviation indication automatically follow
the RNP computed path.
Note: this item is not applicable to the electronic map display
that is able to display flight path and path deviation.
(6) As the other method, navigation map display must obtain
the equal function with lateral deviation display;
meanwhile, it must have an appropriate map scale (which
can be manually set by pilot as well). Also navigation map
display must achieve TSE requirements and be within the
main flight view.
7) System functions
System functions shall achieve at least the following
requirements:
(1) On primary flight instruments (primary navigation
displays) that guide the aircraft, RNP computed flight
path and the position information of the aircraft with
respect to that path shall be continuously displayed for
PF. For operation requiring at least two pilots, the
system must ensure that PM is able to confirm the
flight path and the position information of the aircraft
with respect to that path.
(2) Navigation database includes the currently effective
navigation data which is published by the authority and
updated according to AIRAC. The resolution ratio of
the data storage must ensure to achieve the required
flight path accuracy. The stored data must be protected
so as not to be modified by pilots.
(3) The validity of the navigation data shall be displayed
for pilots.
(4) The waypoints and navigation facilities stored in
navigation database can be retrieved and displayed for
pilots to verify the route to be flown.
(5) The whole departure and arrival procedure or approach
procedure can be imported to RNP system from
database. Invoke the procedure by using the name of
the procedure or the route.
Note: for departure and arrival route, the heading
segment before the first waypoint and after the last
waypoint may not be included in the database.

display page that is easy to access, the following things
should be displayed:
(a) Distance between flight plan waypoints.
(b) Distance to next waypoint.
(c) Along-track distance between waypoints.
(d) Currently used type of navigation sensor.
(e) Verify next To waypoint
(f) Ground speed or time to next To waypoint.
(g) Distance and bearing to next To waypoint.
(7) “Direct to” function can be performed.
(8) Flight segments can be automatically sequenced and
displayed for pilots.
(9) The RNP procedure invoked from onboard database
can be executed. Fly-over and fly-by turns can be
made.
(10) Automatically complete segment transition and track
holding according to the following ARINC424 path
terminator codes:
(a) Initial fix (IF)
(b) Track to a fix (TF)
(c) Course to a fix (CF)
(d) Direct to a fix (DF)
(11) For departure route, aircraft must be able to perform
VA, VM and VI segments, or after reaching the
required altitude, fly a manual heading to join a route
or direct to another fix.
(12) For departure and arrival routes, aircraft must be able
to perform CA segment, fly to or fly away from a
designated waypoint along a desired track.
Note: there are the definitions of path terminator codes
in ARINC424 specification, and more detailed
descriptions of the usage in RTCA documents
DO-236B and DO-201A. The track value must be
automatically imported from RNP system database.
(13) RNP system failure prompt should be displayed within
the pilot’s primary view.
(14) Flight crew shall be alerted in case of exceeding NSE
alert limit. (the alert is provided by onboard
performance monitoring and alerting function)
8) Flight director/autopilot
It is suggested to couple flight director and/or autopilot
with RNP system. This will become compulsory if lateral
TSE cannot be displayed without using flight director
and/or autopilot. At that time, there must be a compulsory
rule in the operational procedure to couple flight director

Chapter 14 RNAV page: 14-8-7


No.:TJA-OP1
Flight Operations Manual Ver.:1303-0
Rev.:130709

and/or autopilot with RNP system.


9) Baro-VNAV requirements (when performing LNAV/VNAV
approach
(1) It should be stated in AFM manual or AFM supplement
that the VNAV system is approved for approach
operation. Besides, vertical deviation indicator (VDI)
must be installed. Since the scale/sensitivity of VDI
vary a lot, flight director or autopilot must be equipped
and used to track vertical path. It can be considered as
maintaining on preselected VNAV course within the
flight altitude deviation of +100/-50ft.
(2) Database requirement
Onboard navigation database must contain waypoints
and relevant VNAV information, like waypoint altitude
and vertical path angle of flight procedures, etc.
10) The types of aircraft in TJA that are authorized to perform
RNP APCH procedure are as follows:
A320 (refer to the approval list of A320 in company
operation specification)
E190 (refer to the approval list of E190 in company
operation specification)
14.8.3.3 Flight crew qualification

15.8 Abnormal situations


15.8.1 Definition:
Non-normal international flight refers to the delay, alternate landing,
cancellation, and return of the international flight due to weather, sudden
event, ATC, security check, passenger, maintenance, flight schedule
adjustment, commercial reasons or flight crew etc.
15.8.2 Principle
A The duty flight dispatcher of Operation Control Dept.shall closely
track the process of the international flight, find out the reason and new
schedule when non-normal conditions occur and inform the Planning and
Coordination Seat.
B According to the principle in Non-normal Flight Adjustment
Procedure that the international flight has priority, the planning and
coordination seat produce the adjustment plan and submit to chief duty
person for approval.
C The chief duty person sign and issue Flight Adjustment Notification,
and responsible for implementation.D When the non-normal conditions
of the flight has been confirmed, the dispatch agent of the local airport,
sales offices and other departments should be notified as soon as possible,
and the non-normal telegraph shall be send to domestic Air traffic control
department and agents.
15.8.3After the airplane diverts, the captain must perform rights which the
company gives and fulfills the captain’s responsibility. The flight crew
should perform the following procedures after confirm that the aircraft is
in the safe condition:
A Open all the available communication equipment, and contact the
Operation Control Dept. of TJA, feed back the information to the director
on duty;
B Notify passengers in time, understand passengers’ requirement and
try to appease passengers and make them understood and coordinate;
C Take the possible means to make sure flight crews and passengers
are not interrupted and maintain the company’s image;
D Hand over passengers and the aircraft to the ground personnel
according to the company operation clearance. The captain and the flight
crew person who performs the captain role should not leave the airplane
before the handover of passengers and aircraft;
E Ask the flight crew member and the ground personnel to seal up the
airplane equipment and articles, ensure the safety of the airplane and
airplane commodities.
15.8.4 Engine surge
1) The engine surge or air compressor lost speed may result in:

Chapter 15 International Operations page: 15-8-1


No.:TJA-OP1
Flight Operations Manual Ver.:1303-0
Rev.:130709

(1)The engine restored normal parameter without any actions taken by


the flight crew;
(2)Retard the thrust lever to idle, and the engine will be back to normal;
(3) Engine shut down.
2) Actions
(1) If the aforesaid 1) (2) and (3) conditions occurred in the Class I
navigation area, select the nearest suitable airport to land. If the
conditions occur soon after taking off, return to the departure airport. If
the aforesaid 1) (1) condition occurs, the PIC shall select suitable airport
for alternate landing;
(2)If the aforesaid 1) (2) and (3) conditions occurred in the Class II
navigation area, implement the diversion and alternate landing procedure
immediately and divert according to CFP. Please refer to route manuals
for the diversion and alternate landing procedure. Under such condition,
engine replacement shall be considered no matter which airport the
aircraft was landed.
Caution: If the above condition happens prior to entering the ETOPS area,
the flight crew shall return immediately.
15.8.5 Fuel temperature during cruising
During long-distance, high-altitude and high latitude flight, the fuel
temperature may drop to freezing point if the aircraft encounters cold air
mass.
1) Responsibility of the flight dispatcher
The dispatcher should check the temperature at cruising altitude. If
the reported temperature might result in fuel freezing, the dispatcher
should note this in the flight plan and consider changing flight rout and
altitude.
2) Responsibility of the flight crew
Operation restriction requires fuel temperature shall not lower than the
fuel freezing temperature listed in the following table. The fuel tank
minimum temperature in table is 3 degrees higher than fuel freezing
temperature because the actual fuel temperature might be a little different
due to the different location of temperature sensors in fuel tank. When
fuel temperature drop to be the minimum temperature, the flight crew
shall take the following actions:
(1) Accelerate
(2) Change altitude
(3) Divert to warmer area
3) Integrates the measures above mentioned,
When the frozen point is reached, fuel will not turn into solid status.
The wax in the fuel will turn into crystal.
