procedures as specified in the operating manuals should be based on such
as longest distance of standard Instrument departure, standard Arrival,
applicable climb, cruise and descend procedures in conjunction of runway
in use.

In principle the optimum altitude must be planned except that for short
distance flights the cruise altitude selected should allow for a minimum
horizontal cruise segment of 5 (five) minutes. For long distance flights the
Optimum altitude step schedule must be followed in flight planning.
Where the applicable data and/or procedures are not known, conservative
assumptions should be made.

Taxi Fuel
A standard quantity of fuel to cover APU consumption for engine starts and
ground maneuvers until start of takeoff. The amount may be increased
when required by local conditions.

Trip Fuel
Fuel required to fly from aerodrome of departure to the planned
destination, based on “Planned Operating Conditions”. The amount shall
include fuel for takeoff, climb, cruise, descent, approach and landing.

Route reserve Fuel (RR)


A quantity of fuel to cover deviations from the “Planned Operating
Conditions”. The quantity of fuel consists of :

a. 5 % of trip fuel for Domestic operations.


b. 10% of trip fuel for International Jet operations.

go-around at destination, climb, cruise, descent, approach and landing at
Alternate. Calculation is based on LR Cruise, planned landing weight and a
realistic flight level.
If two Alternates are required, the “Alternate fuel” must be planned for the
longer distance alternate.

Holding fuel
Holding fuel is a legal amount of fuel, which is to be regarded as a final
quantity.

Extra fuel
Fuel uplifted in addition to minimum block fuel.

FLIGHT PLANS

4.1. GENERAL

The basic rule is that for all PT.NAM AIR flight plans for the stretch to be
flown shall normally be prepared by the station of departure, under the
responsibility of Flight dispatcher.

However, remote station may issue operational flight plans for flight
departing from other airport (this is called remote flight planning).

The Dispatcher at the remote station shall, where necessary, update the
operational flight plan according to the latest available information, and be
sure that PIC is in possession of the following additional information:

• The latest meteorological information


• The latest NOTAM
• A copy of the ATC flight plans.

The law requires that a flight shall not be commenced until the Pilot in
Command has satisfied himself that:
• The aircraft airworthy.
• The instruments, equipment and documents for the particular aircraft
and type of operation to be taken area, on onboard and in good order.
• The aircraft maintenance log and the maintenance release certificate
are completed and signed.
• The available information appropriate to the intended operation,
including all available current weather reports and forecast, indicate
that the flight can be completed as planned.
• The load to be carried is distributed and secured in accordance with
pertinent instructions and safety regulations.
• The flight can be conducted safety in accordance with the operating
limitations as laid down in this manual and in the AOM.
• The operations flight plan has been completed.

To indicated, that all items mentioned above have been checked the Pilot
in Command is required by law to sign the following statement printed on
the flight plan:

“I certify that I have satisfied myself that all factors which from
the basic of flight preparation are in accordance with the pertinent

4.2. OPERATIONAL FLIGHT PLANNING

The operational flight plan is a document having legal status and should
contain flight level and track can be derived.

All PT.NAM AIR flights should be provided with a company flight level plan
or handling agent that is can provide the operational flight plan. For the
flight with 2 (persons) cockpit crew, the operations flight plan shall be
prepared in 3 (three) folds and distributed:

• One copy for the Pilot in command


• One copy for Flight Dispatcher
• One copy for destination airport.

To avoid any possible miss-interpretation of the operational flight plan, the


Pilot in command should distribute copies of the operational plan after the
operational flight plan has been signed by Dispatcher.

When it is not possible to deposit a copy of the operational flight plan with
PT.NAM AIR or its representative, the copy shall be left with aerodrome
authority or on record in a suitable at the point of departure.

CHAPTER 4
FLIGHT PLANS

4.3. ATC FLIGHT PLAN

The flight dispatcher normally prepares all ATC flight plan for PT.NAM AIR
flights on duty or Pilot in Command. It is Company policy, that all flights is
executed under IFR irrespective of weather conditions, this implies that for
every line flight an IFR clearance has to be obtained and that IFR flight
plan must not be cancelled.

No clearance, requiring to maintain own separation and to remain in VMC


for the cruise portion of the flight, shall be accepted.

For limited portions of climb, descent and approach an exception may be


made by day, when non-acceptance of such clearance would result in
unacceptable fuel penalties or delays, provided; Weather conditions are
such that flight in uninterrupted VMC is possible throughout such portion
of flight

• Effective service is available


• Known Traffic information is provided by appropriate ATS unit and can
be assessed by Pilot in Command relative to his own flight.
• Separation from other traffic involved, i.e. either closed to relevant
procedural separation standards or such traffic is in sight and positively
identified.

4.3.1. FILLING ATC FLIGHT PLAN

Prior to operating a flight, an IFR flight plan for the entire flight shall
be submitted to ATC. Change to the (file) flight plan shall be notified
as soon as practicable.

In the event of the delay 30 minutes or more in excess of the


estimated off block time for controlled flight, the flight plan shall be
notified as soon as practicable.

The flight plan may submit for each flight individually or for routine
flight on a respective basis. The distinction between the types of
flight plan by: non-stored (repetitive flight plan).

Individual flight plans must be submitted to ATC at least 30 minutes


prior to departure depending on local or region regulations.

Note: In some countries submission of the flight plan is required 3


hours or more in advance when Air Traffic Management
(ATM) measures are in force on the intended routing.

Revision : 00 Date : August 2013 Page : 4–4


FLIGHT DISPATCH MANUAL
CHAPTER 4
FLIGHT PLANS

Notify ATC about either early or delayed departure in excess of 30


minutes notification. Flow of Air traffic control delays are not
required to notify.

4.3.2. REPETITIVE FLIGHT PLAN

Certain states including Indonesia, and scheduled airlines use the


so-called Repetitive flight plan (RPL), where ATC flight plans for
schedule line flight are store by all ATC unit concerned, and
therefore need not to be filled or transmitted as for individual flight.
RPL list are submitted to the appropriate authorities, and are kept
up-to-date for permanent changes. The validity period is the winter
or summer schedule.

Note: As a policy RPL’s are normally submitted for flight which


standard routing(s) and flight level(s) can be establish. This will
limit RPL’s to Flight up to approximately 3:00 hours block time.

The RPL is based on the following criteria:


• Times are off block times (UTC) and total elapse times.
• Cruising speeds (TAS) are rounded –off to nearest 5
Kt.
• Cruising level(s) and routings as selected for prevailing
conditions (on the company flight plan both cruising
levels and routings may optimized for forecast
condition).

4.3.3. INCIDENTAL CHANGES

 Changes of route, flight number, aerodrome of departure


and/or destination.
This requires cancellation of the stored flight plan for the day,
followed by submission of an individual ATC flight plan.

 Change of aircraft, speed and / or cruising level.


This requires notification at the ATC unit at the aerodrome of
departure as soon as possible and or later than 30 minutes
before departure, with the exception that change of cruising
level alone may notified by radiotelephony on initial contact with
aerodrome control tower.

4.3.4. DELAYED FLIGHT

Expected delays, other than ATC reasons, of 30 minutes or more in


excess of the estimated of block time shall be reported in due time
to ATC unit of the aerodrome. Failure of this action may result in
cancellation of the stored flight plan by one or more ATC units
concerned.

8.1. RE-PLANNING DURING FLIGHT

8.1.1. GENERAL

The following information provided for the necessary insight into the
procedures to be followed when considering a delay or diversion,
weather due to weather conditions or technical or commercial
reasons.

The decision weather or not delays or divert an aircraft, to which


extent or to where, will be governed by some principle rules
regarding the protection or reliability and economical considerations
for the Company’s day-to-day operations.

8.1.2. SAFETY REQUIREMENTS

 The performance of flights in accordance with standards for the,


regularity, punctually and service adequacy of all operations, is
of prime and equal importance to both the clients demands and
the Company’s economic circumstances.

 Deviation from these standards is permitted only to serve local


commercial interest in exceptional cases, or to complying force
major circumstances.

 In effecting these deviations, the interest of the majority of


clients should be served, but never to the extent to cause major
injury to the interest of other groups or clients or to the
Company’s economic circumstances.

8.1.3. RESPONSIBILITIES

 Within the prescribed limitations the head of an establishment is


responsible for the proper application of these rules with respect
to the acceptance of schedule deviations en-route for local
commercial reason,

 These matters will always be handling in concern with the person


as Dispatcher on-duty who responsibility to operations Director
and the Captain of the flight involved who is ultimately
responsible for the safety and the operational feasibility as a
whole.
 If the head of an establishment intends measures beyond the
prescribed limitations, the action will always be subject to the
decision of movement control if time circumstance permit.

CHAPTER 8
SCHEDULE IRREGULARITTIES

8.2. PROCEDURES

8.2.1. DELAYED DEPARTURE

No station Director (person as dispatcher duty officer) is changed


the dispatcher and/or Pilot in command with the establishment’s
responsibility for on time flight handling, in practice he will decide
whether intentionally delayed departure with the responsibilities and
limit laid down above for the purpose of meeting local commercial
interest are justified.

The responsibilities to delay beyond these limitations, in exceptional


cases, rest with the head of the establishment or sub establishment
concerned. In every case time and circumstance permit he has
obtain the approval from movement control.

8.2.2. RECALL

The measure of recalling a flight is a matter, which can only be


administrated with the extreme caution and only in extreme
circumstances.

Since the time factor in almost any case will prevent prior direction
from movement control, the head of an establishment is solely and
completely responsible for any such decision, bearing in mind the
far reaching effect of this measure on the reliability and economy of
operations.

8.2.3. FLIGHT DIVERSION

Since time will almost in any case permit, prior consultation the
decision to intentionally divert a flight for commercial reasons, e.g.
over flying stations where no load in committed or an intermediate
landing for reasons to the central direction of movement control, if
the procedure is not separately covered.

If not specified separate instructions, flights should principally divert


to the nearest alternate. This involves the least cost to the Company
with a view to its obligation to carry the passengers immediately
affected to their destination, if necessary by other means of
transport.

From both the majority of its customers and the Company’s own
point of view, it is not desirable to lay down further strict
procedures by which the diversion, caused by operational factors, to
the nearest alternate is made an imperative action.

Revision : 00 Date : August 2013 Page : 7–3


FLIGHT DISPATCH MANUAL
CHAPTER 8
SCHEDULE IRREGULARITTIES

That is to say that, under certain circumstances, if continuation of


the flight to another alternate or to the next scheduled stops is
operationally feasible, this action may be preferable with a view to
securing connections or to meet other commercial requirements.

If time an circumstances permit, Movement control’s directions will


be included in the decision.

In case of in-flight diversions due to operational factors time and


communications may force the Captain to take a decision, based on
all the factors know to him, without consultation with a station or
with Movement Control.
