Jet Airways supports the full, free and uninhibited reporting of all circumstances
affecting safety. Employees are encouraged to report any act or condition
detrimental to safety at the work-place, without fear of punishment or reprisal.
Employees may report events without their identity being publicised.

The current company policy is quoted below :

PY
Voluntary / Confidential Safety Report / Unsafe Situations

O
A small incident of today may result in an accident tomorrow. The experience of
one, when shared with others, might help in prevention of an accident. It is

C
therefore the moral obligation of every employee of Jet Airways to bring to light all
incidents / unsafe practices they might come across which are potential hazard to

D
safety of aircraft or personnel, without fear of any punishment. Aircrews are also
encouraged to file reports about any human factors problems they encounter,
E
whether or not associated with an incident.
LL

Note: Confidentiality of the report will be maintained within the Flight Safety
Department and the identity of the author will only be used to acknowledge
O

the report and to give feedback. Thereafter it will be deleted from the data.
TR

This programme is not intended to supersede the existing accident / incident


reporting procedures required under the rules. All employees are encouraged to
report their safety concerns about any aspect of our operations. The information

SAFETY PERFORMANCE INDICATORS
AND TARGETS
REV 10.0 23 MAY 2017

2.5 SAFETY PERFORMANCE INDICATORS AND TARGETS

The following are the Safety Performance Indicators and Targets set for the Flight
Dispatch :

1) Incorrect OFPs which includes :

a) Incorrect Route Planning in OFP

PY
b) Incorrect Fuel Computation / Planning in OFP

c) Incorrect Weight computation in OFP

O
d) Incorrect MEL incorporation in OFP

C
2) Incorrect Take-off and Landing parameters from OPT / SPS / LPC

3)

4)
Missing NOTAMS

Incorrect Interpretation of AOM


E D
LL

5) Missing Mandatory Documents on board


O

6) Mismatch of RPL data with FPL


TR

7) Dissemination of incorrect fuel figure to trim staff

Safety performance monitoring and measurement is an element of Safety


Assurance component of the SMS framework. It enables continuous monitoring and
N

regular assessment of the safety levels achieved by us during delivery of


O

operational services, and to focus attention on managing operational risks and


maintaining compliance with relevant regulatory requirements.
C

An ICAO Doc 9859 defines Safety performance as organization safety achievement


N

by its safety performance targets and safety performance indicators (SPI).


U

SPIs are data-based safety parameter used for monitoring and assessing safety
performance.

Safety performance targets are the performance objective, typically expressed as a


rate or number over a period of time (e.g. one year)

Setting SPIs and Targets

The Company SMS program requires each operating department to establish its
SPIs based on the safety policy and the safety objectives and/or targets. Normally,
organization’s SPIs are based on State Safety Program (SSP). In the absence of
SSP, the organization / department shall set SPIs in liaison with SMS Manager.

PAGE 9
FLIGHT DISPATCH MANUAL JA/OPS/054

SAFETY MANAGEMENT SYSTEM CHAPTER 2


SAFETY PERFORMANCE INDICATORS
AND TARGETS
REV 10.0 23 MAY 2017

Monitoring of SPIs

Safety performance can only be measured by collecting valid data, both qualitative
and quantitative. These data may be collected through various sources, which will
be used for safety performance monitoring:

• Safety audits and informal inspections

PY
• Safety surveys

• Safety occurrence reporting

O
• Investigation of safety occurrences

C
• Safety studies

D
The safety data is analyzed and the result is used to assess performance of SPIs.
In addition, the result is also used to take appropriate action to improve operational
performance (risk reduction), if any.
E
LL

Achievement of the target (or objective) would represent an improvement in the


safety performance.
O

Primary intent of this exercise was to identify the key areas where any operational
TR

deviation or lapse could lead to potential Safety Impact.

Considering large work scope under DSP (Flight Dispatch and Operational Control)
vide IOSA ISM Section 3), there were many areas to be addressed however
N

following steps were taken in phased manner.


O

Step 1. Certain fundamental key areas listed above were identified as SPI.
C

Step 2. Initially, the work had to start based on an authentic data to identify
N

deviation and operational Impact. At that point of time, OTP data was taken as
initial datum for this exercise. Point may be noted, these OTP analysis was not
U

done for analysing the “On Time Performance” of the department.

Rather from OTP data base, an effort was made to figure out deviations against the
listed SPI categories.

Step 3. This analysis is presented in each FD Refresher Training as awareness


program to bring Learning through Case studies and proactively sensitize
Dispatchers in controlling possible Similar Safety occurrences in future.

AND TARGETS
REV 10.0 23 MAY 2017

Step 4. Post six months of this assessment, w.e.f. Jan 2016, another set of
authentic data source were brought under the purview of this analysis.

1. Pilots Report 2. FD Special Report (FDSR) 3. Operational Report from


Stakeholders

Step 5. Introducing SPI data capture from Regional Flight Dispatch level by
respective Unit

PY
Managers of FD through sample check and Documentation w.e.f. 01 Apr 2016

O
In view of Step 5, all the team members has been encouraged to actively
participate in this and also contribute preparing “Risk Assessments” relevant to their

C
areas of functions.

All team members are encouraged to send reports whenever anything significant

D
has been observed and all SPI related inputs should be sent to
Flightdespatch.reports@jetairways.com with a copy to Reporting Manager, DGM /

6.1.5 Availability of Soft Copies of Documents in Flight Dispatch

6.1.5.1 Background

Latest manual / documents related to Flight Operations are available on company


website http://fltops.jetairways.com as primary source and all the Flight Dispatchers
have been given access to this website so that latest and updated information is

PY
always available to them.

In order to create redundancy in case of loss of internet connectivity, a backup of

O
relevant documents of http://fltops.jetairways.com have been made available off-
line to each Flight Dispatch in designated PCs through a back-up folder.

C
Following are the designated IPs of PCs at Flight Dispatch where back-up folders
are created :

BOM : \\172.28.25.162
E D
LL
DEL : \\172.16.73.208

CCU : \\172.16.188.117

MAA :\\172.16.136.72
TR

The location of folder is "C:\FLTOPSDOCS_BACKUP" in above PCs.


N

6.1.5.2 Back-up process


O

1) The parent back-up folder will be maintained at BOM by Ms. Asha Kotian;
C

2) Newly published file on fltops website will be downloaded in parent back-up


folder;
N

3) This file will then be synchronized with all Dispatch PCs;


U

4) A pdf file in back-up folder will show Last back-up at ‘date_time’.

Hence this process will work in background and Dispatch will get documents
available offline in their identified PC.

PAGE 6
FLIGHT DISPATCH MANUAL JA/OPS/054
DOCUMENTATION AND
CHAPTER 6
NAVIGATION DATABASE
DOCUMENTATION REV 10.0 23 MAY 2017

6.1.5.3 Flight Dispatch Action Points

1) Fltops website is the primary source of latest and updated documents /


manuals. Off-line folder in. Flight Dispatch PC is only a back-up. Hence Flight
Dispatchers should always refer to the website for latest information;

2) DO NOT copy and paste the files from back-up folder to any other folder / PC.
Only files in back-up folder will be updated by the process mentioned above;

PY
3) Please remove any other soft copies of documents / manuals in any other PCs
in Dispatch except the above mentioned back-up folder;

O
4) The above mentioned PCs should be always kept ‘on’ during office hours on

C
weekdays. This will ensure that sync process runs whenever updates are
available.
E D
In view of the above, the following process had been outlined while making
available Regulatory Documents and RTOW chart in soft copies in Flight Dispatch.
LL
6.1.5.4 REGULATORY DOCUMENTS – SOFT COPY

1. Intent :
O

Availability and accessibility of latest regulatory documents viz. CAR India,


TR

ICAO Annex, Indian AIP and AIP Supplements as reference documents for
purpose of Flight Dispatch.
N

2. Background :
O

Present scenario of Regulatory documents (listed above)


C

i) Civil Aviation Requirement (CAR), India


N

Available on DGCA India official website www.dgca.nic.in and the


revisions are updated on the website by DGCA as immediate reference.
U

Procurement of revisions in hardcopy often leads to significant time lapse


due publication and logistic requirements at DGCA end. DGCA official
website is the primary source for CAR.

PAGE 7
FLIGHT DISPATCH MANUAL JA/OPS/054
DOCUMENTATION AND
CHAPTER 6
NAVIGATION DATABASE
DOCUMENTATION REV 10.0 23 MAY 2017

ii) ICAO Annex

Available on ICAO official portal account assigned for Jet Airways India
Ltd. Periodic amendments are made available through the same source.

Revisions in hardcopies used to be procured by Documentation Section at


Mumbai and sent to all Flight Dispatch stations for update of their
respective hardcopies. Procurement delays in revision in hardcopy often

PY
led to significant time lapse due publication and logistic requirement.

iii) AIP India and Supplements

O
AIP India was last published in hardcopy by Airports Authority of India in

C
2012. Thus latest AIP India is not available in hardcopy anymore to airline
operators. Presently AIP India is only available on AAI official website

the same source.


E D
www.aai.aero.in as e-AIP and AIP Supplements are also made through

3. Documentation in Flight Dispatch :


LL

There were instances where hardcopy documentation w.r.t CAR India, ICAO
O

Annex, AIP India and AIP Supplements were not inevitably updated in Flight
Dispatch for certain time due logistical processes, whereas latest amendments
TR

were issued by regulator in electronic format.

In view of the above scenario, it has been decided to maintain all the above
mentioned documents in Softcopy. Only in Flight Dispatch Stations (BOM, DEL,
N

CCU, MAA,) to ensure availability and accessibility of all latest revisions to all the
O

Flight Dispatch Stations with least time lag and to obviate chances of reference to
outdated publication.
C

Additionally, Company ensures that the departmental policy documents e.g.


N

Operations Manual (OM), Flight Dispatch Manual (FDM), Ops Supplement; FD


Supplements are updated periodically to incorporate all the latest regulatory
U

amendments and align the company policy and procedures accordingly.

Henceforth Flight Dispatch shall refer the following sources as reference.

CAR India : Refer DGCA official website

AIP India and Supplements : Refer AAI official website

PAGE 8
FLIGHT DISPATCH MANUAL JA/OPS/054
DOCUMENTATION AND
CHAPTER 6
NAVIGATION DATABASE
DOCUMENTATION REV 10.0 23 MAY 2017

ICAO Annex : Refer fltops site backed-up by Company intranet

The entire procedure would ensure higher reliability and compliance in Flight
Dispatch w.r.t implementation of Regulatory Documentations and its provisions.

A. RTOW CHART IN FLIGHT DISPATCH – SOFT COPY

As of now, Flight Dispatch offices at BOM, DEL, CCU, and MAA maintain paper

PY
RTOW charts for crew reference. These RTOW charts for all fleet i.e.B777, A330,
B737, ATR are maintained at these FD Offices for all stations apart from that
station itself.

O
For example, at Mumbai, operationally crew require charts only for Mumbai

C
runways and not for Imphal or any other station other than Mumbai.

D
As a process, all the published RTOW charts are available to Flight Dispatchers
through fltops website in soft copy. As a backup, we are maintaining a “backup”
E
folder in all dispatch offices where these RTOW charts are stored and can be
LL
accessed offline, if required. This folder is kept in sync whenever there is an update
on the website. This provides redundancy of access to the RTOW charts.
O

Further, in practice, all Dispatchers and crew refer to OPT, LPC and SPS for take-
off / landing calculations to optimize the performance. Hence use of paper RTOW
TR

charts, practically, is very limited.

Maintaining these charts runs into number of binders in each office along with
N

plastic covers for pages. There are huge numbers of man-hours required to keep
these chart files updated apart from the cost involved.
O

In light of above, all paper RTOW charts shall be removed from Flight Dispatch
C

offices, except applicable for that FD Station (e.g. FD Mumbai will have only
Mumbai RTOW charts). All Flight Dispatch offices shall send their current RTOW
N

Binders to BOM Aircraft Documentation section along with the contents. They shall
U

print the copies of current RTOW charts for the applicable airport (e.g. VABB for
Mumbai FD) from soft copy and maintain in a separate file in Flight Dispatch.

Whenever there is an update of RTOW charts of any of the Flight Dispatch stations,
BOM Aircraft Documentation section will notify FD about the update. Flight
Dispatch shall then print the updated charts from online copies or from “backup”
folder and maintain the station file.

6.4 JET AIRWAYS (JAI) NAVIGATION DATABASE MANAGEMENT

The NDB containing the RNP APCH procedure(s) to be flown are coded, validated
and loaded into the Flight Management System (FMS) navigation system. The flight
crew is able to verify the procedure to be flown through review of the data stored in
the onboard navigation database, including the ability to review the data for
individual waypoints, runways and for navigation aids. The FMS provides a means

PY
to display the validity period for the navigation database to the pilots.

JAI’s compliant NDB production is managed by Jeppesen for A330/B737 and by


Honeywell for B777/ATR.

O
C
6.4.1 Jet Airways (JAI) Navigation Database Process

JAI NDB process is documented in Line Maintenance Manual (2.42 NAVIGATION


DATA DOWN LOAD PROCEDURE).

6.4.2
E D
Jet Airways (JAI) Pilot Check of Navigation Database in FMC
LL

As a final check of the NDB, the JAI Pilot in Command (PIC) will verify that the
current version of the JAI NDB is installed and that planned RNP procedures are
O

included.
TR

To ensure the navigation database is correct for the intended procedure, and to
address a navigation database that expires during flight, the charted procedure will
be crosschecked with the waypoints, altitude and speed restrictions on the LEGS
N

page.
O

If this check shows the displayed data from the NDB does not match the charted
data, the procedure will not be flown and the discrepancy will be reported to the
C

Fleet Office. From the Fleet Office, a discrepancy will be reported to Jeppesen/
N

Honeywell by the Manager Flight Operations. The Fleet Office will make a
determination if this discrepancy warrants a report to DGCA. Manager Flight
U

Operations shall inform regional line maintenance manager if such discrepancy


warrants a fresh download and Nav. data update on the aircraft (fleet).

6.4.3 Jet Airways (JAI) Aircraft Modifications

If an aircraft system required for RNAV (RNP) operations is modified with changes
that affect the NDB or path tracking performance (e.g., software change), Jeppesen
will re-validate the RNAV (RNP) procedures with the NDB and the modified system.

6.4.4 NDB Validation Process

Following figure shows a typical JAI NDB Process for Jeppesen NDB.

GENERAL REV 10.0 23 MAY 2017

7.1 GENERAL

EMERGENCY the very word conveys critical / crisis times. Though, we may not
always be conscious of it, decision making implies having a choice. The quality and
quantity of the information available and the qualitative analysis of the information,
governs the manner, in which we perceive a choice, or an option. It is an orderly
process of weighing the pros and cons of available options and then deciding on

PY
the action that best suits our purposes.

The phase of operation where the unusual occurs may leave enough time only for
an immediate reaction. A response that is governed more by what might be called,

O
a sixth sense developed through training and experience, than by the process of
reasoning.

C
An attempt has been made to lay down some instructions and guidance to deal with

D
various situations. However, at times it may be necessary to adopt measures
beyond the scope of this Chapter. Such measures can best be dictated by the
E
peculiarities of a particular situation.

10.1 PRE-FLIGHT PREPARATION

10.1.1 Compliance and Regulation


th
The CAR Section 2 Series 'O' Part-1 Issue IV dated 24 April 1992, lays down that
the PIC of every aircraft shall, before commencement of the flight, satisfy
themselves that the parameters essential for the safe operations of the flight are

PY
complied with. These include limitations on take-off performance on account of
aerodrome characteristics adhering to Aerodrome Operating Minima, Filing of Flight
Plans with the ATS authorities, carriage of fuel as laid down by the regulations,
availability of all mandatory documents to be on board the aircraft, availability of an

O
Operational Flight Plan in terms of Annex 6, including NOTAMs and MET briefing.

C
The CAR Section 8 Series ‘O’ Part-II stipulates that an Operational Flight Plan
(OFP) and ATS Plan shall be completed for every intended flight. The OFP shall be

D
approved and signed by the PIC and, where applicable, signed by the Flight
Operations Officer (FOO)/Flight Dispatcher, and a copy shall be filed with the
E
operator or a designated agent, or, if these procedures are not possible, it shall be
LL
left with the aerodrome authority or on record in a suitable place at the point of
departure.
O

The Flight Operations Officer duly qualified and approved by the DGCA shall
compile, analyze and provide the above information to the PIC as a part of pre-flight
TR

briefing package.

It is important for the FOO and the PIC to keep in mind that a flight shall not
N

commence unless the PIC is, by every reasonable means at his/her disposal,
satisfied that the communication and navigation facilities essential to the route are
O

in satisfactory condition and that the ground/air facilities available and directly
required for the safe operation of the flight are adequate for the type of operation to
C

be conducted and PIC shall have the final decision making authority in this regard.
N

In case of disagreement between the FOO and PIC regarding any safety aspect of
U

the flight the same may be escalated by the FOO (DO/DM) to the respective
Manager Flight Dispatch who in turn would contact the Chief Pilot- Fleet and GM
Flight Operations for further decision making.

10.1.3 Preparation of Preflight Briefing Package

10.1.3.1 Equipment Status Check

Check Aircraft Assignment / Registration, Engine Configuration, Maintenance


status including any MEL / CDL and Parking position.

PY
In the event of any MEL/CDL release, check its implications on the
operations/performance not only for the sector under dispatch, but all the sectors
and their alternates (as far as possible), the particular machine is likely to operate
until its return to base. This shall be a supplementary function to that of IOCC.

O
C
Engineering dept. will provide relevant MEL/CDL number with a brief description of
MEL/CDL item. In case of MEL/CDL items with more than one sub-heading, they
will clearly mention which are applicable. Subsequently Dispatch will provide

D
access to relevant pages from MEL/CDL/DDPG to pilots as part of preflight briefing.
A one line description of MEL/CDL shall continue to appear on the CFP as per
practice.
E
LL

The Flight Operations Officer shall also make necessary adjustments as may be
required in the Operational / ATS Flight Plan including RPL.
O

Check for any changes or Revised Time / Route / Change of Equipment and ETD
TR

of the flight.

10.1.3.2 Meteorological Condition Check


N

Meteorological Condition Check can be achieved through LIDO system, Collect the
O

Met folder, through the AMSS website, the Private MET Banks or ICAO / WMO
MET Banks like Brussels, Vienna or Dublin etc.
C
N

Check Valid TAFs for Origin, Destination, Destination Alternates, EDTO Alternates
to ascertain weather is above prescribed minima applicable as given in Aerodrome
U

Operating Minima in Jeppesen tailored pages.

Ascertain areas of low / high pressure, jet streams, CAT and CBs from Significant
Weather Chart.

PAGE 11
FLIGHT DISPATCH MANUAL JA/OPS/054

OPERATING PROCEDURE CHAPTER 10

PRE-FLIGHT PREPARATION REV 10.0 23 MAY 2017

10.1.3.3 NOTAM Check

Check NOTAMs for Origin, route, Destination and Alternates, including En-route
Alternates.

Particular attention shall be given to any deficiencies in services, reduction in


runway length, closures of runways / taxiways / un-serviceability of landing aids or

PY
navigation aids, closure or restrictions on airways, Curfew timings / Watch Hours /
Airfield Operating Hours / Fire Fighting Category etc.

Particular attention to be paid to landing aids and their components, as the AOM,

O
may get altered.

C
Refer FDM 10.16 for detailed information on NOTAM Services and Management.

10.1.3.4

1)
Weight Parameters Check
E D
ZFW - Check Estimated Payload or Estimated Zero Fuel Weight. In case of
LL
non availability of EZFW, the FOO shall compute EZFW, based on the number
of passengers, cargo and mail figures.
O

2) RTOW – Estimate performance limited take-off weight. This is required


particularly in the case of high elevation airfield, high temperature and / or low
TR

pressure.

3) Landing weight – Check MLW particularly for approach climb limited airfield
and tankering sectors.
N
O

In case of landing in field critical aerodromes e.g. Uni-directional runway in wet


runway and strong surface wind condition, predicted tail wind component at the
C

time of arrival needs to be factored in at the time of Dispatch and landing field
performance to be restricted accordingly.
N

To achieve optimal flight plan without compromising safety, it is essential that


U

undue padding on payload is desisted, as this will only mean artificially higher
weight, which will further increase the fuel up-lift. This may result in lower altitude
capability, which, in turn cause higher burn off.

Structural Limitations imposed by AFM as well as Performance limitations based on


environmental and airfield characteristics shall never be exceeded. Such
performance limits include Take-off, En-route and Landing.

The FOO shall also ensure that approved aircraft Structural limits are not exceeded
when planning any flight. The Pilot in Command is responsible to independently
check these performance and structural limit weights.

PAGE 12
FLIGHT DISPATCH MANUAL JA/OPS/054

OPERATING PROCEDURE CHAPTER 10

PRE-FLIGHT PREPARATION REV 10.0 23 MAY 2017

The FOO is also responsible to inform Load Control of any Regulated Take-off
Weight (RTOW) (that is, any restriction to the Take-off weight due to Performance
or pavement limitations) for the purposes of load planning of the flight.

The following tools are available in Flight Dispatch for calculation of Performance
data :

1) B737, B777- OPT

PY
2) ATR – SPS

O
3) A330 – LPC

C
10.1.3.5 Procedure for OPT / SPS Calculation by Flight Dispatch

The procedures for OPT / SPS calculation by the Flight Dispatch are as follows :

1. D
At Flight Dispatch Stations – provide the hardcopy of OPT / SPS calculation to
E
the crew along with pre-flight briefing package;
LL

2. Provision of sending OPT / SPS output through e-mail to Flight Crew, provided
aircraft has not pushed back / chocks off;
O

3. At the time of Preflight Briefing, calculation of Takeoff Speed by Flight


TR

Despatch based on performance limited takeoff weight; If ATOW is less than


this limit weight, same speeds can be used by the flight crew.
N

The hard copy of OPT / SPS output (Print out) given / emailed to the crew shall be
archived by the Dispatcher against his / her signature mentioning Flight no, Date
O

and aircraft registration. This document shall be retained in a separate box folder as
archive for a period of at least 3 months.
C

OPT / SPS support is only feasible till push back / chocks off. Any development
N

after pushback / chocks off till TOGA, aircraft has to come back to gate.
U

Transmission of amended OPT / SPS data to flight crew can increase workload
during this critical phase and can lead to avoidable mistakes.

This procedure has been finalized after lot of deliberation at management level
considering various operational aspects. Dispatchers are advised to ensure strict
compliance.

OPT / SPS hard copy folder and its contents shall be checked during Flight
Dispatch Internal Audit.

10.1.3.17 Delayed Flight With Suffix “D”
E D
To meet certain operational requirements, at times flights are delayed and
rescheduled to subsequent day. In such cases the flight is termed as Delayed Flight
of original date of operation and Suffixed as “D” with Flight No. (Typically WB flights
when delayed and departure rolls over to next day with delay of 8-10hrs).
LL

e.g : The attached Pre-Flight copy shows the schedule flight 9W-117 of 22 Jan and
O

delayed to next day i.e. 23 Jan and operating as 117D.


TR

IOCC posts an ETD on the flight to trigger down-line systems. Passenger PNR's
gets updated with ETD and SMS is triggered as per the business process.

If IOCC creates a flight with "D" suffix, then in terms of the system logic, it would
N

mean cancellation of Schedule flight 9W-117 and creating a new scheduled flight
O

called 9W-117D.
C

This would mean that there is no delay captured on OPAS for the original delayed
flight 9W-117 and also no SMS trigger would happen where the system would treat
N

this flight as a new flight for the day. Any update of ETD or OOOI timings on this
flight would not get reflected on the FLIFO on RES since RES cannot have an
U

alpha numeric flight number.

SABRE RES and SSCI check-in system does not accept any alpha numeric flights;
hence they have a separate process to load the flight as “9W-1117” on the SABRE
for their check-in purpose.

In view of the above, from Flight Dispatch perspective, it would mean a manual
intervention to change the flight from 9W-117 to 117D, since the filing of flight plan
requires the flight to be filed as "D" due two flights with the same flight numbers on
the given day.

10.1.7 Weather Criteria Assessment and Fuel Planning by Flight Dispatch

This is in reference to FDM Chapter 10.1, Pre-Flight Preparation Procedure, the


following guidelines are provided w.r.t. weather criteria assessment and appropriate
fuel planning by Flight Dispatch to avoid potential diversion situation.

10.1.7.1 Destination

PY
A flight should not commence unless there is sufficient evidence that latest
meteorological forecast or a combination of current reports and forecast weather
condition, at the time of arrival at Destination will be at or above the AOM.

O
In case of Destination meteorological conditions at the estimated time of use are

C
expected to be below the operator’s established aerodrome operating minima for
that operation, the requirement for Two (02) Destination Alternates shall be planned
in accordance with DGCA CAR AWO.
E D
Considering scenarios of conservative TAFs and high probability of landing at
LL
Destination, a situation may arise when a flight is required to be released to a
Destination when metrological reports are marginal / below AOM at Destination at
the time of Dispatch. Under such scenario, the operational environment shall be
O

evaluated with due diligence, inclusive of PROB / TEMPO, and selection of Two (2)
Destination Alternates with appropriate fuel shall be planned in accordance with
TR

FDM Chapter 10.7.

Following factors shall be considered in deciding Destination Landing minimum :


N

• VIS/RVR
O

• Ceiling
C

• Surface wind limit (Dry, Wet, Slippery etc)


N

While determining meteorological condition, Flight Dispatch shall consider the


U

elements of TEMPO, BECMG, PROB and weather alerts with applicable


adjustments to arrival time.

FLIGHT DISPATCH MANUAL JA/OPS/054

OPERATING PROCEDURE CHAPTER 10

PRE-FLIGHT PREPARATION REV 10.0 23 MAY 2017

‘BECMG’ is followed by a four-figure group indicating the beginning and ending of


the period in which the change is expected to occur. The change in the forecast
conditions is expected to be permanent, and to occur at an unspecified time within
this period. The change will prevail till the next change is forecasted.

‘TEMPO’ will similarly be followed by a four-figure time group; it indicates a period


of temporary fluctuations in the forecast conditions which may occur at any time

PY
during the stated period. The ‘TEMPO’ conditions are expected to last less than
one hour in each instance, and in aggregate, less than half the period indicated.

The probability of a significant change occurring will be given as a percentage, but

O
only 30% and 40% will be used. The abbreviation ‘PROB’ will precede the
percentage, which will be followed by a time group, or a change and time group,

10.1.7.3 Selection of Alternates for Destinations Located in Coastal Areas:


Advection Fog
O

Background :
TR

There can be occasions where advection fog can quickly make an aerodrome
unusable situated in coastal regions, the same risk may apply to potential
N

diversions as well if destination alternates are also situated in coastal region.


O

Thus, flight crew should ensure that an appropriate fuel endurance is available and
that alternates unlikely to be affected by advection fog remain within range in the
C

event that the destination weather deteriorates unexpectedly.


N

Jet Airways has been operating flights to coastal airports and some of the flights
U

have experienced marginal visibility conditions.

There have been instances where weather condition for destination and destination
alternate in coastal region were well above AOM at the planning stage however
weather both at destination and destination alternate had deteriorated rapidly at
expected time of landing.

PAGE 37
FLIGHT DISPATCH MANUAL JA/OPS/054

OPERATING PROCEDURE CHAPTER 10

PRE-FLIGHT PREPARATION REV 10.0 23 MAY 2017

Intent :

The procedure for selection of destination alternate airports has been defined for
flights to coastal airports providing additional safety margin to mitigate the impact of
advection fog.

Weather Outlook :

PY
Advection fog is formed when warm, moist air passes over a cool surface.
Advection fog can move in rapidly and visibility can deteriorate in a very short span
of time. Also it can be accompanied by winds. Such conditions can be difficult to

O
forecast reliably.

C
Procedure :

VOGO, VOML, VOCL, VOCI and VOTV as destination.


E D
The following criteria shall be applied while planning flights into coastal airports:
LL
1) Inland Airport (away from coast) shall be selected as destination alternate. In
case of destination TAF below minima at time of despatch, both destination
alternates shall be inland airports at planning stage.
O

2) Distance between destination and inland destination alternate shall not be


TR

close-in alternates (distance less than 50 NM GCD). For example, for a flight to
VOML as destination, inland airports like VOBL / VOCB would qualify as
destination alternate.
N

However VABB, in spite of being coastal airport, had not been significantly affected
O

by advection fog. Considering this, VABB shall continue to be planned as Alternate


for Coastal Destination e.g. VOGO.

10.1.9 GNSS RAIM / RNP Prediction Service (GRPS)

The GNSS/GPS receiver (typically TSO-C129 class) provides an integrity algorithm


known as Receiver Autonomous Integrity Monitoring (RAIM). RAIM is a form of
integrity monitoring performed within the avionics themselves: it ensures available
satellite signals meet the integrity requirements for a given phase of flight. The
receiver performs the RAIM function in real-time, using the current constellation,
excluding any satellite whose signal is broadcasting an “Unhealthy” (Do Not Use)

PY
condition. By comparing the pseudo-range measurements of a number of satellites,
the RAIM function can identify a satellite failure and issue an alert to the pilot. A
minimum of five satellites is required to detect a bad satellite.

Since GPS receivers do not predict the signal outages, prediction tools use receiver

C
algorithm to predict outages which provide a prediction function that allows a pilot
during preflight to predict RAIM availability for an intended GPS-based procedure.

D
Generally, the following PBN specifications require RAIM prediction during preflight:
E

LL
RNP 4 (Enroute Oceanic)

− RNP 2 (Enroute Continental)


O

− RNP 1 (Terminal SID/STAR)


TR

− RNP APCH (RNAV Approach based on LNAV or LNAV/VNAV, RNP =


0.3)
N

− RNP AR APCH (RNP Authorisation Required Approach, RNP =< 0.3)


O

Apart from these, if any other PBN specification requires GPS then RAIM prediction
C

would be required during preflight.


N

Jet Airways Flight Dispatch will predict RAIM availability using web-hosted tool
U

GRPS of DW International. DW International is the industry leader for the provision


of RAIM predictions to airline operators and flight planning companies.

GRPS has been designated for predictions relating to NAVSTAR GPS system
(USA). However, it will be expanded in the future to include Galileo (European
system), GLONASS (Russian system), Compass/BeiDou (Chinese system) and
IRNSS (Indian Regional Navigational Satellite System).

Algorithm- FD / FDE

Default Setting – FD

PY
In order for a GPS receiver to perform Receiver Autonomous Integrity Monitoring
(RAIM) or Fault Detection (FD) function, a minimum of five visible satellites with

O
satisfactory geometry must be visible to it. RAIM has various kind of
implementations; one of them performs consistency checks between all position

C
solutions obtained with various subsets of the visible satellites. The receiver
provides an alert to the pilot if the consistency checks fail.
E D
RAIM availability is an important issue when using such kind of algorithm in safety-
critical applications (as the aeronautical ones); in fact, because of geometry and
LL
satellite service maintenance, RAIM/FD is not always available at all, meaning that
the receiver's antenna could have sometimes fewer than five satellites in view.
O

An enhanced version of RAIM employed in some receivers is known as Fault


Detection and Exclusion (FDE). It uses a minimum of six satellites to not only detect
TR

a possible faulty satellite, but to exclude it from the navigation solution so the
navigation function can continue without interruption. The goal of fault detection is
to detect the presence of a positioning failure. Upon detection, proper fault
N

exclusion determines and excludes the source of the failure (without necessarily
identifying the individual source causing the problem), thereby allowing GNSS
O

navigation to continue without interruption. The availability of RAIM and FDE will be
slightly lower for mid-latitude operations and slightly higher for equatorial and high-
C

latitude regions due to the nature of the orbits.

Baro-Aided

Default Setting – OFF

PY
Baro-aiding is a type of GPS integrity augmentation that basically allows the GPS
receiver to use location’s static system to provide a vertical reference and reduce

O
the number of satellites required. GPS units that have baro-aiding are much less
likely to experience outages. Some units require manual entry of the altimeter

C
setting for baro-aiding.

D
If Baro-aiding feature is available then the receiver uses barometric altitude in place
of the GPS altitude of the position solution and the receiver only solves for the
E
horizontal position and needs one less satellite, giving a higher likelihood of having
LL
the required integrity for the time frame of graphical prediction.

Generally, baro-aiding is the feature of WAAS/SBAS receivers (TSO C-146).

10.1.11 Planning of Departure During Main Runway Closure at BOM

Departure from Secondary Runway in BOM during day with high temperature or
unfavourable winds have significant payload penalty to Wide Body flights and also
to certain narrow body flights with high payload. This has become frequent
occurrence during present main runway closure where Dispatchers put appreciable
effort to maximize payload uplift.

PY
At times, runway 27 remains operational in spite of the NOTAM being effective and
there is no definite time line is received from ATC for runway change over in spite
of a favourable wind pattern.

O
Under such scenario, we need to make conscious decision and try to maximize

C
payload with least effect on OTP.

D
In view of the above, the following procedure has been formulated to plan
departure of flights during NOTAM period of Main Runway Closure at BOM.
E
1) Dispatch shall work out pre-flight preparation for both Runways and give Pre
LL

Alert to all stake holders e.g. IOCC, CSD, Engg, Fuel Co and Operating Crew.

O

4) In case of any reversal of decision by ATC after D-45 mins w.r.t selection of
runway for departure, there may be need to off-load payload to accommodate
C

the flight departure from secondary runway.

10.7.12 Determining Maximum Flight Level while Planning Flights with


Degraded Anti-Icing System due MEL

We have encountered multiple MELs which lead to degradation of Anti-Icing system


and restrict the aircraft to be flown under known or forecast icing condition.

Under such scenario, Flight Dispatch needs to determine the maximum flyable

PY
altitude by avoiding en-route Icing condition.

The following steps shall be followed with this regard :

O
1) Check Prognostic Significant Weather Chart, identify Icing Level i.e. Zero
Degree Isotherm level and any areas of significant weather having Icing

C
conditions;

2)

3)
E D
Check OFP or Upper Wind Data chart to determine the ISA deviation en-route;

Apply that ISA deviation value in QRH, Ops Info pages and determine
corresponding Flight Level;
LL

4) In case of multiple ISA deviation value indentified on a route, the most limiting
value shall be applied while planning.
O

In all practical purposes, the Flight Level value identified from QRH, Ops Info Pages
TR

shall be higher than the Zero Degree Isotherm altitude since QRH, Ops Info page
value caters for the advantages received out of Ram Rise.
N

The Flight Level identified from QRH shall be the highest flyable FL under that
prevailing ISA condition and OFP needs to be computed accordingly.
O

EXAMPLE :
C

Suppose,
N
U

i) Prognostic Significant Weather Chart from Meteorological department shows


Icing Level i.e. Zero Degree Isotherms at FL 150;

ii) OFP or Upper Wind Chart indicates en-route ISA deviation as ISA + 15;

iii) QRH, Ops Info pages indicates Max FL 190 under ISA+15 conditions with 280
KIAS speed schedule.

Then Flight will be planned at FL 190 or 180 depending on the track to be flown.

10.7.14 Planning of Flights with max Fuel Tank Capacity Restriction

There have been occasions when aircraft are being dispatched with full tank
capacity. This can happen either due to long sector minimum fuel requirements
(e.g. VIDP-WSSS, VABB-OEJN) or due to tankering.

Whenever a flight starts reaching tank capacity, it requires due diligence to handle

PY
such scenarios. The following details which are part of B737 e-learning in fuel
module are reiterated to facilitate the planning of such flights.

As volumetric capacity is the limit, while refueling, FD has to check with refueling

O
company, approximate fuel density for the day. Suppose SIN indicated approximate
fuel density as 0.78, then multiplying this number with 26025 litres leads to 20300

C
kg. Then FD has to limit OFP to this calculated value.

D
This is the only way to handle such scenario or else FD has to wait till aircraft is
refueled to full tank capacity and then limit OFP to actual fuel weight for that day.
E
LL
Following are clarifications to facilitate Flight Dispatchers :

• Whenever aircraft is required to be refueled to full tank capacity due sector


O

minimum fuel requirements, use Planned Takeoff Weight (PTOW) from OFP
“Fuel Summary” rather than RTOW (Performance) from paper charts or OPT

However while operating such flights, there may be long holding delays in air
overhead destination “B” and PIC can legally go down till OFP MDF value to
ascertain holding in air.

In such cases a/c after landing at destination B shall not have adequate fuel to
operate the return sector B-A without being refueled and a/c will be AOG in
Destination B due no fuel being available.

10.7.17 Flight Planning with MEL of Un-Usable Fuel

Background:

Whenever a MEL of Un-usable fuel is invoked on a flight, one or combination of the


factors amongst ZFW, MZFW, Total Fuel, MDF and CG determination are impacted
while planning the flight.

PY
Intent:

To outline the Flight Dispatch procedure for OFP preparation in compliance with

O
MEL/DDPG requirement and necessary communication with CLCU / Apt Svc
(where L&T functions are not handled by CLCU), Engg and Fuelling Company.

C
Process:

1) D
When MEL indicates “Fuel is either Unusable or to be treated as Unusable” for
planning.
E
LL

This fuel can be either in the Wings or in the Fuselage.

For this scenario, Flight Dispatch shall adhere to following steps:-


O

a) Identify the quantity of unusable fuel.


TR

b) Increase EZFW by this unusable fuel quantity and calculate OFP.


N

c) Restrict the MZFW by this unusable fuel quantity and advise CLCU/Apt
Svc.
O

d) Increase the Departure Fuel by this unusable fuel quantity and advise
C

CLCU / Apt Svc, Fueling Company.


N

e) Add Dispatcher Remark in Pre-flight Briefing advising crew to increase


MFR, MDF and Final Reserve by this unusable fuel quantity due MEL.
U

2) When MEL indicates “Fuel in fuselage may become unusable”

This fuel is Usable at planning stage. It may become Unusable in-flight.

For this scenario, Flight Dispatch shall adhere to following step:-

a) Assume all fuel quantity in fuselage may become unusable due to


anticipated second pump failure.

b) Restrict the MZFW by this fuel quantity in fuselage and advise CLCU / Apt
Svc

10.9.4 Monitoring and Update of Flight Movement with OOOI timings.

a) OOOI Timings

OOOI stands for OUT / OFF / ON / IN.


E D
LL

OUT – The status of a flight is termed as “OUT” when the Chocks are removed
from the wheels of the aircraft and the aircraft pushes back, in case of non-power
O

out bay, OR
TR

when the Chocks are removed from the wheels of the aircraft after engine start
when the aircraft is ready to taxi out on its on power in case of a power out bay.
N

OFF – When the aircraft gets air-borne after the take-off run the time at which the
wheels of the aircraft leave the ground the aircraft is said to be airborne and this
O

time is termed as “OFF“.


C

ON – When the aircraft wheels touch the runway for landing, which is touchdown,
this time is termed as “ON“.
N
U

IN – After touchdown when the aircraft has taxied to its assigned stand/bay, the
time at which the chocks are placed at the wheels, is termed as “IN“.

b) Source of OOOI timings

The OOOI timings can be obtained through various sources’ The process of
obtaining the OOOI timings varies in different stations.

At all flight dispatch stations, equipped with company VHF, the OOOI timings are
obtained by continuous monitoring of the VHF “Ground” and “Tower” frequencies,
The timings are then later verified when the captain conveys the same on the
“company channel”.

PAGE 134
FLIGHT DISPATCH MANUAL JA/OPS/054

OPERATING PROCEDURE CHAPTER 10


INTEGRATED OPERATIONS CONTROL
CENTRE (IOCC) FUNCTIONS
REV 10.0 23 MAY 2017

In other stations, for non-ACARS aircraft, the timings are obtained from the Ramp
through Customer Services staff or the GHA (Ground Handling Agent).

Note:

i) The captain conveys the ON, IN and the OUT times through the head set
to the engineering staff who in turn informs the ramp staff;

PY
ii) The OFF time is either visually monitored by the Customer Services staff
or is obtained by the Customer Services staff from the tower;

O
iii) The Customer Services staff then either updates the OOOI timings either
on the MVT website / RES FLIFO or conveys it telephonically or through

C
SITA message to OCC, who then updates the NetLine Ops system.

E D
The other source of information of obtaining the OOOI timings especially for wide
body aircrafts is through ACARS. This is an automated process by which the OOOI
timings from the aircraft are automatically transmitted during the respective phases
of the flight and is received as an e-mail at the IOCC. Note that these timings are
LL

always in UTC.
O

10.9.5 Schedule, Reschedule and Delaying a Flight


TR

Schedule time of a Flight(S) : The Departure / Arrival timings of the flights as in


the approved and published schedule.

Rescheduling of a Flight (R) : Any change in the scheduled departure / Arrival

10.9.17 Volcanic Eruption – Planning of Flight

1) Background :

In 2010, Jet Airways experienced severe flight disruption in Europe due to Volcanic
Eruption where Brussels, the European Hub of Jet Airways for its North American
Operation, had to be shifted to Athens to avoid Volcanic Eruption affected airspace.

PY
While managing these disruptions, Jet Airways had experienced significant
operational constraints in shifting its European Hub to Athens and mobilizing its
operation thereafter.

O
With the onset of present probable Volcanic Eruption in Iceland, Jet Airways has

C
initiated its preparedness towards the contingency plan.

2) Contingency Plan : E D
IOCC shall evaluate all possible options and decide the contingency plan which
shall include Delay, Rescheduling, Rerouting and Cancellation as appropriate.
LL

IOCC shall also consider the shifting of the European Hub from Brussels to any
other convenient location depending up on the spread of Volcanic Cloud.
O

The typical possible hub could be Athens, Milan, Rome, Paris and other European
TR

Airports based on movement of Volcanic Cloud and availability of Airport Slots.

The decision point at which Jet Airways would decide to move the hub from
Brussels International Airport (EBBR) shall depend on the movement of the
N

Volcanic Cloud and its potential impact on the Civil Aviation. The decision shall
O

depend on the level of concentrations, severity and forecast conditions in the


interest of Safety.
C

Flight Dispatch and Operations Control Centre shall closely monitor the Volcanic
N

Eruption advisories from VAAC London, Euro control and State Advisory sources.
U

Depending on the relevant forecast and its severity and probability, IOCC shall
assess the hazard level and accordingly decide to shift the Hub to as appropriate.

10.9.18 Communication between PIC and Flight Dispatch / IOCC

BACKGROUND :

Jet Airways has Integrated Operations Control Centre (IOCC) at BOM and Flight
Dispatch facility at BOM/ DEL/ CCU/ and MAA.

Additionally, at international stations, GHAs have been appointed to perform

PY
Support Functions.

Flights covering the entire network are distributed amongst these FD stations

O
through flight allocation procedure for OFP and ATS Flight Planning. Thus, it is
possible that a flight departing from, say COK, is planned by MAA FD or departing

C
from LHR is planned by DEL FD.

D
The complete flight allocation list is shared with all Dispatch Stations, IOCC, Airport
Services and CLCU for better visibility and notification to all stakeholders indicating
E
the responsibility of individual Flight Dispatch against each flight.
LL

However, for certain flights in the past, while departing from Non-FD stations, PIC
had requirement to contact Flight Dispatch for communicating certain flight planning
O

related query and we had encountered delay due to ambiguity as which FD station
needs to be contacted.
TR

INTENT :

Considering the above scenario and to avoid ambiguity in future, an effort has been
N

made to indicate the role of IOCC and Flight Dispatch in Operational Control / OFP
O

/ Flight Following / Flight Watch to streamline the communication process between


PIC and Flight Dispatch to avoid time loss during normal / Non-normal situation
C

which could lead to possible delay on flight.


N

COMPANY POLICY :
U

OPERATIONAL CONTROL :

Operational control is defined as the exercise of authority over initiation,


continuation, diversion or termination of a flight in the interest of the safety of the
aircraft and the regularity and efficiency of the flight.

Jet Airways exercises a ‘Non-shared PIC-assisted System’ with regards to


Operational Control. In this system, the Commander has sole authority over any
and all decisions regarding operational control.

PAGE 146
FLIGHT DISPATCH MANUAL JA/OPS/054

OPERATING PROCEDURE CHAPTER 10


INTEGRATED OPERATIONS CONTROL
CENTRE (IOCC) FUNCTIONS
REV 10.0 23 MAY 2017

However, the Commander is assisted by Flight Dispatchers or a Member of


Management assigned with the responsibility to carry out specific functions, duties
or tasks, such as flight planning, flight support, briefing and in-flight monitoring etc.

In the best commercial interests of Jet Airways, for an individual flight or series of
flights, before the aircraft doors are closed for departure, IOCC will be responsible
for the delay, postponement or cancellation of the flight. Thereafter, the

PY
Commander shall exercise operational control over the flight and will be responsible
for the safety of the aircraft and all persons on-board including the diversion or re-
routing of flight.

O
Once in-flight, the final disposition of the aircraft rests with the Commander, who
should co-ordinate his actions with IOCC through the use of any available

C
communication system. The IOCC shall provide required operational assistance to
the Commander for execution of a safe Flight Operation.

FLIGHT FOLLOWING :
E D
LL
The recording in real time of departure and arrival messages by operational
personnel to ensure that a flight is operating and has arrived at the destination
aerodrome.
O

FLIGHT MONITORING:
TR

In addition to requirements defined for Flight Following, Flight Monitoring includes


the:
N

1) Operational monitoring of flights by suitably qualified operational control


O

personnel from the point of departure throughout all phases of flight;


C

2) Communication of all available and relevant safety information between the


operational control personnel on the ground and the flight crew;
N

3) Provision of critical assistance to the flight crew in the event of an in-flight


U

emergency or security issue or at the request of the flight crew.

FLIGHT WATCH :

In addition to all of the elements defined for Flight Following and Flight Monitoring,
Flight Watch includes the active tracking of a flight by suitably qualified operational
control personnel throughout all phases of the flight to ensure that it is following its
prescribed route, without unplanned deviation, diversion or delay and in order to
satisfy State requirements.

10.10 FLIGHT FOLLOWING / FLIGHT WATCH

Maintaining a constant vigilance on the progress of the flight and the changes
taking place in the environment are essential to provide timely support to the crew
for easier decision making.

In order to maintain the flight watch or follow the flight, it is important that we have a
flow of position reports apart from the movement messages and all of them coming

PY
in real time as far as possible. The preferred method is ACARS, however, not all
aircrafts are equipped with it. Following are the means of ascertaining the position
of the flight :

O
• Company VHF at various Flight Dispatch stations;

C
• SATCOM;


ACARS; Aircom server;

Stockholm Radio;
E D
LL

• IFM in LIDO Flight Planning System;

Jet Airways System Network – Jet Soft, NetLine Ops, SITA Network, Email.
C

Presently, ACARS are available on A330 and B777 aircraft. B737 fleet is partially
fitted with ACARS and process is underway to retrofit the remaining the B737
N

aircraft. LIDO IFM is in real time for all ACARS enabled aircrafts.
U

The PIC will contact IOCC/Flight Dispatch as required to advice of any change to
the Operational Flight Plan. Such changes may result from weather deviations,
ATC re-clearances, aircraft un-serviceability or passenger medical situations.

10.11 MEL PROCEDURE

10.11.1 Overview

MEL / CDL and DDPG procedures are controlled by MEL document approved by
DGCA.

Maintenance Control (MAINTROL) is the nodal body of all MEL / CDL information

PY
and all the MEL / CDL information is received by MAINTROL from Aircraft
Maintenance Engineers (AME) attending flights at various stations.

O
MAINTROL has a system named “MEL System”. All MELs / CDLs are invoked /
revoked in the system by MAINTROL.

C
The system data base is maintained by Flight Operations - Systems.

D
This MEL system generates messages to update LIDO Flight Planning system.
E
LL
10.11.2 Channel of Information

MAINTROL, on receipt of MEL / CDL information, shall update MEL System which
O

is interfaced with LIDO Flight Planning System.


TR

Whenever MAINTROL updates the MEL system with a MEL / CDL, the information
is forwarded to LIDO Flight Planning System and Netline Ops.
N

The MEL System also generates a telex message to IOCC and all Flight Dispatch
stations.
O

Note 1: Incase the MEL / CDL to be invoked does not exist in the MEL System,
C

MAINTROL informs Flight Ops Systems, who in turn adds the MEL / CDL
in MEL System and LIDO Flight Planning System.
N

Subsequently MAINTROL would invoke the MEL in the MEL system.


U

Also telex message received from MEL system may not be reflected in
LIDO Flight Planning due to non-availability of database for that particular
MEL in LIDO Flight Planning System.

In case any MEL / CDL / Snag information is received by Flight Dispatch


directly from PIC, Flight Dispatch shall immediately inform Duty Manager -
IOCC.

DM IOCC will inform DM MAINTROL.

DM MAINTROL will confirm the MEL and update the MEL system.

PAGE 154
FLIGHT DISPATCH MANUAL JA/OPS/054

OPERATING PROCEDURE CHAPTER 10

MEL PROCEDURE REV 10.0 23 MAY 2017

In addition to the above, the MEL information is available in Jet Soft as


below;

a) A consolidated list of all the MELs on all the aircrafts is available as a


ready reckoner at all times whenever required.

b) The aircraft with MEL is highlighted in amber background colour and


MEL information for that aircraft can be viewed by clicking the aircraft

PY
registration.

Note 2 : The MEL information in Jet Soft is just a direct access of MEL information

O
from MEL System of the MAINTROL, independent of the telex messages
received by Flight Dispatch.

C
Hence there can be differences in the MEL information in LIDO Flight
Planning System and Jet Soft, because of the reasons given in Note 1.
NO MELS are stored in Jet Soft.
E D
In case if the Engg MEL system is Down NO MELs WILL BE DISPLAYED
LL
IN Jet Soft.

10.11.3 Process
O

Flight Dispatch shall refer the telex messages in the Message Pad for all MEL /
TR

CDL information.

Concerned Dispatcher shall check whether the same MEL is reflected in LIDO
N

Flight Planning System.


O

In case the MEL information is not reflected in LIDO Flight Planning System,
Dispatcher shall inform Tech Dispatch to investigate the occurrence and get the
C

MEL/CDL updated in LIDO Flight Planning System.


N

In case of revoking of MEL / CDL, all the above mentioned procedure shall be
U

followed.

Though above remains the main procedure for the MEL invoke/revoke, Flight
Dispatcher should always use Jet Soft as a reference for MEL information.

If MEL information in Jet Soft is not matching with the information in LIDO Flight
Planning System, Dispatcher will inform Tech Dispatch to investigate and update
the LIDO Flight Planning System.

10.11.4 Dummy MEL in Flight Planning System for Non-EDTO Aircraft

There are occasions where an EDTO certified aircraft is downgraded to NON-


EDTO status due to certain technical requirement without any designated MEL
being invoked to that aircraft.

We have been facing constraints to monitor routing of these NON EDTO aircraft in

PY
day to day operations in the absence of a relevant MEL updated against these
aircrafts.

This has been taken up with Engineering to work out an alternate solution.

O
A procedure for creating DUMMY MEL has now been put in place without changing

C
the original MEL document.

D
Whenever any aircraft is downgraded to NON EDTO status as described above,
Engineering will update their MEL system with a DUMMY MEL 01-01 stating
"EDTO NOT PERMITTED"
E
LL

This can be Invoked/Revoked like other regular MEL in the Engineering MEL
system. Once this DUMMY MEL is invoked by Engineering, Flight Dispatch shall
O

receive corresponding TTY Message with text as above.


TR

The Pre-flight Briefing would then show the DUMMY MEL number with text.

"EDTO NOT PERMITTED".


N

The Dispatcher shall ensure that NON- EDTO routes are planned with that specific
O

aircraft(s) until this DUMMY MEL is revoked.

1) Background:

D
Recently on certain B737 EDTO flights, there were APU In-flight Start failure prior
entering EEP, leading to inflight diversion to enroute alternate airfields.
E
These resulted disruption in flight schedule, consequential impact on network and
LL

finally inconvenience to travelling guests.


O

Considering these, a need is felt to evaluate alternate procedures to minimize or to


avoid such diversions.

In case of APU Inflight Start failure, the flight will be rerouted in-flight through a Pre-
U

determined Non-EDTO route provided by Flight Dispatch.

This Alternate procedure shall not dissolve the ongoing effort towards APU
Reliability Program conducted by Maintenance department.

Important Note:

This procedure may be applied for any other scenarios as well where aircraft is
unable to maintain EDTO status due Inflight Equipment Downgrade on an EDTO
flight prior EEP.

10.17.1 Introduction

NOTAMs are received through 2 sources.

AAI’s AFTN circuit is our main source for Indian NOTAMs and includes Class A, B,
C and D NOTAMs. NOTAMs for India are obtained through a drop circuit. All other

PY
messages from any other countries addressed to Jet Airways are also received on
this circuit.

O
World-wide NOTAM feed is received from Lufthansa systems, LIDO Flight Planning
as a MQ feed. This NOTAM feed along with NOTAMs received via AFTN are

C
updated in a database at Jet Airways end.

Note :
D
Both these feeds are important to Jet Airways operation in view of the fact
that every country’s NOTAMs are not routed and received through AAI’s
E
AFTN circuit and on the other hand large number of NOTAMS are not sent
LL
out or put on international distribution network.

10.17.2 NOTAM Management


O

The raw NOTAMs are received in the system via the two feeds are updated in

REV 10.0 23 MAY 2017

10.18 PROCEDURE FOR DETERMINATION OF FLIGHT TIME / TAXI TIME AND


FLIGHT CREW REQUIREMENT

Flight Time: - In context of flight crew FDTL, the total time from the moment the
chocks are removed for the purpose of push back / taxi to the moment it comes to
rest at the end of the flight or series of flights (Chocks ‘ON’) or in other terms it is
time from chocks OFF to chocks ON.

PY
The CFP provides the Trip Time, Taxi out time, Taxi in time and flight time is sum of
all three.

O
Procedure to calculate Taxi Time: - Taxi out timings for all stations are mentioned
in FDM Chapter 10.17.3

C
10.18.1 Existing Station E D
Taxi timings are analysed with planned taxi time on the flight plan v/s actual taxi
time based on historical data. Network planning, Load control and Systems
helpdesk should be advised of revised taxi time and taxi fuel. This will be done by

Whenever a new station is introduced in the network, taxi time for all a/c fleets are
as below
N

Taxi out 20Min


O

Taxi in 10Min
C

Review of Taxi time: - On completion of 30days of operations, taxi timings are


analyzed with planned taxi time on the flight plan v/s actual taxi time. The derived
N

taxi time will be rounded off to the nearest 5min. Network planning, Load control
and Systems helpdesk should be advised of revised taxi time and taxi fuel. This will

10.18.4 Specially Dispensed Long Haul Flights with Two Crew Operations (10
hrs Flight Time Limit)

PY
For flights planned with 2 crew, and where the scheduled block time is more than
0900hrs. The following procedure is to be followed:

O
1) D-6hrs, Compute the flight plan with VIE loads and normal cargo load. Check
Flight time (Trip time + Taxi out time+ Taxi in time). Advise rostering

C
department if flight time exceeds 10hrs.

D
E.g. If DEL / LHR Trip Time, for a particular flight, is 0930hrs, then Flight time
is 1005hrs. (Trip time + Taxi out time+ Taxi in time i.e. 09hr 30mts + 0025mts +
0010mts)
E
LL
2) If flight time is more than 10hrs, compute flight plan with increased speed
schedule with VIE loads and normal cargo. Check flight time (Trip time + Taxi
out time+ Taxi in time). If flight time is still more than 10hrs, inform crew
O

rostering of the flight time and alert for positive additional crew requirement.
TR

3) D-4hrs, Compute flight plan with EZFW received in Jet Soft/Air Path. Check
with rostering department, the availability of crew. If crew not available,
increase the speed schedule. If increased speed schedule meets the flight time
N

of 10hrs for two crew ops, advise operating crew of the same. Make special
remarks on pre flight briefing sheet under “Dispatcher remarks” column.
O

Note: Higher speed schedule substantially increases the fuel burn/cost of


C

operations substantially and should only be used on rare occasions, when


N

all other options are exhausted for conduct of flight.

10.23.6 Responsibility and Procedure for Dispatch of Flights when Two


Dispatch Stations are Involved

In this case, OFP is computed by one Flight Dispatch and transmitted to another
Flight Dispatch where the Flight Crew briefs themselves prior departure.

Background

PY
Recently a flight 9W-122 DEL / LHR was delayed due to incomplete dissemination
of MEL information to certain Departments. Investigation revealed that the MEL
implication was not communicated to the concerned departments.

O
In this case BOM Flight Dispatch was responsible for OFP computation and DEL

C
Flight Dispatch was responsible to assist the Flight Crew in Pre-flight Briefing.

D
BOM Dispatch expected that the MEL information to all concerned departments in
DEL will be provided by DEL Flight Dispatch. On the other hand, DEL Dispatch
E
assumed that MEL information to all concerned departments must have been
LL
initiated directly by BOM Flight Dispatch to all concerned departments.

On realizing the lacuna in communicating the MEL information, both the Flight
O

Dispatch stations started immediate recovery action, however it was too late and
this resulted in a delay and revenue loss due cargo off-loading.
TR

Mitigation Measures
N

In order to avoid recurrence, following is the procedure to be followed :


O

1) The Dispatch stations to whom the flight is allocated and sending the
package will action the following :
C

• Prepare the entire package;


N

• Drop the package at the concerned Dispatch station;


U

• The package must include a covering note notifying all significant Briefing /
Instruction / MEL requirements that need to be briefed to the crew and any
particular departments.

Note: The same procedure shall be followed while dropping packages to


Non dispatch stations.

10.25 DEPARTURE DELAY INFORMATION TO FLIGHT CREW

We have experienced certain situation in the past where the operating flight crew
was not informed in time regarding a delayed departure on his/her flight. Primarily
this was due to a lack of clarity in the defined functional responsibility between
Flight Dispatch Staff and Cockpit crew Rostering staff.

The following procedure has been put in place to streamline this process in the

PY
network.

Mumbai and Delhi

BOWSER

In the past we have experienced flight delays due to late reporting of fuel bowser.

Although fueling companies are primarily responsible for sending fuel bowser well
in time to respective aircrafts, however failure at fueling company end had led to
flight delays. Investigation revealed that certain delays could have been avoided by

PY
raising an alert within sufficient lead time.

In order to mitigate such delays, the following procedures have been outlined.

11.1 GENERAL

Jet Airways has code share with other international airlines for transportation of
passengers on their carriers and vice versa. The code share agreement entails
both airlines offer their individual flights numbers for a single sector on which pre-
fixed number of seats are allocated.

The code sharing carrier would therefore need to ensure that the carrier on which

PY
they code share for the carriage of their passengers meet with all regulatory
requirement of their country as also safety standards to ensure safe operations. As
the standards vary from airline to airline, as also regulatory requirements differ from

O
country to country, IATA have formulated a Safety Audit Program known as IOSA
(IATA Operational Safety Audit) which is internationally accepted.

C
Code share agreement between Jet Airways and its code share partner shall cover
