2.1 OVERVIEW
CAR Section 1, Series C - Part I lays down the aviation safety-related processes,
procedures and activities for the establishment of Safety Management System
(SMS) by an organization and is issued in accordance with rule 29D of the Aircraft
Rules, 1937.
PY
the development of a better safety culture, as well as modify attitudes and actions
of personnel in order to make a safer work place.
O
SMS lets managers identify hazards; assess risk to justify controls that will reduce
risk to acceptable levels. SMS is a proven process for managing risk that ties all
C
elements of the organization together laterally and vertically and ensures
appropriate allocation of resources to safety issues.
E D
SMS framework consists of four components and twelve elements, and its
implementation shall be commensurate with the size of the organization and the
LL
complexity of the services provided.
3) Safety Assurance :

4) Safety Promotion :
PY
The Chief of Operations, as the Accountable Manager, has full responsibility and he
is accountable for the airline’s operations. The Chief of Flight Safety is nominated
as the SMS Manager.

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.

SPIs are data-based safety parameter used for monitoring and assessing safety
performance.
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
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:
PY
• Safety surveys
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
Primary intent of this exercise was to identify the key areas where any operational
TR
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
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
Rather from OTP data base, an effort was made to figure out deviations against the
listed SPI categories.
PAGE 10
FLIGHT DISPATCH MANUAL JA/OPS/054
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.
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 /
GM Flt. Dispatch, Sr. GM and VP FSS.

led to significant time lapse due publication and logistic requirement.
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
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
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
PAGE 8

DOCUMENTATION AND
CHAPTER 6
NAVIGATION DATABASE
DOCUMENTATION REV 10.0 23 MAY 2017
The entire procedure would ensure higher reliability and compliance in Flight
Dispatch w.r.t implementation of Regulatory Documentations and its provisions.
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
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.

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

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

To ensure the navigation database is correct for the intended procedure, and to

If this check shows the displayed data from the NDB does not match the charted

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.

9.1 OBJECTIVE
Various positions in the management and also in the rank of FOO / FOA within the
organization relevant to the operations control of flights are filled by personnel on
the basis of knowledge, skills, training and experience appropriate for that position.
The process of assessment is fundamentally governed by the regulatory
requirement and further to company standards through annual performance
appraisal.
PY
In order to maintain and continuously improve upon our performance and quality it
is necessary to integrate new ideas, suggestions, skills and systems.
O
Simultaneously it is also necessary to ensure that we do not deviate from the
established norms, rules and regulations, which are in force at a particular time. To
C
achieve this we need to have a regular channel of communication, checks and
evaluation. E D

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

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.

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
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
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
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.
PAGE 24
FLIGHT DISPATCH MANUAL JA/OPS/054
Operations of “D” flights require permission from respective regulator and also from
overflying countries whereas the schedule flight had already been approved by
authorities.

FLIGHT DISPATCH MANUAL JA/OPS/054
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 :
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.

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
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-

Baro-Aided
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.

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

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.

10.9.4 Monitoring and Update of Flight Movement with OOOI timings.
a) OOOI Timings
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
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“.
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
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
previous day not meeting the criterion of rescheduling as mentioned above (less
than D-10 hrs ).
U
Ground return of a flight : If the flight after pushback or taxi from the departure
station, returns to the parking bay, then it is termed as a ground return.
Force return : If the flight diverts and returns to its departure station then it is
termed as an Air turn back / Force return.
PAGE 135
FLIGHT DISPATCH MANUAL JA/OPS/054
10.9.7 Re-route
b) When a flight is scheduled to operate multi legs, and the sequence of operation
of the different legs are changed then it is called re-routing. This may be due to
weather, technical, operational or various other reasons. For example 9w
PY
2500/2500/2500 is scheduled to operate as BOM/PBD/DIU/BOM but may be
re-routed to operate as BOM/DIU/PBD/BOM.;

The flights for which revenue passengers have been booked and then the flight
cannot be operated due various reasons like technical grounding , weather,
TR
When an aircraft planned to operate a scheduled flight is not available for operation
due to a technical snag on the aircraft, the delay is termed as “Technical Delay“
C
When a flight is delayed due technical reasons, IOCC will post an initial advice time
N
of 30mins, during which engineering will assess the snag and advise an estimated
time by which time the aircraft shall be made serviceable for operations.

In determining if a return (ground or flight) is required, the following factors will be
considered :
O
include hazardous phenomena such as thunderstorms, turbulence, icing,
volcanic ash and restrictions to visibility;
C
ii) Field conditions, such as runway condition and availability, and navaid status;
E D
iii) En-route navigation systems and facilities where possible failures may occur

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
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
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.

BACKGROUND :
Jet Airways has Integrated Operations Control Centre (IOCC) at BOM and Flight
Dispatch facility at BOM/ DEL/ CCU/ and MAA.
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
COMPANY POLICY :
U
OPERATIONAL CONTROL :
PAGE 146
FLIGHT DISPATCH MANUAL JA/OPS/054
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
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.
PAGE 147
FLIGHT DISPATCH MANUAL JA/OPS/054
Flight watch is maintained using the combination of the LIDO Flight Planning
Module and SITA AIRCOM server. LIDO Flight Planning System uses; either EET
from OFP or ACARS position reports to display the aircraft estimated or actual
position respectively.

available means such as VHF, HF through ATC, SATCOM, STOCKHOLM Radio,
telephone communications etc.
O
Refer FDM Chapter 10.10 for detailed procedure of Flight Watch

PROCESS :
As per Flight Allocation procedure (available with all FD Stations and IOCC), the
LL
respective FD station shall remain responsible for the said flight w.r.t. Flight
Planning and Flight Following including Weather Watch covering Departure,
O
Flight Dispatch BOM, in addition to Flight Following of its allocated flights, shall also
remain responsible for Flight Watch of all flights in the network through ACARS,

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
•
N
•
O
Jet Airways System Network – Jet Soft, NetLine Ops, SITA Network, Email.

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.

Weather watch is the task of monitoring weather from planning till termination of
flight.
Process
a) Pre-Flight watch :
PY
Shift Duty officer will check all station TAFOR /METAR minimum 6hrs before
the departure of the flight. If deteriorating trend in terms of AOM is expected,
O
advise IOCC on the same. Brief the next shift Duty officer to follow up and
keep IOCC advised. Also, alert GHA / APM to provide local support on the
C
same.
2) Check IMD, NOAA and other relevant met sites for weather update;
TR
5) Monitor the weather condition till aircraft departs station. Keep IOCC on
C
loop;
N
During the flight cycle of an aircraft, many messages are transmitted to/from the
aircraft and relevant stations relating to the flight phase and/or position of the
aircraft. They may take the form of automatically generated reports from the aircraft
systems i.e. ACARS, the flight planning system, or information relayed by other
authorities / systems such as Netline, Air Traffic Control, SITA Aircom, ARINC etc.

The Flight Following database, IFM flight event is used to store position information
and provide the facility to monitor expected reports, update ETAs and provide this
information to other parties
IFM flight event records hold the estimated position of each flight. These estimates
PY
use the original flight plan estimates updated by actual reports received. The
estimated position information can be output on teletype, displayed to the operator
or passed to an external graphic display where available. It is also used to revise

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

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
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
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.

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

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"

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.

objective, variable Taxi time has been implemented in operation.
While optimizing fuel uplift for all flights, monthly Taxi Out/In time reports are
established for every destination on the network. These advisories are generated
PY
with adequate buffers based on past experience and shall be provided to Flight
Despatch with monthly updates. In case of non-availability of historical data, the
default advisories shall be considered.
O
Considering all the practical purposes, following Two (02) types of Taxi Times have
C
been worked out
Taxi In times are based on higher of Average of preceding 3 month data and
TR
Previous year corresponding Month (Seasonal affect). LIDO Flight Planning System
has been configured to automatically capture the variable Taxi Time.
N
Jet Soft fuel page has been amended to show Taxi Out time against respective
flights.
O
C
a) Flights departing out from Dispatch Stations BOM / DEL / CCU / MAA
U
Flight Dispatcher will pass the Taxi Out Fuel along with RTOW, TRIP and
Departure Fuel to the Load and Trim Staff/ CLCU.
Pilot in Command will pass the Taxi Out Fuel along with RTOW, TRIP and
Departure Fuel to the Customer Services Staff.
The Pre-flight briefing sheet have been amended as under to show the output of
Taxi Out fuel for easy reference and also to facilitate capture of information for
subsequent automation.

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.

Jet Airways leases its aircraft for wet and dry lease operations to other airlines.
Since the aircraft are Indian registered, in terms of the current regulations the lessor
i.e. Jet Airways has to exercise operational control during wet lease operations.
The Sr. GM Flight Operations is therefore required to ensure that all requirements
for the same and efficient conduct of operations are being complied with. These
PY
include provision of operational support ensuring proper aircraft documentation and
adhering stipulations as laid down in various AIP and documents in respect of
countries including over flying.

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

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

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.
