CH1: INTRODUCTION
Introduction
This workbook is designed to aid you in preparing for simulator training lessons. Within,
you will find general training information and procedures, operational information, and a
study guide for each lesson. Each lesson study guide contains an outline of the lesson,
associated documentation, reference material, study guides, and completion standards.
Reviewing the lesson package will help ensure you are fully prepared for the lesson.
Students are expected to arrive having studied the indicated reference material.
Instructor’s reserve the right to discontinue the lesson if it becomes apparent that students
did not adequately prepare for the simulator session.
Workbook Role
This manual has been developed as a supplementary training aid to assist students in
identifying and locating appropriate information to review for each lesson. Additionally,
techniques may be discussed in detail within this document that are not found in the flight
crew operating manual (FCOM).
When a discrepancy exists between this workbook and the FCOM, students shall defer to
the FCOM as the governing document. Bring this to your instructor’s attention for
correction in a future revision.
Lesson 1 Expectations
Prior to your first lesson, students should be familiar with the following items:
➢ Read CH1, CH2, and CH3 of this Student Workbook.
➢ Familiarize yourself with the location of FCOM information.
➢ A basic understanding of the aircraft systems.
➢ Know memory items and limitations.
➢ All flows, flow triggers, and checklist triggers.
➢ V-Speed definitions and applications.
➢ The roles of Pilot Flying and Pilot Monitoring.
➢ The takeoff profile and callouts.
➢ Read PT1 Lesson Guide in this workbook.
Utilize the Procedures Trainer 1 (PT1) Lesson Guide to help locate reference material for
your study. Preparation for the PT1 lesson begins the first day of class. Material covered
during the classroom portion is designed to prepare a student for the simulator training
portion of the course.
Rev. 2 2 01/10/2022
CH1: INTRODUCTION
Example Sim Lesson

To help students further understand what a potential simulator lesson may consist of, here
is a brief description of an “average” simulator lesson.
LOS2 0800-1200
Several days before the lesson, begin reviewing this workbook’s lesson guide for LOS2.
Complete the lesson worksheet in the guide, study the indicated FCOM sections, and review
any deficient items from the previous lesson.
This means you may need to meet with your sim partner to practice or prepare. Studying
together is extremely beneficial.
On the morning of the lesson, arrive at least 20 minutes early to do a final review and
preparation. This includes looking over airport procedures, diagrams, charts, approaches,
weather, etc.
0800 – 0845: Instructor briefing. A guided discussion on the topics you should have self-
studied. Discuss applications, go through scenarios, and review procedures. Students
should demonstrate a basic understanding of the material during the briefing.
0845 – 0900: Short break, simulator setup.
0900 – 1100: Operate a flight from La Guardia to Reagan National Airport. During the
flight, crews may encounter systems failures, weather deviations, passenger problems, etc.
Crews should utilize their resources and CRM skills to address these safely, legally, and
efficiently. Instructors will not provide guidance or pause the simulator. Everything is
conducted in real-time.
1100 – 1130: SPOT Training. If the instructor feels you need additional practice with a
procedure or maneuver, this is the additional time to perform this. Additionally, the
instructor may have a specific training item to discuss – in this case, rejected takeoffs. You
will perform several rejected takeoffs.
11:30 – 12:00: Debriefing. A facilitated debrief to help students recognize deficient areas
and provide directed studying for correction.
NOTE: please allot extra time past the scheduled slot period. If SPOT training runs long, the
debriefing may not end until 12:10 to 12:15, or even slightly later. While we do our best to
remain within the time period, sometimes the lesson runs over. It is to your benefit to
debrief completely.
It is recommended NOT to schedule any activities that require you to leave sooner than 15
minutes after your scheduled lesson end time.

Introduction
This section contains information to aid you in locating and familiarizing yourself with
information relevant to all operations. Any non-lesson specific content that students
should be familiar with will be located here. This is not an all-inclusive chapter, but it does
provide references for fundamental general operations.
This does not replace a student’s responsibility to read and study the FCOM, but instead
enhances their ability to locate and reference specific materials for their studies.
Checklists
Checklists are located in FCOM Chapter 3 (Normal Checklist) and FCOM Chapter 5
(Emergency Checklist).
For the Normal Checklist, students should be familiar with the type of checklists, names of
the checklists, and trigger for calling for each checklist. FCOM p. 16 to 22 details this
information. Additionally, students should familiarize themselves with the meaning of each
checklist item and its function/switchology. The Amplified Procedures section of FCOM
CH3 begins on p. 23. This section outlines every checklist item with a description of the
task, switch position, and/or indications to complete the checklist item.
The Emergency Checklist is located in FCOM Chapter 5 – Abnormal Procedures. FCOM p.
101 and 102 detail the checklist items. Students are expected to know what procedures
can be found on the checklist. Additionally, all highlighted items are considered “memory
items” that must be committed to memory.
Memory Items
Some procedures require immediate action by the flight crew to mitigate potentially
dangerous conditions. These actions are called “memory items” and should be completed
once the respective condition is identified.
There are 11 procedures with memory items, and 7 of those are located on the Emergency
Checklist. The 4 that are not on the Emergency Checklist are the engine start malfunctions.
FCOM CH 5, p.99 contains the list of required memory item procedures. Refer to the
Emergency Checklist for the procedure itself. The four engine-start malfunction memory
items and associated procedures are located on p.99.
Callouts
Students are expected to verbalize certain activities in the flight deck. This is a good
practice in maintaining situational awareness and promoting good Crew Resource
Management (CRM) in the flight deck.
It is also a good technique to ensure the automation features are programmed and
functioning properly. FCOM CH6 (Operational Policy) contains the normal and FMS callouts
Rev. 2 5 01/10/2022
required at Blue Raider Airlines. These are found on p. 113/114. Below is list of basic
callouts, but it is not all inclusive; refer to the FCOM for a complete list.
➢ Any Flight Mode Annunciator (FMA) change should be verbalized as the FCOM
instructs.
➢ Within 1000 feet of capturing an altitude, an appropriate callout should be made.
➢ When setting a new altitude, both pilots should verbalize and point to the altitude
selector.
➢ Any time a change is made to the FMS after pushback, a confirmation should take
place before executing the change.
Predeparture Paperwork
Predeparture paperwork is essential for all airline operations. It contains the FAR Part 121
legally required information, plus additional company specific information that is pertinent
for the flight.
Dispatch Release
The dispatch release is the first piece of predeparture paperwork. This is received at the
gate from the gate agent – or in this case, during the briefing from your sim instructor.
FCOM CH 6 details weather and alternate requirements. Below is an example of a flight
dispatch release.

Decoded Example Release
Let’s decode this example dispatch release.
Departure City – KBNA Expected Departure Time – 1100Z / 9th
Destination City – KMEM Expected Arrival Time – 1147Z / 9th
Takeoff Alternate – NONE Destination Alternate - NONE
Filed Route – DANLS3 DANLS SPKER BLUZZ2
Filed Cruise Altitude – FL240
Alternate Cruise Altitude – NONE Alternate Arrival Time – NONE
The first block is the flight plan information. It includes the origin, destination, alternates,
departure and arrival times, and filed route and altitude. Note, the filed route in this block
is the route you will program into the FMS RTE page – do not use the LEGS section of the
release to program your route.
The next section is dedicated to MELs for the aircraft. An MEL is an inoperative system or
equipment that is authorized to be inoperative for the flight.
MEL ITEMS
MEL DESCRIPTION PROC EXPIRES
22-10-1 AUTOPILOT SYSTEM O B – 3 Days
The MEL number is the specific identifier for the inoperative system – it can be looked up
in the MEL Manual. For this class, a sheet with the MEL information will be provided. The
description is the inoperative equipment name. PROC stands for procedure. An “O”
indicates a flight crew procedure must be performed before or during flight. An example is
turning the avionics fan from GND to FLT after takeoff. An “M” indicates a maintenance
procedure must be performed before flight. An example of this is visually inspecting an
engine component. N indicates no procedures are required – there is no impact to
operational requirements.
All MELs have four categories for repair (expiration). A is within a specific time interval
(usually short – IE 2 flight segments). B is within 3 days. C is within 10 days. D is within
120 days.
The next section is flight plan remarks. This section enables the dispatcher to pass along
information to the crew about remarks, flight planning, NOTAMS, fuel considerations, etc.
FLIGHT PLAN REMARKS
---EXTRA FUEL FOR EN ROUTE DEVIATIONS---
Rev. 2 9 01/10/2022
The next section is the fuel summary chart.
The top number is fuel in pounds. The bottom number is estimated fuel in HHMM format.

TAXI fuel is the planned fuel from engine start to applying take-off power.
B/O (Burn-off) is the planned fuel from take-off power until touchdown at destination.
ALTF (Alternate) is the planned fuel from the missed approach point at the destination
until touchdown at the alternate field.
RESV (Reserve) is the planned FAR legal reserve fuel (45 minutes).
HOLD is the designated fuel for any potential or actual holding.
CONTG (contingency) is fuel authorized for weather deviations, ATC delays, altitude
changes, extended taxi delays, or other unforeseen circumstances.
MINF (Minimum) is the legally required fuel to advance thrust levers into the take-off
position. It includes B/O, ALTF, RESV, HOLD, and CONTG fuels.
EXTRA fuel is additional fuel for use at Captain’s discretion, and it is not part of the MINF
calculation.
RAMP is the planned fuel quantity at pushback and is the sum of all fuel quantities.
Next, let’s look at a section of the flight plan LEGS summary. This summary includes every
fix along the route of the flight with distance, time, speed, altitude, temperature, wind, and
fuel calculations. This section is best used in cruise to determine if actual fuel burns are
matching planned fuel burns.

For example, T.O.C. stands for top-of-climb. At TOC, the paperwork says we will have 5591
pounds of fuel remaining. Looking at our gauges, we have 5650. This is fairly accurate, and
we will continue to compare actual fuel to planned fuel at various checkpoints to monitor
the fuel state.
Let’s break down the entire line now for the TOC. From BNA to the TOC, we have travelled
12 minutes and have 34 minutes remaining. This equates to travelling 10 NM with 139 NM
remaining. The planned TAS is 306. 290 is the indicated speed because we are not high
enough for a MACH number, and 289 is the planned groundspeed. The altitude is FL200
with an OAT of -25 degrees C. The wind is 250 degrees at 17 knots. Fuel remaining is 5591
and fuel burned is 1049.
The next section in a release is the winds and temperature deviations chart.
WINDS AND TEMPS
CLB CRZ DES
AVG WIND CMP P000 M027 M023
AVG TEMP DEV P000 P009 P008
This information is placed into the FMS PERF INIT page 2. For temperature, it is the
deviation from standard ISA (P5 means ISA+5). For wind, it is the ground speed impact.
For example, M027 in wind means a 27-knot headwind (minus 27 knots to groundspeed).
These are sorted into the three phases of flight.
Next is weather and NOTAMS. The flight release lists the METAR, TAF and NOTAMS for the
departure airport first, then the METAR, TAF, and NOTAMS for the arrival airport, and
finally the METAR, TAF, and NOTAMS for all alternate airports.

Rev. 2 11 01/10/2022
Weight and Balance
Another element of the predeparture paperwork is the weight and balance form from the
flight attendant/ramp agent. To obtain your ACARS Takeoff and Landing Data, the crew
must first input the position of all passengers, baggage, and cargo.
The flight attendant will provide the passenger count. Passengers are classified as either
adults or children. The aircraft is divided into three zones – A, B, and C. Input the
information on the PAX DETAIL of the LOADSHEET ACARS page. See FCOM p.83 for ACARS
LOADSHEET screen information. PAX DETAIL is only required if children are in the zone.
If all passengers are adults, the number can be entered directly onto the LOADSHEET page.
The ramp agent will provide the cargo bin loading form. On the LOADSHEET page of
ACARS, input this information for the forward and rear cargo bins. Each bin can receive
checked, heavy, and carry-on bag information in terms of number of bags. Ballast and
Other can be inputted in units of pounds on the same screen.
REMEMBER: if it is asking for bags, it is just the number of bags. If passengers, then it is the
number of passengers. Ballast and other is the quantity in pounds.
D-ATIS
If available, flight crew can obtain digital ATIS using the ACARS system. Refer to FCOM CH4
p. 84.
Predeparture Clearance (PDC)
If available, flight crew can obtain their clearance using the ACARS system. Refer to FCOM
CH4 p. 84.
ACARS Performance
The final step in the predeparture paperwork process is to obtain the takeoff performance
data. This data incorporates your inputs on runway, surface conditions, weight and
balance, and weather information to compute your takeoff performance requirements.
FCOM CH4. p. 85 – 89 details this process. Once you obtain your performance data,
remember to input your V-Speeds, FLEX Temperature, and Trim Setting into the aircraft.
Take note of the type of takeoff (Standing or Rolling), bleed configuration (Open or Closed),
and flap setting (8/20). Additionally, verify you are under the runway and flight plan
maximum takeoff weights. Finally, take note of the engine failure procedure that provides
navigation guidance for engine failures on takeoff.
Takeoff and Landing V Speeds

The following V-Speeds are referenced throughout the FCOM, QRH, and flight paperwork.
V1 (TAKEOFF DECISION SPEED) – The speed below which a takeoff must be aborted and
the aircraft brought to a full stop in the event of an engine failure, and the speed above
which a takeoff is continued in the event of an engine failure.
Rev. 2 12 01/10/2022
VR (ROTATION SPEED) – The speed at which the airplane is rotated to takeoff pitch
attitude. This speed cannot be less than V1.
V2 (TAKEOFF SAFETY SPEED) – The speed that meets the minimum required climb
gradient with one engine inoperative in the takeoff configuration.
VFTO (VCLIMB or VT) (ACCELERATION SPEED) – The speed that gives the maximum gradient
of climb with the critical engine inoperative in the clean configuration. This speed is set
under VT in the CRJ.
VREF (APPROACH REFERENCE SPEED) – The approach speed of the airplane when in the
landing configuration. While this speed is the target landing speed, crews should add a
“factor” to this speed for safety margins.
VREF + Factor – this is the actual speed crews fly on the approach. The default factor is 5
knots. If the winds are gusting, crews should add half the gust factor to the V REF speed, up
to a maximum of 15. Crews should not fly faster than VREF + 15.
Rev. 2 13 01/10/2022
Briefings
Briefings are designed to enhance crew situational awareness and promote good CRM
skills. Crews should utilize briefings to identify threats, discuss mitigation strategies,
review pertinent non-normal procedures, NOTAMS, weather, and discuss the basic plan of
action for the flight.
Blue Raider Airlines provides its crews with a briefing card that guides students through
obtaining, inputting, then briefing appropriate information. It is highly recommended
crews utilize this tool.
Departure Briefing
Blue Raider Airlines uses the acronym “WARTS” as the suggested technique for departure
briefings.
➢ Weather
o Takeoff Minimums / Legal to Depart
o Windshear/Gusts
o Takeoff Alternate
o Destination Weather/Alternate
➢ Abnormal/Aborts
o Aborted Takeoff Criteria / Responsibilities
o MEL’s/Non-Normal Procedures
➢ Runway
o Length
o Surface Condition
➢ Taxi/Terrain/Threats
o Taxi Route
o Hot Spots
o Terrain in the Area
o Potential Threats to the Flight
➢ SID/Specials
o Departure Procedure
o Speed / Altitude Restrictions
o Engine Out Procedures
o Airport Special Procedures
It is not required to brief in this order. The WARTS is meant as a coverall to ensure you
covered all pertinent items. It is perfectly acceptable to brief without referencing the
WARTS, and then referencing the WARTS acronym after the briefing to verify all items
were covered. Some prefer the “story telling” method of starting at the gate and working
through the flight to completion. Again, utilize WARTS afterwards to verify all items were
covered.
Rev. 2 14 01/10/2022
Here is an example of a departure briefing:
“Today were going from BNA to ATL, weather is great, VMC all the way, no alternate
required or filed. Plenty of fuel for the flight. Winds in ATL are gusty, but we’ll brief that on
the descent. We’ll push back and taxi to spot 4 and call ground, then go to runway 20C via
T4, S7. Hotspot as we turn onto S7, so let’s get all our checklists done before we get there.
Runway 20C is dry and 8000 feet long. Plenty of room. Aborts: prior to 80 knots, we will
abort for any caution or warning message. After 80 knots, we will only abort for fires,
smoke, flight control failure, windshear, or if the plane is unsafe to fly. The departure is the
EVVAN 3, so we will go NAV mode to 4,000 feet, no speed restrictions. We can return here
if we have an emergency to 20R or 20C. 20L is closed. Biggest threat is the short taxi and
flight time, so let’s stay ahead and if we fall behind, speak up and we can get delay vectors
or hold. Let’s not rush. Any questions?”
The briefer can then reference the WARTS acronym to verify all required information was
covered.
Approach Briefing
The approach briefing should be accomplished as soon as possible. It is preferred to
complete all briefings prior to the top-of-descent (TOD). Similar to WARTS, Blue Raider
Airlines utilizes a “NATS” acronym to help guide approach briefings.
➢ NOTAMS
o ATIS Advisories
o NOTAMs
o Chart Change Notices
➢ Arrival/Approach/Automation
o Weather
o STAR (Altitudes, Speeds, Transitions)
o IAP Approach Brief
o Landing Performance Data
o V-Speeds
o MDA/DA
o Missed Approach Plan
o Autopilot Usage
➢ Taxi/Terrain/Threats
o Terrain
o Threats and Mitigations
o Taxi Plan
o Hot Spots
o Parking Gate
➢ Special Pages
o Company Information
Rev. 2 15 01/10/2022
o Airport Requirements
As with the departure briefing, you do not have to read directly from this list. Instead, use
it as a guide to ensure all the appropriate information is covered in your briefing. The Blue
Raider Airlines briefing sheet has this information provided.
Below is an example arrival briefing.
“We’re 5 minutes from TOD, let’s go ahead and brief this up. We have ATIS Echo (review
weather). We are on the CHPPR1 arrival, expecting to cross CHPRR at 13000 and 250 knots
– that is in the FMS. After that we will expect 9000 at JAGGR, that is also in there. Then
vectors for the ILS 8L into ATL, that’s page 11-1. Frequency 109.3 and course 095 both set.
FAF is SCHEL at 2900, MSA is 3100 all quadrants, and the LDG ELEV is set at 1026. Well get
vectors on, follow the glideslope down, and look for PAPIs on the left. Minimums are not
required, its VMC. If we go missed, we will follow tower’s instructions to an expected 3500
altitude. After landing, exit right onto B7 or B11, and taxi via B, V, F to the gates. It is gusty
(050 @ 25 G40), so let’s add 5 knots onto our factor speed, Vref + 10 then. If we aren’t
stable, call a go around. That will be our biggest threat. Any questions?”
The briefer can then reference NATS to ensure the briefing covered all pertinent
information.
Rev. 2 16 01/10/2022
En Route Procedures
Once reaching top-of-climb (TOC), crews should shift attention to conducting en route
procedures. FCOM CH3 p.39 and CH4 p. 65 describe these cruise responsibilities. The four
major cruise considerations are:
➢ Fuel Checks
➢ RVSM Checks
➢ Weather / Deviations
➢ Crew Coordination
Arrival Procedures
Preparation for the arrival should begin as soon as practical. It is recommended that about
150 NM or 30 NM prior to TOD that crews begin to prepare for arrival. A mnemonic that
may help you in remembering your responsibilities is “ATIS/Weights/Plates”.
“ATIS”
First, obtain your ATIS from either the ACARS D-ATIS (FCOM p. 84) or using a VHF radio if
D-ATIS is not available.
“WEIGHTS”
Next, determine your landing performance. If the ACARS is operable, utilize the ACARS
PERFORMANCE page to input and receive this information.
If ACARS is not available, utilize the speed cards to calculate V-speeds. First, determine
landing weight by subtracting planned arrival fuel from the FMS/PFD from the Fuel on
Board. This gives you planned fuel burn. Look at the FMS PERF Page to view current gross
weight. Subtract the fuel burn from the gross weight to obtain your estimated landing
weight. On the speed card, obtain VREF, V2, and VT. Input V2 and VT into the air data
reference panel.
“PLATES”
Determine your expected approach. Program this into the FMS. Input your DDA/DA into
the air data reference panel. Perform a NATS briefing that includes the instrument
approach briefing.
Rev. 2 17 01/10/2022
Pilot Roles and Responsibilities

Crew members have specific roles and responsibilities depending on phase of flight and
operational conditions. It is important to know what your place is within the team to
maintain good CRM.
CA vs FO
The Captain (CA) is the pilot-in-command (PIC) for the flight. (S)he is the final authority as
to the safe operation of the aircraft. On the ground, the Captain calls for all checklists,
determines when boarding may begin, gives authorization for door closure, and taxis the
aircraft. The CA communicates with dispatch to verify paperwork legality or flight
concerns.
The First Officer (FO) is the second-in-command (SIC) for the flight. (S)he is responsible for
supporting the PIC, providing a second layer of defense against threats and errors, and
ensuring a safe completion of the flight. The FO reads all checklists on the ground,
communicates with ATC/Ramp, and obtains ATIS/Clearance information when ACARS is
not operating. Additionally, the FO normally handles the ACARS performance data for
takeoff. This includes programming V-Speeds, inputting FLEX temperature, and trim
settings.
PF vs PM
Ground
While on the ground, Pilot Flying (PF) and Pilot Monitoring (PM) roles are determined by
the Captain. Typically, the duties alternate each flight. The PF is responsible for
programming the flight plan into the FMS, setting up the flight control panel (FCP), and
reviewing all charts/weather/NOTAMS for the flight. The PM is responsible for initializing
ACARS, obtaining ATIS, and obtaining Clearance through the ACARS system.
Airborne
Once airborne, the PF is responsible for flying the aircraft. With the autopilot OFF, the PF
directs the PM to make changes to the FCP or FMS. Example “Heading Mode, Set Heading
360”. With the autopilot ON, the PF will make changes to the FCP or FMS themselves.
The PM’s primary duty is to monitor the state of the aircraft. This includes attitude,
automation, and systems. Additionally, the PM communicates with ATC, flight attendants,
and passengers.

Flows
The information found within is replicated from the FCOM for easy access. FCOM CH.3
contains all the detailed information regarding checklists and flows. This includes the
amplified procedures starting on page 23. If you have a question on what position to place
a switch, what indications you are looking for, or what the checklist item means, then refer
to the amplified procedures for a detailed description.
Flow Triggers
A trigger is the event that signals to the flight crew to perform their flows. Sometimes the
trigger is a statement, reaching a phase of flight, or even calling for the checklist itself. In all
cases, flows should be completed before reading the checklist. This ensures a quick,
smooth process in configuring the aircraft for phases of flight, which enables pilots to
remain “heads-up” more often.
FCOM CH.3 p.17 begins the Normal Checklist Description section that details the flow
trigger for each checklist.
Flow Quick Reference
Refer to Flows Reference Sheet section of FCOM CH.3 p. 16 & 46 – 49 for a more detailed
listing of the flows.
On the following pages is a quick reference study guide for the specific flow items only.
Again, if you need more information as to switch position or what action the checklist is
expecting, refer to the amplified procedures on FCOM page 23.
Space has been left in the margin for students to make notes if you desire.

will complete each checklist to verify system setup and cross-check the FMS and ACARS
programming.
After which, students will depart 20C using the previously learned crosswind procedure.
Students will begin their flight to Atlanta through TOC. Upon reaching TOC, the instructor
will assist in reprogramming for an arrival into BNA (SWFFT2). Review FCOM CH4 p.67
Descent Procedures.
Upon completing the STAR, you will be vectored for GPS 20C Approach into BNA. After
completion, the students will be repositioned for the LOC 20 R. These approaches will be
repeated with both students as PF and PM until competency is achieved.
Students should review CANPA procedures in the FCOM CH4, p.72.
Once competency in non-precision approach procedures and CANPA procedures is
demonstrated, the lesson will shift focus onto the missed approach procedures.
Review FCOM CH4, p. 77 Missed Approach profiles and procedures.
The students will once again perform the GPS 20C approach to a missed approach.
The instructor will alternate between GPS 20C and ILS 20R giving students practice with
both the precision and non-precision missed approach procedures as both PF and PM.
Throughout the lesson, the instructor will introduce and remove icing conditions. Students
should monitor the environment and determine anti-ice requirements throughout the
lesson.
Additionally, students should display proficiency in using the FCP and making required
FMS and additional callouts.
Once competency is achieved, the final approach will be to a full-stop landing and taxi to
gate.

must be done with an authorized stage check instructor and finished prior to the start of
Spring Break. If a crew is weak in an area, they may receive additional training until
proficiency is demonstrated. If proficiency cannot be achieved, then you may be sent for
additional Maneuvers Training with your primary instructor.

Oral Exam
Prior to the lesson, your check instructor will ask questions regarding procedures, flows,
triggers, and knowledge related to the operation of the aircraft. Your previous lesson
workbook questions are excellent study guides to prepare for the MV.
Lesson Timeline
The lesson starts with a Cold and Dark aircraft at Knoxville TYS Airport at Gate 5. Each
student will program the FMS independently for a flight to Orlando MCO. After departure,
the flight will return to TYS for a series of maneuvers. Each student must demonstrate
competency as BOTH PF AND PM in the following maneuvers:
❖ FMS & ACARS Programming
❖ Takeoff
❖ Landing
❖ Precision Approach
❖ CANPA Procedures
❖ Missed Approach
Adequate time is built into the lesson to allow students to repeat events as needed. While
this is a graded checking event, it is also considered a “train to proficiency” lesson. This
means that if you are deficient in a given task, the instructor will provide training and allow
you to repeat the task until proficiency is gained.
In the event there is not enough remaining time to complete the MV due to proficiency-
based training, the event will be scored as an “INCOMPLETE”. The check instructor may
then schedule an additional MV or recommend remedial training with your primary
instructor, depending on the severity of the deficiencies.
Note that any additional training will be billed to your flight account. Your beginning of the
semester deposit for the course does NOT include any buffer for additional training.

Line Operational Simulation 1

The LOS1 lesson is the first in a series of three simulated line flights. Using the skills and
knowledge gained in the PT and MT lessons, students will operate one leg of a routine
flight. During the flight, students will face realistic threats, failures, and other operational
concerns. Using good CRM and operating within the FCOM, students should address and
solve these problems. Unlike the previous lessons, LOS lessons are conducted in real-time
with no aircraft repositioning, and the instructor will not provide input in your decision-
making process. At the end of the lesson, you will have an opportunity to repeat any
deficient areas. Additionally, there will be training on performing rejected takeoffs.

The flight begins in Nashville cold and dark at the gate. Students will prepare the aircraft
for a flight to Detroit (DTW). The weather is IMC and cold weather.
Review any dispatch remarks and MEL requirements during your preflight activities.
Be alert to any systems malfunctions. Any previously taught procedure is eligible for
inclusion in the LOE scenario.
Rev. 2 49 01/10/2022
This includes, but is not limited to, route deviations, holding procedures, TCAS RA/TA,
systems failures/malfunctions, rejected takeoffs, engine start malfunctions, MELs, and
weather radar usage.
Students should employ threat and error management techniques; it is acceptable to make
errors but use TEM/CRM to identify and trap those errors before the aircraft enters an
unacceptable state.
The instructor will not pause or reposition the aircraft. Additionally, any simulator
malfunction should be treated as an actual failure or malfunction. The instructor will alert
you if the simulator is malfunctioning and provide direction on addressing the problem. If
the instructor does not intervene, treat all malfunctions as real.
