CRM
- PPAA shall be performed by the PF, to ensure flying the aircraft is highest priority. Any required configuration changes (gear,
flaps, speedbrakes) must be ordered by the PF and performed by the PM
- Abnormal procedure handling ends with the call out <Abnormal procedure completed, your ATC= given by the PF after
completing the status briefing.
- The Commander of the flight performs FORDEC together with the Co-Pilot to identify the impact of the malfunction on the
further flight progress.
- Never 2 heads down more than 10 sec
- Following an engine failure / fire, do the procedure, climb to a safe altitude, ask ATC assistance, prepare your return, come back
to land.

Correct aircraft trimming is necessary to be able to engage auto-pilot:
a) Rudder trim: Initially full trim deflection into life engine, at higher speed (160 kts), reduce trim by 1 / 3 to 2/3 of
displacement towards the working engine.
b) Aileron trim: 1-2 cm maximum towards the working engine.
c) Rudder Pedals: use to keep inclinometer nearly centered.

FLAPS 7° takeoff: require a higher TO speed and longer TORA / TODA / ASDA. More preferable in icing conditions. This setting
minimizes pitch changes on flap retraction and maximizes initial climb gradient.
FLAPS 15° takeoff: Where runway length is limiting, F15° is acceptable to permit a higher take off mass.
Rolling T/O may be started upon entering the runway. Thrust should not be increased before the aircraft is lined up, as any
acceleration out of a turn or combination of high thrust and braking should be avoided. Add 500ft to the computed Takeoff

OBSTACLE CLEARANCE (LOSS OF ENGINE AT V1)
Second segment is generally the most limiting segment. When at an airport that requires a minimum climb gradient to an altitude that is
higher than 1,500 feet AGL, the second segment is extended to that minimum “safe” altitude. In order to meet the second segment climb,
all conditions must be met, particularly, climbing at V2.
Speeds
- VREF < VAPP
- V1, VR, V2, VENR, VREF, VAPP / V2, VREF, VAPP, (VGA = VAPP)
- Minimum final approach speed is VAPP
- Engine Failure at or above V1. Climb with V2 (V2 + 10)
- Single engine GO AROUND. Climb with VAPP
- Two engines GO AROUND. Climb with VENR= 160 kts
- VREF: In windy conditions = VREF + ½ HWC + Gust (max 20kts) will be the target speed until 50ft threshold.
- VREF= Minimum final approach speed—This speed is 1.3 VSO and is the minimum speed to be used on final approach. It is the
airspeed that is used for the threshold crossing speed with full flaps and landing gear extended.
- VAPP= Minimum landing approach climb speed—The landing approach climb (1.3 VS1) with 15° flap position, landing gear up.
Also used as minimum go-around speed.
- V2= Safety climb speed—V2 is also a function of weight and aircraft configuration. It is obtained from the performance charts in
the AFM or from the abbreviated check-list. V2 gives the best angle of climb (altitude vs distance).
VAPP: The landing approach climb airspeed (1.3 VS1) with 15° flap position, landing gear UP.
VREF: The airspeed equal to the landing 50-foot point speed (1.3 VSO) with full flaps and landing gear extended.
VSO: The stalling speed or the minimum steady flight speed in the landing configuration.
VS1: The stalling speed or the minimum steady flight speed obtained in a specified configuration.
VENR: Single-engine enroute climb speed.
V2: Takeoff Safety Speed. This climb speed is the actual speed at 35 feet above the runway surface as demonstrated in flight
during takeoff with one engine inoperative.

MANEUVERS
STEEP TURNS:
60% - 65% N1 + 3% N1 just before entering the turn (or passing the 30° bank into a 45°).
Pitch +2,5° nose up.
Fine corrections only. Use pitch trim.
Where to focus on (not the attitude indicator as primary): BANK ANGLE / VSI (KEEP VSI INSIDE THE BOX)
Before initiating any turn, in level flight
- First be absolutely stabilized.
- Secondly, add +2% N1, which will increase your speed slightly (within 60”)
As you roll into the steep turn, passing 30° of bank, you will need to add some forward pressure, by adding some of Nose up
trim. As you reach the 45° of bank
As you roll out to the other direction, you will need some forward pressure. Again, your VSI will tell you how to adjust the
pressure.
If your VSI MOVES UP, you will need forward pressure (DN). You need to TRIM DN
If your VSI MOVES DN, you will need to relieve the forward pressure to up (UP). You need to TRIM UP

Stabilised Approach
The flight path must be correct (on centreline and chosen descent path) and speed must be between VAPP+10 kts, and VREF.
Large power changes (more that 5% N1) will tend to destabilize the approach.
Typical power settings during approach path is 60% - 65% N1.
WEIGHT LIMITATIONS
TIPS & NOTES
SE OPERATIONS:
At 400 ft AAL NAV should be promptly engaged unless the desired missed approach path cannot be flown in NAV (e.g., visual
approach, dual FMS failure, etc.) or ATC assigns a heading. If HDG is used, maintain the current heading until reaching 400’ AAL.
Instead of thrust reduction at 1000 feet, climb to engine-out acceleration altitude, accelerate, clean-up and then set MCT (i.e.,
same procedures that are applicable to engine failure after V1).
VAPP Minimum = Vs x 1.3
VREF = 0,6 AOA
VAPP = 0,5 AOA
Approaching safe altitude: initiate level off 1000 ft prior to safe altitude (MAA) selected
In case of engine failure during go-around, it is recommended to follow the standard missed approach procedure if S/E climb
gradient is above required procedure climb gradient. Alternatively, the EOSID of the landing runway must be followed. If in
doubt, delay acceleration segment to final missed approach altitude or MSA.
PF safeguards the unaffected (LIVE) engine throttle. PM retards the affected throttle to FI / FSO (with confirmation).
SE reverse thrust on the LIVE engine is possible, but it will yaw the A/C into the LIVE engine side.
Seat position: 90°
Gear horn will sound if:
a) IAS < 150 KTS
b) Either throttle position < 70% N2
In the SIM horn will not sound as both throttles ate already pushed forward. There is no need to scramble for anything. Just
focus on flying the appropriate course, while pitching up for V2 (second segment is more restrictive) until reaching a safe
altitude (ACC ALT then MSA or GO AROUND). Call for MEMO items, then the appropriate checklist.
MISSED APPROACH:
- In case of engine failure during go-around, it is recommended to follow the standard missed approach procedure if S/E
climb gradient is above required procedure climb gradient. Alternatively, the EOSID of the landing runway must be
followed. If in doubt, delay acceleration segment to final missed approach altitude or MSA.
- The missed approach must be initiated no later than reaching the MAPt or at the DA/H, whichever comes first. The lateral
part of the missed approach must be flown via the MAPt unless otherwise stated on the approach chart.
- If missed approach is initiated from high altitude, or near or even above the MAA, selecting full thrust and following the
FD GA pitch command may lead to unsafe flight states or altitude / level busts. (Reduce thrust as required, about 75%)
- Circle to land Missed Approach Procedure: Join Missed Approach Procedure of the instrument runway. If required, turn
towards runway and remain within circling area until clear of obstacles.
- In the event of a missed approach or a go-around, simultaneously push the throttle levers to the TO detent, while
pressing the go-around button. Pressing the go-around button will cancel all modes set in the flight director and
command a 10° nose up pitch attitude. Call for flaps APPROACH (flaps 15 or flaps 7 if climb gradient is a factor) and press
the heading button (HDG MODE) on the flight director control panel.
- If a GPS approach (or overlay) was programmed into the FMS and the missed approach procedure is sequenced by use
of the go-around button, the pilot flying may elect to press the NAV button (NAV MODE) on the flight, or the (FMS
MODE), on EFIS PANEL.
HIGH ALTITUDE CONSIDERATIONS
An upset is any unexpected deviation from a normal flight path and could be caused by flying too slow, flying too fast, turbulence or a
flight control malfunction.
At high altitude, the "flight envelope" — the scope for the air-craft to change velocity or increase altitude — can be very restricted.
This is because the thin air at altitude has two effects; first, the speed of sound becomes lower at higher altitude and, second, the aircraft's
stalling speed is greater in the thin air. Hence, if an aircraft is flying straight and level at high subsonic speed at high altitude, and the pilot
tries to accelerate, he may get close enough to the speed of sound to cause buffeting (the "sound barrier").
Also, if he tries to slow down, the aircraft may approach its stall speed — at which point the pilot will also feel buffeting due to stall
effects.
"Buffet" feels like vertical vibration, which can reach 0.2 g.
Finally, if the pilot tries to climb upwards from a cruise at high subsonic speed and high altitude, the increased angle of attack in the thin
air may also induce buffeting prior to stalling.
The situation described above is known to test pilots as "coffin corner" (see Figure below).
Because air density decreases exponentially with altitude, the seemingly small climb from the mid-30s to FL 410 causes a dramatic change
in the amount of air the wing and engines have to work with.
With power output drop-ping dramatically, the wing needs to operate at an ever-increasing angle of attack to hold the airplane up.
At some weight there won't be enough power available to accelerate the airplane, the AOA will continue to increase just to hold altitude
and the airplane will be hanging there, unable to speed up and a stall is inevitable.
MONITORING THE AOA index is very critical. Never go more than 0.4 at high altitudes close to service ceiling.
Aerodynamic (low speed) stall at high altitude is sometimes referred to as a high incidence stall.
The term high incidence stall is used to differentiate a high altitude, low speed stall from a high altitude, Mach stall. The Mach stall occurs
due to shock waves which form when the aircraft exceeds its critical Mach number. At high altitudes, the speeds at which the two types of
stall occur become closer and closer culminating at a point on the Flight Envelope diagram referred to as coffin corner.
