INSTRUCTOR NOTE: It can be difficult to tell when an engine has completed the start cycle… An easy way to identify that the start is complete and the engine is running is when the Red EGT Start Limit Bar disappears.
INSTRUCTOR NOTE: When one engine starts and one remains failed, the failed engine continues to try to start itself indefinitely. If you wish to configure the aircraft for landing you will have to call for an additional checklist… ENGINE FAIL or ENGINE SEVERE DAMAGE /SEPARATION… This will secure the engine and set the flaps correctly for landing.

7. ENGINES, APU APU GROUND PNEUMATIC START CONDITION:
The APU requires to be started using Ground pneumatics to provide duct pressure so that the APU air turbine starter can be used to start the APU
REASON:
The electric start motor is unavailable. This may be due to starter motor or circuit problems
CHECKLIST:
FCOM SP 7.1
The Packs must be off before the manifold is pressurised. This is to ensure that the min duct pressure of 15 PSI is achieved After a normal APU start the ground pneumatics are disconnected before the Packs are put to Auto
NOTES: ENGINE BATTERY START CONDITION:
No Ground Power Unit or APU is available to provide the electrical power to start the engines. Pneumatics from the APU or Ground cart is required to provide duct pressure.
REASON:
APU is inop or APU GEN inop and no GPU is available
CHECKLIST:
SP 7.1
NOTES:
If using a ground cart, the FCOM SP ENGINE GROUND PNEUMATIC START and then the ENGINE CROSSBLEED START procedures may need to be performed in the course of this checklist Accomplish the drill by reference to the Supplementary Procedures. If Autostart is available, it should be used. (Autostart is a normal engine start, which is to be accomplished in these procedures). Read SP procedure. Careful planning is required Find out if there is any slot time and plan accordingly Ensure that extra fuel is on board for the increased ground run time (25 Kg per min) 500 Kg min Ensure that the flight deck is set-up as far as possible including completing paperwork, loadsheet, RTOW figures etc. to minimise delays after start Loading should be complete and all passengers on board, doors closed Ensure Ground Crew are ready, Pneumatic Air (if required) is available and Aircraft is clear Get permission to start one engine in the bay and advise that it will run for a while until ready Do SP procedure asking for air when applicable Perform Ground Pneumatic Start if required Start Left Engine in bay Complete SP and restore pack operation for air conditioning Complete cockpit set-up Get start and pushback clearance Pushback, set brake and start second engine (if no APU then this will require an ENGINE CROSSBLEED START ) If there are additional problems like Autostart inop. De-icing required or ENG START VALVE, this could become quite complicated. Plan carefully and Take each stage slowly

01 March 2013 STUDY GUIDE
ENGINE CROSSBLEED START CONDITION:
Air from an engine is used to start the other engine when APU air is not available
REASON:
APU is inop or APU Bleed Air is not available
CHECKLIST:
With the APU Bleed Valve OFF, and the aircraft clear, thrust is increased 5% on the operating engine to provide a minimum 25 psi duct pressure from which the second engine is started (If the duct pressure is above 25psi at idle thrust then a thrust increase to 5% N3 above idle is not necessary)
NOTES:
In this case a Ground Pneumatic Source starts the first engine on the stand. The second engine could also be started but in some cases this may prove too much for the Tow Truck or the Tow Bar Pin This case must be used if a 777 Tow Bar is not available
ENGINE GROUND PNEUMATIC START CONDITION: Ground pneumatics are used to start the engines REASON: APU is inop or APU Bleed Air is not available
CHECKLIST:
Select both packs to OFF. (The OFF lights will be illuminated, but packs must be selected off). A min duct pressure of 25 psi (less 1 psi/1000 ft Press Alt) Engine(s) are started normally Ground Pneumatics must be disconnected then Packs are selected to Auto
NOTES:
If APU is inop then an ENGINE START WITH EXTERNAL ELECTRIC POWER must also be performed. See FCOM SP.7.3 Ensure Ground Crew are ready and Tow Truck and Pneumatic Air are available and Aircraft is clear Get permission to start one engine in the bay Read FCOM SP.7.2 procedure Before connecting the ground air conditioning cart, switch the packs and recirculation fans off. Do SP procedure asking for air when applicable Start one engine at a time Start in bay Disconnect Ground Pneumatics and reinstate Packs nd Get clearance to push and start 2 engine The second engine may have to be started using an Engine Crossbleed Start Advise the Purser to reinstate the power to the cabin if required (See ENGINE START WITH EXTERNAL ELECTRIC POWER )

ENGINE START WITH EXTERNAL ELECTRIC POWER This Procedure has been removed from the removed from FCOM SP but I left this note in as helpful information.
CONDITION:
An Engine start is required while using a Ground Power Unit as the only AC power source.
REASON:
APU is inoperative or APU GEN inoperative.
CHECKLIST:
NOTES:
If APU is inop, this will also require an ENGINE GROUND PNEUMATIC START and possibly an ENGINE CROSSBLEED START This will require a start on the stand. Either 1 or Both Engines Get permission to start in the bay If a 777 tow bar and pin is available, and tow truck is capable, start both on the stand Refer to FCOM SP.7.3 ENGINE GROUND PNEUMATIC START if required Disconnect GPU and Ground Pneumatics Get Pushback clearance nd Set Brake and start 2 Engine if required using ENGINE CROSSBLEED START FCOM SP.7.2 Advise purser to reinstate the power to the cabin if required
MANUAL ENGINE START CONDITION:
An engine start is required without the use of the Autostart System (Engine start using the autostart system is the normal method to start the engine)
REASON: The Autostart is inoperative or selected off. CHECKLIST: FCOM SP.7.4 or Laminated checklist under glareshield
NOTES:
Read the checklist through together first as a crew, and then perform the checklist as an action list. Start one engine at a time. Don't forget that you only put the fuel control switch to run when Oil pressure increases EGT below 100ºC and N3 at max motoring or 25%. Unlike during an autostart the spar and engine fuel valves open as soon as the fuel control switches are placed to Run. If the autostart switch is selected off and the fuel control switch is placed in Run before max motoring you'll get an ENG AUTOSTART L/R caution. This should prompt you to carry out the memory items, which is to abort the engine start. Clever! The procedure lists the start parameters to be monitored in a sequential order. CM2 to keep CM1 in the picture as each stage of the engine start approaches. E.g. Once fuel control switches are to Run, CM2 can say something like "We're looking for EGT within 30secs, we have EGT rise it must remain within limits, now we need N1 rotation by 45%N3". In the event of a start problem / need to abort the start, do the Memory items and call for the aborted engine start checklist. Advise ground crew and decide next course of action i.e. restart or not. Contact EK engineering if necessary.

MANUAL OVERRIDE ENGINE START CONDITION:
The engine start valve must be manually opened and closed with a tool
REASON:
The engine starter valve has failed.
CHECKLIST:
FCOM SP.7.4
NOTES:
This procedure is used after the ENG START VALVE L/R has appeared or the aircraft is dispatched with the start valve inoperative Following the EICAS message ENG START VALVE L/R; complete the start on the good engine. Put on EAI if required on the operating engine Read the ENG START VALVE L/R checklist Consult the MEL for dispatch Advise the ground crew that a Manual Override Engine Start is required and ask them to get the Tool from the E&E compartment Read the SP Arrange a system of hand signals and demonstrate this with the ground engineer while he still can speak to you (when at the engine he may not be able to use his interphone)
APU INOP DISPATCH NOTES:
Considerations: MEL - Backup generators must operate. ETOPS limited to 120minutes. Etc. Next stations - Is ground power available and ground cart for air start available. Is ground air conditioning required? Consult EK engineering. Get them to advice ground staff at destination of requirements. Use the FCOM SP ENGINE GROUND PNEUMATIC START and the FCOM SP ENGINE START WITH EXTERNAL ELECTRIC POWER to start the engines at the stand. If a B777 tow bar is not available, then use the above procedure to start one engine. Disconnect the Ground Pneumatic Air and GPU and push back. Then, accomplish the S.P ENGINE CROSSBLEED START procedure using the running engine to provide duct pressure.

The missed approach acceleration altitude is defined as the missed approach altitude published on the Lido instrument chart. Should the State limits for acceleration altitude be lower than the missed approach altitude published on the Lido instrument approach chart, then his lower altitude will apply. Should the missed approach procedure have a level off segment prior to the published missed approach altitude being reached, the commander may use his discretion to accelerate at this lower altitude providing any speed restriction published in the Lido charts are complied with.

OMA 1.5.3
Flight and Cabin Crew shall be on board whenever passengers are embarking, on board, or disembarking. One member of Flight Crew is sufficient to meet this requirement. Who imperils the safety of the aircraft, passengers or crew, A disruptive Whose conduct or mental or physical state is such as to cause discomfort or make him objectionable to passenger is other passengers, or involve any hazard or risk to the passenger or to other persons or to property, defined as a Who fails to observe the instructions of Emirates staff. passenger: i. Apparent intoxication ii. Being obviously under the influence of drugs (except under proper medical care). iii. Threatening another passenger or a crewmember with physical violence. OMA 20.12.3.1 Abusive or Suggestive Language Although this type of behavior is disturbing and offensive, it need not necessarily be a hazard to ground staff, crew or to the safety or security of the aircraft. Provided it does not create the threat of violence or physical attack, it is not considered an assault. iv. Indecent exposure or proposals v. Theft. vi. Carrying an unauthorized deadly or dangerous weapon, either concealed or unconcealed. vii. Interfering with the safety of a crewmember or of the aircraft. viii. Conveying false information concerning the flight and its safety. ix. Committing or attempting to commit an act of aerial piracy. An INAD is a person who is refused entry by the Immigration Authorities. This category of passenger will generally not pose any threat to flights and therefore are not limited to any number, and do not need special authorisation to travel. However, the Commander and Purser must be advised that the INAD, and any escort, are on board. A deportee (DEPO) is a person who has been formally ordered by the authorities to be removed from that country. DEPOs will only be accepted with written removal directions from the deporting authorities. These directions will give the routing and the flight(s) on which the person is to be deported. A deportee may be in one of two categories, either Escorted (DEPA); or Unescorted (DEPU) No more than eight DEPA passengers should be carried on any flight without the special authorisation of Emirates Group Security management. No more than one DEPU should be carried on any one flight (with an exception permitted for families) without the special authorisation of Emirates Group Security. The Commander and Purser must be advised that the DEPO, and any escort or family members, are on board and the Purser will retain the DEPO travel documents throughout the flight. If the DEPO is under restraint, the procedures for the carriage of persons in custody apply (see paragraph OMA 8.2.2.2.11). The Commander must ensure that a DEPO is not permitted to disembark the aeroplane at any point within the jurisdiction of the deporting country, unless ordered to do so by that country’s authorities. When an aeroplane lands at another station within the jurisdiction of the deporting country or returns to the point of departure, the Commander must inform the station staff and the authorities of the INAD, DEPO, or Prisoner passenger’s presence. Station staff must ensure that the authorities’ instructions for custody of these passengers, either on board the aeroplane or elsewhere pending re-embarkation, are carried out. A prisoner passenger is a person who is charged with a criminal offence and is wanted by the governmental authorities of another country or is being sent home to the home country for trial/conviction. Prisoners shall be escorted at all times and remain under close physical supervision and custody of the escort(s). Prisoners may be under some form of physical restraint. The Commander and Purser are to be advised that the person in custody and their escort(s) are on board. Prisoners shall be seated discretely at the rear of the aeroplane, off the aisle, near a toilet and, if handcuffed, away from emergency exits.

Before DP (Depressurization Decision Point) follow the published procedure or turn back toward departure airport for as long as required to plan a diversion. - Before diverting ensure terrain clearance. - If departure airport is part of procedure you will have sufficient fuel to return. - If procedure uses a different airport you may not have sufficient fuel to return to departure airport. After DP (Depressurization Decision Point) follow the published procedure or OFP towards the destination while planning the diversion. - Before diverting ensure terrain clearance. - If the procedure has a nominated airport you will not have sufficient fuel to continue to destination, track as directed to the nominated airport. - If a different airport is required continue on the OFP. Plan the diversion, ensure terrain clearance, and ensure sufficient fuel is available.
DRIFTDOWN ( Engine Failure) -
Maintain the Flight Plan Route; Plan a Diversion; Ensure Terrain Clearance is adequate; Fuel to return to departure airport or continue to destination airport has not been assessed.
If No Driftdown Procedures Are Required , no driftdown diversion procedures appear in the Navigation Log. If an engine failure occurs, the flight planned track can be maintained as long as is required to plan a diversion. Before deviating from the flight planned track, crews must ensure that terrain clearance will be adequate during the diversion. As no procedures are provided, the fuel required to return to the origin, continue to the destination or divert to an en-route airport has not been assessed. If Driftdown Procedures Are Published follow the procedures as required.

Polar Operations
- Polar Operations are all flights conducted above 78 North Latitude. - Regulatory Authorities must give specific approval to operate in Polar Regions. This approval includes: A Recovery Plan (Plan to care for the passengers at airport and recover them within 48 hours) is required and is reviewed annually. The FAA requires operators to ensure anti-exposure suits are carried onboard. (Emirates has an Exemption) MELs are amended to include: Fuel quantity indicating system with temperature indication; APU with electrical and pneumatic supply for a 2 engine aircraft; auto throttle; communication systems; and an expanded medical kit with defibrillators. - Polar Routes are available on some routes (Canada to Asia) - Random tracks are required to flight plan as follows: North/South tracks are required to cross whole degrees of longitude every 5 of latitude. East/West tracks North of 70 are required to cross whole degrees of latitude every 20 of longitude. East/West tracks South of 70 are required to cross whole degrees of latitude every 10 of longitude. - Polar routes should be plotted on a polar orientation chart with emergency alternate airfields - Low atmospheric temperatures may cause operational difficulties with fuel freeze. Flights may be forced to remain at a lower altitude or take conventional southerly routes. For Polar operations with JET A, Flight Dispatch will determine whether a fuel freeze analysis should be requested to take advantage of a potential lower fuel freeze point. o Flight Dispatch will contact the fuel vendor and the vendor will perform the analysis and inform flight dispatch, Flight Dispatch will advise the crew via datalink while enroute. The Flight Crew will then insert values into the FMC as appropriate and conduct low fuel temperature procedures as per AOM. For 777 Polar Operations with JET A-1 fuel such analysis provide no concrete benefit since the specification limit of -47°C provides an adequate margin. For Polar Operations where JET A-1 is loaded, enter -43°C under MIN FUEL TEMP into the CDU PERF INIT page. Fuel temperature changes enroute will average 3C/hour but may be as high as 12C/hour in extreme cases. Flight Dispatch shall not plan you through areas of -65ºC or colder for more than 90 minutes. If fuel temp is too low FUEL TEMP LOW follow QRH procedures. A descent or climb may be appropriate depending on conditions. An increase in speed may assist… M0.01 increase will increase TAT between 0.5C and 0.7C. - If a diversion becomes likely, flight crew shall contact Flight Dispatch as soon as practicable and confirm with Flight Dispatch that the diversion alternate is suitable. In the event that the aircraft is unable to depart from the diversion alternate, the VNPC will activate the recovery plan. - If communication with NCC is not possible see OMA 8.3.2.4.2.7 for guidance. - Environmental conditions in the Polar Area can be extreme which may hamper ground and passenger handling and hinder flight operations together with limited facilities. Flight crew should therefore take into consideration the weather conditions, fuel/time available and the technical status of the aircraft and consider continuing the flight to an airport outside the Polar Area according to the prevalent situation. - The commander will ensure, if required the safe deplaning of the passengers and provide for their welfare and shelter until the recovery team becomes operational. - Emergency Alternate weather should be greater than landing weather for one hour before until one hour after earliest ETA. - SATCOM is unavailable above 82 North Latitude. Weather for required airports should be checked prior to crossing 82 North. - If HF Communications are unavailable the Control agencies may be reached via SATCOM. The number is in the LH Text RSI short code dialling. Canadian Domestic Airspace Northern Domestic Airspace - Considered to be an area of magnetic unreliability. All tracks, headings, and ATC clearances are referenced to True North. - Airbus Pilots should select TRUE, Boeing automatically switches to TRUE is LNAV if the primary roll mode. If using HEADING or TRACK manually switch to TRUE. - VOR stations orientated to True North will display correctly only when TRUE is selected.

Collision Avoidance RSI Africa R-80 If, on receipt of a traffic information broadcast from another aircraft, a pilot decides that immediate action is necessary to avoid an imminent collision risk to his aircraft, and this cannot be achieved with the right-of-way provisions, he should: a) unless an alternative maneuver appears more appropriate descend immediately 500ft; b) display all available aircraft lighting which would improve the visual detection of the aircraft; c) as soon as possible reply to the broadcast advising action being taken, d) notify the action taken on appropriate ATS frequency; e) as soon as situation has been rectified resume normal flight level, notifying the action on the appropriate ATS frequency. SLOP is promoted in AFI region. Operating Procedure RSI Africa R-80 - A listening watch should be maintained on the designated FREQ, 10 MIN before entering the designated airspace until leaving this airspace. - A broadcast should be clearly pronounced in English: a) 10 minutes before entering or crossing an FIR within IFBP region; b) For a pilot taking off from an aerodrome located within the IFBP region as soon as appropriate; c) 10 minutes prior to crossing or joining an ATS route, report crossing airway or waypoint. In the interest of reducing congestion on the IFBP frequency, pilots may exercise discretion to omit closely spaced repetitive IFBP reports; d) at not less than 20 minute intervals; e) before a change in flight level; f) at any other time considered necessary by the pilot. Position Reporting - A position report must be made on the next ATS frequency 15 MIN prior to leaving the airspace in which TIBA procedure apply.

Raw Data Monitoring Requirements
Overweight Landing Policy
01 March 2013 STUDY GUIDE
Limit / Policy - During localizer based approaches; LOC, LOC-BC, LDA, SDF, AND IGS, applicable raw data must be monitored throughout the approach. - During non-localizer based approaches where the FMC is used for course or path tracking (VOR, TACAN, NDB, RNAV, GPS etc.), monitoring of raw data is recommended, if available. Although continuous monitoring of raw data during approaches is not required, ground based navigation aid(s) should be checked for correct navigation no later than final approach. - Checking of raw data for correct navigation before commencing the approach may be accomplished by; pushing the POS switch on the EFIC control panel and comparing the displayed raw data with navaid symbols on the map. Example: The VOR radials and the RAW DME data should overlay the VOR/DME stations shown on the MAP and the GPS position symbol should nearly coincide with the tip of the airplane symbol (FMC position). displaying the VOR and ADF pointers on the map display and using them to verify your position relative to the map display. - Overweight landing can cause additional stress to the airframe and is, especially for the Boeing fleet, an undesirable event. Every effort should be made to land a Boeing 777 either at or below MLW. If this is inappropriate, flight crew should consider reducing the actual landing weight as much as possible to keep the MLW excedance to a minimum. Overweight Landing – Policy a. Up until the point of commencing the take-off, it is not permitted to plan to land at a weight which exceeds either the Maximum Structural Landing Weight (MLW) or Regulated Landing Weight (RLW). b. Prior to departure, the estimated landing weight should be calculated based on the actual take-off weight and the anticipated trip fuel burn. The RLW should be calculated based on the forecast conditions for the expected time of arrival. c. Flight Crew are required to monitor the estimated landing weight throughout the flight. If it becomes evident that the aircraft will land at a weight which exceeds either the MLW or RLW, appropriate action should be taken to reduce landing weight so that limiting weights are not exceeded. d. Appropriate actions to reduce estimated landing weight include: (the list is not to be read as an order of preference) i. To fly faster than ECON speed ii. To fly at lower than optimum flight levels iii. Early descent iv. Descent with speed brake v. Holding vi. Extended ATC track miles vii. Early Configuration e. In the event the above methods are not feasible to reduce the fuel amount to the required MLW or RLW, the use of Fuel Jettison may be evaluated with reference to the Non-Normal Checklist. Note: In absence of an emergency, prior Flight OPS Management permission is required before fuel jettison can be considered. f. It is permitted to land an aircraft exceeding the: i. MLW during Non-normal (Boeing)/Abnormal (Airbus) operations ii. MLW and/or RLW in an Emergency. g. If a landing is made at a weight in excess of MLW, an entry shall be made in the Technical Log, which includes the actual landing weight, - Performance issues should be considered: LANDING CLIMB LIMIT WEIGHT LANDING DISTANCE BRAKE ENERGY ENGINE INOP GO-AROUND CLIMB GRADIENT (if Engine is inop)

If a second approach is unsuccessful, the aircraft should divert to the alternate airport, or hold until the weather conditions improve sufficiently for a third approach, and the Commander deems that there is a high likelihood of a successful landing from that approach. If a third approach is unsuccessful, the aircraft shall divert to the alternate airfield. Prior to dispatch the max landing weight is calculated to meet: - The Engine Inoperative Climb Gradient requirement for the higher of: o 2.1% for a normal approach, o 2.5% for an approach to less than DH of 200’, o Published missed approach climb gradient. - The aircraft must not be dispatched with an expected landing weight which exceeds the calculated maximum landing weight, For the actual landing: - There is no requirement to use the runway which was the basis for dispatch. - All engines operating: o Follow the missed approach instructions. - One Engine inoperative: o If the missed approach gradient can be achieved follow the Missed approach procedure. o If the missed approach gradient cannot be achieved - Initiate the missed approach, track latterly to the departure end of the runway, and then track as per the corresponding procedure for the EFATO. - If in VMC and terrain/obstacle clearance can be maintained, a visual track can be flown. (the visual track must be briefed before commencing the approach) - Diversion. - Once decision is made, advise ATC the missed approach procedure will not be flown. - LH M/A Climb Gradients is not published unless it is above 2.5%. - This will be exceeded by almost all ALL ENGINE MISSED APPROACHES. - The missed approach acceleration altitude is defined as the missed approach altitude published on the Lido instrument approach chart. Should the State limits for acceleration altitude be lower than the missed approach altitude published on the Lido instrument approach chart, then this lower altitude will apply. Should the missed approach procedure have a level off segment prior to the published missed approach altitude being reached the commander may use his discretion to accelerate at this lower altitude providing any speed restriction published in the Lido charts are complied with.

Icing conditions exist when OAT (on the ground) or TAT (in-flight) is 10°C or below and any of the following exists: visible moisture (clouds, fog with visibility less than one statute mile (1600 m) or less, rain, snow, sleet, ice crystals, and so on) is present, or standing water, ice, slush or snow is present on the ramps, taxiways, or runways - Engine anti-ice must be selected ON immediately after both engines are started and remain on during all ground operations when icing conditions exist or are anticipated, except when the temperature is below –40°C OAT. When engine anti-ice is required and the OAT is 3°C or below, do an engine run up, as needed, to minimize ice build-up. Use the following procedure: CM1 Check that the area behind the airplane is clear. Run-up to a minimum of 50% N1 for approximately 1 second duration at intervals no greater than 60 minutes. A/T Engaged - VREF + 5 knots. - If a manual landing is planned with the autothrottle connected in gusty or high wind conditions, consider positioning the command speed to VREF + 10 knots. This helps protect against a sudden loss of airspeed during the flare. A/T Disengaged - VREF + ½ the headwind component + All of the Gust component to a maximum of 20 knots and a minimum of 5 knots. - Calculate HW as: - 50% Direct HW - 35% for 45°HW - Interpolate between - Runway edge and stop end lights are required for night operations. - Circling Approaches at night are not authorized.

Minimum width of cleared runway for operation on Contaminated Runways 30 Meters 45 Meters for A380 A First Officer may not conduct the landing if: - The approach is conducted is CAT II/III ILS. - The runway is contaminated. - The crosswind exceeds 20 knots. - The approach conducted was a CAT I ILS with autoland or CAT I GLS (GNSS LANDING SYSTEM) with autoland. - No landing at a CAT B* or a CAT C airport . - The Commander should conduct the landing in non-normal situations where the aircraft’s performance is affected. However, the captain may elect to delegate this duty to his first officer when, in his opinion and after thorough assessment of the situation, this is a safer option. During nomination as Commander training; a Training Captain may, at his discretion, allow the trainee to conduct an autoland and operate the aircraft to FCOM limits with respect to crosswind operations. - Not permitted to taxi if the parking guidance system requires the aircraft to be aligned and stopped with the eye position of the left hand seat.

Limit / Policy Be aware of adjusted phraseology… When the RWY in use is occupied by other traffic, a clearance may be given to another aircraft provided that the controller has reasonable assurance that following separation criteria will be met. SINGLE RUNWAY MODE PROCEDURE Landing Following Landing - The preceding aircraft has landed and has vacated the RWY, or has passed a point at least 2500m from the threshold of the RWY. Landing Following Departure - The preceding aircraft is/will be airborne, or has passed a point at least 2500m from the threshold of the RWY. Departure Following Departure - The preceding aircraft is airborne and has passed a point at least 2500m from the threshold of the RWY. DUAL DEPENDANT RUNWAY MODE PROCEDURE The procedures described in the previous section shall be applied in the same manner with the exception of Landing Following Departure. - A preceding departing aircraft must have passed abeam the upwind threshold of the landing runway, prior to the landing aircraft crossing the threshold of the landing runway. CONDITIONS FOR THE APPLICATION OF RRSM Tailwind < 5kts, Vis >5km - Ceiling not lower than 1,000” - Pilot of following aircraft warned - Runway is dry - Controller is able to assess separation - Wake turbulence separation is applied - Minimum separation continues to exist between 2 aircraft immediately after takeoff. - Overweight landing can cause additional stress to the airframe and is, especially for the Boeing fleet, an undesirable event. Every effort should be made to land a Boeing 777 either at or below MLW. If this is inappropriate, flight crew should consider reducing the actual landing weight as much as possible to keep the MLW exceedance to a minimum. Overweight Landing – Policy e. Up until the point of commencing the take-off, it is not permitted to plan to land at a weight which exceeds either the Maximum Structural Landing Weight (MLW) or Regulated Landing Weight (RLW). f. Prior to departure, the estimated landing weight should be calculated based on the actual take-off weight and the anticipated trip fuel burn. The RLW should be calculated based on the forecast conditions for the expected time of arrival. g. Flight Crew are required to monitor the estimated landing weight throughout the flight. If it becomes evident that the aircraft will land at a weight which exceeds either the MLW or RLW, appropriate action should be taken to reduce landing weight so that limiting weights are not exceeded. h. Appropriate actions to reduce estimated landing weight include: (the list is not to be read as an order of preference) viii. To fly faster than ECON speed ix. To fly at lower than optimum flight levels x. Early descent xi. Descent with speed brake xii. Holding xiii. Extended ATC track miles xiv. Early Configuration f. In the event the above methods are not feasible to reduce the fuel amount to the required MLW or RLW, the use of Fuel Jettison may be evaluated with reference to the Non-Normal Checklist. Note: In absence of an emergency, prior Flight OPS Management permission is required before fuel jettison can be considered. g. It is permitted to land an aircraft exceeding the: iii. MLW during Non-normal (Boeing)/Abnormal (Airbus) operations iv. MLW and/or RLW in an Emergency. h. If a landing is made at a weight in excess of MLW, an entry shall be made in the Technical Log, which includes the actual landing weight, - Performance issues should be considered: LANDING CLIMB LIMIT WEIGHT LANDING DISTANCE BRAKE ENERGY ENGINE INOP GO-AROUND CLIMB GRADIENT (if Engine is inop)

Touchdowns with sink rates of 360 to 420 feet per minute, while less comfortable are often mistakenly called “Hard landings”. - A “Hard Landing” is defined as a landing with a sink rate of 600 feet per minute or higher, and must be reported in the aircraft Technical Log as a “Hard Landing”. And reported on an ASR in accordance with the procedures detailed in OMA Section 11. - During certification, FAA regulations require the demonstration of landings at maximum certified landing weight. - If flight crews suspect that a hard landing has occurred, ensure that the following are carried out: o raise an ASR o make a Tech Log entry o advise MCC and/or local engineer o ensure timely follow up action is initiated before leaving the aircraft.arnold - On occasion, Engineering may receive an automated downlink from the aircraft after a landing that is indicative of a hard landing. The Commander is the only person who determines if the landing was indeed “Hard” as defined above. The “Hard Landing” entry the tech log will be the instruction for an engineering inspection to be carried out.

ENGINE OUT TAXI – TWO ENGINE AIRCRAFT Engine out taxi after landing on a 2 engine aircraft is recommended for fuel conservation. Prior to shutting down an engine during after landing consideration should be given to the following: - APU operation. - For operational environments such as uphill slope, soft asphalt, high gross weights, congested ramp areas, specific airfield restrictions, and wet/slippery ramps and taxiways, single engine taxi is not recommended. - If possible, make minimum radius turns in a direction that puts the operating engine on the outside of the turn. - Avoid thrust levels in excess of 40% N1. If greater thrust is required and personnel, equipment or structures are close to the aircraft consider restarting the second engine
Single Engine Taxi After Landing
P A R K I N G
- Be prepared for a slow acceleration. When taxiing on a single engine it may take more than twice as long for the aircraft to accelerate to a comparable taxi speed than when taxing on two engines. Therefore allow time for airplane response before increasing thrust. - When a thrust level of 40% N1 is clearly insufficient to get the aircraft moving, consider re-starting the second engine. Re-starting an engine will typically take less than 30 seconds and will not count as an engine cycle as long as 40% N1 is not exceeded. - Give due consideration to personnel and equipment near the aircraft that may be affected by the air blast associated with increased thrust levels. - Engine cooldown recommendations: [RR Engines] • Run the engines for at least 1 minute. • Use a thrust setting no higher than that normally used for all engine taxi operations. [GE Engines] • Run the engines for at least 3 minutes. • Use a thrust setting normally used for taxi operations. - Engine out taxi following an overweight landing is not recommended due to higher thrust settings required. However, if the aircraft has landed overweight with one engine inoperative it may be safe to taxi to a suitable parking position, due to consideration of all the factors listed above.

Flight crews should be aware of the potential for a T/R inner wall failure on the 777/Rolls-Royce engine installation. Flight crews should be particularly aware of fuel management during the event flight given the potential increased fuel consumption resulting from the T/R failure. If a T/R failure is suspected or confirmed, do not operate the T/R during the subsequent landing. If a T/R inner wall failure is confirmed, Boeing recommends landing at the nearest suitable airport. - Flight crews should follow normal procedures guidance for stowing reversers after landing to prevent possible T/R damage. Engines should be allowed to fully decelerate to reverse idle prior to moving the reverse thrust levers away from the reverse idle detent. By 60-knots, start movement of the reverse thrust levers to reach the reverse idle detent before taxi speed. After the engines are at reverse idle, move the reverse thrust levers full down. - When Commanding thrust reverser stowage, move the reverse thrust levers from the reverse idle detent (interlocks) to the stowed (full-down) position only after the engines have decelerated to reverse idle. Commanding reverser stowage while the engines are still decelerating from reverse thrust power may damage the thrust reverser structure. o After an RTO is performed where the thrust reversers were deployed, maintenance must determine if an inspection of thrust reversers is necessary.

EKIB-49
Notes Flight in Ice Crystals has resulted in engine power loss and engine damage. o Recognize weather conducive to ice crystal formation Ice crystals are most frequently found in areas of visible moisture above altitudes normally associated with icing conditions. They are indicated by one or more of the following: • Rain on the windscreen at temperatures too cold for liquid water to exist, due to ice crystals melting on the heated windows. • Aircraft TAT remains near 0 degrees C. • Areas of light to moderate turbulence. • No significant radar returns at aircraft altitude. • Heavy rain below the aircraft, identified by amber and red on weather radar. • Cloud tops reaching above typical cruise levels (above the tropopause). Note: There is no significant airframe icing. The icing conditions detection system (if installed) is not designed to detect ice crystal icing, only super cooled droplets. o Avoid ice crystal icing conditions During flight in IMC, avoid flying directly above significant amber or red radar returns, even with no returns at aircraft altitude. Use the weather radar manual tilt and gain functions to assess weather radar reflectivity below the aircraft flight path. o Ice crystal icing suspected Exit ice crystal icing conditions. Request a route change to minimize time above red and amber radar returns. o This bulletin provides crews with guidance in response to volcanic ash encounters.

o This bulletin advises flight crew of the differences between Manual and AUTO mode operations. It also provides technique for operating in MultiScan WXR o To restore the aft galley power and crew rest ventilation, follow the steps below: a) The overhead crew rest alarm must be silenced in order for the AIRFLOW / SMOKE RESET switch to be operative. The HORN SHUT OFF switch, in the common area control panel in the crew rest, can be used to silence the alarm. b) On the main control panel that is located inside the entrance enclosure at Door 5 upper crew rest area, push and hold the AIRFLOW / SMOKE RESET switch (guarded switch) for 2 seconds. This resets the airflow to the area and resets the aft galley electrical power. c) A false lavatory alarm can be silenced by pressing the Attendant Call Reset (Horn Cancel) switch, located on top of the lavatory door. o The ability of the detectors to sense smoke is not affected before or after a false alarm, and the status indicator light should return to “green”. Removal and replacement of a false alarming detector with a “green” status indicator light is not recommended at this time, as this action is not believed to solve this problem. A smoke detector with a “blinking red” status indicator light implies a fault, and should be replaced. o To provide increased flight crew awareness of the Upset Recovery non-normal maneuver and the requirement to disconnect automation as the first step. o RUNWAY POS EICAS Advisory - As soon as the aircraft is moved and the line of sight to a sufficient number of GPS satellites is achieved, this message should no longer be displayed. No Flight Crew action is required. o RUNWAY SYS EICAS Advisory / RUNWAY SYS Status - If occurring on the ground prior to take-off or on final approach this message Indicates that the Smart Runway and Smart Landing advisories are not available to the flight crew. If occurring during flight then Engineering will need to contact Honeywell to ensure that the over-flown Airport/Runway is included in the next version of TDB or is to be added as soon as possible. No Flight Crew action is required other than an information entry to the Tech Log. The entry should include the Airport/Location and the statement “Advise Honeywell.”

After Engine Start, flight crews should check that the generator OFF lights on the electrical panel are not illuminated. If they are on, maintenance action is required. A condition has been identified where VHF datalink function can be lost on the primary VHF Data Radio (VDR). When this condition occurs, the primary VDR latches into voice mode and DATA cannot be transferred from the STANDBY window to the ACTIVE window of the primary VDR tuning panel. If this occurs perform datalink operations normally using SATCOM instead of VHF. This requires no pilot action because the DCMF will automatically use SATCOM as a backup air/ground medium as long as it is available. Alternately, it is possible to perform a VHF datalink with the secondary VDR. This requires the following flight crew actions to switch to the alternate DCMF… See EAD-87R1 Should an uncommanded turn occur when using LNAV, select HDG SEL to follow the flight plan, then perform a DIRECT TO to the waypoint that had prematurely sequenced. Reengage LNAV as desired. Ensure that the Fuel Uplift Check (Gross Error Check) as per OM-A is performed correctly and within stated (5% but not more than 2000 kg more/1000 kg less than calculated) tolerances. If the FUEL IMBALANCE EICAS advisory message occurs in flight, check fuel quantity readings to determine if the fuel quantity is fluctuating, or if a true imbalance or fuel leak exists. New Photoelectric smoke detectors have been producing erroneous smoke detections during power transfers. If a smoke alarm is triggered crew is to follow normal procedures for smoke detection. If no smoke source is present and the alarm occurred immediately after a power transfer, consider the alar a nuisance occurrence. Consult the appropriate information in the Flight Attendant Manual or FCOM to reset the crew rest smoke detector function, which will also restore aft galley power and crew rest ventilation. The EICAS message SMOKE BBAND UPR DR2 may display even when no Connexion LRU’s are installed on the airplane. This is a nuisance message. No flight crew action is required. When required to cruise at an altitude below optimum due to air traffic, atmospheric conditions, or nonnormal procedures, and no further step climbs are planned, set the STEP (L4) size to zero on the ACT ECON CRZ page. This ensures best available FMC FUEL and ETA predictions.

In Absence of an Emergency, prior Flight Ops Management permission is required before fuel jettison can be considered. Ensure adequate weather minimums exist at airport of intended landing. Fuel jettison above 4,000 feet AGL ensures complete fuel evaporation. Downwind drift of fuel may exceed 1 nm per 1,000 feet of drop. Avoid jettisoning fuel in a holding pattern with other aircraft below. Jettison Rates: - Center Tank Fuel 2,500 kgs/min. - No Center Tank Fuel 1,400 kgs/min. - Note the time to jettison the fuel synoptic page. - Jettison Time Rule of Thumb 2/3 of Jettison Fuel = time in minutes At least 10.4 tons will remain in main tanks after jettison is complete due to stand pipes in the tanks. Use the Unannunciated Checklist "Fuel Jettison". OMDB Fuel Jettison: Controllers Recommendation Over the Sea if possible, or above 6,000 QNH If above is not possible fuel may be jettisoned above 4,000 QNH… To jettison below this level the situation must be unavoidable. A vertical separation of at least 1000’between aircraft should be maintained above the jettisoning aircraft. If operationally unavoidable aircraft may cross below the jettisoning aircraft if 3000’seperation is provided. It is OK to run the FUEL IMBALANCE checklist at the same time as the FUEL JETTISON checklist. The 2 systems are independent of each other.

On Subsequent flights on the same day with the same crew it may be abbreviated with the comment “Standard Reject Briefing, V1 __kts”
This will be a LEFT/RIGHT seat take-off. If any malfunction occurs before V1 I will call STOP or GO. If the call is STOP, I will immediately and simultaneously close the thrust levers, disconnect the autothrottles, apply maximum manual braking (or observe operation or RTO autobrakes), and apply maximum reverse thrust. Once the aircraft has stopped on the runway I will set the parking brake, PA “THIS IS THE CAPTAIN, ATTENTION CREW AT STATIONS”, together we will assess the problem and I will call for the appropriate MEMORY ITEMS or CHECKLIST. I will verify thrust levers are closed, autothrottles are disengaged, and maximum braking. Call “AUTOBRAKES” if displayed on the EICAS, verify speedbrake lever up and call “SPEEDBRAKE UP”, or “NO SPEEDBRAKE” as appropriate. I will verify reverse thrust applied call “REVERSERS NORMAL / NO REVERSER L/R / NO REVERSERS”, call “60 KNOTS”. Then inform ATC and carry out any required actions. If an evacuation is required I will call “EVACUATION CHECKLIST”. If no evacuation is required I will check the DOORS page to ensure no doors are open, Use the CAMERA page to assess the aircraft. If appropriate PA “THIS IS THE CAPTAIN, CABIN CREW REVERT TO NORMAL OPERATIONS”. Request ATC Clearance and taxi clear of the runway. After Clearing the Runway check the GEAR page for brake temperatures and tire pressures.

‐ The 777-200LR and 777F have a floor below which VREF or V2 will not be reduced. The VREF floor is 137 kts and is already incorporated into existing FCOM/QRH manuals and FMC/OPT software and is hence transparent to crews. ‐ This has led to a situation where for a flaps 30 landing below 220 tons on the 777F the approach speed will no longer be reduced below this floor, even during a ferry flight when to actual landing weight might be closer to 150 tons(The OPT will not even calculate results for landings below 154,211kg.). For the same weight the approach speed based only on the conventional 30% cushion over the stall warning speed (VREF=1.3Vs) would have been closer to 117 kt. ‐ This results in 2 problems: - Low pitch attitudes on landing raise concerns the nose landing gear first touchdown can occur. ‐ The airplane will now have a pronounced tendency to float. ‐ Selecting Flaps 25 for landing at low weights would increase the pitch attitude during approach and flare by 1˚, and reduce tendency to float ‐ The lowest landing weight for which speeds are published is 154,211 kgs. Dispatch will plan flight plans using necessary ballast or additional fuel in order to ensure flights arrive at departure at or above this weight.

The MAIN DECK CAGRO TEMP controls the temperature from 4-27 degrees. The 777F has recently experienced several failures of the # 3 Main Deck Shutoff Valves, in the air distribution system, with corresponding delays. There are six Main Deck Shutoff Valve's installed on the 777F. These valves are commanded closed during a Class E fire event. There are four valves installed in the #1 and #2 positions and are open during normal operations. The Forward #3 and Aft #3 valves close when the Main Deck Flow Selector is set to NORMAL and the valves open when the Main Deck Flow Selector is set to HIGH. All six Main Deck Shutoff Valves are commanded to full open after landing as part of an automated BITE check. The valve manufacturer is currently developing a fix for the failures, but until that time, Boeing recommends operating with the Main Deck Flow Selector set to HIGH flow to allow the #3 Main Deck Shutoff Valves to operate the same as the other four shutoff valves. The fuel burn penalty is 0.1% to 0.2% and is reflected in the OFP.

Independent Simultaneous Parallel ILS Approaches have a minimum separation between runway centerlines of 4300 feet. Dependent Parallel ILS Approaches have a minimum separation between runway centerlines of 2500 feet, staggered approaches are required, diagonal radar separation is maintained. ILS PRM Approaches are designed for closely separated runways at YSSY and some US Airports. - Minimum Separation between runway centerlines is: o 1,500m in Australia o Less than 4,300ft but greater than 3,000ft in the USA - Training requirements are: ASA Video FAA Video Familiarization with PRM approach Procedures Company Training Familiarization with Breakout Procedures and Phraseology. Pass an Exam - ATIS will broadcast when PRM approaches are in use. - If unable to fly a PRM approach you must advise ATC: o by 120 DME from Sydney Airport, or if departing from within 120 DME of Sydney on first contact with ATC. o by a distance specified on the LH AOI Arrival page. - When ATIS advises that ILS PRM approaches are in use Pilots should brief for the PRM approach: o Brief using the “PRM Briefing page on the LH AOI Arrival Page and the “ILS PRM Chart”. o Ensure VHF Radios are set up Left Radio to ATC Transmit and Receive, Right Radio to PRM freq Receive only and volumes set equally.(Select the monitor freq. when instructed to contact Tower) o If PRM approaches are cancelled the approach may be continued after briefing o new minimums, o the monitor frequency is no longer required.
- If an Aircraft will penetrate the NTZ: o An Advisory Broadcast will be issue. o An Instruction to turn will be issued. - If an Aircraft penetrates the NTZ: o A BREAKOUT ALERT will be issued. “BREAKOUT ALERT EK418 TURN LEFT/RIGHT IMMEDIATELY HEADING ___ CLIMB/DESCEND AND MAINTAIN ___ ALTITUDE” o A TRAFFIC ALERT will be issued. “TRAFFIC ALERT EK203 TURN LEFT/RIGHT IMMEDIATELY HEADING ___ CLIMB/DESCEND AND MAINTAIN ___ ALTITUDE” - Breakouts maneuvers must be hand flown. (The Pilot must establish a 3º/sec turn within 8 seconds). - Descending Breakouts can be given if no other options are available. (Rate of descent expected will not exceed 1,000fpm) - USE of TCAS on PRM Approaches: o When in contact with tower TA or TA/RA may be selected. During a missed approach or breakout TA/RA should be reselected. o TA/RA should be selected. During a breakout ATC turn instructions should be followed and TCAS Climb/Descent instructions are controlling. o If while complying with a breakout you receive a TCAS/RA. You should comply with the turn portion of the breakout but follow the climb/descent portion of the RA. o Breakout Procedure:

(Simultaneous Offset Instrument Approaches)
01 March 2013 STUDY GUIDE
or LDA/PRM
SOIA refer to simultaneous PRM approaches to a set of parallel runways using a straight-in ILS approach to one runway and an offset localizer-type directional aid (LDA) with a glide slope instrument approach to the other runway. The LDA cannot be offset more than 3 from a parallel track. The ILS approach is normally flown to ILS minimums and the LDA approach is flown to minimums which allow visual maneuvering to the final approach course.
The SIOA No Transgression Zone Ends at the LDA Missed Approach Point. SOIA approaches are identical to PRM approaches until the LDA Missed Approach Point. At this point visual separation between aircraft on adjacent courses must be applied. A visual segment between the LDA MAP and the Runway is required and is displayed on the approach chart. At the LDA MAP aircraft will transition to align with the runway centerline and be stabilized by 500 feet AGL. Pilots should remain on the LDA course until passing the LDA MAP prior to maneuvering to align with the runway centerline. This will ensure the LDA aircraft will not penetrate the NTZ while trying to align with the runway. During SOIA Operations aircraft will be sequenced so that the ILS aircraft will be ahead of the LDA aircraft prior to the LDA MAP. Ceilings for the LDA approach is established so the LDA aircraft will have approximately :30 seconds to visually acquire the ILS aircraft prior to reaching the LDA MAP. If visual acquisition of the ILS aircraft is not made a missed approach must be made. To continue the approach beyond the LDA MAP the LDA aircraft must call “TRAFFIC IN SIGHT”, ensure that the runway is in sight and must keep both in sight for the remainder of the approach. ATC is not required to acknowledge the “TRAFFIC IN SIGHT” call. Past the LDA MAP pilots of the LDA aircraft are responsible for their own visual separation and wake turbulence from the ILS aircraft. ATC should be notified as soon as practical if visual contact with the ILS aircraft is lost. A Go-around should be flown unless otherwise instructed by ATC.

VNAV APPROACHES The most operationally suitable approach shall be planned in accordance with OMA 8.3.18.3 . The lowest applicable charted approach minimum is the value to be entered into aircraft systems, for all approach types
OMA 8.3.0.8.7 .
RNAV Approaches requiring Authorization (AR or SAAAR) RNAV (RNP) is an RNP-AR approach If an RNP-AR approach chart is contained in the Emirates Lido approach chart database, on board your particular fleet, then the Emirates aircraft is approved for RNP-AR by the state regulator. FCN 2012-042
RNAV Approaches Without Special Qualification RNAV (GPS) and RNAV (GNSS) An approach ‘other than ILS’ (for example RNAV, VOR, NDB) published without ‘VNAV’ notation in the Lido plate minima box (but instead has ‘LNAV’ published in the plate minima box), can still be flown in VNAV/Managed Vertical modes. The absence of ‘VNAV’ in the minima box in this case refers to approach design criteria, not the actual aircraft FMS vertical mode used to fly the approach. FCN 2012-042
RNAV Visual Flight Procedures RVFP
OMA 8.3.2.4.3 FCOM NP.21.54
- An RVFP is not an Instrument Procedure and must only be flown when wx conditions meet certain minimums indicated on the RNAV Visual approach chart. - Pilots are responsible for separation from other aircraft during RVFP - RVFP must be line selectable form the FMS database. - RVFP should be requested on initial contact “REQUEST RNAV VISUAL RWY 29”… - RVFP procedures have no defined minima. In lieu of an MDA enter an altitude of not less than 300 feet AAL. When no DA or MDA is published for a RNAV visual approach, the autopilot shall latest be disconnected at or above 300 feet AAL.

Airbus: A difference of ± 0.10°, between the charted vertical profile and the FMS database value is acceptable (e.g. charted vertical path 3.00°, maximum MCDU displayed values 2.90° to 3.10°). ii. Boeing: A difference of -0.01° and +0.10°, between the charted vertical profile and the FMS database value is acceptable (e.g. charted vertical path 3.00°, maximum CDU displayed values 2.99° to 3.10°). 7. No other limitation exists that would invalidate the approach. FCOM NP Appendix 5 d. Prior to briefing for an approach other than ILS/LOC/GLS, the crew shall enter the appropriate RNP value into the FMS. If an RNP value is not published on the approach chart, the crew shall enter an RNP value of 0.3. Some special ILS approaches may have an RNP requirement. e. For VOR or NDB approaches, if ground based navaids are inoperative or on test, or if the aircraft equipment is not installed or is inoperative, the approach may still be flown. The requirements to conduct the approach are the same as for an RNAV approach. Note 1 For RNP-AR approaches, the requirements of paragraphs a. b. c. and d. shall be met. Note 2 If any of the preceding conditions cannot be met then LNAV/Managed lateral and Selected vertical, or Selected lateral and Selected vertical, guidance modes shall be used in accordance with FCOM procedures. f. The use of autopilot shall be in accordance with the policy defined in OMA 8.3.18 . (A/T is mandatory unless U/S, A/P is mandatory above 10,000 unless U/S) g. Any apparent coding error or approach anomaly shall be reported on the FMS Navigation Database Report. Contained within the Flight Documentation Folder. Indicate on the VR that the report has been made. h. Flight crew must be aware of the effects of ISA deviation on the descent angle. If the temperature is lower or higher than the VNAV temperature limitation, the crew may continue use of the VNAV flight Guidance function but only to the published LNAV minimums, unless the aircraft is equipped with compensated Baro-VNAV functionality. i. For any approach not in the navigation database, basic autopilot lateral and vertical modes should be used. j. On determining that Cold Weather altitude corrections are required, CM1 and CM2 will: FCOM NP.80.1 1. Independently calculate and agree on the altitude corrections and new heights for the approach. 2. The PF will enter the agreed data into the FMS which must be cross checked by the PM before executing the entry. 3. Both pilots shall make an independent approach validation check against the approach chart after the data entry to ensure that all hard altitude constraints are complied with. 4.

LH Text LAT 530
- Navigation solution must include GPS, i.e. GPS Symbol displayed on ND. EKIB 33R4 - Flight Director and / or Autopilot in VNAV mode must be used. EKIB 33R4 - The PF must enter/verify the RNP on the PROG page / POS REF page. If an RNP value is not published on the approach chart, it is Emirates policy to enter/verify a value of 0.3nm. EKIB 33R4 - The published MDA shall be used as the DA. The lowest applicable charted approach minimum is the value to be entered into aircraft systems, for all approach types. There is no requirement to add 50ft to a published MDA. OMA 8.3.0.8.7 - VNAV Guidance must be used for operations to DA. Selected vertical guidance must not be used. EKIB 33R4 - A current altimeter setting for the landing airport is mandatory. Crew must confirm in the Landing phase that the correct QNH is inserted into main aircraft altimeters. EKIB 33R4 - If the temperature on a given day is lower than the VNAV temperature limitation, the crew may continue use of the barometric VNAV function but only to published LNAV MDA minimums. EKIB 33R4 - Lateral or Vertical modifications to any approach utilizing the FMC for navigation is prohibited, unless cold temperature or displaced threshold adjustments are required. Cold temperature or displaced threshold adjustments are not permitted for RNP-AR approaches. EKIB 33R4 - Use of barometric VNAV to a DA is not authorized with a remote altimeter setting. Where remote altimeter minima are shown, the VNAV function may be used but only to the published MDA. EKIB 33R4 - The crew should be knowledgeable of failures and mode reversions, which adversely impact the aircraft’s ability to conduct VNAV approach operations. In addition, pilots/crew should be aware of contingency actions, i.e., reverting to LNAV MDA, following Vertical mode failures. EKIB 33R4

Cold Weather Operations ICING CONDITIONS - Icing Conditions exist when TAT is 10°C or below and visible moisture is present (less than 1600 meters visibility) or standing water, ice or snow is present on the ramps, taxiways or runways. FCOM SP.16.5 - Aircraft will not be dispatched until the flight crew and a qualified de-icing person are satisfied the critical surfaces are clean. OMA 8.2.4.5 CAUTION: Flight Crew and Qualified Persons must be aware that even with ambient temperatures up to +15 degrees C, ice or frost can form on a wing that contains cold-soaked fuel. In precipitation on the ground, clear icing - which can be very difficult to observe – may occur on top of the wing. A tactile (by touch) inspection may be required. OMA 8.2.4.7 - No Aircraft may be knowingly dispatched with an inoperative APU to an airport where de-icing may be required unless engine ground start facilities are available. OMA 8.2.4.1 - The decision to de-ice may be made by a Qualified Person or by the flight crew; however, once the decision to de-ice has been made, it cannot be over-ridden by the other party. OMA 8.2.4.5
DE-ICING RESTRICTIONS - T/O is not permitted in: OMA 8.2.4.1 FCI 2011-029 Moderate or Heavy Freezing Rain. Heavy Ice Pellets. Any frozen contaminate adhering to an of the aircraft critical surfaces. Continuous Heavy Snow. Hail. - A thin coating of frost up to 3mm (1/8") thick is permissible on wing lower surfaces only in an area cold soaked by fuel between the forward and aft spars. OMA 8.2.4.5 - Thin hoarfrost is permitted on the fuselage OMA 8.2.4.5 . - Thin enough to distinguish surface features underneath, such as paint lines, markings or lettering FCOM SP.16.4 .
REMOVAL OF LOCAL AREA CONTAMINATION - Where no precipitation is falling or expected a “REMOVAL OF LOCAL AREA CONTAMINATION” de-icing may be carried out under OMA 8.2.4.8.3 - Both sides of the airplane must be treated identically with a heated fluid suitable for a One Step Procedure. - Flights may be dispatched when the Commander and the Qualified Person are confident that the snow is light, dry, is not adhering to any of the critical surface and will blow off during taxi or the immediate start of the take-off roll. If it is available, dry unheated air will be used to remove dry, light snow. The aircraft will be de-iced if there are any doubts about whether the snow is adhering to any portion of the critical surfaces. OMA 8.2.4.5
SPECIAL ICING CONDITIONS - Light Freezing Rain is permitted
OMA 8.2.4.1
- Occasional Heavy Snow is permitted. OMA 8.2.4.1 - Operations during occasional heavy snow conditions require a PCI to be conducted immediately prior to take-off to ensure that contamination is not adhering to the critical surfaces. - This inspection is required irrespective of the time that has elapsed since anti-icing occurred. Such an inspection can only be carried out when the applicable moderate snow holdover time is a minimum of :20 minutes. - There must be at least :05 minutes of moderate snow holdover time remaining after the inspection has been accomplished. The take-off needs to be initiated within :05 minutes of completion of the PCI. - Further delay after the PCI must result in a return for de-icing/anti-icing. During variable snow conditions, the most conservative holdover table cell time should be utilized, that is, the lowest time. - Snow Grains (SG) are permitted. PELESYS COLD WEATHER briefing - SG are very small white and opaque particles of ice that do not bounce or shatter on hard surfaces. Treat snow grains as snow for holdover time purposes. Note: Snow is considered dry when the OAT is well below freezing with a large dew point spread and cannot be compacted into a snowball. Dry snow falling on a cold soaked aircraft is not likely to adhere to critical surfaces. -

Cold Weather Operations Continued DE-ICING COMMUNICATION - Prior to de-icing communication with Crew and Passengers is mandatory. - Cabin Crew during Pre-flight and Passengers prior to Engine Start.
OMA 8.2.4.4 OMA 8.2.4.4
- Engine-on de-icing is only permitted at designated stations. See OM-C Aerodrome specific information or LH Station CCI pages
OMA 8.2.4.6
- A qualified Engineer will do the Secondary Inspection CSI after de-icing is complete. OMA 8.2.4.5 - The contractor must signal to the Commander the following message or instruction: “All equipment is clear of the aircraft. You may contact ground or apron control” OMA 8.2.4.6 - Tech Log Entry is required if the aircraft is de-iced. OMA 8.2.4.12
HOLD OVER TIMES - Hold over times are located on the De/Anti-Icing Worksheets from aircraft library or OMA-Appendix M . - Type I fluid and other specific Branded Fluid guidelines are located in OMA Appendix K . - The Captain is authorized to use the more conservative generic Type II or IV table whenever a Brand Specific Type II or IV fluid not identified in the OMC is utilized. De/Anti-Icing Worksheet
PCI Pre-Takeoff Contamination Inspection - If precipitation has occurred at any time since the final fluid layer was applied to the aircraft, a PCI is mandatory once the shortest time in the applicable holdover time table cell is exceeded. OMA 8.2.4.7 - A PCI can only be used to extend holdover time when using Type II, III or IV anti-icing fluids and then, only when the applicable minimum holdover time equals or exceeds 20 minutes. A PCI must not be applied to extend holdover time when using Type I fluids for anti-icing as these have very short holdover time values and fluid failure occurs suddenly. OMA 8.2.4.7 Company NOTAM CO126/13 - When the time that has elapsed since the beginning of holdover time is greater than the maximum holdover time for the conditions present and covered in the applicable holdover time table cell, the PCI must be conducted from outside the aircraft. When a Pre-Take-off Contamination Inspection (PCI) is required to be conducted from outside the aircraft by a Qualified Person, this will normally be carried out by the de-icing service provider’s personnel. When the Commander anticipates that an external PCI is required (e.g. short holdover time), this should be coordinated as early as practicable with the de-icing service provider, in coordination with Emirates station staff. OMA 8.2.4.7 - When a PCI is required it must be performed immediately (within five minutes of brake release) prior to take-off. OMA 8.2.4.7 - If Cabin Crew or Passengers express concern a PCI must be completed. OMA 8.2.4.4.1 - The most accurate PCI is conducted from the exterior of the aircraft by a qualified person… It is permitted from the aircraft cabin provided adequate lighting is present which allows the representative surface to be clearly visible and any evidence of fluid failure can be accurately determined. OMA 8.2.4.7 - The Representative Surface is used for determination of the condition of the remainder of the Critical Surfaces. It is the inner portion of the wing from the root, outward to the innermost engine pylon. The representative surface includes the entire chord length, i.e. from the leading to the trailing edge OMA 8.2.4.8.2 CAUTION: When assessing the representative surface, flight crew must consider which side was treated first, and also the prevailing wind/weather conditions when they are such that contamination is more likely to form on one side of the aircraft than on the other.
DE-ICING FLUID FAILURE - Anti-ice fluids are considered to have “failed” and to have lost their effectiveness when they become diluted with falling precipitation to the point where a build-up of contaminant becomes visible in the fluid. The fluid begins to appear opaque rather than transparent and the inability to discern structural details through the fluid becomes apparent. There is a distinct loss of shine or gloss on the surface of the fluid. Fluid failure is particularly difficult to detect in the case of freezing precipitation as there is usually only a reduction in shine or gloss on the surface. OMA 8.2.4.9 - Under no circumstances shall an aircraft that has been anti-iced receive a further coating of anti-icing fluid directly on top of the existing film. If additional anti-icing treatment is required before flight, a complete de-icing, with removal of all residues from the previous treatment, shall be performed prior to any further anti-icing treatment being applied.

Engine Anti-ice must be ON during all ground operations if icing conditions exist or are anticipated except when OAT is below -40°C. Engine Anti-ice must be ON or AUTO during flight when icing conditions exist or are anticipated (OAT is 10°C and below in visible moisture). Do not use ENGINE ANTI-ICE when OAT is above 10°C. GROUND RUN-UP REQUIREMENTS: FCOM SP.16.6 When engine anti-ice is required and the OAT is 3°C or below, do an engine run up, as needed, to minimize ice build-up. Use the following procedure: CM1 - Check that the area behind the airplane is clear. - Run-up to a minimum of 50% N1 for approximately 1 second duration at intervals no greater than 60 minutes. (inclusive of Taxi In time in icing conditions) - BEFORE TAKE-OFF PROCEDURE: FCOM SP.16.7 RR ENGINES (Engine Oil Temperature Minimum of 50°C) when engine anti-ice is required and the OAT is 3°C or below take-offs require a static run-up to a minimum of 50% N1 and stable engine operation checked prior to start of the take-off roll. FCOM SP.16.8 GE ENGINES when engine anti-ice is required and the OAT is 3°C or below take-offs require a static run-up to a as high a thrust setting as practical and stable engine operation checked prior to start of the take-off roll. FCOM SP.16.8 - FREEZING FOG REQUIREMENTS: EAD 60R2 RR ENGINES operation in Freezing Fog: □ If takeoff can be achieved within :45 minutes total taxi time, use the existing procedure, accomplish a static run-up to a minimum of 50% N1 and stable engine operation checked prior to start of the take-off roll. □ If Take-off can not be achieved within :45 minutes accomplish the core ice procedure within the :45 minutes total taxi time. - If OAT is 0°C-6°C run the engine to 50%N1 for :60 seconds every 45 minutes. - If the OAT is -7°C to -13°C run-up the engine to 59% N1 for :60 seconds every :45 minutes. - If the OAT is -13 or below there is no effective procedure and manual de-icing is required. - Take-off is not permitted if total taxi time in freezing fog with visibility of 300 meters or less exceeds :60 minutes without the core ice procedure being completed. The engine core must be manually deiced. - If the take-off cannot be completed within :60 minutes total taxi time in fog a log book entry is required and a borescope inspection will be required within 10 flights.

FCOM 11.20.15
Normal Weather Radar No Multi Scan
FCOM EKIB-50
Multi Scan Weather Radar
RADAR Theory: - Bottom third of cloud is composed entirely of water an most efficiently reflects radar energy. - Middle Third is composed of a combination of water and ice crystals. Reflectivity in this part of the storm begins to diminish. - Top third of the storm is composed entirely of ice crystals and is almost invisible to RADAR. - Conventional Radars can only look at one part of the storm at a time… The Multi Scan Radar is able to scan all parts and combine their images on one screen to provide a more complete picture.
RADAR The Ideal Beam: - The Ideal Radar Beam would look directly below the aircraft, then follow the curvature of the earth out to the aircrafts maximum range… - As this is not possible Collins has created the MultiScan emulates an ideal radar beam by taking information from different radar scans and merging the information into a total weather picture. Rockwell Collins’ patented ground clutter suppression algorithms are then used to eliminate ground clutter. - The result is the ability for flight crews to view all significant weather from 0 to 320 NM on a single display that is essentially clutter free.
RADAR Functionality: - GAIN Control: - During automatic operation, MultiScan uses variable gain that is based on atmospheric temperature profiles to compensate for variations in geographic location, time of day, and altitude in order to optimize weather returns in all phases of flight. - Gain is thus adjusted to suit the environment in which the aircraft is flying and provide the optimum weather picture in the prevailing conditions. - Gain is held constant below the freezing level. - As the aircraft ascends through the freezing level and the temperature decreases below 0° C, gain is increased. - When temperatures fall below -40° C cloud tops are composed entirely of ice crystals and exhibit minimal reflectivity. Variable temperature based gain increases the gain by approximately one color level in this region to provide more accurate high altitude weather returns. - During automatic operation rotating the gain knob counterclockwise decreases receiver sensitivity. MIN gain is selected when the gain knob is rotated fully counterclockwise and represents an approximately one and a half color level decrease in the color of the displayed weather. Consequently, red returns may be displayed as yellow or green, yellow returns will be displayed as green or disappear entirely, and green returns will no longer be displayed. - Note that if a thunderstorm remains red when MIN gain is selected it indicates a storm exhibiting extreme reflectivity and is potentially a substantial threat to the aircraft. However, the radar should only be operated at the MIN gain position for short periods of time to help identify thunderstorm cores and areas of extreme reflectivity. The gain control should then be returned to the calibrated position. With gain set to MIN it is possible that a thunderstorm that just crosses the red colour threshold will be displayed as green. Using MIN gain exclusively thus increases the possibility of inadvertent thunderstorm penetration.

01 March 2013 STUDY GUIDE
- GROUND CLUTTER SUPPRESSION: - Because MultiScan can examine the weather in front of the aircraft using multiple tilt settings and because the radar is able to look down into the ground clutter to pick out significant weather, MultiScan is able to display all the weather from 0 – 320 NM that will affect the aircraft on a single, essentially clutter-free display. And the whole process is entirely automatic, freeing the flight crew to concentrate on weather avoidance rather than weather detection and interpretation. - EKIB 35R1: If excessive ground returns occur in AUTO mode, deselect weather RADAR on both EFIS control panels for more than one second. Reselect weather radar as needed. Excessive ground returns will be removed within :30 seconds. - OVERFLIGHT PROTECTION: - Over flight protection is designed to prevent thunderstorms that are in the aircraft flight path from falling below the radar beam and off the radar display during high altitude cruise. - At extended ranges the upper radar beam scans the wet, reflective portion of a thunderstorm in the same manner that conventional radars scan weather today. As the aircraft approaches the storm and the cell begins to fall below the upper radar beam, MultiScan utilizes 6,000 feet of bottom beam information to keep the reflective part of the storm in view. Within approximately 15 NM of the aircraft MultiScan compares the stored digital image of the thunderstorm with the latest sweep information and displays whichever return is greater. If a cell that is a threat to the aircraft begins to fall below the radar beam MultiScan displays the stored digital image of the storm, thus ensuring that any threat thunderstorm will remain on the display until it moves behind the aircraft. Thunderstorm tops within 5,000 feet of the airplane remain on the radar display until it no longer poses a danger. Over flight protection is operational above 22,000 feet MSL. - MULTI SCAN INITIALISATION: - When automatic is initially selected, the radar will first make a sweep that looks along the aircraft’s flight path. This ensures that weather directly in front of the aircraft will be immediately visible to the flight crew. - The second sweep will be at a relatively low tilt angle. Significant ground clutter may be visible. The ground clutter suppression algorithms begin to have affect during the second sweep of the antenna and will be fully initialized by the beginning of the fifth sweep (16 seconds). - When the initialization process is complete, the flight crew will receive an optimized weather picture with minimal ground clutter for any range scale selected. - In addition, Over Flight protection will be fully engaged to prevent thunderstorms that are a threat to the aircraft from falling below the radar beam. - MultiScan has a “coast” feature that allows the pilot to momentarily switch to manual, then back to automatic. If the pilot switches from auto to manual, then returns to auto within :38 seconds, the radar will remember the automatic settings and will not need to re-initialize. - OPTIMIZED WEATHER DISPLAY: - Because MultiScan emulates an ideal radar beam, the entire weather picture from 0-320 NM is stored in computer memory. - Furthermore, since ground clutter is eliminated with computer algorithms there is no need to compromise between a tilt angle that eliminates ground clutter and a tilt angle that gives the best weather picture. - The pilot simply selects the desired range scale and that portion of the optimum weather presentation is displayed on the weather radar display. - TILT: - During automatic operation on both Airbus and Boeing aircraft, the tilt displayed on the EFIS represents an average of the lower and upper beam tilts. - For instance, during take off the lower and upper beams are 4° apart. The lower beam is set to 3°, the upper beam is set to 7° and the displayed tilt is 5°. - As the aircraft climbs the difference between the beams decreases. At 10,000 feet AGL and higher, the difference between the upper and lower beams is approximately 2°. - On EFIS display systems that indicate TILT as a whole number, there may be a difference in the TILT value between the Captain and First Officer NAV DISPLAY due to rounding in the display system. - TURBULENCE MODE: - Turbulence displays as MAGENTA and is only displayed out to 40nm. Radar determines turbulent areas by measuring precipitation velocity, it can only function in the presence of precipitation. Consequently, the system is not capable of detecting clear-air turbulence. - MAP MODE: - When operating in automatic, MAP mode enables display of all radar echoes including terrain and weather information. - The receiver sensitivity is decreased by approximately 10 dB (one color level) to accommodate terrain characteristics instead of weather. - This mode enables identification of terrain features such as mountains, coastlines, bodies of water etc. No turbulence information is displayed. - PAC Alert is not active in MAP mode. - PATH ATTENUATION COMPENSATION (PAC) ALERT: - If intervening rain fall creates an attenuated area, sometimes known as a radar shadow, PAC Alert places a yellow arc on the outer most range scale to warn the pilot of the attenuated condition. PAC Alert is operative whenever the radar is being operated in CAL gain and the aircraft is within 80 NM of a thunderstorm. - WARNING: NEVER FLY INTO A RADAR SHADOW! - CAUTION: PAC Alert is disabled for all non-CAL settings. - PAC Alert is activated during both automatic and manual radar operation.

TAKE-OFF PRECAUTIONS -
FCOM SP.16.18
Use Max Take-off Thrust is recommended unless the use of reduced thrust is required to meet a dispatch performance requirement.. (RTOW CHART USER MANUAL 1-10) Use Flap 20 or 15. Use Longest Runway. Use the FD after Take-off. Consider increasing VR to MTOW VR (not above VR+20).
APPROACH PRECAUTIONS -
Use Flap 25 or 30. FCOM SP.16.18 Stabilize Approach early, use the most suitable runway. If Autothrottle is disengaged apply wind correction factors to a maximum of 20 knots.
SIM NOTE If you see or hear a thunderstorm treat it as a possible windshear condition. OMA 11.3.2
File an ASR when a go-around (below 1000ft) or windshear go around is flown.

QFE Operations FCOM SP.10.1
Emirates are not currently using this procedure at any airports. The preferred method is to set QNH when descending through the Transition Level and convert QFE Levels to QNH altitudes using the airport specific conversion chart, or conversion info on the Approach Chart.
OM-C, Route Manual, Chapter 1 Beijing C-04
Rule of Thumb How to convert QFE to QNH (Airport Altitude in feet/100) + QFEmb = QNHmb Pelesys Polar Operations
(Airport Altitude in Meters/30) + QFEmb = QNHmb

SPECIAL AIRSPACE EXPLAINED North Atlantic MNPS NAT - Oceanic Clearance is required to operate in NAT MNPS Airspace. - Oceanic Control Areas (CTAs) include Reykjavik, Shanwick, Gander, Santa Maria, and New York. Between FL 285 and FL420. - To Operate in NAT MNPS airspace aircraft must be able to maintain a high degree of Lateral, Longitudinal, and Vertical accuracy. Aircraft and Flight Crew must be certified by State of Registry or State of the Operator. This is indicated by an X for NAT MNPS and a W for RVSM in item 10 of the ICAO Flight Plan. Equipment Required is detailed in FCOM SP21 (RVSM)and FCOM SP22 (NAT MNPS) - Separation on the NAT MNPS is: - Laterally 60nm or one degree of latitude. (Minimum RNP is 12.6) - Longitudinal separation is :10 minutes when using Mach number technique. - Vertical separation is 1,000 feet for RSVM aircraft. (Crews and aircraft must be certified for RVSM) - Separate Organized Tracks are optimized for Direction of flight based on forecast winds aloft. - Eastbound Tracks V,W,X,Y, and Z are created by Gander Oceanic and are valid for crossing 30 degrees west between 0100z and 0800z. - Westbound Tracks A,B,C,D,and E are created by Shanwick Oceanic and are valid for crossing 30 degrees west between 1130z and 1900z - The use of the OTS is not mandatory.
Canadian MNPS CMNPS - CMNPS airspace is between FL330 and FL410. - ICAO Flight Plan Item 10 Y indicates certification for CMNPS, X is certified within both boundaries. - Min Longitudinal separation is :15 minutes, can be reduced to :10 if Mach Number Technique is used.
Polar Track System PTS - The Polar Track Structure consists of 10 fixed tracks in Reykjavik and associated extensions in the Bodo Oceanic airspace. These routes are not mandatory; however, it is recommended that operations between FL310 and FL390 use the PTS tracks.
Arctic Control Area ACA - The Arctic Control Area Track Structure is 5 fixed tracks which complement the Polar Track Structure in Reykjavik. - These Tracks are not mandatory; however, when used, Air Traffic controllers are able to make more efficient use of the airspace win optimum flight level and separation minima’s. - These ACA Tracks are identified by letters O,P,Q,R, and S. An example would be ACAQ or ACAS.
Northern OTS NOR OTS - The Northern Organized Track System (NOR OTS) was created to allow the optimal use of tracks for aircraft operating westbound between Europe and Western America (not including Alaska). - NOR OTS tracks will be published at 21:30UTC(summer) and 22:30 UTC (winter) in the form of a Track Definition Message (TDM).
Australian OTS AUS OTS - AUSOTS is the trial Australian Organized Track System setup to utilize Flex Tracks for aircraft operating between WSSS and Australian Airports YSBN, YBBN, and YMML. - AUSOTS will be available for aircraft meeting RNP 10 requirements. - A TCM will be issued by Air Services Australia for review by selected airlines to determine the appropriateness of the FIR Boundary Entry/Exit fix in regard to flight outside Australian airspace.
Atlantic Ocean Random Routing RNAV Area AORRA -
The AORRA includes the airspace between FL290 and FL 410 inclusive in the region shown. RNP10 is required in AORRA airspace. ADS/CPDLC will be used as primary communication and HF as backup. Flights shall enter and exit via AORRA approved gates.

2. No auto pilot disconnect limit height on ILS with Land 2/3 What is the autopilot disconnect limit when on an ILS coupled approach, with Land 2/3 annunciated but manually landing? Background: FCOM gives no limitation for a manual landing from an ILS approach. Answer:
Although there is no hard limit prudent airmanship and the ability to gain a “touch and feel” for the aircraft suggest disconnecting the autopilot before entering the landing flare phase to ensure a safe landing. Consider that autopilot alignment during strong crosswinds is likely to differ from pilot technique and that the autopilot will commence an initial alignment at 500 feet AGL

3. Flap 25 Landings May I land using Flap 25? Background: For normal landings, when conditions permit, use flaps 30 to minimize landing speed and landing distance. Flaps 25 provide better noise abatement and reduced flap wear. Aft body clearance is approximately the same for either flap setting. Answer:
Flight Operations department and the Boeing Fleet Management follow the manufacturer‟s recommendation and thus promote Flaps 30 landings. The emphasis here is on safety. However, should Flap 25 be deemed the more appropriate selection for landing, the crew shall take into account the higher approach speed and additional landing distance required.

4. High Speed Taxiway runway vacate speed At what speed may I exit when vacating the runway via a HIGH SPEED TAXIWAY? Background: The high speed taxiway is designed to expedite aircraft turning off the runway after landing, thus reducing runway occupancy time. Answer:
A „HST” is a long radius taxiway designed and provided with lighting or marking to define the path of aircraft, travelling at high speed (up to 60 knots), from the runway centre to a point on the centre of a taxiway. Also referred to as long radius exit, turn-off taxiway, (also Rapid Exit Taxiway). Note: It is recommended not to use the tiller above 30kts and caution above 20kts.

7. Interruption of NNC upon reaching “land at nearest suitable airport” Should Non-Normal check list completion be delayed in order to ascertain which airport to land at? Background: Some NNC's contain the step ' Land at the Nearest Suitable Airport'. Answer:
No. In the majority of cases this is not the time to stop the checklist in order to determine which airport to land at. Instead, this checklist step should be acknowledged by the PF and the process of determining the nearest suitable airport should take place once all the NNC's have been accomplished and the EICAS messages have been reviewed.

8. Responsibility for Radio Calls during Non-Normal situations. Who is responsible for radio calls during non-normal situations? Background: It is not Boeing philosophy for the PF to take charge of the R/T communications when Non-Normal checklists are in use. The PM is responsible for communications during both normal and non-normal situations. Answer:
PM; however, the Commander may use his discretion if he determines it appropriate, to assign the radio calls to the PF.

9. Selection of Non Normal Checklists What primary reference is used to guide the appropriate selection of non-normal checklists? Background: With regards to EICAS, the PF calls for Non-Normal checklists to be accomplished by looking at the EICAS alert messages with a rectangle icon [] as these checklists have procedural steps, notes, or other information of which the flight crew should be aware. EICAS alert messages without rectangle icons are informational and unless CONSEQUENTIAL should be actioned to read the condition statement. Answer:
The primary means to identify and select NNC is from EICAS. When calling for NNC‟s to be accomplished, the EICAS and the icon [] associated with the EICAS alert messages should be used and not the Non Normal Checklist queue. The EICAS and observed faults (e.g. bird strike) are the principle means of recognizing if a Non normal situation exists. Generally checklists are called for in the order of checklists for which memory items were accomplished, followed by warning level alert messages, then caution and then advisory level alert messages. The PM is responsible for checklist reading and tasks asked for by the PF. When the PF calls for a checklist to be accomplished, the PM selects the appropriate NNC from the NNC queue. The PM then overrides any remaining latched NNC‟s in the checklist queue. These NNC‟s need not be accomplished since they do not have a corresponding EICAS message and icon. They are consequential messages. When all the Icons have been removed from the EICAS (checklists with icons all completed), the PF calls for an EICAS review - do not press CANC/RECALL button, just read the EICAS. The displayed EICAS messages shall be reviewed and then cancelled. There is no requirement to recall all previously displayed EICAS messages

11. Sighting of the Steering bypass pin When does the flight crew signal to the engineer that they have sighted the steering bypass pin? Background: On the Boeing there has developed a procedure whereby the F/O will bring to the Captains attention the Engineer holding the Steering Bypass pin, as soon as he sees him, and as the Captain is still doing the flight control check. This inevitably leads to unnecessary discussion about when to release the engineer and also leads to an interruption of observation of the flight control check. Sometimes it leads to the F/O releasing the engineer without any input from the Captain. Answer:
According to Boeing NP the engineer is dismissed prior to Flaps selection. There is no requirement to sight the pin. Emirates FOM states that pin sighting is required prior to taxi. This should not interfere with SOP but can be achieved when appropriate. Flight Control check can be done whilst the pin is being sighted since there is no Flight Control observation needed. Both pilots should sight the pin and the engineer is to be released with the commander‟s permission.

Background: While it is not acceptable to use more optimistic than officially reported ambient conditions for actual takeoff calculations, crews are allowed to make small allowances (e.g. increase temperature by up to two degrees and/or decrease pressure by up to 1 hPa/0.03 in Hq) if it is likely that prevailing conditions during takeoff will be more limiting than current reported ones.

14. OFP Taxi Fuel Do I have to use the taxi fuel figure shown on the OFP? Background: OFP taxi fuel figures are based on statistical data. When the expected taxi route or time suggest that a higher, or lower figure may be more appropriate, crews are expected to make the required adjustments to the taxi fuel figure to ensure that they do not take off above the maximum RTOW, or unnecessarily start depleting their contingency fuel before takeoff. (The FOM does however make provision to allow the use of contingency fuel from the time the fuel bowser has been disconnected.) Crews should ensure that the maximum structural weight is not exceeded if additional taxi fuel is required. This may result in the requirement to reduce the limited Take-Off weight. Answer:
NO

15. Unused Taxi Fuel Is it acceptable to “buffer” the Actual Take-Off Weight used in the takeoff calculations to account for possible unused taxi fuel? Background: On occasion it may be difficult to accurately assess the expected taxi time or route. In this case it is acceptable to use a slightly higher takeoff weight than shown on the loadsheets to account for the fact that some of the planned taxi fuel may not have been consumed prior to takeoff. It is vital however that any agreed adjustment is done prior to the performance data entry into the OPT / EFB and subsequent calculation which are to be done independently. Answer:
Yes

16. Topping up Contingency Fuel on DP Flight Plans Is it good practice to “top-up” DP flight plan Contingency Fuel (CONT) to a normal Contingency Fuel level if the ZFW changes to allow so? Answer:
That depends.
Background: On routes were our statistical data indicate that we consistently arrive with most of the CONT fuel intact, the Company may choose to adopt DP flight plans in order to reduce aircraft weight en route and thus reduce fuel consumption. In this case it is not recommended to increase the CONT to a higher (3%, 5% or 20 minute CONT) level. - There are occasions however when we are forced to resort to DP flight plans in order to protect payload. Not using a DP plan would force us to leave non-revenue passengers, freight, passenger baggage, or even full-fare passengers behind. In such case, if the final ZFW should allow us to carry more fuel, it is recommended to increase CONT up to a normal level. This level would be the lower of a) 3% CONT, or b) the equivalent of 20 minutes CONT. As the flight has been dispatched as DP flight, there is no requirement to increase CONT to a 5% level as the DP ERA also satisfies the requirements of a 3% CONT ERA. Route Fuel Statistics attached to every LIDO Briefing package will give you a good indication which sort of CONT would be appropriate. If statistics indicate that on average only an irrelevant amount of CONT is used and hardly any flights ever use more than 50% of CONT, then increasing CONT to a higher level should not be necessary. As always, the commander should exercise good judgment and consider all relevant factors when deciding on the final fuel load.
17. Flight Beyond DP below MIN DP Fuel If I arrive at the DP with less than MIN DP FUEL, am I legally obliged to divert? Answer:
Not necessarily.
Background: You may apply provisions of the In-flight Fuel Management to DP flight plans. As per FOM 11.3.3. it is permissible to continue towards your destination even if a fuel check should reveal that there will be less than Alternate and Final Reserve remaining at destination as long as the conditions of either one of two In-Flight Fuel Management scenarios are met. As the first scenario requires an Estimated Approach Time (EAT), which may be difficult to obtain at this stage, the more likely second scenario (max delay not known and EAT not received yet) provides to the following two options: - You must be able to reach a minimum of two airports at which in the judgment of the commander "landing is assured" with at least Final Reserve remaining at touchdown. - If you can reach within two hours a single airport with at least two separate and independent runways that otherwise satisfies above requirements and you take any additional fuel burn due to likely ATC delays into consideration, then this single airport may be considered equivalent to two airports.

18. Idle Reverse and Single Engine Taxi If you only use idle reverse on landing can you disregard the 3 min / 1 min cool down period on the engines in order to commence Single Engine taxi sooner? Answer:
No
Background: This question was asked of Airbus / Boeing / GE when the SE taxi policy came into place back in 2008. Boeing and Airbus replied that it is GE/RR that required this cool down period. The response from GE was that even though idle reverse on landing is used, you still need to comply with the 3 min cool down period on the engines. Idle reverse on landing does not have a considerable cooling effect on the core engine and therefore the cool down period only starts when the aircraft is on ground with the engines in ground idle. Not complying with this may result in costly repairs due to oil coking and fuel nozzle degradation. Reference:

19. Conducting a PCI on the Freighter How do we carry out a PCI on the freighter? Answer:
The freighter has three 5 inch windows, two forward and one aft of the wing on the right side. 1 full side window on the left side aft of the wing. When the aircraft is fully loaded there is approximately 15 inches down each sidewall, which will probably limit most pilots from performing a PCI check. If the commander is in doubt about the condition of the airplane after the HOT has expired a return to stand and 2nd de-icing must be accomplished. A standard PCI may be accomplished if a partial load permits or the aircraft is empty.

20. Applying Performance Limited Weight Restriction from a MEL item How do I apply a Performance Limited Weight restriction from an MEL item? Background: We have had several instances when crews incorrectly and unnecessarily applied MEL weight penalties that reduced available payload and limited Company revenue potential. Answer:
Remember; the OPT is the only accepted means for calculating takeoff and landing performance. OPT permits users to enter inoperative MEL items and will calculate takeoff and landing performance for such conditions. As always; if OPT should calculate a performance limited weight that is above the structural maximum weight, OPT will display the structural maximum weight in such case. Both the MEL and CDL will list performance weight penalties when applicable. Keep in mind that such performance penalties apply to performance limited weights and not structural maximum gross weights. This is often indicated in the MEL specific operations procedure (denoted by an "O" symbol) by wording such as "Reduce the Performance Limited Weight (PLW) by…" (e.g. MEL 36-11-05) or "Observe the appropriate performance adjustments." (e.g. MEL 27-61-03). Only in a few cases maximum gross weight will have to be reduced as a result of an MEL item. This is typically indicated by text such as "Observe Maximum Gross Weight limits" (e.g. MEL 2711-03-02). OPT will also steer you clear of some of the traps in the MEL text, which may appear confusing and difficult to interpret on occasion. Here one example: Consider an inoperative Spoiler Power Control Unit (PCU) addressed in MEL 27-61-03 If the airplane in question is a Passenger aircraft, MEL 27-61-03-01 applies, which only mentions performance adjustments (e.g. 4990 kgs) that need to be applied. If the airplane in question is a 777 Freighter, MEL 27-61-03-02 applies, which mentions performance adjustments (e.g. 4990 kgs) and reduced maximum gross weight limits (326,722 kgs instead of 347,451 kgs). If you use OPT and select MEL 26-61-03, you will be automatically offered with the correct applicable MEL and the MEL that applies to any other 777 variant will be suppressed. OPT will even consider when both performance and gross weights are affected and compute the lower of the (MEL) performance limited weight or (MEL) reduced maximum gross weight. In summary: OPT calculations will display the lower of a) performance limited weight and b) certified maximum gross weight. OPT is only acceptable means to calculate takeoff/landing performance even with inoperative MEL items. The term "performance limited" in the MEL may serve as an indicator that you are faced with a penalty that needs to be applied to performance limited weights. Conversely, the term "reduced maximum gross weight" may serve as an indication that this MEL penalty reduces structural weight(s). But in each case, you are expected to let OPT do this calculation for you.

21. Rotate calls during Increased VR rotations When applying the increased VR rotation technique in the event of possible windshear when do I call “Rotate”? Answer:
Currently there is no SOP stipulating when to make the Rotate Call when applying the increased VR technique. When applying this technique, crew should be aware that there is a possibility for different expectations and should therefore brief and agree on appropriate calls prior to take off.

22. Flap settings for increased VR rotation technique When applying the increased VR rotation technique in the event of possible windshear which flap setting should I use when calculating the Performance Limit Weight in order to find the Max VR”? Background: Observations during simulator exercises have highlighted that some crews use optimum flaps, while others force the flap setting to either 15 or 20 when calculating the performance limited weight figures. Boeing was approach for a definitive response. Answer:
Unless performance is limited by obstacle clearance and/or climb gradient, select flaps 20 for takeoff. Flaps 15 too may be used as a precautionary setting and will provide nearly equivalent performance to flaps 20. The Vr calculation should be based on the actual flap setting selected for the takeoff. Also, just to be clear, the Vr for the actual gross weight must also be known such that a check can be made to ensure that the Vr for the performance limited gross weight does not exceed the Vr for the actual gross weight by more than 20 knots. If the Vr for the performance limited weight exceeds the Vr for the actual weight by more than 20 knots, then the recommended Vr in windshear conditions would be the Vr for the actual weight plus 20 knots.
23. Single Auto-throttle Cat 3B approaches If we loose either L or R auto throttle can we carry out a CAT 3B approach by manually matching the associated thrust lever to the thrust lever that is being controlled by the working auto throttle server? Answer:

24. OFP Shear Rate values Does Shear rate (SR) on the OFP indicate when to expect turbulence? Answer:
No. The numeric value of Shear Rate represents the change of wind speed per 1000 ft. High values of Shear Rate imply the possibility of turbulence, but do not directly represent it. Shear Rate can be a useful tool when selecting more efficient cruising levels and also may serve as one possible indicator of turbulence. Other factors such as predicted turbulence or convective areas on Significant Weather charts, or proximity to Jet Streams are needed to further validate suspected turbulence. Shear Rate alone, without any other supporting indicator, will not give you a valid representation of expected turbulence.

25. Disconnection of Autopilot during Non-ILS Approaches When should I disconnect the autopilot for a Non-ILS approach? Background: Recent developments in the SAAAR approval process required a clarification as to when the autopilot should be disconnected on SAAAR/ AR approaches. As we also have been authorized to use a DA in lieu of a MDA on Non-ILS approaches, the question of the latest disconnect altitude on such approaches has arisen. Answer:
Unless a go-around has been initiated, the autopilot must be disconnected latest during an approach at the DA (if a DA is used) or at the minimum of 200 AAL (if a MDA is used.)

26. Engaging roll modes below 400’ on Engine Out Procedures May I engage a roll mode below 400‟ during an EOP? Answer:
Yes
Background on Roll Modes below 400’: The current phase 5 PPC has highlighted a misunderstanding with regards to engaging roll modes below 400‟ during Engine out Procedures. Examples include LIMC RWY 35 where the SID requires an immediate turn, whilst the EOP is straight ahead and; Dubai RWY 30R where in a heavy aircraft we may need to commence the EOP left turn prior to reaching 400‟. In a technical notice from Boeing they clarify the procedure described in FCTM pg 3.33 as follows “If the crew wants to fly straight ahead following an engine failure on takeoff without an engine out SID available they should select HDG SEL or TRK SEL below 400' AGL if necessary due to the emergency situation”. This complies with the statement in the FCTM “If ground track is not consistent with the desired flight path, use HDG SEL/TRK SEL/LNAV to achieve the desired track”. Ultimately the EOP safety cone and terrain clearance is the priority and pilots should make every attempt to regain the centreline of the prescribed EOP track until above a safe altitude. For these reasons crews need to take a practical approach and brief each take off with consideration for the various implications and options available. Examples include pressing the TOGA switches below 400‟ which could either assist or constrain as below: - disarm LNAV/VNAV modes and hence would prevent the LNAV engagement and subsequent turn onto the SID in the case of LIMC and as such assist the straight ahead EOP. Conversely - inhibit the ability to engage HDG/TRK below 400‟ if the Engine failure occurred after the turn had commenced, or in the case of Dubai inhibit the ability to make the turn until 400‟ unless reverting to manual flight, (In this case pushing the thrust levers forward rather than pressing TOGA may be more suitable).
27. T/O Bump with an unserviceable APU May I use the Take-off bump procedure when the APU is unserviceable? Answer:
Yes Take Off Bump 1. Whenever more thrust is needed, attempt to use the APU-to-Pack procedure BEFORE using the T/O Bump procedure. T/O Bump increases heat and thus wear and tear on the engines; therefore APU-to-Pack reduces bleed load from the engines, which then can be used to increase thrust, without increasing wear on the engines. 2. Hence: Use the APU-to-Pack option first, if that is insufficient, THEN use T/O Bump. Be aware that as far as the FMC set-up is concerned, T/O Bump will need to be selected on the FMC before the APU-to-Pack option. 3. The APU-to-Pack option is naturally not available when the APU is inop. In that case it is permissible to use T/O Bump without the APU-to-Pack option whilst applying the procedure on S.P.7.8 (the two paragraphs following T/O Bump). 4. If the APU is not available, crews should disregard all the later comments and instructions that refer solely to the APU. (In case of an inop APU, there is nothing written that would preclude a combination of Thrust Bump and a Packs Off Takeoff as described in S.P.2.1)

28. Level Off above 10,000’ – Cabin Altitude checklist How do I apply the step “when at level off” from the Cabin Alt checklist if I am restricted to an altitude above 10,000‟? Cabin Altitude Checklist over the Himalayas A question was received in regards to the Northern Himalaya route and a potential level off at an intermediate altitude of 28000 FT (for approximately 30 NM either side of waypoint GT30). For performance reasons, this is NOT a route that we operate the older -200/-200ER/-300 on. As the -200/-200ER/-300's are the only airplanes where AIMS 14 has not been released and incorporated (and where thus additional steps could be required when at level off), this becomes a highly hypothetical question and the debate whether to open the valves at FL280, or not, has insignificant bearing on our daily operations. This is the scenario that we would need: 1. We fly a -200/-200ER/-300 over the Northern Himalaya route (which we normally don't) 2. Then we have a depressurisation right over GT30 that forces us to level off at FL280 (for approx 30 miles) on either side of GT30. 3. Then we would establish that the cabin is not controllable (which means that the cabin altitude is rising and will eventually meet the airplane altitude). 4. Next we would establish that none of the packs is working as the Pack L+R message is blank and both PACKS OFF lights are illuminated. 5. And then the checklist would tell us to open the outflow valves as we have determined in a previous step that the cabin is uncontrollable and will rise to 28,000 anyway. Frankly, if one had to level off at FL280, we would hope that the cabin would stabilize somewhere below the mask dropping altitude and then we would wait with the controllable/not controllable decision until we have a clear indication. Boeing's response indicates that once the masks are dropped and hence the cabin has been deemed uncontrollable they have no objections for the crew to “follow the remainder of the procedure”. If both packs fail simultaneously and we have no additional leakage in the pressurized area, one would expect a cabin climb rate with both outflow valves fully closed (to maintain cabin altitude) of around 700 FPM, which should give some more time with the decision. Of course, this would not cover the case where both packs stop working just as we pass GT30 and at the same time a gaping hole opens in the fuselage. It is doubtful that Boeing ever considered this scenario. In regard to a level-off at 15,000 FT, such as over Iran/ Turkey or other high elevation areas it appears to be Boeings intention that the crew could go ahead on pre-AIMS B.P.14 with the checklist as described and open the outflow valve if PACK L+R message are blank and both PACH OFF lights illuminate. For all other conditions, and all AIMS B.P.14 airplanes, the procedure ends with the level off.

29. OPT Temperature Correction for EO Acceleration Altitude Does the OPT correct for cold temperature for take-off Engine Out Acceleration altitude? Answer:
Yes. Recent recurrent training has raised the question regarding the OPT‟s correction for Cold Temperatures of the Engine Out Acceleration altitude when doing the take-off performance calculation.
Background: The setup of OPT via the administrator tool allows for the selection of inputting the airline's POLICY minimum acceleration height and the OUTPUT minimum acceleration height for a given calculation in terms of either geometric or pressure height. Depending on the administrator's selection, both will be either geometric, or both will be pressure. Currently they cannot be mixed. Most OPT users, but not all, choose pressure height for this selection because that is what the crew will see on their altimeter displays. The selection chosen by Emirates is also 'pressure'. Obstacle heights, from the airport database, are always assumed to be input in terms of geometric height because the aircraft must clear these geometric heights by the required minimum margins. An example was used for LIMC which resulted in the following. When OPT did its calculations for airport LIMC, the acceleration height was limited by obstacle clearance considerations, not the minimum policy height of 1000 FT AGL pressure height. The output acceleration heights, in terms of pressure height, were therefore adjusted to be different for the 15 deg. C day relative to the -15 deg. C day to provide the same geometric height required for obstacle clearance. The adjusted pressure heights in both cases were greater than the 1000 FT policy minimum, and therefore the values of 1140 FT and 1280 FT were displayed. When OPT did its calculations for airport LIRF, the minimum acceleration height was limited by the policy minimum height of 1000 FT AGL pressure height. This height was greater than the minimum heights required for obstacle clearance considerations. Since the policy minimum level off height was already in terms of pressure height it did not change in the displayed output for 15 deg. relative to -15 deg. C; it is 1000 FT AGL in both cases. However, in the behind-the-scenes calculations of OPT (not displayed), the geometric heights at which the aircraft leveled off did indeed change to match whatever geometric heights corresponded to the 1000 FT AGL pressure height. This is because, for example, on a hot day the geometric height to which the aircraft would need to climb to reach a pressure height of 1000 FT AGL is greater than on a cold day. If OPT had been set up in the administrator tool to use geometric height for policy minimum height and output minimum heights, the output acceleration height would not have changed with temperature for either the LIMC runs where the minimum height was obstacle-limited or for the LIRF runs where it was limited by the policy minimum acceleration height. Most airlines don't choose this selection because it would not provide the crew with the required pressure height to clear all obstacles when the minimum height is based on obstacle considerations. It seems that most airlines choose the policy minimum height, and ouput minimum height, in terms of pressure height above AGL because it does not matter if the geometric height is higher or lower than the policy minimum in terms of pressure height. Obstacle clearance considerations will still be in place to protect against terrain/obstacle clearance issues (because these are always input in terms of geometric).
30. Calculated vs. Totalizer Fuel – OFP recording At each waypoint crew record the fuel figures on their OFP. But there are different opinions which fuel figure should be used. Some state that the Fuel Totalizer figure should be used while others state that the Calculated Fuel on the FMS should be used due to better accuracy? Answer:
Calculated tends to be more accurate
Background response from Boeing: When comparing CALCULATED versus TOTALIZER fuel quantities, neither one is considered to be inherently more accurate than the other; especially when considering all various possible scenarios. That is, depending on the given situation it is possible one could be more accurate, while the other is more accurate in a different situation. This is one of the reasons for including checks between the values provided by the two sources of information. Boeing 'FLEET TEAM Digest' number 777-FTD-28-09005 provides information stating that the FQIS (which feeds the TOTALIZER values) has an maximum error of +/- 1% with full tanks, improving to +/- 0.5% of full scale readings for a near empty tank in both level flight and ground operations. The fuel flow transmitters, on the other hand, have a stated error of less than 0.5% during cruise conditions. Also page 11.42.48 of the FCOM notes minimum accuracies that can be assumed for both the TOTALIZER and the CALCULATED quantities. Having said the above, it is Boeing‟s general opinion (but not specifically documented because as stated above, on the 777 neither is inherently more accurate at all times) that if one value had to be selected over the other, the CALCULATED values may have a tendency to be somewhat more accurate more often than the TOTALIZER values. This assumes no failures in either system and of course no fuel leaks which, for example, would not be picked up by the CALCULATED values if the leak is upstream of the fuel flow meters. The CALCULATED values, driven by fuel flow measurements, are also the primary drivers for things such as calculation of FMC gross weight and the fuel remaining values shown on Progress Page 1.

31. Applicability of temperature corrections to RNAV approaches with published temperature limits Some RNAV approach charts e.g. JFK have temperature deviation limits published on the charts. Are cold temperature corrections still applicable? Answer:
No. Charts that publish temperature deviation limits are certified between the chart temperatures and therefore terrain clearance is achieved and no temperature correction is required.
32. DARD 180 degree Turn allowance on Northern Himalaya routes Does DARD consider the wider 180 degree turn radius over the Himalayas? Answer:
Yes. From a procedure design point of view, for the Northern Himalayan routes only, we have assessed the terrain clearance to the wider width of 10.4 nm rather than 5 nm to allow for the possibility of the turn and altitudes close to the terrain elevation.

Performance Engineering
33. BRIEFINGS: There is no requirement for either crewmember to refer to the CDU legs page whilst briefing.
34. STANDARD CALLS: During approach the auto callout at 1,000ft should be acknowledged by the PF with the response of “check”. Additionally the standard call “missed approach altitude set” is also required. For brevity it is acceptable to give one call of “check” after the missed approach altitude standard call as long as the crewmembers concerned are aware that they are responding to two different callouts.
35. STANDARD CALLS: To confirm in flight CDU changes the pilot making changes should ask confirm” and the other pilot should state “execute” when he agrees with the change.
36. AWARNESS CALLS: At any time a crew member may give awareness calls in the interest of maintaining good situational awareness and flight safety.
37. THRUST LEVERS: During takeoff the CM2, when PF, should remove his hand from the thrust levers after the takeoff decision is made and the TOGA switches activated, without delay.
38. THRUST LEVERS: It is recommended that thrust levers be guarded: During takeoff.................................................. From “Positive Climb” or after the autothrottle HOLD mode has disengaged. During other phases of flight ........................... During significant thrust lever movement, and on approach.
39. DELAYED FLAP APPROACH:
FCTM 5.13 OMA 8.3.0.8.5.1
Delayed final flap selection on ILS and VNAV Non-ILS approaches is an approved technique. Company Flap selection and stabilization requirements must be met.
40. EICAS ALERT MESSAGE MANAGEMENT: An EICAS alert message associated with a checklist should be left displayed on the EICAS until the checklist is complete. If there is a pause before completing a subsequent step in a checklist then the crew would be at liberty to clear the lower MFD if they chose to. There are no adverse implications to this action as when the checklist switch on the MCP is selected the non-normal in progress will appear and, if necessary, a prompt in the lower right corner for any further non-normal that may need addressing. Once the non-normal requiring procedural steps has been completed, the EICAS relating to the event can be cancelled. The review and clearing of the EICAS is the last step once all checklist items are complete. If any further non-normal situations develop during this time, the EICAS has been designed to alert crew by the order and type of message displayed on the Upper MFD, and as such no awareness should be compromised. Multiple EICAS recalls that then display a host of messages that could not then be cleared under this philosophy would be limited. However, in the event that a recall should create such a situation, the the crew is within its rights to deal with the EICAS as necessary as long as good judgment prevails.
41. USE OF CANCEL/RECALL SWITCH: -
When Recalling EICAS messages the crewmember shall push the switch, announce “RECALL” and read out any messages. When an EICAS message is displayed the PM announces “EICAS” and reads the message. When an EICAS message has been reviewed the PF shall announce “Cancel EICAS”. When all non-normal checklists are complete the PF shall ask for an EICAS review. The PM will review any remaining messages on the EICAS and then cancel them when requested by the PF.
42. COMMUNICATION DURNING NON NORMAL OPERATIONS: It is accepted that PF and PM duties may change during flight in normal and non-normal operations and the Commander is the final authority for the disposition of all tasks. Communication protocols are in accordance with the guidelines found under Crew Duties in the NP FCOM VOL 1 and crews must ensure that good R/T discipline is maintained at all times. Additionally with reference to the standard confirm/confirmed call before stating confirmed the PF agrees that the action to take place and that the control is correct. It should be understood by both pilots that a silent visual confirmation of the selection of the correct control/switch is also carried before the PF responds “confirmed”.

43. ACCELERATION FOLLOWING ENGINE FAILURE DURING TAKE OFF: -
Configuration changes are approved during memory item actions, provided good awareness, management, task discipline, and communication are maintained. If acceleration in VNAV to flap limit speed minus 5kts or speed intervention are used engine thrust limitations and obstacle protections must be considered. Crews maneuvering for return to the departure airport must carefully consider all relevant factors when determining the configuration management of the aircraft. Depending on the circumstances several techniques are available to achieve the required aircraft acceleration.
44. STANDARD ENGINE OUT PROCEDURE: -
Following an engine failure during takeoff the aircraft is normally accelerated on schedule until the flaps are up. Acceleration in VNAV to flap limit speed minus 5kts or speed intervention are both acceptable techniques to delay aircraft configuration changes.
45. NON-STANDARD ENGINE-OUT PROCEDURE: Should the engine out procedure require a turn, or have a speed constraint, then speed intervention is the preferred technique to maintain the required speed until aircraft acceleration is commenced.
46. LAND AT THE NEAREST SUITABLE AIRPORT: “Plan To Land At The Nearest Suitable Airport” is a statement associated with some non-normal checklists. Flight Training recommends that this planning process should normal take place after all NNCs are complete and the EICAS has been reviewed.
47. FLIGHT DIRECTOR USAGE : When the FCTM calls for both Flight Directors to be turned OFF and the PM’s flight director selected back ON it is important that this is done. Doing so prevents the engagement of ATT and VS as AFDS modes following a go around. This situation occurs during the following: Both flight directors were turned OFF prior to the go-around, and A go-around was commenced using TOGA modes, and The FD’s were not turned back ON after landing gear retraction, and A Lateral mode is selected (LNAV or HDG SEL) causing the FD bars to disappear. The FD is then selected ON without first re-engaging TOGA, the FD bars appear in the ATT and VS modes.
48. EVACUATION COMMAND SWITCH: In the case of evacuation, the Captain(CM1) orders the evacuation when necessary. As part of the action “TO ADVISE THE CABIN CREW TO EVACUATE”, it is deemed acceptable for the Captain to activate the evacuation command switch as per the philosophy of crew duties FCOM NP.11.2 . As this switch falls under the CM2 area of it is expected that the CM2 either confirms or completes this action as required.
49. CIRCLING APPROACH AND AUTOPILOT USE: The circling approach is a visual continuation of an Instrument approach as such may be flown using the autopilot to the applicable visual autopilot restrictions. The autopilot will; however, be disconnected in accordance with the guidance shown in the QRH Maneuvers section.

When using a Supplementary Procedure consider communicating with all concerned:
Ground Engineer
CM1
CM2
Cabin Crew ATC 51.
When starting engines at gate or when no push back is required, arm the doors prior to starting the engines.
52.
When taking-off into weather, request position and hold to examine weather, consider alternate departure procedures, turns after take-off, different runways, or delaying take-off if weather is bad.
53.
If you have to return to the gate after starting the engines. Do the AFTER LANDING Checklist to ensure the aircraft is configured correctly. Ensure all are included in your communications… Purser, Pass, Maintenance, SMNC, Station. - Once back on the gate your continued considerations are Fuel, Deice, ATC Clearance, Flight Time Limitations, Flight Plan Validity, SLOT, Pas, Tech Log, Curfew…etc.
54.
Some missed approaches have a two stage climb requirement… LHR ILS27L, ZRH ILSDME14. OMA 8.3.0.9.1 states the acceleration altitude on a missed approach will be the LH published missed approach altitude. Please ensure you achieve the second altitude on these missed approaches prior to accelerating and retracting the flap. Also HKG has a speed requirement on the missed approach; ensure you are beyond the speed restriction point prior to accelerating and retracting the flap.
55.
There are no specific instructions on the use the FIX pages; however, they can be used to increase situation awareness… e.g. 25nm circle around the MSA point, and the MSA altitude in R5 position. For departure insert the transition altitude in the R5 position. For arrival insert the transition level in the R5 position. For arrival insert the time for :20 minutes prior to top of descent in the R5 position. Departing OMDB Rwy 12, OSTIN for the EFATO procedure. Departing ZRH Rwy 16 EFATO procedure: (AT KLO2.2D, LEFT TRK128, INCPT KLO 141R OUTBOUND; AT KLO 4.6D LEFT(<190KT) TO KLO, INCPT KLO253R. HOLD S/W AT KLO21.0D, INBD073 RIGHT 1 MIN LEG) - FIX page 1 KLO154/2.2, insert 128° - FIX page 2 KLO, insert 141°, (can also insert 253°) - FIX page 3 KLO141/4.6 - FIX page 4 KLO253/21. For VNAV approaches insert the IAF with a 2 nm circle as a reminder to configure the MCP.

NPA approaches often require more visibility than the min visibility published on the approach plates. This is often compounded by the lack of approach lights on these approaches. This should be considered before committing to an airport with a compromised aircraft. Height AGL(ft)

One engine inoperative operations have a choice of landing with Flap 20 or Flap 30. It is Emirates Policy to use flap 20 and only use Flap 30 if it is required for landing distance considerations. Advised by EK TRE
59.
EFATO: Prior to selecting the TOGA switch ensure the aircraft is tracking correctly. If not you will lock in the error and there will be no way to correct the tracking until above 400 AAL.
60.
When a non-normal checklists instructs “LAND AT THE NEAREST SUITABLE AIRPORT”… Just acknowledge this statement. There is time after the checklist is complete to analyze and select a suitable airport.
61.
Remember QRH landing distances are unfactored and require maximum manual braking. After calculating the required distance add on your own factor for conservatism e.g. Suggest an additional 500 meters.
62.
During Abnormal Operations requiring an Overweight Landing it is common practice to use high autobrake settings. This can result in excessive brake temperatures and brake temperatures exceeding the FUSE PLUG MELT ZONE. Often it is possible to stop on the runway with lower brake settings and much lower brake temperatures. To determine if a lower autobrake setting can be used: Consult the QRH NORMAL CONFIGURATION LANDING DISTANCE TABLE FOR FLAP 30 or FLAP 20. Find the Landing Distance for your Weight / Altitude / Wind / Temp / and Reverser condition. Apply a VREF adjustment to your current VREF.
63.
After a Depressurization and Rapid Descent remember to make a PA stating the level off altitude.
64.
Leave the Right VHF on 121.5, If you need to contact company use the center radio.
65.
If conducting a Visual or Circling approach off of an ILS approach, Fly it as a LOC approach or use V/S or FPA to intercept the G/S. ILS approaches lock onto the G/S below 1,500 AAL and will not level off at the required altitude.
66.
If you desire a restart of an Engine after an Engine Failure. Time permitting contact SMNC and Engineering to determine why the engine failed and if it is desirable or recommended to try a restart. EK TRE
67.
If you are departing and receive a Final Load Data with a reduction of passengers with baggage. The normal procedure is to coordinate with the station and return to have the baggage unloaded. If there are operational reasons that complicate this (Curfew, Flight Duty Limits) there is another option. You can contact SMNC and have Security do a check on the missing passengers and baggage. If the baggage has come from highly secure airports and they can verify the baggage does not impose a threat they can issue a waiver that authorizes carriage of the baggage without the passengers. Stephan Prugner gave this example of an actual flight during my upgrade interview . ( I can not find a reference in the manual, the best explanation I was given is that if Security is qualified to determine the severity of a bomb threat they are qualified to assess the threat of connecting baggage)

Prior to giving the purser a NITS briefing, ask questions… How are you? How is the crew? What information do you have? This is also a chance to ASSESS the situation… Get information prior to giving the NITS briefing. When advising the time remaining refer to an actual time (We will be landing at 16:25 GMT). Ensure the Purser writes down your briefing and get a read back to ensure understanding.

Bomb on board situations often require diversions to airports that are close and necessitate an immediate descent due to their proximity. Resist starting the descent until after the BOMB ON BOARD Checklist has been completed. This will allow the pressurization panel to be set correctly… (Do not complete the FMC Diversion procedure until after the BOMB ON BOARD checklist has been completed, the FMC diversion procedure reschedules the pressurization and will start the cabin altitude to descent prior to the Bomb on Board checklist being completed). (If the bomb is on a pressure switch it may go off while the aircraft is pressurized and the damage would be increased)
72. BOMB ON BOARD: There are two types of triggers to consider, Timer, and Pressure. When receiving the threat stop your climb to freeze the cabin altitude and start your clock to be aware of the time it takes you to get the aircraft on the ground. Complete the BOMB ON BOARD checklist to establish a constant cabin altitude and note the cabin altitude for future reference. When descending, level off at or above Cabin Altitude and configure the aircraft for landing (if the bomb is triggered by a decreasing pressure you are now configured prior to the explosion). Continue the approach to landing. If on a missed approach try to keep the cabin altitude below the maximum cabin altitude you have achieved ( to avoid the pressure trigger in the climb) Instructor briefing

How long can you Hold? The time available to hold on the HOLD page plans to exit the hold with minimum diversion fuel. If you hold until this time you will not have sufficient fuel to fly the approach and divert.

76. Dubai Summer Operations
Capt. Kurt Koerfgen
Every year, Dubai summer brings a string of operational challenges that particularly affect us on the 777 where we - maybe more than other fleets - routinely take maximum advantage of our aircraft's remarkable performance capabilities. There may not be much that we as pilots can do about the negative effects of high temperatures and low air pressures on aircraft performance, but we can do quite a bit to plan ahead and prepare ourselves for the summer months. Here are a few considerations that may help you maintain a smooth and efficient operation, in particular on long-haul flights where we often depart near maximum weights: 1. Compared to last summer, we now transmit fuel figures to Load Control at an earlier stage of our pre-flight preparations. While that does help Load Control in their planning, it also puts the onus on the crew to determine the Regulated Takeoff Weight (RTOW) first, before finalizing the fuel load. - Fairly rare in the cooler months; during summer we cannot take for granted that the airplane is capable of taking off at maximum structural takeoff weights. - In the absence of a RTOW from the crew, Load Control may use whatever the dispatcher used as RTOW on the flight plan, or Load Control may simply assume that maximum takeoff weight is not performance limited and base their load on structural maximum weights. - If you should later determine that you cannot take off at structural maximum takeoff weight, Load Control may already have finalized the load and you can imagine the confusion, disruptions and potential for errors and delays when payload that has already been accepted needs to be removed from the airplane shortly before departure. - At weights above 349,266 kgs the 777 C.G. envelope also narrows to the extent that you may no longer fall within the rearward C.G. range that is needed for ALTERNATE takeoff performance. - Instead of only transmitting the lower FULL C.G RTOW to Load Control, you consider advising Load Control of both FULL CG and ALTERNATE CG RTOWs. To do so: Calculate the RTOW for both conditions and advise Load Control as usual of the FULL CG RTOW, but mention also that if the takeoff CG should be 26% or more, than the higher ALTERNATE C.G. RTOW that you also provide may be used. Both RTOWs could be higher than what the dispatcher showed on the flight plan, so it is advisable to give Load Control also an updated minimum fuel figure for any higher than OFP takeoff weight(s) that you provide. This will give Load Control more latitude in their load planning and the difference between the FULL and ALTERNATE RTOWs could be 5 additional passengers with baggage - possibly staff.

2. Be keenly aware that the morning breeze that may have indicated a nice headwind component on 12R while you were still going through the briefing package is likely to change as the morning progresses and temperatures begin to rise. - Frequently, the departure runway changes from 12R to 30R during the morning hours. Due to airspace structure, 30L is also the preferred landing runway for DXB ATC, which 30R then becomes the duty takeoff runway. Takeoff performance on 30R is more limiting than takeoff performance on 12R and on a hot day you may see difference of approximately 3.6 tons between the two. If a change from 12R to 30R is probable, contact Dispatch to see whether it may be possible to delay any runway change from 12R to 30R until after your departure and consider the effect that a runway change would have on your flight. - Dispatch will also be able to advise you whether, in circumstances where takeoff from 30R would result in a loss of payload, runway 30L could be made available on request. Do not ask ATC directly over VHF for runway 30L. Dubai ATC states that in order to succeed any such request must be coordinated through Emirates Dispatch only. - Wind and temperature changes throughout the day are fairly predictable in Dubai and when you review the METAR weather observations from the last few days before your flight (e.g. http://www.aviationweather.gov/adds/metars/ providing observations for up the last 36 hrs), it may give you a good indication how the temperatures are likely to rise, and the wind is going to change between the time you arrive at the airplane and the time you commence your takeoff roll. Therefore consider the likelihood of ATC changing the departure runway from 12R to 30R. Anticipate these changes and provide Load Control with an early but also realistic RTOW. 3. Summer conditions may require the use of APU to Pack takeoff and possibly also the use of Thrust Bump. - Each one may be used on its own, but to keep engine EGTs low and reduce engine wear and tear, the APU to Pack feature should be your first choice. - If after applying the APU-to-Pack credit you should still find that performance is insufficient, the addition of Thrust Bump will provide additional takeoff performance. - Remember that neither option can be used in combination with reduced thrust takeoffs and that Thrust Bump is only available between -2000 and +3000 feet pressure altitude and for temperatures between 32 and 53 degrees C. 4. Intersection Takeoffs - Intersection takeoffs help ATC reduce delays at holding points and allow them to funnel more aircraft towards the departure runway that are then tactically giving takeoff clearances based on their different departure routes. - If you are unable to perform the takeoff from one of the ATC preferred intersections, ATC needs to know. - Advise them early, when requesting your clearance and mention it again when requesting taxi so that ATC can plan accordingly and minimize the traffic congestion at holding points. 5. Tire Wear - You may recall that we experienced a nose gear tire failure on a 777-200LR taking off for North America last year. - As a result, we developed a recommendation to take off slightly offset from the centerline to avoid repeated contact of nose wheel tires with even hotter than ambient temperature runway centerline lights. This recommendation still applies this summer. - A V2 of 188 KIAS that you may have obtained in Dubai for a 351 ton takeoff weight and 38C OAT will bring you close to the tire speed limit. - If you have not properly anticipated the wind change (see item 2 above) and told the OPT to expect a 6 kt headwind when you in fact experience now a zero or worse headwind component, may result in another 7 mph tire speed. - Keep in mind that that our takeoff speeds are KTS IAS, but the tire speed rating is expressed in mph and based on the actual rotational speed of the tire - just like on your car. - Besides FOD, the main enemy of tires is heat. Higher mph rotational speeds, higher OAT and hot centreline lights increase the risk of tire failure. - Stay familiar with the contents of the FCTM. The FCTM mentions that wheel or tire problems have historically caused almost as many accidents and incidents as have engine events. - Take steps to reduce the heat built-up in tires, taxi with appropriate speed and be mentally prepared to recognize and deal with a tire failure during takeoff. - If a tire failure should occur, consider continuing towards your destination unless there is an indication that other damage has occurred. This would allow airplane weight to be reduced normally and would give you more time to plan and coordinate your arrival. 6. Ground Handling - During the summer months temperatures may easily reach uncomfortable levels in the cabin. - When a flight arrives at the parking stand and if ground power is available, the shutdown of the APU is the signal for ground crews to connect ground air conditioning. - At remote parking stands mobile ground air conditioning units are used, but some of these units may struggle to maintain a comfortable cabin temperature level. - This will be most apparent when you arrive at the aircraft and multiple passenger and service doors on both sides of the aircraft are open to facilitate catering loading and passenger boarding. - When you arrive in Dubai, it may be advisable on these stands to confirm with the ground engineer that they intend to connect both ground electrics and ground air conditioning. - When you depart from Dubai, an earlier (60 mins prior departure) APU start may be advisable and - when operationally feasible minimize the number of open doors and use a single door for boarding when possible. Even with a 90 ton ground cooling unit you stand little chance of cooling down an airplane when multiple passenger doors and service doors on the right sides are needlessly left open.

The following procedures should be followed: Onboard Update Hajj 2009 1. Purser to liaise with the Captain and obtain information regarding flying over the `EHRAM’ Zone (Qarn Al Manzel) 2. Ensure the EHRAM P.A. announcement is made twice. The first P.A. to be made one hour prior to crossing of the `EHRAM ZONE’, and the second P.A. 30 minutes before reaching the 'EHRAM ZONE' 3. The purpose of this P.A. announcement is to advise our Muslim customers how much time is available to perform `EHRAM’, which is done by wrapping their waist and shoulders with un-stitched white Ehram clothes (male customers only) 4. The P.A. announcement should be made by a male cabin crew member only 5. On the commercial flights and extra Hajj Flights to JED, the Purser must check with the JED Ground Staff after the doors are opened to ask IF commercial customers will disembark first, and then Hajj customers, or vice-versa and make the appropriate PA.
“N.B. If operating a flight to/from Medina, then DO NOT make the EHRAM PAs “Ladies and Gentlemen, will pass abeam the Ihram Zone 1 hour (:30 minutes) from now”.

- Introduction of Pilots. - Ensure all crew members are in possession of valid personal documents. - Details of the flight. - Augmented Flights. o Rest Periods. o Meal Arrangements o Use of Rest Facilities.
- Delegation of Command. - The Purser should provide details of special passengers. - Policy to enter the flight deck. - Security Procedures. - Any other items particular to the flight.
FLIGHT CREW PAs TO PASSENGERS OMA 8.3.16.8
COMMUNICATION ◊ It is the Captain’s responsibility to maintain contact with the passengers in order to keep them informed about details of the flight and any deviations from normal operation. ◊ The Public Address system (PA) is a very effective service tool. Full use shall be made of the PA within the guidelines set out below whenever flight deck workload permits, to promote greater confidence in Emirates service. ◊ Pilots must keep in mind that due to the increased security requirements, the PA is often the only contact that pilots have with passengers and there is little or no recourse on any misconceptions created. RESPONSIBILITY FOR INFORMATION ◊ As long as the doors are still open, it is the duty of the ground staff to inform the Captain about delays exceeding five (5) minutes. The Captain in turn will provide appropriate information for the passengers, either personally, via the Purser, or the Emirates Ground Staff. ◊ In case of delayed boarding, information shall be sought from the ground staff as to announcements already made to the passengers (e.g., reason for delay). ◊ Ideally the Welcome PA should be made when all passengers are on board; however to facilitate an On Time Departure, this PA may be made to 10-15 minutes prior to ETD, in coordination with the Purser and when it is established that most of the passengers are on board. ◊ At ETD, should the aircraft not be pushing back or a delay is expected, a PA is to be made from the flight deck, with information and regular updates, as required, on the circumstances. ◊ As soon as the doors are closed, it is the full responsibility of the Captain or the designated crewmember to inform passengers about all substantial irregularities, such as departure or languages in which one is not sufficiently fluent be delegated to the Purser. ◊ Other than for delays, routine announcements from the flight deck should be restricted to the welcoming and farewell addresses, and to emergencies, abnormal situations, or when turbulence is encountered or expected. COMMUNICATION PROCEDURES FOR NORMAL OPERATIONS ◊ It is Company policy for the Captain to make the initial announcement to welcome passengers on board the aircraft. Ideally this should be given before leaving the blocks. This may be delegated to the First Officer or any Augment Crew on the flight deck, if the Captain is occupied with other, more urgent duties. ◊ Information shall be provided about: The flight plan routing - reference to be made to the Air show map display in the cabins. Forecast enroute weather - in very brief terms. Forecast destination weather - in very brief terms. Expected flight time Any other relevant information Passengers should be advised to keep their seat belts fastened at all times whilst seated during the flight. This is a CAR requirement. ◊ After the initial announcement, if made by the Captain, PA duties may be handed over to the First Officer. ◊ Cabin Crew are advised to make announcements only after the Captain or his delegate has made his “Welcome Aboard” announcement and introduced the Purser to the passengers. ◊ The farewell or top of descent PA should be made after the actual destination weather and traffic conditions have been received, to provide passengers with a more accurate ETA. This announcement should be given close to the top of descent, and in co-ordination with the Purser. PROCEDURES FOR OFF-SCHEDULE OPERATION ◊ For Off-Scheduled or Re-Scheduled departures, relevant information shall be transmitted before passengers start impatient inquiries; but not before a sound explanation of the circumstances can be given. ◊ If the departure will be delayed more than STD + 5 minutes, a PA shall be given explaining reasons and estimated time of delay. ◊ A delay should not be mentioned repeatedly. After one announcement and one apology, further information should refer to “Remaining flight time” or “ETA” only. ◊ Information shall be based on the following principles: Reason for Off-Schedule departure. Realistic statement of the expected time of the delay. ◊ In case of prolonged delay, the Captain shall inform the passengers via the Purser of all arrangements that concern them in such a way that absolutely no misunderstanding between the Flight and Cabin Crew, and passengers will arise. ◊ During extended ground stays in case of irregularities, personal contact between crew and passengers may assist in handling the situation. ◊ It is of great importance that the Captain and station personnel are always aware of each other’s whereabouts and those of all crewmembers and passengers. ◊ The Station personnel shall transmit changes to departure time to all concerned as soon as possible. ◊ When a diversion becomes necessary, passengers shall be informed as soon as possible. If onward transportation or accommodation will be required, passengers should be informed that this will be arranged by ground personnel. ◊ Information regarding passenger connections should be requested on the Company frequency for flights that have an arrival delay of more than 20 minutes. Passengers may then be advised about the status of their onward connections prior to landing. Such transmissions are subject to cockpit workload.
PA CONSIDERATIONS OMA 8.3.16.8.3 -
Avoid expressions like “Bad Weather”, “Heavy Turbulence”, “Going Down”. When referring to the Gulf use the term “Arabian Gulf”, or “The Gulf”… Do not use the term “Persian Gulf”… When flying into and over Iran use the term “The Gulf” so as not to offend the Iran or the Gulf States.
