JAA State registered ACFT are used for training exclusively. Foreign citizens carefully verify conditions for employment in Switzerland. 0.4 Notice of Flight Hours, IR Examination Interval Hours count as Dual for IR student pilots when training on a plane without aeroplane rating endorsement. An IR examiner can be flown 3 months ahead without loss in expiry. Holders of a basic licence with a no longer valid IR have to complete an IR Skill Test only, within 5 years of last IR Proficiency Check or Skill Test. 14 12.11.2006 SOP - Autore Roberto Sartori Introduction Additional conditions, which have to be fulfilled beyond 5 years, are given by FOCA. Usually it is a written test in rules and regulations (Subject 10 Air Low) and an IR Skill Test. 0.5 Airmanship Respecting principles (Values, Moral, Procedures, Systematic, Methodism, Tactics, Strategies) helps joining the professional segment of aviation. 0.5.1 Flight safety Safety untouchable highest principle, followed by: • • • 0.5.2 Timing Passenger comfort Economy Human performance and aspect development (HAD) Act according to applicable rules and regulations (Air Law, AIP, ATC, AFM, etc.) train and use an exemplary airmanship relative to professional environment. Make your own planning and decisions, use PIC function, be independent, plan and stay ahead of your aircraft, train useful systematic, follow standard flight procedures in normal flight conditions. Basic IR scanning with reference to: PITCH POWER SPEED • AVIATE: Maintain continuous control of the aeroplane • NAVIGATE: Select correct heading, radial to / from, or QDM / QDR, track to a Fix and Altitude / FL • COMMUNICATE: Communicate any Incident or Accident and/or your course of action Stay current in procedures, checks, drills, data for aeroplane operation. SOP - Autore Roberto Sartori 12.11.2006 15 Introduction 0.6 Applicability of given Flight Procedure Data Figures and procedures given in this handbook relate to CPL/IR, FNPT, Seneca II (MEP) and Arrow (SEP) mainly. Must be used as hard reference guide-line for procedures standardization from the PPL(A) training too. The instructor selects and identifies the main procedures to be applied, some little modification has to be considered in order to remain within the operational consideration of PPL(A) training and operations. The student has to be conducted in the manual and helped to underline the chapter or information he needs. Chapters that are for IFR/IR only are marked with (I). Chapters that are for MEP(A) only are marked with (M). This manual is applicable for training to aim for professional pilot proficiency Operate aeroplanes according to Aeroplane Flight Manual (AFM) 0.7 Aircraft Approach Category (PANS-OPS) FNPT operation category: B Piper Seneca operation category: B Speeds (IAS in Knots/Kias) based on 1,3 times the stall speed in landing configuration at maximum gross landing mass (Vat = 1.3 x Vso) Category B applicable speeds (see Jeppesen 1 - Introduction section - page. 2): • • • • • • • 16 Vat Threshold: V Initial approach: V Final approach: V Max Visual circling: V Max.

Scanning Instrument flying requires coordination of attitude and power setting to obtain or maintain primary flight parameters. All visual references are replaced by instruments. Most instruments ask for a systematic, methodical, and tactic of supervising of required parameter. False readings and false interpretations can almost be avoided if you already know parameters that should be indicated before reading them. It is neither possible nor required to control all instruments at the same time. Therefore follow scanning priorities depending on attitude. Stabilized attitudes (performances) are established and maintained by coordination of pitch and power. It is possible best, if you know reference data. This fact explains, that the artificial horizon is the very central flight instrument. Starting from the ADI, all other instruments are scanned radially and selective according to priority in specific rhythm. Horizon demands at least 80% of complete scanning at highest attention. 18 12.11.2006 SOP - Autore Roberto Sartori Fundamentals T - SCANNING ASI ADI ALT T&B HSI VSI ASI Air Speed Indicator T&B Turn & Bank Indicator ADI Attitude Director Indicator HSI Horizontal Situation Indicator ALT Altimeter VSI Vertical Speed Indicator CRUISE SOP - Autore Roberto Sartori ASI ADI ALT ALT1 T&B HSI HSI2 VSI 12.11.2006 19 Fundamentals CLIMB ASI 1 ADI ALT 2 T&B HSI 3 VSI DESCEND 20 ASI 2 ADI ALT 3 T&B HSI 4 VSI 1 12.11.2006 SOP - Autore Roberto Sartori Fundamentals CRUISE TO CLIMB ASI Power ADI HSI T&B ALT VSI CLIMB TO CRUISE ASI ADI Power T&B SOP - Autore Roberto Sartori HSI 12.11.2006 ALT VSI 21 Fundamentals CRUISE TO DESCEND ADI Power ASI T&B HSI ALT VSI DESCEND TO CRUISE Power ADI ASI T&B 22 HSI 12.11.2006 ALT VSI SOP - Autore Roberto Sartori Fundamentals Plan attitude changes and perform them systematically. Consider all required items to perform attitude changes: • • • • Select new altitudes, or set a reminder Altimeter settings Cowl flap operation Correct sequencing of Mixture - Propeller – Throttle Instrument flying asks for a good intellectual, manual mixture of capabilities and an unlimited flexibility. Each action must be planned and performed accordingly. This gives you a situation position ahead of the aeroplane and overview. In expanded scanning return to horizon and basic scanning pattern after each manipulation, check item, briefing step, OFP work, ATC conversation, passenger relation. Whenever a flight is conducted with autopilot and/or flight director, scanning has to be intensified using a Raw Data back up for redundancy of AP/FD programming and supervision of the ongoing operation. 1.4 Bank Turns shall be flown using rate one turn bank angle to max 25°. Larger bank angles (> 30°) are outside normal flight procedures and call for clear pitch/power adjustment to maintain altitude and airspeed. Heading changes of more than 25° shall be flown at 25° bank. For smaller heading changes use bank angle that equals heading change in degrees. 1.5 IFR-Navigation SLS IFR Navigation / Respective ICAO PANS - OPS Jeppesen 1.5.1 Line of position (LOP) value changes: Outbound: Large value to the right Smaller value to the Left Inbound: Large value to the left Smaller value to the right SOP - Autore Roberto Sartori 12.11.2006 23 Fundamentals 1.5.2 RBI Navigation Instrument Sectors Minus - 1.5.3 Plus + QDM = HDG ± RB Needle Peak QDR = HDG ± RB Needle end NDB Navigation Be aware of ahead or past indications, false indications during turns (false by 5° to 15° into direction of turn due to the sense antenna reception motion) and various possible system disturbances.

We use take off and Approach Briefings. These briefings inform the instructor and force you to have ready a clear plan for the briefed phase of flight in day-to-day operation. Briefings shall be made as soon as all relevant data are known and in phases of little workload only. Think First - Talk later. Performing briefings in a certain scheme helps to keep it short (brief) and to memorize all items. The flying pilot briefs the crew e.g. on intentions including abnormal status of flight relating equipment. The PIC has to judge whether or not a take off or approach shall be commenced based on operational requirements, the weather and the probability of a successful completion, etc. . Briefings never shall arise to “Alibi”. A good briefing is short, clear and complete. 1.13 Single Pilot Operation a. 32 Fix required charts and maps on the control yoke correctly folded and sequenced. Have ready all other plates of departure, destination, alternate and en-route aerodromes. Use plastic covers and kneeboard, avoid loose paper. Have all plates ready in optimal sequence, as: 10-9, 10-3, 10-2, 11-1, 19-1, 10-9. Fold en-route and area charts to store them on your kneeboard: E( LO ) .. , 10-1 12.11.2006 SOP - Autore Roberto Sartori Fundamentals 1.14 b. Pencil: line fixed with kneeboard, keep reserve pencil c. Always have access to d. Do not have any plate on knees during take-off, landing, go around, touch and go, and air work (ex leg attached board). e. Organize your “cockpit” as practically and logically as possible; close loops. f. Set and keep record of cleared altitudes. g. Take clearance when ready to copy only (not during taxi), otherwise say “standby”. h. Know main objective(s) of different checks, expanded check list i. Set personal gates as Ö Altitude - DME reference - Needle movement j. Nobody tells you that you forgot or mistook something, therefore continuously recheck and crosscheck navigation, aircraft systems, never assume, always assure. k. Define safe weather minima for your operation (engine failure, etc.) Checklists, AFM Navigation documents Jeppesen Volume 1, VFR AIP VOL 2 Sunglasses and other directed glasses Hand mikes, flashlights, oxygen mask, life vest Seat Position Correct position is important because of look out, cut-off angle during approach, location of flight control, pedals with brakes, unobstructed view of flight instruments, switches and levers. Be able to apply full deflections inclusive brakes (engine failure, braking). Verify and train different feet positions relative to pedals: 1.15 Heel on cockpit ground: Braking almost not possible, caring of brake coat and disc temperature. Feet on pedals: Required for efficient braking, pay attention to inadvertent braking. Seat Belts Including shoulder harness must be worn for taxi, take-off, landing, in turbulence, abnormal and emergency situations. Avilù orders to wear seat belts including shoulder harness for the reminder of the flight. JAA examiners are excepted of this regulation and act on their own responsibility. SOP - Autore Roberto Sartori 12.11.2006 33 Fundamentals 1.16 Checklist Philosophy Do not mistake Checks for Flight Procedures. Checks are components of procedures and serve to verify that systems have been handled correctly by procedures or to check systems. In little situations only systems are operated during checks. Applying good procedure systematic gives you guarantee to perform checks without workload. Important duties are handled during procedures. Call out beginning and completion of checks. Do it as a package and when flight process permits. Don’t point with fingers to instruments or switches. Most in-flight items are silent items. Be conscious of each check item. Repeat by heart items/checks with checklist to assure completion. Usually checks are performed action related as: 34 Check Action Cockpit preparation, outside check: Completed before session starts. Engine start: Start-up approved. Taxi check: Routing to holding point is verified, clear of obstacles, immediately after starting taxi check brakes smoothly and steering. Engines ground check: CHT green arc, aircraft rear zone checked; must not be repeated as long as the engine was not stopped or indicated any problem; avoid execution in noise sensitive areas. Check before departure: Before each departure. Line-up check: Leaving holding point, during line up, strobe lights on whenever on a runway and start “Line up check”. Taxi and Landing light ON when clear for Take off only. Climb check (clean configuration): “TA, altimeters 1013, FL ..….. cross checked, Climb check“. Cruise check (power setting): Big Loop completed. Approach preparation: Immediately past silent check of PPA and avionic setting; completed latest before leaving IAF inbound. FAF/OM (altimeter settings): Completed when passing appropriate point (All approaches). NPA FAF inbound if no OM is published. 12.11.2006 SOP - Autore Roberto Sartori Fundamentals Final check (safe landing): Final approach configuration established, beyond OM check, and OM report to ATC. Check after landing: Runway vacated (passing holding point) or during backtrack when stable on centre line, silently repeat “Check after landing” with checklist before starting “Parking check”. Parking check: Standing aeroplane, parking brake set. Icing, fuel management, system control, passenger relations, avionic setting (big and small loop), performance (PPAA), etc. are no checklist items but under continuous observation. When departing from other airports than home base, perform checks on apron as far as “Check before departure”, except take off briefing. Making fuel checks, convert fuel into flight time. 1.16.1 Checklist by heart or by paper On Ground Paper In flight: 1 Man operation Ö By heart or Paper (Note 1) In flight: 2 Men operation Ö Paper Emergency: By heart or Paper (Note 2) Note 1: It is important to perform checks correctly and always to have control of the aircraft. Note 2: Make difference between checklist by heart items or application of common sense and those checklists that are used by paper with autopilot on later. 1.17 Checklist Legend, Explanation Legend Explanation # First Flight of the Day FFD Icing condition By heart items I IFR Fuel Verify minimum fuel, compare with on-board fuel convert into flight time, verify secured fuel caps RPM 1100 RPM for smooth run and reduced noise level (Min 1100 - Sandel EHSI min voltage, Max 1500 RPM Turbine cool down) Secure Doors, windows closed and latched, POB secured (inclusive shoulder harness), seats locked, no loose objects in cabin and cockpit. SOP - Autore Roberto Sartori 12.11.2006 35 Fundamentals 1.18 Voice - Radiotelephony Flight safety calls for correct standard phraseology. It reflects an important instrument in all flight categories. Get in habit of making standard reports when passing beacon or fix, established, OM. Read back clearances. Copy a clearance when ready only, otherwise ask ATC to “Standby”. Never use “Roger”. Verify and assure if anything is not clear, never assume. Inform ATC about your intentions as soon, clear and as precise as possible, as school flights are extra flights with changing, individual programme (en route holding, steep turns, circling approaches). Start with a standard call, add your intentions on first reply to ATC instruction. Think before you talk A good Radiotelephony speech mean that the flight student has an overview on what he has to do, he knows when is the best time to inform ATC knowing the traffic situation, and is planning ahead. Convention Meanings First call: Station - call sign – altitude, FL, climbing, descending - HDG if instructed, ATIS. Listening watch: Keep it without any interruption, make your mind up regarding the surrounding situation. Standard approach: Without radar vectoring, own navigation. Speed restriction: Cleared for approach doesn’t mean no speed restriction, for safety and operational reasons maintain instructed speed as accurate as possible, if unable to comply inform ATC without delay. Leaving FL: If not cleared to descend when ready, confirm by: “H - LM leaving ……” ATC absolutely has to trust your leaving level report. Leaving IFR: Report your leaving or joining intentions early for coordination. Option: Go around, Touch and go, Stop and go, Full stop. Do not use Option terminology in Lugano APT, ask for the effective exercise you would like to do. German/Italy ATC Low approach = Go around France ATC Option = Landing or Go around Approach clearance: Latest 3 NM ahead of clearance limit, concern about approach clearance Type of approach: 36 Whenever ATC clears you for an ILS approach, but you will fly an other type of approach, simply reply: “H - LM cleared for localizer/DME approach RWY 29”. 12.11.2006 SOP - Autore Roberto Sartori Fundamentals • • • • • • • 1.18.1 “H-LM, request three standard approaches ILS/LOC/VOR/NDB; 2 with go around, then full stop” “H-LM, approaching BSA, ready for standard VOR/ILS/LOC approach.” “Monti Tower, HB-LLM, established ILS RWY 32; request two approaches with Go around” “H-LM, standing by for SID clearance to Lugano, valid after this approach with option.” “H-LM, unable to comply with …………, request standard …….” “H-QH request start up one aerodrome VMC circuit to climb on downwind and join IFR overhead”. “H-LM request vector for three ILS/LOC/VOR/NDB; 2 with go around, then full stop”. Procedures – Tips Operational experience from more than 2 decades teach! Procedures and tips are produced in order to fulfil many requirements, like efficiency, coordination, planning, standardization ect. Pilots are request to respect the following: • • • • • 1.19 Always inform the ATC controller in due time if you have to deviate from the assigned clearance. Have a continuous lessening in the frequency in order to have your overview on the traffic and to be ready for your call. Never leave the frequency unless instructed. Have a high degree of discipline in the communication processes. Make always a direct call with all the required information the first time, except if you call FIS, AFIS or Delta. Look-Out For collision avoidance in spite of better ground and aircraft equipment, visual avoidance rules apply in VMC. A sharp look out has to be included in scanning pattern whenever in VMC, regardless of flight rule. Report traffic to instructor/examiner in regard to the clock hours position, es: “Traffic 2 o'clock slightly lower“. In simulated IMC only, the flight instructor alone is responsible for look out. 1.20 Cockpit call out (I) Call out all your actions and intentions. Always call out for precision approaches “Approaching minimum” (100’ above) and “Minimum”. It is also strongly recommended to make a call when approaching an intermediate altitude during a NPA, as well as “Approaching MDA” “VDP” and “MAP”. SOP - Autore Roberto Sartori 12.11.2006 37 Flight Panning 2 FLIGHT PLANNING 2.1 Hint Plan and organize at home. There you are able to complete a thorough planning and preparation. You are actually ready when approaching the airport. Required data are obtainable at home by Internet, Fax, Phone, TV-Tele Text. Find contacts to airport authorities, meteorological offices, ATC in the Jeppesen. 2.2 Time Management You are responsible for keeping time planning in respect of permissions, slots, airport operation hours, flight plans, briefings, session, boarding and turn around. A good control and conduct of time management is a result of a wide overview knowledge and preparation of planned trip. Time management reference: Steps Time / minutes Aircraft preparation 15 - 30 Organization & preparation of documentation for pre flight 20 - 30 briefing 2.3 Pre flight briefing 30 End of pre flight briefing until off block 20 Off block until airborne 20 Turn around from on block until off block 60 Short turn around (engines running) 20 Post flight briefing 30 - 60 Customs Check if customs is available at foreign airport and at Swiss airport of entry. Comply with conditions for customs clearance. Always take identity card or passport with you. 2.4 Permission If flying two or more approaches, school and training flights generally ask for permission or at least a prior notification to airport authority regarding intended programme. Clearly state intentions (number and kind of approaches, circuits, landings) to TWR duty officer. 38 12.11.2006 SOP - Autore Roberto Sartori Flight Planning 2.5 SLOT Arrange in and out bound slots: • • • Airport Ö AMC Airport Movement Control Airway Ö Flow Control Other necessary SLOT AIS Zurich informs about required airway and airport SLOT. Times are lift off, respectively. ATO IAF related. Arrange to be ready in appropriate position 5 to 10 minutes ahead of SLOT. Prefer short waiting or holding time instead of missing a SLOT. 2.5.1 CTOT CTOT window consists of: Starting CTOT Õ 5 minutes before 2.6 Ending Ö 06:55 UTC 10 minutes after Operational Flight Plan (OFP) Prepare OFP for each flight leg and make copies. Flight time for subsequent IFR approaches is 15 minutes per approach and 5 minutes per VFR circuit. 2.7 Fuel Calculation – FC 2.7.1 Non JAR Regulated – PPL(A) Taxi fuel and route reserve may never be converted into flight time. Planning of descent fuel is replaced by calculating cruise fuel to overhead destination. Trip fuel is the sum of climb and cruise fuel. Route reserve covers any deviation from planned conditions as level, wind, temperature, re routing, and uncertainties.

Take the higher of: a. b. 2.8 5% of planned trip Fuel Fuel to fly for 5 minutes al holding speed at 1’500 ft above destination aerodrome • Alternate Fuel Fuel from DA/MAP to destination alternate via MAPR, en route, STAR, Approach, but use long range cruise • Final Reserve Fuel 30 min flight at 1’500 ft AAE Additional Fuel Fuel required when planning without alternate. 15 min fuel at 1’500 ft AAE Company Fuel To cover specific operational requirement. Avilù requires 5 Usg/SEP & 10 Usg/MEP to cover variation in training mission. Extra Fuel By commander discretion Weight and Balance - W & B Prepare one calculation for each session, including all legs. Calculate first take-off and last landing by subtracting total fuel burn of all legs. 2.9 ATC Flight Plan (I) General guidelines how to file ATC plan you will find in AIP 1 or Jeppesen. To comply with IFPS and CFMU regulations, transmit ATC FPL latest 3 hours before EOBT. An individual form must be filed for each flight leg in Switzerland. For the standardized mission refer to document ATC FPL. 2.10 Weather (I) Avoid thunderstorms, severe icing, severe turbulence as well as dark and yellow zones of clouds. Circumnavigate TS in VMC if possible, if available use storm scope, weather radar if available and ask Radar for assistance. SOP - Autore Roberto Sartori 12.11.2006 41 Flight Panning Any deviation from track and FL/Alt requires an ATC clearance: “H-LM request left turn HDG 120 for 10 NM to avoid weather”. ATC therefore will issue a re clearance. Do not plan a flight into an area of moderate icing. Consider stronger head winds aloft causing longer flight times and ask for more fuel. It is recommended to multiply headwind components aloft by 1,5 and to divide tailwind components by 2. RVR should be reported when either VIS or RVR is less then 1500 m. In order to estimate the chance of a landing from the VIS given in a TAF, the following rule of thumb may be used as a guidance (HIALS and RL in operation): 2.10.1 Daylight Visibility RVR x 1.5 Darkness Visibility RVR x 2.0 Application of TAF and TREND for flight-planning (Pre flight): Applicable time period: • From start of TAF validity period up to first applicable change (FM or BECM), respectively up to the end of the TAF validity time if no change is given Application of forecast: • Prevailing weather conditions of initial part, except mean wind and gusts (crosswind), overruled by TEMPO or PROB only Application of TAF with following change indicators (in TAF or TREND): Report Application BECMG deterioration Applicable from time of start of change BECMG improvement Applicable from time of end of change TEMPO/PROB deterioration Transient showery: Persistent conditions: AD considered above MNM extra fuel recommended Shall be fully applied TEMPO/PROB improvement In any case shall be disregarded PROB10 or PROB20 May be disregarded PROB30 or PROB40 Should be used PROB10 / 40 TEMPO May be disregarded Latest meteorological information shall be obtained and evaluated before commencing an approach. Due regard must also be given to RWY surface conditions. Full use shall be made of ATIS. For landing latest wind information as given by TWR shall be used in regard to operational limitations. 42 12.11.2006 SOP - Autore Roberto Sartori Flight Planning 2.10.2 Weather to plan without alternate (I) A flight may be planned without destination alternate provided the following conditions are met: • • The flight time does not exceed 6 hours The following minimum weather conditions are met: Ceiling at least 2’000 ft or circling* height + 500 ft, whichever is greater; and Visibility at least 5 km * Use any published circling, if none available use 2’000 ft • • • • Weather: NO – shallow fog, thunderstorm, heavy precipitation Runway condition: at least FC 0.30 or BA medium and no fluid contamination, no untreated sheet ice Wind: must be within AFM limits with due consideration of runway condition 2 separate, usable runways, fulfilling the following requirement: Surface which may be overlaid or crossed in a such a way that if one of the two runways is blocked, it will not prevent the planned operations on the other runway.

Take off not authorized In freezing rain During fall of wet snow, temperature around 0° C If ice, snow or frost is accumulated on the aircraft Risk of moderate icing in initial climb Thunderstorm activity in vicinity of airport Take-off not recommended Weather conditions below approach minima In Flight Approaching visible moisture, activate all required anti/deice systems up to + 5° C IOAT due to instrument error and ram rise. Use surface-deice according AFM after ice accumulation of ¼ to ½ inch (1.5 cm) only. Repeated boot cycles at less than 1 cm can cause cavity to form under the ice and prevent ice removal. Cycles at thickness greater than 2 cm may also fail to remove ice. Severe icing No aeroplane is certified for continued flight in severe icing conditions. Immediately leave severe icing when encountered.

The non-flying pilot shall overtake only when completely aware of actual situation and status of flight. The procedure must be executed in a clear way. In inverse situation the student calls “My controls” and the flight instructor confirms “your controls”. 4.4 Throttle Handling Turbocharged engines need to be handled with caution. Start taxi with 1100 RPM. It normally puts the aircraft in movement. Avoid high power settings (greater than 1500 RPM) when starting taxi to avoid loose objects, damage and superfluous noise. Do not set asymmetric power for turns. 52 12.11.2006 SOP - Autore Roberto Sartori Flight Procedures 4.5 Taxi Do not start taxi in a crowded area on the apron. First look out for obstacle clearance and identify your expected way to the holding point of departure runway. Get taxi approval by authority (apron, ground, tower). Note off-block time, then check: “Left, Right, and propeller area clear, taxi light on, brake off” Immediately after starting taxi (1 - 2 meters) check smoothly both brakes one at the time. Avoid light continuous braking as this heats up brakes. Adjust taxi speed by throttles. Maintain centrelines, except when lead by an official follow-me vehicle. Keep turns gentle for instrument checks. Use natural taxiway turns for instrument checks. Decelerate aircraft taxi speed without brake application. Stop taxi then: “Parking brake set, taxi light off, 1100 RPM set” You will achieve a smooth taxi roll stop by looking over the left wing tip during brake application until the aircraft doesn’t move any more. 4.6 Taxi check 1.

SOP - Autore Roberto Sartori 12.11.2006 53 Flight Procedures Take off alternate applicable minima: • IAL + 300 ft / 1000 m, but at least 500 ft / 2000 m and depart only if you have adequate visual guidance to control the aeroplane on VMC following a VMC escape route after take off. Must be taken into significant consideration the marginal climb performance in case of single engine operation. 4.9 Take-off Briefing It is the last item prior to departure to remember important parameter and actions. Do it short, pregnant and active. Put your briefing into environment. During briefing have a look at related instruments and touch handles. Handling of any malfunction runs as planned and trained in drill exercises. For determination of decision point remember that single engine climb performance is very marginal or even impossible and depending on various conditions. Your decision how to handle a malfunction during take off has to be taken within seconds. For the briefing consider all influences, think of solutions and their practicability, then talk. Be systematic but never schematic. Some take off briefing considerations: • • • • • • • • • 4.9.1 Be aware, think, decide, talk Major malfunction = Engine failure and/or Loss of directional control Critical speeds: Vmc (Red line) – Vxse – Vyse (Blue line) Density altitude Decision point Single engine climb out path and target altitude (use common sense) Emergency drills and procedures Take off alternate; weather and terrain en route Loss of directional control Ö Reduce Power and Pitch in order to gain controllability and accelerate Take off Briefing from the Instructor The instructor shall, for every take off, clarify the handling of the failure in regard to the simulated ones and the real life failure. In case a student real life failure happens, the trainee must have clear what is the course of action from the instructor, in order to be coordinated on aeroplane handling for safe flying and system handling. No unexpected simulated failure out of the ones from the briefing can be executed during training. 54 12.11.2006 SOP - Autore Roberto Sartori Flight Procedures 4.9.2 Take off briefing basic structure "Take off Briefing" General Briefing: Include: Runway in use & Weather condition.

SEP: MEP: 4.13 Head aircraft nose towards approach sector (approximately 20°) Stop in parallel with TWY centre line Line-up Use full available RWY length for wider safety margin. Request full runway length or backtrack. Drill line up check for rolling take-off and apply packages “On centreline” and “Cleared for take off” flexible in sequence for expeditious departures. 4.14 Setting of Take off Power Brake aircraft and set smoothly 30 inch, advance to take off power with an intermediate throttle movement stop at 33 inch due to delayed response of engine to throttle movement, then adjust exact take off power (better one inch less than over boost), never over boost engines. Call out “Power set, engine instruments normal” (all engine instruments, especially MP, RPM and FF) and release brakes. Described procedure is called Static Take off and is applied close to and at MTOM, in low visibility and from contaminated runways. A take-off without braking the aircraft for power setting is called Rolling take off. Perform second procedure to be trained, to do so on ATC request, avoiding blockage of traffic flow under following conditions: • • • 4.15 Be well familiar with aircraft Runway and obstacles are not a limiting factor for take off performance Weather allows good lateral guidance on runway Rotation, Initial Climb Shortly before rotation speed move your hand from the throttles to the control wheel and rotate the aircraft slowly to the required pitch attitude. Aim to lift off not before (ATC-810) 95 kt, (Seneca) 76 kt flaps 0° or 72 flaps 10°. During rotation crosscheck horizon and airspeed indications. Rotate to approximately (ATC-810) 10°, (Seneca) 10° and adjust pitch (max. 15°) to get and maintain Vxse. Look out to keep runway axis by eventually necessary HDG correction. At positive climb rate call “Positive rate, gear up”. At 400 ft AGL accelerate to climb speed Vyse (Blue line) check flaps up and set climb power. Turns shall not be initiated below 400 ft AGL. Start a turn in exception at 200 ft AGL with caution and smoothly for noise abatement procedures, SID, MISAP or OBST reasons. Up to 400 ft AGL bank shall be limited to 15°. 58 12.11.2006 SOP - Autore Roberto Sartori Flight Procedures 4.16 Climb Gradient / CG = ROC:GS (Jeppesen-ATC-page 202, 2.3.2) Unless otherwise promulgated, a Procedure Design Gradient (PDG) of 3,3% is assumed for SID. It is made up of 2,5% gradient of obstacle identification surfaces or the gradient based on most critical obstacle penetrating these surfaces, whichever is the higher gradient and 0,8% increasing obstacle clearance. Calculate climb gradients for single engine and normal operation to verify if able to comply with SID or MAPR restrictions. Seneca Normal Operation CG: 12% OEI CG: 2% For reliable data refer to AFM & Jeppesen ! 4.17 Climb Maintain climb speed as accurately as possible by fine pitch adjustments. MP must be readjusted (1 inch every 1’000 ft) during climb by very small throttle movements. Carefully watch engine instruments, especially all temperature gauges. Whenever climb rate drops below 500 ft/min, reduce airspeed (not below Vxse) to improve angle of climb. To fulfil special climb gradients, higher acceleration altitudes have to be selected, or the procedure for maximum take off performance shall be used. Consider take off power limits. If climbing in icing condition, evaluate carefully the speed you want to fly in regard to ice accumulation rate and pitch. Better to have a lower altitude/attitude and to be forced to change routing or to discontinue the flight than to have the target altitude and no power and aerodynamic resources left. 4.17.1 Climb Profile Transition Altitude TA: “Climb Check” Vcc Vy Vx SOP - Autore Roberto Sartori 12.11.2006 MSA 400 ft AAE or Obstacle 59 Flight Procedures 4.18 Step Climb Set and arm or set a reminder to the cleared altitude or flight level, then fully forward mixtures, set climb RPM and throttles for climb power. Adjust climb attitude for desired speed. Operate cowl flaps as required. If a step is 1000 ft or less, it may be flown at cruise power but minimum at 500 ft/min. 4.19 Cruise At 1000 ft before reaching cleared altitude/FL call “1000 ft to go”, at “500 ft to go, cylinder head temperature green, cowl flaps closed” as recheck. Depending on ROC lower pitch when approaching new altitude for a smooth level off. Do not have ROC more than 1’500 ft/min within 2000 ft cleared altitude in order to remain within TCAS system limitation. As a rule of thumb start level off latest at 1/10 of ROC in feet ahead of new altitude. Allow speed build up (acceleration phase) to at least 140 kias before setting cruise power en route or avoid speed build up for circuits, subsequent approaches or short flight legs by early power reduction at target speed. Initially trim during acceleration, set required power; carefully check EGT and when speed and aerodynamic effect stop with the power stabilize make trim adjustment. 4.19.1 Cruise systematic: Level off: Set Pitch – Power/Table (MP/RPM/MIX-EGT) - Trim Autopilot: Programme FD or check FD programmeming – AP ON Big Loop: Avionic setting Cruise Check: Apply Check list TOD calculation: Calculate TOD or POD (Top or Point) Approach Preparation: ASAP ATIS or Meteo report, plan approach briefing 4.20 Descent Select new altitude/FL or set a reminder, set altimeters QNH or verify setting. Start pitch/power drill by lowering pitch, reducing power and enriching mixtures. Stabilize ROD, check airspeed. When cleared to an altitude and descent is established start the “Approach Check”. ROD of non pressurized aircraft shall be arranged between 500/800 ft/min to avoid barotraumas, report to ATC your reduce descent limitation. ROD of pressurized aircraft below FL250 shall be between 1000 - 3500 ft/min, discrepancies must be reported to ATC immediately. 60 12.11.2006 SOP - Autore Roberto Sartori Flight Procedures 4.21 Top of Descent Determine Point of Descent POD for economy, passenger comfort and to avoid engine shock cooling.

Do not leave an arrival or departure frequency of an airport you are transiting, unless really required. At modest conversation copy ATIS in parallel to radiotelephony. Confirm ATIS identification on arrival or approach frequency. 4.23 Milano & Garda Approach Frequency (I) These singular ATC units serve for many airports within TMA until established on final approach as those airports do not have their own arrivals control radar. 4.24 Approach Minima (I) JAA: See Jeppesen 1 – Terminal section Alternate: Refer to authority, responsible JAR minima; whichever higher is required SOP - Autore Roberto Sartori 12.11.2006 61 Flight Procedures 4.25 Approach Briefing Item to be briefed before commencing the first approach: Items Briefing Clearance limit Point including FL/altitude Type of approach - Rwy Raw Data/FD/AP-FD, Type of approach, visual circling to RWY .

SOP - Autore Roberto Sartori 12.11.2006 65 Flight Procedures 4.26 Clearance Limit (I) Know your clearance limit, regarding point and altitude. If no approach clearance has been received so far, call latest 3 NM ahead of limiting point “H-LM approaching BSA, ready for approach”. As soon as cleared for approach and aircraft is established inbound, descent to the appropriate altitudes is initiated on behalf of pilot according to procedure. Whenever you intend to fly an approach with option, followed by en route leg to an other airport, ask as early as possible for (SID) clearance, valid beyond approach with option. Follow MAPR if no SID clearance was received. 4.27 Approach Speeds (I) Reduce to initial approach speed before approaching IAF and OM inbound to blue line.

Upon vectoring immediately set avionics for final approach in regard to MAPR and self determination of position to cover MSA. Set your GNS 430 moving map to a suitable range to control the progresses of radar vectoring. 4.30 Intermediate and Final Approach (I) Be familiar with approach segments. Start approach when cleared, a reasonable chance for successful landing exists, ATIS or weather is copied, required charts are instantly available, approach briefing is completed, avionics are set for approach and checks are completed. Set both altimeters to QNH when cleared to an altitude and crosscheck indications, set RA as required if available. Line up on centre line as far out as possible by 30° angle for Localizer intercept and all other by 45° angle. Concentrate on control of line up process and on needle movement. As soon as it starts moving call out “LOC moving” - “Radial moving” – “Approaching QDM/R”. Roll out to be established on final approach track by flying wind heading. SOP - Autore Roberto Sartori 12.11.2006 67 Flight Procedures To avoid false LOC captures and premature descents the following precautions must be taken: • Follow LOC information during manual approach and arm FGS during coupled approach only after vicinity of LOC beam has been checked by independent NAV aids (VOR, NDB, GPS). • Crosscheck GP interceptions with DME or suitable bearings whenever possible. • Descents below MORA, MOCA and MSA during ILS approach using own navigation is not authorized unless, within GP covering sector (10 - 12 NM) and intercept is possible from below GP or after ILS-DME check. During intermediate approach segment silently verify altimeter QNH and avionic settings for final approach. Set flaps “Approach” on intercept heading to final track but latest when glide slope is one dot above centre or 1 NM before FAF. Lower gear shortly before reaching glides lope ¼ dot above centre or 0,5 NM ahead of FAP. At FAF/FAP apply pitch and power adjustments. Systematic heading flying and pitch to ROD scanning is important on final track. Scan SKY POINTER. Do not exceed 10° bank for track corrections until passing OM and not more than 5° bank OM inbound. Set HDG bug onto missed approach HDG. Maximum correction angle 5° at a time from FAP or FAF to OM or substitute (approximate 4 NM final) and 2° at a time OM or substitute inbound. As rule of thumb do not have heading correction greater than the heading bug wide. After corrections go to wings level: roll in, roll out! Watch the Sky Pointer, the ball and look for symmetric power. If the LOC is offset, but not moving, you are already moving towards centre line. Keep glide slope or ROD by pitch and speed by power. At OM or substitute have OM check completed set flaps 25°. Make ATC report as required and continue with “Final check”. In this check you will set propeller controls to MAX RPM. This increases propeller disc drag effect and causes speed decrease as well as dive below glideslope if no corrective action is initiated (speed reduction). Reduce to reference speed: “Final check completed, target speed F25° 91/F40° 86” 4.31 Established (I) Flying stabilized in tolerances of LOC and GS deviations for an ILS approach or in tolerances of final approach track and altitude for non precision approaches means established. If not fully established, you report the component only, on that you are established in fact. To correct deviations, do not fly the needles, but a HDG for track correction and an attitude/ROD for GP correction. 68 12.11.2006 SOP - Autore Roberto Sartori Flight Procedures If not stabilized • • • • • • • On approach centre line Glide slope or altitude Final approach configuration Final approach speed Wind heading Reference power setting (false: idle, MCP, etc.) And checks completed when passing the Final Gate at 500 ft AAE in VMC or 1000 ft AAE in IMC at marginal weather conditions or special approach procedures, perform go around and follow missed approach procedure. 4.32 Altimeter Correction (I) As altimeter indication is delayed in descent (hysteresis), indicated OM/substitute altitude usually is slightly higher than published altitude. Piper doesn’t publish correction tables for Seneca II. 4.33 Outer Marker or Substitute (I) Start check already when approaching the marker or its substitute. Should no marker or substitute be available, initiate OM check on stabilized final descent. In certain cases, not all listed items can be checked. Imprint position of altimeter needle at DA/MDA and be aware of VDP and MAP in a non precision approach procedure. At the OM or Substitute you must check and say: • • • • 4.34 “Altimeters QNH ……..” “OM/Substitute OM, altitudes Cross Checked” “Minimum ……… VDP/MAP” “MAPR initially ……., to climb at ………ft” ILS Approach (I) Standard glide slope angle is 3°. ROD in ft/min on 3° angle is: GS x 5 = ROD (gradient 5,2 % or 1:20, 300 ft per NM) Descend on LOC within one dot (half scale) deflection only. Perform glide slope correction basically by pitch. Use pitch for GP corrections and power for speed corrections and once more pitch and power to re stabilize on glide slope to stop the initiated correction. SOP - Autore Roberto Sartori 12.11.2006 69 Flight Procedures Call out at 100 ft above minimum/MDA: • • • “Approaching minimum” “RPM MAX” “Minimum, landing” or “Minimum, go around” Descend on GS within ½ dot GS deflection to fly UP, and 1 dot to fly down. ICAO policy allow ± 1 dot (half scale) GS deflection to the minimum, but at DA it must be virtually “0”. 4.35 High Speed ILS / Low Drag Approach (I) High speed approach shall be performed only if following conditions are fulfilled: • • • Full ILS and long RWY available (> 2000 m) Both engines running Ceiling and visibility are applicable minimum plus 500 ft / 1000 m. Reduce power to get flap operation speed latest at 1500 ft QFE. Set initial flaps before passing OM. Be established in final approach configuration and at reference speed latest at 500 ft QFE. Any approach that is flown clean until the intermediate approach altitude has been left already, is called a low drag approach. 4.36 Non Precision Approach (NPA) (I) All these approaches have similar characteristics. In most cases distance for landing runway and related GP height are not exactly known. Level flight to MAP is required. Therefore the following points must be emphasized for this type of approach: 70 a. Step down asks for perfect pitch/power systematic. Knowledge of reference data helps stabilizing attitudes. Aim to stabilize and trim aircraft on first step down altitude in final approach configuration. It makes the remainder of the NPA easier and safer, especially on MDA. b. Calculate ROD for all steps as it can vary and fly each step level. Add 200 ft/min to calculated respective published ROD for nominal GP, thus taking you to intermediate step altitudes and to MDA early. Do not try to fly a NPA in one descent to MDA as an ILS approach as this leads to dive below MDA. Descend within ± 5° of final track only. Passing FAF or OM make time check according to procedure. c. For longer steps it is recommended to adjust the throttles and then having the hand away from throttles in order not to make too many corrections at the same time. d. MDA must be flown level at minimum blue line speed and stabilized to VDP/MAP. Clearly separate DA from MDA and VDP to MAP. 12.11.2006 SOP - Autore Roberto Sartori Flight Procedures Call out: e. “Approaching MDA” “High RPM” “MDA” “VDP” “MAP” The glide path angle from MAP to touchdown zone (TDZ) is usually steeper than 3°. Therefore calculate a visual descent point (VDP), where from you descend on a 3° glide path to touchdown zone (TDZ). Initiation of descent before VDP is anyway not allowed. Remark: If the different steps in the approach are DME defined, you can use this information to execute a continuous descent in real good meteorological conditions. In marginal weather apply the conventional way as described just before. 4.37 Visual Descent Point (I) During the visual phase of the non precision approach you desire a stable descent from the MDA to the landing gate. The VDP is the point where the final approach path (mostly 3° GP) crosses the MDA, or in other words, the point where you leave the MDA for the final approach and landing in case of contact. On some approach charts there is a “V” located on the profile view of the final approach to define the VDP. On a VOR or LOC approach the VDP will always be defined by a DME. It is a good practise to calculate a VDP if the chart does not indicate one. As a rule of thumb you need 1 NM for 300 ft descent on a 3° GP. After passing the VDP and still at the MDA you will be, in most cases, too steep for a normal final approach. “The VDP is not to be confused with the MAP”. At a go around, first proceed to MAP and then follow missed approach procedure. VDP Calculation with DME MDH 420 ft / DME 0 at THR 420 x 3 = 1.3 NM from THR DME not always read 0 (zero) at threshold. Extrapolate the correct DME reading at VDP from approach charts profile. SOP - Autore Roberto Sartori 12.11.2006 71 Flight Procedures 1. 2. 3. 4. VDP Calculation without DME Divide MDH by 10 Subtract MDH/10 from Time OM/Fix to THR Value resulting is time from OM/Fix to VDP From VDP set 600 ft/min ROD to track a glide path of 3° Sample: MDH 450 ft / time from OM to THR 2 min. MDH 450 : 10 = 45 seconds OM to THR 120” – 45” = 1 min 15 sec Round figure up onto next decimal. VDP can be replaced by VASI or PAPI alignment where available and visual glide slope judgement by look out to runway. Consider full flaps for landing from MAP, due to usually steep descent to TDZ. Note your calculated VDP for expected NPA onto the approach plate just beside the printed MAP definition on the lower section of the IAL. 4.38 NDB Considerations (I) Due to the often poor quality of the airborne and/or ground equipment a conservative approach procedure is recommended. Problems may arise during the line up and reversal procedure based on the mostly non compensated loop antennas; due to this design, the QDM during a turn is wrong and misleading. You have to wings-level the plane and wait for a short time (seconds) until the needle stabilizes to read QDM or QDR as required. Indication is correct in unaccelerated wings level, level flight only. In turns the needle points 5 to 15° false into direction of turn. Once more make a 45° intercept check during line up: • • • 72 Fly wings level at 45° intercept for a short time to read or calculate actual QDM/QDR Make small and systematic corrections to stay on published QDM/QDR Ask tower for QDM/QDR when established on final approach track, once ahead and once passed OM or substitute. 12.11.2006 SOP - Autore Roberto Sartori Flight Procedures Passing beacon on final approach, combined with step down and NAV setting change, drill: • • • • Time Check / Fly wind heading Pitch / Power Avionic setting – Configuration ATC Report – OM Check – Final Check Consider QDR after positive beacon passage only. Note: GPS shows even in turns (line up) correct QDM or QDR values. 4.39 Localizer Back course (I) Set front beam inbound track of ILS or LOC to have the correct deviation indication on your HSI. As the LOC transmitter is on the approach side of the RWY, the LOC is much more sensitive than during conventional ILS or LOC approach. Be aware of “Reverse Sensing” deviation indications when flying LOC outbound on a CDI. Approach Instrument ILS – LOC - VOR HSI HSI HSI Inbound Course Away from the needle Inbound Course To the needle CDI 4.40 Inbound Course To the needle Inbound Course To the needle CDI LOC Out bound Correction Inbound Course To the needle CDI LOC Back Course Setting Inbound Course Away from the needle Circling Approach (I) Approaches followed by a visual circling are non precision approaches. Circling approaches initially (instrument part of approach) can be executed as precision or non precision approach. They often take place under minimum weather conditions in strong winds, turbulence, bad visibility, rain, and snow. Be always prepared for circling approaches, especially on airports with instrument approach capability in one RWY direction only. In order to have capacity during the visual circling, to maintain required flight parameters and the correct lateral position to the landing runway, all SOP - Autore Roberto Sartori 12.11.2006 73 Flight Procedures configuration changes shall be completed latest when passing 500 ft above circling MDA. Past OM check and ATC report set mixtures rich and propeller controls to MAX. Past an ILS approach or visual circling continue level flight on circling MDA (standard 1000 ft AAE) until reaching VMC for break off or until passing MAP for go around. Anticipate HDG change when runway or field is in sight (ideal break off is 45°). Plan break off and fly downwind in parallel to runway. Do not climb and be alert not to miss the abeam threshold position. If you maintain downwind HDG too long, you might lose contact with RWY in marginal weather conditions. Be sure to be able to circle fully in VMC, otherwise perform a go around. Verify missed approach procedure out of downwind. Be aware of individual minima and configuration for circling approaches. Turn at 25° bank in visual circling. • • • • • • • • • • Fly instrument part of approach with Gear down and Flaps in approach position Initiate downwind descent on 3° glide path Start base turn at 45° offset to final approach track On base set flaps intermediate position Medium base altitude 500 - 600 ft AAE Speed with control wheel, ROD with power Established on final and glide, complete final check GP with control wheel, speed with power 300 ft AAE set propeller to MAX RPM When landing is assured set full flaps if required If visual contact to the ground and runway is lost while circling to land, the published MAPR shall be followed. If this is not possible, since the circling manoeuvre may be accomplished in more than one direction, an initial climbing turn toward the landing runway and overhead the aerodrome shall be made in order to establish the aircraft climbing on the prescribed missed approach course. 4.40.1 Visual Circuit (I) For visual circuits, after take off, maintain runway centre line up to 700 ft AAE, then start left turn with 25° bank climbing to 1000 ft AAE into downwind, respectively according to VAC and accelerate to V pattern. At the beginning of downwind set flaps approach, abeam touchdown zone lower gear and continue as for a Circling Approach. 74 12.11.2006 SOP - Autore Roberto Sartori Flight Procedures 4.41 Missed Approach Point (MAP) (I) An approach may not be continued beyond missed approach point unless at least one of the following visual references for the intended landing runway is distinctly visible and identified by the pilot: • • • • • • • • • See: 4.42 Elements of approach light system Threshold Threshold markings Threshold lights Threshold identification lights Visual glide slope indicator Touchdown zone lights Touchdown zone or touchdown zone markings Runway edge lights Other visual references accepted by authority JEPPESEN Terminal JAA Minima DA/MAP Action (I) Perform go around or continue for landing. For a landing out of a NPA drill pitch/power and set full flaps, and out of an ILS approach verify flap setting. Whenever a go around must be initiated at DA, a slight undershoot below DA is inevitable. 4.43 Aiming Point (AP) The pilot takes his aiming point on short final (below approximately 400 ft). The distance from threshold depends on runway length. The aiming point on a runway with instrument approach system could be at the 300 m marker, or at the first set of touchdown zone markings, on other runways at the first centre line stripe after runway numbers. Final Gate: Aiming Point at the beginning of the runway (see above), where the aircraft has to be fully established and stabilized. Landing Gate: Aiming Point at the end of runway, where the pilot leaves his aiming point at the beginning of the runway and starts rotation for landing flare and touchdown, combined with power reduction to idle. The landing gate is a transition from the beginning of the runway aiming point to the end of runway aiming point.

It is important to know, that any ground contact is not a visual cue and that this does not allow pilots to fly below minima. See also JEPPESEN Terminal JAA “Visual Reference”. 4.45 Landing, Touch down To achieve a safe landing you have to touchdown: • • • Within the allowed distance On centre line with a flight vector along the runway centre line At correct speed The selection of flap setting for touchdown depends on factors as runway length, weight, wind, and certified configurations defined in AFM. Usually use full flaps for touchdown. Upon visual contact follow VASI or PAPI and look for aiming point. Do not descend below glide slope, initially follow electronic GS, but rather early visual GP as the electronic GS gets too sensitive close to ground. 76 12.11.2006 SOP - Autore Roberto Sartori Flight Procedures Do not use VASI below 200 ft AGL. Arrange touchdown on an “Instrument runway” 300-600 m beyond the runway threshold and on other runways between aiming point and 150 m thereafter. Crossing runway threshold, maintain flight path towards aiming point. Close to ground when passing landing gate (approximately 50 ft AGL), reduce power slowly to idle and start horizontal flight with subsequent flare; set new aiming point. The actual height above the runway for power reduction depends on different factors like the actual speed that depends on wind component, weight, ice on structure and others. Do not hold the aircraft off ground too long and do not float down the runway. Better touch down aircraft onto touchdown zone at slightly excessive speed. Nose wheel must be off ground when main wheels touch down, which is at about 70 kias for a Seneca II. Touchdown on centre line and keep it until joining taxiway centre line. During the landing roll apply foreward pressure on the nose wheel and slight aileron deflection into the wind unless you have to apply short field landing procedures (see AFM). If centre line lights cause shocks to the nose wheel, taxi slightly offset. After nose wheel ground contact, except in a touch and go procedure, check brakes but avoid to blocking the wheels due to light weight on main landing gear, call out “brakes checked”, avoid continous braking and make time check as soon as taxi speed is stabilized. In case of crosswind align the aircraft axis with runway centre line before the flare or latest during the flare by applying rudder and opposite aileron to prevent the aircraft drifting off centre line. Maximum demonstrated crosswind is 17 kts for Seneca II. If touchdown gets too long, perform go around. 4.46 Landing Distance Depends on approach speed, height over threshold, glide path, configuration, wind. 4.47 Landing in Fog or blowing Snow (I) Precipitation or drifting snow in crosswind conditions may create a false impression of the direction of the movement of the aircraft, therefore giving the pilot an illusion of no drift when in fact there is a considerable drift present. SOP - Autore Roberto Sartori 12.11.2006 77 Flight Procedures No rule exists, but recommendations how to handle this problem are the following: a. b. c. 78 Make yourself aware of the existing situation Use runway lights for reference but use landing lights with caution Look well in front of the aircraft during touch down and landing roll 12.11.2006 SOP - Autore Roberto Sartori Extra Exercises 5 EXTRA EXERCISES 5.1 Go around A go around is the procedure giving you the possibility to discontinue an approach anytime until touchdown. Initially climb straight ahead on approach centre line thereafter follow immediately missed approach procedure or other clearance received by ATC. Clearly call out “Go around” and never revise this decision ! Do not over boost engines. It is of outmost importance to be instantly familiar with MAPR and to inform ATC without delay about missed approach, especially where ATC radar service is provided in order to conform to radar vectors instead of to the published missed approach procedure.

For this reason, the initial part of the procedure drill may differ in the following way: 5.2 1. Wait for power response before rotating to reference go around pitch 2. If required let the aircraft touchdown until power is available and safe speed for flying is regained 3.

All aeroplane lights have to be operative according to MEL before flight. Remember to make a pre flight check with an extensive check on the lighting system of the aeroplane and extra equipment. Have access to more than one flashlight. Restrict use of bright lights and any contact with brightly illuminated areas before flying as to favour eye adaptation to darkness. Use VASI, PAPI or glide path but train visual GP judgement by reference to runway appearance without use of VASI, PAPI or GP indicator. Consider RWY length, width and slope carefully due to influence of illusion. Keep lights inside aeroplane as dim as possible for safe operation to get best view outside. For judgement of height for flare, try to look down the runway as far as possible. Review on chart airport lights system. 5.5 Steep turn Look out before initiation and call out “Left Clear and/or Right Clear”. Use 45° bank, maintain altitude. Increase back pressure and, for speed controlled steep turn, power by 4/5 inches to maintain IAS when rolling through 30° bank (±100 ft, ±5 kts). Start roll out approximately 20° before reference HDG. Apply smooth and accurate corrections. No power change has to be performed for a power controlled steep turn. Remember: • • Until 30° bank control altitude by first elevator back pressure and second maintain a precise and constant bank After 30° bank control altitude by first maintaining a constant and precise bank angle and second by elevator back pressure to compensate the lift lost at great bank.

SOP - Autore Roberto Sartori 12.11.2006 85 System 6.6 Autopilot/Flight Director (AP/FD) (M) Many years of experience show that the use of AP/FD is of utmost importance for the safe conduct of a flight. Use AP/FD during school and examination flight unless otherwise instructed. All system modes must be known. Programme FD via AP panel mode. Ground Test: AP mode panel test switch press, check: • Annunciation mode panel light, all on • 6 audio signals (servo function) FD on/Press HDG sync. on HIS/Engage ALT – AP on, check: • Disconnect AP by red disconnect button • 11 AP flash light on annunciation mode panel Mode Selection: Cruise: • FD – HDG - NAV – NAV GPS – ALT Climb: • FD – Set correct pitch for speed by CWS – HDG or • FD – Set correct pitch for speed by control wheel switch – HDG Descend: • FD – Set correct pitch by CWS – HDG or • FD – Set correct pitch for speed by control wheel switch – HDG In case of emergency immediately disengage autopilot. Overpowering the AP can jam the clutches controls resulting in a dangerous trimmed attitude. For detailed information refer to manual. When the AP is engaged any light pressure on the trim switch will disengage the AP, the only warning is the AP light flashing which is vary difficult to detect. Do not give too much confidence on the function of AP unless is constantly kept under control by active scanning. 6.7 Auto Pilot/Flight Director Operation (M) As a principle call out any AP/FD programming changes.

Highly recommended to reduce workload and noise in all other phases of flight. 6.14 Intercooler (if equipped) (M) Detonation, shock cooling and low MP at high RPM operation are contributing factors to engine damage on turbocharged engines over which pilot has control. Detonation is caused by excessive heat and pressure in the combustion chamber. This can be result of over boosting, mixture too lean, operating the engine in a warm environment or any combination of the above. One of the main causes of detonation is high inlet air temperature due to inlet air compression by turbocharger. This problem is greatly reduced by intercooling. At any engine power, an intercooler reduces all engine operation temperatures. The intercooled charge air, being more dense, results in more fuel being burned and thus more horsepower for a given MP and RPM. Therefore it is necessary to set MP below red line for take off as not to exceed rated engine horse power. A gauge shows inlet/outlet and difference temperatures of left or right engines intercooler. 88 12.11.2006 SOP - Autore Roberto Sartori System 6.15 Mixture - Leaning Procedures and Power Reduction General: Take off and climb Rich Final approach and landing Rich Touch and go, go around Rich VFR Circuit Rich Descend Ö Enrich mixtures as altitude decrease, maintain EGT approximately 1’300° F ATC 810 Max EGT at and above 75% power Max EGT below 75% power In descend maintain EGT of Max CHT Seneca II 45% - 55% - 65% cruise power lean to 25° rich of peak EGT, but do not exceed 1650° F 75% cruise power lean to 14.5 gph but do not exceed 1525° F EGT Above 75% cruise power mixture should be full rich 1’500 ° F 1’650° F 1’300° F 475° F Make smooth power reductions by 3 inches at a time only, then wait 1 minute to reduce by another 3 inches and so on.

Mistake in manipulation ? Circuit breakers ? Mistake in reading or interpretation ? Are other systems related ? Start trouble shooting by application of system knowledge and checklists Whenever possible apply AFM/POH checklists. After the completion of checklist work you have to think over consequences regarding the continuation of the flight. 7.2.5 Electrical: For how long will electrical power be available. Flight instrument, COM, NAV, indications and operation of gear, icing conditions, and all other related system. Fuel: Remaining usable fuel ? In flight fuel re planning, in flight fuel management, fuel in balance, cross feed. Hydraulic: Abnormal system operation ? Required time for safe operation Flaps: Clean approach and landing at what speed ? Vs clean x 1,3 but at least Vyse (blue line) Gear: Eventually early operation to verify cockpit indications ! Electrically operated landing gears require much more time for manual extension Be aware of operational consequences Last you have to decide if the flight can be continued or it has to be discontinued or diverted by considering all factors. As rule of thumb remember that MEP have marginal operational capacity in OEI or system failure related problem. Remain polarized to the more conservative side. 7.3 Malfunctions Fly, Navigate and treat failures/malfunctions with systematic. Basic documentation for handling of abnormal and emergencies are AFM or POH with checklists. 92 12.11.2006 SOP - Autore Roberto Sartori Abnormal/Emergency Malfunction covered by checklist: • • • • • • • Call out failure/malfunction Perform by heart drill items Refer to abnormal/emergency checklist Mention standby/replacing system and setting Verify possible system related reason of failure; apply common sense Brief actual flight condition and intention, depending on IMC, VMC, fuel Inform ATC if required (Distress or Emergency call) and ask for assistance if needed Malfunction not covered by checklist: • • • • • 7.4 Call out failure/malfunction Mention standby/replacing system and setting Verify possible system related reason of failure; apply common sense Brief actual flight condition and intention, depending on IMC, VMC, fuel Inform ATC if required (Distress or Emergency call) and ask for assistance if needed Engine Failure (M) A failed piston engine’s propeller produces drag by disc effect. It is important to feather a bad engine's propeller as soon as practical. Power loss is 50%, but loss in performance even with a feathered propeller, of a Seneca II in single engine operation is about 80%! To be ready for training, be familiar with AFM, systems, propeller P-factor, critical engine, vital speeds. In case of engine failure during climb, cruise, descend (above 400 ft AGL until final approach) perform P P A A. POWER PERFORMANCE ASSESSMENT ACTION As soon as the aircraft attitude is stabilized, the pilot has to get view over the aircraft status. If possible he will connect the autopilot. Then required and possible corrections to the by heart operation are done by the use of checklist. The operational status has to be defined as soon as checklist work is completed. At engine problems or any indications of fire or smoke, the pilot will declare emergency or call MAYDAY and land on the nearest airport (VMC/VFR – IMC/IFR). Fly a standard approach in case of abnormality and do not find out or try any new procedure. Lower the gear when a steady descent for landing is possible. SOP - Autore Roberto Sartori 12.11.2006 93 Abnormal/Emergency 7.4.1 Phase of Flight Regarding engine failures, the flight is divided into 3 phases: Take off: Begin take off roll to the first power reduction (above 400 ft AAE) Flight: Beyond first power reduction until FAF or FAP Approach: FAF or FAP inbound to landing The basic philosophy always shall be P P A A. The main difference in these phases is the higher workload during take off and approach. Therefore apply a shortened P P A A in those phases to keep greatest possible capacity for the guidance of the aircraft. 7.4.2 Engine Failure - Take-off The decision point depends on available runway length and obstacle clearance. The last chance for a take off stop is between lift off and gear operation. In case of a reject, both throttles have to be retarded fully to avoid excessive yaw motion. Brake according to available distance, avoid blocked wheels apply AFM technique. Required SID climb gradient have to be flown. If the required gradient single engine cannot be fulfilled and no VMC escape routing is possible, the pilot must be familiar with a safe alternative procedure in IMC. In the case of an engine failure during take off, little time is left to establish a configuration that permits flight continuation. As take-off power is already set, drag can be reduced by retracting the gear and feathering the propeller. If you decide to continue, drill as follows: POWER Check Take off power set: Ø 39.5”/2500 94 PERFORMANCE Gear UP Flaps UP Blue line speed Ø Check Performance 12.11.2006 ASSESSMENT ACTION Analyse the problem and Identify the failed engine: Inoperative Engine: 1. Throttle Close Propeller Feather 2. 3. Fire/mixt. cut off Ø Dead foot dead engine. 4. Ø Fly the ACFT SOP - Autore Roberto Sartori Abnormal/Emergency 7.4.2.1 Drill Example “ENGINE FAILURE” Power “Take off power set” Performance “Gear UP – Flaps UP – Min Blue line – Performance Check” Assessment “Left/Right engine failed” Action “L/R Throttle closed – L/R Prop feather – Mixture cut off-Fire” Thereafter do not initiate any further actions until reaching safe altitude. At the engine failure the pitch has to be lowered for Vxse approximately 5° ANU (close at Vmc!) and heading kept by foot pressure; when clear of obstacles the speed shall be increased to Vyse. Climb to safe altitude, set MCP and apply emergency checklist. Engine failure after take off is one of the most critical situations you could encounter. Drill has to fit perfectly with no mistake! Train drills in the cockpit, at home in suitable places, even when stressed by other influences. Single engine climb performance is very poor (+200/+300 ft/min) and calls for perfect flying. Gear drag equals roughly -300 ft/min and un-feathered propeller drag equals roughly -300 ft/min. 7.4.3 Engine Failure - Flight Make distinction between sudden loss of power and slowly developing loss of power, identified by vibrations or instrument readings. A clear identification of the failed engine makes an intentional power reduction possible. The application of the procedure varies at the point of setting power as follows: Sudden loss of power: Both Mixtures – Propellers - Throttles are moved together to increase power as desired Slowly loss of power: The levers of the good engine are set for increased power only, this procedure will also be applicable in case of fire/smoke SOP - Autore Roberto Sartori 12.11.2006 95 Abnormal/Emergency In case of engine failure apply P P A A in respect of AFM or POH procedures: POWER PERFORMANCE ASSESSMENT ACTION Apply max or required power in sequence: Gear UP or as req.

Set rudder trim to neutral pressure for final approach and landing to avoid rudder input to the inoperative engine. Do it latest at 500 ft AAE. The less power changes you make, the easier you control the aircraft, but, do not hesitate to apply large power changes if needed. In order to reduce required corrections, you may allow a speed tolerance of +10/-5 kts. However, at the landing gate, the correct speed must be stabilized. If possible, select a landing runway that permits touchdown with less than full flaps. At an approach and landing with less than full flaps, you have less configuration changes, less power changes and therefore less asymmetrical forces, but a better performance for final approach. 7.4.4.2 Precision Approach Select flaps approach when approaching GP, then lower the gear and follow GP. Check ball and latest at 500 ft AAE trim rudder neutral. 7.4.4.3 Non precision Approach Select flaps 10° when established on final approach track and lower the gera shortly before FAF. As soon as continuous descent and landing are assured set flaps 25° as an option. Check ball and latest at 500 ft AAE trim rudder neutral. 7.4.4.4 Circling Approach Perform IMC part with flaps approach only and continue later on with visual circuit systematic.

Therefore, any sign of fire and smoke shall be treated as a top emergency situation. An engine on fire still produces thrust and gives you the chance of an assessment to verify which engine in fact is on fire. For sure you add power to the good engine only and shut down the fire one. The same procedures are applicable in cases of loss of oil pressure or high oil temperature as well. While you handle the engine fire on ground, instruct your passengers to open seat belts and as soon as the propellers no longer turn, to evacuate the aircraft. If you got the fire out in flight, go through the emergency checklist and prepare for a landing on closest suitable airport or emergency field. Should the fire be uncontrolled, start emergency descent and emergency landing. Maybe you can shut down the fire or at least dim it by increasing significantly the airspeed. 100 12.11.2006 SOP - Autore Roberto Sartori General Information 8 GENERAL INFORMATION 8.1 Tolerances 8.2 Altitude / Abnormal conditions ±100 ft / ±150 ft Minimum altitudes Ö MEA, - MOCA – MORA - MSA -100 ft Maximum altitudes Ö MAA +100 ft STAR approach segments without DA/MDA -100 ft Holding entry procedure ±5° Homing - Tracking ±5° OM ±100 ft DA (small undershoot at go around in tolerance) -0 ft MDA instrument part -0 ft / +50 ft MDA visual part in a circling approach -0 ft / +100 ft VOR/NDB/VDF approach procedure ±5° ILS Localizer Half scale ILS GS ½ dot Fly up 1 dot Fly down HDG given/HDG during abnormal, steep turns ±5° / ±10° Ordered or prescribed speed / speed during abnormal ±5 kt / ±15 kt DME arc ±0,5 NM Lugano IFR Procedures (I) All flight student operating on IFR ATC Flight Plan in Lugano must go through the Lugano Qualification training. “Avilù Lugano IFR Qualification Syllabus” is the master document to be used. The trainee has to follow the complete programme, theory and practical training. The flight programmes can be done at once or within the IR education. After the completed Lugano IFR Qualification the instructor has to endorse with Avilù Sticker the training in the trainee logbook and inform the Lugano Airport Authority. The Lugano IFR Qualification must be done before the final IR Skill Test in order to fulfil all operational requirements during a Skill Test. All trainees have an endorsed operational weather minima restriction of: • • • Meteorological visibility report not less than 5’000 m Ceiling reported not les than 2’000 ft Any weather phenomena like Ö RA, DZ, SN, TS, SH, ++HZ, ++BR and “South stau” weather condition. SOP - Autore Roberto Sartori 12.11.2006 101 General Information 8.2.1 Lugano Operational Tips Lugano approach procedures require wide overview, extended mental flexibility, knowledge of the aeroplane flying characteristics, great flying skill, good sound airmanship and a deep knowledge of micro climate in the lake region from Locarno Lake to Iseo Lake. In case you wish or you have to perform a holding at Pinik inform Milano Radar about your request in order to have a coordinated separation with Milano Malpensa departure procedures. Have an active look out in the region of Pinik and Caldo due to heavy Glider and Hand Glider activity. Perform “Descent check”, “Approach check” and all paper work well in advance before reaching Pinik. Do not start the approach unless the clearance is confirmed by Lugano Tower and/or Milano Radar Approach. Make all turns respecting the minimum requirement bank and speed. Remember you will not have any back up during turn about your turning radius. Due to the high climb gradient for departure use take off power up to the engine limitation. The speed must be selected accordingly Vx or Vy. Monitor engine parameters in particular CHT and oil temperature. Never take off with minimum weather, as rule of thumb for MEP use weather minimum to make a VMC OEI aerodrome circuit and to perform a OEI local flight along the lake to join the circuit. For SEP to have weather minima to make a glide descend to a suitable area in VMC. Most probably at MDA/MAP the pilot is not able to see the runway or component. The pilot is authorized to leave the MDA with ground contact and with sufficient visual cues to maintain a proper aircraft attitude with visual references. 8.2.2 Lugano Approach Procedures The use of AP is highly recommended. The programmeming must be: • • NAV, for lateral guidance Pitch with CWS, for correct vertical speed Do not use approach mode since the AP will follow GS. The step down has priority over GS indication. 102 12.11.2006 SOP - Autore Roberto Sartori General Information The pilot, during the approach, leaving Pinik must call out all the limiting steps with the Next Step Philosophy “Pinik 8 miles 6’000 ft, next Caldo 5.7 miles at 5’000ft”. When leaving Pinik make a time check to have a back up in case your DME fails. In case of go around be conservative when adding power due to the low temperature of CHT. Due to the high noise sensitivity area surrounding the airport, during night perform as much as possible the IGS 01 approach. Do not circle or make visual approaches on runway 19. Pilots are allowed to leave Pinik only when the weather allows a landing from MDA with 2,5% climb gradient. 8.2.2.1 Navigation setting Use MAL VOR on NAV 2 as a back up approaching Pinik for line up on localizer, and have the GNS 430 programmed with the IGS procedure. When established on localizer both NAV must be on IGS. The NDB can be set on NOV NDB or MAL Locator. 8.2.2.2 Configuration IGS 01 Before Pinik the final configuration (Gear Down - Full Flaps) must be set and the final check must be performed. IGS 01 Circling 19 Before Pinik the final configuration (Gear Down - Full Flaps) must be set. When levelling at MDA set Flaps approach. Reset final configuration on circuit, make “Final check” when on final. IGS 01 Circling 19 At 3’600 ft Make a clean approach. When levelling at MDA set Flaps approach. Set final configuration on circuit, make “Final check” when on final. Take care about engine cooling due to low power setting. Visual Approach Perform the procedure clean, when on the circuit set configuration according a normal VMC aerodrome circuit. Take care about engine cooling due to low power setting. SOP - Autore Roberto Sartori 12.11.2006 103 General Information 8.3 Lugano VFR Procedures Lugano airport is a mixture of different operators. From airline operation to helicopter, school flight VFR/IFR, aerobatics, glider in the airspace, military and general aviation traffic from the little turboprop engine to a medium jet. Careful study of the AIP 1 VAC and a general knowledge to the IFR routes make a safer and relaxed flight in and out of Lugano airspace. 8.3.1 Aerodrome Circuits The AIP 2 VAC report a standard aerodrome circuit for departure and arrival. In case training aerodrome circuit are planned as an exercise, the student has to follow the modify circuit as approved by the airport authority. The modified circuits can be used only by Avilù flight training operation. 8.3.2 ATC Procedures and Tips Lugano ATC controller required the following: • • • • • • • • 104 Request an ATC clearance when outbound/inbound route do not comply with standard VAC route. ”…. Request outbound route Morcote - Capo Lago ….” ”…. Request outbound route Noranco - Melide ….” ”…. Request outbound route Morcote – Porto Ceresio ….” The outbound route to E after take off runway 19 has to follow aerodrome circuit until abeam threshold 01 (Lake of Muzzano). The ATC controller is responsible only in the manoeuvring area. Student Solo flight needs a sufficient RTF procedures knowledge in order to be fitted within the traffic situation. In case student run in a difficult understanding in flight the RTF language can be change to non standard Italian communications. When making the first call inform about a full programme or route planned, respect the flight notification or ATC FPL route entry. Never join base leg unless the preceding traffic is positively identified and a proper separation can be maintained. When the training mission cove aerodrome circuits, at the first call indicate the aerodrome circuit altitude. Indicate if full runway is used for take off on the first call. 12.11.2006 SOP - Autore Roberto Sartori General Information 8.4 Passenger Relations ROD should not exceed 800 ft/min (500 ft/min pressurized cabin) to provide passenger comfort. Recommend passengers to have seat belt on from starting taxi until stopping at parking position. They must use belts during taxi, take off, landing, in turbulence as well as in abnormal and emergency situations. Express your wish of having a non smoking flight. Smoking is prohibited during taxi, take off, landing, in turbulence and in abnormal or emergency situations.
