In the LENP(0.08.00) List of Effective Normal Pages, when recto and verso are printed, each
sheet is represented by 2 lines :
- the first line concerns the recto.
- the second line concerns the verso.
If only recto sheet is printed, it is represented by only one line.
Then for each sheet, we find the validity line with an expression containing one or several numbers
which represent FSN (Fleet Serial Number) and registration number of aircraft for which this sheet
is applicable.
To understand the effectivity of the sheets, you must read :
Example: XFA - XFC = XFA to XFC --> 3 aircraft valid
XFA,XFC = XFA and XFC --> only 2 aircraft valid
In CRT (0.10.00), we find the list of fleet aircraft with FSN, MSN (Manufacturer Serial Number) and
registration number.

Seat position sight gauge may be used for proper setting seat height and fore/aft position.
It assures to the crew a correct view of instrument panels as well as runway environment,
especially when flying low visibility instrument approaches.
This indicator is composed of three colored balls. Center ball is red and is horizontally
shifted compared with the other two white balls.
For proper seat position, respective white ball is obscured by the red one.
COCKPIT PHILOSOPHY
Status and failure indications are integrated in the pushbuttons (PB). PB positions and
illuminated indications are based on a general concept with the light out" condition for
normal continuous operation according to the basic rule.
With few exceptions, the light illuminates to indicate a failure or an abnormal condition.
Whenever possible, the failure alert is integrated in the PB which has to be operated for
corrective action.
R Some PB (such as ACW...) are painted in amber to help crew to find them in case of smoke

20.1 DESCRIPTION
The TCAS is an on-board collision avoidance and traffic situation display system with
computer processing to identify and display potential and predicted collision targets,
and issue vertical resolution advisories on the pilot's and copilot's TCAS vertical speed
indicator (TCAS VSI) to avoid conflict. From the transponder replies, TCAS determines
relative altitude, range, and bearing of any aircraft equipped with a mode C or S
transponder. From this, TCAS will determine the threat using standardized algorithms.
Outputs from the TCAS System are voice messages and visual displays on the TCAS
VSI's for Resolution Advisories (TCAS RA's) and Traffic Advisories (TCAS TA's).
The TA is informative and indicates potential threats. The RA displays a threat resolution
in the form of a vertical maneuver if the potential conflict is projected to occur.
Threat aircraft with mode A transponders will not provide altitude information : therefore
TCAS will not issue resolution advisories for these threats. The TCAS will not detect
aircraft without transponders.
The TCAS is a single system installation consisting of :
- one TCAS processor,
- two high resolution bearing antennae (one top mounted and one bottom mounted),
- two mode S transponders,
- two modified TCAS VSIs each integrating traffic advisory display and vertical speed
information,
- one pylon mounted TCAS control box,
- two overhead speakers for voice messages and associated wiring.
Following definitions are intended to be used for TCAS operations :
(A) Advisory :
A message given to the pilot containing information relevant to collision avoidance.
(B) Corrective resolution advisory :
A resolution advisory that advises the pilot to deviate from current vertical speed,
e.g., CLIMB when the aircraft is levelled.
(C) Intruder :
A target that has satisfied the TCAS threat detection logic and thus requires a traffic
advisory.
(D) Mode S :
Type of secondary surveillance radar (SSR) equipment which provides replies to
mode A and Mode C interrogations and discrete address interrogations from the
ground or air.
(E) Preventive resolution advisory :
A resolution advisory that advises the pilot to avoid certain deviations from the
current vertical speed because certain vertical speed restrictions exist.
(F) Proximate traffic :
Nearby aircraft within "850 ft and 6NM which are neither an RA nor a TA.
(G) Resolution advisory (RA) :
Oral and visual information provided to the flight crew to avoid a potential collision.
(H) Threat :
A target that has satisfied the threat detection logic and thus requires a resolution
advisory.
(I) Traffic advisory (TA) :
Information given to the pilot pertaining to the position of another aircraft in the
immediate vicinity. The information contains no resolution information.
20.2 CONTROL
TCAS CONTROL BOX
20.3 OPERATION
The TCAS provides two levels of threat advisories :
If the traffic gets between 20 and 48 seconds (depending on aircraft altitude) of projected
Closest Point of Approach (CPA), it is then considered an intruder, and an aural and visual
traffic advisory is issued. This level calls attention to a developing collision threat using
the traffic advisory display and the voice message, TRAFFIC TRAFFIC". It permits
mental and physical preparation for a possible maneuver to follow, and assists the pilot in
achieving visual acquisition of the threat aircraft.
If the intruder gets between 15 and 35 seconds (depending on aircraft altitude), of CPA, it
is considered a threat and an aural and visual resolution advisory is issued. This level
provides a recommanded vertical maneuver using modified TCAS VSI's and voice
messages to provide adequate vertical separation from the threat aircraft, or prevents
initiation of a maneuver that would place the TCAS aircraft in jeopardy.
The TCAS resolution advisories are annunciated by the following voice messages, as
appropriate :
A CLIMB, CLIMB" :
(Climb at the rate depicted by the green (fly to) arc on the TCAS VSI).
B "DESCEND, DESCEND" :
(Descend at the rate depicted by the green (fly to) arc.)
C "MONITOR VERTICAL SPEED" :
Initial preventive RAs (adjust vertical speed to a value within the illuminated green
arc).
D "MAINTAIN VERTICAL SPEED, MAINTAIN" :
(Non crossing maintain rate RAs (corrective)).
E "MAINTAIN VERTICAL SPEED, CROSSING MAINTAIN" :
(Altitude crossing, maintain rate RAs (corrective)).
F "CLEAR OF CONFLICT" :
(Range is increasing, and separation is adequate, return to assigned clearance).
G "CLIMB, CROSSING CLIMB, CLIMB, CROSSING CLIMB" :
(Climb at the rate depicted by the green (fly to) arc on the TCAS VSI). Safe separation
will best be achieved by climbing through the threat's flight path.
H "ADJUST VERTICAL SPEED, ADJUST" :
(Adjust vertical speed to a value within the illuminated green arc)
I "DESCEND, CROSSING DESCEND, DESCEND, CROSSING DESCEND" :
(Descend at the rate depicted by the green (fly to) arc on the TCAS VSI) safe
separation will best be achieved by descending through the intruder's flight path.
The following voice messages annunciate enhanced TCAS maneuvers when the initial
TCAS RA does not provide sufficient vertical separation. The tone and inflexion must
constate increased urgency.
A
"INCREASE DESCENT, INCREASE DESCENT" :
(descend at the rate depicted by the green (fly to) arc on the TCAS VSI). Received
after DESCEND" advisory, and indicates additional descent rate required to achieve
safe vertical separation from a maneuvering threat aircraft.
B
INCREASE CLIMB, INCREASE CLIMB" :
(climb at the rate depicted by the green (fly to) arc on the VSI). Received after CLIMB"
advisory, and indicates additional climb rate required to achieve safe vertical
separation from a maneuvering threat aircraft.
C
CLIMB-CLIMB NOW, CLIMB-CLIMB NOW" :
(climb at the rate depicted by the green (fly to) arc on the TCAS VSI). Received after a
DESCENT" resolution advisory and indicates a reversal in sense is required to
achieve safe vertical separation from a maneuvering threat aircraft.
D
DESCEND-DESCEND NOW, DESCEND-DESCEND NOW" :

30.1 DESCRIPTION
(See schematic p7/8)
Each control column mechanically drives the associated elevator and, through a pitch
coupling mechanism, the other elevator and the opposite control column.
In case of jamming, pitch control will be recovered by applying on both control columns a
differential force (52daN) disengaging the pitch coupling system.
The non affected channel allows the aircraft to be operated safety. System recoupling has
to be performed on ground.
Pitch uncoupling generates PITCH DISCONNECT" red alert.
Control column travel : 11.25º up, 6.75º down.
Elevators travel : 23ºup, 13º down
R Elevators automatic tab travel 60 % of the pitch control course.
Trim tab travel, displayed on the pitch trim position indicator is added to the automatic tab
travel.
Elevators trim controlled tab travel : 9º up, 4º down
Full pitch trim travel requires about 30s in normal and in STBY control.
A stick pusher and a stick shaker are provided, preventing the aircraft from reaching a
critical angle of attack. When the detected incidence becomes too high, the MFC sends a
signal to an electric actuator which shakes the control column at stall alert thresholds.
If angle of attack keeps increasing, a further threshold is reached and the MFC activates
the stick pusher ; the complete pitch control linkage assembly is pushed forward.
Note : There are two stick shakers, one for each control column but only one stick pusher
actuator located on the captain pitch channel. In case of pitch uncoupling when the
pusher triggering angle of attack is reached, only the captain control column is
pushed forward.

The Enhanced Ground Proximity Warning System (EGPWS) provides visual and aural
alerts in case of dangerous flight path conditions which would result in inadvertent ground
contact if maintained.
The EGPWS performs the following alert modes :
- Basic GPWS modes
. Mode 1 :- excessive descent rate
. Mode 2 - excessive terrain closure rate
. Mode 3 - altitude loss after take-off
. Mode 4 - unsafe terrain clearance
. Mode 5 - below glideslope
. Mode 6 - altitude callouts
- Enhanced modes :
. Terrain Clearance Floor (TCF)
. Terrain Awareness & Display (TAD)
The system includes :
- one EGPWS computer
- two GPWS/GS" lights illuminated when alert is activated
- one FAULT/OFF" light and a selector dedicated to basic GPWS part
- one TERR" pushbutton dedicated to enhanced mode
- two DSP SEL" pushbuttons for display selection on EFIS
To operate, the system requires data supply from ADC1, ILS2, Radio Altimeter, AHRS1,
R GNSS or EGPWS internal GPS card, WX Radar, flaps position transmitter and gear lever
position transmitter. The system provides SGU1 & 2 with terrain data to perform display on
EFIS.
ALERT MODES
If the aircraft penetrates the outer envelope, the SINK RATE" voice alert is generated
and the red GPWS" warning lights illuminate.
If the aircraft penetrates the inner envelope, the PULL UP" voice alert is generated and
the red GPWS" warning lights illuminate.
This mode does not depend on the aircraft configuration.
When the aircraft penetrates the envelope, the TERRAIN - TERRAIN" voice alert is
generated and the red GPWS" warning lights illuminate.
If the aircraft continues to penetrate the envelope, the PULL UP" voice alert is now

60.1 DESCRIPTION
(See schematic p11/12)
Using information provided by a constellation of 24 satellites (the HT 1000 is
able to track up to 12 satellites at a time), GNSS is an automatic tridimensional
(latitude, longitude, altitude) location and navigation means. It also uses data
recorded in a data base.
The data base is stored in the NPU and is updated every 28 days on the ground
using a specific data loader. The effective date periods are displayed on the
MCDU IDENT page.
The navigation is normally performed using the GPS sensor (GPS mode). In the
case where the GPS position becomes unavailable, the HT 1000 reverts to
DME-DME mode, if the radio coverage allows it. If not, the dead reckoning mode (DR)
is used like a back-up utilizing true airspeed, heading and the last
computed wind data.
FUNCTIONS
HT 1000 is capable of performing all the functions associated with the great circle
navigation.
It mainly allows to perform:
- "Direct To" navigation
- Flight plan navigation
- Navigation to nearest airport (or nearest VOR, NDB...)
- Vertical navigation (non coupled to auto pilot)
- Non precision approach
To know all the functions available, refer to the table of contents of the HT 1000
pilot's guide.
60.2 CONTROLS
HT 1000 CONTROLS
The MCDU is the pilot interface for operation and data entry of the HT 1000 and

R The engine is a PW 127E certified for a 2400 SHP max take off rating. However, in normal
operation, take off rating will be 2160 SHP with an automatic power increase to 2400 SHP
(Reserve Take Off rating RTO) in case of other engine failure.
Power setting is characterized by constant power lever and condition lever positions. The
power adapted to the flight phase is selected by the pilot through a power management
selector.
The engine comprises two spool gas generators driving a six blade propeller via a free
turbine/concentric shaft/reduction gear box assembly. Propeller regulation is
electronically controlled.
R The propeller is a HS 568 F.
- Diameter : 3.93 m (12.9 ft)
- Rotation : clockwise (looking forward)
- 100% NP : 1200 RPM
- Weight : 180 kg.
The engine accessories are mounted on two accessory gear boxes, one driven by the HP
spool, and one by the propeller reduction gear box.
- Includes a stepper motor which adjusts the flow controlled by the hydromechanical
channel, in accordance with commands transmitted by the EEC.
- Ensures engine shutdown (HP fuel S/O).
- Delivers a motive flow to the fuel tank jet pump.
ENGINE ELECTRONIC CONTROL (EEC)
- Regulates a given power, by controlling the stepper motor, to obtain a predicted
torque as a function of :
D the power lever position
D the PWR MGT selector position
D flight conditions
D the position status of the bleed air valves
Note : Operating line with EEC ON may be placed above or below the HMU BASE
R LAW depending on weather conditions.
- Ensures minimum propeller speed control, on ground and at low power (see
propeller governing).
- Delivers, in case of engine failure at take-off, automatic uptrimmed take-off power
to the valid engine (ATPCS) by responding to the signal generated by the
Auto-Feather Unit (AFU) of the failed engine.
- Controls the modulated opening of the Handling Bleed valve (HBV) so as to ensure
correct LP compressor operation.
PROPELLER VALVE MODULE (PVM)
- At high power, controls the propeller maximum speed Np, according to the PWR
MGT selection.
- Controls propeller pitch at low power and when using reverse.
- Ensures low pitch through a solenoid (when PLA are below FI position).
PWR MGT SELECTOR
LINE A : One engine out operation
LINE B : Normal TO or CLB
LINE C : CRZ
According to the rating selected on the PWR MGT rotary selector, with the PL at a
set point, the EEC commands a determined engine power and therefore a torque value
(for a given propeller speed).
Thus, the torque which is the engine control parameter, is controlled (with PLA
constant) in all ambient conditions.

TCAS
LIMITATIONS
The limitations in Part 2.01 are applicable with the addition of the following:
1-- TCAS operation is approved for use in VFR meteorological conditions (VMC) and
IFR meteorological conditions (IMC).
2-- The pilot must not initiate evasive maneuvers using information from the traffic
R display only or from a traffic advisory (TCAS TA) only.
These displays and advisories are intended only for assistance in visually locating
the traffic and lack the resolution necessary for use in evasive maneuvering.
3-- Compliance with TCAS resolution advisory is required unless the pilot considers it
unsafe to do so.
However, maneuvers which are in the opposite direction of the resolution advisory
(TCAS RA) are extremely hazardous and are prohibited unless it is visually
determined they are the only means to assure safe separation.
CAUTION : Once a non crossing RA has been issued the vertical speed should be
accurately adjusted to comply with the RA, in order to avoid negating
the effectiveness of a co-- ordinated maneuvre by the intruder.
4-- Evasive maneuvring should be made with the autopilot disengaged, and limited to
the minimum required to comply with the RA. The pilot must promptly return to the
previous ATC clearance when the TCAS “CLEAR OF CONFLICT” voice message is
announced.
5-- Prior to perform RA’s climb or increase climb, the crew should select the appropriate
engine power setting on the power MGT rotary selector and, if necessary, manually
adjust CLs.
6-- When a climb or increase climb RA occurs with the airplane in the landing
configuration or in the go-- around phase, a normal procedure of go-- around should
be followed including the appropriate power increase and configuration changes.
TCAS (cont'd)
7- Because of the limited number of inputs to TCAS for determination of aircraft
performance inhibits, there are instances where inhibiting RAs would be
appropriate, however it is not possible to do so. In these cases, TCAS may command
maneuvers which may significantly reduce stall margins or result in stall warning.
Conditions where this may occur include operations with a bank angle (wings level is
assumed), weight, altitude and temperature combinations outside those noted
below, leaving aircraft in landing configuration during climb RA on approach, engine
out operations, and abnormal configurations such as landing gear not retracted or
stick pusher/shaker failure.
The table below entitled Flight Envelope in which climb resolution advisory can be
accomplished without stick pusher/shaker activation" outlines the parameters used
in the development of the performance inhibits. This table does not consider worst
turboprop flight conditions especially operations using minimum operating
airspeeds as are sometimes required (e.g. obstacle clearance, ATC constraints). In
all cases, stall warning must be given precedence over climb RA commands.
NOTE : TCAS is viewed as a supplement to the pilot who, with the aid of the
ATC system, has the primary responsibility for avoiding mid-air
collisions.

- complies with TSO C 129 and TSO C115B,
- is installed in compliance with FAA AC 20-129, AC 20-130A, AC 20-138 and DGAC CRI
S-9902,
- has been demonstrated to meet the requirements of JAA TGL no2,REV1 and FAA AC
20-138 and FAA Notice N8110-60.
- has been demonstrated to meet the P-RNAV requirements of JAA TGL no10.
2 - LIMITATIONS
Compliance with the above regulations does not constitute an operational
approval/authorization to conduct operations. Aircraft operators must apply to their
Authority for such an approval/authorization.
- The HT1000 pilot's guide must be available on board.
- The system must operate with HT 1000-060 software version or any later approved
version.
- The approval of the system is based on the assumption that the navigation database
has been validated for intended use.
- This equipment is approved for use as :
- primary navigation means for oceanic and remote operations when only one long
range navigation system is required.
- supplemental navigation means, en route, in terminal area and for non precision
approach operations until the missed approach point with respect of the MDA.
NOTE : Stand alone GPS approach is not approved. Conventional means must be
permanently cross-checked during the approach.
- advisory VNAV means
NOTE : VDEV function must be permanently monitored.
3 - PROCEDURES
- In the event of DGR alarm illumination the flight crew must cross-check the aircraft
position using conventional means or must revert to an alternative means of
navigation.
- In addition, where the coupled DME option is not installed or if the coupled DME is not
operative, the following procedures apply for B-RNAV operations :
(a) during the pre-flight planning phase, the availability of GPS integrity (RAIM) must
be confirmed for the intended flight (route and time). Dispatch must not be made in the
event of predicted continuous loss of RAIM of more than 5 minutes for any part of the
intended flight.
(b) Traditional navigation equipment must be selected to available aids so as to allow
immediate cross-checking or reversion in the event of loss of GPS navigation
capability.
CABIN LIGHTING
The general cabin illumination system must be used during not less than 15 minutes
before each flight.
EGPWS
1 - Navigation is not to be predicated on the use of the terrain display.
Note :The Terrain Display is intended to serve as a situational awareness tool only. It does
not have the integrity, accuracy or fidelity on which to solely base decisions for terrain
or obstacle avoidance.
2 - To avoid giving nuisance alerts, the predictive TAWS functions must be inhibited when
landing at an airport that is not included in the airport database.
The aircraft is classified in category B in accordance with ICAO Doc 8168, Volume I.
ACCELERATION ALTITUDE
The landing RVR minimum applies to the first RVR reporting point.
Reported RVRs are controlling if relevant to that part of the RWY (the mid and stop-end point) used
during the high speed phase of the landing to a speed of approx. 60 kt.
The minimum RVR value for mid-point is 125 m and for stop-end is 75 m.
To determine the wind component see diagram on page 4.

[AT45/72] GENERAL
Older certification rules used as a reference the minimum speed, which was recorded during
defined stall penetration.
This speed was established with a load factor lower than 1g. It was used as a reference for all
operational speeds.
(example V 2 = 1,2 V s min , V REF = 1,3 V s min ).
New certification now uses as a reference the one g stall speed V SR [AT72 - V s 1g ] which is typically
6 % greater than V s min .
In order to provide the same practical maneuver margin, the factors applied to V SR [AT72 - V s 1g ]
have been changed to reflect the increased value of V SR [AT72 - V s 1g ] relative to V s min .
The ATR 42-500 and ATR 72 having been certificated to the new rules, the reference stalling speed
called V SR [AT72 – V s ] is determined as a one G stall speed [AT72 - V s 1g ] and the new (reduced)
factors apply accordingly.

In this case, bank angle must be restricted to 30° (High bank selected when using AFCS).
In order to determine these speeds in a more pilot oriented manner, an operating data booklet
included in check list is provided in which relevant minimum maneuver/operating speeds are directly
given for all weights.

In cases where the MTOW is determined by Optimum Speed Tables, two events may occur:
1) Non limiting runway - the MTOW is the maximum structural take-off weight, then the speeds
given in the CSA Speed Booklet for take-off are used. Use the speeds associated with the
actual take-off weight.
2) Limiting runway - the MTOW is lower than maximum structural take-off weight, then use the
speeds given in the Optimum Speed Tables for take-off, even if the actual take-off weight is
lower, and fill in a CSA Take-off card.

• CLIMB
Use lAS with climb speed with associated target values set by pitch wheel.
Note: If the aircraft is unable to reach an assigned FL the crew shall request a lower FL.
Use of other vertical mode (VS or Stand by pitch) due to passenger comfort improvement in
turbulence or upon ATC request to increase climb gradient could have a negative impact to
flight safety.
CAUTION: Use of other AFCS mode then IAS is not approved during climb IN ICING
CONDITIONS OR WHENEVER ICING AOA LIGHT IS ILLUMINATED.
Note: If airspeed is not monitored during climb and VS mode is engaged with a rate exceeding the
aircraft performance the airspeed will continuously decrease: AP will disengage
automatically when stall alert is activated.
CAUTION: When VS mode is used, monitor airspeed carefully.
• LEVEL OFF
- Level off is automatic when reaching the selected altitude.
- Power must be adjusted to the new condition.
- PF shall guard the control wheel and power levers with hands at least within last 500 ft.
- Reaching altitude [last 1 000 ft to level off, or more if high vertical speed is used], PF shall
reduce vertical speed to 1 500 ft/min or less.
• RESUME CLIMB OR DESCENT
- First, the new cleared altitude must be set on ADU.
- For descent, engage lAS or VS mode.
- For climb, engage preferably lAS mode.
- In both cases, adjust power as necessary.
• NAVIGATION
HDG and NAV mode for VOR approach are used as required (Refer to FCOM 1.04).
Notes: 1) Accuracy of VOR mode is significantly improved when there is a DME associated
to the VOR.
Accuracy decreases if VOR is engaged in HOLD mode.
2) The new CRS selection required over a VOR station should only be made when the
ADU / EADI indicates VOR*.

Notes: 1) LOC beam capture must be started (LOC* green on both EADI and ADU) before GS
capture can take place.
2) LOC beam capture may lead to one initial overshoot when the capture conditions are
severe (Intercept Heading = RWY HDG ± 90°, high lAS, reduced distance to the ILS
transmitter), but, provided the distance is at least 5 NM at the standard instrument
capture speed of 180 kt, this initial overshoot will be followed by an asymptotic
capture without further oscillation, even with a 90° intercept angle.
3) During LOC capture, the bank angle limit is raised to 30°.
4) When LOC capture is started, HDG bug should be placed on RWY HDG.
5) Following an engine failure AP may be disconnected in order to trim manually
the aircraft, and then reconnected.

D GO AROUND
When reaching decision height, or missed approach point after level off at MDA, if
required references are not established, a go-around must be initiated.
The following procedure is recommended :

- Announce GO AROUND
- Depress GA pbs on PLs
- Advance PLs to ramp
R - Call FLAPS one notch" and rotate to - Retract FLAPS one notch
R GO AROUND pitch attitude - Check NP= 100 %, adjust
R - Follow FD bars and cancel if necessary
R AP Disconnect Alarm
R - Accelerate to or maintain When positive rate of climb is
R VGA (2-02-01 p4) achieved :
- Announce Positive climb"
- Command gear up - Set gear up
When climb is stabilized :
- Command HDG/LO BANK/IAS - Engage HDG, BANK and IAS on
- Engage AUTO PILOT AFCS panel (IAS will synchronize
on
actual speed)
Note : GO AROUND mode gives (as a FD mode only):
- on pitch axis, a target attitude compatible with single engine performance.
- on roll axis, a steering command to maintain heading followed at GA
engagement.
As soon as climb is firmly established, use of HDG/IAS mode (which will then
be accepted by AP) is recommended.
On the ground, if the pilot coordinates the action with maintenance, he may reengage a tripped
C/B provided the cause of the tripped C/B is identified.
Generally, this may be achieved with the normal cockpit controls (engagement levers, push
buttons) by selecting the related control OFF then ON.
However for some systems the cockpit normal controls do not cut off electrical power supply to
computers. The only way to reinitialize such a system is to pull and reset the corresponding circuit
breaker.

F.C.O.M. FLIGHT CONTROLS JAN 07
The ATR aircraft are equipped with classical mechanical primary flight controls on all three axis.
The following peculiarities must be highlighted.
[AT45] CAUTION: In the very unlikely case of an engine rotor burst, one or several primary control
cables could be severed. In this cases, if sufficient authority cannot be obtained
by use of the normal controls, the AP should be immediately engaged to control
the initial disturbance as well as the subsequent return and landing. Once the
AP is engaged it has to be kept in mind that the occurrence of stall warning
would disconnect it and that lateral trimmers are still available and have to be
used as much as required to coordinate the flight.
PITCH
Both elevators are connected through a pitch uncoupling device, in order to leave sufficient
controllability in case of mechanical jamming of one control surface.
Activation of this device:
- requires heavy forces (52 daN / 114 Ibs) to be applied to the control columns, which
minimizes the risk of untimely disconnection,
- indicated to the crew through the red warning PITCH DISCONNECT,
- allows the flight to be safely achieved (refer to procedures following failures),
- [AT43, AT72] once activated can only be reset by a maintenance action.
Note: 1) When PITCH DISCONNECT takes place WITHOUT REAL JAMMING, speed has to be
limited to 180 kt and bank angle to 30° until flaps extension to avoid overstressing the
stabilizer.
2) The TWO sticks must be held once the aircraft is landed

[AT45] ROLL
AILERON SPRING TABS
Flight controls are connected to the ailerons through the spring tabs, therefore, maintaining the
flight controls to neutral on the ground would not prevent the ailerons from oscillating in case of
heavy tail wind (> 30 kt). Therefore, in heavy wind conditions it is recommended:
- to disengage the gust lock only when necessary before take off,
- after landing, to engage the gust lock before a turn that would expose the aircraft to a tail
wind component.
If aileron lock is not available, it is easier to maintain the ailerons fully deflected.

ICING
I - GENERAL
Icing conditions are defined as follows :
" Atmospheric icing conditions.
Atmospheric icing conditions exist when OAT on ground and take-off is at or
below 5°C or when TAT in flight is at or below 7°C and visible moisture in the air
in any form is present (such as clouds, fog with visibility of one mile or less, rain,
snow sleet and ice cristals).
" Ground icing conditions
Ground icing conditions exist when the OAT is at or below 5°C when operating on
ramps, taxiways and runways where surface snow, standing water or slush is
present.
" Regulatory requirements
Certification requirements defined in JAR/FAR 25 appendix C consider droplet sizes
up to 50 microns in diameter. No aircraft is certified for flight in conditions with
droplets larger than this diameter.
However, dedicated flight tests have linked unique ice accretion patterns to
conditions of droplet sizes up to 400 microns. Procedures have been defined in
case of inadvertent encounter of severe icing.
" Organization of this subchapter
It will address the following areas :
F Operations within the certified envelope.
F Information about severe icing beyond the certified envelope.
F Good operating practices.
- Accordingly, the minimum maneuver/operating speeds defined for normal (no icing)
conditions (see FCOM 2.02.01) MUST BE INCREASED.
These new minimum speeds are called MINIMUM ICING SPEEDS". They are defined
further in paragraph B.
c - Anti-ice and de-ice-systems are provided. The AIRFRAME de-icing will LIMIT the amount
of ice adhering to the airfoil but CANNOT eliminate ALL ICE ACCRETION because of the
unprotected elements on the leading edges and the continuous accretion between two
consecutive boot cycles. RESIDUAL ICE must be considered, not only during periods when
accretion develops, but ALSO AFTER ICING CONDITIONS HAVE BEEN LEFT (continued
climb above icing clouds as an example).
d - Ice accretion may also affect the forces required to maneuver the flight controls. On the
ATR:

3.If a noticeable performance decrease and (or) significant vibrations occur due

recommended :
F To check that the MODE SEL is AUTO, or that the MAN mode is selected in

contaminant on the runway (slush, snow) is highly recommended to

for any reason.
... / ...
D) DETECTION
- During flight, severe icing conditions that exceed those for which the airplane is
certificated shall be determined by the following :
R Severe icing is characterized by ice covering all or a substantial part of the unheated
portion of either side window,
Note : This cue is visible after a very short exposure (about 30 seconds).
and / or
Unexpected decrease in speed or rate of climb,
and / or
The following secondary indications :
. Water splashing and streaming on the windshield.
. Unusually extensive ice accreted on the airframe in areas not normally observed
to collect ice.
. Accumulation of ice on the lower surface of the wing aft of the protected areas.
. Accumulation of ice on the propeller spinner farther aft than normally observed.
- The occurence of rain when SAT is below freezing temperature should always trigger
the alertness of the crew.
CAUTION : Wing, tailplane, vertical and horizontal stabilizers, all control surfaces and
flaps should be clear of snow, frost and ice before take off.
PARTICULAR CASE : limited frost accretion on lower wing surfaces due to cold fuel
remaining and high ambient humidity.
As stated in the operational requirements, no person may take off an aircraft when
frost snow or ice is adhering to the wing, control surfaces or propeller of the aircraft.
FROST : frost is a light, powdery, crystalline ice which forms on the exposed
surfaces of a parked aircraft when the temperature of the exposed
surfaces is below freezing (while the free air temperature may be above
freezing).
Frost degrades the airfoil aerodynamic characteristics. However, should the take
off be conducted with frost adhering to the lower surface of the wing, check the
following :
- The frost is located on the lower surface of the wing only.
- Frost thickness is limited to 2 mm.
- A visual check of the leading edge, upper surface of the wing, control surfaces
and propellers is performed to make certain that those surfaces are totally
cleared of ice.
- Performance decrement and procedures defined for take off in atmospheric
icing conditions are applied.
" DE ICING / ANTI ICING PROCEDURE
- External de icing/anti icing will be performed as close as possible from take-off time in
order not to exceed the hold over time.
Type 1 (low viscosity) or type 2/4 (high viscosity) fluids are used for these operations.
The type 2/4 fluids are used for their anti icing qualities. As airflow increases the fluid is
spread through the elevator gap and over the lower surface of the elevator.
Depending on the brand of the fluid and the OAT, this phenomenon may temporarily
change the trim characteristics of the elevator by partially obstructing the elevator gap.
This may lead to a considerable increase in control forces necessary to rotate. This
effect is most pronounced when center of gravity is forward.
R
- To ensure the best possible tailplane de icing/anti icing, all along the fluid spraying, the
pitchwheel must be firmly maintained on the forward stop together with the aileron gust
lock engaged.
- De icing/anti icing may be performed in Hotel mode provided BLEEDS are selected
OFF.
If a de icing gantry is used, both engines must be shut down. For manual propeller de
icing, the engines must be shut down and air intake blanked or precaution taken not to
have de icing fluid in the air intake. No propeller blade should be located at 6 o'clock
position during this procedure.
► TAXIING
- The standard single engine TAXI procedure may still be used provided the friction coefficient
remains at or above 0,3 (braking action medium, snowtam code 3) and nose wheel steering
is not used with too large deflections.
Note: If the OAT is very low, it may be necessary any way to start up engine 1 early enough
to get the necessary oil warm up time (refer to Note (3) above).
- For taxiing with the very low friction coefficients (icy taxiways, slush), it is recommended to
use both engines, limit nose wheel travel and use with differential power as necessary.
► SPECIAL CASE
If contaminant layer is significant enough to possibly accumulate in the brake area during
ground operation, brakes disks may join due to icing during the flight, leading to possible tyres
damages at subsequent landing. The following special procedure should be applied during taxi
before and as close as possible to take off.
Set 18% Torque on each engine and keep taxi speed down to a "man pace" during 30 seconds
using normal brakes with minimum use of nose wheel steering to ensure a symmetrical
warming up of the brakes.
► TAKE OFF
Standard take-off procedures will be used with the following additions:
• If runway is contaminated (ice, snow, slush), use the relevant performance penalties defined
in the performance section 3.03.
• Use of reverse on contaminated runways has to be limited at very low speeds to avoid
contaminant projections at the level of cockpit windshield which may reduce visibility to zero
(snow, slush).
• In atmospheric icing conditions, refer to appropriate speeds and performance penalties and
add the following:
- with very cold OAT, delay start of takeoff roll until oil temperature is at least 45°C (this is
necessary to guarantee inlet splitter de-icing capability).

F.C.O.M. ADVERSE WEATHER JAN 07
After the ground de icing/anti icing procedure, using type Il / IV fluids, higher than normal
stick forces may be encountered. These control input forces may be more than twice the
normal take off force. This should not be interpreted as a 'pitch jam' leading to an unnecessary
abort decision above V 1 . Although not systematic, this phenomenon should be anticipated and
discussed during pre-take off briefing each time de icing/anti icing procedures are performed.
These increased pitch forces are strictly limited to the rotation phase and disappear after
take-off.
In very exceptional circumstances, because of increased rotation forces, the pilot can
consider that take off is impossible and consequently initiate an aborted take-off.
The consequences of this decision are catered for by a specific performance penalty (Refer to
AFM SUPPLEMEMTS chapter).
Select "TYPE II / IV FLUID USED” in “Specials”during EFRAS computation before take off.
[AT43] Take-off with the tail wind is prohibited after type II / IV de icing fluids use due to above
mentioned phenomenon. Use the full runway length available for take-off after type
II / IV de icing fluids application. There are inserted the red pages for airport and
contamination in the OM part C - Aerodrome manual in the case when some limitations
exist after using type II / IV de icing fluids.
► BEFORE LANDING
If take-off has been performed on a slush contaminated runway, this slush may seize the
brakes during cruise.
To prevent tire damage at touch down : in final approach, after the selection of GEAR DOWN,
select the ANTISKID to OFF, then pump the brakes at least 5 times and then reselect the
ANTISKID to ON.
► LANDING
► PARKING
When OAT is below -5°C / 23°F, particularly in wet conditions, avoid leaving the aircraft with
parking brake engaged and use chocks instead whenever possible.

PROCEDURES AND TECHNIQUES 2.02.08
P 21 OK
F.C.O.M. ADVERSE WEATHER JAN 07
The presence on the runway of water, snow, slush or ice adversely affect the aircraft’s braking
performance by:
• Reducing the friction force between the tires and the runway surface
• Creating a layer of fluid between the tires and the runway, which reduces the contact area and
leads to a risk of hydroplaning. Main wheels and nose wheels can be affected by hydroplaning.
Thus hydroplaning affects nose wheel steering, as well as braking performance.
Hydroplaning (Aquaplaning) may occur at touchdown, preventing the wheels from spinning and
from sending the wheel-rotation signal to various aircraft systems.
DIRECTIONAL CONTROL
On a contaminated runway, directional control should be maintained using the rudder pedals.
Do not use the nose wheel steering tiller until the aircraft has slowed to taxi speed.
Use of nose wheel steering above taxi speed may cause the nose wheels to hydroplane and result
in the loss of nose wheel cornering force with consequent loss of directional control.
If differential braking is necessary, pedal braking should be applied on the required side and should
be released on the opposite side to regain directional control. (If braking is not completely released
on the opposite side, brake demand may continue to exceed the anti-skid regulated braking, thus,
no differential braking may be produced.)
When the destination-airport runways are wet or contaminated, the crew should :
• Anticipate asymmetric effects at landing that would prevent efficient braking or directional control
(e.g., crosswind)
• Avoid landing on contaminated runway without anti skid or with only one side reverse available
(e.g. single engine landing)
• Conduct a firm touchdown
• Do not delay lowering the nose wheel onto the runway. This increases weight-on-wheels and
activates aircraft systems associated with the nose-landing-gear squat switches.

GENERAL
Precautions or special instructions may be necessary depending on the force and direction of
the wind. The following FCOM pages deal with this subject:
LANDING
The recommended landing flap configuration is the same as the standard landing flap setting, even
with strong crosswind. Large flaps extension does not impair the controllability in any manner.
Moreover it minimizes the flare duration and allows a quicker speed decrease down to the taxi
speed.
CROSSWIND LANDIGS
Approach techniques
A final approach in crosswind conditions may be conducted :
• With wings level (i.e. applying a drift correction to track the runway centreline), this type of
approach usually is referred to as a crabbed approach; or,
• With a steady sideslip (i.e. with fuselage aligned with runway centreline, using a combination of
into-wind aileron and opposite rudder "cross – controls" to correct the drift).
Adjust the autopilot-disconnect altitude for prevailing conditions to provide time to establish manual
control and trimming of the aircraft before the align / decrab and flare.

PROCEDURES AND TECHNIQUES 2.02.08
P 23 OK
F.C.O.M. ADVERSE WEATHER JAN 07
Flare techniques
When approaching the flare point with wings level and with a crab angle, as required for drift
correction, following technique preferably should be used :
• Align the aircraft with the runway centreline, while preventing drift, by applying into-wind aileron
and opposite rudder.
Rudder authority also decreases with decreasing airspeed and is reduced further by airflow
disturbances created by the reverse power. Reduced rudder authority can cause directional control
problems.
Effect of braking
In a strong crosswind, cross-control is maintained after touchdown to prevent the into-wind wing
from lifting and to counteract the weather-vane effect (i.e. the aircraft’s tendency to turn into the
wind). The pilot should continue to "fly the aircraft" during the landing roll.
However, into-wind wing, thus resulting in an increased load on the into-wind landing gear.
Because braking force increases as higher loads are applied on the wheels and tires, the braking
force increases on the into-wind landing gear, creating an additional tendency to turn into the wind.
When runway contamination is not evenly distributed, the anti skid system may release only the
brakes on one side.

After the runway centreline and directional control have been regained :
• Pedal braking can be applied in symmetrical or asymmetrical manner, as required; and,
• Reverse power can be reselected.
WINDSHEAR
This phenomenon may be defined as a notable change in wind direction and / or speed over a
short distance.
Windshear can be encountered in the vicinity of thunderstorms, into rain showers (even without
thunderstorms), during a frontal passage or on airports situated near large areas of water (sea
breeze fronts).
Severe windshear encountered above 1000 feet, whilst unpleasant, can generally be negotiated
safely. However if it is encountered below 500 feet on take off or approach / landing it is potentially
dangerous.
As far as possible this phenomenon must be avoided.
“WINDSHEAR T/O SPEED SETTING” in “Specials”. For remaining speeds use speed
booklet according to actual T/O weight. EFRAS allows icing speeds up to +10°C OAT.
[AT43] Use T/O tables to determine max TOW available
• When clear of obstacles accelerate as much as possible and clean up the aircraft.
• Climb at the normal climb speed.
CAUTION: The positive rate of climb must be verified on at least two instruments.
COMMENTS: 1. Leaving the gear down until the climb is established will allow to absorb some
energy on impact, should the microburst exceed the aircraft capability to climb.
2. Ten degrees pitch attitude is the best compromise to ensure a climbing path
together with an acceptable maximum AOA.

F.C.O.M. LANDING GEAR / BRAKES JAN 07
NORMAL TAXI
CAUTION: If blue hydraulic circuit is pressurized, nose wheel steering has to be switched off for
towing by a ground vehicle.
The aircraft is particularly easy to taxi, and even on one engine, there are no limitations to go
either forward or rearward: this flexibility should be systematically used and is reflected in the
standard operating procedure which assumes Hotel Mode operation of engine 2 prior to and during
passenger boarding followed by initial taxi on engine 2 only (including back track if taxi backwards
required).
This procedure is highly recommended as GI power is quite sufficient on one engine only to
perform all taxiing (out and in) and very obviously reduces block fuel by an amount which may
become very significant on large airports.
CAUTION: Start up of engine 1 should be performed in a portion of taxi where captain workload is
low enough to allow an efficient monitoring of the start up.
Use of brakes during taxiing may be very much reduced by systematic use of a small amount of
reverse when deceleration is needed.
Radius of turn with nose wheel steering is very good and does not require any braking on the
inner wheels.
CAUTION: Pivoting (sharp turns) upon a landing gear with fully braked wheels is not allowed,
except in emergency.
POWER BACK
The crew must be sure that power back is permitted at the appropriate airport. Due to the risk of
engine foreign object ingestion, this procedure may be used only on a clear apron. The airplane
must be accompanied by an authorized person, to observe the area behind the airplane and instruct
the commander who has to follow these instructions. The brakes must not be applied during the
power back procedure. Use the forward thrust to stop the airplane.

EMERGENCY BRAKING
Emergency braking has been made operationally easier by design of the parking brake lever
which incorporates an "EMERG BRAKE" notch: when the parking brake lever is set in this notch,
the regulator delivers a limited pressure which:
• allows the use of EMER BRAKING for about take - off at max V 1 or at touch down for landings
after GREEN pressure has been completely lost.
• provides repeatable, smooth deceleration whilst minimizing the risk of blown up tires.
CAUTION: Use of EMER BRAKE beyond the EMER BRAKE notch above 60 kt must be avoided
to prevent wheels lock up and damages to wheels and tires. Below 60 kt, a small
further travel (≈ 1 cm) is available without risks of damage when maximum stopping
performance is required.
A deflated tire is not easily noticeable from the cockpit: no take - off should be started after
EMER BRAKE has been used at speeds in excess of a maximum taxiing speed of 20 kt without
prior visual inspection of the main landing gear tires.

R ENG OIL LO PR CCAS alarm is 30 seconds time delayed to avoid untimely ENG OIL LO PR
R during engine start on ground in cold conditions. However, on some engines, the oil
R pressure build-up can last more than 30 seconds causing ENG OIL LO PR warning
R activation during 2 or 3 seconds. This phenomenon is considered as acceptable by PWC.
R Note : This alert is inhibited when affected CL is in FUEL SO position.
The aircraft is fitted with an automatic bleed valve closing in case of engine failure at take
off.
The closing signal is given by MFC's when uptrim is triggered. BLEED FAULT light also
illuminates on the operative engine. Engine bleed valves may be routinely selected ON
(NORM FLOW) for take off. However, performance decrement has to be considered for
the ground phase. This decrement is given in chapter 3.03 and may be computed by the
FOS.
POWER SETTING AT TAKE OFF
Engine control normally uses temperature, altitude and speed data from the selected
ADC but reverts to its own sensors in case of detected failure or significant offset.
TAT/SAT information are valid only whne the engine (propeller unfeathered)
corresponding to the selected ADC is running.
RTO torques must be computing using altitude and temperature information independent
from aircraft sources and compared to values displayed by torque bugs.
Take off power is routinely obtained by setting the power levers and the condition levers
into the notches. If need be, in order to match target torque bugs set according to
dependable data, it may be necessary to adjust the PL's out of the notches.
UNFEATHERING AFTER AN ENGINE RESTART IN FLIGHT
R The variation tolerances of engine parameters are shown in Figure. These tolerances
R must be taken into account only in stabilized flight phases.
PARAMETERS TQ NH ITT NP
R FLUCTUATION
AMPLITUDE +/- 2 % +/- 0.25 % +/- 10_C +/- 2.5 %
R In case of engine parameters fluctuation it can be helpful to select the corresponding EEC
OFF before shutting the engine OFF.
R If this action cures the problem, the flight can be continued accordingly.
CONTINUOUS IGNITION
If one or both EEC (s) has (have) been deselected, the use of MAN IGN is required when
the aircraft enters precpitation or severe turbulence areas, when ice accretion develops or
when using contaminated runways for take off landing
- Rudder must not be cycled during take-off, particularly the first portion where NWS
is used : combination of unnecessary rudder cycling (with an increasingly efficient
rudder) and NWS control would then lead to uncomfortable oscillations.
- For landing or aborted take off, control column holding must be transfered to the
co-pilot when the captain takes the NWS.
If reverse is used, at low speeds and with high power, the reversed air flow may
shake violently the flight controls, particularly with no crosswind : the control column
must be held very firmly and/or, below 30 kts, the GUST LOCK may be engaged.
STALLS
STALL WITHOUT ICE ACCRETION
In all configurations, when approaching the stall, the aircraft does not exhibit any noticeable
change in characteristics of flight; control effectiveness and stability remains good and there is no
significant buffet down to CL max; this is the reason why both the stall alert (audio “cricket” and
shaker) and stall identification (stick pusher) are “artificial” devices based on angle of attack
measurement.
Recovery of stall approaches shall be started as soon as stall alert is perceived. Recovery shall
be accomplished by:
- A gentle push on the wheel as necessary to regain control.
- Selection of flaps 15.
- Increase in power up to MCT if needed
If the stall penetration attempt is maintained after stall alert has been activated, the STICK
PUSHER may be activated; this is clearly unmistakable as the control column is suddenly and
abruptly pushed forward, which in itself initiates recovery.
Note: The “pushing action” is equivalent to 40daN/88 lbs applied in 0,1 second and it lasts as long
as angel of attack exceeds the critical value.
CAUTION: Stall training excercises without stick pusher are prohibited.
STALL WITH ICE ACCRETION
Even with airframe de-icers used according to procedure (i.e. as soon as and as long as ice
accretion develops on airframe), the leading edges cannot be completely cleared of ice accretion
because of existence of “unprotected” elements on the leading edges and continued accretion
between two consecutive boots cycles.
This residual ice on leading edges change noticeably the characteristics of flight BELOW the
minimum operating speeds defined for ice accretion, as follows:
- Control effectiveness remains good, but forces to maneuver in roll and to a lesser degree
in pitch, may increase somewhat.
- Above the reduced angle of attack:
⋅ An aerodynamic buffeting may be felt which will increase with the amount of ice
accumulated and angle of attack increase.
⋅ Stability may be slightly affected in roll, but stick pusher should prevent angle of attack
increase before wing rocking tend to develop (Refer to FCOM 1.02.30 for stall alarm
threshold definition).
Recovery of stall in such conditions must be started as soon as stall warning is activated
or buffeting and/or beginning of lateral instability and/or sudden roll off is perceived.
Recovery shall be accomplished by:
- A gentle push on the wheel as necessary to regain control.
- Selection of flaps 15.
- Increase in power up to MCT if needed

- The deceleration capabilities of the aircraft provide a good operational advantage which should
be used extensively; decelerated approached reduce noise, minimize time and fuel burn and
allow better integration in big airports. This is why they have been described as the « standard
approaches» in section 2.02.10 (flight patterns).
- Initial approach speed will vary with ATC constraints and turbulence, but may be up to 240 Kts.

LANDING
In order to minimize landing distance variations the following procedure is recommended:
y Maintain standard final approach slope (3°) and final V APP until 20 ft is called on radioaltimeter.
y At «20 ft» call by PNF, reduce to Fl and flare visually as required
Note: 20 ft leaves ample time for flare control from a standard 3° final slope.
- During this flare the airspeed will necessary decrease, leading to a touch down speed of 5
to 10 kt lower than the stabilized approach speed.
• As soon as main landing gear is on ground
- Control nose wheel impact
- Retard both PLs to GI
- Check low pitch lights illuminates
CAUTION: If thrust asymmetry occurs or if both LO PITCH lights are not illuminated the use of any
reverser is not allowed.
In this case the propeller pitch change mechanism is probably locked at a positive
blade angle, leading to a positive thrust for any PL position.
Applying any reverser would result in an increased positive thrust and therefore in a
difficulty to control lateral asymmetry.
- Reverse as necessary.
CAUTION: If an unexpected dissymmetry occurs when reverses are selected, reset PLs to ground
idle.
Notes: 1. Max reverse is usable down to full stop if required, but to minimize flight control shaking
due to reverse operation at high powers, it is helpful to release slowly PL back to Gl
when reaching low ground speeds (below 40 kt estimated).
2. Max braking is usable without restriction down to full stop, whatever the runway
conditions may be, provided ANTISKID is operative.
3. In case of a significant bound, a go around should be considered.

Note: For the GPS or GNSS system description see FCOM part 1, Chapter 1.15.
RNAV is a navigation method that allows the aircraft to be controlled on any requested flight
trajectory, either in areas that have ground based navigational aids or based on the capabilities
of independent navigation sources, or a combination of both of these methods. Generally, RNAV
works automatically providing the aircraft a position information and allows the pilot to input
and monitor a route trajectory using the following navigation aids or any combination:
- VOR / DME
- DME / DME
- INS or IRS
- GPS

PRE-FLIGHT PREPARATION
During the process of pre-flight planning and preparation, crew must pay augmented vigilance
to the conditions that may affect operations within RNAV airspace. These conditions contain these
following crew actions which must be performed in addition to the standard pre-flight preparation:
a) check that the aircraft complies with regulations for operation in RNAV airspace:
check for the bold faced R in the ICAO FPL for B-RNAV
check for the bold faced P in the ICAO FPL for P-RNAV
b) check the aircraft’s minimum equipment according to the MEL for its capability to operate
in RNAV airspace
c) take into consideration operational limitations as they pertain to RNAV operations, and further
operational limitations as published in AIP documentation and NOTAMs, furthermore,
the limitations published with AFM / FCOM documentation.
Note: ATRs cannot be operated in airspace, where dual P-RNAV system is required.
During the pre-flight planning phase, availability of the navigation infrastructure, required
for the intended operation, including any non-RNAV contingencies, must be confirmed for
the period of intended operation.
Availability of onboard navigation equipment necessary for the route to be flown must
be confirmed.
Availability of RAIM must be confirmed with the latest information from the US Coastguard
giving details satellite non-availability.

F.C.O.M. RNAV JAN 07
COCKPIT PREPARATION
For P-RNAV operations the onboard navigation database must be appropriate for the region
of intended operation and must include the navigation aids, waypoints, and coded terminal
airspace procedures for the departure, arrival and alternate airfields. If any doubt as to the validity
of the procedure in database exists, the procedure shall not be used. Active flight plan shall
be checked with charts. The creation of new waypoints by manual entry into the RNAV system
by the flight crew is not permitted as it would invalidate the affected P-RNAV procedure. Route
modifications may take the form of radar headings or “direct to” clearances.
The minimum equipment capable for operations in RNAV space is published in the table
below. In case of failure of any system published below, the crew must proceed in accordance with
following subchapters.
EQUIPMENT REQUIREMENTS
HT 1000 1
VOR receiver 1
DME receiver 1
Note: ▪ For entering RNAV airspace, the MEL requirements depend on the type of RNAV
airspace. One RNAV system is required, as a minimum, for operation in European RNAV
airspace where coverage by ground radio navigation means (VOR/DME, NDB) is assured.
This requirement is based on the assumption that in the event of RNAV system failure,
conventional navigation is possible with the utilization of ground radio navigation means
(VOR/DME, NDB) including radar vectoring availability.
▪ The required navigation performance in RNAV airspace is assured by HT 1000
system.
DURING FLIGHT
Prior to entering any RNAV space, the crew must be sure that loaded route is correct
and complies with all clearances. The crew must be also sure, that no RNAV equipment failures
that would degrade its navigation performance occurred.
Departure
Prior to commencing take off, the flight crew must verify that the RNAV system is available
and operating correctly.
At take off the PNF shall check that actual take off position is relevant to take off position
displayed at EHSI. If not, as soon as workload permits announce to ATC controller: “UNABLE
RNAV DUE TO EQUIPMENT” and proceed according to contingency procedures.
P-RNAV equipment shall be engaged after reaching V MHB0 .
During the procedure and where feasible, flight progress should be monitored for by crosschecks,
with conventional navigation aids using the EHSI in conjunction with the MCDU.

F.C.O.M. RNAV JAN 07
Track keeping monitoring of P-RNAV procedure below MSA also requires particular attention in
degraded conditions such as engine failure, as both the vertical and the lateral obstacle clearance
are more critical
En-route
In cruise monitor flight progress, required NAV accuracy and RNAV system.
Arrival
Active flight plan shall be checked by comparing the charts (STAR) with the PLAN displayed
on EHSI and the MCDU. This check includes confirmation of the:
- DEST/RWY
- WPTs sequence,
- reasonableness of track angles and distances,
- any altitude or speed constraints,
- correct identification, where applicable, of waypoints as fly-by or fly-over waypoints
- exclusion / confirmation of the specific navaids usage for position updating, in case
of its unavailability as per NOTAMs.
Procedures in cases of unintentional loss of navigational capability for flight
along RNAV route
a) Crew actions following decreased or lost RNP navigational capability during flight:
If the crew is not able to enter the airspace marked as RNAV, or to continue flight
in accordance with an ATC clearance due to a RNAV failure or degradation that lowers below
appropriate RNP value (5NM or 1NM), the crew must immediately notify ATC regarding
the extent of the situation, and request a change of flight plan routing.
Upon request for a change of ATC clearance, the ATC reaction will be based
on the extent of the RNAV failure, and the current traffic load. In most cases, it will be possible
to continue the flight in accordance with ATC clearance. In cases where it is possible
to comply with ATC, the crew must cross check the aircraft’s position by VOR/DME and NDB
nav-aids.
If it is not possible to continue the flight in accordance with the latest ATC clearance, ATC
will issue a clearance to change over to ground based nav-aids, i.e. VOR/DME, NDB. ATC can
also provide radar vectoring.
If the RAIM function is lost, flight in RNAV airspace may continue, but an aircraft position
check must be performed by VOR/DME and NDB nav-aids at intervals of no longer
than 15 minutes.
b) Procedures following decreased or lost RNP navigational capability outside the home base:
In cases of a failure or decreased navigational capability below appropriate RNP , prior
to departure from an airport where there is no possibilities to repair the RNAV system,
it is possible to make a flight to the nearest airport where the repair is available. In such
cases, it is required to file a new ICAO flight plan, “STS/RNAV INOP” must be stated in column
18, and “R” or “S” must not be used in column 10. An ATC unit can give clearance with
changed departure time, cruising level, or flight plan route. Details may be further clarified,
or changed in flight.

GENERAL GUIDELINES
The whole operating procedures are described in the Honeywell/Trimble HT1000 GNSS Pilot's
guide, dated June 1997 (or later applicable revision). However, the following paragraphs give
simple clues to optimize HT1000 operation.
The HT 1000 basic navigation is provided by the GPS. When the GPS receiver is failed
or the satellite coverage is insufficient, the navigation automatically reverts to the DME/DME mode.
Note: This DME/DME mode is only available, if aircraft is equipped with two DME receivers.
POWER UP
The HT 1000 is directly powered by the DC BUS 2
DISPLAYS
GNSS mode is selected by pressing the RNV pushbutton on the EFIS control panel.
GNSS may be presented either in OBS mode or MAP mode. The selection is done by repetitive
action or the MAP pushbutton of the EFIS control panel.
OBS mode presents conventional lateral guidance on the active leg. In this mode the desired
track selection is made by the HT1000 (course selectors on glareshield panel are not operative).
In MAP mode only the next six waypoints and/or icons will be presented. The active waypoint
is displayed in magenta and the next five in while.
NAVIGATION MONITORING
- maintain HDG bug on actual aircraft heading
- monitor the sequencing of the waypoints on the MCDU (ACT RTE 1/2 LEGS page) and make
sure that there is no discontinuity.
CAUTION: When flying over a WPT followed by a discontinuity, the AP will revert to the basic
lateral mode, maintaining the wings levelled. The message "CPL DATA INVALID" will
then illuminate on the AFCS.
CAUTION: When in LNAV mode, switching of AP/FD between CM1 and CM2 will disengage
the LNAV mode even if both sides are in GNSS mode. LNAV mode can
be reengaged.

The nearest airport will be displayed.
VI SPECIAL HIGHLIGHTS
General
- In map mode at least the active waypoint must be visible at all times except during significant
weather avoiding manoeuvres when smaller ranges may be required.
- If in any doubt about GPS tracking or aircraft position, select HDG mode and verify position
by conventional means or by ATC radar.
Set up conditions
- Verify if the data base is current.
WARNING: The accuracy of the data base information is assured only if the data base
is current. Operators using an out of date base do so entirely at their own
risk.
- Verify the baro setting.
Note: Since the altitude from the ADC is pressure altitude, an altimeter correction is required
to ensure maximum accuracy. Therefore, it is important to keep the altimeter baro
setting updated on the self test page when power is first applied to the KLN 90.
- Set "turn anticipation" mode (enable/disable) as required.
- Check that the proper criteria are used for nearest airport selection.
LNAV MODE
- LNAV mode has no armed / capture phases: interception begins as soon as the mode
is selected.
WAYPOINT ALERTING
- When approaching a waypoint, the waypoint alerting occurring on the KLN 90 is duplicated by
an amber WPT label illuminating on RH side of EHSI.

RAIM POSITION ERROR, CROSS CHECK POSITION This message means that the unit has
detected a problem with one of the satellites and the position can not be assured to within IFR
limits for the particular mode of flight. Cross check the position of the aircraft with other means
of navigation every 15 minutes to verify that the position is still accurate.
RAIM NOT AVAILABLE, CROSS CHECK POSITION This message appears when there are not
enough received GPS satellite signals to compute integrity (RAIM). Cross check the position
of the aircraft with other means of navigation every 15 minutes to verify that the position is still

SATELLITE COVERAGE INADEQUATE FOR NAV This message appears when the received
GPS signals are not adequate for navigation. Occasions when this message will be displayed
include when there are an insufficient number of satellites (including altitude input) or when
the satellite geometry is inadequate for accurately determining position within 3,8 NM
FLAG This message on the CDI indicator on page NAV 1 means that KLN 90B+ is not available
for navigation.
Note: An error in the position determination by the KLN 90B+ system depends on the following
factors: the number of received satellites, the GPS signal intensity, and the layout
of satellite momentarily using for navigation. Information on position error is displayed
on the STA 2 page.

FLIGHT INSTRUMENTS P1 001
AHRS DEC 06
AA
AHRS
AHRS alignment sequence takes place as soon as the battery is switched ON, and it takes
nominally 3 MINUTES DURING WHICH AIRCRAFT MUST NOT BE MOVED.
To know the remaining time for AHRS alignment, depress AHRS FAST ERECT
pushbutton.
The heading which can be read on the associated EHSI indicate the time remaining (in
seconds) for AHRS alignment (example : heading 090 = 1 minute and 30 seconds). Then
release AHRS FAST ERECT pushbutton.
AHRS normally survive to electrical transients asociated with engine start.
R
ON GROUND ONLY, if needed, AHRS reset may be performed by cycling all relevant C/B
OFF-- ON.
Note : the beginning of the 3 minutes alignment period may be observed as it is associated
with a brief display of horizon tilted 30_ to the right without flag.
CAUTION : resetting AHRS C/B in flight is not recommended as in flight reailgnment
requires 3 minutes of very stable flight (which may be impossible to get in
turbulence) and possibility of pulling the wrong C/B could lead to complete
AHRS failure unrecoverable for the rest of the flight.
Note : some of the AHRS failures observed in flight may be “self recoverable” when they
are associated to a temporary failure of the SPERRY DIGITAL BUS.
R CAUTION : Pilots must be aware of possible induced attitudes and heading errors in case
R of continuous turns, specially in high latitudes countries; therefore racetrack
R holding patterns are to be flown rather than circles.
WEATHER RADAR
The weather radar radiates power when operating in any mode other than STBY. Use of
weather radar on ground in a mode other than STBY requires special care :
- make certain that no personnel is working in front of aircraft within a sector of 3 meters
radius and 130_ left or right of the aircraft axis.
- direct aircraft nose so that no large size metal object (hangar, aircraft ...) is located
within a 30 meters radius.
- avoid operating radar during refueling operation of radiating aircraft or any other
aircraft within a 30 meters radius.
CAUTION: The TCAS equipment is viewed as a supplement to the pilot who, with the aid of the Air
Traffic Control, has the primary responsibility for avoiding mid-air collisions.
GENERAL
TCAS alerts the crew to possible conflicting traffic. TCAS interrogates operating ATC
transponders in other aircraft, tracks the other aircraft by analyzing the transponder replies, and
predicts the flight paths and positions. The system provides aural and visual advisories, flight path
guidance and traffic displays of the other aircraft to the flight crew. TCAS system provides no
indication of aircraft without operative transponders.
Air to Air communications for co-ordinating maneuvers between TCAS equipped aircraft is
provided by mode S ATC transponder.
Resolution advisories can only be generate for intruders equipped with operative mode S or
mode C transponders (providing valid intruders altitude information).
Traffic advisories can only be generated for intruders equipped with operative mode S, C or A
transponders.
TCAS RAs may in some cases conflict with flight path requirements due to terrain, such as an
obstacle limited climb segment or an approach to rising terrain. Since many approved instrument
procedures and IFR clearances are predicated on avoiding high terrain or obstacles, it is particularly
important that pilots maintain situational awareness and continue to use good operating practices and
judgement when following the TCAS RAs. Maintain frequent outside visual scan and "see and avoid"
vigilance.
It is important that pilots follow all RAs even when there is:
y an opposite avoiding instruction by the controller. If the RA is not followed, it can adversely affect
safety when the other aircraft responds to a coordinated RA.
y conflict close to the top of the operating envelope. If a "Climb" RA is generated, it may be
possible to climb at least a little but do not descent opposite to the RA.
y traffic information from the controller. The slower update rate of the radar display, even with
RDPS multiradar data, means that the vertical situation seen by the controller may be inaccurate,
particularly when aircraft are rapidly climbing or descending.
y visual acquisition. The wrong aircraft could be identified and the situation may be wrongly
assessed.

When receiving a TA the crew must try to establish visual contact with the intruder and other
aircraft which may be in the vicinity in order to clear the airspace in the event that an RA should
subsequently occur.
When flying manually the first responsibility of the PF is the safe control of the flight while the
PNF shall perform the look out.
When flying on the autopilot the PF can perform the look out, too. He shall, however, not refrain
from monitoring his instruments.
WARNING: Be aware that a TA symbol without altitude tag indicates non-altitude reporting traffic.
The non-altitude reporting traffic can be at any altitude. Even when becoming a real threat, the
TCAS will not issue any RA for this traffic. The same applies to any TA when operating in TA ONLY
mode. Do not initiate evasive maneuvers using information form the traffic display only or on a TA

PNF .........- Adjust power to TQ objectives if necessary.
- Advice ATC.
- Monitor IAS compared to V S .
Note: When a climb or increase climb RA occurs with the airplane in the landing
configuration or in the go-around phase, a normal procedure of go-around should be
followed including the appropriate power increase and configuration changes.
While responding to a TCAS Resolution Advisory the pilot shall use his best judgement and act
according to the general principles below.
Follow the TCAS guidance manoeuvring the aircraft promptly and smoothly. Maneuvers which
are in the opposite direction of the RA (resulting the V/S needle moving into the red arc or further into
the red arc if the needle was already there when the RA was initially displayed) are extremely
hazardous, especially RAs involving altitude crossing and are prohibited unless it is visually
determined to be the only means to assure safe separation.
When operating visually, if the pilot makes a decision to disregard an RA and maintain visual
separation from the intruder, he should be aware that the intruder may maneuver toward his aircraft
while responding to its own RA.
Prior to electing to disregard an RA, the pilot should ensure that visual separation from the
intruder can be maintained for at least the next 60 seconds.
To comply with a corrective RA, the autopilot must be disconnected. In case of a climb RA,
application of full thrust (G/A or MCT as appropriate) may be required. Disconnecting autopilot is
recommended also in case of a preventive RA in order to be prepared for a possible change in flight
profile / path.

F.C.O.M. TCAS JAN 07
Follow the TCAS guidance manoeuvring the aircraft promptly and smoothly. FLY THE
AIRCRAFT! Make pitch change according to EADI and than monitor VSI. Limit the alterations of the
flight path to the minimum extent necessary to comply with the RA.
Avoid overcontrolling as the required deviation from the current flight path is normally less than
500 ft. During cruise conditions a pitch attitude change of approximately two degree is generally
adequate to resume the vertical speed required.
Any corrective RA maneuver requires initial response within five seconds and with G-force similar
to than felt when responding to an ATC clearance to climb or descent "immediately" (0,25 G).
Immediately respond to any increase or reversal RA as initial response is expected within 2,5
seconds of the issuance of the advisory. An increase or reversal maneuver requires G-force up to
0,35G.
When operating outside of normal TCAS performance envelope, the aircraft may not have the
performance to execute a climb RA. In this case, the pilot should be aware that the RA will still be
issued and that response should still be initiated. If the pilot is unable to attain a 1 500 ft/min climb as
initially required by the TCAS, he should establish a climb with the highest vertical speed practical.
The TCAS will then continue to monitor the vertical separation and may issue a change of the original
RA command.
If receiving a climb RA in landing configuration, a go around should be performed. Ignore FD
pitch commands during GA phase. Perform climb sequence after receiving a "CLEAR OF
CONFLICT" advisory.

COMMENTS
At low power settings during approach the arming conditions of the ATPCS are not met and there will
be no autofeather available. On aircraft without PEC system the condition lever of the non effected
engine may be not in the position for prop RPM to deliver RTO power. Additionally the aircraft
configuration (gear down, flaps set for landing) can be such that single-engine climb or even a level
off without exceeding the V MCL limits will become impossible.
When a flame out occurs on final the flight crew has different options according to the progress of the
approach and other facts like weather situation, runway dimensions and aircraft conditions.
For instance it may be advisable to discontinue the approach, perform all relevant check lists and to
execute a new stabilized single engine approach thereafter, but the situation could also permit
continuation of the approach with an abbreviated abnormal procedure.
A particular problem of the flame out on final event is the fact that the aircraft is on a flight path
towards the ground and the obstacles. This creates time pressure and calls for quick evaluation and
corrective actions. As a guidance for easier assessment of the situation and the selection of the most
reasonable option the following procedures shall be considered:
By application of the abbreviated procedure (above memory items only) it is assured that the
condition lever of the failed engine is set to FTR then FUEL S/O. The CL of the non affected engine is
at MAX RPM position [AT45 – AUTO position]. The aircraft is then prepared for continued approach
or even go-around if this should become necessary.
To be able to maintain a stabilized flight path until touch down the PL of the non affected engine shall
be set to approximately 50-60 % torque without delay, pitch shall be slightly increased and yaw forces
should be trimmed out.
If a stabilized approach can be maintained, the aircraft may be landed without any flame-out
procedure action.
A delayed power adjustment will normally require higher torque for the non affected engine thus
creating a considerable yaw moment, which makes it difficult or even impossible to maintain
a stabilized flight path.

Therefor first the go-around commands shall be given and the go-around be initiated. This
immediately breaks the descending flight path, reduces flaps setting and brings the gear up, thus
eliminating considerable drag.
After gear retraction "Engine Flame Out" check list shall be started with the above said memory items
to take care of the unfeathered propeller. This may become even necessary below 400ft AGL to
permit climb.
After completion of a single engine go-around the procedure continues with "Engine Flame Out"
check list.
- Single engine approach speed is equal to V APP or 1,1 V MCA whichever is higher until committed to
land.
Note: In case of loss of the directional controllability during landing, CM1 must take over control of
the aircraft, report "MY STEERING" or "MY CONTROLS" and regain directional control
primarily using the rudder pedals, reduce reverse power to reach GI (if reverse selected) to
increase rudder authority, release brakes (if brakes used) and use asymmetrical braking if
necessary – then use nose wheel steering.

2- 1 FDAU FUNCTION
The APM function is to monitor the aircraft drag in icing conditions in order to alert the crew
of a risk of severe icing conditions. The speed in cruise will be also monitored to alert the
crew of an abnormal speed decrease in icing conditions. The APM will check also that the
MSIS (Minimum Severe Icing Speed) is respected.

The APIU is an electronic equipment installed in the cockpit, on the floor left side near
flight control Captain pedals.
The function of this equipment is to realize interface between MPC and cockpit
indicator lights and caution. It receives 2 information from MPC (APM level 1 and APM
level 2) and following dedicated logic manages cockpit signalisation by illuminating
the corresponding indicator lights and cockpit caution signalisation (Caution light and
Single Chime).
2.2.2 - APM LIGHTS ON FRONT INSTRUMENT PANEL (13 VU)
This indicator light installed on the 5 VU panel is used to inform crew of a failure in the
APM function computation. In case of a FAULT indication, the APM shall be selected
OFF through this pushbutton, and in this case the OFF indication shall be illuminated.
In normal utilization, without FAULT indication, the APM function shall always be in ON
position.
The WEIGHT rotary selector is installed on the 5 VU panel, and is used by the crew to
select the aircraft weight. This weight information is used in the MPC for the APM
performance computation.
This rotary switch has 12 positions to select the TO weight (depending on weight unit):
- In Tons : 15/16/17/18/19/19.5/20/20.5/21/21.5/22/22.5
- In pounds : 33.1/35.3/37.5/39.7/41.9/43/44.1/45.2/46.3/47.4/48.5/49.6
Note :To take into account the new value, position has to be changed (even if
actual weight is the same as precedent flight one).
2.2.6 - CIRCUIT BREAKERS
The MPC and the APIU are powered in parallel through circuit breakers 4 TU and 159
TU installed on 21 VU.
The APM FAULT light is powered through a dedicated circuit breaker 214 TU, in order to
have APM FAULT signalisation in case of MPC and/or APIU power supply loss.
2.2.7 - ASSOCIATED CAUTION ALARMS
CRUISE SPEED LOW : blue light
DEGRADED PERF : amber light with CAUTION light + SC
IINCREASE SPEED : amber flashing light with CAUTION light + SC
FAULT : amber light with CAUTION light + SC + ANTI-- ICING on CAP
OFF : white light
(SC = Single Chime)
Note : The WEIGHT rotary selector position, the status of CRUISE SPEED LOW /
DEGRADED PERF / INCREASE SPEED indicator lights, and the OFF position
of the APM pushbutton are recorded in the SSFDR.
Computation
To validate the take off weight entered by the crew with the rotary selector, the APM
shall perform a take off weight computation at the beginning of the flight. This
computation is performed during the first minutes of the flight and before the APM
starts the drag analysis.
The actual weight is then updated in flight by internal computation.

APPLICABLE ONLY TO AIRCRAFT FITTED WITH MODIFICATION 5567
In accordance with the European Air Traffic Management Plan, the implementation of
EHS requires aircraft to have capability to downlink aircraft derived data via a mode S
transponder.
The EHS function of MPC, allows acquiring flight parameters from aircraft computers, to
downlink these data to Air Traffic Control through aircraft Transponder Mode S.
The flight parameters are acquired from different aircraft computers (ADC1/2, AHRS1/2,
GNSS), in different acquisition format (ASCB, ARINC 429). They are computed in MPC
and send to aircraft transponders through a dedicated ARINC 429 output.
The DMU has been designed to allow the user to customize the system according to his
specific application, requirements, operating environment and logistics. Programming
capabilities are provided, to allow modification of monitoring functions or implementation
of additional monitoring functions.
The customization that are basically performed for ATR aircraft, activates the following
functions:

After an MPC selection on the MCDU, the following initial menu is displayed.
DEPARTURE BRIEFING
Is performed in due time - preferably before engine start.
CONTENTS
The commander:
1) determines who will be the pilot flying
2) determines the single engine acceleration altitude and acceleration altitude
3) determines take-off speeds which will be used, Normal or Icing, depending on the atmospheric
conditions
4) reminds that BLEEDS will be OFF regarding engines lifetime saving
5) determines how the anti icing equipment will be used depending on the atmospheric conditions:
a) full use of ANTI ICINING PROPELLERS
HORNS
SIDE WINDOWS
b) partial use of ANTI ICING,
GROUND ICING COND. PROPELLERS + CON. RELIGHT
c) off
6) determines what actions will be performed in case of an aborted take off
7) determines the procedures to be used in case of the critical engine failure after V1:
a) call outs to be used by PNF in case of an engine failure
b) actions, performed by PNF, in case of improper function of the ATPCS or LOW PITCH in flight
c) the acceleration altitude used in case of an engine failure climb out
d) actions to be performed at the acceleration altitude
e) actions to be performed when reaching V mLB (WHITE BUG), navigation on route to be flown,
and which altitude will be used as final
f) which runway will be used for landing, or in case of take-off from an airport where landing is
not possible, determine the airport used as alternate for take-off (take-off alternate)
Note: When selecting an alternate for take-off, in addition to the fact that the airport can be
no further away than 60 minutes of flight time, it is imperative to take into consideration
the altitude the aircraft on one engine is able to attain in accordance with it’s actual
TOW. With these facts in mind one must choose both a take off alternate and it’s
routing.

emphasis on acquisition of sufficient visual references.
3) The principal task for CM2 is monitoring the approach and permanent instrument monitoring.
5) Failures occurring during approach should always lead to a missed approach procedure unless:
- sufficient visual reference is achieved and there is not any doubt about correct position and
flight path of the aircraft or
- relevant procedure has been fully applied and new appropriate DH has been set at or above
1000 ft AGL.
Note: In case of engine failure, if aircraft is correctly trimmed before reaching 1000 ft RA, approach
may be continued with autopilot engaged, using CAT I minima.

Before approach
The PF is CM1.
The PNF is CM2.
Note: If ATC clearance or ATIS information does not explicitly mention that LVO is in force, then
the crew must request CAT II approach clearance
Note: Optimum seat position must be set according the pilot eye height indicator.
Note: Generally the use of landing lights is not recommended during CAT II approach. The
possibility to attain a visual reference is significantly decreased by precipitations droplets
dispersing the light.

The crew shall perform the following actions before LOC interception:
Note:: 1) If approach mode is selected and ILS frequency is not properly tune on PF side, the
message "CHECK NAV SOURCE" will appear on ADU. To readjust:
- cancel the message
- tune ILS frequency
- select APP mode
2) If APP mode is selected, approach capability (CAT I or CAT II) will appear on ADU.
3) Full LOC/GS tracking (indicated by green symbols LOC a GS) is reached below 1 500 ft
RA solely, anyway it must be fully established and ILS frequency tune on both NAV sets
until passing 800 ft RA. Otherwise "CAT II INVALID" message will appear on ADU. CAT
II approach must be interrupted and new ILS interception is required.
Note: There is no published IAS limit for localizer interception. The standard CAT II approach is
based on an initially decelerated approach for which following IAS limitation apply at 1500 ft
AGL established on GS:
In all cases deceleration towards V APP must commence not lower than 1 500 ft AGL
established on GS both PL at FI.

COMMENTS
Both pilots shall decide if oxygen is required, taking into consideration the present aircraft altitude and
time required to descent below 10 000 ft cabin altitude.
Above level 20 000 ft oxygen must be used with N / 100% rocker in 100% position. N position may be
used below 20 000 ft if air in the cabin is not contaminated. Put off oxygen mask when they are no
longer required and resume normal communication.
Maximum airspeed is MMO / VMO.
If structural damage is suspected, use the flight controls with care and reduce speed as appropriate.
Landing gear may be extended in order to increase the rate of descent.
If turbulent air is encountered or expected, reduce speed to V RA .
Notify ATC of the nature of the emergency encountered and state intentions. In the event ATC cannot
be contacted, select code 7700 or transmit the distress message on 121,5 MHz. Only VHF 1 is
available on battery.
CL are selected MAX RPM [AT45 – 100 OVRD] to increase drag and consequently to increase the

F.C.O.M. PRELIMINARY JAN 07
Normal procedures consist of inspections, preparations and normal check lists. All items are listed in
a sequence following a standardized scan of the cockpit panels except when required by the logic of
actions priority, to ensure that all actions are performed the most efficient way.
Normal procedures are divided into phases of flight and accomplished by recall.
After completion of a given procedure, the related normal check-list is used. The normal check-list
developed by the manufacturers includes only the items that may have a direct impact on safety and
efficiency if not correctly accomplished. All normal check-lists are initiated at the pilot’s flying (or CM1
during ground operation) command. Some normal procedures which are non routine will be found in
chapters 2.02 «PROCEDURES AND TECHNIQUES» and 3.11 «SPECIAL OPERATIONS».
All steps have to be performed before the first flight of the day or following a crew change or
maintenance action. Transit steps are the only ones to be completed after a transit stop. They are
grouped in the FINAL COCKPIT PREPARATION. If there is any doubt as to whether the application
of transit procedures covers all safety aspects, the complete preparation must be accomplished.
For all the procedures described in this part, standard operation is basically assumed, i.e. ENG 2
starting in Hotel mode.
However, the procedures also include the use of GPU.

F.C.O.M. CHECKLISTS JAN 07
This chapter provides expanded information related to the normal procedures and on the use of
Normal check lists. They have been developed by CSA to suite the Company’s operation and route
network.
The normal procedures and Normal check lists are presented for each phase of flight in separate
articles hereafter. Each article is divided into two parts. Part "Flow Pattern" presents expanded
normal procedures, which must be accomplished before check list reading. Part "Check List"
presents the explanation and expanded information for each item in the check list together with the
proper response.
Note: All items and responses in sections "Check List" must be read exactly as written in the
following chapters. However on the hard copy of the Normal check list some items may be
written in abbreviations.
Task Sharing
For all procedures, the general task sharing stated bellow is applicable.

F.C.O.M. CHECKLISTS JAN 07
The items prefixed "1/2" require responses from one of crew members. In these cases, the crew
member performing the item replies.
The items prefixed "1+2" require responses from both crew members. In these cases, the crew
member non reading the check list replies first, followed by a reply of the crew member reading the
check list.
The crew member shall respond to the challenge only after having checked the current
configuration or setting. If the configuration or setting is not in accordance with the required check
list response, the corrective action must be done before the response is given. If a corrective action
is not possible, the response must be modified to reflect the current status.
The other crew member shall visually verify that the current configuration or setting is in
accordance with the response for each item of the check list.
Strict adherence to the check list must be observed at all times. The crew member reading the
check list must not call the next item until the item called is checked and the appropriate response
is given. For some items the response "As required" is indicated on the check list. In these cases
the actual status of the system must be stated.

COMMENTS
- The cabin crew is in charge to locate and kill the source of smoke, if possible, using
the portable fire extinguisher located in the cabin. Before entering the aft cargo area,
the cabin attendant must wear an oxygen mask. To leave the aft cargo door open may
induce some cabin contamination therefore it must be avoided.
COMMENTS
- Safety analysis leads us to consider the case when the DUAL DC GEN LOSS is
subsequent to :
. Single engine operation, and
. DC GEN inoperative on the live engine.
In that case HYD GREEN PUMP has to be set to OFF position in order to overload
the live ACW generator.
- Selecting TRU ON allows to recover EMER, ESS and STBY (AC and DC) busses supply
from ACW generators.
- Minimum cabin light must be switched OFF to limit the electrical load of the TRU.
- As DC BUS 1 is lost, automatic pressurization is lost.
- Both stick pusher and stick shaker are lost without FAULT alarm.
- STBY BUS undervoltage may occur due to a failure of the STBY BUS system circuit.
In this event, the OVRD function may be used to transfer the STBY BUS supply from
the MAIN BAT BUS to the EMER BAT BUS.
R - TLU AUTO mode is lost and MAN mode must be used. MAN mode acts on TLU standby
R actuator which remains povered even if TLU is in LO SPD established position. When
R TLU SW is set to AUTO position, TLU standby actuator electrical power is off.
R - PA must be used for pax instructions because cabin signs are not supplied in
R emergency.

COMMENTS
- Since the autopilot may mask tactile cues that indicate adverse changes in handling
R characteristics, use of the autopilot is prohibited when the severe icing defined above
exists, or when unusual lateral trim requirements or autopilot trim warnings are
encountered while the airplane is in icing conditions.
- Due to the limited volume of atmosphere where icing conditions usually exists, it is
possible to exit those conditions either :
. by climbing 2000 or 3000 ft, or
. if terrain clearance allows, by descending into a layer of air temperature above
freezing, or
. by changing course based on information provided by ATC.
PROCEDURES
CM1 Retard both PLs to GI/REV, as required, and apply full brakes as needed.
Note: In case of loss of the directional controllability during rejected take off, CM1 must
regain directional control primarily using the rudder pedals, reduce reverse power
to reach GI (if reverse selected) to increase rudder authority, release brakes (if
brakes used) and use asymmetrical braking if necessary – then use nose wheel
steering.
CM2 Take over/hold the control wheel (as appropriate) and apply forward pressure with wings
levelled.
Note: CM1 should not abandon control of the aeroplane until the CM2 makes a positive
input on the controls.
CM2 Call ATC e.g. "RUZYNE TOWER CSA ONE HUNDRED STOPPING"
CM1 Set parking brake and alert the cabin crew by PA "ATTENTION, CREW AT STATIONS"
CM2 Update CM1 with observations and indications related with the fault.
CM1 Verify these observations by a quick cross-check and agree or call for a new evaluation,
if not convinced. Name the problem and identify the location with announcement e.g.
"LEFT/RIGHT ENGINE FIRE"
CM1 Initiate ON GND ENG FIRE procedure. Order "ON GROUND ENGINE FIRE - MEMORY

TECHNIQUES
Deceleration of an aircraft from high taxi speed just before lift-of back to a stop in shortest time is a
manoeuvre that can create problems which were initially not associated with the cause for take off
abort. There might be directional control problems, tire damage, hot brakes, wheel fires and the risk of
leaving the runway.
The purpose of a rejected take off manoeuvre is to stop the aircraft within the accelerate stop distance
on the runway after a problem has occurred during take off roll. Therefore taking off from a limiting
runway with balance field length a decision to reject at speed close to V1 must immediately be made,
otherwise the aircraft will not come to a stop on the runway. Performance calculations consider only
one second for the decision whether to abort or not. There is an additional allowance of another two
seconds to bring the aircraft into the optimum abort configuration with maximum braking effect.
Experience has evidenced that rejected take-offs were sometimes hazardous even though the
performance was correctly calculated, based on flight tests. This may be due to following factors:
Since above 70 kt, rejecting the take-off becomes a serious action which may lead to a hazardous
situation in particular as speed approaches V1, be ’’Go-minded’’ if none of the main failures has
occurred.
The decision to reject a take off shall be made by the CM1 in time so that stopping action can begin
by V1. It is therefore obliged that the CM1 keeps his hand on the PLs until V1 is reached whether he
is PF or PNF. If take off abort was not already initiated at V1, this means a go decision.
When CM1 makes a decision to reject the take-off he shall take in account reports and
announcements of other crew members in the cockpit. If CM2 as PNF scans the airspeed and engine
instruments throughout the take-off he shall call out each abnormality he has detected.
A commander operating in the right-hand seat may give a command to the CM1 to reject the take-off
in order to avoid a delay or if it seems to be necessary.

EMERGENCY PROCEDURES 2.04.05
P 14 OK
F.C.O.M. MISCELLANEOUS FEB 01
If the aircraft is dispatched with a known defect, which can activate CCAS or local alert, the CM1
should brief to ignore such warning.
It is not possible to list all the factors which could lead to the decision to reject the take-off, but in
order to help in the decision process, when the TO INHI light illuminates blue, the CCAS inhibits
warnings which are not paramount until the gear retraction at take-off.
The speed of 70 ks was chosen in order to help the CM1 make his decision to reject a take off and
avoid unnecessary stops from high speed.
The decision to reject the take-off may be taken at the discretion of the CM1, according to the
circumstances.
Prior to 70 kt, the take-should be rejected for system failure(s),unusual noise or vibration, tyre failure,
abnormally slow acceleration, engine failure, engine fire, unsafe take-off configuration warning, or if
the aeroplane is unsafe or unable to fly. Discontinuing the take-off should be seriously considered if
any CCAS warning is activated.
Rejecting the take-off is a more serious matter, particularly on slippery runways and could lead to a
hazardous situation when speed is close V1.
The decision to reject take-off should only be taken for a very few causes the main ones being:
Nose gear vibration should not lead to a rejected take-off above 70kt.
Flight characteristic
In case of single reverse operation roll control must be applied (possibly to full travel) in order to
minimise the tendency to bank on the side of the operating engine.

ALERT
An engine flame out may be recognized by:
- Sudden dissymmetry
- TQ decrease
- Rapid ITT decrease
PROCEDURE
COMMENTS
- Shut down the engine if no immediate relight.
- The causes of engine flame out can generally be divided into two categories:
• External causes such as icing, very heavy turbulence, fuel mismanagement. These causes,
which may affect both engines can generally be easily determined and an immediate relight can
be attempted.
• Internal causes which as engine stalls or failures usually affect a single engine and are not so
easily determined. In these cases, the engine is shut down then the cause of the flame out
investigated. If it cannot be positively determined what caused the flame out, the need for engine
restart should be evaluated against the risk of further engine damage or fire that may result from
a restart attempt.
- If damage is suspected, as precautionary measure, the FIRE handle is pulled.

COMMENTS
- Expect NP blocked at 102.5 % (overspeed stop)
- Do not set PLs below FI before nose wheel is on ground.
- Reverse is not available because the secondary low pitch stop retraction solenoïd is
disabled that forbids the blades to go below the low pitch protection.
- When the PEC is deenergized a NP cancel signal is sent to the EEC to cancel the EEC
NP governing mode (that controls the NP speed at 850 rpm) on ground.
- ACW may be lost if NP drops below 65.5 % on the affected engine.
- CL is set to OVRD to minimize NP transient when PEC is switched OFF/RESET.

INTRODUCTION
The engine power control is achieved by power lever (PL) and condition lever
(CL).
These controls act on three main components:
Reserve take-off
This rating corresponds to the maximum thrust certified for take-off. It is
automatically selected by the ATPCS system in case of engine failure. Time
limit is 10 minutes.
Maximum continuous
The maximum continuous rating corresponds to the maximum thrust
certified for continuous use.
IT MUST ONLY BE USED TO ENSURE SAFE FLIGHT IN CASE OF
EMERGENCY, PARTICULARLY ENGINE FAILURE.
Maximum climb
The maximum climb rating corresponds to the maximum thrust approved
for normal climb operation.
Maximum cruise
The maximum cruise rating corresponds to the maximum thrust approved
for normal cruise operation.
Go around
It is the maximum rating authorized for go-around.

TAKE-OFF 3.03.01
P1 001
GENERAL NOV 99
AA
The methodology for the determination of the maximum take off weight is described in
the chapter 6-03 of the Airplane Flight Manual, which is the official reference.
As this way is long and complex, ATR pilots and dispatchers may have two other
possibilities to improve efficiency :
- the methodology described in 3-03-02 that gives non optimized results but can be
used on board
- the Regulatory Take-Off Weight (RTOW) charts, generated with the Flight Operations
Software (FOS), that give very accurate results before the flight.
TAKE-OFF CONDITIONS
Different weather conditions may be encountered at the take-off :
D NORMAL CONDITIONS
D ATMOSPHERIC ICING CONDITIONS
Atmospheric icing conditions exist when OAT on the ground and for take-off is at or
below 5°C or when TAT in flight is at or below 7°C and visible moisture in any form is
present (clouds, fog with visibility of less than one mile, rain, snow, sleet and ice
crystals).
D GROUND ICING CONDITIONS
Ground icing conditions exist when OAT on the ground is at or below 5°C and when
surface snow, standing water, or slush is present on the ramps, taxiways and runways.
Note : TAKE-OFF IS PROHIBITED when frost, snow or ice is adhering to the wings,
control surfaces or propellers.
Different runway conditions may be encountered :
D dry
D wet (less than 1/8 inch or 3 mm of water)
D contaminated by :
R - water or slush between 1/8 and 1/2 inch (3 and 12.7 mm)
R - loose snow, must be considered as slush. To determine the equivalent slush
R depth, multiply the loose snow depth by : 1.25 x (actual loose snow density)
- compact snow
- ice
D damp : a runway is damp when it is not perferctly dry, but when the water does not give
it a shiny appearance.
For a damp runway, we do not consider any performance limitation.
The quick reference tables QRT (3.03.04) are to be used in relation with the method
described in 3.03.02 page 3 by the airlines that do not have the FOS.
The QRT are RTOW charts computed with the FOS, but not optimized.
F In case of non limiting (NL) runway, the maximum take-off weight is the maximum
structural take-off weight and the take-off speeds must be read in the 3.03.05
chapter or in the quick reference handbook, associated with the actual take-off
weight.
F In case of limiting runway, a maximum take-off weight and the associated speeds
are provided in the chart.
The limitation is indicated under a specific code form :
1 = structure 5 = tyre speed
2 = 2nd segment 6 = brakes energy
3 = runway 7 = runway 2 engines
4 = obstacle 8 = final take-off
The limitation code appears always twice in order to cover optimization taking into
account two simultaneous limitations (2-2 means 2nd segment only ; 2-4 means both
2nd segment and obstacle limitation).
The actual take-off weight must be less or equal to the computed maximum take-off
weight.
R The take-off speeds to be used must be speeds indicated in the chart, even if the
actual weight is lower than the computed weight.
Note : Due to the conservative definition of NL area a gap can be encountered between
NL speeds and FOS optimized speeds when the computation case is at the NL
border.

AIR CONDITIONING
To take into account the effect of AIR CONDITIONING OFF add to the runway length the
∆L correction given in the following table :
LENGTH ∆L
AIR COND. ON AIR COND. OFF
750 m (2460 ft) 0 m (0 ft)
1000 m (3280 ft) 10 m (30 ft)
1500 m (4920 ft) 25 m (80 ft)
2000 m (6560 ft) 45 m (140 ft)
2500 m (8200 ft) 65 m (210 ft)
3000 m (9840 ft) 85 m (270 ft)
Note : The FOS, in accordance with AFM, takes into account a conservative
performance decrement linked to the thermodynamical limitation of the engine.
If the day conditions authorize a mechanical limit operation of the engine (i.e
torque bleed ON = 90 % for TO and 100 % for RTO), the take-off may be performed
air conditioning ON without performance penalty.
RUNWAY SLOPE
R Runway slope between - 2 % and + 2 %
Decrease the runway length by 700 m (2300 ft) for 1 % uphill slope.
For a better accuracy, use the chart given in 3.03.02 page 5 or 6.
WIND
Decrease the runway length by 500 m (1640 ft) for 10 kt tailwind.
QNH
To use a chart computed at the standard pressure when the actual QNH is not standard,
follow the hereafter procedure :
1) With the actual wind and temperature, if necessary corrected by air conditioning
influence, enter the chart and read the take-off weight and the associated limitation.
3) With the new TOW, enter again the chart to interpolate the take-off speeds.
1 - Contaminated runway
At take off, the aircraft lateral controllability depends on :
- the exact contaminant characteristics,
- the cross wind component,
- the runway width and visual references.
Since these factors do not allow sufficient accuracy for predicting the effect of
asymmetrical reverse thrust, it is therefore not recommended to use single engine reverse
thrust for take-off on contaminated runway.
Performances without reverser only are to be used for flight preparation.
2 - Wet runways
In this particular condition, the single reverser use is perfectly controllable and leads to the
minimum stop distance in case of rejected take-off.

ICING CONDITIONS
The QRT are computed with V2/VSR = 1,222 and V1/VR = 1.
R In case of ground icing conditions, if atmospheric icing conditions do not exist, the V2/VS
R speed ratio may be the same as in normal conditions.
Note : All regulatory limitations are taken into account in the QRT, except the structural
limitation.
When the QRT indicates a weight value above the certified structural value, that
means that the runway is NL in the conditions of computation of the QRT.
In any cases, the actual TOW must always be less than the certified MTOW

Climb charts are established for two indicated speeds (160 kt, 190 kt) and for
standard temperature (ISA) at Climb Power with Air conditioning in normal mode.
Corrections are given to take into account the temperature effect.
When using air conditioning in high mode, increase fuel consumption by 6.5 % (160 kt)
or 8.5 % (190 kt).
All charts are established with a center of gravity location corresponding to 25%.
OPERATIONAL CEILING
The operational ceiling is the maximum altitude which can be reached with a minimum
rate of climb of 300 ft/mn (see 3.04.02 p 1).
INTRODUCTION
The Standard Instrument Departure Procedures (SID) can require a climb gradient to
clear obstacles or to join a flight level at a given distance.
The gross climb gradients are displayed in the following graphs for :
-One engine out - one engine at Maxi Continuous Power - IAS = Final Take Off Speed
If a departure requires a climb gradient X% between the two altitudes Z1 and Z2 (Z2>Z1) :
-if the climb gradient at Z2 (the highest altitude) is better than X, then the
procedure can be applied
-if the climb gradient at Z2 is lower than X, then determine the climb gradient at
0.5x (Z1 + Z2):
- if the climb gradient at 0.5x(Z1 + Z2) is better than X then the SID
procedure can be applied
- if the climb gradient at 0.5x(Z1 + Z2) is lower than X then the SID
can not be used

Cruise charts are established from FL 60 to FL 250 for different ISA conditions with air
conditioning in normal mode.
As soon as flight level is reached, select PWR MGT on CRZ position.
R When using air conditioning in high mode increase fuel consumption by 3 % and

INTRODUCTION NOV 99
AA
Descent charts are established in clean configuration for 3 sped laws (200, 220,
240 kt) and one reference weight (15 T = 33 000 Lb).
Two kinds of descent are proposed :
D at given rate
from cruise altitude, descent at 1500 ft/mn (or 2000 ft/mn with pressurization in
FAST mode)
1) set power to reach the desired descent speed
2) maintain descent speed and rate of descent
D at given gradient
R from cruise altitude, descent at chosen gradient (3° with pressurization in NORMAL
R mode, 4° or 5° with pressurization in FAST mode)
1) set power to reach the desired descent speed
2) maintain descent speed and gradient of descent
R
From 1500 ft to final landing, the tables are calculated with time and fuel allowances of :
- 3 mn for the time
- 30 kg (66 lb) for the consumption
WEIGHT CORRECTION
- Increase the fuel consumption by :
+ 2.5 % at 1500 ft of rate of descent
+ 5.0 % at 2000 ft of rate of descent
+ 2.5 % at 3° descent gradient
+ 3.5 % at 4° descent gradient
+ 5 % at 5° descent gradient
for a 1000 kg (2200 Lb) weight decrease
- No correction for weight increase
- No influence on time and distance

In both cases, operative engine is at MCT power (NP = 100 %). Air conditioning is ON above
10000 ft, OFF below.
Atmospheric icing conditions exist when TAT in flight is at or below 7°C and visible moisture in any
form is present (clouds, fog with visibility of less than one mile, rain, snow, sleet and ice crystals).
Note: All performance data given for ICING CONDITIONS derive from flight tests measurements

¦ If engine failure occurs before the critical point, the aeroplane must return to an aerodrome
where a landing can be made (designated "R").
¨ In case of engine failure between critical points where leg is designated "XX", it is impossible
either to continue the flight or return without flying below the minimum altitude required above
the obstacles. Flight in these conditions is therefore forbidden.
ª If engine failure occurs between critical points where leg is designated ". .", aircraft can either
fly ahead or return to an aerodrome where a landing can be made.

PROCEDURE
J If obstacle problem exists
In order to maintain the highest level possible, the drift down procedure should be used :
D MCT on operative engine
R D Action related to decision points
D Deceleration in flight level down to drift down speed which then will be maintained
(IAS mode)
- In normal conditions VMLB0
- In icing conditions VMLB15 (flaps 15 will be selected when below VFE)
D LO BANK mode selection
- If, having reached drift down ceiling altitude, obstacle problem persists, the drift
down procedure is continued to make an ascending cruise.
- If, after drift down, obstacles are cleared, the subsequent cruise will be performed
using MCT thrust on the remaining engine and the 1 engine cruise tables.
When possible FL 70/80 is recommended in order to optimize the cruise speed.
R
R
R
Drift down procedure is not necessary. A descent at maximum continuous power will
be performed at 200 kt IAS. When the vertical speed slows down to 500ft/mn maintain
this value by increasing the speed.
Aircraft will be levelled when reaching the chosen cruise altitude.
R When possible, FL 70/80 is recommended in order to optimize the speed.
Use 200 kt IAS descent tables (3.09.16 or 17) and 1 engine cruise tables (3.09.20 or
25).
R

METHOD OF USE
Choose in the next pages, the table corresponding to atmospheric conditions (normal or

F.C.O.M. FUEL POLICY JAN 07
FUEL AMOUNT
The Commander is responsible for the required quantity of fuel for the given flight. The required
quantity of fuel must be in accordance with JAR-OPS1 regulations.
The required amount of fuel can be determined in the OFP in accordance with "Determination of the
quantities of fuel and oil" published in the OM-A.
Computation of the required amount is normally made automatically by the Jeppesen JetPlan when
processing the OFP.
Exceptionally, when a connection to the Jeppesen JetPlan is not available, the required amount of
fuel shall be determined by using the graph given in 3.10.02 with a good approximation.
Computations include the average quantities for taxi in and out, take-off initial climb, approach and
landing.
5 % of trip fuel is included in the computation.

DISPATCH INTRODUCTION NOV 00
Many dispatches may be taken into account using the FOS software that given
accurate computation.
GENERAL
Extended overwater flight is not allowed. It is necessary to take into account the
increased drag to determine the take-off weight and fuel consumption.
FLIGHT PLANNING
Climb
Climb at VmHB0 icing (1.5 VSR) with both engines at maximum climb power setting. The
tables in 3.11.01 p 2 to 5 give the time, distance and fuel consumption according to
take-off weight.
Cruise
R
The maximum recommended altitude is 16000 ft.
R The maximum cruise speed is 165 kt.
Pages 3.11.01 p 6 to 9 give cruise tables at this maximum speed.
Obviously, the ceiling on one engine may be a limiting factor, and the choice of the route
should reflect this concern.
Engine failure
The weight penalty on single engine ceiling computation is 15 %, consequently
decrease the single engine ceiling by :
ACTUAL WEIGHT KG (lb) ISA - 10 ISA ISA + 10 ISA + 20
18 600 (41005) - 22 % - 23 % - 27 % - 31 %
17 500 (38580) - 18 % - 20 % - 22 % - 24 %
16 500 (36375) and below - 17 % - 19 % - 21 % - 22 %

GENERAL DESCRIPTION DEC 05
AA
R Operations Engineering Bulletins, OEB, are issued by ATR, under supervision of Flight
Test Department, as the need arises to transmit in advance technical or procedural
information before technical solutions is developped and implemented.ALL OEB are
R distributed to ALL FCOM holders.Information in OEB is responsibility of ATR in the same
manner as the whole FCOM, and may not be approved by Airworthiness Authorities at the
R time of release.In case of conflict with the certified Flight Manual, the latter will
R supersede.When an operator implements a modification cancelling an OEB, this operator
may not take into account this OEB anymore for the concerned aircraft.

2 - Background information
If the engine is shut-off or the propeller brake applied too early after the propeller
feathering, the subsequent oil pressure loss does not allow the propeller blades to
reach the correct feather pitch angle. This will induce a discrepancy detection by the
PEC internal monitoring, thus causing an undue PEC FAULT warning.
3 - ATR action
ATR WILL ISSUE A MODIFICATION TO ELIMINATE THIS PROBLEM, NO LATER
THAN
MAR 96.
4 - Procedure
Before shutting off an engine or applying the propeller brake, allow a 30 seconds
minimum delay after the feathering action.
In the PEC OFF condition, if the NP becomes inferior to 77% at idle power, the engine
eventually will not spool up when advancing the power lever.
2. BACKGROUND
Np < 77% at idle power is never reached at normal operating speeds, therefore this
problem could only be met in training flights during stall exercices or touch and go
maneuvers.
3. ATR ACTION
4. PROCEDURES
- Training : In the PEC OFF condition touch and go and stall maneuvers are
prohibited.
