Introduction
The CTC Aviation (Ab-initio Training) Operations Manual governs the pilot training courses
offered by the Company in accordance with EASA Part ORA. It is a Controlled Document as
defined in the Company Quality System and it is approved by the UK CAA and acceptable to the
Director of the CAA NZ.
The Manual is issued by the Head of Training (Ab-initio Training) and its provisions are
mandatory for Staff and Trainee pilots. The general orders apply to each of CTC Aviation’s sites
- Bournemouth, Nursling, Hamilton and Phoenix - except where specified in the respective
paragraph heading.
All Staff and Trainee pilots are obliged to read, and sign as having read, the Operations Manual
on first being employed in training or testing Trainees, or joining a course. Subsequently, they
are to sign for any amendment as soon as possible after the issue of the amendment.
Errors in, omissions from, or suggested amendments to the document should be submitted to
the Head of Training (HT). The HT may issue advanced notices of amendments in the form of
Notices to Crew (NOTOCs). NOTOCs have the effect of superseding the orders contained herein
until such a time as an approved amendment to this manual is issued by the HT or the NOTOCs
period of validity expires. The reading and signing of the NOTOCs is facilitated electronically
through the CAT Ops Web Site.
Some of the courses covered by this document are conducted in airspace not regulated by the
UK CAA. Where conflictions occur between the Regulating Authority’s requirements and those
of this document or EU legislation, the most restrictive of the conditions are to apply.

4.4 Continued Internal Compliance Monitoring
In all circumstances described above continued internal compliance monitoring is to be
maintained in accordance with procedures contained in the CTC Aviation Group Limited,
Compliance Monitoring System (CMS) Manual.
5. Document Control
Robust management of controlled documents is essential in order to maintain compliance
and establish the framework of standardisation across the ATO. Controlled documents
take two forms, printed hard copies and electronic versions available on CTC Aviation’s
cloud.
5.1 Description of the process
Following approval in accordance with the procedures outlined in para 4, a new controlled
document or an updated existing document will be published using the following
processes.
Controlled Hard Copies
Operations Manual
CATOperationsManualV4.6 Page 20 of 166
When notified by email the administration teams located at the Crew Training Centres
will print and distribute hard copies in accordance with the distribution list contained
at the front of the new document. Where applicable, they will remove and destroy all
older versions of the new document.
CTC Cloud
A new controlled document will be made available to all users in PDF format from CTC
Aviation’s cloud. All manuals and documents contained on the site will be the current
edition. When a new document becomes available, users will be informed by email,
receipt of which is to be acknowledged. Once accessed and downloaded, that copy of
the document becomes uncontrolled and it is the responsibility of the user to ensure
that they are consulting the latest published edition.
6. Trainee Discipline and Disciplinary Action
6.1 Punctuality
6.1.1 All flying training is conducted with strict adherence to scheduled times, in the
same manner as an airline operation. In particular:
All Trainees are to report for duty at least one hour, or earlier if required by the
Instructor, before the scheduled time of departure (‘brakes off’ time). In the case of a
simulator flight, this minimum time is reduced to 30 minutes.
With regard to theory training, Trainees must arrive at such a time as to be ready to
commence the scheduled training on time.
Repeated instances of unpunctuality may result in disciplinary action being taken
against a Trainee.
6.2 Standard of Dress and Grooming
For a full description of the required standards of dress and grooming reference should
be made to the details contained in the Uniform and Personal Standards section of the
Joining Details and Trainee Handbook. In broad terms the minimum standards required
are summarised below:
6.2.1 Instructors and Trainees shall wear their uniform as issued at all times when on
duty, including epaulettes. In addition to the issued items, Instructors and
Trainees shall wear plain black shoes and black socks, CTC company tie/scarf
and their identity cards.
6.2.2 All dress is to be clean, with neatly pressed shirt and trousers, and shoes
polished.
6.2.3 Hair is to be cut and styled as would be required in an airline
6.2.4 For males, no ponytails may be worn and any facial hair must be neat and trim
6.2.5 For females, hair must be worn in a tidy fashion, and if longer than shoulder
length must be worn up.
6.3 Disciplinary Action
All Trainees are required to sign either the Training Agreement with Airline Placement Ltd,
the sponsor for the CTC WINGS Programme, or a CAT (UK) Training Agreement for other
Trainees and are bound by the contents therein. Failure to do so will result in the actions
described in the contract.
7. Authorisation and Documentation of Flights
7.1 While operating in UK airspace, pilots are to comply with the UK Air Navigation Order
(ANO), Air Navigation (General) Regulations and the Rules of the Air.
Operations Manual
CATOperationsManualV4.6 Page 21 of 166
7.2 While operating in airspace under the Authority of CAA NZ, pilots are to comply with NZ
Civil Aviation Rules (CARs)
7.3 While operating in airspace under the Authority of the US FAA, pilots are to comply with
US Federal Aviation Regulations (FARs)
7.4 No requirement defined in this manual shall override the ANO, CARs or FARs.
7.5 All flights that take place under the jurisdiction of CAT are to be authorised in advance by
a CAT Instructor who is approved by the appropriate CFI for the purposes of authorising
the flight. Where a flight involves multiple sectors, each sector is to be authorised
separately as follows:
7.5.1 Dual Instructional Flights. The Instructor conducting the flight is to self-
authorise.
7.5.2 SPIC Flights. The Instructor who is accompanying the Trainee pilot is to
authorise the flight.
7.5.3 Solo and PIC Flights. For operations in the UK authorisations are to be in
accordance with the ANO. For operations in NZ authorisations are to be in
accordance with the NZ CARs and completion of the Trainee Flight Authorisation
form - Appendix 41. For operations in the USA authorisations are to be in
accordance with the FARs.
7.5.4 Flights by Qualified Pilots. Flights by qualified staff pilots are to be self-
authorised or authorised by a CAT Instructor when under training. Such
authorisation merely confirms that the nature of the intended flight is acceptable
to CAT.
7.6 Duty Flight Instructor (DFI) in NZ - DFIs will be nominated daily and displayed on the
electronic schedule. Their role is to provide a second tier of supervision for solo trainees.
The primary purpose is to promote flight safety and to monitor that solo pilots are
operating in accordance with published information as well as the company standard
operating procedures outlined within the Operations and Training manuals. DFI Duties
and responsibilities are defined in RG010.
7.7 Trainee pilots exercising the privileges of their PPL when flying CAT aircraft must be
authorised in accordance with 7.5.3 above.
7.8 Technical Logs
7.8.1 After each flight, the following information is to be entered into the technical log
by the PIC:
Take-off and landing times – (UTC – UK, Local time – NZ and USA);
Number of landings - (UK and USA)
7.8.2 In the UK and USA - If no further defects have arisen since the previous flight, ‘no
further defects’ (or ‘NFD’) is to be entered in the technical log and signed by the
PIC.
7.8.3 In NZ - On completion of the flight the PIC is to sign if the aircraft is serviceable
or unserviceable.
7.8.4 Defects that do not affect the airworthiness of the aircraft and which appear on
the Acceptable Deferred Defects List (ADDL) are to be entered in the technical log
but may be deferred by an Instructor or engineer. In this event, the aircraft may
be flown before the defect is cleared, but the defect must be entered into the
ADDL page in the technical log.
Operations Manual
CATOperationsManualV4.6 Page 22 of 166
7.9 Electronic Flight Log Database Entry
To facilitate the prompt and accurate recording of flight times and details, all events are
to be recorded using the Electronic Flight Log Database Entry.
It is the PIC responsibility to enter the flight details into the data base immediately after
flight. Certain required details are also to be entered onto the paper authorisation sheet
prior to the flight to ensure flight responsibilities and authorisation is recorded. For
synthetic flight training times and details it is the instructor’s responsibility to enter the
session details into the data base immediately after the completion of the event.
8. Preparation of Flying Programme
8.1 A flying programme is to be prepared each working day for the following working day.
The programme as approved is to reflect the priorities as determined at the weekly
Training Delivery Meeting. It is to take into account:
Forecast weather
Course and individual Trainee progress
Ground school attendance,
Expected aircraft and STD availability
Expected Instructor and Trainee availability
Known airspace restrictions and NOTAMs
8.2 In allocating aircraft to Instructors and Trainees, the scheduler is to consider the
following:
Aircraft equipment requirements of different syllabus lessons
Allocation of Instructors to Trainees - the primary instructor should be first choice,
followed by the Trainee’s secondary instructor.
8.3 The flying programme is to be displayed on a board or electronic display in the
Operations Room showing the:
Aircraft or simulator number
Planned departure and arrival times
Names of the crew
Lesson number
8.4 The flying programme may display additional information such as ground school lectures,
classroom allocation and phase briefs, but not such that it detracts from or obscures the
mandatory items at paragraph 8.3.
8.5 The next day’s flying programme should be published no later than 18:00 local time and
any late changes required after 20:00 must be reported directly to the Trainee by
operations staff.
8.6 The flying programme should be amended by the Operations Manager, or their appointed
substitutes, to account for real time changes to the published programme.
9. Command of Aircraft
9.1 Before acting as PIC of a CAT aircraft, all pilots, other than Trainee pilots flying a syllabus
Solo lesson, must be in possession of a valid pilot licence. In order to be deemed valid:
9.1.1 the licence and medical certificate must both be within their respective validity
periods and, where appropriate, be signed by the licence holder
Operations Manual
CATOperationsManualV4.6 Page 23 of 166

26.3 The use of normal and non-normal approved and controlled checklists is mandatory. All
checklists will comply with the guidance provided by the aircraft manufacturer and pilot
use of all approved checklists is to be in accordance with CTC procedures. Unapproved
and uncontrolled checklists shall not be used.
27. Aircraft Handling
27.1 Aircraft Checks Before Flight
The PIC is responsible for ensuring that, before each flight, the aircraft is checked in
accordance with the approved checklist for that aircraft. Particular attention is to be paid
to the following:
27.1.1 in winter, ensure that the airframe is free of all ice, snow and frost prior to
attempting to move any control surfaces
27.1.2 prior to the aircraft’s first flight of the day, ensure that the fuel has been properly
checked, using a sampler, for the presence of water or other contaminants
27.1.3 prior to take-off, ensure that all doors and windows, and all seat belts, are
secure.
27.2 Aircraft Turnaround Inspection
27.2.1 After satisfactory completion and certification of the pre-flight inspection by a
licensed pilot, engineer or authorised Trainee, all subsequent aircraft inspections
on the same day may be turnaround inspections.
27.2.2 At their discretion, Instructors may sign for the full pre-flight inspection when
carried out by an unauthorised Trainee.
27.3 Turnaround Inspection Procedures
27.3.1 The turnaround inspection must follow the normal inspection direction as
specified in the aircraft flight manual and must remain structured.
27.3.2 Consumables should be checked (Fuel / Oil / Anti-ice) and fuel drain carried out
after refuelling as required followed by a walk around which should then include
an inspection for signs of fluid stains, security of covers and doors, condition of
tyres, condition of the airframe, control surfaces and propellers etc.
27.4 Aircraft Ground Handling
27.4.1 Aircraft are to be manoeuvred on the ground either under their own power or
using the tow bars provided. They are not to be pushed or pulled using any part
of the airframe or propellers, other than those areas approved for such purpose
by the aircraft manufacturer.
27.4.2 Multi-engine aircraft may only be manoeuvred under their own power when
manned by, and under the direct supervision/command of, a suitably qualified
person who holds a current multi-engine rating for the specific type of aircraft.
Operations Manual
CATOperationsManualV4.6 Page 38 of 166
27.5 Precautions When Starting Engines
27.5.1 Prior to starting the engines, the pilot shall ensure that they are aware of the
position of the nearest fire extinguisher and carries out a comprehensive lookout
to the front, sides and behind the aircraft. Consideration shall be given to
slipstream effect.
27.5.2 Pilots are to ensure that if they are unable to see whether people are clear of the
aircraft prior to start, they are to shout “Clear prop” in such a manner that
anyone near the aircraft will be able to hear the warning.
27.5.3 No engines are to be started when the aircraft is partly or wholly inside a hangar,
or when the slipstream will be directed through open hangar doors, or may cause
disruption or damage to persons or other aircraft or equipment.
27.5.4 Before starting the engines, pilots are to ensure there is sufficient space ahead to
taxi the aircraft.
27.5.5 During the day, the aircraft strobes are to be turned on prior to start up. At
night, pilots are to ensure that the navigation lights are illuminated and the
landing light is flashed twice prior to starting the engines.
27.5.6 Instructors or Trainees are not permitted to start engines by hand swinging the
propeller.
27.6 Starting Engines using Ground Power
The following procedures are promulgated for use during external power starting and
complement procedures contained in the AFM.
27.6.1 When required to use external power, pilots are to thoroughly familiarise
themselves with external power procedures in the flight manual.
27.6.2 Standard hand signals (refer Reference Guide RG002 – extracts from CAP393 sec
2) are to be used between the pilot and external operator.
27.6.3 Prior to connecting the external power supply to the aircraft, its master switch
and the aircraft’s electric master switch are to be confirmed “off” and the
external operator will confirm the correct voltage has been selected.
27.6.4 The external power supply is to be positioned in view of the pilot and clear of
propellers. Once connected no slack is to be left in the cable.
27.6.5 The external operator is to position himself in full view of the pilots.
27.6.6 The pilots will commence the “Before Engine Start” check-list, taking care to give
all hand signals to the external operator at the correct times and to receive
acknowledgements.
27.6.7 After start when the external power has been disconnected the external operator
will show the pilots the power source and its cable
27.6.8 The pilots will acknowledge sight of the ground equipment and formally dismiss
the external operator with a thumbs up which he will acknowledge.
27.6.9 The pilot is then to continue with the normal check-list.
27.7 Engine Testing and Run-Up Prior to Take-Off
27.7.1 Where possible, the aircraft is to be positioned into wind before performing run-
up checks. Where this is not possible, the aircraft is to be positioned at an angle
of approximately 45 degrees to the taxiway to avoid slipstream damage to any
aircraft behind.
27.7.2 Before use of high power settings on the ground, pilots are to ensure the area
behind the aircraft is clear of people and obstructions.
Operations Manual
CATOperationsManualV4.6 Page 39 of 166
27.7.3 At airfields with designated run-up areas, pilots are to use these areas for engine
checks and run-ups.
27.8 Turns After Take-off
27.8.1 Pilots are not to commence turns after take-off until in excess of 500ft above
ground level, except where required by published noise abatement orders or
when requested by ATC to help expedite the flow of departing traffic. When
requested, the turn shall not be commenced below 300ft agl and the angle of
bank shall not exceed 15 degrees until the aircraft has reached 500ft agl.
27.9 Aerobatic, Spinning and Stalling Manoeuvres
27.9.1 Before any course approved aerobatic manoeuvre is carried out, a HASELL check
is to be completed.
27.9.2 Aerobatic manoeuvres may only be flown in an aircraft cleared for such
manoeuvres in the aircraft flight manual.
27.9.3 Dual training flight aerobatic manoeuvres are permitted only with an
appropriately qualified CAT flying instructor.
27.9.4 Trainee solo aerobatic manoeuvres are not permitted.
27.9.5 Recovery from aerobatic and spinning manoeuvres is to be achieved by 3,000 ft
agl.
27.9.6 Recovery from stalling manoeuvres is to be achieved by 2000ft agl under dual
training or 2500ft agl for solo practice. During flight tests and checks conducted
by approved examiners, stalling may be conducted at a lower altitude, provided
that the recovery is achieved by 1500ft agl.
27.10 Instrument training view limiting devices
27.10.1 After guidance on acceptability from the UK CAA the following or similar view
limiting devices are to be used for instrument training:
Jeppessen style goggles
View limiting visor specifically for limited panel training.
27.11 Formation Flying
27.11.1 Formation flying in CAT aircraft is prohibited except where authorised in advance
by the HT.
27.12 Practice Forced Landings
27.12.1 Pilots shall practice forced landings under the supervision of an Instructor.
27.12.2 Solo practice of forced landings is to be carried out only after briefing by an
Instructor. Pilots may conduct glide approaches at their own discretion once
they have been cleared solo for the exercise.
27.12.3 Repeated practice of forced landings away from an airfield are not to be carried
out in the same area to minimise disruption to people and animals on the
ground. Pilots are to make themselves aware of any particularly noise-sensitive
areas, and must avoid them.
27.12.4 When a practice forced landing is conducted away from an airfield, the go-around
is to be initiated by 500 ft agl, or 500ft above the highest obstacle, whichever is
higher, unless, in the case of dual flights only, and within approved areas, the PIC
is able to ascertain that the aircraft will not come within 500ft of any persons,
vehicles, animals, structures or vessels. In any event, the go-around is to be
initiated by 200 ft agl, or 200ft above the highest obstacle, whichever is higher.
Operations Manual
CATOperationsManualV4.6 Page 40 of 166
27.12.5 Engine Failure after Take-off (EFATO) is to be initiated only by an Instructor or
Examiner. Aircraft are not to be placed in a position which contravenes the low
flying rules. When required ATC should be notified in advance by the Instructor
prior to executing the EFATO and the climb away. EFATO simulation may not be
initiated until the aircraft is at least 300ft agl.
27.13 Flight over Water
27.13.1 Pilots are not permitted to operate at a height less than that required to execute
a safe landing on land in the event of a single engine failure, except when the
flight is specifically approved by the HT.
27.14 Flight in IMC with Thunderstorm Activity
27.14.1 Aircraft are not to be operated in IMC where known or forecast embedded
thunderstorm activity is expected to occur, except when supporting
meteorological evidence (radar images and recent reports provided by pilots
and/or ATC ) indicates that the actual conditions are not as per the forecast and
approval has been granted by the respective CFI. Additionally the Garmin 1000
storm scope is not to be relied upon to provide accurate information on
thunderstorm activity. Its primary purpose is to provide a broad picture of distant
activity to assist in early decision making to navigate clear of the affected area.
27.15 Low Flying Regulations
27.15.1 Pilots are to comply at all times with low flying regulations.
27.15.2 Within the UK and USA, company aircraft are not to be flown within 500ft of
persons, vehicles, animals, structures or vessels.
27.15.3 Within New Zealand, aircraft are not to be flown below 500ft agl, except within
the low flying areas where, dual only, the minimum height is to be 200ft agl.
27.15.4 Pilots on cross-country flights are to comply with all the rules concerning low
flying, such as the minimum height over built up areas and the ability to glide
clear of hostile terrain in the event of an engine failure.
27.16 Operation of Circuit Breakers
27.16.1 Electrical circuit breakers (CBs) shall not be pulled in flight to simulate non-
normal or emergency scenarios.
27.16.2 If a CB is activated in flight as a result of a system malfunction the PIC should
comply with safest practice and normally not re-set the CB unless the electrical
system is critical to safe flight.
27.17 Intentional Engine Shutdown in Flight for Training and Testing
27.17.1 The intentional shutdown of an engine in flight is to be performed only in a
multi-engine aircraft and under the supervision of a qualified FI, CRI, or CAA
authorised multi-engine Examiner.
27.17.2 The engine shutdown (and subsequent restart procedure) is to be carried out in
accordance with the aircraft flight manual.
27.17.3 Before moving a critical switch or lever as part of an intentional engine shut-
down drill, the crew member carrying out the drill is to receive verbal
confirmation from the other crew member that they have their hand on the
correct switch or lever. After such confirmation is obtained, there is to be a
momentary pause between touching the item and actually moving it.
27.17.4 The PIC is to ensure that the engine shutdown is completed in VMC above
3,000ft agl, except that the HT or DHT may permit an engine shutdown at a
lower altitude if further compensating safety factors are applied.
Operations Manual
CATOperationsManualV4.6 Page 41 of 166
27.17.5 During the operation of the landing gear with one engine shutdown the DA42 is
exposed to high electrical loads. During training flights and simulated non
normal scenarios involving an engine shutdown this is not to coincide with
another scenario involving the lowering of the landing gear; such as actual
engine shutdown from simulated engine fire followed by an emergency descent.
27.18 Simulated Engine Shutdown Multi Engine
27.18.1 For the purposes of simulating an engine failure, the Instructor or Examiner is to
close the power lever of the appropriate engine, while masking the view of the
power lever from the Trainee.
27.18.2 The Trainee is to clearly identify the failed engine by calling out “left (right)
engine failure”, followed by the appropriate touch drill for simulated engine shut
down.
27.18.3 After the touch drill, the Instructor is to set “zero thrust”. On the DA42, the zero
thrust setting is to be 12% load. On successful completion of drills the power
lever may be advanced to a greater setting in order to silence the configuration
warning whilst still retaining some asymmetric effect.
27.19 Asymmetric Committal Altitude and Asymmetric Go Around
27.19.1 The following definitions are used in this paragraph:
27.19.1.1 Asymmetric Committal Altitude (ACA): the lowest altitude from which a
light multi-engine aircraft can make a successful go-around when
asymmetric, whether IMC or VMC.
27.19.1.2 Engine Out Allowance (EOA): the height needed for the transition from
descending to climbing flight when asymmetric. The engine out
allowance is added to the decision altitude on a precision approach
when asymmetric and should be considered when determining when to
initiate go-around when carrying out a non-precision approach using a
notional glidepath technique.
27.19.1.3 Blue Line Speed: the best rate of climb IAS in a light multi-engine aircraft
when asymmetric.
27.19.2 When asymmetric (during training or actual asymmetric), the following applies:
the ACA is to be 200ft above runway elevation
the EOA is to be zero
27.19.3 On an asymmetric approach flaps should not be selected until the decision to
land has been made. Prior to flap selection the minimum speed should be
Flapless Vref.
27.19.4 During an asymmetric go-around, Blue Line Speed and balanced flight must be
accurately maintained whilst reducing drag, i.e. gear and flaps are to be retracted
as soon as possible.
27.20 Take-off and Landing – DA42 Aircraft
27.20.1 DA42 aircraft may only take off and land from suitable sealed runways. Take-off
and landing from grass is not approved unless specifically authorised by the HT.
27.21 Touch and Go or Stop and Go Landings in Multi Engine Aircraft
The following procedures are to be followed:
27.21.1 For flights where the pilot is to be trained or checked under single pilot
operations, after landing and when the aircraft is fully under control, the
instructor is to select the flaps and trim to the take-off position and shall initiate
Operations Manual
CATOperationsManualV4.6 Page 42 of 166
the command either to “go, go” or “stop, stop”. Until the command “go, go” is
called, the Trainee PF must not start to apply power.
27.21.2 For other flights, e.g. multi engine Instructor training, the use of the gear and the
flaps shall be thoroughly briefed prior to taxi so that each pilot is fully aware of
their responsibilities.
27.21.3 Solo touch and go landings are permissible only in a simple aircraft, without
retractable gear.
27.22 Accelerated Stop
27.22.1 The accelerate stop exercise must be pre-briefed and the permission of ATC
obtained prior to initiation.
27.22.2 The Instructor is to initiate the accelerated stop by calling “stop, stop” (after full
take-off power has been applied). The Trainee is then to smoothly fully retard
both power levers together, maintaining directional control on the centre-line of
the runway. Use of brakes is to be the minimum required for safety.
27.22.3 For the purposes of examination only, an Examiner may require the
demonstration of control subsequent to an engine failure during the take-off roll.
Prior to the demonstration, the Candidate is to be fully briefed. All other
requirements of 27.18 continue to apply.
27.22.4 The Instructor must not move the engine controls during the accelerated stop
(unless he needs to take control for safety reasons).
27.22.5 Runway length, width and prevailing conditions must be considered when
deciding on the initiation speed, and will not normally be greater than 50% of
take-off speed.
27.23 Wake Turbulence Separation
27.23.1 Wake turbulence is an insidious and serious threat to flight safety. To facilitate
both safe and discretionary operations, only CTC instructors are permitted to
accept reduced separation operations and only then after careful consideration
has been given to all contributory factors.
27.24 Carriage of Dangerous Goods and/or Cargo
27.24.1 Under no circumstances, may a CAT aircraft carry dangerous goods as defined by
the rules (EU-OPS; NZ CAR; US FARs).
27.24.2 Cargo carried is limited to aircraft equipment and to personal baggage such as a
flight case or overnight bag. Any cargo carried is to be secured so that it cannot
present a hazard to the safe conduct of the flight. Cargo carried is to be limited
to a minimum practical amount and must be included in the mass and balance
calculation.
28. Stabilised Approaches
In order to enhance safety, CTC conforms to a policy of stabilised approaches. For the
purposes of this policy a stabilised approach is deemed to have been achieved when an aircraft
meets defined criteria at pre-determined positions or gates and maintains those criteria
throughout the descent to the flare point over the runway.
28.1 The Gates
There are two gates at which the defined criteria must be met. They are the:
Approach Gate
Landing Gate
Operations Manual
CATOperationsManualV4.6 Page 43 of 166
The Approach Gate
For instrument approaches the gate is at 1000ft AAL.
For visual approaches the gate is at 400ft AAL.
The Landing Gate
The Landing Gate for both instrument and visual approaches is at 100ft AAL.
28.2 Approach Monitoring
Progress during the approach is continuously compared to the required criteria with a positive
check made at both the Approach and Landing gates. Progress beyond the gate is predicated
upon whether the criteria have been met or not and the subsequent action confirmed by a
standard call out. Where the approach is assessed as stable the approach is continued to the
next phase of the approach, when unstable a go –around is initiated. An unstable approach is
identified by deviations in excess of the required criteria.
Where non-normal approaches are to be flown, changes to configuration, speed, lateral and
vertical flight path and ROD are to be specifically briefed.
28.3 Criteria
The defined criteria fall into the following categories:
trim
configuration
ROD
speed
lateral and vertical flight path
Criteria at the Approach gate:
Trim Aircraft in trim
Gear Down
Flap Approach
Power Appropriate power set
Bank Angle <15°
V/S <1000ft/min
Speed Nominated approach speed +10 KIAS/-0 KIAS
Flight path Precision Approach, G/S and LOC within half scale deflection.
Non-Precision Approach, VOR/NDB +/- 5°, GNSS within half scale
deflection and on the published vertical profile.
Visual Approach aligned with the runway centre line and the nominated
vertical flight path.
Criteria at the Landing Gate:
Trim Aircraft in trim
Gear Down
Flap Landing
Power Appropriate power set
Bank Angle <15°
V/S Small changes to rate of descent (100 to 200ft/min) to maintain flight
path but nominally <500ft/min
Speed Vref
+10 KIAS/-0 KIAS
Flight path On the correct lateral and vertical flight path.
With ATC Landing clearance received, or
Without ATC Runway clear.
Operations Manual
CATOperationsManualV4.6 Page 44 of 166
28.4 Standard Call Outs
At the Approach Gate
For instrument approaches
1000 Stable or
1000 Not stable, Go-around
For visual approaches
400 Stable or
400 Not stable, Go-around
At the Landing Gate
100 Landing or
100 Go-around
28.5 Notwithstanding all of the above, pilots may elect to go-around during ANY stage of the
approach.
29. Altimeter Setting Procedures
29.1 Crew Training Centre Bournemouth
29.1.1 Company altimeter setting procedures are as defined in the aircraft check-lists.
Detailed guidance on altimeter setting procedures is to be found in the UK AIP.
29.1.2 In view of the high number of incidents (altitude busts), a systematic and
rigorous practice of altimetry must be adhered to during all phases of flight.
29.1.3 For the departure and climb, the correct setting for each altimeter is to be
checked every 1,000ft.
29.1.4 As soon as clearance to a flight level has been given, the main altimeter is to be
immediately set to the standard pressure setting (1013 hpa). If it is judged that
it would be disorientating to set 1013 on take-off (this particularly applies when
the QNH is very different from 1013), the setting of 1013 can be delayed, but
must always be set before passing the transition altitude.
29.1.5 For the descent, the correct setting for each altimeter is to be checked every
1,000ft.
29.1.6 As soon as a clearance to an altitude has been received, both altimeters are to be
immediately adjusted to this setting and cross-checked (to be within 50ft of each
other).
29.1.7 On the approach, the altimeters are to be checked, both having the correct QNH
setting and both reading the within 50ft of each other. This should specifically
be carried out at the final approach fix (or final approach point). If there is a
difference, the lowest altimeter is to be used for the approach.
29.1.8 In addition, correct altitude against defined positions, e.g. DME distance or
overhead a NDB, is to be practiced as defined on approach plates, both for non-
precision and precision approaches.
29.2 Crew Training Centre Hamilton

32. Loading & Performance
32.1 A mass and balance calculation must be completed for all CAT flights.
32.2 The PIC should be satisfied that the runways to be used for take-off and landing
(including any planned alternates) are of a suitable nature (e.g. length and surface) for the
actual and forecast weather (wind direction and strength, precipitation, braking action,
etc).
32.3 Reduced length take-offs are permitted from sealed runways to improve the efficiency of
aircraft flow only after it has been ascertained that the remaining take-off distance
available is compliant with the requirements specified in section 32.4 below. Pilots
should also carefully consider what effect the reduced length take-off will have on safety
margins in the event of an engine malfunction during initial climb out.
32.4 In determining performance, the following shall be complied with:
32.4.1 Aircraft flight manual performance graphs and any other relevant information
contained in the manual.
32.4.2 For training flights at Bournemouth conducted under EASA approval all flights
shall comply with IR-OPS 1 performance Class B requirements.
32.4.3 Training flights in NZ shall comply with, as a minimum NZCAR 91 performance
requirements in addition to 32.4.1 above, and:
32.4.4 For Commercial flight tests conducted at Hamilton (NZ) under the approval of
EASA, EU-OPS Subpart H Class B performance requirements in addition to 32.4.3
above, or;
32.4.5 For Flight tests conducted at Hamilton (NZ) for the purpose of obtaining NZ
national commercial licenses shall comply with NZ CAR 135 performance
requirements in addition to 32.4.3 above, or;
32.4.6 For all other flight tests conducted at Hamilton (NZ) for the purpose of obtaining
a commercial license or prime rating shall comply with the applicable national
commercial performance requirements in addition to 32.4.3 above.
32.4.7 For training flights at Phoenix conducted under EASA approval, as a minimum, US
FAR and POH/AFM performance requirements may be used. All commercial flight
tests shall comply with IR-OPS 1 performance Class B requirements.

32.5 Where doubt exists as to safety, all possible factors should be included within the
performance calculations.
33. Flight Planning
33.1 Fuel Policy
33.1.1 The actual level of the fuel in the tanks must always be checked visually or by
dipstick by the PIC (or other Crew Member given the responsibility by the PIC).
33.1.2 The fuel in each tank must be sampled for water or other impurities before the
first flight of the day and at other times if there is any doubt about the purity,
Operations Manual
CATOperationsManualV4.6 Page 50 of 166
e.g. heavy rain has occurred during the day or if there is considered to be a local
need to sample after refuelling.
33.1.3 For VFR operations, sufficient fuel is to be carried for start, taxi, intended flight
to destination aerodrome plus 10% contingency, plus a minimum of 45 minutes
reserve. In flight, pilots should plan to ensure the last landing is made with at
least 45 minutes endurance on board during normal and non-normal operations.
The decision to refuel at intermediate airports is to be planned to ensure
compliance with this policy.
33.1.4 For IFR operations, sufficient fuel shall be carried for start, taxi, intended flight to
destination aerodrome plus 10% contingency, and then to designated alternate
aerodrome plus 45 minutes reserve.
33.1.5 Where a flight is conducted in accordance with IFR for the purposes of training or
test, but the forecast and actual weather conditions would permit operations to
be conducted in VMC, the captain may elect to adopt the fuel policy stated in
paragraph 33.1.3 provided that:
33.1.5.1 a suitable second runway, either at the destination airfield or at a
nominated alternate airfield is available and,
33.1.5.2 the appropriate weather reports or forecasts for the destination and if
applicable, alternate airfield, indicate that VMC will prevail during a
period commencing one hour before and ending one hour after arrival.
33.1.5.3 the final landing is made with not less than 45 minutes flight time,
calculated using endurance power settings.
33.1.6 The fuel calculation section on the flight log form is to be completed for all
flights.
33.1.7 Crews should note that the fuel gauges in the aircraft may be inaccurate and
should not solely be relied upon as an indication of fuel state but the fuel gauges
should be used in combination with other factors such as the flight log and time
for gross error checking.
33.2 Oil Policy
33.2.1 The oil suited for a particular engine at any time will be determined by the
Engineers, whose advice should be sought if there is any doubt as to the correct
grade of oil to be used.
33.2.2 Although the minimum oil level required for flight is stated in the AFM, it is the
responsibility of the PIC to ensure that prior to carrying out a flight, the oil level
is to be located within (and will remain within for the duration of the flight,
assuming normal operating oil use) the normal operating levels specified below

39.2 Instructor Induction Procedure
39.2.1 All Instructors, before commencing to teach on a CAT Course at the Crew
Training Centre, will be required to follow the standard induction procedure.
39.2.2 The CFI will be responsible for conducting the induction programme and
ensuring that the new Instructor has achieved a sufficient level of knowledge and
skill before instructing commences. This level of achievement will be confirmed
by the induction record held within each Instructor’s personal file a copy of which
is at Appendix 32.
39.2.3 The administrative induction, normally scheduled to be completed in a half day,
comprises:
39.2.3.1 paperwork check of currency of licence, ratings and medical
39.2.3.2 introduction to other staff, location of facilities, health and safety and
security issues

39.2.3.4 reading of the following documents:
Operations Manual
CATOperationsManualV4.6 Page 60 of 166
Quality Manual
Operations Manual
Training Manuals
Standardisation Notes
Standardisation Meeting minutes
39.2.4 The induction (FNPT II and / or flying) is described in paragraphs 39.2.5 to
39.2.6. The quantities of training specified here are minima, and may be
increased at the discretion of the CFI according to the previous experience and
skill level of the new Instructor.
39.2.5 FNPT II Instructor Induction. A minimum of 7 working days is normally to be
allowed for FNPT II Instructor training, depending on the experience of the
instructor and whether an IR revalidation is also required. The training should
include:
39.2.5.1 the CTC TRI Core Course
39.2.5.2 an introduction to the hardware, software and health & safety issues in
the FNPT II environment
39.2.5.3 a general discussion of the strengths and weaknesses of FNPT II (versus
aeroplane) training
39.2.5.4 The Instructor will then be required to brief the CFI (who will role play a
Trainee) in at least two exercises. The exercise could include, for
example, a brief on how to fly an ILS and a brief on route flying
workload and management. It will be expected that the briefs will be
based on standardisation notes and any other relevant company
documents.
39.2.5.5 The Instructor will then be observed carrying out a flight of
approximately one hour, including departure, hold, ILS and non-
precision approach, plus EFATO drill and limited panel.
39.2.5.6 The flight is to include an Instructor demonstration of any exercise
which he has briefed. The CFI could carry out the check-list ground
items (to demonstrate SOP) and act as ATC during the airborne phase.
39.2.5.7 If the Instructor is within 3 months of an IR revalidation, this proficiency
check could be completed in the normal manner (in the FNPT II). This
would then be followed by the format for briefing, and a short FNPT II
demonstration of the briefed items only (flight of approximately 0.7
hours).
39.2.5.8 In all cases, a full debrief will be given and any weak areas will be
highlighted for further supervised or unsupervised practice.
39.2.5.9 If, at this stage, the Instructor’s standard is considered acceptable, he
may progress to instructing IR Trainees.
39.2.5.10 Training and standardisation then follows the Instructor periodic
standardisation arrangements.
39.2.5.11 If the Instructor’s standard is not acceptable, the CFI may carry out up to
one further day on induction training, before referring matters to the
Head of Training.
39.2.6 Flying Instructor Induction. A minimum of four days is normally to be allowed
for FI induction as follows:
39.2.6.1 A three day core skills course, delivered by CRMI trained instructors and
including:
Learner / trainer styles
Operations Manual
CATOperationsManualV4.6 Page 61 of 166
The decision making process
Commercial airline training philosophy
Facilitation
Managing poor performance
Vertical integration of training
On completion, the instructor will receive a course completion certificate and a
record of the course is held on file at Nursling.
39.2.6.2 A discussion of safety issues related to the particular aircraft type used
for the IR Course and to the airside environment in general
39.2.6.3 An assessment/standardisation flight will then take place to include as a
minimum: EFATO, asymmetric go around and asymmetric landing, but
to include all normal skill test/proficiency check items if the Instructor is
new to type. All emergency drills must be covered, at least as
discussion items. The CFI could carry out the check-list ground items
(to demonstrate SOP).
39.2.6.4 If the Instructor is within 3 months of a multi-engine piston class rating
revalidation, the flight would become a MEP revalidation.
39.2.6.5 For the IFR part of the standardisation and follow up action, paragraphs
39.2.5.4 to 39.2.5.5 (under FNPT II induction) should be completed in
their entirety, and carried out in the FNPT II. At the discretion of the CFI,
one or two of the IFR demonstration exercises (see FNPT II induction)
could be flown in the aeroplane itself, as an add on to the MEP
requirements defined above. This would become particularly applicable
if it was intended that the Instructor would only, or primarily, be
instructing in the aircraft itself.
39.2.6.6 If the Instructor’s standard is not acceptable, the CFI may carry out up to
one further day of induction training, before referring matters to the HT.
39.2.7 Follow up to Initial Induction. For his first instructional detail at CAT and for a
further instructional detail not more than one month later, the new Instructor is
to be observed by the CFI carrying out the brief, flight, and de-brief. The
Instructor is to be de-briefed on his performance and a record of the observation
is to be entered in the Instructor’s induction record

standardisation check. The maximum period between annual standardisation checks
should not exceed 14 months.
Periodic standardisation training will be made available to instructors. The content of
periodic standardisation training will be as required to prepare the instructor for the
annual standardisation check and will vary according to the needs of the individual
Instructor.
As a minimum, flight instructors should in addition to any rating renewal or revalidation
complete 2 hours consolidation training in the flight simulator and 4 hour flight training
consolidation. This may be scheduled as a mutual flight with another instructor.
Consolidation training must be logged in the Instructor Periodic Standardisation Training
Record.
As an alternative to dedicated flight training consolidation, any practice achieved during
rating renewal or revalidation may be counted towards flight training consolidation but
this must be logged in the Instructor Periodic Standardisation Record and in any case
must not exceed half of the time logged for the flight.
STI’s should have 2 hours in a flight simulator.
Consideration should be given to providing more than the minimum outlined above for
less experienced instructors.
44. Annual Standardisation Check
The annual standardisation check may be a dedicated flight check with the CFI or their
nominated deputy or may take the form of an observed lesson delivered by the instructor.
In this case the pre-flight brief as well as the post flight de-briefing should be observed.
The CFI should sign the record of training form shown at Appendix 34. This includes
those annual checks carried out by any nominated deputy. The instructor should then
sign as acknowledgement of the comments in the report and the report filed in the
instructor’s personal file.
45. Standards Meetings
The HT, or persons nominated by the HT, shall arrange standards meetings, to discuss
the conduct and administration of courses, no less frequently than once in each 4 month
period. An agenda should be circulated one week in advance, and minutes should be
published within one week of the meeting. The HT, or nominees, are responsible for
keeping a master copy of standardisation meeting agenda and minutes which shall be
made available to all Instructors. In addition, copies of the agenda and minutes are to be
distributed to the HT and all CFIs.

46. Nursling Theoretical Knowledge Instructor Induction and Refresher Training
46.1 Theoretical Knowledge Instructors – Training Qualification and Experience
Theoretical Knowledge Instructors (TKI’s) must have appropriate military or commercial
aviation training experience and be acceptable to the CAA.
46.2 Training and Retraining
The local training procedures detailed below are intended to standardise CTC’s method of
operation from Instructor selection, through in-house training/checking to the conduct of
day-to day training activities.
46.3 Training Staff Selection
Once a vacancy has been confirmed and selection approved the CTKI will vet all
applications and CV’s for suitability. Potential instructors will then be invited to attend an
interview with the HT, CTKI and a representative from Human Resources. The interview
process will include a 10 minute specimen lesson covering an ATPL Theoretical
Knowledge related subject.
On successful completion of this stage new training staff may be required to observe
other TKI’s, which will not only standardise and refresh their instructional skills, but may
also form part of the selection process.
46.4 Initial Induction Process
The initial induction process will be managed by the CTKI and will include a briefing on
the Company background and aims, the management structure and general
administration issues. The induction process should be completed within the defined
probationary period
46.5 Theoretical Knowledge Instructors
Prior to conducting ATPL Theoretical Knowledge courses the Instructor will:
a) Shadow a course;
b) Run a course under supervision; and
c) Be checked by the CTKI before being permitted to independently run the course.
Note: Should the instructor have suitable and relevant teaching experience the
supervised/checked stages may be combined. Initial training will be completed by the
CTKI or a nominated instructor.
A record of any relevant previous employment/experience should be recorded on
Appendix 35 - ATPL TKI Initial Training Requirement and Standardisation Check Record
and any initial training requirements listed. The completed form should form part of the
TKI’s personal file and the CTKI should date/sign the form on completion of the initial
training. A record of the subjects that the TKI is qualified to teach and the dates of any
standardisation checks should also be recorded on Appendix 36 – ATPL Subject
Qualification Record.
46.6 Training Requirement to Teach Additional Subjects
For operational reasons it may be necessary from time to time for TKI’s to teach
additional ATPL subjects. The CTKI should identify the training requirements on the ATPL
TKI Additional Subject and Remedial Training Form (Appendix 37) and date/sign the form
when the training is completed. The additional subject should also be recorded Appendix
36 – ATPL Subject Qualification Record.
Operations Manual
CATOperationsManualV4.6 Page 66 of 166
46.7 Standardisation Checks
Each TKI will be expected to complete a standardisation check following initial training in
each subject taught and this will be repeated at least once in any 12 month period. The
CTKI or nominated deputy will routinely carry out the checks to ensure that the
standardisation and quality of training is consistent throughout the Company. The HT or
nominated deputy should also routinely carry out a standardisation check of the CTKI.
The standardisation check will encompass the full training procedure and will be initially
recorded on the ATPL TKI Induction Training Standardisation Check Form (Appendix 38).
46.8 Management of Under Performance
If a TKI is deemed to be under performing the CTKI should interview the instructor to
ascertain if there are any underlying problems and agree a course of action. This should
be recorded on the ATPL TKI Additional Subject and Remedial Training Form (Appendix
37) and the HT informed. When the agreed actions have been carried out the CTKI should
carry out a further standardisation check and record it on the ATPL TKI Induction Training
Standardisation Check Form (Appendix 38).

Appendix 41 - Trainee Flight Authorisation - NZ
The Trainee Flight Authorisation ensures that all planning criteria is completed and checked by
the Sign-out Instructor.
The Next Event Information/Planner will be completed following a dual flight allowing the
primary instructor to give guidance for the next solo event.
Prior to departure the trainee is to present the form to the Sign-out Instructor who will verify the
flight planning. The trainee will then sign his acceptance of the aircraft in the Pilot in Command
section of the Trainee Flight Authorisation.
The form is then to be presented to the DFI at the commencement of the flight.
Guidance:
- The Next Event Information/Planner is to be issued for each solo syllabus event prior to
the next dual, completed as part of the de-brief process following a dual flight.
- More than one Next Event Information/Planner can be issued at a time.
- If the primary instructor is not available a secondary instructor may complete the Next
Event Information/Planner.
- Trainee tick boxes have been provided to streamline the process.
