6.11 Surveillance
1) The basic purpose of Surveillance is to maintain the safe flight track,
which is ensured by PF observing outside and PM monitoring flight
instruments.
2) All flight crewmembers should be very clear of the intentions of PF
and all used procedures by PF at any time and survey closely that the
operation of the airplane is in consistent with the operating procedures.
Whether it is manual or automatic flight, the key actions must be cross
checked so as to verify the accuracy of the operation. It includes: the
change of airplane configuration (landing gear, flaps, speed brake),
setting of heading, altitude (window), and assigned altitude which is
higher than minimum safety altitude, airspeed (bug) setting; handover
control; during takeoff or approach phases, change of auto flight
system/flight management system and radio navigation equipment;
weight/mass, balance calculation and other related autopilot AFS/FMS
input; performance calculation and input, includes: AFS/FMS input etc.
In case of any of the followings, any flight crew should remind “PF”
immediately:
Any flight crew member who notices the following conditions should
remind the PF immediately:
(1) The standard operating procedures are not performed.
(2) ATC clearances are not implemented.
(3) Deviations from the normal flight path.
3) During all approach processes, the PM is responsible for monitoring
the track accuracy, speed, ascent/descent rate indication, the altitude
for entering the runway and additional standard challenge of the
airplane. When the deviation goes beyond the regulations of the item
9.7, the PM must be alerted and report to PF immediately.
4) When visual references are established and AP is disengaged, the
available navigation facilities (especially the G/S and V/S indication)
may still be used to monitor the approach.
5) Cross-checks enable both pilots to maintain vigilance against any
deviation from the normal approach procedure and accidents due to
incapacitation of any pilot.
6) The following important systems require cross-check and verbal
confirmation from the other pilot when performing the abnormal and
emergency procedure: thrust levers, fuel master switch or control
switch, engine fire handle or switch, engine fire switch, IDG/CSD
disengage switch.

9 Flight Operations
9.1 General
The Operation Manual drawn up according to CCAR- 121 Part
and the applicable operation management regulations integrating the
practical situation of TJA, covers the policies, rules, directives and
procedures related to the flight, and confirms that <Aircraft Flight
Manual>,<QRH>, < MEL >,< SOP ><Flight Crew Training Manual>
etc. of each aircraft type (refer to Flight Standard System Diagram,
Chapter1) are supporting technical manuals of Operation Manual , all
are ranked as Company-class regulation. All relevant personnel must
implement strictly the content of SOP. The flight crew should fully
apply CRM technique during the whole flight operation. TJA shall
provide all pilots with CRM theoretical and skill training (for details,
refers to <CRM Training Program>).All pilots must sufficiently
understand the content of Operation Manual approved by TJA.
(1) Approaches approved by the state;
(2) Requirements for takeoff, approach and landing ceiling,
visibility;
(3) The margin of inoperative units on ground;
(4) Limitation of crosswind and the landing lights required.
2) TJA uses the procedures and checklists made and provided by
manufacturer, mainly including < Flight Operations Manual>,
<Aircraft Flight Manual>,, <QRH> and relevant flight technical
Bulletin. And the flollowings has been established to revise those
procedures and checklists. The revision flow has laid down a strict
checking and verifying procedure to prevent errors due to human
factors.
3) Route navigation facility(CCAR-121.101/121(a)、(b))
TJA only operate on the route approved by CAAC, these routes are
fitted for CAAC navigation facility’s requirements.
4) Low Visibility Operation is not available in TJA.
9.1.1 Minimum Flight Altitude
(CCAR-91.151/153/155/157/159)(CCAR-121.133(a)(8))
9.1.1.1 Minimum Altitude Definition
1) Minimum En-route IFR Altitude(MEA)
The lowest published altitude between radio fixes which assures
acceptable navigational signal coverage and meets obstacle clearance
requirements between those fixes.
2) Minimum Off-Route Altitude (MORA)
An altitude brought forward by Jeppesen. A route MORA provides
known obstacle clearance within 10 NM of the route
centreline.(Jeppesen Route Manual Guidance)

2) Pressure correction
(1) When flying at levels with the altimeter set to 1013hPa, the minimum
safe altitude must be corrected for deviations in pressure when the
pressure is lower than the standard atmosphere (1013hPa).
(2) An appropriate correction is 28 ft per hPa below 1013hPa, Altimeter
indication readouts subtract.
(3) The Table 3 gives more accurate data. The following correction is to
be applied to the indicated altitude (reference 1013 hPa) to determine the
geometrical aircraft altitude.
Table 3 - QNH correction
QNH of Correction QNH of nearest Correction

1013 - 0 ft
1050 + 1000 ft 1010 -80 ft
1045 + 860 ft 1005 - 220 ft

1020 + 180 ft 980 - 920 ft
1015 + 50 ft 975 - 1080 ft
1013 + 0 ft
Example: Given: Indicated altitude = 20000 ft, ISA, local QNH = 995
hPa
Find: Geometrical (true) altitude = 20000 - 510 = 19490 ft.
When using the QNH or QFE altimeter setting (giving altitude or height
above QFE datum respectively), a pressure correction is not required.
9.1.2 METHODS FOR THE DETERMINATION OF
AERODROME OPERATING MINIMA
(CCAR-121.563 /665/667/669/671/133(c)))
9.1.2.1 Concept
1) Operation Minimum Concept
The term minima refers to the aerodrome weather conditions and defines
the minimum visibility (horizontal and vertical) prescribed for taking off
from, or landing a civil aircraft to this particular aerodrome. During
actual operation, using the value whichever is higher:
Different concepts of minima:
(1) Aircraft performance
Aircraft performance given in the Aircraft Flight Manual defines the
lowest minima for which the aircraft has been certified.
(2) Aerodrome operating minima
aircraft can meet safe obstacle clearance. So the different lower takeoff
minima listed below determined according to elements of visual aids
available, pilot view field, engine numbers and so on for the runway
used by multi-engine aircraft must presented in RVR/VIS values and no
less than the values in the Table 2 below:
Table2- Multi-engine turbine aircraft minima
RVR/VIS(m) (1)
Visual Aids Available
A、B、C D
Rwy edge lights +Centerline lights, with 3 RVR
reports 150 200
Rwy edge lights +Centerline lights (no RVR 200 250
report)
Rwy edge lights +Centerline markings(no RVR
report)(2) 250 300
Centerline markings, no lights (only for daytime) 500 500
The takeoff minimum visibility required is relative to field of vision of
the pilot looking forward or down (observation in the cockpit) and the
height of the eyes level.
Note: The RVR values of takeoff minimum are reported and controlled
from the following different positions for each type of aircraft:
For CAT.A aircraft, touchdown RVR,
For CAT.B, C aircraft, RVRs from touchdown zone and mid-point,
For CAT.D aircraft, RVRs from touchdown zone, mid-point and runway

Notes:
① The Tables are only applicable to conventional approaches with a
slope not exceeding 4°. Steeper approach angles will normally
require that the visual approach slope guidance (e.g. PAPI) is
visible from the MDH.
② The RVR values in the above tables are either reported RVR, or
met visibility converted to RVR as in table 5 below.
③ Visibility shall be used if RVR is above 1500m.
5) Visual Maneuvers
(1) Visual Approach
The flight crew must consistently keep visual contact as required
to locate the aircraft position relatively to the airport. The aircraft
must completely stabilize at approach speed or final landing
configuration before descending to 500ft above the airport
elevation. No captain can conduct visual approaches, unless the
pilot-in-command has satisfactorily completed an approved training
program for visual approaches. In addition, the certificate holder
shall not conduct a visual approach unless the approach is
conducted to an airport with an approved instrument approach
procedure for that airport, and all of the following conditions are
met:
a) The flight remains under instrument flight rules and is authorized
by ATC to conduct a contact approach.
b) The reported visibility/RVR for the runway of intended landing
is at or above the authorized IFR minimum for the Category I
nonprecision approach established for that runway or 1600m(1
statue mile) (RVR 1500m (5000 feet)), whichever is higher.
c) The flight is operating clear of clouds and can remain clear of
clouds throughout the contact approach. The flight visibility
must be sufficient for the pilot to see and avoid all obstacles and
safely maneuver the aircraft to the landing runway using external
visual references.
d) The flight does not descend below the MEA/MSA, MVA, or the
FAF altitude, as appropriate, until:
① The flight is established on the instrument approach procedure,
operating below the reported ceiling, and the pilot has identified
sufficient prominent landmarks to safely navigate the aircraft to
the airport, or
② The flight is conducted below the cloud ceiling, and the airport
is in sight, and the pilot can maintain visual contact with the
airport throughout the maneuver.
③ The flight does not descend below the highest circling MDA
prescribed for the runway of intended landing until the aircraft
is in a position from which a descent to touchdown, within the
touchdown zone, can be made at a normal rate of descent
using normal maneuvers.
(2) Circling Approach
Circling approach refers to visual flight phase after aircraft finish
instrument approach, pilot should consistently see the runway
threshold or approach lights or other markings identifying runway,
lights to ensure safe obstacle clearance, and the obstacles within 2km of
approach area are equipped with obstacle lights, otherwise has
Visual Approach Slope Indication System (VASIS) or Precision
Approach Path Indicator (PAPI). Visual circling approach minima is
the same as the minima in daytime, but no less than the minima of
straight-in approach at nighttime;
(3) Cat. I precision approach must use Category I precision
approach lighting system stipulated by Annex14 of ICAO
Convention, whereby runway edge lights, runway threshold lights, ru
nway end lights and runway markings are all available, unless the
runway is equipped with Visual Approach Slope Indication system
(VASI)or Precision Approach Path Indication system(PAPI),
otherwise the obstacles in the approach area within 2000m from the
runway threshold shall be installed with obstacle lights.
7) Effect of failed or degraded ground navaids
These instructions are intended for pre-flight and pre-approach. It is
not expected however that the captain would consult such
instructions after passing the outer marker or equivalent position. If
ground aids failure is announced on final approach, the approach
could be continued at the captain's discretion. If, however, failures
are announced before final, their effect on the approach should be
considered as described in table 9, and the approach may have to be
stopped to allow review.
Conditions applicable to the table 9:
(1) Multiple failures of runway lights other than indicated in table 9 are
not acceptable.
(2) Deficiencies of approach and runway lights are treated separately.
(3) Category II or III operations - A combination of deficiencies in
runway lights and RVR assessment equipment is not allowed.
(4) Failures other than ILS affect RVR only and not DH.
(5)"No DH" operations - An operator should ensure that, for aircraft
authorised to conduct "no DH" operations with the lowest RVR
limitations, the following applies in addition to the content of the
table 9.
(6) RVR: At least one RVR value must be available at the airport
(7) Runway lights:
a) No runway edge lights, or no centre lights - Day only min RVR
200 m
b) No TDZ lights - No restrictions
c) No standby power to runway lights - day only RVR 200 m

8) Requirements on onboard equipments during approach
( 1 ) For RVR550 operation, an equivalent of CAT II operation
equipments (except for low altitude radio altimeter and
autothrottle )and CAT I airworthiness must be ensured;
(2)When the following conditions occur, missed approach procedure
must be performed:
a) The operation minimum of the kind of instrument approach
being performed can not be fulfilled due to any onboard
equipment failure;
b) A failure occurs on any minimum equipment required by the
authority that will affect approach;
c ) During instrument approach, before MDA/DH, stalbilized
approach is no longer possible due to two primary
navigation/indication instruments disagree/unreliable;
d) After approach is initiated, it is impossible to continue approach
and landing due to onboard equipment failure.
plus the time flying from the first (ETPl) to the alternate aerodrome;

requirements of CCAR121.643.
b) Alternate airport for destination: Supplemental operations.
① Each person releasing an aircraft for operation under IFR shall
list at least one alternate airport for each destination airport in the
flight release.
② For the purposes of paragraph a) of this section, the weather
requirements at the alternate airport must meet the requirements
of the certificate holder's operations specifications.
③ No person may release a flight unless he lists each required
alternate airport in the flight release.
3) Weather condition for selected alternate airport(CCAR-121.643/651)
For alternates listed on the dispatch or release, a weather report or
define some airports as special airports, require the captain possesses the
special airport qualification, and bring forward special type navigation

(CCAR-121.133(a(14)/657(a), (b)/661(a)/663(a),(b))
9.1.3.1 Fuel Policy
1) General
(1) In order to ensure the flight safety and reduce the fuel cost, TJA stipulates
the fuel and oil policy. When dispatch release the aircraft, the flight
dispatcher and PIC should jointly determine the actual fuel of the flight in
accordance with TJA fuel & oil policy, and consider the complex situation
of weather, air traffic flow, departure airport, destination airport, alternate
airport and the aircraft conditions etc.
(2) The fuel items described in this policy are the necessary items of the flight
approved by TJA. When there is a discrepancy between the flight
dispatcher and the PIC on departure fuel quality, the PIC retains the
authority to make final decisions, but is not allowed to reduce the items
stipulated in this policy. The flight crew is required to check and record
OFP, fuel status and time passing the waypoint.
(3) Although possible conditions has been considered in the policy making
process, however one of the most fundamental rule is that the residual fuel
of a aircraft at the completion of landing rollout shall not less than the
minimum fuel.
2) Definition
(1) Domestic Operation
Refers to the operation between two places in the territory of P.R.China
or between one domestic place and a place in the foreign country
specially regarded as domestic place by the Administrator.

minutes flight at holding speed at 1500 ft AGL at alternatie airport in
standard temperature conditions.
International operation: Refers to the fuel consumption for 30 minutes
flight at holding speed at 1500 ft AGL at alternate airport or destination
airport(if no alternate airport is required) in standard temperature
conditions.
(7) Emergency reserve fuel(International operation): For aircraft with
turbo propeller engines(no turbo propeller engines in TJA): 10% of total

A320 :300KG/661LB(include)below
c) if captain has any doubt about fuel quantity and add more fuel
than item b), he should inform on duty dispatcher through company’s
communication (but not limit to this method), until on duty dispatcher
and captain has agreement about load sheet, then on duty dispatcher
reissue the dispatch and inform load unit, and load unit reproduce the
load sheet to flight crew. The fuel finally determined by the captain and
flight dispatcher after discussing the actual operation conditions, but
they should consider:
(a)Wind and other weather condition forecast;
(b)Expected air traffic delay;
(c)Carry out an instrument approach and possible go-around at
destination airport;

destination, the stipulated fuel flow indication system error should
be considered.
(14) Emergency Fuel: at a certain point, when the captain defines that
the aircraft requires a direct to the destination for an immediate
landing due to low fuel quantity and announce Emergency Fuel. It
is an emergency which clearly requests a priority from ATC.
Usually, the flight crew announces Minimum Fuel first and then in

9.1.4.4 Weight and Balance Control (CCAR-121.133(a)(16)) (b)(6))
1) Control Principles
The following principles should be obeyed in order to take control of the
weight and balance and ensure that the load of the aircraft will not
exceed the maximum take-off weight and the maximum landing weight,
maintaining the center of gravity within the limits.
(1) Adopt the real weight or the approved standard(average) weight
of passengers and aircrew members;
(2) Adopt the real weight or the approved standard (average) weight
of baggage;
(3) Figure out the weight and balance based upon the real weight of
passengers and baggage during the charter flight or other special
services;
(4) The weight of every aircraft must be determined based upon the
weight marked in the weight and balance control program or the weight
determined by the aircraft weighing procedure stated in the
Maintenance Engineering Manual of TJA;
(5) The approved weight and balance control system should
comply with the airworthiness requirements and the operation limit;
(6) TJA will often review the business range and standards for the
weight and balance according to ―Weight and balance control,Chapter
4, Flight Dispatch Manual” approved by the CAAC.
2) Weighing of the aircraft
The aircrafts belonged to the TJA should be weighed periodically in
order to take control of the weight and balance.
(1) The work will be done in line with the procedures stipulated in the
Aircraft Maintenance Scenario, the Maintenance Management Manual
and the Engineering Manual;
(2) The Maintenance Engineering Department should submit the
weighing report in written form to the related units.
3) Determination of Passengers and Cargo Weight
(1) The calculation for the weight and balance table will adopt the
cargoes.
15) Load Notification
(1) The load notification is a main part of the documents aboard,
including the cargo and mail manifest, the air freight note, the airmail
waybill, passenger list or name list and weight and balance chart.
a) The cargo and mail manifest will list every onboard cargo
and mail;
b) The passenger list includes the name of every adult, child or
baby aboard
Note: only saved in the computer at present
(2) The Ground Commercial Transport Unit will deal with the
load notification formalities with the flight crew;
a) Both sides will verify the loading information contained in
the load capacity table and put sign on it.
b) Also verify the take-off, zero fuel and landing weight and
the center of gravity marked on the weight and balance chart and sign on
it.
(3) Load and Balance sheet:
a) One for flight crew;
b) One forwarded to the arrival by flight crew;
c) One kept in file in case of further checkup.
(4) The cargo and mail manifest and the passenger list:
a) One forwarded to the arrival by flight crew;
b) One kept in file in case of further checkup.
c) Besides, both of them will be submitted to the Finance
Department of TJA for checkup
Note: only saved in the computer at present.
(5) The weight and balance information will be acquired by
telex to complete the load notification which will be given to the flight
crew while checking in. The weight information should be sent out
based upon the content of the notification.
(6) If the load notification can not be acquired, the information
may be copied in a proper way. But the information must be identical
with the original ones without any error.
9.1.4.5 Adjustment of Non-standard flight crew, on-board
provisions and catering weigh and index
1) TJA standard flight crew, on-board provisions and catering supply
D328 EMB145 E190 A320
Standard Flight 3/1 3/2 3/3 3/4
Crew
Standard Catering 75KG 200KG 310KG 405KG
Note: 3/1 means 3 flight crew members in the cockpit and 1 cabin
flight attendants
2) Principle of adjustment
(1) For normal scheduled flight operation, there’s no need for
all loading units to exercise adjustment of non-standard flight crew,
catering weight and index; If non-standard flight crew occurs (different
from the support above), the captain-in-command should inform TJA
loading agent unit to adjust when flight arrives; In the case of no contact
or other more important support, could ask the load distributor to make
temporary adjustment when he submitting the weight and balance sheet.
The adjustment method is based on the latest valid Technical Bulletin
provided by the Technical Performance Office;
(2) For the overloading due to temporary adjustment, the captain can
ask the person joining the flight crew or non-relevant person to
disembark. The operation method refers to the article2, 3.12.9 of this
Manual;
(3) For non-scheduled flight operation, such as training flight, test
flight, ferry flight and so on, flight crew resources management center,
flight attendant dispatch center, cabin support should at least 2 hours in
advance inform operation control centre the exact passenger number,
whether load on-board provisions, catering etc.. And then operation
control centre will inform relative load distribution unit of the airport to
adjust.
9.1.5 ATC Flight Plan (CCAR-121.133(a)(18))
9.1.5.1 ATC Flight Plan
Flights are normally operated on an instrument flight rules plan. Certain
short flights (ferry, non-revenue) may be dispatched under visual flight
rules. For safety reasons, the ATC must be informed of the expected
operation before each flight, and an ATC flight plan must to be filed for
each flight (IFR and VFR), and special procedures or manoeuvrability
limitation must be indicated.
9.1.5.2 Filling and filing ATC flight plan

TJA;
8) Do not carry out refueling or defuelling without the presence of flight
crew.
9.2.7 Items to be noticed during refueling or defueling
1) The auxiliary power unit can only start up before the fuel tanker
arriving. If it stops in the course of refueling, re-start up after the fuel
tanker leaves.
2) Avoid refueling in the rear of the aircraft. If it has to, the fuel tanker
must keep away from the vent of APU. If the fuel overflows, APU
should stop operating immediately until the fuel is cleaned. It can only
re-start up when there is no risk of catching fire.
3) The wing top refueling can not be carried out if the exhaust direction
points to the wing top.
4) The ground power unit should be at least 6m away from the vent of
the fuel tanker and the fuel tanker. The startup of the unit and electrical
connection with the aircraft should be performed before refueling
5) In the process of refueling, do not remove or install the connection
wire or operate the switches of other electric appliances. If the fuel
overflows, the device should shut down immediately until the fuel is
cleaned. It can only re-start up when there is no risk of catching fire.
6) Refueling can be conducted when the air conditioning is operating.
However, it must be shut down once the fuel overflows.
9.2.8 Normal Refueling Procedure
The captain should guarantee that the agent for refueling service has
signed on the four-couplet sheet after refueling every time, and take one
couplet and submit it to the Operation control centre together with the
flight task manifest after flight.
Note: When it needs no refueling at the departure station, the flight crew
checks the fuel amount by means of the fuel gauge at the cockpit. No
refueling sheet is needed.
1) Preparation Work Before Refueling:
(1) The flight crew should refuel the aircraft as the fuel amount on the
dispatch release sheet without adding too much more fuel or
insufficient fuel. The flight crew should tell the refueling service
agent the planned flight dispatch fuel quantity (including the total
quantity). If the actual departure fuel amount is over 500 pounds
(270 kg) than the planned departure fuel amount. At the operation
base, the flight crew should notice the Operation control centre who
will amend the dispatch release sheet and notify the
Weight&Balance Office to revise the weight and balance sheet. At
the non-TJA operation base, the flight crew should manage to notify
the Weight&Balance Office to prevent over weight;
(2) The refueling person should open the access door, correctly conduct
refueling procedure as the expected refueling mode and refueling
amount and set ―refueling/defuelling‖ control panel switch and so on.
2) Refueling Process
(1) While refueling, only connect the electrical circuit concerned with
refueling. Do not switch on or disconnect the switch, electric circuit
or electric appliances (except for the lighting equipment at night),
especially the radar and the high-frequency broadcasting station,
which should stop operation while refueling to prevent explosion;
(2) In the course of pressure refueling, the refueling staff should connect
the earth wire at first, and then open the cover of the fuel tank and
connect the refueling pipe (or fuel gun); the refueling staff should
pay high attention to the refueling interface and each fuel tank, and
check whether the ―refueling/defuelling‖ control panel displays
normally. If there is any abnormal phenomenon or the fuel
overflows, stop refueling;
(3) While refueling, do not put the high work stand, apparatus and
equipment on the ground under the aircraft wing to prevent the
wingtip going down and damaging the aircraft. If the fuel leaks from
the vent, it will also damage the aircraft.
3) Works after Refueling
(1) The service agents should record the following information on
aircraft refueling sheet:
a) Fuel quantity (or defuelling quantity);
b) Actual density of the fuel;
c) Fuel type and grade;
d) Refueling date, flight number, and aircraft SN;
e) Signature of the service agents.
(2) After refueling, fill out ―aircraft refueling sheet‖ according to the
actual fuel volume. The content must be complete and the letters should
be clear, no revision is permitted. The fuel volume is in liter as the
measuring unit. Except for Arab numerals, use Chinese. After finishing
the sheet the captain signs on it.
(3) The refueling staff should set up the ―refueling/defuelling‖ control
panel switch according to the procedure. After refueling, the service
staff should withdraw the fuel pipe (or fuel gun) and cover the fuel tank
first, and then take away the earth wire. The flight crew should confirm
that the fuel filler and the refueling cover are closed and all the refueling
equipment has been removed;
(4) Reasonableness Check
a) After refueling, the flight crew should carry out reasonableness
check, record the total fuel amount on Flight Task Manifest and
compare it with the record of the last time fuel left plus total fuel
quantity on the refueling sheet.
b) If any problem is found, find out the reason and correct it at once.
If the flight crew cannot find out the reason, as long as the actual
fuel amount of the aircraft is verified to be correct, the aircraft can
take off. However, the verification method should be recorded on
Aircraft Technical Logbook.
(5) Something to be noticed:
a) TJA’s aircraft are not allowed to fuel when the engine is still
working;
b) Do not fuel when there is thunderstorm. If there is rain, snow or
sandstorm and no covering measures can be taken, do not fuel at
the upper wing or the fuel filler.
9.2.9 Refueling Procedure when Fuel Quantity Indicator Fails
When one fuel tank indicator fails and aircraft need refueling, first
confirm if the aircraft could conduct refueling according to MEL of its
type. If it does and meets the refueling requirements, the flight crew
should, with the cooperation of maintenance people, strictly comply
with the flight manual and the refueling procedure with the failure of
fuel quantity indicator:
1) When the fuel indicator is ineffective, apply one of the refueling
methods:
(1) Empty the fuel tank at first, and then fill the fuel with known
quantity computed;
(2) Use fuel stick to read the residual fuel amount, calculate the fuel
amount to be fueled;
(3) Relevant aircraft type should apply the refueling procedure for it
on Aircraft Flight Manual.
Note:Qualified personnel who have taken part in the refueling training
of the TJA must strictly implement the refueling procedure. The refueling
staff must sign on the refueling sheet for ineffective fuel indicator. The
captain should check it and make a record of it on Aircraft Technical
Logbook.
2) The refueling steps for the affected fuel tank whose fuel indicator is
inoperative:
(1) Check the residual fuel amount in the fuel tank and make a
record of it;
(2) Deduct the residual fuel amount by planned departure fuel
amount, calculate the fuel amount to be fueled and make a record of it;
(3) After refueling, verify the fuel amount in the fuel tank (using fuel
gauge or other methods), compare the total fuel amount in the fuel tank,
the original fuel storage level and the fuel amount to be fueled;
(4) Make a record of the original fuel storage level and the fuel
amount to be fueled on Aircraft Technical Logbook.
(5) Note:
a) When the fuel indicator is ineffective in the course of
refueling, stop refueling operation at once. Otherwise, strictly comply
with ―refueling procedure for ineffective fuel indicator‖;
b) The refueling operation should strictly comply with Aircraft
Flight Manual its type.
9.2.10 Ground Defuelling
1) Flight Crew’s Decision (required by the flight)
If it fuels too much and it is overweight, or there is specially arranged
scheduled flight, ground defuelling is necessary. The refueling operation
should strictly comply with Aircraft Flight Manual for different types of
aircrafts. Try not to do this to prevent flight delay. Before defuelling,
notify the aviation fuel Company to prepare for a defuelling van. While
defuelling, the flight crew decides the fuel amount to be fueled and
accomplish the preparatory work at the cockpit. The captain should
appoint one person to monitor the defuelling process on the ground.
With the permission of the flight crew, the work staff can start
defuelling. After it, the captain should verify the refueled fuel amount,
sign on the fuel form and indicate it is defuelling rather than refueling.
2) Maintenance People Decision (Required by the maintenance work)
When the maintenance personnel prepare for defuelling, they should
notify the aviation fuel Company to send a defuelling van. The
maintenance personnel who have maintenance license decide the fuel
amount to be defueled and accomplish the operating preparatory work at
the cockpit. One maintenance personnel must monitor the defuelling
process on the ground. With the permission of the flight crew, the work
staff can start defuelling. After it, the captain should verify the defueled
fuel amount, sign on the fuel form and indicate it is defuelling, not
refueling.
9.2.11 Refueling with Passengers Onboard Boarding or Disembarking
(CCAR-121.133(a)(10))
1) Take preventive measures while refueling. The flight crew and the
aircraft crew should ensure that the passengers could be timely dispersed
whenever it catches fire (rarely happens). Keep the main passenger door
open and internal and external passages clean. Passenger steps or jetway
Intentionally blank
(1)The depth of snow or slush along the full length of the required shortes
t runway shall not exceed the maximum value specified for the type o
f aircraft in question. The general guiding principle: The width of run
way cleared of contamination is 40 m. When the runway cannot be cle
ared of contamination within a suitable time to reach a width of 40 m,
refer to respective aircraft manual.
(2)The snow at both sides of runway length and width shall be removed
to ensure sufficient ground clearance when the outer wheels of differ
ent types of aircraft touch down on the runway edges and when flaps
are extended at the same time;
(3) The usable part of runway shall be clearly identified;
(4)The runway centerlines shall be marked out clearly if necessary.
The use of thrust reversers is mandatory on contaminated runways.
The two most important variables confronting the pilot when runway
coefficient of friction is low and/or conditions for hydroplaning exist are
length of runway and crosswind magnitude.
The total friction force of the tires is available for two functions -
braking and cornering. If there is a crosswind, some friction force
(cornering) is necessary to keep the aircraft on the centreline. Tyre
cornering capability is reduced during braking or when wheels are not
fully spun up. Locked wheels eliminate cornering. Therefore in
crosswind conditions, a longer distance will be required to stop the
aircraft.

9.3.3 Ground de-/anti-icing(CCAR-121.133(a(17))
9.3.3.1 Glossary /Definitions
1) Deicing: Deicing is a procedure by which frost, ice, slush or snow is
removed from an aircraft to render it free of contamination.
2) Anti-icing:
A precautionary procedure that provides protection against the
formation of frost and/or ice and the accumulation of slush and/or snow
on surfaces of an aircraft for a limited period of time.
3) Frost
The deposit composed of ice formed directly from water vapor at a
temperature below 0oC.
4) Rime Fog
It is a kind of super cooled drip, the crystal deposit forming on the
object in the cold weather.
5) Snow
It falls in the form of the small ice crystals and can deposit on the
surface of the aircraft.
6) Frezzing rain
Supercooled droplets of liquid precipitation falling on a surface resulting
in a thick coating of ice.
7) Holdover Time
Holdover time is the estimated time that an application of anti-icing
fluid is effective in preventing frost, ice, slush or snow from adhering to
treated surfaces. Holdover time is calculated as the beginning with the
final application of the anti-icing fluid, and as expiring when the fluid is
no longer effective.
8) Icing Meteorology Condition
The condition when the ambient temperature is below or equal to 10℃
on ground,and there is visual moisture in the air ( such as cloud,or the
mist ,rain ,snow, freezing rain, icy crystal of which the visibility is equal
to or less than 1.65 kilometers) or standing water, slush, ice or snow on
the runway.
Snow which can be blown if loose or, if compacted by hand, will fall
apart upon release. The density is about 0.2 kg/litre (1.7 pd/U.S.gal.).
19) Compacted snow:
Snow which has been compressed into a solid mass (typical friction
coefficient is 0.2).
20) Icy runway:
A runway is considered icy when its friction coefficient is 0.05 or below.
9.3.3.2 Duties
1)The management of De-/anti-icing, implementation organization of
TJA includes the following departments:
(1) Maintenance and Engineering Dept.;
(2) Flight Department;
(3) Operation Control Dept..
2)The duties of Flight Department are as follows:
(1) In charge of pilot de-/anti-icing procedure training,check and
qualification approval(authorized);
(2) In charge of setting up De-/anti-icing Program(flight part).
(3) Conducts the operation part of the manual;
(4) In charge of after de-/anti-icing check to ensure there is no ice, snow
and frost on the critical surface and fuselage surface.
3) The duties of flight crew members when conducting de-/anti-icing are
as follows: (―De-/anti-icing Policy” General Operation Manual)
(1) Any time when icing conditions exists or may exist, the captain
has the right to bring forward detailed requirements for aircraft
de-/anti-icing when he considers necessary;
(2)The captain and the dispatcher decide jointly whether release the
aircraft and determine whether the meteorological conditions at that
time cause
(3)The captain or assigned flight crew member completes the after
de-/anti-icing check, contamination check before takeoff to ensure that
there is no ice, snow, frost existing on the critical control surfaces and
typical fuselage surface;
(4)Closely cooperates with the ground de-/anti-icing staff, establishes
necessary communication procedure, no language obstacle, English
should be used when non-native language is the communication
language, fully understand the intention, content and items to be noticed
of ground staff not to disturb de-/anti-icing work due to
misunderstanding between each other;
(5)Report to the dispatcher and ATC so as to make them know the
status of de-/anti-icing work, if necessary;
(6) Use different mixture ratio, different quantity de-/anti-icing fluid
depending on different de-/anti-icing in diverse weather condition.
(7)Flight crew has the right to repeat or do de-/anti-icing once more;
(8)Has the right to rectify any actions against de-/anti-icing procedure;
aircraft surfaces;
e) OAT is about below -8°C, the difference between temperature and
dew point is more than 5°C, dry snow has dropped on the aircraft
surfaces;
(2) Ground conditions of aircraft ground de-/anti-icing implementation
Ice accumulation may come from the ground operation influences or
ground conditions. When weather conditions do not have the
temperature conditions of icing and snowing, but the icing ground may
cause ice, snow to adhere to the aircraft fuselage surface. such as:
a) Operations on apron, taxiway or runway covered with moisture,
snow water or snow;
b) The blowing snow caused by surface wind or other aircraft and the
snow blown and swept by ground assistant anti-icing equipment
continually.
(3) he conditions to cause frosting on aircraft fuselage surface
When the temperature is at freezing point or below, and relative
humidity is very high, there will be frost formed on aircraft fuselage
surface. When an aircraft stays overnight at an airport or descends from
the cruise altitude to land, frost accumulation is normal since fuselage
surface and fuel temperature remains below freezing point. TJA aircraft
are allowed to operate when the depth of frost on the lower wing is up to
3mm (including 3mm) duo to cold fuel.
(4) Conditions for applying aircraft anti-ice system to carry out
anti-icing with engines running
It is indicated that icing conditions exist when TAT is 10°C(50F)or
below and there are following conditions, anti-icing should be carried
out:
a) There is visual moisture in the air in any form( such as cloud, mist
with a visibility less than 1 nautical mile, rain ,snow, sleet, ice crystals) ;
b) Standing water, slush, ice or snow on the apron, taxiway, and runway;
(5) Description of icing intensity:
a) Trace- Ice becomes perceptible. Rate of accumulation is slightly
greater than the rate of sublimation. It will not be dangerous to aircraft
even if the deicing/anti-icing equipment is not utilized unless
maintaining in icing area for an extended period of time (over 1 hour).
b) Light- The rate of accumulation may create a problem if flight is
prolonged in this environment (over 1 hour). Occasional use of
deicing/anti-icing equipment removes/prevents accumulation. It does
not present a problem if the deicing/anti-icing equipment is used.
c) Moderate- The rate of accumulation is such that even short
encounters become potentially hazardous and use of deicing/anti-icing
equipment or alternation of flight route is necessary.
(1) External inspection before takeoff is the first step for the flight crew
to decide whether a protection for ice, snow, frost is needed. The
inspection must comprise:
a) Leading/trailing edge and upper/lower surfaces of wings;
b) Control Surfaces;
c) Engine air inlets;
d) Antenna;
e) Fuselage (including radome);
f) AOA sensors, pitot tube and static ports;
g) Fuel tank vents;
h) Air conditioning system and APU inlet;
i) Landing gears (including: struts, support bar, landing gear
doors, wheels and hubs);
j) Water drain and on-board water supply equipment are not
frozen;
(2) The lower part of forward fuselage should be touched to ensure
there’s no clear ice during the inspection;
(3) For the treatment of frost formed on the fuel tank area of lower
surface of the wing duo to low fuel temperature, the flight crew carry
out according to the related criteria in ―Supplementary
procedure/Adverse weather‖ of the FCOM.
3) Cockpit preparation before de-ice
(1) De-/anti-ice information notification
After aircraft external inspection mentioned above, the flight crew
should inform the departments and personnel related to de-/anti-icing
(such as Maintenance and Engineering Dept., dispatch department,
traffic control department or de-/anti-icing principal,mechanics, flight
attendants and other relevant persons.) of the decision of carrying out
ground de-/anti-icing, and make de-/anti-icing preparation in
cooperation with mechanics.
(2) Cockpit preparation
a) Maintain air-ground communication and obtain de-icing clearance;
b) Establish communication with ground mechanics or de-icing
signaler;
c) Parking brake is on;
d) APU or GPU on, APU bleed OFF;
e) Verify engines shutdown or at idle thrust (de-icing with idle thrust)
f) Both air conditioning PACKS OFF
g) Close all windows, passenger doors and emergency exists to avoid
contaminating galley floor and interior furniture; If the ice or snow
on the passenger door affects the closing of the door, ice or snow
must be disposed before closing the door (to avoid contaminating
surface.
(4) Before taxing to takeoff position the captain shall verify that the
aircraft remains in effective holdover time and meet the
de-/anti-icing standards.
4) Considerations for takeoff in icing conditions
Severe retardation may occur in slush or wet snow.
In most cases, lack of acceleration will be evident early on the take
off run. Maximum permissible power must be used from the start.
Large quantities of snow or slush, usually containing sand or other
anti-skid substances may be thrown into the engines, static ports and
onto the airframe. Pod and engine clearance must be watched when
the runway is cleared and snow is banked at the sides of runways or
taxiway.
(1)Check N1 number under icing condition to ensure the aircraft
reach necessary takeoff thrust;
(2)Push control lever forward a little to increase the efficient force
of nose gear, use aileron to increase control to direction;
(3)Adopt pointing takeoff under moderate or severe icing
conditions.
(4) For D328: takeoff is forbidden when the runway covered
with standing water, slush or wet snow
of more than 7 mm (inclusive) in depth, loose snow more than 28mm
(1.1 inch); crosswind limitation of takeoff and landing on contaminated
runway is 8 knots.
E145: Maximum standing water, snow and wet slush on departure
runway: 8mm; slush: 9.4mm; wet snow:16mm ; dry snow: 40mm ; loose
dry snow: 64mm.
E190: Takeoff is prohibited with 13 mm or more of standing
water, wet snow or slush, or 60 mm or more of loose snow on
the runway.
A320: Takeoff is prohibited with more than 12.7 mm of
standing water or slush, or more than 50.8 mm of dry snow on
the runway.
5) In-flight icing conditions handling
The flight crew shall take the following measures timely when icing
in-flight:
(1) Use de-ice/anti-ice devices correctly and timely, properly increase
cruise power, moderate or severe icing shall be reported to ATC; if
flight speed continue to decrease after using de-ice/anti-ice devices,
request for changing flight level promptly. If there are still icing or the
flight cannot maintain minimum safety speed after changing flight level,
the captain shall land at the nearest airport or return to the departure
airport, and shall report the measures taken to ATC and dispatcher of the
TJA’s Operation control center.
(2) Aircraft without de-ice/anti-ice devices or with malfunctioned
de-ice/ anti-ice devices is forbidden to fly in icing areas.
(3) Change flight altitude to break away from icing areas.
(4) Check wing surfaces and control systems’ ice accumulation
conditions of the icing aircraft before landing. Landing is permitted only
when the icing condition does not affect flight safety.
(5) The icing aircraft shall fly at the speed regulated in manual when
landing and touchdown. If ice on windshield cannot be eliminated, open
side window to land.
6) Holding and approach
(1) Apply anti-ice system as necessary;
(2) Increase approach speed properly considering the icing condition
during approach.
7) Landing
Pilots should be aware that where rain, hail, sleet or snow showers are
encountered on the approach or have been reported as having recently
crossed the airfield, there is a high probability of the runway being
contaminated. The runway state should be checked with ATC before
commencing or continuing the approach. Very often a short delay is
sufficient to allow the runway to drain or the contaminant to melt.
Use of reverse thrust on landing on dry snow in very low temperatures
will blow the dry snow forward especially at low speed. The increase in
temperature may melt this snow and form clear ice on re-freezing on
static ports.
The required landing field length for dry runways is defined as 1.67 times
the demonstrated dry landing distance. For wet runways, this landing
distance requirement is increased by 15%.
The required landing field length for contaminated runways is defined as
1.15 times the demonstrated contaminated landing distance.
(1) Considering the influence of the crosswind limitation and braking
action on the slippery runway, except in the emergency situation that
must land, otherwise landing on the slippery runway covered with
snow is not proper when the reported braking action is poor;
(2) Landing in the conditions of strong cross wind and blowing snow
may cause vision blurred which results in seeing ground not clearly
during flaring. In those cases, may request turn on runway lights as
landing reference.
(3) During landing, be aware of the above factors affecting roll distance,
find relevant checklist and performance charts to do calculation
during approach preparation;

―observing and avoidance‖, and continually contact ATC when
necessary and proper.
(6) All TCAS avoidance measures adopted should be reported to ATC.
or fly to the destination alternate and take the best solution to ensure
the fuel remaining on board is not less than the minimum fuel after
landing.
3) Flight with no specific alternate airport
A decision waypoint enroute for diversion shall be decided before takeoff.
Before reaching the decision waypoint, captain shall assess the fuel
remaining, weather condition, traffic and operation condition at
destination and decide continue to the destination airport or divert to an
alternate on route. Before reaching the last decision waypoint for
diversion, continuing with destination airport is not allowed unless ensure
the fuel remaining at the destination airport is not less than the required
fuel remaining for this type of aircraft, or two individually operated
runways are available at the destination and the weather condition at the
destination meet the minimum requirements.
9.9.4 Requirement for Minimum Fuel Remaining
The planned fuel at destination airport is not less than the required
diversion fuel +fixed reserved fuel.
If fuel is checked in flight and find that the planned fuel at destination is
less than the required minimum fuel, captain shall take the following
actions:
1) Change the planned flight route, altitude or cruising speed to
reduce the fuel consumption.
2) Select another alternate airport, this airport will reduce required
diversion fuel.
3) Assign a proper alternate and continue to destination in the range
of decision fuel range.
4) Change the planned landing airport (if the above methods are not
suitable)
9.9.5 Making new plan in flight
When planned operation condition has occurred, or other reasons
lead to the previous flight plan is not accepted or not valid, new flight
plan shall be made in flight. For example:
Weather or runway condition at destination and alternate is getting
worse.
Additional fuel consumption is required due to ATC or the change
of enroute wind.
Degraded flight performance
9.9.6 Minimum fuel operation(CCAR-121.555)
Minimum Fuel announcement by the captain to ATC is an indication
that an aircraft’s fuel supply has reached a state where, upon reaching
the destination, it can accept little or no delay. It is important to keep in
mind that a minimum fuel advisory is not an emergency; it is only an
advisory that an emergency situation is possible should any undue delay
occur. Its purpose is to provide ATC a precaution for possible
emergency.
1) When minimum fuel occurs, the captain should observe the following
rules:
(1) Announce Minimum Fuel to the ATC;
(2) Advise the ATC of the time to sustain in flight with the remaining
fuel;
(3) Continue the flight along the cleared route;
(4) Advise flight dispatchers that Minimum Fuel has been announced
(5) If flying in VFR or areas not covered by radar, report present
position and ETA.
2) Calculation of Minimum Fuel
Minimum Fuel refers to the specific minimum fuel quantity in flight
when the ATC must be advised to take emergency measures. It is the fuel
quantity that can provide the aircraft to fly 30 minutes with the holding
speed at 450m (1500ft) above the field elevation after reaching the
destination airport.
Refer to Annex 8 for holding fuel required for 3o minutes under different
conditions for E190, E145 and A320.
9.9.7 Emergency fuel operation
Emergency fuel operation procedure is to be used when the aircraft is
flying to the nearest suitable airport, and the captain has no other airport
or procedure available.
1) Emergency fuel status
(1) The aircraft is at the emergency fuel status if the following
conditions occur and the captain should declare an emergency:
a) The captain decides that the aircraft must direct to the
destination to land due to low fuel quantity at a certain point.
b) All the available methods for reducing fuel consumption have
been used, and no other delay is allowed.
(2)When the emergency fuel conditions occur, the captain shall:
a) Declare emergency fuel situation to ATC;
b) Standard callout: MAYDAY, MAYDAY, MAYDAY, XX
Flight is in emergency fuel condition, fuel remaining XXX, flight
timeXXXX (minutes)
Intentionally Blank
pilot does not receive a corrected altimeter setting, the altimeter may be
more than 1000 feet in error.
(6) Lightning
A lightning strike can puncture the skin of an aircraft. Lightning has been
suspected of igniting fuel vapours causing explosion; however, serious
accidents due to lightning strikes are extremely rare.
Nearby lightning can blind the pilot rendering him momentarily unable to
navigate either by instrument or by visual reference.
Lightning can also induce permanent errors in the magnetic compass and
lightning discharges, even distant ones, can disrupt radio communications
on low and medium frequencies.
In the event of lightning strike, conduct the following procedure:
a) In flight, check of all radio communication and navigational
equipment and the weather radar.
b) Record the lighting strike in the technical logbook。
c) On ground, check
① compensation of the (standby) compass
② signs of damage on fuselage, wings, radome, empennage
antennas, pitot heads
③ all control trailing edges and static dischargers
④ radio and navigation equipment.
Lightning intensity and frequency have no simple relationship to other
storm parameters. But, as a rule, severe storms have a high frequency of
lightning.
(7) Engine water ingestion
Jet engines have a limit on the amount of water they can ingest. Updrafts
are present in many thunderstorms, particularly those in the
development stages. If the updraft velocity in the thunderstorms
approaches or exceeds the terminal velocity of the falling raindrops,
very high concentrations of water may occur. It is possible that these
concentrations can be excess of the quantity of water engines are
designed to ingest. Therefore, severe thunderstorms may contain areas
of high water concentration which could result in flameout and/or
structural failure of one or more engines.
9.10.1.4 The avoidance of adverse weather and handling principle
1) General principle
(1) Company policy
a) When weather report there is possible thunderstorm en
route or onboard weather radar check the potential dangerous weather is
encountered, aircraft may not be dispatched according to the instrument
flight regulation until onboard weather radar operates normally.
b) TJA principle is to treat every thunderstorm as
dangerous weather. Actions shall be taken as soon as possible to avoid
thunderstorm area when thunderstorm is forecasted or has been known.
aircraft.
③Pressure changes may be encountered in strong drafts and may
conduct to an altitude error.
④ Gyro-stabilised instruments supply the only accurate flight
instrument indications.
⑤ Avoid level near the 0°C isotherm. The greatest probability of
severe turbulence and lightning strikes exist near the freezing
level.
⑥ Generally the altitudes between 10 000 ft and 20 000 ft
encompass the more severe turbulence, hail, and icing
conditions.
⑦ Due to very high concentration of water, massive water ingestion
can occur which could result in engine flameout and/or structural
failure of one or more engines. Changes in thrust should be
minimised.
(3) Operation notices
If is not possible to avoid flying through or near to a thunderstorm, the
following procedures and techniques are recommended:
a) Approaching the thunderstorm area ensures that crewmembers'
safety belts are firmly fastened and secure any loose articles.
b) Switch on the Seat Belt signs and make sure that all passengers are
securely strapped in and that loose equipment (e.g. cabin trolleys and
galley containers) are firmly secured. Pilots should remember that the
effect of turbulence is normally worse in the rear of the aircraft that on
the flight deck.
c) One pilot should fly the aircraft and control aircraft attitude
regardless of all else and the other monitor the flight instruments
continuously.
Height for penetration must be selected bearing in mind the importance of
insuring adequate terrain clearance. Due to turbulence, wind shear, local
pressure variations the maintenance of a safe flight path can be difficult.
d) The recommended speed for flight in turbulence must be observed
and the position of the adjusted trim must be noted.
e) Autopilot shall be uses most likely in severe turbulence since the
autopilot is likely to produce lower structural loads and smaller
oscillations than would result from manual flight. The auto-thrust should
be disconnected to avoid unnecessary and frequent thrust variations.
f) Check the operation of all anti-icing equipment and operate all
these systems in accordance with FCOM instructions: "Operation in icing
conditions". Icing can be very rapid at any altitude.
g) Flight crew must apply or be prepared to apply the FCOM
procedures: "Operations in or near to heavy rain, hail or sleet", and
"Operation in windshear/downburst conditions".
h)Turn the cockpit lighting fully on to minimise the blinding effect of
lightning.。
i) Continue monitoring the weather radar in order to pick out the

2) For Turbulence Handling Procedure please refer to Standard
Operation Procedures
3)Attach: Information for thunderstorm turbulence area
Turbulence area information for related troposphere is provided to TJA
operated all areas. Meteorology Department shall use various
aeronautical information source as the preparation measures for
thunderstorm turbulence area.
(1) Additional information source for domestic operation include:
a) Continuously updated radar chart;
b) Radar report from meteorology service department every hour.
c) Published turbulence area information for related troposphere
mainly refers to thunderstorm. Sometime the information published for
turbulence area may cause severe windshear or turbulence risk.
(2) Standard form
Domestic turbulence area information for related troposphere mainly
refers to development observation, and radar picture and radar report are
provided by the State meteorology bureau.
(3) Forecast and report procedure
a) The turbulence area information for related troposphere with
standard form shall be formulated by the professionals who is familiar
with meteorology picture and radar report and has the high flying
techniques.
b) Thunderstorm turbulence area information for related troposphere
shall be issued whenever the followings is observed or received:
maximum ceilings, the enroute area or approaching enroute area.
c) The turbulence area information required to be published: When
the speed of cloud mass is observed or expected to be 50 kts or higher,
shower turbulence area information shall be issued, because the fast
movement of air mass is approaching turbulence. If shower happens in
very dry air mass, the drops of rain and temperature change between air
masses are significant. Minor thunderstorm and connecting windshear is
easy to be produced in this situation.
Note: windshear and turbulence may exist only if convective movement
indicated by turbulence area information.
9.10.4 Windshear
Windshear is a rapid variation in wind velocity and/or direction along
skill etc:
a) Taking off should be delayed until conditions are improved when
strong windshear is confirmed:
b) During route flying, change heading in the vicinity of the known
windshear area;
c) Missed approach should be performed positively if the low level
windshear is known during approach, or diver to the alternate airport
until conditions are improved
(4) Measures of precautions for flight in low level windshear conditions:
Encounter windshear in flight is an extremely difficult and complex
problem. The time for pilots to react to control flight path until recovery
is very limited. For the quick and accurate reaction, the following
precaution measures should be followed when low level windshear is
forecasted and consider that the avoidance of windsear is not necessary:
a) Study weather forecast, be prepared mentally for the possible position,
altitude, and strength of the windshear.
b) Attention to listen to the ground metrological report and report from
other aircrafts, and reports during approach, studies the existence and
character of windshear, assess the risk for flying through windshear on
the flying aircraft and make correct decision. Normally, avoidance,
holding, diversion etc measures should be taken.
c) Crew coordination shall be stressed and make full use of the cockpit
resource. When flying in adverse weather, captain should organize the
responsibility sharing for the flight crew. Clearance on takeoff, approach
must be clear and brief. Flight crew should monitor flight instruments
from time to time, pay attention to any abnormal situation closely, fully
understand the runway environment, wind direction/speed, missed
approach procedure. Problems can be found and actions are able to be
performed immediately in case of any abnormality.
d) Do not attempt to fly through the severe windshear or strong
downburst area intentionally, especially in mountain area, low levels, or
single engine.
e) Keep distance with the strong downburst area. Outside downburst of
the thunderstorm may be exceeded the thunderstorm 20-30 kilometers
ahead. Do not fly through this area by luck.
f) If windshear is encountered on final approach phase, the proper
procedure shall be taken to go around to clear from windshear area
and join the holding or divert if only landing profile is not able to be
established;
g) If windshear is encountered, ATC should be reported immediately
about the windshear location, altitude, airspeed change range when
windshear is recovered in order to remind other traffics to fly into the
windshear, after flight finished, flight crew should report to company as
soon as possible using SMS format.
3) On some routes, aircraft may make use of jet, but the possibility for
encountering the unexpected strong headwind when flying into high
level jet, pilot should be aware of the additional burnt fuel caused by
this.
9.10.6 Volcanic ash clouds
1) The hazard of volcanic ash clouds to aircraft: the volcanic ash clouds are
extremely harmful to the aircraft when flying in high level for long range flight.
Flying in volcanic ash clouds may cause failure of the flight instrument of static
system, serious damage to aircraft engines, control surfaces, windows and landing
lights, volcanic ash clouds may block static pitot system, and damage the sensor
which is used for transferring digital data to auto system. Engines are damaged by
volcanic ash impurities corrode and block, engines flame out may occur in serious
condition and endanger the flight safety. Trying best to avoid flying into volcanic
ash clouds in flight.
2) Important meteorological information for volcanic ash clouds: there has not been
volcanic eruption in china, but attention must be paid for the signs of the eruption.
Especially Chang Baishang Tianchi volcanic in Northeast area. In addition, volcanic
eruption on the route to America and Australia happens quite often, therefore,
contact should be kept closely with Earthquake department. we should pay attention
to collect the important meteorological information and transfer to the related
departments timely. At present, the WAFS system installed in aviation Beijing
meteorology centre may receive the important meteorological information about the
volcanic ash.
3) Measures taken by pilots for volcanic ash:
(1) Before takeoff, information about route volcanic eruption and volcanic ash
cloud should be obtained from navigation department. If the risk exists, the
important weather report about the volcanic ash should be required from
meteorological department, and study satellite cloud chart thoroughly.
(2)Keep alarm when flying in the known or reported volcanic ash area. When HF
interruption, static disturbing, high EGT on the aircraft occurs, indicating that
aircraft may fling into volcanic ash clouds, auto throttle should be disengaged to
prevent engine damage. If altitude is possible, reduce to idle thrust and clear
volcanic ash area as soon as possible.
9.10.7 Heavy precipitation
1)Heavy precipitation may occur as rain showers, snow showers and
hail. The greatest impairment to flight is the reduced visibility and the
risk of in combination with low temperature. Heavy precipitation can be
associated with significant downdrafts and windshear.
2)Effect from water ingested by jet engines
(1) Under given weather conditions, the water / air ratio absorbed by
jet engines is directly related to its performance and aircraft engine.
(2) This ratio is considerably increased at a high aircraft speed and
engines at flight idle (typical descent conditions).
This means that during descent, under heavy rainfall conditions, or

9.11.2 IN CRUISE
Wake turbulence may be encountered in cruise, especially in North
Atlantic Track system where the aircraft flying in the same direction are
vertically separated by 1000ft.In this case, if considered necessary, the
pilot may offset from the cleared track by up to a maximum of 2NM in
order to alleviate the effects of wake turbulence. ATC should be advised
of this contingency action but will not issue clearance for any such lateral
offset. The aircraft should be returned to cleared track as soon as the
situation allows.

4)Cockpit may make PA as required.
Note:
1) Any deviation from the communication mentioned above must be
based on the coordination among the purser, the security officer and
the captain as a minimum and the information must be transferred to
every crew member. Request all crewmembers to join the
coordination if condition permits.
2) During non critical phase of flight, cockpit shall be reported timely
when abnormal situation occurs in the cabin. (eg. Continuous rings,
call the cockpit or report to the cockpit, etc.)
(1) The duty flight crew should sign in immediately after arrive at the
airport, and shall not later than the regulated time of signing in.
(2) The duty flight crew shall inform the relevant departments no matter
why he/she is not able to sign in on time. Unless very special conditions,
he/she should inform the relevant department 60 minutes prior to the
signing in time.
(3) When the same flight crew flies two or more inconsecutive flights on
the same calendar day, only one sign-in is required. Operation control
centre must arrange the crew to rest after the completion of the first
flight to guarantee the crew in the best physical condition and hence the
flight safety.
About the route information kit: the flight crew should get the kit when
departing from the base for the flight. For the crew staying at the airport:
1. get all necessary information for the whole day at the first flight. 2.
when it is impossible to get all information or there is change to the task,
the information is sent to the flight crew by the ground staff.
(4) The back up flight crew at the airport shall wear uniform and signing
in same time with the flight crew of the first flight of the day, and

9.13.1.8 Weight Balance Load Sheet preparation and inspection
(CCAR-121.679/627)
1) Weight balance Plan
(1) Before takeoff, the load balance department should offer the
maximum cargo weight to cargo center. The weight is an
approximate value based on estimated passenger and luggage
loading weight. With this information, cargo center may plan the
structure of cargo tray and the distribution of bulk cargo. The
cargo center works out the cargo information and hand over to the
load balance department;
(2) On the day of flying, the weight balance department establishes a
loading plan and hand it to the loading unit according cargo,
passenger and luggage estimated value. Then the weight balance
department shall calculate the takeoff weight, landing weight and
center of gravity to ensure the aircraft limitations of takeoff
performance weight, zero fuel weight or maximum landing weight
are not exceeded. That department shall also execute the loading
plan to ensure the aircraft within the center of gravity limitation.
With the loading plan, the weight balance department can inform
loading group the type and amount of luggage and cargo should be
loaded in each cargo cabin.
2) Loading control (CCAR-121.699)
(1) When the flight arriving termination, the weight balance
department shall ensure that all items are loaded according to the
loading plan during loading. The department should accurately
complete Weight Balance Form, and ensure the aircraft weight,
center of gravity are strictly controlled within permitted
limitation;
(2) Flight dispatcher uses the airport analysis of scheduled takeoff
runway to determine the maximum takeoff weight limitation of
present OAT. Any other factors that may affect aircraft takeoff
weight shall also be considered
(3) Flight dispatcher shall also provide the information of released
onboard fuel quantity, performance limitation weight, OAT,
runway used to load balance department, who will check the
performance limitation weight in the proper column of the Weight
Balance Form.
3) Before takeoff
The captain must check the Weight Balance Form and sign on it to show
certify the Weight Balance Form loading balance information all right
and within limitation area. If aircraft exceed any limitations of weight or
center of gravity, the captain shall coordinate with the flight dispatcher
and the principal of weight balance department, take necessary measures
to let the aircraft completely consist with those two requirements.
4) Aircraft Loading and Balance Form
The captain sign on the weight balance form, show that certify the
calculated performance standards of takeoff airport, airway, and
destination airport, and aircraft loading consist with the regulation of
weight balance.
9.13.1.9 The inspection before and during passenger boarding
The captain should inspect and verify following items:
1) Whether there is any passenger need special service.
2) The captain should permit passenger boarding when verifying that all
preparation (receiving ―cabin is ready‖ from purser, confirm
refueling is completed, maintenance signed of release and cockpit
preparation is completed) prior to passenger boarding has been
completed.
9.13.1.10 Cabin Door Close Regulation
Aircraft cabin doors must be closed and locked before push out taxi
when passenger boarding finished and the time of departure is coming
and approved by captain.
9.13.1.11 Re-open the doors
If the ground staff request re-openning the doors, the following
procedures should be followed:
1) The chief pursor (pursor) reports to the captain and gets captain’s
approval;
2) Request the flight attendants to disarm all the slides and cross check;
3) Open the cabin door. When performing this, one person opens and
another one monitors;
4) When the passenger door is closed again, the chief pursor (pursor)
makes immediate PA to arm the slides and cross check (if applicable);
As soon as door slides are armed (if applicable), the Purser should push
cockpit interphone ring once immediately as a signal to inform the flight
crew that door slides are armed which must be received prior to the first
aircraft movement.
9.13.1.12 Before departure check
The captain should inspect and verify the following items before
departure:
1) All passengers have boarded (receiving passenger all boarded report
from the purser).

difference for different airports).
1) During pre flight preparation, listening and copy the latest ATIS/or
setting QNH or QFE as informed by ATC for the departure airport.
Before descent, listening and copy the latest ATIS or ATC clearance.
The QNH or QFE is the only reference for the takeoff, approach and
landing phase. The detailed QNH or QFE value is based on the airport
approach chart published by CAAC. When receiving altitude clearance,
both pilots have to confirm the settings when altimeter settings are
changed. All flight crew members should monitor their actions.
2) Before departure and during cruising, pilot should continuously
obtain weather condition for destination airport (destination alternate,
route alternate) and route weather condition.
3) Both pilots should copy ATC clearance in the way that they are able
to identify and keep in the position that is easy to reach in order to
consult as clear record basis when necessary.
4) Before departure, ATC clearance is not only comply with the planned
departure and initial path, but also accord with the all legs in the whole
flight plan. As important method for checking takeoff data, ―takeoff
briefing‖ shall include ATC clearance. If any doubt is found, related
manuals and maps shall be consulted. When ATC deliver is involved
with terrain deliver clearance,
flight crew should confirm the correction of the clearance when doubt
exists, and verify thoroughly. Captain has the responsibility to ensure all
ATC clearance meet the requirement of terrain, obstacles separation.
5) When ATC clearance is received, navigation data base must be
2) Do not set high power settings in improper area after engine start, to
avoid the strong airflow or dust blow down person, building, or other

13.1 Definitions
13.1.1 RVSM(Reduced Vertical Separation Minimum)
Refers to the vertical separation reduced from 600 meters (2000 feet) to
300 meters (1000 feet) between 8900 M and 12500 M (included) in the
RVSM operation air space.
13.1.2 RVSM Transition Air Space
Transition space is from RVSM air space to non RVSM air space. The
transition air space is from 600 meters (2000 feet) vertical separation
RVSM air space to 300 meters (1000feet) vertical separation RVSM air
space, or leave from 1000 feet vertical separation RVSM air space to
2000 feet vertical separation RVSM air space, which is called RVSM
transition air space
If the local ATC temporarily announces to stop RVSM operation due
to weather and traffic conditions, keep the original vertical separation
from 1000 feet to 2000 feet; or ATC temporarily cancels RVSM
operation, airplanes change 2000 feet vertical separation to 1000 feet
vertical separation, vertical separation change in the same air space is also
called RVSM transition air space.
13.1.3 Suspension of RVSM Operation
Air traffic services will consider suspending RVSM procedures within
affected areas of Chinese FIRs when there are pilot reports of greater than
moderate turbulence. Within areas where RVSM procedures are
suspended, the vertical separation minimum between all aircraft will be
600 meters (2000 feet)
13.1.4 CAT I Navigation
CAT I navigation refers to all route operation or part operation are
within the standard route navigation equipment (VOR, VOR/DME, NDB)
which is regulated by ICAO. CAT I navigation also includes flight
operation over MEA GAP. The route operation in these area is called
CAT I navigation operation for the non-related navigation equipment.
CAT I navigation includes the operation with the usage of terrain marker

13.3.9 The Emergency Operating Procedures Regulation in RVSM
Airspace
Pilots should notify ATC of the emergencies that influence the cleared
flight level (CFL) (e.g. System failure, weather conditions), and discuss
the operation plan with ATC. The flight crew must report to ATC in the
following situations in flight:
1)RVSM cannot be performed because of system failure.
2)Loss of redundancy of altitude measuring system;
3)The turbulence that affects the ability of maintaining altitude.
4)The difference of two main altimeters is 200 feet.
5)The offset distance is 300 feet from ATC cleared flight level.
The flight crew should report to the company about further information
within 24 hours.
13.3.10 Technique Recording Log
Pilots should provide enough detailed information about the related
altitude maintaining system failure so that the maintenance staff can
effectively solve the problem and repair the systems. The problems that
appeared and the procedures that flight crew performed to separate and
remove failures should be clearly noted down. If applicable, the
following should be noted:
has been given the maintenance actions and repaired. They shouldn’t
influence the good condition of the needed equipment for RVSM flight
according to MEL dispatching items. Before flight, if there is any fault
indication for RVSM flight needed equipment, actions must be done to
solve it.(taxi back to apron, report it to maintenance personnel and flight
dispatcher on duty)
13.4.3.2 Check for Altimeter Indication Error
Set the altimeter correction according to the QNH in the local airport.
The difference between the local airport elevation and the indication on
altimeter should not exceed 23 meters (75 feet).for the airport with QFE
as reference, set the altimeter correction to the QFE at that time in the
local airport, and the altimeter should indicate zero. The indication error
should not exceed 23 meters (75 feet). Altimeter setting should comply
with the related requirements in flight operation manual. Record left and
ring altimeter indication in the computer flight plan. Fill the RVSM
Operation Records.
13.4.4 Takeoff Climb
When aircraft pass transition altitude, set the two main altimeters on
STD (1013.2hpa), and set the backup altimeter to 1013.2hpa as well.
When reaching the cleared flight level (CFL) for the first time, the pilot
should check the altimeter again to see whether it has been set to
1013.2hpa or not. Fill the RVSM Operation Log Book
13.4.5 Before Entering RVSM Airspace and RVSM Transition Airspace
Before the aircraft enter into RVSM airspace, the following
equipments should work normally:
1)Two main altitude measuring systems
2)One automatic altitude controlling system
3)One altitude warning system
If there is any required equipment failure, aircraft pilot should apply
for new clearance to avoid flight in this airspace.
Note: confirm the requirements for aircraft transponder when operating
in RVSM airspace in each plan. Confirm the requirements for transponder
in the transition airspace near RVSM airspace. Fill the RVSM Operation
Records.
13.4.6 Flight in RVSM Airspace
13.4.6.1 Flight crew should pay more attention when changing altitude,
listen clearly and understand ATC cleared altitude. When doing the
altitude changing clearance, make sure the flight crew’s crosscheck and
confirmation. When changing altitude, use the action carefully to avoid
fault TCAS warning.
13.4.6.2 Crosscheck the altimeter and the working condition of other
RVSM flight needed equipments at least once for each hour. RVSM

6)Report to person on duty of TJA Operation Control Dept. by using
communication equipment (satellite communication), and obtain
necessary assistance.
13.5.2 Emergency Procedures within Chinese Territory
Pilots should notify ATC the emergency situations (for example,
equipment failure, weather condition) which will influence the ability to
maintain the designated flight level and coordinate with the controller for
the action plan. Pilots should be familiar with the pilot and controller’s
emergency procedures under emergency situation, when the aircraft is in
one of the following situations, pilots should notify ATC in time.
1)Do not comply with the RVSM operation requirements due to
equipment failure.
2)Loss of redundancy for the altitude measurement system.
ATC must be notify, when pilot fly in RVSM airspace by following
instrument flight rules, and encounter severe turbulence which will
influence altitude maintaining ability then deviate 90 meters (300
feet)from the designated flight level or any other situation above. After
flight, report the deviation to the local safety supervision administration
office.
13.5.2.1 Emergency Handling Procedure: Encounter Adverse Weather

14.2 Definition
14.2.1 RNAV. A method of navigation which permits aircraft flying
along any expected path in the navigation signal covering area,
or in the ability restriction of airborne equipment or
combination of the two. RNAV request meeting the stated
accuracy within 95% of the flight time.
14.2.2 PBN is based on the performance. PBN prescribe the aircraft
flying system performance in designate area or along the ATS
flight path, instrument procedure, including navigation
accuracy, integrality, usability and function as needed.
14.2.3 GNSS (Global Navigation Satellite System). GNSS is the
current glossary of satellite navigation, providing worldwide
position, speed and time service. It consists of one or more
secondary planet constellation, airborne receiver and monitor of
keeping the system intact, etc. It includes American GPS,
European Galileo, Russian Glonass, Chinese Compass, SBAS
and GBAS etc.
14.2.4 ABAS (Airborne Augment System). ABAS is a sort of system
to enhance and (or) combine the information from GNSS
system by using airborne information.
14.2.5 RAIM (Receiver Autonomous Integrity Monitoring).RAIM is
the most common way of ABAS. It use GPS signal or utilize air
pressure altitude to confirm the GPS navigation signal is in
good condition. This technology is realized by examining the
coherence of redundant illusory distance measurement. The
receiver/ processor execute RAIM function, and need to receive
at least another secondary planet signal which have suitable
geometry configuration.
14.2.6 DME/DME(D/D)RNAV. RNAV is that to confirm aircraft
position through at least two DME station.
14.2.7 DME/DME/ IRU(D/D/I)RNAV. RNAV is that position
through using at least two DME station and IRU can provide
enough orientation information in the interspace area covering
by DME signal.
database.
14.4.2.6 The flight crew should cross check the permissive flight plan by
referencing the chart or adopting the other applicable ways.
If it is applicable, navigation system text display and MAP
display should be checked too. If needed, the remove of certain
NAVAIDS should be confirmed. Don’t use this procedure, if the
procedure’s validity of the navigation database can not be
confirmed.
Note: the flight crew may notice that there are slight difference
about the contents between navigation information described in
the chart and the main navigation display. The 3°heading
difference or less may be caused by the difference about the
magnetism difference data of the equipment manufacturer, it’s
acceptable in operation.
14.4.2.7 To confirm that the designate routes, arrival and departure
procedure has been entered correctly in RNAV system or FMS.
A DP. Before flight, the flight crew should verify that the airborne
navigation system is operated normally, runway and departure
procedure (include applicable route transition) have been entered
to RNAV system, and display correctly. The change of runway,
procedure and route transition is demanded after designating the
RNAV departure procedure, the flight crew must verify the
change has been transmitted to RNAV system and is applicable
to navigation. Final check of the runway and related DP before
take off is suggested.
B Route. The flight crew must verify that the designated routes in
the initial permission instruction and the route demanded to
change have been entered correctly into RNAV system. The
flight crew must confirm the way point sequence provided by the
navigation system is matching the related chart and the
designated routes.
C STAR. The flight crew must verify airborne navigation system is
operating normally, the related arrival procedure and runway
have been entered into RNAV system and display correctly.
14.4.2.8 The use of MAP display
Before takeoff, the flight crew should reference the display of
navigation map, and verify the interrelation between the aircraft
position and designated runway and DP, and verify matching the
outer visual inspection and chart. Especially,
once enter or near the designated runway, the flight crew should
confirm the MAP display is consistent with the relation between
aircraft and runway position, route display tallies the chart.
During flight, the display of MAP should be consistent with the
display of character in order to confirm the correctness of route.
14.4.2.9 To RNAV2 route, the flight crew should use HDI (Horizontal
Deviation Indicator), FD (Flight Director) or autopilot in LNAV
mode. The flight crew can use the MAP display which is
equivalent to Horizontal Deviation Indicator, and need not to use
flight indicator or autopilot. To RNAV1 route, the flight crew
must use Horizontal Deviation Indicator (or equivalent MAP
display), flight indicator and (or) autopilot in LNAV mode.
The flight crew must verify horizontal deviation scale is
matching with the demand of navigation precision in flight
procedure. Full scale deviation:RNAV1 ±1NM,RNAV 2
±2NM。
Except for ATC approving the deviation or encountering
emergency situation, in the whole period of RNAV operation
stated in this announcement, the flight crew should maintain at
the route centerline according to airborne horizontal deviate on
indicator and (or) flight guidance system. To the normal
operation, lateral track error or deviation (the differentia between
aircraft position and path calculated by RNAV system, ie. FTE)
should be controlled within ±1/2 of related procedure or route
navigation precision (eg. 0.5NM for RNAV1, 1.0NM for
RNAV2). It is allowed that temporary deviation (turn earlier or
later) which twice the navigation precision for maximum appears
after procedure or turning enroute, eg. 1.0NM for RNAV1, 2.0
NM for RNAV2.
Note: there’s no theory track display or calculation for some
aircraft in turning period. Under this condition, the flight crew
for this aircraft type may not maintain the precision demand of
less than±1/2 when turning enroute , but the precision demand
are still be requested to be satisfied after turning and in the
“direct to” leg.
14.4.2.10 If ATC issue a heading demand to disengage the aircraft from
RNAV procedure or route, the flight crew should not change the
procedure or route of RNAV system before receive the
permission of rejoin or a new permission issued by controller. If
the aircraft don’t fly in the published procedure or route, the
prescriptive precise demand is not applicable.
14.4.2.11 The function of manual select bank limitation is not commended;
the ability of maintaining expected flight path will be reduced by
using this function, especially under steep
turning conditions.
14.4.2.12 To the aircraft which have RNP ability, modification of the RNP
default set by manufacturer in the flight management computer
is not requested.
