Uncervicable items are kept in separate u/s racks with proper u/s stickers affixed on their package with u/s tag readily
available
Tyres should be stored vertically in racks having support tubes, so that each tyre is supported at two points on the
tread. This support tubes should be close enough so that major portion of the tyres is above the
tubes. The tyres should be turned to a new position every three months.
Rubber parts should, wherever possible, be stored in a 'relaxed' position free from compression or distortion, and in all
cases with the least possible deformation, since deformation greatly aggravates the action of ozone and can also lead
to permanent changes in shape and dimensions
Exposure to air containing ozone even in minute quantities, should be avoided. Storage rooms should not contain any
apparatus that is capable of generating ozone
1. Load & Trim is prepared prepared and signed by the Pilot-in-Command or persons duly trained in accordance with
CAR Section 8 Series 'D' Part I and responsible for supervising the loading of aircraft.

preparation ensuring that data is correct and max limits are not crossed.
This Airplane Flight Manual (AFM) is a reference document published in English. It is not established as an operational
document to be used directly by the crew in flight
AFM is approved by the EASA on behalf and according to the requirements of the importing Authority, e.g.
the US Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) for US registered aircraft.
Customised AFM
‐ Is extracted from a non customized aircraft model envelope AFM
‐ Is an approved document related to an operator's/owner's fleet
‐ Takes into account the specific configuration of each aircraft of the concerned fleet
- Airbus will provide a manual which reflects the aircraft configuration at delivery, and the necessary revisions to reflect
configuration changes due to Airbus approved modifications
FCOM
Any Flight Crew Operating Manual (FCOM) reference within the AFM must be considered as advisory information, the
FCOM being a non approved document, it is a support document for flight crew.
The purpose of the FCOM is to:
‐ Provide all necessary operating limitations, procedures, performance and system information the flight crew needs to
safely and efficiently operate A320 family aircraft during normal, abnormal, and emergency situations
‐ Serve directly as Flight Crew Operating Manual, or as a basis for Operators to develop their own customized Airline
Operations Manual, in accordance with applicable requirements
4. How to use part gives instruction on how to read and understand all different section of MEL where preamble of
MEL brief idea about MEL & MMEL, criteria for dispatch and repair interval. The operator shall specify his philosophy
for invoking MEL in the preamble to the MEL
5. Flight Hours - measured from the time an aeroplane first moves for the purpose of taking off until it finally stops at
the end of the flight
Calender days & Fligth day
Where a time period is specified in calendar days, it shall start at 00:01 on the calendar day following the day of
discovery.
Where a time period is specified in number of flights or flight hours, it shall start at the beginning of the first flight
following the discovery of the failure.
For the purpose of Categorization, the ‘Flight Day’ means a 24 hour period (from midnight to midnight) in Universal
Coordinated time (UTC), during which at least one flight is initiated for the
affected aircraft

1. PBN - Prformance basec navigation
The Perfomance Based Navigation (PBN) concept specifies system performance requirements in terms of accuracy,
integrity, availability, continuity and functionality needed for the proposed operations
2. RNAV - Radio Navigation
a method of navigation enabling aircraft to fly on any desired flight path within the coverage of referenced NAVAIDS
or within the limits of the capability of self-contained systems, or a combination of these capabilities
3. RNP -
RNP is RNAV operations with the added feature of on-board navigation performance monitoring and alerting
4. RNP is Requried navigation performance for aircraft & ANP is actual nav performance of the aircraft.
The Flight Management System calculates ANP based on:
VOR, GPS/GNS, DME and IRS. For example, if GPS is lost, ANP is significantly reduced.
A lower number for ANP indicates GOOD system accuracy. A higher number indicates REDUCED accuracy.
