Amendment 3 F-1 01.12.01
FOREWORD
1 The Civil Aviation Authorities of certain European countries have agreed common comprehensive and detailed aviation requirements, referred to as the Joint Aviation Requirements (JAR), with a view to minimising Type Certification problems on joint ventures, to facilitate the export and import of aviation products, to make it easier for maintenance carried out in one European country to be accepted by the Civil Aviation Authority in another European country and to regulate commercial air transport operations.
2 ICAO Annex 6 has been selected to provide the basic structure of JAR–OPS, the JAR for Air Operator
Certification, but with additional sub-division where considered appropriate. The content of Annex 6 has been used and added to where necessary by making use of existing European regulations and the Federal Aviation Requirements of the United States of America where acceptable.
3 JAR–OPS has been issued with no National Variants. It may be felt that the document does not contain all
of the detailed compliance and interpretative information which some Civil Aviation Authorities and Industry organisations would like to see. However, it has been accepted that JAR–OPS should be applied in practice and the lessons learned embodied in future amendments. The Civil Aviation Authorities of the JAA are therefore committed to amendment in the light of experience.
4 Future development of the requirements of JAR–OPS, including the commitment in Paragraph [3], will be
in accordance with the JAA’s Notice of Proposed Amendment (NPA) procedures. These procedures allow for the amendment of JAR–OPS to be proposed by the Civil Aviation Authority of any of the participating countries and by any organisation represented on the Joint Steering Assembly.
5 The Civil Aviation Authorities have agreed they should not unilaterally initiate amendment of their national
codes without having made a proposal for amendment of JAR–OPS in accordance with the agreed procedure.
6 Definitions and abbreviations of terms used in JAR–OPS that are considered generally applicable are
contained in JAR–1, Definitions and Abbreviations. However, definitions and abbreviations of terms used in JAR–OPS that are specific to a Subpart of JAR–OPS are normally given in the Subpart concerned or, exceptionally, in the associated compliance or interpretative material.
7 [Amendments to the text in JAR–OPS are issued as Replacement Pages. These show an effective date
and have the same status and applicability as JAR–OPS from that date.] 8 [New, amended and corrected text will be enclosed within heavy brackets until a subsequent ‘Amendment’
is issued.]

PREAMBLE
JAR–OPS 1
Issued 22.05.95
JAR–OPS 1 consists of 19 Subparts. However, the second published version does not contain Subpart Q (Flight and Duty Time Limitations and Rest Requirements) and where all Subpart Q material should be located is shown as ‘Reserved’. Until, or unless, Subpart Q is adopted, the existing national regulations governing Flight and Duty Time Limitations and Rest Requirements will apply. Where reference is made in JAR–OPS 1 to other JAR codes which have not yet been implemented (e.g. JAR–FCL) the equivalent existing national regulations will apply until such time as the referenced code has been implemented. Change 1 01.03.98
The second Issue of JAR-OPS 1 contains a large number of amendments which reflect the results of NPA-OPS-7 and NPA-OPS-9. It should be noted that, unless otherwise indicated, where amendments in this Issue are more demanding that the requirements in the initial Issue of JAR-OPS 1 (dated 22.5.95), the intended effective date for such requirements is no later than 1 October 1998. For those requirements where this is not the case, and no extra burden is demanded of operators, it is intended that the effective date should be 1 April 1998. In addition to Subpart Q, it should be noted that JAR-OPS 1.245(a)(2) is also ‘ Reserved’. The reason for this is that, following the comments received on this sub-paragraph during NPA-OPS 7, and the resulting changes that it was felt should be made to the text proposed in the NPA, JAR-OPS 1.245(a)(2) will have to be the subject of a further NPA. In addition, a supporting Acceptable Means of Compliance (AMC OPS 1.245(a)(2)) is being developed and will be included in the same NPA. The effect of this sub-paragraph being ‘Reserved’ is that, for those aeroplanes to which it will apply (those having a Maximum Approved Passenger Seating Configuration of 19 or less and a Maximum Take-off Mass less than 45360kg), the existing national rules for this type of operation will continue to be applicable, pending the results of the NPA. SECTION 1 Subpart A (a) Delayed implementation date in JAR-OPS 1(b)(2) arising from NPA-OPS-9. Subpart B (a) Amendment to Section 2 references in JAR-OPS 1.035 and sub-paragraph (a), and addition of sub-

reported RVR/visibility falls below the applicable
minimum, the approach may be continued to DA/H
or MDA/H.
(d) Where no outer marker or equivalent
position exists, the commander or the pilot to whom
conduct of the flight has been delegated shall make
the decision to continue or abandon the approach
before descending below 1 000 ft above the
aerodrome on the final approach segment. If the
MDA/H is at or above 1 000 ft above the
aerodrome, the operator shall establish a height,
for each approach procedure, below which the
approach shall not be continued if the
RVR/visibility is less than the applicable minima.
(e) The approach may be continued below
DA/H or MDA/H and the landing may be completed
provided that the required visual reference is
established at the DA/H or MDA/H and is
maintained.
(f) The touch-down zone RVR is always
controlling. If reported and relevant, the mid point
and stop end RVR are also controlling. The
minimum RVR value for the mid-point is 125 m or
the RVR required for the touch-down zone if less,
and 75 m for the stop-end. For aeroplanes equipped
with a roll-out guidance or control system, the
minimum RVR value for the mid-point is 75 m.

JAR-OPS 1.430 Aerodrome Operating
Minima – General
(See Appendix 1 to JAR-OPS
1.430 & IEM OPS 1.430)
(a) An operator shall establish, for each
aerodrome planned to be used, aerodrome operating
minima that are not lower than the values given in
Appendix 1. The method of determination of such
minima must be acceptable to the Authority. Such
minima shall not be lower than any that may be
established for such aerodromes by the State in
which the aerodrome is located, except when
specifically approved by that State.
Note: The above paragraph does not prohibit in-flight calculation of minima for a nonplanned alternate aerodrome if carried out in accordance with an accepted method.
(b) In establishing the aerodrome operating
minima which will apply to any particular operation,
an operator must take full account of:
(1) The type, performance and handling
characteristics of the aeroplane;
(2) The composition of the flight crew,
their competence and experience;
(3) The dimensions and characteristics of
the runways which may be selected for use;
(4) The adequacy and performance of the
available visual and non-visual ground aids; (See
AMC OPS 1.430(b)(4).)
(5) The equipment available on the
aeroplane for the purpose of navigation and/or
control of the flight path, as appropriate, during
the take-off, the approach, the flare, the landing,
roll-out and the missed approach;
(6) The obstacles in the approach, missed
approach and the climb-out areas required for the
execution of contingency procedures and
necessary clearance;
(7) The obstacle clearance altitude/height
for the instrument approach procedures; and
(8) The means to determine and report
meteorological conditions.
(c) The aeroplane categories referred to in this
Subpart must be derived in accordance with the
method given in Appendix 2 to JAR-OPS 1.430(c).
JAR-OPS 1.435 Terminology
(a) Terms used in this Subpart and not defined
in JAR–1 have the following meaning:
(1) Circling. The visual phase of an
instrument approach to bring an aircraft into
position for landing on a runway which is not
suitably located for a straight-in approach.
(2) Low Visibility Procedures (LVP).
Procedures applied at an aerodrome for the
purpose of ensuring safe operations during
Category II and III approaches and Low Visibility
Take-offs.
(3) Low Visibility Take-Off (LVTO). A
take-off where the Runway Visual Range (RVR)
is less than 400 m.
(4) Flight control system. A system
which includes an automatic landing system
and/or a hybrid landing system.
(5) Fail-Passive flight control system. A
flight control system is fail-passive if, in the
event of a failure, there is no significant out-of-
trim condition or deviation of flight path or
attitude but the landing is not completed
automatically. For a fail-passive automatic flight
control system the pilot assumes control of the
aeroplane after a failure.
(6) Fail-Operational flight control
system. A flight control system is fail-operational
if, in the event of a failure below alert height, the
approach, flare and landing, can be completed
automatically. In the event of a failure, the
automatic landing system will operate as a fail-
passive system.
(7) Fail-operational hybrid landing
system. A system which consists of a primary
fail-passive automatic landing system and a
secondary independent guidance system enabling
the pilot to complete a landing manually after
failure of the primary system.
Note: A typical secondary independent guidance system consists of a monitored head-up display providing guidance which normally takes the form of command information but it may alternatively be situation (or deviation) information.
(8) Visual approach. An approach when
either part or all of an instrument approach
procedure is not completed and the approach is
executed with visual reference to the terrain.

Aerodrome Operating Minima
(See IEM to Appendix 1 to JAR-OPS 1.430
(a) Take-off Minima
(1) General
(i) Take-off minima established by
the operator must be expressed as visibility
or RVR limits, taking into account all
relevant factors for each aerodrome
planned to be used and the aeroplane
characteristics. Where there is a specific
need to see and avoid obstacles on
departure and/or for a forced landing,
additional conditions (e.g. ceiling) must be
specified.
(ii) The commander shall not
commence take-off unless the weather
conditions at the aerodrome of departure
are equal to or better than applicable
minima for landing at that aerodrome
unless a suitable take-off alternate
aerodrome is available.
(iii) When the reported
meteorological visibility is below that
required for take-off and RVR is not
reported, a take-off may only be
commenced if the commander can
determine that the RVR/visibility along the
take-off runway is equal to or better than
the required minimum.
(iv) When no reported
meteorological visibility or RVR is
available, a take-off may only be
commenced if the commander can
determine that the RVR/visibility along the
take-off runway is equal to or better than
the required minimum.
(2) Visual reference. The take-off
minima must be selected to ensure sufficient
guidance to control the aeroplane in the event of
both a discontinued take-off in adverse
circumstances and a continued take-off after
failure of the critical power unit.
(3) Required RVR/Visibility
(i) For multi-engined aeroplanes,
whose performance is such that, in the
event of a critical power unit failure at any
point during take-off, the aeroplane can
either stop or continue the take-off to a
height of 1 500 ft above the aerodrome
while clearing obstacles by the required
margins, the take-off minima established by
an operator must be expressed as
RVR/Visibility values not lower than those
given in Table 1 below except as provided
in paragraph (4) below:

of a critical power unit failure, there may
be a need to re-land immediately and to see
and avoid obstacles in the take-off area.
Such aeroplanes may be operated to the
following take-off minima provided they
are able to comply with the applicable
obstacle clearance criteria, assuming engine
failure at the height specified. The take-off
minima established by an operator must be
based upon the height from which the one
engine inoperative net take-off flight path
can be constructed. The RVR minima used
may not be lower than either of the values
given in Table 1 above or Table 2 below.

Note 6: The Table is applicable to conventional approaches with a glide slope angle up to and including 4.
Note 7: The DH mentioned in the Table 5 refers to the initial calculation of DH. When selecting the associated RVR, there is no need to take account of a rounding up to the nearest ten feet, which may be done for operational purposes, (e.g. conversion to DA).
(5) Single pilot operations. For single
pilot operations, an operator must calculate the
minimum RVR for all approaches in accordance
with JAR-OPS 1.430 and this Appendix. An
RVR of less than 800 m is not permitted except
when using a suitable autopilot coupled to an ILS
or MLS, in which case normal minima apply. The
Decision Height applied must not be less than
1·25 x the minimum use height for the autopilot.
(6) Night operations. For night
operations at least runway edge, threshold and
runway end lights must be on.
(d) Precision approach – Category II
operations
(1) General. A Category II operation is a
precision instrument approach and landing using
ILS or MLS with:
Appendix 1 to JAR-OPS 1.430 (continued) Appendix 1 to JAR-OPS 1.430 (continued)
JAR-OPS 1 Subpart E SECTION 1
01.09.04 1-E-8 Amendment 7
(i) A decision height below 200 ft
but not lower than 100 ft; and
(ii) A runway visual range of not
less than 300 m.
(2) Decision Height. An operator must
ensure that the decision height for a Category II
operation is not lower than:
(i) The minimum decision height
specified in the AFM, if stated;
(ii) The minimum height to which
the precision approach aid can be used
without the required visual reference;
(iii) The OCH/OCL for the category
of aeroplane;
(iv) The decision height to which
the flight crew is authorised to operate; or
(v) 100 ft.
(3) Visual reference. A pilot may not
continue an approach below the Category II
decision height determined in accordance with
sub-paragraph (d)(2) above unless visual
reference containing a segment of at least 3
consecutive lights being the centre line of the
approach lights, or touchdown zone lights, or
runway centre line lights, or runway edge lights,
or a combination of these is attained and can be
maintained. This visual reference must include a
lateral element of the ground pattern, i.e. an
approach lighting crossbar or the landing
threshold or a barette of the touchdown zone
lighting.
(4) Required RVR. The lowest minima to
be used by an operator for Category II operations
are:
Table 6 – RVR for Cat II approach vs DH
Category II minima
Decision height Auto-coupled to below DH (Note 1)
RVR/Aeroplane Category A, B & C

Note 1: The reference to ‘auto-coupled to below DH’ in this table means continued use of the automatic flight control system down to a height which is not greater than 80% of the applicable DH. Thus airworthiness requirements may, through minimum engagement height for the automatic flight control system, affect the DH to be applied.
Note 2: 300 m may be used for a Category D aeroplane conducting an autoland.
(See IEM to Appendix 1 to JAR-OPS 1.430 paragraphs (d) and (e).)
(e) Precision approach – Category III
operations
(1) General. Category III operations are
subdivided as follows:
(i) Category III A operations. A
precision instrument approach and landing
using ILS or MLS with:
(A) A decision height lower
than 100 ft; and
(B) A runway visual range
not less than 200 m.
(ii) Category III B operations. A
precision instrument approach and landing
using ILS or MLS with:
(A) A decision height lower
than 50 ft, or no decision height; and
(B) A runway visual range
lower than 200 m but not less than 75
m.
Note: Where the decision height (DH) and runway visual range (RVR) do not fall within the same Category, the RVR will determine in which Category the operation is to be considered.
(2) Decision Height. For operations in
which a decision height is used, an operator must
ensure that the decision height is not lower than:
(i) The minimum decision height
specified in the AFM, if stated;
(ii) The minimum height to which
the precision approach aid can be used
without the required visual reference; or
(iii) The decision height to which
the flight crew is authorised to operate.
(3) No Decision Height Operations.
Operations with no decision height may only be
conducted if:
(i) The operation with no decision
height is authorised in the AFM;
(ii) The approach aid and the
aerodrome facilities can support operations
with no decision height; and
(iii) The operator has an approval
for CAT III operations with no decision
height.
Note: In the case of a CAT III runway it may be assumed that operations with no decision height can be supported unless specifically restricted as published in the AIP or NOTAM.

touchdown zone lights, or runway
centreline lights, or runway edge lights, or
a combination of these is attained and can
be maintained.
(ii) For Category IIIB operations
with fail-operational flight control systems
using a decision height a pilot may not
continue an approach below the Decision
Height, determined in accordance with sub-
paragraph (e)(2) above, unless a visual
reference containing at least one centreline
light is attained and can be maintained.

an RVR of less than 800 m for a visual approach.
(h) Conversion of Reported Meteorological
Visibility to RVR
(1) An operator must ensure that a
meteorological visibility to RVR conversion is
not used for calculating take-off minima,
Category II or III minima or when a reported
RVR is available.
Note: If the RVR is reported as being above the maximum value assessed by the aerodrome operator, e.g. “RVR more than 1 500 metres”, it is not considered to be a reported RVR in this context and the Conversion Table may be used.
(2) When converting meteorological
visibility to RVR in all other circumstances than
those in sub-paragraph (h)(1) above, an operator
must ensure that the following Table is used:

Aeroplane categories – All Weather
Operations
(a) Classification of aeroplanes
The criteria taken into consideration for the
classification of aeroplanes by categories is the
indicated airspeed at threshold (VAT) which is equal
to the stalling speed (VSO) multiplied by 1·3 or VS1G
multiplied by 1·23 in the landing configuration at
the maximum certificated landing mass. If both VSO
and VS1G are available, the higher resulting VAT
shall be used. The aeroplane categories
corresponding to VAT values are in the Table below:
Aeroplane Category VAT
A Less than 91 kt
B From 91 to 120 kt
C From 121 to 140 kt
D From 141 to 165 kt
E From 166 to 210 kt
The landing configuration which is to be taken into
consideration shall be defined by the operator or by
the aeroplane manufacturer.
(b) Permanent change of category (maximum
landing mass)
(1) An operator may impose a
permanent, lower, landing mass, and use this
mass for determining the VAT if approved by the
Authority.
(2) The category defined for a given
aeroplane shall be a permanent value and thus
independent of the changing conditions of day-
to-day operations.

Appendix 1 to JAR-OPS 1.440
Low Visibility Operations – General
Operating Rules
(a) General. The following procedures apply to
the introduction and approval of low visibility
operations.
(b) Operational Demonstration. The purpose
of the operational demonstration is to determine or
validate the use and effectiveness of the applicable
aircraft flight guidance systems, training, flight crew
procedures, maintenance programme, and manuals
applicable to the Category II/III programme being
approved.
(1) At least 30 approaches and landings
must be accomplished in operations using the
Category II/III systems installed in each aircraft
type if the requested DH is 50 ft or higher. If the
DH is less than 50 ft, at least 100 approaches and
landings will need to be accomplished unless
otherwise approved by the Authority.
(2) If an operator has different variants
of the same type of aircraft utilising the same
basic flight control and display systems, or
different basic flight control and display systems
on the same type of aircraft, the operator must
show that the various variants have satisfactory
performance, but the operator need not conduct a
full operational demonstration for each variant.
The Authority may also accept a reduction of the
number of approach and landings based on credit
given for the experience gained by another
operator with an AOC issued in accordance with
JAR-OPS 1 using the same aeroplane type or
variant and procedures.
(3) If the number of unsuccessful
approaches exceeds 5 % of the total (e.g.
unsatisfactory landings, system disconnects) the
evaluation programme must be extended in steps
of at least 10 approaches and landings until the
overall failure rate does not exceed 5 %.
(c) Data Collection For Operational
Demonstrations. Each applicant must develop a data
collection method (e.g. a form to be used by the
flight crew) to record approach and landing
performance. The resulting data and a summary of
the demonstration data shall be made available to
the Authority for evaluation.
(d) Data Analysis. Unsatisfactory approaches
and/or automatic landings shall be documented and
analysed.
(e) Continuous Monitoring
(1) After obtaining the initial
authorisation, the operations must be
continuously monitored by the operator to detect
any undesirable trends before they become
hazardous. Flight crew reports may be used to
achieve this.
(2) The following information must be
retained for a period of 12 months:
(i) The total number of
approaches, by aeroplane type, where the
airborne Category II or III equipment was
utilised to make satisfactory, actual or
practice, approaches to the applicable
Category II or III minima; and
(ii) Reports of unsatisfactory
approaches and/or automatic landings, by
aerodrome and aeroplane registration, in
the following categories:
(A) Airborne equipment
faults;
(B) Ground facility
difficulties;
(C) Missed approaches
because of ATC instructions; or
(D) Other reasons.
(3) An operator must establish a
procedure to monitor the performance of the
automatic landing system of each aeroplane.
(f) Transitional periods
(1) Operators with no previous Category
II or III experience
(i) An operator without previous
Category II or III operational experience
may be approved for Category II or IIIA
operations, having gained a minimum
experience of 6 months of Category I
operations on the aeroplane type.
(ii) On completing 6 months of
Category II or IIIA operations on the
aeroplane type the operator may be
approved for Category IIIB operations.
When granting such an approval, the
Authority may impose higher minima than
the lowest applicable for an additional
period. The increase in minima will
normally only refer to RVR and/or a
restriction against operations with no
decision height and must be selected such
that they will not require any change of the
operational procedures.
(2) Operators with previous Category II
or III experience. An operator with previous
Category II or III experience may obtain
authorisation for a reduced transition period by
application to the Authority.

and LVTO equipment. Maintenance instructions for
the on-board guidance systems must be established
by the operator, in liaison with the manufacturer,
and included in the operator’s aeroplane
maintenance programme prescribed in JAR–OPS
1.910 which must be approved by the Authority.
(h) Eligible Aerodromes and Runways
(1) Each aeroplane type/on-board
equipment/runway combination must be verified
by the successful completion of at least one
approach and landing in Category II or better
conditions, prior to commencing Category III
operations.
(2) For runways with irregular pre-
threshold terrain or other foreseeable or known
deficiencies, each aeroplane type/on-board
equipment/runway combination must be verified
by operations in Category I or better conditions,
prior to commencing Category II or III
operations.
(3) If an operator has different variants
of the same type of aircraft utilising the same
basic flight control and display systems, or
different basic flight control and display systems
on the same type of aircraft, the operator must
show that the various variants have satisfactory
performance, but the operator need not conduct a
full operational demonstration for each
variant/runway combination.
(4) Operators using the same aeroplane
type/variant and on-board equipment
combination and procedures may take credit from
each others’ experience and records in complying
with this paragraph.

be placed on flight crew responsibilities during
transition from non-visual conditions to visual
conditions, and on the procedures to be used in
deteriorating visibility or when failures occur.
Special attention must be paid to the distribution
of flight deck duties so as to ensure that the
workload of the pilot making the decision to land
or execute a missed approach enables him to
devote himself to supervision and the decision
making process.
(2) An operator must specify the detailed
operating procedures and instructions in the
Operations Manual. The instructions must be
compatible with the limitations and mandatory
procedures contained in the Aeroplane Flight
Manual and cover the following items in
particular:
(i) Checks for the satisfactory
functioning of the aeroplane equipment,
both before departure and in flight;
(ii) Effect on minima caused by
changes in the status of the ground
installations and airborne equipment;
(iii) Procedures for the take-off,
approach, flare, landing, roll-out and
missed approach;
(iv) Procedures to be followed in
the event of failures, warnings and other
non-normal situations;
(v) The minimum visual reference
required;
(vi) The importance of correct
seating and eye position;
(vii) Action which may be necessary
arising from a deterioration of the visual
reference;
(viii) Allocation of crew duties in the
carrying out of the procedures according to
sub-paragraphs (i) to (iv) and (vi) above, to
allow the Commander to devote himself
mainly to supervision and decision making;
(ix) The requirement for all height
calls below 200 ft to be based on the radio
altimeter and for one pilot to continue to
monitor the aeroplane instruments until the
landing is completed;
(x) The requirement for the
Localiser Sensitive Area to be protected;
(xi) The use of information relating
to wind velocity, windshear, turbulence,
runway contamination and use of multiple
RVR assessments;
(xii) Procedures to be used for
practice approaches and landing on
runways at which the full Category II or
Category III aerodrome procedures are not
in force;
(xiii) Operating limitations resulting
from airworthiness certification; and
(xiv) Information on the maximum
deviation allowed from the ILS glide path
and/or localiser.

JAR–OPS 1.620 Mass values for passengers and baggage
(a) An operator shall compute the mass of passengers and checked baggage using either the actual weighed mass of each person and the actual weighed mass of baggage or the standard mass values specified in Tables 1 to 3 below except where the number of passenger seats available is [less than 10. In such cases passenger mass may be established by use of a verbal statement by or on behalf of each passenger and adding to it a pre-determined constant to account for hand baggage and clothing (See AMC OPS 1.620(a)). The] procedure specifying when to select actual or standard masses and the procedure to be followed when using verbal statements must be included in the Operations Manual.
(b) If determining the actual mass by weighing, an operator must ensure that passengers’ personal belongings and hand baggage are included. Such weighing must be conducted immediately prior to boarding and at an adjacent location.
(c) If determining the mass of passengers using standard mass values, the standard mass values in Tables 1 and 2 below must be used. The standard masses include hand baggage and the mass of any infant below 2 years of age carried by an adult on one passenger seat. Infants occupying separate passenger seats must be considered as children for the purpose of this sub-paragraph.
(d) Mass values for passengers – 20 passenger seats or more
(1) Where the total number of passenger seats available on an aeroplane is 20 or more, the standard masses of male and female in Table 1 are applicable. As an alternative, in cases where the total number of passenger seats available is 30 or more, the ‘All Adult’ mass values in Table 1 are applicable.

(g) If an operator wishes to use standard mass values other than those contained in Tables 1 to 3 above, he must advise the Authority of his reasons and gain its approval in advance. He must also submit for approval a detailed weighing survey plan and apply the statistical analysis method given in Appendix 1 to JAR–OPS 1.620(g). After verification and approval by the Authority of the results of the weighing survey, the revised standard mass values are only applicable to that operator. The revised standard mass values can only be used in circumstances consistent with those under which the survey was conducted. Where revised standard masses exceed those in Tables 1–3, then such higher values must be used. (See IEM OPS 1.620(g).)
(h) On any flight identified as carrying a significant number of passengers whose masses, including hand baggage, are expected to exceed the standard passenger mass, an operator must determine the actual mass of such passengers by weighing or by adding an adequate mass increment. (See IEM OPS 1.620(h) & (i).)
(i) If standard mass values for checked baggage are used and a significant number of passengers check in baggage that is expected to exceed the standard baggage mass, an operator must determine the actual mass of such baggage by weighing or by adding an adequate mass increment. (See IEM OPS 1.620(h) & (i).)

Appendix 1 to JAR–OPS 1.605 Mass and Balance – General See JAR–OPS 1.605
(a) Determination of the dry operating mass of an aeroplane
(1) Weighing of an aeroplane
(i) New aeroplanes are normally weighed at the factory and are eligible to be placed into operation without reweighing if the mass and balance records have been adjusted for alterations or modifications to the aeroplane. Aeroplanes transferred from one JAA operator with an approved mass control programme to another JAA operator with an approved programme need not be weighed prior to use by the receiving operator unless more than 4 years have elapsed since the last weighing.
(ii) The individual mass and centre of gravity (CG) position of each aeroplane shall be re-established periodically. The maximum interval between two weighings must be defined by the operator and must meet the requirements of JAR–OPS 1.605(b). In addition, the mass and the CG of each aeroplane shall be re-established either by:
(A) Weighing; or
(B) Calculation, if the operator is able to provide the necessary justification to prove the validity of the method of calculation chosen,
whenever the cumulative changes to the dry operating mass exceed ± 0·5% of the maximum landing mass or the cumulative change in CG position exceeds 0·5% of the mean aerodynamic chord.
(2) Fleet mass and CG position
(i) For a fleet or group of aeroplanes of the same model and configuration, an average dry operating mass and CG position may be used as the fleet mass and CG position, provided that the dry operating masses and CG positions of the individual aeroplanes meet the tolerances specified in sub-paragraph (ii) below. Furthermore, the criteria specified in sub-paragraphs (iii), (iv) and (a)(3) below are applicable.
(ii) Tolerances
(A) If the dry operating mass of any aeroplane weighed, or the
calculated dry operating mass of any aeroplane of a fleet, varies by more than ±0·5% of the maximum structural landing mass from the established dry operating fleet mass or the CG position varies by more than ±0·5 % of the mean aero-dynamic chord from the fleet CG, that aeroplane shall be omitted from that fleet. Separate fleets may be established, each with differing fleet mean masses.
(B) In cases where the aeroplane mass is within the dry operating fleet mass tolerance but its CG position falls outside the permitted fleet tolerance, the aeroplane may still be operated under the applicable dry operating fleet mass but with an individual CG position.
(C) If an individual aeroplane has, when compared with other aeroplanes of the fleet, a physical, accurately accountable difference (e.g. galley or seat con-figuration), that causes exceedance of the fleet tolerances, this aeroplane may be maintained in the fleet provided that appropriate corrections are applied to the mass and/or CG position for that aeroplane.
(D) Aeroplanes for which no mean aerodynamic chord has been published must be operated with their individual mass and CG position values or must be subjected to a special study and approval.
(iii) Use of fleet values
(A) After the weighing of an aeroplane, or if any change occurs in the aeroplane equipment or configuration, the operator must verify that this aeroplane falls within the tolerances specified in sub-paragraph (2)(ii) above.
(B) Aeroplanes which have not been weighed since the last fleet mass evaluation can still be kept in a fleet operated with fleet values, provided that the individual values are revised by computation and stay within the tolerances defined in sub-paragraph (2)(ii) above. If these individual values no longer fall
Appendix 1 to JAR-OPS 1.605(a)(2) (continued)
SECTION 1 SUBPART J JAR-OPS 1
01.03.98 1-J-5
within the permitted tolerances, the operator must either determine new fleet values fulfilling the conditions of sub-paragraphs (2)(i) and (2)(ii) above, or operate the aeroplanes not falling within the limits with their individual values.
(C) To add an aeroplane to a fleet operated with fleet values, the operator must verify by weighing or computation that its actual values fall within the tolerances specified in sub-paragraph (2)(ii) above.
(iv) To comply with sub-paragraph (2)(i) above, the fleet values must be updated at least at the end of each fleet mass evaluation.
(3) Number of aeroplanes to be weighed to obtain fleet values
(i) If ‘n’ is the number of aeroplanes in the fleet using fleet values, the operator must at least weigh, in the period between two fleet mass evaluations, a certain number of aeroplanes defined in the Table below:
Number of aeroplanes Minimum number of
in the fleet weighings
2 or 3 n
4 to 9 n + 3
2
10 or more n + 51
10
(ii) In choosing the aeroplanes to be weighed, aeroplanes in the fleet which have not been weighed for the longest time shall be selected.
(iii) The interval between 2 fleet mass evaluations must not exceed 48 months.
(4) Weighing procedure
(i) The weighing must be accomplished either by the manufacturer or by an approved maintenance organisation.
(ii) Normal precautions must be taken consistent with good practices such as:
(A) Checking for completeness of the aeroplane and equipment;
(B) Determining that fluids are properly accounted for;
(C) Ensuring that the aeroplane is clean; and
(D) Ensuring that weighing is accomplished in an enclosed building.
(iii) Any equipment used for weighing must be properly calibrated, zeroed, and used in accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions. Each scale must be calibrated either by the manufacturer, by a civil department of weights and measures or by an appropriately authorised organisation within 2 years or within a time period defined by the manufacturer of the weighing equipment, whichever is less. The equipment must enable the mass of the aeroplane to be established [accurately. (See AMC to Appendix 1 to JAR OPS 1.605 para(a)(4)(iii).)]
(b) Special standard masses for the traffic load. In addition to standard masses for passengers and checked baggage, an operator can submit for approval to the Authority standard masses for other load items.
(c) Aeroplane loading
(1) An operator must ensure that the loading of its aeroplanes is performed under the supervision of qualified personnel.
(2) An operator must ensure that the loading of the freight is consistent with the data used for the calculation of the aeroplane mass and balance.
(3) An operator must comply with additional structural limits such as the floor strength limitations, the maximum load per running metre, the maximum mass per cargo compartment, and/or the maximum seating limits.
(d) Centre of gravity limits
(1) Operational CG envelope. Unless seat allocation is applied and the effects of the number of passengers per seat row, of cargo in individual cargo compartments and of fuel in individual tanks is accounted for accurately in the balance calculation, operational margins must be applied to the certificated centre of gravity envelope. In determining the CG margins, possible deviations from the assumed load distribution must be considered. If free seating is applied, the operator must introduce procedures to ensure corrective action by flight or cabin crew if extreme longitudinal seat selection occurs. The CG

Appendix 1 to JAR–OPS 1.620(g) Procedure for establishing revised standard mass values for passengers and baggage (See IEM to Appendix 1 to JAR–OPS 1.620 (g))
(a) Passengers
(1) Weight sampling method. The average mass of passengers and their hand baggage must be determined by weighing, taking random samples. The selection of random samples must by nature and extent be representative of the passenger volume, considering the type of operation, the frequency of flights on various routes, in/outbound flights, applicable season and seat capacity of the aeroplane.
(2) Sample size. The survey plan must cover the weighing of at least the greatest of:
(i) A number of passengers calculated from a pilot sample, using normal statistical procedures and based on a relative confidence range (accuracy) of 1% for all adult and 2% for separate male and female average masses (the statistical procedure, complemented with a worked example for determining the minimum required sample size and the average mass, is included in IEM OPS 1.620(g)); and
(ii) For aeroplanes:
(A) With a passenger seating capacity of 40 or more, a total of 2000 passengers; or
(B) With a passenger seating capacity of less than 40, a total number of 50 x (the passenger seating capacity).
[(3) Passenger masses. Passenger masses must include the mass of the passengers’ belongings which are carried when entering the aeroplane. When taking random samples of passenger masses, infants shall be weighed together with the accompanying adult. (See also JAR-OPS 1.620(c)(d) and (e).)]
(4) Weighing location. The location for the weighing of passengers shall be selected as close as possible to the aeroplane, at a point where a change in the passenger mass by disposing of or by acquiring more personal belongings is unlikely to occur before the passengers board the aeroplane.
(5) Weighing machine. The weighing machine to be used for passenger weighing shall have a capacity of at least 150 kg. The mass shall be displayed at minimum graduations of 500 g.
The weighing machine must be accurate to within 0·5% or 200 g whichever is the greater.
(6) Recording of mass values. For each flight included in the survey, the mass of the passengers, the corresponding passenger category (i.e. male/female/children) and the flight number must be recorded.
(b) Checked baggage. The statistical procedure for determining revised standard baggage mass values based on average baggage masses of the minimum required sample size is basically the same as for passengers and as specified in sub-paragraph (a)(1) (See also IEM OPS 1.620(g)). For baggage, the relative confidence range (accuracy) amounts to 1%. A minimum of 2000 pieces of checked baggage must be weighed.
(c) Determination of revised standard mass values for passengers and checked baggage
(1) To ensure that, in preference to the use of actual masses determined by weighing, the use of revised standard mass values for passengers and checked baggage does not adversely affect operational safety, a statistical analysis (See IEM OPS 1.620(g)) must be carried out. Such an analysis will generate average mass values for passengers and baggage as well as other data.
(2) On aeroplanes with 20 or more passenger seats, these averages apply as revised standard male and female mass values.
(3) On smaller aeroplanes, the following increments must be added to the average passenger mass to obtain the revised standard mass values: Number of passenger Required mass seats increment
1 – 5 incl. 16 kg
6 – 9 incl. 8 kg
10 – 19 incl. 4 kg
Alternatively, all adult revised standard (average) mass values may be applied on aeroplanes with 30 or more passenger seats. Revised standard (average) checked baggage mass values are applicable to aeroplanes with 20 or more passenger seats.
(4) Operators have the option to submit a detailed survey plan to the Authority for approval and subsequently a deviation from the revised standard mass value provided this deviating value is determined by use of the procedure explained
SECTION 1 SUBPART J JAR-OPS 1
01.03.98 1-J-9
in this Appendix. Such deviations must be reviewed at intervals not exceeding 5 years. (See AMC to Appendix 1 to JAR–OPS 1.620(g), sub-paragraph (c)(4).)
(5) All adult revised standard mass values must be based on a male/female ratio of 80/20 in respect of all flights except holiday charters which are 50/50. If an operator wishes to obtain approval for use of a different ratio on specific routes or flights then data must be submitted to the Authority showing that the alternative male/female ratio is conservative and covers at least 84% of the actual male/female ratios on a sample of at least 100 representative flights.
(6) The average mass values found are rounded to the nearest whole number in kg. Checked baggage mass values are rounded to the nearest 0.5 kg figure, as appropriate.

The number is introduced by the letters AMC or IEM to distinguish the material from the JAR itself. 2.3 The acronyms AMC and IEM also indicate the nature of the material and for this purpose the two types of material are defined as fol lows: Acceptable Means of Compliance (AMC) i l lustrate a means, or several alternative means, but not necessarily the only possible means by which a requirement can be met. It should however be noted that where a new AMC is developed, any such AMC (which may be additional to an existing AMC) wil l be amended into the document fol lowing consultation under the NPA procedure. Interpretative/Explanatory Material (IEM) helps to i l lustrate the meaning of a requirement. 2.4 New AMC or IEM material may, in the f irst place, be made avai lable rapidly by being published as a Temporary Guidance Leaflet (TGL). Operations TGLs can be found in the Joint Aviation Authorities Administrative & Guidance Material, Section 4 – Operations, Part Three: Temporary Guidance.

AMC OPS 1.035 Quality System See JAR-OPS 1.035
1 Introduction
1.1 In order to show compliance with JAR-OPS 1.035, an operator should establish his Quality System in accordance with the instructions and information contained in the following paragraphs:
2 General
2.1 Terminology
a. The terms used in the context of the requirement for an operator’s Quality System have the following meanings:
i. Accountable Manager. The person acceptable to the Authority who has corporate authority for ensuring that all operations and maintenance activities can be financed and carried out to the standard required by the Authority, and any additional requirements defined by the operator.
ii. Quality Assurance. All those planned and systematic actions necessary to provide adequate confidence that operational and maintenance practices satisfy given requirements.
iii. Quality Manager. The manager, acceptable to the Authority, responsible for the management of the Quality System, monitoring function and requesting corrective actions.
2.2 Quality Policy
2.2.1 An operator should establish a formal written Quality Policy Statement that is a commitment by the Accountable Manager as to what the Quality System is intended to achieve. The Quality Policy should reflect the achievement and continued compliance with JAR-OPS 1 together with any additional standards specified by the operator.
2.2.2 The Accountable Manager is an essential part of the AOC holder’s management organisation. With regard to the text in JAR-OPS 1.175 (h) and the above terminology, the term ‘Accountable Manager’ is intended to mean the Chief Executive / President / Managing Director / Director General / General Manager etc. of the operator’s organisation, who by virtue of his position has overall responsibility (including financial) for managing the organisation .
2.2.3 The Accountable Manager will have overall responsibility for the AOC holders Quality System including the frequency, format and structure of the internal management evaluation activities as prescribed in paragraph 4.9 below.
2.3 Purpose of the Quality System
2.3.1 The Quality System should enable the operator to monitor compliance with JAR-OPS 1, the Operations Manual, the Operator's Maintenance Management Exposition, and any other standards specified by that operator, or the Authority, to ensure safe operations and airworthy aircraft.
2.4 Quality Manager
2.4.1 The function of the Quality Manager to monitor compliance with, and the adequacy of, procedures required to ensure safe operational practices and airworthy aeroplanes, as required by JAR-OPS 1.035(a), may be carried out by more than one person by means of different, but complementary, Quality Assurance Programmes.
2.4.2 The primary role of the Quality Manager is to verify, by monitoring activity in the fields of flight operations, maintenance, crew training and ground operations, that the standards required by the Authority, and any additional requirements defined by the operator, are being carried out under the supervision of the relevant Nominated Postholder.
2.4.3 The Quality Manager should be responsible for ensuring that the Quality Assurance Programme is properly established, implemented and maintained.
2.4.4 The Quality Manager should:
a. Have direct access to the Accountable Manager;
b. Not be one of the nominated post holders; and
Amendment 7 2-B-4 01.09.04
SECTION 2 JAR-OPS 1 Subpart B AMC OPS 1.035 (continued)
c. Have access to all parts of the operator’s and, as necessary, any sub-contractor’s organisation.
2.4.5 In the case of small/very small operators (see paragraph 7.3 below), the posts of the Accountable Manager and the Quality Manager may be combined. However, in this event, quality audits should be conducted by independent personnel. In accordance with paragraph 2.4.4.b above, it will not be possible for the Accountable Manager to be one of the nominated postholders.
3 Quality System
3.1 Introduction
3.1.1 The operator’s Quality System should ensure compliance with and adequacy of operational and maintenance activities requirements, standards and operational procedures.
3.1.2 The operator should specify the basic structure of the Quality System applicable to the operation.
3.1.3 The Quality System should be structured according to the size and complexity of the operation to be monitored (‘small operators’ see also paragraph 7 below).
3.2 Scope
3.2.1 As a minimum, the Quality System should address the following:
a. The provisions of JAR-OPS;
b. The operator’s additional standards and operating procedures;
c. The operator’s Quality Policy;

4 Quality Assurance Programme (See JAR-OPS 1.035(b).)
4.1 Introduction
4.1.1 The Quality Assurance Programme should include all planned and systematic actions necessary to provide confidence that all operations and maintenance are conducted in accordance with all applicable requirements, standards and operational procedures.
4.1.2 When establishing a Quality Assurance Programme, consideration should, at least, be given to the paragraphs 4.2 to 4.9 below:
4.2 Quality Inspection
4.2.1 The primary purpose of a quality inspection is to observe a particular event/action/document etc., in order to verify whether established operational procedures and requirements are followed during the accomplishment of that event and whether the required standard is achieved.
4.2.2 Typical subject areas for quality inspections are:
a. Actual flight operations;
b. Ground De-icing/Anti-icing;
c. Flight Support Services;
d. Load Control;
e. Maintenance;
f. Technical Standards; and
g. Training Standards.
4.3 Audit
4.3.1 An audit is a systematic, and independent comparison of the way in which an operation is being conducted against the way in which the published operational procedures say it should be conducted.
4.3.2 Audits should include at least the following quality procedures and processes:
a. A statement explaining the scope of the audit;
b. Planning and preparation;
c. Gathering and recording evidence; and
d. Analysis of the evidence.
4.3.3 Techniques which contribute to an effective audit are:
a. Interviews or discussions with personnel;
b. A review of published documents;
c. The examination of an adequate sample of records;
d. The witnessing of the activities which make up the operation; and
e. The preservation of documents and the recording of observations.
4.4 Auditors
4.4.1 An operator should decide, depending on the complexity of the operation, whether to make use of a dedicated audit team or a single auditor. In any event, the auditor or audit team should have relevant operational and/or maintenance experience.
Amendment 7 2-B-6 01.09.04
SECTION 2 JAR-OPS 1 Subpart B AMC OPS 1.035 (continued)
4.4.2 The responsibilities of the auditors should be clearly defined in the relevant documentation.
4.5 Auditor’s Independence
4.5.1 Auditors should not have any day-to-day involvement in the area of the operation and/or maintenance activity which is to be audited. An operator may, in addition to using the services of full-time dedicated personnel belonging to a separate quality department, undertake the monitoring of specific areas or activities by the use of part-time auditors. An operator whose structure and size does not justify the establishment of full-time auditors, may undertake the audit function by the use of part-time personnel from within his own organisation or from an external source under the terms of an agreement acceptable to the Authority. In all cases the operator should develop suitable procedures to ensure that persons directly responsible for the activities to be audited are not selected as part of the auditing team. Where external auditors are used, it is essential that any external specialist is familiar with the type of operation and/or maintenance conducted by the operator.
4.5.2 The operator’s Quality Assurance Programme should identify the persons within the company who have the experience, responsibility and authority to:
a. Perform quality inspections and audits as part of ongoing Quality Assurance;
b. Identify and record any concerns or findings, and the evidence necessary to substantiate such concerns or findings;
c. Initiate or recommend solutions to concerns or findings through designated reporting channels;
d. Verify the implementation of solutions within specific timescales;
e. Report directly to the Quality Manager.
4.6 Audit Scope
4.6.1 Operators are required to monitor compliance with the operational procedures they have designed to ensure safe operations, airworthy aircraft and the serviceability of both operational and safety equipment. In doing so they should as a minimum, and where appropriate, monitor:
a. Organisation;
b. Plans and Company objectives;
c. Operational Procedures;
d. Flight Safety;
e. Operator certification (AOC/Operations specification);
f. Supervision;
g. Aircraft Performance;
h. All Weather Operations;
i. Communications and Navigational Equipment and Practices;
j. Mass, Balance and Aircraft Loading;
k. Instruments and Safety Equipment;
l. Manuals, Logs, and Records;
m. Flight and Duty Time Limitations, Rest Requirements, and Scheduling;
n. Aircraft Maintenance/Operations interface;
o. Use of the MEL;
p. Maintenance Programmes and Continued Airworthiness;
q. Airworthiness Directives management;
r. Maintenance Accomplishment;
s. Defect Deferral;

AMC OPS 1.035 (continued)
t. Flight Crew;
u. Cabin Crew;
v. Dangerous Goods;
w. Security;
x. Training.
4.7 Audit Scheduling
4.7.1 A Quality Assurance Programme should include a defined audit schedule and a periodic review cycle area by area. The schedule should be flexible, and allow unscheduled audits when trends are identified. Follow-up audits should be scheduled when necessary to verify that corrective action was carried out and that it was effective.
4.7.2 An operator should establish a schedule of audits to be completed during a specified calendar period. All aspects of the operation should be reviewed within every period of 12 months in accordance with the programme unless an extension to the audit period is accepted as explained below. An operator may increase the frequency of audits at his discretion but should not decrease the frequency without the agreement of the Authority. It is considered unlikely that an interval between audits greater than 24 months would be acceptable for any audit topic.
4.7.3 When an operator defines the audit schedule, significant changes to the management, organisation, operation, or technologies should be considered as well as changes to the regulatory requirements.
4.8 Monitoring and Corrective Action
4.8.1 The aim of monitoring within the Quality System is primarily to investigate and judge its effectiveness and thereby to ensure that defined policy, operational, and maintenance standards are continuously complied with. Monitoring activity is based upon quality inspections, audits, corrective action and follow-up. The operator should establish and publish a quality procedure to monitor regulatory compliance on a continuing basis. This monitoring activity should be aimed at eliminating the causes of unsatisfactory performance.
4.8.2 Any non-compliance identified as a result of monitoring should be communicated to the manager responsible for taking corrective action or, if appropriate, the Accountable Manager. Such non-compliance should be recorded, for the purpose of further investigation, in order to determine the cause and to enable the recommendation of appropriate corrective action.
4.8.3 The Quality Assurance Programme should include procedures to ensure that corrective actions are taken in response to findings. These quality procedures should monitor such actions to verify their effectiveness and that they have been completed. Organisational responsibility and accountability for the implementation of corrective action resides with the department cited in the report identifying the finding. The Accountable Manager will have the ultimate responsibility for resourcing the corrective action and ensuring, through the Quality Manager, that the corrective action has re-established compliance with the standard required by the Authority, and any additional requirements defined by the operator.
4.8.4 Corrective action
a. Subsequent to the quality inspection/audit, the operator should establish:
i. The seriousness of any findings and any need for immediate corrective action;
ii. The origin of the finding;
iii. What corrective actions are required to ensure that the non-compliance does not recur;
iv. A schedule for corrective action;
v. The identification of individuals or departments responsible for implementing corrective action;
vi. Allocation of resources by the Accountable Manager, where appropriate.
Amendment 7 2-B-8 01.09.04
SECTION 2 JAR-OPS 1 Subpart B AMC OPS 1.035 (continued)
4.8.5 The Quality Manager should:
a. Verify that corrective action is taken by the manager responsible in response to any finding of non-compliance;
b. Verify that corrective action includes the elements outlined in paragraph 4.8.4 above;
c. Monitor the implementation and completion of corrective action;
d. Provide management with an independent assessment of corrective action, implementation and completion;
e. Evaluate the effectiveness of corrective action through the follow-up process.
4.9 Management Evaluation
4.9.1 A management evaluation is a comprehensive, systematic, documented review by the management of the quality system, operational policies and procedures, and should consider:
a. The results of quality inspections, audits and any other indicators;
b. The overall effectiveness of the management organisation in achieving stated objectives.
4.9.2 A management evaluation should identify and correct trends, and prevent, where possible, future non-conformities. Conclusions and recommendations made as a result of an evaluation should be submitted in writing to the responsible manager for action. The responsible manager should be an individual who has the authority to resolve issues and take action.
4.9.3 The Accountable Manager should decide upon the frequency, format, and structure of internal management evaluation activities.
4.10 Recording
4.10.1 Accurate, complete, and readily accessible records documenting the results of the Quality Assurance Programme should be maintained by the operator. Records are essential data to enable an operator to analyse and determine the root causes of non-conformity, so that areas of non-compliance can be identified and addressed.
4.10.2 The following records should be retained for a period of 5 years:
a. Audit Schedules;
b. Quality inspection and Audit reports;
c. Responses to findings;
d. Corrective action reports;
e. Follow-up and closure reports; and
f. Management Evaluation reports.
5 Quality Assurance Responsibility for Sub-Contractors
5.1 Sub-Contractors
5.1.1 Operators may decide to sub-contract out certain activities to external agencies for the provision of services related to areas such as:
a. Ground De-icing/Anti-icing;
b. Maintenance;
c. Ground handling;
d. Flight Support (including Performance calculations, flight planning, navigation database and despatch);
e. Training;
f. Manual preparation.
01.09.04 2-B-9 Amendment 7
JAR-OPS 1 Subpart B SECTION 2
AMC OPS 1.035 (continued)
5.1.2 The ultimate responsibility for the product or service provided by the sub-contractor always remains with the operator. A written agreement should exist between the operator and the sub-contractor clearly defining the safety related services and quality to be provided. The sub-contractor’s safety related activities relevant to the agreement should be included in the operator’s Quality Assurance Programme.
5.1.3 The operator should ensure that the sub-contractor has the necessary authorisation/approval when required and commands the resources and competence to undertake the task. If the operator requires the sub-contractor to conduct activity which exceeds the sub-contractor’s authorisation/approval, the operator is responsible for ensuring that the sub-contractor’s quality assurance takes account of such additional requirements.
6 Quality System Training
6.1 General
6.1.1 An operator should establish effective, well planned and resourced quality related briefing for all personnel.
6.1.2 Those responsible for managing the Quality System should receive training covering:
a. An introduction to the concept of the Quality System;
b. Quality management;
c. The concept of Quality Assurance;
d. Quality manuals;
e. Audit techniques;
f. Reporting and recording; and
g. The way in which the Quality System will function in the company.
6.1.3 Time should be provided to train every individual involved in quality management and for briefing the remainder of the employees. The allocation of time and resources should be governed by the size and complexity of the operation concerned.
6.2 Sources of Training
6.2.1 Quality management courses are available from the various National or International Standards Institutions, and an operator should consider whether to offer such courses to those likely to be involved in the management of Quality Systems. Operators with sufficient appropriately qualified staff should consider whether to carry out in-house training.
7 Organisations with 20 or less full time employees
7.1 Introduction
The requirement to establish and document a Quality System, and to employ a Quality Manager applies to all operators. References to large and small operators elsewhere in the requirements are governed by aircraft capacity (i.e more or less than 20 seats) and by mass (greater or less than 10 tonnes Maximum Take-Off Mass). Such terminology is not relevant when considering the scale of an operation and the Quality System required. In the context of quality systems therefore, operators should be categorised according to the number of full time staff employees.
7.2 Scale of Operation
7.2.1 Operators who employ 5 or less full time staff are considered to be ‘very small’ while those employing between 6 and 20 full time employees are regarded as ‘small’ operators as far as quality systems are concerned. Full-time in this context means employed for not less than 35 hours per week excluding vacation periods.
7.2.2 Complex quality systems could be inappropriate for small or very small operators and the clerical effort required to draw up manuals and quality procedures for a complex system may stretch their resources. It is therefore accepted that such operators should tailor their quality systems to suit the size and complexity of their operation and allocate resources accordingly.
Amendment 7 2-B-10 01.09.04
SECTION 2 JAR-OPS 1 Subpart B AMC OPS 1.035 (continued)
7.3 Quality Systems for small/very small Operators
7.3.1 For small and very small operators it may be appropriate to develop a Quality Assurance Programme that employs a checklist. The checklist should have a supporting schedule that requires completion of all checklist items within a specified timescale, together with a statement acknowledging completion of a periodic review by top management. An occasional independent overview of the checklist content and achievement of the Quality Assurance should be undertaken.
7.3.2 The ‘small’ operator may decide to use internal or external auditors or a combination of the two. In these circumstances it would be acceptable for external specialists and or qualified organisations to perform the quality audits on behalf of the Quality Manager.
7.3.3 If the independent quality audit function is being conducted by external auditors, the audit schedule should be shown in the relevant documentation.
7.3.4 Whatever arrangements are made, the operator retains the ultimate responsibility for the quality system and especially the completion and follow-up of corrective actions.

ACJ OPS 1.037(a)(2) Occurrence Reporting Scheme See JAR-OPS 1.037(a)(2)
1. The overall objective of the scheme described in JAR-OPS 1.037(a)(2) is to use reported information to improve the level of flight safety and not to attribute blame.
2. The detailed objectives of the scheme are:
a. To enable an assessment of the safety implications of each relevant incident and accident to be made, including previous similar occurrences, so that any necessary action can be initiated; and
b. To ensure that knowledge of relevant incidents and accidents is disseminated so that other persons and organisations may learn from them.
3. The scheme is an essential part of the overall monitoring function; it is complementary to the normal day to day procedures and ‘control’ systems and is not intended to duplicate or supersede any of them. The scheme is a tool to identify those occasions where routine procedures have failed. (Occurrences that have to be reported and responsibilities for submitting reports are described in JAR-OPS 1.420.)
Amendment 7 2-B-12 01.09.04
SECTION 2 JAR-OPS 1 Subpart B ACJ OPS 1.037(a)(2) (continued)
4. Occurrences should remain in the database when judged reportable by the person submitting the report as the significance of such reports may only become obvious at a later date.
[Amdt. 3, 01.12.01]
[ACJ OPS 1.037(a)(4) Flight Data Monitoring Programme See JAR-OPS 1.037(a)(4)
1. Flight Data Monitoring (FDM) is the pro-active and non-punitive use of digital flight data from routine operations to improve aviation safety.
2. The manager of the accident prevention and flight safety programme, which includes the FDM programme, is accountable for the discovery of issues and the transmission of these to the relevant manager(s) responsible for the process(es) concerned. The latter are accountable for taking appropriate and practicable safety action within a reasonable period of time that reflects the severity of the issue. Note: While an operator may contract the operation of a flight data analysis programme to another party the overall responsibility remains with the operator’s accident prevention and flight safety programme manager.
3. An FDM programme will allow an operator to:
3.1 Identify areas of operational risk and quantify current safety margins.
3.2 Identify and quantify operational risks by highlighting when non-standard, unusual or unsafe circumstances occur.
3.3 Use the FDM information on the frequency of occurrence, combined with an estimation of the level of severity, to assess the safety risks and to determine which may become unacceptable if the discovered trend continues.
3.4 Put in place appropriate procedures for remedial action once an unacceptable risk, either actually present or predicted by trending, has been identified.
3.5 Confirm the effectiveness of any remedial action by continued monitoring.
4. Flight Data Monitoring Analysis Techniques:
4.1 Exceedence Detection: This looks for deviations from flight manual limits, and standard operating procedures. A set of core events should be selected to cover the main areas of interest to the operator. A sample list is in the Appendix. The event detection limits should be continuously reviewed to reflect the operator’s current operating procedures.
4.2 All Flights Measurement: A system that defines what is normal practice. This may be accomplished by retaining various snapshots of information from each flight.
4.3 Statistics: A series of measures collected to support the analysis process. These would be expected to include the numbers of flights flown and analysed, aircraft and sector details sufficient to generate rate and trend information.
5. Flight Data Monitoring Analysis, Assessment and Process Control Tools: The effective assessment of information obtained from digital flight data is dependant on the provision of appropriate information technology tool sets. A program suite may include: Annotated data trace displays, engineering unit listings, visualisation for the most significant incidents, access to interpretative material, links to other safety information, and statistical presentations.
6. Education and Publication: Sharing safety information is a fundamental principle of aviation safety in helping to reduce accident rates The operator should pass on the lessons learnt to all relevant personnel and, where appropriate, industry. Similar media to air safety systems may be used. These may include: Newsletters, flight safety magazines, highlighting examples in training and simulator exercises, periodic reports to industry and the regulatory authority.
7. Accident and incident data requirements specified in JAR-OPS 1.160 take precedence over the requirements of an FDM programme. In these cases the FDR data should be retained as part of the investigation data and may fall outside the de-identification agreements. ]
01.09.04 2-B-13 Amendment 7
JAR-OPS 1 Subpart B SECTION 2
ACJ OPS 1.037(a)(4) (continued)
[ 8. Every crew member has a responsibility to report events described in JAR-OPS 1.085(b) using the company occurrence reporting scheme detailed in JAR-OPS 1.037(a)(2). Mandatory Occurrence Reporting is a requirement under JAR-OPS 1.420. Significant risk-bearing incidents detected by FDM will therefore normally be the subject of mandatory occurrence reporting by the crew. If this is not the case then they should submit a retrospective report that will be included under the normal accident prevention and flight safety process without prejudice.
9. The data recovery strategy should ensure a sufficiently representative capture of flight information to maintain an overview of operations. Data analysis should be performed sufficiently frequently to enable action to be taken on significant safety issues.
10. The data retention strategy should aim to provide the greatest safety benefits practicable from the available data. A full data set should be retained until the action and review processes are complete; thereafter, a reduced data set relating to closed issues can be maintained for longer term trend analysis. Programme managers may wish to retain samples of de-identified full-flight data for various safety purposes (detailed analysis, training, benchmarking etc.).
11. Data Access and Security policy should restrict information access to authorised persons. When data access is required for airworthiness and maintenance purposes, a procedure should be in place to prevent disclosure of crew identity.
12. Procedure Document; this document signed by all parties (airline management, flight crew member representatives nominated either by the union or the flight crew themselves ) will, as a minimum, define:
a) The aim of the FDM programme.
b) A data access and security policy that should restrict access to information to specifically authorised persons identified by their position.
c) The method to obtain de-identified crew feedback on those occasions that require specific flight follow-up for contextual information; where such crew contact is required the authorised person(s) need not necessarily be the programme manager, or safety manager, but could be a third party (broker) mutually acceptable to unions or staff and management.
d) The data retention policy and accountability including the measures taken to ensure the security of the data.
e) The conditions under which, on rare occasions, advisory briefing or remedial training should take place; this should always be carried out in a constructive and non-punitive manner.
f) The conditions under which the confidentiality may be withdrawn for reasons of gross negligence or significant continuing safety concern.
g) The participation of flight crew member representative(s) in the assessment of the data, the action and review process and the consideration of recommendations.
h) The policy for publishing the findings resulting from FDM.
13. Airborne systems and equipment used to obtain FDM data will range from an already installed full Quick Access Recorder, in a modern aircraft with digital systems, to a basic crash protected recorder in an older or less sophisticated aircraft. The analysis potential of the reduced data set available in the latter case may reduce the safety benefits obtainable. The operator shall ensure that FDM use does not adversely affect the serviceability of equipment required for accident investigation.]

1 There is no internationally agreed definition of weapons of war and munitions of war. Some States may have defined them for their particular purposes or for national need.
2 It should be the responsibility of the operator to check, with the State(s) concerned, whether or not a particular weapon or munition is regarded as a weapon of war or munition of war. In this context, States which may be concerned with granting approvals for the carriage of weapons of war or munitions of war are those of origin, transit, overflight and destination of the consignment and the State of the operator.
3 Where weapons of war or munitions of war are also dangerous goods by definition (e.g. torpedoes, bombs, etc.), Subpart R will also apply. (See also IEM OPS 1.070.)
[Ch. 1, 01.03.98]
IEM OPS 1.070 Carriage of sporting weapons See JAR-OPS 1.070
1 There is no internationally agreed definition of sporting weapons. In general they may be any weapon which is not a weapon of war or munition of war (See IEM OPS 1.065). Sporting weapons include hunting knives, bows and other similar articles. An antique weapon, which at one time may have been a weapon of war or munition of war, such as a musket, may now be regarded as a sporting weapon.
2 A firearm is any gun, rifle or pistol which fires a projectile.
3 In the absence of a specific definition, for the purpose of JAR-OPS and in order to provide some guidance to operators, the following firearms are generally regarded as being sporting weapons:
a. Those designed for shooting game, birds and other animals;
b. Those used for target shooting, clay-pigeon shooting and competition shooting, providing the weapons are not those on standard issue to military forces;
c. Airguns, dart guns, starting pistols, etc.
4 A firearm, which is not a weapon of war or munition of war, should be treated as a sporting weapon for the purposes of its carriage on an aeroplane.
5 Other procedures for the carriage of sporting weapons may need to be considered if the aeroplane does not have a separate compartment in which the weapons can be stowed. These procedures should take into account the nature of the flight, its origin and destination, and the possibility of unlawful interference. As far as possible, the weapons should be stowed so they are not immediately accessible to the passengers (e.g. in locked boxes, in checked baggage which is stowed under other baggage or under fixed netting). If procedures other than those in JAR-OPS 1.070(b)(1) are applied, the commander should be notified accordingly.

Amendment 3 2-C-1 01.12.01
IEM OPS 1.175 The management organisation of an AOC holder See JAR-OPS 1.175(g)-(o)
1 Function and Purpose
1.1 The safe conduct of air operations is achieved by an operator and an Authority working in harmony towards a common aim. The functions of the two bodies are different, well defined, but complementary. In essence, the operator complies with the standards set through putting in place a sound and competent management structure. The Authority working within a framework of law (statutes), sets and monitors the standards expected from operators.
2 Responsibilities of Management
2.1 The responsibilities of management related to JAR-OPS Part 1 should include at least the following five main functions:
a. Determination of the operator’s flight safety policy;
b. Allocation of responsibilities and duties and issuing instructions to individuals, sufficient for implementation of company policy and the maintenance of safety standards;
c. Monitoring of flight safety standards;
d. Recording and analysis of any deviations from company standards and ensuring corrective action;
e. Evaluating the safety record of the company in order to avoid the development of undesirable trends.
IEM OPS 1.175(c)(2) Principal place of business See JAR-OPS 1.175(c)(2)
1 JAR-OPS 1.175(c)(2) requires an operator to have his principal place of business located in the State responsible for issuing the AOC.
2 In order to ensure proper jurisdiction by that State over the operator, the term ‘principal place of business’ is interpreted as meaning the State in which the administrative headquarters and the operator’s financial, operational and maintenance management are based.

Nominated Postholders should, in the normal way, be expected to satisfy the Authority that they possess the appropriate experience and licensing requirements which are listed in paragraphs 2 to 6 below. In particular cases, and exceptionally, the Authority may accept a nomination which does not meet the requirements in full but, in this circumstance, the nominee should be able to demonstrate experience which the Authority will accept as being comparable and also the ability to perform effectively the functions associated with the post and with the scale of the operation.
2. Nominated postholders should have:
2.1 Practical experience and expertise in the application of aviation safety standards and safe operating practices;
2.2 Comprehensive knowledge of:
a. JAR-OPS and any associated requirements and procedures;
b. The AOC holder's Operations Specifications; ]

2.3 Familiarity with Quality Systems;
2.4 Appropriate management experience in a comparable organisation; and
2.5 Five years relevant work experience of which at least two years should be from the aeronautical industry in an appropriate position.
3. Flight Operations. The nominated postholder or his deputy should hold a valid Flight Crew Licence appropriate to the type of operation conducted under the AOC in accordance with the following:
3.1 If the AOC includes aeroplanes certificated for a minimum crew of 2 pilots - An Airline Transport Pilot's Licence issued or validated by a JAA Member State:
3.2 If the AOC is limited to aeroplanes certificated for a minimum crew of 1 pilot - A Commercial Pilot's Licence, and if appropriate to the operation, an Instrument Rating issued or validated by a JAA Member State.
4. Maintenance System. The nominated postholder should possess the following:
4.1 Relevant engineering degree, or aircraft maintenance technician with additional education acceptable to the Authority. ‘Relevant engineering degree’ means an engineering degree from Aeronautical, Mechanical, Electrical, Electronic, Avionic or other studies relevant to the maintenance of aircraft/aircraft components.
4.2 Thorough familiarity with the organisation's Maintenance Management Exposition.
4.3 Knowledge of the relevant type(s) of aircraft.
4.4 Knowledge of maintenance methods.
5. Crew Training. The nominated postholder or his deputy should be a current Type Rating Instructor on a type/class operated under the AOC.
5.1 The nominated Postholder should have a thorough knowledge of the AOC holder’s crew training concept for Flight Crew and for Cabin Crew when relevant.
6. Ground Operations. The nominated postholder should have a thorough knowledge of the AOC holder’s ground operations concept. ]
[Amdt. 3, 01.12.01]
[ACJ OPS 1.175(j) Combination of nominated postholder’s responsibilities See JAR-OPS 1.175(j)
1. The acceptability of a single person holding several posts, possibly in combination with being the accountable manager as well, will depend upon the nature and scale of the operation. The two main areas of concern are competence and an individual’s capacity to meet his responsibilities.
2. As regards competence in the different areas of responsibility, there should not be any difference from the requirements applicable to persons holding only one post.
3. The capacity of an individual to meet his responsibilities will primarily be dependent upon the scale of the operation. However the complexity of the organisation or of the operation may prevent, or limit, combinations of posts which may be acceptable in other circumstances.
4. In most circumstances, the responsibilities of a nominated postholder will rest with a single individual. However, in the area of ground operations, it may be acceptable for these responsibilities to be split, provided that the responsibilities of each individual concerned are clearly defined. ]

Operation of non-ETOPS compliant twin turbojet aeroplanes between 120 and 180 minutes from an
adequate aerodrome
See JAR-OPS 1.245(a)(2)
1. As prescribed in JAR-OPS 1.245(a)(2), an operator may not operate a twin turbo-jet powered
aeroplane having a maximum approved passenger seating configuration of 19 or less and a MTOM less
than 45 360 kg beyond 120 minutes from an adequate aerodrome at the one engine inoperative cruise
speed calculated in accordance with JAR-OPS 1.245(b) unless approved by the Authority. This 120 minute
threshold may be exceeded by no more than 60 minutes. In order for operations between 120 and 180
minutes to be approved, due account should be taken of the aeroplane’s design and capabilities (as
outlined below) and an operator’s experience related to such operations. An operator should ensure that the
following items are addressed. Where necessary, information should be included in the Operations Manual
and the Operator’s Maintenance Management Exposition.
Note: Mention of “the aeroplane’s design” in paragraph 1 above does not imply any additional Type Design Approval
requirements (beyond the applicable original Type Certification requirements) before the Authority will permit operations
beyond the 120 minute threshold.
2. Systems capability - Aeroplanes should be certificated to JAR-25 as appropriate (or equivalent).
With respect to the capability of the aeroplane systems, the objective is that the aeroplane is capable of a
safe diversion from the maximum diversion distance with particular emphasis on operations with one engine
inoperative or with degraded system capability. To this end, the operator should give consideration to the

SECTION 2 JAR-OPS 1 Subpart D
Amendment 7 2-D-5 01.09.04
a. Propulsion systems - The aeroplane power plant should meet the applicable requirements
prescribed in JAR 25 and JAR E or equivalents, concerning engine type certification, installation and system
operation. In addition to the performance standards established by the Authority at the time of engine
certification, the engines should comply with all subsequent mandatory safety standards specified by the
Authority, including those necessary to maintain an acceptable level of reliability. In addition, consideration
should be given to the effects of extended duration single engine operation (e.g. the effects of higher power
demands such as bleed and electrical).
b. Airframe systems - With respect to electrical power, three or more reliable (as defined by JAR-25 or
equivalent) and independent electrical power sources should be available, each of which should be capable
of providing power for all essential services (See Appendix 1). For single engine operations, the remaining
power (electrical, hydraulic, pneumatic) should continue to be available at levels necessary to permit
continued safe flight and landing, and to provide those services necessary for the overall safety of the
passengers and crew. As a minimum, following the failure of any two of the three electrical power sources,
the remaining source should be capable of providing power for all of the items necessary for the duration of
any diversion. If one or more of the required electrical power sources are provided by an APU, hydraulic
system or Air Driven Generator/Ram Air Turbine (ADG/RAT), the following criteria should apply as
appropriate:
i. To ensure hydraulic power (Hydraulic Motor Generator) reliability, it may be necessary to provide
two or more independent energy sources.
ii. The ADG/RAT, if fitted, should not require engine dependent power for deployment.
iii. The APU should meet the criteria in sub-paragraph c below.
c. APU - The APU, if required for extended range operations, should be Certificated as an essential
APU and should meet the applicable JAR-25 provisions (Subpart J-APU parts A and B, or equivalent).
d. Fuel supply system - Consideration should include the capability of the fuel supply system to
provide sufficient fuel for the entire diversion taking account of aspects such as fuel boost and fuel transfer.
3. Powerplant Events and corrective action.
a. All powerplant events and operating hours should be reported by the operator to the Airframe and
Engine manufacturers as well as to the Authority in the State of the operator.
b. These events should be evaluated by the operator in consultation with his Authority and with the
engine and airframe manufacturers. The National Aviation Authority may consult with the type design
authority to ensure that world wide data is evaluated.
c. Where statistical assessment alone may not be applicable eg where the fleet size or accumulated
flight hours are small, individual powerplant events should be reviewed on a case by case basis.
d. The evaluation or statistical assessment, when available, may result in corrective action or the
application of operational restrictions.
Note: Powerplant events could include engine shut downs, both on ground and inflight, (excluding normal
training events) including flameout, occurrences where the intended thrust level was not achieved or where
crew action was taken to reduce thrust below the normal level for whatever reason, and unscheduled
removals.
4. Maintenance: The operator’s maintenance requirements should address the following:
a. Release to service - A pre-departure check, additional to the pre-flight inspection required by JAR-
OPS 1.890(a)(1) should be reflected in the Operator’s Maintenance Management Exposition. These checks
should be conducted and certified by an organisation appropriately approved/accepted in accordance with
JAR-145 or by an appropriately trained flight crew member prior to an extended range flight to ensure that
all maintenance actions are complete and all fluid levels are at prescribed levels for the flight duration.
b. Engine oil consumption programmes - Such programmes are intended to support engine condition
trend monitoring (see below).
c. Engine condition trend monitoring programme - A programme for each powerplant that monitors
engine performance parameters and trends of degradation that provides for maintenance actions to be
undertaken prior to significant performance loss or mechanical failure.
AMC OPS 1.245(a)(2) (continued)
JAR-OPS 1 Subpart D SECTION 2
01.09.04 2-D-6 Amendment 7
d. Arrangements to ensure that all corrective actions required by the type design authority are
implemented.
5. Flight Crew Training: Flight crew training for this type of operation should include, in addition to the
requirements of JAR-OPS 1 Sub part N, particular emphasis on the following:
a. Fuel management - Verifying required fuel on board prior to departure and monitoring fuel on board
en-route including calculation of fuel remaining. Procedures should provide for an independent cross-check
of fuel quantity indicators (e.g. fuel flow used to calculate fuel burned compared to indicated fuel remaining).
Confirmation that the fuel remaining is sufficient to satisfy the critical fuel reserves.
b. Procedures for single and multiple failures in flight that may give rise to go/no-go and diversion
decisions - Policy and guidelines to aid the flight crew in the diversion decision making process and the
need for constant awareness of the closest suitable alternate aerodrome in terms of time.
c. One-engine inoperative performance data - Drift down procedures and one-engine inoperative
service ceiling data.
d. Weather reports and flight requirements - METAR and TAF reports and obtaining in flight weather
updates on en-route alternate, destination and destination alternate aerodromes. Consideration should also
be given to forecast winds (including the accuracy of the forecast compared to actual wind experienced
during flight) and meteorological conditions along the expected flight path at the one-engine inoperative
cruising altitude and throughout the approach and landing.
e. Pre-departure check - Flight crew members who are responsible for the pre-departure check of an
aeroplane (see paragraph 3.a above), should be fully trained and competent to do so. The training
programme required, which should be approved by the Authority, should cover all relevant maintenance
actions with particular emphasis on checking required fluid levels.
6 MEL - The MEL should take into account all items specified by the manufacturer relevant to
operations in accordance with this AMC.
7. Dispatch/Flight Planning Requirements: The operator’s dispatch requirements should address the
following:
a. Fuel and oil supply - An aeroplane should not be dispatched on an extended range flight unless it
carries sufficient fuel and oil to comply with the applicable operational requirements and any additional
reserves determined in accordance with sub-paragraphs (a)(i), (ii) and (iii) below.
(i) Critical fuel scenario - The critical point is the furthest point from an alternate aerodrome assuming
a simultaneous failure of an engine and the pressurisation system. For those aeroplanes that are type
certificated to operate above Flight Level 450, the critical point is the furthest point from an alternate
aerodrome assuming an engine failure. The operator should carry additional fuel for the worst case fuel
burn condition (one engine vs two engines operating), if this is greater than the additional fuel calculated in
accordance with AMC OPS 1.255 1.6 a and b, as follows:
A. Fly from the critical point to an alternate aerodrome:
- At 10 000ft; or
- At 25 000ft or the single-engine ceiling, whichever is lower, provided that all occupants can be
supplied with and use supplemental oxygen for the time required to fly from the critical point to an alternate
aerodrome; or
- At the single-engine ceiling, provided that the aeroplane is type certificated to operate above Flight
Level 450.
B. Descend and hold at 1 500 feet for 15 minutes in ISA conditions;
C. Descend to the applicable MDA/DH followed by a missed approach (taking into account the
complete missed approach procedure); followed by
D. A normal approach and landing.
(ii) Ice protection - Additional fuel used when operating in icing conditions (e.g. operation of ice
protection systems (engine/airframe as applicable)) and, when manufacturer’s data is available, take
AMC OPS 1.245(a)(2) (continued)
SECTION 2 JAR-OPS 1 Subpart D
Amendment 7 2-D-7 01.09.04
account of ice accumulation on unprotected surfaces if icing conditions are likely to be encountered during a
diversion;
(iii) APU operation - If an APU has to be used to provide additional electrical power, consideration
should be given to the additional fuel required.
b. Communication facilities - The availability of communications facilities in order to allow reliable two-
way voice communications between the aeroplane and the appropriate air traffic control unit at one-engine
inoperative cruise altitudes.
c. Aircraft Technical Log review to ensure proper MEL procedures, deferred items, and required
maintenance checks completed.
d. En-route alternate aerodrome(s) - Ensuring that en-route alternate aerodromes are available for the
intended route, within 180 minutes based upon the one-engine inoperative cruise speed which is a speed
within the certificated limits of the aeroplane, selected by the operator and approved by the regulatory
authority, and confirmation that, based on the available meteorological information, the weather conditions
at en-route alternate aerodromes are at or above the applicable minima for the period of time during which
the aerodrome(s) may be used. (See also JAR-OPS 1.297).

2.1 Minimum obstacle clearance altitude (MOCA). MOCA is the sum of:
i. The maximum terrain or obstacle elevation whichever is highest; plus
ii. 1 000 ft for elevation up to and including 6 000 ft; or
iii 2 000 ft for elevation exceeding 6 000 ft rounded up to the next 100 ft.
2.1.1 The lowest MOCA to be indicated is 2 000 ft.
2.1.2 From a VOR station, the corridor width is defined as a borderline starting 5 nm either side of the
VOR, diverging 4° from centreline until a width of 20 nm is reached at 70 nm out, thence paralleling the
AMC OPS 1.245(a)(2) (continued)

centreline until 140 nm out, thence again diverging 4° until a maximum width of 40 nm is reached at 280 nm
out. Thereafter the width remains constant (see figure 1).
2.1.3 From an NDB, similarly, the corridor width is defined as a borderline starting 5 nm either side of the
NDB diverging 7° until a width of 20 nm is reached 40 nm out, thence paralleling the centreline until 80 nm
out, thence again diverging 7° until a maximum width of 60 nm is reached 245 nm out. Thereafter the width
remains constant (see figure 2).
2.1.4 MOCA does not cover any overlapping of the corridor.
2.2 Minimum off-route altitude (MORA). MORA is calculated for an area bounded by every or every

on a terrain clearance as follows:
i. Terrain with elevation up to 6 000 ft (2 000 m) – 1 000 ft above the highest terrain and obstructions;
ii. Terrain with elevation above 6 000 ft (2 000 m) – 2 000 ft above the highest terrain and

3 Jeppesen Formula (see figure 3)
3.1 MORA is a minimum flight altitude computed by Jeppesen from current ONC or WAC charts. Two
types of MORAs are charted which are:
i. Route MORAs e.g. 9800a; and
ii. Grid MORAs e.g. 98.
3.2 Route MORA values are computed on the basis of an area extending 10 nm to either side of route
centreline and including a 10 nm radius beyond the radio fix/reporting point or mileage break defining the
route segment.
3.3 MORA values clear all terrain and man-made obstacles by 1 000 ft in areas where the highest
terrain elevation or obstacles are up to 5 000 ft. A clearance of 2 000 ft is provided above all terrain or
obstacles which are 5 001 ft and above.
3.4 A Grid MORA is an altitude computed by Jeppesen and the values are shown within each Grid
formed by charted lines of latitude and longitude. Figures are shown in thousands and hundreds of feet
(omitting the last two digits so as to avoid chart congestion). Values followed by ± are believed not to
exceed the altitudes shown. The same clearance criteria as explained in paragraph 3.3 above apply.

4.1 Minimum safe En-route Altitude (MEA). Calculation of the MEA is based on the elevation of the
highest point along the route segment concerned (extending from navigational aid to navigational aid) within
a distance on either side of track as specified below:
i. Segment length up to 100 nm – 10 nm (See Note 1 below).
ii. Segment length more than 100 nm – 10% of the segment length up to a maximum of
60 nm See Note 2 below).
NOTE 1: This distance may be reduced to 5 nm within TMAs where, due to the number and type of available navigational aids, a high
degree of navigational accuracy is warranted.
NOTE 2: In exceptional cases, where this calculation results in an operationally impracticable value, an additional special MEA may be
calculated based on a distance of not less than 10 nm either side of track. Such special MEA will be shown together with an indication of
the actual width of protected airspace.
4.2 The MEA is calculated by adding an increment to the elevation specified above as appropriate:
Elevation of highest point Increment
Not above 5 000 ft 1 500 ft
Above 5 000 ft but not above 10 000 ft 2 000 ft
Above 10 000 ft 10% of elevation plus 1 000 ft
NOTE: For the last route segment ending over the initial approach fix, a reduction to 1 000 ft is permissible within TMAs where, due to
the number and type of available navigation aids, a high degree of navigational accuracy is warranted.
The resulting value is adjusted to the nearest 100 ft.

Fuel Policy
See JAR-OPS 1.255
An operator should base the company fuel policy, including calculation of the amount of fuel to becarried,
on the following planning criteria:
1 The amount of:
1.1 Taxy fuel, which should not be less than the amount, expected to be used prior to take-off. Local
conditions at the departure aerodrome and APU consumption should be taken into account.
1.2 Trip fuel, which should include:
a. Fuel for take-off and climb from aerodrome elevation to initial cruising level/altitude, taking into
account the expected departure routing;
b. Fuel from top of climb to top of descent, including any step climb/descent;
c. Fuel from top of descent to the point where the approach is initiated, taking into account the
expected arrival procedure; and
d. Fuel for approach and landing at the destination aerodrome.
1.3 Contingency fuel, which should be the higher of (a) or (b) below:
a. Either:
i. 5% of the planned trip fuel or, in the event of in-flight replanning, 5% of the trip fuel for the
remainder of the flight; or
ii. Not less than 3% of the planned trip fuel or, in the event of in-flight replanning, 3% of the trip fuel
for the remainder of the flight, provided that an en-route alternate is available according to ACJ OPS 1.295,
or
iii. An amount of fuel sufficient for 20 minutes flying time based upon the planned trip fuel
consumption provided that the operator has established a fuel consumption monitoring programme for
individual aeroplanes and uses valid data determined by means of such a programme for fuel calculation; or
iv. An amount of fuel based on a statistical method approved by the Authority which ensures an
appropriate statistical coverage of the deviation from the planned to the actual trip fuel. This method is
used to monitor the fuel consumption on each city pair/aeroplane combination and the operator uses this
data for a statistical analysis to calculate contingency fuel for that city pair/aeroplane combination.
Note:
1. As an example, the following values of statistical coverage of the deviation from the planned to the actual trip fuel
have been agreed:
a. 99% coverage plus 3% of the trip fuel, if the calculated flight time is less than 2 hours, or more than 2 hours and no
suitable en-route alternate is available;
b. 99% coverage if the calculated flight time is more than 2 hours and a suitable en-route alternate is available;
c. 90% coverage if:

Refuelling/Defuelling with passengers embarking, on board or disembarking
See JAR-OPS 1.305
When re/defuelling with passengers on board, ground servicing activities and work inside the aeroplane,

that the aisles and emergency doors are unobstructed.
IEM OPS 1.307
Refuelling/Defuelling with wide-cut fuel
See JAR-OPS 1.307
1 ‘Wide cut fuel’ (designated JET B, JP-4 or AVTAG) is an aviation turbine fuel that falls between
gasoline and kerosene in the distillation range and consequently, compared to kerosene (JET A or JET A1),
it has the properties of higher volatility (vapour pressure), lower flash point and lower freezing point.
2 Wherever possible, an operator should avoid the use of wide-cut fuel types. If a situation arises
such that only wide-cut fuels are available for refuelling/defuelling, operators should be aware that mixtures
of wide-cut fuels and kerosene turbine fuels can result in the air/fuel mixture in the tank being in the
combustible range at ambient temperatures. The extra precautions set out below are advisable to avoid
arcing in the tank due to electrostatic discharge. The risk of this type of arcing can be minimised by the use
of a static dissipation additive in the fuel. When this additive is present in the proportions stated in the fuel
specification, the normal fuelling precautions set out below are considered adequate.
3 Wide-cut fuel is considered to be “involved” when it is being supplied or when it is already present
in aircraft fuel tanks.
4 When wide-cut fuel has been used, this should be recorded in the Technical Log. The next two
uplifts of fuel should be treated as though they too involved the use of wide-cut fuel.
5. When refuelling/defuelling with turbine fuels not containing a static dissipator, and where wide -cut
fuels are involved, a substantial reduction on fuelling flow rate is advisable. Reduced flow rate, as
recommended by fuel suppliers and/or aeroplane manufacturers, has the following benefits:
a. It allows more time for any static charge build-up in the fuelling equipment to dissipate before the
fuel enters the tank;
b. It reduces any charge which may build up due to splashing; and
c. Until the fuel inlet point is immersed, it reduces misting in the tank and consequently the extension
of the flammable range of the fuel.
JAR-OPS 1 Subpart D SECTION 2
01.01.05 2-D-18 Amendment 8
6 The flow rate reduction necessary is dependent upon the fuelling equipment in use and the type of
filtration employed on the aeroplane fuelling distribution system. It is difficult, therefore, to quote precise
flow rates. Reduction in flow rate is advisable whether pressure fuelling or over-wing fuelling is employed.
7 With over-wing fuelling, splashing should be avoided by making sure that the delivery nozzle
extends as far as practicable into the tank. Caution should be exercised to avoid damaging bag tanks with
the nozzle.

Controlled rest on flight deck
See JAR-OPS 1.310(a)(3)
Even though crew members should stay alert at all times during flight, unexpected fatigue can occur as a
result of sleep disturbance and circadian disruption. To cover for this unexpected fatigue, and to regain a
high level of alertness, a controlled rest procedure on the Flight Deck can be used. Moreover, the use of
controlled rest has been shown to increase significantly levels of alertness during the later phases of flight,
particularly after the top of descent, and is considered a good use of CRM principles. Controlled rest should
be used in conjunction with other on board fatigue management countermeasures such as physical
exercise, bright cockpit illumination at appropriate times, balanced eating and drinking, and intellectual
activity. The maximum rest time has been chosen to limit deep sleep with consequent long recovery time
(sleep inertia).
1 It is the responsibility of all crew members to be properly rested before flight (see JAR-OPS 1.085).
2 This ACJ is concerned with controlled rest taken by the minimum certificated flight crew. It is not
concerned with resting by members of an augmented crew.
3 Controlled rest means a period of time ‘off task’ some of which may include actual sleep.
4 Controlled rest may be used at the discretion of the commander to manage both sudden
unexpected fatigue and fatigue which is expected to become more severe during higher workload periods
later in the flight. It cannot be planned before flight.
5 Controlled rest should only take place during a low workload part of the flight.
6 Controlled rest periods should be agreed according to individual needs and the accepted principles
of CRM; where the involvement of the cabin crew is required, consideration should be given to their
workload.
7 Only one crew member at a time should take rest, at his station; the harness should be used and
the seat positioned to minimise unintentional interference with the controls.
8 The commander should ensure that the other flight crew member(s) is (are) adequately briefed to
carry out the duties of the resting crew member. One pilot must be fully able to exercise control of the
aeroplane at all times. Any system intervention which would normally require a cross check according to
multi crew principles should be avoided until the resting crew member resumes his duties.
9 Controlled rest may be taken according the following conditions:
a) The rest period should be no longer than 45 minutes (in order to limit any actual sleep to
approximately 30 minutes). ]
IEM OPS 1.307 (continued)
SECTION 2 JAR-OPS 1 Subpart D
Amendment 8 2-D-19 01.01.05
b) After this 45-minute period, there should be a recovery period of 20 minutes during which sole
control of the aeroplane should not be entrusted to the pilot who has completed his rest.
c) In the case of 2-crew operations, means should be established to ensure that the non-resting flight
crew member remains alert. This may include:
- Appropriate alarm systems
- Onboard systems to monitor crew activity
- Frequent Cabin Crew checks; In this case, the commander should inform the senior cabin crew
member of the intention of the flight crew member to take controlled rest, and of the time of the end of that
rest; Frequent contact should be established between the flight deck and the cabin crew by means of the

10 A minimum 20 minute period should be allowed between rest periods to overcome the effects of
sleep inertia and allow for adequate briefing.
11 If necessary, a flight crew member may take more than one rest period if time permits on longer

12 Controlled rest periods should terminate at least 30 minutes before top of descent.

Ice and other contaminants
Procedures
1. General
a. Any deposit of frost, ice, snow or slush on the external surfaces of an aeroplane may drastically
affect its flying qualities because of reduced aerodynamic lift, increased drag, modified stability and control
characteristics. Furthermore, freezing deposits may cause moving parts, such as elevators, ailerons, flap
actuating mechanism etc., to jam and create a potentially hazardous condition. Propeller/engine/APU/
systems performance may deteriorate due to the presence of frozen contaminants to blades, intakes and
components. Also, engine operation may be seriously affected by the ingestion of snow or ice, thereby
causing engine stall or compressor damage. In addition, ice/frost may form on certain external surfaces
(e.g. wing upper and lower surfaces, etc.) due to the effects of cold fuel/structures, even in ambient
temperatures well above 0° C.
b. The procedures established by the operator for de-icing and/or anti-icing in accordance with JAR-
OPS 1.345 are intended to ensure that the aeroplane is clear of contamination so that degradation of
aerodynamic characteristics or mechanical interference will not occur and, following anti-icing, to maintain ]

[ the airframe in that condition during the appropriate holdover time. The de-icing and/or anti-icing
procedures should therefore include requirements, including type-specific, taking into account
manufacturer’s recommendations and cover:
(i) Contamination checks, including detection of clear ice and under-wing frost.
Note: limits on the thickness/area of contamination published in the AFM or other manufacturers’ documentation should
be followed;
(ii) De-icing and/or anti-icing procedures including procedures to be followed if de-icing and/or anti-
icing procedures are interrupted or unsuccessful;
(iii) Post treatment checks;
(iv) Pre take-off checks;
(v) Pre take-off contamination checks;
(vi) The recording of any incidents relating to de-icing and/or anti-icing; and
(vii) The responsibilities of all personnel involved in de-icing and/or anti-icing.
c. Under certain meteorological conditions de-icing and/or anti-icing procedures may be ineffective in
providing sufficient protection for continued operations. Examples of these conditions are freezing rain, ice
pellets and hail, heavy snow, high wind velocity, fast dropping OAT or any time when freezing precipitation
with high water content is present. No Holdover Time Guidelines exist for these conditions.

freezing of super-cooled drizzle, droplets or raindrops.
d. Conditions conducive to aeroplane icing on the ground. Freezing fog, freezing precipitation, frost,
rain or high humidity (on cold soaked wings), mixed rain and snow and snow.

moisture such as frost, snow, slush, or ice.
f. Contamination check. Check of aeroplane for contamination to establish the need for de-icing.
g. De-icing. The procedure by which frost, ice, snow or slush is removed from an aeroplane in order
to provide uncontaminated surfaces.
h. De-icing fluid. Such fluid includes, but is not limited to, the following:
(i) Heated water;
(ii) Type I fluid;
(iii) Mixture of water and Type I fluid;
(iv) Type II fluid;
(v) Mixture of water and Type II fluid;
(vi) Type III fluid;

NOTE: De-icing fluid is normally applied heated to ensure maximum efficiency.
i. De-icing/anti-icing. This is the combination of de-icing and anti-icing performed in either one or two
steps.
j. Ground Ice Detection System (GIDS). System used during aeroplane ground operations to inform
the ground crew and/or the flight crew about the presence of frost, ice, snow or slush on the aeroplane

01.01.05 2-D-22 Amendment 8
[ 7° C for type II, III or IV de-/anti-icing fluids.
m. Post treatment check. An external check of the aeroplane after de-icing and/or anti-icing treatment
accomplished from suitably elevated observation points (e.g. from the de-icing equipment itself or other
elevated equipment) to ensure that the aeroplane is free from any frost, ice, snow, or slush.
n. Pre-take-off check. An assessment, normally performed from within the flight deck, to validate the
applied holdover time.
o. Pre-take-off contamination check. A check of the treated surfaces for contamination, performed
when the hold-over-time has been exceeded or if any doubt exists regarding the continued effectiveness of
the applied anti-icing treatment. It is normally accomplished externally, just before the commencement of
the take-off run.
3. Fluids
a. Type I fluid. Due to its properties, Type I fluid forms a thin, liquid-wetting film on surfaces to which it
is applied which, under certain weather conditions, gives a very limited holdover time. With this type of fluid,
increasing the concentration of fluid in the fluid/water mix does not provide any extension in holdover time.
b. Type II and type IV fluids contain thickeners which enable the fluid to form a thicker liquid-wetting
film on surfaces to which it is applied. Generally, this fluid provides a longer holdover time than Type I fluids
in similar conditions. With this type of fluid, the holdover time can be extended by increasing the ratio of
fluid in the fluid/water mix.
c. Type III fluid: a thickened fluid intended especially for use on aeroplanes with low rotation speeds.
d. Fluids used for de-icing and/or anti-icing should be acceptable to the operator and the aeroplane
manufacturer. These fluids normally conform to specifications such as SAE AMS 1424, 1428 or equivalent.
Use of non-conforming fluids is not recommended due to their characteristics not being known.
Note: The anti-icing and aerodynamic properties of thickened fluids may be seriously degraded by, for example,
inappropriate storage, treatment, application, application equipment and age.
4. Communications
4.1 Before aeroplane treatment.
When the aeroplane is to be treated with the flight crew on board, the flight and ground crews should
confirm the fluid to be used, the extent of treatment required, and any aeroplane type specific procedure(s)
to be used. Any other information needed to apply the HOT tables should be exchanged.
4.2 Anti-icing code
a. The operator’s procedures should include an anti-icing code, which indicates the treatment the
aeroplane has received. This code provides the flight crew with the minimum details necessary to estimate
a holdover time (see para 5 below) and confirms that the aeroplane is free of contamination.
b. The procedures for releasing the aeroplane after the treatment should therefore provide the
Commander with the anti-icing code.
c. Anti-icing Codes to be used (examples):
(i) ”Type I“ at (start time) – To be used if anti-icing treatment has been performed with a Type I fluid;
(ii) ”Type II/100“ at (start time) – To be used if anti-icing treatment has been performed with undiluted
Type II fluid;
(iii) ”Type II/75“ at (start time) – To be used if anti-icing treatment has been performed with a mixture of
75% Type II fluid and 25% water;
(iv) ”Type IV/50“ at (start time) – To be used if anti-icing treatment has been performed with a mixture
of 50% Type IV fluid and 50% water.
Note 1: When a two-step de-icing/anti-icing operation has been carried out, the Anti-Icing Code is determined by the
second step fluid. Fluid brand names may be included, if desired. ]
ACJ OPS 1.345 (continued)
SECTION 2 JAR-OPS 1 Subpart D
Amendment 8 2-D-23 01.01.05
[ 4.3 After Treatment
Before reconfiguring or moving the aeroplane, the flight crew should receive a confirmation from the ground
crew that all de-icing and/or anti-icing operations are complete and that all personnel and equipment are
clear of the aeroplane.
5. Holdover protection
a. Holdover protection is achieved by a layer of anti-icing fluid remaining on and protecting aeroplane
surfaces for a period of time. With a one-step de-icing/anti-icing procedure, the holdover time (HOT) begins
at the commencement of de-icing/anti-icing. With a two-step procedure, the holdover time begins at the
commencement of the second (anti-icing) step. The holdover protection runs out:
(i) At the commencement of take-off roll (due to aerodynamic shedding of fluid) or
(ii) When frozen deposits start to form or accumulate on treated aeroplane surfaces, thereby indicating
the loss of effectiveness of the fluid.
b. The duration of holdover protection may vary subject to the influence of factors other than those
specified in the holdover time (HOT) tables. Guidance should be provided by the operator to take account of
such factors which may include:
(i) Atmospheric conditions, e.g. exact type and rate of precipitation, wind direction and velocity,
relative humidity and solar radiation and
(ii) The aeroplane and its surroundings, such as aeroplane component inclination angle, contour and
surface roughness, surface temperature, operation in close proximity to other aeroplanes (jet or propeller
blast) and ground equipment and structures.
c. Holdover times are not meant to imply that flight is safe in the prevailing conditions if the specified
holdover time has not been exceeded. Certain meteorological conditions, such as freezing drizzle or
freezing rain, may be beyond the certification envelope of the aeroplane.
d. The operator should publish in the Operations Manual the holdover times in the form of a table or
diagram to account for the various types of ground icing conditions and the different types and
concentrations of fluids used. However, the times of protection shown in these tables are to be used as
guidelines only and are normally used in conjunction with pre-take-off check.
e. References to usable HOT tables may be found in the ‘AEA recommendations for de-/anti-icing
aircraft on the ground’.
6. Procedures to be used
Operator’s procedures should ensure that:
a. When aeroplane surfaces are contaminated by ice, frost, slush or snow, they are de-iced prior to
take-off; according to the prevailing conditions. Removal of contaminants may be performed with
mechanical tools, fluids (including hot water), infra-red heat or forced air, taking account of aeroplane type-
specific requirements.
b. Account is taken of the wing skin temperature versus OAT, as this may affect:
(i) The need to carry out aeroplane de-icing and/or anti-icing; and
(ii) The performance of the de-icing/anti-icing fluids.
c. When freezing precipitation occurs or there is a risk of freezing precipitation occurring, which would
contaminate the surfaces at the time of take-off, aeroplane surfaces should be anti-iced. If both de-icing and
anti-icing are required, the procedure may be performed in a one or two-step process depending upon
weather conditions, available equipment, available fluids and the desired holdover time. One-step de-
icing/anti-icing means that de-icing and anti-icing are carried out at the same time using a mixture of de-
icing/anti-icing fluid and water. Two-step de-icing/anti-icing means that de-icing and anti-icing are carried
out in two separate steps. The aeroplane is first de-iced using heated water only or a heated mixture of de-
icing/anti-icing fluid and water. After completion of the de-icing operation a layer of a mixture of de-
icing/anti-icing fluid and water, or of de-icing/anti-icing fluid only, is to be sprayed over the aeroplane
surfaces. The second step will be applied, before the first step fluid freezes, typically within three minutes
and, if necessary, area by area. ]
ACJ OPS 1.345 (continued)
JAR-OPS 1 Subpart D SECTION 2
01.01.05 2-D-24 Amendment 8
[ d. When an aeroplane is anti-iced and a longer holdover time is needed/desired, the use of a less
diluted Type II or Type IV fluid should be considered.
e. All restrictions relative to Outside Air Temperature (OAT) and fluid application (including, but not
necessarily limited to temperature and pressure), published by the fluid manufacturer and/or aeroplane
manufacturer, are followed. Procedures, limitations and recommendations to prevent the formation of fluid
residues are followed.
f. During conditions conducive to aeroplane icing on the ground or after de-icing and/or anti-icing, an
aeroplane is not dispatched for departure unless it has been given a contamination check or a post
treatment check by a trained and qualified person. This check should cover all treated surfaces of the
aeroplane and be performed from points offering sufficient accessibility to these parts. To ensure that there
is no clear ice on suspect areas, it may be necessary to make a physical check (e.g. tactile).
g. The required entry is made in the Technical Log. (See AMC OPS 1.915, par. 2, Section 3.vi.).
h. The Commander continually monitors the environmental situation after the performed treatment.
Prior to take-off he performs a pre-take-off check, which is an assessment whether the applied HOT is still
appropriate. This pre-take-off check includes, but is not limited to, factors such as precipitation, wind and
OAT.
i. If any doubt exists as to whether a deposit may adversely affect the aeroplane’s performance
and/or controllability characteristics, the Commander should require a pre-take-off contamination check to
be performed in order to verify that the aeroplane’s surfaces are free of contamination. Special methods
and/or equipment may be necessary to perform this check, especially at night time or in extremely adverse
weather conditions. If this check cannot be performed just prior take-off, re- treatment should be applied.
j. When re-treatment is necessary, any residue of the previous treatment should be removed and a
completely new de-icing/anti-icing treatment applied.
k. When a Ground Ice Detection System (GIDS) is used to perform an aeroplane surfaces check prior
to and/or after a treatment, the use of GIDS by suitably trained personnel should be a part of the procedure.
7. Special operational considerations
a. When using thickened de-icing/anti-icing fluids, the operator should consider a two-step de-
icing/anti-icing procedure, the first step preferably with hot water and/or non thickened fluids.
b. The use of de-icing/anti-icing fluids has to be in accordance with the aeroplane manufacturer’s
documentation. This is particular true for thickened fluids to assure sufficient flow-off during take-off.
c. The operator should comply with any type-specific operational requirement(s) such as an
aeroplane mass decrease and/or a take-off speed increase associated with a fluid application.
d. The operator should take into account any flight handling procedures (stick force, rotation speed
and rate, take-off speed, aeroplane attitude etc.) laid down by the aeroplane manufacturer when associated
with a fluid application.
e. The limitations or handling procedures resulting from c and/or d above should be part of the flight
crew pre take-off briefing.
8. Special maintenance considerations
a. General
The operator should take proper account of the possible side-effects of fluid use. Such effects may include,
but are not necessarily limited to, dried and/or re-hydrated residues, corrosion and the removal of
lubricants.
b. Special considerations due to residues of dried fluids
The operator should establish procedures to prevent or detect and remove residues of dried fluid. If
necessary the operator should establish appropriate inspection intervals based on the recommendations of
the airframe manufacturers and/or own experience: ]
ACJ OPS 1.345 (continued)
SECTION 2 JAR-OPS 1 Subpart D
Amendment 8 2-D-25 01.01.05
[ (i) Dried fluid residues.
Dried fluid residue could occur when surfaces has been treated but the aircraft has not subsequently been
flown and not been subject to precipitation. The fluid may then have dried on the surfaces;
(ii) Re-hydrated fluid residues.
Repetitive application of thickened de-icing/anti-icing fluids may lead to the subsequent formation/build up
of a dried residue in aerodynamically quiet areas, such as cavities and gaps. This residue may re-hydrate if
exposed to high humidity conditions, precipitation, washing, etc., and increase to many times its original
size/volume. This residue will freeze if exposed to conditions at or below 0° C. This may cause moving parts
such as elevators, ailerons, and flap actuating mechanisms to stiffen or jam in flight.
Re-hydrated residues may also form on exterior surfaces, which can reduce lift, increase drag and stall
speed.
Re-hydrated residues may also collect inside control surface structures and cause clogging of drain holes or
imbalances to flight controls.
Residues may also collect in hidden areas: around flight control hinges, pulleys, grommets, on cables and in
gaps;
(iii) Operators are strongly recommended to request information about the fluid dry-out and re-
hydration characteristics from the fluid manufacturers and to select products with optimised characteristics;
(iv) Additional information should be obtained from fluid manufacturers for handling, storage,
application and testing of their products.
9. Training
a. An operator should establish appropriate initial and recurrent de-icing and/or anti-icing training
programmes (including communication training) for flight crew and those of his ground crew who are
involved in de-icing and/or anti-icing.
b. These de-icing and/or anti-icing training programmes should include additional training if any of the
following will be introduced:
(i) A new method, procedure and/or technique;
(ii) A new type of fluid and/or equipment; and
(iii) A new type(s) of aeroplane.
10. Subcontracting (see AMC OPS 1.035 sections 4 and 5)
The operator should ensure that the subcontractor complies with the operator’s quality and
training/qualification requirements together with the special requirements in respect of:
a. De-icing and/or anti-icing methods and procedures;
b. Fluids to be used, including precautions for storage and preparation for use;
c. Specific aeroplane requirements (e.g. no-spray areas, propeller/engine de-icing, APU operation
etc.);
d. Checking and communications procedures. ]

1. The procedures to be established by an operator should take account of the design, the equipment
or the configuration of the aeroplane and also of the training which is needed. For these reasons, different
aeroplane types operated by the same company may require the development of different procedures. In
every case, the relevant limitations are those which are defined in the Aeroplane Flight Manual (AFM) and
other documents produced by the manufacturer.

icing conditions are referred to under Appendix 1 to JAR-OPS 1.1045, A 8.3.8 and should be cross-
referenced, where necessary, to supplementary, type-specific data under B 4.1.1.
3. Technical content of the Procedures. The operator should ensure that the procedures take account
of the following:
a. JAR-OPS 1.675;
b. The equipment and instruments which must be serviceable for flight in icing conditions;
c. The limitations on flight in icing conditions for each phase of flight. These limitations may be
imposed by the aeroplane’s de-icing or anti-icing equipment or the necessary performance corrections
which have to be made;
d. The criteria the Flight Crew should use to assess the effect of icing on the performance and/or
controllability of the aeroplane;
e. The means by which the Flight Crew detects, by visual cues or the use of the aeroplane’s ice
detection system, that the flight is entering icing conditions; and
f. The action to be taken by the Flight Crew in a deteriorating situation (which may develop rapidly)
resulting in an adverse affect on the performance and/or controllability of the aeroplane, due to either:
i. the failure of the aeroplane’s anti-icing or de-icing equipment to control a build-up of ice, and/or
ii. ice build-up on unprotected areas.
4. Training for despatch and flight in expected or actual icing conditions. The content of the
Operations Manual, Part D, should reflect the training, both conversion and recurrent, which Flight Crew,
Cabin Crew and all other relevant operational personnel will require in order to comply with the procedures
for despatch and flight in icing conditions.
4.1 For the Flight Crew, the training should include:
a. Instruction in how to recognise, from weather reports or forecasts which are available before flight
commences or during flight, the risks of encountering icing conditions along the planned route and on how
to modify, as necessary, the departure and in-flight routes or profiles;
b. Instruction in the operational and performance limitations or margins;
c. The use of in-flight ice detection, anti-icing and de-icing systems in both normal and abnormal
operation; and
d. Instruction in the differing intensities and forms of ice accretion and the consequent action which
should be taken.
4.2 For the Cabin Crew, the training should include;
a. Awareness of the conditions likely to produce surface contamination; and
b. The need to inform the Flight Crew of significant ice accretion.

being required for the flight, or unless two separate runways are available at the isolated aerodrome and the
expected weather conditions at that aerodrome comply with those specified for planning in JAR-OPS

Assessment of Cosmic Radiation
See JAR-OPS 1.390(a)(1)
1 In order to show compliance with JAR-OPS 1.390(a), an operator should assess the likely exposure
for crew members so that he can determine whether or not action to comply with JAR-OPS 1.390(a)(2), (3),
(4) and (5) will be necessary.
a. Assessment of exposure level can be made by the method described below, or other method
acceptable to the Authority:
Table 1 - Hours exposure for effective dose of 1 millisievert (mSv)
Altitude (feet) Kilometre equivalent Hours at latitude 60o N Hours at equator

Note: This table, published for illustration purposes, is based on the CARI-3 computer program; and may be superseded
by updated versions, as approved by the Authority.
The uncertainty on these estimates is about ± 20%. A conservative conversion factor of 0·8 has been used to convert
ambient dose equivalent to effective dose.
b. Doses from cosmic radiation vary greatly with altitude and also with latitude and with the phase of
the solar cycle. Table 1 gives an estimate of the number of flying hours at various altitudes in which a dose
of 1 mSv would be accumulated for flights at 60o N and at the equator. Cosmic radiation dose rates change
reasonably slowly with time at altitudes used by conventional jet aircraft (i.e. up to about 15 km / 49 000 ft).
c. Table 1 can be used to identify circumstances in which it is unlikely that an annual dosage level of
1 mSv would be exceeded. If flights are limited to heights of less than 8 km (27 000 ft), it is unlikely that
annual doses will exceed 1 mSv. No further controls are necessary for crew members whose annual dose
can be shown to be less than 1 mSv.

See JAR-OPS 1.390(a)(2)
Where in-flight exposure of crew members to cosmic radiation is likely to exceed 1 mSv per year the
operator should arrange working schedules, where practicable, to keep exposure below 6 mSv per year. For
the purpose of this regulation crew members who are likely to be exposed to more than 6 mSv per year are
considered highly exposed and individual records of exposure to cosmic radiation should be kept for each
crew member concerned.

AMC OPS 1.430(b)(4) Effect on Landing Minima of temporarily failed or downgraded Ground Equipment See JAR-OPS 1.430(b)(4)
1 Introduction
1.1 This AMC provides operators with instructions for flight crews on the effects on landing minima of temporary failures or downgrading of ground equipment.
1.2 Aerodrome facilities are expected to be installed and maintained to the standards prescribed in ICAO Annexes 10 and 14. Any deficiencies are expected to be repaired without unnecessary delay.
2 General. These instructions are intended for use both pre-flight and in-flight. It is not expected however that the commander would consult such instructions after passing the outer marker or equivalent position. If failures of ground aids are announced at such a late stage, the approach could be continued at the commander’s discretion. If, however, failures are announced before such a late stage in the approach, their effect on the approach should be considered as described in Tables 1A and 1B below, and the approach may have to be abandoned to allow this to happen.
3 Operations with no Decision Height (DH)
3.1 An operator should ensure that, for aeroplanes authorised to conduct no DH operations with the lowest RVR limitations, the following applies in addition to the content of Tables 1A and 1B, below:
i. RVR. At least one RVR value must be available at the aerodrome;
ii. Runway lights
a. No runway edge lights, or no centre lights – Day – RVR 200 m; Night – Not allowed;
b. No TDZ lights – No restrictions;
c. No standby power to runway lights – Day – RVR 200 m; Night – not allowed.
4. Conditions applicable to Tables 1A & 1B
i. Multiple failures of runway lights other than indicated in Table 1B are not acceptable.
ii. Deficiencies of approach and runway lights are treated separately.
iii. Category II or III operations. A combination of deficiencies in runway lights and RVR assessment equipment is not allowed.
iv. Failures other than ILS affect RVR only and not DH.

IEM to Appendix 1 to JAR-OPS 1.430 Aerodrome Operating Minima See Appendix 1 to JAR-OPS 1.430
The minima stated in this Appendix are based upon the experience of commonly used approach aids. This is not meant to preclude the use of other guidance systems such as Head Up Display (HUD) and Enhanced Visual Systems (EVS) but the applicable minima for such systems will need to be developed as the need arises.
IEM to Appendix 1 to JAR-OPS 1.430, paragraphs (d) and (e) Establishment of minimum RVR for Category II and III Operations See Appendix 1 to JAR-OPS 1.430, paragraphs (d) and (e)
1 General
1.1 When establishing minimum RVR for Category II and III Operations, operators should pay attention to the following information which originates in ECAC Doc 17 3rd Edition, Subpart A. It is retained as background information and, to some extent, for historical purposes although there may be some conflict with current practices.
1.2 Since the inception of precision approach and landing operations various methods have been devised for the calculation of aerodrome operating minima in terms of decision height and runway visual range. It is a comparatively straightforward matter to establish the decision height for an operation but establishing the minimum RVR to be associated with that decision height so as to provide a high probability that the required visual reference will be available at that decision height has been more of a problem.
1.3 The methods adopted by various States to resolve the DH/RVR relationship in respect of Category II and Category III operations have varied considerably. In one instance there has been a simple approach which entailed the application of empirical data based on actual operating experience in a particular environment. This has given satisfactory results for application within the environment for which it was developed. In another instance a more sophisticated method was employed which utilised a fairly complex computer programme to take account of a wide range of variables. However, in the latter case, it has been found that with the improvement in the performance of visual aids, and the increased use of automatic equipment in the many different types of new aircraft, most of the variables cancel each other out and a simple tabulation can be constructed which is applicable to a wide range of aircraft. The basic principles
SECTION 2 JAR-OPS 1 Subpart E
Amendment 3 2-E-5 01.12.01
which are observed in establishing the values in such a table are that the scale of visual reference required by a pilot at and below decision height depends on the task that he has to carry out, and that the degree to which his vision is obscured depends on the obscuring medium, the general rule in fog being that it becomes more dense with increase in height. Research using flight simulators coupled with flight trials has shown the following:
a. Most pilots require visual contact to be established about 3 seconds above decision height though it has been observed that this reduces to about 1 second when a fail-operational automatic landing system is being used;
b. To establish lateral position and cross-track velocity most pilots need to see not less than a 3 light segment of the centre line of the approach lights, or runway centre line, or runway edge lights;
c. For roll guidance most pilots need to see a lateral element of the ground pattern, i.e. an approach lighting cross bar, the landing threshold, or a barrette of the touchdown zone lighting; and
d. To make an accurate adjustment to the flight path in the vertical plane, such as a flare, using purely visual cues, most pilots need to see a point on the ground which has a low or zero rate of apparent movement relative to the aircraft.
e. With regard to fog structure, data gathered in the United Kingdom over a twenty-year period have shown that in deep stable fog there is a 90% probability that the slant visual range from eye heights higher than 15ft above the ground will be less that the horizontal visibility at ground level, i.e. RVR. There are at present no data available to show what the relationship is between the Slant Visual Range and RVR in other low visibility conditions such as blowing snow, dust or heavy rain, but there is some evidence in pilot reports that the lack of contrast between visual aids and the background in such conditions can produce a relationship similar to that observed in fog.
2 Category II Operations
2.1 The selection of the dimensions of the required visual segments which are used for Category II operations is based on the following visual requirements:
a. A visual segment of not less than 90 metres will need to be in view at and below decision height for pilot to be able to monitor an automatic system;
b. A visual segment of not less than 120 metres will need to be in view for a pilot to be able to maintain the roll attitude manually at and below decision height; and
c. For a manual landing using only external visual cues, a visual segment of 225 metres will be required at the height at which flare initiation starts in order to provide the pilot with sight of a point of low relative movement on the ground.
[ ]
3 Category III fail passive operations
3.1 Category III operations utilising fail-passive automatic landing equipment were introduced in the late 1960’s and it is desirable that the principles governing the establishment of the minimum RVR for such operations be dealt with in some detail.
3.2 During an automatic landing the pilot needs to monitor the performance of the aircraft system, not in order to detect a failure which is better done by the monitoring devices built into the system, but so as to know precisely the flight situation. In the final stages he should establish visual contact and, by the time he reaches decision height, he should have checked the aircraft position relative to the approach or runway centre-line lights. For this he will need sight of horizontal elements (for roll reference) and part of the touchdown area. He should check for lateral position and cross-track velocity and, if not within the pre-stated lateral limits, he should carry out a go-around. He should also check longitudinal progress and sight of the landing threshold is useful for this purpose, as is sight of the touchdown zone lights.
3.3 In the event of a failure of the automatic flight guidance system below decision height, there are two possible courses of action; the first is a procedure which allows the pilot to complete the landing manually if there is adequate visual reference for him to do so, or to initiate a go-around if there is not; the second is to make a go-around mandatory if there is a system disconnect regardless of the pilot’s assessment of the visual reference available.
IEM to Appendix 1 to JAR-OPS 1.430, paragraphs (d) and (e) (continued) (continued)
JAR-OPS 1 Subpart E SECTION 2
01.12.01 2-E-6 Amendment 3
a. If the first option is selected then the overriding requirement in the determination of a minimum RVR is for sufficient visual cues to be available at and below decision height for the pilot to be able to carry out a manual landing. Data presented in Doc 17 showed that a minimum value of 300 metres would give a high probability that the cues needed by the pilot to assess the aircraft in pitch and roll will be available and this should be the minimum RVR for this procedure.
b. The second option, to require a go-around to be carried out should the automatic flight-guidance system fail below decision height, will permit a lower minimum RVR because the visual reference requirement will be less if there is no need to provide for the possibility of a manual landing. However, this option is only acceptable if it can be shown that the probability of a system failure below decision height is acceptably low. It should be recognised that the inclination of a pilot who experiences such a failure would be to continue the landing manually but the results of flight trials in actual conditions and of simulator experiments show that pilots do not always recognise that the visual cues are inadequate in such situations and present recorded data reveal that pilots’ landing performance reduces progressively as the RVR is reduced below 300 metres. It should further be recognised that there is some risk in carrying out a manual go-around from below 50ft in very low visibility and it should therefore be accepted that if an RVR lower than 300 metres is to be authorised, the flight deck procedure should not normally allow the pilot to continue the landing manually in such conditions and the aeroplane system should be sufficiently reliable for the go-around rate to be low.
3.4 These criteria may be relaxed in the case of an aircraft with a fail-passive automatic landing system which is supplemented by a head-up display which does not qualify as a fail-operational system but which gives guidance which will enable the pilot to complete a landing in the event of a failure of the automatic landing system. In this case it is not necessary to make a go-around mandatory in the event of a failure of the automatic landing system when the RVR is less than 300 metres.
4 Category III fail operational operations - with a Decision Height
4.1 For Category III operations utilising a fail-operational landing system with a Decision Height, a pilot should be able to see at least 1 centre line light.
4.2 For Category III operations utilising a fail-operational hybrid landing system with a Decision Height, a pilot should have a visual reference containing a segment of at least 3 consecutive lights of the runway centre line lights.
5 Category III fail operational operations - with No Decision Height
5.1 For Category III operations with No Decision Height the pilot is not required to see the runway prior to touchdown. The permitted RVR is dependent on the level of aeroplane equipment.
5.2 A CAT III runway may be assumed to support operations with no Decision Height unless specifically restricted as published in the AIP or NOTAM.
[Ch. 1, 01.03.98; Amdt. 3, 01.12.01]
IEM to Appendix 1 to JAR-OPS 1.430, paragraph (e)(5) - Table 7 Crew actions in case of autopilot failure at or below decision height in fail-passive Category III operations. See Appendix 1 to JAR-OPS 1.430, paragraph (e)(5) Table 7
For operations to actual RVR values less than 300m, a go-around is assumed in the event of an autopilot failure at or below DH.
This means that a go-around is the normal action. However the wording recognises that there may be circumstances where the safest action is to continue the landing. Such circumstances include the height at which the failure occurs, the actual visual references, and other malfunctions. This would typically apply to the late stages of the flare.
In conclusion it is not forbidden to continue the approach and complete the landing when the commander or the pilot to whom the conduct of the flight has been delegated, determines that this is the safest course of action.
Operational instructions should reflect the information given in this IEM and the operators policy.

1 The purpose of this IEM is to provide operators with supplemental information regarding the application of aerodrome operating minima in relation to circling approaches.
2 Conduct of flight - General
2.1 For these procedures, the applicable visibility is the meteorological visibility (VIS).
2.2 The MDA/H and OCA/H minimums included in the procedure are related to aerodrome elevation.
3 Missed approach
3.1 If the decision to carry out a missed approach is taken when the aircraft is positioned on the approach axis (track) defined by radio-navigation aids, the published missed approach procedure must be followed. If visual reference is lost while circling to land from an instrument approach, the missed approach specified for that particular instrument approach must be followed. It is expected that the pilot will make an initial climbing turn toward the landing runway and overhead the aerodrome where he will establish the aeroplane in a climb on the missed approach track. Inasmuch as the circling manoeuvre may be accomplished in more than one direction, different patterns will be required to establish the aeroplane on the prescribed missed approach course depending on its position at the time visual reference is lost unless otherwise prescribed.
3.2 If the instrument approach procedure is carried out with the aid of an ILS, the Missed Approach Point (MAPt) associated with an ILS procedure without glide path (GP out procedure) should be taken in account.
4 Instrument approach followed by visual manoeuvring (circling) without prescribed tracks
4.1 Before visual reference is established, but not below MDA/H - The flight should follow the corresponding instrument approach procedure.
4.2 At the beginning of the level flight phase at or above the MDA/H - From the beginning of the level flight phase, the instrument approach track determined by radio navigation aids should be maintained until:
a. The pilot estimates that, in all probability, visual contact with the runway or runway environment will be maintained during the entire procedure;
b. The pilot estimates that his aircraft is within the circling area before commencing circling; and
c. The pilot is able to determine his aircraft’s position in relation to the runway with the aid of the external references.
4.3 If the conditions in paragraph 4.2 above are not met by the MAPt, a missed approach must be carried out in accordance with the instrument approach procedure.
4.4 After the aeroplane has left the track of the corresponding instrument approach procedure, the flight phase outbound from the runway should be limited to the distance which is required to align the aeroplane for the final approach. Flight manoeuvres should be conducted within the circling area and in such way that visual contact with the runway or runway environment is maintained at all times.
4.5 Flight manoeuvres should be carried out at an altitude/height which is not less than the circling minimum descent/altitude height (MDA/H).
4.6 Descent below MDA/H should not be initiated until the threshold of the runway to be used has been identified and the aeroplane is in a position to continue with a normal rate of descent and land within the touchdown zone.
5 Instrument approach followed by a visual manoeuvring (circling) with prescribed track
5.1 Before visual reference is established, but not below MDA/H - The flight should follow the corresponding instrument approach procedure.
5.2 The aeroplane should be established in level flight at or above the MDA/H and the instrument approach track determined by the radio navigation aids maintained until visual contact can be achieved and
JAR-OPS 1 Subpart E SECTION 2
01.12.01 2-E-8 Amendment 3
maintained. At the divergence point, the aeroplane should leave the instrument approach track and the published routing and heights followed.
5.3 If the divergence point is reached before the necessary visual reference is acquired, a missed approach procedure should be initiated not later than the MAPt and carried out in accordance with the instrument approach procedure.
5.4 The instrument approach track determined by radio navigation aids should only be left at the prescribed divergence point when only the published routing and heights should be followed.
5.5 Unless otherwise specified in the procedure, final descent should not be initiated until the threshold of the runway to be used has been identified and the aeroplane is in a position to continue with a normal rate of descent and land within the touchdown zone.

[ACJ to Appendix 1 to JAR-OPS 1.440 Operational Demonstrations See Appendix 1 to JAR-OPS 1.440
1. General
1.1 Demonstrations may be conducted in line operations, or any other flight where the Operator's procedures are being used.
1.2 In unique situations where the completion of 100 successful landings could take an unreasonably long period of time due to factors such as a small number of aeroplanes in the fleet, limited opportunity to use runways having Category II/III procedures, or inability to obtain ATS sensitive area protection during good weather conditions, and equivalent reliability assurance can be achieved, a reduction in the required number of landings may be considered on a case-by-case basis. Reduction of the number of landings to be demonstrated requires a justification for the reduction, and prior approval from Authority. However, at the operator's option, demonstrations may be made on other runways and facilities. Sufficient information should be collected to determine the cause of any unsatisfactory performance (e.g. sensitive area was not protected).
1.3 If an operator has different variants of the same type of aeroplane utilising the same basic flight control and display systems, or different basic flight control and display systems on the same type/classes of aeroplane, the operator should show that the various variants have satisfactory performance, but the operator need not conduct a full operational demonstration for each variant.
1.4 Not more than 30% of the demonstration flights should be made on the same runway.
2. Data Collection For Operational Demonstrations
2.1 Data should be collected whenever an approach and landing is attempted utilising the Category II/ III system, regardless of whether the approach is abandoned, unsatisfactory, or is concluded successfully.
2.2 The data should, as a minimum, include the following information:
a. Inability to initiate an Approach. Identify deficiencies related to airborne equipment which preclude initiation of a Category II/III approach.
b. Abandoned Approaches. Give the reasons and altitude above the runway at which approach was discontinued or the automatic landing system was disengaged.
c. Touchdown or Touchdown and Roll-out Performance. Describe whether or not the aircraft landed satisfactorily (within the desired touchdown area) with lateral velocity or cross track error which could be corrected by the pilot or automatic system so as to remain within the lateral confines of the runway without unusual pilot skill or technique. The approximate lateral and longitudinal position of the actual touchdown point in relation to the runway centreline and the runway threshold, respectively, should be indicated in the report. This report should also include any Category II/III system abnormalities which required manual intervention by the pilot to ensure a safe touchdown or touchdown and roll-out, as appropriate. ]

b. Faulty Navaid Signals. Navaid (e.g. ILS localiser) irregularities, such as those caused by other aircraft taxiing, over-flying the navaid (antenna).
c. Other Factors. Any other specific factors that could affect the success of Category II/ III operations that are clearly discernible to the flight crew should be reported.]

b. No relevant system failure occurs; and
2.2 From 300 feet to DH:
a. No excess deviation occurs; and
b. No centralised warning gives a go-around command (if installed).
3 An automatic landing may be considered to be successful if:
a. No relevant system failure occurs;
b. No flare failure occurs;
c. No de-crab failure occurs (if installed);
d. Longitudinal touchdown is beyond a point on the runway 60 metres after the threshold and before the end of the touchdown zone lighting (900 metres from the threshold);
e. Lateral touchdown with the outboard landing gear is not outside the touchdown zone lighting edge;

IEM OPS 1.490(c)(3) Take-off – Runway surface condition See JAR-OPS 1.490(c)(3)
1 Operation on runways contaminated with water, slush, snow or ice implies uncertainties with regard to runway friction and contaminant drag and therefore to the achievable performance and control of the the aeroplane during take-off, since the actual conditions may not completely match the assumptions on which the performance information is based. In the case of a contaminated runway, the first option for the commander is to wait until the runway is cleared. If this is impracticable, he may consider a take-off, provided that he has applied the applicable performance adjustments, and any further safety measures he considers justified under the prevailing conditions.
2 An adequate overall level of safety will only be maintained if operations in accordance with JAR-25 AMJ 25X1591 are limited to rare occasions. Where the frequency of such operations on contaminated runways is not limited to rare occasions, operators should provide additional measures ensuring an equivalent level of safety. Such measures could include special crew training, additional distance factoring and more restrictive wind limitations.

1.1 The length of the runway which is declared for the calculation of TODA, ASDA and TORA, does not account for line-up of the aeroplane in the direction of take-off on the runway in use. This alignment distance depends on the aeroplane geometry and access possibility to the runway in use. Accountability is usually required for a 90° taxiway entry to the runway and 180° turnaround on the runway. There are two distances to be considered:
a. The minimum distance of the mainwheels from the start of the runway for determining TODA and TORA,”L”; and
b. The minimum distance of the most forward wheel(s) from the start of the runway for determining ASDA,”N”.

Where the aeroplane manufacturer does not provide the appropriate data, the calculation method given in paragraph 2 may be use to determine the alignment distance.
2. Alignment Distance Calculation
The distances mentioned in (a) and (b) of paragraph 1 above are:
90° ENTRY 180° TURNAROUND
L= RM + X RN + Y
N= RM + X + W B RN + Y + W B
WB where: RN = A + WN = + WN
cos(90°-α)
and RM = B + WM = WB tan(90°-α) + WM
X = Safety distance of outer main wheel during turn to the edge of the runway
Y = Safety distance of outer nose wheel during turn to the edge of the runway
NOTE: Minimum edge safety distances for X and Y are specified in FAA AC 150/5300-13 and ICAO Annex 14 paragraph 3.8.3
RN = Radius of turn of outer nose wheel
RM = Radius of turn of outer main wheel
WN = Distance from aeroplane centre-line to outer nose wheel
WM = Distance from aeroplane centre-line to outer main wheel
WB = Wheel base
α = Steering angle

IEM OPS 1.495(a) Take-off obstacle clearance See JAR-OPS 1.495(a)
1 In accordance with the definitions used in preparing the take-off distance and take-off flight path Data provided in the Aeroplane Flight Manual:
a. The net take-off flight path is considered to begin at a height of 35 ft above the runway or clearway at the end of the take-off distance determined for the aeroplane in accordance with sub-paragraph (b) below.
b. The take-off distance is the longest of the following distances:
i. 115% of the distance with all engines operating from the start of the take-off to the point at which the aeroplane is 35 ft above the runway or clearway; or
ii. The distance from the start of the take-off to the point at which the aeroplane is 35 ft above the runway or clearway assuming failure of the critical engine occurs at the point corresponding to the decision speed (V1) for a dry runway; or
iii. If the runway is wet or contaminated, the distance from the start of the take-off to the point at which the aeroplane is 15 ft above the runway or clearway assuming failure of the critical engine occurs at the point corresponding to the decision speed (V1) for a wet or contaminated runway.
JAR-OPS 1.495(a) specifies that the net take-off flight path, determined from the data provided in the Aeroplane Flight Manual in accordance with sub-paragraphs 1(a) and 1(b) above, must clear all relevant obstacles by a vertical distance of 35 ft. When taking off on a wet or contaminated runway and an engine failure occurs at the point corresponding to the decision speed (V1) for a wet or contaminated runway, this
implies that the aeroplane can initially be as much as 20 ft below the net take-off flight path in accordance with sub-paragraph 1 above and, therefore, may clear close-in obstacles by only 15 ft. When taking off on wet or contaminated runways, the operator should exercise special care with respect to obstacle assessment, especially if a take-off is obstacle limited and the obstacle density is high.
AMC OPS 1.495(c)(4) Take-off obstacle clearance See JAR-OPS 1.495(c)
1 The Aeroplane Flight Manual generally provides a climb gradient decrement for a 15° bank turn. For bank angles of less than 15°, a proportionate amount should be applied, unless the manufacturer or Aeroplane Flight Manual has provided other data.
2 Unless otherwise specified in the Aeroplane Flight Manual or other performance or operating manuals from the manufacturer, acceptable adjustments to assure adequate stall margins and gradient corrections are provided by the following:

2 Visual Course Guidance
2.1 The obstacle accountability semi-widths of 300 m (see JAR-OPS 1.495(d)(1)) and 600 m (see JAR-OPS 1.495(e)(1)) may be used where navigational accuracy is ensured at all relevant points on the flight path by use of external references. These references may be considered visible from the flight deck if they are situated more than 45° either side of the intended track and with a depression of not greater than 20° from the horizontal.
2.2 For visual course guidance navigation, an operator should ensure that the weather conditions prevailing at the time of operation, including ceiling and visibility, are such that the obstacle and/or ground reference points can be seen and identified. The Operations Manual should specify, for the aerodrome(s) concerned, the minimum weather conditions which enable the flight crew to continuously determine and maintain the correct flight path with respect to ground reference points, so as to provide a safe clearance with respect to obstructions and terrain as follows:
a. The procedure should be well defined with respect to ground reference points so that the track to be flown can be analysed for obstacle clearance requirements;
b. The procedure should be within the capabilities of the aeroplane with respect to forward speed, bank angle and wind effects;
c. A written and/or pictorial description of the procedure should be provided for crew use;
d. The limiting environmental conditions (such as wind, the lowest cloud base, ceiling, visibility, day/night, ambient lighting, obstruction lighting) should be specified.

IEM OPS 1.495(f) Engine failure procedures See JAR-OPS 1.495(f)
If compliance with JAR-OPS 1.495(f) is based on an engine failure route that differs from the all engine departure route or SID normal departure, a “deviation point” can be identified where the engine failure route deviates from the normal departure route. Adequate obstacle clearance along the normal departure with failure of the critical engine at the deviation point will normally be available. However, in certain situations the obstacle clearance along the normal departure route may be marginal and should be checked to ensure that, in case of an engine failure after the deviation point, a flight can safely proceed along the normal departure.
AMC OPS 1.500 En-Route – One Engine Inoperative See JAR-OPS 1.500
1 The high terrain or obstacle analysis required for showing compliance with JAR-OPS 1.500 may be carried out in one of two ways, as explained in the following three paragraphs.
2 A detailed analysis of the route should be made using contour maps of the high terrain and plotting the highest points within the prescribed corridor’s width along the route. The next step is to determine whether it is possible to maintain level flight with one engine inoperative 1000 ft above the highest point of the crossing. If this is not possible, or if the associated weight penalties are unacceptable, a driftdown procedure should be worked out, based on engine failure at the most critical point and clearing critical obstacles during the driftdown by at least 2000 ft. The minimum cruise altitude is determined by the
SECTION 2 JAR-OPS 1 Subpart G
Amendment 3 2-G-5 01.12.01
intersection of the two driftdown paths, taking into account allowances for decision making (see Figure 1). This method is time consuming and requires the availability of detailed terrain maps.
3 Alternatively, the published minimum flight altitudes (Minimum En route Altitude, MEA, or Minimum Off Route Altitude, MORA) may be used for determining whether one engine inoperative level flight is feasible at the minimum flight altitude or if it is necessary to use the published minimum flight altitudes as the basis for the driftdown construction (see Figure 1). This procedure avoids a detailed high terrain contour analysis but may be more penalising than taking the actual terrain profile into account as in paragraph 2.
4 In order to comply with JAR-OPS 1.500(c), one means of compliance is the use of MORA and, with JAR-OPS 1.500(d), MEA provided that the aeroplane meets the navigational equipment standard assumed in the definition of MEA.
FIGURE 1
NOTE: MEA or MORA normally provide the required 2000 ft obstacle clearance for driftdown. However, at and below 6000 ft altitude, MEA and MORA cannot be used directly as only 1000 ft. clearance is ensured.

[ ] [The required missed approach gradient may not be achieved] by all aeroplanes when operating at or near maximum certificated landing mass and in engine-out conditions. Operators of such aeroplanes should consider mass, altitude and temperature limitations and wind for the missed approach [ ].

IEM OPS 1.515(c) Landing – Dry runway See JAR-OPS 1.515(c)
1 JAR-OPS 1.515(c) establishes two considerations in determining the maximum permissible landing mass at the destination and alternate aerodromes.
2 Firstly, the aeroplane mass will be such that on arrival the aeroplane can be landed within 60%or 70% (as applicable) of the landing distance available on the most favourable (normally the longest)runway in still air. Regardless of the wind conditions, the maximum landing mass for an aerodrome/aeroplane configuration at a particular aerodrome, cannot be exceeded.
3 Secondly, consideration should be given to anticipated conditions and circumstances. The expected wind, or ATC and noise abatement procedures, may indicate the use of a different runway. These factors may result in a lower landing mass than that permitted under paragraph 2 above, in which case, to show compliance with JAR-OPS 1.515(a), despatch should be based on this lesser mass.
4 The expected wind referred to in paragraph 3 is the wind expected to exist at the time of arrival.

Notes: 1. The soil is firm when there are wheel impressions but no rutting.
2. When taking off on grass with a single engined aeroplane, care should be taken to assess the rate of
acceleration and consequent distance increase.
3. When making a rejected take-off on very short grass which is wet, and with a firm subsoil, the surface
may be slippery, in which case the distances may increase significantly.]
IEM OPS 1.530(c)(4) Take-Off Performance Correction Factors See JAR-OPS 1.530(c)(4)
Due to the inherent risks, operations from contaminated runways are inadvisable, and should be avoided whenever possible. Therefore, it is advisable to delay the take-off until the runway is cleared. Where this is impracticable, the commander should also consider the excess runway length available including the criticality of the overrun area.
AMC OPS 1.530(c)(5) Runway Slope See JAR-OPS 1.530(c)(5)
Unless otherwise specified in the Aeroplane Flight Manual, or other performance or operating manuals from the manufacturers, the take-off distance should be increased by 5% for each 1% of upslope except that correction factors for runways with slopes in excess of 2% require the acceptance of the Authority.
IEM OPS 1.535 Obstacle Clearance in Limited Visibility See JAR-OPS 1.535
1 The intent of the complementary requirements JAR-OPS 1.535 and Appendix 1 to JAR-OPS 1.430 sub-paragraph (a)(3)(ii) is to enhance safe operation with Performance Class B aeroplanes in conditions of limited visibility. Unlike the Performance Class A Airworthiness requirements, those for Performance Class B do not necessarily provide for engine failure in all phases of flight. It is accepted that performance accountability for engine failure need not be considered until a height of 300 ft is reached. 2 The weather minima given in Appendix 1 to JAR-OPS 1.430 sub-paragraph (a)(3)(ii) up to and including 300 ft imply that if a take-off is undertaken with minima below 300 ft a one engine inoperative flight path must be plotted starting on the all-engine take-off flight path at the assumed engine failure height. This path must meet the vertical and lateral obstacle clearance specified in JAR-OPS 1.535. Should engine failure occur below this height, the associated visibility is taken as being the minimum

which would enable the pilot to make, if necessary, a forced landing broadly in the direction of the take-off. At or below 300 ft, a circle and land procedure is extremely inadvisable. Appendix 1 to JAR-OPS 1.430 sub-paragraph (a)(3)(ii) specifies that, if the assumed engine failure height is more than 300 ft, the visibility must be at least 1500 m and, to allow for manoeuvring, the same minimum visibility should apply whenever the obstacle clearance criteria for a continued take-off cannot be met.
AMC OPS 1.535(a) Take-off Flight Path Construction See JAR-OPS 1.535(a)
1 Introduction. For demonstrating that an aeroplane clears all obstacles vertically, a flight path should be constructed consisting of an all-engine segment to the assumed engine failure height, followed by an engine-out segment. Where the Aeroplane Flight Manual does not contain the appropriate data, the approximation given in paragraph 2 below may be used for the all-engine segment for an assumed engine failure height of 200 ft, 300 ft, or higher.
2 Flight Path Construction
2.1 All-Engines Segment (50 ft to 300 ft). The average all-engines gradient for the all-engines flight path segment starting at an altitude of 50 ft at the end of the take-off distance ending at or passing through the 300 ft point is given by the following formula:
NOTE: The factor of 0.77 as required by JAR-OPS 1.535(a)(4) is already included where:
Y300 = Average all-engines gradient from 50 ft to 300 ft
YERC = Scheduled all engines en-route gross climb gradient
VERC = En-route climb speed, all engines knots TAS
V2 = Take-off speed at 50 ft, knots TAS

(May be used as an alternative to 2.1 where weather minima permits) The average all-engine gradient for the all-engine flight path segment starting at an altitude of 50 ft at the end of the take-off distance ending at or passing through the 200 ft point is given by the following formula:
NOTE: The factor of 0.77 as required by JAR-OPS 1.535(a)(4) is already included where:

The one engine inoperative flight path is given by the one engine inoperative gradient chart contained in the AFM. 3 Worked examples of the method given above are contained in IEM OPS 1.535(a).
IEM OPS 1.535(a) Take-off flight path construction See JAR-OPS 1.535(a) 1 This IEM provides examples to illustrate the method of take-off flight path construction given in AMC OPS 1.535(a). The examples shown below are based on an aeroplane for which the Aeroplane Flight Manual shows, at a given mass, altitude, temperature and wind component the following performance data:
Factored take-off distance – 1000 m
Take-off speed, V2 – 90 kt

1 The altitude at which the rate of climb equals 300 ft per minute is not a restriction on the maximum cruising altitude at which the aeroplane can fly in practice, it is merely the maximum altitude from which the driftdown procedure can be planned to start. 2 Aeroplanes may be planned to clear en-route obstacles assuming a driftdown procedure, having first increased the scheduled en-route one engine inoperative descent data by 0·5% gradient.
IEM OPS 1.542 En-route – Single-engined Aeroplanes See JAR-OPS 1.542
1 In the event of an engine failure, single-engine aeroplanes have to rely on gliding to a point suitable for a safe forced landing. Such a procedure is clearly incompatible with flight above a cloud layer which extends below the relevant minimum safe altitude. 2 Operators should first increase the scheduled engine-inoperative gliding performance data by 0·5% gradient when verifying the en-route clearance of obstacles and the ability to reach a suitable place for a forced landing. 3 The altitude at which the rate of climb equals 300 ft per minute is not a restriction on the maximum cruising altitude at which the aeroplane can fly in practice, it is merely the maximum altitude from which the engine-inoperative procedure can be planned to start.
[AMC OPS 1.542(a) En-Route - Single-engine aeroplanes See JAR-OPS 1.542(a) JAR-OPS 1.542(a) requires an operator to ensure that in the event of an engine failure, the aeroplane should be capable of reaching a point from which a successful forced landing can be made.

AMC/IEM I — PERFORMANCE CLASS C IEM OPS 1.565(d)(3) Take-off See JAR-OPS 1.565(d)(3) Operation on runways contaminated with water, slush, snow or ice implies uncertainties with regard to runway friction and contaminant drag and therefore to the achievable performance and control of the aeroplane during take-off, since the actual conditions may not completely match the assumptions on which the performance information is based. An adequate overall level of safety can, therefore, only be maintained if such operations are limited to rare occasions. In case of a contaminated runway the first option for the commander is to wait until the runway is cleared. If this is impracticable, he may consider a take-off, provided that he has applied the applicable performance adjustments, and any further safety measures he considers justified under the prevailing conditions.
[IEM OPS 1.565(d)(6) Loss of runway length due to alignment See JAR-OPS 1.565(d)(6) 1 Introduction 1.1 The length of the runway which is declared for the calculation of TODA, ASDA and TORA, does not account for line-up of the aeroplane in the direction of take-off on the runway in use. This alignment distance depends on the aeroplane geometry and access possibility to the runway in use. Accountability is usually required for a 90° taxiway entry to the runway and 180° turnaround on the runway. There are two distances to be considered: a. The minimum distance of the mainwheels from the start of the runway for determining TODA and TORA, “L”; and b. The minimum distance of the most forward wheel(s) from the start of the runway for determining ASDA, “N”.

The procedure should be within the capabilities of the aeroplane with respect to forward speed, bank angle and wind effects; c. A written and/or pictorial description of the procedure should be provided for crew use; d. The limiting environmental conditions (such as wind, the lowest cloud base, ceiling, visibility, day/night, ambient lighting, obstruction lighting) should be specified.] AMC OPS 1.580 En-Route – One Engine Inoperative See JAR OPS 1.580 The high terrain or obstacle analysis required for showing compliance with JAR-OPS 1.580 can be carried out by making a detailed analysis of the route using contour maps of the high terrain, and plotting the highest points within the prescribed corridor width along the route. The next step is to determine whether it is possible to maintain level flight with one engine inoperative 1000 ft above the highest point of the crossing. If this is not possible, or if the associated weight penalties are unacceptable, a drift-down procedure must be evaluated, based on engine failure at the most critical point, and must show obstacle clearance during the drift-down by at least 2000 ft. The minimum cruise altitude is determined from the drift-down path, taking into account allowances for decision making, and the reduction in the scheduled rate of climb (See Figure 1).

IEM OPS 1.595(c) Landing Runway See JAR-OPS 1.595(c) 1 JAR-OPS 1.595(c) establishes two considerations in determining the maximum permissible landing mass at the destination and alternate aerodromes. 2 Firstly, the aeroplane mass will be such that on arrival the aeroplane can be landed within 70% of the landing distance available on the most favourable (normally the longest) runway in still air. Regardless of the wind conditions, the maximum landing mass for an aerodrome/aeroplane configuration at a particular aerodrome, cannot be exceeded. 3 Secondly, consideration should be given to anticipated conditions and circumstances. The expected wind, or ATC and noise abatement procedures, may indicate the use of a different runway. These factors may result in a lower landing mass than that permitted under paragraph 2 above, in which case, to show compliance with JAR-OPS 1.595(a), despatch should be based on this lesser mass. 4 The expected wind referred to in paragraph 3 is the wind expected to exist at the time of arrival.

IEM OPS 1.605(e) Fuel density SeeJAR-OPS 1.605(e)
1 If the actual fuel density is not known, the operator may use the standard fuel density values specified in the Operations Manual for determining the mass of the fuel load. Such standard values should be based on current fuel density measurements for the airports or areas concerned. Typical fuel density values are:
a. Gasoline (piston engine fuel) – 0·71
b. Jet fuel JP 1 – 0·79
c. Jet fuel JP 4 – 0·76
d. Oil – 0·88
[ACJ OPS 1.605 Mass values See JAR-OPS 1.605
In accordance with ICAO Annex 5 and the International System of Units (SI), the actual and limiting masses of aeroplanes, the payload and its constituent elements, the fuel load etc, are expressed in JAR-OPS 1 in units of mass (kg). However, in most approved Flight Manuals and other operational documentation, these quantities are published as weights in accordance with the common language. In the SI system, a weight is a force rather than a mass. Since the use of the term ‘weight’ does not cause any problem in the day-to-day handling of aeroplanes, its continued use in operational applications and publications is acceptable.]

AMC to Appendix 1 to JAR-OPS 1.605 Accuracy of weighing equipment See Appendix 1 to JAR-OPS 1.605, paragraph (a)(4)(iii)
1 The mass of the aeroplane as used in establishing the dry operating mass and the centre of gravity must be established accurately. Since a certain model of weighing equipment is used for initial and periodic weighing of aeroplanes of widely different mass classes, one single accuracy criterion for weighing equipment cannot be given. However, the weighing accuracy is considered satisfactory if the following accuracy criteria are met by the individual scales/cells of the weighing equipment used:
a. For a scale/cell load below 2 000 kg – an accuracy of ± 1%;
b. For a scale/cell load from 2 000 kg to 20 000 kg – an accuracy of ± 20 kg; and
c. For a scale/cell load above 20 000 kg – an accuracy of ± 0·1 %.

1 In the Certificate Limitations section of the Aeroplane Flight Manual, forward and aft centre of gravity (CG) limits are specified. These limits ensure that the certification stability and control criteria are met throughout the whole flight and allow the proper trim setting for take-off. An operator should ensure that these limits are observed by defining operational procedures or a CG envelope which compensates for deviations and errors as listed below:
1.1 Deviations of actual CG at empty or operating mass from published values due, for example, to weighing errors, unaccounted modifications and/or equipment variations.
ACJ/AMC/IEM J - MASS & BALANCE
JAR-OPS 1 Subpart J SECTION 2
01.12.01 2-J-2 Amendment 3
1.2 Deviations in fuel distribution in tanks from the applicable schedule.
1.3 Deviations in the distribution of baggage and cargo in the various compartments as compared with the assumed load distribution as well as inaccuracies in the actual mass of baggage and cargo.
1.4 Deviations in actual passenger seating from the seating distribution assumed when preparing the mass and balance documentation. (See Note)
1.5 Deviations of the actual CG of cargo and passenger load within individual cargo compartments or cabin sections from the normally assumed mid position.
1.6 Deviations of the CG caused by gear and flap positions and by application of the prescribed fuel usage procedure (unless already covered by the certified limits).
1.7 Deviations caused by in-flight movement of cabin crew, pantry equipment and passengers.
Note: Large CG errors may occur when ‘free seating’ (freedom of passengers to select any seat when entering the aeroplane) is permitted. Although in most cases reasonably even longitudinal passenger seating can be expected, there is a risk of an extreme forward or aft seat selection causing very large and unacceptable CG errors (assuming that the balance calculation is done on the basis of an assumed even distribution). The largest errors may occur at a load factor of approximately 50% if all passengers are seated in either the forward or aft half of the cabin. Statistical analysis indicates that the risk of such extreme seating adversely affecting the CG is greatest on small aeroplanes.
AMC OPS 1.620(a) Passenger mass established by use of a verbal statement See JAR-OPS 1.620(a)
1 When asking each passenger on aeroplanes with less than 10 passenger seats for his/her mass (weight), specific constants should be added to account for hand baggage and clothing. These constants should be determined by the operator on the basis of studies relevant to his particular routes, etc. and should not be less than:
a. For clothing - 4 kg; and
b. For hand baggage - 6 kg.
2 Personnel boarding passengers on this basis should assess the passenger’s stated mass and the mass of passengers’ clothing and hand baggage to check that they are reasonable. Such personnel should have received instruction on assessing these mass values. Where necessary, the stated mass and the specific constants should be increased so as to avoid gross inaccuracies.

IEM OPS 1.620(d)(2) Holiday Charter See JAR-OPS 1.620(d)(2)
A “charter flight solely intended as an element of a holiday travel package” is a flight where the entire passenger capacity is hired by one or more Charterer(s) for the carriage of passengers who are travelling, all or in part by air, on a round- or circle-trip basis for holiday purposes. Categories of passengers such as company personnel, tour operators’ staff, representatives of the press, JAA/Authority officials etc. can be included within the 5% alleviation without negating the use of holiday charter mass values.

1 Sample size (see also Appendix 1 to JAR-OPS 1.620(g)).
1.1 For calculating the required sample size it is necessary to make an estimate of the standard deviation on the basis of standard deviations calculated for similar populations or for preliminary surveys.
IEM to Appendix 1 to JAR-OPS 1.605 (continued)
SECTION 2 JAR-OPS 1 Subpart J
Amendment 3 2-J-3 01.12.01
The precision of a sample estimate is calculated for 95% reliability or ‘significance’, i.e. there is a 95% probability that the true value falls within the specified confidence interval around the estimated value. This standard deviation value is also used for calculating the standard passenger mass.
1.2 As a consequence, for the parameters of mass distribution, i.e. mean and standard deviation, three cases have to be distinguished:
a. µ, σ = the true values of the average passenger mass and standard deviation, which are unknown and which are to be estimated by weighing passenger samples.
b. µ’, σ’ = the ‘a priori’ estimates of the average passenger mass and the standard deviation, i.e. values resulting from an earlier survey, which are needed to determine the current sample size.
c. x, s = the estimates for the current true values of m and s, calculated from the sample.
The sample size can then be calculated using the following formula:
ner

σµ
where:
n = number of passengers to be weighed (sample size)
e’r = allowed relative confidence range (accuracy) for the estimate of µ by x (see also equation in paragraph 3).
NOTE: The allowed relative confidence range specifies the accuracy to be achieved when estimating the true mean. For example, if it is proposed to estimate the true mean to within ± 1%, then e’r will be 1 in the above formula.
1·96 = value from the Gaussian distribution for 95% significance level of the resulting confidence interval.
2 Calculation of average mass and standard deviation. If the sample of passengers weighed is drawn at random, then the arithmetic mean of the sample (x) is an unbiased estimate of the true average mass (µ) of the population.

3. Checking the accuracy of the sample mean. The accuracy (confidence range) which can be ascribed to the sample mean as an indicator of the true mean is a function of the standard deviation of the sample which has to be checked after the sample has been evaluated. This is done using the formula:
whereby er should not exceed 1% for an all adult average mass and not exceed 2% for an average male
and/or female mass. The result of this calculation gives the relative accuracy of the estimate of µ at the 95% significance level. This means that with 95% probability, the true average mass µ lies within the interval:
4. Example of determination of the required sample size and average passenger mass
4.1 Introduction. Standard passenger mass values for mass and balance purposes require passenger weighing programs be carried out. The following example shows the various steps required for establishing the sample size and evaluating the sample data. It is provided primarily for those who are not wellversed in statistical computations. All mass figures used throughout the example are entirely fictitious.
4.2 Determination of required sample size. For calculating the required sample size, estimates of the standard (average) passenger mass and the standard deviation are needed. The ‘a priori’ estimates from an earlier survey may be used for this purpose. If such estimates are not available, a small representative sample of about 100 passengers has to be weighed so that the required values can be calculated. The latter has been assumed for the example.

Step 3: required sample size.
The required number of passengers to be weighed should be such that the confidence range, e'r, does not
exceed 1% as specified in paragraph 3.
n ≥ 3145
The result shows that at least 3 145 passengers have to be weighed to achieve the required accuracy. If e′r is chosen as 2% the result would be n ≥ 786.
Step 4: after having established the required sample size a plan for weighing the passengers is to be worked out, as specified in Appendix 1 to JAR-OPS 1.620(g).
4.3 Determination of the passenger average mass
Step 1: Having collected the required number of passenger mass values, the average passenger mass can be calculated. For the purpose of this example it has been assumed that 3 180 passengers were weighed. The sum of the individual masses amounts to 231 186·2 kg.

The result of this calculation shows that there is a 95% probability of the actual mean for all passengers lying within the range 72·2 kg to 73·2 kg.
IEM OPS 1.620(h) & (i) Adjustment of standard masses See JAR-OPS 1.620(h) & (i)
1. When standard mass values are used, JAR-OPS 1.620 (h) and 1.620(i) require the operator to identify and adjust the passenger and checked baggage masses in cases where significant numbers of passengers or quantities of baggage are suspected of exceeding the standard values. This requirement implies that the Operations Manual should contain appropriate directives to ensure that:
a. Check-in, operations and cabin staff and loading personnel report or take appropriate action when a flight is identified as carrying a significant number of passengers whose masses, including hand baggage, are expected to exceed the standard passenger mass, and/or groups of passengers carrying exceptionally heavy baggage (eg. military personnel or sports teams); and
b. On small aeroplanes, where the risks of overload and/or CG errors are the greatest, commanders pay special attention to the load and its distribution and make proper adjustments.
AMC to Appendix 1 to JAR-OPS 1.620(g) Guidance on passenger weighing surveys See Appendix 1 to JAR-OPS 1.620(g), sub-paragraph (c)(4)
1 Operators seeking approval to use standard passenger masses differing from those prescribed in JAR-OPS 1.620, Tables 1 and 2, on similar routes or networks may pool their weighing surveys provided that:
a. The Authority has given prior approval for a joint survey;
b. The survey procedures and the subsequent statistical analysis meet the criteria of Appendix 1 to JAR-OPS 1.620(g); and
c. In addition to the joint weighing survey results, results from individual operators participating in the joint survey should be separately indicated in order to validate the joint survey results.

Amendment 3 2-J-7 01.12.01
3 Detailed survey plan
3.1 An operator should establish and submit for approval to the Authority a detailed weighing survey plan that is fully representative of the operation, i.e. the network or route under consideration and the survey should involve the weighing of an adequate number of passengers (JAR–OPS 1.620(g)).
3.2 A representative survey plan means a weighing plan specified in terms of weighing locations, dates and flight numbers giving a reasonable reflection of the operator’s timetable and/or area of operation (See Appendix 1 to JAR-OPS 1.620(g), sub-paragraph (a)(1)).
3.3 The minimum number of passengers to be weighed is the highest of the following (See Appendix 1 to JAR-OPS 1.620(g) sub-paragraph (a)):
a. The number that follows from the general requirement that the sample should be representative of the total operation to which the results will be applied; this will often prove to be the overriding requirement; or
b. The number that follows from the statistical requirement specifying the accuracy of the resulting mean values which should be at least 2% for male and female standard masses and 1% for all adult standard masses, where applicable. The required sample size can be estimated on the basis of a pilot sample (at least 100 passengers) or from a previous surveys. If analysis of the results of the survey indicates that the requirements on the accuracy of the mean values for male or female standard masses or all adult standard masses, as applicable, are not met, an additional number of representative passengers should be weighed in order to satisfy the statistical requirements.
3.4 To avoid unrealistically small samples a minimum sample size of 2 000 passengers (males + females) is also required, except for small aeroplanes where in view of the burden of the large number of flights to be weighed to cover 2 000 passengers, a lesser number is considered acceptable.
4 Execution of weighing programme
4.1 At the beginning of the weighing programme it is important to note, and to account for, the data requirements of the weighing survey report (See paragraph 7 below).
4.2 As far as is practicable, the weighing programme should be conducted in accordance with the specified survey plan.
4.3 Passengers and all their personal belongings should be weighed as close as possible to the boarding point and the mass, as well as the associated passenger category (male/female/child), should be recorded.
5 Analysis of results of weighing survey
5.1 The data of the weighing survey should be analysed as explained in IEM OPS 1.620(g). To obtain an insight to variations per flight, per route etc. this analysis should be carried out in several stages, i.e. by flight, by route, by area, inbound/outbound, etc. Significant deviations from the weighing survey plan should be explained as well as their possible effect(s) on the results.
6 Results of the weighing survey
6.1 The results of the weighing survey should be summarised. Conclusions and any proposed deviations from published standard mass values should be justified. The results of a passenger weighing survey are average masses for passengers, including hand baggage, which may lead to proposals to adjust the standard mass values given in JAR-OPS 1.620 Tables 1 and 2. As stated in Appendix 1 to JAR-OPS 1.620(g), sub-paragraph (c), these averages, rounded to the nearest whole number may, in principle, be applied as standard mass values for males and females on aeroplanes with 20 and more passenger seats. Because of variations in actual passenger masses, the total passenger load also varies and statistical analysis indicates that the risk of a significant overload becomes unacceptable for aeroplanes with less that 20 seats. This is the reason for passenger mass increments on small aeroplanes.
6.2 The average masses of males and females differ by some 15 kg or more and because of uncertainties in the male/female ratio the variation of the total passenger load is greater if all adult standard masses are used than when using separate male and female standard masses. Statistical analysis indicates that the use of all adult standard mass values should be limited to aeroplanes with 30 passenger seats or more.

JAR-OPS 1 Subpart J SECTION 2
01.12.01 2-J-8 Amendment 3
6.3 As indicated in Appendix 1 to JAR-OPS 1.620(g), standard mass values for all adults must be based on the averages for males and females found in the sample, taking into account a reference male/female ratio of 80/20 for all flights except holiday charters where a ratio of 50/50 applies. An operator may, based on the data from his weighing programme, or by proving a different male/female ratio, apply for approval of a different ratio on specific routes or flights.

[ACJ OPS 1.730(a)(3) Seats, seat safety belts, harnesses and child restraint devices (See JAR-OPS 1.730(a)(3))
1. General
A child restraint device (CRD) is considered to be acceptable if:
a) It is a ‘supplementary loop belt’ manufactured with the same techniques and the same materials of the approved safety belts; or
b) It complies with paragraph 2.
2. Acceptable CRDs
Provided the CRD can be installed properly on the respective aircraft seat, the following CRDs are considered “acceptable”:
2.1 Types of CRDs
a) CRDs approved for use in aircraft only by any JAA authority, the FAA or Transport Canada (on the basis of a national technical standard) and marked accordingly.
b) CRDs approved for use in motor vehicles according to the UN standard ECE R 44, -03 or later series of Amendments; or
c) CRDs approved for use in motor vehicles and aircraft according to Canadian CMVSS 213/213.1; or
d) CRDs approved for use in motor vehicles and aircraft according to US FMVSS No 213 and are manufactured to these standards on or after February 26, 1985. US approved CRDs manufactured after this date must bear the following labels in red lettering:
1) “THIS CHILD RESTRAINT SYSTEM CONFORMS TO ALL APPLICABLE FEDERAL MOTOR VEHICLE SAFETY STANDARDS“ and
2) “THIS RESTRAINT IS CERTIFIED FOR USE IN MOTOR VEHICLES AND AIRCRAFT“.
e) CRDs qualified for use in aircraft according to the German “Qualification Procedure for Child Restraint Systems for Use in Aircraft“ (TÜV Doc.: TÜV/958-01/2001).
2.2 Devices approved for use in cars manufactured and tested to standards equivalent to those listed in 2.1 (a) to (e) inclusive, which are acceptable to the NAA. The device must be marked with an associated qualification sign, which shows the name of the qualification organisation and a specific identification number, related to the associated qualification project.
2.3 The qualifying organization shall be a competent and independent organization that is acceptable to the national JAA authority.
3. Location
3.1 Forward facing CRDs may be installed on both forward and rearward facing passenger seats but only when fitted in the same direction as the passenger seat on which it is positioned. Rearward facing CRDs can only be installed on forward facing passenger seats. A CRD may not be installed within the radius of action of an airbag, unless it is obvious that the airbag is de-activated or it can be demonstrated that there is no negative impact from the airbag.
3.2 A child in a restraint device should be located as near to a floor level exit as feasible.
01.09.05 2-K-8 Amendment 9
SECTION 2 JAR-OPS 1 Subpart K
ACJ OPS 1.730(a)(3) (continued)
3.3 A child in a restraint device should be seated in accordance with JAR-OPS 1.280 and IEM OPS 1.280, “Passenger Seating“ so as to not hinder evacuation for any passenger.
3.4 A child in a restraint device should neither be located in the row leading to an emergency exit nor located in a row immediately forward or aft of an emergency exit. A window passenger seat is the preferred location. An aisle passenger seat or a cross aisle passenger seat is not recommended. Other locations may be acceptable provided the access of neighbour passengers to the nearest aisle is not obstructed by the CRD.
3.5 In general, only one CRD per row segment is recommended. More than one CRD per row segment is allowed if the children are from the same family or travelling group provided the children are accompanied by a responsible person sitting next to them.
3.6 A Row Segment is the fraction of a row separated by two aisles or by one aisle and the aircraft fuselage.
4. Installation
4.1 CRDs shall only be installed on a suitable aircraft seat with the type of connecting device they are approved or qualified for. E.g., CRDs to be connected by a three point harness only (most rearward facing baby CRDs currently available) shall not be attached to an aircraft seat with a lap belt only, a CRD designed to be attached to a vehicle seat by means of rigid bar lower anchorages (ISO-FIX or US equivalent) only, shall only be used on aircraft seats that are equipped with such connecting devices and shall not be attached by the aircraft seat lap belt. The method of connecting must be clearly shown in the manufacturer’s instructions to be provided with each CRD.
4.2 All safety and installation instructions must be followed carefully by the responsible person accompanying the infant. Cabin crew should prohibit the use of any inadequately installed CRD or not qualified seat.
4.3 If a forward facing CRD with a rigid backrest is to be fastened by a lap belt, the restraint device should be fastened when the backrest of the passenger seat on which it rests is in a reclined position. Thereafter, the backrest is to be positioned upright. This procedure ensures better tightening of the CRD on the aircraft seat if the aircraft seat is reclinable.
4.4 The buckle of the adult safety belt must be easily accessible for both opening and closing, and must be in line with the seat belt halves (not canted) after tightening.
4.5 Forward facing restraint devices with an integral harness must not be installed such that the adult safety belt is secured over the child.
5. Operation
5.1 Each CRD shall remain secured to a passenger seat during all phases of flight, unless it is properly stowed when not in use.
5.2 Where a CRD is adjustable in recline it must be in an upright position for all occasions when passenger restraint devices are required to be used according to JAR-OPS 1.320(b)(1).]

IEM OPS 1.760 First-aid Oxygen See JAR-OPS 1.760
1 First aid oxygen is intended for those passengers who, having been provided with the supplemental oxygen required under JAR-OPS 1.770, still need to breathe undiluted oxygen when the amount of supplemental oxygen has been exhausted.
01.09.05 2-K-10 Amendment 9
SECTION 2 JAR-OPS 1 Subpart K
IEM OPS 1.760 (continued)
2 When calculating the amount of first-aid oxygen, an operator should take into account the fact that, following a cabin depressurisation, supplemental oxygen as calculated in accordance with Appendix 1 to JAR-OPS 1.770 should be sufficient to cope with hypoxic problems for:
a. all passengers when the cabin altitude is above 15 000 ft; and
b. a proportion of the passengers carried when the cabin altitude is between 10 000 ft and 15 000 ft.
3 For the above reasons, the amount of first-aid oxygen should be calculated for the part of the flight after cabin depressurisation during which the cabin altitude is between 8 000 ft and 15 000 ft, when supplemental oxygen may no longer be available.
4 Moreover, following cabin depressurisation an emergency descent should be carried out to the lowest altitude compatible with the safety of the flight. In addition, in these circumstances, the aeroplane should land at the first available aerodrome at the earliest opportunity.
5 The conditions above should reduce the period of time during which the first-aid oxygen may be required and consequently should limit the amount of first-aid oxygen to be carried on board.
[Amdt. 3, 01.12.01]
IEM OPS 1.770 Supplemental Oxygen – Pressurised Aeroplanes See JAR-OPS 1.770
1 A quick donning mask is the type of mask that:
a. Can be placed on the face from its ready position, properly secured, sealed, and supplying oxygen upon demand, with one hand and within 5 seconds and will thereafter remain in position, both hands being free;
b. Can be put on without disturbing eye glasses and without delaying the flight crew member from proceeding with assigned emergency duties;
c. After being put on, does not prevent immediate communication between the flight crew members and other crew members over the aeroplane intercommunication system;
d. Does not inhibit radio communications.
2 In determining the supplemental oxygen for the routes to be flown, it is assumed that the aeroplane will descend in accordance with the emergency procedures specified in the Operations Manual, without exceeding its operating limitations, to a flight altitude that will allow the flight to be completed safely (ie. flight altitudes ensuring adequate terrain clearance, navigational accuracy, hazardous weather avoidance etc.)
ACJ OPS 1.770(b)(2)(v) Supplemental Oxygen - Pressurised Aeroplanes (Not certificated to fly above 25 000 ft) See JAR-OPS 1.770 (b)(2)(v)
1 With respect to JAR-OPS 1.770(b)(2)(v) the maximum altitude up to which an aeroplane can operate, without a passenger oxygen system installed and capable of providing oxygen to each cabin occupant, should be established using an emergency descent profile which takes into account the following conditions:
a. 17 seconds time delay for pilot’s recognition and reaction including mask donning, for trouble shooting and configuring the aeroplane for the emergency descent;
b. maximum operational speed (VMO) or the airspeed approved in the Aeroplane Flight Manual for emergency descent, whichever is the less;
c. all engines operative;
d. the estimated mass of the aeroplane at the top of climb.
Amendment 9 2-K-11 01.09.05
JAR-OPS 1 Subpart K SECTION 2
ACJ OPS 1.770(b)(2)(v) (continued)
1.1 Emergency descent data (charts) established by the aeroplane manufacturer and published in the Aeroplane Operating Manual and/or Aeroplane Flight Manual should be used to ensure uniform application of the rule.
2 On routes where the oxygen is necessary to be carried for 10% of the passengers for the flight time between 10 000ft and 13 000ft the oxygen may be provided either:
a. by a plug-in or drop-out oxygen system with sufficient outlets and dispensing units uniformly distributed throughout the cabin so as to provide oxygen to each passenger at his own discretion when seated on his assigned seat; or:
b. by portable bottles when a fully trained cabin crew member is carried on board of each such flight.
[Amdt. 3, 01.12.01]
AMC OPS 1.790 Hand Fire Extinguishers See JAR-OPS 1.790
1 The number and location of hand fire extinguishers should be such as to provide adequate availability for use, account being taken of the number and size of the passenger compartments, the need to minimise the hazard of toxic gas concentrations and the location of toilets, galleys etc. These considerations may result in the number being greater than the minimum prescribed.
2 There should be at least one fire extinguisher suitable for both flammable fluid and electrical equipment fires installed on the flight deck. Additional extinguishers may be required for the protection of other compartments accessible to the crew in flight. Dry chemical fire extinguishers should not be used on the flight deck, or in any compartment not separated by a partition from the flight deck, because of the adverse effect on vision during discharge and, if non-conductive, interference with electrical contacts by the chemical residues.
3 Where only one hand fire extinguisher is required in the passenger compartments it should be located near the cabin crew member’s station, where provided.
4 Where two or more hand fire extinguishers are required in the passenger compartments and their location is not otherwise dictated by consideration of paragraph 1 above, an extinguisher should be located near each end of the cabin with the remainder distributed throughout the cabin as evenly as is practicable.
5 Unless an extinguisher is clearly visible, its location should be indicated by a placard or sign. Appropriate symbols may be used to supplement such a placard or sign.
AMC OPS 1.810 Megaphones See JAR-OPS 1.810
Where one megaphone is required, it should be readily accessible from a cabin crew member’s assigned seat. Where two or more megaphones are required, they should be suitably distributed in the passenger cabin(s) and readily accessible to crew members assigned to direct emergency evacuations. This does not necessarily require megaphones to be positioned such that they can be reached by a crew member when strapped in a cabin crew member’s seat.

ACJ/AMC/IEM L — COMMUNICATION AND NAVIGATION EQUIPMENT
IEM OPS 1.845 Communication and Navigation Equipment - Approval and Installation See JAR-OPS 1.845
1 For Communication and Navigation Equipment required by JAR-OPS 1 Subpart L, “Approved” means that compliance with the applicable JTSO design requirements and performance specifications, or equivalent, in force at the time of the equipment approval application, has been demonstrated. Where a JTSO does not exist, the applicable airworthiness standards or equivalent apply unless otherwise prescribed in JAR-OPS 1 or JAR-26.
2 “Installed” means that the installation of Communication and Navigation Equipment has been demonstrated to comply with the applicable airworthiness requirements of JAR-23/JAR-25, or the relevant code used for Type Certification, and any applicable requirement prescribed in JAR-OPS 1.
3 Communication and Navigation Equipment approved in accordance with design requirements and performance specifications other than JTSOs, before the applicability dates prescribed in JAR-OPS 1.001(b), are acceptable for use or installation on aeroplanes operated for the purpose of commercial air transportation provided that any relevant JAR-OPS requirement is complied with.
4 When a new version of a JTSO (or of a specification other than a JTSO) is issued, Communication and Navigation Equipment approved in accordance with earlier requirements may be used or installed on aeroplanes operated for the purpose of commercial air transportation provided that such Communication and Navigation Equipment are operational, unless removal from service or withdrawal is required by means of an amendment to JAR-OPS 1 or JAR-26.

[ACJ OPS 1.865(c)(1)(i) IFR operations without ADF system See JAR-OPS 1.865(c)(1)(i)
1 To perform IFR operations without an ADF system installed, an operator should consider the following guidelines on equipment carriage, operational procedures and training criteria.
2 The removal/non installation of ADF equipment from an aeroplane may only be done where it is not essential for navigation, provided that alternative equipment giving equivalent or enhanced navigation capability is carried. This may be accomplished by the carriage of an additional VOR receiver or a GNSS receiver approved for IFR operations.
3 For IFR operations without ADF, an operator should ensure that:
a. route segments that rely solely on ADF for navigation are not flown;
b. a firm commitment is made not to fly any ADF/NDB procedures;
c. that the MEL has been amended to take account of the non-carriage of ADF;
d. that the Operations Manual does not reference any procedures based on NDB signals for the aeroplanes concerned;
e. that flight planning and dispatch procedures are consistent with the above mentioned criteria. ]

[Amdt. 2, 01.07.00]
IEM OPS 1.885(a) Application for and approval of the Operator’s Maintenance See JAR-OPS 1.885(a)
1 The Authority does not expect the documents listed in JAR-OPS 1.185(b) to be submitted in a completed state with the initial application for grant or variation since each will require approval in its own right and may be subject to amendment as a result of Authority assessment during the technical investigations. Draft documents should be submitted at the earliest opportunity so that investigation of the application can begin. Grant or variation cannot be achieved until the Authority is in possession of completed documents.
2 This information is required to enable the Authority to conduct its investigation into the application, to assess the volume of maintenance work necessary and the locations at which it will be accomplished.
3 The applicant should inform the Authority where base and scheduled line maintenance is to take place and give details of any contracted maintenance which is in addition to that provided in response to JAR-OPS 1.895(a) or (c).
4 At the time of application, the Operator should have arrangements for all base and scheduled line maintenance in place for an appropriate period of time, as acceptable to the Authority. The operator should establish further arrangements in due course before the maintenance is due.
Base maintenance contracts for high-life time checks may be based on one time contracts, when the Authority considers that this is compatible with the operator’s fleet size.

a. Air Operator Certificate number;
b. Name of the Operator;
c. Type(s) of aeroplane for which the maintenance system has been accepted;
d. Reference identification of the operator’s approved aeroplane maintenance programme(s) related to (c) above;
e. Reference identification of the operators approved maintenance management exposition; and
f. Any limitations imposed by the Authority on the grant or variation.
NOTE: Approval may be limited to specified aeroplanes, to specific locations or by other means like operational limitations if considered
necessary by the Authority in the interests of safe operation.
Amendment 7 2-M-1 01.09.04
JAR-OPS 1 Subpart M SECTION 2
AMC OPS 1.890(a) Maintenance Responsibility See JAR-OPS 1.890(a
1 The requirement means that the operator is responsible for determining what maintenance is required, when it has to be performed and by whom and to what standard, in order to ensure the continued airworthiness of the aircraft being operated.
2 An operator should therefore have adequate knowledge of the design status (type specification, customer options, AD’s, modifications, operational equipment) and required and performed maintenance. Status of aeroplane design and maintenance should be adequately documented to support the performance of the quality system (See JAR-OPS 1.900).
3 An operator should establish adequate co-ordination between flight operations and maintenance to ensure that both will receive all information on the condition of the aircraft necessary to enable both to perform their tasks.
4 The requirement does not mean that an operator himself performs the maintenance (this is to be done by a JAR-145 Approved Maintenance Organisation (See JAR-OPS 1.895) but that the operator carries the responsibility for the airworthy condition of aircraft it operates and thus should be satisfied before the intended flight that all required maintenance has been properly carried out.
5 When an operator is not appropriately approved in accordance with JAR-145, the operator should provide a clear work order to the maintenance contractor. The fact that an operator has contracted a JAR-145 Approved Maintenance Organisation should not prevent him from checking at the maintenance facilities on any aspect of the contracted work if he wishes to do so to satisfy his responsibility for the airworthiness of the aircraft.
AMC OPS 1.890(a)(1) Maintenance Responsibility See JAR-OPS 1.890(a)(1)
1 With regard to the pre-flight inspection it is intended to mean all of the actions necessary to ensure that the aeroplane is fit to make the intended flight. These should typically include but are not necessarily limited to:
a. A walk-around type inspection of the aeroplane and its emergency equipment for condition including, in particular, any obvious signs of wear, damage or leakage. In addition, the presence of all required emergency equipment should be established.
b. Inspection of the Technical log to ensure that the intended flight is not adversely affected by any outstanding deferred defects and that no required maintenance action shown in the maintenance statement is overdue or will become due during the flight.
c. That consumable fluids, gases etc. uplifted prior to flight are of the correct specification, free from contamination, and correctly recorded.
d. That all doors are securely fastened.
e. Control surface and landing gear locks, pitot/static covers, restraint devices and engine/aperture blanks have been removed.
f. That all the aeroplane’s external surfaces and engines are free from ice, snow, sand, dust etc.
2 Tasks such as oil and hydraulic fluid uplift and tyre inflation may be considered as part of the preflight inspection, if acceptable to the Authority. The related pre-flight inspection instructions should address the procedures to determine where the necessary uplift or inflation results from an abnormal consumption and possibly requires additional maintenance action by the JAR-145 approved/accepted Maintenance Organisation.
3 An operator should publish guidance to maintenance and flight personnel and any other personnel performing pre-flight inspection tasks, as appropriate, defining responsibilities for these actions and, where tasks are contracted to other organisations, how their accomplishment is subject to the quality system of JAR-OPS 1.900. It should be demonstrated to the Authority that preflight inspection personnel have received
01.09.04 2-M-2 Amendment 7
SECTION 2 JAR-OPS 1 Subpart M
AMC OPS 1.890(a)(1) (continued)
appropriate training for the relevant preflight inspections tasks. The training standard for personnel performing the preflight inspection should be described in the Operator’s Maintenance Management Exposition.
[Amdt. 2, 01.07.00]
IEM OPS 1 890(a)(1) Maintenance Responsibility See JAR-OPS 1.890(a)(1)
The fact that the performance of pre flight inspections is an Operator’s maintenance responsibility does not necessarily means that such personnel performing pre-flight inspection tasks report to the Nominated Postholder for Maintenance, but that the Nominated postholder for Maintenance is responsible for determining the content of the pre flight inspection and setting the qualification standard of the involved personnel. In addition, compliance with the qualification standard should be monitored by the Operator’s Quality System.
[Amdt. 2, 01.07.00]
AMC OPS 1.890(a)(2) Maintenance Responsibility See JAR-OPS 1.890(a)(2)
The Operator should have a system to ensure that all defects affecting the safe operation of the aeroplane are rectified within the limits prescribed by the approved MEL or CDL as appropriate and that no postponement of such a defect rectification can be permitted unless with the Operator’s agreement and in accordance with a procedure approved by the Authority.
[Amdt. 2, 01.07.00]
AMC OPS 1.890(a)(3) Maintenance Responsibility See JAR - OPS 1.890(a)(3)
The Operator should have a system to ensure that all aeroplane maintenance checks are performed within the limits prescribed by the approved aeroplane maintenance programme and that, whenever a maintenance check cannot be performed within the required time limit, its postponement is allowed with the Operator’s agreement and in accordance with a procedure approved by the Authority.
[Amdt. 2, 01.07.00]
AMC OPS 1.890(a)(4) Maintenance Responsibility See JAR-OPS 1.890(a)(4)
An operator should have a system to analyse the effectiveness of the maintenance programme, with regard to spares, established defects, malfunctions and damage, and to amend the maintenance programme (this amendment will involve the approval of the Authority unless the operator has been approved to amend the maintenance programme without direct involvement of the Authority).
Amendment 7 2-M-3 01.09.04
JAR-OPS 1 Subpart M SECTION 2
IEM OPS 1.890(a)(5) Maintenance Responsibility See JAR - OPS 1.890(a)(5) “Any other continued airworthiness requirement made mandatory by the Authority” includes Type Certification related requirements such as: Certification Maintenance Requirements (CMR’s), Life Limited Parts, Airworthiness Limitations, etc...
[Amdt. 2, 01.07.00]
AMC OPS 1.890(a)(6) Maintenance Responsibility See JAR-OPS 1.890(a)(6)
An operator should establish a policy, and work to that policy, to assess non-mandatory information related to the airworthiness of the aircraft, such as Service Bulletins, Service Letters and other information on the aircraft and its components from the design organisation, the manufacturer or the related airworthiness authorities.
AMC OPS 1.895(a) Maintenance Management See JAR-OPS 1.895(a)
1 The requirement is intended to provide for the possibility of the following three alternative options:
a. An operator to be approved in accordance with JAR-145 to carry out all maintenance of the aeroplane and aeroplane components;
b. An operator to be approved in accordance with JAR-145 to carry out some of the maintenance of the aeroplane and aeroplane components. This, at minimum, could be limited line maintenance but may be considerably more but still short of option (a);
c. An operator not approved in accordance with JAR-145 to carry out any maintenance.
2 An operator or prospective operator may apply for any one of these options but it will be for the Authority to determine which option may be accepted in each particular case.
2.1 To make this determination the Authority will apply the primary criteria of relevant operator experience if carrying out some or all maintenance on comparable aeroplanes. Therefore where an operator applies for option (a) – all maintenance – the Authority will need to be satisfied that the operator has sufficient experience of carrying out all maintenance on a comparable type. For example, assuming that the experience is judged satisfactory, then it is reasonable from the maintenance viewpoint to add a different wide bodied aircraft to an existing wide bodied fleet. If the experience is not satisfactory or too limited the Authority may choose either to require more experienced management and/or more experienced release to service staff or may refuse to accept the new wide bodied aircraft if extra experienced staff cannot be found. Option (b) or (c) may be possible alternatives.
2.2 Where an operator applies for option (b) – some maintenance, or the Authority has been unable to accept an application for option (a) – then satisfactory experience is again the key but in this case the satisfactory experience is related to the reduced maintenance of this option. If the experience is not satisfactory or too limited the Authority may choose to require more experienced staff or may refuse to accept the application if such staff cannot be found. Option (c) may be the possible alternative. Option (c) accepts that the operator either does not have satisfactory experience or has only limited experience of some maintenance.
2.3 The Authority will require an operator to enter into a contract with an appropriately approved JAR-145 organisation except that in some cases where the Authority believes that it is possible to obtain sufficient satisfactorily experienced staff to provide the minimal maintenance support for option (b), in which case option (b) would apply.
01.09.04 2-M-4 Amendment 7
SECTION 2 JAR-OPS 1 Subpart M
AMC OPS 1.895(a) (continued)
2.4 In respect of this paragraph, ‘experience’ means staff who have proven evidence that they were directly involved with at least line maintenance of similar aircraft types for not less than 12 months. Such experience should be demonstrated to be satisfactory. An operator is required to have enough personnel meeting the requirement of JAR-OPS 1.895(b) to manage the maintenance responsibility whichever option is used.
AMC OPS 1.895(b) Maintenance Management See JAR-OPS 1.895(b)
1 The person or group of persons employed should represent the maintenance management structure of the operator (for maintenance) and be responsible for all maintenance functions. Dependent on the size of the operation and the organisational set-up, the maintenance functions may be divided under individual managers or combined in nearly any number of ways. This includes combining the functions of ‘accountable manager’ (see JAR-OPS 1.175(h)), the ‘nominated postholder’ (see JAR-OPS 1.175(i)) and the quality monitoring function (see JAR-OPS 1.900) so long as the quality monitoring function remains independent of the functions to be monitored. In the smallest organisation this may lead to the quality monitoring function being performed by the accountable manager if suitably qualified. Consequently the smallest organisation consists of at least two persons except that the Authority may agree to the quality monitoring function being sub-contracted to another operator’s quality monitoring department or a suitably qualified independent person acceptable to the Authority.
2 The actual number of persons to be employed and their necessary qualifications is dependent upon the tasks to be performed and thus dependent on the size and complexity of the operation (route network, line or charter, ETOPS, number of aircraft and the aircraft types, complexity of the aircraft and their age), number and locations of maintenance facilities and the amount and complexity of maintenance contracting. Consequently, the number of persons needed, and their qualifications, may differ greatly from one operator to another and a simple formula covering the whole range of possibilities is not feasible.
3 To enable the Authority to accept the number of persons and their qualifications, an operator should make an analysis of the tasks to be performed, the way in which he intends to divide and/or combine these tasks, indicate how he intends to assign responsibilities and establish the number of man/hours and the qualifications needed to perform the tasks. With significant changes in the aspects relevant to the number and qualifications of persons needed, this analysis should be updated.
4 The authority does not necessarily expect that the credential of each person of the Maintenance Management Group of Persons are individually submitted to the Authority for their acceptance. However, the Manager of the Maintenance Management Group of Persons, and any manager reporting directly to him should be individually acceptable to the Authority.
[Amdt. 2, 01.07.00]
AMC OPS 1.895(c) Maintenance Management See JAR-OPS 1.895(c)
The Authority should only accept that the proposed person be employed by the JAR-145 Organisation when it is manifest that he/she is the only available competent person in a position to exercise this function, within a practical working distance from the Operator’s offices.
[Amdt. 2, 01.07.00]
Amendment 7 2-M-5 01.09.04
JAR-OPS 1 Subpart M SECTION 2
IEM OPS 1.895(c) Maintenance Management See JAR-OPS 1.895(c)
This paragraph only applies to contracted maintenance and therefore does not affect situations where the JAR-145 approved/accepted Organisation and the Operator are the same organisation.
[Amdt. 2, 01.07.00]
AMC OPS 1.895(d) Maintenance Management See JAR-OPS 1.895(d)
1 Where an operator is not approved to JAR-145 or an operator’s maintenance organisation is an independent organisation, a contract should be agreed between the operator and the JAR-145 Approved Maintenance Organisation that specifies, in detail, the work to be performed by the JAR-145 Approved Maintenance Organisation.
2 Both the specification of work and the assignment of responsibilities should be clear, unambiguous and sufficiently detailed to ensure that no misunderstanding should arise between the parties concerned (operator, maintenance organisation and the Authority) that could result in a situation where work that has a bearing on the airworthiness or serviceability of aircraft is not or will not be properly performed.
3 Special attention should be paid to procedures and responsibilities to ensure that all maintenance work is performed, service bulletins are analysed and decisions taken on accomplishment, airworthiness directives are completed on time and that all work, including non-mandatory modifications is carried out to approved data and to the latest standards.
4 For the actual lay out of the contract the IATA Standard Ground Handling Agreement may be used as a basis, but this does not preclude the Authority from ensuring that the content of the contract is acceptable to them, and especially that the contract allows the Operator to properly exercise its maintenance responsibility. Those parts of a contract that have no bearing on the technical or operational aspects of airworthiness are outside the scope of this paragraph.
[Amdt. 2, 01.07.00]
AMC OPS 1.895(e) Maintenance Management See JAR-OPS 1.895(e)
1 In the case of a contract with an organisation that is not JAR-145 approved/accepted, the Operator’s Maintenance Management Exposition should include appropriate procedures to ensure that all this contracted maintenance is ultimately performed on time by JAR-145 approved/accepted organisations in accordance with data acceptable to the Authority. In particular the Quality System procedures should place great emphasis on monitoring compliance with the above. The list of JAR-145 approved/accepted contractors, or a reference to this list, should be included in the Operator’s Maintenance Management Exposition.
2 Such a maintenance arrangement does not absolve the Operator from its overall Maintenance responsibility. Specifically, in order to accept the maintenance arrangement, the Authority should be satisfied that such an arrangement allows the Operator to ensure full compliance with JAR-OPS 1.890 Maintenance Responsibility.
[Amdt. 2, 01.07.00]
01.09.04 2-M-6 Amendment 7
SECTION 2 JAR-OPS 1 Subpart M
IEM OPS 1.895(e) Maintenance Management See JAR-OPS 1.895(e)
The purpose of JAR-OPS 1.895(e) is to authorise a primary maintenance arrangement with an organisation which is not a JAR-145 approved/accepted Maintenance Organisation, when it proves that such an arrangement is in the interest of the Operator by simplifying the management of its maintenance, and the Operator keeps an appropriate control of it. Such an arrangement should not preclude the Operator from ensuring that all maintenance is performed by a JAR-145 approved/accepted organisation and complying with the JAR-OPS 1.890 maintenance responsibility requirements. Typical examples of such arrangements follow:
- Component maintenance :
The Operator may find it more appropriate to have a primary contractor, that would despatch the components to appropriately approved organisations, rather than himself sending different types of components to various JAR-145 approved/accepted maintenance organisations. The benefit for the operator is that the management of maintenance is simplified by having a single contact point for component maintenance. The Operator remains responsible for ensuring that all maintenance is performed by JAR-145 approved/accepted Organisations and in accordance with the approved standard.
- Aeroplane, engine and component maintenance :
The operator may wish to have a maintenance contract with another non JAR-145 approved JAR-OPS operator of the same type of aeroplane. A typical case is that of a dry-leased aeroplane between JAR-OPS Operators, where the parties, for consistency or continuity reasons (especially for short term lease agreements), find it appropriate to keep the aeroplane under the current maintenance arrangement. Where this arrangement involves various JAR-145 approved/accepted contractors, it might be more manageable for the lessee Operator to have a single contract with the lessor Operator. Such an arrangement should not be understood as a transfer of responsibility to the lessor Operator: the lessee Operator, being the JAR-OPS approved Operator of the aeroplane, remains responsible for the maintenance of the aeroplane in performing the JAR-OPS 1.890 functions, and employing the JAR-OPS 1.895 Maintenance Management Group of Persons.
In essence, JAR-OPS 1.895(e) does not alter the intent of JAR-OPS 1.895(a), (b) and (d) in that it also requires that the Operator has to establish a written maintenance contract acceptable to the Authority and, whatever type of acceptable arrangement is made, the Operator is required to exercise the same level of control on contracted maintenance, particularly through the JAR-OPS 1.895(b) Maintenance Management Group of Persons and JAR-OPS 1.900 Quality System.
[Amdt. 2, 01.07.00]
IEM - OPS 1.895(f&g) Maintenance Management See JAR-OPS 1.895(f&g)
The intent of this paragraph is that maintenance contracts are not necessary when the Operator’s maintenance system, as approved by the Authority, specifies that the relevant maintenance activity may be ordered through one time work orders. This includes for obvious reasons occasional line maintenance and may also include aeroplane component maintenance up to engines, so long as the Authority considers that the maintenance is manageable through work orders, both in term of volume and complexity. It should be noted that this paragraph implies that even where base maintenance is ordered on a case by case basis, there must be a written maintenance contract.

Office accommodation in this case means office accommodation such that the incumbents, whether they be maintenance management, planning, technical records or quality staff, can carry out their designated tasks in a manner that contributes to good maintenance standards. In the smaller operators, the Authority may agree to these tasks being conducted from one office subject to being satisfied that there is sufficient space and that each task can be carried out without undue disturbance. Office accommodation should also include an adequate technical library and room for document consultation.
[Amdt. 2, 01.07.00]
AMC OPS 1.900 Quality system See JAR-OPS 1.900
1 An operator should establish a plan acceptable to the Authority to show when and how often the activities as required by JAR-OPS 1.890 will be monitored. In addition, reports should be produced at the completion of each monitoring investigation and include details of discrepancies of non compliance with procedures or requirements.
2 The feedback part of the system should address who is required to rectify discrepancies and non compliance in each particular case and the procedure to be followed if rectification is not completed within appropriate timescales. The procedure should lead to the Accountable Manager specified in JAR-OPS 1.175(h).
3 To ensure effective compliance with JAR-OPS 1.900 the following elements have been shown to work well:
a. Product sampling – the part inspection of a representative sample of the aeroplane fleet;
b. Defect sampling – the monitoring of defect rectification performance;
c. Concession sampling – the monitoring of any concession to not carry out maintenance on time;
d. On time maintenance sampling – the monitoring of when (flying hours/calendar time/flight cycles etc) aeroplanes and their components are brought in for maintenance;
e. Sampling reports of unairworthy conditions and maintenance errors.
Note that JAR-OPS 1.900 includes other self-explanatory monitoring elements.
IEM OPS 1.900 Quality system See JAR-OPS 1.900
The primary purpose of the Quality System is to monitor compliance with the approved procedures specified in an operator’s Maintenance Management Exposition to ensure compliance with Subpart M and thereby ensure the maintenance aspects of the operational safety of the aeroplanes. In particular, this part of the Quality System provides a monitor of the effectiveness of maintenance, reference JAR-OPS 1.890, and should include a feedback system to ensure that corrective actions are both identified and carried out in a timely manner.
AMC OPS 1.905(a) Maintenance Management exposition See JAR-OPS 1.905(a)
1 The purpose of the Maintenance Management Exposition is to set forth the procedures, means and methods of the operator. Compliance with its contents will assure compliance with JAR-OPS 1 Subpart M

requirements, which in conjunction with an appropriate JAR-145 Approved Maintenance Organisation Exposition, is a pre-requisite for obtaining an acceptance of the operator’s maintenance system by the Authority.
2 Where an operator is appropriately approved as a JAR-145 Approved Maintenance Organisation the Exposition of the maintenance organisation may form the basis of the Operator’s Maintenance Management Exposition in a combined document as follows:
JAR-145 Exposition
Part 1 Management
Part 2 Maintenance Procedures
Part L2 Additional Line Maintenance Procedures
Part 3 Quality System Procedures
Part 4 Contracted JAA Operators
Part 5 Appendices (sample of documents)
Part 3 must also cover the functions specified by JAR-OPS 1.900, Quality System.
Additional parts should be introduced covering the following:
Part 0 General Organisation
Part 6 JAR-OPS Maintenance Procedures
3 Where an operator is not approved in accordance with JAR-145 but has a maintenance contract with a JAR-145 Approved Maintenance Organisation, the Maintenance Management Exposition should comprise:
Part 0 General Organisation
Part 1 JAR-OPS Maintenance Procedures
Part 2 Quality System
Part 3 Contracted Maintenance
4 Personnel are expected to be familiar with those parts of the Exposition that are relevant to the maintenance and airworthiness co-ordination work they carry out.
5 The operator will need to specify in the Exposition who should amend the document, particularly where there are several parts.
6 The person responsible for the management of the Quality System should be responsible for monitoring and amending the Exposition unless otherwise agreed by the Authority, including associated procedures manuals, and the submission of proposed amendments to the Authority for approval. The Authority may agree a procedure, which will be stated in the amendment control section of the Exposition, defining the class of amendments which can be incorporated without the prior consent of the Authority.
7 The operator may use Electronic Data Processing (EDP) for publication of the maintenance management exposition. The maintenance management exposition should be made available to the Authority in a form acceptable to the Authority. Attention should be paid to the compatibility of EDP publication systems with the necessary dissemination of the maintenance management exposition, both internally and externally.
8. Part 0 “General Organisation” of the Maintenance Management Exposition should include a corporate commitment by the operator, signed by the Accountable Manager confirming that the Maintenance Management Exposition and any associated manuals define the organisation compliance with JAR-OPS 1 Subpart M and will be complied with at all times.
9 The accountable manager's exposition statement should embrace the intent of the following paragraph and in fact this statement may be used without amendment. Any modification to the statement should not alter the intent:

JAR-OPS 1 Subpart M SECTION 2
AMC OPS 1.905(a) (continued)
This exposition defines the organisation and procedures upon which the Authority* Approval under JAR-OPS 1 Subpart M is based.
These procedures are approved by the undersigned and must be complied with, as applicable, in order to ensure that all maintenance of .....(quote Operator’s name)...... fleet of aircraft is carried out on time to an approved standard.
It is accepted that these procedures do not override the necessity of complying with any new or amended regulation published by the Authority* from time to time where these new or amended regulations are in conflict with these procedures .
It is understood that the Authority* will approve this organisation whilst the Authority* is satisfied that the procedures are being followed and the work standard maintained. It is understood that the Authority* reserves the right to suspend, vary or revoke the JAR-OPS Subpart M maintenance system approval of the organisation, as applicable, if the Authority* has evidence that the procedures are not followed and the standards not upheld.
It is further understood that suspension or revocation of the approval of the maintenance system would invalidate the AOC.

AMC OPS 1.910(a) Operator’s Aeroplane Maintenance See JAR-OPS 1.910(a)
1 The aeroplane maintenance programme should be managed and presented by the operator to the Authority.
2 Where implementation of the content of an approved operator’s aeroplane maintenance programme is accomplished by an appropriately approved JAR-145 Approved Maintenance Organisation, it therefore follows that the JAR-145 Approved Maintenance Organisation should have access to the relevant parts of the approved operator’s aeroplane maintenance programme when the organisation is not the author. Implementation means preparation and planning of the maintenance tasks in accordance with the approved maintenance programme.
3 The aeroplane should only be maintained to one approved operator’s aeroplane maintenance programme at a given point in time. Where an operator wishes to change from one approved operator’s aeroplane maintenance programme to another such approved programme, a transfer Check/Inspection may need to be performed, as agreed with the Authority, in order to implement the change.
4 The operator’s aeroplane maintenance programme should contain a preface which will define the maintenance programme contents, the inspection standards to be applied, permitted variations to task frequencies and, where applicable, any procedure to escalate established check/inspection intervals. Appendix 1 to AMC OPS 1.910(a) & (b) provides detailed guidance on the content of an approved operator’s aeroplane maintenance programme.
01.09.04 2-M-10 Amendment 7
SECTION 2 JAR-OPS 1 Subpart M
AMC OPS 1.910(a) (continued)
5 Where an operator wishes to use an aeroplane with the initial operator’s aeroplane maintenance programme based upon the Maintenance Review Board Report (MRBR) process, any associated programme for the continuous surveillance of the reliability, or health monitoring of the aeroplane should be considered as part of the aeroplane maintenance programme.
6 Where an aeroplane type has been subjected to the MRBR process, an operator should normally develop the initial operator’s aeroplane maintenance programme based upon the MRBR.
7 The documentation supporting the development of operator’s aeroplane maintenance programmes for aeroplane types subjected to the MRBR process should contain identification cross reference to the MRBR tasks such that it is always possible to relate such tasks to the current approved operator’s aeroplane maintenance programme. This does not prevent the approved operator’s aeroplane maintenance programme from being developed in the light of service experience to beyond the MRBR recommendations but will show the relationship to such recommendations.
8 Some approved operator’s aeroplane maintenance programmes, not developed from the MRB Process, utilise reliability programmes. Such reliability programmes should be considered as a part of the approved maintenance programme.
9 Reliability programmes should be developed for aeroplane maintenance programmes based upon MSG logic or those that include condition monitored components or that do not contain overhaul time periods for all significant system components.
10 Reliability programmes need not be developed for aeroplane maintenance programmes of aeroplanes of 5 700 kg and below or that do contain overhaul time periods for all significant system components.
11. The purpose of a reliability programme is to ensure that the aeroplane maintenance programme tasks are effective and their periodicity is adequate. It therefore follows that the actions resulting from the reliability programme may be not only to escalate or delete maintenance task, but also to de-escalate or add maintenance tasks, as necessary.
12. A reliability programme provides an appropriate means of monitoring the effectiveness of the maintenance programme.

[AMC OPS 1.910(c) Operator’s Aeroplane Maintenance Programme See JAR-OPS 1.910(c)
1 Not withstanding AMC OPS 1.910(b) the Operator is to review mandatory information before compliance is required. Such information includes but is not limited to:
i. Airworthiness Limitations such as those required by JAR 23.1529 Appendix G and JAR 25.1529 Appendix H25.4 include where applicable mandatory replacement times of life limited parts, structural inspection intervals together with related structural inspection procedures.
ii. Maintenance considerations such as Certification Maintenance Requirements/ Certification Check Requirements) and those addressed by AMJ 25.1309 and AMJ 25-19 including where applicable mandatory tasks intended to detect latent safety-significant failures.]

JAR-OPS 1 Subpart M SECTION 2
AMC OPS 1.910([d]) Operator’s Aeroplane Maintenance See JAR-OPS 1.910(b)
1 The documentation issued by the Authority to approve the operator’s aeroplane maintenance programme may include details of who may issue certificates of release to service in a particular situation and may define which tasks are considered as base maintenance activity. Development of the approved operator’s aeroplane maintenance programme is dependent upon sufficient satisfactory in-service experience which has been properly processed. In general, the task being considered for escalation beyond the MRB limits should have been satisfactorily repeated at the existing frequency several times before being proposed for escalation. Appendix 1 to AMC OPS 1.910(a) & (b) gives further guidance.
2 The Authority may approve a part of or an incomplete operator’s aeroplane maintenance programme at the start of operation of a new aeroplane type or a new operator, subject to the limitation that the approved operator’s aeroplane maintenance programme is only valid for a period that does not exceed any required maintenance not yet approved. The following examples illustrate just two possibilities:
2.1 A new aeroplane type may not have completed the acceptance process for structural inspection or corrosion control. It therefore follows that the operator’s aeroplane maintenance programme cannot be approved as a complete programme but it is reasonable to approve for a limited period, say, 3 000 hrs or 1 year;
2.2 A new operator may not have established suitable maintenance arrangements for the high-life time checks. It therefore follows that the Authority may be unable to approve the complete operator’s aeroplane maintenance programme, preferring to opt for a limited period.
3 If the Authority is no longer satisfied that a safe operation can be maintained, the approval of an operator’s aeroplane maintenance programme or part of it may be suspended or revoked. Events giving rise to such action include:
3.1 An operator suspending the operation of that aeroplane type for at least one year;
3.2 Periodic review of the approved operator’s aeroplane maintenance programme by the Authority shows that the operator has failed to ensure that the programme reflects the maintenance needs of the aeroplane such that safe operation can be assured.
[Amdt. 7, 01.09.04]
AMC OPS 1.915 Operator’s aeroplane technical log See JAR-OPS 1.915
1 The operator’s aeroplane technical log is a system for recording defects and malfunctions discovered during the operation and for recording details of all maintenance carried out on the particular aeroplane to which the operator’s aeroplane technical log applies whilst that aeroplane is operating between scheduled visits to the base maintenance facility. In addition, it is used for recording operating information relevant to flight safety and should contain maintenance data that the operating crew need to know. Where a means of recording defects or malfunctions in the cabin or galleys that affect the safe operation of the aeroplane or the safety of its occupants, separate from the aeroplane technical log, is used, this should be regarded as forming part of the aeroplane technical log system.
2 The operators aeroplane technical log system may range from a simple single section document to a complex system containing many sections but in all cases it should include the information specified for the example used here which happens to use a 5 section document / computer system:
Section 1 should contain details of the registered name and address of the operator, the aeroplane type and the complete international registration marks of the aeroplane.
Section 2 should contain details of when the next scheduled maintenance is due, including, if relevant any out of phase component changes due before the next maintenance check. In addition this Section should contain the current Certificate of Release to Service, for the complete aeroplane, issued normally at the end of the last maintenance check.
01.09.04 2-M-12 Amendment 7
SECTION 2 JAR-OPS 1 Subpart M
AMC OPS 1.915 (continued)
NOTE: The flight crew does not need to receive such details if the next scheduled maintenance is controlled by other means acceptable
to the Authority.
Section 3 should contain details of all information considered necessary to ensure continued flight safety. Such information includes:
i. The aeroplane type and registration mark.
ii. The date and place of take-off and landing.
iii. The times at which the aeroplane took off and landed.
iv. The running total of flying hours, such that the hours to the next schedule maintenance can be determined. The flight crew does not need to receive such details if the next scheduled maintenance is controlled by other means acceptable to the Authority.
v. Details of any failure, defect or malfunction to the aeroplane affecting airworthiness or safe operation of the aeroplane including emergency systems, and any failure, defect or malfunctions in the cabin or galleys that affect the safe operation of the aeroplane or the safety of its occupants that are known to the commander. Provision should be made for the commander to date and sign such entries, including, where appropriate, the nil defect state for continuity of the record. Provision should be made for a Certificate of Release to Service or, if agreed by the Authority, the alternate abbreviated Certificate of Release to Service following rectification of a defect or any deferred defect or maintenance check carried out. Such a certificate appearing on each page of this section should readily identify the defect(s) to which it relates or the particular maintenance check as appropriate.
The alternate abbreviated certificate of release to service consists of the following statement “JAR 145.50 release to service” in place of the full certification statement specified in AMC 145.50(b) para 1.
When the JAA-NAA agrees to the use of the alternate abbreviated certificate of release to service, the introductory section of the technical log should include an example of the full certification statement from AMC 145.50(b) para 1 together with a note stating; “The alternate abbreviated certificate of release to service used in this technical log satisfies the intent of JAR 145.50(a) only. All other aspects of JAR 145.50(b) shall be complied with”.
vi. The quantity of fuel and oil uplifted and the quantity of fuel available in each tank, or combination of tanks, at the beginning and end of each flight; provision to show, in the same units of quantity, both the amount of fuel planned to be uplifted and the amount of fuel actually uplifted; provision for the time when ground de-icing and/or anti-icing was started and the type of fluid applied, including mixture ratio fluid/water.
vii. The pre-flight inspection signature.
In addition to the above it may be necessary to record the following supplementary information:
The time spent in particular engine power ranges where use of such engine power affects the life of the engine or engine module. Maximum or Inter Contingency Power are two examples.
The number of landings where landings affect the life of an aeroplane or aeroplane component.
Flight cycles or flight pressure cycles where such cycles affect the life of an aeroplane or aeroplane component.
NOTE 1: Where Section 3 is of the multisector ‘part removable’ type then such ‘part removable’ sections should contain all of the foregoing information where appropriate.
NOTE 2: Section 3 should be designed such that one copy of each page may remain on the aeroplane and one other copy may be retained on the ground until completion of the flight to which it relates. See also JAR-OPS 1.140 Information retained on the ground (Subpart B).
NOTE 3: Section 3 lay-out should be divided to show clearly what is required to be completed after flight and what is required to be completed in preparation for the next flight.
Section 4 should contain details of all deferred defects that affect or may affect the safe operation of the aeroplane and should therefore be known to the aeroplane commander. Each page of this section should be pre-printed with the operator’s name and page serial number and make provision for recording the following:
i. A cross reference for each deferred defect such that the original defect can be identified in the particular Section 3 Sector Record Page.
Amendment 7 2-M-13 01.09.04
JAR-OPS 1 Subpart M SECTION 2
AMC OPS 1.915 (continued)
ii. The original date of occurrence of the defect deferred.
iii. Brief details of the defect.
iv. Details of the eventual rectification carried out and its Certificate of Release to Service or a clear cross-reference back to the document that contains details of the eventual rectification.
Section 5 should contain any necessary maintenance support information that the aeroplane commander needs to know. Such information would include data on how to contact maintenance engineering if problems arise whilst operating the routes etc.
The Aeroplane Technical Log System can be either a paper or computer system or any combination of both methods.
[Amdt. 2, 01.07.00; Amdt. 3, 01.12.01]
AMC OPS 1.920 Maintenance Records See JAR-OPS 1.920
1 The operator should ensure that he always receives a complete JAR-145 Certificate of Release to Service such that the required records can be retained. The system to keep the maintenance records should be described in the operator’s maintenance management exposition or in the relevant JAR-145 exposition.
2 When an operator arranges for the relevant maintenance organisation to retain copies of the maintenance records on his behalf, he will nevertheless continue to be responsible for the records under JAR-OPS 1.920(b) relating to the preservation of records. If he ceases to be the operator of the aeroplane, he also remains responsible for transferring the records to any other person who becomes the operator of the aeroplane.
3 Keeping maintenance records in a form acceptable to the Authority normally means in paper form or on a computer database or a combination of both methods. Records stored in microfilm or optical disc form are also acceptable.
4 Paper systems should use robust material which can withstand normal handling and filing. The record should remain legible throughout the required retention period.
5 Computer systems should have at least one backup system which should be updated at least within 24 hours of any maintenance. Each terminal is required to contain programme safeguards against the ability of unauthorised personnel to alter the database.
6 Microfilming or optical storage of maintenance records may be carried out at any time. The records should be as legible as the original record and remain so for the required retention period.
7 Information on times, dates, cycles etc. as required by JAR-OPS 1.920 hereafter referred to as ‘summary maintenance records’ are those records that give an overall picture on the state of maintenance of the aeroplane and any life-limited aeroplane component. The current status of all life-limited aeroplane components should indicate the component life limitation, total number of hours, accumulated cycles or calendar time and the number of hours/cycles/time remaining before the required retirement time of the component is reached.
8 The current status of Airworthiness Directives (AD) should identify the applicable AD’s including revision or amendment numbers. Where an AD is generally applicable to the aeroplane or component type but is not applicable to the particular aeroplane or component, then this should be identified. The AD status includes the date when the AD was accomplished, and where the AD is controlled by flight hours or flight cycles it should include the aeroplane or engine or component total flight hours or cycles, as appropriate. For repetitive AD’s, only the last application should be recorded in the AD status. The status should also specify which part of a multi-part directive has been accomplished and the method, where a choice is available in the AD.
9 Details of current modification and repairs means the substantiating data supporting compliance with the airworthiness requirements. This can be in the form of a Supplemental Type Certificate, Service Bulletin, Structural Repair Manual or similar approved document. If the airworthiness data for modification
01.09.04 2-M-14 Amendment 7
SECTION 2 JAR-OPS 1 Subpart M
AMC OPS 1.920(continued)
and repair is produced by the JAR-145 organisation in accordance with existing national regulations all detailed documentation necessary to define the change and its approval should be retained.
10 The substantiating data may include:
a. Compliance programme;
b. Master drawing or drawing list, production drawings, installation instructions;
c. Engineering reports (static strength, fatigue, damage tolerance, fault analysis, etc.);
d. Ground and flight test programme and results;
e. Mass and balance change data;
f. Maintenance and repair manual supplements;
g. Maintenance programme changes and instructions for continuing airworthiness; and
h. Aeroplane flight manual supplement.
11 Maintenance records should be stored in a safe way with regard to fire, flood, theft and alteration.
12 Computer backup discs, tapes etc., should be stored in a different location from that containing the current working discs, tapes, etc. and in a safe environment.

AMC OPS 1.920(c) Maintenance Records See JAR-OPS 1.920(c)
1 Where an operator terminates his operation, all retained maintenance records should be passed on to the new operator or, if there is no operator, stored as required by the Authority.
2 A “permanent transfer“ does not generally include the dry lease-out of an aeroplane when the duration of the lease agreement is less than 6 months. However the Authority should be satisfied that all maintenance records necessary for the duration of the lease agreement are transferred to the lessee or made accessible to them.

[1.1.20] Each maintenance task quoted should be defined in a definition section of the Programme.
2 Programme basis
2.1 Operator’s Aeroplane Maintenance programmes should normally be based upon the Maintenance Review Board Report, where available, and the Type Certificate holder’s Maintenance Planning Document or Chapter 5 of the Maintenance Manual, (i.e. the Manufacturer’s recommended Maintenance Programme). The structure and format of these maintenance recommendations may be re-written by the operator to better suit his operation and control of the particular maintenance programme.
2.2 For a newly type-certificated aeroplane, where no previously approved Maintenance Programme exists, it will be necessary for the operator to comprehensively appraise the manufacturer’s recommendations (and the MRB Report where applicable), together with other airworthiness information, in order to produce a realistic Programme for approval.
2.3 For existing aeroplane types it is permissible for the operator to make comparisons with maintenance programmes previously approved. It should not be assumed that a Programme approved for another operator will automatically be approved for the operator. Evaluation is to be made of aircraft/fleet utilisation, landing rate, equipment fit and, in particular, the experience of the maintenance organisation must be assessed. Where the Authority is not satisfied that the proposed maintenance programme can be used as is by the Operator, the Authority should request the Operator to introduce appropriate changes to it, such as additional maintenance tasks or de-escalation of check frequencies, or to develop the aeroplane initial maintenance programme based upon the Manufacturer’s recommendations.
3 Amendments
3.1 Amendments (revisions) to the approved Programme should be raised by the operator, to reflect changes in the type certificate holder’s recommendations, modifications, service experience, or as required by the Authority. Reliability programmes form one important method of updating approved programmes.
4 Permitted variations to maintenance periods
4.1 The Operator may only vary the periods prescribed by the Programme with the approval of the Authority.

1 General
1.1 Type rating training when required may be conducted separately or as part of conversion training.
When the type rating training is conducted as part of conversion training, the conversion training
programme should include all the requirements of JAR-FCL.
2 Ground training
2.1 Ground training should comprise a properly organised programme of ground instruction by training
staff with adequate facilities, including any necessary audio, mechanical and visual aids. However, if the
aeroplane concerned is relatively simple, private study may be adequate if the operator provides suitable
manuals and/or study notes.
2.2 The course of ground instruction should incorporate formal tests on such matters as aeroplane
systems, performance and flight planning, where applicable.
3 Emergency and safety equipment training and checking
3.1 On the initial conversion course and on subsequent conversion courses as applicable, the following
should be addressed:
a. Instruction on first aid in general (Initial conversion course only); Instruction on first aid as relevant
to the aeroplane type of operation and crew complement including where no cabin crew are required to be
carried (Initial and subsequent);
b. Aeromedical topics including:
i. Hypoxia;
ii. Hyperventilation;
iii. Contamination of the skin/eyes by aviation fuel or hydraulic or other fluids;
iv. Hygiene and food poisoning; and
v. Malaria;
ACJ/AMC/IEM N — FLIGHT CREW
JAR-OPS 1 Subpart N SECTION 2
01.09.04 2-N-2 Amendment 7
c. The effect of smoke in an enclosed area and actual use of all relevant equipment in a simulated
smoke-filled environment;
d. The operational procedures of security, rescue and emergency services.
e. Survival information appropriate to their areas of operation (e.g. polar, desert, jungle or sea) and
training in the use of any survival equipment required to be carried.
f. A comprehensive drill to cover all ditching procedures should be practised where flotation
equipment is carried. This should include practice of the actual donning and inflation of a lifejacket, together
with a demonstration or film of the inflation of life-rafts and/or slide-rafts and associated equipment. This
practice should, on an initial conversion course, be conducted using the equipment in water, although
previous certificated training with another operator or the use of similar equipment will be accepted in lieu of
further wet-drill training.
g. Instruction on the location of emergency and safety equipment, correct use of all appropriate drills,
and procedures that could be required of flight crew in different emergency situations. Evacuation of the
aeroplane (or a representive training device) by use of a slide where fitted should be included when the
Operations Manual procedure requires the early evacuation of flight crew to assist on the ground.
4 Aeroplane/STD training
4.1 Flying training should be structured and sufficiently comprehensive to familiarise the flight crew
member thoroughly with all aspects of limitations and normal /abnormal and emergency procedures
associated with the aeroplane and should be carried out by suitably qualified Type Rating Instructors and/or
Type Rating Examiners. For specialised operations such as steep approaches, ETOPS, [ ] All Weather
Operations, or [QFE operations,] additional training should be carried out.
4.2 In planning aeroplane/STD training on aeroplanes with a flight crew of two or more, particular
emphasis should be placed on the practice of Line Orientated Flying Training (LOFT) with emphasis on
Crew Resource Management (CRM).
4.3 Normally, the same training and practice in the flying of the aeroplane should be given to copilots
as well as commanders. The ‘flight handling’ sections of the syllabus for commanders and copilots alike
should include all the requirements of the operator proficiency check required by JAR-OPS 1.965.
4.4 Unless the type rating training programme has been carried out in a Flight Simulator usable for
zero flight-time (ZFT) conversion, the training should include at least 3 takeoffs and landings in the
aeroplane.
5 Line flying under supervision
5.1 Following completion of aeroplane/STD training and checking as part of the operator’s conversion
course, each flight crew member should operate a minimum number of sectors and/or flying hours under the
supervision of a flight crew member nominated by the operator and acceptable to the Authority.
5.2 The minimum sectors/hours should be specified in the Operations Manual and should be
determined by the following:
a. Previous experience of the flight crew member;
b. Complexity of the aeroplane; and
c. The type and area of operation.
5.3 A line check in accordance with JAR-OPS 1.945(a)(8) should be completed upon completion of line
flying under supervision.
6 System Panel Operator
6.1 Conversion training for system panel operators should approximate to that of pilots.
6.2 If the flight crew includes a pilot with duties of a systems panel operator, he should, after training
and the initial check in these duties, operate a minimum number of sectors under the supervision of a
nominated additional flight crew member. The minimum figures should be specified in the Operations

Line Flying under Supervision
See JAR-OPS 1.945
1 Introduction
1.1 Line flying under supervision provides the opportunity for a flight crew member to carry into
practice the procedures and techniques he has been made familiar with during the ground and flying
training of a conversion course. This is accomplished under the supervision of a flight crew member
specifically nominated and trained for the task. At the end of line flying under supervision the respective
crew member should be able to perform a safe and efficient flight conducted within the tasks of his crew
ember station.
1.2 The following minimum figures for details to be flown under supervision are guidelines for operators
to use when establishing their individual requirements.
2 Turbo jet aircraft
a. Co-pilot undertaking first conversion course:
i. Total accumulated 100 hours or minimum 40 sectors;
b. Co-pilot upgrading to commander:
i. Minimum 20 sectors when converting to a new type;
ii. Minimum 10 sectors when already qualified on the aeroplane type.

See [ ] [ACJ] OPS [(IEM)] 1.943/1.945(a)(9)/1.955(b)(6)/1.965(e)
1 General
1.1 Crew Resource Management (CRM) is the effective utilisation of all available resources (e.g. crew
members, aeroplane systems, supporting facilities and persons) to achieve safe and efficient operation.
1.2 The objective of CRM is to enhance the communication and management skills of the flight crew
member concerned. The emphasis is placed on the non-technical aspects of flight crew performance.
2 Initial CRM Training
2.1 Initial CRM training programmes are designed to provide knowledge of, and familiarity with, human
factors relevant to flight operations. The course duration should be a minimum of one day for single pilot
operations and two days for all other types of operations. It should cover all elements in Table 1, column (a)
to the level required by column (b) (Initial CRM training).
2.2
a. A CRM trainer should possess group facilitation skills and should at least:
i. Have current commercial air transport experience as a flight crew member; and have either:
(A) Successfully passed the Human Performance and Limitations (HPL) examination whilst recently
obtaining the ATPL (see the requirements applicable to the issue of Flight Crew Licences); or,
(B) If holding a Flight Crew Licence acceptable under JAR-OPS 1.940(a)(3) prior to the introduction of
HPL into the ATPL syllabus, followed a theoretical HPL course covering the whole syllabus of the HPL
examination.
AMC OPS 1.945 (continued)
JAR-OPS 1 Subpart N SECTION 2
01.08.06 2-N-4 Amendment 11
ii. Have completed initial CRM training; and
iii. Be supervised by suitably qualified CRM training personnel when conducting their first initial CRM
training session; and
iv. Have received additional education in the fields of group management, group dynamics and
personal awareness.
b. Notwithstanding paragraph (a) above, and when acceptable to the Authority;
i. A flight crew member holding a recent qualification as a CRM trainer may continue to be a CRM
trainer even after the cessation of active flying duties;
ii. An experienced non-flight crew CRM trainer having a knowledge of HPL, may also continue to be a
CRM trainer;
iii. A former flight crew member having knowledge of HPL may become a CRM trainer if he maintains
adequate knowledge of the operation and aeroplane type and meets the provisions of paragraphs 2.2a ii, iii
and iv.
2.3 An operator should ensure that initial CRM training addresses the nature of the operations of the
company concerned, as well as the associated procedures and the culture of the company. This will include
areas of operations which produce particular difficulties or involve adverse climatic conditions and any
unusual hazards.
2.4 If the operator does not have sufficient means to establish initial CRM training, use may be made of
a course provided by another operator, or a third party or training organisation acceptable to the Authority.
In this event the operator should ensure that the content of the course meets his operational requirements.
When crew members from several companies follow the same course, CRM core elements should be
specific to the nature of operations of the companies and the trainees concerned.
2.5 A flight crew member’s CRM skills should not be assessed during initial CRM training.
3 Conversion Course CRM training
3.1 If the flight crew member undergoes a conversion course with a change of aeroplane type, all
elements in Table 1, column (a) should be integrated into all appropriate phases of the operator’s
conversion course and covered to the level required by column (c) (conversion course when changing type),
unless the two operators use the same CRM training provider.
3.2 If the flight crew member undergoes a conversion course with a change of operator, all elements in
Table 1, column (a) should be integrated into all appropriate phases of the operator’s conversion course
and covered to the level required by column (d) (conversion course when changing operator).
3.3 A flight crew member should not be assessed when completing elements of CRM training which
are part of an operator’s conversion course.
4 Command course CRM training
4.1 An operator should ensure that all elements in Table 1, column (a) are integrated into the command
course and covered to the level required by column (e) (command course).
4.2 A flight crew member should not be assessed when completing elements of CRM training which
are part of the command course, although feedback should be given.
5 Recurrent CRM training
5.1 An operator should ensure that :
a. Elements of CRM are integrated into all appropriate phases of recurrent training every year; and
that all elements in Table 1, column (a) are covered to the level required by column (f) (recurrent training);
and that modular CRM training covers the same areas over a maximum period of 3 years.
b. Relevant modular CRM training is conducted by CRM trainers qualified according to paragraph 2.2.
5.2 A flight crew member should not be assessed when completing elements of CRM training which
are part of recurrent training.

7 Co-ordination between flight crew and cabin crew training
7.1 Operators should, as far as is practicable, provide combined training for flight crew and cabin crew
including briefing and debriefing.
7.2 There should be an effective liaison between flight crew and cabin crew training departments.
Provision should be made for flight and cabin crew instructors to observe and comment on each others
training.
8 Assessment of CRM Skills (See [ ] [ACJ] OPS [(IEM)] 1.943/1.945(a)(9)/1.955(b)(6)/1.965(e),
paragraph 4)
8.1 Assessment of CRM skills should:
a. Provide feedback to [the crew and] the individual and serve to identify retraining [where needed];
and
b. Be used to improve the CRM training system.
8.2 Prior to the introduction of CRM skills assessment, a detailed description of the CRM methodology
including terminology used, acceptable to the Authority, should be published in the Operations Manual.
8.3 Operators should establish procedures, [including retraining,] to be applied in the event that
personnel do not achieve or maintain the required standards (Appendix 1 to 1.1045, Section D, paragraph
3.2 refers).
8.4 If the operator proficiency check is combined with the Type Rating revalidation/renewal check, the
assessment of CRM skills will satisfy the Multi Crew Co-operation requirements of the Type Rating
revalidation/renewal. This assessment will not affect the validity of the Type Rating.

1 CRM training should reflect the culture of the operator and be conducted by means of both
classroom training and practical exercises including group discussions and accident and serious incident
reviews to analyse communication problems and instances or examples of a lack of information or crew
management.
2 Whenever it is practicable to do so, consideration should be given to conducting relevant parts of
CRM training in synthetic training devices which reproduce, in an acceptable way, a realistic operational
environment and permit interaction. This includes, but is not limited to, simulators with appropriate LOFT
scenarios.
3 It is recommended that, whenever possible, initial CRM training be conducted in a group session
outside the company premises so that the opportunity is provided for flight crew members to interact and
communicate away from the pressures of their usual working environment.
4 Assessment of CRM Skills
4.1 Assessment [of CRM skills] is the process of observing, recording, interpreting and [ ] [debriefing
crews’ and crew member’s] performance and knowledge [ ] [using an acceptable methodology] in the
context of overall performance. It includes the concept of self-critique, and feedback which can be given
continuously during training or in summary following a check. [In order to enhance the effectiveness of the
programme this methodology should, where possible, be agreed with flight crew representatives.]
4.2 [ ] [NOTECHS or other acceptable] methods of assessment should be [used] [ ]. [T]he selection
criteria and training requirements of the assessors and their relevant qualifications, knowledge and skills
[should be established].
4.3 [ ] [Methodology of CRM skills assessment]:
a. An operator should establish the CRM training programme including an agreed terminology. This
should be evaluated with regard to methods, length of training, depth of subjects and effectiveness.
b. A training and standardisation programme for training personnel should then be established.
c. [ ] [The assessment should be based on the following principles:
i. only observable, repetitive behaviours are assessed,
ii. the assessment should positively reflect any CRM skills that result in enhanced safety,
iii. assessments should include behaviour which contributes to a technical failure, such technical
failure being errors leading to an event which requires debriefing by the person conducting the line check,
iv. the crew and, where needed, the individual are orally debriefed.
4.4 De-identified summaries of all CRM assessments by the operator should be used to provide
feedback to update and improve the operator’s CRM training.]
5. Levels of Training.
a. Overview. When Overview training is required it will normally be instructional in style. Such training
should refresh knowledge gained in earlier training.
b. In Depth. When In Depth Training is required it will normally be interactive in style and should
include, as appropriate, case studies, group discussions, role play and consolidation of knowledge and
skills. Core elements should be tailored to the specific needs of the training phase being undertaken.

Crew Resource Management - Use of Automation
See JAR-OPS 1.945(a)(9)
1 The conversion course should include training in the use and knowledge of automation and in the
recognition of systems and human limitations associated with the use of automation. An operator should
therefore ensure that a flight crew member receives training on:
a. The application of the operations policy concerning the use of automation as stated in the
Operations Manual; and
b. System and human limitations associated with the use of automation.
2 The objective of this training should be to provide appropriate knowledge, skills and behavioural
patterns for managing and operating automated systems. Special attention should be given to how
automation increases the need for crews to have a common understanding of the way in which the system
performs, and any features of automation which make this understanding difficult.

one sector as pilot flying and on another sector as pilot non-flying.
2 However, where an operator’s procedures require integrated flight preparation, integrated cockpit
initialisation and that each pilot performs both flying and non-flying duties on the same sector, then the line
check may be performed on a single sector.

Emergency and Safety Equipment Training
See JAR-OPS 1.965(d)
1 The successful resolution of aeroplane emergencies requires interaction between flight crew and
cabin crew and emphasis should be placed on the importance of effective co-ordination and two-way
communication between all crew members in various emergency situations.
2 Emergency and Safety Equipment training should include joint practice in aeroplane evacuations
so that all who are involved are aware of the duties other crew members should perform. When such
practice is not possible, combined flight crew and cabin crew training should include joint discussion of
emergency scenarios.
3 Emergency and safety equipment training should, as far as is practicable, take place in conjunction
with cabin crew undergoing similar training with emphasis on co-ordinated procedures and two-way
communication between the flight deck and the cabin.
[Amdt. 3. 01.12.01]
IEM OPS 1.965
Recurrent training and checking
See JAR-OPS 1.965
1 Line checks, route and aerodrome competency and recent experience requirements are intended
to ensure the crew member’s ability to operate efficiently under normal conditions, whereas other checks
and emergency and safety equipment training are primarily intended to prepare the crew member for
abnormal/emergency procedures.
2 The line check is performed in the aeroplane. All other training and checking should be performed
in the aeroplane of the same type or an STD or, an approved flight simulator or, in the case of emergency
JAR-OPS 1 Subpart N SECTION 2
01.08.06 2-N-8 Amendment 11
and safety equipment training, in a representative training device. The type of equipment used for training
and checking should be representative of the instrumentation, equipment and layout of the aeroplane type
operated by the flight crew member.
3 Line Checks
3.1 The line check is considered a particularly important factor in the development, maintenance and
refinement of high operating standards, and can provide the operator with a valuable indication of the
usefulness of his training policy and methods. Line checks are a test of a flight crew member’s ability to
perform a complete line operation satisfactorily, including preflight and postflight procedures and use of the
equipment provided, and an opportunity for an overall assessment of his ability to perform the duties
required as specified in the Operations Manual. The route chosen should be such as to give adequate
representation of the scope of a pilot’s normal operations. When weather conditions preclude a manual
landing, an automatic landing is acceptable. The line check is not intended to determine competence on any
particular route. The commander, or any pilot who may be required to relieve the commander, should also
demonstrate his ability to ‘manage’ the operation and take appropriate command decisions.
4 Proficiency Training and Checking
4.1 When an STD is used, the opportunity should be taken, where possible, to use Line Oriented Flying
Training (LOFT).
4.2 Proficiency training and checking for System Panel Operators should, where practicable, take place
at the same time a pilot is undergoing proficiency training and checking.

This training should be conducted every year and can form part of other recurrent training. It should take the
form of classroom instruction, discussion or video or other similar means.
2 If a Flight Simulator is available for the type of aeroplane operated, practical training on pilot
incapacitation should be carried out at intervals not exceeding 3 years.

Route and aerodrome competence qualification
See JAR-OPS 1.975
1 Route competence
1.1 Route competence training should include knowledge of:
a. Terrain and minimum safe altitudes;
b. Seasonal meteorological conditions;
c. Meteorological, communication and air traffic facilities, services and procedures;
d. Search and rescue procedures; and
e. Navigational facilities associated with the route along which the flight is to take place.
1.2 Depending on the complexity of the route, as assessed by the operator, the following methods of
familiarisation should be used:
a. For the less complex routes, familiarisation by self-briefing with route documentation, or by means
of programmed instruction; and
b. For the more complex routes, in addition to sub-paragraph 1.2.a above, inflight familiarisation as a
commander, co-pilot or observers under supervision, or familiarisation in a Synthetic Training Device using
a database appropriate to the route concerned.
2 Aerodrome competence
2.1 The Operations Manual should specify a method of categorisation of aerodromes and specify the
requirements necessary for each of these categories. If the least demanding aerodromes are Category A,
Category B and C would be applied to progressively more demanding aerodromes. The Operations Manual
should specify the parameters which qualify an aerodrome to be considered Category A and then provide a
list of those aerodrome categorised as B or C.
2.2 All aerodromes to which an operator operates should be categorised in one of these three
categories. The operator’s categorisation should be acceptable to the Authority.
3 Category A. An aerodrome which satisfies all of the following requirements:
a. An approved instrument approach procedure;
b. At least one runway with no performance limited procedure for take-off and/or landing;
c. Published circling minima not higher than 1 000 feet above aerodrome level; and
d. Night operations capability.
4 Category B. An aerodrome which does not satisfy the Category A requirements or which
requires extra considerations such as:
a. Non-standard approach aids and/or approach patterns; or
b. Unusual local weather conditions; or
c. Unusual characteristics or performance limitations; or
d. Any other relevant considerations including obstructions, physical layout, lighting etc.
4.1 Prior to operating to a Category B aerodrome, the commander should be briefed, or self-briefed by
means of programmed instruction, on the Category B aerodrome(s) concerned and should certify that he
has carried out these instructions.
5 Category C. An aerodrome which requires additional considerations to a Category B aerodrome.
5.1 Prior to operating to a Category C aerodrome, the commander should be briefed and visit the
aerodrome as an observer and/or undertake instruction in a Flight Simulator. This instruction should be
certified by the operator.

1 Terminology
1.1 Line Oriented Evaluation (LOE). LOE is an evaluation methodology used in the ATQP to evaluate
trainee performance, and to validate trainee proficiency. LOEs consist of flight simulator scenarios that are
developed by the operator in accordance with a methodology approved as part of the ATQP. The LOE
should be realistic and include appropriate weather scenarios and in addition should fall within an
acceptable range of difficulty. The LOE should include the use of validated event sets to provide the basis
for event based assessment. See paragraph 1.4 below.
1.2 Line Oriented Quality Evaluation (LOQE). LOQE is one of the tools used to help evaluate the
overall performance of an operation. LOQEs consist of line flights that are observed by appropriately
qualified operator personnel to provide feedback to validate the ATQP. The LOQE should be designed to
look at those elements of the operation that are unable to be monitored by FDM or Advanced FDM
programmes.
1.3 Skill based training. Skill based training requires the identification of specific knowledge and skills.
The required knowledge and skills are identified within an ATQP as part of a task analysis and are used to
provide targeted training.
1.4 Event based Assessment. This is the assessment of flight crew to provide assurance that the
required knowledge and skills have been acquired. This is achieved within an LOE. Feedback to the flight
crew is an integral part of event based assessment.]

Requirements, Scope and Documentation of the Programme
See Appendix 1 to JAR-OPS 1.978(b)(1)
1 The documentation should demonstrate how the operator should establish the scope and
requirements of the programme. The documentation should include:
1.1 How the ATQP should enable the operator to establish an alternative training programme that
substitutes the requirements as listed in JAR-OPS 1 E and N. The programme should demonstrate that the
operator is able to improve the training and qualification standards of flight crew to a level that exceeds the
standard prescribed in JAR-OPS 1.
1.2 The operator’s training needs and established operational and training objectives.
1.3 How the operator defines the process for designing of and gaining approval for the operator’s flight
crew qualification programmes. This should include quantified operational and training objectives identified
by the operator’s internal monitoring programmes. External sources may also be used.
1.4 How the programme will:
a. Enhance safety;
b. Improve training and qualification standards of flight crew;
c. Establish attainable training objectives;
d. Integrate CRM in all aspects of training;
e. Develop a support and feedback process to form a self-correcting training system;
f. Institute a system of progressive evaluations of all training to enable consistent and uniform
monitoring of the training undertaken by flight crew;
g. Enable the operator to be able to respond to the new aeroplane technologies and changes in the
operational environment;

Task Analysis
See Appendix 1 to JAR-OPS 1.978(b)(2)
1 For each aeroplane type/class to be included within the ATQP the operator should establish a
systematic review that determines and defines the various tasks to be undertaken by the flight crew when
operating that type(s)/class. Data from other types/class may also be used. The analysis should determine
and describe the knowledge and skills required to complete the various tasks specific to the aeroplane
type/class and/or type of operation. In addition the analysis should identify the appropriate behavioural
markers that should be exhibited. The task analysis should be suitably validated in accordance with
Appendix 1 to JAR-OPS 1.978(c)(iii). The task analysis, in conjunction with the data gathering
programme(s) permit the operator to establish a programme of targeted training together with the
associated training objectives described in ACJ to Appendix 1 to JAR-OPS 1.978(b)(3) paragraph (c)

2 An LOE event should comprise of tasks and sub-tasks performed by the crew under a specified set
of conditions. Each event has one or more specific training targets/objectives, which require the
performance of a specific manoeuvre, the application of procedures, or the opportunity to practise cognitive,
communication or other complex skills. For each event the proficiency that is required to be achieved should
be established. Each event should include a range of circumstances under which the crews’ performance is
to be measured and evaluated. The conditions pertaining to each event should also be established and they
may include the prevailing meteorological conditions (ceiling, visibility, wind, turbulence etc.); the
operational environment (navigation aid inoperable etc.); and the operational contingencies (non-normal
operation etc.).
3 The markers specified under the operator’s ATQP should form one of the core elements in
determining the required qualification standard. A typical set of markers are shown in the table below:

Data Monitoring/Analysis Programme
See Appendix 1 to JAR-OPS 1.978(b)(9)
1 The data analysis programme should consist of:
1.1 A Flight Data Monitoring (FDM) programme: This programme should include systematic evaluation
of operational data derived from equipment that is able to record the flight profile and relevant operational
information during flights conducted by the operator’s aeroplane. Data collection should reach a minimum
of 60% of all relevant flights conducted by the operator before ATQP approval is granted. This proportion
may be increased at the discretion of the Authority.
1.2 An Advanced FDM when an extension to the ATQP is requested: An advanced FDM programme is
determined by the level of integration with other safety initiatives implemented by the operator, such as the
operator’s Quality System. The programme should include both systematic evaluations of data from an
FDM programme and flight crew training events for the relevant crews. Data collection should reach a
minimum of 80% of all relevant flights and training conducted by the operator. This proportion may be
varied at the discretion of the Authority.
2 The purpose of either an FDM or advanced FDM programme is to enable the operator to:
2.1 Provide data to support the programme’s implementation and justify any changes to the ATQP;
2.2 Establish operational and training objectives based upon an analysis of the operational
environment;
2.3 Monitor the effectiveness of flight crew training and qualification.
3 Data Gathering.
3.1 FDM programmes should include a system that captures flight data, and then transforms the data
into an appropriate format for analysis. The programme should generate information to assist the operations
safety personnel in analysing the data. The analysis should be made available to the ATQP postholder.

AMC OPS 1.980
Operation on more than one type or variant
See JAR-OPS 1.980
1 Terminology
1.1 The terms used in the context of the requirement for operation of more than one type or variant
have the following meaning:
a. Base aeroplane. An aeroplane, or a group of aeroplanes, designated by an operator and used as a
reference to compare differences with other aeroplane types/variants within an operator’s fleet.
b. Aeroplane variant. An aeroplane, or a group of aeroplanes, with the same characteristics but which
have differences from a base aeroplane which require additional flight crew knowledge, skills, and or
abilities that affect flight safety.
c. Credit. The acceptance of training, checking or recent experience on one type or variant as being
valid for another type or variant because of sufficient similarities between the two types or variants.
d. Differences training. See JAR-OPS 1.950(a)(1).
e. Familiarisation training. See JAR-OPS 1.950(a)(2).
f. Major change. A change, or changes, within an aeroplane type or related type, which significantly
affect the flight crew interface with the aeroplane (e.g. flight characteristics, procedures, design/number of
propulsion units, change in number of required flight crew).
g. Minor change. Any change other than a major change.
h. Operator Difference Requirements (ODRs). A formal description of differences between types or
variants flown by a particular operator.
1.2 Training and checking difference levels
a. Level A
i. Training. Level A training can be adequately addressed through self-instruction by a crew member
through page revisions, bulletins or differences handouts. Level A introduces a different version of a system
or component which the crew member has already shown the ability to use and understand. The differences
result in no, or only minor, changes in procedures.
ii. Checking. A check related to differences is not required at the time of training. However, the crew
member is responsible for acquiring the knowledge and may be checked during proficiency checking.
b. Level B
i. Training. Level B training can be adequately addressed through aided instruction such as
slide/tape presentation, computer based instruction which may be interactive, video or classroom
instruction. Such training is typically used for part-task systems requiring knowledge and training with,
possibly, partial application of procedures (eg. fuel or hydraulic systems etc.).
ii. Checking. A written or oral check is required for initial and recurrent differences training.
ACJ to Appendix 1 to JAR-OPS 1.978(c)(1)(i) (continued)
JAR-OPS 1 Subpart N SECTION 2
01.03.06 2-N-16 Amendment 10
c. Level C
i. Training. Level C training should be accomplished by use of “hands on” STDs qualified according
to JAR-STD 2A, Level 1 or higher. The differences affect skills, abilities as well as knowledge but do not
require the use of “real time” devices. Such training covers both normal and non-normal procedures (for
example for flight management systems) .
ii. Checking. An STD used for training level C or higher is used for a check of conversion and
recurrent training. The check should utilise a “real time” flight environment such as the demonstration of the
use of a flight management system. Manoeuvres not related to the specific task do not need to be tested.
d. Level D
i. Training. Level D training addresses differences that affect knowledge, skills and abilities for which
training will be given in a simulated flight environment involving, “real time” flight manoeuvres for which the
use of an STD qualified according to JAR-STD 2A, Level 1 would not suffice, but for which motion and
visual clues are not required. Such training would typically involve an STD as defined in JAR-STD 2A, Level
2.
ii. Checking. A proficiency check for each type or variant should be conducted following both initial
and recurrent training. However, credit may be given for manoeuvres common to each type or variant and
need not be repeated. Items trained to level D differences may be checked in STDs qualified according to
JAR-STD 2A, Level 2. Level D checks will therefore comprise at least a full proficiency check on one type or
variant and a partial check at this level on the other.
e. Level E
i. Training. Level E provides a realistic and operationally oriented flight environment achieved only by
the use of Level C or D Flight Simulators or the aeroplane itself. Level E training should be conducted for
types and variants which are significantly different from the base aeroplane and/or for which there are
significant differences in handling qualities.
ii. Checking. A proficiency check on each type or variant should be conducted in a level C or D
Flight Simulator or the aeroplane itself. Either training or checking on each Level E type or variant should be
conducted every 6 months. If training and checking are alternated, a check on one type or variant should be
followed by training on the other so that a crew member receives at least one check every 6 months and at
least one check on each type or variant every 12 months.

1.1 Use of the methodology described below is acceptable to the Authority as a means of evaluating
aeroplane differences and similarities to justify the operation of more than one type or variant, and when
credit is sought.
2 ODR Tables
2.1 Before requiring flight crew members to operate more than one type or variant, operators should
first nominate one aeroplane as the Base Aeroplane from which to show differences with the second
aeroplane type or variant, the ‘difference aeroplane’, in terms of technology (systems), procedures, pilot
handling and aeroplane management. These differences, known as Operator Difference Requirements
(ODR), preferably presented in tabular format, constitute part of the justification for operating more than one
type or variant and also the basis for the associated differences/familiarisation training for the flight crew.

4.1 ODR 1 - Aeroplane general
a. The general characteristics of the difference aeroplane should be compared with the base
aeroplane with regard to:
i. General dimensions and aeroplane design;
ii. Flight deck general design;
iii. Cabin layout;
iv. Engines (number, type and position);
v. Limitations (flight envelope).

JAR-OPS 1 Subpart N SECTION 2
01.03.06 2-N-18 Amendment 10
4.2 ODR 2 - Aeroplane systems
a. Consideration should be given to differences in design between the difference aeroplane and the
base aeroplane. This comparison should be completed using the ATA 100 index to establish system and
subsystem classification and then an analysis performed for each index item with respect to main
architectural, functional and/or operations elements, including controls and indications on the systems
control panel.
4.3 ODR 3 - Aeroplane manoeuvres (operational differences)
a. Operational differences encompass normal, abnormal and emergency situations and include any
change in aeroplane handling and flight management. It is necessary to establish a list of operational items
for consideration on which an analysis of differences can be made. The operational analysis should take the
following into account:
i. Flight deck dimensions (e.g. size, cut-off angle and pilot eye height);
ii. Differences in controls (eg. design, shape, location, function);
iii. Additional or altered function (flight controls) in normal or abnormal conditions;
iv. Procedures;
v. Handling qualities (including inertia) in normal and abnormal configurations;
vi. Performance in manoeuvres;
vii. Aeroplane status following failure;
vii. Management (e.g. ECAM, EICAS, navaid selection, automatic checklists).
4.4 Once the differences for ODR 1, ODR 2 and ODR 3 have been established, the consequences of
differences evaluated in terms of Flight Characteristics (FLT CHAR) and Change of Procedures (PROC
CHNG) should be entered into the appropriate columns.
4.5 Difference Levels - crew training, checking and currency
4.5.1 The final stage of an operator’s proposal to operate more than one type or variant is to establish
crew training, checking and currency requirements. This may be established by applying the coded
difference levels from Table 4 to the Compliance Method column of the ODR Tables.
5 Differences items identified in the ODR systems as impacting flight characteristics, and/or
procedures, should be analysed in the corresponding ATA section of the ODR manoeuvres. Normal,
abnormal and emergency situations should be addressed accordingly.

Operation on more than one type or variant - Philosophy and Criteria
See JAR-OPS 1.980(b)
1 Philosophy
1.1 The concept of operating more than one type or variant depends upon the experience, knowledge
and ability of the operator and the flight crew concerned.
1.2 The first consideration is whether or not the two aeroplane types or variants are sufficiently similar
to allow the safe operation of both.
1.3 The second consideration is whether or not the types or variants are sufficiently similar for the
training, checking and recent experience items completed on one type or variant to replace those required
on the similar type or variant. If these aeroplanes are similar in these respects, then it is possible to have
credit for training, checking and recent experience. Otherwise, all training, checking and recent experience
requirements prescribed in Subpart N should be completed for each type or variant within the relevant
period without any credit.
2 Differences between aeroplane types or variants
2.1 The first stage in any operator’s submission for crew multi-type or variant operations is to consider
the differences between the types or variants. The principal differences are in the following three areas:
a. Level of technology. The level of technology of each aircraft type or variant under consideration
encompasses at least the following design aspects:
i. Flight deck layout (e.g. design philosophy chosen by a manufacturer);
ii. Mechanical versus electronic instrumentation;
iii. Presence or absence of Flight Management System (FMS);
iv. Conventional flight controls (hydraulic, electric or manual controls) versus fly-by-wire;
v. Side-stick versus conventional control column;
vi. Pitch trim systems;
vii. Engine type and technology level (e.g. jet/turboprop/piston, with or without automatic protection
systems.
b. Operational differences. Consideration of operational differences involves mainly the pilot machine
interface, and the compatibility of the following:
i. Paper checklist versus automated display of checklists or messages (e.g. ECAM, EICAS) during all
procedures;
ii. Manual versus automatic selection of navaids;
iii. Navigation equipment;
iv. Aircraft weight and performance.
c. Handling characteristics. Consideration of handling characteristics includes control response, crew
perspective and handling techniques in all stages of operation. This encompasses flight and ground
characteristics as well as performance influences (eg. number of engines). The capabilities of the autopilot
and autothrust systems may affect handling characteristics as well as operational procedures.
3 Training, checking and crew management. Alternating training and proficiency checking may be
permitted if the submission to operate more than one type or variant shows clearly that there are sufficient
similarities in technology, operational procedures and handling characteristics.

Crew Resource Management Training
See JAR-OPS 1.1005/1.1010/1.1015 and Appendix 2 to JAR-OPS 1.1005/1.1010/1.1015
1 Introduction
1.1 Crew Resource Management (CRM) should be the effective utilisation of all available resources
(e.g. crew members, aeroplane systems, and supporting facilities) to achieve safe and efficient operation.
1.2 The objective of CRM should be to enhance the communication and management skills of the crew
member, as well as the importance of effective co-ordination and two-way communication between all crew
members.
1.3 CRM training should reflect the culture of the operator, the scale and scope of the operation
together with associated operating procedures and areas of operation which produce particular difficulties.
2 General Principles for CRM Training for Cabin Crew
2.1 Cabin crew CRM training should focus on issues related to cabin crew duties, and therefore, should
be different from flight crew CRM training. However, the co-ordination of the tasks and functions of flight
crew and cabin crew should be addressed.
2.2 Whenever it is practicable to do so, operators should provide combined training for flight crew and
cabin crew, including feedback, as appropriate to Appendix 2 to JAR-OPS 1.1005/1.1010/1.1015 Table 1,
Columns (d), (e) and (f). This is of particular importance for senior cabin crew members.
2.3 Where appropriate, CRM principles should be integrated into relevant parts of cabin crew training.
2.4 CRM training should include group discussions and the review of accidents and incidents (case-
based studies).
2.5 Whenever it is practicable to do so, relevant parts of CRM training should form part of the training
conducted in cabin mock-ups or aircraft.
2.6 CRM training should take into account the items listed in Appendix 2 to JAR-OPS 1.1005/1.1010/1.1015
Table 1. CRM training courses should be conducted in a structured and realistic manner.
2.7 The operator should be responsible for the quality of all CRM training, including any training
provided by sub-contractors/third parties (in accordance with JAR-OPS 1.035 and AMC-OPS 1.035,
paragraph 5.1).
2.8 CRM training for cabin crew should include, an Introductory CRM Course, Operator’s CRM
Training, and Aeroplane Type Specific CRM, all of which may be combined.
2.9 There should be no assessment of CRM skills. Feedback from instructors or members of the group
on individual performance should be given during training to the individuals concerned.
3 Introductory CRM Course
3.1 The Introductory CRM Course should provide cabin crew members with a basic knowledge of
Human Factors relevant to the understanding of CRM.
3.2 Cabin crew members from different operators may attend the same Introductory CRM Course
provided that operations are similar (see paragraph 1.3).
IEM OPS 1.1000(c) (continued)
JAR-OPS 1 Subpart O SECTION 2
01.08.06 2-O-4 Amendment 11
4 Operator’s CRM Training
4.1 Operator’s CRM training should be the application of the knowledge gained in the Introductory
CRM Course to enhance communication and co-ordination skills of cabin crew members relevant to the
operator’s culture and type of operation.
5 Aeroplane Type Specific CRM
5.1 Aeroplane Type Specific CRM should be integrated into all appropriate phases of the operator’s
conversion training on the specific aeroplane type.
5.2 Aeroplane Type Specific CRM should be the application of the knowledge gained in previous CRM
training on the specifics related to aircraft type, including, narrow/wide bodied aeroplanes, single/multi deck
aeroplanes, and flight crew and cabin crew composition.
6 Annual Recurrent Training
6.1 When a cabin crew member undergoes annual recurrent training, CRM training should be
integrated into all appropriate phases of the recurrent training and may include stand-alone modules.
6.2 When CRM elements are integrated into all appropriate phases of the recurrent training, the CRM
elements should be clearly identified in the training syllabus.
6.3 Annual Recurrent CRM Training should include realistic operational situations.
6.4 Annual Recurrent CRM Training should include areas as identified by the operator’s accident
prevention and flight safety programme (see JAR-OPS 1.037).
7 CRM Training for Senior Cabin Crew
7.1 CRM training for Senior Cabin Crew Members should be the application of knowledge gained in
previous CRM training and operational experience relevant to the specific duties and responsibilities of a
Senior Cabin Crew Member.
7.2 The senior cabin crew member should demonstrate ability to manage the operation and take
appropriate leadership/management decisions.
8 CRM Instructor Qualifications
8.1 The operator should ensure that all personnel conducting relevant training are suitably qualified to
integrate elements of CRM into all appropriate training programmes.
8.2 A training and standardisation programme for CRM instructors should be established.
8.3 Cabin crew CRM instructors should:
a. Have suitable experience of commercial air transport as a cabin crew member; and
b. Have received instruction on Human Factors Performance Limitations (HPL); and
c. Have completed an Introductory CRM Course and the Operator’s CRM training; and
d. Have received instructions in training skills in order to conduct CRM courses; and
e. Be supervised by suitably qualified CRM instructors when conducting their first CRM training
course.
8.4 An experienced non-cabin crew CRM instructor may continue to be a cabin crew CRM instructor,
provided that the provisions of paragraph 8.3 b) to e) are satisfied and that a satisfactory knowledge has
been demonstrated of the nature of the operation and the relevant specific aeroplane types. In such
circumstances, the operator should be satisfied that the instructor has a suitable knowledge of the cabin
crew working environment.
8.5 Instructors integrating elements of CRM into conversion, recurrent training, or Senior Cabin Crew
Member training, should have acquired relevant knowledge of human factors and have completed
appropriate CRM training.
9 Co-ordination between flight crew and cabin crew training departments
9.1 There should be an effective liaison between flight crew and cabin crew training departments.
Provision should be made for flight and cabin crew instructors to observe and comment on each others

1 A number of the provisions of JAR-OPS require the prior approval of the Authority. As a consequence, the related sections of the Operations Manual should be subject to special attention. In practice, there are two possible options: a. The Authority approves a specific item (e.g. with a written response to an application) which is then included in the Operations Manual. In such cases, the Authority merely checks that the Operations Manual accurately reflects the content of the approval. In other words, such text has to be acceptable to the Authority; or b. An operator’s application for an approval includes the related, proposed, Operations Manual text in which case, the Authority’s written approval encompasses approval of the text. 2 In either case, it is not intended that a single item should be subject to two separate approvals. 3 The following list indicates only those elements of the Operations Manual which require specific approval by the Authority.

1 Appendix 1 to JAR-OPS 1.1045 prescribes in detail the operational policies, instructions, procedures and other information to be contained in the Operations Manual in order that operations personnel can satisfactorily perform their duties. When compiling an Operations Manual, an operator may take advantage of the contents of other relevant documents. Material produced by the operator for Part B of the Operations Manual may be supplemented with or substituted by applicable parts of the Aeroplane Flight Manual required by JAR-OPS 1.1050 or, where such a document exists, by an Aeroplane Operating
Manual produced by the manufacturer of the aeroplane. [In the case of performance class B aeroplanes. it is acceptable that a “Pilot Operating Handbook” (POH) or equivalent document is used as Part B of the
Operations Manual, provided that the POH covers the necessary items.] For Part C of the Operations Manual, material produced by the operator may be supplemented with or substituted by applicable Route Guide material produced by a specialised professional company. 2 If an operator chooses to use material from another source in his Operations Manual he should either copy the applicable material and include it directly in the relevant part of the Operations Manual, or the Operations Manual should contain a statement to the effect that a specific manual(s) (or parts thereof) may be used instead of the specified part(s) of the Operations Manual.
3 If an operator chooses to make use of material from an alternative source [(e.g. a Route Manual
producer, an aeroplane manufacturer or a training organisation)] as explained above, this does not absolve the operator from the responsibility of verifying the applicability and suitability of this material.
(See JAR-OPS 1.1040(k)). [Any material received form an external source should be given its status by a

Operations Manual Structure
See JAR-OPS 1.1045(c) & Appendix 1 to JAR-OPS 1.1045
1 JAR-OPS 1.1045(a) prescribes the main structure of the Operations Manual as follows: Part A – General/Basic; Part B – Aeroplane Operating Matters – Type related; Part C – Route and Aerodrome Instructions and Information;
JAR-OPS 1 SECTION 2
Amendment 10 2-P-4 01.03.06
Part D – Training. 2 JAR-OPS 1.1045 (c) requires the operator to ensure that the detailed structure of the Operations Manual is acceptable to the Authority. 3 Appendix 1 to JAR-OPS 1.1045 contains a comprehensively detailed and structured list of all items to be covered in the Operations Manual. Since it is believed that a high degree of standardisation of Operations Manuals within the JAA will lead to improved overall flight safety, it is strongly recommended that the structure described in this IEM should be used by operators as far as possible. A List of Contents based upon Appendix 1 to JAR-OPS 1.1045 is given below. 4 Manuals which do not comply with the recommended structure may require a longer time to be accepted/approved by the Authority. 5 To facilitate comparability and usability of Operations Manuals by new personnel, formerly employed by another operator, operators are recommended not to deviate from the numbering system used in Appendix 1 to JAR-OPS 1.1045. If there are sections which, because of the nature of the operation, do not apply, it is recommended that operators maintain the numbering system described below and insert ‘Not applicable’ or ‘Intentionally blank’ where appropriate.

Signature or equivalent
See JAR-OPS 1.1055(a)(12)
1 JAR-OPS 1.1055 requires a signature or its equivalent. This IEM gives an example of how this can be arranged where normal signature by hand is impracticable and it is desirable to arrange the equivalent verification by electronic means. 2 The following conditions should be applied in order to make an electronic signature the equivalent of a conventional hand-written signature:
i. Electronic ‘signing’ should be achieved by entering a Personal Identification Number (PIN) code with appropriate security etc.;
ii. Entering the PIN code should generate a print-out of the individual’s name and professional capacity on the relevant document(s) in such a way that it is evident, to anyone having a need for that information, who has signed the document;
iii. The computer system should log information to indicate when and where each PIN code has been entered;
iv. The use of the PIN code is, from a legal and responsibility point of view, considered to be fully equivalent to signature by hand;
v. The requirements for record keeping remain unchanged; and.
vi. All personnel concerned should be made aware of the conditions associated with electronic signature and should confirm this in writing.

aeroplane after that animal has been carried when it is impracticable to load or unload the goods at the time of the flight on which the animal is carried.
[Ch. 1, 01.03.98]
IEM OPS 1.1160(b)(4) Medical Aid for a Patient See JAR-OPS 1.1160(b)(4)
1 Gas cylinders, drugs, medicines, other medical material (such as sterilising wipes) and wet cell or lithium batteries are the dangerous goods which are normally provided for use in flight as medical aid for a patient. However, what is carried may depend on the needs of the patient. These dangerous goods are not those which are a part of the normal equipment of the aeroplane.
2 The dangerous goods referred to in paragraph 1 above may also be carried on a flight made by the same aeroplane to collect a patient or after that patient has been delivered when it is impracticable to load or unload the goods at the time of the flight on which the patient is carried.
IEM OPS 1.1160(b)(5) Scope – Dangerous goods carried by passengers or crew See JAR-OPS 1.1160(b)(5)
1 The Technical Instructions exclude some dangerous goods from the requirements normally applicable to them when they are carried by passengers or crew members, subject to certain conditions.
2 For the convenience of operators who may not be familiar with the Technical Instructions, these requirements are repeated below.
3 The dangerous goods which each passenger or crew member can carry are:
a. Alcoholic beverages [containing more than 24% but] not exceeding 70% alcohol by volume, when [in retail packagings not exceeding 5 litres and with a total not exceeding 5 litres per person;]
b. Non-radioactive medicinal or toilet articles (including aerosols, hair sprays, perfumes, medicines containing alcohol); and, in checked baggage only, aerosols which are non-flammable, non-toxic and without subsidiary risk, when for sporting or home use. The net quantity of each single article should not exceed 0·5 litre or 0·5 kg and the total net quantity of all articles should not exceed 2 litres or 2 kg;
c. Safety matches or a lighter for the person’s own use and when carried on him. ‘Strike anywhere’ matches, lighters containing unabsorbed liquid fuel (other than liquefied gas), lighter fuel and lighter refills are not permitted;
d. A hydrocarbon gas-powered hair curler, providing the safety cover is securely fitted over the heating element. Gas refills are not permitted;
e. Small carbon dioxide gas cylinders worn for the operation of mechanical limbs and spare cylinders of similar size if required to ensure an adequate supply for the duration of the journey;
f. Radioisotopic cardiac pacemakers or other devices (including those powered by lithium batteries) implanted in a person, or radio-pharmaceuticals contained within the body of a person as a result of medical treatment;
g. A small medical or clinical thermometer containing mercury, for the person’s own use, when in its protective case;
h. Dry ice, when used to preserve perishable items, providing the quantity of dry ice does not exceed 2 kg and the package permits the release of the gas. Carriage may be in carry-on (cabin) or checked baggage, but when in checked baggage the operator’s agreement is required;
i. When carriage is allowed by the operator, small gaseous oxygen or air cylinders for medical use;
j. When carriage is allowed by the operator, [not more than two] small carbon dioxide cylinders fitted into a self-inflating life-jacket and [not more than two] spare cylinders;
IEM OPS 1.1160(b)(3) (continued)
SECTION 2 JAR-OPS 1 Subpart R
Amendment 3 2-R-3 01.12.01
k. When carriage is allowed by the operator, wheelchairs or other battery-powered mobility aids with non-spillable batteries, providing the equipment is carried as checked baggage. The battery should be securely attached to the equipment, be disconnected and the terminals insulated to prevent accidental short circuits;
l. When carriage is allowed by the operator, wheelchairs or other battery-powered mobility aids with spillable batteries, providing the equipment is carried as checked baggage. When the equipment can be loaded, stowed, secured and unloaded always in an upright position, the battery should be securely attached to the equipment, be disconnected and the terminals insulated to prevent accidental short circuits. When the equipment cannot be kept upright, the battery should be removed and carried in a strong, rigid packaging, which should be leak-tight and impervious to battery fluid. The battery in the packaging should be protected against accidental short circuits, be held upright and be surrounded by absorbent material in sufficient quantity to absorb the total liquid contents. The package containing the battery should have on it ‘Battery wet, with wheelchair’ or ‘Battery wet, with mobility aid’, bear a ‘Corrosives’ label and be marked to indicate its correct orientation. The package should be protected from upset by securement in the cargo compartment of the aeroplane. The commander should be informed of the location of a wheelchair or mobility aid with an installed battery or of a packed battery;
m. When carriage is allowed by the operator, cartridges for sporting weapons, providing they are in Division 1.4S (See Note), they are for that person’s own use, they are securely boxed and in quantities not exceeding 5 kg gross mass and they are in checked baggage. Cartridges with explosive or incendiary projectiles are not permitted;
NOTE: Division 1.4S is a classification assigned to an explosive. It refers to cartridges which are packed or designed so that any
dangerous effects from the accidental functioning of one or more cartridges in a package are confined within the package unless it has
been degraded by fire, when the dangerous effects are limited to the extent that they do not hinder fire fighting or other emergency
response efforts in the immediate vicinity of the package. Cartridges for sporting use are likely to be within Division 1.4S.
n. When carriage is allowed by the operator, a mercurial barometer [or mercurial thermometer] in carry-on (cabin) baggage when in the possession of a representative of a government weather bureau or similar official agency. The barometer [or thermometer] should be packed in a strong packaging having inside a sealed inner liner or bag of strong leak-proof and puncture resistant material impervious to mercury closed in such a way as to prevent the escape of mercury from the package irrespective of its position. The commander should be informed when such a barometer [or thermometer] is to be carried;
o. When carriage is allowed by the operator, heat producing articles (i.e. battery operated equipment, such as under-water torches and soldering equipment, which if accidentally activated will generate extreme heat which can cause a fire), providing the articles are in carry-on (cabin) baggage. The heat producing component or energy source should be removed to prevent accidental functioning;

AMC OPS 1.1215(b) Provision of information See JAR-OPS 1.1215(b)
1 Information to Passengers
1.1 Information to passengers should be promulgated in such a manner that passengers are warned as to the types of dangerous goods that must not be carried on board an aeroplane.
1.2 As a minimum, this information should consist of:
a. Warning notices or placards sufficient in number and prominently displayed, at each of the places at an airport where tickets are issued and passengers checked in, in aeroplane boarding areas and at any other place where passengers are checked in; and
b. A warning with the passenger ticket. This may be printed on the ticket or on a ticket wallet or on a leaflet.
1.3 The information to passengers may include reference to those dangerous goods which may be carried.
2 Information to Other Persons
2.1 Information to persons offering cargo for transport by air should be promulgated in such a manner that those persons are warned as to the need to properly identify and declare dangerous goods.
2.2 As a minimum this information should consist of warning notices or placards sufficient in number and prominently displayed at any location where cargo is accepted.
3 General
3.1 Information should be easily understood and identify that there are various classes of dangerous goods.

AMC OPS 1.1220 Training See JAR-OPS 1.1220
1 Application for Approval of Training Programmes
[Applications for approval of training programmes should indicate how the training will be carried out. Training intended to give general information and guidance may be by any means including handouts, leaflets, circulars, slide presentations, videos, etc, and may take place on-the-job or off-the-job. Training intended to give an in-depth and detailed appreciation of the whole subject or particular aspects of it should be by formal training courses, which should include a written examination, the successful passing of which ] [ will result in the issue of the proof of qualification. Applications for formal training courses should include

SECTION 2 JAR-OPS 1 Subpart R
Amendment 3 2-R-5 01.12.01
the course objectives, the training programme syllabus/curricula and examples of the written examination to be undertaken.]
2 Instructors. Instructors should have knowledge not only of training techniques but also of the transport of dangerous goods by air, in order that the subject be covered fully and questions adequately answered.
3 [Areas of training. The areas of training given in Tables 1 and 2 of JAR-OPS 1.1220 are applicable whether the training is for general information and guidance or to give an in-depth and detailed appreciation. The extent to which any area of training should be covered is dependent upon whether it is for general information or to give in-depth appreciation. Additional areas not identified in Tables 1 and 2 may be needed, or some areas omitted, depending on the responsibilities of the individual.]
4 Levels of Training
4.1 There are two levels of training:
[a. Where it is intended to give an in-depth and a detailed appreciation of the whole subject or of the area(s) being covered, such that the person being trained gains in knowledge so as to be able to apply the detailed requirements of the Technical Instructions. This training should include establishing, by means of a written examination covering all the areas of the training programme, that a required minimum level of knowledge has been acquired; or]
b. Where it is intended to give general information [and] guidance about the area(s) being covered, such that the person being trained receives an overall awareness of the subject. [This training should include establishing by means of a written or oral examination covering all areas of the training programme, that a required minimum level of knowledge has been acquired.]
4.2 In the absence of other guidance, the staff referred to in JAR-OPS 1.1220(c)(1) should receive training to the [extent] identified in sub-paragraph 4.1.a above; all other staff referred to in JAR-OPS 1.1220(b) and (c) should receive training to the [extent] identified in sub-paragraph 4.1.b above. However, where flight crew or other crew members, such as loadmasters, are responsible for checking the dangerous goods to be loaded, their training should also be to the [extent] identified in paragraph 4.1.a above.
5 Training in Emergency Procedures. The training in emergency procedures should include as a minimum:
a. For those personnel covered by JAR-OPS 1.1220(b) and (c), except for crew members whose emergency procedures training is covered in sub-paragraphs 5b or 5c (as applicable) below:
i. Dealing with damaged or leaking packages; and
ii. Other actions in the event of ground emergencies arising from dangerous goods;
b. For flight crew members:
i. Actions in the event of emergencies in flight occurring in the passenger cabin or in the cargo compartments; and
ii. The notification to Air Traffic Services should an in-flight emergency occur (See JAR-OPS 1.420(e)).
c. For crew members other than flight crew members:
i. Dealing with incidents arising from dangerous goods carried by passengers; or
ii. Dealing with damaged or leaking packages in flight.
6 Recurrent training. Recurrent training should cover the areas in Table 1 or Table 2 relevant to initial Dangerous Goods training unless the responsibility of the individual has changed.
[7 Test to verify understanding. It is necessary to have some means of establishing that a person has gained in understanding as a result of training; this is achieved by requiring the person to undertake a test. The complexity of the test, the manner of conducting it and the questions asked should be commensurate with the duties of the person being trained; and the test should demonstrate that the training has been adequate. If the test is completed satisfactorily a certificate should be issued confirming this.]

IEM OPS 1.1220 Training See JAR-OPS 1.1220
1 Areas of Training. The areas of training identified in Tables 1 and 2 of JAR-OPS 1.1220 are applicable whether the training is:
a. For general information and guidance; or
b. To give an in-depth and detailed appreciation of the subject.
1.1 The [extent] to which the training should be covered and whether areas not identified in Table 1 or Table 2 need to be added [or the identified areas varied,] is dependent on the responsibilities of the person being trained. In particular, if a crew member is a loadmaster the appropriate areas of training required may be those in column 4 of Table 2 and not those in column 5. [Also, if an operator carries only cargo, those areas relating to passengers and their baggage may be omitted from the training.]
2 How to Achieve Training
2.1 Training providing general information and guidance is intended to give a general [appreciation] of the requirements for the transport by air of dangerous goods. It may be achieved by means of handouts, leaflets, circulars, slide presentations, videos, etc, or a mixture of several of these means. The training does not need to be given by a formal training course [and may take place ‘on-the-job’ or ‘off-the-job’.]
2.2 Training providing in-depth guidance and a detailed appreciation of the whole subject or particular areas of it is intended to give a level of knowledge necessary for the application of the requirements for the transport by air of dangerous goods. It should be given by a formal training course which takes place at a time when the person is not undertaking normal duties. The course may be by means of tuition or as a self-study programme or a mixture of both of these. It should cover all the areas of dangerous goods relevant to the person receiving the training, although areas not likely to be relevant may be omitted (for instance, training in the transport of radioactive materials may be excluded where they will not be carried by the operator).
