PRELIMINARY COCKPIT PREPARATION

(CM2 Duty)
APU (If required) ....................................................................................................................................START

Perform the APU fire protection system test, if not already performed, as described in CM2 Cockpit
Preparation.

Move the start pump switch to ON (or, if electrical power is available, the right aft fuel tank pump
switch to ON) and check the R INLET FUEL PRES LO annunciation extinguishes.

Verify APU LEFT and RIGHT Bus switches in OFF, APU FIRE CONTROL switch in NORM, APU AIR
switch in OFF and APU DOORS switch in AUTO. Move and hold APU MASTER switch to START,
then release. Observe APU OIL PRESS LOW annunciation and APU STARTER ON light come on.

Observe RPM and EGT increase.

At about 35% RPM verify the APU STARTER ON light goes off.
If APU STARTER ON light does not go off at about 35% RPM, shutdown immediately the APU by
moving the APU FIRE CONTROL switch to OFF & AGENT ARM. After APU shutdown, return switch
to NORM and call maintenance.

Verify APU OIL PRESS LOW annunciation extinguishes at or prior to 95% RPM.
If APU OIL PRESS LOW annunciation does not extinguish by 95 % RPM, shutdown immediately the
APU by moving the APU FIRE CONTROL switch to OFF & AGENT ARM. After APU shutdown,
return switch to NORM and call maintenance.

Verify APU stabilizes in normal operating range.

Note: Normal EGT idle value are within 200°C to 400°C in no load idle condition.

Check the APU PWR AVAIL LIGHT is on.

If APU PWR AVAIL light does not come on, reset the APU generator (one time only)

Rotate the meter selector to APU position and check voltage and frequency indications are normal
(115 ± 3 V; 400 ± 10 Hz).

Move, one at a time, the APU LEFT and RIGHT Bus switches to ON and verify the corresponding
power in use (blue) light comes on.

Check the following lights/annunciations are off: L/R AC BUS OFF, AC & DC EMER BUS OFF and
DC BUS OFF.
Check the APU AC load within limits.

When AC electrical power is available, move the right aft fuel pump switch to ON and the start pump
switch to OFF.

External Power (If APU not in use) ............................................................................................. ESTABLISH

Check the EXT PWR AVAIL LIGHT is on.

Air Conditioning System ........................................................................................................ AS REQUIRED

With the APU operating and electrical power in use, move the APU air switch to ON and check that
pneumatic pressure is available.

NOTE: Normally idle APU EGT rises momentarily when the APU air switch is moved to ON.
Then, if all pneumatic powered systems are off, EGT returns to the original idle value.

CAUTION: If EGT remains high (the most probable cause is pneumatic duct leak), move
APU air switch, and APU master switch to OFF and call maintenance.

Open the pneumatic x-feed valves and verify the cabin pressure control lever is in auto (up) and the
cabin outflow valve position indicator is in full aft DECR (VALVE OPEN) position.

CAUTION: Do not attempt to slow down outflow valve motion acting on the wheel.

NOTES: There is a 60 second time delay after the APU is started before the load control
valve will open.
If the cabin temp is 24 °C or higher, move APU air switch to AIR COND COLDER.

If APU is the pneumatic air source and cabin temperature requirements can be maintained with
reduced bleed flow, move APU Normal/Economy switch to ECON position.

Move (one at a time) both air condition supply switches to AUTO.

Observe associated supply air pressure indicator in the normal range.

NOTE: Due to high electrical starting loads of the heat exchanger cooling fans, the air
conditioning systems should be turned on one at a time.

Rotate the cabin temperature selectors to the twelve o'clock AUTO position. The temperature
control valve will be driven automatically to the position required to achieve the selected temperature
(approximately 22 °C).

operation of the battery charger).

NOTES:
• During battery charging, when the battery state of charge is low, the approximate battery
ampere reading will be a steady (non- -pulsing) 40 amps which will decrease as the battery
becomes fully charged. Verification that batteries are not discharging and that battery voltage
is within normal limits is accomplished as follows:
• Place Meter Selector to BATT AMP position and verify batteries are not discharging as
indicated by a needle centered or to the left. A needle displaced to the right indicates the
battery is discharging.
• Place Meter Selector to BATT VOLT position and verify the battery voltage is within normal
limits (29±4VDC).
• Verify the BATTERY CHARGER Annunciator is not displayed.
• If the battery amperage indicates in a steady mode to the left, it may be the battery has not
had sufficient time to charge. The crew may continue through engine start and taxi. However,
all requirements of the emergency electrical power check must be met before completing the
Before Takeoff Checklist.
• The battery switch must be in ON to enable the battery charger to operate.

ENGINE START (cont’d)

CAUTION: Check door and stairway lights are off before attempting Towing or Pushback
operations.

Engine (StartingOrder2 - 1) .............................................................................................................. START 1

NOTES:
−
Before starting the engine, to avoid an hang / hot start, check residual EGT is below 100°C.
Engine motoring shortens cool down time considerably.
− If APU air is used, allow APU parameters stabilization before starting engine number one.
Too rapid engine start sequence may cause an increase of APU EGT with APU load
thermostat operation and consequent bleed air reduction with associated insufficient start
torque.
This condition will probably cause a hot start.

Engine Start .................................................................................................................................. MONITOR 2

After CM2 has announced ”Before Start Checklist completed”, the CM1 inform on engine starting
sequence and proceed with Ground Communication procedure. CM1 announce ”Engine
number . . . .”, move and hold the related engine start switch to ON.

NOTE: If the engine start switch is inadvertently released, allow engine N 2 compressor to
stop and request ground personnel confirmation before attempting another start.

Observe that START VALVE OPEN annunciation displays and that pneumatic pressure drops.

NOTE: If pneumatic pressure does not decrease due to start valve failed closed, release the
ENG START switch.

CM1 and CM2 observe N2 RPM, hydraulic pressure and oil pressure increasing.

NOTE: If START VALVE OPEN annunciation displays but no N2 RPM increase is observed
within a few seconds, monitor hydraulic pressure, oil pressure and N 1 RPM increasing and
assume a faulty N 2 indicator. Move fuel shutoff lever to ON at 5% N 1 RPM and realease
engine start switch at 12% to 20% N 1 RPM.
 Normal Procedures

ABNORMAL START CASES

IF No oil pressure rises during start,

CM1: Abort start.

CM1 and CM2 observe N1 RPM increase before N2 RPM indication has reached 20%.

IF No N1 RPM indication by 20 % N2 RPM,

CM1: Abort start and call maintenance to ascertain free movement of N1 shaft.

At maximum motoring N2 RPM, CM2 call ”Maximum Motoring”, CM1 move fuel shutoff
lever to ON and keep hand on lever until all engine indications are stabilized. CM2 start
timing and as soon as fuel flow indicates, call ”Fuel Flow”.

NOTE: Moving fuel shutoff lever to ON when N2 reaches maximum motoring RPM
(maximum motoring is defined as no N 2 RPM changed for 5 seconds) and N1 RPM
indicates positive rotation, will improve the probability of a good start. Minimum N2
RPM for moving fuel shutoff lever to ON is 20%. If N2 RPM indicator is inoperative,
move fuel shutoff lever to ON at 5% N1.

CM1 and CM2 observe that fuel flow is normal.

NOTES:
• Initial fuel flow for normal start is approximately 360 kg/h.
• In case of significantly higher (455 kg/h or more) or lower (330 kg/h or less) initial
fuel flow, starting problems may be expected.

IF Initial fuel flow is 500 kg/h or more, or display flashing,

CM1: Abort start.

CM2 call ”EGT” and verify that EGT rises within 20 seconds from fuel shutoff lever in ON.
CM1 and CM2 monitor EGT rising, and continued to monitor EGT until N2 is stabilized:
50-61%.

IF EGT does not rise within 20 seconds from fuel shutoff lever in ON,

CM1: Abort start.

CAUTION: Do not rotate the engine ignition selector to other positions (A, B or
OVRD) until engine rotation has ceased and fuel shutoff lever is in OFF. One reset of
tripped circuit breaker may be attempted after a cooling period of approximately 2
minutes. If the circuit breaker trips again, do not attempt another reset.

NOTES:
• An abnormal high rate of EGT increase (or EGT display flashing) is indicative of hot
start.
• The ground starting EGT limit is 475° C.
 Normal Procedures
DC 9/80 II
OPERATIONS MANUAL 26/09/18
Chapter 2 - 30/60

IF EGT indications rapidly reaches 50°C below the corresponding start limit and continues to rise, or
EGT display flashing (~450° C),

CM1: Monitor the EGT display and abort start if necessary to prevent exceeding EGT limits. Record
EGT peak. If EGT indications has exceeded start limits Maintenance action is required prior to next
start.

NOTE: When fires are encountered on the ground they are most likely to be tailpipe
or internal fires which occur during engine start or engine shutdown. Normally the
ground crew notices the fires first. However, high EGT may be another indication of
internal fire.

CAUTION: Tailpipe fires are not displayed in the cockpit. The first notification of a
tailpipe fire may be from an external source. Discharging the engine fire
extinguishing agent will not extinguish the fire. If the fire cannot be extinguished by
motoring, or if motoring is not possible, the use of ground fire fighting equipment may
be required.

IF Tailpipe fire or torching,

If cockpit start indications are normal, continue start procedure. Monitor EGT and fuel flow indicators
to idle. Continue to operate engine at idle. If fire goes out, continue flight preparation and report start
incident for maintenance investigation. If fire continues or cockpit indications are abnormal, CM1:
abort start. To blow-out the engine re-engage starter at any N2 RPM below 20% and keep it engaged
until fire goes out.

At 40% N2 RPM, CM2 call ”40%” and CM1 release the engine start switch.

NOTE: If N2 RPM indicator is inoperative release start switch at 12-20% N1.

CM1 and CM2 observe START VALVE OPEN annunciation extinguished and all other engine
annunciations are extinguished.

IF Premature release of engine start switch with fuel shutoff lever ON,

CM1: Abort start.

CM1 and CM2 monitor engine stabilization at idle. CM2 stop and reset timing.

NOTE: Sub-idle vibration felt during start-up phases, that go out at the idle
stabilized speed of the engine, should be considered normal provided the same are
not associated to an abnormal engine behavior.

CM1 and CM2 verify that engine parameters stabilize at the following approximate idle values: EGT
300-480°C, N1 22-30%, N2 50-61%, F/F 270-500 k/h, Oil Pressure 40-55 PSI.

NOTE: Idle EGT (bleeds on) will normally not exceed 480° C. If exceeded, an
abnormal condition may be indicated.

AIR FOIL Anti-lce Switches . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . AS REQUIRED 1

Air foil anti-ice should be on whenever icing conditions exist or are expected.

Air foil anti-ice should be on prior to start of takeoff roll when:

- icing conditions exist in the immediate vicinity of the departure airport, or
- icing conditions are expected, along both the departure and the one engine out route, at or
below one engine out acceleration altitude.

Icing conditions can exist when ram air temperature is below 6 degrees C and there is visible
moisture in the air. In addition. to the temperatures below 6 degrees C, be alert for ice buildup on the
windshield wipers or edges of the windshields.

The higher the temperature, the higher the cloud liquid water content and the more severe will be
the icing conditions. At temperatures below -20 degrees C, icing conditions encountered
should be less severe. However, heavy icing has on occasion been reported at temperatures as low
as -60 degrees C.

When airfoil ice protection is required:

PNEU X-FEED VALVE Levers.................................................................................................................. OPEN

AIR FOIL Ice Protect Sw(s) ............................................................................................................................ON

Move one switch at a time to ON in order to prevent cabin surge due to pneumatic pressure increasing.

PNEU PRESS Indicator..................................................................................................ABOVE YELLOW ARC

Note: If airfoil ice protect switch was moved to ON when on the ground the system will operate after
nose gear lift-off.

Ice Protect Annunciations............................................................................................................................ OFF

Notes: L and R PROT TEMP LOW and AIRFOIL ICE PRES ABNML Annunciations may come on but
will go off within 1 minute. This is a normal indication. However, the L and R PROT TEMP LOW ann
may also come on with engines at low power. In order to provide adequate ice protection, power
should be increased enough to extinguish the annun (s). Either or both L & R ICE PROT TEMP
HIGH Ann may come on for a short period of time at takeoff rotation when airfoil ice protection
system has be turned on prior to takeoff. The ANTI-ICE SUPPLY HIGH ann. may come on
momentarily at takeoff rotation when airfoil ice protection system has been turned on prior to takeoff.

TAIL DE-ICE SYSTEM OPERATION

Operate tail de-ice each 20 minutes of operation of the wing anti-ice system:

TAIL Ice Protection Sw............................................................................................................. ON & RELEASE

TAIL DE-ICE ON Lt ........................................................................................................................................ON

NOTE: In addition to the requirement to operate the tail de-ice every 20 minutes during icing

ENG IGN Selector ..................................................................................................................SYS A OR SYS B

ENG Anti-ice Sws...........................................................................................................................................ON

Move the engine anti-ice switches to ON one at a time. Observe that the L/R ENG VALVE ann comes on and
goes off, and that the L/R ENG ANTI-ICE ON light comes on steady. Observe engine parameters stabilize,
then move the other engine anti-ice switch to ON.

Notes:
• On ground, both engine anti-ice switches may be moved to ON simultaneously.
• During ground operation, if a L or R ENG VALVE ann remains on, call maintenance.
• In flight, if a L or R ENG VALVE ann is on, one or more engine anti-ice valves has malfunctioned.
Depart the icing area as soon as possible. Maintain engine operation at desired thrust level.
Minimize thrust lever movement until clear of icing area.
• ATS, if being used, may disconnect if engine anti-ice switches are moved to OFF while wing anti-
ice or tail de-ice is on (TRC NO MODE light will be on).
• While operating in EPR LIM mode with ATS engaged, icing of the engine pressure ratio probes
may cause throttles to retard. The EPR indication will be the same the limit shown in the TRP. If the
engines are icing at different rates, the ATS may disconnect. If the thrust levers retard, degradation
of climb performance may occur. If allowed to continue in indicate airspeed or mach mode, a descent
will be initiated. If in vertical speed mode, airspeed will decrease.
• The other engine parameters, especially N1, can help with the decision about erroneous indicated
EPR.

When engines are stabilized:

ENG IGN Selector ....................................................................................................................................... OFF

Note: If engine parameters fluctuate maintain the eng ign selector on SYS A or B alternatively.

When engine anti-ice is no longer required:

ENG Anti-ice Sws..........................................................................................................................................OFF

Move the engine anti-ice switches to OFF. Observe that L/R ENG VALVE ann come on and go off, and that
L/R ENG ANTI-ICE ON lights go off.
 Normal Procedures
DC 9/80 II
OPERATIONS MANUAL 26/09/18
Chapter 2 - 35/60

NOTE: If the outside air temperature is 10° C or more, moving the engine anti-ice switches to ON will
cause the TRC NO MODE annunciator light to come on. The light in the TRC mode button previously
selected for takeoff (either T.O. or takeoff flex) will go off and a flag will cover the EPR limit readout.

CAUTION: Anytime engine anti-ice is required, periodic engine run-up, to as high a thrust setting as
practical, (70% N1 for a minimum of 15 seconds is desired or alternately 60% N1 for a minimum of
40 seconds) should be performed to minimize the possibility of ice build-up during extended ground
idle operation. It is suggested that such run-ups need not be made more frequently than at 10 minute
intervals. If engine anti-ice is still required, subsequent airplane takeoff should be preceded by a
static run-up to as high a thrust level as practical with observation of EPR and EGT to assure normal
engine operation.

NOTES:
• Engine anti-ice should be on whenever icing conditions exist or are expected.
• Engine anti-ice should be used during ground operation if the outside air temperature is less than
6° C and visible moisture is present or, as icing hazard can exist during a cool damp day even in
bright sunshine, when the dewpoint and outside air temperature (RAT or SAT) are within 3° C of
each other.
• Engine anti-ice should be used during flight when the ram air temperature is less than 6° C and
visible moisture is present or if ice buildup occurs on the windshield wipers or edges of the
windshields.
• The higher the temperature, the higher the cloud liquid water content and the more severe will be
the icing conditions. At temperatures below -20° C, icing conditions encountered should be less
severe. However, heavy icing has on occasion been reported at temperatures as low as -60° C.
• When encountering engine inlet icing conditions and before the engine anti-icing system is turned
on, the engine ignition selector should be rotated to SYS A or SYS B.

AIR COND SUPPLY Switches ............................................................................................................ AUTO 1

Fan start is evidenced by a momentary increase of the AC load meter indication. If the heat
exchangers cooling fan does not start, the related air conditioning system will be inoperative on
ground. Normal operations will automatically be resumed in flight. If the ambient temperature is high,
it may be desirable to taxi with the APU supplying one air conditioning system. As a matter of fact,
when the APU is supplying only bleed air (APU generator not in use), it can deliver appreciably more
air than the idling engine.

FLAP/SLAT Lever......................................................................................................... SET FOR TAKEOFF 2

Before leaving the parking position: Move the flap/slat lever to O/EXT to enable the auto slat self test;
the SLAT AUTO light will come on momentarily to indicate slats have momentarily moved to fully
extended position. AUTO SLAT FAIL annunciation will come on if system failure is detected.

Move the flap/slat lever to selected takeoff detent. Observe SLATS T/O light is on, SLATS DISAG,
SLATS AUTO, SLATS LAND lights are off and flap position bars and takeoff CONDTN/FLAP readout
agree with selected flap setting.

Exterior Lights ....................................................................................................................AS REQUIRED 1/2

Start taxi, check brake operation and brake pressure.

Notes
• If very heavy or uphill, 40% to 50% N1 RPM momentarily is maximum required to initiate
motion.
• Roll forward before turning.

Speed and Directional Control.....................................................................................................MAINTAIN 1

CM1 maintain safe taxi speed, using idle power, and control direction of airplane by nosewheel
steering or rudder pedal steering. Nosewheel steering is sensitive, therefore ease pressure into and
out of turn and lead with rudder pedal steering. In addition, overshoot centerline during turns because
gear is considerable aft. If braking is required to maintain safe speed, apply sufficient pressure to
slow the airplane then release the brakes. Ridding of brakes will result in overheating and excessive
wear. Intermittent use allows cooling. The following steps must be performed after leaving parking
areas and before entering the active runway for takeoff:

- At start of taxi, allow the airplane to move forward prior to initiating any maximum nosewheel turning
angle.

- To preclude engine FOD do not use high taxi speed.

- A contributing factor to tire failure during taxiing and takeoff is excessive heat buildup, caused by
long taxi distances and/or high taxi speeds: Do not normally exceed 20 kt during taxiing and go
even slower with high gross weight or if taxi distance is long.

Notes:
• If normal T.O. is used and ART READY light is off, check engines below 49% N1 RPM,
move the DFGS 1-2 selector to the alternate system and verify READY light comes on.
Consider ART inoperative if ART INOP annunciation occurs.

• Once ART is armed (both engines above 64% N1 RPM), any system failure or selection of
the alternate DFGS will result in ART actuation indicated by ART light on and reserve thrust
limit displayed on EEDP.

• If takeoff flex is used, ART switch must be in OFF (ART INOP ann. will be on with slats
extended).

• If a significant temperature inversion is known to exist: use Normal Takeoff Thrust. If both
engines are operating normally at time encountering an unknown temperature inversion: No
action is required. If one engine has failed at time of encountering an unknown temperature

TAKEOFF
Note: If engines have been shut down for more than two hours, it is recommended that they
be warmed up at idle (or at a thrust setting normally used for taxi operation) for five minutes
before advancing the thrust levers to takeoff thrust.

Landing and Exterior Lights ................................................................................................AS REQUIRED 1

Thrust Levers .................................................................................................................................1.4 EPR 1/2

PF advance thrust levers to 1.4 EPR or 80% N2 (throttles approximately vertical) and check that the
EPR's are approximately matched and other engine parameters normal.

Note: When both engines are operating above 64% N1 and the ART READY light is on,
selecting the alternate position on the DFGS selector will activate the ART system on
both engines.

Autothrottle...................................................................................................................................ENGAGE 1/2

PF move autothrottle switch to AUTO THROT position.

NOTE: At 60 knots, the autothrottle system clamp (CLMP) mode will engage removing power
from the autothrottle system servo.

Thrust Levers .................................................................................... SET T.O. THRUST/CHECK MIN N1 1/2

Notes: Within 60 KTS, PNF checks N1 to be above minimum charts value for actual OAT and
takeoff EPR as per tables reported in Final Cockpit Preparation.

If a manual takeoff is desired, leave autothrottle switch in OFF position. PF advance thrust
levers in a rapid but smooth manner to takeoff EPR. PNF adjust throttles as necessary to set
takeoff EPR's with final readjustment of static takeoff thrust by 60 knots.

Clocks ...............................................................................................................................................START 1/2

PF rotates the ET control knob to RUN.

Airplane Directional Control .....................................................................................................MAINTAIN 1/2

PF hold control wheel to ensure crosswind aileron correction and maintain forward pressure on
control column.

NOTES
• During crosswind takeoff, the upwind wing will have a tendency to rise soon after brake
release and the nose turn into the wind. Therefore, control wheel deflection must be applied
into the wind to maintain wings level. This deflection will not affect the takeoff performance.

• Directional control is maintained by use of rudder pedal steering, with the rudder becoming
aerodynamically effective at approximately 50 knots. As the speed increases, the aileron
deflection requirement will decrease but it will never diminish to zero throughout the ground
roll. The primary objective is to KEEP THE WINGS LEVEL AND THE AIRPLANE GOING
STRAIGHT DOWN THE RUNWAY.
 Normal Procedures

OPERATIONS MANUAL 26/09/18
Chapter 2 - 42/60

EEDP/ESDP................................................................................................................................. MONITOR 1/2

PNF monitor all engine parameters for normal indications. Announce "Takeoff thrust set" within 60
knots and "Clamp" after FMA check at 60 knots. PNF also check WHEEL NOT TURNING light is off.

Notes
• After EPR setting within 60 knots, the EPR indications may vary slightly during the takeoff
and acceleration phases due to ram effect, temperature and altitude changes. No action
should be taken to correct these variations except to prevent exceeding engine limits.
• The illumination of the WHEEL NOT TURNING light indicates a wheel problem and an
attempted abort at high speeds could result in a blown tire, if it had not already occurred.
This could compromise the stopping ability.
• If WHEEL NOT TURNING light comes on prior to V1-20 KIAS reject takeoff, return to ramp
and have maintenance determine the cause.

Airspeed Indicators (80 knots)........................................................................................ CROSS-CHECK 1/2

At 80 knots, PNF calls "80 knots". PF cross-check reading with his airspeed indicator/airspeed stdby
indicator and calls “CHECKED”.

CAUTION: Rejection of a takeoff at speeds above V1-20 KIAS shall be confined to

circumstances where an engine failure or fire condition develops or where the aircraft
condition clearly renders it unflyable.

V Speeds .................................................................................................................................ANNOUNCE 1/2

PNF announce V1 speed and rotate order as they are achieved during takeoff roll.

Airplane Rotation........................................................................................................................ ACHIEVE 1/2

At V1 PF must have both hands on the control wheel. PF rotate the airplane at VR using smooth
continuous rotation without hesitation which will require approximately 5 seconds to reach takeoff
attitude (20° max). At lift-off the airplane will have 8° of pitch.

Notes
• Abrupt control applications particularly when using VRMIN speeds and low takeoff flap
settings, must be avoided during lift-off in order to preclude striking the tail. Both early and
late rotation will increase takeoff distance.

PNF monitor rotation and when a positive rate of climb is established announce, "Positive climb".

Landing Gear...............................................................................................................................RETRACT 1/2

PF ensure that a positive rate of climb is established and call, "Gear up".

PNF acknowledge "Gear up" then pull and lift landing gear lever to UP. PNF observe gear lights are
off and report. "Gear up, lights out".

Notes
• Gear retraction cycle time is 8.5 seconds.
• After takeoff in slush or wet snow and when clear of obstacles, extending and retracting the
landing gear may reduce ice accumulation and the possibility of gear door freeze-up.

Note:
In icing conditions, tail de-ice should be activated approximately one minute prior to
extending landing flaps.

PF check airspeed not above 28 flaps operating speed and calls, "Flaps 28".

PNF ensure that conditions for 28 flap extension are met then acknowledge, "Flaps 28" and move
flap/slat lever to 28/EXT.

PNF observe that flap position shows 28/28 and report, "Flaps 28".

FLAP/SLAT Lever (If Required) ..................................................................................................... 40/EXT 1/2

PF ensure that conditions for 40 flap extension are met and call, "Flaps 40". PNF cross-check
conditions for 40 flap extension then acknowledge, "Flaps 40" and move flap/slat lever to 40/EXT.
PNF observe that flap position indices show 40/40 and report, "Flaps 40”.

Notes:
• During the entire final approach maintain the stabilizer properly trimmed to obtain maximum
efficiency and full elevator travel.
• If during final approach, due to turbulence, wind shear or other reasons, an airspeed loss or
an increase in rate of descent is encountered, in addition to the required (even considerable)
attitude corrections, increase thrust (even considerably) without hesitation, even though
autothrottles are being used.

GO-AROUND
This procedure describes the actions required to perform a two engine automatic go-around after landing flap
selection.

CAUTION: If go-around is initiated after runway contact, manual go-around procedures must
be used.

Note: The autopilot "minimum abort height" was determined to be 20 ft GND when using
normal go-around procedure and with both engines operating. "Minimum abort height" is
defined as the minimum altitude for initiating go-around without a wheel strike.

After "Go-around" is ordered or announced:

TO/GA Buttons/Thrust Levers........................................................................................PUSH/ADVANCE 1/2

PF push TO/GA button and manually advance thrust levers to GA EPR.

Notes:
• If TO/GA button is pushed when flaps/slats are not in landing configuration, the autopilot
will disengage and only FD go-around guidance is available.
• During missed approach procedure (Both two engines and one engine) the speed
reference will be the speed of go-around initialization, but not less than 1,3 VS+5 KIAS (In
case RUDDER CONTROL is in MANUAL not less than 135 KIAS) or greater than 1,3 Vs+ 25
KIAS.

Autopilot will roll airplane to wings level and rotate it to a pitch attitude to maintain go-around
reference speed (maximum pitch attitude is 20° airplane nose up). Airplane will maintain heading
existing when bank angle is less than 3°.

Note: Autopilot will disconnect if heading select is engaged, during a single engine go-
around.

Autothrottle FMA's change from SPD (plus selected value) to EPR GA, arm mode goes blank, and
roll and pitch annunciators display GO RND. The fast slow pointer on each PFD will provide speed
guidance during go-around.

Notes
• When pressure on the thrust levers is released, the autothrottle system will refine the go-
around thrust setting.
• The thrust rating panel automatically changes to go-around (G A) if not previously
selected.

FLAP/SLAT Lever .................................................................................................IMMEDIATELY 15/EXT 1/2

On PF command, PNF move flap/slat lever to the 15/EXT position.

Notes:
• If the airplane touches down momentarily after engagement of autopilot go-around, the
autopilot will remain engaged. The autopilot disengages if the go-around mode is selected
after runway contact is made.
• Rudder control will remain in parallel mode, until go-around mode is disengaged, to provide
engine out compensation if required.

LANDING
FLARE ........................................................................................................................................ PERFORM PF

PF cross the approach end of the runway at 50 feet, then, as the airplane enters ground effect (at
approximately 20 feet) check the wings level and perform a gentle flare.

Notes:
• In case of cross-wind landing, at approximately 100 feet (GND) gradually change the
approach crab angle to wing low technique. Control drift with aileron into the wind and use
opposite rudder to maintain airplane alignment parallel with the centerline. Airplane can
touch down on upwind wheels first. Remember that wing tip will contact ground at
approximately 9° bank angle.
• Approach and Touchdown speeds will be higher than normal, due to gust factor corrections,
therefore do not hold off, but FLY airplane FIRMLY ONTO GROUND AND GET
NOSEWHEEL ON RUNWAY FOR MAXIMUM CONTROL.
• After touchdown, maintain control wheel into the wind and apply corrective rudder inputs to
aid for directional control.

Thrust Levers ......................................................................................................................................IDLE 1/2

If the autothrottles have not reached idle thrust by this time, manually reduce to idle. It is suggested
to have both hands on the control wheel in order to avoid overcontrol during touchdown.

CAUTION: With thrust levers out of idle, during spoiler extension at touchdown, the
speedbrake lever will automatically disarm, retracting the spoilers surfaces.

Nose wheel Contact ................................................................................................................... ACHIEVE 1/2

After main gear touchdown, PF smoothly lower the nosewheel onto the runway.

NOTE: In the event the aircraft should bounce after landing, hold or re-establish a normal
landing attitude and immediately add thrust as necessary to control the rate of descent.
When using this recovery technique, exercise extreme caution not to increase the pitch
attitude above normal as this will only increase the height of the bounce and may trigger
a stall warning. Do not push over, as this will only cause another bounce and damage the
nose gear. If there is any doubt as to a safe recovery, the Captain will call for and conduct an
immediately go-around. Apply go-around thrust and fly missed approach/rejected landing
profile. Do not retract the landing gear until a positive rate of climb is established, because a
second touchdown may occur during the recovery.

Spoiler Operation ...................................................................................................................... MONITOR 1/2

PNF observe speedbrake lever moves aft upon main gear wheel spin-up and report “Spoilers
Deployed”.

CAUTION: If the speedbrake lever doesn't move aft or doesn't remain at EXT, PNF report to
CM1 “NO SPOILERS”. CM1 will move lever aft to full extend position and up to latched
position.
 Normal Procedures
DC 9/80 II
OPERATIONS MANUAL 26/09/18
Chapter 2 - 55/60

Reverse Thrust ...................................................................................................................AS REQUIRED 1/2

When nose gear is firmly on ground, PF move reverse levers to idle reverse. PNF observe ENG
REVERSE UNLOCK (amber) lights on, then observe ENG REVERSE THRUST (blue) lights on and
call, "Ready for reverse". PF move the reverse thrust levers rearward and adjust levers to obtain
desired reverse thrust.

CAUTION: Lower thrust reverser buckets may contact runway if pitch attitude is in excess of
8 degrees.
When reverse thrust is verified, set thrust symmetrically between idle reverse and 1.3 EPR
as required. Below 80 knots, decrease thrust to the reverse idle detent. Thrust reduction to
the reverse idle detent should be accomplished by 60 knots unless higher thrust is required
for the existing conditions. If difficulty in maintaining directional control is experienced during
reverse thrust operation, reduce thrust as required. Do not attempt to maintain directional
control by using asymmetric reverse thrust. As airplane decelerates, reduce reverse thrust to
avoid engine surging or popping.

NOTES:
• If during reverse applications the reverser interlock will not release, or reverse thrust lever
returns to reduced thrust, move affected lever to forward idle and use unaffected lever as
necessary for deceleration within limits of directional controllability.
• When operating on wet runways, apply down elevator after nose gear contact. Apply
reverse thrust to idle reverse thrust detent. After reverse thrust is verified, gradually increase
reverse thrust as required to no more than 1.3 EPR.
• When reverse thrust is applied, the autothrottle switch drops to the OFF position and ATS
FMA's go blank. Red THROTTLE lights will not come on.
• On some airports, for low noise requirements, do not operate reverse thrust more than idle.
This limitation, is not valid on contaminated runways (snow, slush, standing water) or with
reduced braking effectiveness and when, at Captain's discretion, the maximum airplane
deceleration is necessary.

EEDP............................................................................................................................................ MONITOR 1/2

PNF monitor EEDP for any engine limit being exceeded.

Airplane Directional Control .....................................................................................................MAINTAIN 1/2

PF control airplane with rudder pedal steering.

Notes:
• It is recommended that use of the nose gear steering wheel will be restricted to taxiing and
never be used for control of the airplane on the runway at ground speed in excess of 15
knots.

AFTER LANDING
This procedure must be performed after leaving the active runway. Completion ensures that the airplane is
safe for ground operation after the landing phase and prepares the airplane for parking.

CAUTION:
Crew should be sensitive to ice that may form during taxi in.
Periodic engine run-up (with the engine anti-icing system on), to as high a thrust setting as
practical, (70% N1 for a minimum of 15 seconds is desired or alternatively 60% N1, for a
minimum of 40 seconds) should be performed to minimize the possibility of ice build-up
during extended ground idle operation in suspected icing conditions. It is suggested that
such run-ups need not be made more frequently than at ten minute intervals.

SPEED ADDITIVE
The speed to add must be calculated as half of head wind (HWC Head wind Component)
plus the total gust factor. The total additive should not exceed 20 KIAS. Since the VTH
already includes 5 KIAS, maximum speed additive must be 15 KIAS.

FINAL APPROACH SPEED/TARGET SPEED

During final approach in normal configuration, target speed must be V TH + additive speed
(calculated according to the wind).

WIND CORRECTIONS
To correct wind effects during visual and circling approaches:

- add or subtract 1 sec for each two knots of frontal component or tail.
- apply 1 degree of correction for each knot of XWC cross wind component.

Due to very short extension time in circling approaches, the above drift correction should
be started before runway end (about 45 secs before base turn).

BEST ANGLE SPEED

Best angle speed (two engines) is:
- 1.33 VS in clean configuration (UP/RET) to FL180.
- 1.54 VS over FL180.

BEST RATE SPEED (two engines)

best rate speed is 270 KIAS (average value).

GENERAL INFORMATION

Approching procedures with one engine are the same as with two engines. Maximum flaps
extension for landing with one engine is 28/EXT.

To fly any configuration with one engine it is necessary to increase speed from .20 to .30
EPR.

A turn of 25° bank made at the VMAN creates a descent rate (VZ) of about - 250 ft/min or
requires a power increase of about .05 EPR for two engines or .15 EPR for one engine.

Gear retraction at VMAN and 15/EXT creates a VZ of -150 ft/min or requires a power
increase of about .05 EPR for two engines and 0.07 for one engine.

Auto throttle can be used in every phase of approach, and can be used even with one
single engine, in this case throttle must be allineated.

RECOMMENDATION FOR LANDING WITH PARTIALLY EXTENDED MAIN

LANDING GEAR.

If there is choice of airports within fuel range, consideration should be given to an

airport with fire fighting and rescue facilities and favourable weather conditions.
It is better to land on the longest runway and into wind.

LANDING TECHNIQUE
Consider touching down on the side of the runway corresponding to extended
main landing gear.
- Gear lever Down
- Do not arm spoilers to prevent abrupt decrease of lift on the unsupported
wing at touchdown
- Touchdown on the extended main gear and hold the nose gear off the
runway as long as possible
While elevator control is still effective, lower the nose gear gently to the runway
and hold wings level with ailerons as long as possible.

1. RATINGS OF THE JT8D-217A

a) Takeoff Thrust
Two thrust levels have been certified for this engine:
- Normal Takeoff Thrust
This is the thrust value normally used for takeoff with Automatic Reserve Thrust
(ART) operative.
- Maximum Takeoff Thrust
This is the highest value applicable for takeoff when ART is inoperative.

b) Go-Around Thrust
This is the same rating as Maximum Takeoff Thrust.

c) Maximum Climb Thrust (MCL)

This is the maximum thrust available for climb. All climb charts are based on MCL.

d) Maximum Cruise Thrust (MCR)

Maximum allowable thrust in cruise with both engines operating.

e) Maximum Continuous Thrust (MCT)

Maximum thrust which may be used continuously in case of one engine failure.

f) Bleed corrections
Whenever necessary EPR corrections are given to account for bleed and anti-ice
configurations.

2. SPEED REGIMES
- The climb speed schedule is:
250 KIAS below 10000 ft
290 KIAS up to 26900 ft
.72 MACH above 26900 ft

- The schedule cruise speeds are:

250 KIAS (FL50 to 90)
300 KIAS (FL100 to 270)
.75 MACH (FL280 to 370)
LRC (FL50 to 370)

- The speed schedule 300 KIAS / .75 MACH is recommended as standard economical
cruising. LRC is used for the diversion to the alternate.

- The schedule descent speeds are:

A) Mach .75 above 33900 ft; 260 KIAS below 33900 ft; 250 KIAS below 10000 ft
B) Mach .75 above 29000 ft; 290 KIAS below 29000 ft; 250 KIAS below 10000 ft
Schedule “A” is recommended from the economy fuel standpoint.
Schedule “B” shall be used for normal operations and for flight planning.

FLEXIBLE TAKEOFF THRUST

a) General

The MTOW values given in the Runway Length Limitation tables are based on the use of
the “NORMAL T.O. THRUST”.
Although the “NORMAL T.O. THRUST” is already lower then the maximum usable, an
additional reduction in thrust will furthermore improve the engine life.
Therefore whenever the “ACTUAL TOW” is lower than the “MTOW”, it is recommended
the use of the “FLX T.O. THRUST”.
The procedure is based upon the determination of a higher “assumed temperature” for
which the performance limited takeoff weight is equal to the actual takeoff weight. This
“assumed temperature” is used instead of the actual temperature to determine the T.O.
EPR.

b) Operating Limitations

Flexible takeoff thrust is only allowed when:

- Runway weight limitation table is available.
- The runway is not contaminated by Snow, Slush or standing Water.
- De-icing/Anti-icing fluid has not been used.
- ART system is OFF.
- Airfoil A/I is not used.
- All EPR gauges are operative.

c) Method for determining reduced T.O. EPR

The method has to be used in conjunction with Fixed Flap given in Runway tables for DRY
and WET runway conditions.

1) Determine the max temperature (Assumed TEMP) at which MTOWACT TOW.

When QNH is different from 1013hpa, apply the ACT TOW correction as described
below, before determining the “Assumed TEMP”.

2) Check if ACT OAT is equal to or lower then the value between brackets just under the
“Assumed TEMP” found.
ACT OAT is equal or lower:
The “Assumed TEMP” shell be used in determining the T.O. EPR.
ACT OAT is greater than the max value or NA is found:
In this case the FLX T.O. is not allowed and NORMAL T.O. must be used.

b) Check if Act OAT is equal or lower than the value in brackets: in this case

Example 2
GIVEN: Rwy Cond. DRY
OAT 21°
Wind 0 kt
QNH 1003 hpa
ACT TOW 56 ton

FIND: Since QNH is different from 1013 a correction to Act TOW is required before
determining the Assumed Temp: 56000 + (80*10) = 56800 kg.

a) Assumed Temp = 45° (MTOW=57.0)

b) Check if Act OAT is equal or lower than the value in brackets: 21° is lower
than 37° so the Assumed Temp can be used to calculate take off thrust for a
FLEX T.O.

Example 3
GIVEN: Rwy Cond. WET
OAT 27°
Wind +11 kt
QNH 1017 hpa
ACT TOW 60 ton

FIND: a) Assumed Temp = 37° (MTOW=60.3, 10 kt wind column)

b) Check if Act OAT is equal or lower than the value in brackets: 27° is lower
than 30° so the Assumed Temp can be used to calculate take off thrust for a
FLEX T.O.

NOTE
In real life airlines compile Runway Tables for each runway that is flown by their MD82 fleet.
The values on the tables are calculated taking into account not only the runway length, but also the slope, the presence
of obstacles, etc. Since it is impossible for us to provide the data for every runway we have simplified the tables in order
to take into account only the field length. A real Runway Table will also give the corrected V 1, VR and V2 values for the
specific runway/condition that we have omitted.

Press the LSK6R (or RTE key) to access the ROUTE page. The flight plan route can be
inserted into FMS in three ways:

1) Loading a company route.

2) By means of “airway to waypoint” using the ROUTE page.
3) By means of “point to point” using the LEGS page.

Method 2) is the fastest if there are no company routes saved.

First, we must insert the destination airport in the field LSK1R, LIRF. The departure airport
it is already defined from the POS INIT page.
Next, we start inserting the route, typing the name of the first wpt, KOVAS, and then
pushing key LSK4R. We have now defined a direct to from the departure airport to
KOVAS. After KOVAS we must follow airway UL125 up to TALIN, so we type UL125 and
push LSK5L to insert it, and then TALIN which we insert in field 5L. We must now press
the key NEXT PAGE to go to page 2/2 and insert the next airway, UL5 (filed 1L) to VALMA
(in field 1R). At this point we activate the route pushing LSK6R and confirm with the EXEC
key.

In the route page in the left fields we normally insert airways, and in the right fields
the last point that we want to reach in the inserted airway. If we insert a wpt without
an airway in the corresponding left field, the FMS will generate a direct-to waypoint,
and the world DIRECT will be displayed in the left field. It is also possible to insert
an airway after another airway without a TO point, and the FMS will automatically
calculate the intersection point.

After the route has been inserted and activated, push LSK6R to access the PERF INIT
page, where we must insert mandatory data for the FMS operation. First, we insert the
cruise flight level of our flight plan, in this example FL280, by typing 280 and then push
LSK1R. Next, we insert the zero fuel weight from our load sheet (see also the Load
Manager manual). If our ZFW is 47.225Kg, we type 47.2 and then push LSK4L. The
MCDU will automatically calculate the gross weight. If we want we can modify the cost
index (higher values of the cost index will force the FMS to calculate a higher CLIMB and
CRUISE speed, and vice versa).

NOTE: The fuel quantity must be inserted specifying the schedule, /A or /N.

In field 5R we can insert the transition altitude if it differs from the displayed value.
When all the data are inserted, push LSK6R to access the TAKEOFF page.

If some data in the previous pages has not been inserted, the name of the page will be
displayed in lines 4 or 5 and the message PRE-FLT STATUS. If all the data are correct,
these lines will be blank and the MCDU will display the message PRE-FLT COMPLETE.

Values for V1, VR, and V2 may be entered on the right side of the page for crew reference
at LSK 1R, 2R, and 3R respectively. All values blank after takeoff.

NOTE

The route created can be saved for future flight (to load
a saved route insert the name in field LSK2L of the
route page). To save the route, push key INIT REF and
then LSK6R (MAINT). Type the name of the route (or
recall the name proposed by the FMS) and push
LSK1L (SAVE ROUTE).

ADDING DEPARTURE AND ARRIVAL PROCEDURES

SID, STAR and Approaches procedures must be inserted by pushing the DEP/ARR key
and then select DEP (LSK1L). From the DEP page it is possible to select the departure
runway and the SID procedure that we want to follow after takeoff. If we have already
inserted a dep. Runway in the route page it will also be selected here. We now select
runway 32 and the SID KOVAS6E.

Now push LSK6L to go back to the main DEP/ARR page.

 Conditional Procedures II
DC 9/80
OPERATIONS MANUAL 28/08/18
Chapter 6 - 13/34

The procedure to insert a STAR, APPROACH or TRANSITION is similar. From page

DEP/ARR we must select ARR to access the page with the APPROACH, STAR and
TRANSITION for the desired runway. In our example, we must select ILS16L with
transition TAQ and star VALMA3B (VALMA-TAQ).

Selecting the RTE page we can now check the inserted route.

DISCONTINUITIES
A DISCONTINUITY is an interruption in the route that the FMS creates when we insert a
procedure that does not connect with the present route or when we modify the route (for
example with a direct to) and must be eliminated before the autopilot can follow the lateral
and vertical profile created.

We must confirm the modifications with the EXEC………… key.

After a route is completed we should check the LEGS page (which shows all the fixes of
our route) for any discontinuity or other errors. If we select the PLAN view in the Navigation
Display (ND) it is possible to go through all the fixes by pushing the LSK6R (STEP).
 Conditional Procedures II

Chapter 6 - 15/34
When the route has been checked and all the errors eventually present fixed, the FMS is
ready and the autopilot (or the pilot, by means of the FD’s bars) can follow the lateral and
vertical profiles calculated.

After takeoff, passing 400 feet AGL, push the NAV key in the FGCP (Flight
Guidance Control Panel) to command the DFGS to follow the horizontal profile of our
route. The FMA will show the following messages:

PERFORMANCE DATA PAGES – GENERAL

The Performance Mode Select Keys are CLB, CRZ, and DES. Performance data is derived
from the required preflight entries on the PERF INIT page and the stored aircraft
performance information.
MCDU performance pages automatically transition between CLB, CRZ, and DES when the
aircraft passes points defining the vertical profile.
The FMC climb phase is from takeoff until the airplane reaches the preflight designated
initial cruise altitude called the Top of Climb point (T/C). The cruise phase begins at T/C
and ends at the Top of Descent point (T/D). The T/D point is predicated upon the descent
path required to meet the End of Descent point (E/D). The T/D is calculated in one of two
ways:
• Descent to meet the requirements of a selected arrival or approach procedure.
• Descent to meet the lowest waypoint associated altitude constraint below the cruise
altitude.

VNAV CLIMB AND DESCENT

To initiate a climb or descent when VNAV is engaged, first set and arm the new altitude in
the FGCP Altitude Window. Then type the new altitude in the Scratch Pad of the CLB or
CRZ page and line select it with LSK 1L. Cruise descent altitudes are entered on the CRZ
page as well. Next press the EXEC Key on the MCDU, and finally press VNAV on the
FGCP to begin the climb or descent.

CLB PAGES
The CLB Key displays the climb speed and altitude targets. CLB is a one-page format.
Unless speed / altitude restrictions exist, the default schedule is 250 KT climb to 10,000
feet and economy climb to cruise altitude.
In CLB the left side of the MCDU screen is speed and altitude related. The right side
defines waypoint speed and altitude constraints.
Pushing the CLB Key displays the active FMC climb page. Upon reaching the T/C point,
the MCDU automatically displays the CRZ page. Pushing the CLB Key after reaching T/C
would display a blank climb page.

Waypoint associated speed and / or altitude constraints may be deleted in the following
ways:
• Delete the waypoint from the RTE or LEGS page by the DEL Key or by route
modification.
• The DEL Key and appropriate speed / altitude LSK on the right side of the LEGS page.
• The DEL Key and LSK 1R on the CLB page.
• Lowering the cruise altitude to below the constraint altitude.
The waypoint associated speed and / or altitude constraints can be entered or changed
only on the LEGS pages.

Selecting a new CRZ ALT creates a new altitude target on the climb page and a new CRZ
ALT on the cruise page. Entering a CRZ ALT higher than the maximum certificate altitude
is rejected and a MCDU message, LIMIT ALT FLXXX, is displayed.

CRZ PAGES
The display changes from CLB to CRZ automatically upon reaching the T/C.
The CRZ mode is also displayed anytime the CRZ Mode Select Key is pushed.
The cruise page is inactive until T/C is reached.
Upon reaching the CRZ ALT, the page title reflects that it is active. The FMC tracks the
ACT ECON CRZ performance unless another selection is made.

The desired speed is entered in the Scratch Pad, line selected to LSK 2L, and executed
with the EXEC Key. Selecting and executing ENG OUT at LSK 5R or LRC at LSK 6R
makes either of these speeds the ACT CRZ speed. If one of these speeds is activated,
ECON CRZ is available at LSK 5L. Economy, LRC, and selectable speed cruise pages
display the optimum (OPT) cruise altitude. Optimum altitude is based upon existing weight,
cost index, trip length, and the same wind at all altitudes.
STEP TO a higher altitude appears at LSK 1R when the aircraft is more than 200 miles
from T/D.

Cruise climbs and cruise descents are made on the CRZ page. If the cruise altitude (CRZ
ALT) is changed to a higher altitude, the FMC commands a cruise climb (CRZ CLB).
Conversely, line selecting an altitude lower than CRZ ALT creates a cruise descent (CRZ
DES).

DES PAGES
The DES Key displays descent performance data on a single descent page.
This page becomes active automatically at the T/D (Top of Descent).
The aircraft starts descent only if the Digital Flight Guidance System (DFGS) is engaged in
VNAV and a lower altitude has been set in the altitude select window of the FGCP.

The FMC calculates an optimum descent path using idle thrust to meet all speed / altitude
and waypoint associated speed / altitude constraints to arrive at the FA (Final Approach
fix) at the proper altitude and 170 KTS. In the absence of other speed constraints, the
descent path is based on an ECON DES speed to 10,000 feet, deceleration to 240 KTS by
10,000 feet, 240 KT DES below 10,000 feet, and finally a deceleration to 170 KTS by the
FAF.

With the DFGS engaged in VNAV, the FMC attempts to maintain the descent path using
the elevators. If the speed drops 15 KTS below target speed above 10,000 feet or 10 KTS
below target speed below 10,000 feet, the FMC advances the throttles to regain the target
speed. The MCDU message DRAG REQUIRED appears if the speed exceeds the target
speed by 15 KTS above 10,000 feet or 10 KTS above target speed below 10,000
feet. The crew should use speed brakes to enable the FMC to maintain the desired
descent path.

Before reaching the T/D, DES may be initiated and the page activated by selecting and
executing DES NOW at LSK 6R.

This Minimum Equipment List (MEL) is based on Minimum Equipment List DC-9 Models.
The MEL is intended to permit operations with inoperative items or equipment for a period
of time until rectification can be accomplished. Rectifications are to be accomplished at the
earliest opportunity.
MEL Conditions and Limitations do not relieve the Captain from determining that the
aircraft is in a fit condition for safe operation with specified unserviceability allowed by the
MEL.

CONTENTS OF MEL
The MEL contains only those items required by Operating Regulations and those items of
airworthiness significance which may be inoperative prior to dispatch, provided that
appropriate procedures are observed. The MEL does not include required items, such as
wings, rudder, flap, engines landing gear, etc. Also the list does not include items which do
not affect the airworthiness of the aircraft such as galley equipment, entertainment
systems, defined as “Passenger Convenience Items“.

REPAIR TIME INTERVAL

The MEL establishes limitations on the duration of operations with inoperative equipment.
These are called” “Repair Time Intervals” and are designated with the letters A, B, C, or D.
The inoperative system or component, deferred in accordance with the MEL, must be
rectified at or prior to the “Repair Time Interval “.
A (Category A) - Items in this category shall be repaired within the “repair time interval”
specified in the “Remarks and/or Exceptions”.
B (Category B) - Items in this category shall be repaired within three (3) consecutive
calendar days (72 hours).
C (Category C) - Items in this category shall be repaired within ten (10) consecutive
calendar days (240 hours).
D (Category D) - Items in this category shall be repaired within one hundred and twenty
(120) consecutive calendar days.
