070 OPERATIONAL PROCEDURES
BY KDMN
2020
,I/ ANNEX 6 : OPERATIONS OF AIRCRAFT
01 APPLICABILITY
• Contains Standards & Recommended Practices, into 3 parts:
Part 1: operators conducting international commercial air transport by a/c.
Part 2: requirements for international general aviation operations with a/c.
Part 3: helicopters.
02 DEFINITIONS
a) ALTERNATE AERODROME: an a/d to which an a/c may proceed when it becomes either impossible
or inadvisable to proceed to or to land at the a/d of intended landing where the necessary services
and facilities are available, where a/c performance requirements can be met and which is
operational at the expected time of use. It includes:
➔ T/O alternate: 1 hour with one engine operative over 2, or 2h with one engine operative
over 3-4, if all engines -> at max continuous thrust.
➔ En-route alternate.
➔ Destination alternate:
1. No destination alternate if time to destination is less than 6h & 2 RWY at
destination. MINIMA: at ETA +1h ceiling > 500 ft + circling height, visibility ≥ 5km.
2. 2 destination alternates: if RVR < Minima for precision app, OR RVR < Minima +
ceiling < MDH for non-precision app OR no weather forecast.
➔ Departure alternate = Enroute + destination diversion.
b) FLIGHT TIME: from block-off time to rest at the end of the flight = “chock-off chock-on”.
03 COMPLIANCE WITH LAWS
• The operator is responsible to make sure that the crews are aware to comply with regulations of the state
where operations are conducted.
• If diversion, PIC chooses, notifies local authorities without delay, if required by state of occurrence, submits
a report (within 10days).
a) SAFETY MANAGEMENT:
➔ Safety hazard identification
➔ Remedial actions
➔ Monitoring of safety performances
➔ Improvement of safety management system
b) MAINTENANCE RELEASE:
➔ Basic details, date
➔ Identity of the approved maintenance organisation & person signing.

, II/ EUROPEAN REGULATION
01 IMPLEMENTING RULES
• It is composed of 8 annexes:
ANNEX I DEF Definitions
ANNEX II ARO Authority Requirements for air Operations
ANNEX III ORO Organisation Requirements for air Operations
ANNEX IV CAT Commercial Air Transport operations
ANNEX V SPA Specific Approvals requirements (LVO, RVSM, PBN…)
ANNEX VI NCC Non-Commercial operations for Complex aircraft
ANNEX VII NCO Non-Commercial operations for non cplx a/c
ANNEX VIII SPO Specialized activities
• A complex motor-powered a/c:
• > 5,7 T, >19 PAX or min 2 pilots, turbo jet engines, > 1 turboprop engine.
02 THE AUTHORITY
• The Air Operator Certificate AOC:
➔ Given by an Authority to an operator (DGAC…)
➔ Guarantee of maintenance, organisation, management, procedures to a certain safety
level
➔ Unlimited duration
03 THE OPERATOR
• Minima must be equal or higher than those established by the State authorities, inaccuracies in the
indications of altimeters used.
a) AEROPLANE CATEGORIES: according to the Velocity at threshold Vat, Vat = 1,3 Vso or = 1,23V1g,
at max certified landing mass.
Categories Vat
A Vat < 91 kt
B 91 ≤ Vat ≤ 120
C 121 ≤ Vat 140
D 141 ≤ Vat ≤ 165
E 166 ≤ Vat ≤ 210
b) T/O OPERATING MINIMA: expressed in RVR (at threshold) or visibility. For multi-engine a/c, which
can with an engine failure during T/O, either stop T/O or continue to 1500 ft height:
Facilities RVR/Visibility
Day: NIL 500 m
Day: RWY edge lighting and/or centreline 400 m
marking
Night: RWY edge and runway end lights or 400 m
runway centreline lights and rwy end lights
