Part B Section 2
2.1 OPERATING POLICY
01 GENERAL
STICAT Standard Operating Policy is laid down in the STICAT Part A. These general
policies are not, or only partially, covered in this Part B. To comply with the STICAT
standard operating policies, good knowledge of the applicable chapters of the Part A is
mandatory.
Pilot duties are interchangeable and the crew co-ordination procedure thus use the
terminology pilot flying (PF) and pilot not flying (PNF). The abbreviation SCD stands for
Subject to Captains Discretion.
The PF normally occupies the LH seat.
For take-off and landing the pilots shall adjust their seats to obtain the optimum
combination of outside view and instrument visibility.
There is one way of controlling the aircraft:
Manual Flight
Because the aircraft is controlled manually, the PF should keep his hands at the controls
and refrain from any other handling and the PNF should have his full attention in
monitoring the flight path and refrain from any non essential duty.
2.2 CREW COORDINATION AND MONITORING
01 GENERAL
During all phases of flight good crew co-ordination and communication will enable the crew
to be permanently aware of each other's actions, aircraft configuration, system status,
aircraft position and ATC communication. All crew actions and tasks are to be monitored
by each pilot.
Errors in judgment or deviations from standard procedures are to be reported at once to
the other pilot.
Standard warning calls are:
'BANK'
'SPEED
HIGH/LOW'
'SINK RATE'
when the maneuvering limit is exceeded.
during approach, when the speed deviates more
than +10/-5 kt from the correct value.
during approach, when the rate of descent
exceeds 1000 ft/min.
For crew co-ordination procedures refer also to the relevant block diagrams.
