2.3.2 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.
02 ASSIGNMENT OF DUTIES
The assignment of the first officer to PF duties is SCD and preferably done during pre-
flight preparation and with the intention that he fulfills these duties for the whole flight.
03 CHANGING OVER CONTROLS
Should the captain wish to take over control ,or the PF wish to resume controls he will
clearly state: “MY CONTROLS'.
Should the PF wish to hand over control he will clearly state: 'YOURCONTROLS'.
This transfer of control shall be acknowledged.
04 NORMAL OPERATION
Operating procedures have been developed to achieve the optimum use of both pilots.
Many duties may be carried out by either pilot depending on which one at the particular
time is more readily available. However, system handling by the PF shall never interfere
with his main task of flying the aircraft. For that reason the following basic rules shall be
complied with:
– The Normal Checklist will be read by the PNF, while both pilots must be at their flight
stations.
– When the aircraft is on blocks, actions in response to the checklist must as far as
possible be completed by the PF. The PNF shall ascertain the correct checking and
setting of the systems and must check the given answer to be correct.
– When the aircraft is off blocks, the PNF must read and complete the relevant
checklists.
– Reading and response must always be done aloud, regardless which pilot completes
the necessary action.
