TAKEOFF BRIEFING – CM1

• This will be a left/right seat take off. Standard calls, 70/90 knots, V1, Rotate.

• If any malfunction occurs Before V1, you will announce the malfunction, I will call “STOP! MY CONTROLS” or “GO”.

• If the call is STOP! MY CONTROLS, I will select ground idle, apply brakes / reverse as required to bring the aircraft to a complete stop. You will monitor deceleration and advise ATC.

• When the aircraft has stopped and parking brakes are set, I will carry out the memory items.

• If the malfunction occurs After V1, take off shall be continued. No actions shall be taken other than silencing of Aural Warnings, retracting the landing Gear, advancing the PLs and Manual Feathering of the failed engine if required, until 400 feet AGL and aircraft flight path stabilized.

Clean up, memory items, procedures and strategy for engine failure / fire should also be briefed e.g. In case of engine failure with no auto up trim, PL will be manually advanced to the ramp.

With engine failure and no auto feather, PL will not be reduced before CL is set to feather.

After landing checklist is not challenge and response, it’s a do list by CM2

1 Pitch on landing for ATR 72 should never cross 8o. PM to Call “Pitch 7 degrees” if pitch reaches 7o.

2 Return to GI by 40 knots to avoid flight control shaking.

3 ATPCS Test (dynamic test: once a day – Ref: 2.03.24). Do not perform engine test while taxing as ACW and both Main Hydraulic pumps may be temporarily lost (loss of normal braking). 4 Assists in reducing residual heat build-up in engine nacelle. Manufacturer recommendation is 1 minute. 5 Before FTR, check HYD pressure for normal braking 6 Before Fuel SO (last flight) – FTR for 45 secs (Manufacturer time is 20) for oil capacity check by maintenance.

7 ACW BTC may be checked closed to avoid loss of ACW bus on ground.

1 If possible park into the wind after coordinating with ATC (Hotel mode NAC Overheat issue).

2 First shut engine 1 if not done during taxi. 3 On last flight maintain FTR position for 45 secs (manufacturer time 20) – Oil capacity check by maintenance. 4 Prop brake when NP stabilized. UNLK light illuminates then extinguishes. Ensure propeller area is clear. 5 After confirmation from ground personnel that chocks are in place and safety cones have been installed. 6 Without GPU, open cargo door before shutting engine 2 (to avoid load on battery). Set Bleed 2 OFF until ITT stabilizes, before shutting engine 2.
