(2) Definitions
SOLE MEANS NAVIGATION SYSTEM; A navigation system that, for a given phaseof flight, must allow the aircraft to meet all four navigation system performancerequirements - accuracy, integrity, availability and continuity of service.
PRIMARY MEANS NAVIGATION SYSTEM; A navigation system that, for a givenoperation or phase of flight, must meet accuracy and integrity requirements, butneed not meet full availability and continuity of service requirements, Safetyis achieved by either limiting flights to specific time periods, or throughappropriate procedural restrictions and operational requirements.
SUPPLEMENTAL MEANS NAVIGATION SYSTEM; A navigation system that must beused in conjunction with a sole means navigation system.
INTEGRITY; That quality which relates to the trust which can be placed in thecorrectness of information supplied by a system. It includes the ability of asystem to provide timely warnings to users when the system should not beused for navigation.
RECEIVER AUTONOMOUS INTEGRITY MONITORING (RAIM); A technique wherebyan airborne GPS receiver/processor autonomously monitors the integrity ofthe navigation signals from GPS satellites.
NOTE: Systems for providing integrity, other than RAIM, may be approved foruse, Where reference to RAIM occurs in this sub-section, it includesother approved equivalent integrity monitoring systems.
Prior knowledge of RAIM availability will enable operators and pilots to use thesystem more efficiently, by allowing operations to be planned around gaps inRAIM coverage. Flights should be planned to ensure the safe completion offlight in the event of loss of GPS integrity. Pilots should request a GPS statusreport from NAIPS or access the RAIM prediction page of the GPS equipmentto establish RAIM availability for the proposed flight.

(c) If valid position information is lost (2D and DR Mode), or non-RAIMoperation exceeds ten minutes, the GPS information is to be consideredunreliable, and pilots shall use another means of navigation until RAIMis restored and the aircraft is re-established on track.
(d) Following re-establishment of RAIM, the pilot shall notify the appropriateATS unit of RAIM restoration, prior to using GPS information.
(e) When advising ATS of the status of GPS, the phrases "RAIM FAILURE'or "RAIM RESTORED" must be used.
(8) GPS Distance Information to ATS Units
When a DME distance is requested by an ATS unit, DME derived distanceinformation should normally be provided. Alternatively, GPS derived distanceinformation may be provided to an ATS unit, unless RAIM is currentlyunavailable and has been unavailable for the preceding ten minutes.
Notwithstanding the above paragraph, if an ATC unit has issued a clearanceor requirement based upon GPS distance (e.g. a requirement to reach acertain level by a GPS distance), the pilot shall inform ATC if RAIM is notavailable.
When a DME distance is not specifically requested, or when the provision ofa DME distance is not possible, distance information based on GPS derivedinformation may be provided. When providing GPS distance, transmission ofdistance information must include the source and point of reference - 115 GPSCAIRNS VOR; 80 GPS COEN NDB; 267 GPS VILOK.
If a GPS distance is provided to an ATC unit, and RAIM is not currentlyavailable, but has been available in the preceding 10 minutes, the distancereport should given as "26 GPS COEN NEGATIVE RAIM."
Distance information must only be provided in relation to published waypointsunless specifically requested by an ATS unit.
Where GPS distance is requested or provided from an NDB, VOR, DME, orpublished waypoint, the position of the navigation aid or waypoint must bederived from a vendor supplied database.

Provided that primary azimuth guidance is provided by an associated NDB orVOR, and subject to the restrictions in the following paragraph, Club pilots,who have completed the appropriate training may use a GPS systems whichmeet the requirements of this sub-section to conduct enroute IFR descentbelow LSALT/MSA in accordance with the "GPS Arrival" or "DME or GPSArrival" procedures published in AIP DAP/Jeppesen Airway Manual.
In addition to the general limitations and restrictions in this sub-section, thefollowing specific restrictions apply to "GPS Arrivals" and "DME or GPSArrivals":
(a) The coordinates of the destination VOR or NDB, to which the descentprocedure relates, must be obtained from a vendor supplied database.
(b) The database medium (card, chip, etc) must be current, and of a kindendorsed by the receiver manufacturer.
(c) RAIM must be available before descending below the LSALT/MSA whenconducting a "GPS Arrival" or "DME or GPS Arrival".
(d) The destination aid (VOR or NDB) nominated in the "GPS Arrival" or"DME or GPS Arrival" chart must be used to provide primary trackguidance during the arrival procedure.
(e) In the event of a significant disparity between the NDB or VOR track,and the GPS track indication, the pilot must discontinue the arrivalprocedure.
(f) If at any time during the approach there is cause to doubt the validity ofthe GPS information (eg, RAIM warning), or if RAIM is lost, the pilotmust:
(i) maintain flight to the Missed Approach Point (MAPT) at the lastlevel at which the pilot was satisfied with the accuracy of the GPSsystem; or
(ii) climb to the en route LSALT/MSA, and use an alternative approach,or hold or divert.

(11) Data Integrity
Club pilots shall, where possible, derive enroute navigation aid and waypoint
latitude and longitude data from a validated data base, which cannot be
modified by the operator or crew.
Club pilots shall only use data from a validated database for navigation below
the LSALT/MSA. Manually entered data must not be used for navigation by
Club pilots below the LSALT/MSA.
When data is entered manually, data entries must be cross-checked by an
independent check (eg, GPS computed tracks and distances against current
chart data).
Both manually entered and database derived position and tracking information
should be checked for reasonableness in the following cases:
(a) prior to each compulsory reporting point;
(b) at or prior to arrival at each enroute waypoint;
(c) at hourly intervals during area type operations when operating off
established routes; and
(d) after insertion of new data - eg, creation of new flight plan.
(12) Flight Plan Notification
Pilots of Club aeroplanes equipped with GPS systems that comply with the
requirements of this sub-section, should insert the following in flight plans:
(a) DOMESTIC FLIGHT NOTIFICATION; circle "Z" in field 10, and

2.8 DUTY AND FLIGHT TIME LIMITATIONS
(1) Private and Commercial Operations
The intent of the following paragraphs is to preserve the integrity of the flight
and duty time limitations applied to commercial operations to ensure the
observation of the safety standards as stated in CAO 48.
(a) Where a Club pilot engages in a mix of commercial and private
operations, all flight and duty time associated with the private operation
shall be taken into account in determining compliance with the flight and
duty time limitations specified for commercial operations.
(b) If private operations are carried out immediately prior to commencing a
period of commercial operations or are sandwiched between periods of
commercial operations, then the full amount of both flight and duty times
incurred during the period of private operations must be accounted for
on the applicable flight and duty time record.
(c) If private operations are carried out immediately after a commercial tour
of duty the pilot can continue to fly on private operations irrespective of
total flight or duty time. If extended flight or duty time is undertaken on
private operations, an extended rest period may be required before the
pilot is available to be rostered for either a tour of duty or reserve time
at home. The full amount of both flight and duty times incurred during the
period of private operations must be accounted for on the applicable
flight and duty time record.
(2) Flight Hours Limits
The limits which apply to Club pilots engaging in charter and aerial work
operations are:
(a) 900 hours in 365 consecutive days
(b) 100 hours in 30 consecutive days
(c) 30 hours in 7 consecutive days.

04/04 PASSENGER AND FREIGHT ADMINISTRATION A4-13
4.15 INTOXICATED AND OFFENSIVE PASSENGERS
(1) The pilot in command of the aircraft, in accordance with the authority which
is vested in him/her under Regulation 309 of the Civil Aviation Regulations,
may refuse to carry any intoxicated or other passenger who, because of that
person's general behaviour, is regarded by the pilot to be offensive or a likely
threat to the safety of the aircraft or of the other persons on board.
(2) Provoking the passenger should be avoided at all costs, and expressions such
as 'intoxicated' or 'under the influence of alcohol/drugs' should not be used
when discussing refusal or off loading as this places the onus of proof on the
Club and may even result in later legal action. A discreet "In my judgement
as pilot in command of the aircraft you do not appear to be in a suitable state
of health to fly today" may be all that is needed to deal effectively with the
problem.
4.16 PASSENGER COMFORT
(1) Passenger comfort must be of prime concern to crew members and ground
staff alike and a high standard of courtesy should be demonstrated at all
times. The pilot should ensure that the passengers know the location and
operation of ventilation and climate controls and are made aware of any
special features designed for their individual comfort.
(2) When sick, injured or handicapped persons are being carried, the pilot in
command shall take all reasonable precautions to minimise discomfort to other
occupants.
(3) Passenger comfort is also complimentary to safety and in order to maintain
maximum passenger comfort and confidence in the air, pilots should take all
reasonable steps to avoid
- areas of atmospheric turbulence;
- sudden or violent flight manoeuvres;
- steep turns; and
- descending at more than 500 feet per minute.GG

04/04 EMERGENCY PROCEDURES A5-3
5.1 DECLARATION OF EMERGENCY
(1) Should the aircraft be in grave and imminent danger, e.g. engine failure, fire
or serious airframe malfunction, the early transmission of a distress message
(MAYDAY - see AIP/ERSA) and selection of transponder code 7700 will
ensure maximum assistance with minimum delay.
(2) An urgency message (PAN - see AIP/ERSA) is the appropriate transmission
should the safety of a person be involved, or the aircraft be experiencing
performance or navigational difficulties and, as with the distress message,
early transmission and transponder selection to 7700 is essential for maximum
assistance.
(3) Club pilots are expected to be fully conversant with AIP/ERSA so that the
appropriate procedure may be instantly initiated should an emergency or
abnormal situation arise or be observed in flight, or if unable to comply with
the Rules of the Air or ATC requirements.
L (4) An AIR SAFETY ACCIDENT OR INCIDENT REPORT shall be furnished by the pilot
in command within 2 working days of an occurrence in accordance with the
requirements set down at sub-section 6.12 of Section A6..
5.2 EMERGENCY CHANGE OF ALTITUDE
(1) The conditions which may require the initiation of an emergency descent to a
lower altitude include
- navigational difficulties;
- engine malfunction;
- build up of smoke in the cabin;
- fire;
(2) Any necessity for an emergency descent shall be immediately reported to ATS
so that separation can be arranged, but if this is not possible, turn away from
the area of known traffic to avoid conflict with other aircraft and transmit the
appropriate signal as prescribed in AIP/ERSA.
THE REDCLIFFE AERO CLUB
© AEROSERVICE 2000
08/00 EMERGENCY PROCEDURES A5-4
5.3 COMMUNICATION FAILURE
Where a total communication failure occurs in flight, the pilot in command shall
follow the COM failure procedures in AIP/ERSA.
5.4 NAVAID FAILURE
Where total communication and navaid failure occur in flight, the pilot in command
shall follow the COM and NAVAID failure procedures in AIP/ERSA.
5.5 DIVERSIONS DUE TO WEATHER
(1) Flight in IMC
If a successful approach and landing at the destination aerodrome appears
marginal due to weather, the pilot in command shall make an allowance for
diversion to an alternate in accordance with the fuel reserves detailed in sub-
section 6.17(4)(c) of Section A6.
(2) Flight in VMC
(a) Club aircraft shall not commence a VFR flight unless current
meteorological reports and forecasts show that the weather conditions
en route and at the destination are such that the flight can be conducted
under the visual flight rules.
(b) If weather conditions begin to deteriorate, the pilot in command must
carefully monitor the changes and plan possible alternative action. Pilots
are referred to CAR 171(2) and are reminded that where an aircraft
cannot be flown in accordance with the Visual Flight Rules, the pilot in
command shall comply with the Instrument Flight Rules, provided the
pilot is rated and the aircraft has the appropriate equipment for operating
under the IFR, or land at the nearest suitable aerodrome.
(c) The pilot in command is at all times responsible for the safety and
security of the aircraft including persons on board and is expected to
take whatever action is deemed necessary having regard for the existing
and all other possible circumstances.

5.5 DIVERSIONS DUE TO WEATHER
(3) Unscheduled Landing
(a) If an unscheduled landing due to weather cannot be avoided, it should be
carried out while sufficient fuel remains to permit a normal landing.
(b) The pilot in command, when determining the suitability of an aerodrome
or ALA for an unscheduled landing, should consider, in addition to the
operational requirements, the availability of accommodation, transport,
communications and, if required, facilities for the refuelling and servicing
of the aircraft.
(c) Notification and a full report will be made to the Chief Pilot within 24
hours of the occurrence.
5.6 ABNORMAL LANDINGS
(1) Club pilots should always be aware of the proximity of aerodromes suitable for
an emergency diversion. The suitability of an aerodrome for a diversion
following an inflight emergency will depend on the aircraft type, the type of
emergency and the availability of rescue and fire fighting services.
(2) If a decision is made to divert to aerodrome following an in flight emergency,
the pilot in command shall consider all the relevant factors. Refer to sub-
section 2.4 of Section B2, Part A, for the factors to be considered if a decision
is made to continue to an aerodrome other than the nearest aerodrome.
(3) Following an abnormal landing, the pilot in command shall consider whether
the aeroplane should be stopped on the runway or clear of the runway. In the
event of the possibility of fire, turn the aeroplane to place the emergency exit
and/or door on the upwind side of the aeroplane. Refer to sub-section 5.10(2)
for the Evacuation Procedure.
(4) The checks detailed below in this sub-section are to be used where
applicable checks are not published in the Pilot’s Operating Handbook
for the aeroplane.

5.6 ABNORMAL LANDINGS
(4) Abnormal Landings Immediately After Take-off - Multi-engine Aeroplanes
If an engine failure or fire occurs after take-off, Club pilots shall;
(a) complete the Engine Failure after Take-off Checklist;
(b) climb to a safe altitude;
(c) advise ATS with intentions;
(d) if possible, remain clear of cloud;
(e) brief the passengers as detailed in sub-section 5.10;
(f) carry out the checklist for a single-engine landing;
(g) select a suitable runway. If the performance of the aeroplane is such thata landing on the departure runway may not be possible, select a suitablearea inside the aerodrome if possible, i.e. taxiway, runway strip, disusedrunway etc.;
(h) do not reduce the airspeed below VXSE to "stretch" the distance the aeroplaneis capable of covering;
(i) only extend the gear when a safe landing is assured. Be prepared toaccept a gear up landing.
(5) Engine Failure in Flight - Multi-engine Aeroplanes
If sufficient height and airspeed is available at the first sign of an in flightengine failure, the pilot in command shall complete the following checksbefore securing the affected engine;
(a) Mixture control - FULL RICH
(b) Check fuel pressure; if not normal; fuel boost pump - ON, checkpressure;
(c) Fuel selector - SELECT to another fuel tank containing fuel;
(d) Magneto switch - SELECT Right to Left to Both. If the engine respondswith a change of switch selection, leave the magneto switch in thatposition;
(e) Oil pressure and temperature - NORMAL;
(f) If the engine does not respond, complete the applicable engine securingchecklist; and
(g) brief the passengers as detailed in sub-section 5.10(1). ....

5.6 ABNORMAL LANDINGS
(6) Complete Loss of Engine Power after Take-off
Following a complete loss of engine power after take-off where sufficient
height and airspeed are not available to complete any troubleshooting
checks, Club pilots shall adopt the following procedure;
(a) Lower the nose immediately to maintain airspeed above stall speed;
(b) Fuel selectors - OFF;
(c) Battery, alternator and magneto switches - OFF
(d) Mixture control - IDLE CUTOFF BOTH;
(e) Warn forward facing passengers to adopt a brace position;
(f) Keep straight ahead. Chance direction only to avoid obstacles. Use
rudder only. Keep wings level;
(g) Always maintain enough airspeed to ensure full control of aircraft to
point of touch-down. Coarse use of ailerons near the stall airspeeds
precipitates wing dropping. It is better to fly an aircraft with complete loss
of engine power safely to a controlled crash landing straight ahead, than
to make an attempt to turn back to the aerodrome.

06/02 EMERGENCY PROCEDURES A5-9
5.7 EMERGENCIES WITH STUDENT OR INEXPERIENCED PILOTS
(1) Should an in-flight emergency arise during a dual instructional flight, the
instructor must take over control of the aircraft. Control is deemed to have
changed upon the instructor stating "taking over" and on receiving an audible
"handing over" from the pilot under training.
(2) Before authorising a solo flight, the authorising instructor should be satisfied
that the student pilot has sufficient knowledge to handle any emergency or
adverse flight condition that may occur. The trainee must also be familiar with
the procedures outlined at sub-sections 5.1 through 5.6, this Section.
(3) The flight must not be authorised unless the requirements of the last
preceding paragraph can be satisfied beyond reasonable doubt.
(4) When information is received of an emergency involving a student or
inexperienced pilot operating Club aircraft, the Chief Pilot or CFI or other most
senior staff member on duty should be immediately notified.
L (5) The Civil Aviation Safety Authority must also be notified of any condition which
may result in an emergency situation.
(6) If an emergency could involve damage to aircraft or injury to crew or members
of the public, the relevant fire, police and ambulance authorities shall be
alerted.
(7) In the case of a landing problem involving student pilots or trainees flying solo,
the Chief Pilot or CFI or other most senior staff member on duty should be
immediately notified. If an attempt to render assistance by radio is thought
helpful, it should be borne in mind that the inexperienced pilot is under
considerable strain, and all directions should therefore be simple, clearly
worded and definitely and authoritatively given.

08/00 EMERGENCY PROCEDURES A5-10
5.8 FLIGHT IN ABNORMAL METEOROLOGICAL CONDITIONS
(1) The abnormal meteorological conditions likely to be encountered by Club
pilots are thunderstorms and cyclones The weather conditions likely to be
associated with thunderstorms and cyclones are heavy rain, strong winds and
squalls, hail, severe turbulence, icing, lightning, low visibility and low cloud
and, for water float plane operations, rough surface conditions.
(2) When thunderstorms are forecast, Club pilots shall ensure that all Club
aeroplanes on the ground are either hangared or, if a hangar is not available,
the aeroplane is securely tied down into the anticipated wind with all control
locks in place.
(3) If a severe thunderstorm warning or cyclone warning is current, Club
aeroplanes shall either be placed in a hangar or if the aircraft cannot be
adequately protected, consideration should be given in consultation with the
Chief Pilot to flying the aircraft to a safer location.
(4) When flight planning to an area where a cyclone watch is current and, Club
pilots should consider planning for an alternate landing point outside the watch
area, as the cloud, wind strength and direction may change considerably. If
required by a charter client to remain for a period of time at an aerodrome where
a cyclone watch is current, the pilot in command shall remain vigilant for any
deterioration in the weather. The pilot shall remain in contact with the client
in case an earlier departure is required.
(5) Thunderstorms and Airborne Weather Radar
(a) The weather radar system is designed for weather avoidance and will
not be used to penetrate thunderstorms unless an emergency exists and
no safer course is available. If thunderstorm conditions are observed or
forecast, it is the responsibility of the pilot in command to carefully
analyse the situation and, if possible, detour the area. Such deviations
are desirable even though the flight may have to be refuelled enroute.
Weather radar must never be used as a collision avoidance or ground
proximity warning device
(b) Only Club aircraft with operative radar may enter cloud areas where
thunderstorm activity is being experienced. If the radar is inoperative or
not fitted the pilot must operate in VMC in any thunderstorm area. ....

08/00 EMERGENCY PROCEDURES A5-11
5.8 FLIGHT IN ABNORMAL METEOROLOGICAL CONDITIONS
(5) Thunderstorms and Airborne Weather Radar (Cont'd)
(c) If the weather radar is not fitted or fails enroute, it is the responsibility of
the pilot in command to determine if a thunderstorm area can be
navigated with safety and reasonable comfort to passengers. He/she
should review latest available weather reports and consider all
information regarding thunderstorm conditions. The pilot should, when
possible, plan routes which will avoid forecast thunderstorm areas. While
enroute he/she should avoid thunderstorms visually.
(6) Echo Avoidance Policy
(a) When the pilot interprets thunderstorm conditions exist from the radar
returns, it is desirable that the area be detoured. An early decision to
divert around a thunderstorm will need a relatively small heading
change and result in minimum distance added to the flight.
(b) When timely evasive action is not possible, the following shall apply:
(i) When using the shorter range setting to circumnavigate echoes,
monitor the longer ranges frequently to determine the extent of the
area and to watch for additional developments;
(ii) Navigable corridors between echoes should be reasonably straight
and at least 20 nm wide;
(iii) Avoid flying under a cumulonimbus overhang when possible;
(iv) Avoid steep rainfall gradients by 10 nm or more;
(v) Increase the distance in (iv) by 100% or more for echoes which are
rapidly increasing in size or intensity, changing shape rapidly, exhibit
hooks, fingers, scalloped edges or other forms of protrusion.
(c) When taking-off in thunderstorm areas, the radar should be operated on
the ground using some upward antenna tilt to determine the best
possible climbout path. During ground operation the radar must be left
in the standby position until the aircraft is clear of all large reflective
objects by 30 metres. Take-offs and landings shall not be attempted
unless the clearance criteria detailed above is available.

5.9 CONTINUING FLIGHT IN ABNORMAL CONDITIONS
(1) Abnormal Engine or System Operations
(a) Except as detailed in (b) below, Club pilots shall land at the nearest
suitable aerodrome/ALA and shall not continue flight with any abnormal
engine or system operation.
(b) Following an engine or system malfunction in flight, the continuation to
an aerodrome other than the nearest suitable aerodrome shall be at the
discretion of the pilot in command after consideration of all relevant
factors including;
(i) the nature of the malfunction and the possible mechanical
difficulties which may be encountered if the flight is continued;
(ii) availability of an malfunctioning engine or system for use;
(iii) the altitude, aircraft weight and usable fuel at the time of failure;
(iv) distance to be flown and the type of terrain enroute;
(v) relative characteristics of the aerodromes available for a landing;
(vi) weather conditions enroute and at the available aerodromes;
(vii) familiarity of the pilot with the aerodromes suitable for use.
(c) When an engine fails or is shut down in flight or the aircraft suffers a
system malfunction in flight, the pilot in command shall notify the nearest
ATS unit as soon as possible giving the relevant information and the
intentions of the pilot in command.
(2) Meteorological Conditions
Club pilots shall divert and land at the nearest suitable aerodrome/ALA or
return to the departure point if meteorological conditions are encountered
which are not suitable for continued flight.

(a) determine which evacuation exits to be used considering;
(i) amount of damage;
(ii) aircraft attitude;
(iii) water level (if ditching);
(iv) fire danger;
(v) propeller rotation.
(b) when a decision has been made on the exits to be used, the pilot incommand shall;
(i) open emergency exit/door;
(ii) direct and assist passengers with evacuation;

5.12 ACTION IN THE EVENT OF BEING FORCED DOWN OR UNABLE TO TAKE-OFF
IN A REMOTE AREA
(1) If a Club aeroplane operating in a designated remote area is forced to make
an unscheduled landing for reasons of weather or mechanical failure, or is
similarly unable to take-off, radio communication should immediately be
established with ATS, the Club or other aircraft to obtain the necessary
assistance.
(2) If communications cannot be established, the pilot should activate the
aeroplane's emergency locater transmitter, either at the nominated Sartime or
after allowing time for the Club to realise the aeroplane is overdue.
(3) The pilot and all other persons on board must stay with the aeroplane until
located or, if weather is the cause of the grounding, until conditions have
sufficiently improved to permit a safe continuation of the flight. The
aeroplane's survival equipment and survival handbook should be utilised as
necessary in the meantime.
(4) It is permissible for the pilot or other person to leave the grounded aeroplane
to seek assistance only if it is absolutely certain that a town, settlement, road
or homestead is within reasonable distance, but notes should be left and a
trail made which can be followed by a land party.
5.13 BIRD STRIKES AND BIRD AVOIDANCE
(1) Birds pose a major problem to aircraft in parts of the country at various times
of the year. Often at early morning and late afternoon they will follow defined
paths when foraging for food or may be forced to shelter due to climatic
conditions.
(2) Where possible avoid areas of high bird concentration. Little can be done to
make the aircraft more obvious except for displaying all possible lights.
(3) While most birds will dive to avoid an aircraft, their behaviour is unpredictable
and unless ground staff are available to disperse them, it may be prudent to
delay arrival or departure until they have moved on.
L (4) Any bird strike must be reported to ATSB using the Aviation Bird & Animal
Strike Notification form.

5.14 CLUB FLIGHT FOLLOWING PROCEDURES
(1) If a Club aeroplane is conducting a flight without submitting flight notificationto Airservices, the following procedures shall be adopted to enable the Club tomaintain an effective flight following for Club aeroplanes. Club pilots shall notifythe Club office of the following details;
(a) Registration;
(b) Details of flight;
(c) Names of persons on board; and
(d) Nominated Sartime.
(2) Club pilots are to contact the Club by phone before the expiry of theirnominated Sartime.
(3) If a pilot has not contacted the Club by his/her nominated Sartime or upon thenotification of the overdue arrival of any Club aeroplane, the followingprocedures shall be instigated.
The Club through the Chief Pilot or delegate shall;
(a) Try to contact the aeroplane concerned. (i.e. radio, phone, another Clubaircraft or client representative);
(b) Obtain from the Club's client, the probable area of operations and lastknown position and the number of persons on board;
(c) Notify the following information to Australian Search and Rescue (AMSA)telephone 1800 815 257, Fax 1800 62 2153:
(i) the registration of the aeroplane that is missing
(ii) last known position and notified intentions.
(4) On finding the missing aeroplane, the following procedures shall be instigatedby the Chief Pilot in conjunction with the AMSA RCC:
(a) Ascertain from the AMSA the number of survivors and the best possiblemethod of rescue, if required;
(b) Obtain the position of the aeroplane and of the nearest landing area;
(c) Instigate planning and logistics for a possible retrieval aircraft if required.....

5.15 SERIOUS ILLNESS ON BOARD
In the event of serious illness occurring on board a Club aeroplane, take whataction is necessary to stabilise the patient. Advise ATS and request priorityhandling if considered necessary. Request medical advice or assistance andconsider diverting to a suitable aerodrome where medical facilities are available.
5.16 USE OF FIRE EXTINGUISHERS
Should the use of fire extinguishers be necessary in the cabin, move thepassengers as far away as possible and be alert for the possibility of toxic fumesfrom the burning material or effects of the extinguishing agent.
5.17 DITCHING
The following procedures shall be adopted by Club pilots if specific ditchingprocedures are not incorporated in the aircraft Flight Manual for the aeroplane inuse.
(1) Sea Evaluation
"SWELLS" which are almost never absent, wind or not, are caused by a distantdisturbance. The major swell is almost always accompanied by at least oneminor swell moving from a different direction. "WAVES" are caused by thelocal wind. They move in the same direction as the wind. Periodically theswells and waves are in the opposite phase, with the crests of one filling thetroughs of the other, giving a resultant smoother surface. Such areas are thebest areas for ditching. Refer to Appendix 1, this Section
The opposite applies when in phase. Wind velocity can be assessed byobserving the WIND LANES and WHITE CAPS.
White caps move forward with the wind, but are overtaken by the waves,giving the illusion that the foam is sliding backwards.
WIND TABLE
FEW WHITE CRESTS 10 - 20 Knots
MANY WHITE CRESTS 20 - 30 Knots

5.17 DITCHING
(2) Heading Selection
The objective is to select a landing direction that will result in the minimum
relative speed between the aircraft and the swell system. The best heading is
parallel to the major swell and down the minor swell, making the greatest use
of the headwind component. Both major and minor swells travel from 20 to 45
knots and must be considered when ditching.
The final heading will depend on the velocity of the wind versus the velocity
and height of the minor swell. If the minor swell is considered too formidable,
and downwind component too great, select heading parallel to the minor swell
and down the major swell.
Landing down swell reduces relative touch-down speed by the speed of the
swell.
(3) Ditching Technique
At 2000 feet;
- Observe the major swell;
- Note the wind speed and direction;
- Take up a general ditch heading along the swell into any existing
headwind component.
At 200 feet
- Adjust heading to correct for possible change in observed major and/or
minor swell system;
- Ditch into wind if wind speed is above 30 knots.
Descend to and hold 10 feet
- Look ahead for relative smooth area. Judging height above glassy water
is deceptive. Employ the IFR technique to alight
- Touch down on or just past the crest of the swell
- It may be possible to utilise ground effect to prolong touching down if the
aeroplane if any power is available.

5.17 DITCHING
(4) Alighting - Visually
- After closing the throttles, rotate aircraft to a slightly higher attitude than
a normal landing attitude, and contact water with minimum speed and
rate of descent.
DO NOT STALL THE AIRCRAFT
(5) Impact
Be prepared for two or more impacts. Do not unfasten seat belts or move
around until it is quite sure the aircraft has stopped moving.
Due to slow speed characteristics of the most light aircraft, the aircraft will
ditch in a satisfactory manner and provide sufficient scope for evacuation of
the occupants. Reduce fuel to lowest practical minimum before landing. Empty
or nearly empty fuel tanks will provide additional buoyancy. Ensure sufficient
fuel is available for a power on landing
(6) Alighting IFR
(a) At night all bright internal lights should be switched off. Red lights are
more suitable to accustom eyes to darkness. Use "Map" lights set to Red
on the flight deck. Set cabin lights to "Dim" .
(b) Take up a ditch heading 90 deg. to the forecast surface wind obtained
from charts, ground station or prior briefing, unless the wind speed is
above 35 knots, then into wind heading.
(c) From 1,000 feet, adjust rate of descent to 100 - 200 FPM; IAS 10 - 15
knots above the stall with full flaps.
(d) Use the RH landing light only.
(e) This approach should be maintained until the aircraft makes contact with
the water or until visual contact is establish for ditching.

(7) Cabin and Crew Preparation
The pilot in command must nominate those exits to be used.
WARNING
Do not open any exits in flight. Opening of any door before impact could
result in flooding.
(a) All exits should be used wherever practical when evacuating; down swell
exits may be the most suitable.
(b) The crew should ensure that exits are opened.
(c) State the particular exit each person should use unless circumstances
after impact dictate otherwise.
(d) Brief passengers to assist as required.
(e) Impact Position - Passengers to sit with arms cradled around knees,
head resting on arms, feet placed firmly on the floor.
(8) Stowage of Loose Equipment
All loose equipment such as hand luggage must. be stowed either under the
seats or preferably in the rear locker.
(9) Lighting
At night, after cabin prepared, switch off reading lighting and set cabin lighting
to "DIM" to accustom eyes to the darker conditions For ditching, use right.
hand landing fight only. Switch Beacon - OFF.
(10) Salvage
Items most useful will vary with circumstances but include, First Aid Kits,
torches, food, liquids, fire extinguishers, protective clothing, seat cushions
(lifebuoys),pillows and rugs. First Aid Kits are buoyant.

5.17 DITCHING
(11) Life Rafts
(a) Exiting the Aircraft
In the event of a ditching the following is recommended as a guide for
actions to be taken assuming sufficient time is available.
Normally the main door will be used in a ditching. The emergency exit
over the wing may be used if the main door has jammed. It should be
above water level.
Before opening doors or removing the emergency exit remove the life
raft from its stowage and have it ready to be passed through the exit
onto the wing. Ensure the raft is not inflated while inside the aircraft.
When ready to evacuate the aircraft check outside for any damage which
could puncture the life raft.
Remove the emergency exit, if possible delegate an able bodied person
to proceed outside to assist the other occupants out and to help move
the life raft from the cabin to the outside.
Ensure the raft is deployed down wind to avoid fouling the aircraft and
is securely restrained to avoid drifting off in high wind or seas.
(b) To deploy the raft.
After it has been removed from the aircraft in its protective valise, locate
the D ring and inflation line. Secure the inflation line to the aircraft to
prevent losing the raft. Launch the valise into the water downwind of the
wing and give the line a sharp tug which will cause the raft to inflate.
Load the occupants and any supplies available. If a second raft is
carried launch the second raft in the same manner and if possible
secure the two rafts together for better visibility.
If the aeroplane remains afloat, try to stay in the area. However be
aware that the aeroplane may sink without warning.

Activate survival beacons. Carefully read the instructions on the beacon
before using.
Follow the instructions in the survival kit. Be aware that exposure is a real
problem. Try to keep out of the sun and wind and keep as dry as possible.
Attend to the injured, maintain a lookout system, have flares or other
signalling devices ready. Collect any rain water available. Make best
use of all resources available.
(12) Water Survival Techniques - Life Raft Not Available.
If a ditching were to occur when life rafts are not available, the following water
survival techniques should be adopted.
Ensure life jackets correctly fitted and inflated after leaving the aircraft. Keep
together as individuals are more difficult to spot in the water.
Use the whistle and light to attract attention.
Do not fight the current if making for the shore. Swim at an angle across the
current and try to keep away from rocks may puncture the life jacket or may
cause injury.
If immersed in water for a considerable period try to reduce body heat loss by
adopting a foetal like position with the legs tucked up to the body.
If floating debris available use any item available to conserve strength.

6.3 REFUELLING PROCEDURES
(2) Drumstock Refuelling
Oil Company literature warns that drum stock aviation fuels are verysusceptible to contamination from rust, scale and water. Therefore, whenrefuelling from drum stocks the pilot in command must ensure that:
(a) drums have been stored on their side, above the surrounding groundlevel, with the bungs horizontal and, preferably, undercover. This is toprevent water accumulating on the drum head and being drawn into thedrum when cooling takes place during the night. The drums shall be ingood condition, not leaking, original seals are intact and product detailssuch as brand, filling date, grade required (AVGAS; AVTUR (Jet A1)),batch number, etc. are clearly visible and the stock date of the drum hasnot expired. If otherwise, the drum must be rejected;
L (b) each drum should be stood on its end and chocked so that the largebung is on the high side. This will allow sediments or water to settle tothe lowest point of the drum, away from the pump stand pipe;
(c) drums should be left standing for as long as possible and at least for aminimum of 30 minutes, prior for testing for water. In turbine fuel, waterwhen finely dispersed is not visible and takes some time for the water tosettle from suspension;
(d) the drum is then carefully checked for the presence of water. Themethod of water detection is to draw a sample from the lowest point inthe drum by means of a sample tube. This is a small diameter tubesealed at the top by the operator's thumb, inserted to the lowest point ofthe drum and thumb released. This will allow a sample of fuel from thebottom of the drum to be forced into the tube. The operator's thumb isthen replaced over the top of the tube, the tube withdrawn and thesample of fuel placed in a clear clean glass container.
(e) the fuel is checked for colour, clarity and freedom from dirt and/or wateras detailed in 6.3(1)(f) above;
(f) before adding fuel to the aeroplane's fuel tanks, the drum shall beearthed to both the ground and the aeroplane by the use of static lines.The nozzle earth line must be attached to the aeroplane prior to theremoval of the aeroplane's tank cap. The pump, filter and lines shouldbe flushed with a litre or more of fuel;
(g) the fuel is to be filtered into the aeroplane as detailed in 6.3(1)(h); ....

6.23 OPERATIONS IN ENVIRONMENTAL EXTREMES
(1) Any instructions or limitations contained in the individual aircraft Flight Manual
and manufacturer's handbook for operating in adverse weather conditions
must be strictly observed.
(2) Considerations for operating in high temperature conditions should include
- minimal use of brakes to avoid overheating;
- releasing the brakes after shutdown to avoid damage due to heat
expansion;
- degradation of take-off performance;
- affect on range performance due to reduction in fuel density;
- draining of fuel tank sumps more often, e.g. before as well as after each
refuelling;
- ensuring that all fuel vents, breather pipes and drain holes remain
completely unobstructed;
- whenever the aircraft is on the ground under surveillance of the pilot and
conditions allow, leave windows and doors open to ventilate the interior.
(3) Aircraft operating in damp humid conditions should be frequently inspected for
evidence of corrosion or lack of lubrication. More frequent inspections should
be made when operating for extended periods in areas of high airborne salt
concentrations and/or high humidity.
NOTE: Use of protective coatings and sealants will help to prevent corrosive
agents from affecting metallic surfaces.
(4) When operating in dusty conditions, more frequent attention should be paid
to the checking and cleaning of engine air inlets and filters to help preserve
engine life.
(5) The maximum demonstrated crosswind component for take-off and landing is
stated in the individual aircraft Flight Manual and that limitation should be
strictly observed.

L 6.24 USE OF OXYGEN
(1) Where a portable oxygen system is carried, the oxygen system description
and operating instructions are contained in the applicable oxygen system
Manufacturer's Handbook. A copy of the handbook shall be carried on board
the aeroplane when a portable system is to be used.
WARNING
Oil, grease, or other lubricants, soap and other fatty materials constitute
a serious fire hazard when in contact with oxygen. Be sure hands and
clothing are oil-free before handling oxygen equipment. Do not permit
smoking when using oxygen.
(2) The pilot in command shall ensure that the oxygen system is maintained at full
when suitable facilities are available to top the system up.
(3) The pilot in command shall be responsible for ensuring that sufficient oxygen
is available for use, taking into account the number of passengers, planned
flight level and duration, and that all passengers are thoroughly briefed on the
location, operation and donning procedure of the oxygen equipment installed
in the particular aircraft.
(4) Prior to take-off, each crew member shall personally check that his/her oxygen
mask is connected and the system is functioning correctly.
(5) An oxygen mask shall be worn and oxygen used by a crew member whenever
a cabin altitude of 10,000 feet is exceeded.
(6) The pilot in command shall ensure that supplementary oxygen masks are
worn by and oxygen is supplied to all passengers while the cabin altitude is
above 14,000 feet.
(7) The servicing of oxygen systems is to be carried out only by an appropriately
rated LAME.
(8) The precautions to be followed when servicing an oxygen system are detailed
in Appendix 2 to this Section.

6.25 DESCENT RATES WITH PASSENGERS ON BOARD
To ensure reasonable passenger comfort, a descent rate of 500 feet per minute
should not be exceeded unless otherwise dictated by an adverse flight condition,
equipment malfunction or ATC requirements.
6.26 TURBULENCE PENETRATION
(1) Thunderstorms, line squalls and other conditions denoting areas of violent
turbulence and/or hail must be regarded as extremely dangerous and be
positively avoided. Avoid flying within 10 kilometres horizontally of a fully
developed cumulonimbus cloud and also directly below the base of the cloud
whenever possible. Vertical air movement capable of producing extremely
severe turbulence is often present near the edge of the cloud's base, or in
clear air below the overhang of the top. An early decision to divert around a
thunderstorm will need a relatively small heading change and result in
minimum distance added to the flight.
(2) When unexpected turbulence is encountered and cannot readily be avoided:
(a) Fasten seat belts and check that all hand baggage and loose items are
securely stowed.
(b) Adjust engine power to the setting that will give the turbulence
penetration or design manoeuvring speed for the aircraft type.
(c) The 'altitude lock' of the auto pilot must be disengaged and if applicable,
'turbulence' mode selected. Whether flying the aircraft manually, or with
the auto pilot, the technique is to maintain attitude control with the
attitude indicator, accepting altitude changes and speed variations whilst
keeping the attitude within safe limits. Roll must be closely controlled,
if a large angle of bank is allowed to develop recovery can be delayed
by turbulence.
(d) Select and maintain a heading that will take the aircraft through the
turbulent area in the shortest time.
(e) Ensure that adequate terrain clearance is maintained by flying at least
the route LSALT plus 1000 feet, more in mountainous areas.
(f) Turn up the cockpit lighting when flying near thunderstorms to minimise
the effect of lightning.

(2) If a Club aircraft referred to in (1) above inadvertently encounters icing
conditions, the best course of action is to immediately turn back to escape
these conditions and if possible, change the route or altitude to where
conditions are less conducive to icing. Close attention should be given to the
pitot-static system, propellers, induction systems and other components
susceptible to icing.
6.28 NAVIGATION OF CLUB AIRCRAFT
(1) Club aeroplanes shall be navigated in accordance with the following;
(a) Operations under the Instrument Meteorological Conditions;

Landing gear retraction should be avoided until well clear of the runway, and after a
positive rate of climb has been established. On long runways, gear retraction should
be delayed until reaching a point over the runway where a gear down forced landing
on that runway could no longer be made. Before retraction of the landing gear, the
brakes may be applied momentarily to stop tire rotation. Completion of the landing
gear retraction cycle is indicated by all position lights being out.)
CLIMB
For cruise climb, establish a power configuration of 26 inches Hg. Manifold pressure of
full throttle (use lower of the two) and 2600 RPM, with an airspeed of approximately 85-90
Kts (98 to 104 MPH) IAS. Adjust cowl flaps to maintain engine temperature within limits.
For maximum climb, establish a power configuration of full throttle and 2700 RPM, with
an airspeed of approximately 80 to 90 Kts (92-104 MPH) IAS. Adjust cowl flaps to
maintain engine temperature within limits.

For Maximum engine service life, cylinder head temperatures should be maintained below
435°F during high performance cruise operation and 400°F for economy cruise settings.
To obtain greater cruising range at a specified throttle setting, select the lowest engine
RPM in the green arc range on the tachometer that will give smooth engine operation.

When changing power settings, it is advisable to always increase RPM (with the propeller
control) before increasing manifold pressure, and to reduce manifold pressure (with the
throttle) before reducing RPM. Always remain within the established operating limits and
operate throttle and propeller controls slowly and smoothly.
(Note: Do not exceed 24 In.Hg. manifold pressure when below 2400 RPM.)
Fuel injector impact ice, which may form under certain atmospheric conditions causing an
unexplained loss of power, can be removed by application of full induction heat. Upon
regaining the original power indication, return the induction air control to the COLD
position. Induction filter ice can also form, as indicated by a drop in manifold pressure.
Full induction heat should be applied in this situation to regain the original manifold
pressure indication.

COLD WEATHER OPERATIONS
The starting procedure for cold weather operation is basically the same as that presentedin the Normal Procedures.
Warning: Before performing the External Inspection, remove any accumulations of frost,ice or snow from wings, tail and all flight control surfaces.
Warning: Before pulling a propeller through by hand, check ignition switch OFF, andvisually check the security of magneto ground wire attachment to prevent inadvertentengine firing.
In extremely cold weather, the use of external preheaters and the availability of anexternal power unit (if your aircraft is equipped with the optional ground servicereceptacle) are recommended to reduce wear and abuse to the engine and to conservebattery energy. Also, caution should be exercised to prevent inadvertent forwardmovement of the aircraft when started on icy or snow-packed surfaces. The position ofthe Master Switch is important in starting operations using external power. Beforeconnecting external power to the aircraft, the BATT half of the split master Switch shouldbe turned ON, and the ALT portion of the Master Switch left OFF. After the engine hasstarted, disconnect the external power. The Alt half of the Master Switch should then beturned ON to allow normal electrical system charging.

(c) Switch ON front magneto switch, on receipt of"CONTACT" from ground engineer.
(d) Switch ON rear magneto switch when engine is running.(e) Warm engine for 4 minutes at 800 rpm with 30psi minimum oil pressure.(f) Check for magneto drop, by running engine at 1500rpm and switching off each
magneto in turn. The drop in rpm should not exceed 50.(g) Run engine at full throttle for 10 seconds (1900 - 2100rpm) at which the
minimum oil pressure should be 30psi.(h) Slacken throttle friction nut for taxying.
TAXYING3. (a) Hold the control column well back (except when taxying downwind), to keep
the tail on the ground and increase the effectiveness of the rudder control.Short bursts of throttle are necessary for turning purposes; brakes are notfitted.
(b) The forward view from the cockpits on the ground is restricted and a zigzagcourse should be steered to see the path ahead is clear.
TAKE OFF
4. (a) Set trimmer control two-thirds forward.(b) Tighten throttle friction nut.(c) Set mixture control at RICH (BACK). (d) See that the slats are unlocked (if locking gear is fitted).(e) Check oil pressure; approximately 40psiminimum 30psi.

STARTING WITH EXTERNAL POWER SOURCECAUTION: It is possible to use the ship's battery in parallel by turning only thebattery master switch ON. This will give longer cranking capabilities, but will notincrease the amperage. Care should be exercised because if the ship's battery hasbeen depleted, the external power supply can be reduced to the level of the ship'sbattery. This can be tested by turning on the battery master switch momentarilywhile the starter is engaged. If cranking speed increases, the ship's battery is at ahigher level than the external power supply.
NOTE: For all normal operations using external power, the battery master and alternatorswitches should be OFF.

PRECAUTIONS WHEN USING HIGH PRESSURE OXYGEN
A.6.1.. The servicing of aircraft oxygen systems is to be carried out only by anappropriately rated LAME or a person who has Maintenance Approval for thepurpose.
A.6.2.. Oxygen by itself is a non-flammable oxidising gas, however oxygen vigorouslysupports combustion. Almost all materials are combustible and will burn moreactively and at higher temperatures in the presence of pure oxygen. Somematerials which do not burn in air will burn readily in oxygen enrichedatmospheres, some other materials may spontaneously combust in an oxygenrich environment, and if the concentration of oxygen is sufficiently high, thecombustion of these materials may take the form of a violent explosion.
A.6.3.. Contamination In Oxygen Systems
(1) Contaminants in oxygen systems are potential fire or explosion hazards.When a gas is compressed it releases energy in the form of heat. When thegas is compressed quickly inside a closed system such as a container orpiping, temperatures inside the system can rise sharply. In an oxygen system,this rise in temperature can be high enough to cause explosive ignition ofcontaminants such as oil, grease, solvents and materials such as dust, lint,metal chips and many organic materials.
(2) Oxygen flowing at high speed through valves and piping systems can alsopropel contaminants with such force that friction or impact between particlescan raise their temperature to the ignition point. The ignition of these particlesmay be enough to cause heavier metal sections to ignite and cause a majoraccident.
A.6.4.. Moisture In Oxygen Systems
(1) The presence of moisture in an oxygen system with valves located in anunheated parts of the aircraft may cause the valves to freeze, rendering thesystem inoperative. Moisture may also cause internal cylinder corrosion,sufficient cause for condemning the cylinder.
(2) In order to help prevent moisture contamination, aircraft oxygen systemsshould only be charged with Aviators Breathing Oxygen.

PRECAUTIONS WHEN USING HIGH PRESSURE OXYGEN
A.6.5.. Minimum Positive Pressure
A cylinder that has been fully depleted may allow the ingress of moisture and/orcontaminants so oxygen cylinders should be maintained at a positive pressure atall times. Cylinders that have been depleted to zero PSI must be removed from theaircraft and internally inspected prior to refilling.
A.6.6.. Safety Precautions
(1) The following safety precautions should always be followed:
(a) Always handle bottles and gauges with care.
(b) Do not drop pressurised components;
(c) Allow only authorised, approved personnel to service, repair or overhauloxygen equipment;
(d) Follow the manufacturer's instructions for operation, maintenance andoverhaul procedures;
(e) Never use oil or grease in, on or around oxygen equipment;
(f) Ensure that tools used are clean of contaminants and are non-sparking;

Page 1RISK SEVERITY, LIKELIHOOD AND RISK RATING MATRIX TABLES
Hazard identification is the determination of a condition with the potential of causing injury to Clubpersonnel, damage to Club equipment or reduction in the ability to perform a function. Risk is the chanceof injury or loss and the magnitude.
SEVERITY
4 Catastrophic • Loss of aircraft.• Multiple fatalities.
3 Hazardous • Large reduction in safety margins.• Physical distress or a high workload such that flight crew. cannot be relied
upon to perform their tasks accurately or completely.• Serious or fatal injuries to a relative small number of occupants.
2 Major • significant reduction in safety margins.• Reduction in the ability of the flight crew to cope with adverse operating
conditions impairing their efficiency.
1 Minor • Nuisance.• operating limitations or emergency procedures.
LIKELIHOOD
4 Probable • May occur once or several times during operational life.
3 Remote • Unlikely to occur during total operational life of each system but may occurseveral times when considering several systems of the same type.
2 ExtremelyRemote
• Unlikely to occur when considering systems of the same type, butnevertheless, has to be considered as being possible.
1 ExtremelyImprobable
• Should virtually never occur in the whole fleet life.

fires. Oxygen is a strong supporter of combustion and can cause self
ignition of finely divided organic material.
(b) vapour is leaking, ensure the package is exposed to maximum
ventilation and minimum temperature, and safeguard against possible
ignition by spark or flame; or
(c) liquid is leaking, prevent it from spreading by soaking up with an
absorbent material. Do not attempt to wash it away as the use of water
may spread the danger further; or
(d) If fire occurs, move containers that are exposed to flames/heat if this
can be done without risk, apply appropriate fire extinguisher/s to seat of
flames and call local emergency services.
(6) Corrosives (Class 8)
(a) Corrosives are any liquid or solid material which is considered to be
destructive to materials and metals or which may cause irreversible
alteration to human skin and other living tissue. Fumes can be
dangerous if inhaled and can also cause severe irritation to the eyes.
(b) If a package bearing the 'CORROSIVE' label is found to be leaking, provide
maximum ventilation, avoid skin contact and inhalation and protect eyes.
(c) There is also the risk of fire where a corrosive substance comes into
contact with an organic material or other chemicals, as chemical action
can generate considerable heat leading to spontaneous combustion.
(d) Isolate the hazard if this can be done without risk, but do not attempt to
cleanse the area where the leak had occurred except under supervision.
If the leak occurs in an aircraft an appropriately licensed aircraft
maintenance engineer shall conduct the supervision.

POLICY STATEMENT
The health, well-being and safety of personnel are of paramount importance
to the Club. All individuals have a right to be safe at the Club’s workplace.
Alcohol and Other Drugs (AOD), when present in persons in the workplace,
have the potential to increase risk of harm in the workplace and adversely
impact upon fitness for work.
The Club has a duty of care to minimise the risk of accident, incident and
injury in the workplace arising from the consumption of alcohol or other
drugs. The purpose of this policy is to outline the strategies and processes
that will be used by the Club to manage the risks associated with use, or
recent use, of alcohol or other drugs by persons in the workplace.
The Club takes a multi-strategy approach that incorporates education,
support, testing and performance management. The policy is based on
safety outcomes and not whether a positive test result is illicit or legal. This
policy also recognises permissible therapeutic drug use under the guidance
of a physician or pharmacist.

less than 90 days before the person is required to begin performing or
being available to perform a SSAA and the test results were not positive
results.
(b) A person will be tested for alcohol and testable drugs after an accident
or serious incident involving a SSAA employee that occurs whilst they
are performing, or available to perform, a SSAA, provided that suitable
test conditions exist. Refer to 10.6(7) below.
(c) A Club SSAA employee will be tested if a DAMP Supervisor has
reasonable grounds to believe that employee may be adversely affected
by an alcohol or testable drugs while performing, or available to perform,
a SSAA. The DAMP Supervisor shall complete a “Reasonable Suspicion
Record” detailing the grounds, testing and results. A copy of this record
is shown at Appendix 3 to this Section.
(d) A Club SSAA employee will be tested for alcohol and testable drugs if

10.7 DRUG AND ALCOHOL TESTING PROCESS
(1) Pre-employment drug or alcohol testing undertaken by a prospective
employee shall be conducted by a testing provider at the prospective
employee’s expense. The test for drugs shall be in the form of urine testing.
The results of this testing shall be presented to the Club DAMP Supervisor
before the employee engages in SSAAs.
(2) Club employees conducting non-SSAAs who are to engage in SSAAs at the
request of the Club, shall undergo drug or alcohol testing conducted by a
testing provider nominated by the Club at Club's expense.
(3) Where drug or alcohol testing is requested by the DAMP Supervisor, the
testing shall be conducted by a testing provider nominated by the Club. Where
circumstances permit, this test shall be carried out onsite. The method of
testing shall be in accordance with sub-section 10.6(8).
(4) Refusal to submit to, or co-operate fully with the administration of an alcohol
or other drug test will be treated as a positive result. Failure to provide a
sample to an authorised CASA tester is an offence under CASR Part 99 and
penalties apply.
(5) Adulteration of an individuals’ sample or tampering with the sample in any way
will be regarded as a breach of policy and treated as a positive screening.
(6) Where an individual returns a positive alcohol reading (a reading of 0.02
BAC), a confirmatory test will be conducted by the testing provider 15 minutes
after the initial test. If the second test confirms the initial reading, the
management processes set out in 10.8 will apply.
(7) Where an individual returns a initial positive drug test, they will be required
to provide a second sample for confirmatory screening at an accredited
laboratory.
(8) Confirmatory tests for alcohol will be conducted 15 minutes after the initial
test. Confirmatory testing for other drugs may take up to three days and is to
be conducted off-site by an accredited laboratory.

10.7 DRUG AND ALCOHOL TESTING PROCESS
(9) The testing procedure shall be witnessed at all times by both the donor and
the approved tester. The sample shall be split into sample A and sample B,
Splitting the sample ensures that the same sample that was tested in the
approved laboratory (sample A), is available in a second secure tamper proof
container (sample B) for the donor if they choose to get the sample tested
again. The donor can elect to have the B sample tested by the same
laboratory that tested sample A, or have it transported using strict chain of
custody procedures to a second approved laboratory.
10.8 DRUG AND ALCOHOL RESPONSE PROGRAM
(1) The DAMP Supervisor shall complete a “Drug and Alcohol Response Record”
detailing the testing and results. A copy of this record is shown at Appendix
4 to this Section.
(2) Where an employee’s initial drug test indicates a positive result for at least
one of the testable drugs and the confirmatory testing confirms a negative
test result or an “innocent positive”, i.e. legitimately required/prescribed
medication, or the DAMP Medical Review Officer determines the positive test
is the result of legitimate therapeutic treatment or some other innocuous
source, that employee will not be subjected to any disciplinary processes.
However that employee shall be counselled as to;
(a) the dangers of prescription and “over the counter” medication; and
(b) the need to inform the employee’s medical practitioner or chemist of the
type of employment undertaken by the employee.
(3) Where a Club employee returns a positive initial test for drugs conducted in
accordance with this program or as a result of CASA random testing, that
employee will not be permitted to perform SSAA. The employee shall be
stood down from duty and safe transport home will be provided.
(4) In the event a contractor returns a positive initial test, the contractor will not
be permitted to perform SSAA for the Club at that time. The contractor’s
employer shall be contacted and the employee will be required to provide

2.5 POINT OF NO RETURN
(1) The technique of flying to a point of no return (PNR) can be very useful in dayto day operations when the available fuel load is limited and/or headwinds areforecast It should not be the norm in planning but will often give an otherwiseunattainable sector distance.
(2) Club procedure is as follows:
(a) Flight plan to a suitable aerodrome on the intended route in the normalmanner. All standard flight fuel reserves must be carried. The aerodromeobviously must have fuel available and facilities for passengers. As thisaerodrome is approached, use the ambient conditions and remaining fuelon board to calculate a time to a PNR from this aerodrome towards theintended destination.
(b) When approaching the PNR replan the fuel required with reserves tocontinue from the PNR to the destination. In most cases if reasonablecalculations have been made at the planning stage the aim will be achievable.
(3) Time to PNR = Flight fuel (mins) x GS return / GS out + GS return
2.6 CRITICAL POINT
(1) There may be times when operating long distances and operating at nightwhen normal emergency strips are not available that it would be necessary toknow the sector equi-distance point.
(2) Distance to CP= Distance x GS return / GS out + GS return
2.7 LATEST DIVERT TIME/POINT
(1) No flight shall depart any station unless the pilot in command has ensured thatsufficient fuel is carried in the tanks so that no less than the minimum quantitiesspecified below will be on board upon arrival at the destination airport, or at thealternate airport if an alternate is required.
(2) If a successful approach and landing at the destination aerodrome appearsmarginal due to weather or any other reason, the pilot in command shalldetermine the latest divert time or position to proceed to a suitable alternate.The divert time/position shall be determined so as to allow the aeroplane toland at the alternate with the required fuel reserves intact.

08/00 FLIGHT PLANNING AND PERFORMANCE A-B2-4
2.7 LATEST DIVERT TIME/POINT
(3) While enroute, should the pilot in command become aware that insufficient fuel
remains in the aircraft fuel tanks to ensure landing at the destination or
alternate airport with no less than the required fuel reserves, he or she shall
land at a suitable alternate airfield so as to have no less than the specified
minimum fuel on board after landing. If no suitable alternate airfield is
available, a fuel emergency shall be declared with ATS or if unable to make
contact with ATS a fuel emergency broadcast shall be made on area
frequency. Immediately that a fuel shortage is realised, the pilot in command
should adopt a power setting for the aircraft that will give maximum endurance.
Time to prepare for a forced landing due to fuel starvation should be taken if
a suitable airfield does not exist to divert to.

GENERAL CONDITIONS
0.1 CIVIL AVIATION REGULATION REQUIREMENTS
(1) For the purposes of sub section 27(9) of the Civil Aviation Act 1988,
commercial purposes are defined by CAR 206.
(2) The specialised operations detailed in Part D of this Operations Manual are
prescribed as Aerial Work purposes in accordance with sub section (1)(a) of
CAR 206;
(3) Pilots are reminded, however, that the primary categorisation of a flight may be
in fact be charter, as prescribed by CAR 206(1)(b), in which case, the
provisions of Part D of this Manual do not apply and the flight may not be
conducted in accordance with these provisions. For example, flight below 500
ft AGL is not authorised and the conditions detailed in the CASA Approval
issued in pursuance of CAR 157 (i.e. the "Company's Low Flying Permit, refer
to sub-section 1.2 of Section A2, Part A1") do not apply.
(4) Commonsense must nevertheless be applied at all times to ensure that
bona-fide charter passengers are not exposed to the additional risks which
accompany low level flight. Bona-fide aerial work passengers and crew, i.e.
operators of fixed-in-aircraft cameras, are generally aware of these risks,
whereas others may not be. The mere fact, for example, that a charter
passenger may be carrying a camera (even a sophisticated camera) or, in fact,
that the person may be a professional photographer, does not automatically
imply that the nature of a particular charter flight may be altered to make the
flight an aerial work flight. Accordingly, flight at altitudes lower than those
associated with normal charter operations (ie not below 500 ft AGL) is NOT
authorised in these circumstances.
(5) In addition, passengers who are carried in the course of a normal aerial work
operation, as prescribed In Part D of this Manual, shall be clearly briefed
before flight that the operation is aerial work and not charter and that the
compulsory seat liability insurance as required by CASA for charter
passengers is not applicable to the operation.

GENERAL CONDITIONS
0.4 LOW FLYING APPROVAL
(1) Except as provided for in relevant Civil Aviation Orders, a Company aeroplane
shall not engage in any specialised operations involving flight at a lower height
than 500 feet above ground level unless, as required by CAR 157(4)(b), the
Company is in possession of a general permit for all flights or a specific permit
for a single flight to be made at the lower height and the pilot has the
necessary low flying qualifications..
0.5 AIRCRAFT OPERATION
(1) Flight with any door, window or other panel of the aeroplane open, removed
or modified, or with any special function equipment fitted, is not permitted
unless provision is made in the individual aircraft Flight Manual for operation
with the particular door, window or panel open, removed or modified, or with
the special equipment fitted, as the case may be
(2) The pilot in command shall ensure that fuel selectors are selected to 'BOTH' or
'MAINS' and the auxiliary fuel pumps selected 'ON' while engaged in low flying
operations.
0.6 CARRIAGE OF PERSONS
(1) A Company aeroplane engaging in specialised operations shall not carry any
person other than a person who is essential to the successful conduct of the
operation subject to the pilot in command being satisfied that the person on
board will not jeopardise the safety of the aeroplane at any stage of the operation.
(2) The pilot in command shall fully brief all passengers on the conduct of the
particular specialised operation in which they are engaged.
0.7 TOWING, DROPPING OF ARTICLES ETC.
Except when conducting operations in accordance with this Part, the Company
specifically prohibits the pilot in command of a Company aeroplane from towing,
dropping or picking up of any person or object while that aeroplane is in flight.

GENERAL CONDITIONS
0.8 LOW LEVEL OPERATIONS
The following should always be kept in mind:
(1) The pilot's singular responsibility is to control the aeroplane and ensure that
the maximum degree of safety is maintained throughout all phases of the
operation, therefore, the pilot may cancel or terminate a flight at any stage if
he/she considers that it is not prudent to continue due to adverse weather or
other factors affecting safety.
(2) Company pilots shall obtain and study topographical charts for the intended
area of operations and shall pay particular attention the location of obstacles
that may hazardous to the intended operation.
(3) Transit flying during any specialised operation shall not be conducted below
500 feet AGL.
(4) Before descending to conduct low level operations, the pilot in command shall
conduct a reconnaissance of the area and identify the hazards noted from the
study of the charts and to make a note of other hazards not indicated on the
charts.
(5) Maintain a constant look-out for objects such as dead trees, telephone andpower lines, masts, towers and aerials (all of which are difficult to see againstthe landscape), large birds of prey and/or flocks of smaller birds particularlyin the early morning and late afternoon periods, or if in the vicinity of any placesuch as wooded hilly areas, water holes, permanent camp sites, etc. that arelikely to attract birds.
(6) In all instances other than when over flat terrain, it is recommended that the pilot
adopt the same technique as for flight in bad visibility and reduce airspeed to the
lowest safe cruise speed applicable to that aeroplane.
(7) Care should be exercised when rising terrain is encountered, that it does not
exceed the maximum climbing performance of the particular aeroplane. Under
no circumstances must the pilot attempt to out climb sharply rising terrain.
(8) The pilot must be constantly aware of the direction and speed of the surface
wind and the possibility of encountering differing local winds, downdraughts,
etc. caused by contrasting terrain features. ....

08/00 SECTION DO DO-5
GENERAL CONDITIONS
0.8 LOW LEVEL OPERATIONS
The following should always be kept in mind: (Cont’d)
(9) The pilot could also fall victim to the illusions created by drift near the groundwhen the surface wind is other than light and variable. Remember that:
(a) flying into wind will produce a noticeable reduction in ground speed;
(b) when flying downwind under certain conditions, the increase in groundspeed may be so noticeable that the pilot could be tempted to reduceindicated airspeed with disastrous results;
(c) when the wind is strong enough to produce a drift, turns are deceptive.For example
- when turning downwind from into wind, the aeroplane gives theimpression of slipping-in; and
- when turning into wind from downwind, the aeroplane appears to skidout.
WARNING
Low level turns must always be correctly executed in spite of the deceptiveappearance of the ground (although the drift is real) and because of thisphenomenon, the pilot must be especially careful to allow sufficient roomwhen turning from downwind to into-wind in a confined manoeuvring area.
0.9 OVERWATER OPERATIONS
(1) There are special problems associated with flying low over water. lf the waterit rough, height can be judged with fair accuracy, but when flying over a calm,glassy sea or expanse of water, particularly in hazy condition, the judgementof height can be very difficult and there may be little or no virtual differencebetween 50 and 250 feet. Water spray, in particular salt water spray. on thewindscreen can reduce visibility considerably.
(2) The aneroid altimeter is unreliable as a height reference and therefore the useof a radio altimeter, if fitted, it of major assistance in height control
(3) All persons on board a Company aeroplane conducting operations under thisPart are required to wear life jackets at all times when operating over water.

(1) All inspection flights shall be carried out in visual meteorological conditionsand the pilot in command must adhere to the following ... (Cont’d)
(e) Wherever possible, the powerlines being inspected should be kept onthe pilot's side of the aircraft.
(f) Where powerlines run parallel with a roadway, the aircraft shall bepositioned to the side of the line away from the road.
(g) Position the aircraft approximately 60 metres (200 feet) to one side and100 feet above the line to be inspected. Remember that distance froma single conductor is virtually impossible to judge by human eye and theflight path must therefore be regulated by reference to other visualfeatures.
(h) If visual contact with the conductor(s) is lost, immediately turn 90 degreesaway from the powerline and re-approach the line at a pole. Never lookback - if unsure reposition the aircraft for another inspection pass.
(i) When inspecting lengthy cable spans ensure that the increasing angleof the conductor, when combined with rising terrain, will not exceed themaximum climbing angle of the aircraft.
(j) Powerlines located on sharply rising terrain or traversing steep slopesshall be inspected on down hill runs and then only if the pilot incommand is able to establish that there is a satisfactory escape route forthe aircraft upon completion of the down hill run.
(k) If operating in mountainous areas beware of the sudden temporaryreduction in visibility when passing from sunlight to shade and vise-versa.
(l) In areas of flat terrain, the aircraft may be flown in the normal cruiseconfiguration but in every other circumstance, adopt the same techniqueas for flight in bad visibility and reduce airspeed to the lowest safe cruisespeed specified for that aircraft.
(2) It is emphasised that ultimately the sole authority for the safety of theoperation is the pilot in command who may cancel or terminate a sortie at anystage because of adverse weather or other factors affecting safety.
