FLIGHT CREW

TRAINING MANUAL
42/72 - 500
NORMAL, ABNORMAL &
EMERGENCY PROCEDURES

EDITION JUNE 2023

 FOREWORD

This Flight Crew Training Manual is an essential tool to learn the ATR standard operating
procedures. It has been conceived as the standard baseline for all ATR flight crew training.
To facilitate the learning process, procedures are presented in a pedagogical and user-friendly
way, with, when necessary, a visualization of cockpit flows and schematics of flight patterns.

This manual is a comprehensive document that efficiently complements FCOM procedures.

In the Normal Procedures part, procedures are presented with detailed task sharing and
include standard call outs. Additional procedures relating to specific operations and to
equipments uses are part of this manual.

In the Emergency & Abnormal Procedures part, the general management of abnormal
situations is explained. Then, a detailed presentation of the procedures to apply per specific
situation is made.

NB: Should you find any discrepancy in the emergency procedures between the FCTM and
the AFM, please follow the AFM procedures.

The Training and Flight Operations support team.

1. CREW
CM1 is the Captain, in the left hand seat and CM2 is the first officer, in the right hand seat.

PF is the Pilot Flying. PM is the Pilot Monitoring.

2. PROCEDURE
Each flight phase is associated with a specific list of action designated as “procedure” and performed by
crew from memory.

A procedure is triggered by “XXX procedure’’ callout. It is performed before the relevant checklist.

Example: Before take-off procedure

3. CHECKLIST
Normal checklists are used to check that main actions were correctly performed.

NOTE: Procedures and checklists contained in this manual comply with all relevant sections of AFM, FCOM and QRH.

4. EMERGENCY & ABNORMAL SITUATION

4.1. EMERGENCY SITUATION
ICAO definition
A condition of being threatened by serious and/or imminent danger and requiring immediate assistance.

It’s generally triggered by Master Warning + Continuous Repetitive Chime + red light on CAP, and refers
to an Emergency C/L (red).

Example: Engine fire, Smoke

4.2. ABNORMAL SITUATION

ICAO definition
A condition involving an aircraft or other vehicle safety, or some onboard or insight person but not requiring
immediate assistance.

It’s generally triggered by Master Caution + Single Chime + amber light on CAP, and refer to a Following
failure C/L (amber). If no immediate action is required, PF may delay crew actions or C/L, if necessary.

Example: Pack valve fault

5. TASK SHARING
The final decision always belongs to the Captain.

When it comes to procedures, general task sharing as stated below is applicable:

PF is in charge of: PM is in charge of:

• Flight Path • Flight path, navigation & systems

• Navigation monitoring

• Aircraft configuration • Communication

• Procedure initiation • Checklist reading

During Emergency or abnormal C/L,

PF is in charge of communication

6. FUNCTION ASSIGNMENT
CM1 & CM2 take turns for PF & PM, as decided in the crew briefing, below 70 knots on ground CM1 is
always PF.

IMPORTANT: Pilot actually flying keeps his function throughout emergency and/or abnormal procedures. Following emergency
or abnormal events, PF assesses the situation then suggests a decision, ratified by the Captain.

TRANSFERRING FLIGHT CONTROLS

When flight controls transfer occurs, the following callout is used:
“YOU HAVE CONTROLS”

Pilot being assigned PF functions, takes control and calls back:

“I HAVE CONTROLS”

Pilot previously assigned as PF will release flight controls only when the new PF has taken controls.

Following PF / PM functions transfer in flight, crew must reassign and check AFCS coupling side to the new
PF.

Whenever possible and prior to transfer, PF must call back main flight path parameters to PM.
After transfer ADU/FMA must be checked.

7. SAFETY RECOMMENDATIONS
7.1. EXECUTING GIVEN COMMANDS
Crew members must keep each other informed of any performed action. PF commands, PM performs and
calls completed action.

7.2. STERILE COCKPIT PHILOSOPHY

Between ground and flight level 100, except for noting and acknowledging ATC clearances, the crew must
always avoid distractions i.g. paper work. Short term GNSS revision can be accomplished by PF provided
AUTO PILOT is engaged. AP can be engaged by PF.

Both crew members are held responsible for anti collision monitoring tasks (outside by appropriate and
specific visual scans and inside by permanently listening and monitoring ATC frequencies and TCAS displays).

Unnecessary chats must be banned while requests and call outs must be limited to pertinent and relevant
technical communications between ground and Flight Level 100.

7.3. HEADSET OPERATIONS

CAT.OP.MPA.215

Each flight crew member required to be on duty on the flight deck shall wear a headset with boom microphone
or equivalent. The headset shall be used as the primary device for voice communications with ATS:

– when on the ground: when receiving the ATC departure clearance via voice communication; and
when engines are running.

– when in flight: below transition altitude; or 10 000 ft, whichever is higher.

– whenever deemed necessary by the Captain.

In the conditions above, the boom microphone or equivalent shall be in a position that permits its use for
two-way radio communications.

7.4. SAFETY BELTS AND HARNESSES

CAT.OP.MPA.225

Crew members

1. During take-off and landing, and whenever deemed necessary by the commander in the interest of safety,
each crew member shall be properly secured by all safety belts and harnesses provided.

2. During other phases of the flight each flight crew member on the flight deck shall keep his/her safety belt
fastened while at his/her station.

7.5. CABIN CREW

Pilots must inform cabin crew of all significant flight phase initiation.
• Take-off
• Entering and/or leaving turbulence area
• Descent
• Before landing
• Technical problem(s) influencing cabin procedures

Following appropriate announcement, cabin crew must:

• Secure loose servicing materials, and stay on service seat
• Start a technical or commercial action
• Apply a specific procedure

8. CROSS CONTROL
Cross check is a key safety factor.

Any pilot action that affects flight parameters (flight path, speed or a system status) must be called out loud
by any pilot and cross-checked by the other one.

To allow an efficient cross check:

• Each pilot must be familiar with the other crew member procedures.
• Procedures must be entirely and accurately followed.

If an indication is not in compliance with a performed action, crew members must check that involved
systems are correctly set and/or take any necessary action to correct the discrepancy.

PM can be temporarily busy (ATC message, listening to weather, reading operating manuals, performing
related procedure action, etc). Any significant status change (AFCS, ADU, systems...) must be reported to
PM when his attention is restored.

16. FLOWS
During their mission, crew members have several sequences of tasks to perform. These sequences are
defined by the manufacturer to:

• Fit the design of the aircraft,

• Prioritize the tasks,
• Organize the workload on board.

When a sequence of tasks is necessary to complete the requirements of a flight phase, they are organized
in Standard Operational Procedures (SOPs).

Example: Before Take-Off Procedure

In order to achieve the procedures, the SOPs tasks are organized in an ergonomic and logical order with
regards to the instruments and the systems the pilots have to use. The physical progression to achieve this
procedure is called “Flow”.

The completion of these flows facilitates the pilot activity and the memorization of the procedures.

AT ALL TIME
• The appropriate level of automation depends upon the situation and the task. Pilot judgement prevails,
including selecting manual flight.
• Understand the implication of the intended level of automation.
• Select the intended level.
• Confirm the expected aircraft reaction.

3 - UNDERSTAND YOUR ADU/FMA AT ALL TIMES

• Monitor your ADU/FMA
• Announce your ADU/FMA
• Confirm your ADU/FMA
• Understand your ADU/FMA.

17. AUTO FLIGHT CONTROL SYSTEM (AFCS)

17.1. AP/FD USE PHILOSOPHY
The Auto Pilot (AP) and the Flight Director (FD) assist the flight crew to fly the aircraft within the normal flight
envelop in order to:

– Optimize performance in take-off, go-around, climb, or descent.

– Follow ATC clearance
– Fly the aircraft with very high accuracy in approach.

AP takes over routine tasks, giving PF the necessary time and resources to assess the overall operational
situation.

FD provides adequate attitude or flight path orders enabling the PF to accurately handle the aircraft.

IMPORTANT: WHEN THE AP IS NOT REQUIRED (low workload or no airspace requirements), PILOTS ARE
ENCOURAGED TO EXERCISE MANUAL FLYING SKILLS.

AP USE
Refer to AFM limitations, that can differ according to avionics version.

FD USE

When AP is not used, PF should follow the FD bars guidance or remove FD bars display (use of
STBY on AFCS).

AP/FD MAIN INTERFACES

There are 4 main interfaces with AP/FD:

– AFCS (Automatic Flight Control System)

– ADU (Advisory Display Unit)
– FMA (Flight Mode Annunciator)
– MCDU (Multi Control Display Unit)

AFCS CONTROL PANEL

Mode selection is achieved by acting on the corresponding PB on the AFCS control panel except for ALT
SEL and GO AROUND modes.

Simultaneously armed modes are limited to one lateral mode and two vertical modes. Therefore vertical
armed modes are working in the following priority sequence:
1. ILS GS ARMED
2. ALT SEL ARMED

Climb or descent action must be done with the entire following sequence:
1) Adjust ALT SEL
2) Select and adjust vertical mode; usually IAS for climb and VS for descent(1)
3) Adjust speed bug.
4) Change altimeter setting and crosscheck
5) Adjust power as required.

IAS mode must be used during climb for stall protection. VS mode must be used during descent (except
(1)

in emergency descent & Drift Down for which IAS mode is used). The basic pitch mode may be used in
accordance with current operator’s policy.

NAV (VOR, LOC and LNAV) and APP modes must be associated with High Bank speeds.

The mode choice is a strategic decision that is taken by the PF. The modes can be automatically or manually
selected.

Advanced Mode Manual Mode

or
To fly along the pre-planned F-PLN For Specific ATC requests
entered in the MCDU

Whenever the autopilot is engaged, PF sets the AFCS. As with all allocation of duties, in case of high workload,
actions may be delegated to PM.
When the autopilot is off, PF orders PM to set AFCS. E.g. Set HDG 250. The only exception is following go-
around, where PM is authorized to set AFCS to an appropriate mode after landing gear selected up without
specific order from PF.
The heading bug is generally centered on the aircraft heading in LNAV and V/LOC modes. On approaches
linked to STAR, it is recommended to set heading bug to runway heading when cleared for approach to aid
situation awareness.
Only changed and new modes are announced.
Announce the parameter first and the value second (some examples: “heading 120”, “course 324”, “VS -700”)
Settings are announced after they have been set, not while the selector is still in motion or the value is being
changed.
Announce lateral modes first, vertical modes second (for example “HDG SEL, LO/HI, IAS”)
Announce active modes first, armed modes second (for example: “IAS green, ALT white”)
When setting mode, announce which button was pressed and read ADU and FMA (examples: “APP mode
set, LOC white, GS white”, “NAV mode set, LNAV white”, “Autopilot ON, AP green”)
The pilot pressing the buttons makes the callout, the other pilot reads own side ADU/FMA before announcing
“check”. The only exception is for modes which capture without any particular button pressed (ALT*, ALT,
LOC*, LOC, GS*, GS, etc.) which are announced by PF for PM to crosscheck.

ATR 72

ATR 42

For system use in normal operations, any setting change must be performed through the cross
control concept:
PF: orders system action.
PM: performs the action and announces the configuration when the setting is in compliance
with the system indicator
Flaps manoeuvers are always ordered by PF and performed by PM. PM checks the speed before
each configuration change then performs the task and announces the new configuration.

26. STABILIZATION POLICY

26.1. INTRODUCTION
Worldwide Flight Safety Community studies show that 50% of public transport accidents:
Occur during approach or landing phase
Are direct or indirect consequence of an unstabilized approach

ATR Training Centre established procedures to ensure each approach letdown to an airport is accomplished
using stabilized approaches, matching industry standard criteria.

26.2.STABILIZATION CRITERIA
Approaches must be stabilized:
• 1000 ft AAL in IMC conditions
• 500 ft AAL in VMC conditions
• 300 ft AAL following circle-to-land

An approach is considered stabilized when all of the following criteria are met:
• Lateral path (Loc, Radial or RNAV path) is tracked
• Landing configuration is established
• Energy management:
– Vertical path (Glide, Altitude versus Distance or RNAV path) is tracked
– Power setting is consistent with appropriate aircraft weight, Head/Tail wind component and
vertical guidance requirements
– S peed and pitch attitude are relevant to actual conditions
• Briefing and checklists are completed
• Aircraft trimed if AP off

26.3. DEVIATIONS
Stabilization criteria: Only small deviations are allowed if immediately called out and corrected:
• Lateral guidance on final approach segment: Not more than 1 DOT deviation for all approaches
• Vertical path on final approach segment: Not more than 1 DOT deviation or + or - 100 ft for 2D
operation
• Altitude deviation at DA or MDA: +50 / -0 ft
• Speed +/- 5kt (+10/-5 kt in single eng)

Stabilization technique: Only small adjustments in pitch and/or heading are allowed to stay on track:
• Maximum rate of descent adjustments are ±300 ft per minute from target rate
• Bank angles are no more than 15°
• Localizer guidance adjustments are done within heading bug width
• GS guidance adjustments must be within ±2° of pitch change

FOR TRAINING ONLY 77

 NORMAL PROCEDURES
GENERAL PROCEDURES JUNE 23
& POLICIES
42-500 72-500

All deviations must be called out loud by PM or PF. Whoever identifies deviation first shall use the following
Call-outs:

“SPEED” “LOC” “GLIDE” “VERTICAL SPEED”

PF must answer “CORRECTING …” and immediately correct the deviation.

Stabilization objective (read on the altimeter):

- IMC : 1000 FT AAL

- VMC : 500 FT AAL

- CIRCLE TO LAND : 300 FT AAL

27. ATR TRAINING CENTER NAVIGATION POLICY

ATC overall policy is to make maximum use of GNSS and automatic flight where compatible with the flight
crew project and local regulations. However, in order to maintain basic piloting skills, manual flying is
encouraged if weather and operational circumstances permit: all flight phases may be flown without AP and
with or without FD (raw data).

CONVENTIONAL NAVAID SETTING POLICY

In all cases where conventional NAVAID is required as explained below, select frequency, course and BRG
needles on both PF and PM sides.

DEPARTURE
Required if ILS approach or conventional NAVAID approach is expected at departure airfield or return
alternate airfield. Set V/ILS1 & V/ILS2 frequencies and courses according to expected return approach.

ARRIVAL
Required in case of conventional NAVAID approach, go-around or extraction procedure requiring conventional
NAVAID. Set V/ILS1 & V/ILS2 frequencies and courses according to expected approach or extraction.

FOR TRAINING ONLY 79

 NORMAL PROCEDURES
GENERAL PROCEDURES JUNE 23
& POLICIES
42-500 72-500

CONVENTIONAL NAVAID NON-PRECISION APPROACH

The GNSS is recommended for used as a supplementary navigation means for all conventional NAVAID non-
precision approach operations, except LOC/LDA/SDF approaches. Use NAV (LNAV) mode and VS mode. It
is recommended to use VDEV information, but permanently cross-checked using conventional means.
It is necessary to monitor as follows:
• Crosscheck distances versus altitudes as published on the charts
• Monitor the lateral and vertical guidance using raw data
• Monitor XTK error on EHSI to check the lateral guidance
• MAP mode use is not permitted on PF side.

LOC/LDA/SDF APPROACH
GNSS guidance may not be used for this type of approach, use conventional NAVAID information associated
with NAV (LOC) mode and VS mode.

VISUAL APPROACH/CIRCLING APPROACH

The foregoing procedures apply for the instrument part of any planned visual maneuvering. Once visual
conditions are established, there is no requirement to monitor or communicate regarding navigation capacity.
However, in case of go-around during circling approach, the associated instrument missed approach must
be flown, and the above procedures again become applicable.

The flight crew must conduct the flight within the circling area, while maintaining required visual references
at all times.

29. NAVIGATION SOURCE POLICY

Each pilot selects his Navigation Source (RNAV or V/ILS) on EFCP.

It’s airline responsibility to determine it’s own policy concerning the navigation source to be use according to
the flight phase and/or the type of approach.

As per design: CM1 use RNV or V/L1 and CM2 use RNV or V/L2.

All flight phase are flown with NAV SOURCE set to RNV, except ILS & LOC approaches.

NOTE: NAV guidance (RNV or V/L) is always High Bank.

Make sure to be High Bank protected before selecting NAV.

F or departure without SID or with specific clearance (e.g. radar vectoring): the use of V/ILS source associated with HDG SEL
mode can be more suitable.

If the published go around procedure is not suitable or in case of different ATC clearance, use V/ILS source associated with
HDG SEL mode.
If RNAV is expected to be use during the go around phase following an ILS approach, the flight plan must have been synchronized
during the approach phase (Direct To FAF with inbound course).

31. APM MANAGEMENT

The APM is an onboard system for detecting ice effects on aircraft, developed to enhance the aircraft safety and
protection. It acquires the aircraft performance parameters in real time and compares them to the expected
values. The monitored performance parameters are the IAS and the drag. Any abnormal increase on one of those
parameters leads to an alarm to alert the flight crew. There are three different levels of alarms, depending on the
severity of the discrepancy found.

31.1. APM COCKPIT INTERFACE

The interface is composed of :
• a twelve position rotary selector
• 3 indicators placed in front of the captain and co-pilot to display the performance degradation
information
• a FAULT/OFF pushbutton to inform the crew of a problem with APM or to select the APM OFF
• a Push To Test button to test the APM indicators

31.2. NORMAL PROCEDURES

31.2.1. TAKE-OFF WEIGHT SELECTION

To determine the aircraft theoretical and “in flight” performance, the aircraft weight must be known.

The crew must enter the take-off weight value in the system with a twelve-position rotary selector.

84 FOR TRAINING ONLY

 NORMAL PROCEDURES
GENERAL PROCEDURES JUNE 23
& POLICIES
42-500 72-500

To take into account the new take-off weight value:

• the rotary selector must be moved (even if actual weight is the same as the previous flight) to the
minimum TO weight and then back to the nearest TO weight
• the selection must be done before the IAS reaches 30 kt
• the selection must be done with both engines running. Indeed, some micro cuts can occur on the DC
EMER BUS during the start phase.

IMPORTANT: If the selected weight is higher than the real one, spurious alerts may be triggered at speeds higher than
necessary. Inversely, if a lower weight is selected, alerts may be hidden, and more specifically, cases of severe icing may be
not detected.

NOTE: Any change of the rotary selector in flight will have no effect

If the crew does not select the take-off weight before take-off with the rotactor, the APM will perform its own
take-off weight computation. Computation is performed during the first minutes of the flight and before the
APM begins the drag analysis.

APM calculation is less accurate than the flight crew manual selection: analyses of several hundreds of
revenue flight have shown that the APM maximum deviation is around ±1500kg for take-off weight
computation.

31.2.2. APM TESTING

APM testing is activated by the crew daily, to check all APM components work properly.

• After flaps 15° extension, speed is maintained to White Bug +10. This speed is conservative for
High Bank with flaps 15°, in normal and icing conditions
• Before landing C/L must be initiated during descent with flaps 15° and completed when flaps 30°

56.1. INITIAL COCKPIT PREPARATION - STEP 1
In the following, no GPU is available. The start of Engine 2 in Hotel mode is done with the flight crew in the
cockpit then, the Initial Cockpit Preparation procedure (different short transit) is done by CM2 while CM1 is
performing the external inspection. When Hotel mode is running, at least one crew member must remain in
the cockpit.

The main approach is to extinguish all white lights, to test all systems and to prepare the cockpit for the flight.

Refuelling in Hotel mode is prohibited.

IMPORTANT: NAC OVHT and ENG FIRE can be triggered in Hotel mode, with a tail wind greater than 10kts.

57. POWER BACK AND PUSH-BACK OPERATIONS

57.1. POWER BACK
Refer to : FCOM PRO NOP ANOR3

57.2. PUSH-BACK WITH TUG (FCOM PRO NOP ANOR 3)

Push-back is done after ATC clearance. Ground staff remains connected with the aircraft by using conventional
signs and/or headphones.
Parking brake is released and steering OFF.
Each crew member keeps his feet on the floor. Never uses brakes during push-back (to avoid tail strike and/
or strain on towing system).

IMPORTANT: Wait for disconnection of the tow bar before switching the steering ON.

IMPORTANT: NAC OVHT and ENG FIRE can be triggered during push-back in Hotel mode, with a tail wind greater than 10kts.
Avoid orientating aircraft in the tailwind direction. If the tail wind is above this limit, the push-back has to be done with the
propeller(s) running and unfeathered.

The following phraseology is used:

58. NOISE ABATEMENT PROCEDURES

The noise abatements procedures contained in ICAO PANS-OPS (Vol 1 Part I section 7) have been designed
for application to turbojet aeroplanes only.

Even if not required for turbopropeller aeroplanes, ATR recommends the following procedures for noise
reduction on the ground.

–  Do not use full reverse while taxiing

–  Minimize the use of full reverse at landing

No particular noise abatement procedures are recommended in flight.

Local aerodrome procedures: Refer to published airport manuals (In Jeppesen charts, the Noise
Abatement page is usually in chapter 10-4).

63. UPSET PREVENTION & RECOVERY TRAINING

63.1. INTRODUCTION
ATR UPRT policy is fully aligned with the new revision 3 of the Airplane Upset Prevention and Recovery
Training Aid Revision 3 available on ICAO website.

As stated by ICAO in their introduction, this document “…is the result of close collaboration between ICAO,
Airbus, ATR, Boeing, Bombardier and Embraer. ICAO recognizes that this training aid is key in supporting its
safety priority for mitigating loss of control in flight risks”.

The AUPRTA Revision 3 is available on ICAO website with the following links:
• For computers: http://www.icao.int/safety/loci/AUPRTA/index.html
• For tablets and smartphones: http://www.icao.int/safety/loci/AUPRTATablet/index.html

The document now includes the input from ATR to reflect turbo-prop operations. The revised document also
emphasizes that an upset exists anytime an airplane is diverging from what the pilots are intending to do.
Hence the definition of airplane upset adopts the concept of “undesired airplane state” and the pilots
awareness of this regardless of specific pitch and/or bank angle parameters or airspeed.

The manufacturers in this revision focus their training recommendations on recognition and prevention within
the operational flight envelope. The recommended training sequences within the AUPRTA Revision 3
document are grouped by upset-inducing topics, with each topic consisting of the exercise conditions,
training objectives, description and rationale.

We also refer our customers to the ATR Flight Safety Conference Presentation, “Watch Your Speed in Cruise”
available on ATR Active and to the UPRT trainer available on Apple store:

ATR encourage operators to utilize and incorporate this AUPRTA Revision 3 and ATR Safety Conference
presentation in their UPRT training.

63.2. DEFINITION OF AIRPLANE UPSET

An airplane upset is an undesired airplane state characterized by unintentional divergences from parameters
normally experienced during operations.

An airplane upset may involve pitch and/or bank angle divergences as well as inappropriate airspeeds for the
conditions.

Deviations from the desired airplane state will become larger until action is taken to stop the divergence.

Return to the desired airplane state can be achieved through natural airplane reaction to accelerations, auto-
flight system response or pilot intervention.

63.3. MONITORING
ATR and the other aircraft manufacturers believe that flight crew engagement combats complacency through
active monitoring. Therefore, active monitoring is the critical element to ensure awareness and avoidance of
undesired airplane states and provides the strongest countermeasure against startle.

An engaged crew is in the best position to cope with undesired airplane states.

In the context of undesired airplane states, active monitoring means keeping track of the environment, the
airplane’s energy state and flight path trajectory. This creates expectations about future airplane state to
detect deviations in order to take timely corrective actions.

Effective monitoring of the environment, the airplane energy state and flight path depends very heavily on an
accurate and comprehensive understanding of the current airplane’s energy state and flight path trajectory
based on the relevant indications of its status. This understanding, or mental model, can then be used to
create expectations about future state and deviations from the expected state. These expectations then
serve as a baseline for monitoring.

Active monitoring is the responsibility of all crew members to ensure the airplane state is understood and
correct for the situation.

Each pilot should:

• Know and understand the expected airplane state for the situation
• Communicate expectations
• Keep track of current airplane state
• Detect and communicate deviations from expectations
• Assess risk and decide on a response
• Update and communicate understanding
• Take timely corrective actions

63.3.1. ENERGY STATES / AIRCRAFT PERFORMANCE

A pilot has three sources of energy available to manage or manipulate the flight path of an airplane.
The term «energy state» describes how much of each kind of energy the airplane has available at any given
time.
Pilots who understand the airplane energy state will be in a position to know instantly what options they may
have to maneuver their airplane and therefore manage the trajectory.
The three sources of energy are:
a. Kinetic energy, which increases with increasing airspeed.
b. Potential energy, which is proportional to altitude.
c. Chemical energy, from the fuel in the tanks which can be converted to thrust.

FOR TRAINING ONLY 159

 ABNORMAL & EMERGENCY PROCEDURES
JUNE 23
ABNORMAL SITUATIONS
42-500 72-500

These three types of energy can be traded, or exchanged:

• Airspeed can be traded for altitude (kinetic to potential energy)
• Altitude can be traded for airspeed (potential to kinetic energy)
• Thrust can be converted into airspeed and/or altitude (chemical to either kinetic or potential energy)

Kinetic energy needs to be replenished (from potential or chemical energy), as it is continuously expended in
the process of generating the aerodynamic forces acting on the airplane which result in controlled flight (lift
and drag).
This process of consciously controlling the energy state of the airplane is referred to as «energy management».
The trading of energy must be accomplished with a view toward the final required energy state.

The objective of energy management is to keep the desired kinetic, potential and chemical energy within
operating limits.

This objective is especially important during an inadvertent upset and the ensuing recovery.

The process of controlling forces to produce a new energy state takes time. Airplanes of larger mass generally
take longer to change orientation than airplanes of smaller mass. The longer time requires the pilot to plan
ahead more in a large-mass airplane to make sure that the actions taken will achieve the final desired energy
state.

The amount of time required is a function of the mass of the airplane and the magnitude of the applied forces.
It is also a function of the aircraft actual performance versus the expected performance, for example when
encountering icing conditions, an unusual power required and/or unusual acceleration rate or vertical speed
can be an indicator of ice accretion effect. In that intent, it is crucial that pilots are aware of and expect their
aircraft performance and presets during climb (vertical speed) and level off (target speed, acceleration rate)
in order to perform the most effective monitoring and ensure a timely recovery.

62.3.2. MONITORING OF AIRCRAFT PERFORMANCE IN ICING CONDITIONS

For more information refer to FCOM.

In-service events have evidenced that many upset situations where associated with a lack of flight crew
active monitoring linked to aircraft performance degradation.

These situations mainly occurred during operations in icing conditions where the aircraft had been flown at
or below minimum icing speeds without recovery actions until the aircraft stalled or became unstable in roll.

 ABNORMAL & EMERGENCY PROCEDURES

ABNORMAL SITUATIONS
42-500 72-500

ATR believes that active monitoring and aircraft performance expectations, in terms of climb performance
and cruise parameters, are key to prevent any undesired airplane state and to detect and to recover early
enough any aircraft performance degradation.

The effects of ice accretion on the airplane first consist in a drag increase.
It can generate either a loss of climb rate in climb or a loss of airspeed in cruise. Therefore the monitoring of
the rate of climb (in climb) or of the airspeed (in cruise) should be tight to allow detection of icing conditions
that may not be obvious from a visual standpoint (such as clear ice accretion for instance).

The rate of ice accretion depends on a lot of parameters and induced drag increase can be very slow and
progressive or on the contrary fast and massive. The lower is the airspeed, the quicker and the more
important can be such performance decrease. This underlines the importance of an early identification of
loss of performance of the airplane especially when margin to VmLB0icing is limited.

CLIMB

In climb, the AP/FD must be used in IAS mode that maintains the aircraft speed by adjusting the pitch , which
impacts the rate of climb. Any other vertical mode (pitch hold, V/S) is prohibited.

ATR recommends anticipating the entry into icing conditions: if the airplane is not in icing conditions yet but
approaches icing conditions (for instance, a cloud layer above and/or TAT progressively decreasing), the
target climb speed should be increased and the anti-icing systems engaged before actually entering icing
conditions.

The flight crew should monitor the rate of climb to identify any possible loss of performance. At any time
above Minimum Safe Altitude (MSA), a decrease in performance can lead the flight crew to choose a cruise
level below the initial target. For information, in terms of energy exchange, a climb rate of 100ft/min is
equivalent to a speed increase of 10 Kts. For example, if climbing at 400 Ft/min the aircraft will accelerate by
40 Kts when levelling off.

Given the factors that influence the rate of climb (weight, temperature, turbulence, etc.), it may not be easy
for the flight crew to detect a climb performance lower than normal. However the operational ceilings are
defined when the rate of climb reaches a threshold of:
- 300 Ft/min in normal condition
- 100 Ft/min in icing condition
Since they are computed with a lower residual rate of climb in icing conditions, the operational ceiling values
may be higher than in normal conditions. In such case, the operational ceiling is the lowest of the two.

Therefore if the climb rate decreases under 300 ft/min, it means that the aircraft is reaching its operational
ceiling and a level off should be considered. At the latest when climb rate reached 100 ft/min or less, a level
off will certainly not be enough to regain airspeed and the severe icing procedure has to be applied.

CRUISE

Depending on the altitude and temperature, this power level should bring the aircraft to a specific IAS (in
FCOM PERFO 3.05.03).

This target airspeed should be known by the flight crew and bugged so that a deviation from this value could
be easily identified.

Any ice accretion will generate an increase in drag and a decrease in airspeed. Whatever the severity of ice
accretion, there will still be a loss due to ice on unprotected areas (e.g. radome, wipers, spinners, ...). In most
situations, the use of anti and de-icing systems will be enough to limit the loss of performance and it may
even be almost transparent.

As soon as a loss of airspeed is identified, the flight crew should monitor that it stabilizes. If the airspeed
keeps decreasing, the flight crew should take all necessary actions to maintain airspeed above
VmLB0icing+10 kt.

 ABNORMAL & EMERGENCY PROCEDURES
JUNE 23
ABNORMAL SITUATIONS
42-500 72-500

Of course, the time available to the flight crew between the moment they identify the loss of airspeed and the
moment they need to take an action depends on the margin that is available above the minimum speed and
the rate of ice accretion. That is the reason why it is recommended, if icing conditions are likely on the
planned route, to choose a flight level that provides a cruise speed at least 40 kt above the minimum icing
speed.

To regain or maintain airspeed, a first action can be to increase the rotation speed of the propellers (CL set
to 100%) that helps de-icing the blades. If this is not enough and the IAS continues to decrease, the flight
crew should prepare a descent strategy (MSA, escape route,...).

Example: For an ATR 72 with a takeoff weight of 22T, VmLB (FLAPS 0) icing (ICING BUG) is 165 kt. In ISA
+5 °C and if icing conditions are expected, to maintain at least a margin of 40 kt between VmLB (FLAPS 0)
icing (ICING BUG) and the cruise speed target, the maximum cruise level would be FL180 where cruise
speed target is 205 kt.

In any case if the airspeed cannot be maintained above VmLB0icing+10 kt, the flight crew shall immediately
apply the severe icing procedure and initiate a descent.

63.4. CAUSES OF AIRPLANE UPSETS

An airplane upset is not a common occurrence. There are a variety of reasons why upsets occur, including:
• Pilot-induced
• Mis-use of airplane automation
• Environmentally-induced
• Systems-induced.

63.4.1. PILOT-INDUCED AIRPLANE UPSETS

INSTRUMENT CROSS-CHECK

Pilots must cross-check and interpret the instruments. When a divergent indication exists from what was
intended, it must be communicated to the other pilot and corrected with proper pitch, bank and power
adjustments.

Misinterpretation of the instruments and/or lack of “active monitoring” by the pilots can lead to an airplane
upset.

An important factor influencing cross-check technique is the ability of the pilot: all pilots do not interpret
instrument presentations with the same speed; some are faster than others in understanding and evaluating
what they see. One reason for this is that the natural ability of pilots varies. Another reason is that the
experience levels are different. Most of the time, the level of crew “active monitoring” is a prime factor. Proper
instrument crosscheck must be adequately trained and practiced.

Because situations may change rapidly during high work-load periods, it is crucial for both pilots to monitor
the flight path and instruments.

In a low workload environment, one pilot can usually monitor the airplane as there is normally little change.

Since it is difficult to stay focused on monitoring during low workload periods, it may be beneficial for pilots
to alternate this responsibility.

The important thing to remember is that at least one pilot must monitor the airplane at all times.

Effective active monitoring allows the crew to intervene before an upset can occur.

ABNORMAL SITUATIONS

ADJUSTING ATTITUDE AND POWER

A satisfactory instrument cross-check is only part of the task because it is necessary for the pilot to ensure
the correct adjustments to pitch, bank and power are made in order to control the airplane.

Airplane upsets have occurred when the pilot has made incorrect adjustments.

This can happen when the pilot is not familiar with the airplane response to power adjustments or control
inputs. Pilots are very well experienced in the low altitude environment, but usually only observe the autoflight
systems handle the airplane at high altitude. For this reason, they tend to make larger than necessary control
inputs (inputs which would be appropriate at low altitude will most likely be too large at higher altitudes).

Control inputs are usually based upon understanding what the outcome should be.

If the pilot’s control inputs are reactionary, unplanned or excessive, the airplane reaction may be a complete
surprise.

A continued divergence from what is expected due to excessive control inputs can lead to an upset.

There have also been instances when two pilots have applied opposing inputs simultaneously leading to an
upset or a failure to recover from an upset.

INATTENTION AND COMPLACENCY

A review of airplane upsets shows that inattention or neglect of “actively monitoring” can result in upsets.

Many events can be traced to inadequate instrument cross-check; for example, neglecting to monitor all the
instruments or fixating on certain instrument indications and not detecting changes in others.

Although flight path control responsibility is shared while under ATC radar vectoring, situational awareness
and vigilance cannot be relaxed and/or delegated to ATC.

DISTRACTION FROM PRIMARY COCKPIT DUTIES

Distractions can be external or self-induced.

“Control the airplane first” has always been a guiding principle in flying.

Cockpit discipline is the principle that must be respected to ensure that at least one pilot is actively monitoring.
It is impossible to intervene to stop a divergence if the crew is not actively monitoring the airplane.

A pilot who is aware of the energy and flight path is less likely to be startled and therefore more likely to deal
with the situation with controlled inputs versus reactive responses.

63.4.2. MISUSE OF AIRPLANE AUTOMATION

Technology in modern airplanes includes flight directors, autopilots, auto-throttles and flight management
systems.

Systems will react to what the pilot commands even if it is not what the flight crew intended. Failure to confirm
and monitor intended modes of operation may lead to an airplane upset.

Reliability of modern technologies can lead to overconfidence and eventual complacency.

PILOT-INDUCED OSCILLATIONS (PIO) / AIRPLANE-PILOT COUPLING (APC)

All airplane are developed and certified to ensure control is easy and well-behaved throughout the operational
flight envelope.

Testing to ensure these good handling characteristics assumes that pilots are utilizing typical piloting
techniques.

In some circumstances, pilot control inputs can cause unwanted secondary airplane motion that could lead
or contribute to an upset or loss of control.

This condition occurs when a pilot’s commands become out of phase with the airplane’s motion.

There could be a number of technical or human factor causes for this condition, including over-speed, some
out-of-trim conditions or some flight control system failures.

To the pilot, all of the causes result in the airplane not responding as quickly, or as aggressively, as the pilot
desires.

This leads to pilot inputs that grow increasingly out of phase with the airplane response.

During an upset recovery a PIO/APC can also be initiated when the pilot reacts with large rapid inputs before
determining what is happening.

The net effect is that pilot inputs may produce unexpected airplane motion with accompanied pitch or roll
oscillations.

Sometimes, the PF may be so involved in regaining control, s/he may not be aware of this oscillatory motion.

In this case, the pilot monitoring may need to verbalize the PIO/APC condition or be prepared to take control.

63.4.3. ENVIRONMENTALLY-INDUCED

WAKE TURBULENCE
DESCRIPTION

Wake turbulence is the leading cause of aircraft upsets.

Vortex Generation
The phenomenon that creates wake turbulence results from the forces that lift airplanes. High-pressure air
from the lower surface of the wings flows around the wingtips to the lower pressure region above the wings.
A pair of counter rotating vortices is thus shed from the wings: the right wing vortex rotates counterclockwise,
and the left wing vortex rotates clockwise. The region of rotating air behind the airplane is where wake
turbulence occurs.

Vortex Strength
The strength of the turbulence is determined predominantly by the weight, wingspan, and speed of the
airplane. The greatest vortex strength occurs when the generating aircraft is heavy-clean-slow.

Generally, vortices descend at an initial rate of about 300 to 500 ft/min for about 30 sec. The descent rate
decreases and eventually approaches zero between 500 and 900 ft below the flight path. Flying at or above
the flight path provides the best method for avoidance. Maintaining a vertical separation of at least 1000-ft
when crossing below the preceding aircraft may be considered safe.

Induced Roll
An encounter with wake turbulence usually results in induced rolling or pitch moments; however, in rare
instances an encounter could cause structural damage to the airplane. In more than one instance, pilots
have described an encounter to be like “hitting a wall.” The dynamic forces of the vortex can exceed the roll
or pitch capability of the airplane to overcome these forces. During test programs, the wake was approached
from all directions to evaluate the effect of encounter direction on response. One item was common to all
encounters: without a concerted effort by the pilot to check the wake, the airplane would be expelled from
the wake and an airplane upset could occur.

63.4.4. WINDSHEAR

NOTE: ATR operational documentation reference is FCOM PRO NOP ANOR 8.4.

DESCRIPTION

Windshear is a notable change in wind direction and/or speed over a short distance.

NOTE: The air moves downwards until it hits ground level and then spreads outward in all directions.

Windshear can be encountered in the vicinity of thunderstorms, into rain showers (even without thunderstorms),
during a frontal passage or on airports situated near large areas of water (sea breeze fronts).

Severe windshear encountered above 1000 feet, whilst unpleasant, can generally be negotiated safely.
However if it is encountered below 500 feet on take off or approach/landing it is potentially dangerous. If a
slow moving airplane passes through windshear, the winds can cause it to lose control and plunge toward
the ground.

Here is an example of the windshear effects during approach:

On ground
• Unusual lack of speed acceleration during rolling phase
• Unusual time to reach V1/VR

In flight
Unacceptable flight path deviations recognized as uncontrolled changes from normal steady state flight
conditions below 1,000 feet AGL:
• Indicated airspeed variations in excess of 15 kts;
• Groundspeed variations (decreasing head wind or increasing tail wind, or a shift from head wind to tail
wind);
• Vertical-speed excursions of 500 ft/mn or more;
• Pitch attitude excursions of 5° or more;
• Glide slope deviation of one dot or more;
• Heading variations of 10° or more; and,
• Unusual Power Lever activity or unusual Power Lever position for a significant period of time;
• Or a combination of all these effects.

DEFENCE
Effective defence against windshear is performed by:
• Forecasting, recognizing and avoiding windshear,
• Correctly reacting to windshear encountered during the takeoff, initial climb, approach and landing.

PROCEDURES

Take-off procedure
If a windshear is forecasted or reported, delay the take off.

If a risk of a low-level windshear is expected:

• Calculate V1, VR, V2 for the maximum limiting take-off weight for the day.
• Closely monitor the airspeed and airspeed trend during the take-off roll to detect any evidence of impending
windshear.

If a windshear is experienced before V1, the take-off must be rejected if unacceptable airspeed variations occur
(not exceeding the target V1) and if there is sufficient runway remaining to stop the aircraft.

63.5. APPROACH TO STALL AND STALL RECOVERY

NOTE: ATR operational documentation references is FCOM PRO NOP ANOR 1.4.

63.5.1. DESCRIPTION
Stall occurs when the wing’s critical angle of attack is exceeded and lift is reduced substantially due to the
airflow separation over the upper surface of the wing.

The secondary stall is a premature increase in angle of attack that results in another stall event during stall
recovery, prior to establishing stable flight conditions.

When approaching the stall, there is no noticeable change in the ATR behavior; that is the reason why the
aircraft is equipped with two “artificial” devices -stick shaker and stick pusher- based on the angle of attack
measurement to detect the approach to stall.

63.5.2. DETECTION
Natural or artificial clues may be detected as a consequence of an approaching or imminent stall:
• reduced roll stability and aileron effectiveness
• inability to maintain altitude or rate of descent
• buffeting
• stick shaker that warns the pilot on approaching the stall
• stick pusher if angle of attack continues increasing despite stick shaker alerts
• low airspeed visual or aural indications
• reduced elevator (pitch) authority

To avoid secondary stall.
(5)
Fly the aircraft first and then when it is under control, fly the trajectory.

NOTE: Use rudder with care during stall recovery as it can worsen the situation.

If angle of attack continues increasing up to the stick pusher angle of attack threshold, the control column is
suddenly and abruptly pushed forward. This initiates the stall recovery.

Apply the stall procedure previously described.

Never counteract the stick pusher action.

PROCEDURE AT LIFT-OFF

Incursion in stick shaker range during lift-off can be generated by:

• Excessive pitch up during rotation
• Excessive rate of pitch rotation
• Turbulences
• Windshear situation

In this case, maintain 10° pitch and when out of the stall warning, follow FD bars.

If stall is experienced, it must be reported to Air Traffic Control immediately and an air safety report must be
completed after the flight.

Bouncing at landing usually is the result of high energy approach. In-service experience shows that most of
the events involving bounces at landing resulted from the following factors:
• Excessive airspeed during approach
• Engine power on touchdown
• Late flare initiation
• Incorrect flare technique
Some environmental factors could also contribute to experience bounce at landing, such as:
• Windshear
• Thermal activity

64.2. HOW TO PREVENT

Available material supporting the prevention of bounce landing
ATR has developed materials to support operators in preventing bounce at landing occurrences. This material
is intended to be used during pilot training, to raise their awareness regarding the factors which contribute to
this type of event. It enables pilots to identify these factors and to take appropriate actions to correct the
situation at an early stage, before it results in bounces at landing.
• “ Watch your speed in approach” material, presented during 2016 Flight Safety Conference, is available on
ATRactive
• The landing trainer application is available on itunes for Apple platforms.

Approach Speed
 APP = VmHB + WIND FACTOR
The approach speed is defined as V
or VMCL, whichever is higher
Where WIND FACTOR is the highest of:
− 1/3 of the head wind velocity,
− Or the gust in full.
WIND FACTOR is limited to a maximum of 15 kt.
VAPP provides appropriate margins to avoid approaching stall during the approach and flare, and to
accommodate turbulences and wind gradient that would be encountered during the approach and landing.

Stabilized Approach
The most efficient prevention is to ensure the approach is stabilized with a focus on the airspeed and the rate
of descent.
Stabilization means:
• Aircraft configured for landing
• All briefing and checklists done
• Lateral flight path management
• Energy management
- Pitch
- Power
- Speed
- Vertical flight path
In case of un-stabilized approach, at any point during the approach, a go-around shall be performed.
For indication, when the aircraft is stabilized in approach at VAPP on a 3° descent path, the pitch attitude
should be in the range -2.5° to +1°. A pitch attitude lower than -2.5° during the approach may indicate an
excess of aircraft energy.

Correct landing technique

Power reduction shall be initiated passing 20 ft. The touchdown shall occur with power levers at Flight Idle.
In coordination with power reduction, the pilot flying progressively adjusts aircraft pitch to flare the aircraft.
Airspeed reduction during flare is normal. Touchdown should occur at an airspeed below VAPP .
For indication, a pitch attitude below -1.5° at touchdown would result in contact with the runway on the nose
landing gear first and would lead to a bounce.

64.3. BOUNCE RECOVERY - REJECTED LANDING

In case of significant bounce at touchdown, the following rejected landing technique must be applied:
− Maintain a normal landing pitch attitude
− Initiate a rejected landing by advancing power levers to the ramp
− Maintain the landing gear and flaps configuration
− Be ready for a possible second touchdown
• Should a second touchdown happen, as landing pitch attitude is maintained and power is increased, it
would be soft enough to prevent damage to the aircraft.
− When steady positive climb is established, follow normal go-around procedures.

Note: When a rejected landing is initiated, the flight crew must be committed to proceed with the intended maneuver.

64.4. COMMITMENT FOR GO-AROUND

If a rejected landing is initiated, the flight crew must be committed to proceed with the intended maneuver
and not retard the power levers in an ultimate decision to complete the landing.
Reversing a go-around decision usually is observed when the decision to reject the landing and to initiate a
go-around is taken by the PF but is overridden by the other crewmember.
Runway overruns, impact with obstructions and major aircraft damage (or post impact fire) often are the
consequences of reversing an already initiated rejected landing.

65. CREW MEMBER INCAPACITATION

65.1. DESCRIPTION
Crew member incapacitation is defined as any condition which affects the health of a crew member during
the flight phase and which decreases his skill for the assigned tasks.

Incapacitation is a real air safety hazard, which occurs more frequently than many of the other emergencies,
which is the subject of routine training. Incapacitation can occur in many forms varying from obvious sudden
death to subtle, partial loss of function. It occurs in all age groups and during all phases of flight and may not
be preceded by any warning.

65.2. DETECTION
The critical operational problem is early recognition of the incapacitation. The keys for immediate recognition
of incapacitation are:

• Routine monitoring and cross-checking of flight instruments, particularly during critical phases of flight,
such as take-off, climb out, descent, approach, landing and go-around.

• If a crew member does not respond appropriately to two verbal communications, or if a crew member does
not respond to a verbal communication associated with a significant deviation from a standard flight profile.

Other symptoms of the beginning of an active incapacitation are:

• incoherent speech
• strange behaviour
• irregular breathing
• pale fixed facial expression
• jerky motions that are either delayed or too rapid

NOTE: If a crew member feels sick, he must inform the other crew member and transfer the flying task.

65.3. PROCEDURE
The recovery from any detected incapacitation of a crew member shall follow the following sequence.

FLIGHT
The remaining pilot must ensure the control and resume the aircraft to a safe flight path. He has to call “MY
CONTROL” and use Autopilot and headset.

INCAPACITATION
The remaining pilot must ensure that the incapacitated pilot cannot interfere with the aircraft control. He must
call a cabin crew to lock the sick pilot on his flight crew seat. If the cockpit door is locked, the assisting cabin
crew will apply the relevant procedure to unlock the system, and provide first aid.

ORGANIZATION AND COMMUNICATION

REMAINING PILOT

• AP ON
• Coupling on remaining pilot
• Resume to a safe flight path
• Headset ON
• Flight attendant call
• Message “MAYDAY” to ATC
• Situation assessment
• Decision
• Report decision to ATC

The remaining pilot must land as soon as possible on an suitable airport, taking into account incapacitated
pilot state of health, airport equipments (prefer airport with ILS approach), weather and runway conditions,
knowledge of airport by the remaining pilot (...), and request medical assistance:

‘‘MAYDAY, MAYDAY, MAYDAY, (CALL SIGN) EXPERIENCING CREW INCAPACITATION, REQUEST MEDICAL

The remaining pilot must:

• perform PF and PM tasks
• verify and calls loudly all actions
• perform all checklists loudly

66. RUDDER USE

66.1. GENERAL
On February 8th, 2002, the National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB), in cooperation with the French
“Bureau Enquêtes Analyse” (BEA), issued recommendations for aircraft manufacturers to re-emphasize the
structural certification requirements of the rudder and vertical stabilizer, showing some maneuvers which can
result in exceeding design limits and even lead to structural failures.

In this perspective, AFM and FCOM LIM.3 now states:

Rapid and large alternating controls inputs, especially in combination with large changes in pitch, roll or yaw
(e.g. large sideslip angles) may result in structural damage at any speed, including below maneuvering
speed VA.

66.2. RUDDER GOOD PRACTICES

The rudder may be used:

• In normal operations, for directional control:

— During the take-off roll, when on ground, especially in crosswind conditions.
— During the landing flare with crosswind, for decrab maneuver.

NOTE: Correction in upwind direction requires less effort than in downwind direction. An equal effort will have a stronger
effect upwind. Just releasing the downwind input without applying a force in upwind direction will lead to a rudder deflection
in upwind side, allowing heading corrections only through downwind pedal movements.

— During the landing roll, when on the ground.

— The rudder may be used for turn coordination, as deemed necessary, to prevent excessive sideslip.

• In some other abnormal situations:

— Full rudder deflection can be used to offset the yawing moment of an asymmetric thrust.
— Runaway rudder trims: the rudder pedals may be used to move the rudder to the neutral position.
— Aileron jam: the rudder may be used to smoothly control the roll.
— Landing with unsafe indication: the rudder may be used to establish sideslip in an attempt to lock
the landing gear down by aerodynamic side forces.
— Landing gear not locked down: the rudder can be used for directional control on the ground.

For the above mentioned maneuvers proper rudder usage will not affect the aircraft structural integrity.

The rudder must not be used:

• To induce roll, except for aileron jam.
• To counteract turbulence.
• During stall recovery as it can worsen the situation.

67. MANAGING TAWS

On the ATR 500, the Terrain Awareness Warning System (TAWS) is called the Enhanced Ground Proximity
Warning System (EGPWS).

A pilot must never fly in a situation which may put his aircraft in jeopardy. An immediate reaction against
activation of terrain avoidance alarm is vital regarding flight safety. Air disaster analysis shows that crew
involved did not trust the terrain avoidance warnings and as a consequence did not take the proper action.

NOTE: Only when flying in daylight VMC, a warning may be ignored if due to specific terrain configuration and in sight of
obstacles. The warning can be considered as a caution and the approach can be continued.

IMPORTANT: At night, in IMC or in daylight VMC if obstacles location is unknown, an immediate go-around must be initiated.

To have the details of the existing TAWS alerts and the associated procedures, refer to ATR operational
documentation: FCOM PRO NOP NSU - NAVIGATION: GPWS.

REPORTING PROCEDURE
If a TAWS warning is experienced, it must be reported to Air Traffic Control immediately and an air safety
report must be completed after the flight.

68. MANAGING TCAS WARNINGS

NOTE: ATR operational documentation references is FCOM PRO NOP NSU - NAVIGATION : TCAS.

Traffic alert and Collision Avoidance System is used for detecting and tracking aircraft in the vicinity of your
aircraft. By interrogating their transponders, it analyzes the replies to determine range, bearing, and if
reporting altitude, the relative altitude of the intruder. When the TCAS processor determines that a possible
collision hazard exists, it issues visual and aural advisories to the crew for appropriate vertical avoidance
maneuvers.

There are two types of cockpit displays:

• Traffic Advisory (TA)
• Resolution Advisory (RA)

NOTE: TCAS is unable to detect any intruding aircraft without an operating transponder or in case of transponder failure.
In case of TCAS resolution, ATC is not responsible for aircraft separation until resuming the initial clearance.

68.1. TRAFFIC ADVISORY

68.1.1. DESCRIPTION
Traffic Advisory informs the pilot of any surrounding traffic. The TA display shows the intruding aircraft’s
relative position and altitude with the trend arrow indicating if it is climbing or descending at a rate greater
than 500 ft/mn. The TA display identifies the relative threat of each intruder by using various symbols and
colors and provides appropriate synthetic voice call-outs.

Non-threat traffic advisory

Information about any non-threatening traffic in the vicinity.

Proximity intruder traffic advisory

Information about any traffic in the proximity.

‘‘TRAFFIC TRAFFIC”

Information about intruding aircraft considered potentially hazardous.

NOTE: Traffic advisory may become a RA within 15 seconds.

If the intruder is Non-Altitude Reporting the traffic symbol appears without an altitude number or trend arrow. The type of
symbol selected by TCAS is based on the intruder location and closing rate.

IMPORTANT: The crew must not try to establish the visual contact with the intruder. The crew must be available for a potential

68.2. RESOLUTION ADVISORY

68.2.1. DESCRIPTION

Resolution Advisory warns the pilot on the vertical maneuver to carry on to avoid collision with the
surrounding traffic. Red and green areas are displayed on the VSI to indicate the required rate, or limitation
of climb or descent to avoid a possible collision.

Resolution Advisories can be preventive or corrective:

• Preventive advisories require that NO action be taken to alter the flight path of the aircraft. Vertical Speed
has to remain outside the red sector.
• Corrective advisories require the crew to act following the green sector indication on the VSI and escaping
the red sector (when Vertical Speed is currently in the red sector).

Combined with the Resolution Advisory, the TCAS triggers an aural synthetic voice call-out describing the
avoidance maneuver required.

IMPORTANT: Resolution Advisories commands are based on aircraft performance assumed within a flight envelope defined
during the TCAS certification. When the current conditions are outside the flight envelope, the RA commands may not be
appropriate. In any case, stall warning must take precedence above before RAs commands.

68.2.2. PROCEDURE
In response to the Resolution Advisory, PF must maneuver the aircraft promptly (within 5 seconds) and
smoothly. The autopilot must be disconnected before responding to the RA.

If initially in level flight, promptly but smoothly return to the previously assigned altitude unless otherwise directed by ATC.
If previously climbing or descending resume the planned climb or descent unless otherwise directed by ATC.

IMPORTANT:

Do not follow the Flight Director and do not change the altitude selected on AFCS. Control the aircraft only
with a pitch attitude to obtain the commanded vertical speed.

Average pitch attitudes are:

• ±5° for climb or descent orders
• ±8° for increase climb or increase descent orders
• ±1° for adjust vertical speed orders (following climb or descent initial orders)
• for all other cases follow green sector indication

Do not over react to a Resolution Advisory.

Two TCAS equipped aircraft will coordinate their Resolution Advisories using a Mode S transponder air-to-air
data link. The coordination ensures that complementary advisories are issued in each aircraft. Since
maneuvers are coordinated, the crew must never maneuver in the opposite direction of the advisory. TCAS
resolution has absolute priority over ATC orders.

68.3. REPORTING PROCEDURE

If a TCAS warning is experienced, it must be reported to Air Traffic Control immediately and an air safety
report must be completed after the flight.

69. MANAGING APM ADVISORIES

The Aircraft Performance Monitoring (APM) function is to monitor the aircraft drag in icing conditions in order
to alert the crew of a risk of severe icing conditions. The speed in cruise will be also monitored to alert the
crew of an abnormal speed decrease in icing conditions. The APM will check also that the Minimum Severe
Icing Speed (MSIS) is respected.

The APM allows improved ice accretion monitoring. Icing drastically decreases the aircraft performance: an
abnormal increase in drag can be due to ice accretion on the aerodynamical surfaces of the aircraft.
Monitoring the aircraft performance is thus an efficient means of ice detection.

The APM enables to compare the aircraft theoretical drag with the in-flight drag computed with the measured
parameters, and therefore to detect if an abnormal loss of aircraft performance occurs.

The APM is activated in icing conditions, i.e. when ICING AOA is illuminated, or if the airframe deicing is
activated, or if ice accretion has been detected, and aims at alerting the crew of a risk of severe icing
conditions, through three different levels of alert:
• CRUISE SPEED LOW
• DEGRADED PERF.
• INCREASE SPEED

The associated C/L are found in the QRH, under normal procedures and following failures procedures.

The APM analysis is conducted if the aircraft is in icing conditions, that is to say if the ICING AOA is illuminated
and/ or if the airframe de-icing is selected ON and/ or if ice accretion has been detected.

The APM is deactivated when gears and flaps are extended, if one engine is failed, or if the Outside Air
Temperature is above 10°C.

To have more details on the alerts activation conditions, refer to the operational documentation: FCOM PRO
NOP ANOR 8.

DEFINITION
- Prior to each flight, flight crew should ensure that the actual aircraft weight and center of gravity location
comply with limitations described below.

- The goal of the C.G. envelopes is to make sure that the center of gravity stays within the limitations for the
whole duration of the flight.

- These limitations ensure that the aircraft maneuverability

and stability are respected during the entire flight.

- There are two type of envelopes: certified envelope

and operational envelope.

- Operator is responsible for defining and using proper

operational envelope applicable to one aircraft
and one flight type.

ALLOWED / PROHIBITED CG LOCATIONS

- CG has to be within ops envelope during all flight phases. It allows an operational margin for in flight events
such as passenger movement.

- Certified CG envelope must not be used for operational purpose, notably at flight planning stage.

CONCLUSION
For better knowledge and understanding of the weight an balance limitations, please refer to the
