9.6LVTO[Operator’s name] does not hold an LVTO approval. A take-off below 400 meters shall not be conducted. 9.7ETOPSETOPS operation is not applicable to [Operator’s name] being an NCC operator. 9.8Use of Minimum Equipment List(s)(NCC.IDE.A) The Minimum Equipment List (MEL) lists all the equipment, systems and components that must be serviceable before flight. Items that may be unserviceable which will not jeopardize the continuation of the flight, together with any additional limitations that may apply to flights with such inoperative items, are indicated in the MEL. The MEL is intended to permit operation with inoperative equipment or components for a specified time until maintenance can rectify the unserviceable items. The MEL provides the PIC with the authority to operate the airplane with specified unserviceable equipment or components, but it must be emphasised that irrespective of the provisions of the MEL, the PIC is not obligated to operate with a particular defect or defects if in his/her opinion these defects could adversely affect the safety of the flight. The MEL forms part of the Operations Manual Part B, Chapter “Minimum Equipment List” for each airplane type concerned, but is published as a separate document to make it easier to use. Each MEL is based on a Master Minimum Equipment List (MMEL), developed by the Type Certificate Holder and approved by the Certification Authority. The corresponding MMEL, on which the MEL is based, must be acceptable to- and each separate MEL must be approved by the competent authority prior to use and will not deviate from the Aircraft Flight Manual (AFM) limitations or emergency procedures or from any applicable airworthiness directive and will be no less restrictive than the MMEL. The provisions of the MEL are applicable up until the airplane first moves under its own power, after which it is up to the PIC’s judgment whether a flight should continue when the defect becomes apparent after a flight has commenced. All items not listed on the MEL that are related to the airworthiness of the airplane must be operational before departure. Equipment not required for the safe operation of the airplane such as galley equipment or passenger convenience items are not listed on the MEL and are not required to be functional. 9.8.1Updates of the MELThe Manufacturer keeps the Master Minimum Equipment list up to date. The operator monitors the updates of the MMEL and if required amends his MEL with the relevant updated parts of the MEL within 90 days. After that a copy of the MEL is resend to the Competent authority. 9.9Other types of flightsAs [Operator’s name] is a non-commercial operator and does not hold an AOC, this chapter covers flights that are not conducted to serve the main purpose of the operation, which is to enable the transportation of company personnel either by passenger carrying flights or by positioning flights. 9.9.1Training FlightsThe PIC of a training flight must be qualified and licensed as flight instructor (TRI) on the aircraft concerned. The weather minima (ceiling and visibility) specified for the respective type of aircraft, approach and aerodrome are applicable. During training flights only flight crew members involved in the training and/or representatives of the Authority may be carried on board. 9.9.2LPC/OPC proficiency checksThe PIC of a training flight must be qualified and licensed as an Examiner (TRE) and flight instructor (TRI) on the aircraft concerned. The weather minima (ceiling and visibility) specified for the respective type of aircraft, approach and aerodrome are applicable. Simulated emergency procedures shall be carried out in such a way to ensure there is no danger to the aeroplane or crew. During training and proficiency check flights only flight crew members involved in the training and/or representatives of the Authority may be carried on board. 9.9.3Maintenance test flightsMaintenance test flights are performed when inflight testing/checking of the aircraft and/or its systems is required. A test flight must be performed after special maintenance and/or repair work on an aircraft and on special request of the Authority. Those flights shall be performed by the minimum flight crew according to the AFM. Only experienced pilots should be assigned by flight operations for test flights. If it is required by the kind of test flight there might be, in addition to the minimum crew, engineers, mechanics or inspectors on board who were directly involved in the preceding work/inspection of the aircraft. They must be recorded in the flight log as additional crew members. The responsible engineer shall give the flight crew a briefing on the reason for the test flight, how the preceding work may influence the airworthiness of the aircraft.
The pilot-in-command shall, when carrying passengers or cargo, not simulate: situations that require the application of abnormal or emergency procedures; or flight in instrument meteorological conditions (IMC). Notwithstanding (a), when training flights are conducted by an approved training organization, such situations may be simulated with student pilots on-board.
9.10.1Provisions of oxygenThe amount of supplemental oxygen required shall be determined based on cabin pressure altitude, flight duration and the assumption that a cabin pressurization failure will occur at the pressure altitude or point of flight that is most critical from the standpoint of oxygen needed. After the failure the aircraft will decent in accordance with the emergency procedures as specified in the route documentation to a safe altitude for the route to be flown that will allow continued safe flight and landing. 9.10.2Use of supplemental oxygenThe PIC is responsible for ensuring that all crewmembers use supplemental oxygen in case of the cabin altitude being above 10000ft for more than 30min. If the cabin altitude should exceed 13000ft, the oxygen is always mandatory for all crewmembers. 9.10.3Protective Breathing EquipmentThe [Operator’s name] aircraft are equipped with one Protective Breathing Equipment (PBE) to be used should it become necessary to extinguish an onboard fire.
