Insert any company extended range operations procedures. They should address flight planning, operations and maintenance considerations related to turbine powered multi-engine operations over water or on polar routes that exceed 180 minutes flying time at the one-engine-inoperative cruise speed, under standard conditions in still air, from an adequate airport. FAA Advisory Circular 135-42, Extended Operations (ETOPS) and Operations in the North Polar Area, contains useful information.

Catering waste and garbage that contains, or is suspected of containing, animal products or by-products, that originated outside the country of destination either as food taken on board, or as a result of transportation of animals in an aircraft, shall be bagged in red trash bags and disposed of in approved international garbage disposal facilities.
At home base the international garbage bags will be taken directly to the airport international garbage disposal depot and the disposal will be logged in the depot log. If the flight arrives when the disposal depot is closed, the garbage will be stored in a marked closed container and taken to the disposal depot at the earliest opportunity.
When planning for international operations the PIC shall ensure that approved international garbage handling facilities are available at the destination airports. If there is doubt regarding the status of ground handling facilities the garbage shall kept on board the aircraft in a marked closed container until approved handling facilities are available.
5Emergency Procedures and Equipment
5.1 Airborne Emergencies
The PIC should declare an emergency when any abnormal situations affect the safety of flight. Management of the emergency will be in accordance with the aircraft SOP and well defined as to:
-
who will fly the aircraft,
-
who will accomplish the checklist, and
-
who will navigate and communicate with ATC.
The Pilot-In-Command has the option for canceling the emergency if later developments so dictate.
5.1.2 Use of Transponder/Radar Assistance
Appropriate transponder codes will be selected for the flight area and situation.
5.1.3 Emergency Landing and Evacuation Procedures
The emergency briefing provided in the event of an emergency, where time and circumstances permit, shall consist of instructions pertaining to:
-
Safety belts or safety harnesses:
-
lap belts must be fastened snug around the hips. If equipped, shoulder harnesses must be used;
-
if carried, child restraint devices should be checked to ensure they are secured to the aircraft seat with a seat belt and do not restrict access to emergency exits;
-
seat belts must remain fastened until the aircraft comes to a complete stop.
-
Seat backs and tables (as applicable):
-
seat backs and tables must be secured in the upright and locked position.
-
Carry-on baggage:

all carry-on baggage including handbags or any other items of mass must be safely stowed in approved locations. Seat pockets may be used for smaller items.
-
Safety features card:
-
advise passengers to review the safety features card and to pay particular attention to exit locations and operation;
-
ensure that passengers seated next to emergency exits are willing and able to open that exit. If not, request the assistance of an able-bodied person;
-
if possible assign an able-bodied person to assist young or special needs passengers;
-
advise passengers of the safest direction and least hazardous route to move away from the aircraft once outside.
-
Brace position (when to assume, how long to remain and considerations for side facing seats):
-
advise passengers that they will receive two verbal commands:
#1, Prior to Landing:
The command “Brace”, will be given prior to impact / landing, at which time the passengers will assume and maintain the brace position illustrated on the safety features card until the aircraft has stopped and;
#2, After Impact / Landing:
If required, the command “Evacuate” will be given after the aircraft has stopped and the engines shut down. Passengers should then be instructed to immediately “release seat belts” and “get out” of the aircraft using the nearest useable exit.
If an evacuation is not required, the command “Remain Seated” will be given.
-
Life preservers (as applicable):
-
if an emergency landing is anticipated on water, advise passengers to immediately locate and don life preservers, secure with straps and to inflate only when outside the aircraft.
-
Child restraint system (if applicable):
-
evacuation procedures for the occupant of a child restraint system.
If possible, crew members should retrieve the first aid kit and emergency equipment prior to evacuating the aircraft.
