Operational Procedures
Operational Procedures tests SOPs, checklists, take-off and landing briefings, emergencies, de-icing and cold-weather operations. Norwegian operations add winter contamination and remote-airfield decisions.
Checklists and decisions
Use normal checklists; memory items only for time-critical emergencies. Before take-off, brief the rejected-take-off decision: before V1, reject for engine failure; at or after V1, continue and clean up. Sterile cockpit applies during taxi, take-off and approach.
Emergencies
Engine fire: memory items, secure, land. Depressurization: oxygen, descent. De-icing: only with approved fluid and holdover time; contamination invalidates performance.
Worked example
At 80 kt on a contaminated runway, an engine fails and V1 is 100 kt. Reject: sufficient runway remains and speed is below V1. If the failure occurs at 110 kt, continue, establish climb and return.
Traps
Using memory items for non-critical items; ignoring holdover time; assuming anti-icing fluid removes all contamination; delaying a reject decision.
