Carbon brakes on ATR 72: Single firm brake application; ATR72s are equipped with carbon brakes. Carbon brakes wear occurs with number of brake application and not with energy applied therefore it is recommended to allow the speed to build up to 25kts and then reduce it to 10kts with continuous brake application. Maintaining speed with multiple very light brake applications wear carbon brake the most.
Similarly on landing, consider letting the carbon brakes heat up by getting on the binders early in the ground roll and then stay on them with continuous application until taxi speed.

10.1 CONTINUOUS DESCENT OPERATION (CDO)
See Chapter 19 “Supplementary Information” for CDO preparation and execution.
10.2 DESCENT PREPARATION
GNSS: Expected/ cleared STAR, Approach and Landing runway should be inserted in the GNSS. Altitude constraints, track and distance shall be cross checked on LEGS page from JEPPESEN charts for STAR, Approach and Missed approach procedure. Destination RAIM prediction and ETA should be verified. Correct cruise altitude, descent speed and descent angle on VNAV page are inserted, If the approach is not contained in data base, end of descent altitude on the LEGS page, normally Runway Elevation+50 feet shall be inserted against runway threshold as end of descent Alt. It is important to insert these values, since Top of descent point is determined by these inputs with optimized profile information. Route 2 can be used to plan alternative approach or landing runway at destination or to plan diversion to Alternate airfield. Landing Weight: Landing weight should be calculated by adding actual ZFW and calculated FOD.
LDG WT= ZFW + FOD FOD = FOB – (FF/GS x Track Miles)
NAV Aids: Required VOR/NDB/ILS frequencies shall be set for the approach as per applicable Jeppesen approach charts. Also check ADF/VOR selectors set to the required position on RMI & EFIS control panels.

12 APPROACH GENERAL During approach both pilots shall make maximum use of automation ensuring optimum crew co-ordination and discipline. FCOM limitations on use of autopilot (A/P) shall be followed. Standard decelerated approach shall be carried out whenever possible otherwise speed schedule in table 12.2 shall be followed. NOTE: Also see Chapter 19 “Supplementary Information” for CDO preparation and execution.
12.1 STANDARD APPROACH ENHANCED PROCEDURE A transition from descent speed to final approach speed with
continuous deceleration is defined as Standard Approach on ATR. This
Standard Decelerated Approach has following benefits:
1. Reduce the noise
2. Minimize time and fuel burn
3. Enable better integration in big airports
ATR exhibit an average deceleration rate of 10 Kts per NM in clean
configuration & 20-27 Kts per NM with Flaps.
Due to the rate of deceleration being different in clean configuration
and with flaps, the FCOM (ANOR.1.2 Page 4) formula is only valid for
descend speeds less than 200 Kts. To adapt with company standard
stabilization criteria and to correct the Deceleration Altitude formula
for various descend speeds an additional 1000ft will be included in the
Deceleration Altitude formula as a Company Policy, hence following
method should be used to calculate Deceleration Altitude:
Deceleration Altitude = Descend IAS x 10 + Elevation + 1000
Standard Operating Procedure Document # FOD/SOP-ATR 42/72
Chapter 12 Page - 4
Approach Edition 6 Rev 00
December 03, 2018
Controlled Document – Do Not copy without prior permission of Director Flight Operations
Although adding 1000 ft is only mandatory for descend speeds more
than 200 Kts but to maintain procedure consistency the above formula
shall also be used for descend speeds less than 200 Kts.
This enhanced procedure will give following operational benefits:
1. Continuous decelerated approach is possible from speeds up to
240 Kts.
2. This shall ensure early stabilization, landing configuration achieved,
landing torque set and before landing checklist complete by 1000
AGL.
3. Moving CL to 100% OVRD will not be required on the final stage of
the approach in case of insufficient deceleration.
4. Increased safety by employing the concepts of stabilized approach criteria and procedure standardization.
5. Improved Pilot situational awareness and reduced Pilot workload. 6. Advancing PLs out of Flight Idle early will eliminate any chance of
spurious fire warning on approach which can trigger due to
hampered nacelle ventilation caused by PLs at FI in LDG
configuration as mentioned in FCOM bulletin OEB 44 1/32 Page 9.
7. Cater for small tail wind components; < 5 Kts
Standard Decelerated Approach shall be flown while carrying out
Precision Approaches (PA) and as well as Non Precision Approaches
(NPA) combined with Continuous Descent Final Approach (CDFA)
technique for optimal operations.
Note: Decelerated approach is not allowed if Glide Slope or Vertical Descent Angle (VDA) is steeper than 3 degrees or Tailwind component > 5 Kts in approach or landing.

Procedure Execution:
During Approach briefing crew shall mention the intention to do a
Standard Decelerated Approach and calculate Deceleration Altitude.
Approaching Deceleration Altitude PM shall announce:
“APPROACHING DECEL POINT”
Upon this PF will announce speed bug to VAPP and gradually retard PLs
to flight idle, configuration shall be selected as speed is reduced 5Kts
below the limitation (VFE, VLO) for specific configuration. PLs shall be
adjusted to maintain VAPP.
Example:
Descent IAS 230 Kts
Elevation 700 Ft
230 x 10 + 700 + 1000 = 4000
Deceleration Altitude = 4000 Ft

14 LANDING
Early alignment with runway centre line, correct speed and trajectory are vital for stabilized approach and landing. When approaching to land PM shall call deviation with respect to PAPI/VASI and announce “LOW” or “HIGH”.
If Radio Altimeter is observed approaching 50 feet or less with aircraft not crossing runway threshold, immediate corrective action should be taken to establish on profile.
14.1 LANDING CALLOUTS It is recommended that cabin crew is advised to be seated between 5000 to 3000 Ft AGL. The PM shall announce on PA “CABIN CREW TAKE YOUR STATIONS FOR LANDING”
As soon as flaps 30/35 are selected, PF shall call for “BEFORE LANDING CHECKLIST”.
PM shall ANNOUNCE height calls with reference to radio altimeter as follows:
“80”, “50”, “40”, “30”, “20” and “10”.
Note: ATR 72 has auto height call outs when no fault on GPWS.
14.2 LANDING TECHNIQUE The following procedure is recommended as a basic guide line, landing technique must be improvised as the situation demands.
Maintain standard 3 degree final approach slope and Vapp till 20 ft on the radio altimeter. Aim the touchdown point to ensure landing within touchdown zone.
PM shall call “20”, PF shall flare visually. PM shall call “10”, PF shall reduce PLs to FI.
Note: During landing phase, Pitch should never cross 8 degrees, PM is to monitor the Pitch and call “PITCH, PITCH” whenever pitch reaches 7 degrees threshold.

When the main wheels are on ground, fly down the nose wheel without delay, place feet with heels on rudders and toes on brakes from early part of the approach, despite ATR possess touchdown protection; ensuring brakes are not pressed till all wheels are on ground.
Maintain R/W center line with the help of rudders.
Both PLs: GI (once A/C is established on R/W Centerline)
Both LO PITCH lights check illuminated.
PM check auto retraction of Idle Gate upon touchdown, if no auto retraction pull idle gate manually.
Caution: On ground if the Idle Gate is in Flight position PLs will not move below Fl. Upon landing if PF feels PLs are not moving towards GI he shall announce “IDLE GATE” and PM must respond by pulling the idle gate manually.
Calls regarding Lo Pitch Lts:
2 ENGs --- 2 lo pitch Lts illuminated --- PM announces “Two Lo Pitch”
2 ENGs --- 1 lo pitch Lt illuminated --- PM announces “No reverse”
1 ENG --- 1 lo pitch Lt illuminated --- PM announces “One Lo Pitch”
Caution: If thrust asymmetry occurs or if one “LO PITCH light is not illuminated, the use of reverse is prohibited.
Use reverse at high speeds and prefer the use of brakes at low speeds. As reversers are more efficient at high speed, it is recommended to use reversers just after landing and un-reverse the PLs to GI before 40 Kts to avoid soil ingestion and pitch disconnect.
Apply brakes as required. Runway permitting avoid unnecessary harsh braking to avoiding overheat condition. It may take up to 10 min for brake temperatures to peak at sensor location.
Once landed CM2 shall maintain control column in to the wind during entire landing roll. PM calls “70/ (90 narrow RW) Kts”. CM1 shall announce, “MY CONTROLS” and put his/her hand on nose wheel

steering for directional control. CM2 shall hold control column forward, and into the wind.
14.3 EMERGENCY BRAKE EMER brakes are supplied by blue HYD system and operate without antiskid protection. If normal brakes, are inoperative or failed to respond pilots should be ready to apply emergency brake by bringing the emergency brake handle in the notch. This position provides smooth deceleration whilst minimizing the risk of blown tires.
Use of EMER BRAKE beyond the notch above 60kts shall be avoided to prevent damage to wheels and tires due wheel lock.
Below 60kts, a small further travel (1cm) is available without risk of damage when maximum stopping performance is required.
As a deflated tire is not easily noticeable from the cockpit, NO TAKEOFF
shall be attempted after EMER BRAKE has been used at speed in excess
of 20 knots without prior inspection of the main landing gear.
14.4 CROSS WIND LANDING Special care must be exercised while landing in strong cross wind conditions due narrow main wheel track and high wing design of the aircraft. Cross wind landing technique Document SAFETTY NOTE#1 “BE PREPARED FOR CROSSWIND LANDING” shall be strictly followed with special emphasis on maintaining directional control. During approach in crab ensure flight path is aligned with the runway as nose will be in to the wind, at 20 Ft simultaneously:
1. De-crab using leeward side rudder. 2. Aileron in to the wind 3. Flare 4. PLs gradually retard to idle.
During landing roll also significant aileron deflection into the wind and positive application of the leeward rudder are required to counteract wind cocking due large keel surface.

In cross wind conditions Nose Wheel shall touchdown promptly and CM1 shall be ready to use Nose Wheel steering judiciously for directional control when speed is lowered. The landing flap configuration is the same as the standard flap setting even with strong cross wind.
14.5 NARROW RUNWAYS
FCOM procedure shall be followed for narrow runway operation. When
the aircraft is operated on narrow runways irrespective whether CM1 or
CM2 is PF CM1 shall be ready to use Nose Wheel steering as soon as
NW is on the ground. Use rudders and differential braking to maintain

19 SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION
This chapter provides Supplementary information to chapter 10 & 12 for the purpose of CDO.
CONTINUOUS DESCENT OPERATION (CDO)
GENERAL CDFA is Continuous Descent Final Approach which implies to the final segment of the approach and CDA is a Continuous Descent Approach which starts from early part of the descent both are a vital part of CDO (Continuous Descent Operations). CDO is highly encouraged globally in modern Aviation airspace design due to its many benefits which includes reduced level flight segments, reduction in noise, fuel burn and emissions, while increasing the predictability of flight path to controllers and pilots and increasing flight stability. An optimum CDO starts from the top-of-descent (TOD), i.e. at cruise altitude, and allows the aircraft flying its individual optimal vertical profile down to runway threshold while respecting all ATC clearances and Altitude constraints. PURPOSE This subchapter provides guidance for using the continuous descent final approach (CDFA) technique while conducting a Non-precision Approach (NPA) procedure. It describes the rationale for using the CDFA technique, as well as recommended general procedures and training guidelines for implementing CDFA as a standard operating procedure (SOP).
BACKGROUND Controlled flight into terrain (CFIT) is a primary cause of worldwide commercial aviation fatal accidents. Un-stabilized approaches are a key contributor to CFIT events. Present NPAs are designed with and without step-down fixes in the final approach segment. Step-downs flown without a constant descent will require multiple thrust, pitch, and altitude adjustments inside the final approach fix (FAF). These

adjustments increase pilot workload and potential errors during a critical phase of flight. NPAs designed without step-down fixes in the final segment allow pilots to immediately descend to the MDA after crossing the FAF. In both cases, the aircraft remains at the MDA until descending for the runway or reaching the missed approach point (MAP). This practice commonly referred to as “dive and drive,” can result in extended level flight as low as 250 feet above the ground in instrument meteorological conditions (IMC) and shallow or steep final approaches a) Stabilized Approaches. A stabilized approach is a key feature to a safe approach and landing. Crew are encouraged to use the stabilized approach concept to help eliminate CFIT. The stabilized approach concept is characterized by maintaining a stable approach speed, descent rate, vertical flight path, and configuration to the landing touchdown point. Depart the FAF configured for landing and on the proper approach speed, power setting, and flight path before descending below the minimum stabilized approach height; e.g., 1,000 feet above the airport elevation and at a rate of descent no greater than 1,000 feet per minute, unless specifically briefed.
b) Approach Designs and Continuous Descent. Precision IAPs and Approach Procedures with Vertical guidance (APV) have a continuous descent approach profile in their design. NPAs were not originally designed with this vertical path, but may easily be flown using the CDFA technique. Flying NPAs with a continuous descent profile will provide a safety advantage over flying approaches using the “dive and drive” technique. Therefore, the goal of implementing CDFA is to incorporate the safety benefits derived from flying a continuous descent in a stabilized manner as a standard practice on an NPA.
c) Definition of CDFA. CDFA is a technique for flying the final approach segment of an NPA as a continuous descent. The technique is consistent with stabilized approach procedures and has no level-off. A CDFA starts from an altitude/height at or above the FAF and proceeds to an altitude/height approximately 50 feet above the

landing runway threshold or to a point where the flare maneuver should begin. d) Advantages of CDFA. CDFA offers the following advantages:
(1) Increased safety by employing the concepts of stabilized approach criteria and procedure standardization.
(2) Improved pilot situational awareness and reduced pilot workload. (3) Improved fuel efficiency by minimizing the low-altitude level flight time. (4) Reduced noise level by minimizing the level flight time at high thrust settings. (5) Procedural similarities to APV (Approach with Vertical Guidance)
and Precision approach operations. (6) Reduced probability of infringement on required obstacle
clearance during the final approach segment.
APPLICABILITY The use of CDFA should become a standard procedure in the performance of suitable NPAs. Accordingly, crew shall be evaluated for CDFA in Standardization Check. For ATR operations Continuous descent approach (CDA) is recommended for ILS approaches and following NPAs published with a vertical descent angle (VDA) or/and with use of vertical deviation scale

OPERATIONAL PROCEDURES AND FLIGHT TECHNIQUES a) Equipment Requirement. CDFA requires no specific aircraft equipment other than that specified by the title of the NPA procedure. Pilots can safely fly suitable NPAs with CDFA using basic piloting techniques, GNSS/RNAV systems. Pilots can use points defined by a DME fix, crossing radial, GPS distance from the runway, etc., on the approach plate to track their progress along both the lateral and vertical approach paths to the MAP.
b) Approach Requirement. CDFA requires the use of a published VDA or barometric vertical guidance on the IAP. RNAV approaches are published with a VDA. In rare cases, the VDA may be calculated from a step-down fix altitude. When the IAP is selected from the database a published VDA is provided. Flight Path Angle (FPA) displays the current aircraft inertial flight path angle in degrees relative to the ground. Pilots must compute a required rate of descent manually to cross check the GNSS.
c) Computing Rate of Descent. On a 3 degree VDA, Required Rate of Descent can be calculated by adding a 0 to half of Ground Speed (GS)
(GS / 2) x 10
Example: GS of 140 Kts will require a Rate of Descent 700 Ft/min
Alternatively Pilots can also determine the Required Rate of Descent for a particular approach from its approach plate. It is mentioned in
the Rate of Descent Table for the particular VDA on that approach below the Gnd Speed.
Pilots can use this table to translate the published VDA into the required rate of descent. In Figure 1 example below, RNAV (GNSS) Rwy 32 approach at OPSK, the ROD table, aircraft groundspeed, and a
published VDA are used to determine the required rate of descent needed to fly a CDFA.

Figure 1
(1) Find the published VDA. In this example, it is 3.0 degrees. (2) Find the descent rate based on groundspeed. A groundspeed of
120 knots requires a rate of descent of 637 fpm to fly the 3.0-degree
descent angle. This shall be reviewed and discussed in approach
briefing
d) VDA Design. The VDA is calculated from the FAF/precise final approach fix (PFAF) altitude to the threshold crossing height (TCH). The optimum NPA descent angle (VDA) is 3.0 degrees. When the optimum VDA of 3.0 degree is not possible descent angles are found between 2.75º–3.77º, these kinds of approaches may have a step-down fix due to certain terrain in approach path, the goal is to publish a VDA that keeps the Vertical Path (VPATH) above the step-down fix

altitude. However, in some cases, the VDA is calculated from the step-down fix altitude to the TCH. In most cases, the descent angle between the FAF altitude and the step-down fix altitude is slightly shallower than the published VDA for the segment between the step-down fix and the runway. To avoid a level off, Pilots may fly the approach by descending from the FAF at the shallower rate in order to cross above the step-down fix altitude and then transition to published VDA. e) Managing Rate of Descent. The required VS for a particular segment can be determine from GNSS VNAV page 2/2 on line 3R & 4R and the active Required VS on 2R in magenta color. Sometimes when hard Altitude constraints are given on Legs page, the Required VS can give exaggerated values momentarily in order to meet the constraints. The required VS for a particular segment can also be derived without GNSS to crosscheck. In Figure 2 example below RNAV (GNSS) Rwy 12 approach at OPRN find the descent angle/descent gradient from the FAF to step-down fix. Take the FAF altitude (3,600 ft) and subtract the step-down fix altitude (2730 ft). Take the difference, 870 ft, and divide by the distance between the FAF and step-down fix (2.6 NM). The descent gradient calculated is 335 ft/NM. The descent rate can be found for 140 Kts. Take 335 ft/NM and multiply by GS (140) / 60 and the rate of descent is 781 fpm. This rate can be flown, making necessary adjustments to observe the step-down fix altitude restriction.
The required Altitude at a particular fix to maintain a continuous 3 degree descent can be derived by multiplying its distance from threshold by 300 (approx) or 318 to be precise and adding TCH and Runway elevation to it.
CDFA Altitude = (Distance from Threshold x 318) + Elev + TCH
In Figure 2 example below RNAV (GNSS) Rwy12 approach at OPRN find the CDFA Altitude over waypoint RN363.
RN363 distance from threshold is 9.8 NM (4.2 + 2.6 + 3.0)

9.8 x 318 = 3116
3116 + 1660 (Runway elevation) + 50 (TCH)
= 4,826 Ft
RN363 can be crossed while descending through an altitude of 4,826 Ft, same can be inserted on Legs page against RN363 or database value can be appended with an “A” (4500A) and actual crossing altitude can be checked from VNAV page 2/2.
NOTE: During any approach, Pilots should perform
continuous descent flight paths that meet all altitude constraints.

f) Vertical Descent Planning When Descent Angle or Height (AGL) At the FAF is Unknown. Vertical descent planning is a key component of the Constant Descent Final Approach (CDFA) concept. When not otherwise included on an instrument approach chart, this reference table provides a method to easily determine a vertical descent angle with respect to a defined Height at the FAF (Above Ground Level – AGL) and the Distance to the Runway Threshold (Nautical Miles –NM). The table includes a range of angles between 2.5 and 3.8 degrees. To determine a vertical descent angle based upon a pre-defined combination of FAF Height (AGL) and Distance to Runway Threshold, match the FAF height (AGL) value in the left column to the corresponding Distance to Runway Threshold value in the top row. The value shown in the box where the two lines cross represents the vertical descent angle (in Degrees).

EXAMPLE:
Figure 3B
The table in Figure 3A may also be used to determine a Height (AGL) at the FAF that would provide an optimum descent angle of 3.0 degrees. First, determine the Distance FAF to Runway Threshold (NM) in the top row, and then move down the table to the 3.0 degree value. Finally, move to the left to determine the optimum FAF Height (AGL). (Refer to Note 4 below). IMPORTANT NOTES: NOTE 1: Angles are predicated on an assumed Threshold Crossing
Height (TCH) of 50 feet. NOTE 2: To determine the FAF Altitude as an above Mean Sea Level
value (AMSL), add the FAF Height (AGL value) and the Touchdown Zone Elevation (TDZE).

CONFORMANCE WITH APPLICABLE OPERATING PROCEDURES.
g) Decision Approaching MDA: Flying the published VDA will have the aircraft intersect the plane established by the MDA at a point before the MAP. Approaching the MDA, the pilot has two choices: continue the descent to land with required visual references, or execute a missed approach, not allowing the aircraft to descend below the MDA.
Figure 4
h. Executing a Missed Approach Prior to MAP: When executing a missed approach prior to the MAP and not cleared by an air traffic control (ATC) climb-out instruction, fly the published missed approach procedure. Proceed on track to the MAP before accomplishing a turn, comply with published altitude restrictions between the FAF and the MAP, and continue on or climb to the altitude specified in the missed approach procedure.

i. Visual Descent Point (VDP): A defined point on the final approach course of a non-precision, straight-in approach procedure from which normal descent from the MDA to the runway touchdown point may be commenced, provided the approach threshold of that runway, or approach lights, or other markings identifiable with the approach end of that runway are clearly visible to the Pilot. Flying the published VDA on an approach constructed with a VDP should have the aircraft cross the MDA at or beyond the VDP. The cloud ceiling is reported from ground and thus it is the ceiling above the aerodrome and not above the MSL, to increase Situational awareness Pilot shall discuss in approach briefing the pressure altimeter altitude (Ceiling + Elev) at which they are expected to break the cloud layer during descent whenever low ceiling is expected. For example Figure 1, RNAV (GNSS) Rwy32 approach at OPSK, if reported ceiling at OPSK is 600 Ft the airplane will break the ceiling at altitude 796 Ft (600 + 196) To calculate VDP divide Height above Touchdown (HAT) by 300
VDP = HAT / 300
For example Figure 1, RNAV (GNSS) Rwy32 approach at OPSK the MD(H) for LNAV APP is 434 Ft which will be the HAT where pilot will decide to execute a Go-Around or continue the approach and VDP for 434 Ft will be 1.4 NM (434/300) from the runway threshold where pilot will transit from pre calculated VS to visually adjust for landing provided the approach threshold of that runway, or approach lights, or other markings identifiable with the approach end of that runway are clearly visible to the pilot or if not execute a Go-around. The reality is that if a pilot reaches the missed approach point he may not be in a position to land when he sees the airport. A pilot attempting to dive at the runway can destabilize the approach, especially at night with low visibility, and non-stabilized approaches are a leading cause of accidents. The Visual Descent Point allows for a 3 degree descent to the runway, and thus a stabilized approach.

CAUTION Circuit Breaker (C/B) must not be RESET by the flight crew unless otherwise specified in the operational documentation by ATR.
- Flight Crew may REENGAGE a tripped circuit breaker ONLY IF
HE/SHE JUDGES IT IS NECESSARY FOR A SAFE CONTINUATION OF THE FLIGHT. Only ONE reengagement should be attempted. If the failure alert disappears, continue normal operation, if not apply the associated abnormal procedure.
- At any time, when a Circuit Breaker (C/B) is tripped maintenance action is required.
- Be advised RESET is different than RECYCLE, RESET only involves setting in an already popped out C/B, and RECYCLE is pulling and then setting back in a C/B. RECYCLE is not allowed in air.
LIGHTING Are the bulb(s), digit(s) working? RESET At flight crew discretion, one RESET of a failed system associated to an amber caution may be performed by selecting the related pb (push-button) OFF (for 3 s) then ON except for systems listed below in DO NOT RESET. If the failure alert disappears, continue normal operation and record the event in the aircraft maintenance logbook for information. If not, apply the associated abnormal procedure. For the following systems the flight crew should strictly follow the abnormal procedure and RESET only when it is called by the abnormal procedure:
- EEC - PEC - CAB PRESS MODE SEL -BAT CHG (EMER & MAIN)

DO NOT RESET 1. BLEED LEAK 2. LO LEVEL 3. EEC 4. PEC 5. BUS 6. CAB PRESS MAN 7. BAT CHG (On power shift 1 reset allowed)
After confirming the failure PM shall announce “System Checked Failure Confirmed”
Before executing the checklist the crew must confirm that it is the appropriate one.
After completing the emergency/abnormal checklist crew must clear the CAP, hence another fault on the same main system can be identified.
20.3 CHECKLIST METHODOLOGY
PM reads out the item loudly and performs the required actions after PF confirmation.
Once on the ground with aircraft stopped and parking brakes set, CM 1 performs the required actions as stated in the emergency procedure. No cross check procedure is required. Once all procedures are completed CM1 calls out checklist. In this case challenge and response methodology is used.
When checklist refers to another one, the first one is only completed when the second is all completed.
When checklists are completed, all CAP lights status is checked and then PM clears the CAP and CALLS “CAP CLEAR”.

20.4 ASSESSMENTS / DECISION / INFORMATION
ASSESSMENT Once checklist is completed, PM reviews technical status on PF request, PF summarizes the situation, taking into account the three following aspects: T-O-C • Technical assessment: consider consequences of related failure on systems by scanning the overhead panel (fuel, DC/AC, anti-/de-icing, ACW, hydraulic, air) • Operational assessment: consider possibility to land at destination, divert / alternate, depending on failure, operational limitations, weather conditions, fuel status. • Commercial assessment: consider passengers or crew casualties (e.g.: depressurization) and in case of diversion, possibility to allow passengers to proceed to destination airport (transportation, feeding, lodging accommodations...), in coordination with situation room when possible. However Safety must always be the top priority. DECISION Once assessment is performed, PF is able to suggest a decision, endorsed by Captain. Crew must settle a consensus before making a decision. Safest course of action must be considered while making the decision. INFORMATION PF and PM plan together the consequences of failures encountered. Then crew shall inform the following when time and situation permits.

23 ABORTED TAKE-OFF
This Procedure is compiled for clarity of understanding the abort
procedure execution and to keep “ATR abort procedure ANOR.6
FCOM” in line with PIA operations.
Due to the design feature of ATR PLs crew must give special
emphasis to ensure PLs are not stuck in (FI) and are reduced all
the way till (GI)/REV by confirming through LO PITCH
annunciation.
After abort crew must select RCL which will enable the system
to come out of TO inhibit therefore Master Caution/Warning
and relevant CAP message will be available for the crew.
(Instructors shall give special emphasis on these points during
training.)
General
Takeoff can be aborted for several operational or technical
reasons and it is not possible to list all of these factors. However,
in order to help the Captain with the decision, alerts that are
nonessential until landing gear retraction are inhibited by TO
INHIB engagement. The success of an aborted takeoff depends on
the Captain making timely decisions and using the proper
techniques.
In a global survey most commonly repeated occurrences and
mistakes by pilots during an abort are listed:
- Delay in performing the stopping procedure
- Keeping Flight Idle during deceleration instead of Ground Idle
- Not applying fully nose down control column during deceleration
- Damaged tires
- Worn brakes or higher than normal initial brakes temperature
- Brakes not being fully applied

Controlled Document – Do Not copy without prior permission of Director Flight Operations
- A runway friction coefficient lower than assumed in computations
- An error in gross weight calculation.
Decision Making
The decision to abort a takeoff and to stop the aircraft should be
made by the Captain. Therefore the Captain should keep his/her
hand on the thrust levers until the aircraft reaches V1, whether the
Captain is the Pilot Flying (PF) or the Pilot Monitoring (PM). The time
available for decision making is limited. To minimize the risk, many
alerts considered non-essential are inhibited between TO INHIB
engagement and gear retraction. Therefore, any warnings triggered
during this period must be considered as significant.
Below V1
If the decision is to abort, the Captain announces "STOP MY
CONTROLS". This announcement both confirms the decision to abort
the takeoff and transfer of controls to the Captain. Assertive and
loud announcement of this call is vital to bring both crew in abort
phase and out of TO phase.
The Captain should consider discontinuing the takeoff, if any of the
following conditions occur:
0 to 60 Kts:
1. ASI malfunction
2. NP exceeding 101%
3. Takeoff configuration warning
0 to V1:
1. Master warning / caution
2. Unusual noise or vibration
3. ATPCS not armed or intermittent

4. Windshear
5. Cabin smoke / fire
6. Abnormal acceleration
7. Tire failure
8. Unsafe / unable to fly
9. Engine failure / fire / stall
10. Significant Bird/ Animal strike
11. Wind shield failure.
12. Abnormal or significant fluctuations in engine parameters
(Respecting allowable over TQ limit FCOM LIM.5.70.1.1)
13. ITT exceeding Red Mark (OAT 15 deg C or Higher)
14. Dual DC GEN Fault
The list is not exhaustive.
Aborted Takeoff Maneuver
As soon as the decision to abort is made, the Captain announces
“STOP MY CONTROLS”, takes over control of the aircraft, and
executes an aborted takeoff. During any aborted takeoff, both PLs are
retarded down to Gl by pulling on the triggers and full braking should
be applied if needed. Simultaneously, control column must be pushed
forward to maximize controllability. As soon as the LO PITCH light(s)
comes on, full reverse(s) can be applied if needed. Reverse is available
even in single engine. At 70 Kt, control column is transferred to the
first officer and the Captain takes the nose wheel steering control. In
case of single reverse operation roll control must be applied (possibly
to full travel) in order to minimize the tendency to bank on the side of
the operating engine.
On a wet or slippery runway, or takeoff at or near maximum runway
limit weight, an aborted takeoff at or near V1 will require MAXIMUM
use of brakes until reaching a full stop and use of reverses until 40 Kt.

On a contaminated runway, since the effect of asymmetrical reverse
thrust is not predicted with a sufficient accuracy, it is therefore not
recommended to use single engine reverse thrust. In case of fire, if

Edition 6 Rev 00
December 03, 2018
Controlled Document – Do Not copy without prior permission of Director Flight Operations
24 TAKEOFF ENGINE FLAMEOUT PROCEDURE
24.1 ENGINE FLAME OUT < V1
An Engine flame out at takeoff roll will not trigger any master caution due TAKEOFF INHIBIT and hence could be indistinct to identify therefore PM must keep a vigilant watch on Engine parameters. Before V1 a sudden drop in Torque or any anomaly must be timely announced and upon confirming by the Captain necessary stop action must be initiated as per Takeoff Abort Procedure
24.2 ENGINE FLAME OUT > V1 NO AUTO FEATHER
In case of an Engine flame out after V1 Takeoff must be continued. To counter sudden Asymmetry significant amount of rudder application and slight aileron towards the operating Engine will be required to maintain directional control.
The Engine Flame out at Takeoff procedure remains same as per FCOM/FCTM, only the differences are mentioned below which are to be followed in case of NO AUTO FEATHER.
UPTRIM check, if no UPTRIM both PLs to be advanced to the Ramp.
AUTO FEATHER check, if no AUTOFEATHER DONOT retard the PL before Feathering the Failed Engine as it will result in fine pitch of the failed Engine propeller causing more drag.
In case of Engine flame out at Takeoff and NO AUTOFEATHER: Move CL of affected Engine to FTR after confirming (Swift action
will be required) Above 400 Ft AGL once established in stabilize climb PL affected Engine move to FI after confirming CL affected Engine move to FUEL SO after confirming

24.3 E/O AT TAKE OFF ABOVE ACCELERATION ALTITUDE
An Engine flame out after crossing acceleration altitude could be difficult to handle as PWR MGT is moved out of T.O after which AUTOFEATHER & UPTRIM are not available, the increased drag from the wind milling propeller could be detrimental and can cause speed depletion which is not favorable specially when in close proximity with ground. Hence manual feathering will be required in this scenario; however sequence below shall be followed:
PL affected Engine move to FI after confirming
■ If NH drops below 30 % (no immediate relight)
CL of affected Engine move to FTR THEN FUEL S.O. after confirming
Bleeds 1+2 OFF as applicable Leveled acceleration to white bug shall be considered if required keeping in view terrain constraints PWR MGT apply MCT

This procedure shall be used if an Engine flame out occurs after moving PWR MGT out of T.O till final (4th) segment of Takeoff, which ends at 1500 Ft AGL or clearance of terrain whichever is later. Thereafter if an Engine flame out is incurred the procedure “ENG 1(2) FLAME OUT IN FLIGHT” shall be used.

25 CRUISE ENGINE FLAMEOUT PROCEDURE
1. Identification:
Engine failure identification could not be obvious in cruise or
descent, crew shall restrain from going in to “GEN FAULT” or “OIL
PRESS” checklist which will be given by CCAS as a consequence of
Engine failure. ITT drops rapidly below 350 ᵒC which is a vital
indication to determine Engine flameout. As soon as crew detects
this should announce “ENGINE 1/2 FLAME OUT”.
2. Both PLs in the notch:
Ensure both PLs are advanced in the notch to avoid depletion of
Speed.
3. Rudder Trim:
It is favorable to keep autopilot engaged if available in this
situation. Sway towards the failed engine can result in to
instinctive application of rudder by the crew which will disengage
autopilot to avoid this rudder trim towards the live engine as
required.
4. Memo items:
Memory items shall be done without any delay.

5. MCT:
PF shall order MCT as required. PWR MGT shall be moved to MCT if
necessary.
Note: Setting MCT before feathering can lead in to more drag from
failed engine.
6. Mayday call:
PF announces Radio my side and transmit to ATC:
“MAYDAY, MAYDAY, MAYDAY, (CALL SIGN) ENGINE FLAME OUT
STANDBY”
7. Drift Down action:
From level flight a shallow descent must be initiated following an
Engine failure if flying above Single Engine ceiling. (Procedure in
point 8 shall be initiated as soon aircraft is settled in to Drift Down
mode)
Set lower Altitude; (MSA or SE ceiling or 7000/8000 ft for optimum

27 GALLEY OVERHEAT/BURN
An Un-serviceable Auto cut out function of oven can lead to Galley Overheat/Burn hence power supply to the galley can be stopped by pulling galley power CBs in the cockpit which shall be Red collard. If need be to cut off the power supply of the Galley during the flight, the cabin crew members can ask the Captain who will direct the co-pilot to disengage (after confirming) the Circuit Breaker N19 GALLEY (150 MC) located in the 122 VU and the 28V in the galley will not be supplied anymore. To cut off the 115 V power supply in the galley, the co-pilot can disengage (after confirming) the Circuit Breaker CF6 ACW SVCE BUS & GALLEY ON EXT PWR (1XX) located in the 126 VU. Note that the disengagement of the Circuit Breaker 1XX in the 126 VU will also stop the supply of the electrical outlet 52LE in the 120 VU and two indicating lights on the cabin crew panel (7XX).

28 EMERGENCY DESCENT
If cabin pressurization problems occur during a flight all endeavors must be made to control the pressurization manually through “AUTO PRESS FAULT” checklist, if cabin pressure is likely to go above 10,000 ft crew shall don O2 mask while doing the checklist, the position of Over Board Valve SW (guarded Auto) must also be verified during system check before the checklist. The crew may also consider executing a rapid descent to a suitable altitude in coordination with ATC to avoid loss of pressurization. However if pressurization is uncontrollable Emergency Descent procedure to be initiated:

28.1 USE OF O2
Oxygen is provided in the cockpit through Quick Donning Mask and at full bottle pressure can supply the flight crew for 120 min at demand flow if used in Normal diluted mode (Oxygen diluter selector not pressed in). The time is reduced to 15 min if used in 100% oxygen mode at demand flow; (Oxygen diluter selector pressed in).This mode is used in case of smoke/fumes. When the oxygen diluter selector is at 100% the delivery flow can be modulated from demand flow to continuous full pressure by rotation the red emergency knob selector clockwise from zero to full pressure.
Cabin crew portable oxygen provides continuous diluted flow for duration of 30 min.
There is a provision to provide oxygen to 25% of the Passengers (ATR42=12 PAX/ATR72=19 PAX) with continuous diluted flow for 30 min. The passenger will be supplied upon switching ON the PAX Supply from the cockpit. But the masks will have to be manually operated by Cabin crew as mentioned below:
1. Open PSU (Passenger Service Unit) with TMR (Tool Manual Release)key, insert this tool in the oxygen module hole and push upwards (the oxygen mask unit cover will open).
2. Once mask is accessible pull down and release the safety pin.
3. Put O2 mask on the passenger’s face.
4. Confirm oxygen flow from the indicator, green supply line.
