OCEANIC CHECKLIST

Flight Planning Climb

Check available NATs, if applicable (Transatlanticflights);

Select available random routes, if applicable;

Check current NOTAMs for: DEST, ORGN, Enroute

FIRs;

Plot flying route on an enroute chart (If flying on

NATs plot adjacent tracks);

Plot Equal Time Points (ETP);

Note possible NAVaids to check accuracy prior to

coast out;

Note TMI number.

Passing TA (Transition Altitude) set QNH1013hPa/29.92in/STBY;

Check ETAs for above FL180;

Prior to Oceanic Entry

HF check (SELCAL Check);

Login on CPDLC or ADS 15 to 45 minutes prior to

entry FIX, if equipped

Check Flight Levels Availability and Maximum Flight

Level;

Obtain Oceanic Clearance from appropriate

clearance delivery:o Confirm and Maintain cleared Flight Level

at Oceanic Entry Fix;

o Confirm Flight Level, Mach (speed) andRoute for Crossing;

o Advice ATC WAH When Able Higherflightlevel;

o Check Aircraft performance capabilities formaintaining assigned altitude and Mach

speed;

Reclearance, if applicable:

o

Update LRNS (e.g.FMC), CFP and EnroutePlotted Chart;

o Check Tracks and distances for new route;Check Altimeters (Cannot differ by more than 200ft)

If yes:

Compass heading check;

Pre-Flight

Aircraft Maintenance Log Check (NAV, COM,

Surveillance and RVSM issues);

Compare FMC FPL with ICAO/IVAO FPL - Check

routing, fuel load, Enroute Climbs, EET;

Check Aircraft current UTC time;

Dual Long Range Navigation System (LRNS) fully

operating for remote oceanic ops.

RVSM:

o Check Altimeters (Cannot differ by morethan 200ft);

o Enroute Weather Forecast Winds aloft,turbulence zone.

Confirm with Present Position Coordinates (POS

INIT FMC Page) Best source/Gate coordinates.

LRNS programming:

o Check AIRAC and Software Versionso Check expanded coordinates of

waypoints

o Route distance check (+ 2 and +2NM ofcontingency)

o Upload winds into the FMC, ifapplicalable.

HF and SELCAL check;

Groundspeed check;

Check IVAO ATIS and Online ATC Positions.

After Oceanic Entry

Maintain Assigned Mach and Altitude;

VHF Radios set to interplane (123.45Mhz) and

Guard (121.500Mhz) frequencies;Squawk 2000 30 minutes after entry FIX, If

applicable;

Strategic Lateral Offset Procedure (SLOP) SOP;

Hourly Altimeter Checks;

Check TCAS mode TA/RA;

Monitor EETs.Taxi

Current Position check on several sources IRS 1

2 3, GPS, etc;

Groundspeed check.

Approaching WAYPOINTS

Confirm EETs (Contingency of +/- 3 min);

Confirm next Latitude/longitude.

Check Next waypoint;

Confirm time to next waypoint (May not differ by

3 min requires revised estimating message to

ATC;

Check Current Winds, Fuel, Temperature (Fuel

and SAT)

Position Report .

Confirm if OPT Flight level and Mach;

Switch off HF box com;

Contact appropriate CTA.

Descent

Transition Level

Set Altimeters to current QNH;Anti-ice - Engines and Wing;

Coast In Arrival / Block In

Compare ground based NAVAID to LRNS;

Remove SLOP;

Compare ground NAVaids to LRNS;

Confirm Routing after oceanic exit;

Check squawk 2000 if applicable.

Navigation accuracy check;

Reports write up:

o Maintenance;o RVSM;o MNPS.
