GUIDANCE FOR SECOND OFFICERS ACTING AS PFFOR A SECTOR

Second Officers should remember that every pilot started their career in Qantas as arelatively inexperienced junior crew member. Captains have traditionally encouragedSecond Officers to act as PF for a sector to provide on the job training andexperience and to ensure a smoother path to promotional training.Considerations when offering a sector to the Second Officer should include, but arenot limited to:

The experience of the S/O.The experience of the operating F/O in terms of recency and experience on type.Weather conditions while the S/O is flying. ATC complexity and airport environment.

Limitations for seat occupancy are detailed in the FAM, however, substantial benefitcan be obtained by the Second Officer acting as PF for as much of the sector aspossible under the guidance of the Captain and First Officer. The Second Officer hasbeen given the sector, not the aircraft. This should be treated as an opportunity tolearn, not to check.

Second Officers should be encouraged to ask questions if they are unsure of anything and to ask for assistance if required. The exercise should be one of asupportive learning experience that will assist in future training.

The following is produced as a broad outline for Flight Crew on what is expected of a

Second Officer when he/she is given a sector to fly as the ‘PF’. These are for guidance only and from time to time circumstances may necessitate variations tothese duties at the Captain's discretion.

Delegate duties at Flight Planning – i.e. reading of NOTAMS and INTAMS, checkingof computer flight plan and analysis of weather forecasts.Review all information and propose a fuel order for the sector. Don't be offended if the Captain changes the fuel order, find out why and benefit from the discussion.

Brief the CSM on sector information, flight time and anticipated weather that mayimpact on cabin service. Liaise as to the timing of PAs, any special pax and anyproblem regarding crew. If possible the CSM should be asked to direct anyoperational matters to the S/O.

Be aware of the maintenance status of the aircraft and M.E.L. items applicable (astime permits). Determine if there are any maintenance problems that may delayboarding passengers. Liaise with the CSM and Company if required.

Brief other flight crew members (Flight Engineer, additional S/O) on the fuel order and relevant flight planning details.

Allocate pre-flight duties, including any special instructions regarding calculation of the Take Off data (runway choice, intersection departures, wet runway, windshear).




4 of 7

Carry out full F/O pre flight checks, including chart preparation. This must becompleted under the supervision of the First Officer.

• Co-ordinate with CSM with regard to boarding progress and the timing of a'Welcome Aboard' P.A. if desired.

•

Maintain awareness of scheduled departure time and coordinate activities toachieve an on-time departure.

• Request Airways Clearance using correct local procedures.

• Give a full departure briefing, including coverage of areas not actually operatedby the Second Officer - taxi, take-off and initial clean-up, etc.

• Call for the appropriate Checklists in preparation for push back and engine start.

• Before pushback all crew should be in their designated seats.

• Seat changes must be conducted in accordance with the requirements of the F.A.M.

Upon resuming a control seat after Take Off :

• Initiate/continue aircraft acceleration and clean-up, showing awareness of A.T.C.

requirements and terrain.

• If not already completed, call for the After Take-Off Checklist. Determinerequirements for the Seatbelt Sign having considered aircraft body angle andweather ahead.

• Use sound judgement as to when to hand-fly the climb and when to engage anautopilot. Airmanship should dictate the mode of flight.

• Carry out a thorough Top of Climb scan. Include fuel configuration.

• Monitor navigational accuracy and use of en-route radio navigation aids.

• Initiate navaid selections and FMC loading to stay ahead of the aircraft.

• If required prepare the crew roster ( in consultation with the Captain).

• Monitor the performance schedule and initiation of changes to speed and altitudeto comply with company policy.

• Keep an awareness of aircraft around you and develop a picture of how theseaircraft may affect your service in terms of en-route climbs etc.

• Regularly check trim as per policy applicable to aircraft type.

• Co-ordinate with the CSM for P.A.'s, lighting requirements (no smoking sign) andmaintain an awareness of the state of service activity in the cabin.

• Maintain situational awareness with regard to the proximity of alternate/availableairports and aircraft range.

• Confirm awareness of local procedures for the destination and any requirements

applicable. Refer to RMS for the country and specific airport(s) information. Refer to WWT for the destination/alternate ATC pages for holding speeds, speedcontrol etc., and the Emergency section of the WWT for extra information.Calculate diversion fuels and fuel available for holding.

• Manage the collection of weather forecasts/ reports for destination andalternates.

• Monitor fuel status and DPA requirements.

• Prepare for arrival, including thorough review of charts and manuals.

• Ensure arrival message sent to Company.

• Calculate or cross check the descent profile.

• Organise the return to duty of all crew members prior to Top Of

Descent, allowing sufficient time to load and check all navigation data for arrivaland make an arrival P.A.




5 of 7

• Brief for the arrival, including coverage of those areas not actually to be flown bythe Second Officer (final approach, runway and taxiway information).

• The use of auto pilot for descent should be a matter of airmanship, consideringweather, traffic and workload. Auto flight may provide a safer environment andreduces workload for the PNF as well.

•

Monitor weather on the descent with particular attention to Anti-Ice requirements,turbulence and the state of cabin preparation.

• Monitor the descent profile and make adjustments as necessary to regain profile.S/Os should be guided in the ‘success’ of their descent by the subsequentactions of the PF.

• Seat changes must be conducted in accordance with the requirements of theFAM.

• Maintain an active interest in the remainder of the sector once the control seat isvacated.

• Take an active part in the post flight assessment of the crew's performance. S/Osare encouraged to ask for constructive criticism. Input from the F/O should beencouraged.

• Captains should note the Company requirements for training reports for new S/Os. The multi-file has training forms and these can be used asguidance for de-briefing subjects.
