1. Introduction Standard Operating Procedures (SOP) are designed to provide guidance to BFS students and instructors to ensure safe, efficient, logical and predictable means of carrying out flight and simulator procedures. SOP are developed according to the Belgian Civil Aviation Authorities (BCAA) regulation, the European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) requirements and the aircraft manufacturer’s approved publications. Where practicable, SOP are common to all BFS aircraft types. However, a specific SOP document is published for each aircraft type. This document is applicable to Diamond DA42. It is expected that all pilots (whether they are on training or not) will operate BFS aircraft as specified in SOP. However, SOPs are not hard rules and deviations are acceptable, provided deviation is briefed beforehand and deviation is based on common sense and safety. SOP will be regularly adapted to reflect best aviation industry standards. Suggestions are welcome, please contact BFS CFI or HT.

2. Documentation The list of documentation required for operation of the DA42 is to be found in this chapter. All documents are available on BFS website http://www.bfschool.aero . Pilots should be in possession of their own (electronic or paper) copy. All documents are regularly updated. A placard displayed in the crewroom shows the applicable version/date of all documents. It is pilot responsibility to update and become proficient with latest version of documents. AFM. Aircraft manufacturer has developed an Airplane Flight Manual (AFM). All pilots shall be thoroughly familiar with the AFM, in its latest version. This includes Supplement A13 (Autopilot) and Supplement S03 (Ice Protection System).

http://www.bfschool.aero/


© BFS

SOP. SOP are based upon the AFM but do not supersede it, so the AFM prevails in all cases.

Pilot’s Guides. Garmin has published a G1000 Pilot’s Guide for the Diamond DA42. BFGoodrich has published a WX-500 Stormscope user’s guide. All pilots shall be familiar with those Pilot’s Guides.

Checklists. Every DA42 at BFS has its own copy, labelled with aircraft registration. It must not be removed from aircraft. For detailed checklists instructions, refer to Chapter 7. Checklists Instructions and BFS DA42 QRH.

Jeppesen. BFS has selected Jeppesen as charts provider. Pilots must familiarise themselves with its use. Pilots must have a good knowledge of Jeppesen Airway Manual.

IFR Manual. Pilots flying under Instruments Rules should operate aircraft as stipulated in the BFS IFR Manual.

Notes and Notices. Notes and Notices are published to facilitate rapid and efficient communication.

Notes remain valid until incorporated in manuals’ revisions.

Notices contain temporary information and will not be incorporated in Manuals’ revisions.

Notes and Notices are displayed in the crew-room and are available on BFS website http://www.bfschool.aero . It is expected that all pilots (whether they are on training or not) will operate BFS aircraft as specified in these documentations.



© BFS

3. Charts No flight will be planned without adequate charts/maps. It is pilot responsibility to have all required and up to date charts/maps available in cockpit for flight. Belgian airports charts (IFR and VFR) are available on BFS website http://www.bfschool.aero . Charts for other countries may be requested to BFS Dispatcher. Those charts are kept up to date by BFS dispatch. Electronic charts on tablets are NOT accepted as official flight documentation, unless approved by BFS CFI or HT.

4. Defect Report Failures, technical problems and missing equipment will be reported to maintenance by means of an entry in the electronic DEFECT REPORT on BFS DATA, to be filled immediately after completion of the flight. Only one defect per line will be entered. Verbal reporting is not acceptable, and will never be considered as an official report. However, a briefing with BFS engineers is encouraged. BFS Dispatch shall be immediately notified by pilots if a DEFECT REPORT obviously affects the operation of the aircraft. BFS strongly insists on pilot responsibility on defects reporting. Whether the defect has a safety impact or not, whether the defect was caused by pilot misuse or not, hiding defects is a serious offence and will be treated accordingly by BFS management.

5. Belgocontrol account Every pilot (whether on training or not) will create a belgocontrol account on belgocontrol website (http://www.belgocontrol.be). For all flights departing from (or arriving in) Belgium, Belgocontrol is the official source for consulting weather, notams, AIP and submitting ATC FPL.



© BFS

6. Flight preparation Flight preparation is completed in the crew-room. Students have to report for their flight session one hour before the flight (see BFS Operations Manual). This does not apply for simulator session, but it is expected that students will have terminated their lessons preparation before entering the simulator. Note: Booking time on BFS Planning is “aircraft time”. Complete flight preparation

(including refuelling when possible) should be performed before the start of the booking time. Similarly, terminate your flight early enough to have the aircraft ready for next crew at the end of your booking time.

Aircraft defects must be checked on BFS DATA. No flight may be performed with defects having a significant impact on planned operations. Weather (actual and forecast) must be verified for departure, arrival and enroute diversion airports, as specified in VFR/IFR rules. Enroute weather (winds aloft, freezing level and significant weather charts) must be verified. Notams must be verified for departure, arrival and enroute diversion airports. FIR Notams must be verified. Weather and Notams will be verified from belgocontrol source only (unless flight is departing and arriving from outside Belgium). Belgian airports ATIS information may be received on belgocontrol phone number +32 2 206 25 25. ATC flight plan will be filed for all IFR flights via belgocontrol website (unless flight is departing and arriving from outside Belgium). Flight plan acceptance will be checked by phone (Brussels Briefing +32 2 206 25 40). At airports where internet is not available, faxed or phoned ATC flight plan is acceptable. See Figure 1 for an example of belgocontrol website ATC flight plan. An IFR slot is required to perform local IFR training in EBCI. This slot has to be arranged by BFS dispatcher (except during weekend). The beginning of the IFR slot has to coincide with the aircraft ready for departure at the holding point of the active runway. Arrange your flight preparation in accordance.

Note: For FPL item 15 CRUISING SPEED, refer to chapter 15. Cruise in this document.

Note: The DA42 is fitted with dual GPS, and complies with RNAV5/RNP5

requirements. Letter “G” may be entered in item 10 – Equipment of the ATC FPL. A GPS navigation database does not form part of the required functionality of RNAV5. Therefore, if the database is outdated, manual entry/verification of waypoints have to be done. It must be emphasized that this significantly increases the potential for waypoint errors.

Note: For IFR FPL, do not include SID and STAR on flight plan route description as

SID/STAR/RWY may change after flight plan is filed. File last point on intended SID and first point of intended STAR.

Weight and Balance calculation is required for all flights. Performance calculation is required for all flights. Weather, Notams, ATC FPL, Weight and Balance calculation and Performance calculation are legal documents and must be available on board. Note: BFS DA42 are not available for renting for private flights (i.e. flights without

a CRI at the flight controls), unless approved by BFS CEO. Note: Grass runways shall not be used with DA42, unless approved by BFS CEO, or

in case of emergency. Note: Per SOP, minimum landing distance for DA42 is 760m, unless approved by

BFS CEO, or in case of emergency.

7. Checklist utilisation

NORMAL Checklists. BFS SOP is to use the “flow” technique: scan the cockpit (see figure 2) and verify/set all switches/instruments in their normal position for the respective phase of flight. When the flow is completed, read the checklist to verify that all items are completed. For detailed instructions, refer to BFS DA42 QRH.

Figure 2. “Flow” technique. ABNORMAL and EMERGENCY Checklists are read-and-do checklist.

BOXED ITEMS and some items preceded by a black thick line are to be executed from memory. When memory items are completed and flight condition permits, the checklist (including a review of memory items) will be performed in read-and-do.


© BFS

8. Aircraft preflight Refuel only with JET A1 fuel. In EBCI, JET A1 is only delivered by fuel truck. Arrange refuelling with BSCA Operations by phone on 071 251 263. Record actual fuel uplift in litres in aircraft logbook. If refuelling to maximum was

performed, also add the remark FFBF (Full Fuel Before Flight). Since DA42 fuel

gauges are calibrated in US Gallons, this unit will be used per SOP, except to record fuel uplift in aircraft logbook (1 GAL = 3.785 litres, Jet A1 density = 0.8). The DEC FUEL / INC FUEL / RST FUEL on the G1000 may only be adjusted by the pilot having actually refuelled the aircraft. This allows subsequent pilots to assess the quantity in the AUX TANKS. However, when it is confirmed that both AUX TANKS are empty, it is allowed to adjust the G1000 fuel quantity. After landing, the GAL REM on the G1000 will be noted in aircraft logbook. ATIS (and ATC clearance if applicable) may be obtained before engine start with ELEC MASTER switched ON and AVIONIC switched OFF. In this configuration, only the headset connected to the left pilot position is available, without speaker. It is acceptable to momentarily set AVIONIC to ON to allow the instructor/second pilot to listen to ATIS/ATC Clearance. IFR ATC clearance and start-up clearance are two distinct clearances. However, both may be requested at the same time. Set STROBE and POSITION lights to ON before engine start.

Perform the BEFORE START CHECKLIST


© BFS

9. Engine start Before starting engines, select DISPLAY BACKUP and select SYSTEM DISPLAY on MFD. This allows Amperage and Voltage to be monitored. Cancel DISPLAY BACKUP after Pitot/Stall Warning Heat check in the after start flow. Remember that engine OIL PRES must be outside RED within 3 seconds. After second engine start, start chrono and run engines at idle for 2 minutes minimum.

Perform the AFTER START CHECKLIST

10. Before Taxi Set both FUEL SELECTOR to CROSSFEED. Set AVIONIC to ON and perform the Garmin 1000 set-up.

DA42 SOP SPEED Garmin 1000 Airspeed Indicator displays permanently VMCA (Red Line at 68 KIAS) and VYSE (Blue Line VBL at 82 KIAS). Other speed may be displayed and changed by crew : Glide - VR - VX - VY - VLE -VLO. Per SOP, X-bug will be set at 100 KIAS (VAPP) and Y-bug at 120 KIAS (VPROC). It must be understood that these speeds X-bug and Y-bug are NOT best angle and best rate speeds. VR will be set at 72 KIAS. Glide, VLE and VLO will not be displayed. In SOP flight profiles, segment flown at VYSE / VFINAL will be drawn in blue, segment flown at VAPP in red, segment flown at VTRANS in green and segment flown at VPROC will be drawn in yellow.

Set VR to 72 KIAS Set X-bug to 100 KIAS Set Y-bug to 120 KIAS


© BFS

COM 1 is used for ATC and COM 2 for non-ATC communication (121,50 emergency frequency watch by default, ATIS, VOLMET, or dispatch when needed).

IFR Setup

The general rule is to set : - HSI, Pointer 1 and DME on NAV1 - Pointer 2 on NAV2. First set frequency, then verify identification, then set the HSI. Set active NAV1 for first radial on SID and standby NAV1 on the ILS of the active runway in case of immediate return. Set active NAV2 for second radial on SID and standby NAV2 for third radial on SID.

Briefing will be completed by pilot flying and will follow this guideline;

Guideline

• Weather, Notams, Fuel, Aircraft Status • TakeOff configuration (Flaps and Power), TakeOff speeds • Taxi routing • Departure Procedure (SID and Nav set-up if IFR), including altitudes • Emergencies • Specials (Threats and Errors)

IFR Briefing

• Routing, Altitudes, Radios Aids for IFR flights : Follow Jeppesen SID layout during the briefing. During SID reading, indicate NAV/COM/Bugs settings. Example: “Initial climb clearance 4000’; 4000’ is set” “Intercept GSY R-246 to D6 GSY; GSY is active and identified in NAV1 with 246 course on HSI, DME is set to NAV1”.

• Emergencies : Brief actions before and after rotation/decision point.


© BFS

Example: “In case of problem before rotation, I will call “STOP” and stop immediately” “In case of engine failure after rotation and sufficient runway remaining, I will call “Landing” and land on runway. If no sufficient runway remaining, I will call ‘Continue”, fly the aircraft and perform Memory Items. I will continue straight ahead to MSA / request vectors / make visual approach”

• Specials (Threats and Errors): Brief any item that deviates from routine operations. Identify threats to safety and possible errors. Set both FUEL SELECTOR to ON.

Perform the BEFORE TAXI CHECKLIST

10. Taxi Turn TAXI light ON. Look out, release parking brakes and perform a gentle brake check at low speed. During taxi, the pilot flying will have one hand on the throttle and one hand on the control stick. There is no Run Up. Aircraft may be taxied from parking to the holding point of the active runway. During taxi, do not ride the brakes. If taxi speed increases, set idle power, allow the aircraft to accelerate then reduce speed by applying a constant low brake pressure. Repeat this cycle as required. To turn the aircraft, slow down if taxiing fast, and push on the lower part of the rudder pedals. Only if steeper turn is required, assist turn with differential braking. Lookout is essential. Avoid any non-essential actions and head down during taxi.


© BFS

When clear of congested area, perform an instrument check during a turn: check horizons stable (x2), headings turning (HSI, compass) and ball indicator. Call : “Horizons steady” “Headings increasing (decreasing)” “Slip-skid indicator and ball to the left (right)” Note: Every time the aircraft is stopped during taxi, set Parking Brake and turn

TAXI light OFF. Never set Parking Brake on the Runway. ECU test shall be performed when aircraft is stopped with parking brake set. However, if the pilot on the right-hand seat is qualified on DA42, the ECU test may be performed during taxi if controls are transferred to the right-hand seat pilot. Both ECU may be tested at the same time. ECU test may only be performed when all engines instruments are in the normal operating range.

11. Before Takeoff All takeoffs are performed with Flaps UP, 100% load.

Perform the BEFORE TAKEOFF CHECKLIST


© BFS

12. Line Up and Takeoff When clear to line up on the active runway: • Set Pitot Heat ON. • Verify approach sector free and call “Approach free”. • Call “Runway heading ___ , Elevation ___ ft”. When cleared for Takeoff: • Set Landing light ON. • Set power to MAX. Verify RPM (between 2240 to 2300) then call “Power checked ”. Maintain runway heading with your toes on rudder (heels on the floor). Make sure your toes don’t push on the brake pedals. Turn ailerons into the wind. • Call ’’Airspeed alive’’. • At 72 KIAS (VR bug): call ’’Rotate’’ and rotate slowly. • When a positive rate of climb is seen on VSI and altimeter and there is no sufficient runway for an immediate landing, call “Positive rate, Gear Up” and select Gear Up. Accelerate to initial climb speed 90 KIAS. For airports with close obstacles, climb at VX-VY 79 KIAS until clear of obstacles.

13. Engine Failure during /after Takeoff • If an engine fails during takeoff roll, reject the takeoff. • If an engine fails immediately after takeoff ;

a) If there is sufficient runway remaining and landing gear is still down, land on the runway.

b) If there is no sufficient runway remaining, perform following flow chart :


© BFS

14. Climb When passing 400 ft AGL : • Accelerate to 100 KIAS then set climb power to 90% load. • Set taxi and landing Light OFF. For airports with close obstacles, maintain VX-VY 79 KIAS and 100% load until clear of obstacles.

Perform the AFTER TAKEOFF CHECKLIST

There is only one SOP climb speed, 100 KIAS. This speed may be increased for operational reason, provided a minimum of 500 FPM is maintained. XOne Engine OutX climb speed is VYSE 82 KIAS. When passing Transition Altitude, set Standard (1013 hPa), call “Transition Altitude, 1013 set, passing FL___”.

15. Cruise

DA42 SOP Cruise setting 70%

4000 ft ISA - 140 KTAS/132 KIAS - 10,4 GPH 6000 ft ISA - 143 KTAS/131 KIAS - 10,4 GPH 8000 ft ISA - 145 KTAS/129 KIAS - 10,4 GPH

XOne Engine OutX cruise speed is X-bug 100 KIAS.

16. Use of Autopilot Autopilot may be used at pilot discretion. If used, a thorough knowledge of AFM A13 supplement is mandatory, with special attention to autopilot limitations. Close monitoring of autopilot performance is paramount. All autopilot mode changes (manual or automatic) shall be announced. Example : “Altitude ARM” if the mode is amed, “Heading” if the mode is active.


© BFS

17. Descent and Approach 17.1 Descent and Approach preparation Approach preparation should be performed during cruise phase (level flight). Copy ATIS and begin cockpit set up 20 NM before top of descent if possible. The sequence is ATIS – SETUP – BRIEFING – CHECKLIST. Speed during approach are :

- VPROC (Procedure) 120 KIAS (Y-bug). At and beyond IAF + holding (Flaps UP)

- VTRANS (Transition) 110 KIAS. When on intercept heading (Flaps APP)

- VAPP (Approach) 100 KIAS (X-bug). Final descent (Gear Down, Flaps APP)

- VFINAL (Final) 82 KIAS. On short final when visual (Gear Down, Flaps APP) - XOne Engine OutX : VPROC = VTRANS = VAPP 100 KIAS (X-bug).

IFR Aircraft Approach Category consideration

The DA42 is CAT A for Approaches Category and is therefore restricted to 110 kts for Reversal and Racetrack Procedures and 100 kts for Final Approach. However, to accommodate with faster jet aircraft operating at EBCI and at other airports, VPROC 120 kts is the speed to use during IFR approaches procedures per SOP. Therefore, Cat B Approach Category speeds/altitudes are to be used.

Altimeter bug : - Bug on minimums (Or minimums + 30 ft for CDFA)

IFR CDFA

All NPA should be flown using Continuous Descent Final Approach (CDFA) technique. CDFA charts show Decision Altitude (DA) instead of Minimum Descent Altitude (MDA). Descent below CDFA DA during Missed Approach Procedure without adequate visual reference is not allowed. Jeppesen DOES NOT include an add-on when publishing DA for CDFA. BFS SOP is to increase CDFA DA by 30 ft (Aircraft Approach Category B).


© BFS

Apply temperature correction if required; all altitude below MSA must be increased when the ambient temperature on the surface is much lower than that predicted by the standard atmosphere. (No correction is needed for ground temperature above 0°C). An approximate correction is 4% height increase for every 10°C below standard temperature. If ground temperature is below -15°C, refer to correction tables or use a computer. Briefing will be completed by pilot flying and will follow this guideline;

Guideline

• Weather, Notams, Fuel, Aircraft Status • Landing configuration, landing speeds • Arrival and appr. procedure (STAR and Nav set-up if IFR), including altitudes • Missed approach procedure (IFR) • Taxi routing • Specials (threat and errors)

IFR

Jeppesen approach plates incorporate the Briefing Strips TM. After a missed approach, brief only the Briefing Strip if performing again the same approach. During approach plate reading, indicate NAV/COM/Bugs settings.

17.2 Descent and Approach procedure Plan a descent at 500 ft/min from top of descent. Maintain cruise speed for descent: with GS ≈ 150 kts (2,5 NM/min), a 500 ft/min descent equals 1000ft/5NM (Dist = ALT x GS/30). When cleared to an altitude (below Transition Level), set QNH and call “QNH ___ set, passing ___ ft,”.

Perform the DESCENT APPROACH CHECKLIST


© BFS

XXXXXXX For flights profiles, refer to Annex 1 at the end of this book. XXXXXXX

There is a great risk to inadvertently change Altimeter Setting when changing the CDI course. Pay special attention to this and always review QNH when changing the CDI course for final approach.

Perform the LANDING CHECKLIST

• When cleared to land, set Landing Light ON.

IFR Approach Call Out

• ILS approach : - When Localizer is alive, call “Localizer alive” - When Glide Slope is alive, call “Glide Slope alive” - When passing OM, call “Outer Marker, ___ ft” : read altitude on altimeter, compare with chart. OM may be substituted by a DME distance. • VOR approach : - When CDI alive, call “Radial alive” When approaching altimeter bug (100’ above minimums), call - “Approaching Minimums” At altimeter bug (minimums), call either - “Minimums, Continue” if adequate visual references established Or - “Minimums, Go Around, Flaps UP” if adequate visual refs NOT established Note : NPA are flown using CDFA technique: it should be emphasized that upon reaching minimas (published DA + 30ft), only two options exist : continue the descent to land with the required visual references or execute a missed approach. There is no level flight segment.


© BFS

Stabilised Approach Criteria

An approach is considered stabilised when all of the following criteria are met: • The aircraft is on the correct flight path, with only small changes in heading

and pitch to maintain the path (1/2 scale deviation on LOC/GS or VOR) • Speed is VAPP 100 KIAS (-5, +10 kts) • Aircraft is in landing configuration, landing checklist completed • Sink rate is not greater than 1000 fpm An approach that is unstabilised below 1000 ft AGL in IMC or 500 ft AGL in VMC (300 ft AFE + wings level in Circling approach) requires an immediate go-around. If 4 red lights are seen on PAPI, correct path immediately. Seriously consider to perform a Go Around.

In case of missed approach / go-around (with Flaps APP selected) : Simultaneously • Call “Go around, Flaps Up”. • Rotate pitch up. • Set MAX power. • Select Flaps UP. When positive rate is seen on VSI and altimeter: • Call “Positive rate, Gear Up”. Select Gear Up. • Maintain VAPP 100 KIAS. When passing 400 ft AGL : • Set climb power to 90%. • Set landing Light OFF. In case of missed approach / go-around (with Flaps LDG selected) : Simultaneously • Call “Go around, Flaps APP”. • Rotate pitch up. • Set MAX power. • Select Flaps APP.


© BFS

When positive rate is seen on VSI and altimeter: • Call “Positive rate, Gear Up”. Select Gear Up. • Select Flaps UP. • Maintain 100 KIAS. When passing 400 ft AGL : • Set climb power to 90%. • Set landing Light OFF. XOne Engine OutX missed approach / go-around : Simultaneously • Call “Go around, Gear Up (*), Flaps Up”. • Rotate pitch up. • Set MAX power. • Select Gear UP then select Flaps UP. • Maintain VBL 82 KIAS. (*) With one engine inoperative, the gear must be retracted immediately in case of missed approach. A positive rate of climb is otherwise impossible. This is different from the normal missed approach were a positive rate of climb must be seen before selecting gear up.

Perform the AFTER TAKEOFF CHECKLIST

18. Landing

Normal landings: Flaps APP, VFINAL 82 KIAS (= Blue Line) Short field landings: Flaps LDG, VFINAL 77 KIAS (= Blue Line – 5 kts) Flaps UP landing: Flaps UP VFINAL 87 KIAS (= Blue Line + 5 kts)

The above speeds are computed as follow : VStall x 1,3 + 5 kts wind correction. Wind correction computation (in case of strong wind, windshear or turbulence) : one half of the steady headwind plus the full gust, min 5 kts, max 20 kts.


© BFS

For IFR flights, when visual with the landing runway, decrease speed from VAPP 100 KIAS to VFINAL 82 KIAS. Stay on Glide Slope / PAPI until flare and aim to touchdown 1000 ft down the runway (touchdown zone). Verify feet position on rudder pedals to avoid braking inadvertently on touchdown (heels on ground, toes on pedals).

19. After Landing When runway is vacated, stop aircraft and; • Start chrono, engines must be operated 2 minutes at idle before shut down. • Set Pitot Heat OFF. • Set Landing Light OFF, Taxi light ON. • Select Flaps UP.

Park the aircraft facing into the wind.

Perform the SHUTDOWN CHECKLIST

Note in aircraft logbook the GAL REM as indicated on the G1000.

Example : GAL REM 58,4 USG.

Place chocks on the left main gear. Verify that reading light above pilot seats is OFF (Hot Battery bus).

20. Failure Management, Decision Making Tasks prioritization:

1) AVIATE a. Body Attitude relevant for phase of flight (*). b. Wings level (unless turn is essential for obstacle clearance) (*). c. Power setting relevant for phase of flight. d. Speed.

2) NAVIGATE Make sure the path (horizontal and vertical) is safe.

3) COMMUNICATE Coordinate actions with ATC (PAN, MAYDAY if required).

Failure Management:

1) IDENTIFY the failure. Make a throughout analysis of the symptoms, make a correct diagnostic and do not jump on conclusion (Ex; an electrical failure may cause many warnings, do not mix root cause problem and consequential failures).

2) CORRECT the situation.

Use appropriate checklist/procedure, try one (1!) reset of a tripped Circuit Breaker if essential for safety.

3) DECIDE.

Decide on the most appropriate course of action. Use good CRM, seek assistance in your decision (second pilot, ATC…) Consider urgency, weather, fuel, etc. Continue your actual navigation, maintain heading and climb to MSA, divert, ask vectors etc.

4) INFORM.

Keep everybody informed of your intentions. (*) In case of engine failure after TakeOff, “HDG-Blue Line” is the priority. Body attitude is determined by speed, wings must be “level” (5° bank toward good engine) when correct heading is followed.
