1.1 Preamble relating to use and authority of the manual
We pride ourselves in providing the highest quality pilot training available. We have created our
own syllabi for all certificates and ratings from our personal experiences and knowledge. Our
structured and professional approach allows you to earn your pilot certificate or rating in the most
time efficient and cost effective manner with the quality you expect from a Professional Flight
School.
Parsis Aviation Training Center is not your typical Pilot Mill flight school. We cater to those who are
serious about their Pilot Training and want Professional Flight Instruction.
Under the provisions of ICAO and CAO .IRI, it is the responsibility of the Aviation Training
Organization to develop a training program in order to enhance safety and standardization.
This Manual which is provided by PARSIS AVIATION TRAINING CENTER (PATC) ,when is
implemented ,fulfills the requirements of a standardization of operating procedures.
The standard operation procedure Manual lists curricula for the various categories of operational
tasks and duty positions.
Purpose of manual
The primary purpose of SOP is to identify and describe the standard tasks and duties
(considering the who – does – what – and – when and, standard call outs) in each phase of flight,
to promote the safety and to achieve consistently safe flight operations through adherence to
SOPs.
This SOP has been written for all Students, Flight Instructors and Employees. The purpose of the
SOP is to describe specific PATC operating policies and procedures relating to the Students
during their training and employees. It is very important that everyone read and understand this
Manual.
Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) are universally recognized as basic, to safe aviation
operations. Effective crew coordination and crew performance, two central concepts of crew
resource management (CRM), depend upon the crew’s having a shared mental model of each
task. That mental model, in turn, is founded on SOPs.
In another word, CRM is not effective without adherence to the SOPs.

All items are listed in a sequence following a standardized scan of the cockpit panels, except
when required by the logic of actions priority, to ensure that all actions are performed in the most
efficient way.
All SOPs are subject to updating based on operational experience from the manufacturer and all
operators. (A safety culture is promoting continuous feedback from the flight crew)
Updating of the SOP may be communicated by Temporary Revisions as ―pilot information folder"
(PIF) if fast dispatch is required or otherwise at the time of the next POH revision.

Incident. An occurrence, other than an accident, associated with the operation of an
aircraft which affects or could affect the safety of operation
Note.— The types of incidents which are of main interest to the International Civil Aviation
Organization for accident prevention studies are listed in the Accident/Incident Reporting
Manual (Doc 9156).
Inspection. An independent documented conformity evaluation by observation and judgement
accompanied as appropriate by measurement, testing or gauging, in order to verify compliance
with applicable requirements.

Movement area. That part of an aerodrome to be used for the take-off, landing and taxiing of
aircraft, consisting of the maneuvering area and the apron(s).
Night. The hours between the end of evening civil twilight and the beginning of morning civil
twilight or such other period between sunset and sunrise, as may be prescribed by the
appropriate authority.
Note: Civil twilight ends in the evening when the centre of the sun’s disc is 6 degrees below
the horizon and begins in the morning when the centre of the sun’s disc is 6 degrees below
the horizon.
Observation. An observation indicates that a situation has been discovered during an audit
warranting clarification or further investigation in order to improve the overall status and
effectiveness of the ATO. Observations do not involve situations where there is direct
evidence indicating nonconformance. Observations may signal the potential for a future
nonconformit
Off block. Is the time that the aircraft first moves under its own power for the purpose of
taking off.
On block. Is the time, after landing, when the aircraft comes to rest at the end of the flight.
Operational flight plan. The operator’s plan for the safe conduct of the flight based on
considerations of airplane performance, other operating limitations and relevant expected
conditions on the route to be followed and at the aerodromes concerned.
Pilot-in-command. The pilot designated by the operator, or in the case of general aviation,
the owner, as being in command and charged with the safe conduct of a flight.
Pressure-altitude. An atmospheric pressure expressed in terms of altitude which corresponds
to that pressure in the Standard Atmosphere.
Preventive action. Preventive actions are steps that are taken to remove the causes of
potential nonconformities or potential situations that are undesirable. The preventive action
process is designed to prevent the occurrence of nonconformities or situations that do not yet
exist. It tries to prevent occurrence by eliminating causes.
While corrective actions prevent recurrence, preventive actions prevent occurrence. Both types
of actions are intended to prevent nonconformities.
Preventive actions address potential problems, ones that haven't yet occurred. In general, the
preventive action process can be thought of as a risk analysis process.
Prohibited area. An airspace of defined dimensions, above the land areas or territorial waters
of a State, within which the flight of aircraft is prohibited.

Psychoactive substances. Alcohol, opioids, cannabinoids, sedatives and hypnotics, cocaine,
other psycho stimulants, hallucinogens, and volatile solvents, whereas coffee and tobacco are
excluded.
Radiotelephony. A form of radio communication primarily intended for the exchange of
information in the form of speech.
Rest period. A continuous and defined period of time, subsequent to and/or prior to duty,
during which flight or cabin crew members are free of all duties
Restricted area. An airspace of defined dimensions, above the land areas or territorial waters
of a State, within which the flight of aircraft is restricted in accordance with certain specified
conditions.
Runway. A defined rectangular area on a land aerodrome prepared for the landing and take-
off of aircraft.
Runway-holding position. A designated position intended to protect a runway, an obstacle
limitation surface, or an ILS/ MLS critical/sensitive area at which taxiing aircraft and vehicles
shall stop and hold, unless otherwise authorized by the aerodrome control tower.
Note.— In radiotelephony phraseologies, the expression ―holding point‖ is used to designate
the runway-holding position.
Safe forced landing. Unavoidable landing or ditching with a reasonable expectancy of no
injuries to persons in the aircraft or on the surface.
Safety management system. A systematic approach to managing safety, including the
necessary organizational structures, accountabilities, policies and procedures.
Safety program. An integrated set of regulations and activities aimed at improving safety.
Solo flight time. Flight time during which a student pilot is the sole occupant of an aircraft.
Special VFR flight. A VFR flight cleared by air traffic control to operate within a control zone
in meteorological visibility below 5000 meters but not less than 2000 meters.
Stand by. A period of time in which a crewmember has not been assigned to any duty but
is required to be in contact to receive an assignment for duty. Standby is neither duty, nor time
free of duty.
State of Registry. The State on whose register the aircraft is entered.
Suitable resting accommodation. A comfortable resting area not open to public, which is
environmentally conductive to rest, which contains a comfortable chair and at which the flight

crew member has access to sustenance at times appropriate to the flight duty
requirements.
Taxiing. Movement of an aircraft on the surface of an aerodrome under its own power,
excluding take-off and landing.
Taxiway. A defined path on a land aerodrome established for the taxiing of aircraft and

arrive over the destination aerodrome.
Track. The projection on the earth’s surface of the path of an aircraft, the direction of which
path at any point is usually expressed in degrees from North (true, magnetic or grid).
Traffic avoidance advice. Advice provided by an air traffic services unit specifying
maneuvers to assist a pilot to avoid a collision.
Traffic information. Information issued by an air traffic services unit to alert a pilot to
other known or observed air traffic which may be in proximity to the position or intended route
of flight and to help the pilot avoid a collision.
