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.

1.3 Amendment, revision and distribution

a. Procedure for Amendment

Training Manager and quality assurance are responsible for the control of contents of

the PATC standard operation procedure Manual and also responsible for the issuance

of individual volumes and for ensuring that appropriate amendments are dispatched to

the holders of volumes. This task may obviously be delegated to another person or

unit to do and reporting to the executive.

Amendments, revisions and additions to the manual must be prepared by the

executive responsible for the manual and shall be approved by IRI-CAO.

Amendments to the standard operation procedure Manual must be produced as new

or replacement pages. Hand written amendments are generally not acceptable.

Accident. An occurrence associated with the operation of an aircraft which takes place

between the time any person boards the aircraft with the intention of flight until such time as

all such persons have disembarked, in which:

a) a person is fatally or seriously injured as a result of:

— being in the aircraft, or

— direct contact with any part of the aircraft, including parts which have become

detached from the aircraft, or

— direct exposure to jet blast,

except when the injuries are from natural causes, self inflicted or inflicted by other persons,

or when the injuries are to stowaways hiding outside the areas normally available to the

passengers and crew; or

b) the aircraft sustains damage or structural failure which:

— adversely affects the structural strength, performance or flight characteristics of the

aircraft, and

— would normally require major repair or replacement of the affected component,

except for engine failure or damage, when the damage is limited to the engine, its cowlings

or accessories; or for damage limited to propellers, wing tips, antennas, tires, brakes,

fairings, small dents or puncture holes in the aircraft skin; or

c) the aircraft is missing or is completely inaccessible.

Note 1.— For statistical uniformity only, an injury resulting in death within thirty days of

the date of the accident is classified as a fatal injury by ICAO.

Note 2.— An aircraft is considered to be missing when the official search has been

terminated and the wreckage has not been located.

Acrobatic flight. Maneuvers intentionally performed by an aircraft involving an abrupt change

in its attitude, an abnormal attitude, or an abnormal variation in speed.

Aerodrome. A defined area on land or water (including any buildings, installations and

equipment) intended to be used either wholly or in part for the arrival, departure and surface

movement of aircraft.

Aerodrome control service. Air traffic control service for aerodrome traffic.

aerodrome for the protection of aerodrome traffic.

Aeronautical Information Publication (AIP). A publication issued by or with the authority

of a State and containing aeronautical information of a lasting character essential to air

navigation.

Aeroplane. A power-driven heavier-than-air aircraft, deriving its lift in flight chiefly from

aerodynamic reactions on surfaces which remain fixed under given conditions of flight.

normal, abnormal and emergency procedures, checklists, limitations, performance

information, details of the aircraft systems and other material relevant to the operation of the

aircraft.

Airman ship The consistent use of good judgments and well-developed knowledge, skills and

attitudes to accomplish flight objectives.

operation are specified.

Note.— ATS airspaces are classified as Class A to G.

Air traffic services reporting office. A unit established for the purpose of receiving reports

concerning air traffic services and flight plans submitted before departure.

Note.— An air traffic services reporting office may be established as a separate unit

or combined with an existing unit, such as another air traffic services unit, or a unit of the

aeronautical information service.

Air traffic services unit. A generic term meaning variously, air traffic control unit, flight

information centre or air traffic services reporting office..

Alternate aerodrome. An aerodrome to which an aircraft may proceed when it becomes

either impossible or inadvisable to proceed to or to land at the aerodrome of intended landing

Altitude. The vertical distance of a level, a point or an object considered as a point, measured

from mean sea level (MSL).

Approach control service. Air traffic control service for arriving or departing controlled

flights

While corrective actions prevent recurrence, preventive actions prevent occurrence. Both types
