foreword This Flight Crew Training Manual is an essential tool to learn the ATR standard operating procedures. It has been conceived as the standard baseline for all ATR flight crew training. To facilitate the learning process, procedures are presented in a pedagogical and userfriendly way, with, when necessary, a visualization of cockpit flows and schematics of flight patterns. This manual is a comprehensive document that efficiently complements FCOM procedures. It is divided into two volumes: Normal Procedures and Emergency & Abnormal Procedures. In the Normal Procedures manual, procedures are presented with detailed task sharing and include standard call outs. Additional procedures relating to specific operations and to equipments uses are part of this manual. In the Emergency & Abnormal Procedures manual, the general management of abnormal situations is explained. Then, a detailed presentation of the procedures to apply per specific situation is made. This latest revision encompasses all the changes agreed in 2008 during a comprehensive review of the ATR operational documentation (AFM, FCOM & QRH). NB: Should you find any discrepancy in the emergency procedures between the FCTM and the AFM, please follow the AFM procedures. The Training and Flight Operations support team.

INTRODUCTION 01.01 Page 1 01 1. Task sharing The organization of general task sharing follows the principles stated below. The pilot actually flying keeps his role throughout the emergency procedure. Radio communications can be transferred from PNF to PF while performing Emer/Abnorm Checklist. Cockpit organization Captain CM1 Left seat First Officer CM2 Right seat Task Decision making Captain Pilot in charge ALL ATR CM1 & CM2 take turns for PF & PNF. Tasks PNF Pilot in charge PF Flying/aircraft config Navigate Mechanical / Checklists Communicate During Emer/Abnorm C/L, PF is in charge of communication
INTRODUCTION 01.01 Page 2 01 1.1. In-flight engine management PF manages power levers or asks for setting, when necessary. PNF manages condition levers. 1.2. Priorities management Task sharing, whoever is in charge of a function, follows a strict priority of application: Fly the aircraft Navigate the aircraft Understand the problem before acting Assess risk and time pressure Match response strategy to simulation requirements Plan for contingencies Consider implications before decision Manage workload Create shared problem model by communications ALL ATR 1.3. Flight path management Captain may decide to change Pilot Flying, (in case of TCAS procedure for instance) and announce "I HAVE CONTROL" or "YOU HAVE CONTROL". PF may decide to transfer flight controls to PNF in certain circumstances (elevator control jammed for instance), in that case PF will announce "YOU HAVE CONTROL" and check control transfer. PNF will announce "I HAVE CONTROL". 1.4. Task sharing policy On ground Captain is PF for any action, except engine start which is performed by CM2. In flight Following emergency or abnormal events, PF assesses the situation and then suggest a decision, validated by Captain.
INTRODUCTION 01.02 Page 1 01 2. Cockpit philosophy To achieve aircraft systems monitoring, the information of any failure or abnormal / emergency situation has to be clearly notified to the crew.to reach this goal, ATR's philosophy is based on two main principles: 2.1. Dark cockpit philosophy In normal operation, all lights, except blue or green lights for transient phases, are extinguished. No light = normal operation Remember lights philosophy: Dark (no light) normal operation Amber caution Red emergency White System is OFF Blue status (switched temporary ON by crew) Green backup (switched temporary ON by system) 2.2. Detection sequence In case of system failure, information is provided to the crew: ALL ATR 1 - CREW INFORMATION + CRC (Continuous repetitive chime) 2 - SYSTEM IDENTIFICATION or CAP + SC (Single chime) PNF CALL "MASTER WARNING / CAUTION" PNF CALL "XXX (system) ON CAP" 3 - ISOLATION LOCAL ALERT FAULT PNF CALL "XXX (system) FAULT"
INTRODUCTION 01.03 Page 1 01 3. Emergency and abnormal situations 3.1. Emergency situation définition ICAO definition: "A condition of being threatened by serious and/or imminent danger and of requiring immediate assistance." Such a situation is encountered when aircraft safety is directly concerned. It includes emergency manoeuvers, fires, smokes, and needs immediate assistance. It's generally triggered by Master Warning + Continuous Repetitive Chime + red light on CAP, and refer to an emergency C/L (red). Example: Engine fire, smoke 3.2. Abnormal situation definition ICAO definition: "A condition concerning the safety of an aircraft or other vehicle, or of some person on board or within sight, but which does not require immediate assistance." ALL ATR Such a situation is encountered when aircraft safety is not directly concerned. It includes system failures or unusual events. It's generally triggered by Master Caution + Single Chime + amber light on CAP, and refer to Following failure C/L (amber). PF may delay crew actions or C/L, if necessary. Example: Engine flame out. 3.3. Standard communication Distress (Emergency) message (a) MAYDAY; MAYDAY; MAYDAY; Urgency (Abnormal) message (a) PAN PAN; PAN PAN; PAN PAN; (b) Name of the station addressed (when appropriate and time and circumstances permitting); (c) Callsign; (d) Type of aircraft; (e) Nature of the emergency (f) Intention of the person-in-command;
