Aer Lingus (FLT Ops) Flight Ops Engineering Procedures Inspection

Spot check airport data e.g. TORA, LDA, Emergency Turn etc stored in K\VOL165\DATA\FLT ops\ADMIN\performance\Airport_Analysis\Active versus AIP(source doc)??.?

How can we inspect if a current Notam has been considered in performance calculation. What is its path from airport authority to FLT ops engineering department.

Have permanent AIP issued by national country been updated in airport database/source document.

Are revisions to database been incorporated correctly before their effective date?

Is AIP checklist on K drive up to date with country's AIP? K\VOL165\DATA\FLT ops\ADMIN\performance\Airport_Analysis\AIRAC\ AipChecklist

Have both RUNWAY details and OBSTACLE details been updated with NOTAM/AIP latest Revision.

Pick a destination airport. Does the AIP Checklist on the "K" drive take account of all revised pages when compared to AIP?

As Emergency Turns do not use a standard cone for performance calculations, was this taken account of when considering if obstacle changed r/w figures .

If airport has intersecting runways, were all departing runways considered when assessing the affect the obstacle would have?

flightops.net must not be used for obstacle calculations involving departures with Emergency turns? Were there any instances where this occurred?

Was ops supports informed of the results of the Notam analysis by email? Reasons for decision should be given.

Was the NOTAM start-end time inputted accurately into 'Master Airport'?

Have these NOTAM changes transferred into ALPS from 'Master Airports'????

Have all NOTAMs that have been added to the database appear in ALPS?

In cases where NOTAM announced two changes, ensure the shortening of runway is applied before obstacle?

Has measuring of obstacle been performed correctly? As per manual?

Is each " marked up" type a chart same as current chart? <br>Was scale used to measure correct<br>Have ALL Relevant obstacles been measured? <br>Have all obstacle details been transcribed correctly?

Pick random airport: <br>Is current AIP airport data same as that stored in excel file? <br> The 'marked up' Type A chart: <br> -was the scale used correct<br> -have relevant obstacles been measured<br> - have all obstacle details been transcribed correctly to the Excel file<br><br>

Is the fuel burn data obtained from 'cruise report' processed bi-monthly?

Once new cruise fuel burn has been calculated, is this information emailed to ops support?

For CAT III missed approach climb gradient, are gradients calculated by FLT ops engineering published on tailored LIDO plate?

Calculated CAT III MAP climb gradients: Are they equal to or greater than the CAT III approach for same runway?

Escape Routes: Do ops support add extra fuel requirement to FPL, in the event, God forbid, aircraft must use escape route?

Have instance occurred where FOE have not been aware of aircraft weighing, and therefore did not carry out appropriate checklist. 9.5

Was a weighing comparison completed between 'weighing checklist' and 'weighing report' to details are same<br>- reg<br>-date, may be difference of one day due overnight weighing.<br>-pitch attitude<br>- a/c type<br>-Calibration due date<br>- all calculations<br>- are all pages signed and stamped<br>- all sections complete<br>

Significant Added/subtracted items taken account of on weighing checklists . E.g +undrained fuel, catering equipment. - unusable fuel, ships library.

Was APS(aircraft prepared for service) checked by a second person?

Is correct (type specific) load and trim sheet contained in diversion envelope?

If applicable, was newly developed Load and Trim sheet independently checked by a second person?

Where an EFB failed to sync, was this investigated using steps in FOEPM 10.4?

Preparation of an EFB for aircraft-were procedures followed APP 4.2?
