v) Performance Planning, including temperature, obstacles and wind
consideration;
vi) Dispatcher Briefing, dual Responsibility and Flight-Following;
vii) Dispatch Release, Load Manifest and Airworthiness Release and its
procedure of information to Flight Dispatch.
viii) Planned Re-release and Inability to Proceed as Released;
ix) Aerodrome Operating Minima and Minimum En Route Altitudes;
x) NOTAMs, fuel and oil supplies, and engine out performance
considerations;
xi) Emergency procedures, voice communications and reports;
xii) Dispatchers Qualification and Knowledge of Aircraft and Flight Planning.
3.6.8 Flight Data Monitoring / Analysis
Availability of Integrated software solutions for comprehensive measurement, analysis,
and reporting tools that can benefit all types of aircraft operators shall be assessed. This
program should initially decode the recorded data collected from an aircraft DFDR / QAR
into engineering values and thereafter, should enable an easy reconstruction of the flight
for comparison of recorded data with the recommended values retrieved from the flight
profile, and consequently it should highlight abnormal events and deviations. Following
processes, procedures and capabilities shall also be assessed during the audit:
a) Identification of operational risk and quantification of safety margins;
b) Use of the FDM information on the frequency of occurrence, combined with an
estimation of the level of severity, to assess the risks and to determine
unacceptability if the discovered trend continues;
c) Trend towards unacceptable risk prior to it reaching risk levels that would
indicate the SMS process has failed;
d) Risk mitigation techniques to provide remedial action once an unacceptable risk,
either actually present or predicted by trends;
e) Remedial actions and their effectiveness by continued monitoring.
3.6.9 Safety Management System
a) Safety Policy with visible endorsement
b) SMS organizational structure and responsibilities
c) MS implementation plan and progress on the that plan
d) Coordination and Emergency plan
e) Documentation
f) Safety Risk Assessment
g) Safety Assurances
h) Safety promotion
i) Quality Policy
3.6.10 Load Control
a) The operator is responsible for establishing an approved system of load control.
Load control method is evaluated for knowing reasonably accurate aircraft
weight at the flight planning stage for comparison with performance chart to
determine limiting conditions.
b) The responsibility of the aircraft weight and balance calculation using the
approved system may be shared both by the flight crew and the load control staff
but it is more usual to employ a separate load control.
c) If a separate load control facility is used, a means of communication between the
flight planning facility and the load controller is require so that zero fuel weight
can be passed to the flight planner and fuel loads transmitted to load control.
The personnel employed in load control facility will have to be competent and
approved for the purpose.
d) It is essential that the load be placed aboard the aircraft in the manner assumed
by the load control calculations. Close liaison between load control and the
loading staff will be necessary to achieve this.
