2. Introduction

The Transport Canada Flight Technical and Operator Certification (FTOC) section within the Civil Aviation Standards Branch is responsible for the TCCA Operational Evaluation (OE) program. FTOC’s objectives during the operational evaluation of a new or modified aircraft are to determine:

  1. The acceptability of a manufacturers training program for use by Canadian operators;
  2. Pilot qualification and type rating requirements including training, checking, and currency requirements, and;
  3. The operational suitability of an aircraft type.

This report lists those determinations for use by:

  1. TCCA Inspectors who approve training programs;
  2. TCCA inspectors and Approved Check Pilots (ACPs) who conduct Pilot Proficiency Checks (PPCs) and issue Type Ratings; and
  3. Aircraft operators and training providers, to assist them in developing their flight-crew member training, checking and currency programs.

Determinations made in this report are based on the evaluations of specific Boeing 787 series made in accordance with current regulations, standards and guidance. Modifications and upgrades made to the series described herein, or introduction of new related aircraft, may require amendment of the findings in this report.

4. General

4.1 Scope of Report

This OE report applies to all series of the Boeing 787. The contents of this report are harmonized with the FAA and EASA to the maximum extent possible.

NOTE:

This report uses the term B-787 when referring to the Boeing 787 in general and the terms B-787-8, B-787-9 and B-787-10 when referring to specific master series of the B-787.

4.2 Guidance Material

The TCCA OE evaluations were conducted in accordance with FAA Advisory Circular (AC) 120-53(B), Guidance for Conducting and Use of Flight Standardization Board (FSB) Evaluations, and the JAA/FAA/TCCA Common Procedures Document for Operational Evaluation Boards (CPD).

4.3 OE Report Effectiveness

Provisions of this report are effective until amended, superseded, or withdrawn by subsequent OE findings.

TCCA reserves the responsibility and authority to re-evaluate and modify sections of this report based on new or revised advisory material, amended CARs, aircraft operating experience, or the evaluation of new or modified aircraft under the provisions of the CPD or FAA AC 120-53B.

4.4 Application of OE Report

All relevant parts of this report are applicable on the effective date of this report.

4.5 Alternate Means of Compliance

The OEB Chairman, the Program Manager of FTOC and/or the Program Manager Large Aircraft Standards should be consulted when alternate means of compliance, other than those specified in this report, are proposed. An applicant will be required to submit a proposed alternate means that provides an equivalent level of safety to the provisions of the CARs and this OE report. Analysis, demonstrations, proof of concept testing, differences documentation, and/or other substantiation may be required.

In the event that alternate compliance is sought, training program credits, simulator approvals, and device approvals may be significantly limited and reporting requirements may be increased to ensure equivalent levels of training, checking, and currency are maintained. TCCA will generally not consider relief through alternate compliance means unless sufficient lead-time has been planned by an operator to allow for any necessary testing and evaluation.

4.6 AQP/OEB Report Relationship

Where an air operator has an approved Advanced Qualification Program (AQP), differences between this report and an operator’s proposed training, checking, and currency requirements under an AQP should be substantiated and documented as part of the operator’s AQP approval process. Program approvals under AQP need to ensure the provisions and requirements of this report have been addressed, and where necessary, coordination with the OEB has been completed.

4.7 B-787-8 Initial Type Training, STAR and B-777 Differences Evaluations

TCCA conducted an operational evaluation of Boeing’s B787-8 jointly with the FAA, and EASA in Seattle Washington from May to July 2010. TCCA evaluated specific courses of Boeing’s B-787 training program, identified in the B-787 Pilot Qualification Plan (PQP) as follows:

4.7.1 Course A – 20 day Full Transition initial type rating training course for the B-787 through a T5 evaluation process.

4.7.2 Course B – 13 day Shortened Transition and Rating (STAR) reduced pilot type training for pilots qualified Boeing “glass cockpit” aeroplanes to transition to the B-787. This evaluation specifically assessed differences from the B-767 to the B-787. Level E/E master training and checking differences where established.

NOTE:

Boeing “glass cockpit” aeroplanes are Boeing aircraft equipped with EFIS/PFD-ND and FMS and having commonality with the B-787 in terms of cockpit layout, system operation, and handling characteristics. The B-737NG, B-747-400, B-757, and B-767 are identified as Boeing “glass cockpit” aeroplanes.

4.7.3 Course C - 5 day differences training from the B-777 to the B-787 using a T2/T3 evaluation process. Level D/D master training and checking differences where established.

NOTE:

The baseline aeroplanes used for this comparison were an All Nippon Airways (ANA) B-777-381ER and the ANA B-787-881.

The three courses were found to be acceptable by TCCA for use as the basis of an air operator’s training program.

4.8 Differences from B-787 to B-777

In February 2012, in Seattle Washington, TCCA conducted an operational evaluation of differences training for pilots qualified on the B-787 to become qualified on the B-777. This training was designated as Course E by Boeing and specifically compared differences between the B-787-8 and B-777-300ER. Level D/D master training and checking differences where established.

4.8 Operational Evaluation of B787-9

In March 2014 in Seattle Washington, TCCA participated jointly with the FAA and EASA to evaluate differences between the B-787-8 and B787-9 using a T1 evaluation process. Level A/A master training and checking differences where established. Boeing has designated the differences training in the form of a handout as Boeing Course D.

4.9 Operational Evaluation of B787-10

In December 2017 in Charleston South Carolina, TCCA participated jointly with the FAA and EASA to evaluate differences between the B-787-8, B-787-9 and B787-10 using a T1 evaluation process. Level A/A master training and checking differences where established. Boeing has expanded the scope of Boeing Course D to include the B-787-10.

10.7.1 Alternating PPC for B-777 and B-787

For Mixed Fleet Flying (MFF) between the B-777 and B-787 aircraft, PPCs should alternate for pilots in command (PICs) and other flight crewmembers. The preflight and equipment examination portion of initial and recurrent proficiency checks should address each aircraft operated by the flight crewmember in MFF.

11. Pilot Currency

There are no additional currency requirements for the B-787 other than those already specified in CAR 705.

11.1 Differences Currency between Related Aircraft

There are no differences currency requirements between the B-787-8 and B-787-9.

There are no differences currency requirements for CAR 705 MFF of the B-787 aircraft and B-777 aircraft. Takeoff and landing credit may be permitted between B-787 and B-777 variations. Takeoffs and landings performed in one aircraft variation are equivalent to those performed in the other aircraft variation.

12. Operational Suitability

The B-787 series aircraft is operationally suitable for operations under CAR 705.

13. Miscellaneous

13.1 Forward Observer Seat

The B-787 center forward and right forward observer seats as installed by FAA Type Certificate TC T00021SE have been evaluated by the FAA and determined to meet requirements of FAR 121.581(a), FAR 125.317(b), FAR 135.75(b) and Advisory Circular (AC) 120-83. The forward center jumpseat is identified as the primary forward observer seat. TCCA has accepted the findings of the FAA in the absence of any TCCA regulatory criteria regarding a forward observer seat.

13.2 Landing Minima Categories

The B-787-8, B-787-9 and B-787-10 is considered Category C aircraft for the purposes of determining "straight-in landing weather minima.”

13.3 Normal Landing Flaps
