4  BACKGROUND

Transport Canada (TCCA) Type Certificate Data Sheet (TCDS) A-249 includes the Dassault Falcon 2000EXEASy and Falcon 2000LX models as versions of the Falcon 2000EX.  Both are referred to as commercial designations of the Falcon 2000EX with various modifications incorporated.

The Falcon 20000EX EASy is a Falcon 2000EX with modifications to provide new concept avionics called the EASy Step configuration or simply EASy.  The EASy concept has been certified in three Steps on the Falcon 2000EX EASy: Step 1, Step 2, and Step 3.  Each EASy Step has upgraded and improved the avionics. All Falcon 2000EX EASy have been retrofitted into Step 3.  There are no more Falcon 2000EX EASy aeroplanes with Step 1 or Step 2. 

The model Falcon 2000DX is a commercial designation of the Falcon 2000EX airplanes on which the modification number M3000 (fuel tank reduction) and M3001 (fuel quantity management computer adaptation) have been applied. The Falcon Falcon 2000DX and 2000EX EASy have the same EASy avionics systems.  The Falcon 2000DX has been certified directly with EASy Step 3.  The Falcon 2000DX is not identified on TCDS A-249.

The Model Falcon 2000LX is a Falcon Model 2000EX EASy with winglets added to increase range capability (range 4,000 Nm, with a Maximum Ramp Weight of 42,400 lb).

The F2THE (Falcon 2000EX EASy, Falcon 2000DX and Falcon 2000LX) have a different type rating than previous Falcon 2000 models, considering the entirely  new avionics  concept.   Dassault Aviation has not yet considered any cross-qualification (or pilot training commonality) from other existing types of Falcons such as the Falcon 2000EX towards the F2THE (Falcon 2000EX EASy, Falcon 2000DX and Falcon 2000LX).  This operational evaluation is therefore based on a Falcon 2000EX EASy with differences to models Falcon 2000DX and Falcon 2000LX.
    
The operational evaluation including training was conducted at the CAE SimuFlite North East Training Center, Morristown New Jersey. No Flight training was conducted but an Evaluation of the Pilot initial type rating training course with HUD was completed on a Falcon 2000EX EASy Level D Full Flight Simulator (TC ID #88).

During the period April 16th 2009 through Mai 09th 2009 , the OEB Chairman completed:

  • Pilot initial type rating training course with HUD for the Falcon 2000EX EASy
          with:
  • Thirteen days of instructor-led Falcon 2000EX EASy ground school with
    differences on Falcon 2000DX  and Falcon 2000LX and HUD Training;
  • 25.0 H of Level D Full Flight Simulator of the Falcon 2000EX EASy (TC ID #88) and HUD Training with a Pilot proficiency evaluation equal to a Pilot Proficiency Check (PPC) at the end.

The OEB did not conduct any Operational Suitability Flights, nor submit any Operational Review Items (ORI’s) to Dassault because the scope of the TCCA operational evaluation was the validation of the EASA and FAA operational evaluations of F2THE aeroplane.

The OEB is responsible for conducting future evaluations of the F2THE aeroplanes and related models. Re-evaluation may be required if a new derivative is produced or significant hardware or software modifications are made to existing production F2THE aeroplanes. OEB activity may also be required when new systems such as EVS or SVS are introduced. The Board will then determine the associated impact on training, checking and currency and will amend this report accordingly.

5.   PILOT "TYPE RATING" REQUIREMENTS

The Operational Evaluation Board (OEB) has determined that Falcon 2000 aircraft with the Honeywell Epic "EASy" cockpit have a different pilot type rating than previous models. In accordance with the provisions of Canadian Aviation Regulation CARs 401.06 the pilot type rating for the Dassault Model Falcon 2000EX EASY, Falcon 2000DX and Falcon 2000LXaeroplanes is designated F2THE.

The Canadian Type Certificate Data Sheet (A-249) for the F2THE specifies the needs for One Pilot and One Co pilot The issuance of a type rating would require a completion of a program of ground school instruction and flight training on the aeroplane type, and Pilot Proficiency Check for Commercial Operations in accordance with CASS 421.40(3)(a).

6.  MASTER COMMON REQUIREMENTS (MCRS)

The Master Common Requirements specify those items of crew qualification that apply to F2THE variants.

6.2 Limitations

For all the limitations, refer to Airplane Flight Manual and/or CODDE 2 manual.
with special attention on the limitations of the Flight Director, Auto Throttle and Autopilot  in Take Off, Approach, and  Landing.

6.2 Avionics

The use of EPIC (from Honeywell) and the EASy system developed by Dassault Aviation requires strict adherence of the code of colours (refer to CODDE 1). The code of colours are included in OEB report with a code number and associated colour as follows:

1-Red
2-Amber
3-Green
4-Magenta
5-Cyan
6-White
7-Grey
8-Blue
9-Brown
10-Yellow
11-Black

1-Red:
Red is associated with short term danger and an emergency, such as fire, loss of attitude, airspeed or altitude information, loss guidance cues or autopilot disengagement. Red is also relevant to flight conditions or systems status that are abnormal and immediate flight crew action is required

2-Amber:
Amber is associated with abnormal conditions and aims at alerting the flightcrew. Flightcrew attention is required even if no immediate action is necessary. Amber may be the result of either a failure or a direct crew error. It is also used to indicate that a protection device is not working properly; such as stall protection ,automatic slat extension or automatic airbrakes retraction. Amber also serves as a pre-alerting mode when raw information may be not presented (i.e. Cabin Altitude to be checked).

3-Magenta:
Magenta indicates an active target (i.e. What the system is closing the loop on)
4-Green:
Green is a system-computed data. It depicts a system current or active data.

5-Cyan:
Cyan indicates what is about to happen. As such cyan means an armed mode, pending modification and also mean  “about to become a problem” eg.TCAS proximate traffic

6-White:
White is a default colour; Everything which cannot justify another colour will be displayed in white. It is used for all labels on controllers or in windows, pilot selected or overridden data (to, differentiate them from system data).
 
7-Grey:
Grey is a neutral background colour. It is used to delimit sectors, areas and when used as a background for a character string, it means that this parameter is neither selectable nor modifiable.
In the case of a synoptic display, grey is used to depict an element, which does not participate in the process.

8-Blue:
Blue is the control feedback for a crew normal selection in the overhead panel. It is also used in the flight plan way points list to highlight the row, where the CCD is pointing at.

9-Brown:
Brown depicts the earth in the ADI (including stand-by instrument) in the altitude tape and in the INAV regular terrain. In this latter different levels of brown are used to render the terrain altitude.

10-Yellow:
Yellow is a legacy colour used for the aeroplane symbol in the ADI, terrain alerts in I-NAV and TNT window and Wx symbology.

11-Black:
Black is the default background colour or string colour for reverse video. In case of a parameter that is black boxed, it means that the parameter is selectable or modifiable.

6.3 Aural warnings

Fault aural warnings include:

  • EGPWS messages
  • TCAS messages

Refer to CODDE 2 and / or CODDE 3.

6.4 Aircraft approach and circling category

All air operators should comply with the Canada Air Pilot (CAP) and use an approach category appropriate to the speed of Vref. Air operators may be further restricted by their operations specifications for circling approaches.

6.5 Approach profiles

The Falcon 2000 EX EASy is certified for Steep Approaches up to 6.5° .
The associated procedure and pilot training for steep approach have not been assessed by this OEB.

6.6 Normal "Final Landing Flap Setting"

The normal "final landing flap setting" is considered to be "SF3".

6.7 Landing Minima Category

This operational evaluation is limited to Category I operation’s. The aircraft is certified for Category II (CAT II) and Category III (CAT III) approaches.

6.8 “No Flap Approach”.
    
 Training and checking applicable to F2THE aircraft requires demonstration of        
  “no flap” approaches. Refer to sections 9.1.4, 9.4.1 and 10.1.2 of this report.

6.9 Abnormal and Emergency procedures

The Electronic Check-List (ECL) is the primary reference for the crew. The AFM, CODDE 3 and ECL should be updated simultaneously (to ensure that there are no discrepancies between them.  Any discrepancy that may exist due to the nature of the paper versus the electronic should be brought to the attention of the air operator.

6.10 Customization of Normal Checklists
 
The customization process for Normal Checklists within the ECL was evaluated by the OEB, and was found acceptable, provided air operators comply with the guidance provided by Dassault.

6.11 Special or unique requirements common to the F2THE

No other requirements are identified beyond those provided by CAR 704.

7.  MASTER DIFFERENCE REQUIREMENTS (MDRS)

Level A differences are established between the Falcon 2000EX EASy, Falcon 2000DX and Falcon 2000LX variants for the purposes of training, checking, and currency, regardless of which variant is used as the base aircraft (See table below).

9.  OEB SPECIFICATIONS FOR TRAINING

9.1 Assumptions Regarding Previous Experience of Flight Crewmembers

The provisions of Section 9 of this report apply to programs for flight crewmembers who are experienced in CAR 704 operations and multiengine transport category turbojet aircraft.  For flight crewmembers not having this experience, additional requirements may be appropriate as determined by the POI and OEB.

9.1.1 Terminology.

The term "must" is used in this OEB report even though it is recognized that this report serves as a guidance document and provides only one acceptable means, but not necessarily the only means, of compliance with CAR 704 requirements.  This terminology acknowledges the need for operators to fully comply with OEB report provisions, as a means of compliance with CAR 704.    Partial or selective application of the provisions of this report does not constitute an acceptable means of compliance with CAR704 under TP 12993.

9.1.2 Minimum Acceptable Training Requirements For Integrated F2THE          Program.

An acceptable ground training curriculum for a F2THE program is specified in 9.1.3. The Training program of the F2THE developed by Dassault already approved by EASA/JAA and FAA meets CASS 724.115(31). Reductions of the provisions of this report should not be made without coordination with the OEB.  Less comprehensive programs will only be approved if equivalence can clearly be established or other special factors apply.  Examples of special factors that may be considered by the OEB include such factors as allowing credit for previous applicable experience (i.e. air operators implementing fleets who have crews previously qualified) or increases in the quality or effectiveness of the training process (i.e. new types of training devices).

9.1.3 Academic Ground Training for the F2THE.

  • Ground training in the following subjects for the F2THE is required:
  1. Aircraft General Description (Interior/Exterior)
  2. Power plant
  3. Aircraft Systems (e.g. Hydraulics, Electrical, Fuel, etc.)
  4. Displays and Controls
  5. Flight Path Symbol (FPS) (Honeywell ‘’epic’’ avionic system)
  6. FMS/MKB
  7. Limitations
  8. Performance
  9. HUD (if installed)
  10. EFVS (if installed)
  11. Warnings and Cautions
  12. Normal/Abnormal Procedures
  13. Electronic Checklist
  • Flight Training should focus on the following events or manoeuvres:
  1. Exterior Differences
  2. Cockpit/Cabin Familiarization
  3. Avionics Displays interpretation
  4. Systems Tests and Checks
  5. Flight Control Malfunctions
  6. Displays and Controls
  7. FMS/MKB and CCD use
  8. Power Management Procedures
  9. No Flap Landing Procedures
  10. Normal Procedures
  11. Circling approaches
  12. HUD (if installed)
  13. EFVS (if installed)
  • Minimum Acceptable Flight Training

The underlying objective in both flight and ground training is to train to proficiency and to meet the minimum training times requirements specified in CASS 724.115(31) Table 1. Air air operators must ensure that their approved training programs requirements are meet when contracting theirs crew member training to another Training organization.

9.1.5 Take off Safety

  • Particular emphasis on certain take off safety related topics is appropriate during training.

This includes emphasis on the following:

  1. Meaning and proper use of V1
  2. Importance of prompt and correct execution of a rejected takeoff (RTO)
  3. Need to minimize exposure to high speed RTOs for minor difficulties unrelated to the    ability of the aircraft to continue a safe take off
  4. Proper line-up and use of available runway
  5. Correct accountability for reduced braking friction
  6. Engine out performance requirements (CASS 724.108 schedule I).
  7. Proper use of FPS.  The FPS provides aeroplane trajectory indication; it is
    now a primary flight parameter.  The basic FD mode is now a PATH mode, instead of pitch as on previous aeroplanes.

9.1.6 Specialized Training

Specialized training is intended to improve basic crew understanding and confidence regarding aircraft handling qualities, options and procedures as these relate to design characteristics and limitations. This training should include the following:

  • Windshear training

Familiarization and training should be provided on procedures for recognizing, avoiding and escaping from severe weather situations, including low-altitude windshear as recommended by CBAAC 0236.

  • Traffic Alert and Avoidance System (TCAS)

Training should be provided as recommended by CBAAC 0098

  • Stall Recovery

Training should be provided as recommended in CBAAC 0247

  • Low Energy Awareness Training

Training shall be provided per CBAAC 0141

  • The F2THE cockpit features new displays and a new cockpit management.

The EASy philosophy is a graphical interface through modular avionics architecture. Situational awareness, aeroplane automation awareness and aeroplane system awareness may initially require increased attention by crewmembers if unfamiliar with new cockpit format.  If an aeroplane instead of flight training device is used for training, it must be emphasized that as much training as possible should be accomplished in a static ground, "powered-up" aircraft to minimize any "heads down" distraction while the aircraft is in flight. .

  • Electronic checklists.

Use of normal and non-normal checklists should be addressed.  Use of Check List Controller (CLC) and Multifunction Keyboard (MKB) with electronic checklist should to be stressed.

  • Long range / overwater flights.

Due to criticality of fuel computations, crews should be familiar with all aspects of fuel management to include normal and abnormal procedures and the manner in which fuel computations are made.

  • Hazardous weather and winter operations.

Proper precautions and procedures regarding hazardous weather/winter operations, which may be unique to F2THE aircraft should be addressed.For example, topics such as cross wind take off, proper use of wing/tail de-ice, antiskid braking characteristics when stopping on slippery runways, use of procedures described in the windshear training , hazards associated with rejecting takeoffs near V1 on slippery runways, and other such topics, are appropriate for emphasis in training programs.Air operators and flight crews should be familiar with the airplane flight manual (CODDE 3) to advise flight crews about limitations on operating in icing conditions.  Air operators who elect to operate in icing conditions with HP bleeds off should follow the CODDE 2 "Operation in icing conditions with HP OFF" procedure. 

  • Reduced Vertical Separation Minimum (RVSM). 

TCCA provides the authorization for operations within RVSM airspace by an Operations Specification (Ops Spec) to their Private Operator Certificate (POC) or Air Operator Certificate (AOC).  CBAAC 0226, “Southern Domestic Reduced Separation Minimum and Reduced Vertical Separation Minimum Approval Process”, dated 2004.03.09 provides the applicable guidance and regulatory references for RVSM approval.  The referenced guidance includes the FAA Advisory Circular 91-RVSM, “Interim Guidance Material on the Approval of Operators/Aircraft for RVSM Operations" which was adopted by ICAO for the use of all Member States (including Canada) in their authorization programs. Paragraphs 722.08 (2)(d), 723.08 (2)(d), 724.08 (2)(d) and 725.08 (2)(d) of the CASS make specific reference to this document, as well as ICAO NAT DOC 001 for RVSM standards.

Practices and procedures for RVSM operations should be standardized using guidelines referenced in CBAAC 0226 including FAA AC 91-RVSM.

  • Selected event training. 

Selected event training is voluntary flight training in hazardous in-flight situations, which are not specifically identified in TCCA regulations, standards or guidance material  Although there are many examples of selective event training, the training and recovery from unusual attitudes has received special attention from the U.S. National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB), the FAA and industry.  In addressing these concerns, a consensus has been reached that the most valuable training would not necessarily be limited to unusual attitude recovery, but would also address recognition and containment that might lead to unusual attitudes.

The goal of upset recovery training is to increase the pilot’s ability to recognize and avoid situations that can lead to aeroplane upsets and improve the pilot’s ability to recover control of an aeroplane that has exceeded the normal flight regime.  This can be accomplished by increasing awareness of potential upset situations and knowledge of flight dynamics and by application of this knowledge during simulator training sessions.

Although not required, it is highly recommended that each operator or flight training center develop an effective academic and practical upset simulator-training program.  For those organizations that do not have or are in the process of creating a complete training program, the Airplane Upset Recovery Training Aid, developed by industry and published by The Boeing Company, or FAA Order 8400.10 (Air Transportation Operations Inspector’s Handbook) will readily provide the foundation for a through and efficient program.

  • Circling approaches and landing

The autopilot is available for Circling when the Circling Minimum Descent Altitude is below 1000 ft AGL.  Refer to the AFM and/or CODDE 2 manual for minimum altitudes for autopilot use.

  • Training for F2THE "Seat Dependent" Tasks.

For CARs 704 operations, proper accomplishment of certain F2THE tasks, procedures, or manoeuvres require training of a crewmember for a particular crew position (e.g. captain, first officer, check airman, etc...).  Thus training programs including those programs leading to airman certification for a type rating should recognize and address the necessary seat/position related tasks for the applicable crewmember.

The following F2THE tasks, procedures, or manoeuvres are considered to have seat dependent elements, and may need to be considered and addressed under CARs 704 training programs:

  1. Use of nose wheel steering during taxi
  2. Rejected takeoffs
  3. Cat II/III operations including HUD and EFVS (if installed)
  4. Crosswind takeoffs and landings
  5. Engine inoperative takeoffs and landings
  6. Emergency communications
  7. Loss of all generators
  8. Emergency descent
  9. Operation on emergency power

9.2 Initial, Upgrade, or Transition Training.

9.2.1 Pilots: Initial, Transition and Upgrade Ground Training 

Initial, transition or upgrade ground training for the F2THE is accomplished in accordance with CASS 724.115(31)(a) Table 1 & 2. Training program hours may be reduced as specified in the air operator’s approved Training program, but not in a manner or in areas that invalidate compliance with provisions of the MDR.

9.2.2 Pilots: Initial, Transition and Upgrade Flight Training

Initial, transition or upgrade flight training for F2THE is accomplished in accordance with CASS 724.115(31)(a) Table 1 & 2. Training program hours may be reduced as specified in the air operator’s approved Training program, but not in a manner or in areas that invalidate compliance with provisions of the MDR.

9.2.3 Crewmember Emergency Training

Crewmember emergency training in the F2THE should be conducted according to the CASS 724.115(12) and The AFM CODDE 3.

9.3 Differences Training.

(Reserved)

9.4 Recurrent Training.

9.4.1    Recurrent Flight Training.

Annual recurrent training is accomplished in accordance with the air operators approved training program that meets the standards of CASS 724.115.  Minimum Ground and Flight (Simulator) specified in CASS 724.115(31) Table 2 apply. Recurrent flight training also requires the appropriate manoeuvres and procedures as identified in the Air operator’s approved Training program and satisfactory completion of a Pilot Proficiency Check (PPC). The satisfactory completion of a PPC may be substituted for training in the first 12 mouths of the PPC.

Recurrent training requires the demonstration of “no flap” approaches.

9.5       Other Training.

9.5.1    Person Assigned On board Duty (PAOBD): Initial and transition ground training

Flight Attendants are not required on this aircraft.  A PAOBD can be used as per CASS 704.33 (3). Initial and transition ground training will be required as per CASS 704.115 (2) d).  Due to the configuration of the cabin several unique training problems need to be addressed :

a) Normal operations
b) Control and stowage of passenger's personal items
c) Familiarity with emergency exits
d) Use of emergency equipment (e.g. fire extinguishers, first aid kit, oxygen bottle, crew PBE and oxygen masks).

The contents of Initial and Annual training must meet CASS 724.115 (30).

10. OEB SPECIFICATIONS FOR CHECKING

10.1 General.

10.1.1 Checking Items.

Checking conducted shall be in accordance with CASS 724.108 schedule 1, as required.

10.1.2 Areas of emphasis.
 
The following areas of emphasis should be addressed during checks as necessary:

  • Proficiency with manual and automatic flight

Proficiency with manual and automatic flight in normal and non-normal situations must be demonstrated.  For crews not experienced with AFCS, FMS and EFIS, emphasis is related to proper mode selection and use, crew coordination when performing mode or data changes, and interpretation of annunciations.  For crews familiar with AFCS, FMS and EFIS, but not having recent experience with newer generation flight instruments; navigation, manual capture of altitudes, raw data approaches, tracking of VOR radials/NDB bearings using an RMI and other such systems or procedures may require additional practice or review in one or more of the above areas.

  • Controls and displays

Proper setup, selection, and use of those displays should be demonstrated, particularly during instrument approaches.

  • Communication Radio Management

Clear understanding and use of the communication radio display should be demonstrated.  This will be particularly important when flight training device (FTD) and simulator training sessions may not fully simulate ATC.

  • "No Flap" Approaches

"No Flap" Approaches and landings for F2THE aeroplane checking is required for the successful completion of an initial PPC for CARs Subparts 401and 704. Checking should be conducted in accordance with the provisions of paragraph 6.8. "No Flap" and "Hydraulic System Abnormal" approaches may be combined and should be addressed during training.

  • Outside visual scan

Proper outside visual scan without prolonged fixation on cockpit displays or controls should be consistently demonstrated.

  • Speed management

Proper speed management and control application during rotation and flare.

  • Noise abatement procedures

When noise abatement procedures are used, proper performance of the alternate procedures should be addressed (Special Normal Procedure in CODDE3).

10.2 Proficiency checks administration

Proficiency checks are administered as designated in CASS 724.108 Schedule 1 for the F2THE aeroplane.  An Approved check Pilot or operationally qualified TC Safety Inspector must administer these checks.

11. OEB SPECIFICATIONS FOR LINE INDOCTRINATION

Line indoctrination as specified by the CAR 704 applies.

12. OEB SPECIFICATIONS FOR CURRENCY

Currency is considered to be common for the F2THE. Currency will be maintained, or re-
 established, in accordance with CASS 724.115 through the approved air operator training  program.

13. AIRCRAFT REGULATORY COMPLIANCE CHECKLIST

Any Canadian air operator wishing to operate the F2THE aeroplane will have to demonstrate to Transport Canada that the aircraft fully complies with all applicable CAR 605/704 parts before that aircraft enters service.

A sample checklist for guidance to a POI in determining an air operator’s compliance with all applicable provisions of CAR 605/704 is provided in Appendix 4 of this report.

14. SPECIFICATIONS FOR DEVICES AND SIMULATORS

Device and simulator characteristics are designated in Aeroplane and Rotorcraft Simulator Manual (TP 9685). The acceptability of differences between devices, simulators, and aircraft must be addressed by the POI. Requests for device approval should be made to the POI.  The POI may approve those devices for that air operator if their characteristics clearly meet the established TC criteria and have been qualified by the National Simulator Evaluation Program (NSEP).

15. APPLICATION OF REPORT

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

16. ALTERNATE MEANS OF COMPLIANCE TO THIS REPORT

The OEB team leader or the Transport Canada Standards Branch (AARTF) should be consulted by the POI when alternate means of compliance, other than those specified in this report, are proposed.  If an alternate means of compliance is sought, air operators will be required to submit a proposed alternate means for approval that provides an equivalent level of safety to the provisions of the CPD and this OEB report.  Analysis, demonstrations, proof of concept testing, differences documentation, and/or other evidence may be required.

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

PART II.  SUPPLEMENTAL REPORT

APPENDIX 1. HEAD UP DISPLAY (HUD) QUALIFICATION PROGRAM

A HUD is an option on F2THE aeroplane. The F2THE is equipped with a Rockwell Collins HGS Model 4860. This HUD is certified for manual Cat I, and Cat II operations.

Note: For the purposes of this OE report, the term HUD and HGS may be used interchangeably.

The HUD pilot training requirements consist of those related to initial and recurrent ground and flight training.  Unless covered concurrently during an initial or transition type rating course, a prerequisite to beginning this course of training is prior training, qualification and currency in the F2THE aeroplane.  It should be noted that the program focuses principally upon training events flown in the left seat by the pilot-in-command (PIC).  Nevertheless, first officer indoctrination and training is also essential.

The OEB has determined that each pilot in command of an aircraft equipped with a HUD system shall receive a minimum of 4 hours of ground school training followed by a minimum of 4 hours of simulator training in the left seat of a level 'C', with a daylight visual display, or level 'D' simulator

1.   Initial Ground Training:
      
For all operators, the initial ground-training program should include the following elements:

1.1 Classroom instruction covering HUD operational

HUD operational concepts, crew duties and responsibilities and operational procedures including preflight, normal and non-normal pilot activities.  For air operators wishing credit for low visibility operations predicated on use of the HUD, information should be provided on the operational characteristics, capabilities, and limitations of the ground facilities (surface movement guidance control system) and airborne CAT II system.  Air operator policies and procedures concerning low visibility operations should include a reporting process, MEL issues, operation following a missed approach, IOE and currency requirements.

1.2 Classroom instruction (or Computer Based Training - (CBT)) on the HUD symbology
 
Instruction on HUD symbology set and it’s inter-relationship with airplane aerodynamics, inertial factors and environmental conditions.

1.3 HUD pilot training manual or equivalent material

Training in a HUD pilot manual or equivalent material in the Operations Manual which explains all modes of operation, the use of various HUD controls, clear descriptions of HUD symbology including limit conditions and failures, and incorporating a crew procedures guide clearly delineating pilot-flying (PF) and pilot-not-flying (PNF) duties, responsibilities and procedural call-outs and responses during all phases of flight during which HUD operations are anticipated.  Emphasis on the availability and limitations of visual cures encountered on approach both before and after DH.  This would include:

  • Procedures for unexpected deterioration of conditions to less than minimum RVR encountered during approach, flare and rollout
  • Demonstration of expected visual references with weather at minimum conditions
  • Expected sequence of visual cues during an approach in which visibility is at or above landing minima.

1.4 Graphical display

A graphical display demonstrating all modes of operation complete with sound.  For operators wishing credit for low visibility operations predicated on use of the HUD, this should include narrative descriptions and several low weather approach demonstrations with procedural call-outs and responses.  All critical procedural call-out possibilities should be covered.

1.5 HUD use as a CAT II landing system

If the HUD is used as a Cat II landing system, emphasis on the need for rigorous crew discipline, coordination and adherence to procedural guidelines as is required for other CAT II landing systems.

2.   Initial Flight Training:

Unless integrated with initial or transition type rating training, flight training dedicated to HUD familiarization and proficiency is in addition to other required elements.  Initial flight training should be conducted in accordance with the applicable provisions of CASS 724.115. Flight training dedicated to HUD familiarization and proficiency is in addition to other required elements.  When a simulator is used, only TCCA approved F2THE simulators with both a visual and Heads Up Display installed may be used.  For flight simulator training, all required approaches should be flown from no closer than the final approach fix (FAF) for instrument approaches and from no closer than approximately 1000 feet AGL (3 - 4 NM) to the runway threshold for visual approaches.

The following flight-training program is generic in nature and should not be construed to dictate what the flight course of instruction must consist of.  Each operator has his own unique requirements, route structure, fleet composition and operations policies to consider in developing their training program.  Therefore, what follows might be considered as a guide to an operator who is tailoring a HUD training program to fit his own needs.

2.1    Air work

Air work should include:

  • Straight and level flight, accelerations and decelerations
  • Normal and steep turns, climbs and descents
  • Approach to stall and recovery and unusual attitudes
  • Vectors to intercept and track selected VOR courses

Note:  Emphasis should be placed on HUD unique symbology, i.e., flight path, flight path acceleration, airspeed error tape, AOA limit bracket, and excessive pitch attitude inidications (chevrons).  When this training is complete, the trainee should have a thorough understanding of the relationship between aircraft flight path parameters and the HUD symbology.

2.2    Visual Approaches (VMC mode)

  • Perform one approach showing deviations above and below glide slope for symbology/runway relationship
  • Straight-in landings, with no wind, and repeat with 10 kts cross wind and at night
  • Circling approaches and landing with 10 kts crosswind

Note:  It is desirable to fly half of these approaches at different airports that have dissimilar approach and runway lighting systems.  Special emphasis should be placed on optimizing circling approach techniques and procedures.  Approaches with the aircraft in a non-normal flap configuration should be included.

2.3    Instrument Approaches:

2.3.1 For all operators.

  • Perform a CAT I approach to 200 foot DH, 2400 RVR, wind calm
  • Demonstrate failures and incorrect settings on approach, i.e., miss set runway elevation, airspeed, selected course, etc.
  • Illustrate unique characteristics of symbology in wind shear conditions, i.e., erratic wind speed and direction, flight path, flight path acceleration and speed error, etc.
  • Non-precision approach, VOR approach, 600-2, 15 knot crosswind

2.3.2    For operators wishing credit for low visibility operations predicated on use of the HUD.

  • Perform a CAT II approach to 100 foot DH, 1200 RVR, 5 - 10 kts crosswind

Note:  Several of the instrument approaches should include a variety of ground and airborne system failures requiring pilot recognition and appropriate procedural actions.  Demonstrated system/component failures could include flap asymmetry problems, engine out operations, HGS sensor failures, etc.  Demonstration how HUD failure modes can reduce precision and increase pilot workload unless PF/PNF duties and responsibilities are clearly delineated and understood.

2.3.3    Takeoff

  • Normal takeoff, clear and calm, repeated with gusty winds
  • Takeoff, 600 foot RVR, 5 knot crosswind
  • Takeoff, 600 foot RVR, 5 knot crosswind, engine failure prior to V1
  • Takeoff, 600 foot RVR, 5 knot crosswind, engine failure after V1
  • Takeoff with HUD failure, 600 foot RVR

3.   Checking Requirements

Checking requires a pilot proficiency check conducted in a level 'C' simulator, with a daylight visual display, in a level 'D' simulator, or on a HUD equipped aircraft.  The pilot proficiency check will include at least one takeoff and departure procedure and one instrument approach and landing utilizing the HUD. The pilot proficiency check will also include a minimum of one takeoff or missed approach and one instrument approach without utilizing the HUD. This is to ensure proficiency without the use of the HUD.  This check can be accomplished concurrently with a pilot proficiency check under CASS 724.108 Schedule 1.

4.   Currency Requirements

Air operators using the HUD for low visibility operations must have annual recurrent training and proficiency checks. The following low visibility operations should be performed in addition to regular requirements:

  • Approach and landing, 600 foot RVR, 10 knot crosswind
  • Approach, 600 foot RVR, 10 knot crosswind, light turbulence with missed approach
  • Takeoff, 600 foot RVR, engine failure either before or after V1 (for HUD systems certified for lower than standard takeoff)

 Selected ground training subjects should be reviewed annually.

APPENDIX 4.  REGULATORY COMPLIANCE CHECKLISTS

Any Canadian air operator wishing to operate the F2THE aeroplane will have to demonstrate to Transport Canada that the aircraft fully complies with all applicable CAR 605/704 parts prior to that aircraft entering service.  This checklist may be used by the air operator to show compliance with those items listed in it.
