OPERATIONS MANUAL 

AIR CARRIER CERTIFICATE NUMBER AOYA206C 

4.9 OTHER COMMERCIAL FLYING TIME 

(a) Pilots shall report, or make available, to the Director of Operations flight time records from all other 

commercial flying activities within seven days prior to duty. 

(h) Other Commercial Flying time includes: 

(I) Any flight instruction activities 

(2) Any business flying even if not on an hourly basis 

(3) Any flying, or flight training, or ferrying, for any business concern whether they are an aviation 

company or not 

( 4) Other airline flying. 

(c) Military flying in the National Guard or Reserves is not considered Commercial Flying Time for air carrier 

purposes. Although the flight time does not figure into any calculation against the limitations for a later air 

carrier flight, it is the company policy that you not accept a flight without meeting the minimum rest period 

requirements of 10 hours of uninterrupted rest imposed by 135.267. -

Do not use the mandatory rest periods under the air carrier rules as your duty period to conduct military 

flying. 

4.10 DEPARTURES WITH MARGINAL DESTINATION WEATHER 

(a) AIR CARRIER 

(I) 135.219 No person may takeoff an aircraft under !FR unless the latest weather reports or forecast 

indicate that the weather conditions at the estimated time of arrival at the next airport of intended 

landing will be at or above authorized !FR landing minimums. 

(2) 135.221 Alternate airport weather requirements. No person shall designate an alternate airport 

unless the weather reports or forecast indicate that the weather conditions will be at or above 

authorized alternate airport minimums for that airport at the estimated time of arrival . 

(h) ALL FLIGHTS 

Passengers should be advised of any forecast or anticipated weather problems and a decision made as to a 

possible course of action if the destination weather makes completion of the planned flight impossible.

FAA ASSESSMENT FINDINGS 

January 30- February 3, 2012 

NORTHEASTERN AVIATION (AOYA) 

RESPONSE AND ACTION PLANS 

General Operations Manual 

Other Commercial Flying: Northeastern has a documented procedure for pilots to record Other Commercial 

Flying Time requiring pilots to report or make available flight time records from all other commercial flying 

14 activities within 7 days prior to duty. [GOM Section 1 Chapter 4 4.9] There are no records found from 

known pilots who are actively flying outside of Northeastern. There is a potential of a pilot being assigned 

fli ht du without havin ade uate rest and! or exceedin fli ht and du time limitations. 

ANALYSIS /INVESTIGATION 

Analysis shows NEA could utilize a better system for the tracking of Flight, Duty and rest times of flight crew 

members outside of the Company. The seven day notification is not realistic to ensure compliance with 

requirements. NEA will developed an new process and procedures utilizing industry best practices. 

CORRECTIVE ACTION PLAN 

IMMEDIATE ACTION: 

A Company Operations Bulletin will be issued to all flight crew (full and part-time) explaining the new 

procedures. 

CORRECTIVE ACTION: 

Athe GOM will be revised at the new update reflecting the newly established tracking system for Flight, Duty 

and rest requirements outside of the Company. .
