16 SECTION II

OPERATIONAL CON TROL

1. Operational Control is defined in FAR 1 as "the exercise of authority

over initiating, conducting, and terminating a flight". Operational Control is

exercised through both active and passive means. Passive control consists of

developing and publ ishing policies and procedures for operational control

personnel and flightcrews to follow in the performance of their duties and

assuring adequate information and facilities are available to conduct the

planned operation. Active control consists of makin g those decisions and

performing those actions necessary to operate a specific flight such as crew

scheduling, accepting charter flights from the public, reviewing weather and

NOTAMs, and flight planning.

POF is responsible for ensuring that both flightcr ew and operational control

personnel comply with published policies and procedures.

2. Operational Control systems vary with the type of operation

authorized. In accordance with company policy, the major responsibility for

operational control is with the Director of Operations. The Director of

Operations may delegate the active control of flight to the Pilot In

C ommand

, but always retains full responsibility.

A. Operational Control includes, but is not limited to, the performance of

the following funct ions:

• Ensuring that only crewmembers trained and qualified in

accordance with the applicable regulations are assigned to

conduct a flight.

• Designating a pilot

- in

- command (PIC) for each flight.

• Providing the PIC and flight control personnel access to the

information necessary for the safe conduct of the flight (such as

weather, NOTAMS, airport information).PLANES OF FAME AIR MUSEUM Rev : Original

GENERAL OPERATIONS MANUAL 31 May 2016

17 • Specifying the conditions under which a flight may be

conducted (weather minimums, flight planning, airworthiness of

aircraft, aircraft loading, and fuel requirements).

• Ensuring that each flight has complied with the specified

conditions before it is allowed to depart.

• Ensuring that when the specified conditions cannot be met, the

flight is canceled, delayed, or re

- routed.

• Monitoring the progress of each flight and initiating timely

actions when the flight cannot be completed as planned,

including diverting or terminating a flight.

SAFETY MANAGEMENT SY STEM

The POF Safety Management System (SMS) is in place to build a culture of

safety and safe op erational practices throughout the flight department. The

Safety Officer will compile an annual safety report for the director of

operations that evaluates our SMS process, the reports generated, and

actions taken, in determining whether the flight depart ment is meeting our

safety performance targets. After being reviewed by the Director of

Operations, this report will be posted for all flight department personnel to

review.

The Safety Officer will respond to each safety report received. He may

immediate ly refer some issues to the safety committee for further action.

The resolution of some issues may require changes to the General

Operations Manual, training manuals or the SMS to insure an equivalent

level of safety throughout the organization. Open commu nication is vital to

our safety program and the POF President and senior staff will work closely

with the Safety Officer to coordinate the appropriate changes to any manual

or policy.PLANES OF FAME AIR MUSEUM Rev : Original

27 SABOTAGE/BOMB THREAT

1

. On the Ground: The Pilot in Comm and shall remove passengers

from the aircraft and escort all passengers out of the area. He/she

shall notify POF Management Personnel and appropriate authorities

and maintain aircraft security until the arrival of those authorities. In

no case will any crewmember re

- enter or in any manner approach the

aircraft or allow any unauthorized person or persons to approach the

aircraft until it is released by the proper authorities.

2

. In Flight: The Pilot in Command will advise ATC of the nature of

the thre at and request assistance, he/she shall land immediately at the

nearest suitable airport, and comply with paragraph (a) in this section.

If an expeditious landing cannot be accomplished due to weather or

other prevailing circumstances, technical advice ca n be obtained from

FAA Ordinance Demolition Specialist. These specialists are available

via phone patch through the controlling ATC facility.

3

. Bomb Threat Procedures:

1. If possible, land and evacuate the aircraft immediately.

2. If an immediate lan ding is not possible, contact FAA Security

through ATC and proceed as follows:

i. Keep passengers seated with seatbelts fastened.

ii. After considering aircraft capabilities and distance to the

nearest suitable airport, when possible slow to approach

sp eed, configure the aircraft for landing and restrict

maneuvering to the minimum for safe operation. (In

the event of detonation, the systems required to place the

aircraft in landing configuration could be damaged, if the

aircraft is preconfigured this p roblem is eliminated.

Flight operations conducted at approach speeds in a level

attitude reduces aircraft structural stress to a minimum.)PLANES OF FAME AIR MUSEUM Rev : Original

GENERAL OPERATIONS MANUAL 31 May 2016

28 iii. Proceed to the nearest suitable airport, land and evacuate

the aircraft immediately.

AERIAL PIRACY

It is a vi olation of Federal law for any person to gain control over the

operation of POF aircraft by the use of force, threat, or by any act of

violence.

The following procedures have been established by POF and Federal

authorities and are provided herein as gener al crewmember guidance:

1

. The Pilot in Command will utilize his/her best judgment in how to

proceed. Drastic action should be taken if he believes the hijacker

intends to use the aircraft as a weapon against a ground target. In any

case, the best inter est of the passengers and crew should be

considered.

2

. The Pilot in Command should attempt to utilize the aircraft

transponder to convey his/her predicament to air traffic control.

3

. Pilot Signal: Set transponder to Code 7500. When unable to change

the transponder setting or when not under radar control, if possible,

transmit a radio message which includes the p hrase “Trip, Aircraft

call sign seven five zero zero”.

4

. Controllers shall acknowledge receipt of beacon Code 7500 by

“(aircraft call sign) (name of facility), you are squawking 7500. Is this

intentional?” An affirmative reply from the pilot or activation of the

ident feature indicates confirmation and proper authorities will be

notified.

5

. When an in

- the

- clear radio transmission of a hija cking is received,

controllers shall assign Code 7500 to the aircraft. This does not

preclude a subsequent change to Code 7700 by the Pilot in Command,

if necessary.PLANES OF FAME AIR MUSEUM Rev : Original

GENERAL OPERATIONS MANUAL 31 May 2016

29 6

. Pilot Message : Situation desperate, want armed intervention. After

using code 7500, change the transponder to Code 7700. When unable

to change the transponder setting or when not under radar control, if

possible transmit “Trip (aircraft call sign) transponder seven seven

zero zero”.

7

. Pilots who change from Code 7500 to Code 7700 sho uld remain on

7500 for at least three minutes or until a confirmation of Code 7500

has been received from the controller, before changing to Code 7700.

8

. Aircraft squawking Code 7700 and not in radio contact with the

ground will be considered by ATC to h ave an inflight emergency (in

addition to hijacking). In these cases, notification of authorities shall

include information that the aircraft displayed the hijack code as well

as the emergency code.

9

. Notification Procedures at POF Principal Operations Base :

Immediately upon receipt of reliable information that the POF aircraft

has been skyjacked, the employee who receives the information shall

notify POF personnel pursuant to the chain of command who will

provide all information required by:

(1) Poli ce/State/Local

(2) FBI/DEA/ATF

(3) FAA/DOT/NTSB Officials

(4) U.S. Immigration/Customs Officials (if skyjacking takes

aircraft across U.S. border)

(5) Official Representative of Foreign Government, if involved.

CREWMEMBER INCAPACITATION

In the event the Pilot in Command or Second in Command becomes

incapacitated in flight, the following procedure shall be utilized:

1

. Assure a safe condition of flight exists.PLANES OF FAME AIR MUSEUM Rev : Original

GENERAL OPERATIONS MANUAL 31 May 2016

30 2

. Once aircraft control is established, assist the incapacitated

crewmember.

3

. If possib le, utilizing the assistance of a passenger volunteer, remove

the incapacitated crewmember from his/her seat.

4

. If crewmember removal from seat is not advisable, assure that he/she

is restrained in a manner that prohibits involuntary movement that

may in terfere with aircraft control.

5

. Declare an emergency with ATC and advise them of the nature of the

emergency and your intentions, request vectors and assistance.

6

. Once destination is determined, call ahead for medical assistance.

7

. Upon arrival at the destination notify Flight Operations Personnel

immediately.PLANES OF FAME AIR MUSEUM Rev : Original

GENERAL OPERATIONS MANUAL 31 May 2016

31 SECTION V

EMERGENCY PROCEDURES

Whenever the Pilot

- in

- Command (PIC) is the sole company employee on

board the flight, the PIC is assigned all emergency evacuation duties.

Whenever a Second

- in

- Command (SIC) is assigned to the flight, the

emergency evacuation duties are assigned as follows:

Pilot

- in

- Command

1. Opening of the main cabin door, if possible.

2. Assisting passengers to disembark.

3. Leading passengers to safety.

4. Notifying pro per authorities and requesting aid.

Second

- in

- Command

1. Opening of the emergency exit, if possible.

2. Ensuring all viable passengers have disembarked.

3. Accounting for all passengers.

4. Administering First Aid.

If either pilot is incapacitated, the other pilot will assume all emergency

duties.PLANES OF FAME AIR MUSEUM Rev : Original

GENERAL OPERATIONS MANUAL 31 May 2016

32 EMERGENCY EVACUATION ASSISTANCE

Persons who may need the assistance of another person to move

expeditiously to an exit in an emergency will be additionally briefed by the

Pilot

- in

- Com mand (PIC). If the handicapped person is accompanied by an

attendant, the attendant will be briefed concurrently. This briefing will

consist of:

1. Location of the nearest emergency exit.

2. Procedures to be followed so that the handicapped person is evacuated

wit hout delaying the evacuation of others on board the aircraft.

If a situation occurs that requires an emergency evacuation of the aircraft,

the attendant, if there is one, will be solely responsible for the evacuation of

the person requiring assistance. I f there is no such attendant, then the

Second

- in

- Command will assist that person to the exit after all able

- bodied

passengers have exited the aircraft.PLANES OF FAME AIR MUSEUM Rev : Original

GENERAL OPERATIONS MANUAL 31 May 2016

33 SECTION VI

STANDARDIZATION OF FLIGHT PROCEDURES

Crewmembers will at all times adhere to published sta ndardized procedures

in the conduct of flights. This will ensure that company aircraft will be

operated according to procedures that the company deems to be safest.

Standardization also facilitates crewmember expectations of other

crewmembers, thereby ma ximizing crew coordination and efficiency,

regardless of changes in crew pairings.

The substitution of procedures of personal preference, for those established

by POF , is considered a serious breach of the code of conduct expected of a

Pilot In Command

. Continued infractions after being otherwise counseled

may result in termination of employment.

CREW COORDINATION

Experience has shown that a well

- managed cockpit environment, including

the timely and correct exchange of information between cockpit

crewm embers and the proper accomplishment of their appointed tasks,

serves as one of the most effective methods by which air carrier operational

safety can be enhanced. Proper crew coordination procedures include, but

are not limited to the following:

1. Acco mplishment of all checklists, using response prompts as

indicated

2. Altitude callouts, in VMC as well as in IFR conditions

3. Descent rate and speed management, monitoring, and callouts

4. Pre

- takeoff and pre

- approach briefings

5. Navigation and monitorin g callouts if applicable

USE OF CHECKLISTS

The use of checklists to assist in the proper operation of the aircraft is

mandatory for all flights. Only those checkl ists accepted by the Director ofPLANES OF FAME AIR MUSEUM Rev : Original

GENERAL OPERATIONS MANUAL 31 May 2016

34 Operations and Chief Pilot for use by POF will be accept able, including the

methodology and procedures developed for checklist use by POF flight

crews.

Certain portions of the checklists are identified as requiring the use of the

"challenge and response" method of accomplishment. Those portions not so

identif ied may be accomplished silently by the pilot not flying. Either way,

the methodical completion of every appropriate portion of the checklist,

without omission, is demanded of every crewmember. The pilot completing

the checklist (whether silently or by c hallenge) is responsible for visually

checking each item on the checklist, and ascertaining that the correct action

has been taken.

Certain portions of the emergency checklist are required to be accomplished

immediately, from memory, during an emergency. It is the responsibility of

every flight crewmember to commit these portions to memory and review

the adequacy of their recall on a frequent basis.

The checklist is not intended as a "worklist" or a crutch to lead

crewmembers through their routines of co ntrolling aircraft systems. It is

rather envisioned that crewmembers will maintain sufficient familiarity and

proficiency with these routines or "flows" that the checklist can be used as a

check to ensure the flows are properly accomplished.

No crewmembe r is expected to attempt to accomplish, without omission,

every detail of a flow from memory. Such an expectation would negate the

rationale and practicality of using a written checklist. The proper method is

to accomplish the flow to the extent possible from memory and then to

utilize the checklist to ensure that any overlooked items are then

accomplished.

During all ground operations, it is the Pilot in Command’s responsibility to

call for all appropriate checklists, giving consideration to other requi red

crewmember duties and allowing time for their completion. The Second In

Command will query the Pilot In Command if there is abnormal delay in the

call for any checklist. During airborne operation, the pilot flying will call

for the checklist in a sim ilar manner.PLANES OF FAME AIR MUSEUM Rev : Original

GENERAL OPERATIONS MANUAL 31 May 2016

35 Checklist items will be read in a loud, clear voice and the proper response

will be equally clear and understandable. If the proper response is not

forthcoming, the crewmember reading the checklist will repeat the

challenge, if necessary, un til the proper response is provided. Undue haste

in the execution of any checklist is neither necessary nor desirable.

Upon completion of each individual checklist, the crewmember completing

the checklist will announce, "(Checklist Name) CHECKLIST COMPL ETE."

A checklist that cannot be completed when initiated because of an

interruption or because an item on the checklist cannot yet be completed will

be held until the interruption is over or the item can be completed. When the

checklist item is accompli shed, the challenge will be repeated, the proper

action taken, proper response given, and the checklist continued. It is not

acceptable to skip a checklist item and then depend on memory to

accomplish the item later . In the event that a normal sequence i s

interrupted when a long delay is encountered, such as during taxi

- out, it may

be necessary to return to an earlier point and re

- accomplish the checklist

from that point.

SECTION VII

ACCIDENT NOTIFICATIONS REQUIREMENTS

1. From the time any person boa rds the aircraft with the intention to fly

until all such persons have disembarked, the occurrence of any of the

following require POF to notify the FAA and National Transportation Safety

Board:

A. An aircraft accident, as defined in NTSB Part 830.

B. A flight control system malfunction or failure.

C. The inability of any required flight crewmember to perform his

normal flight duties as a result of injury or illness.PLANES OF FAME AIR MUSEUM Rev : Original

GENERAL OPERATIONS MANUAL 31 May 2016

36 D. Failure of any structural component of a turbine engine,

excluding compressor an d turbine blades and vanes.

E. In

- flight fire.

F. Aircraft collide in flight.

G. Damage to property (other than an aircraft) if the cost of repair

is estimated to exceed $25,000. If the property is considered a total loss,

then notification is requi red if the lessor of the estimated repair cost or its

fair market value exceeds $25,000.

H. An aircraft is overdue (45 minutes late or beyond its

programmed fuel endurance time, whichever is less) and is believed to have

been involved in an accident.

2. POF personnel will notify the FAA and NTSB in the most expeditious

means available as follows:

A. The Pilot

- in

- Command (PIC) shall notify the Director of

Operations, who will immediately notify the FAA and NTSB. This

notification should be through the FAA SW Region Regional Operations

Center (ROC) at (817)222

- 5006 ; or may be direct to the NTSB, if necessary.

B. If the PIC cannot immediately contact the Director of

Operations, the PIC will immediately notify the FAA SW Region Regional

Operations Center (ROC) at (817)222

- 5006 . Th e SW Region ROC will in

turn notify the NTSB and other parties as necessary.

C. If the Director of Operations has good reason to believe the PIC

cannot contact him, and that one of the occurrences requiring notification

has ha ppened, he will immediately notify the FAA ROC

. This notification

may be through the FAA (ATC or FSDO), if possible; or may be direct to

the NTSB, if necessary.
