Standby A flight crew member is on “standby” when s/he is required to be available to an operator (away from the airport) for assignment to a flight duty period.

During the Window of Circadian Low The “window of circadian low” is best estimated to be the hours between 0200 and 0600 for individuals adapted to a usual day-wake/night-sleep schedule. These limitations apply to the following operations within this window of circadian low: 1. Landing, 2. Flight through both sides of the window of circadian low, or 3. Duty period that starts at 0400 or earlier in the window of circadian low.

The following checklist will be used in the event of unlawful interference (hijack) or bomb threats. INTERFERENCE THE SAFETY OF PASSENGERS AND CREW IS PARAMOUNT AND THE OBJECTIVE IS TO SECURE THEIR SAFE RELEASE When possible, carry out the following: Transponder A7500 ATC INFORM Fasten seat belts ON Cabin Attendant Brief - if possible GENERAL ADVICE In the air Assess the situation to try to determine the intent of the hijacker and modify response as appropriate. Comply with initial demands without prejudicing safety. Negotiate patiently. Do not antagonize. Avoid actions/movements that might appear hostile. Explain before moving any control, switch, etc. Keep passengers calm. Prevent them from intervening. Consider passing information to controlling authorities. If forced to deviate from the assigned track and cruising level, follow the procedures as specified in ICAO Doc 7030 Regional Supplementary Procedures, or if no applicable regional procedures have been established, proceed at a level which differs from the cruising levels normally used for IFR flight by: 500 feet (150m) in an area where a vertical separation minimum of 1,000 feet (300m) is applied, or 1,000 feet (300m) in an area where a vertical separation minimum of 2,000 feet (600m) is applied. Land at a suitable airfield. On the ground EXPECT THE AUTHORITIES TO TAKE CONTROL. Be guided by authorities. Do not take independent action. Make the hijacker do his own thinking. Establish endurance of food, water, sanitary supplies, APU and battery. Transfer to a ground power unit as soon as possible. If possible, obtain air conditioning cart. Maintain hygiene. Keep door, galley and aisle clear of rubbish and equipment. Look after passengers’ health and comfort.
