Many other countries world-wide have already expressed interest in aligning their training with the syllabi for the various JAA. licences. These syllabi and the regulations governing the award and the renewal of licences are defined by the JAA’s licensing agency, known as “Joint Aviation Requirements-Flight Crew Licensing”, or JAR- FCL. The introduction of JAA licences is, naturally, accompanied by associated JAR-FCL practical skill tests, (tests of flying ability) and theoretical knowledge examinations corresponding to each level of licence: Private Pilot Licence (PPL), Commercial Pilot Licence (CPL), CPL with Instrument Rating and Air ‘Transport Pilot Licence (ATPL). The JAR-FCL skill tests and the ground examinations, though similar in content and scope to those conducted by many national authorities, are inevitably different in detail from the tests and examinations set by any individual JAA member state under its own national scheme. Consequently, students who wish to train for JAA licences need access to study material which has been specifically designed to meet the requirements of the new licensing system. As far as the JAA ATPL ground examinations are concerned, the subject matter to be tested is set out in the ATTPL training syllabus contained in the JAA publication, ‘JAR-FCL 1 (Aeroplanes)’. Inevitably, this syllabus represents a compromise between the differing academic contents of the national ATPL training, syllabi it replaces. Thus, it follows that the advent of the new examinations has created a need for completely new reference texts to cover the requirements of the new syllabus. This series of manuals, prepared by Oxford Aviation Training and published by Jeppesen, aims to cover those requirements and to help student pilots prepare for the JAA ATPL theoretical knowledge examinations. Oxford Aviation Training (OAT) is one of the world’s leading professional pilot schools. It has been in operation for over thirty years and has trained more than 12,000 professional pilots for over 80 airlines, world-wide. OAT was the firs pilot school in the United Kingdom to be granted approval to train for the JAA ATPL. As one of the most active members of the European Association of Airline Pilot Schools, OAT has been a leading player in the pan-European project to define, in objective terms, the depth and scope of the academic content of JAA ATPL ground training as outlined in ‘JAR-FCL 1 (Aeroplanes)’ OAT led and coordinated this joint-European effort to produce the JAA ATPL Learning Objectives which are now published by the JAA itself as a guide to the theoretical knowledge requirements of ATPL training. In less than two years since beginning JAA ATPL training, and despite the inevitable teething problems that national aviation authorities have experienced in introducing the new examination system, OAT has achieved an unsurpassed success rate in terms of the passes its students have gained in the JAA ATPL examinations. This achievement is the result of OAT’s whole-hearted commitment to the introduction of the new JAA licensing system and of its willingness to invest heavily in the research and development required to make the new system work for its students. OAT has not only been at the forefront of the effort made to document JAA ATPL theoretical knowledge requirements, but it has also produced associated academic notes of the highest quality and created computer-generated and web-based ATPL. lessons which ensure that its students are as well-prepared as possible to succeed in the ground examinations, OAT’s experience and expertise in the production of JAA ATPL training material make this series of manuals the best learning material available to students who aspire to hold a JAA ATPL. continued... Jeppesen, established in 1934, is acknowledged as the world’s leading supplier of flight information services, and provides a full range of print and electronic flight information services, including navigation data, computerised flight planning, aviation software products, aviation weather services, maintenance information, and pilot training systems and supplies. Jeppesen counts among its customer base all US airlines and the majority of international airlines world-wide. It also serves the large general and business aviation markets The combination of Jeppesen and OAT expertise embodied in these manuals means that students aiming to gain a JAA ATPL now have access to top-quality, up-to-date study material at an affordable cost Manuals are not, of course, the complete answer to becoming an airline pilot. For instance, they cannot teach you to fly. Neither may you enter for the new JAA ATPL theoretical knowledge examinations as a “self-improver” student. The new regulations specify that all those who wish to obtain a JAA ATPL must be enrolled with a flying training organisation (FTO) which has been granted approval by a JAA- authorised national aviation authority to deliver JAA ATPL training. The formal responsibility to prepare you for both the flying tests (now known as “skill tests”) and the ground examinations lies with your FTO. However, these OAT/Jeppesen manuals represent a solid foundation on which your formal training can rest For those aspirant airline pilots who are not yet able to begin formal training with an FTO, but intend to do so in the future, this series of manuals will provide high-quality study material to help them prepare themselves thoroughly for their formal training. The manuals also make excellent reading for general aviation pilots or for aviation enthusiasts who wish to further their knowledge of aeronautical subjects to the standard required of airline pilots. At present, the JAA ATPL theoretical knowledge examinations are in their infancy. ‘The examinations will inevitably evolve over the coming years, The manuals are supported by a free on-line amendment service which aims to correct any errors and/or omissions, and to provide guidance to readers on any changes to the published JAA ATPL Learning Objectives. The amendment service is accessible at http://www.oxfordaviation.net/shop/notes.htm OAT’s knowledge of and involvement in JAR-FCL developments are second to none. You will benefit from OAT’s expertise both in your initial purchase of this text book series and from the free amendment service. OAT and Jeppesen have published what they believe to be the highest quality JAA ATPL. theoretical knowledge manuals currently available. ‘The content of these manuals enables you to draw on the vast experience of two world-class organisations, each of which is an acknowledged expert in its field of the provision of pilot training and the publication of pilot training material, respectively. We trust that your study of these manuals will not only be enjoyable but, for those of you undergoing, training as airline pilots, will also lead to success in the JAA ATPL ground examinations. Whatever your aviation ambitions, we wish you every success and, above all, happy landings.

MASS DEFINITIONS: Basic Empty Mass (Basic Mass) is the mass of an aeroplane plus standard items such as: unusable fuel and other unusable fluids; lubricating oil in engine and auxiliary units; fire extinguishers; pyrotechnics; emergency ‘oxygen equipment; supplementary electronic equipment. Dry Operating Mass (D.0.M.) is the total mass of the aeroplane ready for a specific type of operation excluding all usable fuel and traffic load. The mass includes items such as:- (i) Crew and crew baggage (ii) Catering and removable Passenger service equipment (ii) Potable water and lavatory chemicals (iv) Food & beverages Operating Mass (OM) is the DOM plus fuel but without traffic load.

PROCEDURE FOR MASS AND BALANCE CALCULATION (FIG 2.4) 2.1 Record the Basic Empty Mass and Moment under the Basic Empty Condition block, he moment must be divided by 100 to correspond to ‘Useful Load’ Mass and Moments tables. 2.2 Record the Mass and corresponding moment for each of the useful load items (except fuel.) to be carried in the aeroplane (occupants, baggage). 2.3. Total the Mass column and moment column. The SUB-TOTAL is the Zero Fuel Condition. 2.4 Determine the Mass and corresponding moment for the fuel loading to be used. This fuel loading includes fuel for the flight, plus that required for start, taxi and take-off. Add the Fuel to Zero Fuel Condition to obtain the SUB-TOTAL Ramp Condition. 2.5 Subtract the fuel to be used for start, taxi and take-off to arrive at the SUB-TOTAL, Take-off Condition. 2.6 Subtract the Mass and moment of the fuel in the incremental sequence in which it is to be used from the take-off weight and moment. The Zero Fuel Condition, the Take- off Condition and the Landing Condition moment must be within the minimum and maximum moments shown on the Moment Limit vs Mass graph for that mass. If the total moment is less than the minimum moment allowed, useful load items must be shifted aft or forward load items reduced.

FUEL, TIME AND DISTANCE TO CLIMB Method of Use 1 oN oe Enter graph (fig. 3.1) at departure airfield temperature, move vertically to airfield pressure altitude Move horizontally to intersect fuel, time and distance curves respectively. From each intersection move vertically down to establish corrections of fuel, time and distance for a non sea level take-off. Repeat steps 1, 2 and 3 for cruise altitude and temperature. Subtract results of 3 from values of fuel, time and distance obtained at 4 to obtain fuel, time and distance for climb. Remember range figures are for still air Example from graph (Figure 3.1) Bens Departure airport altitude 2000 ft Departure airport OAT 21°C. Cruise altitude 16500 ft Cruise OAT 13°C From graph Fuel to climb = 15-2= 13 gal Time to climb = 27-3 = 24 min Distance = 50-5 = 45 NAM FLIGHT PLANNING & MONITORING 16
