FLIGHT OPERATIONS
Star Aviation operates the C208EX as a multi-crew cockpit meaning that decision making is shared by both PIC and
FO. The final decisions are made by the PIC, however, should the FO deem the PIC decisions UNSAFE. It is up to the
FO to use the phraseology “Captain you must listen” when appropriate In order to re-stabilize the cockpit gradient.

Flying is done leg for leg and the pilot operating the controls is referred to as the Pilot Flying (PF) The pilot montioring
is known as the Pilot Not Flying (PNF).

Stabilized Approach Concept:

A stabilized approach for an ILS Approach would be:
- Within 2 dots (on 5 do, no cator) of localizer and 1 c glide slope deviation.
- Speed between 140 KIAS and Vref (85 KIAS).
- Aircraft configured for landing (Landing Flaps).
- Vertical speed to be less than 1000 feet per minute.
A stabilized approach for a Visual Approach would be:
- Within "C" of the runway centre line.
- heading within 20° of runway neading
- Or the g ide path (PAP) it glide slope indications are not available)
- Speed between 140 KIAS and Vref (85 KIAS)
- Aircraft configured for landing (Landing Flaps)
- Vertical speec to be less than 1000 feet per minute to 500ft AGL, and 750 feet per minute thereafter.

1. RESTRICTIONS
The following restrictions are a reminder of critical restrictions involved in the Cessna Grand Caravan operation and
more conservative company restrictions. For detailed restrictions please refer to the CAA approved Aircraft Flight
Manua.

Section protection)
 As there are no drawbacks to the practice, if in doubt, use inertial separator after/ during start.
3.3 Taxi restrictions:
 For improved brake life and a more controlled taxi phase, BETA range (up to the point where Ng rises) is to be
used during taxi.
 Reverse may not be used for positioning of aircraft on the ground due to high blade erosion and dust particle
intake nic the engine.
 Hight Idle must be used wherever possible during taxi to ensure less temperature fluctuations on the turbine
section (Hot Section protection).

condition lever position (High Idle or Low Idle) Move condition lever straight to cutoff from stabilized position; do not
pause at low idle.

3.11 Icing:
 Icing conditions exist when:
 Outside air temperature on the ground or for take-off is 5°C or colder and visible moisture is present in
any form.
 There are visible signs of Ice accretion on the aircraft.

3.13 Flight with and without Autopilot

 Autopilot to be engaged in cruise after cruise trim has been set Autopilot may be used for descent but must
be disconnected at 1000ft AGL (500ft for coupled approach).
 When entering a thunderstorm or areas of heavy turbulence the airspeed must be reduced to maneuvering
speed and the Autopilot must be disconnected, or CWS activated to ensure aircraft safety and passenger
comfort.
 Electric trim is not used below 1000ft AGL unless on a coupled approach.

2. COCKPIT FLOWS
4.1 Pre-Flight
The captain is ultimately responsible for the pre-flight.

Revision: Date:26/10/2023 Prepared by: K. Maddison Checked by:

 Page 9 Standard Operating Procedures
Cessna C-208EX Grand Caravan

4.2 Cockpit Preparation

The pilot responsible for the pre-flight inspection must also complete the PREFLIGHT COCKPIT INSPECTION. After all
the activities has been completed, the PF will request < Read the BEFORE START CHECKLIST >

4.3 Engine Start

The PNF will read the BEFORE START CHECKLIST whereupon the PF will respond according to standard call-outs.

Note:

 The PNF has full authority to shut the engine down.

 The Co-Pilot shall shut the engine down immediately at the Captain's command.
 The emphasis is to save equipment and if in any doubt a shutdown will be executed.
4.4 After Start

After the engine has been started, the PF does the after-start scan from memory. This scan includes.

 Start Switch - OFF

 Fuel Boos: Pump - NORMAL
 Avionics 1 & 2 - ON
 Standby Power Switch - ON
 The PF will then request the < AFTER START CHECKLIST>. Once the activities have been completed the PNF will
respond < AFTER START CHECKLIST complete>

4.5 Taxi:
 Before taxiing commences, the PF <clear left> and the PNF <clear right> must confirm that both sides of the
aircraft are clear
 While taxiing the PF will request <BEFORE TAKE-OFF CHECKS TO THE LINE> (Line on the check list)
 If cleared for line-up or at the PF's discretion the <BEFORE TAKE-OFF CHECKS AFTER THE LINE> can be completed
 Both Pilots are to ensure that when a runway or taxiway is crossed, they are clear by PF <clear my side> and PNF
<clear my side>
 A typical Crew Briefing is as follows:
 In the event of a decision to stop below Vr. I will close the PL and simultaneously apply the brakes and
reverse thrust
 If a malfunction occurs after Vr with sufficient runway left, I will close the PL and attempt to land back
using full flaps.
 If a loss of power occurs after take-off, with insufficient runway remaining:

NB. AVIATE NAVIGATE COMMUNICATE

1. Pitch for 85
2. Close Power
3. Navigate 30 degrees Left or Right of nose for best landing option
4. Verify Fuel boost, Ignition ON

4.10 ILS Approach:

 The BEFORE LANDING CHECKLIST to be complete at 500ft AGL.
 In strict IMC conditions it is always the Co-Pilot to call <100ft to minima>. Al minima, it is always the Co-Pilot
to call <Decide> The Captain will respond <Landing> or <Go Around>.
 The PF may call <Going Around> at any stage during the final approach segment.
 See Appendix A for C2088 AWOPS

4.11 High Speed Approach

High-speed approaches are sometimes requested by ATC it is recommended that a maximum speed of 150 KIAS be
used to the Outer Marker. Passing the Outer Marker, the <BEFORE LANDING CHECKLIST> will be requested by the PF
and the aircraft must be configured for landing. This will only be used in visual approaches. In strict IMC conditions a
high-speed ILS is not good practice and arrangements should be made to slow down and stabilize the approach.

4.12 Landing
 Normal flap setting for landing is 30°. Flaps should not be used as speed brakes and should not be lowered at
Maximum Flap Extended Speeds (Vfe). Proper descent planning will ensure flap operation well within
Maximum Flap Extended Speed range. Flap Speeds to be used are as follows:

Max Indicated Airspeed (knots) Flap Setting

150 10°

130 20°

125 (white arc) 30°

 The landing checklist must be complete before 500ft AGL.

 All approaches must be stabilized in the slot by 250ft AGL.
 The cockpit will be considered a sterile cockpit when controlled by Johannesburg Radar or from 2000ft AGL.

Note:

1. For a Non-precision approach in IMC where the minima are above 500 AGL the call-outs will be standard
Non-Precision call-outs, plus a "500ft in the Slot" call-out.
2. For a Non-precision approach in IMC where the minima are below 500 ft AGL. the call-outs will be standard
Non-Precision call-outs. NO "500ft in the Slot" call-out is made as it would interfere with the more important
"400 feet to minima" call-out.
3. Flight Deviation: During the approach, if at any time there is a malfunction, indication, or if the aircraft
departs from the slot the crew who notices the failure, deviation or indication will call it immediately.
