Reason for Emphasis

• 1200 Oceanic Flights/day
• 33 GNEs/year (2006) (Caught in the Act)
• How Many More Corrected w/out Knowledge
• 8 Total AMC Oceanic Incidents (25) (2005)
• Numerous other ATC saves
• DoD responsible for 25 of GNEs w/ only 4 of
  oceanic flights (North Atlantic)
• 90 of GNEs are pilot error

13
Crews Beware!

• Do not take modern technology for granted!
• Crews should be especially vigilant during
  periods of low workload, guard against
  complacency and over-confidence, and adhere
  rigidly to MAJCOM approved standard operating
  procedures.

  terrain (?)
• Consider traffic (SLOP acft below and to your
  right)
• Consider location of divert field
• Offset 15 NM and climb or descend 500 ft (below
  FL410) (Worldwide Nov 2005)

• Both Pilots in the Seat
• Both Pilots on Headset (verse speaker)
• Both Pilots write Re-Clearance
• PNF will Change Master Document
• PNF Clearly Cross-out Old Waypoints
• PNF Re-plots points on plotting chart
• PNF Programs New Clearance in the FMS
• PF independently Checks all PNF Actions
• Waypoints, Distances, Mag Course

  /-?)
• New Domestic Clrn b4 Oceanic Exit Point

40
Re-clearance Procedure
Universal Tables of Tracks and Distances Tables

• 10 Degress Longitude
• Correct for Mag Variations
• Correct for Winds

41
Performance Monitoring

• The horizontal vertical navigation performance
  of operators within NAT MNPS Airspace is
  monitored on a continual basis. If a deviation
  is identified, follow-up action after flight is
  taken, both w/ the operator the State of
  Registry of the aircraft involved, to establish
  the cause of the deviation to confirm the
  approval of the flight to operate in NAT MNPS
  and/or RVSM Airspace.
• North Atlantic MNPSA Operations Manual

42
Degrees of Separation(MNPS/RVSM)
Each one of these deviations is reported to
AF/A3O-A. AF/A3O-A forwards to MAJCOM/DO. MAJCOM/D

  Met Reports at all Position Reports (temp, winds,
  turb, icing)
• Met Reports Upon Request on NATs
• Warning You are Communicating to a Radio
  Operator
• (Script 18_1

45
4 Most Common Errors How to get violated

• FMS input errors of one degree of latitude made
  while inserting a forward waypoint into the
  navigation system.
• Crew is re-cleared on new route by ATC and makes
  a waypoint insertion error (Script 7_1)
• 1 Cause for GNEneed to re-accomplish distance
  checks/Mag Courses
• Dont put FIR boundaries/ETPs in your FMS it
  causes problems with re-route
• Autopilot inadvertently left in heading select
  mode (de-coupled) after avoiding clouds,
  maneuvering, or left in the VOR position after
  leaving the last domestic airspace VOR.
• Errors arising in ATC/Pilot communication loop so
  that controller and crew have a different
  understanding of the clearance.

46
More Common Errors How to get violated

• Aircrew Climbs IAW Flight Plan w/o Clearance
• Beware of Oceanic Clearance Altitudes with
  insufficient range to make the entire crossing
• Playing Poker Step Climb Requests May Not be
  Honored

47
Best Practices

• The Best Practices described in this brief
  apply in any non-radar ATC environment. They
  also apply to the data-link upgraded aircraft.
• These aircraft will automatically tell on you via
  ADS!

48
Pre-flight Duties

• Check NOTAMs for GPS and the NAVAID that you plan
  to use for gross navigation check before
  coasting out
• Plan in advance for a radial/DME cross check
  because over-flight gross navigation checks are
  less accurate due to altitude errors
• When initializing the FMS, ensure the current
  database is installed
• Most long range navigation systems will dump the
  entire route if a navigation database change is
  made even while airborne
• Script 5_1

49
Pre-flight Duties contd

• Ensure that environmental conditions do not
  hinder INS initialization
• Conditions such as high winds, cargo loading or
  inadvertent aircraft movement will degrade the
  navigation solution
• Script 6_1
• Ensure FMS clock has accurate Zulu time loaded or
  correct it

Script 8_1
50
MNPS Best Practices

• Record the initialization position programmed
  into the Long Range Navigation System (LRNS)
• Establishes the starting point for navigation
  computations
• In the event of navigation difficulties it
  facilitates diagnosis
• RAIM Check for Route of Flight (51 minutes RAIM
  loss max)
• FDE (Fault Dectective Exclusion)
• Use Master Document for
• Read back of ATC clearance
• Entering the route into the navigation system (1
  pilot loads)
• Check route in the navigation system (2nd pilot
  checks)
• Plotting the route on your oceanic chart

51
MNPS Best Practices
52
MNPS Best Practices

• Procedures Approaching a Waypoint
• Check (Lat/Long, Mag, Dist, ETE) the Approaching
  Waypoint and Next Point
• Procedures At a Waypoint
• Immediately Check Outbound Track and Distance
• Procedures After Crossing a Waypoint
• Position Report Correctly
• Gross Error Check, 10 min. plot your position
  (Approximately 2 degrees longititude after last
  point)
• Should be Right on the Line, if not Investigate
  Immediately (consider SLOP)

53
MNPS Best Practices Use of the Master Document

• Only one master document should be used in the
  cockpit
• Should be the CFP
• One pilot should input waypoints from the
  computer flight plan
• The other pilot should independently verify that
  the route loaded in the FMC matches the master
  document (Two Pilot Concept)
• If re-route is received, both pilots should be in
  the cockpit to copy - Repeat the two pilot
  process for separate confirmation of all
  waypoints of the new route
• Use appropriate symbology

54
MNPS Best Practices

• Before departure, ensure all of the following
  sources agree
• Computer flight plan, the 1801, and track on the
  plotting chart
• NAT Track Message also if filed on the track
  system
• Plot your ATC cleared route on a suitable scale
  oceanic chart
• Allows for a visual check on the reasonableness
  of the route and on its relationship to the
  Organized Track System (OTS), other aircraft,
  diversion fields, etc.

55
MNPS Best Practices

• Plot your position regularly on the oceanic chart
• Plot approximately 10 minutes after passing each
  waypoint
• Check the present, next, and next 1 waypoint
  coordinates in the box against Master Document
  before making position report
• This will save you if a reroute was issued and
  not input

56

Oceanic Plotting Chart (2)
58
Seat Swap Etiquette

• Immediately before getting out of the seat,
  conduct a professional briefing on the status of
  the flight to include
• Aircraft position and current control agency
• The current clearance and reroute information
• Aircraft maintenance status and its effects on
  mission
• Progress on Master Document and plotting chart
• Mission timing and any contact with command and
  control
• Police your area and take your pro-gear and trash
  with you
• Briefly stick around for any questions before
  hitting the bunk

59
Learn from Past Mistakes

• Each pilot make an independent check of present
  position prior to entering it into the LRNS
• Never relax with respect to cross-check
  procedures (especially nearing the end of a long
  duty day)
• Avoid casual radio procedures remember you are
  probably talking to a radio operatornot an air
  traffic controller
• Before entering oceanic airspace note and record
  the check of LRNS positions at or near to the
  last NAVAID (Gross Nav Check)
• Do not assume that the aircraft is at a waypoint
  because the alert annunciator indicates
  cross-check by reading present position

60
Or you will be doomed.

• Flight Deck Drills. Navigation using automated
  systems is not a task which can be delegated to
  one crew member. The Aircraft Commander should
  always participate in all navigation
  cross-checking procedures
• Before departure, check that the computer flight
  plan, flight plan filed by crew, oceanic plotting
  chart and North Atlantic Track (NAT) message
  agree (if applicable). Note NAT Track
  Identification Number for read back brevity.
• Use an appropriate scaled flight progress chart
  on the flight deck. Periodic plots of position
  on a suitably sized chart and comparing current
  position with ATC cleared track help greatly in
  identifying errors before getting too far off
  track (i.e. GNE).

61
To repeat those mistakes

• Use common sense pilotage. If the magnetic
  heading or distance between waypoints is
  significantly different from the computer flight
  plan then it is probably a good indication of
  tracking or waypoint error
• If a crew suspects that equipment failure may be
  leading to divergence from cleared track, it is
  better to advise ATC sooner rather than later
