Plain English Summary

2/10 complexity

This allows Qantas Airways pilots (ARN 216147) operating Airbus aircraft to use an in‑flight landing distance (IFLD) method—calculating landing distance from real‑time conditions via an Electronic Flight Bag or Operations Manual—rather than pre‑flight worst‑case figures. The computed distance must be multiplied by 1.15 for a safety margin. It aimed to improve operational flexibility and efficiency while preserving safety and was a temporary measure that expired in July 2014.

2 Application

This instrument applies to Qantas Airways Limited, Aviation Reference Number 216147 (the operator), and pilots employed by the operator, when using the Airbus Operational Landing Distance concept, now referred to by Airbus in the Flight Crew Operations Manual as the in-flight landing distance.

3 Directions

I issue the directions in Schedule 1.

Schedule 1 Directions

1 Definitions

(1) In this Schedule:

EFB means electronic flight bag.

IFLD means the in-flight landing distance which is the actual landing distance required for the actual conditions, aeroplane configuration, runway conditions, and aeroplane system integrity using the deceleration devices planned to be used for the landing. The actual landing distance required is obtained by reference to the IFLD data supplied by the manufacturer either through an approved EFB or the aircraft’s Operations Manual.

(2) When in-flight, except in an emergency, pilots employed by the operator must use the IFLD x 1.15.
