Standard Operating Procedures – Fixed Wing General Operating Rules - Fixed Wing All aircraft operations will be conducted in accordance with all applicable FAR, local and national laws, manufacturers’ aircraft manuals/limitations and this Manual. Aircraft will be operated in an airworthy condition at all times. Aviation personnel are expected to utilize sound, conservative judgment in their approach to their duties. Safe transportation is the primary objective of the Department. Flight Crew Check-in and Post-Flight Period Flight crewmembers shall check-in for domestic flights (North America) no less than one hour and 15 minutes prior to the scheduled departure time. Flight crewmembers shall check-in for international flights (other than North America) no less than two hours prior to scheduled departure time. An earlier check-in time may be designated by the Chief Pilot or by the Trip Captain when, in his/her judgment, the conditions warrant additional time prior to departure. The post-flight period is assumed to be 30 minutes for domestic flights and one hour for international flights. Flight Planning The Trip Captain is responsible for flight planning and related information ( i.e. catering, ground transportation, servicing requirements, reservations etc.). He/She may assign this duty to the other pilot but retains the responsibility for the task. There must be no confusion as to which pilot is to do this function. The pilot accomplishing the flight planning shall make the maximum use of available information and specialized equipment (computer flight planning and commercial weather services) provided by the Department. Normally, the Trip Captain will fly the first leg as PIC (Captain) when departing a Department base. Subsequent legs shall be alternated in accordance with operational qualifications and by mutual agreement.
