PART A: INTRODUCTION
The purpose of this document is to integrate MALIAN AÈRO COMPANY (MAC) policy with the AFM and POH in
a practical way. This document must be consulted in conjunction with the AFM and POH. Where a discrepancy
exists, the manufacturer’s document shall take preference.
This document incorporates recommended procedures from the Flight Safety Foundation Approach and
Landing Risk Reduction (ALAR) Guide. It follows the MALIAN AÉRO COMPANY flow-checks as well as the POH
Manual.
NOTE: These standard operating procedures will in no case substitute the manufacturers limitations.
1 Documentation
The following documents to be carried on board on an B1900 aircraft.
a) Certificate of Registration
b) Certificate of Airworthiness
c) License for each crew member
d) Aircraft radio license
e) Certificate of Safety
f) Approved current flight manual
g) Approved mass and balance
h) Approved flight folio
i) Approved Minimum Equipment List (as agreed)
j) Operations Manual
k) List of visual signals for use by interception and intercepted aircraft
2 Legend
Items only need to be checked the first flight of the day.
Note: The captain refers to in this document is not necessarily the Designated Commander of the flight. It is
possible for MAC to delegate the First Officer to sit in the left-hand seat and do the captain procedures if only
instructed.
3 Call out
The use of the “two communication” rule is essential to a well-structured multi-crew operation. At any stage
of flight, where a challenge is made and no response is forthcoming, a second challenge should be made. If
there is still no response, incapacitation must be assumed and the PM (the challenger) must take control.
Page 9 of 93
The purpose of standardizing a set of challenges and responses is to ensure that crewmembers have a base line
for determining when the two-way communication rule can be applied and to provide a fixed reference format
that makes flight operations and communications on the flight deck with different crew easier.
The calls outs also ensure that there are no misunderstandings and provide a doorway for crew to question
performance and standards that are below company requirements.
At any time when speed is above/below stated requirement by more than “Check Speed” “Correcting”
10 knots.
At any time when heading varies by more than 10º from heading bug. “Check Heading” “Correcting”
At any time when rate of descent varies from stated requirement by more “Check Rate of Descent” “Correcting”
than 300’/min.
When the CDI needle starts moving in (within 10º of selected radial). “Radial Alive” “Check”
When the localiser mode becomes active. “Localiser Green, Glideslope Armed” “Set Runway
Heading”
5 Configuration change
The PF shall request configuration change. The PM must confirm that the speed/altitude criteria are met before
making the configuration change. The PM must only respond once the configuration change is complete.
Page 10 of 93
“Flap 35” On speed. Selected” “Flap 35 Set”
“Gear Down” On speed. Selected” “Gear Down, 3 Greens”
If the aircraft speed/altitude dos not meet the criteria for the “Check Speed/Altitude”
configuration change
a) Flap retraction: Above 128 knots (VENR in the event of an engine failure) and acceleration altitude.
Nonstandard: Minimum 200ft AGL.
b) Flap 17º: Below 188 knots.
c) Flap 35º: Below 154 knots (Indicated by top of white arc in ASI).
d) Propellers: Any speed.
e) Gear: Below 180 knots.
It is good airmanship to extend gear and flaps below the limiting speeds, not at the limiting speeds.
6 Change of controls
Any time that control of the aircraft is transferred from one pilot to the other, the following phraseology shall
be used:
When control is transferred, the pilot handing over control must make the other pilot aware of the intentions
and flight conditions (e.g. bearing, track, altitude, flight director selections and autopilot selections if applicable.
7 Power levels
During taxi and in-flight, the power levers are always the responsibility of the PF. Only when the PF requests
power changes (e.g. after take-off and for cruise) does the PM adjust the power levers. If the PM notices that
the engine parameters are out of limits during the critical stages of flight, he or she must adjust the power levers
to normal parameters but this has to be communicated to the PF.
During take-off, the power levers are the responsibility of the PF. The PF must keep his or her hand on the power
levers until V1. This enables the PF to initiate the actions for an aborted take-off without delay if it is required.
When requested by the PF, the PM must set power for take-off during the take-off roll. While power is being
set, the PF must place his hand lightly on the top of the power levers. The PM is to set power within 10 seconds
and without obstructing the power levers in the event of an aborted take-off. Once power is set, the PM must
remove his hands from the power levers, unless an adjustment must be made.
Care must be taken when setting the required torque. All engine instruments must be monitored during and
after setting desired power. Torque may “creep” to a higher setting, resulting in an engine parameter
exceedance.
Page 11 of 93
8 Altimeter and altitude clearance
When the PM obtains an altitude clearance, he or she must write it down on the operational flight plan then
select the cleared altitude on the Altitude Alerter. The PM will point to the Altitude Alerter until the PF confirms
the altitude set is correct by verbally repeating the cleared altitude/level.
Altimeter setting will be cross checked whenever the altimeter settings are changed. The PF initiates the check
by calling an altitude or flight level climbing or descending through. The PM must call out any difference that
may exist.
If any doubt exists as to the given clearance, clarification must be requested from ATC immediately.
In cases where an autopilot is installed, to provide desired flight path requests to the autopilot.
The use of the Flight Director (FD) is encouraged as it reduces pilot workload, especially during critical phases
of flight and emergencies. The correct use of the FD is, however, very important. Always ensure the correct
modes are selected, and ensure that both crew members have the same FD selections.
To assist in ensuring that the selections on both Flight Directors are the same during all stages of flight, FD
selections must be called out by the PF. The PM must only respond once the selection has been made, as shown
below:
Each pilot is responsible for his/her own FD selections. It is the responsibility of the PF to communicate the
selection to the PM
Page 12 of 93
11 Avionic & EHSI Set Up
Nav 1 and 2 active frequencies must be the same at all times except when selecting ILS as per the calls out of
the Precision Approach (ILS CAT1) of the procedure on page 61 of these Standard Operating Procedures. Com
1 is used for ATC. Com 2 is used for ops/ATIS/IFBP over Africa/secondary ATC.
a) Heading bugs to the cleared heading/heading required to route to the cleared position.
b) Active course bars to current track that is being flown, until cleared for the approach. Once cleared for
the approach, the inbound course must be selected.
c) Pre-select course bars to the final inbound course. Once cleared for the localizer intercept, the
preselected course must be transferred and the ILS frequency set to active.
If weather is present, the PM must have the weather radar turned on with arc/map mode selected as the active
screen.
Strobe lights have to be switched on from the moment the aircraft enters the runway until the aircraft vacates
the runway. The strobes should remain on throughout the flight to make the aircraft more visible to other
traffic. The only exception is when flying in IMC, and the strobes reflect back into the cockpit. The “FLT” selection
of the beacon must be switched on and off in conjunction with the strobe lights.
Landing lights are to be switched on upon receiving take-off clearance (even if the aircraft is not on the runway
yet), and switched off passing FL100, climbing. During the descent, the landing lights must be switched on
passing FL100, descending, and switched off when vacating the runway.
In certain conditions (e.g. at night in poor visibility), the landing lights and taxi light could impair visibility. Crew
must use their own discretion in these situations. It may be advantageous to leave these lights off for landing.
While on the ground before take-off, the PF will switch the landing lights on to acknowledge that take-off
clearance is received.
Tail flood lights are only to be used at night. They are switched on with recognition lights, and switched off
passing FL100, climbing. They are switched on again passing FL100, descending.
Recognition lights are to be switched on after start and only switched off after shutdown.
Note: No recognition lights are installed in the 1900 C.
Page 13 of 93
12.5 Taxi light
When taxi clearance is received, the PF will switch the taxi light on to acknowledge that taxi clearance is
received. The PM (as the PF is busy taxiing) must switch the taxi light off during ground operations when the
marshaller is being followed, or when the park brake has been set.
13 Sterile cockpit
Headsets will be used along with boom mike to monitor all conversation with ground agencies and ATC until
top of climb and also when operating in high density traffic areas. Loud speakers may be used during cruise until
top of descent. Thereafter headsets with boom mike should be used till engines are shutdown. All HF monitoring
will be carried out on headsets including the Oceanic Clearances where both pilots are to be involved.
During any critical phase of flight crewmembers shall perform only those duties required for safe operation of
the airplane. Critical phases of flight are defined as all ground operations involving taxi, takeoff and landing and
all other flight operations conducted below 10,000 feet, and any times at less than 2000ft above MSA, except
cruise flight.
14 Passenger briefing
The passenger briefing will be done by the First Officer, unless otherwise briefed. The following items must be
covered during the passenger briefing:
14.1 Introduction
a) Welcome.
b) Introduce crew.
c) Flight details (destination, flight time, cruising altitude, expected weather).
a) Seatbelts.
b) Tray tables.
c) Seat back.
d) An individual briefing may be required for special needs passengers and his or her “guardian”.
e) The First Officer must ensure that an able-bodied person (ABP) is seated at each emergency exit.
f) After the briefing, the First Officer must walk down the aisle to ensure that the aisle is clear, every
passenger’s seatbelt is fastened, tray table is stowed and seatback is in the upright position. The number
Page 14 of 93
of passengers must be counted and reported to the Captain along with confirmation that the “cabin is
secure and checked”.
15 Cargo loading
The Captain is responsible for making sure that the cargo is correctly loaded as per the Load Plan, and that it is
securely tied down and lashed as per FOM.
a) No person shall board the aircraft without the permission of the crew.
b) No passenger shall disembark the aircraft until requested to do so by the crew.
c) When the aircraft engines are starting and whilst they are running, no person shall stand in line with the
propellers as injuries may be caused by stones deflected by the propellers.
d) All personnel on the ground shall keep a minimum of 10 meters from the aircraft until a crew member
permits them to approach the aircraft.
e) No vehicles or people are to approach the aircraft until such a time as the propellers have come to a
COMPLETE stop and the red rotating beacon has been switched off.
f) No one may walk underneath the wings. Crew must ensure passengers walk around the wings
If more than 3242lbs of fuel is required, the main tanks must be filled first, and then fuel may be added to the
auxiliary tanks.
If there is fuel in the auxiliary tanks, that fuel must be burned off prior to using the fuel in the main tanks.
When fuel has been loaded in the Auxiliary Tanks, the Auxiliary fuel pump switches must remain in the “AUTO”
position.
Page 15 of 93
The maximum fuel imbalance allowed is 200lbs. Fuel transfer between the left and the right sides is not
advisable below FL100, and is not allowed during take-off.
a) Ensure both standby fuel pumps are off. Select transfer switch as required.
b) Ensure “FUEL TRANSFER” annunciator is illuminated. F/O starts timer.
c) Place checklist between power levers to indicate to both pilots that fuel transfer is in progress. F/O
informs Captain of time when transfer is completed.
18 Gravel procedures
All performance data for gravel runway operations are obtained from the 1900 AFM under the supplement
"Hydro-Aire MkIII Anti-skid System and for Gravel Runway Operations", with and without anti-skid installed.
The following procedures must be adhered to when operating at gravel (unprepared) airfields:
a) Ensure area around propellers is clear of stones that may be picked up by the propellers during start (use
a broom if required).
b) No ground fine.
c) No reverse.
d) No manual/auto feather check unless on a hardstand or area clear of FOD.
e) No high idle other than as required during engine start
f) Environmental mode control & bleeds off.
g) Engine anti-ice on at all times.
h) Avoid sharp turns to prevent the nose wheel from "digging in".
i) Do all checks whilst on a hardstand or suitable area clear of FOD.
18.3 Landing
Page 16 of 93
18.4 Anti-skid failure
Take-off and landing performance is severely affected by the lack of the anti-skid system. MALIAN AÉRO
COMPANY Jungle Jepps provide maximum take -off weights with the anti-skid operative (if installed) and
inoperative. The QRH also provides information for both conditions. These must be strictly adhered to.
19.1 Objectives
Brief beforehand from what altitude to start the spiral, what reference point to use and which direction to spiral.
It is recommended to only commence a spiral descent overhead the airfield, but is dependent on security and
traffic at the airfield.
19.2.2 Spiral
A thorough briefing must be done by the crew covering the procedure and where the spiral climb will be. ATC
has to be advised of intentions prior to departure.
Page 17 of 93
20 TAWS (If installed)
a) The TAWS may never be inhibited in IMC, unless it is unserviceable. G/S may only be inhibited during a
visual approach.
b) When “FLAP OVERRIDE” is required, this mode has to be inhibited on the TAWS. The TAWS may not be
used as a navigational aid.
c) The TAWS may not be used as a primary means of terrain avoidance. The TAWS test must be completed
during the first flight of the day.
a) After start, during the Captain’s initial flow the TAWS must be inhibited to avoid unwanted terrain
warnings during the take-off roll.
b) The TAWS must be re-activated when climb power is set as per the climb sequence.
c) For departure, unsure the TAWS display is such that it is very clear that the TAWS have been inhibited.
d) During the approach, once in the slot at 500ft and with the field in sight, the TAWS must be inhibited to
avoid unwanted terrain warnings during the final approach and landing.
21 CHECKLIST PHILOSOPHY
The MALIAN AÉRO COMPANY flows and checklist are based on Beechcraft procedures as laid out in the AFM.
All the checks are done as flows at required stages of flight. The appropriate checklist is then called for and
completed in a standard Challenge and Response format.
The FO/PM will call “…Checklist Complete” once the checklist has been correctly
responded to and once all items have been attended to. When a checklist is only done up to a line break, the
FO/PM will call “… ............. Checklist to the line”. To continue the flows, the Captain/PM only needs to request
“Below the Line”.
When the pilot responding to the checklist checks the status of that item, the annunciation/gMare for that item
must be checked. If there is no annunciation/gMare for an item installed, the status of the switch must be
checked. For example: when confirming flaps are set correctly both pilots should look at the flap gMare, not the
flap selector.
The crew co-ordination is such that reference is made to CAPTAIN and F/O when the aircraft is parked (Park
brake set). During such times the F/O will challenge the Captain from the checklist and the Captain responds.
As soon as the aircraft moves (park brake off) the dynamics change to PF and PM. During these phases the PM
makes the checklist challenges and the PF gives the response.
As the Checklist is a ‘Challenge and Response’ and not an ‘Action’ checklist (read and do), it is to be used AFTER
all the procedures have been accomplished by memory (flow) and is meant as a last chance check to ensure
that the most important safety items have been correctly carried out.
The checklist is to be used as a ‘Challenge and Response’ checklist except for the After Take Off and After
Landing Checklists which do not require a response from the PF but are completed half voice by the PM.
“AS REQUIRED” means that you must answer the status of the switch or item, i.e. “ON” or “OFF” not “AS
REQUIRED”.
First/last flight of the day times should be omitted if it is not the first/last flight of the day.

The Equipment Check, Cockpit Safety Check, Cockpit Systems Check and Initial Cockpit Preparation only need
to be done on the first flight of each day, or when a crew/aircraft change occurs. The Captain must sign the
flight folio prior to the first flight to show that these checks were done and the aircraft is serviceable.
A complete, thorough external pre-flight inspection must be done by the First Officer before the first flight of
the day. Refer to the “NORMAL PROCEDURES” section of the pilot’s checklist. As a good pre-flight habit, all the
covers and bungs should be removed first then the pre-flight inspection should be done.
Page 25 of 93
Prior to every subsequent flight, the First Officer must complete an abbreviated external pre-flight inspection,
and ensure that the cabin is in good order to receive the passengers for the next flight. As far as practical, prior
to every flight, the Captain must ensure that the areas around the propellers are clear of any FOD.
25.2 Oxygen
The following gives more detail of what should be briefed. Anything that is not applicable should be omitted.
26.1.1 Review speeds and take off card with first officer
Page 26 of 93
26.1.2 Review differences if applicable
The First Officer will always prepare the TOLD card, and the Captain will always brief the TOLD card. By doing
this, the validity of the TOLD card is verified by both pilots.

will bring the aircraft to a stop and set the park brake. We will assess the situation and if an evacuation becomes
necessary we will command the evacuation, notify ATC and complete the emergency shut down on the ground.
In the event of a decision to stop before V1 we simultaneously close the power levers and apply brakes as
required.

On positive climb, gear up.
a) At. (Airfield elevation + 400 FT) we lower the nose and accelerate to KTS (VENR) and call for flap zero.
b) In case of engine failure, you will verify auto feather. If no auto feather, you will call out “no auto feather”
and we manually feather the propeller.
The engine in operative flight path will climb to X FT turn into HDG……… and climb to MSA ........... FT contacting
ATC and complete the checklists.
Note: Once established on track and above 1500’ consider it to be in a safety window only then follow a risk
management model. For the normal departure, a brief departure plate if required.
a) Reduce to a minimum time that the passengers must remain in an unpowered and un-airconditioned
aircraft.
b) The briefing should be completed before the passengers arrive. Alternatively, the briefings may be
completed between starting the right and left engine.
c) On completion of the briefings complete the PREFLIGHT CHECKLIST

28.1 Starting
Engine start must occur with both crew members in the cockpit, with the doors closed. The highest ITT during
start must be recorded in the operational flight plan by the F/O. The F/O must start his or her timer when the
starter motor is engaged, and stop and reset it when the starter is switched off.
To prevent high ITT’s during start, the following procedures are recommended:
a) Ensure that the aircraft is parked into wind prior to shut down and for the next start.
b) Delay the feathering of the propellers during shutdown to allow more cooling effect from the propellers.
c) Only introduce fuel when the ITT is below 200ºc. Motor the engine if required to achieve this.
d) Do not exceed the 20 second starter limitation (unassisted).
e) Do not introduce fuel below 12% N1.
f) Allow the engines to cool down prior to starting. This may mean delaying the start and departure if a start
is aborted, crew must follow the “ENGINE CLEARING OR RESTART” Checklist in the Normal section of the
Raytheon Beechcraft Pilot’s Checklist. All starter limitations are clearly indicated in this checklist. Ensure
that the battery is being charged (GPU or another engine) prior to following this checklist. The F/O must
time any clearing cycles and starter cool-down periods.

Only brakes may be used for speed management during taxi. Except for an emergency, no reverse or ground
fine is allowed during taxi. On the B1900D the propellers must be in the taxi position during all ground
operations, except for take-off.
The EFIS & standby horizon may not be switched on or off while the aircraft is moving. The standby horizon may
not be caged or uncaged while the aircraft is moving.
The “MAN COOL” function may be used on the ground in extremely hot conditions to allow for quicker cabin
cooling for passenger comfort.
The order in which the taxi checks are done prior to approaching the holding point may be adapted to
accommodate the taxi path. For example, the control check may be done before the instrument check. The
instrument check can then be done when there is a turn in the taxi path.
A take-off review is only required if take-off conditions change (e.g. runway, departure, take-off weight, etc.).
PF : “Control check”
PM : (Rolls the yoke to the left) “To the left”
Captain : “Up on the left”
First Officer : “Down on the right”
PM : (Rolls the yoke to the right) “To the right”
Captain : “Down on the left”
First Officer : “Up on the right”
PM : (Pulls the yoke toward himself/herself, then rolls the yoke fully left and right) “Full and
free”
When entering or crossing a runway the strobes must be switched on. Prior to entering or crossing a runway or
taxiway, the PF will check that his/her side is clear of traffic, and say “Clear left/right”. The PM will then check
that his/her side is clear of traffic and respond “Clear left/right”.
Page 37 of 93
30.5 Engine system checks
Full engine system checks must be done at the first flight of the week. Depending on the area of operation, this
might fall on a Saturday or Sunday.
When full system checks are done, a max power take-off must also be done.
The engine system checks may be done from the QRH. The F/O reads the items to be done and the
Captain carries the items out (action list). It is recommended that crew perform the system checks from memory
once they are familiar with them. All system checks must be done in an area clear of foreign objects. This may
mean that these checks need to be done in an area other than the holding point.
The TCAS & strobes have to be switched on when entering the runway, even if a long backtrack is expected. The
remaining checks to be done when line up clearance is received may be delayed until the backtrack is almost
complete, to ensure longer cooling of the cabin & less wear & tear on the ice protection systems.

32 Take off
a) Regulated take-off weights must be calculated by the Captain and verified by the First Officer prior to
each flight. The AVIATION QRH, QRH supplements or AFM must be used in conjunction with
Jeppesen/Jungle Jepps information.
b) All take-offs must be timed. In the event of an engine failure, the 5 minutes maximum power limitations
must then be adhered to.
c) Reduced power take-offs must be done whenever possible.
d) 1 in every 25 take-offs must be a maximum power take-off. To ensure this, every first take-off of the
week must be a maximum power take-off. Taking-off from a gravel/contaminated airfield with engine
anti-ice on is considered a maximum power take-off.
e) Reduced power take-offs are not allowed on gravel, contaminated or wet runways. Use applicable take-
off data for surface type or condition. On runways contaminated by snow or a flap 17º, engine anti-ice
on, maximum power takeoff must be done. If anti-skid is installed, it must also be on for take-off. Use
applicable contaminated runway take-off data. Rolling take-offs are preferred provided runway length
permits. If runway length is a limiting factor for the take-off, brake may only be released once power
for take-off is set.
f) Rolling take-offs are compulsory on gravel runways unless the take-off commences from an area clear
of FOD.
i) Intersection take-offs are only allowed if the take-off is not runway length limited and if the excess runway is not
needed to clear obstacles after take-off in the event of an engine failure.
ii) The static torque calculated from the QRH/AFM must be set:
iii) Within 10 seconds of commencing the take-off if it is a rolling take-off.
iv) Prior to brake release if it is not a rolling take-off. (See AFM Page 4.24 for recommended procedures for setting
power for take off).
g) Once static torque is set, it does not have to be re-adjusted for ram air effect. The static torque calculation
already takes this into consideration. Engine gauges must, however, be monitored by the PM to ensure
no parameters are exceeded.
h) Acceleration altitude must be between 400ft or higher as permitted by obstacle clearance heights
ensuring a minimum obstacle clearance of 35ft (ICAO PANS OPS DOC 8168)
i) Flap retraction may occur at any time during or after the climb sequence, but not before.
j) The engine inoperative flight path must be constructed to ensure obstacle clearance in the event of an
engine failure. Single engine flight paths may be published in the Mali Aero Company Jungle Jepps. If
there is a possibility of wind shear on departure, calculated VR and V2 at the maximum take-off weight
available for the present conditions (Note: There are special procedures for wind shear after takeoff).
Consider a maximum power, flap 17º take-off if runway length is limiting. If doubtful, delay the takeoff.

Cruise climb technique as per the AFM should be implemented as far as practical:
If the above settings produce an unacceptable rate of climb for the planned flight level, a lower flight level
should be chosen. If this is not practical, a maximum climb ITT of 760ºc may be used. This should be reported
to operations as soon as practical. If operational requirements dictate a higher ITT for climb (e.g. to land before
sunset, FDP exceedance, med-evac, etc.), climb power is limited to an ITT of 760ºc. This should not be
considered as a normal event, and should be limited to only when operational needs require it.
34.1 Cruise
Cruise power must be set according to published figures from the POH. The QRH contains High Speed,
Intermediate and Long-Range Cruise settings from the POH for easy reference.
a) 1,000ft prior to levelling off, the PM must obtain the outside air temperature and determine the cruise
settings from the QRH. These settings (torque, RPM, fuel flow, IAS, TAS) must be recorded on the
operational flight plan.
b) When the aircraft has levelled off, both crew members must bug the published cruise IAS.
c) Once the aircraft has achieved this IAS (or when no longer accelerating), the pilot flying can request “Set
Cruise Power”. The PM must then set the RPM and torque as per the published cruise settings. If an
autopilot is engaged, the PF may elect to set cruise power. This must be communicated to the PM.
d) If icing conditions are experienced and the IAS is below 160 knots, the power must be reset to achieve
160 knots.
e) Cruise power must be set at the RPM stated on the QRH. Once cruise power is set, the RPM may be
reduced to 1450RPM to reduce cabin noise. To achieve the correct cruise setting, the torque must not
be adjusted again (except to ensure that torques on both engines are equal).
f) If the cruising level is below transition altitude, the altimeter check must be done in the cruise, and the
after-take-off checklist must be completed before completing the cruise checklist.
NB: Cruise power is limited to High Speed Cruise or an ITT of 720ºc, whichever is least. This may only be
exceeded if operational requirements dictate its use (e.g. to land before sunset, FDP exceedance, med-
evac, etc.). Cruise Power is then limited to an ITT of 760ºc. This should not be considered as a normal
event and is only permitted when operational needs require it.
34.1.2 Turbulence
Turbulent Air Penetration speed in the 1900 is a maximum of 170 knots. If icing conditions are experienced in
turbulence, crew must be vigilant to keep the speed between 160 and 170 knots. If moderate or severe
turbulence is experienced, crew must not exceed the Turbulent Air Penetration speed. Passengers must be
instructed to return to their seats and fasten their seatbelts.

35.1 Approach preparation
Approximately 10 minutes before Top of Descent, the PM must get the ATIS or surface data and complete the
Landing Card. Once the card has been completed, the crew will brief on the approach. The PM may elect to
hand control of the aircraft over to the PM while he or she briefs on the approach. Once the briefing has been
completed, the PF may resume control of the aircraft again. The pilot who will be flying the approach must do
the approach briefing.

35.2 Descent
For airfields with no published MSA or approach procedures, the descent may not go below grid MORA/MSA
unless ground contact is adequate for visual avoidance of terrain.
35.3 Holding
This speed must be reached prior to entering the hold. Although lower speed/power will increase the available
holding time, the fuel gauges will become inaccurate and over-read.
The time must be recorded when entering the hold. Maximum holding time must be calculated, and a diversion
initiated when this time is reached. Ensure planned fuel consumption corresponds with actual fuel
consumption.

36.1 Stable approach
MALIAN Aero Company (MAC) has non-punitive go- around policy. It is vital to initiate a go around if the aircraft
is not “STABLE” or an unsafe situation occurs. No punitive action will be taken against any crew member that
initiates a go around for safety reasons.
In VMC an approach should be stabilized from 500 feet AGL and in IMC no later than the FAF or 1000 feet. A
stabilized approach shall have the following components:
a) The airplane in landing configuration: landing gear down, flaps and checklists complete.
b) The airplane on the landing profile...final approach course and at the correct altitude.
c) For ILS: on course and on glideslope;
d) Visual: on centerline and on the VASI/PAPI (or if electronic or visual glide path is unmasked available, on
a calculated glide path to give approximately 400 feet per 1 nautical mile.
e) Targeted speed is as below
f) Indicated airspeed within ± 5 KIAS of planned target speed.
g) Rate of descent no more than 800 fpm.
h) Engines spooled up (800 ft-lbs). A stable approach will normally require 1000 ft/lbs.
When VMC and below 1,000 feet AGL, or when IMC and inside the FAF, the approach will no longer be
considered stabilized when:
a) The airplane is not fully configured for landing, except the last increment of flaps and prop setting,
b) The airspeed deviates by more than +15 or –5 KIAS from the planned target speed, The rate or descent
exceeds 1,000 fpm, or
c) The airplane deviates more than ± one dot from ILS glidepath/localizer or descends below the VASI/PAPI
more than momentarily.
Deviation from two or more of these criteria shall require a missed approach.
When VMC and below 500 feet agl, the approach will no longer be considered stabilized when:
a) The engines are not spooled up (minimum 700 ft-lbs torque) with final prop setting
b) The flaps are not in the planned and briefed position.
Despite these guidelines, the limits of what constitutes a stabilized approach will always be subject to the
interpretation of the Captain. However, deviation from these guidelines must be communicated to the other
crewmembers.
36.2 Landing
The effect of the propellers going into the ground idle range is very pronounced and has a large braking effect
on the roll-out. If a quick deceleration is required, ground fine should be used at high speed, rather than brakes.
Through 40 knots, only brakes may be used. Reverse may only be used when absolutely necessary.
If directional control cannot be maintained during maximum braking performance, REDUCE the pedal force on
the side opposite to the desired direction of turn. Conventional differential braking techniques will not work.
Page 46 of 93
36.2.2 Landing on Contaminated Runways
Wheel brakes are very ineffective at high speeds on contaminated runways. Use ground fine, and in exceptional
circumstances, reverse thrust to slow down. Prior to using wheel brakes, apply wheel brakes momentarily to
ensure there is sufficient grip. If wheels lock, continue using ground fine and possibly reverse thrust, and test
wheel brake at a lower speed.
If turbulence is experienced during the approach, the approach speed needs to be adjusted accordingly. Add
half the headwind component and the full gust factor to VREF. A maximum of 20 knots may be applied. When
landing in gusty conditions, do not flare for longer than required. Once the nose wheel is on the ground, use
ground fine immediately to dump lift produced by the wings. The flaps may also be selected up on touchdown
by the PM.

Although all flows should only commence once the runway is vacated, wear and tear items may be switched off
on the runway if a long taxi/backtrack is expected prior to vacating the runway. Wear and tear items include:
a) Auto-ignition
b) Engine Anti-ice
c) Ice protection
d) Weather radar
NB: These items may only be done once the aircraft is at a safe taxi speed. The Captain approves these non-
standard actions by saying “Non-standard: My flows now”
a) Strobes, TCAS and landing lights may only be switched off once the runway is vacated.
b) The After-Landing Checklist may only be completed once the runway is vacated.
c) The request for the After-Landing Checklist initiates the standard after landing flows.
38 Shutdown

Once the aircraft is parked and the park brake is set, the
Captain confirms the blocks on time:

Timer .................................START
NB:Propeller levers must be moved to the full forward position once the propellers have come to a complete
stop.
38.1 Shutdown
The avionics require a 1 minute cool down period before shutting down the engines. Avionics fans are on when
the EFIS switches are on. Avionics cool down starts when all the avionics (except the EFIS) have been switched
off. Timers must be started by both pilots once all avionics are off (avionics master switch, standby horizon and
AC busses). During this time, low idle must be selected to allow for engine normalsation prior to shutdown.
After 1 minute, the F/O switches off the EFIS switches, and the Shutdown Checklist may then be completed to
the line
It is good airmanship to park and shutdown into the wind. This will allow for cooler ITT’s during the next start.
In between flights, an abbreviated external post flight inspection must be done by the Captain.
38.2 Turnarounds
Minimum turn-around time between shutdown and start-up will not be less than 30 minutes.
The aircraft must be chocked properly after landing. If there are no chocks available, one of the crewmembers
must remain with the aircraft until such time that chocks are found and the aircraft is secured. The pogo stick
must also be installed when the aircraft is parked.
After the last flight of each day, the control locks must be fitted. Whenever the aircraft is parked in strong wind
conditions, the control locks must be fitted, and the pogo stick removed.
After the last flight of the day, the doors must be closed and locked (when possible). If the aircraft is not lockable,
security tape must be applied before leaving the aircraft.
After the last flight of each day both main wheels must be chocked, and the park brake should be left off. If
necessary the aircraft must be tied down.

40.1.1 Purpose
The monitored approach allows for the Captain to monitor and manage the entire approach. This becomes very
useful during poor weather and at busy airfields with complex approach procedures. As PM, the Captain is able
to manage ATC, aircraft systems, weather avoidance, icing and navigational setup while monitoring first officer
performance and aircraft flight path.
During the final stages of the approach, the Captain also has opportunity to look for visual references, allowing
his or her eyes to focus outside. Once the Captain has the runway in sight, he or she can take control and
Page 51 of 93
execute a safe landing. This avoids the pilot flying the approach having to look outside at minima, searching for
the runway while still controlling the aircraft.
The monitored approach procedure is suitable for all precision (ILS) and non-precision approaches. A monitored
approach is compulsory under any of the following conditions: RVR/visibility is less than 5000m. Ceiling is less
than 1000ft.
If the weather condition at destination dictate a monitored approach, the Captain will delegate the First Officer
to act as the Pilot Flying (PF) throughout these phases, controlling the aircraft by means of the autopilot, if
installed. The First Officer must be the PF prior to Top of Descent so that he can conduct all the required
briefings.
Some approaches have minimum speeds which may not allow the aircraft to be fully configured when required.
In this case, configuration may be delayed to accommodate the speeds. Configuration must be completed and
landing checklist completed as soon as the speed restrictions allow. In any event, the latest the aircraft must be
configured and landing checklist completed is 500 ft to DA/MDA.
Non-precision approaches are more challenging than precision approaches. It may call for level flight close to
the ground in the landing configuration, and its construction is never standard.
To make a non-precision approach easier to fly, the following must be applied for straight in approaches:
a) The aircraft must be fully configured and the landing checklist complete before the final approach fix
(FAF), or before the final descent commences. It is recommended that the aircraft is configured before
the intermediate approach fix (IF).
b) From commencing the final descent at the FAF, fly the correct rate of descent for the corresponding
ground speed. Ensure that during this part of the approach the flight parameters remain “in the slot”.
Make use of the VS mode to aid in maintaining a stable approach.
c) Where check heights are published, the captain must call out distance and check heights, and any
deviation more than 50ft. The First Officer must respond to these calls and correct if the deviation is more
than 50ft.
d) When reaching MDA, a decision must be made by the captain to go around or land.
e) No level flight to the missed approach point (MAPt) is permitted.
f) If the captain has sufficient visual cues prior to reaching MDA, he or she may take control and land.
g) During the missed approach, fly to the MAPt first, before complying with the missed approach procedure.
h) For cloud break procedures that require a circle to land, the following differences apply:
i) The “circle to land” minima must be used at the MDA.
j) When reaching MDA, fly to the MAPt at MDA until sufficient visual cues exist to visually position the
aircraft for landing.
k) The Captain mat elect to take control before reaching the MAPt if sufficient visual cues exist to visually
position the aircraft for landing.
Page 52 of 93
40.1.5 Responsibilities of the Captain (PM)
The captain is responsible for monitoring the instruments, aircraft progress, approach charts, ATC instructions,
approach-aid-status and weather reports. The captain is also responsible for all frequency changes and facility
identification, where required.
On passing the Outer Marker, FAF or equivalent point, the Captain will call out the crossing altitude shown on
the approach plate and cross check the actual altitude. He or she will also cross check both pilots’ panels for
flags or warnings.
On a precision approach, this check is extremely important. This confirms the QNH is set correctly, the false
glide-slope is not being flown, and the altimeters are accurate. If any significant discrepancy is observed, a go
around must be initiated, and the reason for the discrepancy determined.
If the reported RVR is below the landing minima for the approach at this point, a go around must be initiated. If
the RVR is reported to below the landing minima for the approach after passing this point, the approach may
be continued. If no outer marker or equivalent exists, 1000ft must be used to complete the above procedures.
40.1.7 Landing
In order to be ready to assume duty as PF, the Captain must place his or her hands and feet lightly on the flight
controls. This must be done by at least 500ft above DA/MDA. The Captain must resist any temptation to fly the
aircraft until control is assumed from the First Officer. The First Officer controls the aircraft with reference to
flight instruments down to DA/MDA and remains “on instruments” until touchdown.
Approaching DA/MDA, the Captain must look for visual references to the runway, and monitor aircraft flight
instruments.
When the First Officer calls “Decide”, the Captain must make an immediate decision whether to land, or go
around.If the Captain decides to land, he or she takes control of the aircraft and lands. The decision to take
control may be made before the MDA/DA provided the Captain has the runway in sight. If the runway is in sight
before 500ft above MDA/DA, he or she may instruct the First Officer to land, provided the First Officer agrees.
If the Captain decides to go around, the First Officer remains in control of the aircraft, and executes the standard
go around procedure.
If the Captain loses visual reference to the runway once he or she has taken control, a go around must be
initiated with the Captain as the pilot flying.
The Captain may elect to call for the go around prior to reaching the decision altitude/MAPt if the quality of the
approach is below the required standards.
If there is no response from the Captain when the First Officer calls “Decide”, the First Officer shall commence
a go around, and assume pilot incapacitation.
Page 53 of 93
The Captain may decide to continue as PF for an instrument approach if the weather conditions are above the
monitored approach minima. In this case, the roles of discussed in the monitored approach are reversed but
the responsibilities of the PF and the PM will remain the same.
In the 1900 C, Flap Approach must be selected before the Initial Approach Point.

42 Circling approach
MALIAN AÉRO COMPANY OPSPEC — CATEGORY I IFR LANDING MINIMUMS—CIRCLE-TO-LAND APPROACH
MANEUVER (required for conducting IFR operations).
The Intent of MAC’s Circling Approach Policy is to ensure that all circling approach manoeuvres performed are
done with the highest regard for safety. MACCOM specifies the lowest minimums that can be used for Category
(CAT) I circling approach manoeuvres.
Circle-to-Land Manoeuvres: For the purpose, MAC pilots are authorized to conduct circle-to-land manoeuvres.
In any weather condition, a pilot that accepts a “circle to land” or a “circle to runway (runway number)”
clearance from air traffic control (ATC) conducts circle-to-land manoeuvres. The term “circle-to-land
manoeuvre” includes the manoeuvre that is referenced in various regulations, publications, and documents as
“circle-to-land manoeuvre,” “circling,” “circling manoeuvre,” “circle,” “circling approach,” and “circling
approach manoeuvre.” With regard to pilots, “conducting” a circle-to-land manoeuvre means to act as the Pilot
Flying (PF) when a circle-to-land manoeuvre is being conducted.
Aircraft Operating Under Instrument Flight Rules (IFR) During All Circle-to-Land Manoeuvres. Aircraft operating
under IFR during all circle-to-land manoeuvres are required to remain clear of clouds. If the flight crew loses
Page 54 of 93
visual reference to the airport while conducting a circle-to-land manoeuvre, they must follow the missed
approach procedure specified for the applicable instrument approach, unless ATC specifies an alternate missed
approach procedure.
MAC pilots that have been trained and checked for the circling manoeuvre in accordance with the civil RC OPS
1.E-approved and company training program, may conduct a circle-to-land manoeuvre:
a) At the published circling landing minimums for the instrument approach to be used; or
b) At the minimums specified in the chart contained within the MAC RC OPS.1.E whichever is higher. Note:
Any pilot who possesses a pilot certificate restricting circling approaches to visual meteorological
conditions (VMC) is not eligible to conduct circle-to-land maneuvers except as provided in the last
paragraph.
MAC Pilots conducting circle-to-land manoeuvres without training and checking must use a minimum descent
altitude (MDA) of 1,000 feet (ft) height above airport (HAA) or the MDA of the published circling landing
minimums for the instrument approach to be used, whichever is higher. MAC Pilots that conduct a circle-to-
land manoeuvre under this provision remain under an IFR clearance and must comply with those procedures
otherwise required for circle-to-land manoeuvres. The pilot may conduct a circle-to-land manoeuvre when:
The reported ceiling is at least 1,000 ft and the visibility is at least 5000 m; or
The reported weather is at least equal to the published circling landing minimums for the instrument approach
to be used, whichever is higher.
Documentation Submissions showing that their crewmember training program, approved by ANAC, provides
the appropriate training and checking on circling approaches and that the ANAC has approved circling approach
manoeuvre.
General
There are many emergency procedures covered by the AFM. Pilots must review these regularly to ensure they
remain proficient in that regard.
If the Captain is flying when an emergency occurs and the aircraft is under control, he or she may elect to
transfer control of the aircraft to the First Officer, and then assume the role of the PM. All actions taken during
the emergency must be done in a positive and deliberate manner, and not done with haste.
Only emergencies that require deliberate multi-crew coordination are included in this section. Any other
emergency or abnormality must be addressed using the Pilot’s Checklist.
43 Cockpit management
In the event of an emergency or abnormality, checklists must be completed in the following order, if relevant:
a) Memory items
b) Emergency/Abnormal Checklist Normal Checklist
c) Abnormal Checklist
d) No checklists to be completed below 1500ft AGL as per Beechcraft Procedures.
e) Before continuing with the Emergency/Abnormal checklist, the Captain must “split” the cockpit. The First
Officer must be tasked as the PF, and should be made responsible for flying the aircraft (i.e. Aviate),
maintaining the desired flight profile (i.e. Navigate), and communicating with ATC. The “split” must be
positive and deliberate:
Page 55 of 93
f) Hand over control to the First Officer, if he/she is not already PF, then hand over communications: “You
have the radios. Next call…”
g) Once this is done, the Captain can focus on completing outstanding checklists and managing subsequent
actions. The Risk Management Model may now be completed if desired. Once the emergency has been
dealt with, and normal flight dynamics need to resume, the Captain must re-assign tasks as required.
The PM must carry out the checklist. Items situated on the Captain’s sub panel must be done by the Captain.
Both crewmembers must verify that the correct checklist is being used before carrying out the actions.
The correct technique to carry out checklist items is: PM says the item, example “Bleed air … ENVIR OFF”,
identifies the switch, and then carries out the action.

47.1.1 Evacuation
The “Engine Fire before V1 – Evacuation” flow should be used at any time on the ground if an evacuation is
required. This may include during the taxi or after landing. When stopping, every effort should be made to stop
into the wind.
This is when a take-off will only be aborted before V1 for critical events that will lead to an accident/incident,
which may include, but is not limited to:
This philosophy is applicable for take-offs where the TOFL is equal to the TOFL available, and an unnecessary
abort must be avoided.
This is when a take-off will be aborted for any abnormality. This applicable for take offs where the TOFL is not a
limiting factor, and aborting a take-off will not require maximum stopping action from the crew.
It is up to the Captain to decide prior to take-off whether the take-off is go-orientated or stop-orientated.
If all performance calculations are done correctly, and the correct procedures are followed, the aircraft should
always be able to stop when aborting a take-off before V1.
Flap must only be retracted at or above VENR, but not below acceleration altitude.
Once the memory items are complete, the Captain may elect to hand over control to the FO and complete the
emergency checklist, as some items in the checklist are located on the captain side.
Ensure PM’s hand is on the correct fire bottle: Place hand on affected engine’s fire bottle:
“Affirm” “Bottle Left/Right. Confirm?”
At VENR: Discharge inoperative engine’s fire bottle

The “Single Engine Approach and Landing” Checklist in the abnormal section of the Pilot’s Checklist must be
carefully followed. In case of an attempted approach and landing in weather where the monitored approach
has to be done, it is recommended that crew configure at the same time as the monitored approach procedure
suggests. This will result in a stable approach, from which the Captain will easily be able to land once the runway
is visual.
In the event of a single engine go around, the “Single Engine Go Around” checklist in the abnormal section of
the Pilot’s Checklist must be followed. Acceleration from VREF to VYSE must be done at acceleration altitude or
higher.
Single engine taxi operations have not been demonstrated to provide adequate directional control under all
conditions without power steering installed.
Page 61 of 93
It is essential that flap 17° and gear up is selected before a positive climb indication, to avoid excessive loss in
height or a prolonged transition into the climb. In unfavorable conditions, it is possible that the aircraft will not
be able to climb unless gear is retracted and flap set to 17º.
The key to a successful single engine go-around is proper briefing and preparation prior to the approach. Crew
must ensure that the weight of the aircraft during the approach does not exceed the “Maximum Landing Weight
as Limited by Climb Requirements”, found in the QRH, or the AFM.
The applicable emergency checklist must be completed once the crew and/or passengers are using
supplemental oxygen.

In the event of an engine failure, applying such procedures will not provide adequate power for continued safe

The “Single Engine Approach and Landing” Checklist in the abnormal section of the Pilot’s Checklist must be
carefully followed. In case of an attempted approach and landing in weather where the monitored approach
has to be done, it is recommended that crew configure at the same time as the monitored approach procedure
suggests. This will result in a stable approach, from which the Captain will easily be able to land once the runway
is visual.
In the event of a single engine go around, the “Single Engine Go Around” checklist in the abnormal section of
the Pilot’s Checklist must be followed. Acceleration from VREF to VYSE must be done at acceleration altitude or
higher.
Single engine taxi operations have not been demonstrated to provide adequate directional control under all
conditions without power steering installed.

The key to a successful single engine go-around is proper briefing and preparation prior to the approach. Crew
must ensure that the weight of the aircraft during the approach does not exceed the “Maximum Landing Weight
as Limited by Climb Requirements”, found in the QRH, or the AFM.
This section deals with dressing of oxygen masks in the aircraft by the crew.
Crew co-ordination is required when oxygen has to be used. The PM will don his or her oxygen mask first, then
he or she will take control, and the other pilot will don his or her oxygen mask. Oxygen must only be provided
to the passengers if no smoke or fumes are present.
The applicable emergency checklist must be completed once the crew and/or passengers are using
supplemental oxygen.
Aircraft collision avoidance system designed to reduce the incidence of mid-air collision between aircrafts. It is
independent of air traffic control and flight navigation instrument.

When a resolution advisory is issued, the red arc on the VSI is forbidden, and the green arc must be maintained
until clear of conflicting traffic. The ideal vertical speed to fly is where the green arc meets the red arc from
where the VS comes from. This will result in minimum deviation from original flight path.
The ideal attitude change to achieve the required vertical speed for a Beechcraft 1900 at cruising speed is
approximately 1° for every 400 fpm change required (E.g. if the RA requires 1500 fpm vertical speed, the
attitude change will be approximately 4°).
The PM must call out traffic distance and direction until the traffic is in sight, or when clear of traffic. If a TA
and/or RA is received by the TCAS, and the aircraft is in a turn, wings must be rolled level immediately until the
conflict is resolved.
When a climb or increase climb RA occurs with the aircraft in the landing configuration or on the go-around
phase, the normal go-around procedure should be performed, including the appropriate power changes and
configuration changes.
Following a flight where a RA was generated, an incident report must be submitted to the MALIAN AÉRO
COMPANY Safety Officer. This is not required for a TA.

58 GPWS/TAWS Warning
A GPWS or TAWS alert in IMC or at night must be responded to immediately, and the maneuver must be
continued until the warnings cease.
If a GPWS warning is received during an instrument approach, the standard missed approach must be flown.
Any warning in VMC may be considered as an advisory, provided visual separation with terrain can be
maintained.
If wind shear or a microburst is suspected, or a shear is encountered that jeopardizes safety, initiate a go-
around. The key to recovering from wind shear is to fly the aircraft, so that it is capable of a climb gradient
greater than the wind shear-induced loss of performance.
Any configuration change should only be initiated once a safe altitude (usually acceleration altitude) has been
reached, and a positive climb is confirmed. The positive climb should be verified on at least two instruments.
Leave the gear down until you have this positive indication as it will absorb some energy on impact, should the
microburst exceed the aircraft’s climb capability.
The best wind shear procedure is avoidance. Recognize the indications of potential wind shear and avoid.
Normally, the standard wind/gust correction factor will provide a sufficient margin of climb performance. If the
sink rate is arrested, continue with the above procedure for microburst.
Page 67 of 93
60 Stall recovery
These procedures are applicable for take-off, approach and landing.

60.1 Clean
60.2 Configured
Stall recovery is most effective if the nose is lowered as soon as the approaching stall is recognised, and
maximum available power is applied as quickly as possible. The PF must advance the power levers briskly to a
high power setting. Even if this results in an over-torque or over-temp situation, the PM will adjust as required.
Lowering the nose to the recommended attitudes combined with brisk power application and raising the nose
as soon as speed starts to increase will reduce height loss. Configuration changes must be avoided until clear of
the stall and a climb is established.
If a stall occurs due to icing, very few warning cues will occur.
Stall recovery in icing will require the nose to be lowered to a much lower attitude to see an airspeed increase.
Height must be sacrificed for speed. When raising the nose, do it slowly, and ensure a secondary stall does not
occur.
If a stall occurred in icing conditions, avoid continuing the flight in such conditions as much as possible.
61 Crew incapacitation
Upon the first signs of crew incapacitation, the non-affected pilot must take over full control of the aircraft. In
case of incapacitation of a crew member, the remaining crew member shall as soon as possible call a third crew
member if they are on board the aircraft, or alternatively any able-bodied person. This person must then:
Tighten and manually lock the shoulder harness of the incapacitated crew member, ensuring that his/her arms
are crossed under the shoulder straps.
Ensure the body of the incapacitated crew member cannot interfere with the aircraft controls.
If there is nobody to help secure the incapacitated crew member as above, the remaining crew member must
do this, once the aircraft is on a safe flight path and altitude.
A request should be made for the assistance of any medical practitioner that may be onboard during passenger
operations.
Land as soon as possible. In order to alleviate pilot workload for the remainder of the flight, the remaining crew
member must:
Request priority handling and medical services if necessary. Make full use of the autopilot. Read all checklist
out loud.
Only required crew members are permitted onboard. Do not fly in icing or extreme harsh weather conditions.
Do not retract undercarriage except if required in an emergency. Do not exceed 180KIAS. Avoid excessive pitch
attitudes on rotation and climb out. Do not take-off with a tailwind.
If the gear fails to retract after take-off, the gear down performance data (such as climb, cruise & single engine
service ceiling) may be used to aid the crew to assess whether it is feasible to continue to destination or di.
GENERAL
The purpose of providing procedures for general training manoeuvres is to prepare crew for proficiency checks
and for the initial conversion, where these manoeuvres are required to be demonstrated as part of the initial
and recurrent training.
The turn and VMC demonstration procedures are recommended procedures only
All exercises must start from a reference heading and altitude. Once the manoeuvre is complete, the aircraft
must be returned to this reference heading and altitude.

PART D: APPENDICES
Page 75 of 93
Appendix A: SUPPLEMENTARY SOP
With multiple crews rotating on and off our aircraft, sometimes standards are forgotten or for any variety of reasons,
the standards may not even be communicated. As a result, items get misplaced, procedures are forgotten, and
confusion can occur. This SUPPLEMENTARY SOP is designed as a "housekeeping" document to clarify the standards that
have been and should continue to be maintained in our operations.
Fuel Reserves:
Because of the lack of suitable alternate airports in Mali, Standard minimum fuel reserves for the Beech 1900 operations
shall be 1,300 lbs. Any landing with less than 1,000 lbs. shall require a written report explaining the reason for landing with
less than standard minimum. Exception to this shall be where IFR reserves have been planned and a landing was made
at an IFR alternate.
All refuelling for international flights shall be done on the main ramp by the airport refuelling company. This is to take
advantage of tax fee fuel for international flights.
When refuelling at these airports, take only the quantity needed for the flight as the price per litre is very expensive
in comparison to Bamako’s fuel price. MAC has an account with TOTAL FUEL SUPPLIES so no cash is needed for the fuel
purchase in Bamako only.
Night Alternates:
At all government airstrips there is a landing fee that must be paid to ASECNA. The amount is usually less than
4.000 F/CFA unless there is an overnight, night landing or parking fee added. This must be paid prior to departure.
All ASECNA landing fees in Bamako are automatically billed to the MAC account and paid on a monthly basis.
All persons required to start or taxi MAC aircraft will undergo specific instruction on starting, handling start up
emergencies correctly, shutdown and correct taxi procedures in confined areas.
Captains or Captains in Training shall receive this instruction as part of their initial line training.
All First Officers (FO) required to start or taxi the aircraft without a Captain occupying the left seat position shall have
received instruction from the Chief Pilot on engine starts, potential start up emergencies, shutdown procedures, and
safe taxi procedures.
A minimum of 3 start/taxi procedures under the training of the Chief Pilot or designate, together with a notation
approving this procedure shall be placed on the pilot’s permanent file for insurance purposes.
First Officer taxiing single pilot at night from MAC hanger to main ramp. ............... approval is only granted if two ramp
workers available to guard wings until clear of all aircraft & obstacles.
This policy does not allow for night taxi back to the MAC hanger single pilot for FO's....
but may be exercised if both crews are occupying crew seats to enhance training.

Appendix E: DESCENT POINT CALCULATION
The following procedure is a guide to pilots on how to calculate a descent point which will result in a comfortable descent
profile, allowing adequate time for the cabin to descend, and time for the aircraft to decelerate to configure for
landing.
TECHNIQUE:
CALCULATION:
Height to lose (in thousands of feet) x 3 = distance (in nm) from which descent must be commenced. Recommendation:
Example:
x 3 = 60 nm.
Deceleration: + 5 nm.
Frequently during the descent, the calculation must be redone to ensure the correct profile is maintained. Example:
15 x 3 = 45 nm.
Deceleration: + 5 nm.
If the aircraft is further than 50 nm, reduce the rate of descent. If the aircraft is closer than 50 nm, increase rate of descent.
OTHER CALCULATIONS:
Page 80 of 93
Appendix F: AUTOPILOT
The following serves as a reference on how the autopilot should be used. For more detailed information, refer
to the appropriate supplement in the 1900 D AFM.
Limitations:
The correct autopilot computer must be selected prior to flight. If the PF is in the left seat, the left autopilot
computer must be selected, and vice versa.
Emergency procedures:
FORCES AP YD/DISC TRIM Switch (Red button on control column) ............. DEPRESSFULLY
Do not use the autopilot if the A/P FAIL annunciator is illuminated. Select opposite autopilot if autopilot use is
desired.
The autopilot will disengage when one of the follow events occur:
(Procedures in blue are the normal procedure to use when autopilot disengagement is desired)
AP YD/DISC TRIM Switch (Red button on control column) ....... DEPRESS TO FIRST LEVEL.
EFIS Drive Transfer Switch. .................. SIDE OPPOSITE TO ACTIVE AUTOPILOT SELECTED
GENERAL NOTES:
Do not use the autopilot if the A/P TRIM FAIL Annunciator is illuminated. Illumination of this annunciator means
that the elevator trim servo is not responding to commands from the autopilot. The autopilot will not disengage,
but the electric trim will disengage automatically. In the event of an engine failure with the autopilot engaged,
Page 81 of 93
disengage the autopilot, complete all emergency procedures, retrim the aircraft and then re-engage the
autopilot, if desired. The rudder must be manually retrimmed after every power and configuration change. The
autopilot will not automatically correct an overspeed and stall condition. The autopilot must be disengaged and
the condition corrected manually. The yaw damper will automatically engage when the autopilot is engaged.
The vertical control switch adjusts the following modes in the following increments:
ALT ................................................................................................................... ± 25 ft
IAS.................................................................................................................. ± 1 knot
During CLM mode autopilot will return the programmed climb schedule.
CLM mode provides the following speed schedule: 160 knots up to 10,000 ft, then 2 knots decrease per 1,000
ft above 10,000 ft.
Page 82 of 93
Appendix G: SURFACE DE-ICE
Surface De-Ice:
During icing conditions in flight, the wing surfaces must be monitored for ice accumulation. When the ice
accumulation is 2.5 – 3.8 cm thick, the surface de-ice must be activated to remove the ice accumulations from
the wing.
When activating the surface de-ice (SINGLE selection on the surface de-ice switch), the following annunciators
should be observed: ‘OUTBD WING’, ‘INBD WING’, TAIL DEICE’. If these annunciators do not illuminate, use the
MANUAL selection of the surface de-ices switch. This switch must be held in this position until all the surface
deice annunciators illuminate for at least 6 seconds.
Note: Momentary illumination of the ‘BLEED AIR FAIL’ annunciator may occur during manual boot activations.
Propeller De-Ice:
In visible moisture, in temperatures below 0°C, the propeller de-ice must be switched on. The de-ice ammeter
must be monitored to ensure that the indication is within the green arc.
A lower than normal ammeter reading may indicate a failure of one of the four prop de-ice boots. This could
lead to uneven de-icing of the propeller, which may result in engine vibrations. The propeller anti-ice must then
remain off, and crew must exit icing conditions soon as possible.
PERFORMANCE DEGRADATIONS:
The following degradations in performance were determined with simulated ice shapes installed on the aircraft
to represent ice that could accumulate on the protected surfaces just prior to surface de-ice activation (2.5 –
3.8 cm) and on unprotected surfaces during 45 minutes of icing flight
Page 83 of 93
Appendix H: GPS USE
Modern GPS’s are useful tools that may be used to ensure accurate navigation and easier in-flight re-planning.
They act as simplified Flight Management Systems, and can greatly reduce pilot workload and increase
situational awareness.
However, GPS’s may not be used as a sole means of navigation. The following serves as a guide to pilots on how
to use the GPS in conjunction with other onboard avionics and pre-flight preparation.
Limitations:
May not be used as a sole means of reference during instrument approach procedures.
May not be used as sole means of reference below MSA or Grid MORA.
General use:
When entering waypoints into the GPS, ensure that the co-ordinates in the GPS database corresponds with the
co-ordinates on the OFP/en-route chart/Jeppesen Plate/Jungle Jeppe. – NEVER ASSUME THAT THE WAYPOINTS
IN THE GPS DATABASE ARE CORRECT.
When tracking to a beacon using the GPS, ensure the beacon is tuned, identified and tested and information
from the RMI & EHSI correspond with GPS information.
Do not use GPS ETA’s during the climb – GPS’s use current ground speed to calculate ETA’s.
A couple of degrees track difference between OFP, GPS and relevant en-route chart may exist. This is normal.
When using the GPS as reference for holding, ensure that there is not a waypoint programmed in after
theholding point. The GPS will automatically give instructions to route to the next waypoint once the holding
point is reached. If followed, it will lead the aircraft away from the holding area.
Page 84 of 93
Appendix I: SINGLE ENGINE FLIGHTPATH AFTER TAKEOFF
The propellers may only be in feather for feather checks, and for as short time as possible.
Do not operate propellers in ground fine while the aircraft is stationary. Ground fine should only be used when
needed in taxi to slow the aircraft down.
Take Off:
N1: 104%
RPM: 1700*
Take off power is limited to 5 minutes (yellow arc of the torque and ITT Mares).
A reduced power takes off must be done whenever possible. This is to reduce engine wear and tear without
compromising minimum take off requirements. One in every 25 take offs must be a maximum power take off.
Torque settings for take-off are published in the 1900D MALIAN AÉRO COMPANY QRH. These are static torque
settings, and ram air effect is already compensated for - Slight torque increase further on the roll does not need
adjustment.
*RPM for take-off may be up to 1735 RPM with an oil temperature between 85°C and 90°C. A maximum of 10
RPM split is allowed.
N1: 104%
RPM: 1700
This is the maximum power for cruise and climb as stated by the manufacturer. It should only be exceeded for
take-off, and any emergency that requires it.
MALIAN AÉRO COMPANY SOP’s further limits climb & cruise power to 740°C ITT & 3500 ft-lbs torque, unless
otherwise specified for specific operations. Intermediate/high speed cruise settings should be used during
normal operations.
Max continuous:
N1: 104%
RPM: 1700
This is the maximum continuous power. This should only be exceeded during takeoff, and any emergency that
requires it.
Vle: 180 KIAS (Maximum speed for operation with gear extended)
Fuel:
Maximum fuel in the auxiliary tanks: 621 lbs per tank (1242 lbs total)
Maximum fuel in the main tanks: 1621 lbs per tank (3242 lbs total)
Auxiliary fuel must be burned off in flight prior to using the fuel in the main tanks.

15 x 3 = 45 nm.
Deceleration: + 5 nm.
Another calculation:
Page 88 of 93
Appendix K: ICING
The 1900 D is approved for flight in icing conditions. This however, does not include all icing conditions that may
be encountered (e.g. freezing rain, freezing drizzle, mixed conditions or conditions defined as severe). Some
icing conditions may produce hazardous ice accumulations which exceed the capabilities of the aircraft’s ice
protection equipment and/or create unpredictable aircraft performance. Pilots must exercise caution when
icing conditions exist.
A speed of 160 knots or greater must be maintained in icing conditions. This ensures that ice accumulations do
not occur on surfaces where the ice protection systems cannot de-ice the aircraft. When approaching and
landing in icing conditions, configuration changes must be delayed for as long as possible.
There are two types of ice protection systems installed on the 1900 D: Anti-ice systems & de-ice systems.
Anti-ice systems are used to prevent ice accumulation/ingestion. They need to be activated prior to entering
icing Conditions.
Engine auto-ignition.
Windshield heaters.
Pitot heaters.
If a possibility exists that ice could have formed within the pitot-static system overnight, or a possibility of icing
exists on the ground, these items (except engine auto-ignition and wing ice lights) should be switched on after
start. For Malian AÉRO Company operations, the following items must be switched on prior to take off, and
remain on during the entire flight:
Engine auto-ignition.
Windshield heaters.
Pitot heaters.
Page 89 of 93
Wing ice lights (night operations in possible icing conditions only).
The engine anti-ice must be switched on below 5°C when flight clear of visible moisture cannot be assured. A
torque drop is normal when the engine anti-ice is switched on. The torque may be reset to its original value, as
long as N 1 and ITT limits are observed. If torque is reset, a 5% increase in overall fuel flow will occur.
Note: If the Windshield heaters were left off for take-off, avoid switching them on in flight in very cold
conditions.
This could lead to the windshields cracking due to the sudden increase in temperature.
De-ice systems
Surface De-Ice:
During icing conditions in flight, the wing surfaces must be monitored for ice accumulation. When the ice
accumulation is 2.5 – 3.8 cm thick, the surface de-ice must be activated to remove the ice accumulations from
the wing.
When activating the surface de-ice (SINGLE selection on the surface de-ice switch), the following annunciators
should be observed: ‘OUTBD WING’, ‘INBD WING’, TAIL DEICE’. If these annunciators do not illuminate, use the
MANUAL selection of the surface de-ice switch. This switch must be held in this position until all the surface de-
ice annunciators illuminate for at least 6 seconds.
Note: Momentary illumination of the ‘BLEED AIR FAIL’ annunciator may occur during manual boot activations.
Do not use the surface de-ice below -40°C.
Propeller De-Ice:
In visible moisture, in temperatures below 0°C, the propeller de-ice must be switched on. The de-ice ammeter
must be monitored to ensure that the indication is within the green arc.
A lower than normal ammeter reading may indicate a failure of one of the four prop de-ice boots. This could
lead to uneven de-icing of the propeller, which may result in engine vibrations. The propeller anti-ice must
then remain off, and crew must exit icing conditions soon as possible. Use of propeller de-ice at temperatures
above 10°C may damage the propeller.
Performance degradations
The following degradations in performance were determined with simulated ice shapes installed on the aircraft
to represent ice that could accumulate on the protected surfaces just prior to surface de-ice activation (2.5 –
3.8 cm) and on unprotected surfaces during 45 minutes of icing flight.
