CREW PROCEDURES
CREW COORDINATION
A large percentage of aircraft accidents have resulted from one or more crew coordination errors
committed before or during the mishap flight. Even when accidents are avoided, poor crew coor-
dination results in inefficient performance and makes peril more likely. Proper crew coordination
reduces the occurrence of errors and can break the chain of errors which lead to accidents and
degraded performance.
AUTOMATION
When the aircraft is on autopilot, the pilot flying (PF) sets all altitudes and headings, but may direct
the pilot monitoring (PM) to perform these actions.
When the aircraft is being hand-flown, the PM sets all altitudes and headings.
Regardless of automation status, each pilot sets his/her own altimeter and crosschecks the other. The
PM is responsible for inputs to the GPS, but coordinates these inputs with the PF. The PM is also
responsible for operating the communication radios unless directed otherwise by the PF.
CALLOUTS
Callouts are challenge-and-response crew procedures which aid the pilots in maintaining situational
awareness and enhance communication between pilots. Each callout requires a response from the other
pilot. If two callouts (challenges) are issued by the PM with no response by the PF, the PM is required
to take control of the aircraft. This is a safeguard against subtle incapacitation of the original PF.
PF AND PM RESPONSIBILITES
The PF is responsible for flying the aircraft, maintaining vigilance outside the aircraft, and managing
the workload of the PM. The PF is also responsible for insuring the selected flight parameters (e.g.,
altitude, course, airspeed, heading, etc.) are captured and maintained. Unless required by a safety
consideration, the PF should avoid tasks which detract from his primary responsibilities by directing
the PM to accomplish these tasks. As a general rule, if the PM can do a particular task, the PM should
do it. This is especially important in close proximity to the ground (i.e., departure and arrival phases).
At times, changing these roles between the two pilots may be required. When this is necessary, the
exchange of control is accomplished as below (This symbol: indicates who initiates the callout).
Changing Aircraft Control "You have the aircraft, "I have the aircraft, I'm outside"
I'm inside"
The PM is required to initiate a callout when the aircraft deviates from acceptable flight parameters.
An example of the PM callout if the aircraft altitude is 4,300’ when the aircraft should be 4,000’:
“DEVIATION, ALTITUDE 4,000’.” The PF would respond: “CORRECTING, ALTITUDE 4,000’.”
STANDARD CALLOUTS
In the tables that follow, some callout challenges and responses do not have the “ ” symbol. This
indicates the pilot who notes the condition first challenges, the other pilot responds.

Introduction
This Special Airworthiness Information Bulletin (SAIB) advises pilots, owners, maintenance
personnel, and operators of an airworthiness concern on all 14 CFR, part 23/Civil Air Regulations
(CAR 3) airplanes. It gives best practices regarding tripped circuit breakers (C/B), inspection and
maintenance of systems, and aging wires. There is a potential hazard when resetting an opened
circuit breaker.
At this time, this airworthiness concern is not considered an unsafe condition that would warrant an
airworthiness directive action under Title 14 of the Code of Federal Regulations (14 CFR), part 39.
Background
On a flight in the accident airplane, the day before an accident, a pilot had a weather radar failure and
a burning smell in the airplane. In response, the pilot turned off the weather radar and manually
pulled the related circuit breaker. The burning smell went away according to the pilot’s entry in the
airplane’s maintenance discrepancy binder. The pilot continued the flight with the circuit breaker
pulled for another hour.
The next day it is likely the pilots reset the weather radar C/B, restoring power to the weather radar
system wiring. This is consistent with routine or the “Before Starting Engines” checklist. Then 10
minutes after takeoff, they announced a problem and crashed about two minutes later. The National
Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) determined that the most likely failure was from the weather
radar and its associated wiring, which would be possible only if that crew reset the weather radar
circuit breaker.
Current guidance for part 25, Transport Airplanes in AC 25-16, Electrical Fault and Fire Prevention
and Protection that has been accepted for small airplanes, is to recommend that no pilot should reset
any circuit breaker more than once. In the accident airplane, we do not know if the circuit breaker
tripped again but, if it did, it was after an uncontrollable fire was started.

c. the affected system and equipment is needed for the operational environment.
4. Revise the preflight checklist to delete “Circuit breakers-In” if applicable and insert: “Check
circuit breakers and if a circuit breaker is not set, do not reset the circuit breaker if there is a
related maintenance malfunction.”
For other types of operating approvals, consider the following for providing power. Assuming
operations under IFR conditions for 14 CFR part 91 or part 135 operations, consider the following
systems as essential for safety:
1. Any electrical loads unique for the airplane characteristics and needed for continued safe
flight and landing for the intended operations.
2. If needed to comply with 14 CFR §§ 23.1323 and 23.1325, one airspeed indicator with a
heated pitot tube and an altimeter with either a heated static pressure source or an alternate
static pressure source.
3. The magnetic compass and any display necessary for continued safe flight and landing that is
sufficiently illuminated for night operation.
7. One clock.
8. Any display for the powerplant parameter necessary for continued safe flight and landing.
The following items should be reviewed by pilots during initial and recurrent training and flight
reviews:
1. Review the circuit breaker reset policy in Advisory Circular (AC) 120-80, In-Flight Fires.
2. A tripped circuit breaker should not be reset in flight unless doing so is consistent with
explicit procedures specified in an approved operating manual or airplane flight manual, or
unless, in the judgment of the pilot in command, resetting the breaker is necessary for safe
completion of the flight.
3. While on the ground, avoid resetting circuit breakers without first exploring reasons for them
“tripping” in the first place, unless instructed by the maintenance manual.
4. Review the indications of hidden fires and the importance of not arbitrarily resetting circuit
breakers.
5. Review the actions required by 14 CFR Section 91.213 dealing with inoperative instruments
and equipment.
6. Include this SAIB in initial and recurrent training and flight reviews.
1. Conduct an electrical load analysis, or make electrical measurements that account for all
electrical loads in probable combinations when installing additional electrical devices.
2. Review standard wiring practices including, but not limited to, wire size, splicing,
routing/clamping issues, loop bend radius, and terminal condition.
3. Replace wires that show evidence of damage due to chafing, fraying, contamination,
moisture, dirt, cracks, overheating, or are crashed or kinked.

Severe windshear is defined as a rapid change in wind direction or velocity causing airspeed changes
greater than 15 knots or vertical speed changes greater than 500 feet per minute.

Total 51
A great majority of windshear accidents and incidents are from convective activity (65% in the chart
above). When discussing windshear, instructors tend to focus on microbursts because they are the
least predictable and most powerful form of windshear.
Avoidance may only involve delaying departure or approach for 10 to 20 minutes since this is the
typical time required for microburst dissipation.
A microburst can occur anywhere convective weather conditions (thunderstorms, rain showers,
virga) occur. Observations suggest that approximately 5% of all thunderstorms produce a microburst.
Downdrafts associated with a microburst are typically only a few hundred to 3000 feet across. When
the downdraft reaches the ground, it spreads out horizontally and may form one or more horizontal
vortex rings around the downdraft. The outflow region is typically 6,000 to 12,000 feet across. The
horizontal vortices may extend to over 2,000 feet AGL.
Conditions associated with these vortices may produce very powerful updrafts and roll forces in
addition to downdrafts. More than one microburst can occur in the same weather system. Microbursts
typically dissipate within 10 to 20 minutes after ground contact. Doppler radar wind measurements
indicate that the wind speed change a pilot might expect when flying through the average microburst
at its point of peak intensity is about 45 knots. However, microburst wind speed differences of almost
100 knots have been measured. In fact, a severe event at Andrews Air Force Base on August 1, 1983
indicated headwind/tailwind differential velocities near 200 knots.
Symmetric Microburst
An airplane transiting the microburst would experience equal headwinds and tailwinds.
NOTE
These guidelines apply to operations in the airport vicinity (within 3 miles of the
point of takeoff or landing along the intended flight path and below 1000 feet AGL).
The clues should be considered cumulative. If more than one is observed the
probability weighting should be increased. The hazard increases with proximity to
the convective weather. Weather assessment should be made continuously.
CAUTION
CURRENTLY NO QUANTITATIVE MEANS EXISTS FOR DETERMINING THE
PRESENCE OR INTENSITY OF MICROBURST WINDSHEAR. PILOTS ARE URGED
TO EXERCISE CAUTION IN DETERMINING A COURSE OF ACTION.
The decision diagram (Figure 25) on the following page is useful after you have evaluated the weather
using Table 1 above.
Any Signs of
Windshear?

Consider Precautions
Note that “Consider Precautions” is one of the boxes in Figure 25. Below is some information on
what precautions you can use. Particularly important is the discussion on using increased rotation/
climb or approach speeds:
PRECAUTIONS
These precautions include consideration of thrust setting, runway selection, flaps selection, airspeed,
use of autopilot, autothrottle, and flight director. Use of precautions should not bias a go/no go deci-
sion in the go direction.
Takeoff
Studies of available takeoff flap setting showed that the greater flap setting provided the best per-
formance for windshear encounters on the runway. However, lesser flap settings show the best
performance for in-air windshear encounters. It must be pointed out that the performance difference
between flap settings is small. Increased airspeed: delay rotation to a higher airspeed (calculate max
takeoff weight for the runway and use those speeds). Initiating rotation no later than 2,000 feet from
the end of the usable runway surface reduces the probability of overrun and maximizes the available
energy after liftoff. If field length limit rotation speed is greater than actual gross weight rotation
speed, use the higher rotation speed (up to 20 knots in excess of the actual gross weight rotation
speed) for takeoff. Airspeed bugs should not be reset to the higher speeds.
WARNING
Approach
In a potential windshear environment, a stabilized approach should be established no later than 1,000
feet AGL to improve windshear recognition capability. Minimize thrust reductions. Use the most
suitable runway that avoids the area of suspected windshear and is compatible with crosswind and
tailwind limitations. A precision (instrument) approach and other aids to glide slope monitoring (VASI,
etc.) are also desirable as they can enhance windshear recognition by providing timely, accurate flight
path deviation information. Increased airspeed on approach improves climb performance capability
and reduces the potential for flight at stick shaker during recovery from an inadvertent windshear
encounter. If available landing field length permits, airspeed may be increased up to a maximum of 20
knots. This increased speed should be maintained to flare. Touchdown must occur within the normal
touchdown zone—do not allow the airplane to float down the runway.
WARNING
During approach, it is desirable to utilize flight director, autopilot, and autothrottles to the maximum
extent practical. These systems may relieve pilot workload, allowing the crew more time to monitor
instruments and weather conditions. However, use of auto flight systems, and in particular the
autothrottle, only provides benefits if properly monitored. In the absence of proper monitoring, these
systems may mask onset of windshear through lack of pilot awareness of control inputs being made.
WINDSHEAR SYMPTOMS
Takeoff/Approach
• ±15 knots indicated airspeed
• ±500 feet per minute vertical speed
• ±5° pitch attitude (or heading)
Approach
• ± one dot glide slope (or localizer) displacement (Not likely to see if coupled to autopilot)
• Unusual throttle position for a significant period of time.
It is vital to recognize that some microbursts cannot be successfully escaped with any
known technique.
NOTE
Even windshears which were within the performance capability
of the airplane have caused accidents. Flight crews must seek
and heed signs alerting them to the need for avoidance.
Like most things in nature, the strength of microbursts follows a normal distribution (bell curve) as
seen in Figure 11 (about 45 knots is average):

WINDSHEAR RECOGNITION
• Recognition of windshear encounters is difficult and is usually complicated by marginal weather.
• Time available for recognition and recovery is short (as little as five seconds).
• Flight crew coordination is essential for prompt windshear recognition and recovery.
Pilot Technique
• Flight path must be controlled with pitch attitude (unusual stick forces may be required as
a result).
• Lower than normal airspeed may have to be accepted to counter lift loss.
Successful recovery from an inadvertent windshear encounter requires maintaining or increasing
pitch attitude and accepting lower than usual airspeed. Unusual and unexpected stick forces may be
required to counter natural airplane pitching tendencies due to airspeed and lift loss. Transport cat-
egory airplanes have considerable climb capability at speeds below normal reference values. A rate
of climb of 1,500 feet per minute is possible, even at stick shaker speeds.
In the windshear encounter cited earlier, available airplane performance capability may not have been
used because of two factors: lack of timely recognition and inappropriate or inadequate response.
Rapidly deteriorating climb performance may not be apparent to the crew unless all appropriate
vertical flight path instruments are closely monitored.
Only 5 to 15 seconds may be available to recognize and respond to a windshear encounter (Figure
16). It is therefore of great importance that a windshear encounter be recognized as soon as possible.
Timely recognition of windshear requires effective crew coordination and appropriate callouts by the
pilot not flying.

PIREPS
PIREPS are extremely important indicators in microburst windshear situations. Reports of sudden
airspeed changes in the airport approach or landing corridors provide indication of the presence of
windshear.
BAD TECHNIQUES
• Attempting to maintain target airspeed does not utilize full climb capability of the airplane.
(This is the most common error seen as a sim instructor.)
• Attempting to pitch directly to stick shaker does not maximize use of available airplane energy,
and results in a degraded flight path and increased exposure to stall.
• Attempting to fly at best lift/drag angle-of-attack does not utilize the short-term maximum
gradient capability of the airplane.
• Retracting flaps during approach recovery (per the normal go around procedure) reduces margins
to stick shaker and has an adverse impact on initial climb capability of the airplane.
• Use of inertial reference ground speed emphasizes control of speed which is contrary to the
recommended recovery technique. In addition, this technique is oriented toward compensating
for the windshear and continuing the approach rather than immediately initiating the recovery
maneuver. While this technique is not appropriate for microburst encounters, it may be suitable
for use in other types of windshears.
• Use of “dive” technique (lowering airplane nose in an attempt to accelerate and pull up at some
predetermined minimum altitude) exposes the airplane to potentially higher intensity horizontal
winds, produces lower minimum recovery altitudes, requires high pitch rates and complicates
the recovery procedure.
