Learjet 35 - Critical Malfunctions in Flight; Non-Critical Malfunctions in Flight; Radio Tuning and Communication

Learjet 35/36 Developed for Training Purposes 2C-7
July 2004
Standard Operating Procedures
When the PM calls an abort, the PF announces “Abort” or
“Continue” and executes the appropriate procedure.
Critical Malfunctions in Flight
In flight, the observing crewmember positively announces a
malfunction. As time permits, the other crewmember makes
every effort to confirm/identify the malfunction before initiating
any emergency action.
If the PM is the first to observe any indication of a critical fail-
ure, he announces it and simultaneously identifies the malfunc-
tion to the PF by pointing to the indicator/annunciator.
After verifying the malfunction, the PF announces his decision
and commands accomplishment of any checklist memory
items. The PF monitors the PM during the accomplishment of
those tasks assigned to him.
Non-Critical Malfunctions in Flight
Procedures for recognizing and verifying a noncritical malfunc-
tion or impending malfunction are the same as those used for
time-critical situations: use positive oral and graphic communi-
cation to identify and direct the proper response. Time, how-
ever, is not as critical and allows a more deliberate response to
the malfunction. Always use the appropriate checklist to
accomplish the corrective action.
Radio Tuning and Communication
The PM accomplishes navigation and communication radio tun-
ing, identification, and ground communication.
For navigation radios, the PM tunes and identifies all navigation
aids. Before tuning the PF's radios, he announces the NAVAID
to be set. In tuning the primary NAVAID, in particular, the PM
coordinates with the PF to ensure proper selection sequencing
with the autopilot mode. After tuning and identifying the PF's
NAVAID, the PM announces “(Facility) tuned and identified.”
