Objectives At the end of this lesson, you will be able to: • Identify the need for an oceanic checklist • Identify the components of the oceanic checklist • Identify the need for a dispatch checklist • Identify ICAO guidance and FAA guidance that describe the Strategic Lateral Offset Procedure (SLOP) • Identify industry misunderstandings about the use of SLOP Oceanic Operations and SLOP Federal Aviation Administration SL-2 -SLOP

Overview In this lesson we will discuss the following topics: • The need for an oceanic checklist • Sample dispatch checklist • ICAO guidance for SLOP • FAA guidance for SLOP • Industry misunderstandings about the use of SLOP Oceanic Operations and SLOP Federal Aviation Administration SL-3 -SLOP

Q&A: • Is an oceanic checklist required for international flight operations? Oceanic Operations and SLOP Federal Aviation Administration SL-4 -SLOP

The Need For an Oceanic Checklist • The use of the oceanic checklist is encouraged. It follows an orderly flow for flight planning and oceanic procedures. • Use of the checklist helps to: – Reduce oceanic errors – Increase safety, and – Increase efficiency Oceanic Operations and SLOP Federal Aviation Administration SL-5 -SLOP

Sample Oceanic Checklist • The checklist includes: – Summary page – Expanded explanation of all bullets on the summary page EUR/NAT link: http: //www. icao. int/EURNAT/Pages/EURand-NAT-Documents. aspx – Oceanic Operations and SLOP Federal Aviation Administration SL-6 -SLOP

John Harrison’s H-1 Chronometer • Watch video Oceanic Operations and SLOP Federal Aviation Administration SL-7 -SLOP

AIREP Oceanic Operations and SLOP Federal Aviation Administration SL-8 -SLOP

Sample dispatch checklist • Mirrors the oceanic checklist • Used by those planning flights Oceanic Operations and SLOP Federal Aviation Administration SL-9 -SLOP

Practice Exercise 1 Oceanic Operations and SLOP Federal Aviation Administration SL-10 -SLOP

Q&A: • Does the strategic lateral offset procedure allow pilots to fly left of centerline? • Is ATC approval required for SLOP? Oceanic Operations and SLOP Federal Aviation Administration SL-11 -SLOP

ICAO Guidance for SLOP • ICAO Annex 2 Rules of the Air, Chapter 3. 6. 2 (as amended) • Procedures for Air Navigation Services Air Traffic Management (ICAO 4444 PANS ATM), Chapter 16. 5. 1 (as amended) • North Atlantic Operations and Airspace Manual (NAT Doc 007), Chapter 8. 5. 2 – 8. 5. 5 (as amended) Oceanic Operations and SLOP Federal Aviation Administration SL-12 -SLOP

FAA Guidance for SLOP • SLOP Procedure: – FAA guidance paraphrases SLOP procedures in the Domestic/International Notices to Airmen (NOTAMS) Part 3 International Notices to Airmen, Section 2 (as amended) (Class II NOTAM) – AC 91 -70 Oceanic and International Operations, Chapter 3, Paragraph 9 (as amended) Oceanic Operations and SLOP Federal Aviation Administration SL-13 -SLOP

Industry Misunderstandings About the Use of SLOP • Current misunderstandings: – It is only used for contingencies – Flying left of centerline is acceptable – Need to contact ATC or return to centerline when transiting mid-ocean radar areas – Not for random routes Oceanic Operations and SLOP Federal Aviation Administration SL-14 -SLOP

Review In this lesson we discussed the following topics: • The need for an oceanic checklist • Sample dispatch checklist • ICAO guidance for SLOP • FAA guidance for SLOP • Industry misunderstandings about the use of SLOP Oceanic Operations and SLOP Federal Aviation Administration SL-15 -SLOP
