• Wet Snow on top of Compacted Snow: use Wet Snow of the appropriate depth

DEFINITION OF A NARROW RUNWAY


A narrow runway is defined as a runway with a width less than 45 m and not less than 30 m.
General Limitations, Performance and Procedures relating to narrow runways are detailed in FCOM.

• Refer to FCOM/PRO/SPO/60 Operations on Narrow Runways.

Officersabove for operations on narrow runways.
Commanders are permitted to operate on a narrow runway (CM1 or CM2) only if their narrow runway
simulator training is valid.
Co-pilots are permitted to be PF on narrow runways only if their narrow runway simulator training is
valid.

1.3.4 Company limitations for ground maneuvering


ON A/C ALL

The minimum width of taxiways is 15m.

Taxi speed must be limited to:

• Below 50 kts while taxiing on runways.


• Below 30 kts on straight taxiways.

• Below 10 kts for tight 90° turns or 180° turn-arounds.

REVISION 1.1 - 04 OCT 2022


Operations Manual Part B
LIMITATIONS Chapter 1

Page 8

NOTE
The low speed end of the landing roll is considered to be part of the rollout, not part of the taxi. As
long as the aircraft is completing its landing roll on the runway or entering to a RET/HST (high
speed exit taxiway), taxi speed limitations do not apply. Turns to RETs/HSTs at airports suitable
for the aircraft are designed with such a radius that they can be used at speeds up to 50 kts
(even in wet RWY conditions) for runway vacation.
As the primary aim of RETs/HSTs is to expedite traffic, pilots should not unnecessarily slow down
(e.g.: to 10-15 kts) before exiting via such a taxiway. It is still the commander’s responsibility to
decelerate to a safe speed for runway vacation, when necessary (e.g.: slippery runway
conditions, visibility or traffic situation on connecting taxiways).

1.3.5 Company limitations on IAS

CAUTION
More restrictive speed restrictions may be imposed either by:

• Airspace speed restriction (refer to eRM AOI “Departure” or “Arrival” section), or


• Procedure speed constraint (refer to SID/STAR/Approach chart), or
• ATC (appropriate request/clearance must be obtained), or
• Turbulence conditions (refer to QRH/ABN/SEVERE TURBULENCE).

NOTE
Applicable airspace speed limits may vary from country to country. Generally, as opposed to E, F
and G airspace, in most European countries, there is no speed limit for IFR traffic below FL100 in
A, B, C and D airspace (except when following a procedure). For applicable speed limitations in a
given airspace always refer to eRM AOI pages “Departure”/”Arrival” section.

• EFB Handheld operations


• EFB Mounted operations

1.6.1.1 EFB handheld operations limitations


ON A/C ALL

During critical phases of the flight (Refer to OM-A 0.1.6 Definitions), the EFB device has to be “stowed”.
This implies placing the EFB device into the dedicated side storage compartment. The information
presented on the screen is not available for immediate use. Critical data has to be reproduced and be
available promptly (i.e. manual insertion into MCDU pages or copy to OFP) according to OM-B
procedures.
In other than critical phases of flight the EFB device can be kept on the sliding table (may be open
according to OM-B procedures) or on the lap of the PM for immediate reference and easy access.

1.6.1.2 EFB mounted operations limitations


ON A/C ALL

OVERVIEW
The Portable Electronic Device (PED) Suction Cup mount, developed by RAM Mounts®, is designed to
secure the EFB device in the flight deck. It allows use of the EFB in all phases of flight, including,
specifically, 10,000 ft AAL and below. It is important to note that only company issued PEDs must be
used in conjunction with this mount. No other PEDs are permitted. The maximum combined weight of
the EFB and cover must not exceed 1.5 kg.

The mount comprises of three major components:

1) The base which consists of three suction cups


2) A double socket arm with an adjustable friction nut
3) The Pivot mounting adapter square that hosts the EFB device

APPROVED MOUNTING LOCATION

The EFB mounts may only be installed on the sliding side window in the following location (shaded in
green in the images below):

CAUTION
Placement of the mount must not interfere with operations of the side sliding window handle
mechanism.

MOUNT INSTALLATION
Prior to installing the mount, wipe the three suction cups, located at the base of the unit, utilizing a wet
wipe. Inspect the suction cups for evidence of nicks, cuts, tears or damage.
Also inspect the window area where the mount will be fitted for dust or oil marks; clean this area as
necessary with a wet wipe.

REVISION 1.1 - 04 OCT 2022


Operations Manual Part B
LIMITATIONS Chapter 1

Page 13

NOTE
Nicks, cuts, tears or damage to the suction cups, and/or a dirty mounting surface, may impact the
gripping power of the unit and subsequently affect safe use of the mount.

Loosen the adjustable friction nut to allow movability of the double socket arm and the adapter square.
Sufficient friction power must remain, to allow for temporary manipulation of the EFB device, until the
desired position is attained.
Prior to installing the mount, ensure all three suction cup twist lock base levers are turned anti-
clockwise until the stops reach the “OFF” position:

The base of the suction cups should appear flat. Position the mount onto the approved location of the
side sliding window by holding onto the double socket arm. Ensure all three suction cups are flush with
the window glass.
While applying slight pressure towards the window, turn all three suction cup twist lock base levers
clockwise until the stops reach the “ON” position:

Check the security of the mount by firmly pulling and wiggling the suction cup base; no substantial
movement of the base should be observed.
The mount is now installed and ready for use with the EFB.

MOUNT UNINSTALLATION
Uninstallation of the mount is required, at the termination of the flight, prior to a change in Flight Crew.

REVISION 1.1 - 04 OCT 2022


Operations Manual Part B
LIMITATIONS Chapter 1

Page 14

First, remove the EFB device from the mount.


While holding onto the double socket arm, turn all three suction cup twist lock base levers anti-
clockwise until the stops reach the “OFF” position.
Gently pull the allocated flaps to release the suction power from the cups:

NOTE
Attempting to release the suction power from the suction cups by pulling on any other portion of
the suction cups may warp or damage the individual components. Only use the allocated flaps to
accomplish this task.

Fold the mount together by releasing the friction nut and positioning the mounting adapter square.
Store the mounts in the respective stowage locations.

SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
