2.3 ACCIDENT PREVENTION & FLIGHT SAFETY PROGRAM
2.3.1 Flight Safety Policy
There will always be hazards, both real and potential, associated with the operation
of any aircraft. Technical, operational and human failures induce the hazards. The
objective of the Company accident prevention and flight safety programme is to
address and control them.
This is achieved by the careful recording and monitoring of operational, engineering,and human safety-related occurrences for adverse trends in order to prevent the
recurrence of similar incidents which could lead to an aircraft accident.
2.3.2 Air Safety Policy
The highest level of safety in all of our operations shall be the primary attribute of all
AirAsia services.
Accordingly, the predominant factor in all operational decisions shall be that which
provides the best means of achieving the required safety objective. Air Safety takes
precedence over any commercial, operational, environmental or working practiceconsiderations. The Air Safety implications of any decision must be considered
before that decision is implemented.
2.3.3 Safety Culture
Safety is the primary consideration in the operation of air services by AirAsia. The
aircraft and equipment used in the provision of these services are selected and
maintained to meet the highest standards of safety.
Every staff member in the airline has a responsibility for Air Safety. The staff
members provide the essential safety link between the airlines aircraft, its equipmentand its customers.
The culture of AirAsia is that the staffs accept that responsibility and take an active
interest in Air Safety. In sharing this responsibility, each staff member is encouraged
to be vigilant for any sign that they believe may impact on Air Safety and to report
accordingly.
The Safety Department, as the central reporting point, is an important element of this
culture.
Air transport is the defined core business of AirAsia and the provision of a safe air
transport service is the primary aim of the airline, so the optimization of Air Safetyhas overriding priority for all personnel in AirAsia.

All staff members shall be fully aware of AirAsia Air Safety policy and will implement
that policy as part of their normal duties.
It is expected that staff members will take an active interest in Air Safety as it applies
to their particular function and also in a general sense so that their safety knowledge
will enable them to make informed decisions.

2.4 OPERATIONAL CONTROL
2.4.1 Definition
Operational control is the conduct of operational planning, the exercise of authority
over initiation, continuation, diversion, termination or cancellation of a flight and the
exercise of authority to carry out the recovery from operational irregularities.
Operational control is exercised so as to ensure safety and regulatory compliance,economy, passenger comfort and schedule keeping of all flight operations. Safety
and regulatory compliance are the main considerations.
2.4.2 Chief Pilot Operation
CPO has overall responsibility and authority for operational control which is exercised
through all the elements of the Flight Operations department in accordance with CAR
1996, the Operations Manuals and the other departmental manuals.
CPO, Department Managers and Flight Dispatch exercise operational control up to
the time a Commander commences his duty for a flight. Thereafter the Commander
shall exercise immediate operational control over the flight in co-operation with Flight
Dispatch and Maintenance and he shall base all decisions on the requirements of the
Operations Manual and the need to achieve the safest possible operation of his flight.
Although immediate Operational control is delegated to the Commander for the
duration of his flight, the CPO retains responsibility for the support of the Commander
and to provide any operational assistance that may be required.
The elements of Operational control are:
─ CPO and Managers within Flight Operations;
─ The Operations Manual, Operational policies and procedures;
─ Flight Dispatch;
─ Commander.

2.4.3 Flight Operations Management Responsibility
Managers within Flight Operations department support the CPO in his responsibilities
for the exercise of operational control.
2.4.4 Flight Dispatch Responsibility
The responsibility of all AirAsia flight is exercised through Flight Dispatch, who shall
ensure:
─ to monitor all flights from point of origin to final destination, including any
intermediate destinations or diversions
Flight Dispatch shall react in an appropriate manner to operational irregularities by
crew member changes (e.g. standby or by other means), aircraft changes or
changing the aircraft's planned schedule (e.g. early departure, delay, re-routing,
cancellation of flight, diversion of flight en-route).
2.4.5 Commander Responsibility
Once a Commander has commenced flight duty, the Flight Dispatch shall inform and
consult him about all matters concerning his flight, crew and the aircraft.
Once the flight has commenced, the authority to exercise control rests with the
Commander. The Commander may consult with Flight Dispatch at any time foradditional information or assistance i.e. deviation from the planned route, diversion or
any other operational irregularities through the use of any available communication
system such as ACARS / Stockholm Radio / SATCOM.
He must report to the DFO and if necessary to the Chief Pilot Flight Safety, any
operational procedure deviation and any event providing useful information for the
enhancement of flight safety.
It is through the structure of management that a Captain is designated as
Commander of a particular flight and the responsibility for control of that flight thus
delegated to him during the period he is in command. However, a Commander willinform OCC of any deviation from the planned flight as soon as possible.
It is also through this structure of management that a Commander is held
responsible for the exercise of his authority, which in terms of safety is the same
within the Company as under the general law. In the discharge of his
responsibilities, he must comply with all regulations and instructions that relate to
his duties, departing from them only when such action is necessary to avert danger.
Any such departure must be allowed as soon as possible by notification in writing to
the Director of Flight Operations, giving the reasons for the action taken.
The Commander is also given authority over the operating crew to ensure that theyperform their duties to the standard required by the Company and in accordance with
its instructions and procedures.

6.1 ILLNESS OR INCAPACITATION WHILE ON DUTY
Any crew who becomes ill or incapacitated while on flight duty or during a stop over
period outstation must, report the matter to the Commander at the earliest
opportunity. The commander should immediately contact the Operations Department
by the speediest means available.
The Commander should be aware that a sudden deterioration in health might be an
indication of the onset of a dangerous or infectious complaint. Carriage of a flight
crew or Flight Attendant who is ill is not authorised without permission from the
medical examiner.
Carriage of ill crew could prejudice AirAsia's position in several ways :
International health regulations;
Liability to the staff member concerned, should a serious illness ensue; and
Invalidation of the insurance of the aircraft; or
Significant decrease in the safety of the flight, if there was a reduction in the
number of available crew.
The Commander must ensure that a doctor is called at the earliest opportunity to
examine the crew concerned. A certificate must be obtained stating whether the
individual is fit for duty, or alternatively for travel. The Commander is authorised to
arrange any tests necessary to ascertain the condition of the individual concerned.
The Commander and the crew must submit a written report as soon as possible on
return to base. Commanders should notify in advance the arrival time at base of any
crew positioning due to illness to the Director of Flight Operations or Chief Pilot
Operations, through Operations Control Center.
Commanders have an overall responsibility for ensuring that all of the crew is fit for
duty, even if a report of sickness is not received. Where any doubt exists, a
Commander must ensure that a doctor sees the individual concerned and that the
report from the doctor is forwarded to AirAsia, at the earliest opportunity.
In the case of a Commander being incapacitated, the normal change of command to
the Co-Pilot applies, refer to Chapter 4.3.

Any SFA or FA duties e.g. when FA notices a sick patient with chicken pox, they
need to inform the commander.
When a passenger on-board shows symptoms which might indicate the presence of
a major disease, the Commander of an arriving flight must ensure that the airport
medical or health authority has been informed.
It is the responsibility of airport medical or health authorities to decide whether
isolation of the aircraft, crew and passengers are necessary.
On arrival of the aircraft, nobody shall be permitted to board the aircraft or disembark
or attempt to off load cargo or catering until authorised by the airport medical or
health authority.
Each station, in conjunction with the airport medical or health authorities will devise a
plan that would provide, when necessary for:
transportation of suspected cases of infectious diseases by selected ambulance
to a designated hospital;
transfer of passengers and crew to a designated lounge or waiting area where
they can be isolated from other passengers until cleared by the airport medical or
health authorities; and
decontamination of the aircraft, passenger baggage, cargo and mail and any isolation
lounges used by passengers or crew suspected of having infectious diseases.

6.4 GENERAL HEALTH
6.4.1 ALCOHOL - POLICY
Although alcohol consumption may be socially acceptable, it has a detrimental effect
on human skills and efficiency, which is particularly noted in relation to flying duties.
The effects of alcohol are primarily related to levels in the blood, which vary
individually according to the quantity and rate of consumption and may remain an
insignificant quantity long after the last alcoholic intake.
Therefore alcohol must not be consumed by a crew member while on duty or during
the ten (10) hours proceeding the specified reporting time for a flight duty or standby
duty.
Furthermore, crew members, by regulation, must not commence a flight duty period
with a blood alcohol level in excess of 0.2 promille (0.020 gram/100ml).
Therefore, alcohol may be consumed only in moderation during the sixteen hours
proceeding the 10 hours period referred to above. As a guide, moderation should be
regarded as no more than 5 units of alcohol. One unit is equivalent to half a pint of
beer, a small glass of wine or a small measure of spirits.
Local state restrictions may be more restrictive than those laid down by
AirAsia and in such cases the State restriction must be observed.
No alcoholic drink is to be consumed in a public place at any time by any Company
employee while wearing full or partial uniform. At the discretion of the Director ofFlight Operations, exemption from this rule may be given on special occasions and
when attending special functions.
No alcohol, or containers for alcohol, may be taken to the flight deck during flight.
Any breach of the above regulations will result in severe disciplinary action and any
crew member who consumes alcohol within the period of 10 hours prior to a flight, or
standby duty, will be liable for dismissal.

6.4.2 NARCOTICS & DRUGS - POLICY
The use of narcotics and drugs, which have not been prescribed by a medical
practitioner, is expressly forbidden at any time. This guidance also applies to sleep
inducing drugs. Crew member found with banned substance will be subject to
summary dismissal.
6.4.3 ANESTHETICS
Flight crew must not operate:
within 48 hours following any general anesthetic
within 24 hours following any local anesthetic
6.4.4 MEDICATION DRUGS & FLYINGIt should hardly be necessary to stress that aircrew should not undertake flying duties
whilst under the influence of any drug or drugs which may adversely affect
performance. Pilots should know that many commonly used drugs have side effects
liable to impair judgment and interfere with performance. When in doubt, crew
members should seek the advice of a suitably qualified doctor to establish whether
medication being taken precludes flight duties or not.
In cases where a crew member is taking medication he could well ask himself the
following questions.
Do I feel fit to fly?
Do I need any medication at all?
Have I had a trial of this particular medication on the ground for at least twenty-
four hours before flight, to ensure it will not have any adverse effects on me?
Many medications may have adverse effects on the nervous system, which may be
more marked in flight than on the ground. As a general rule, if a crew member finds
it necessary to take, or has been prescribed some form of medication, his fitness to
fly must be suspect and he shall seek aero-medical advice before commencing or
continuing with flying duties. The following are some types of medication in commonuse which may impair reactions.
6.4.5 HYPNOTIC
Use of hypnotic (sleeping tablets) may dull the senses, cause confusion and slow
reactions. The length of time they act varies and crew MUST have expert medical
advice before using them. Warning: Sleeping Pills and Alcohol are a lethal
combination.

6.4.6 ANTI-HISTAMINES
All anti-histamines can produce side effects such as sedation, fatigue and dryness of
mouth. Commonly, they are included in medication for the treatment of common
cold, hay-fever and allergic rashes or reactions. Some nasal spray may also contain
anti-histamines. Very mild conditions of hay fever etc. may be controlled by small
doses of anti-allergic drugs, but a trial period is absolutely essential before flying
duties and in all cases expert medical advice must be sought.
6.4.7 IMMUNIZATION
Medical advice is to be sought concerning the period to be observed before returning
to flying duties following immunization.
6.4.8 BLOOD DONATION
Crew members should not normally act as blood donors. If, for any reason, they have
done so, they are to advise the Company immediately following each donation and
shall not undertake flying duties for at least 24 hours after they have given blood.
6.4.9 DEEP SEA DIVING
Crew members whose sporting activities include deep sea diving to a depth
exceeding 10 meters shall not fly within 48 hours of completing such diving activity.
6.4.10 SLEEP & REST
Although the controls on flight and duty periods are intended to ensure that adequate
opportunities are provided for crew members to obtain rest and sleep, individuals
should ensure that proper advantage is taken of such opportunities.
A crew member shall not perform duties on an aeroplane if he knows or suspects
that he is suffering from fatigue, or feels unfit.
6.4.11 FITNESS
No individual shall act as a member of the crew of a Company aeroplane if, for any
reason, his physical or mental condition is such that it could endanger the safety ofthe aeroplane or its occupants.
6.4.12 SURGICAL PROCEDURES
Aero-medical advice should be sought prior to returning to flying duties following any
surgical procedure.
6.4.13 DIURNAL RHYTHM
It is a well established fact that the human body has a diurnal cycle or rhythm. This
means that its chemical, psychological and physiological activity is high during
normal waking hours and is low during normal sleeping hours. They reach the lowestpoint at about 4.00 am. Flight across time zones, that is either east-west or west-

east, may interrupt the diurnal cycle. However, there is no proof that this is harmful
to health.
To minimize the tiring effects of interruption to their day-night biological cycle, flight
crew is advised:
when away from home, to adhere as much as possible to home time for
sleeping, eating and bowel function
to take adequate rest before flight
to eat light snacks at three or four hourly intervals to increase alertness
6.4.14 FATIGUE
A crew shall not commence a flight duty or continue a flight duty after an intermediate
landing if he is aware that he is too fatigued or will be too fatigued before the next
landing.
The basic responsibility in fatigue management rests with the individual crew who
shall report for duty in a reasonably rested state and in an emotionally fit state to
perform his expected duty. This includes attention to such factors as sleep, personal
fitness, health, lifestyle and activities prior to flight.
Due allowance for any adverse effects of these factors should be taken into account
to ensure that fatigue which would significantly affect operating performance is not
encountered during flight duties.
In case of fatigue crew must seek medical advice.
In the case of crew stepping down from flight duties due to fatigue, the Fatigue
Report form shall be filled and submit within 24 hours to the Flight Attendant
Department. However, for data collection purposes, crew are encouraged to submit
the Fatigue Report voluntarily. Refer to page 9 for a sample of the Fatigue Report
Form.
6.4.15 PREGNANCY
A Flight Attendant who becomes pregnant must immediately, upon becoming aware
of such pregnancy, notify her management.
Certification of "unfitness to fly" shall be in writing from the attending physician and
shall indicate the expected date of delivery.
Upon receipt of such a notice, the Flight Attendant will be removed from flying duties.
At post maternity, FA must report to FAD with doctor’s letter. After verifying and
confirming the contents of the letter, the FA may be allowed to proceed for relevant
training prior to resuming flying duties. This shall also be subject to grooming
guidelines as stated in FA Grooming Manual.

6.5 TROPICAL MEDICINE
6.5.1 TROPICAL CLIMATETwo types of climate can be expected in the tropical zone:
The dry desert climate with very high day temperatures and very cold nights
The humid hot climate with both day and night high temperatures and humidityaround 90 %.
These very hot and humid conditions can be very tiring and tend to reduce workingintensity. When the surrounding temperatures are higher than those of the body, the
defense mechanism of the body gives off heat in the form of perspiration. If weperspire a lot we should increase our liquid and salt intake.
It is important to protect ones self from:
Ultraviolet radiation of the sun. This is the radiation that causes sunburn orsnow blindness. Protection against ultraviolet radiation is best achieved bylimiting our sunbathing to short periods, by the use of barrier creams andlotions and by the use of reliable sun glasses.
Infra-red radiation. This is the radiation that causes "sun-stroke" and can beguarded against by the use of light colored head wear.
Be careful of alcoholic intake. Siesta during the hot hours of midday isrecommended.
6.5.2 HYGIENEParticular care should be taken regarding hygiene in hot countries.
Drinking Water : Supply of pure drinking water is the exception in tropical andsub-tropical areas. Water from the tap must be regarded as infected, evenwhen it is merely used for brushing the teeth. A guiding principle should benot to drink any water, which is not purified by boiling, or by chemical
disinfection (chlorination). The common infections dealing with water aretyphoid fever, paratyphoid fever and dysentery.
Milk: Un-boiled milk can be a source of infection.
Recommended drinks: Boiled drinks and beverages in bottles. Make surethe bottles are opened in your presence.
Ice: Very often contaminated. Do not use ice in your drink.
Fruit: Avoid raw fruit without peel. Use fruit that can be peeled. Safe fruit -
oranges, bananas, mangoes, pineapples, etc., wash fruit before peeling,wash grapes before eating.

Salads and Raw Vegetables: Eating salads or raw vegetables runs the risk
of worm infestation or of contracting amoebic dysentery.
Meats: Eat only fresh meat, which has been freshly cooked. Avoid raw orcold meats.
Fish: Eat only fresh fish freshly cooked. Avoid shell fish especially oysters.
6.5.3 TROPICAL DISEASESTropical diseases are not confined entirely to the tropics but can occur almostanywhere. However their incidence and frequency are influenced by local factors.
Tropical diseases are mainly transmitted in the following ways: Through insect stings or bites
Through healthy skin by other parasites
Through food and drink
From the ground
Person to person
• The following insects transmit disease:
Mosquitoes transmit Malaria, Yellow Fever, Dengue Fever and Sand fly Fever
Lice transmit Typhus, relapsing fever and spotted fever
Rat Fleas transmit Plague.
• Protective measures against insects:Sleeping quarters should be free of insects. Use mosquito nets over beds. Netsshould be taut and should not come in contact with body, or use insecticide.Protect the skin by using an insect repellent.
• Following diseases are contracted through the skin:
Bilharzias: Aquatic snails act as intermediaries. The larvae of worms passfrom such snails into the water and on contact with the skin into the humanbody.
Weil's disease: The germs of this disease are excreted in rat’s urine. Theycan penetrate the skin of bathers.
Fungus Diseases: The fungus is present in tropical and sub-tropical inlandwaters, in shallow rivers and lakes, but hardly ever in sea water.
• Protective measures to avoid contagion through the skin:
Avoid inland water. Bathe only in pools with purified water or in the sea. Usecotton wool ear plugs. Wear shoes when walking around the pool.

6.5.4 MAIN TROPICAL DISEASES
• Amoebiasis (amoebic dysentery)
Causative Parasite:
Amoebiasis is due to the ingestion of a unicellular parasite, the Entamoeba
Histolytica. This is followed by an infection of the intestinal tract.
Distr ibut ion:
Although most prevalent as an endemic disease of tropical and sub-tropical
countries unsanitary disposal of excreta and primitive methods of water
purification may result in its introduction into temperate zones.
Source of Infect ion:
Water polluted by infected faeces is the commonest source of infection, hence
the prophylactic importance of safe drinking water. Other sources of infection
are, foods grown on soils manured by infected excreta, flies and food handlers.
Clinic al features:
Clinically the disease is characterized by an insidious onset, frequent febrile
relapses and a tendency to chronicity. Diarrhea is the outstanding symptom,
but it may be absent. There is abdominal pain with blood and mucus in thestools.
Compl icat ions:
Inflammation of the liver
Liver abscesses
Inflammation of the gall bladder and bile ducts.
Treatment;
Consists of rest, diet and a course of therapy which varies with the type of
case.
Prevention;
No vaccination or inoculation is available, nor is there any chemical prevention
such as that is used to prevent Malaria.
• Malaria
Transmiss ion:
Infection takes place through the bite of an infected anopheles mosquito and
transmission of the parasite into the human blood stream.

Authority: Director of Flight Operations, AirAsia
Geographical distr ibu t ion:
Variable, consult medical department.
Incubation Period:
The incubation period usually ranges from 10 to 35 days.
Morbid i ty :
Malaria causes several million deaths each year.
Symptoms:
An acute, sometimes chronic, often recurrent, febrile disease characterized by
periodic paroxysms of chills followed by high fever and sweating due to the
presence of parasites in blood. The early stage of the illness can very easily be
confused with many other infectious diseases, the more so if this occurs after
return to a temperate region where your doctor may not think immediately of
the possibility of Malaria.
Prevention:
Preventive measures include use of insect repellent sprays to protect skin,
screens on doors and windows, mosquito netting in bedrooms, sufficientclothing to cover as much as the skin surface as possible against mosquito
bites (this is important after sundown).
It is not possible to produce permanent immunity either chemically or by the use
of vaccines. Therefore drugs are only effective as long as they are taken
regularly.
Treatment:
Under medical supervision. Malaria can be fatal if treatment is delayed.
Therefore after having been in a malarial area, if you feel unwell or have an
unusual temperature within four weeks of leaving the area, tell your doctor; don't
wait to be asked.
• Typhoid and paratyphoid fevers
They are ingestion diseases characterized by high fever and intestinal symptoms.
Transmiss ion:
Typhoid fever is conveyed by water contaminated by sewage; by articles of food
grown in or gathered from water, e.g. shellfish and watercress; or by cooking
utensils washed in such water. Paratyphoid fever is rarely water borne; recorded
epidemics are few. Foodstuffs contaminated by carriers usually disseminate the
disease.

Incubation Time:
From seven to twenty-one days.
Geographical Incidence:
The disease is likely to occur wherever the water supply is impure. Generally
speaking the less satisfactory the sanitation and more prevalent is enteric fever.
However, with the use of adequate drugs cases of death are now rare.
Symptoms:
Vague symptoms of illness tending to increase in severity throughout the first
week. Lassitude, frontal headache, general aches and pains, disturbed sleep,anorexia and thirst, abdominal discomfort, temperature rising to 400C, diarrhea
with or without bleeding.
Precautions:
Strict hygiene of food and drink.
Prevention:
Is by inoculation. The inoculation is not an international requirement for entry into
any country. Inoculation is strongly recommended when traveling to
regions of poor general hygiene.
Note: Air crew should not fly within 48 hours after inoculation. Inoculation
may be followed by a slight general feverish reaction.
• Cholera
Geographical distr ibu t ion:
Outbreaks of the disease usually are explosive and limited. Cholera is endemic
in many areas of Asia.
Transmiss ion:
Cholera is spread by the ingestion of water and foods contaminated by the
excrement of patients.
Incubation Period:
Is short, usually 1 to 6 days.

6.6 FOOD HYGIENECases of acute food poisoning in the air continue to occur sporadically and surveys
of incapacitation of flight crew in flight show that of these cases, gastro-intestinal
disorders pose by far the commonest threat to flight safety.
Food that has been kept in relatively high ambient temperatures for several hours
after preparation should be regarded with extreme suspicion since even severe
contamination is rarely obvious. This applies particularly to the cream, pastry, trifle
type of dessert, which is commonly part of a set aircraft meal. Also, very thorough
cooking is necessary to destroy food poisoning organisms and the toxins they
produce and this is rarely achieved in the re-heating process usually used in aircraftfor the main course of a meal.
Since the most acute forms of food poisoning frequently comes on suddenly, 1-6
hours after contaminated food is eaten, common sense rules should be observed in
respect of meals taken within 6 hours of a flight. In particular, shellfish, especially
mussels and oysters that have an ability to concentrate poisoning organisms in the
edible part of their flesh, should be avoided.
In order to eliminate the risk of food poisoning, THE OPERATING CREW ON ANY
AIRCRAFT SHOULD, AS FAR AS CIRCUMSTANCES PERMIT, PARTAKE OFDIFFERENT FOOD PRIOR to the commencement of any flight and during its
subsequent operation.
Cases may arise where no choice is available for the vegetable or dessert courses,
but each Flight Attendant must partake of a different fish or meat course. Where the
choice is not limited, it is recommended that each Flight Attendant partake of
completely different meals.
Note: No other illness can put a whole crew out of action so suddenly and
so severely as food poisoning. Thereby, immediately and severely
endangering a flight. Hence, the justification for advising that the crew,
Commander and co-pilot in particular, should not partake of the same
dishes before or during a flight.
For aircrew before and during flight, it is essential to avoid eating easily perishable
foods as well as foods and drinks served cold. This is most important with milk and
cream products, mayonnaise, sauces, salads, meat pies and other meat products.

6.7 FOOD POISONING
Cause :
Unlike other infectious intestinal diseases, food poisoning is not caused by a germ
but by poisonous substances (toxins). When germs or organisms contaminate food,
these germs multiply very rapidly and they reproduce these poisonous substances or
toxins. These toxins are tasteless and cause no unpleasant odors. Although
cooking may destroy the original germs that produce the toxins, toxins are very
resistant to heat and may not be completely destroyed by cooking. Particularly
suitable media for the production of toxins are milk products, sauces, creams, aspic,meat pies, etc.
Certain prerequisites are necessary before toxins are produced:
(a) suitable media
(b) contamination of the media
(c) an optimum temperature of 850F for the growth of the organism
Hence the importance of refrigeration of perishable foods.
Symtoms :
The character and severity of the symptoms depend on the nature and dose of the
toxin and the resistance of the patient. Onset is sudden. Shortly after ingestion of
the contaminated foodstuffs (at the latest within hours), malaise, nausea, vomiting,
abdominal cramps, intestinal gurgling, diarrhea and varying degrees of prostration
may be experienced. In severe cases, diarrhea is intense and may contain blood
and mucus.
Treatment :
Bed rest with convenient access to bathroom, commode or bedpan is desirable.
Severe cases should be hospitalized and a doctor should see all cases.

Authority: Director of Flight Operations, AirAsia
6.8 MEAL PRECAUTIONS PRIOR TO AND DURING FLIGHT
Sensible precautions should be taken to avoid the risk of food poisoning to reduce
the possibility of both pilots becoming incapacitated.
In order to eliminate the risk of food poisoning, THE OPERATING CREW ON ANY
AIRCRAFT SHOULD, AS FAR AS CIRCUMSTANCES PERMIT, PARTAKE OF
DIFFERENT FOOD PRIOR to the commencement of any flight and during its
subsequent operation.
Cases may arise where no choice is available for the vegetable or dessert courses,
but each Flight Attendant must partake of a different fish or meat course. Where the
choice is not limited, it is recommended that each Flight Attendant partake of
completely different meals.
To reduce the risk of flight crew being incapacitated in flight due to food poisoning,
the onus is on the crew members to ensure that different meals are consumed when
paired for the same flight.
Hot meals should normally be consumed within three hours of departure from the
station where the meals were uplifted.
Dehydration in Flight
Adequate fluid should be taken on flight duty to combat the drying effect on the body
of the low humidity of cabin air at altitude.
To combat the symptoms of dehydration, which include dryness of the nose, mouth
and general tiredness, there should be a generous intake of clear fluids. It has been
suggested that this intake should be in the region of 4 pints in every 12 hours of
flying.
Coffee, tea and carbonated drinks should be generally avoided as they are diuretics
and thus by stimulating kidney function can further increase the loss of fluid from the
body.

7.1 INTRODUCTION
7.1.1 PurposeThe purpose of this scheme is to interpret the requirements of the relevant articles of the
CAR 1996-PART VIII, as they apply to the regulation of flight times and the avoidance of
fatigue in crew.
7.1.2 Aim
The aim of this document is to express the intent behind the published, relevant
documents, thereby taking all reasonable precautions to ensure that crew are
adequately rested at the beginning of each flying duty period. To meet this aim, due note
will be taken of length of duty cycles, periods of time off and cumulative duty hours.
7.1.3 Applicability
The scheme shall apply in relation to any duty carried out at the behest of AirAsia by
both flight crew and Flight Attendant. The scheme shall apply to all Flight Attendant
carried as crew.
7.1.4 Responsibilities
7.1.4.1 The Company
The Company will publish rosters in advance so that operating crew can plan adequate
preflight rest. Crew will normally be given at least 7 days notice of their roster, which
usually covers a calendar month period.
Before the start of the new roster year, the start and finish dates of each roster period,
plus the expected publication date, will be issued to crew.
7.1.4.2 Crew
Responsibility for the proper control of flight and duty time does not rest wholly with the
company. Crew have the responsibility to make optimum use of the opportunities andfacilities for rest provided. They are also responsible for planning and using their rest
periods properly in order to minimise incurring fatigue. The CAR 1996 places a further
responsibility on crew. Simply put, crew shall not act as operating crew if they know, or
suspect, that their physical or mental condition renders them unfit to operate.
Furthermore, they must not fly if they know that they are, or are likely to be, in breach of
this scheme.

7.3 FLIGHT AND DUTY TIME LIMITATIONS AND REST REQUIREMENTS
Crew are responsible for ensuring that they are legal to fly in compliance with applicable
duty and rest limitations. Crew shall immediately inform scheduling if it becomes
apparent that any flight or rest period would be violated.
7.3.1 Calculation of a Flying Duty Period
The maximum FDP, in hours and fractions of hours, will be in accordance with 7.3.8.
The times extracted from the tables may be extended by use of in-flight relief, split duty,
and commander's discretion, under the terms in 7.4.1, 7.4.2and 7.4.4.
7.3.2 Additional Limits on Flying
7.3.2.1 Late Finishes / Early Starts
This paragraph only applies to crew who is acclimatised.
a) Sleep deprivation, leading to the onset of fatigue, can arise if a crew is required
to report early for duty on a number of consecutive days. Therefore, not more
than 3 consecutive duties that occur in any part of the period 0100 to 0659 hours
local time can be undertaken, nor will there be more than 4 such duties in any 7
consecutive days.
Any run of consecutive duties (Late Finishes or Nights or Early Starts) can only be
broken by a period of not less than 34 consecutive hours free from such duties. These
34 consecutive hours may include a duty that is not an Early, Late or Night duty.
However, crew who is employed on a regular early morning duty for a maximum of 5
consecutive duties shall work to the following:
The minimum rest period before the start of such duties is 24 hours;
The duty will not exceed 9 hours, irrespective of the sectors flown; and
At the finish of such a series of duties, crew will have a minimum of 63 hours free
from all duties.
b) Should any duties be scheduled to be carried out within any part of the period 0200
to 0459 hours local time, for a minimum of 2 and a maximum of 3 consecutive nights,
then crew will finish the duty preceding this series of duties by 2100 hours local time
before covering the block of consecutive night duties, such that the crew can take a
rest period during a local night.
Note :
The above paragraph may be replaced with one of the following choices,

either Options A and B or Options B and C. Crew may be rostered for either 2 or 3
consecutive nights, but it must ensure that the duty preceding this series of duties
finishes by 2359 hours local time (2 nights) or 2100 hours local time (3 nights) as
appropriate. If it is preferred to retain the present contents then attention must be paid to
the notes attached to the Options listed (below). These notes list the actions to be
followed in the event that duty is inadvertently extended beyond the cut-off times (i.e.
2100 or 2359 hours).
• Option A
Should any duties be scheduled to be carried out within any part of the period 0200 and
0459 hours local time, for 3 consecutive nights, then crew will finish the duty preceding
this series of duties by 2100 hours local time before commencing the block ofconsecutive night duties, such that the crew can take a rest period during a local night. If
the duty immediately prior to the 3 consecutive night duties extends beyond 2100 hours
local time and the individual crew is willing to continue with the planned roster, (i.e. 3
consecutive night duties) then provided that duty preceding this series of duties finishes
no later than 2359 hours local time, the schedule may continue.
Note :
1. Under this Option, if the crew chooses not to continue the planned roster (after
finishing duty between 2100 and 2359 hours local time) then only the planned
first and second night duties that impinge on any part of the period 0200 to 0459
hours local time may be undertaken.
2. Under this Option, if the duty finishes after 2359 hours local time, then only the
first of the 3 consecutive night duties that impinge on any part of the period 0200
to 0459 hours local time may be undertaken.
• Option B - 2 consecutive night duties
Should any duties be scheduled to be carried out within any part of the period
0200 and 0459 hours local time, for 2 consecutive nights, then crew will finish the duty
preceding this series of duties by 2359 hours local time before commencing the block of
2 consecutive night duties, such that the crew can take a rest period during a local night.
Note : Under this Option in the event of 2359 hours being exceeded, then only the firstofthe 2 planned consecutive night duties that impinge on any part of the period0200 to
0459 hours local time may be undertaken.
• Option C – 3 consecutive night duties
Should any duties be scheduled to be carried out within any part of the period 0200 and
0459 hours local time, for 3 consecutive nights, then crew will finish the duty preceding
this series of duties by 2100 hours local time before commencing the block of
consecutive night duties, such that the crew can take a rest period during a local night.

Note : Under this Option in the event of 2100 hours being exceeded, then only
the first of the 3 planned consecutive night duties that impinge on any part of the
period0200 to 0459 hours local time may be undertaken.
In all cases the limits a) and b) in 7.3.2.1 must not be exceeded (i.e. maximum of3
consecutive nights and 4 in 7 consecutive days).
7.3.2.2 However, crew who is employed on a regular night duty for a maximum of 5
consecutive nights shall work to the following:
a) The minimum rest period before the start of such a series of duties is 24 hours;
b) The duty will not exceed 8 hours, irrespective of the sectors flown; and
c) At the finish of such a series of duties crew will have a minimum of 54 hours free
from all duties.
7.3.2.3 Options For Night Operations
If the company elects to roster 4 or 5 consecutive night duties, then the criteria laid down
in paragraph 7.3.2.2must be complied with and must form part of the approved FTL
scheme. Company is reminded that the normal days off requirements must be met (i.e.
the 54 hours off between two blocks of 5 nights is only 1 proper day off). However, if
company finds that this part of the Scheme is too restrictive then one of the following
options may be employed but, if used, must be fully complied with:
a) When crew are employed on duty for a total of 20 hours or less during 5
consecutive night duties, (i.e. maximum duty each night is 4 hours) the 54 hours
free from all duties will meet the "Days Off" requirements for each 28 consecutive
day period. Any positioning flights must be completed within the 20 hours duty.
b) When crew are employed on duty for a total of more than 20 hours but not more
than 40 hours during 5 consecutive night duties, the first 54 hours (between week
1 and week 2) may be counted as 2 "Days Off". For the 28 consecutive day
period that starts on the first night of the first duty, crew must be given a
minimum of a further 5 "Days Off" (average of a further 6 days). Any positioning
flights must be completed within the 40 hours duty.
c) When crew are employed on duty which requires full use of 40 hours duty during
5 consecutive night duties plus a maximum of 3 hours positioning (pre- and post
total) then:
1) Allowable flying hours (month and year) will be reduced to the following:

maximum of 60 hours in 28 consecutive days averaged over three
28 day periods, and;
• 600 hours in any 12 consecutive months.
2) a minimum of 9 "Days Off” in any 28 consecutive days will be granted;
3) any increase in duty over 40 hours during the block of 5 consecutive night
duties is to be added to the subsequent 54 hours rest period which may not be
reduced.
7.3.2.4 General Rules
When an operator utilises a), b) or c) of paragraph 7.3.2.3, this general rules shall be
applied:
a) The exercise of "Commander's Discretion" is limited to 1 hour per night with a
total of 2 hours allowed during any 5 consecutive night cycle. Any duty worked in
excess of 40 hours by use of "Commander's Discretion" must also be added to
the subsequent 54 hours rest which may not be reduced.
b) The absolute maximum duty permitted during a block of 5 consecutive night
duties is 45 hours [40 hours, plus 3 hours positioning, plus 2 hours
"Commander's Discretion", as per paragraphs 7.3.2.3 c)and 7.3.2.4 a)above].
c) Crew cannot be rostered for more than 8 hours per night, except when working to
paragraph 7.3.2.3 c)above.
d) Split duties and extension of FDP by in-flight rest are not permitted.
Note : For 5 consecutive earlier, the same rule as in 7.3.2.4 a) above
applies (i.e. maximum 1 hour discretion per day and a total of 2 hours
in the 5 day cycle).
7.3.3 Mixed Duties
When a crew is required to report for duty in advance of the stipulated report time for a
scheduled flight, to carry out a task at the behest of the Company, then the time spent
on that task shall be part of the subsequent FDP.
7.3.3.1 Mixed Simulator and Aircraft Flying
When a flight crew flies in the simulator, either on a check or training flight, or as a
Training Captain or Instructor, and then within the same duty period flies as a flight crew

on a public transport flight, all the time spent in the simulator is counted in full towards
the subsequent FDP. Simulator flying does not count as a sector, but the FDP allowable
is calculated from the report time of the simulator detail.
7.3.4 Travelling Time
a) Travelling time, other than that time spent on positioning, does not count as duty.
b) Travelling time, from home to departure aerodrome, if long distances are
involved, is a factor influencing any subsequent onset of fatigue. If the journey
time from home to normal departure airfield is usually in excess of 1½ hours,
crew should make arrangements for temporary accommodation nearer to base.
c) When crew is required to travel from their home to an aerodrome other than the
one from which they normally operate, any travelling time over and above the
journey time from home to the usual operating aerodrome will count as
positioning.
The notional additional times when reporting to the following airfields are as stated:
All other airports; 20 minutes
If reporting to any other airfield the Company will specify an appropriate allowance for
the extra travel involved.
7.3.5 Delayed Reporting Time in a Single FDP
a) When a crew is informed of a delay to the reporting time due to a changed
schedule, before leaving the place of rest, the FDP shall be calculated as follows.
When the delay is less than 4 hours the maximum FDP allowed will be based on
the original report time and the FDP will start at the actual report time. When the
delay is 4 hours or more, the maximum FDP will be calculated using the more
limiting of the planned and actual report times and the FDP will start 4 hours afterthe original report time.
b) When the company informs a crew before leaving the place of rest of a delay in
reporting time of 10 hours or more ahead and that crew is not further disturbed
by the company until a mutually agreed hour, then that elapsed time is classed
as a rest period. If, upon the resumption of duty, further delays occur then the
appropriate criteria in this paragraph and in a) above will be applied to the re-
arranged reporting time.

7.3.6 Positioning
All time spent on positioning at the behest of the Company shall count as duty, but
positioning does not count as a sector when calculating the FDP. In these circumstances
the FDP commences not later than the time at which the crew reports for the positioning
journey, or positions in accordance with paragraph c) in 7.3.4.
If, after a positioning journey, the crew spends less than a minimum rest period at
suitable accommodation provided by the Company, and then carries out an FDP, the
positioning will be counted as a sector if a split duty is claimed when calculating the
allowable FDP. If it is not, a split duty FDP will not be used.
On occasion, when agreed by the DCAM, the company can recover a crew to main base
from an overseas airfield on a positioning on the eighth consecutive day of duty.
7.3.7 Standby Duty
The time of start, end and nature of the standby duty will be defined and notified to crew.
The time a standby duty starts determines the allowable FDP, except that when the
actual FDP starts in a more limiting time band, then that FDP limit will apply. However,
when a standby duty is undertaken at home or in suitable accommodation provided by
the Company during the period 2200 to 0800 hours local time, and a crew is given 2
hours or less notice of a report time, then the allowable FDP starts at the report time at
the designated reporting place.
When a crew is on standby duty on immediate readiness at an airport, the allowable
FDP is calculated using the start time of the standby duty.
If a crew is called out from standby, the standby duty will cease when the crew reports at
the designated reporting point.
The following limits apply:
Duty Maximum Duration
Standby Duty (all cases) 12 hoursStandby followed by FDP As in Case A and B below
• Case A :
If a crew is called out from standby to conduct an FDP before completing 6 hours
standby duty then the total duty period allowed is the sum of the time spent on standby

standby and the FDP obtained from 7.3.8, reduced by the amount of standby worked in
excess of 6 hours.
Note :
1. The method on adding time spent on standby to cumulative totals is stated in
Section 7.4.9.
2. The reference to ‘total duty period’ applies only to the sum of the standby time
achieved + the allowable FDP obtained from 7.3.8 On the day, for cumulativeduty totals and for minimum rest purposes, the total duty achieved will be
standby time achieved + FDP achieved + post flight duties + any positioning.
When any period of standby finishes, during which a call-out has not occurred, at least
12 hours rest must follow prior to the next duty period. Similarly, following the end of a
contactable period or periods, at least 10 hours must elapse prior to the next duty period.
7.3.8 Standard Reporting Time and Maximum FDP
The standard reporting time prior to departure is :
Flight crew Flight Attendant
60 minutes 60 minutes
Pre-flight duties are part of the FDP; 30 minutes duty will be allowed for post-flight
activities for flight crew and 30 minutes for Flight Attendant. The time spent between
reporting for a flight and the completion of post-flight tasks determines the length of the
subsequent rest period. If this "period" for post FDP duties is routinely exceeded then
the post FDP duty period stated in the scheme must be revised to better represent the
actual time taken.
A non-standard reporting time designed to take advantage of an increased FDP from amore favourable time band, must not be used.
Table A applies when the FDP starts at a place where the crew is acclimatized; Table B
applies at other times.

7.4 EXCEEDANCES OF FLIGHT AND DUTY TIME LIMITATIONS AND/ORREDUCTIONSOF REST PERIODS
7.4.1 Extension of Flying Duty Period by In-flight Relief
When any additional crew is carried to provide in-flight relief, with the intent of extending
an FDP, that individual shall hold qualifications which are equal or superior to those held
by the crew who is to be rested. To take advantage of this facility, the division of duty
and rest between those crew being relieved will be kept in balance. It is unnecessary for
the relieving crew to rest in between the times relief is provided for other crew.
When in-flight relief is utilised there must be, for the crew resting a comfortable reclining
seat, or bunk, separated and screened from the flight deck and passengers, and free
from disturbance.
A total in-flight rest of less than 3 hours does not allow for the extension of an FDP, but
where the total in-flight rest, which need not be consecutive, is 3 hours or more, then the
FDP may be extended as follows :
If rest is taken in a bunk If rest is taken in a seat
A period equal to one half of the total of resttaken, provided that the FDP shall not
exceed 18 hours; 19 hours in the case of
Flight Attendant.
A period equal to one third of the total of resttaken, provided that the FDP permissible shall
not exceed 15 hours; 16 hours in the case of
Flight Attendant.

7.4.2 Extension of Flying Duty Period by Split Duty
When an FDP consists of two or more sectors, of which one can be a positioning journey
counted as a sector but separated by less than a minimum rest period, then the FDP will
be extended by the amounts indicated below:
Consecutive Hours Rest Maximum Extension of the FDP
Less than 3 NIL
3 - 10 A period equal to half the consecutive hours rest taken.
The rest period shall not include the 90 minutes (i.e. 30 minutes post and 60 minutes
pre-flight) total allowed for immediate post and pre-flight duties. When the rest period is
6 hours or less it will suffice if a quiet and comfortable place, not open to the public, is
available.
If rest is taken in the aircraft on the ground, the crew must have adequate control of the
temperature and ventilation within the aircraft, either by use of a ground power unit or
the aircraft internal power units. The passengers must not be on-board.
If the rest period is more than 6 consecutive hours, then suitable accommodation will be
provided by the company. Travelling time to/from rest facility should not exceed 30minutes.
7.4.3 Rest Periods
Crew will be notified in good time of a flying duty period so that sufficient and
uninterrupted pre-flight rest can be obtained. When away from base opportunities and
facilities for adequate pre-flight rest will be provided by the company in suitable
accommodation. When flights are carried out at such short notice that it is impracticable
for the company to arrange suitable accommodation, then this responsibility devolves to
the aircraft Commander.
The minimum rest period which must be taken before undertaking a flying duty period
shall be :
a) at least as long as the preceding duty period, or
b) 12 hours,
whichever is the greater.

Authority: Director of Flight Operations, AirAsia
When away from base, in the case when the rest period earned by a crew is 12 hours,
and suitable accommodation is provided by the company, then that rest period may be
reduced by one hour. In such circumstances, if the travelling time between the
aerodrome and the accommodation is more than 30 minutes each way then the rest
period will be increased by the amount the total time spent travelling exceeds one hour.
In both situations the room allocated to the crew must be available for occupation for a
minimum of 10hours. This sub-paragraph does not apply to rest periods that exceed 12
hours.
Exceptionally, at home base, individual crew may be asked to exercise their discretion to
reduce rest by up to a maximum of one hour but only to a minimum of 12 hours for flight
crew and 11 hours for Flight Attendant. If discretion is used, it is the responsibility of the
Company and the crew to inform the Commander of the flight immediately following the
rest period, that a reduced rest period has been taken.
If the preceding duty period, which includes any time spent on positioning, exceeded 18
hours, then the ensuing rest period must include a local night.
Following a sequence of reduced rest and an extended FDP the subsequent rest period
cannot be reduced. After being called out from a standby duty the length of the minimum rest period will be
determined by the length of standby duty, plus any time spent on positioning, and any
FDP completed.
Crew who has difficulty in achieving adequate pre-flight rest shall inform their manager,
and then will be given the opportunity to consult an aviation medical specialist.
7.4.4 Aircraft Commander’s Discretion to Extend a Flying Duty Period
An aircraft Commander may, at his discretion, and after taking note of the circumstances
of other members of the crew, extend an FDP beyond that permitted in 7.3.8, 7.4.1and
7.4.2 provided he is satisfied that the flight can be made safely. The extension shall be
calculated according to what actually happens, not on what was planned to happen. An
extension of 3 hours is the maximum permitted, except in cases of emergency (see
Note).

Page 19
Authority: Director of Flight Operations, AirAsia
A Commander is authorised to exercise his discretion in the following circumstances andto the limits set. In a Flying Duty Period involving 2 or more sectors, up to a maximum of
2 hours discretion may be exercised prior to the first and subsequent sectors, but this
may be up to 3 hours prior to the start of a single sector flight, or immediately prior to the
last sector on a multi-sector flight.
A Commander may exercise discretion to extend an FDP following a reduced rest
period, only exceptionally, and then only to the extent necessary to allow for unforeseen
circumstances that become apparent during the last sector.
Note :
1. In respect of an extension to a flying duty period, an emergency is a situation
which in the judgement of the Commander presents a serious risk to the health
or safety of crew and passengers, or endangers the lives of others.
2. Discretion reports may be used by the DCAM to access the realism of particular
schedules.
7.4.5 Aircraft Commander’s Discretion to Reduce a Rest Period
An aircraft Commander may, at his discretion, and after taking note of the circumstances
of other members of the crew, reduce a rest period, but only insofar as the roomallocated to the crew must be available for occupation for a minimum of 10 hours. The
exercise of such discretion will be exceptional and must not be used to reduce
successive rest periods. If the preceding FDP was extended, the rest period may be
reduced, provided that the subsequent allowable FDP is also reduced by the same
amount. In no circumstances may a commander exercise discretion to reduce a rest
period below 10 hours at accommodation.
When away from base and where an individual crew separates from the crew, or the
crew as a whole splits up, then any use of discretion to reduce rest becomes a decision
for an individual crew. The decision to continue with the next flight and the submission of
an associated discretion report is the responsibility of the relevant Commander after the
crew, and the Company if in a position to do so, has informed the Commander that a
reduced rest period has been taken.

7.4.6 Reporting Exercise of Discretion
Whenever a commander extends an FDP, it should be reported to the employer on the
company Voyage Report if extension is less than 2-hours, or by Discretion Report forms
if extension is beyond the 2-hours period. The format of the Discretion report can be
found in Appendix D (from OM), or a format acceptable by DCAM will suffice. If the
extension is greater than two hours, or when exercised after any reduced rest period,
then the company shall submit the commander’s written report, together with any
comments to DCAM, within 14 days of the aircraft’s return to base
7.4.7 Days off
Wherever possible, and if required by the crew, days off will be allocated so that they
can be taken in the home environment. Days off at layover stations arising from flight
disruptions will be counted towards the days off requirements.
A single day off will include 2 local nights, and cover at least 34 hours.
A planned rest period may be included as part of a day off.
Crew will:
a) not be on duty more than 7 consecutive days between days off, but may be
positioned to the usual operating base on the next day after which they will have
2 consecutive days off, and
b) have 2 consecutive days off in any consecutive 14 days following the previous 2
consecutive days off, and
c) have a minimum of 7 days off in any consecutive 4 weeks, and
d) have an average of at least 8 days off in each consecutive 4 week period,
averaged over 3 such periods.

The pre-flight briefing is to be conducted after all operating FA has reported forduty at the stipulated reporting time.
The SFA of a flight will be the person in charge to conduct the pre-flight briefingto all FA. Pre-flight briefing to start at sign on time.
The SFA will coordinate with the OCC if any rostered operating FA is late orunavailable for flight duty or if a standby FA has been called for the flight before
the start of the pre-flight briefing. The SFA will call for a pre-flight briefing after all FA has signed on the Crew Net
and the compliance sheet, checked their folder and read the notice board.
The pre-flight briefing is conducted at the FA briefing area located at the OCC.
The duration of the pre-flight briefing is approximately fifteen (15) minutes.
