Minimum requirements
Operators should provide pilots with guidance regarding all aspects of transporting dangerous goods. These instructions should not be contrary to the pertinent regulatory documents. Where regulatory guidance is lacking, the book ‘Dangerous Goods Regulations’ (DGR), published by the International Air Transport Association (IATA) is an acceptable substitute. The IATA DGR pro-vides detailed information on what hazardous materials can be carried on passenger or cargo only flights including maximum quantities and packaging requirements. Operators must have approved procedures and personnel trained to IATA (or equivalent) standards in the event dangerous goods are to be transported.
Documentation
If hazardous materials are carried, the Pilot-In-Command should be provided with a ‘Shippers Declaration of Dangerous Goods’ form and comply with the Operator’s Operations Manual.
9.3 Manifests
9.3.1 Information to be recorded
A passenger manifest should be raised for each flight and should have the following minimum infor-mation recorded: name of each passenger, passenger’s company affiliation, passenger weight and that of personal baggage, the aircraft registration, and the weight of cargo. A computer-based manifesting system may be used, provided the pilot can be given the information.
9.3.2 Additional information
The form may also include a charge allocation and flight number if applicable.
9.3.3 Manifest changes/additions
If additions or deletions occur, the manifest will be revised to accurately reflect the names of the per-sons on board. This manifest should be left with or relayed to a responsible party, prior to departure, with instructions to retain until the trip is completed.
9.3.4 Passenger verification
Pilots and/or designated personnel should check the actual passenger names versus the pre-planned listing of personnel to be transported to verify only authorised passengers are carried.
9.4 Passenger weights
9.4.1 Aeroplanes under 5700 kg & all Helicopters
For aeroplanes with a maximum gross takeoff weight (MGTOW) less than 5700kg, and all helicop-ters regardless of MGTOW, actual body weights (including hand carried baggage) should be used.
9.4.2 Aeroplanes over 5700kg
At the discretion of both the Company and Operator (if authorised to do so by appropriate CAA), standard weights based on seasonal averages may be used when preparing a manifest for aeroplanes having a maximum gross takeoff weight in excess of 5700kg.
9.4.3 Baggage
All checked baggage will be manifested at actual weight for all aircraft.
9.5 Passenger briefings
9.5.1 Briefing frequency
Passengers should be properly briefed on emergency procedures, and other safety matters, prior to flight. If permitted by regulation, the pilot briefing may be abbreviated if a video briefing is provided or if on stopover flights.
9.5.2 Language
Where the dominant language is not English, the Operator should provide a briefing in the local language as well as English.
9.5.3 Minimum briefing requirements
The passenger safety briefing should include, but not be limited to, the following:
.
A general description of the aircraft and the danger areas of jet engines, and turning propellers on aeroplanes, and the dangers of helicopter main and tail rotors.
.
Procedures for boarding and exiting the aircraft.
.
Smoking is not permitted around the aircraft/tarmac area, or during flight.
.
Location of non-smoking and fasten seat belt illuminating signs.
.
Seat belts and shoulder harnesses:
