Sterile flight deck definition:
Any period of time when the flight crew should not be disturbed, except for matters critical to the
safe operation of the aircraft.
Explanation:
This may include, but not be limited to, calls received from non-operational areas (e.g. company), entry onto the flight deck (e.g. cabin crew) and extraneous conversations not related to the current phase of flight. It is generally accepted, that such a period of time commences;
a) Departure: when the aircraft starts engine/s and ceases when the aircraft reaches 10,000’ above the departure aerodrome elevation.
b) Arrival: when the aircraft reaches 10,000’ above the arrival aerodrome elevation until the engine/s are shut down after landing.
c) Any other times decreed by the flight crew. (e.g. in flight emergency, security alert etc)

Use all your aircraft lights to help controllers and other pilots to see you. Fixed navigation lights and taxi light should be on whenever the aircraft is moving. Landing lights logo and strobes (where fitted) should be turned on when taking the active runway or when cleared for take-off.
10.
Check your audio box and volume adjustment whenever a frequency change is made.
11.
Ensure all flight crew are on the appropriate frequency until all runways have been vacated after landing.
12.
After the landing, vacate the runway as soon as possible, but not by turning onto another runway, unless specifically instructed to do so.
13.
When the aircraft has vacated the active runway, be prepared to stop to resolve any questions about the ATC clearance or about the aircraft position.
14.
Anytime you feel uncertain about the location of the aircraft position on the movement area, STOP the aircraft, advise ATC, and ask for clarification. Take the question out of the flight deck.
15.
If necessary request progressive taxi instructions.
16.
Never stop on a runway unless specifically instructed to do so.
The following check list may assist with best practice preparations:
◆
If necessary write down taxi route
◆
Assign crew member to progressively follow aircraft position on chart
◆
Follow company SOP’s in regard to exterior lighting when taxiing and cleared for take-off – where possible, maximum illumination.
◆
Sterile Flight Deck during taxi
◆
The visibility required for taxiing may be less than the Runway Visual Range
◆
Be alert for Mandatory Signs / Markings / Stop bars and Runway guard lights
◆
Look for visual aids (Taxiway location information and destination signs)
◆
Designate a crew member to look for and report signs / markings and keep track of location against the aerodrome chart
