Pilot : Jandakot Ground, Cessna 172, [callsign], Northern Apron, received [ATIS
code], request start clearance for circuits
SMC : [callsign], Jandakot Ground, start approved
Pilot : [callsign]

Start-up clearance is required from Jandakot Ground, 124.3, for circuits. This is a
separate call to your request for taxi clearance. Whether departing or arriving,
remember that taxi clearance is always required to enter taxiway Bravo.

STARTING ENGINE Checklist � Follow checklist

If first flight of the day (throttle set to Full Open initially), remember to put
the throttle back to OPEN 1 INCH after Priming Procedure is done, before you turn
the magnetos switch to ON. (The checklist does not mention this step)
Always make sure the surroundings are clear before starting the engine. Shout
�CLEAR PROP�, pause, �CONTACT�, then look right, centre, left and back of the A/C,
once clear, turn the magnetos switch.

AFTER START Checklist � Follow checklist

Taxi Clearance � Request taxi clearance

Listen to the ATIS � 120.9 MHz (Confirm still current)

On 124.3 MHz

Pilot : Jandakot Ground, Cessna 172, [callsign], Northern Apron, received [ATIS
code], request taxi for [circuits or training area via [appropriate departure
point]], [dual or solo]
SMC : [callsign], Jandakot Ground, taxi [holding point], [runway], [time
check]
Pilot : Taxi [holding point], [runway], [callsign]

Note: If your taxi instruction includes the term �holding point [runway]� or �hold
short of [runway]�, you are required to read back the instruction as stated in your
taxi clearance.

Taxi Brief

The Taxi Brief is given after receiving the Taxi Clearance. It must be conducted
with a picture of the Jandakot runway diagram from the Jeppesen. Example for Runway
06L as follows:

Our taxi route will be down the Northern apron towards the Central apron. We will
make a left-hand turn on to the D1 extension. We will take the first major right
hand taxiway to the Bravo 5 run-up bay. We will then taxi along Bravo 4, Bravo 3,
Bravo 2, turn left into Sierra 1 and hold short of runway 06L.

*Good to also practice for Runway 30, it is quite a mouthful! For Rwy 30, you
will request clearance to cross both 06L and 06R for Runway 30 once you are at
holding point Sierra Rwy 06L. JDK Grnd will usually give both clearances at one
shot.

TAXI FROM PARKING AREA TO RUN-UP BAY

Taxi

Begins at 1000 RPM

Once moving, reduce to 800 RPM
Use brakes sparingly
Check brakes (first check is when taxiing out of parking area before turning onto
the Northern Apron. Once done, can hand over to instructor to check his brake
pedals along Northern Apron, before the left hand turn.)
Identify taxiways � when approaching a taxiway, call out �Taxiway Bravo
identified�, slow down a bit and clear right, centre, left for any incoming
traffic.
Always LOOKOUT

Taxi Instrument Checks � During taxi to run-up bay

LEFT turn, slip RIGHT

CDI and Compass DECREASING
Wings Level AH erect
*ADF tracking

RIGHT turn, slip LEFT

CDI and Compass INCREASING
Wings Level AH erect
*ADF tracking
*Note: Hotel series C172s do not have ADF

Stop In Run-Up Bay

Park in the run-up bay with prop wash pointing into the tire wall
Avoid pointing prop wash into other aircraft or over taxiways
Usually facing the upwind of the runway in use, but no more than 30 degrees off the
perpendicular of the run-up bay.

RUN-UP BAY TO TAKE-OFF

ENGINE RUN-UP Checklist � Follow checklist

For safety, toe brakes are to remain depressed even with the parking brake set, as
we are revving the engine up to higher rpms.
If you�re A/C does not have an ADF (Hotel series), take a peek at your watch to
note the time when you started your engine. Checklist cautions that engine run-up
checks should be conducted 8 mins after start or when engine instruments are in the
green. The ADF has an elapsed timer which can show approximate time since engine
start.

BEFORE TAKE-OFF Checklist � Follow checklist

Flight Instruments Check � Check airspeed indicator reads 0 KIAS, AH indicates
Wings Level,
Altimeters � PFD and Stdby Altimeters are within +- 100ft tolerance of aerodrome
elevation (99 feet).
Standby Flight Instruments � Check glass windows are intact, colour markings not
faded. For ASI, reads 0 KIAS, AH is erect and indicates Wings Level (can also
adjust to show slight nose-up aligning with the main AH), Altimeter is
approximately same indication as main Altimeter.

Safety Brief

This will be a left/right-hand seat take-off

Take-off power is 2065 RPM
Flap set to __0/10_ degrees
Rotation speed is 60 kts
RWY in use is __06L/R or 24L/R or 12 or 30
Call out any malfunction or warning
When any malfunction occurs before rotation, I will call �STOP� or �GO�
Before rotation, I will reject the take-off for an engine failure or condition that
significantly affects the safety of the flight
If an engine failure occurs after rotation, I will select the glide attitude and
complete the EFATO drill

[PIC Brief by Instructor]

In event of real emergency, I will remain in control until you positively indicate
you are taking over��.etc etc

Taxi and park at SFC

When taxiing up to the Northern Apron, remember that it is good airmanship to not
further delay a departing SFC aircraft.
Never taxi the C172 into a parking bay. Always pushback, Ops cadets will be on hand
to assist.
If there are aircraft with beacon lights on in the parking bays, do not taxi in!
Choose another parking bay, or go to the end past the parking bay, make a u-turn
and wait outside the parking area for the a/c to taxi off first.
If you�re the last flight and your a/c is designated for night ops, remember to
park it in ALPHA parking bays.

Complete SHUTDOWN Checklist � Follow checklist

ENSURE PARKING BRAKE IS RELEASED AND MASTER SWITCH IS OFF BEFORE PUSHING BACK.

AFTER THE FLIGHT

Dip fuel and (for analog) note tachometer hours.

Return keys or pass to next sortie cadet, if passing over, take a picture of the
Journey Log for your postflight. You�ll need the ATA and ATD as well as the Tacho
Hours. If it�s a solo, you�ll be writing these down on the journey log yourself,
otherwise, your instructor will do so. (even so, double check what the instructor
writes down. Down here, instructor mistakes count as our mistakes also, PIGS go to
you not the instructor!)
Postflight on TMS2, make sure your Technical/Tachometer hours are correct, as well
as other info before saving!!!
Go for debrief with instructor if it�s a Dual sortie. Due to time constraints, the
instructor may also reschedule your debrief to later in the day or the next day.
FOR MPL CADETS, sign off the Sortie Report, scan and send to your instructor�s
email acct (they should be in the address book in the photocopier):
For email subject � [Sortie Number] � [Name]. e.g M101A � Ryan Tan
For file name � Same as above
File the hardcopy in your personal folder in the Ops Rm
Update your details on the whiteboard
Update Pilot Flying Logbook � convert ATD and ATA to GMT/UTC Hours!!
Update Cadet Tracking Hours, and Cadet Progress Excel Sheets on Ops Computers under
JDrive
If last flight of the day, close the Journey Log and pass the MR to DI/Ops Cadets
