3 9.1 Operation with parachute jumpers General The C-53 D DO is allowed to carry 23 persons on board. This includes a maximum of 19 parachute jumpers and 4 crew members. The jumpmaster is counting as a crewmember and given the opportunity to exit the aircraft after the last of the 19 jumpers have left the aircraft. The maximum persons on board limitation is given by the NCAA in Driftsbegrensninger for McDonnell Douglas C-53 D Dakota, LN-WND issued Safety program Parachute operations shall only be conducted with persons connected to a organization with an approved safety program approved by the NCAA as stated in BSL D Preparations for parachute operations Prior to parachute operations the captain and the copilot shall be familiar with the regulations in BSL D 4-2 Forskrift om sivil fallskjermhopping and Håndbok for fallskjermflygere prepared by Fallskjermseksjonen/NLF. The captain shall complete a thorough briefing with the jumpmaster and the rest of the crew. During parachute jumping operations normal seating and seat belts shall be used. Exit shall be based on single file exit. LN-WND is not equipped with static line equipment Checklist prepared for parachute operations shall be adhered to Airplane external check and preparation prior to parachute operations In addition to normal external check it is required to remove the door and cover the door handle on the fuselage. The door is attached to the fuselage with two bolts and the door looking mechanism. The bolts and nuts on the hinge side are removed with a ¾ inch wrench and the looking mechanism is covered with duct tape Airplane internal check and preparation prior to parachute operations All loose items shall be removed and items in the overhead bins close to the exit shall be moved forward and stored in forward cargo compartment. A sharp knife shall be located in the rear right hand overhead bin in case of an unintentional release of a parachute on board during flight.

4 9.1.6 Flight with removed door (Ref. BSL D 4-2) Airspeed shall not exceed maneuvering speed or 70 % of maximum cruising speed. Maximum pitch angle shall not exceed 10 degrees pitch and maximum bank angle shall not exceed 15 degrees bank. All personal on board shall be seated and use seat belts during take-off and landing, flight below 1000 feet and whenever the captain finds it necessary by security reasons. Static line is not installed and shall not be used Flight is limited to VFR with door removed. LN-WND is registered to carry 4 crew members and 19 passengers. 2 crew members are flight crew and shall use seat belts during all flights with the door removed. The third crew member might be carried but is not allowed to leave the jump seat and shall use seat belts during all flights with the door removed. The fourth crewmember is the jumpmaster and he shall carry his parachute equipment during the flight. If the jumpmaster decides not to leave the aircraft he shall verify to the pilots that his parachute has been secured and he shall position himself at the first seat row and wear seat belts prior to descent. See also AIC 10/91 for approval of flight with removed door Procedure before, during and after drop See checklist in paragraph 9.1.8

5 9.1.8 Checklist

6 9.1.9 Emergencies Engine failure after take-off On the DC-3 you can except a marginal rate of climb with gear and flap retracted. It is up to the pilot in command to make the final decision and judgment. When climbing on single engine after an engine failure, switch of the cabins signs when passing 500 feet AGL. This procedure shall be briefed prior to take-off. The following information is provided to help the PIC in his judgment if he experiences an engine failure and and is not able to maintain altitude; Below 500 feet land with everyone on board Between 500 feet and 1000 feet experienced jumpers will leave the aircraft Unintentional release of parachute on board during flight If release is experienced when seated, maintain seated and keep the seat belts on. If release is experienced close to the door and the parachute is caught in the air from the door the parachute jumper will try to dive out the door. A knife shall be kept in the aft right overhead bin to cut the wires if a jumper is caught on the inside of the fuselage Parachute caught by the elevator If a parachute by any reason should be caught by the elevator and the jumper is dragged after the aircraft the pilots can try to yaw the aircraft abruptly to the left. The elevator is not equipped with a rudder horn.

7 Training and qualification program Prior to conducting parachute operations the captain and the copilot shall read and be familiar with the following documents; BSL D 4-2 Forskrift om sivil fallskjermhopping BSL A 1-3 Forskrift om varsling og rapportering Håndbok for fallskjermflygere prepared by Fallskjermseksjonen/NLF Supplement 9.1 Parachute operations for LN-WND They shall also be given a briefing by the chief pilot on the practical procedures regarding preparation of the aircraft, emergency procedures,flight characteristics during parachute drop and engine handling. They shall also sign on a form for pilots that they have been through the documentation and have been given a briefing by the chief pilot Deviation and occurrence reporting Any deviation and unintended occurrences shall be reported to the chief pilot as soon as possible. The chief pilot shall write a report which shall be published among the pilot flying LN-WND. The chief pilot is responsible to contact the appropriate parachute club or organization to discuss and prepare corrective actions and updates to the flight manual and procedures. BSL A 1-3 Ulykke som har ført til dødsfall og/eller alvorlig personskade under flyging med mikrolett fly, ved fallskjermhopping eller under flyging med henge-/paraglider, skal varsles snarest mulig til nærmeste politimyndighet. Det samme gjelder for hendelser som har ført til skade på tredjemanns eiendom. Any deviations and occurrences as prescribed in BSL A 1-3 shall be reported. These are; Driftsforstyrrelse av teknisk/operativ art Unormal operativ hendelse samt enhver teknisk feil og skade av betydning for luftdyktigheten, enten den oppstår under flyging eller oppdages på bakken (også under vedlikeholdsarbeid) og som ikke klassifiseres som luftfartsulykke eller luftfartshendelse.

8 Luftfartshendelse (incident) En begivenhet i forbindelse med bruken av et luftfartøy som ikke er en luftfartsulykke, men som har eller vil kunne ha ugunstig innvirkning på sikkerheten ved luftfartsoperasjoner. Anm.: En luftfartshendelse betegnes som alvorlig dersom omstendighetene tilsier at det nesten inntraff en luftfartsulykke. Luftfartsulykke (accident) En begivenhet i forbindelse med bruken av et luftfartøy som inntreffer fra det tidspunkt en person stiger om bord i luftfartøyet med flyging som formål til det tidspunkt alle ombordstegne personer har forlatt fartøyet, og der: a) en person blir dødelig eller alvorlig skadet som følge av eller - å være om bord i luftfartøyet, eller - å være i direkte berøring med en del av luftfartøyet, herunder deler som er løsnet fra det, eller - å bli direkte utsatt for eksosstrøm fra motor(er), og/eller luftstrøm fra propell(er) og rotor(er), unntatt når skaden har naturlige årsaker, er selvpåført eller påført av andre, eller er påført en blindpassasjer som har gjemt seg på et sted som vanligvis ikke er tilgjengelig for passasjerer og besetning; b) luftfartøyet utsettes for skade eller strukturell svikt som eller - i betydelig grad nedsetter strukturens styrke eller fartøyets yteevne eller flygeegenskaper, og - normalt nødvendiggjør større reparasjon eller utskifting av angjeldende del/komponent, med unntak av motorsvikt eller motorskade, når skaden er begrenset til motoren, dens deksler eller tilbehør, og med unntak av skade som er begrenset til propeller, vingespisser, antenner, dekk, bremser, glattkledning («fairings»), eller til små bulker eller små hull i fartøyets kledning; c) luftfartøyet er savnet eller fullstendig utilgjengelig.

9 Lufttrafikkhendelse (air traffic incident) En trafikkrelatert luftfartshendelse som for eksempel en nærpassering («aircraft proximity»), alvorlige vanskeligheter som oppstår fordi fartøysjefen eller lufttrafikktjenesten unnlater å følge gjeldende fremgangsmåte eller avviker fra gjeldende fremgangsmåte («procedure») samt alvorlige vanskeligheter forårsaket av mangler eller feil ved bakkeinstallasjon og/eller hjelpemiddel («facility»). Nærpassering (aircraft proximity, «AIRPROX») En situasjon hvor avstanden mellom luftfartøyer når det gjelder innbyrdes posisjoner og hastigheter etter et besetningsmedlems eller lufttrafikktjenestepersonellets oppfatning har vært av en slik karakter at de berørte fartøyers sikkerhet har vært i fare.
