Non-Routine Flight Operations (NRFO)

Non-Routine flight operations are defined as operations and procedures that require special procedures and operations not found in the normal flight operations profile.

They are classified into two categories; NRFO II and NRFO III.

All flight crewmembers upon completion of initial Baltia training are qualified as NRFO II. Additional training is required to attain a NRFO III qualification.

NRFO II Operations NRFO II Operations include:

Maintenance Acceptance Check FlightLanding Gear Extended Flights

This NRFO qualification is achieved by attending a 1 hour familiarization course during Baltia Basic Indoctrination.

All qualified crewmembers are categorized as NRFO II qualified.

NRFO IIIEngine Inoperative Ferry

One Engine-inoperative ferry flights are to be flown only by Flight Instructors, Check Airmen, or Highly-Qualified aircrews designated in writing by the

Director of Flight Operations.

Qualification requires a 2 hour ground school with a simulator qualification.

NRFO II Maintenance Acceptance Flight

Completed in accordance with the Baltia Air Lines Maintenance Acceptance Check Flight checklistGround test lasts approx. 2 – 3 hours. Test flight lasts approx. 3 hours

Three Engine Ferry ProcedureMaximum AirspeedDo not exceed the following airspeed limits:

• Maximum airspeed limitation is 320 KIAS or 0.85 Mach.• If icing conditions are encountered, reduce speed to 270 KIAS or 0.80 Mach.

PerformanceDue to minimum control speed limitations for takeoff speeds, runways with a corrected length (actual length corrected for slope and wind) must be at least 6,000 feet for ferry flights with an outboard engine inoperative.The performance data in the PHB covers the regulatory requirements for a one engine inoperative ferry flight in accordance with 14 CFR 91.611. The inoperative engine may be wind-milling, locked rotor, partial locked rotor, or idling.

Three Engine Ferry ProcedureThe takeoff weight is limited by the most restrictive of the following:

Determine the one engine inoperative maximum runway limit gross weight from the Custom Navtech Runway Performance page. Determine the one engine inoperative maximum climb limit gross weight from Custom Navtech Runway Performance page.

Takeoff ConfigurationThe inoperative engine must have the thrust reverser deactivated.The engine may be inoperative or operated at idle thrust.All air conditioning packs must be off for takeoff.
