DEPARTURE
EXPECT SID: NUGBA 3J (RW06) or NUGBA 3K (RW24)
After take-off, immediately contact Yesilkoy RAD
At first contact with Yesilkoy RAD report only callsign
No turn before DER
Check ATIS to confirm published departure frequency is the current one in use.
NOTE
Pay special attention on initial climb gradient, SID speed and altitude/FL constraints.

PERF: TO
Demonstration of TO PERF calculations with
➢ WET Runway
➢ Tailwind 5 kt
➢ FLEX thrust
➢ OPT CONF
Be aware of STOP margin
Consider reducing FLEX temp in case of TOW close to
Runway Limit (i.e. no stop margin)
Calculate MTOW (perf) in advance
Be aware of possible hot weather operations.

19.

PERF: TO
In the event of engine failure, STD EOSID is available.

20.

PERF: LDG
Demonstration of LDG PERF calculations:
➢ DRY Runway
➢ Tailwind 5 kt
➢ LDG FLAP CONF FULL
➢ BRK LOW
Be aware of STOP margin and GA gradient.
Be aware of possible hot weather operations.

21.

DIVERSION
NOTE
The diversion time to primary alternates is likely to be SHORT.
Keep in mind that approaches in these aerodromes might be challenging,
flight crew should anticipate possible diversion and self brief in advance.
