IVAO PT
OCEANIC CHECKLIST
Flight Planning
Check available NATs, if applicable (Transatlantic
flights);
Select available random routes, if applicable;
Check current NOTAMs for: DEST, ORGN, Enroute
FIRs;
Plot flying route on an enroute chart (If flying on
NATs plot adjacent tracks);
Plot Equal Time Points (ETP);
Note possible NAVaids to check accuracy prior to
coast out;
Note TMI number.
Pre-Flight
Aircraft Maintenance Log Check (NAV, COM,
Surveillance and RVSM issues);
Compare FMC FPL with ICAO/IVAO FPL - Check
routing, fuel load, Enroute Climbs, EET;
Check Aircraft current UTC time;
Dual Long Range Navigation System (LRNS) fully
operating for remote oceanic ops.
RVSM:
o Check Altimeters (Cannot differ by more
than 200ft);
o Enroute Weather Forecast – Winds aloft,
turbulence zone.
Confirm with Present Position Coordinates (POS
INIT FMC Page) – Best source/Gate coordinates.
LRNS programming:
o Check AIRAC and Software Versions
o Check expanded coordinates of
waypoints
o Route distance check (+ 2º and +2NM of
contingency)
o Upload winds into the FMC, if
applicalable.
HF and SELCAL check;
Groundspeed check;
Check IVAO ATIS and Online ATC Positions.
Taxi
Current Position check on several sources – IRS 1
2 3, GPS, etc;
Groundspeed check.
Climb
Passing TA (Transition Altitude) set QNH
1013hPa/29.92in/STBY;
Check ETAs for above FL180;
Prior to Oceanic Entry
HF check (SELCAL Check);
Login on CPDLC or ADS 15 to 45 minutes prior to
entry FIX, if equipped
Check Flight Levels Availability and Maximum Flight
Level;
Obtain Oceanic Clearance from appropriate
clearance delivery:
o Confirm and Maintain cleared Flight Level
at Oceanic Entry Fix;
o Confirm Flight Level, Mach (speed) and
Route for Crossing;
o Advice ATC WAH – When Able Higher flight
level;
o Check Aircraft performance capabilities for
maintaining assigned altitude and Mach
speed;
Reclearance, if applicable:
o Update LRNS (e.g.FMC), CFP and Enroute
Plotted Chart;
o Check Tracks and distances for new route;
Check Altimeters (Cannot differ by more than 200ft)
– If yes: <Callsign, RVSM Unable due to equip>
Compass heading check;
After Oceanic Entry
Maintain Assigned Mach and Altitude;
VHF Radios set to interplane (123.45Mhz) and
Guard (121.500Mhz) frequencies;
Squawk 2000 – 30 minutes after entry FIX, If
applicable;
Strategic Lateral Offset Procedure (SLOP) – SOP;
Hourly Altimeter Checks;
Check TCAS mode TA/RA;
Monitor EETs.
Approaching WAYPOINTS
Confirm EETs (Contingency of +/- 3 min);
Confirm next Latitude/longitude.
Vertical with WAYPOINTS
Check Next waypoint;
Confirm time to next waypoint (May not differ by
3 min – requires revised estimating message to
ATC;
Check Current Winds, Fuel, Temperature (Fuel
and SAT)
Position Report .
Leaving Oceanic
Confirm if OPT Flight level and Mach;
Switch off HF box com;
Contact appropriate CTA.
Coast In
Compare ground based NAVAID to LRNS;
Remove SLOP;
Compare ground NAVaids to LRNS;
Confirm Routing after oceanic exit;
Check squawk 2000 if applicable.
Arrival / Block In
Navigation accuracy check;
Reports write up:
o Maintenance;
o RVSM;
o MNPS.
Descent
Transition Level – Set Altimeters to current QNH;
Anti-ice - Engines and Wing;
Miscellaneous
In flight Contingencies:
o 15NM Offset –SLOPs – 30NM in the NAT, 25NM in the Pacific;
o Published Weather Deviation Procedure;
o Emergency Procedures (121.500Mhz, 123.450Mhz):
 Mayday, Mayday, Mayday …
 SWR XX on Track X …
 Emergency Descent;
 Attention all A/C at XX NM W/E of XXX;
 Emergency Descent i/p from FLXXX;
 Leaving Track X left/right to the N/S.
ETOPS;
Weather – Destination /Alternates ( METAR, TAF);
Data Link Contingency Procedures;
DR – Dead Reckoning;
GPS – RAIM/FDE Requirements.
