This Is The First Of A Series Of Atlantic Sun Airways CAT .

This is the first of a series of Atlantic Sun Airways CAT A pilot proceduresand checklists for our fleet.

Maintain 240 knots until 10,000 feet, and then accelerate to 290 knots until youreach Mach 0.65, to your assigned altitudeChange the altimeter setting to 29.92 for flight above 18,000 feetFor descent use 2500-fpmFlaps nine degrees when airport in sightSet Nav1 for the ILS or Non Precision approach in clearanceLower the gear when intercepting the localizer or over the Final Approach Fix(FAF)Set 22 degrees of flapsSlow to 137 knotsPut on 45 degrees of flaps and complete the Landing ChecklistCross the threshold at 127 knotsReverse thrust and slow to taxi speed (20 KTS max)2
