Prior to Oceanic

Prior to Oceanic

The time spent prior to “coasting out” is fairly busy for a flight crew. It is during this phase that the crew shall: establish enroute communications via HF; perform SELCAL checks; verify RVSM capability and compliance; receive an oceanic clearance; verify that all fuel, hydraulic and engine systems are functioning properly; verify that all navigation systems are functioning and capable of navigating to the level required within the oceanic airspace; ensure that the aircraft will enter oceanic airspace at the cleared level at the appropriate time; obtain last minute weather updates to ensure that the cleared oceanic route is acceptable; and establish the cleared Mach number for the crossing.
