(1) An operating crew member;
(2) A representative of the Authority
responsible for certification, licensing or
inspection if this is required for the performance
of his official duties; or
(3) Permitted by, and carried in
accordance with instructions contained in the
Operations Manual.
(b) The commander shall ensure that:
(1) In the interests of safety, admission to
the flight deck does not cause distraction and/or
interfere with the flight’s operation; and
(2) All persons carried on the flight deck
are made familiar with the relevant safety
procedures.
(c) The final decision regarding the admission
to the flight deck shall be the responsibility of the
commander.
In our national legislation para (c) was not adopted.
For non-crew member flight deck jum pseats the current procedure requires the AOM to be supplemented by a instructional procedure according JAR 1.100 (a)(3), which then needs to be authorized bythe national authority. In our case it was neither tried to add such a procedure nor would the national authority authorize it.
Who is talking about flightdeck? First Class will do for me... As I said I don´t think its very right to Request such a courtesy if you can´t correspond, so if any of you work in Ops, Its probably your turn to try and make a change.
