EU-OPS 1.310 - Crew Members at stations
(a) Flight crew members
(1) During take-off and landing each flight crew member required to be on flight deck duty shall be at his station.
(2) During all other phases of flight each flight crew member required to be on flight deck duty shall remain at his station unless his absence is necessary for the performance of his duties in connection with the operation, or for physiological needs, provided at least one suitably qualified pilot remains at the controls of the aeroplane at all times.
(3) During all phases of flight each flight crew member required to be on flight deck duty shall remain alert. If a lack of alertness is encountered, appropriate countermeasures shall be used. If unexpected fatigue is experienced, a controlled rest procedure, organised by the commander, can be used if workload permits (see ACJ OPS 1.310(a)(3)). Controlled rest taken in this way may never be considered to be part of a rest period for purposes of calculating flight time limitations nor used to justify any duty period. (b) Cabin crew members. On all the decks of the aeroplane that are occupied by passengers, required cabin crew
members shall be seated at their assigned stations during critical phases of flight. (See IEM OPS 1.310(b))

(a) Each flight crew member required to be on flight deck duty shall wear the headset with boom microphone or equivalent required by EU-OPS 1.650(p) and/or 1.652(s) and use it as the primary device to listen to the voice communications with Air Traffic Services:
(1) On the ground:
(i) When receiving the ATC departure clearance via voice communication, (ii) When engines are running,
(2) In flight below transition altitude or 10,000 feet, whichever is higher, and (3) Whenever deemed necessary by the commander.
(b) In the conditions of paragraph (a) above, the boom microphone or equivalent shall be in a position which permits its use for two-way radio communications.

(2) During other phases of the flight each flight crew member on the flight deck shall keep his safety belt fastened while at his station.
(b) Passengers
(1) Before take-off and landing, and during taxiing, and whenever deemed necessary in the interest of safety, the commander shall ensure that each passenger on board occupies a seat or berth with his safety belt, or harness where provided, properly secured.
(2) An operator shall make provision for, and the commander shall ensure that multiple occupancy of aeroplane seats may only be allowed on specified seats and does not occur other than by one adult and one infant who is properly secured by a supplementary loop belt or other restraint device.
EU-OPS 1.325 - Securing of passenger cabin and galley(s)
(a) An operator shall establish procedures to ensure that before taxiing, take-off and landing all exits and escape paths are unobstructed.
(b) The commander shall ensure that before take-off and landing, and whenever deemed necessary in the interest of safety, all equipment and baggage is properly secured.
EU–OPS 1.330 - Accessibility of emergency equipment
The commander shall ensure that relevant emergency equipment remains easily accessible for immediate use. EU–OPS 1.335 - Smoking on board
(a) The commander shall ensure that no person on board is allowed to smoke: (1) Whenever deemed necessary in the interest of safety;
(2) While the aeroplane is on the ground unless specifically permitted in accordance with procedures defined in the Operations Manual;
(3) Outside designated smoking areas, in the aisle(s) and in the toilet(s);
(4) In cargo compartments and/or other areas where cargo is carried which is not stored in flame resistant containers or covered by flame resistant canvas; and
(5) In those areas of the cabin where oxygen is being supplied.
EU–OPS 1.340 - Meteorological Conditions
(a) On an IFR flight a commander shall not: (1) Commence take-off; nor
(2) Continue beyond the point from which a revised flight plan applies in the event of in-flight re- planning, unless information is available indicating that the expected weather conditions, at the at the destination and/or required alternate aerodrome(s) prescribed in OPS 1.295 are at or above the planning minima, prescribed in OPS 1.297.
(b) On an IFR flight, a commander shall not continue towards the planned destination aerodrome unless the latest information available indicates that, at the expected time of arrival, the weather conditions at the destination, or at least one destination alternate aerodrome, are at or above the applicable aerodrome operating minima.
(c) On an IFR flight, a commander shall not continue towards the planned destination aerodrome unless the latest information available indicates that, at the expected time of arrival, the weather conditions at the destination, or at least one destination alternate aerodrome, are at or above the planning applicable aerodrome operating minima.
(d) On a VFR flight a commander shall not commence take-off unless current meteorological reports or a combination of current reports and forecasts indicate that the meteorological conditions along the route or that part of the route to be flown under VFR will, at the appropriate time, be such as to render compliance with these rules possible.
EU–OPS 1.345 - Ice and other contaminants – ground procedures - (See ACJ OPS 1.345)
(a) An operator shall establish procedures to be followed when ground de-icing and anti-icing and related inspections of the aeroplane(s) are necessary.
(b) A commander shall not commence take-off unless the external surfaces are clear of any deposit which might adversely affect the performance and/or controllability of the aeroplane except as permitted in the Aeroplane Flight Manual.

(a) An operator shall establish procedures for flights in expected or actual icing conditions. (See ACJ OPS 1.346 and OPS 1.675).
