FCOM PURPOSE
Ident.: GEN-00012627.0001001 / 17 MAR 17
Applicable to: ALL
FCOM PURPOSE
The Flight Crew Operating Manual (FCOM) is a support documentation for flight crew.
The purpose of the FCOM is to:
‐ Provide all necessary operating limitations, procedures, performance and system information
the flight crew needs to safely and efficiently operate A320 family aircraft during normal,
abnormal, and emergency situations
‐ Serve directly as Flight Crew Operating Manual, or as a basis for Operators to develop their
own customized Airline Operations Manual, in accordance with applicable requirements
‐ Serve as a comprehensive reference guide during initial and refresher flight crew training.
Note: This manual is not designed:
‐ To teach basic piloting skills
‐ To provide basic piloting techniques applicable to jet aircraft, or information, that are
considered as basic airmanship for trained flight crews who are familiar with that type
of aircraft and its general handling characteristics.
The Flight Crew Operating Manual (FCOM ) complements the Airplane Flight Manual (AFM).
If the FCOM data differs from the AFM data, the AFM remains the reference.
As a supplement to the FCOM , the FCTM may provide additional information that the flight
crew should read in conjunction with the FCOM. For more information, Refer to FCTM/GI FCTM
Purpose.

Applicable to: ALL
The air conditioning system is fully automatic.
It provides continuous air renewal and maintains a constant, selected temperature in the following
three zones : COCKPIT, FWD CABIN, AFT CABIN. These three zones are independently controlled.
Air is supplied by the pneumatic system, via:
‐ Two pack flow control valves,
‐ Two packs,
‐ The mixing unit, which mixes the air that comes from the cabin and the packs.
Air is then distributed to the cockpit and the cabin.
In an emergency, a ram air inlet can provide ambient air to the mixing unit.
The temperature in the flight deck and in the cabin can be selected from the cockpit's AIR COND
panel. Temperature regulation of the temperature is ensured by a zone controller and two pack
controllers, or two Air Conditioning System Controller (ACSC) .
Temperature regulation is optimized via the hot air pressure regulating valve, and the trim air valves
that add hot air, tapped upstream of the packs, to the air coming from the mixing unit.
A temperature control panel is also available on the Forward Attendant Panel (FAP). During
cruise, the cabin crew can modify each cabin zone temperature that is selected from the cockpit, with
a limited authority of ± 2.5 °C. (± 4.5 °F).
Low-pressure air is supplied to the mixing unit by a ground connection.

AIR CONDITIONING PACK
Ident.: DSC-21-10-20-00017768.0001001 / 21 MAR 16
Applicable to: ALL
The two packs operate automatically and independently of each other. Pack operation is controlled
by signals coming from the pack controller or the Air Conditioning System Controller (ACSC) .
Warm pre-conditioned bleed air enters the cooling path via the pack flow control valve, and is ducted
to the primary heat exchanger.
Then, the cooled bleed air enters the compressor section of the air-cycle machine and is compressed
to a higher pressure and temperature.
It is cooled again in the main heat exchanger and enters the turbine section, where it expands and, in
expanding, generates power to drive the compressor and cooling air fan.
The removal of energy during this process reduces air temperature, resulting in very low air
temperature at turbine discharge.
L3 A water separator system dries the air before it enters the turbine section.

PACK FLOW CONTROL VALVE
Ident.: DSC-21-10-20-00017769.0001001 / 21 MAR 16
Applicable to: ALL
This valve is pneumatically-operated and electrically-controlled. It regulates the air flow in
accordance with signals received from the pack controllers or the ACSC .
In the absence of air pressure, a spring keeps the valve closed.
The valve closes automatically in case of pack overheat, engine start, or operation of the fire or
ditching pushbutton. The valve is controlled from the AIR COND panel.
EMERGENCY RAM AIR
Ident.: DSC-21-10-20-00000301.0001001 / 20 DEC 16
Applicable to: ALL
An emergency ram air inlet ventilates the cockpit and cabin to remove smoke, or if both packs fail.
The emergency ram air inlet valve is controlled by the RAM AIR pushbutton on the AIR COND panel.
This pushbutton opens the ram air valve, provided that ditching is not selected.
When the RAM AIR pushbutton is ON : The outflow valve opens about 50 %, provided that it is under
automatic control and ΔP is less than 1 PSI. The outflow valve does not automatically open if it is
under manual control, even if ΔP is less than 1 PSI. If ΔP is greater than 1 PSI, the check valve
located downstream the ram air door will not open, even if the ram air door has been selected open.
No airflow will then be supplied.

Temperature regulation is automatic and controlled by one zone controller and two pack controllers,
or the ACSC .
TEMPERATURE REGULATION
Ident.: DSC-21-10-30-00017773.0001001 / 21 MAR 16
Applicable to: ALL
Temperature regulation is achieved by the zone controller or the ACSC .
The zone controller regulates the temperature of the two cabin zones and the cockpit. The ACSC 2
regulates the temperature of the two cabin zones, and the ACSC 1 regulates the cockpit
temperature.
BASIC TEMPERATURE REGULATION
The flight crew uses the temperature selectors on the air conditioning panel to select the reference
temperatures. The zone controller or the ACSC computes a temperature demand from the
selected temperature and the actual temperature. The reference temperatures are then fine tuned
for each cabin zone through the temperature control panel installed on the FAP.
The actual temperature is measured by sensors:
‐ In the cockpit, for the cockpit zone;
‐ In the lavatory extraction circuit and galley ventilation system, for the cabin.
A signal corresponding to the lowest demanded zone temperature goes to the pack controller or
the ACSC , which then make both packs supply the required outlet temperature.
OPTIMIZED TEMPERATURE REGULATION
The zone controller or the ACSC optimizes temperature by acting on the trim air valves.
The temperature selection range is from 18 °C (64 °F) to 30 °C (86 °F).
AIR CONDITIONING SYSTEM CONTROLLERS
Ident.: DSC-21-10-30-00017775.0001001 / 20 DEC 16
Applicable to: ALL
Each air conditioning system controller regulates the temperature of its associated pack, by
modulating the bypass valve and the ram air inlet flap.
The ram air inlet flap closes during takeoff and landing to avoid the ingestion of foreign matter.

FCOM ← C 22 MAR 17
Note: During takeoff, the ram air inlet flap closes when takeoff power is set, and the main landing
gear struts are compressed.
During landing, it closes as soon as the main landing gear struts are compressed, as long
as speed is at or above 70 kt.
It opens 20 s after the speed drops below 70 kt.
The air conditioning system controllers also regulate flow by modulating the associated pack flow
control valve.
PACK FLOW CONTROL
The flight crew can use the PACK FLOW selector to adjust the pack flow for the number of
passengers and for external conditions.
Whatever the crew selects, the system delivers higher flow for any of the following circumstances:
‐ In single-pack operation,
‐ When the APU is supplying bleed air.
The system delivers normal flow if the flight crew selects LO flow and the temperature demand
cannot be satisfied.
ENGINE PRESSURE DEMAND
When the cooling demand in one zone cannot be satisfied, if the bleed pressure is too low, the
air conditioning system controller sends a pressure demand signal to both Engine Interface
Units (EIU) to increase the minimum idle and to raise the bleed pressure.
APU FLOW DEMAND
When the APU bleed valve is open, the air conditioning system controller signals the APU 's
Electronic Control Box (ECB ) to increase the APU flow output when any zone temperature
demand cannot be satisfied.

Applicable to: ALL
If the Air Cycle Machine (ACM) fails (compressor/turbine seizure), the affected pack may be operated
in heat exchanger cooling mode.
Warm pre-conditioned bleed air enters the cooling path via the pack valve and goes to the primary
heat exchanger. Then, the main part of the cooled air goes directly downstream of ACM turbine
through the bypass valve, and the rest goes through the failed ACM.
The ACM seizure reduces the pack flow.
As for normal pack operation :
‐ The air conditioning system controller regulates temperature by modulating the bypass valve and
the ram air inlet flap.
‐ The air conditioning system controller regulates the hot air flow through the trim air valves to
optimize cockpit/cabin temperature regulation. Hot air flow is lower than in normal pack operation,
because pack flow is reduced.

2. It remains closed on the starting engine side (provided the crossbleed valve
is closed) when:
‐ The MASTER sw is set to ON (or MAN START pb is set to ON)
‐ The start valve is open
‐ N2 < 50 %.
Note: If the crossbleed valve is open at engine start, both pack flow
control valves close.
3. On ground, reopening of the valves is delayed for 30 s to avoid a
supplementary pack closure cycle during second engine start.

GENERAL
Ident.: DSC-21-20-10-00017903.0001001 / 21 MAR 16
Applicable to: ALL
The cabin pressurization system has four general functions:
‐ Ground function : Fully opens the outflow valve on ground
‐ Prepressurization : During takeoff, increases cabin pressure to avoid a surge in cabin
pressure during rotation
‐ Pressurization in flight : Adjusts cabin altitude, and rate of change to provide passengers with
a comfortable flight
‐ Depressurization : After touchdown, gradually releases residual cabin overpressure
before the ground function fully opens the outflow valve.
The system consists of:
‐ Two Cabin Pressure Controllers (CPC)
‐ One Residual Pressure Control Unit (RPCU )
‐ One outflow valve, with an actuator that incorporates three motors (two for automatic operation,
one for manual operation)
‐ One control panel
‐ Two safety valves.
Any one of the three independent electric motors may power the outflow valve.
Normally, one of the two cabin pressure controllers operates the outflow valve by means of its
associated automatic motor.
In case of ditching, an override switch on the control panel allows the flight crew to close the outflow
valve and all valves below the flotation line.
The flight crew can set the system to operate automatically, semi-automatically, or manually.
In normal operation, cabin pressurization is fully automatic.
AUTOMATIC OPERATION
Ident.: DSC-21-20-10-00000323.0001001 / 21 MAR 16
Applicable to: ALL
The flight crew monitors the operation of the system, but does nothing to control it. Air pressure in
the cabin follows external schedules that the system receives as signals from the Flight Management
and Guidance System (FMGS).
When FMGS data is not available for automatic pressurization, the crew only needs to select the
landing field elevation.
The pressurization system then uses the manually-selected landing field elevation for internal
schedules.

CABIN PRESSURE CONTROLLERS
Ident.: DSC-21-20-20-00000326.0001001 / 21 MAR 16
Applicable to: ALL
Two identical, independent, digital controllers automatically control the system, by maintaining the
proper cabin pressure. They receive signals from the Air Data Inertial Reference System (ADIRS ),
the Flight Management and Guidance Computer (FMGC ), the Engine Interface Unit (EIU ), and the
Landing Gear Control Interface Unit (LGCIU).
When the system is in automatic or semi-automatic mode, one controller is active, the other is on
standby.
The controllers also generate signals for the Electronic Centralized Aircraft Monitoring (ECAM).
For operation in manual mode, each controller has a backup section, which is powered by an
independent power supply in the controller N°1 position. This section also has a pressure sensor that
generates the cabin altitude and pressure signal for the ECAM , when MAN mode is selected.
The controllers communicate with each other via a cross-channel link.
OUTFLOW VALVE
Ident.: DSC-21-20-20-00000327.0001001 / 21 MAR 16
Applicable to: ALL
The outflow valve is on the right-hand side of fuselage, behind the aft cargo compartment and below
the flotation line.
The outflow valve assembly consists of a flush, skin-mounted, rectangular frame, carrying inward and
outward opening flaps linked to the actuator. The actuator contains the drives of the two automatic
motors and the manual motor. Either of two automatic motors operates the valve in automatic mode,
and the manual motor operates it in manual mode.
In automatic mode, the operating controller signals the position of the valve to the ECAM.
In manual mode, the backup section of the N° 1 controller signals the position of the valve to the
ECAM.
Note: When the RAM AIR pushbutton is ON, and Δp is below 1 PSI, the system drives the outflow
valve about 50 % open if it is under automatic control. If the system is under manual
control, the outflow valve does not automatically open, even if Δp is below 1 PSI.
SAFETY VALVES
Ident.: DSC-21-20-20-00000328.0001001 / 21 MAR 16
Applicable to: ALL
Two independent pneumatic safety valves prevent cabin pressure from going too high (8.6 PSI
above ambient) or too low (1 PSI below ambient).
They are located on the rear pressure bulkhead, above the flotation line.

AUTOMATIC PRESSURE CONTROL MODE
Ident.: DSC-21-20-30-00000329.0001001 / 14 NOV 11
Applicable to: ALL
GENERAL
‐ Two identical, independent, automatic systems (each consisting of a controller and its
associated motors) control cabin pressure.
Either system controls the single outflow valve.
Only one controller operates at a time.
An automatic transfer occurs:
• 70 s after each landing.
• If the operating system fails.
‐ The controller automatically controls the cabin pressure. It limits the cabin pressure to 8 000 ft
maximum and optimizes it during climb and descent phases.
‐ The controller normally uses the landing elevation and the QNH from the FMGC , and the
pressure altitude from ADIRS.
If FMGC data are not available, the controller uses the captain BARO Reference from the
ADIRS and the LDG ELEV selection.
‐ Pressurization is assumed through the following modes:
GROUND (GN)
Before takeoff, and 55 s after landing, the outflow valve fully opens to ensure that there is no
residual cabin pressure. At touchdown, any remaining cabin pressure is released at a cabin
vertical speed of 500 ft/min.
TAKEOFF (TO)
To avoid a pressure surge at rotation, the controller pre-pressurizes the aircraft at a rate of
400 ft/min, until the ΔP reaches 0.1 PSI. At liftoff, the controller initiates the climb phase.
CLIMB (CL)
During climb, the cabin altitude varies according to a fixed pre-programmed law that takes into
account the aircraft’s actual rate of climb.
CRUISE (CR)
During cruise, the controller maintains cabin altitude at the level-off value, or at the landing field
elevation, whichever is higher.

DESCENT (DE)
During descent, the controller maintains a cabin rate of descent, such that the cabin pressure is
equal to the landing field pressure +0.1 PSI, shortly before landing.
The maximum descent rate is 750 ft/min.
ABORT (AB)
If the aircraft does not climb after takeoff, the abort mode prevents the cabin altitude from
climbing.
Cabin pressure is set back to the takeoff altitude +0.1 PSI.

If both automatic systems fail, the flight crew may use the CABIN PRESS control panel to take over
manual control of cabin pressurization.
• Release the MODE SEL pushbutton to select MAN, and
• Push the MAN V/S CTL switch UP or DN to increase or decrease cabin altitude.
The first of these actions cuts off power to the AUTO motors, and enables the MAN motor to control
the outflow valve.

The avionics ventilation system is fully automatic.
It cools the electrical and electronic components in the avionics compartment and on the flight deck,
including the instrument and circuit breaker panels. It uses two electric fans to force the circulation of
cooling air.
Whatever the configuration of the avionics ventilation system is, a part of the avionics ventilation air
is sucked from the cockpit through the different cockpit panels.
MAIN COMPONENTS
Ident.: DSC-21-30-20-00017791.0001001 / 21 MAR 16
Applicable to: ALL
FANS
Two electric fans continuously circulate air around the avionics equipment, when the aircraft is
electrically supplied.
The Fan Speed Controller (FSC) controls the avionics ventilation fan speed as a function of
temperature::
1. High speed when the ventilation air temperature is above +40 °C (104 °F )
2. Low speed when the ventilation air temperature is below +35 °C ( 95 °F)
SKIN AIR INLET AND OUTLET VALVES
These valves admit air from outside the aircraft and evacuate hot air from the avionics equipment.
SKIN EXCHANGE INLET AND OUTLET BYPASS VALVES
These valves enable air to circulate between the avionics bay and the space under the cargo
compartment floor.
AIR CONDITIONING INLET VALVE
This valve opens to enable the air conditioning circuit to supply fresh air to the avionics bay.
SKIN EXCHANGE ISOLATION VALVE
This valve connects or isolates the skin heat exchanger.
AVIONICS EQUIPMENT VENTILATION CONTROLLER (AEVC)
The AEVC controls the operation of all fans and valves in the avionics ventilation system.

CARGO VENTILATION
An extraction fan draws air from forward cargo compartment or aft cargo compartment, and
exhausts it overboard. Air from the cabin replaces the exhausted air, thus ventilating the cargo
compartments.
CARGO TEMPERATURE REGULATION
The system can mix hot bleed air with the air coming from the cabin, therefore giving the flight
crew control of the temperature in the forward or aft cargo compartment.

Applicable to: ALL
Air from the cabin goes via the inlet isolation valve to the forward cargo compartment, driven either
by an extraction fan or by differential pressure in flight. A skin-mounted venturi discharges the air
overboard via the outlet isolation valve. The cargo ventilation controller controls the operation of the
inlet and outlet isolation valves and the extraction fan.
The ventilation system operates in two modes:
‐ On the ground or when ▵P ≤ 1 PSI in flight, the controller opens the isolation valves, then starts
the extraction fan
‐ In flight when ▵P > 1 PSI, the controller stops the fan, and differential pressure maintains the
ventilation.
The controller closes the isolation valves and stops the extraction fan when:
‐ The flight crew sets the FWD ISOL VALVE pb-sw to OFF, or
‐ The forward cargo smoke detection unit detects smoke.
The outlet valve closes and the extraction fan stops when the flight crew sets the DITCHING pb-sw
to ON.

Applicable to: ALL
The ventilation system for the aft cargo compartment uses hot engine bleed air (upstream of the
packs), mixing it with the ambient cabin air that flows through the cargo compartment.
The cargo regulating valve regulates the pressure of this hot air supply, and the trim air valve, which
is modulated electrically by the controller, controls the flow.
The cargo pressure regulating valve is pneumatically operated and electrically controlled from the
HOT AIR pb on the CARGO HEAT panel.
The hot air is controlled by the cargo trim air valve which is modulated electrically by the controller.
The hot air is then mixed with air from the cabin and supplied to the cargo compartment through the
ventilation inlet isolation valve.
According to the temperature selector demand, the controller regulates the amount of hot air added
by the trim air valve, until the desired temperature is reached.
If the inlet temperature exceeds 70 °C, the controller closes the trim air valve.
If the inlet temperature exceeds 88 °C, the controller interprets this as a duct overheat and closes the
pressure regulating valve. This valve then remains closed until the flight crew resets the system by
pressing the HOT AIR pb — which it cannot do until the temperature drops below 70 °C.

Applicable to: ALL
The ventilation system for the forward cargo compartment uses hot engine bleed air, which is also
used for cockpit and cabin temperature control, mixing it with the ambient cabin air that flows through
the cargo compartment.
The cockpit and cabin hot air pressure regulating valve regulates the pressure of this hot air supply,
and the cargo trim air valve, which is modulated electrically by the controller, controls the flow.
The hot air mixes with air from the cabin as it supplied to the cargo compartment through the
ventilation inlet isolation valve.
The controller regulates the amount of hot air added by the trim air valve to get the desired
temperature, per the temperature selector.
If the inlet temperature exceeds 70 °C, the controller closes the trim air valve. If the inlet temperature
reaches 88 °C, the controller interprets this as a duct overhead and closes the pressure regulating
valve. This valve then remains closed until the flight crew resets the system by pressing the HOT AIR
pb - which it cannot do until the temperature drops below 70 °C.

GENERAL PHILOSOPHY
Ident.: DSC-22_10-10-00010069.0001001 / 17 AUG 10
Applicable to: ALL
The Flight Management and Guidance System (FMGS) provides predictions of flight time, mileage,
speed, economy profiles and altitude.
It reduces cockpit workload, improves efficiency, and eliminates many routine operations generally
performed by the flight crew.

FCOM ← D to E → 24 JAN 17
The Flight Management Guidance System (FMGS) operates as follows:
‐ During cockpit preparation the flight crew uses the Multipurpose Control and Display Unit (MCDU
) to insert a preplanned route from origin to destination. This route includes SID , EN ROUTE,
WAYPOINTS, STAR , APPROACH, MISSED APPR , and ALTN route as available from the
navigation database.
‐ Subsequently the system defines a vertical profile and a speed profile, taking into account ATC
requirements and performance criteria.
Either FMGC performs all operations, if one FMGC fails.
The FMGS computes the aircraft position continually, using stored aircraft performance data and
navigation data. Therefore it can steer the aircraft along a preplanned route and vertical and speed
profiles. This type of guidance is said to be “managed”.
If the flight crew wants to modify any flight parameter (SPD , V/S , HDG , etc.) temporarily, they may
do so by using the various Flight Control Unit (FCU ) selectors. The FMGS then guides the aircraft
to the target value of this parameter that they have selected. This type of guidance is said to be
“selected”.
The two available types of guidance, then, are:
‐ Managed guidance guides the aircraft along the preplanned route and the vertical and
speed/Mach profile. (The FMGS computes the target values of the various flight parameters).
‐ Selected guidance guides the aircraft to the target values of the various flight parameters the flight
crew selects by using the FCU selectors.
Selected guidance always has priority over managed guidance.
FLIGHT MANAGEMENT GUIDANCE COMPUTER (FMGC)
Ident.: DSC-22_10-10-00010073.0002001 / 17 AUG 10
Applicable to: ALL
Each FMGC is divided into two main parts:
‐ The Flight Management (FM) part controls the following functions:
• Navigation and management of navigation radios
• Management of flight planning
• Prediction and optimization of performance
• Display management.
‐ The Flight Guidance (FG) part performs the following functions:
• Autopilot (AP) command
• Flight Director (FD) command
• Autothrust (A/THR) command.
Each FMGC has its own set of databases. The individual databases can be independently loaded
into their respective FMGC , or independently copied from one FMGC to the other.

FCOM ← E to G → 24 JAN 17
Each FMGC contains these main databases:
1. The Navigation database (2.8 Mbytes) contains standard navigation data: Navaids, waypoints,
airways, enroute information, holding patterns, airports, runways, procedures (SID s, STARs, etc.),
company routes, alternates.
The airline updates this part every 28 days, and is responsible for defining, acquiring, updating,
loading, and using this data. The updating operation takes 20 min to complete or 5 min if cross
loaded from the opposite FMGC.
2. The Airline Modifiable Information (AMI ), also described as the FM Airline Configuration file,
contains:
‐ Airline policy values: THR RED altitude, ACC altitude, EO ACC altitude, PERF factor, IDLE
factor.
‐ Fuel policy values: Fuel for taxi, % of route reserve, maximum and minimum values of route
reserve, etc.
‐ AOC functions customization.
3. The Aircraft Performance database includes the Engine model, Aerodynamical model, and
Performance model. The airline cannot modify this database.
4. The Magnetic Variation database.
5. Each FMGC contains elements stored by the flight crew that enable them to create 20 waypoints,
10 runways, 20 navaids, and 5 routes.
MULTIPURPOSE CONTROL AND DISPLAY UNIT (MCDU)
Ident.: DSC-22_10-10-00010074.0002001 / 17 AUG 10
Applicable to: ALL
Two MCDU s are installed on the pedestal for flight crew loading and display of data. The use of
the MCDU allows the flight crew to interface with the FMGC by selection of a flight plan for lateral
and vertical trajectories and speed profiles. The flight crew may also modify selected navigation
or performance data and specific functions of Flight Management (revised flight plan, engine-out,
secondary flight plan, etc.). Additional data from peripherals (Centralized Fault Display System
(CFDS ), ARINC Communication Addressing and Reporting System (ACARS ), Air Traffic Service
Unit (ATSU )...) can also be displayed. Data that is entered into the MCDU that is illogical or beyond
the aircraft capabilities will either be disregarded or will generate an advisory message.
The MCDU s allow the activation of the back–up navigation in the case of a dual FM Failure.
FLIGHT CONTROL UNIT (FCU)
Ident.: DSC-22_10-10-00010075.0001001 / 17 AUG 10
Applicable to: ALL
The FCU located on the glareshield, is the short-term interface between the flight crew and the
FMGC . It is used to select any flight parameters or modify those selected in the MCDU. The

autopilots and autothrust functions may be engaged or disengaged. Different guidance modes can
be selected to change various targets (speed, heading, track, altitude, flight path angle, vertical
speed).
FLIGHT AUGMENTATION COMPUTER (FAC)
Ident.: DSC-22_10-10-00010076.0001001 / 17 AUG 10
Applicable to: ALL
The FAC controls rudder, rudder trim and yaw damper inputs. It computes data for the flight envelope
and speed functions. The FAC also provides warning for low-energy and windshear detection if these
functions are installed.
OTHER FLIGHT CREW INTERFACES
Applicable to: ALL
Ident.: DSC-22_10-10-A-00010077.0001001 / 23 JUN 15
THRUST LEVERS
The thrust levers are the main interface between the Flight Management Guidance Computer
(FMGC ), the Full Authority Digital Engine Control System (FADEC), and the flight crew.
The thrust levers:
‐ Arm the autothrust at takeoff, when FLX or TOGA is selected
‐ Limit the maximum thrust by their position when autothrust is active
‐ Disconnect the autothrust system when the flight crew sets them to IDLE
‐ Command the thrust manually when autothrust is not active
‐ Engage the common modes (takeoff or go-around) when TOGA (or FLX for takeoff) is set
‐ Set the autothrust to the active mode when they are between IDLE and CL detent (MCT in
engine out).
Ident.: DSC-22_10-10-A-00010078.0001001 / 17 AUG 10
ELECTRONIC FLIGHT INSTRUMENTS (EFIS)
Two Primary Flight Displays (PFD ) and Navigation Displays (ND ) provide the flight crew with
full-time flight guidance, navigation and system advisory information for all flight phases. An EFIS
control panel is located at each end of the glareshield and is used to control both Primary and
Navigation Displays. This panel includes controls to select various modes within the PFD . A
selector allows the barometric altimeter setting to be displayed on the PFD . Various distance
ranges can be selected on the ND , and two switches allow either the left or right VOR /ADF
bearing pointers to be displayed on the ND.

Applicable to: ALL
The FMGS has four modes of operation:
‐ Dual mode (the normal mode)
‐ Independent mode. Each FMGC being controlled by its associated MCDU
‐ Single mode (using one FMGC only)
‐ Back–up navigation mode.
DUAL MODE
Ident.: DSC-22_10-30-00010086.0001001 / 01 OCT 12
Applicable to: ALL
This is the normal mode. The two FMGCs are synchronized: each performs its own computations
and exchanges data with the other through a crosstalk bus.
One FMGC is the master, the other the slave, so that some data in the slave FMGC comes from the
master.
All data inserted into any MCDU is transferred to both FMGCs and to all peripherals.

MASTER FMGC LOGIC
‐ If one autopilot (AP ) is engaged, the related FMGC is master:
• It uses the onside FD for guidance
• It controls the A/THR
• It controls the FMA 1 and 2.
‐ If two AP s are engaged, FMGC1 is master.
‐ If no AP is engaged, and
• The FD1 pb is on, then FMGC1 is master
• The FD1 pb is off, and FD2 pb on then FMGC2 is master.
‐ If no AP /FD is engaged, A/THR is controlled by FMGC1.
INDEPENDENT MODE
Ident.: DSC-22_10-30-00010087.0001001 / 01 OCT 12
Applicable to: ALL
The system automatically selects this degraded mode under specific abnormal conditions (e.g.
different database validity on both FMGCs).
Both FMGCs work independently and are linked only to peripherals on their own sides of the flight
deck (“onside” peripherals).
When this occurs, the “INDEPENDENT OPERATION” message is displayed on both MCDU
scratchpads.

FCOM ← C 24 JAN 17
Each MCDU transmits data it receives from its onside FMGC . It affects only the onside EFIS
(Electronic Flight Instrument System) and RMP (Radio Management Panel).
On the POS MONITOR page (and GPS MONITOR page ), FMGS position (and GPS position
) from the opposite FMGC is not displayed.
On the RAD NAV page (and PROG page, if the FMGS GPS is not installed), navaids tuned on the
opposite MCDU are not displayed. Corresponding fields are blank.
PROCEDURES ON GROUND
If each FMGC is loaded with a different database, the FMGS will only operate in
independent mode.
CHECK the database number and validity.
CROSSLOAD the database to restore the dual operation.
Crossload function is available on ground only (in preflight or done phase), when an
independent operation is detected.
PROCEDURES IN FLIGHT
DO NOT SWITCH the navigation databases.
MAKE the same entries on both MCDU s to have both AP /FDs similar orders.
Both FG s being valid, 2 AP s may be engaged for CAT II or CAT III operations.
In the event of a go-around and when the second AP is disconnected:
ENSURE that the FMGC in command has correct flight plan orders and an updated nav
database.
Airbus does not recommend pulling one FMGC circuit breaker to force the system to operate
in SINGLE mode.

Ident.: DSC-22_10-30-00010088.0004001 / 01 OCT 12
Applicable to: ALL
The system automatically selects this degraded mode when one FMGC fails.
When this occurs, the failed FMGC displays “OPP FMGC IN PROCESS” in white on the MCDU
scratchpad.
On the ND usually associated with the failed FM:
‐ If the ND s are not both in the same mode or range, the associated ND displays "MAP NOT
AVAIL" and "SET OFFSIDE RNG/MODE".
‐ If the ND s are in the same mode and range, the associated ND displays the "OFFSIDE FM
CONTROL" amber message.
Both POS MONITOR pages display the same position (operative FMGC position).
Both FD s are driven by the same FMGC . Any entry on either MCDU is sent to the operative FMGC.
PROCEDURES
If a transient failure triggers a single mode of operation:
DO NOT USE the MCDU(s) until the PLEASE WAIT message is suppressed.
SET both NDs on the same range and mode to display the same information from the
operative FMGC.

displays if the data is out of range or not formatted correctly. To correct data, the flight crew may
clear the message with the clear (CLR) key and then retype the message into the scratchpad.
Pressing the CLR key when the scratchpad is empty displays “CLR”. To clear data from a field,
select CLR from the scratchpad to the data field to be cleared.

MCDU ENTRY FORMAT
The flight crew enters information into the MCDU at the bottom line of the scratchpad. When data
has lead zeros, they may be omitted if desired. For example a three-digit wind direction of 060
may be typed as 60. The display will still show 060. To enter an altitude below 1 000 ft, the lead
zero must be added as 0400 for 400 ft. This differentiates the altitude from a flight level.
To enter a double data entry such a speed/altitude, the separating slash must be used. If entering
only the first part of a double entry, omit the slash. To enter only the second part of a double entry,
a leading slash must be used i.e. /0400.

MESSAGES
The scratchpad displays various messages for flight crew information. Theses messages are
prioritized by importance to the flight crew as either amber or white.
Amber messages are:
‐ Navigation messages
‐ Data entry messages
‐ EFIS repeat messages.

DIR Calls up the DIR TO page, and enables the flight crew to proceed directly from
the present position to any waypoint, entered manually or selected in the active
flight plan.
PROG Calls up the progress page corresponding to the phase of the active flight plan
that is in progress.
This page displays navigation information and active data such as the optimum
and maximum recommended cruise flight levels. It enables the flight crew to
update the FMGS position and to obtain a bearing and distance to any location.
PERF Calls up the performance pages, that display the optimum speed or Mach number
for each phase. The flight crew can amend these pages. The first page to be
displayed is the one corresponding to the current flight phase (except for preflight
and done phases).
The flight crew can then use the appropriate 6L or 6R LSK to call up pages
corresponding to future flight phases.
INIT Calls up the flight plan initialization A page, which also gives the flight crew
access to the B page. The flight crew uses the INIT pages to initialize Flight
Management for the flight.
The flight crew uses the INIT A page primarily to insert his flight plan and to align
the inertial reference system.
The flight crew uses the INIT B page to insert aircraft weight, fuel on board, CG
and various fuel requirements. The FMGS uses this data to compute predictions
and fuel planning parameters.
The flight crew has access to the INIT A page only in the preflight phase.
INIT B page (not accessible after engine start) is called up by pressing the "NEXT
PAGE" key.
DATA Calls up the data index page. This gives the flight crew access to various
reference pages that show aircraft position, aircraft status, runways, waypoints,
navaids, routes, and data stored by the flight crew.
F-PLN Calls up the flight plan A and B pages, which contain a leg-by-leg description of
the active primary flight plan.
The flight crew can use the slewing keys to review the entire active flight plan.
They can make all lateral and vertical revisions to the flight plan through these
pages, using the left LSKs for lateral revision and the right keys for vertical
revision.
RAD NAV Calls up the radio navigation page. This page displays the Radio Navaids tuned
automatically or manually through the FMGC.

The Flight Control Unit (FCU ) is located on the glareshield and is constituted of three control panels:
One for the automatic flight controls and two for the Electronic Flight Instrument System (EFIS ). The
FCU has two channels, each of which can independently command the central control panel. If one
channel fails, the other channel can control all the functions.
FCU PHILOSOPHY

Applicable to: ALL
The flight crew can use two types of guidance to control the aircraft in auto flight. One type is
managed by the Flight Management Guidance System (FMGS). The other uses target quantities
which are manually entered by the flight crew.
When the aircraft uses target quantities from the FMGS (managed guidance), the FCU windows
display dashes and the white dots next to those windows light up. When the aircraft uses target
quantities, entered by the flight crew (selected guidance), the windows display the selected numbers
and the white dots do not light up.

Note: The altitude window always displays an altitude selected by the flight crew (never dashes).
The FCU has four knobs:
‐ SPD-MACH
‐ HDG -TRK
‐ ALT
‐ V/S -FPA.
The knobs can be rotated, pushed in, and pulled out:
‐ In order to arm or engage managed guidance for a given mode, the flight crew pushes in the
associated knob. If, for example, they push in the HDG knob, they engage or arms the NAV mode.
‐ In order to engage a selected guidance mode, the flight crew turns the knob to set the desired
value, then pulls the knob out to engage the mode with a target value equal to the selected value.
Note: In managed guidance (lateral, vertical guidance or managed speed), the corresponding
window is dashed. Turning a knob without pulling it, displays a value that is the sum of the
current target and the turn action value. The display remains 45 s on the HDG /TRK and
V/S windows and 10 s on the SPD/MACH window before the dashes reappear. This rule
does not apply to the ALT knob/window.

1 click = 0.1 °
The flight crew turns this knob to set the value of the vertical speed (V/S ) or flight path angle (FPA
) to be displayed in the V/S or FPA window (They choose which, V/S or FPA, is to be displayed by
pushing the HDG V/S - TRK FPA pb).
One rotation of the knob corresponds to 32 clicks. One complete rotation sets:
FPA = 3.2 °
V/S = 1 600 ft/min
When the flight crew pushes in the V/S or FPA knob, the system commands an immediate level-off
by engaging the V/S or FPA mode with a target of zero. The flight mode annunciator (FMA ) then
displays "V/S = 0" in green when V/S or FPA is nulled. If the flight crew now turns the knob to put
in a new setting for V/S or FPA, the aircraft changes flight path accordingly.

Applicable to: ALL
The characteristic speeds displayed on the PFD are computed by the Flight Augmentation Computer
(FAC), according to aerodynamic data.
VLS (of normal landing configuration: CONF 3 or FULL), F, S and Green Dot speeds are also
displayed on the MCDU TAKEOFF and/or APPR pages.
The speeds displayed by the MCDU are computed by the FMS , based on the aircraft gross weight
(which is computed according to the entered ZFW and the FOB), or the predicted gross weight (for
approach or go-around).
VS : Stalling speed.
Not displayed.
For a conventional aircraft, the reference stall speed, VSmin, is based on a load factor
that is less than 1 g. This gives a stall speed that is lower than the stall speed at 1 g. All
operating speeds are expressed as functions of this speed (for example, VREF = 1.3
VSmin).
Because aircraft of the A320 family have a low-speed protection feature (alpha limit) that
the flight crew cannot override, Airworthiness Authorities have reconsidered the definition of
stall speed for these aircraft.
All the operating speeds must be referenced to a speed that can be demonstrated by flight
tests. This speed is designated VS1g.
Airworthiness Authorities have agreed that a factor of 0.94 represents the relationship
between VS1g for aircraft of the A320 family and VSmin for conventional aircraft types. As a
result, Authorities allow aircraft of the A320 family to use the following factors :
V2 = 1.2 × 0.94 VS1g = 1.13 VS1g
VREF = 1.3 × 0.94 VS1g = 1.23 VS1g
These speeds are identical to those that the conventional 94 % rule would have defined for
these aircraft. The A318, A319, A320 and A321 have exactly the same maneuver margin
that a conventional aircraft would have at its reference speeds.
The FCOM uses VS for VS1g.

VLS : Lowest Selectable Speed.
Represented by the top of an amber strip along the airspeed scale on the PFD.
Computed by the FAC, based on aerodynamic data, and corresponds to 1.13 VS during
takeoff, or following a touch and go.
Becomes 1.23 VS, after retraction of one step of flaps.
Becomes 1.28 VS, when in clean configuration.
Note: If in CONF 0 VLS were 1.23 VS (instead of 1.28 VS), the alpha protection strip
would hit the VLS strip on the PFD.
Above 20 000 ft, VLS is corrected for Mach effect to maintain a buffet margin of 0.2 g.
In addition, VLS increases when the speedbrakes are extended.
F : Minimum speed at which the flaps may be retracted at takeoff.
In approach, used as a target speed when the aircraft is in CONF 2 or CONF 3.
Represented by “F” on the PFD speed scale. Equal to about 1.18 VS to 1.22 VS of CONF 1
+ F.
S : Minimum speed at which the slats may be retracted at takeoff.
In approach, used as a target speed when the aircraft is in CONF 1.
Represented by “S” on the PFD airspeed scale.
Equal to about 1.22 VS to 1.25 VS of clean configuration.
O : Green dot speed.
Engine-out operating speed in clean configuration.
(Best lift-to-drag ratio speed).
Also corresponds to the final takeoff speed.
Represented by a green dot on the PFD scale.
Below 20 000 ft equal to 2 × weight (tons) +85
Above 20 000 ft, add 1 kt per 1 000 ft

Vα PROT, Vα MAX and VSW are computed by the FAC , based on aerodynamic data. They
are only used for display on the PFD , and not for flight control protection (the activation of the
protections is computed by the ELAC).
Vα PROT : Angle of attack protection speed.
Corresponds to the angle of attack at which the angle of attack protection becomes
active.
Represented by the top of a black and amber strip along the PFD speed scale, in
normal law.
Vα MAX : Maximum angle of attack speed.
Corresponds to the maximum angle of attack that may be reached in pitch normal
law.
Represented by the top of a red strip along the PFD speed scale, in normal law.
VSW : Stall warning speed.
Represented by a red and black strip along the speed scale when the flight control
normal law is inoperative.
VMAX : Represented by the bottom of a red and black strip along the speed scale.
Determined by the FAC according to the aircraft configuration.
Is equal to VMO (or speed corresponding to MMO ), VLE or VFE.

Each FMGC computes its own aircraft position (called the "FM position") from a MIX IRS position and
a computed radio position, or a GPS position.
The FMGS selects the most accurate position, considering the estimated accuracy and integrity of
each positioning equipment.
GPS /INERTIAL is the basic navigation mode, provided GPS data is valid and successfully tested.
Otherwise, navaids plus inertial or inertial only are used. (Refer to DSC-22_20-20-10 Navigation
Modes).
MIX IRS POSITION
Ident.: DSC-22_20-20-10-00010131.0002001 / 01 OCT 12
Applicable to: ALL
Each FMGC receives a position from each of the three IRS s, and computes a mean-weighted
average called the “MIX IRS” position:

‐ If one of the IRS s drifts abnormally, the MIX IRS position uses an algorithm that decreases the
influence of the drifting IRS within the MIX IRS position.
‐ If one of the IRS s fails, each FMGC uses only one IRS (onside IRS or IRS 3). Each IRS position
and inertial speed are continuously tested. If the test fails, the corresponding IRS is rejected.
‐ When the "CHECK IRS (1, 2 or 3)/FM POSITION" message appears on the MCDU.
GPS POSITION
Ident.: DSC-22_20-20-10-00010132.0002001 / 23 JUN 15
Applicable to: ALL
Each IRS computes a mixed IRS /GPS position called the GPIRS position. For this, each IRS can
independently select their GPS source in order to maximize the availability of GPS data.
Of the three GPIRS positions that each FMGC receives, the FMS selects one GPIRS position based
on a figure of merit and priority.
The FMS uses the following hierarchy to perform the selection:
‐ Onside GPIRS position
‐ GPIRS 3
‐ Opposite GPIRS position.
If the GPIRS data does not comply with an integrity criterion that is based on a Horizontal Integrity
Limit (HIL) and on the automatic detection of failed satellites, the FMS rejects the GPS mode and
uses the radio position update.
The flight crew can deselect/select the GPS position on the SELECTED NAVAIDS page, if
necessary.

Information about the GPS position is displayed on the GPS MONITOR page.
Note: In nominal case, ADIRU 1 selects GPS 1 and ADIRU 2 selects GPS 2. The GPS selection

FM POSITION
Ident.: DSC-22_20-20-10-00010135.0017001 / 17 AUG 10
Applicable to: ALL
At flight initialization, each FMGC displays an FM position that is a MIX IRS /GPS position (GPIRS):
‐ At takeoff, when the FM position is updated to the runway threshold position as stored in the
database, possibly corrected by the takeoff shift entered on PERF TO page.
‐ In flight, the FM position approaches the radio position or the GPS position at a rate depending
upon the aircraft altitude.
Note: The FM position update at takeoff is inhibited when GPS PRIMARY is active.
BIAS
Each FMGC computes a vector from its MIX IRS position to the radio position or GPIRS position.
This vector is called the “bias”.
Each FMGC updates its bias continuously as long as a radio position or a GPIRS position is
available.
If an FMGC loses its radio/GPIRS position, it memorizes the bias and uses it to compute the FM
position, which equals the MIX IRS position plus the bias. Until the radio or the GPIRS position is
restored, the bias does not change.
The flight crew can update the FM position manually. This also updates the bias.

When in IRS /GPS mode, the GPS PRIMARY status combines two different criteria:
‐ The accuracy criterion previously described (HIGH/LOW accuracy)
‐ An integrity criterion: This is the capability to detect a failure and provide appropriate warning of it.
This criterion indicates the confidence that the flight crew can have in the FMS position.
If the GPS PRIMARY status complies with both criteria, "GPS PRIMARY" is displayed on the MCDU
(PROG page, [5R] field and scratchpad) and temporarily on the ND.
If the GPS PRIMARY status no longer complies with one of these criteria (Navigation downgraded
or integrity lost), the GPS PRIMARY status is lost and the MCDU and the ND display the "GPS
PRIMARY LOST" message. It is possible to clear the scratchpad message on the MCDU , but not on
the ND.
CAUTION "HIGH" or "LOW" on the PROG page indicates the FM position accuracy, based
on estimated uncertainty. When GPS PRIMARY mode is lost, the flight crew must
periodically check this position accuracy. In GPS PRIMARY mode, the position
accuracy is always at HIGH.

Radio navaids are tuned for two different purposes: Display and computation.
It is possible to perform tuning for display in three different ways:
‐ Automatic tuning via FMGC software
‐ Manual tuning via the MCDU RAD NAV page
‐ Manual tuning via the Radio Management Panel (RMP ) if both FMGC s or both MCDUs fail.
The FMGS automatically tunes the radio navaids for computation of the radio position.
Note: The manual selection of a VOR or VOR /DME may prevent the FMGS from automatically
tuning a VOR /DME to compute position. In this case, the related MCDU displays “TUNE
BBB FFF.FF” (BBB = ident, FFF.FF = frequency).

ALIGNMENT OF INERTIAL REFERENCE SYSTEM
Ident.: DSC-22_20-20-40-00010143.0013001 / 01 OCT 12
Applicable to: ALL
The FMGS uses the reference point coordinates of the departure airport to align the IRS.
It calls these up from the database automatically after the flight crew has entered a company route
or an origin-destination city pair and pressed the ALIGN IRS key on the MCDU. The flight crew can
adjust these coordinates manually to the gate position. A normal alignment takes 10 min, a fast
alignment 30 s.
Fast alignment is used to refine a position when time is limited.
Note: If the “IRS IN ALIGN” memo flashes on the E/WD during the alignment process, it indicates
one of the following:
‐ It has detected excessive motion. (It automatically restarts the alignment)
‐ It has detected a disagreement between the position the MCDU has sent to the IRS ,
and the last memorized IRS position. The flight crew must enter new coordinates in the
MCDU , and realign the IRS
‐ It has detected a disagreement between the latitude the MCDU has sent to the IRS , and
the latitude the IRS has computed during the alignment
‐ The IRS has not received a position from the MCDU .

Overall navigation performance is mainly based on two elements:
‐ The accuracy of the aircraft position calculation
‐ The validity of the flight path definition, as extracted from the navigation database.
The level of validation depends on the type of operations. For example, JAA TGL 10 requires that, for
Precision RNAV in terminal area, providers and operators implement a quality assurance program for
the navigation database, which may include a navigation database validation process. The highest
level of validation is required for RNAV approach, with lateral and vertical navigation.
The navigation databases are revised every 28 days (AIRAC cycle). Flights should be conducted
with a navigation database that is within its cycle. This should be checked on the AIRCRAFT
STATUS MCDU page.
OPERATIONS WITH AN OUTDATED NAVIGATION DATABASE
Ident.: DSC-22_20-20-50-00010411.0001001 / 13 DEC 12
Applicable to: ALL
Airbus recommends flying with an updated navigation database. However, in exceptional
circumstances, and for a limited period of time, an aircraft can continue to operate beyond the end
date of the database cycle, provided it is approved by the national authorities.
The following precautions need to be considered:
‐ Prior to flight, identify recent changes on the intended route, with the navigation charts and
manuals. Some “strategic” new waypoints, not in the navigation database, may be worth entering
as DEFINED WAYPOINT on MCDU.
Note: Flying with an outdated database, in an airspace that was recently restructured with
numerous new waypoints, should be avoided.
‐ Check SID , STAR, and approach procedures of departure, destination and required alternates for
recent changes.
Do not attempt to modify or manually construct terminal instrument procedures or approaches.
‐ Fly terminal instrument procedures and approaches with managed guidance, that are in the
navigation database and that have been checked for accuracy. Otherwise, fly the procedure, or
the approach, in selected guidance with conventional radio navaid raw data.

Applicable to: ALL
The flight crew uses the MCDU to insert flight plans into the FMGS:
‐ A lateral flight plan that defines the intended horizontal flight path
‐ A vertical flight plan that defines the intended speed and altitude profile for the aircraft to follow
while flying the lateral flight plan.
Note: The flight planning function is available for both the primary and secondary flight plans.
The FMGS can contain two different flight plans:
‐ The ACTIVE flight plan, which is the basis for:
• Lateral and vertical guidance
• MCDU and ND display
• Radio navigation autotuning
• Performance predictions
• Fuel planning.
‐ The SECONDARY flight plan which the flight crew may use:
• When an alternate takeoff runway is probable
• To plan a diversion
• To prepare the next flight
• To compare predictions or evaluations.
Each flight plan is composed of the same elements:
‐ The primary flight plan, from origin to destination and missed approach
‐ The alternate flight plan, from destination to alternate destination.
The flight crew enters the flight plan in either of two ways:
‐ Automatically by selecting a company route. Such a selection will call all the elements of the route
out of the database.
‐ Manually by selecting an ORIGIN/DEST pair, and then selecting all successive waypoints,
procedures, and vertical constraints on the MCDU.
The flight crew may then modify the flight plan on the ground or in flight, by making lateral and
vertical revisions.

To insert the lateral flight plan, the flight crew can use either a company route number or an ICAO
four-letter city pair.
The lateral flight plan includes the following elements:
‐ Departure
• Takeoff runway
• SID
• En route transition.
‐ En route
• En route waypoints and airways.
‐ Arrival
• En route transition
• STARs/VIAs
• Landing runway with selected approach
• Missed approach.
‐ Alternate flight plan.
These elements are defined by waypoints and legs between the waypoints.

The FMGC automatically strings the legs in sequence.
The flight plan has a discontinuity if any two waypoints do not have a leg defined between them.
The computer assumes that the aircraft will fly a direct leg between the two waypoints that define the
discontinuity.

FCOM ← A → 12 APR 17
Note: 1. When the aircraft overflies a flight plan discontinuity, the NAV mode automatically reverts
to the HDG (TRK) mode.
2. In HDG /TRK mode, a waypoint is sequenced when it passes behind the aircraft, and the
aircraft is less than 7 NM from it, and also when the difference between the track of the
aircraft and the track of the leg is less than 90 °.
If the aircraft is flying a discontinuity towards a waypoint, this waypoint is sequenced
when the aircraft is less than 5 NM from it.
The same conditions apply in NAV mode, except that no distance to the waypoint is
taken into account.
The FMGS automatically strings additional types of legs, when departure or arrival procedures (SID -
STAR - TRANS) are defined.
Those strings correspond to specific patterns that are heading or track referenced and are defined in
the database, such as:
‐ DME arc leg
‐ Holding pattern to a fix, or reverse turn
‐ Course-to-fix leg
‐ Radius-to-fix leg
‐ Heading leg
‐ MANUAL leg.
The flight crew cannot create these types of legs: They are part of the stored departure/arrival
procedures they have selected.
The flight crew can only create direct legs between manually defined geographic points (navaids,
airports, waypoints).

Note: The departure and arrival procedures are defined in the database to minimize the amount
of memory required.
They are divided, as follows:
‐ DEPARTURE = SID + EN ROUTE TRANSITION
‐ ARRIVAL = APPR VIA + STAR + EN ROUTE TRANSITION
The SID is the central common part of the departure procedure, as the STAR is of the
arrival procedure. Enroute transitions (TRANS ) are the various possible trajectories defined
between the last SID point and the first enroute waypoints, and between the last enroute
waypoint and the first fix of the STAR . ”APPR VIAs” are the possible trajectories, defined
between the last STAR point and the first point of the approach.
MANUAL LEGS
Ident.: DSC-22_20-30-10-05-00010629.0001001 / 17 AUG 10
Applicable to: ALL
A MANUAL leg stays on a constant TRK or HDG and has no termination point. The flight crew
cannot insert it into a flight plan manually: it is part of a given procedure such as a SID or a STAR.
When the aircraft is flying a MANUAL leg, the NAV mode remains engaged and predictions assume
that the aircraft will fly a direct leg from its present position to the next waypoint (DIR TO ). When the
aircraft is cleared to fly to the next waypoint of the flight plan, the flight crew performs a DIR TO.
Note: 1. In NAV mode, a MANUAL leg is sequenced only by performing a DIR TO.
2. The use of the descent mode (DES) on a MANUAL leg is not recommended.

There are three ways of defining the route:
1. A company route, that is in the database, and is known by the flight crew.
The flight crew enters the name of the CO RTE into the [1L] field of the INIT A page. This action
enters all the elements of the flight plan. The database usually includes an alternate route
associated with the destination.
2. A company route, that is in the database, but the flight crew does not know it is there.
The flight crew enters a city pair in the [1R] field. The ROUTE SELECTION page automatically
appears and enables the flight crew to review all stored routes between the two cities before
selecting one of them.

LATERAL REVISIONS
Ident.: DSC-22_20-30-10-05-00010632.0002001 / 07 APR 17
Applicable to: ALL
The flight crew can revise the lateral flight plan following two types of revisions:
1. Lateral revisions that have an immediate effect on the active flight plan:
‐ The flight crew inserts a new waypoint directly on the F-PLN page, deletes, or changes a
waypoint from it:
When the flight crew enters a new waypoint, which does not exist in the flight plan, the following
waypoint moves down the flight plan, with a discontinuity shown after the new waypoint.
‐ The flight crew adds a direct leg (DIR TO) from his present position to a selected waypoint:
The flight crew can change the “TO” waypoint of the active leg. The DIR TO function gives
access to DIR TO , DIR TO ABEAM, or DIR TO/INTERCEPT. The active leg then goes from the
present position (T/P) to the waypoint selected or inserted as the new “TO” waypoint.

2. Lateral revisions that lead to a temporary flight plan (TMPY) before they take effect:
The flight crew creates a temporary flight plan, then inserts it as a revision to the active flight plan.
The flight crew does this when selecting, deleting, or modifying several waypoints of an airway or
procedure at once (SID , STAR , HOLD, TAKEOFF or LANDING RWY ). This modification is made

The lateral revision function allows the pilot to create or modify the following parts of the flight plan:
‐ Airway
‐ Waypoint
‐ New destination
‐ Holding pattern
‐ Offset
‐ Alternate
‐ Fix information
Each time the pilot activates one of the above-listed revisions, he accesses a temporary flight plan
that enables the modification to be checked before inserting it in the active flight plan. The crew
selects these functions by pressing the left keys on F-PLN A or B.
‐ Direct to and overfly functions are accessed via the MCDU keys. No temporary flight plan is
created with these functions.
‐ “Update at” capability is a specific function that manually updates the FM position. It does not .use
a temporary flight plan, but the pilot must confirm its insertion before it is activated.

GENERAL
Waypoints can be inserted in two ways:
‐ Directly into the flight plan. All modifications go directly into the active flight plan. No temporary
flight plan is created.
‐ By means of a lateral revision at the “NEXT WAYPOINT”, a process that creates a temporary
flight plan.
The second method enables the temporary flight plan to be checked before it is inserted.
Ident.: DSC-22_20-30-10-15-F-00012833.0001001 / 09 FEB 11
WAYPOINT IDENTIFICATION
The pilot can identify a waypoint by:
‐ Its identifier (if it is in the navigation database).
‐ A Latitude/Longitude (LL).
‐ A Place/Bearing/Distance (PBD). The waypoint is defined by its bearing and distance from a
place.
‐ A Place-Bearing/Place-Bearing (PBX). The waypoint is defined by the interception of 2 radials
from 2 places.
‐ A Place/Distance (PD). The waypoint is defined by a distance from a place, along the F-PLN.
Note: If a slash or a dash is not entered properly, the MCDU displays a “FORMAT ERROR”
message.
When the Flight Management Guidance System receives a waypoint that is not in the database,
it identifies it as LLxx or PBD xx or PBX xx or PD xx (xx is a two-digit number between 01 and 20)

Applicable to: ALL
Ident.: DSC-22_20-30-10-15-G-00012838.0008001 / 09 FEB 11
GENERAL
When using the FIX INFO function, the flight crew defines waypoint intersections of the flight plan
with radials, circle or abeam associated to a fix.
When the flight crew inserts the intersection points, the system automatically identifies these
points, but does not store them in the navigation database.

HOLDING PATTERN
Applicable to: ALL
Ident.: DSC-22_20-30-10-15-A-00007222.0001001 / 09 FEB 11
GENERAL
This section describes holding patterns, associated guidance and flight crew procedures.
The Flight Management and Guidance Computer (FMGC) has three types of holding patterns that
the pilot can use in a flight plan.
Ident.: DSC-22_20-30-10-15-A-00007163.0001001 / 01 OCT 12
HOLD TO FIX (HF)
The holding pattern is always part of an arrival or departure procedure. The aircraft flies it once
and then automatically exits the holding pattern at the fix. The predicted speed in the holding
pattern is the lowest of the ICAO speed limit, max endurance speed, or any speed constraint.
Guidance to the fix in the holding pattern is similar to that on any leg of a flight plan. The HF
patterns are part of the navigation database and cannot be created by the crew.
Ident.: DSC-22_20-30-10-15-A-00007182.0001001 / 01 OCT 12
HOLD TO ALTITUDE (HA)
The aircraft flies the hold until it reaches the specified altitude. Then, it automatically exits the hold
at the fix.
The predicted speed for the holding pattern is the lowest of the ICAO speed limits, the max
endurance speed, or any speed constraint.

FCOM ← G → 24 JAN 17
The size of the holding pattern is a function of the predicted speed.
Guidance in a hold to altitude (HA) is similar to that for any leg of a flight plan.
The HAs are in the navigation database, as part of the arrival or departure procedures, and cannot
be created by the crew.
Ident.: DSC-22_20-30-10-15-A-00007206.0013001 / 01 OCT 12
HOLD WITH MANUAL TERMINATION (HM)
This type of holding pattern may be part of an arrival procedure, or the pilot may enter it at the
present position or at any flight plan waypoint.
The pilot will use this type of holding pattern to comply with a defined procedure or a clearance
limit, or to meet an operational need (such as losing altitude, holding for weather improvement, or
absorbing an ATC delay).
This type of holding pattern is exited according to the pilot's decision, not automatically.
There are 3 types of HM.
All are modifiable.

DATABASE HOLD
If the holding pattern is part of the database, it is named DATABASE HOLD and all its
associated data (inbound course, turn direction, time/distance) are defined in the database. The
flight crew can modify this data.
COMPUTED HOLD AT...
If the holding pattern is not in the database, the FMGC designs a holding pattern and proposes
it to the pilot. The associated data consists of default values that the pilot can modify.

PREDICTIONS AND GUIDANCE ASSOCIATED WITH A HM HOLDING PATTERN (HOLD WITH
MANUAL TERMINATION)
Before deceleration
If an altitude constraint is defined at the hold entry fix, then the FMS duplicates this constraint
on the hold exit.
However, different constraints may be inserted at entry and exit fixes.
Although the hold is inserted into the flight plan, the FMGS does not take it into account for
predictions until the aircraft enters the hold.
However, if the hold is not deleted by the crew, the FMGS schedules a deceleration point and
displays it on the ND.

The FMGS predicts the estimated time and amount of fuel remaining at which the aircraft
must exit holding, so as to comply with the fuel policy specified on the fuel prediction page.
When the aircraft enters the holding pattern, the FMGS revises all predictions and assumes
the aircraft will fly one turn of the holding pattern.
All predictions are revised for one more holding circuit at holding fix overfly.

FCOM ← G → 24 JAN 17
Upon reaching the speed change pseudo waypoint
The FMGS either causes the aircraft to decelerate to the hold speed (if managed speed
is active and NAV mode engaged), or displays “SET HOLD SPD” (set hold speed) on the
MCDU and primary flight display, if the flight crew had selected a speed target.
The default hold speed is the lowest of the:
‐ Maximum endurance speed
‐ ICAO limit holding speed
‐ Speed constraint (if any).
When no specific speed limit applies, the default hold speed is approximately equal to:
‐ Green Dot speed on the A318, A319, A320 (CFM) and A321
‐ Green Dot + 20 kt for altitude lower than 20 000 ft, on the A320 (IAE).
‐ Green Dot + 5 kt for altitude bigger than 20 000 ft, on the A320 (IAE).
The flight plan predictions for time and fuel do not yet consider that the hold will be flown,
however, the navigation display shows the hold entry and holding pattern trajectory.
Deceleration receives priority, so that when the aircraft is in descent with the descent mode
engaged, it will deviate above the descent path to decelerate. (VDEV becomes positive on
the progress page).
The flight plan page displays an immediate exit prompt.
If the flight crew presses the key next to “IMM EXIT” before arriving at the holding fix, the
aircraft will not enter the holding pattern, but will resume its phase-related managed-speed
profile.

After reaching the hold entry fix
The aircraft enters the hold. The MCDU HOLD page displays the associated holding data:
‐ The inbound course (INB CRS)
‐ The TURN direction (L or R)
‐ The TIME/DIST
‐ The LAST EXIT time and the associated fuel to reach the alternate airport with no extra
fuel.
The FMS assumes that the aircraft will fly one turn of the holding pattern, and revises the
predictions accordingly.
When the holding pattern is defined by a leg time (and not a leg distance), the system revises
the size of the hold as a function of the target speed.
‐ If managed speed is active, the system uses the predicted holding speed to calculate the
size of the holding pattern.
‐ If the selected speed is active, the system uses the target speed selected by the flight crew
at the entry fix sequencing to calculate the size of the holding pattern.
‐ The VDEV displayed on the primary flight display and the PROG page when the aircraft
is flying in the HM (hold pattern with manual termination) is the difference between the
aircraft's current altitude and the altitude at which it should be when it reaches the hold exit
fix in order to be correctly positioned on the descent path.

HOLD EXIT PROCEDURE
Position (1) If “IMM EXIT” pressed, the aircraft will exit at the next fix overfly.
Position (2) If “IMM EXIT” pressed, the aircraft will make an immediate turn to the fix where the
hold will be exited.
If managed speed is active:
The computer sets the target speed to the applicable speed of the current phase (for
example, speed constraint, ECON speed, or speed limit).
The computer then bases its predictions on the assumption that the flight will continue on
the descent path, if the aircraft is in descent.

If DES mode is engaged:
The following applies:
‐ The holding pattern is never included in the descent path computation.
‐ The flight crew cannot enter altitude and speed constraints at the hold exit fix. (This is
only allowed at the hold entry fix).
‐ The vertical guidance in the HM , during the descent phase, calls for a constant
-1 000 ft/min. But the computer considers altitude constraints that will take effect farther
down the flight path as it calculates vertical guidance and predictions. The system will not
allow the aircraft to descend below the next altitude constraint, neither the FCU selected
altitude. If the aircraft reaches the next altitude constraint, it will level off and the altitude
constraint mode will engage.
With RESUME HOLD pressed
If the flight crew presses the key next to “RESUME HOLD”, the aircraft remains in the holding
pattern, and “IMM EXIT” is displayed again.
After that, each time the aircraft flies over the holding fix, the system updates the predictions
for one more holding circuit.
HOLDING PATTERN ENTRIES
The FMGS offers three types of entry into holding patterns:

3. The parallel entry
Note: If the leg the aircraft is flying toward the holding fix is on a “limit” between a teardrop
entry and a parallel entry, the FMGC may compute and display either of the two
entries. The pilot should keep this in mind and should not assume that the FMGC is
malfunctioning.
If the flight plan leg toward the hold entry fix is on a course that is the reciprocal of
the inbound course of the holding pattern, the aircraft will fly a parallel entry.

OFFSET
Applicable to: ALL
Ident.: DSC-22_20-30-10-15-B-00007230.0009001 / 14 MAY 12
GENERAL
Offset allows the flight crew to define on offset of the active flight plan. The offset can be
immediate or deferred to start on a downstream leg. The offset will end by default or at a
pre-planned end waypoint. Additionally, the flight crew can specify the intercept angle used for the
transitions to and from the offset path.
In most cases, the pilot will use it enroute because of an ATC clearance, or to avoid bad weather
expected along the flight plan route.
This page is accessed from LAT REV page at the FROM waypoint or at any waypoint downpath
the flight plan, except the destination airport.
After inserting the offset in the flight plan, the flight plan page shows OFST in its title, left or right
arrows are displayed on every label line between the start and end waypoints of the offset, and the
navigation display shows the offset flight plan with a solid green line and the original flight plan with
a dashed green line.
The offset is cleared:
‐ Automatically (holding pattern, approach), or
‐ Manually with the clear (CLR) key, or by entering “o” in the offset value field [ 1L ] or by using
the delete prompt in the OFFSET page.
Note: If the pilot enters an OFFSET when the aircraft is too close to the TO waypoint, the
FMGS may refuse to accept it, in which case the MCDU displays the “ENTRY OUT OF
RANGE” message.

ALTERNATE FUNCTION
Applicable to: ALL
Ident.: DSC-22_20-30-10-15-C-00007240.0001001 / 09 FEB 11
GENERAL
The ALTERNATE FUNCTION performs two actions:
‐ It reviews and defines alternate airports and inserts them into the flight plan.
‐ It allows a diversion to be activated through the ENABLE ALTN command.
Ident.: DSC-22_20-30-10-15-C-00007217.0009001 / 23 JUN 15
REVIEW AND SELECTION OF ALTERNATE AIRPORT
Several alternate airfields may be stored in the database and assigned to a destination. When
the pilot selects a company route (CO RTE) (or a city pair), the computer strings the preferred
alternate into the active flight plan.
The pilot may review the alternate airports on the ALTN page and, if the one selected is not
suitable because of weather or fuel considerations, another alternate may be strung into the active
flight plan.

PREDICTED DATA FOR ALTERNATE
Data predictions are based on:
‐ Aircraft weight being equal to landing weight at primary destination.
‐ Flight at FL 100 if the alternate F-PLN length is less than 100 NM , at FL 220 if the alternate
F-PLN length is comprised between 100 and 200 NM , or else at FL 310.
‐ Cost index 0.
‐ Constant wind (as entered in the alternate field of the DES WIND page).
‐ Constant delta ISA (equal to delta ISA at primary destination).
‐ The along flight path distance from the destination to the alternate airport. If the flight crew
enters an ALTN fuel value, this value is the one taken into account.

DIR KEY (DIRECT-TO-FUNCTION)
Applicable to: ALL
Ident.: DSC-22_20-30-10-15-D-00007243.0001001 / 09 FEB 11
GENERAL
The pilot uses the “Direct To” function to define a direct leg from the present position to any
waypoint on the active flight plan or to any waypoint.
The designated waypoint may be entered by its identifier (if it is stored in the database) or by a
latitude/longitude, place/bearing/distance, or a place-bearing/place-bearing.
Note: If the autopilot or flight director is in the heading/track or localizer mode, the “DIR TO ”
function engages the NAV mode.
Three functions are available through the DIR TO key:
‐ The DIR TO defines a direct leg from the present position to a specified waypoint.
NAV mode engages simultaneously to the DIR TO selection.
When the pilot uses DIR TO , the present position (PPOS ) becomes the “FROM” waypoint and
the active flight plan shows it as the T-P (turn point).
‐ The DIR TO /ABEAM function, defines the abeam waypoints along the direct leg. These
waypoints are the projection on the direct leg of the initial F-PLN waypoints located between the
aircraft position and the specified waypoint.
NAV mode engages simultaneously to the DIR TO/ABEAM selection.
‐ The DIR TO /INTCPT function allows the definition of a specified RADIAL INBOUND or
OUTBOUND at an inserted waypoint. The current aircraft track is used to compute the INTCPT
point with the specified radial.
NAV mode is armed simultaneously to the DIR TO /INTCPT selection.

PARTICULAR CASES FOR USE OF DIR TO
‐ If the pilot is flying a manual leg (part of a SID or STAR ), the flight plan page displays “F-PLN
DISCONTINUITY”, preceded by “MANUAL” (see below).
These legs are specific heading or track legs flown with no defined end waypoint.
‐ When the pilot encounters a flight plan discontinuity, or if a major reset occurs, the flight plan
page displays “PPOS - F-PLAN DISCONTINUITY”, and the pilot looses managed guidance in
both the lateral and vertical plans.
The autopilot or flight director reverts to the basic HDG V/S (or TRK FPA) modes. Predictions
remain available and are based on the assumption that the aircraft will fly a direct leg from its
present position to the next waypoint.
‐In both of these cases, the only way to get back to a standard flight plan is to perform a “
DIR TO ” to a designated waypoint.
‐ Following a DIR TO , the message “MAP PARTLY DISPLAYED” may appear on the NDs, if the
new flight plan includes a very long leg (Refer to DSC-31-45 Flags and Messages Displayed on
ND). When this message comes up, enter an intermediate waypoint to shorten the leg.
Note: During cruise, the DIR TO function is not available as long as uplink wind data, received
through ACARS , is not inserted or cancelled on the CRUISE WIND page.

"UPDATE AT"
Ident.: DSC-22_20-30-10-15-00000470.0001001 / 01 OCT 12
Applicable to: ALL
To manually change the position computed by the FMGC (FM position and bias), the pilot uses
“UPDATE AT” on the progress page.
Use this facility with extreme caution: It is apt to be inaccurate, because it relies on the pilot's
estimation of when a designated position has been reached.
WRITE the ident for the NAVAID (or waypoint or airport), or the coordinates, or the PBD or PBX
(Place/Bearing-Place/Bearing) at which the update is intended.
PRESS [3L] to enter the ident in the “UPDATE AT” field. The coordinates of the point, along with its
identifier (or “ENTRY”, if the identifier is not in the database), appear in that field.
PRESS [3R] to activate the update, when you estimate that you are at the position.
Note: The system reinitializes the Estimated Position Error computation when a position update
is performed. This may lead to the appearance of a “NAV ACCUR DOWNGRAD” or “NAV
ACCUR UPGRAD” message.

If the “UPDATE AT” does not properly take effect, it corrupts the FM position.
‐ In an area with good radio NAVAID coverage:
• If the update error is small, subsequent radio position updating will correct the FM position.
• If the update error is large, the system will reject any radio updating because its internal
“reasonableness test” will reject the various NAVAID s. Thus, the FM position will only be the
MIX IRS position corrected by the position bias, determined at the time of the update, and the
error will be maintained.
‐ In an area without proper NAVAID coverage, radio position updating will not be available and the
FM position, if incorrect, will remain incorrect until a new manual update is performed.
‐ Therefore, the pilot should only use “UPDATE AT” in case of a major position problem, such as:
• On the ground, no flight plan appears on the navigation display and ARC/ROSE NAV mode is
selected.
• A “CHECK IRS /FM POSITION” message appears on the MCDU.
• A “FM /IR POSITION DISAGREE” message appears on the ECAM.
When GPS PRIMARY is operative, the FM position will always converge towards the GPS position at
a rate depending on the aircraft altitude. Therefore, when GPS PRIMARY is operative, an inaccurate
“update at” will have a temporary effect on the FM position.

The vertical flight plan is divided into the following flight phases:
Preflight - Takeoff - Climb - Cruise - Descent - Approach - Go-Around - Done.
All but “Preflight” and “Done” phases are associated with speed and altitude profiles.
Each phase has an assigned profile of target speeds. For each phase the FMGS computes an
optimum (ECON ) speed as a function of the strategic parameters (CI , CRZ FL , ZFW , ZFWCG,
block FUEL) and performance criteria.
ECON speed is the basis of the managed speed profile.
The ECON speed can be modified by:
‐ Presetting a speed or Mach number on the MCDU (PERF page) for the next phase
‐ Selecting on the FCU a speed or a Mach number for the active phase
‐ Inserting speed constraints or speed limits on the MCDU vertical revision (VERT REV) page.
The vertical flight plan includes vertical constraints (altitude, speed, time) that may be stored in the
data base or entered manually by the flight crew through vertical revision pages.
The flight crew may also define step climbs or step descents for cruise purposes. If the flight crew
plans to climb to a higher flight level or descend to a lower level, they can use a vertical revision at
any waypoint to insert the new level.
When all the vertical data has been defined, the FMGC computes the vertical profile and the
managed speed/Mach profile from takeoff to landing.

• Cost Index (CI)
• Cruise Flight Level (CRZ FL) and STEP ALTS if any
• Zero-Fuel Weight (ZFW)
• Zero-Fuel Weight Center of Gravity (ZFWCG)
• Block Fuel.
‐ Weather data:
• Winds (for climb, cruise, descent, approach)
• Sea level atmospheric pressure (QNH) at destination
• Surface temperature (TEMP) at destination
• Temperature in cruise phase
• The Tropopause altitude (TROPO).
‐ Tactical data for the flight phases:
• Phase switching conditions:
▪ Setting of the thrust levers to TOGA or FLEX positions
▪ Reaching acceleration altitude (ACCEL ALT)
▪ Entering cruise (T/C)
▪ Initiation of descent (T/D)
▪ Passing a deceleration pseudo waypoint (DECEL PSEUDO WPT)
▪ Touchdown.
• Speed profile:
▪ V2
▪ Economy climb speed or Mach (ECON CLB SPD/MACH)
▪ Preselected speed or Mach (SPD/MACH PRESELECTION)
▪ Economy cruise Mach (ECON CRZ MACH)
▪ Constant Mach
▪ Economy descent Mach or speed (ECON DES MACH/SPD)
▪ Approach speed (VAPP).
• Vertical limitations:
▪ Speed limits (SPD LIMIT)
▪ Speed and altitude constraints (SPD AND ALT CSTR)
▪ Time constraints or Required Time of Arrival (RTA).
In addition to the data entered by the flight crew, the FMS uses some real flight data parameters
(CRZ SAT, actual wind) to improve the accuracy of the computed predictions.

VERTICAL REVISION
Ident.: DSC-22_20-30-20-05-00011025.0002001 / 17 AUG 10
Applicable to: ALL
The flight crew uses vertical revisions to enter or modify:
‐ The speed limit in the climb and descent phases
‐ An altitude or speed constraint at the revised waypoint
‐ A step climb or a step descent
‐ New wind data
‐ A time constraint.
The vertical revision page is accessed by pressing a right hand select key of the flight plan page.

SPEED LIMIT
A speed limit is associated with altitude as a maximum speed below a specified altitude (only one
in climb and one in descent).
ALTITUDE CONSTRAINT
Altitude constraints may be attached to specific waypoints in the climb, descent, or approach
phases.
To meet the altitude constraint, the aircraft must fly over the waypoint at an altitude equal, above
or below the altitude constraint as specified by the flight crew or the database.
Note: The database may contain an altitude constraint window (two altitudes between which
the aircraft must fly passing over a given waypoint), but the flight crew cannot enter such
a constraint manually.
An altitude constraint is considered as missed if the system predicts more than 250 ft of difference
between the constraint value and the predicted aircraft altitude.
Altitude constraints are observed in CLB or DES or APP NAV-FINAL modes.

The FMS automatically deletes from the F-PLN:
‐ The altitude constraints ("AT", "AT OR ABOVE", or "AT OR BELOW") with values greater than
the CRZ FL
‐ The altitude constraint windows with the upper constraint greater than the CRZ FL.
The MCDU and the ND no longer display the deleted altitude constraints. These altitude
constraints are no longer used for the computation of the FMS climb and descent profile.
In that case, the scratchpad of the MCDU displays the "CSTR DEL ABOVE CRZ FL" message.
The FMS does not delete the altitude constraints at the CRZ FL . The FMS computes the T/D ,
in order to respect these altitude constraints. However these altitude constraints are not used for
guidance. If the flight crew initiates the descent before reaching the T/D , the aircraft descents
below the altitude constraints, and the altitude constraints are missed (amber on the MCDU and
on the ND).
SPEED CONSTRAINT
Speed constraints may be attached to specific waypoints in the climb, descent or approach
phases. To meet the speed constraint, the aircraft must fly over the waypoint with a speed equal or
less than the speed constraint.
A speed constraint is considered as missed if the system predicts an aircraft speed 10 kt greater
than the speed constraint.
Speed constraints are observed when NAV mode is engaged and speed target is managed.
Otherwise speed constraints are disregarded.
TIME CONSTRAINT
Time constraint may be attached to any waypoint except the "from" waypoint.
Note: No constraint can be associated with go-around waypoints.

Applicable to: ALL
Ident.: DSC-22_20-30-20-25-A-00009324.0001001 / 24 JAN 11
GENERAL
A Required Time of Arrival (RTA) is a time requirement to be met over a specified waypoint of the
lateral flight plan, including destination but excluding the origin and FROM waypoints. When the
predictions are available, the time constraint value is replaced by the predicted time at the related
waypoint, highlighted by a star (*):
‐ If the RTA is predicted as matched, the star (*) is in magenta.
‐ If the RTA is predicted as missed, the star (*) is in amber.
No specific symbol is provided on the ND.
A time constraint is cleared in the same way as any other constraints. If a time constraint is
automatically deleted. The MCDU displays an “RTA DELETED” message.

Applicable to: ALL
Ident.: DSC-22_20-30-20-25-B-00000490.0001001 / 24 JAN 11
GENERAL
In order to receive the best predictions, the pilot must enter wind and temperature values for the
different phases and for the various waypoints of the cruise phase.
The system uses the temperature value at a given altitude, associated with the tropopause
entered on the INIT A page, to optimize the temperature profile.
Ident.: DSC-22_20-30-20-25-B-00009327.0001001 / 24 JAN 11
ENTERING THE TRIP WIND AND TEMPERATURE DURING F-PLN INITIALIZATION
The trip wind is a mean wind component for the entire flight from origin to destination. The pilot
can enter it on the INIT B page prior to engine start. It is usually defined by the airline's flight
operations on the computerized flight plan.
The FMGS does not consider the trip wind for alternate predictions.
The trip wind is used as long as no winds are entered in the CLB , CRZ , and DES WIND pages.
When the pilot enters a CLB , CRZ or DES WIND, the FMGS disregards the trip wind.
PRESS the INIT key.
INSERT the temperature at cruise FL.
On the INIT B page, INSERT the TRIP WIND.
The trip wind is defined as a headwind component (HDXX, XXHD or –XX), or as a tailwind (TLXX,
XXTL or +XX).
The FMGS uses the trip wind to compute preliminary performance, time and fuel predictions.
CHECK the predictions on the F-PLN B page.
Ident.: DSC-22_20-30-20-25-B-00009328.0008001 / 01 OCT 12
ENTERING THE WIND AND TEMPERATURE DURING F-PLN INITIALIZATION
When completing the INIT A page, and once the wind and cruise FL temperature forecasts are
available, the pilot may enter them, if significantly different, by pressing the wind prompt.
The pilot will access the different wind pages by using the NEXT PHASE and PREV PHASE
prompts. He will slew the CRZ WIND page to access the various cruise wind waypoints.

The pilot will enter wind data as follows:
‐ For climb phase: By inserting either the HISTORY WIND data (as recorded during the last
descent), or by inserting winds (at up to 5 altitudes) on the CLIMB WIND page.
‐ For cruise phase: By inserting winds (at up to 4 FL ) at various CRZ waypoints on the CRZ
WIND pages. The 4 levels are the same for all the cruise waypoints. The pilot may enter the
temperature of each waypoint and at destination on this page.
‐ For descent phase: By inserting winds (at up to 5 FL /altitudes) on the DES WIND page.
‐ For the ALTN F-PLN , an average wind may be entered on the DES WIND page for alternate
cruise flight level.
Note: Wind can be automatically received (and inserted) through the ACARS system (Refer to
DSC-22_20-70 Wind Data - Request for Wind Data).
Once a CLIMB, CRZ, or DESCENT WIND is entered, the system ignores the TRIP WIND.
Once temperature and winds are inserted, the FMGS computes the ISA profile, and the F-PLN B
page displays the forescast wind profile (by linear interpolation and propagation).

If convenient, PRESS the (6R) prompt to insert. After insertion, the [6R] prompt is suppressed,
but the page still displays the wind values for information.
ENTERING THE CLIMB WIND (F-PLN INITIALIZATION)
If history winds are not convenient:
SELECT CLIMB WIND page from INIT A page or VERT REV page.
WRITE new winds into the scratchpad and ENTER.
Winds entered on the CLIMB, CRZ, and DESCENT WIND pages are always true north
referenced.
Tower wind, entered on PERF APPR page is magnetic-referenced.
The pilot can enter “GRND” in the altitude field for wind at destination.
CLIMB WIND cannot be modified when the climb phase is active.
At climb phase transition, wind data switches from blue to green, and any attempted
modification will trigger the “NOT ALLOWED” message.
The system extrapolates the highest wind entry to all higher levels.
The system interpolates winds between 2 entered levels.

The crew will modify the entered winds and temperatures in flight, if a significant difference is
expected (greater than 30 kt or 30 ° for the wind data and greater than 5 °C for the temperature).
The system propagates the pilot’s (or ACARS) wind and temperature entries downpath, until a
waypoint for which a different temperature or wind has been entered (for the same flight level), or
until the last cruise waypoint.
The forecast winds at a waypoint are determined as follows:
‐ If the predicted altitude at the waypoint matches an altitude defined in the CRZ WIND page, the
forecast wind, is the corresponding entered or propagated wind, displayed at that waypoint on
the CRZ WIND page.
‐ If the predicted altitude lies between two altitudes entered on the CRZ WIND page, the wind
direction and velocity are linearly interpolated.
‐ If the predicted altitude is above or below the set of cruise altitudes, the forecast wind is a
constant value extrapolated from the entered or propagated wind at the highest (or lowest)
altitude displayed on the CRZ WIND page for that point.
Once in flight, the FMGS considers the actual measured wind up to 200 NM ahead of the
aircraft to permanently update the wind profile. This updated wind profile is used to compute the
predictions and the performance data, but is not displayed to the crew.

EFFECT OF WIND ENTRIES ON OPTIMUM FLIGHT LEVEL
The OPT FL computation considers the wind entries made at different altitudes (normally at the
different CRZ FL).
When flying the subsequent CRZ FL , the OPT FL proposed by the PROG page may be affected
by the wind entries made at the previous CRZ FL; these winds are automatically propagated and
may be significantly different from the actual winds.
We recommend the following procedure: If the propagated winds at the lower altitudes are
significantly different from the actual winds, enter the wind at these altitudes, or if not available, the
wind measured at the current CRZ FL.

The performance function:
‐ Optimizes a flight plan
‐ Computes predictions.
OPTIMIZATION
Ident.: DSC-22_20-40-10-00011084.0029001 / 23 JUN 15
Applicable to: ALL
The FMGC minimizes cost by optimizing the following items:
‐ Takeoff, approach, and go-around speeds (F , S , Green Dot, VAPP)
‐ Target speed for CLB , CRZ and DES phases (ECON SPD/MACH)
‐ Flight Level (for flight crew's information)
‐ Descent profile from CRZ FL down to the destination airport.
These items depend on the data the flight crew inserts during lateral and vertical flight planning and
revision procedures.
Most are displayed on the PERF pages associated with the appropriate flight phases.
WIND PROFILE
To obtain the best predictions, the flight crew must enter the wind for the various flight phases and
specifically for waypoints in cruise.
ON GROUND:
During flight planning initialization, enter the winds for the climb and cruise phases using the
HISTORY WIND and WIND pages. Enter, manually or with ACARS , different wind values in
the climb and cruise phases. The system will compute a wind for all waypoints of the F-PLN
using linear interpolation between manual/ACARS entries.
The wind profile will be displayed on the F-PLN B page, and is called forecast wind profile.
Flight crew or ACARS entries are displayed in large font, and system-computed winds in small
font.
IN FLIGHT:
The system updates the predictions and the current ECON speed, using the measured wind at
the present position. It combines actual wind and forecast winds to compute the wind ahead of
the aircraft, but this is totally transparent to the flight crew.
During cruise, the flight crew will enter the descent winds and the approach wind. The system
will update the final predictions, compute the optimum descent profile and compute the
optimum speed in descent and approach.

The forecast wind profile will be used to compute fuel and time predictions, as well as ECON
speed/Mach targets.
OPTIMUM TAKEOFF, APPROACH AND GO-AROUND SPEEDS
The FMGC computes takeoff speeds (F , S, Green Dot) during the preflight and takeoff phases,
using the performance model in the database and the takeoff weight.
The flight crew has to insert V1 , VR , and V2 in the PERF TO page manually.
The FMGC uses the performance model and either the predicted landing weight or the current
gross weight at transition to the approach phase to compute approach speeds (VLS , VAPP , F ,
S, Green Dot).
On the PERF APPR page, the selected LDG CONF determines the applicable VLS and VAPP ,
the latter being updated by the WIND correction that the flight crew enters on the same page. The
FMGC uses the performance model and gross weight to compute go-around speeds (F , S, Green
Dot).
OPTIMUM TARGET SPEED FOR CLIMB, CRUISE AND DESCENT (ECON SPD/MACH)
The FMGS computes the optimum target speed (ECON SPD/MACH) as a function of:
‐ Cost index (CI)
‐ Cruise flight level (CRZ FL)
‐ Gross weight (GW)
‐ Wind and temperature models
‐ Performance factor.
The computer processes the ECON SPDs for the climb and descent phases before the initiation of
the flight phase, and freezes the values once the flight phase becomes active.
When there is no time or speed constraint/limit, ECON SPEED is the optimum speed for the
selected cost index. It refers to fuel and time cost and not directly to fuel saving.
The FM calculates ECON CLB , ECON DES and the associated top of climb and top of descent as
a function of cost index, cruise FL, and meteo data.

The computer continually updates ECON CRUISE MACH (SPD), taking into account current
weather conditions and modifications to the flight plan.
Note: If the cruise FL is below FL 250, ECON CRUISE SPEED is computed.
If the cruise FL is above FL 250, ECON CRUISE MACH is computed.
PRESET TARGET SPEED FOR CLB PHASE
The flight crew can preselect the climb speed before the CLB phase begins, by inserting a
speed in the PRESEL field:

The active mode field changes from MANAGED to SELECTED, and the FM will use the entered
speed for climb predictions computation.
The flight crew can revert to managed mode by pressing the 3L key.
PRESET TARGET SPEED/MACH FOR DES PHASE
The flight crew can change the speed and/or Mach displayed in the MANAGED field by inserting
a speed and/or Mach in the MANAGED field.
Although the entered speed is chosen by the flight crew, the FMGS uses it to compute the
descent flight path and top of descent. It is therefore part of the managed descent profile.

The flight crew can revert to the optimum speed/Mach by clearing the 3L field.
OPTIMUM FLIGHT LEVEL
The optimum flight level (OPT FL) indicates the most economic flight level for a given cost index,
weight, weather data. It is continuously updated in flight. It requires a 5 min minimum cruise time,
at a minimum cruise flight level of FL 100.

The OPT FL is a compromise between fuel and time saving. As a result, the flight crew may
observe jumps in OPT FL due to GW , ISA , or wind changes. The computation of the OPT FL
considers the wind entries made at the different altitudes (normally at the different CRZ FL).
When flying the subsequent CRZ FL , the OPT FL proposed by the PROG page may be affected
by the wind entries made at the previous CRZ FL; these winds are automatically propagated and
may be significantly different from the actual winds.
Note: For simplification purposes, the FCOM /QRH gives the OPT FL at a given Mach number.
It does not consider the cost index, therefore the FMGS and the FCOM /QRH values are
different.
FM displays OPT FL on the PROG page. The PROG page displays dashes for this quantity when
the system detects an engine-out condition.
OPTIMUM DESCENT PATH
The vertical flight path is computed to minimize fuel consumption, while satisfying the various
altitude constraints of the F-PLN and the descent speed profile, in order to reach VAPP at 1 000 ft.

COST INDEX (CI)
Ident.: DSC-22_20-40-20-00011041.0001001 / 17 AUG 10
Applicable to: ALL
The cost index is a fundamental input for the ECON SPEED or ECON MACH computation. ECON
SPEED and ECON MACH reduce the total flight cost in terms of flight time and fuel consumption
(and not only in terms of fuel saving).
CI is the ratio of flight time cost (CT ) to fuel cost (CF).
CI = CT /CF (kg/min or 100 lb/h).
CI = 0 corresponds to minimum fuel consumption (Max Range).
CI = 999 corresponds to minimum time.
CI = Long Range Cruise (Refer to PRO-NOR-SRP-01-50 Preparation for Descent and Approach -
Cost Index for Long-Range Cruise).
Note: The airline's operations department usually defines the cost index, to optimize each
company route. The flight crew does not ordinarily modify the cost index during a flight.

GENERAL
Ident.: DSC-22_20-40-30-00011080.0002001 / 17 AUG 10
Applicable to: ALL
The FMGC computes predictions for the primary and secondary flight plans and displays them on
the Multipurpose Control and Display Units (MCDU s), and on the navigation display (ND ) of the
Electronic Flight Instrument System (EFIS).
The computations use the current state of the aircraft (GW , CG, position, altitude, speed, engaged
mode of the autopilot or flight director, time, wind, temperature) for the active flight plan.
The computations use data entered by the flight crew for the secondary flight plan when it is not a
copy of the active flight plan. When the secondary flight plan is a copy of the active flight plan, it uses
the same data.
PREDICTIONS FOR THE PRIMARY FLIGHT PLAN
Ident.: DSC-22_20-40-30-00011085.0001001 / 17 AUG 10
Applicable to: ALL
The predictions displayed on the MCDU assume that the FMGS will guide the aircraft along the
preplanned lateral and vertical flight plans.
The predictions displayed on the ND assume that the aircraft will continue to operate in the modes
(selected or managed) that are currently active.
As long as the aircraft is flying the flight plan under managed guidance, the predictions on the MCDU
will match those on the ND.
If the flight crew does not fly the flight plan, the MCDU predictions assume that:
‐ The flight crew will fly back towards the flight-planned route
‐ The flight crew will immediately resume flying the FMGC managed modes.
If the flight crew does not fly the managed speed profile, the MCDU predictions assume that they will
maintain the selected speed until they reach:
‐ In the climb or descent phase, the next speed limit or speed constraint if any, or next phase
‐ In cruise, the top of descent.
Then, the predictions assume that the flight crew will revert to managed speed.

These predictions consist of symbols positioned along the lateral flight plan (NAV mode engaged)
or the track line (NAV mode not engaged). These symbols (named as pseudo waypoints) and their
meanings are:
Pseudo waypoint Definition
Level symbol at the position (top of climb or level-off) where the aircraft will reach:
‐ The FCU selected altitude (blue) or
‐ The constrained altitude, if it is more restrictive than the FCU altitude and if appropriate modes
are engaged (magenta).
Top of descent or continue descent symbol:
‐ Top of descent (always white)
‐ Continue descent symbol (white if DES is not armed, blue if it is).
Start of CLIMB symbol:
‐ White if CLB is not armed
‐ Blue if CLB is armed.
Intercept point symbol:
The point where the aircraft is predicted to intercept the descent path, if there is any vertical
deviation when the aircraft is in DES mode (white if DES is not engaged, blue if it is).
• Speed change symbol:
The point at which the aircraft will initiate an automatic ACCEL or DECEL from current speed to a
new computed speed if it encounters a SPD LIM , SPD CSTR , or HOLDING SPD (magenta).
Decelerate point symbol:
‐ Indicates the point at which the aircraft is predicted to decelerate for approach (and thus switch
to the approach phase)
‐ Magenta, if in managed speed and NAV or approach mode is engaged
‐ White, if in selected speed or HDG /TRK mode
‐ Automatic deceleration only occurs when displayed in magenta.

F-PLN.
The predicted time of arrival at the TO WPT is located in the upper right-hand corner of the ND . It
assumes direct distance from the aircraft position to the TO WPT and assumes current ground speed
will be constant.

As a general rule, the ND indicates what the aircraft will fly, with the current active FG modes.
For example:
‐ The continuous green line on the ND represents the track the aircraft is currently flying:
• If HDG /TRK is engaged, the track line is green and the flight plan is dashed
• If NAV mode is engaged, the green line is the flight plan.
‐ If the speed target is manually selected, the speed-change symbol is no longer displayed because
it will not be taken into account.
‐ When the aircraft is not following the vertical flight plan (OP CLB , OP DES , V/S ) but the NAV
mode is engaged, the system disregards any altitude constraints and puts white circles around the
waypoints that have these constraints and positions level symbols accordingly.
‐ Pseudo waypoints are adjusted each time predictions are updated.

Therefore:
‐ If the aircraft is guided along the flight plan (managed guidance), the MCDU predictions
correspond exactly to what the aircraft is doing
‐ If the aircraft is not guided along the flight plan (selected guidance), the MCDU predictions assume
that it will return immediately to the flight plan, intercepting at a predetermined angle, and will then
proceed under managed guidance
‐ If the aircraft does not fly the managed speed profile (ECON , SPD CSTR ...), the MCDU
predictions assume that it will remain at the present selected speed/Mach until it reaches the next
SPD CSTR or SPD LIM or enters the next flight phase.

ENGINE-OUT CASE
The FMGS computes an engine-out target speed for each flight phase. It computes an engine-out
maximum altitude at long-range cruise speed, and displays it on the PROG page.
The new speed target becomes Green Dot in climb, and EO CRZ SPD in cruise.
The system computes the flight plan predictions down to the primary destination. If the aircraft
is above EO MAX ALT , the predictions are computed, assuming that a drift down descent will
immediately be performed to reach EO MAX ALT.
Ident.: DSC-22_20-40-30-A-00011142.0001001 / 17 AUG 10
RECOMMENDED MAXIMUM ALTITUDE (REC MAX)
The recommended maximum altitude is the lowest of the maximum altitude that:
‐ The aircraft can reach with a 0.3 g buffet margin
‐ The aircraft can fly in level flight at MAX CRZ rating
‐ The aircraft can maintain a V/S of 300 ft/min at MAX CLB thrust
‐ The aircraft can fly at a speed higher than Green Dot and lower than VMO /MMO
‐ The aircraft is certified at.
The REC MAX altitude is displayed on the PROG page.
Anti-ice is not taken into account for this computation. Refer to QRH graphs if icing conditions are
expected.
A maximum altitude using a 0.2 g buffet margin is also computed. It is not displayed, but the
system uses it to limit CRZ ALT entry.

‐ Simplified wind/temperature models, based on flight crew entries:
• ALT CRZ wind, as entered on the FUEL PRED page
• CRZ temperature interpolated from the temperature model for the primary flight plan.
‐ Airway distance, or direct distance, as provided by the database (manual entry, if not in the

INTRODUCTION TO PERF AND IDLE FACTORS
Ident.: DSC-22_20-40-30-00014856.0001001 / 31 JAN 13
Applicable to: ALL
The FMGS contains a performance database to compute the predictions and the performance
data. This performance database has a model of several aircraft configurations (aircraft type/engine
model) to tune the performance and the FMGS predictions. For some aircraft configurations, the
model can differ from the real aircraft performance. In these cases, the FMGS has to correct the
computation of the performance and the predictions. This is the aim of PERF and IDLE factors.
With time, the real aircraft drag and engine performance can deviate from the nominal model.
The airline Flight Operations should periodically revise the value of these factors to adapt FMGS
predictions to actual aircraft performance.
Note: The IDLE factor is not available on aircraft with FMS1 Honeywell Legacy.

PERF FACTOR
Applicable to: ALL
Ident.: DSC-22_20-40-30-B-00011145.0001001 / 30 JAN 13
GENERAL
The FMGS uses the PERF factor to correct the predicted fuel flow that is used for the computation
of the fuel predictions.
The PERF factor modifies the predicted fuel flow, according to the following formula:
FF pred is the FF used for prediction.
FF model is the FF from the aero-engine model.
This correction is applied throughout the entire flight, and modifies the performance predictions
and the ECON speed or Mach.
For example: Entering a PERF factor of +1.5 means that Flight Operations have evaluated the
aircraft fuel deviation as 1.5 %, compared to the basic performance model (0.0).

When an aircraft ages, fuel consumption degradation will be measured to determine the so-called
“monitored fuel factor”. This factor corresponds to the deviation of the aircraft’s actual fuel
consumption from the nominal model. Generally, the FLHV that is used during fuel factor
monitoring is higher than the FMS value.
In order not to penalize FMS predictions, it is necessary to correct the “monitored fuel factor”.
For example, add -1 % to the “monitored fuel factor”, when an FLHV of 18590 btu/lb is used.
Once this factor is established by the airline, it should be arithmetically added to the above-noted
performance factor.
Note: 1. At delivery, ENTER the PERF factor (given in the table above) directly in the MCDU
(no correction factor is needed).
2. When replacing an FMS 1 Legacy by an FMS 2, on any given aircraft model, the
performance model that is stored in the FMS 2 may be different from the one that was
previously stored in the FMS1 Legacy.
As a result, DISREGARD the PERF factor previously entered in the MCDU.
ADD the “monitored fuel factor” (when available) to the PERF factor (given above),
and ENTER the resulting factor in the MCDU.
IDLE FACTOR
Applicable to: ALL
Ident.: DSC-22_20-40-30-D-00014861.0001001 / 29 SEP 15
GENERAL
The FMGS uses the IDLE factor to adjust the computation of the vertical profile during the descent
phase (IDLE segment).
The FMGS computes the vertical profile and the predictions from the Top of Descent (T/D) to the
first altitude constraint with the following assumptions:
‐ The aircraft has a given thrust
‐ The aircraft has a given speed (within the speed target range).
The IDLE Factor adjusts the value of the given thrust by an addition of a delta (DELTA) thrust to
IDLE thrust. With this additional thrust, the IDLE Factor gives flexibility to maintain the aircraft on
the computed vertical profile in case of external perturbations such as windy conditions (previously
entered by the flight crew in WIND pages).
Depending on the IDLE factor value, the FMGS modifies the position of the T/D and computes a
vertical profile in function of the given thrust (IDLE + DELTA).
Therefore, the IDLE factor has a direct impact on:
‐ The computation of vertical profile
‐ The capability of the aircraft to maintain the vertical profile.

IMPACT ON VERTICAL PROFILE
‐ If the IDLE factor is positive, the vertical profile is less steep than with IDLE factor 0. The
descent phase starts earlier.
‐ If the IDLE factor is negative, the descent path is steeper than with IDLE factor 0. The descent
phase start later.
The following graph provides an example (average values) of the IDLE factor's effect on descent
length:
Example: An IDLE factor of -3 decreases the computed descent length by 5 NM.

IMPACT ON GUIDANCE
In DES mode, the FMGS maintains the aircraft on the vertical profile and keeps the IAS within the
speed target range.
If the aircraft deviates above the profile, the IAS will increase to return to the vertical profile.
When the aircraft returns to the descent profile, the IAS will decrease to the target speed.

Note: The predicted altitude at a waypoint is related to the QNH below the transition altitude,
and is given as a flight level above the transition altitude.
The generic flight plan page displays the FROM waypoint (last waypoint to be overflown) on the
first line, and the TO waypoint (in white) on the second line. The FROM/TO flight plan leg is called
the active leg.
The flight crew can use the scroll keys to review all flight plan legs down to the last point of the

MCDU console.
The display shows the name of the leg between two waypoints, and the distance between them on
a line between the lines that identify them. During an approach, this in-between line also defines
the angle of the final descent path. For example, “2-3 °” indicates that the leg is two nautical miles
long, and the flight path angle is -3 °.

The display shows the bearing between FROM and TO waypoints as the bearing from the aircraft
position to the TO waypoint. It shows track (TRK) between the waypoints shown in lines 2 and 3.
This is the outbound track of the next leg.
If the database contains a published missed approach procedure, or if someone has inserted one
manually, the display shows it in blue after the destination runway identification. It turns green
when the go-around phase becomes active.
After the last waypoint of the missed approach, the display shows the alternate flight plan in NAV
mode.
When NAV mode is engaged, the flight crew can only clear or modify the TO waypoint by using
the DIR key on the MCDU console.
PREDICTIONS
The system calculates and displays predictions for all waypoints.
It uses the current wind to compute TO waypoint predictions, and uses predicted winds to
compute all others.
CONSTRAINTS
The database may define an altitude and speed constraint for each waypoint of the climb,
descent, and approach phases, or the pilot may manually insert such constraints (except at
origin, destination, FROM, and pseudo-waypoints).
The constraints are displayed in magenta, as long as predictions are not completed.
Once predictions are available, constraints are replaced by speed and altitude predictions,
preceded by stars. If the star is in magenta, the system predicts that the aircraft will match the
constraint (altitude within 250 ft, speed not more than 10 kt above the constraints). If the star is
in amber, the system predicts that the aircraft will miss the constraint and the MCDU displays:
“SPD ERROR AT WPT”.
Note: SPD and ALT CSTR may either be entered on the VERT REV page or directly on the
F-PLN A page, whereas TIME CSTR may only be entered from the RTA page.
PSEUDO-WAYPOINTS
Pseudo-waypoints are geographical positions corresponding to an event in the vertical flight
plan: T/C (top of climb), T/D (top of descent), SPD /LIM (speed limit), DECEL (deceleration for
approach), etc. The display shows them as waypoints in parentheses.
APPROACH DISPLAY
The flight crew cannot enter an altitude constraint at destination or Missed Approach Point
(MAP).

Displays the EFOB at each airport. EFOB is only computed in cruise phase.
Used to enter an anticipated headwind or tailwind along the bearing to the
airport. If the entry is preceded by +, T, or TL, a tailwind is assumed.
If the entry is preceded by -, H, or HD, a headwind is assumed.
Before pilot entry, a default value may be displayed, based on the current
wind.
The effective wind is used to compute the EFOB and time to the airport.

‐ Predictions (EFOB, TIME) displayed on the page assume:
• ECON CRZ speed (managed) or current selected speed (selected)
• CI (for managed speed only) and CRZ FL from primary F-PLN are kept
• constant wind value
• In case of engine out, the aircraft altitude is the minimum of (CRZ FL , EO MAX ALT)
• Downpath steps are not considered
• Descent fuel burn is a conservative value which only depends on the difference
between current CRZ ALT and destination altitude.

Note: Engine-out condition
‐ When the FMGS detects an engine-out condition, the system automatically calls up
the performance page for the current flight phase (except when this occurs before the
diversion point during takeoff or no EOSID exists in the flight plan) and displays “EO CLR

CLB , CRZ and DES (when the descent phase is not active) PERF pages, the pilot can
enter a cost index value and overwrite to “EO LRC”. Clearing the cost index reverts to
EO LRC.
If the pilot presses the [1R] key, the system reverts to the normal processing (with no
engine failed) and suppresses the EO information. (Refer to DSC-22_20-30-10-15

‐ The default value is 1 500 ft above runway elevation
‐ The flight crew can modify the value. The minimum value is 400 ft above
runway elevation, and it can be higher than, or equal to, or lower than
THR RED.
Note: ‐ A clearing action reverts both values to the defaulted ones
‐ When the flight crew selects an altitude on the FCU that is
below THR RED, it brings THR RED and ACC down to this
altitude. (The 400 ft minimum still applies).

must enter the QNH in hPa or in inches of mercury.
‐ For hPa, enter three or four digits
‐ For inches of mercury:
• Enter two digits, or
• Enter two digits followed by a decimal point and two additional digits.
The system interprets:
‐ 1 003 as 1 003 hPa;
‐ 29 as 29.00 in.
‐ 29.92 as 29.92 in.
Note: An erroneous entry of an OAT in QNH field, for example 22 °C, or
a higher value, is accepted by the system.
The flight crew can modify this entry at any time.
The Cabin Pressure Controller (CPC) uses the QNH to compute the cabin

Line 4 BRG/DIST On this line, the pilot can enter an airport, a waypoint, a NAVAID , or a
runway. The pilot may enter each as an IDENT , a latitude/longitude (LL ), a
place/bearing/distance (PBD), or a place-bearing/place-bearing (PBX). The
field then shows the FMGC -computed bearing and distance from this site to
the aircraft's present position. The last distance digit is in 1/10 of a NM. If it
does not have an IDENT, the point is called “ENTRY”.

Ident.: DSC-22_20-50-10-25-00013508.0019001 / 29 JAN 13
Applicable to: ALL
The MCDU features a back up navigation function which provides simplified point-to-point GPIRS
and IRS based navigation in case of a dual FM failure.
The backup Navigation mode allows limited lateral flight planning within the MCDU , that can be used
to drive the Navigation Display and provides relative path position information and auto-sequencing
of the Backup Navigation flight plan. The Backup Navigation flight plan reflects, as much as possible,
the active primary FM flight plan upon its initial activation.
During FM normal operation, the F-PLN is continuously downloaded in the MCDU memory: the
BACK UP NAV function links the MCDU of the failed FM to its onside IRS . All navigation data
related to the MCDU F-PLN are displayed on the associated ND.
BACK UP NAV function is activated on the MCDU MENU page by pressing the NAV B/UP prompt.
The MCDU back-up F-PLN may accept a maximum of 165 legs, including information such as
waypoint position/identification, leg type, discontinuity, overfly and turn direction information (radial,
pattern, heading leg... cannot be part of the MCDU F-PLN ). No secondary or temporary F-PLN
exists.
BACK UP NAV pages display the data related to the BACK UP NAV function. There are six pages
available while BACK UP NAV is active:
‐ B/UP F-PLN
‐ B/UP F-PLN for DIRECT TO
‐ B/UP PROG
‐ B/UP IRS for onside IRS (1+2)
‐ B/UP IRS 3
‐ B/UP GPS (if the GPS is installed)

Ident.: DSC-22_20-50-20-35-00000918.0020001 / 03 NOV 14
Applicable to: ALL
Messages displayed on the MCDU are of two types and displayed in two colors.
Type I : A direct result of a pilot action;
Type II : Information about a situation, or a call for pilot action;
Type II messages are stored in a first-in/first-out message queue (5 messages max)
They are suppressed, if correct data is entered or when they no longer apply
The flight crew can clear all messages by pressing the CLEAR key on the MCDU console.
Amber (A) : Important
White (W) : Less important
MESSAGE TYPE/COLOR CONDITIONS
A/C POSITION INVALID II/A The aircraft position has become invalid. If the message has been
cleared and the flight crew attempts to call up the HOLD at PPOS
or DIR TO page while the aircraft position is still invalid, then the
message is displayed again.

GENERAL
Ident.: DSC-22_20-60-10-00000921.0001001 / 10 DEC 09
Applicable to: ALL
The baro reference selector of the EIS (Electronic Instrument System) allows the pilot to use the
standard barometric reference (STD ), sea level atmospheric pressure (QNH ), or atmospheric
pressure at airfield elevation (QFE option) for the barometer setting.
The selected value is displayed in the baro reference display window of the EFIS control panel and
on the Primary Flight Display (PFD) below the altitude scale.
The barometer setting is used as a reference for the altimeter of the PFD and for the PFD target
altitude. In flight, it affects the predicted altitudes on the MCDU and the descent path computation.
MCDU ALTITUDE PREDICTIONS
Applicable to: ALL
Ident.: DSC-22_20-60-10-A-00000922.0001001 / 10 DEC 09
GENERAL
The FMGS predicts at each waypoint of the flight plan an altitude that is a function of all data in the
lateral and vertical flight plans.
Ident.: DSC-22_20-60-10-A-00000927.0001001 / 10 DEC 09
ON THE GROUND
The altitude predicted at each waypoint is displayed as altitude in feet above mean sea level
(AMSL) when it is below the transition altitude and as flight level when it is above the transition
altitude. The altitude constraints are also displayed, and they follow the same rule (feet or flight
level).
The predicted altitude is equal to the airport elevation plus the height you must attain in order to
reach the waypoint in the applicable mode (climb or descent).

Ident.: DSC-22_20-60-10-A-00000924.0001001 / 16 FEB 11
IN FLIGHT
The predicted altitude is equal to the aircraft altitude (as a function of the barometer setting),
plus or minus the height you must attain to reach the waypoint in the applicable mode (climb or
descent).
‐ In climb:
Altitude predictions and constraints are displayed as altitude in feet above mean sea level
(AMSL) at, or below, the transition altitude, and as the flight level above it.
For example : If the transition altitude is 5 000 ft and you insert an altitude constraint as 8 000 ft,
the MCDU F-PLN A page displays it as FL 80
‐ In descent:
If “STD ” is selected on the EIS control panel, altitude predictions and constraints above the
transition level are displayed as flight levels, and those below the transition level are displayed
as altitude AMSL.
If sea level standard pressure (QNH ), or field elevation pressure (QFE option), is selected on
the EIS control panel, altitude predictions and constraints are displayed as altitudes AMSL,
regardless of the transition altitude.
For example: If the transition level is FL 50 and you insert an altitude constraint of 8 000 ft into
the MCDU , the MCDU F-PLN S A page will display it as FL 80, if “STD ” is selected, and as
8 000 ft, if “QNH ” (or “QFE ” option) F-PLN A page is selected.
TARGET ALTITUDE ON PFD
Ident.: DSC-22_20-60-10-00000925.0001001 / 01 OCT 12
Applicable to: ALL
The PFD target altitude may either be:
‐ The altitude selected on the FCU, or
‐ A flight management altitude constraint, if the climb mode or descent mode is engaged and the
system predicts a level-off at a constraint that comes before reaching the FCU altitude.
The PFD target altitude depends on the barometer setting:
‐ If “STD” is selected, the target is a flight level
‐ If “QNH ” or “QFE” is selected, the target is an altitude or height.
The aircraft will level off accordingly.

FCOM ← C → 24 JAN 17
Note: ‐ If the pilot changes the barometer setting during ALT * or ALT CST*, the aircraft may
overshoot the target altitude, because the current value has been changed. However, the
ALT * and ALT CST* modes allow the aircraft to regain the FCU altitude. As a general
rule, avoid changing the barometer setting when in ALT * or ALT CST*
‐ In aircraft equipped to use field elevation pressure (QFE option), switching from STD
to QFE (or vice versa) in ALT CST* green changes the target value and may revert the
vertical mode into V/S mode.
NOTE FOR AIRCRAFT WITH QFE (FIELD ELEVATION PRESSURE) PIN PROGRAM
If you select “QFE ” on the EFIS control panel:
‐ The MCDU predictions follow the basic rules (altitudes are AMSL below the transition level,
flight levels above it)
‐ The altitude constraints on the MCDU follow the basic rules
‐ The target altitude on the PFD is QFE related:
• If the target altitude has been selected by the FCU, the aircraft will level off there.
• If the target altitude is an altitude constraint, the PFD automatically shows that constraint as
corrected by the airport elevation.

If a departure procedure defines an altitude constraint as an AMSL altitude above the transition
altitude, you must convert it to STD, because the system and guidance will treat it as a flight level
whenever you select the standard barometer setting.
b. In climb you should switch from QNH (or QFE ) to STD on both EFIS control panels
simultaneously when you reach the transition altitude.
All MCDU altitude predictions and altitude constraints and all PFD altitude targets will be displayed
as flight levels.
c. In descent, when ATC clears you to an altitude below the transition altitude, you can select QNH
(or QFE ) on both EFIS control panels simultaneously.
All MCDU altitude predictions and contraints and PFD targets are now altitude AMSL.

Applicable to: ALL
Clear a data field by pressing the “CLR” key, the scratchpad displays CLR, then select the prompt for
the field you want to clear (3L for example).
‐ You cannot clear all data fields:
• If the field contains data that has a default value or a value computed by the FMGC, the data
reverts to this value.
• Any attempt to clear the defaulted value has no effect.
‐ Clearing a constraint on the F-PLN page deletes both the speed constraint and the altitude
constraint associated with the waypoint
‐ If you clear a data field that is a waypoint in the flight plan (primary or secondary), you delete this
waypoint from the flight plan and create a discontinuity. The discontinuity can also be cleared in a
similar way.

DIVERSION TO THE ALTERNATE AIRPORT
Ident.: DSC-22_20-60-30-00009537.0001001 / 16 FEB 11
Applicable to: ALL
The primary F-PLN includes an alternate flight plan from destination to the preferred alternate airport.
All fuel prediction and management (EXTRA fuel) take the alternate flight plan into consideration.
If the crew decides to divert at the end of the cruise, or beyond the last ETP, or in the descent or
go-around phases, this will most probably be to the alternate airport.
When the crew decides to divert:
SELECT a lateral revision at suitable waypoint
SELECT ENABLE ALTN prompt
CHECK the temporary flight plan and INSERT
SELECT DIR TO required waypoint
Note: ‐ In most cases, the LAT REV shall be selected at the TO WPT . This will facilitate the
subsequent selection of the DIR TO waypoint.
‐ The ALTN flight plan shall be finalized, whenever the landing runway is known by the
crew (before approach briefing).
In most cases, this will ensure that the most probable flight plan is displayed on the
MCDU once ENABLE ALTN is selected.

if it is higher but no more than V2 +15. The magenta triangle indicates V2 in all cases. The GO
Around speed target is VAPP , or the current speed if higher, limited to VLS +15 kt
‐ The system limits autopilot (AP ) and flight director (FD) bank angles during takeoff and approach
phases as follows:
• 15 ° when the aircraft speed is below the maneuvering speeds (F, S, or Green Dot speed) -10 kt
, and then
• In selected lateral guidance:
• Linear increase to 25 ° up to maneuvering speeds (F, S, or Green Dot speed) -3 kt
• 25 ° above maneuvering speeds (F, S, or Green Dot speed) -3 kt .
• In managed lateral guidance:
• Linear increase to 30 ° up to maneuvering speeds (F, S, or Green Dot speed) -3 kt
• 30 ° above maneuvering speeds (F, S, or Green Dot speed) -3 kt .
Note: The engine-out bank angle limits apply, when the FG part of the FMGS has detected an
engine-out. It cannot be cleared by the crew through the MCDU EO CLEAR prompt.
AUTOTHRUST
Ident.: DSC-22_20-60-40-00000940.0001001 / 16 FEB 11
Applicable to: ALL
The system extends the active range of the active engine from idle to maximum continuous thrust
(MCT instead of CL thrust).
The Flight Mode Annunciator requests maximum continuous thrust on the live engine at a time that

GENERAL
An engine-out standard instrument departure (EOSID), when defined in the database, is always for
a specific runway. It is indicated on the bottom line of the SID page for that runway, and you can
select it manually.
The pilot can review the SID either by selecting the PLAN mode on the navigation display (solid
yellow line), or by selecting it on the SID page. In the latter case, the navigation display shows the
SID as a temporary flight plan.
The last point, if any, that is common to both the SID and engine-out SID is called the diversion
point (DP).

Ident.: DSC-22_20-60-40-A-00000943.0001001 / 14 MAY 12
WHEN AN ENGINE-OUT CONDITION OCCURS BEFORE THE DIVERSION POINT
The MCDU automatically shows the engine-out SID as a temporary flight plan on the F-PLN page
and on the ND. The EOSID can be inserted or erased.
Note: The EOSID Diversion Point is the waypoint at which the EOSID diverges from the active
SID.
If there is no common leg between the SID and the EOSID in the navigation database,
the diversion point is by default the runway threshold. Therefore the SID and EOSID
common leg(s) before the flight paths separation must be the same type and nature.

Initiate a diversion if necessary.
Note: The engine-out descent strategy requires disconnection of the autothrust, and descent in
OPEN DES mode.
Disconnecting the autothrust prevents an automatic setting of THR IDLE; therefore, the
autopilot will fly the target speed in OP DES mode, with a thrust manually selected by the
crew.
When reaching the FCU-selected altitude, or whenever normal descent is resumed to a
lower altitude, reengage the autothrust.

‐ The screen displays the “ACTIVATE SEC” prompt in flight if:
• HDG (or TRK) mode is engaged, or
• NAV mode is engaged, and the active leg of the primary and secondary flight plans is the same.
The FMS sequences the secondary flight plan the same way as the active flight plan, when it is a
copy of the active flight plan.
The navigation display shows the secondary flight plan in white. In PLAN mode, the crew can use the
slew keys to review the secondary flight plan (as for the primary flight plan).
PREDICTIONS
The FMGS computes predictions using the same performance methods and performance factor it
uses for the active flight plan. However, it predicts pseudo waypoints only for the MCDU not for the
Navigation Display (ND).

‐When the flight crew initializes the secondary flight plan with the SEC INIT function:
The FMGS computes the secondary flight plan predictions as if the aircraft were on ground
before engine start. The FMGS computes these predictions one time and does not update them
to indicate the progress of the flight (aircraft position, fuel consumption, etc.).
‐When the flight crew initializes the secondary flight plan with the COPY ACTIVE function:
The FMGS computes the secondary flight plan predictions as for the active flight plan. However:
• The FMGS stops the update of the predictions if the first leg of the active flight plan is no
longer the same as the active leg (i.e. if both flight plans diverge). The flight phase is the
same as the flight phase at the time of the divergence.
Note: This does not apply to the preflight phase, when the FMGS computes the
predictions if the departure airports are the same, even if the takeoff runways are
different.
‐The flight crew may use the secondary flight plan in the following cases:
• At takeoff when an alternate takeoff runway is probable
• On ground to initialize the FMGS again if the flight that the flight crew initially prepared is
replaced by another flight (Refer to PRO-NOR-SRP-01-05 Introduction)
• In flight to prepare a diversion
• In flight when an alternate landing runway is probable
• To prepare the next flight.

an active or secondary flight plan.
This also allows the pilot to store a company route that is not yet in the database, but is expected to
be flown several times (a charter route, for example).
Access the STORED ROUTES page from the DATA INDEX page.
A stored route can be reviewed by using the slew key.
In order to store a new route, first define the route through the active flight plan (on the ground only)
or the secondary flight plan (on the ground or in flight) then proceed as described below.

Note: In case SELECTED SPD is used, the CLOSEST AIRPORTS page still provides good use
to choose the applicable closest airport for diversion purposes. However, when SELECTED
SPD is significantly different from MANAGED SPD, the predictions in terms of time and fuel
must be disregarded since they are misleading.

The STEP ALTS function enables to define the successive cruise Flight Levels. The optimum
position to initiate a climb, from the initial (or current) cruise Flight Level to the next one, can also be
determined.
PRINCIPLE
GEOGRAPHIC STEPS
Up to four geographic steps may be defined on the STEP ALTS page. These steps are initiated
at the geographical position, along the F-PLN.
Rules
‐ The minimum step size is 1 000 ft.
‐ A Step Climb (S/C ) cannot follow a Step Descent (S/D).
‐ A STEP is automatically cleared, if:
• The S/C (S/D) is sequenced without any level change done by the crew.
• The crew achieves a LAT REV , which deletes the associated waypoint from the F-PLN
• By EO condition.
‐ A STEP is manually cleared:
• On the STEP ALTS page, by CLEARING the corresponding field.
• On the F-PLN page, by CLEARING the (S/C ) or (S/D) pseudo-waypoints.
‐ A STEP entry is IGNORED, if the remaining CRZ distance is less than about 50 NM.
‐ Once the steps are inserted in the F-PLN, they are displayed:
‐ On the MCDU , as (S/C ), (S/D ), (T/C ), (T/D) pseudo waypoints.
‐On the ND, by associated , , , white symbols.

OPTIMUM STEP
When geographic steps are inserted, or an altitude is entered, the FM proposes an OPTIMUM
STEP start of climb position for the first step climb altitude ahead. Predicted FUEL and TIME
savings are displayed when calculated to be greater than 100 kg or 1 min respectively. If no
savings are found, no optimum step is proposed.
The OPT STEP is not automatically inserted. The crew must insert it, if appropriate. Once
inserted, the OPT STEP point (OPT) becomes a fixed geographical point.
If some F-PLN parameters are subsequently changed (e.g. winds, new waypoints), an update
of the optimum position relative to the previous one may be proposed. If savings exist, this new
optimum may be inserted to replace the previous optimum step point.
Once an OPT STEP is inserted in the F-PLN , and the crew achieves a lateral F-PLN revision,
the FM keeps the (OPT ) along the new F-PLN, at the same distance from the aircraft’s position,
as previously determined.
Rules
‐ The OPT STEP is only computed by the FM , if data required for the prediction
computation are inserted : F-PLN , CRZ FL , CI, GW , CG at least.
‐ The search of the OPT STEP begins 20 NM beyond (T/C) before Cruise, or ahead of the
aircraft’s position.
‐ The search of the OPT STEP ends 20 NM before the next STEP POINT, or 300 NM before
the (T/D).
‐ Only one OPT STEP is computed at a time.
Guidance
When reaching the step point, the steps must be initiated by the crew by selecting the new
CRZ FL , and pressing the FCU ALT selector knob. If sequenced without any crew action, the
step is automatically deleted.

Applicable to: ALL
A time constraint (RTA) may be assigned at any waypoint of the F-PLN, downpath of the origin and
the FROM waypoint. It can be an ”AT”, “AT OR BEFORE”, or “AT OR AFTER” constraint.
The FMS computes a new managed speed profile from the aircraft position to the constrained
waypoint, in order to match the 30 s difference (ΔT) between the time predicted at the constrained
waypoint and the RTA. This modified managed speed profile can be checked using the speed
prediction, displayed for each waypoint of the F-PLN page.
The RTA function uses a speed range between Green Dot speed and VMO - 10 (or MMO - 0.02).
When the constrained waypoint is sequenced, the ECON SPD/MACH is resumed unless the
constrained waypoint is located in a descent segment.
Note: The FM does not compute a new managed speed profile when a RTA is entered in the
descent profile while the aircraft is in cruise within 40 NM from the top of descent.
The time constraint is inserted on the RTA page. A time constraint may be inserted at any waypoint
of the primary or secondary flight plan.
If an engine-out condition is detected, the time constraint is automatically deleted and RTA
DELETED message on scratchpad.
If the aircraft enters a holding pattern, the downpath time constraint is deleted.
Once inserted in the F-PLN , the RTA is displayed in magenta on the F-PLN page, as long as no
predictions are available.
Once the predictions are available, the time constraint is replaced by the new predicted time at the
associated waypoint, and highlighted by a star: (*)
‐ The (*) is magenta, if the time constraint is matched with the 30 s criteria.
‐ The (*) is amber, if the time constraint is missed.

‐ If a time constraint is entered at a waypoint in the F-PLN , the takeoff time required to
match the constraint is automatically computed by the FM. This result is displayed in
magenta as ETT at the origin.
USE OF TIME/ETT CONSTRAINT
During preflight : ‐ If an ETT has been entered, time predictions are based on the
entered value (or clock time, if greater).
‐ If both an ETT and a time constraint have been entered, time
predictions are based on the entered ETT value (or clock time, if
greater). The managed speed profile is computed to match the time
constraint, as closely as possible, using a pseudo cost index value.
(Not displayed).
‐ If only a time constraint has been entered:
• Optimum speeds are computed to determine the ETT, so as to
satisfy the time constraint.
• If necessary, flight time (based on optimum speeds) plus clock time
(current) is greater than the time constraint ; optimum speeds are
modified to match the time constraint as closely as possible.
After Takeoff : The predictions are based on the current time.
Speeds are adjusted to satisfy the time constraint.

As a consequence:
‐ LAT F-PLN is flown in HDG /TRK modes
‐ VERT F-PLN is flown in OPEN/V/S /FPA modes
‐ SPD TARGET is manually SELECTED on the FCU
‐ SPD /MACH crossover is manually SELECTED on the FCU.
It is recommended to use the TRK /FPA modes:
SELECT the required TRK on FCU at waypoint sequencing (as no AP /FD coupling exists in NAV
B/UP). F-PLN sequencing is automatic.
MONITOR the track of the next leg prior reaching the TO waypoint (track between TO and next
waypoints is true track).
ADJUST the track to follow the F-PLN with X-TRK = 0
USE OP DES or FPA to descend as suitable.
FPA allows easy altitudes predictions:

WRITE in the scratchpad then ENTER the navaid LAT /LONG
SELECT associated navaid needle on the EFIS control panel.
COMPARE computed BRG /DIST with RAW DATA on ND
‐ If the crosscheck is POSITIVE the ND may be used in ROSE NAV /MAP modes with raw data
‐ If the crosscheck is NEGATIVE the ND must be used in ROSE VOR /ROSE ILS modes.
Note: B/UP IRS and B/UP GPS pages may also be used to check the position.

Waypoint insertion into the F-PLN is performed via the B/UP F-PLN page by selecting the line
key adjacent to the desired point of insertion, whenever a pre-existing waypoint identifier or valid
IDENT /LAT /LONG or LAT /LONG entry is displayed in the scratchpad.
Any waypoint entry which causes the number of legs in the route to exceed the maximum allowed
results in the “F-PLN FULL” message.
Note: ‐ If the inserted waypoint is entered only with LAT /LONG, its identifier would be :
N48E001
‐ If the flight crew writes a waypoint IDENT /LAT /LONG with an IDENT already used in
the F-PLN, a message “NOT ALLOWED" is displayed.

In this example, the entered DIR TO waypoint is a LAT /LONG waypoint.
Due to the fact that this new waypoint is not identical to any waypoint in the F-PLN, a direct leg to
that waypoint is created and followed by a discontinuity.
When the DIR TO function is completed, the B/UP F-PLN page is displayed with the DIR TO
waypoint as the TO waypoint and the T-P waypoint as the FROM waypoint.
If a DIR TO function is achieved for a waypoint that belongs to the B/UP F-PLN , no F-PLN

DESCENT PROFILE OPTIMIZATION
Ident.: DSC-22_20-60-150-00019723.0001001 / 07 JUN 16
Applicable to: ALL
During the idle segment in descent, margins are added to the idle thrust to have more flexibility
to maintain the aircraft on the computed descent profile in case of external perturbations such as
important wind change.
The Descent Profile Optimization (DPO ) optimizes the computed vertical profile. It decreases
the idle thrust margins in descent and the speed margins in approach to reduce fuel burn in descent
phase.
With DPO , the computed vertical profile is steeper. The T/D is reached later. Before the final
approach, the deceleration level-off is shorter.
With DPO , along the idle segment, without altitude constraint, the descent profile computed by
the FMS is the same as the one flown in OPEN DES mode. Therefore, reverting in OPEN DES mode
during the descent does not change the descent rate.

With DPO , the FMGS has less flexibility to maintain the aircraft on the computed vertical profile
in case of difference between wind entry and effective wind. Therefore, the accurate winds have to
be entered in the FMGS before descent.
During descent, the VDEV should be closely monitored. If the aircraft goes above the flight descent
profile, the flight crew may have to extend speed brakes to go back on the computed descent profile.
If ENG ANTI ICE or ENG ANTI ICE + WING ANTI ICE are used during descent (inducing an
increased idle thrust), the flight crew may have to extend speed brakes to stay on the computed
descent profile.

REQUEST FOR ACTIVE FLIGHT PLAN INITIALIZATION BEFORE ENGINE START
Before engine start, the crew may request a route for the active flight plan. When the route is
received, “AOC ACT F-PLN UPLINK” message is displayed on the MCDU indicating that the flight
plan has been received and automatically inserted.
After engine start, it is not possible to initialize directly the active flight plan since the received
flight plan is automatically routed into the secondary, and the MDCU displays “AOC SEC F-PLN
UPLINK”.
PROCEDURE
PRESS the INIT REQUEST * prompt.
The star (*) disappears, all data fields are dashed except:
‐ CO RTE , FLT NBR if previously displayed and
‐ Ddefault values.
The star is not displayed when the FMGS cannot communicate with the ACARS. No request
can be sent.
When an active flight plan exists, INIT REQUEST prompt is removed from the active INIT page
and no request can be sent for the active flight plan. If a flight plan is entered manually after the
request, the uplink message is routed to the secondary.

AUTOMATIC FMGC RESET AND RESYNCHRONIZATION
Applicable to: ALL
Ident.: DSC-22_20-90-10-A-00012661.0001001 / 07 MAR 13
FM RESET
When the FM software cannot work properly or receives instructions to perform impossible
operations, it automatically resets itself. A resynchronization with the other FM always follows.
When the reset is a minor one, the system will recover by itself. One single reset lasts 2 to 3 s
maximum followed by 25 s of resynchronization.
When the reset is a major one:
‐ Resets recur at short intervals (several in 2 or 3 min)
‐ The memories are cleared, leading to the loss of F-PLN , GW , CI , CRZ FL , MCDU -entered
speeds and NAVAIDs and to database switching.
Note: If three dual FM resets occur in 2 min, pilot-entered data is lost. If a dual reset is
identified, it is recommended that the flight crew does not perform again the last MCDU
actions for 1 min (in order to avoid a potential second dual reset, leading to the loss of
pilot-entered data).
Ident.: DSC-22_20-90-10-A-00012662.0001001 / 10 JAN 11
FM RESYNCHRONIZATION
An FM resynchronization automatically occurs after an FM reset but it may occur independently
each time self comparisons between FM 1 and FM2 reveal discrepancies.
One single resynchronization lasts approximately 25 s.
If 5 several resynchronizations occur within 5 min, independent mode commences.

FMGC STATUS DURING A RESET/RESYNCHRONIZATION
While a RESET/RESYNCH occurs:
‐ The ND shows “MAP NOT AVAIL”
‐ The MCDU reverts to the A/C STATUS page, with “PLEASE WAIT” displayed in the scratchpad
‐ Autotuning of Navaids (VOR , DME , ADF) are lost on the failed side
‐ AP and managed modes may be transiently lost (reversion to HDG /V/S or TRK/FPA)
‐ If the pilot presses a key while the scratchpad is showing “PLEASE WAIT”, there is no change
at MCDU level. This is normal, and the crew should not respond by pulling the MCDU circuit
breaker.

While failed, the following occurs:
‐ On the ND usually associated with the failed FMGC:
If the ND s are not both in the same mode or range, the associated ND displays “MAP NOT
AVAIL” and “SET OFFSIDE RNG/MODE”. If the ND s are in the same mode and range, the
associated ND displays the “OFFSIDE FM CONTROL” amber message
‐ The MCDU reverts to the MENU PAGE and shows an “FMGC TIME OUT” prompt

MISALIGNMENT OF FMS F-PLN LEGS FOR ILS APPROACHES
Ident.: DSC-22_20-100-20-00013650.0001001 / 23 JUN 15
Applicable to: ALL
For the F-PLN legs belonging to an ILS approach, the FMS incorrectly uses its own Magnetic
Variation table instead of the Magnetic Variation of the ILS associated to the approach (coded in the
Navigation Data Base). This misbehaviour occurs when the Navaid used for the ILS approach is a
DME.
In some cases, it may happen that magnetic variation of the airport differs by a few degrees from the
ILS navaid. Thus, the FMS F-PLN does not match with the actual beam of the ILS beam.
When the ILS approach is coded with successive legs, these legs may also appear as not matching
with intermediate approach waypoint.
For all approaches affected by this behaviour, the FMS will display an incorrect trajectory on ND for
the LS approach. The guidance would also be wrong if the approach legs are flown in NAV instead of
LOC mode.
INCORRECT MANAGEMENT OF ETA ENTRY ON PREDICTIVE GPS PAGE
Ident.: DSC-22_20-100-20-00013652.0001001 / 22 MAY 12
Applicable to: ALL
During pre-flight, when a destination airport exists but the FMS does not compute predictions,
amber boxes are displayed in the MCDU field ETA of the predicitve GPS page. When the flight crew
manually enters an ETA, the value should be displayed in large cyan font.
With the current H2 standard, the FMS does not take into account the manual entry of an ETA (field
1R) for the destination (DEST, field 1L).
The FMS validates the manual entry only when an ETA is already computed by the FMS , when
predictions are available (necessary conditions to have some predictions are : entry of a GW , CRZ
FL , CI and F-PLN).
This anomaly does not impact the ETA of the WPT field (3L and 3R). An ETA can be entered in the
field 3L even if no predictions are computed.

Applicable to: ALL
When a Flight Plan (F-PLN ) uplink is performed, if the uplinked F-PLN is inserted as the active
F-PLN but does not contain a Flight Number, the previously entered Flight Number is erased. In such
a case, the flight crew needs to re-enter the correct Flight Number on the INIT A page.
LOSS OF FMS POSITION FURTHER TO IRS LOSS
Ident.: DSC-22_20-100-20-00013654.0001001 / 23 JUN 15
Applicable to: ALL
The loss or the failure of an Inertial Reference System (IRS ) could result in the loss of the FMS
position with the following cockpit effects :
‐ MAP NOT AVAIL GPS , PRIMARY LOST displayed on ND
‐ The DIR TO page is unavailable on both MCDU
‐ During approach, transient ATHR thrust variations at autopilot disconnection (Only applicable in
case of IR 1 FAULT).
Technical explanation :
The FMS needs valid data from the IRS in order to compute a position.
The FMS checks the IRS data with a specific parameter coming from the Flight Guidance (FG)
part of the FMGC . When an IRS is lost or off (dispatched inoperative), the onside FG erroneously
indicates to the FMS that the IRS DATA is still valid.
As a result, the FMS position is lost on the same side than the IRS inoperative (IRS 1 for FMS 1 and
IRS for FMS2). The manual switching on IRS 3 (ATT HDG on CAPT 3 or F/O 3) does not enable to
recover the data.

ERRONEOUS FUEL PREDICTION IN THE CASE OF
DESCENT WITH TWO ALTITUDE CONSTRAINTS
Ident.: DSC-22_20-100-20-00013655.0001001 / 16 MAR 11
Applicable to: ALL
DESCRIPTION:
If the flight plan has two altitude constraints for the descent, the flight crew may notice erroneous
FMS fuel predictions.
EXPLANATION
If the flight plan has two altitude constraints for the descent, the FMS may define a geometric
segment between both altitude constraints. If there is a deceleration required within the
geometric segment, the FMS may consider that the geometric segment is too steep to fly without
speedbrakes. In this case, the FMS tags the entire geometric segment as a speedbrake segment :
The FMS assumes that during the entire segment half of the speedbrakes are extended, even for
the parts where no deceleration is planned. As a consequence, the FMS will predict an increased
thrust for the entire geometric segment. This may lead to erroneous fuel predictions. (a long
geometric segment (e.g. above 100 NM) may lead to an error of 1.5 t for the fuel prediction at
destination).
Note: When flying the geometric segment, the predictions become better as the aircraft
approaches the end of the geometric segment, and turn back to normal when the aircraft
has sequenced the second altitude constraint.
PROCEDURE:
If the flight crew suspects this behavior in preflight, or during the flight, they can delete and enter
again one altitude constraint in descent and compare the fuel predictions of the flight plan with and
without the geometric segment. This allows the flight crew to evaluate the impact of the geometric
segment on the fuel predictions.
It is not recommended to permanently delete altitude constraints that are stored in the navigation
database.

UNEXPECTED SWITCH OF SPEED TARGET WHEN RTA IS USED
Ident.: DSC-22_20-100-20-00013659.0001001 / 16 NOV 11
Applicable to: ALL
An anomaly could be experienced when the RTA (Requested Time of Arrival) function is used.
The MCDU and the PFD could suddenly display an erroneous speed target at the transition altitude
when a RTA is entered and if the flight crew performs an action (Vapp entry or altitude constraint
modification) that causes a F-PLN profile recomputation.
This scenario could also occur if the flight crew has inserted a RTA and then deleted this RTA (the
FMS may erroneously retain the RTA target).
Some cases could happen while the aircraft is in descent (DES mode) in managed speed. This
speed target change is significant at high altitude if the RTA speed target is lower than the speed
target used before the beginning of the descent.
PROCEDURE
If an erroneous speed target is displayed at high altitude, the flight crew can manually select a
speed to continue the descent.
UNDUE AP DISCONNECTION OR REVERSION TO V/S DURING CLIMB AND DESCENT
Ident.: DSC-22_20-100-20-00014436.0017001 / 23 JUN 15
Applicable to: ALL
An AP disconnection or a reversion to the V/S mode may occur when the aircraft reaches an altitude
constraint in the CLB or DES mode. The following are two situations in which this behavior may
occur.
Situation 1: The aircraft is above the vertical profile.
When the aircraft is not on the vertical profile, the FMS makes assumptions in order to compute the
FMS predictions. For example, if the aircraft flies in selected speed, the FMS considers an immediate
return to managed speed.
These assumptions can result in FMS predictions that are not consistent with the real trajectory of
the aircraft. Therefore, the FMS may not anticipate the need to level off, when the FCU selected
altitude is above the altitude constraint in climb or below the altitude constraint in descent.

order to level off and comply with the altitude constraint.
Due to problem of communication between the FMS and the FG , the FMGC may unduly revert to
the V/S mode. The FWC triggers a triple-click aural warning , and the aircraft goes beyond the
altitude constraint.
Situation 2: The aircraft levels off at an altitude constraint in descent.
When the aircraft reaches an altitude constraint with the DES mode engaged and the FCU selected
altitude below the altitude constraint, the FG engages the ALT CST * mode. The FG also arms the
DES mode, in order to resume the descent beyond the waypoint with the altitude constraint.
In very rare cases, the FMS does not see that the FG arms the DES mode:
‐ If the FINAL APP mode is armed, the FMGC may unduly:
‐ Disconnect the AP, or
‐ Disconnect the AP and revert to the V/S mode, or
‐ Revert to the V/S mode.
‐ If the FINAL APP mode is not armed, the FMGC may unduly revert to the V/S mode.
In both of the above-mentioned cases, the FWC triggers a triple-click aural warning , and the
aircraft goes beyond the altitude constraint.
If the AP disconnects, the FWC triggers a cavalry-charge aural warning.

OPERATIONAL RECOMMENDATIONS
Understand your FMA at all times.
If the AP disconnects, or if the FMGC reverts to the V/S mode:
Adjust the vertical speed or level off in order to comply with the altitude constraint.
VOR/DME AND VOR/TACAN NOT AUTOMATICALLY TUNED
Ident.: DSC-22_20-100-20-00014440.0001001 / 04 MAY 12
Applicable to: ALL
In case there is no NAVAID in the flight plan, nor any recommended NAVAID coded in the inserted
procedure, the FMS may not automatically tune the expected Terminal or Low Altitude VOR /DME or
VOR /TACAN.
The FMS may not automatically tune the expected NAVAID , if the aircraft is above 12 000 ft for a
Terminal VOR /DME or VOR /TACAN , and above 18 000 ft for a Low Altitude NAVAID.
As a consequence, the ND and the MCDU RAD NAV page may not display the NAVAID information.
OPERATIONAL RECOMMENDATIONS
If the flight crew encounters the misbehavior during the flight, the flight crew can manually tune the
expected VOR /DME or VOR /TACAN to recover the display on the ND.
As a manual tuning overrides any automatic tuning, the flight crew must clear the manual tuning,
when the NAVAID is no longer required, in order to revert to the automatic NAVAID tuning.
OPTIMUM TARGET SPEEDS NOT UPDATED FOLLOWING

Ident.: DSC-22_20-100-20-00014756.0001001 / 18 DEC 12
Applicable to: ALL
During the FMS climb phase, if the flight crew selects an altitude on the FCU that is above the Cruise
Flight Level (CRZ FL ) displayed on the PROG page, the altitude selected on the FCU becomes the
new CRZ FL.

FCOM ← I to J → 22 MAR 17
If this new CRZ FL is at or above the altitude of a Step Climb of the flight plan, the FMS automatically
deletes the Step Climb. The FMS displays the "STEP DELETED" message.
As the optimum target speeds (ECON CLIMB speed/Mach and ECON CRUISE speed/Mach) depend
on the CRZ FL , the FMS should immediately update the ECON CLIMB speed/Mach and the ECON
CRUISE speed/Mach.
Due to a FMS misbehavior, the FMS may not correctly manage the automatic deletion of the Step
Climb when the CRZ FL is automatically set to the altitude selected on the FCU . The FMS may not
update the ECON CLIMB speed/Mach and the ECON CRUISE speed/Mach accordingly.
If the ECON CRUISE speed/Mach was not correctly updated, the FMS updates the ECON CRUISE
speed/Mach when the aircraft reaches the new CRZ FL . However the FMS updates the ECON
CRUISE speed/Mach with a rate of 0.01 Mach/min, in order to avoid a sudden increase of the
speed target. Therefore the aircraft may take several minutes to reach the new ECON CRUISE
speed/Mach.
OPERATIONAL RECOMMENDATIONS
If the flight crew suspects this misbehavior during the flight:
REENTER the Cruise Flight Level (CRZ FL ) on the PROG page, or the Cost Index (CI ) on the
PERF page, in order to activate an immediate update of the optimum target speeds (ECON CLIMB
speed/Mach and ECON CRUISE speed/Mach).
ERRONEOUS LATERAL GUIDANCE IN NAV MODE
WITH LOC MODE ARMED DURING APPROACH
Ident.: DSC-22_20-100-20-00015035.0001001 / 03 DEC 13
Applicable to: ALL
During approach, the FMS may guide the aircraft along a specific track instead of along the
F-PLN with NAV mode green on the FMA , because of the LOC Convergence function (Refer to
DSC-22_30-80-30-10 Precision Approach Modes - APPR Mode ).
The logics of the LOC Convergence function is as follows:
If NAV mode is engaged, and LOC mode is armed,
and
The aircraft is within 20 NM of the destination runway,
and
The difference between the aircraft track and the QFU is less than 20 °.
The aircraft is guided with a converging track of 20 ° from the LOC axis.
The NAV mode remains engaged. However the aircraft no longer follows the F-PLN, but
converges towards the LOC axis.

FCOM ← J to K 22 MAR 17
If the difference between the aircraft track and the QFU becomes more than 20 ° when the
LOC Convergence function is active:
The FMS deactivates the LOC Convergence function, and the aircraft follows back the F-PLN.
It may lead to slight oscillations, since the FMS may successively activate and deactivate the
LOC Convergence function.
OPERATIONAL RECOMMENDATIONS
If the flight crew considers that the LOC Convergence function may affect the guidance
along the F-PLN trajectory in NAV mode:
On the intercept trajectory for the LOC axis, the flight crew should push the APPR pb (or the
LOC pb-sw) when appropriate.
If the flight crew detects that the aircraft does not follow the intended trajectory:
The flight crew should revert to HDG/TRK mode, and intercept the LOC axis with the
HDG/TRK mode engaged and the LOC mode armed.
UNDUE REDUCTION OF THE SPEED TARGET IN CASE OF DIR
TO/ABEAM WHILE FLYING A CONSTANT MACH SEGMENT
Ident.: DSC-22_20-100-20-00015532.0003001 / 18 MAR 14
Applicable to: ALL
The FMS may erroneously command a Mach target of 0, when the following conditions are met:
‐ The aircraft is flying a Constant Mach Segment (CMS), and
‐ The TO waypoint is the end of the CMS, and
‐ The aircraft is close to the TO waypoint, i.e. about 1 NM, and
‐ The flight crew performs a DIR TO/ABEAM to a waypoint that is not part of the CMS.
In that case, the FMS does not create the abeam of the TO waypoint (end of the CMS), since it is too
close from the aircraft.
In addition, the FMS erroneously keeps the CMS until the abeam of the next waypoint, and defines
0 as Mach target on the CMS . The FMS correctly computes the speed target once the abeam of the
next waypoint is sequenced.
OPERATIONAL RECOMMENDATIONS
The flight crew should manually clear the CMS on the MCDU VERT REV page.

LOSS OF FUEL AND TIME PREDICTIONS DURING TAKEOFF DATA INSERTION
Ident.: DSC-22_20-100-20-00015602.0001001 / 05 AUG 14
Applicable to: ALL
The flight crew may lose fuel and time prediction when the altitude of the first constraint is less than
50 ft below either the THR RED ALT or the ACC ALT , the update of fuel and time computation
predictions may last a long time. The flight crew may think that the predictions are lost (the DEST
EFOB and TRIP FUEL are also dashed on the FUEL PRED page).
The flight crew may encounter the situation described above, if one of the following occurs:
‐ The first altitude constraint of the SID is less than 50 ft below either the THR RED ALT or the ACC
ALT.
‐ The flight crew inserts a THR RED ALT or an ACC ALT less than 50 ft above the first altitude
constraint of the F-PLN.
‐ The flight crew modifies the F-PLN to insert an AT or an AT OR BELOW altitude constraint less
than 50 ft below the THR RED ALT or the ACC ALT.
OPERATIONAL RECOMMENDATION:
The flight crew can recover the fuel and time predictions if the flight crew sets the THR RED ALT or
ACC ALT value on the PERF TAKEOFF page to the same value as the first altitude constraint of the
F-PLN.
ERRONEOUS TRAJECTORY DURING PROCEDURES WITH A
TURN DIRECTION ON A LEG WITH AN ALTITUDE TERMINATION
Ident.: DSC-22_20-100-20-00015748.0001001 / 09 SEP 14
Applicable to: ALL
In some very specific operational conditions that depend on the coding in the Navigation Database
of the procedure, and on various performance conditions (aircraft weight, flaps, thrust setting,
temperature, wind...), the FMS may compute an erroneous trajectory on some Standard Instrument
Departures (SID), and on some Missed Approach procedures.

FCOM ← M → 22 MAR 17
The SIDs and the Missed Approach procedures that may be affected are coded in the Navigation
Database with a leg that has a turn direction and an altitude termination. The leg can be one of the
following:
‐ A Course-to-an-Altitude (CA) leg that defines a course to follow to an altitude
‐ A Fix-to-an-Altitude (FA) leg that defines a track to follow from a waypoint to an altitude
‐ A Heading-to-an-Altitude (VA) leg that defines a heading to follow to an altitude
‐ A Holding-to-an-Altitude (HA) leg that defines a holding pattern to an altitude
The turn direction (left or right) that is coded on a leg indicates that the aircraft has to execute a turn
in the specified direction to intercept the leg.
In some very specific operational conditions (aircraft weight, wind...), the FMS may predict that the
aircraft will reach the altitude that terminates the leg, before the initiation of the leg. In that case, the
FMS ignores the leg, and the associated turn direction.
The FMS computes a new trajectory to directly join the next leg. The trajectory may not be consistent
with the published trajectory.
Example:
‐ Leg 1: a Course-to-Fix (CF) leg that defines a track (360 °) to a waypoint (WPT1)
‐ Leg 2 : a Course-to-an-Altitude (CA) leg that defines a track (130 °) to intercept an altitude
(3 000 ft). The leg is coded in the Navigation Database with a turn direction (left). The end of the
leg depends on the aircraft performance. The turn direction is indicated by an arrow on the line of
leg 1 on the MCDU
‐ Leg 3: a CF leg that defines a track (120 °) to a waypoint (WPT2)
Depending on the aircraft performance, the FMS may predict that the aircraft will reach 3 000 ft
before WPT1. In that case, the FMS ignores the leg 2 (CA leg) because the aircraft is already above
the altitude that ends leg 2, before the beginning of leg 2. The FMS also ignores the turn direction
that is coded on the leg.

FCOM ← M to N → 22 MAR 17
As a result, the FMS computes again the trajectory from the end of leg 1, directly to leg 3. As shown
on the above illustration, this trajectory includes a right turn, instead of a left turn, because it induces
the shortest course change to intercept leg 3 (CF leg).
If the NAV mode is engaged, the aircraft follows this erroneous trajectory.
OPERATIONAL RECOMMENDATIONS
The flight crew should pay particular attention to the check of the flight plan during the Cockpit
Preparation, and during the Descent Preparation.
CAUTION Even if the flight plan is correct during the Cockpit Preparation or during the
Descent Preparation, the FMS may compute and display an erroneous trajectory
when the FMS updates its predictions after takeoff or after go-around initiation.
If the flight crew detects that the lateral flight plan does not agree with the published trajectory, the
flight crew should revert to the HDG /TRK mode, and monitor NAVAID raw data as appropriate.
The flight crew should reengage the NAV mode when the lateral flight plan is consistent with the
published trajectory.
ERRONEOUS VERTICAL PROFILE DURING LOC B/C APPROACHES
WITH A MAP LOCATED BEFORE THE RUNWAY THRESHOLD
Ident.: DSC-22_20-100-20-00019782.0001001 / 25 JUL 16
Applicable to: ALL
DESCRIPTION
When the flight crew selects a LOC Back Course (LOC B/C ) approach in the arrival page of the
MCDU , if the Missed Approach Point (MAP ) is located before the runway threshold, the FMS
builds the final approach vertical flight path assuming that there is an altitude constraint at the
MAP , equal to the runway (RWY ) threshold elevation plus 50 ft, disregarding the actual coded
MAP altitude.
As a result, the FMS computes an erroneous vertical flight path for the final approach, an
erroneous crossing altitude at the MAP , and displays an erroneous vertical deviation indication
(V/DEV symbol on the PFD and V/DEV value on MCDU PROG page), when flying the approach.

Therefore, the flight crew must fly the LOC B/C approaches in selected vertical guidance mode
(FPA or V/S mode), and they must disregard the V/DEV displayed on the PFD and MCDU PROG
page.
PROCEDURE
For LOC B/C approaches, check the position of the MAP on the approach chart:
If the MAP is located at the runway threshold:
V/DEV symbol can be used to assist the flight crew in flying the vertical flight path in selected
mode. Crosscheck the final descent with the published chart using altitude versus distance, as
per Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs).
If the MAP is located before the runway threshold:
DISREGARD the V/DEV symbol, and crosscheck the final descent using the altitude versus
the distance to the MAP.

PROCEDURE
If erroneous predictions are observed:
ON GROUND, OR IN FLIGHT
Check the cruise temperature (sign and value), the gross weight, and the cruise flight level.
REENTER the same cost index to restart a computation (In descent or approach, a cost index
change does not restart a computation), or

MODE REVERSIONS
Ident.: DSC-22_30-10-00011032.0001001 / 17 AUG 10
Applicable to: ALL
There are several types of mode reversions. Each one observes a specific logic that is described in
the "Mode Reversions" section. (Refer to DSC-22_30-75 General).
GUIDANCE MODES
Ident.: DSC-22_30-10-00011033.0002001 / 23 JUN 15
Applicable to: ALL
Two types of autopilot and flight director modes are available to guide the aircraft:
‐ Managed modes: When the aircraft is using managed targets, the Flight Management and
Guidance System (FMGS ) guides it along lateral and vertical flight paths and speed profiles
computed by the Flight Management function (FM ) from data in the MCDU . FM manages the
guidance targets.
‐ Selected modes: When the flight crew is using selected targets, the FMGS guides the aircraft
along lateral and vertical flight paths and speed profiles to meet targets that the flight crew has
selected manually on the FCU. The flight crew selects the guidance targets.

‐ At takeoff, the managed modes engage automatically when the flight crew sets the thrust levers
at the TO or FLX detent.
‐ During flight, the flight crew can arm or engage the managed modes (if the aircraft meets
engagement conditions) by pushing in the appropriate knobs on the Flight Control Unit (FCU).
‐ The flight crew pushes the DIR TO key on the MCDU to insert a DIR TO leg. It engages or
maintains the NAV mode.
‐ The flight crew pushes the APPR pb on the FCU to arm or engage the localizer and glide slope
or “APP NAV-FINAL”, depending upon the approach type insert in the flight plan.
‐ The LOC pb arms or engages only the localizer mode.
SELECTED MODES
The flight crew can engage the selected modes by pulling out the appropriate FCU selection
knobs.

INTERACTION BETWEEN AP/FD AND A/THR MODES
Ident.: DSC-22_30-10-00011037.0002001 / 23 JUN 15
Applicable to: ALL
The AP and FD pitch modes can control a target SPD /MACH or a vertical trajectory, and the A/THR
mode can control a fixed thrust or a target SPD /MACH. However, the AP /FD and the A/THR cannot
both control a target SPD/MACH simultaneously.
Therefore the AP /FD pitch modes and A/THR mode are coordinated as follows:
‐ If an AP /FD pitch mode controls a vertical trajectory, the A/THR mode controls the target
SPD/MACH.
‐ If an AP /FD pitch mode controls a target SPD or MACH, the A/THR mode controls the thrust.
‐ If no AP /FD pitch mode is engaged, the A/THR mode reverts to controlling the SPD/MACH mode.
In other words, the selection of an AP /FD pitch mode determines which mode the A/THR controls.

The Flight Director (FD ) displays guidance commands from the Flight Management and Guidance
Computer (FMGC ) on the Primary Flight Display (PFD).
The flight crew may manually fly the aircraft, following FMGC guidance commands, or crosscheck
the FMGC orders when the autopilot is engaged.
In normal operations, FD 1 displays FMGC 1 orders on the PFD 1 and FD 2 displays FMGC 2 orders
on the PFD2.
The FD s use their respective onside FMGCs.
On the PFD:
1. The FD pitch and roll crossbars show pitch and roll demands.
2. Below 30 ft during landing and takeoff, when a localizer is available, the vertical bar is replaced by
a yaw bar that gives lateral orders.
3. The Flight Path Director (FPD ) symbol relates to the Flight Path Vector (FPV).
The HDG V/S – TRK FPA pb on the FCU enables the flight crew to select either type of reference
and display.
The FD pb on the Electronic Flight Instrument System (EFIS ) control panel allows the FD bars to be
displayed or removed.
FD BARS (HDG V/S SELECTED ON THE FCU)
‐ The pitch bar is displayed if a vertical mode is engaged. It gives pitch orders for the vertical

‐ Nose wheel position.
AP ENGAGEMENT
Ident.: DSC-22_30-30-00011817.0014001 / 16 MAR 11
Applicable to: ALL
The flight crew can engage AP 1 or AP 2 by pressing the corresponding pushbutton on the FCU if
the aircraft has been airborne for at least 5 s.
When one AP is engaged, the corresponding FCU pushbutton comes on and AP 1 (or 2) is displayed
on the FMAs.
In BACK–UP NAV , AP can be engaged in selected modes if the FG part is available.
‐ One AP can be engaged on ground if the engines are not running. It disengages when one engine
is started.
‐ Two AP s may be engaged at a time (AP 1 active, AP2 in standby), when the localizer/glide-slope
or roll out or go-around mode is armed or engaged.
Only one AP can be engaged at a time in all other cases.
‐ If one AP pb is set to ON with both FD s OFF, the AP engages in HDG V/S or TRK FPA mode,
depending upon which mode the flight crew has selected on the FCU.
‐ If one AP pb is set to ON with at least one FD already ON, the AP engages in the current active
FD modes.
‐ At takeoff, the AP cannot be engaged below 100 ft.
AP engagement increases the break out force on the sidestick controllers and on the rudder pedals.
AP engagement is indicated by the lighting of the corresponding FCU pushbutton and by the
appearance of AP 1 (or 2) on the PFD ’s FMA.

Applicable to: ALL
In flight, either the AP /FD pitch control, or autothrust may acquire and hold a target speed or Mach
number, depending on the engaged modes.
Speed control is:
‐ Managed when the target comes from the FMGS
‐ Selected when the target comes from the SPD /MACH FCU window.
MANAGED SPEED/MACH TARGET
Ident.: DSC-22_30-40-00011894.0001001 / 01 DEC 14
Applicable to: ALL
When the speed target is managed, the SPD /MACH window of the FCU shows dashes, and the
corresponding dot is lighted. The PFD speed scale shows the speed target in magenta.
ENGAGEMENT CONDITIONS
The SPD target is managed, whenever AP or FD is engaged, and one of the following occurs:
‐ The flight crew pushes in the SPD/MACH knob
‐ EXPEDITE mode is engaged
‐ V2 is inserted in the MCDU
‐ The speed reference system (SRS) is engaged (takeoff or go-around mode).
Note: At takeoff, SRS will not engage if V2 is not available.
DISENGAGEMENT CONDITIONS
Managed speed disengages any time the flight crew selects a speed target on the FCU, or if the
speed was preselected.
SPEED PROFILE
The form of the managed SPD profile depends on the lateral NAV mode.
If NAV mode is engaged, the SPD profile takes into account all the constraints linked to
the flight plan.
The SPD profile is:
V2 - SPD LIM - SPD CSTR (if applicable) - ECON CLB SPD /MACH - ECON CRZ MACH
- ECON or preset DES MACH/SPD -SPD LIM - SPD CSTR (if applicable) - HOLD SPD (if
applicable) - VAPP.
If NAV mode is not engaged, the SPD/MACH constraints are not considered.
The SPD profile is:

V2 - SPD LIM - ECON CLB SPD /MACH - ECON CRZ MACH - ECON or preset DES
MACH/SPD - SPD LIM - VAPP.
Note: 1. When both AP /FD s are OFF, A/THR reverts to selected SPEED mode, except when
the approach phase is activated on MCDU where both managed and selected SPD
are available.
2. When expedite mode is engaged, the system disregards SPD LIM and SPD CSTR no
matter what lateral mode is engaged.
3. The managed speed/Mach target may be set below maneuvering speed but as long as
the speed target is managed, the FMGS limits the aircraft to the maneuvering speed of
the current slats/flaps configuration (VAPP , F , S, Green Dot).
4. If the managed speed/Mach target is set above VMAX (VFE , VMO , MMO ), the
FMGS automatically limits the speed to VMAX.
5. If a SPD/MACH constraint has already been taken into account, it remains applied
(until a more restrictive constraint applies).
MINI GROUND SPEED
In approach phase, the managed speed target is the Mini Ground Speed target computed by the
Flight Guidance (FG ) part of the FMGS. Refer to DSC-22_30-90 General for details.
SELECTED SPEED/MACH TARGET
Ident.: DSC-22_30-40-00011895.0002001 / 17 AUG 10
Applicable to: ALL
To use a selected speed/Mach target, the flight crew uses the knob on the FCU to set the target
speed, which is then displayed in the FCU window. It is also displayed in blue on the PFD speed
scale.
Note: The selected speed/Mach target may be set beyond VLS or VMAX , but when autothrust is
active, the guidance limits the speed to VLS or VMAX.
Selected speed has priority over managed speed. The only automatic change-over from selected to
managed speed target may occur at go-around mode engagement.
In flight, if the situation calls for managed speed, both the PFD and the MCDU display a message
proposing a manual change to managed speed (for example, SET MANAGED SPEED, SET HOLD
SPEED, or SET GREEN DOT SPEED).
ENGAGEMENT CONDITIONS
The aircraft has a selected speed target under any one of the following conditions:
‐ The flight crew pulls out the SPD/MACH knob (5 s after lift-off)
‐ Both AP /FD s are OFF (except in APPR phase)
‐ The FM speed target is lost (except in SRS , G/S, LAND, and GO AROUND modes)

‐ The MCDU has a preselected speed for the next phase, and the aircraft transitions into that
phase
‐ The FMGC is powered up in flight.
DISENGAGEMENT CONDITIONS
The selected speed target disengages:
‐ When the managed SPD engages
‐ When the aircraft is on ground at engine start.
Note: With engines running, the flight crew can select a speed on the FCU only after takeoff.
AUTO SPD
Ident.: DSC-22_30-40-00011896.0001001 / 17 AUG 10
Applicable to: ALL
The flight crew may insert the AUTO SPD (speed or Mach) on the PERF DES page to replace the
ECON DES SPD.
In this case, the managed speed profile takes into account the selected value. The top of descent
and the descent path are computed on AUTO SPD assumption.
SPEED/MACH SWITCHING
Ident.: DSC-22_30-40-00011897.0001001 / 16 MAR 11
Applicable to: ALL
In managed speed, at the crossover altitude, the FMGC automatically changes the managed speed
target to the corresponding MACH target. The FCU displays the Mach number corresponding to the
speed at the switching altitude.
Note: When the speed is selected, the flight crew has to perform the switching manually by
pressing the SPD/MACH pb on the FCU . The FCU then displays the aircraft Mach number.

of the ECON MACH value.
MANAGED SPEED TARGET MEMORIZATION
Ident.: DSC-22_30-40-00011898.0001001 / 13 JAN 14
Applicable to: ALL
A dual FM failure has different consequences when it occurs in different phases of the flight.
The system handles target speed and SPD mode as follows:
‐ During approach with LOC and G/S engaged and radio height < 700 ft, the target speed is set to
VAPP as previously memorized, and managed SPD target is maintained.
‐ At go-around, the target speed becomes the memorized go-around speed, which is the higher of
VAPP or the speed when go-around was initiated. Managed SPD target is maintained.
‐ In all other cases, managed target speed reverts to selected, the value being the speed at the
moment of the failure.
SPEED/MACH FCU WINDOW SYNCHRONIZATION
Ident.: DSC-22_30-40-00011899.0001001 / 17 AUG 10
Applicable to: ALL
When the target SPD is managed, the SPD /MACH display of the FCU shows dashes.
However, the window displays the target SPD or MACH in the following situations:
‐ The flight crew turns the SPD/MACH knob.
If the flight crew does not pull the knob within 10 s after turning it, the selection reverts to dashes.
‐ The flight crew manually engages a selected SPD target.
‐ If the flight crew has manually preselected a speed or Mach number for the next phase on the
MCDU PERF page, that preselected SPD /MACH engages when the aircraft enters that phase
and the FCU window then displays as the target the preselected speed or Mach.
‐ If the FMGS is powered up in flight, the synchronized speed/Mach value is the current aircraft
speed or Mach number.
‐ If no V2 is entered at takeoff, the V/S mode engages 5 s after lift-off (no speed reference system).
The FCU speed target is the speed at V/S mode engagement. (A/THR becomes active when the
thrust levers are set in the active range).

HEADING OR TRACK: HDG - TRK
Ident.: DSC-22_30-60-00012328.0001001 / 17 AUG 10
Applicable to: ALL
These modes guide the aircraft laterally along a heading or track selected by the flight crew. The
HDG /TRK window of the FCU displays the target heading or track. The flight crew uses the HDG
V/S -TRK FPA pb to select heading or track.
ENGAGEMENT CONDITIONS
HDG or TRK is engaged when one of the following conditions is met:
‐ The flight crew pulls out the HDG/TRK knob (not sooner than 5 s after lift-off)
‐ NAV is disengaged, either by the loss of the lateral flight plan or by the flight crew entering a
flight plan discontinuity
‐ FINAL mode (armed or engaged) is lost when the aircraft is in APP NAV mode
‐ LOC or LOC* mode is lost
‐ The flight crew engages the AP /FD with no other mode already engaged (basic mode of AP
/FD engagement)
‐ LOC mode is armed when APP NAV FINAL were previously engaged.
DISENGAGEMENT CONDITIONS
The engagement of any other lateral mode disengages HDG or TRK.
SYNCHRONIZING THE HDG /TRK WINDOW OF THE FCU
The lateral window of the FCU displays a heading or a track value when:
‐ The HDG /TRK mode is engaged. The displayed value is the current HDG /TRK or the manually
selected value of the target
‐ The flight crew turns the HDG/TRK knob. The value in the window first synchronizes with the
current HDG /TRK , then displays the manual selection. It remains displayed for 10 s or 45 s
depending upon FCU standard, then vanishes if the flight crew does not pull the knob (except in
HDG preset)
‐ A HDG /TRK is preset (Refer to DSC-22_30-60 HDG/TRK Preset)
‐ AP /FD is lost. The value becomes that of the aircraft current heading or track.
Note: If HDG is switched to TRK (or vice versa), the value displayed in the window switches
from heading to track (or vice versa).
HDG/TRK PRESET
Ident.: DSC-22_30-60-00012329.0001001 / 17 AUG 10

If the flight crew chooses not to fly the flight plan after takeoff or go-around, they may preset a HDG
or a TRK on the FCU by turning the HDG/TRK knob. The value they set remains displayed in the
FCU HDG /TRK window until they pull the knob.
OPERATION AT TAKEOFF
HDG /TRK preset is available before takeoff and up to 30 ft RA . Turning the HDG/TRK knob
before 30 ft sets the desired HDG /TRK. As a consequence:
‐ NAV is disarmed
‐ At 30 ft, RWY TRK is annunciated until the HDG/TRK knob is pulled.
OPERATION AT GO-AROUND
Whenever the LOC *, LOC , LAND, FINAL APP, or GA modes are engaged, the HDG preset is
available. If the flight crew rotates the HDG/TRK knob to set the value, it will remain displayed in
the window. Pull out the HDG/TRK knob to activate the mode and turn the aircraft to the preset
value.
CANCELLATION
The flight crew can cancel a preset HDG /TRK by:
‐ Engaging the NAV mode using the DIR TO
‐ Pushing in the HDG/TRK knob (arming NAV mode)
‐ Disengaging AP /FD.
NAVIGATION (NAV)
Ident.: DSC-22_30-60-00012330.0002001 / 23 JUN 15
Applicable to: ALL
NAV mode is a managed mode that steers the aircraft laterally along the flight plan defined in the
FMGS . It is designed to have a zero cross-track error. The flight crew can arm or engage the NAV
mode if the MCDU contains a lateral flight plan.
ARMING CONDITIONS
Satisfying one of the following conditions arms NAV:
‐ The aircraft is on ground with no HDG /TRK preset and no other lateral mode except runway
mode
‐ The flight crew pushes in the HDG/TRK knob, unless the LOC mode is engaged
‐ The flight crew presses the APPR pb, if a non-ILS approach is selected.
DISARMING CONDITIONS
NAV mode disarms if one of the following occurs:
‐ The flight crew pulls out the HDG/TRK knob
‐ The flight crew selects a preset HDG /TRK (TO or GA)

‐ When the flight crew pushes in the HDG/TRK knob when the aircraft is close to (within ∼1 NM
of) the active flight plan leg
‐ Automatically in flight when NAV is armed and the aircraft reaches the capture zone for the
active flight plan leg.
CAUTION When NAV is armed, it will automatically engage if:
‐ The aircraft track line intercepts the flight plan before the TO waypoint, and
‐ The intercept waypoint (INTCP) is displayed on the ND, and
‐ The aircraft reaches the active flight plan leg.
Note: The TO waypoint is displayed in white on ND s and MCDUs.

DISENGAGEMENT CONDITIONS
The NAV mode disengages when:
‐ Any other lateral mode is engaged
‐ The flight plan is lost or the aircraft enters a flight plan discontinuity.
INTERACTIONS WITH VERTICAL MODES
When NAV mode is engaged, the vertical managed modes CLB or DES or FINAL take into
account altitude and speed constraints linked to waypoints on the lateral flight plan. If NAV mode
is disengaged, the vertical managed modes are not available and all downpath altitude and speed
constraints are ignored.
LOCALIZER MODE THROUGH THE LOC PUSHBUTTON
Ident.: DSC-22_30-60-00012331.0001001 / 17 AUG 10
Applicable to: ALL
This mode captures and tracks a localizer beam independently of the glide path beam. Flight crew
use it to fly localizer-only approaches or to initiate an ILS approach when intercepting the glide slope
from above.
ARMING CONDITIONS
The flight crew arms the LOC mode by pressing the LOC pb, provided that:
‐ An ILS is tuned (frequency and runway course)
‐ The aircraft is above 400 ft RA
‐ TO or GA mode is not engaged.
DISARMING CONDITIONS
LOC mode is disarmed by:
‐ Pressing the LOC pb when LOC is armed
‐ Arming the NAV mode
‐ Engaging the GA mode.
Note: Engaging NAV mode by selecting DIR TO does not disarm the LOC mode.
ENGAGEMENT CONDITIONS
The LOC mode engages automatically when capture conditions are met.

Climb mode gives the aircraft managed vertical guidance to the FCU selected altitude. It meets
altitude constraints at waypoints either with managed speed incorporating speed constraints or with
selected speed as target speed. The AP /FD pitch controls the speed or Mach number target and the
A/THR is in thrust mode (CLB) corresponding to maximum climb thrust. The flight path may include
several segments.

‐ When CLB mode is engaged, the system arms ALT and displays the applicable target altitude on
the ALT scale.
• If the next predicted level-off is an ALT CSTR , ALT is magenta on the FMA and the ALT CSTR
is displayed in magenta on the altitude scale
• If the next predicted level-off is the FCU altitude, ALT is blue on the FMA and the FCU selected
altitude is displayed in blue on the altitude scale.
Note: The system takes into account all constraints defined by the database or manually
entered by the flight crew. Nevertheless this mode has the following particularity: When
the aircraft is in CLB mode and the system predicts that it will miss an altitude constraint,
it will not modify the target speed in an attempt to meet it. In this case, the flight crew
may select an appropriate speed in order to meet the ALT CSTR.
‐ The guidance does not modify the target speed in order to satisfy an altitude constraint. Therefore
the constraint may not be met and may be predicted as missed
‐ When the aircraft levels off at the ALT CSTR , CLB mode arms automatically, then engages when
the aircraft passes the constrained waypoint (if the FCU altitude is above the constraint altitude).

Applicable to: ALL
The DES mode guides the aircraft along the descent path computed by the FMGS . The system
computes this flight path backwards from the deceleration point up to the top of descent (T/D ),
with respect to the speed and altitude constraints at the deceleration point, the guidance begins the
deceleration to VAPP, to be reached at 1 000 ft above touchdown on the final descent path.
Internally, the computer divides the descent path into various segments, depending on the relative
positions of the constraints. It starts at top of descent (T/D) by setting up an “idle” segment that
takes the aircraft down to the first constraint, and follows this with “geometric” segments between
constraints.
The descent profile takes into account wind data and data from the lateral and vertical flight plans,
and it is based upon the managed descent speed profile. It does not take holding patterns into
consideration.
The descent profile has several segments:
‐ A repressurization segment. When necessary, this produces a repressurization rate for the cabin
during descent. It is a function of the destination airport altitude and the selected cabin rate
(defaulted to -350 ft/min but this can be modified)
‐ Idle path segment. The AP /FD controls the speed and the autothrust stays at idle thrust. The
guidance computes this profile from the top of descent or the end of the repressurization segment
to the first vertical constraint that cannot be flown at idle thrust
‐ Geometric path segments. The AP /FD controls the vertical path, and autothrust controls the
speed. These segments take the aircraft from the first constraint to the deceleration point.

Ident.: DSC-22_30-70-50-00010559.0002001 / 14 MAY 12
Applicable to: ALL
The top of descent (T/D) may be updated if the flight crew modifies the cabin rate of descent (default
rate is -350 ft/min).
If the flight crew enters a lower cabin rate, the system computes a repressurization segment that
takes into account the additional time needed for repressurization.

The descent speed profile is usually the ECON SPD profile, amended by any speed constraints and
speed limit contained in the flight plan.
Before the descent phase is active, if flight crew does not intend to fly the ECON speed/Mach profile,
a different speed or Mach can be entered to amend the speed profile.
It is obtained by entering a Mach number and/or a speed in the MANAGED field of the PERF DES
MCDU page (3L key).

DESCENT INITIATION
The aircraft will not start its descent automatically when reaching the top of descent (T/D). In order
to initiate the descent, the flight crew sets the clearance altitude by turning the ALT knob then
pushes the ALT knob.
The aircraft will descend immediately:
‐ If the top of descent is not reached, the aircraft descends at a constant V/S converging on the
descent path
‐ If the aircraft is at or beyond the T/D, it descends at idle thrust.

DURING THE DESCENT
The flight crew will see a vertical deviation symbol (VDEV ) along the ALT scale on the PFD and a
VDEV value on the PROG page, so that the aircraft’s vertical position can be monitored versus the
calculated descent profile.
The aircraft may deviate from the DES profile while DES mode is engaged if:
‐ Unexpected wind conditions are encountered
‐ Anti-icing is turned on
‐ The lateral flight plan is changed.
When the speed is managed, a target speed range displayed on the PFD defines acceptable
speed variations around the nominal descent speed target.

AIRCRAFT ABOVE THE DESCENT PROFILE
If the aircraft is above the descent profile, the speed will increase toward the upper limit of the
managed speed range. If the speed reaches the upper limit, the aircraft will maintain the speed but
will deviate from the profile (autothrust at idle).
The navigation display presents a pseudo waypoint (intercept point) along the flight plan that
assumes the aircraft will return to the profile using:
‐ Idle thrust
‐ 1/2 speedbrake extension
‐ ECON speed plus a margin (until intercepting the profile).
If necessary, the message “AIRBRAKES” (old FMGC standard) or “MORE DRAG” comes up on
the PFD and the MCDU, and remains there as long as more drag (speedbrakes) is still required.
The flight crew should respond to this message by deploying half speedbrakes.
Whenever the intercept point is predicted to be close to a constrained waypoint, the PFD and
MCDU display an “AIRBRAKES” or “MORE DRAG” message depending upon the FMGS
standard.
Note: With DES mode engaged, the speedbrakes extension will not necessarily increase the
descent rate. It increases only if the aircraft is above path.

AIRCRAFT BELOW THE DESCENT PROFILE
If the aircraft is below the descent profile, its speed will be maintained at target speed until it
reaches the descent profile. The lower margin becomes effective when the aircraft is on the
descent profile but has to loose speed in order to stay on it.
The intercept point on the navigation display is based on the following assumptions:
If the aircraft is flying at an altitude that is higher than both the descent speed limit
altitude and the destination elevation +5 000 ft:
The FMGS maintains the V/S at -1 000 ft/min and the target speed, until the aircraft reaches
the altitude constraint, or intercepts the descent profile.
If the aircraft is flying at an altitude that is lower than either the descent speed limit
altitude, or the destination elevation +5 000 ft:
The FMGS maintains the V/S at -500 ft/min and the target speed, until the aircraft reaches the
altitude constraint or intercepts the descent profile.

LEVELING OFF AT A CONSTRAINT
If the aircraft levels off at an ALT CSTR , the DES mode arms and remains armed until the
aircraft passes the constraint, then reengages (if the FCU altitude is set below the altitude of the
constraint).
If the FCU selected altitude is that of a constraint, the flight crew may continue the descent below
that altitude by turning the ALT knob and pushing it in. This arms the DES mode, which reengages
when the aircraft passes the constraint waypoint.
Ident.: DSC-22_30-70-50-B-00010573.0002001 / 17 AUG 10
GUIDANCE IN A HOLD
Just before the aircraft enters a holding pattern, the speed target becomes the holding speed.
In the holding pattern, the DES mode commands V/S = -1 000 ft/min while A/THR maintains the
holding speed. The aircraft will level off at the next altitude constraint if it is reached during the
hold.
The current vertical deviation VDEV is based on the altitude at which the aircraft is supposed to
cross the exit fix in order to be properly positioned on the descent profile.
Until the flight crew exits the hold, the FMGS in DES mode will maintain V/S = -1 000 ft/min
considering downpath vertical constraint. This means that the aircraft will not descent below the
next altitude constraint, neither the FCU selected altitude. If the aircraft reaches the next altitude
constraint it will level off and ALT CST mode will engage.

Note: ‐ If the baro setting is changed during ALT * mode, this may lead to an FCU target
overshoot due to the change of the current value of the altitude. However ALT * mode
will allow the FCU altitude to be regained.
‐ For aircraft equipped with QFE option, a switching from STD to QFE (or vice versa) in
ALT CST* mode, will change the target value and a reversion to V/S may occur if the
target value is modified of 250 ft or more.

The ALT mode maintains a target altitude. This target altitude is either the FCU selected altitude or
an altitude constraint delivered by Flight Management.
ARMING CONDITIONS
Ident.: DSC-22_30-70-70-00010585.0001001 / 17 AUG 10
Applicable to: ALL
The ALT mode arms automatically whenever the aircraft climbs or descends toward the target
altitude.
Note: The ALT mode arms only if the difference between the current altitude and the FCU
selected altitude is at least 250 ft.
When ALT is armed, the FMA displays the ALT message on its second line:
‐ Blue when the target altitude is the FCU selected altitude
‐ Magenta if the target altitude is an altitude constraint.
ENGAGEMENT CONDITIONS
Ident.: DSC-22_30-70-70-00010586.0002001 / 17 AUG 10
Applicable to: ALL
The ALT mode is engaged automatically when the difference between present altitude and the target
altitude becomes less than 20 ft with ALT* engaged.
Note: The ALT mode is displayed on the FMA when the V/S knob is pushed in or is pulled out
with V/S -FPA target set to zero but V/S mode is still active. In other words, if V/S knob is
dialled up or down, the aircraft will climb or descend without any pulling action.
DISENGAGEMENT CONDITIONS
Ident.: DSC-22_30-70-70-00010587.0001001 / 17 AUG 10

‐ The altitude that ALT mode holds is the altitude it memorized when engaged. It is not affected by a
change of reference in the ALT window or by a change in the barometric correction.
‐ When ALT is engaged, the FMA displays ALT in green (FCU altitude hold) or ALT CST in green if
it is an altitude constraint.
‐ If the AP is engaged while FD is already engaged in ALT mode at the FCU selected altitude, the
autopilot:
• Acquires and holds the FCU altitude if present altitude is within 250 ft of it, or
• Commands a level-off if present altitude is more than 250 ft from the FCU altitude.
SOFT ALTITUDE MODE (CRUISE)
Ident.: DSC-22_30-70-70-00010589.0002001 / 19 DEC 12
Applicable to: ALL
The soft altitude mode engages when the aircraft reaches the FCU altitude set as the cruise flight
level (entered in the F-PLN or on PROG page).
The soft altitude mode corrects minor deviations from the Mach target by allowing a ±50 ft variation
from the CRZ FL. This feature improves fuel efficiency and passenger comfort and minimizes the
changes in thrust.

GUIDANCE
Ident.: DSC-22_30-70-80-00010593.0009001 / 04 JUL 17
Applicable to: ALL
The FMGC pitch mode guides the aircraft to the target V/S or FPA . The corresponding A/THR mode
is SPEED or MACH. The FMA displays V/S (FPA).
The V/S (FPA ) guidance has priority over the speed guidance. If the selected target V/S or FPA is
too high (relative to the current thrust condition and speed), the FMGC will steer the aircraft to the
target V/S or FPA, but the aircraft will also accelerate or decelerate.
When the speed reaches its authorized limit, V/S or FPA automatically decreases to maintain the
minimum (or maximum) speed limit.
Note: If the flight crew sets V/S = 0 or pushes the V/S or FPA knob to level off, it automatically
sets V/S or FPA target to zero and the aircraft levels off and maintains its altitude.
Note: If AP is engaged while a V/S is selected with only FD ON, the V/S will synchronise on the
current aircraft V/S.

Mode reversions are automatic mode changes that unexpectedly occur, but are designed to ensure
coherent AP , FD and A/THR operations, in conjunction with flight crew input (or when entering a
F-PLN discontinuity).
Due to the unexpected nature of their occurrence, the FMA should be closely monitored for mode
reversions.
INTERACTION BETWEEN LATERAL MODES,
VERTICAL MODES, AND MANAGED SPEED PROFILE
Ident.: DSC-22_30-75-00012054.0006001 / 17 MAR 17
Applicable to: ALL
When NAV mode is engaged:
The FMGS guides the aircraft along the flight plan and considers the constraints attached to the
F-PLN waypoints. As a result:
‐ Managed CLB and DES modes are available
‐ The managed speed profile includes: V2 - SPD CSTR (if applicable) - SPD LIM - ECON CLB
SPD /MACH - ECON CRZ MACH - ECON DES (MANAGED SPD ) - SPD /MACH - SPD
CSTR - SPD LIM - HOLD SPD - VAPP /GS MIN.
It is valid for all vertical modes, except EXPEDITE .
When NAV mode is not engaged:
The FMGS considers that the flight plan is not followed, and ignores all speed and altitude
constraints linked to the F-PLN waypoints. As a result:
‐ The managed vertical CLB and DES modes are not available
‐ The managed SPD profile disregards the speed constraints and includes: V2 - SPD LIM -
ECON CLB - ECON CRZ - ECON DES (MANAGED SPD ) - SPD LIM - VAPP /GS MIN target.

As a consequence, when NAV mode disengages (manual or automatic):
‐ CLB mode, when engaged, reverts to OPEN CLB. The lateral mode is boxed white for 10 s. The
vertical mode is boxed white.
If within 5 s, the disengagement of the NAV mode is not confirmed by one of the following flight
crew actions:
• FCU altitude change
• Level-off
• Selection of the V/S mode
then, a triple click aural warning sounds. In addition, a white box flashes around the vertical mode
for additional 10 s.
‐ DES mode, when engaged, reverts to V/S mode on current value.
If within 5 s, the disengagement of the NAV mode is not confirmed by one of the following flight
crew actions:
• FCU altitude change
• Level-off
• Selection of the V/S mode
then, a triple click aural warning sounds. In addition, a white box flashes around the vertical mode
for additional 10 s.
This reversion to V/S (FPA ) mode on the current V/S target does not modify the pitch behavior of
the aircraft. It is the flight crew's responsibility to adapt pitch, if necessary.
‐ Speed and altitude constraints are disregarded (but speed limit is retained).
MODE REVERSION DUE TO FCU ALTITUDE CHANGE
Ident.: DSC-22_30-75-00012053.0006001 / 01 OCT 12
Applicable to: ALL
When an OPEN mode is engaged, the aircraft climbs or descends towards the altitude set on the
FCU . If the flight crew sets the FCU altitude to a target not compatible with the active open mode, a
mode reversion occurs and V/S (or FPA ) engages on current V/S (or FPA).
This reversion applies to CLB , OP CLB , DES , OP DES, EXP DES , EXP CLB .
Example: Reversion from OP CLB to V/S:

If the airspeed reaches VLS -2, both FD s disengage. (If speedbrakes are extended, the FD s
disengage between VLS -2 and VLS-19, depending on the position of the speedbrakes).
The A/THR , if active, reverts to SPEED mode upon FDs disengagement, and increases thrust to

These modes are called “common” because they are related to both the lateral and the vertical axes.
The AP /FD common modes are:
‐ On takeoff: Runway/Runway track associated to SRS vertical modes
‐ In approach: ILS approach (LAND) or non-ILS approach (APP NAV FINAL)
‐ In go around: Go around track associated to SRS vertical modes.
These modes are engaged simultaneously on both axes.

Ident.: DSC-22_30-80-20-A-00012259.0011001 / 16 MAR 11
GUIDANCE
In SRS mode, the aircraft maintains a speed target equal to V2 +10 kt in normal engine
configuration. When the FMGS detects an engine failure, the speed target becomes the highest of
V2 or current speed, limited by V2+15 kt.
The SRS guidance law also includes:
‐ Attitude protection to reduce aircraft nose-up effect during takeoff (18 ° or 22.5 ° maximum in
case of windshear)
‐ Flight path angle protection that ensures a minimum vertical speed of 120 ft/min
‐ A speed protection limiting the target speed to V2+15 kt.
Note: If during takeoff the flight crew inadvertently sets an altitude on the FCU below the
current altitude, the aircraft will remain in SRS mode until the flight crew takes some
other action.
RUNWAY (RWY)
Applicable to: ALL
Ident.: DSC-22_30-80-20-B-00012255.0001001 / 17 AUG 10
GENERAL
The RUNWAY mode has two submodes:
‐ RWY mode, which gives lateral guidance orders during takeoff roll and initial climb out (up to
30 ft RA ) if a LOC signal is available
‐ RWY TRK mode, which gives lateral guidance on the track the aircraft was flying at mode
engagement (at 30 ft RA).

The aircraft can fly different types of approaches:
‐ Precision approaches: ILS, MLS
‐ Non-precision approaches: VOR /DME , VOR , NDB (if ADF ), RNAV
‐ Non-precision approaches using a Localizer only: LOC.
The flight crew uses an ARRIVAL lateral revision to insert these approaches into the flight plan:
‐ For precision approaches, the flight crew uses the APPR pb on the FCU to arm or engage the
LOC and G/S guidance modes
‐ For non-precision approaches, the flight crew uses the APPR pb on the FCU to arm or engage
the APP NAV and FINAL guidance modes, except for LOC approaches, where the flight crew only
uses the LOC pb to arm or engage the LOC mode.

ENGAGEMENT CONDITIONS OF LOC AND G/S MODES
When ILS capture conditions are fulfilled:
‐ LOC* mode engages, and
‐ G/S * mode engages. No radio altimeter validity is required with this FMGC standard for G/S
engagement. The FMA displays “LOC *”, or “G/S*”, or both, in green.
Nevertheless, the G/S* mode cannot engage, if:
‐ LOC* mode is not engaged, or
‐ The aircraft is above the glide path and its trajectory does not cross the ILS G/S beam.
When the aircraft is established on the LOC axis, the LOC mode engages.
When the aircraft is established on the G/S axis, the G/S mode engages.
The FMA displays “LOC ” and “G/S ” in green. The AP /FD guides the aircraft along the G/S
down to 30 ft, and along the LOC during the flare and rollout.
Note: G/S * or G/S modes may be engaged above the operating range of the radio altimeters
(8 000 ft for TRT, and 5 000 ft for Collins and Honeywell radio altimeters). The landing
capability displayed on the FMA will reflect the lack of RA validity (CAT 1) until the
radio altimeters become active.
But, if the radio altimeters fail, or if the FMGS receives no radio altimeter data, LOC ,
G/S , and AP /FD s will disengage and FDs will re-engage on basic modes.
DISENGAGEMENT CONDITIONS OF LOC AND G/S MODES
If the aircraft is above 400 ft, the ILS APPR mode disengages when the flight crew:
‐ Presses the APPR pb, HDG V/S or TRK FPA engages
‐ Presses the LOC pb, the LOC mode remains engaged. The system reverts to V/S (FPA ), if
G/S was engaged
‐ Pulls out the HDG/TRK knob, HDG V/S or TRK FPA engages
‐ Engages the go-around mode
‐ When the LOC or G/S signal has been lost for 7 s or more above 200 ft RA . AP /FD s
disengage and FD s reengage in basic modes (HDG V/S or TRK FPA).
DISENGAGEMENT CONDITIONS OF G/S ONLY
‐ The flight crew pulls out the V/S or FPA knob. LOC mode remains engaged, but G/S mode
disengages and V/S or FPA engages.
‐ The flight crew pushes or pulls the ALT knob. LOC mode remains engaged, and the mode
selected by the flight crew engages, as a function of the FCU selected altitude.
LOC CONVERGENCE FUNCTION
The aim of the LOC Convergence function is to help the aircraft intercept and capture the LOC
axis.

The aircraft is guided with a converging track of 20 ° from the LOC axis, when all the following
conditions are met:
‐ NAV mode is engaged, and LOC mode is armed
‐ The aircraft is within 20 NM of the destination runway
‐ The difference between the aircraft track and the QFU is less than 20 °.
ENHANCED LOC CAPTURE FUNCTION
The Enhanced LOC Capture function enhances the performance of the LOC capture and helps
the aircraft to capture the LOC beam without overshoot.
Pre-Capture of the LOC Beam
The pre-capture of the LOC beam aims to begin the LOC beam capture sooner.
LOC * mode may engage when LOC mode is armed and when the aircraft reaches the LOC
pre-capture zone. The LOC pre-capture zone is a geographical zone around LOC beam
where it is possible to guide the aircraft toward the LOC beam, with the help of FMS position
data. To ensure the capture of the LOC beam, the aircraft is guided with a 15 ° convergence
angle with respect to runway QFU.
The LOC* mode engagement in the pre-capture zone is possible, when :
‐ The LOC deviation is more than 2.3 dots
‐ The FMS is in GPS PRIMARY
‐ The difference between the track and the QFU is between 25 ° and 115 °
‐ The guidance roll order is such that LOC * will capture the LOC beam without overshoot.
When the LOC deviation becomes lower than 2.3 dots, LOC * mode no longer uses the FMS
position data for guidance, but the actual LOC beam deviation to complete the capture of the
axis.
Capture of the LOC Beam
Current conditions of LOC beam capture in the capture zone remain the same. This means
that if approach conditions of the aircraft (interception angle, speed) do not need activation of
the capture assistance, the LOC beam capture will occur as usual based on LOC deviation,
aircraft track and guidance roll order conditions.

Note: On the PFD and on the ND , the flight crew will observe movement of the LOC
deviation toward the center of the scale, only when the LOC deviation is less than 2
dots. This occurs when the aircraft is in the capture zone.
When the ILS frequency or the ILS ident entered on the RAD NAV page differs from the ILS
of the destination runway entered in the Flight Plan :
‐ The aircraft loses the LOC capture assistance function
‐ The “RWY/LS MISMATCH” message is displayed on the scratchpad
‐ The flight crew should select HDG mode to perform the LOC capture.
Note: There is no glideslope capture assistance. The flight crew shall ensure that the
aircraft flight path intercepts the G/S beam.

FLARE MODE
Once the aircraft reaches approximately 40 ft RA (the precise value is a function of V/S):
‐ The FLARE mode engages
‐ The FMA displays “FLARE” in green.
At 30 ft RA , the AP /FD aligns the yaw axis with the runway centerline and the aircraft flares
on the pitch axis. If the autothrust is active, thrust is automatically reduced to IDLE (Refer to
DSC-22_30-90 A/THR Modes - RETARD Mode).
When both AP /FDs are disengaged, FLARE mode disengages.
After main landing gear touchdown, the autopilot (if engaged) sends a nose down order.

The autothrust, when active, controls speed. The approach speed target (VAPP ) is either managed
by the FMGS or selected by the flight crew:
‐ When managed, the speed target is computed by the FMGS and may be modified by the flight
crew through the MCDU . At 700 ft RA , the current speed target value is memorized by the
autothrust, to ensure stabilized speed guidance, even if Flight Management fails. Below 700 ft, any
new VAPP or WIND entry in the MCDU has no effect on the speed target.
‐ When selected, the autothrust always targets the speed selected on the FCU.

The Final Descent Point is the waypoint from which starts the FMS segment with coded FPA . For
RNAV (RNP ) approaches, this point may be indicated on the chart as "VIP".
This point is defined in the Navigation Database by:
‐ A constant vertical flight path beyond this point,
‐ A coded altitude constraint that may be "at" or "at or above" (e.g. +3 000 ft). This constraint
is displayed on ND (in magenta), next to the corresponding waypoint, when the CSTR key is
selected on the EFIS Control Panel. It is also shown on the F-PLN page at this WPT.

Applicable to: ALL
The autothrust (A/THR ) is a function of the FMGS , it includes two independent A/THR commands,
one per FMGC . Each one is able to control the thrust of both engines simultaneously through two
Engine Interface Units and two Electronic Engine Controls (IAE engines) or two Engine Control Units
(CFM engines). Only one FMGC controls the active A/THR , it is called the master FMGC.
Thrust is controlled:
‐ Automatically when the A/THR is active
‐ Manually by the flight crew.
The autothrust is active when the A/THR pb of the FCU is lighted green and A/THR is displayed
white in the FMA 5th column.
The position of the thrust levers determines whether A/THR is armed, active, or disconnected.
The autothrust system, when active:
‐ Maintains a specific thrust in THRUST mode
‐ Controls the aircraft speed or Mach in SPEED/MACH mode
‐ Uses ALPHA FLOOR mode to set maximum thrust when the aircraft angle of attack exceeds a
specific threshold.
The autothrust system can operate independently or with the AP /FD:
‐ When performing alone, A/THR always controls the speed
‐ If the autothrust system is working with the AP /FD , the A/THR mode and AP /FD pitch modes are
linked together. Refer to DSC-22_30-10 Interaction between AP/FD and A/THR Modes.
When autothrust is active, the FMGS commands the thrust according to the vertical mode logic, but
uses a thrust not greater than the thrust commanded by the position of the thrust lever. For example,
when the thrust levers are set at the CL (climb) detent, FG can command thrust between idle and
max climb.
The autothrust system, when armed, automatically activates if the thrust levers are moved into the
active range sector. Outside of this range, thrust levers control thrust directly.

The flight crew uses the thrust levers to do the following:
‐ Manually select engine thrust
‐ Arm and activate autothrust (A/THR)
‐ Engage reverse thrust
‐ Engage the takeoff and go-around modes.
When autothrust is disconnected, the thrust levers control thrust directly: each lever position
corresponds to a given thrust.
Five detents divide each of the thrust lever sectors into four segments. The detents are:
TO GA : Max takeoff thrust
FLX MCT : Max continuous thrust (or FLX at takeoff)
CL : Maximum climb thrust
IDLE : Idle thrust for both forward and reverse thrust
MAX REV : Maximum reverse thrust

The flight crew arms A/THR:
‐ On ground
• By pushing the A/THR pb on the FCU when the engines are not running, or
• By setting the thrust levers at the FLX or TOGA detent when the engines are running.
‐ In flight
• By pushing the A/THR pb on the FCU while the thrust levers are out of the active range, or
• While A/THR is active (“A/THR ” white on the FMA ), by setting all thrust levers beyond the CL
detent or at least one lever above the MCT detent, or
• By engaging the go around mode.
When the A/THR is armed:
‐ The FCU’s A/THR pb light comes on
‐ “A/THR ” is displayed in blue on the FMA.
Note: At takeoff, if the thrust levers are set back to idle, the A/THR disengages and cannot be

EFFECTS OF THRUST LEVER MOVEMENT DURING A/THR ACTIVATION
While A/THR is active:
‐ When both thrust levers are set above the CL detent (both engines operative) or one thrust
lever is set above MCT (one engine operative), the A/THR reverts from active to armed. “A/THR
” turns to blue on the FMA and the thrust levers control thrust directly.
The FMA displays "MAN THR” in white in its first column.
The thrust levers provide the flight crew with an immediate increase of thrust when both thrust
levers are pushed above the CL detent (two engines) or the active thrust lever above the MCT
detent (one engine operative).
‐ When both thrust levers are set below the CL detent (both engines operative) or one thrust lever
is set below MCT (one engine operative), a repeating warning (amber caution, single chime,
“A/THR LIMITED” ECAM message) is activated every 5 s until the flight crew moves the lever
back into the detent. “LVR CLB ” (both engines operative) or “LVR MCT ” (one engine operative)
flashes white in the first column of the FMA.
This device reminds the flight crew that the normal operating position of the thrust levers, when
A/THR active, is the CL detent (two engines) or the MCT detent (one engine operative).
‐ When one thrust lever is in the CL detent and the other one out of detent, the “LVR ASYM”
amber message comes up until both levers are set in the CL detent (only with both engines
operative).

When the A/THR is disconnected, it is neither armed nor active.
The A/THR can be disconnected in two ways:
‐ Standard disconnection:
• The flight crew pushes the instinctive disconnect pb on the thrust levers, or
• The flight crew sets both thrust levers to IDLE detent.
‐ Non-standard disconnection:
• The flight crew pushes the A/THR pb on the FCU while A/THR is active/armed, or
• The system loses one of the arming conditions.

Ident.: DSC-22_30-90-C-00011965.0002001 / 23 JUN 15
GENERAL
Except in takeoff and go-around situations, normal operation of the A/THR system requires the
thrust levers to be:
‐ In the CL detent for the two-engine configuration. If they are not set in the CL detent, “LVR CLB
” flashes white on the FMA.
‐ In MCT detent when in the one-engine-out configuration. If the appropriate lever is not set in the
MCT detent, “LVR MCT ” flashes white on the FMA.
The A/THR modes are selected automatically in conjunction with the AP /FD modes (except for
ALPHA FLOOR):
A/THR in THRUST mode AP /FD pitch mode maintains the speed:
OP CLB - OP DES - CLB - EXP CLB - EXP DES - SRS - FLARE and
DES (IDLE path)
If neither AP nor FD is engagedA/THR in SPEED/MACH mode
If AP /FD controls a vertical path:
V/S - FPA - ALT * - ALT CST* - ALT - ALT CRZ - G/S * - G/S - FINAL and DES
(geometric path)
A/THR in RETARD mode AP /FD engaged in LAND mode during an automatic landing
Ident.: DSC-22_30-90-C-00011966.0002001 / 23 JUN 15
THRUST MODE
In THRUST mode, autothrust commands a specific thrust level in conjunction with the AP /FD
pitch mode. This thrust level is limited by thrust lever position.
FMA Display Meaning
THR MCT Single engine thrust in climb. The live engine is at maximum continuous thrust
(thrust lever in MCT detent)
THR CLB Climb thrust in two engine configuration (at least one thrust lever in the CL
detent, the other one below CL)
THR LVR Undetermined thrust (neither CLB nor MCT thrust)
THR IDLE Minimum thrust (both engines at IDLE thrust)
Note: When the A/THR is armed for takeoff or go-around, the FMA displays “MAN TOGA ” (or
“MAN FLX”) in white to remind the flight crew that the thrust levers have been positioned
properly.

RETARD MODE
The RETARD mode is only available during automatic landing (AP engaged in LAND mode).
At approximately 40 ft RA , the RETARD mode engages and remains engaged after touchdown.
The A/THR commands IDLE thrust during the flare, and the FMA and engine warning display
“IDLE”. If the autopilot is disengaged during the flare before touchdown, the SPEED mode
replaces the RETARD mode, and the flight crew has to manually reduce thrust.
Note: In an automatic landing, the system generates a “RETARD” callout at 10 ft RA , which
prompts the flight crew to move the thrust levers to IDLE in order to confirm thrust
reduction. In manual landing conditions, the system generates this callout at 20 ft RA, as
a reminder.
Ident.: DSC-22_30-90-C-00011968.0002001 / 17 AUG 10
ALPHA FLOOR
ALPHA FLOOR is a protection that commands TOGA thrust, regardless of the thrust levers’
positions. This protection is available from lift-off to 100 ft RA on approach.
ALPHA FLOOR calls up the following indications:
‐ “A FLOOR” in green, surrounded by a flashing amber box on the FMA, and in amber on the
engine warning display, (as long as α-floor conditions are met)
‐ “TOGA LK” in green, surrounded by a flashing amber box on the FMA , when the aircraft leaves
the α-floor conditions. TOGA thrust is frozen.
To cancel ALPHA FLOOR or TOGA LK thrust, the flight crew must disconnect the autothrust.
Ident.: DSC-22_30-90-C-00011969.0001001 / 17 AUG 10
SPEED/MACH MODE
In SPEED/MACH mode, the A/THR adjusts the thrust in order to acquire and hold a speed or
Mach target.
The speed or Mach target may be:
‐ Selected on the FCU by the flight crew
‐ Managed by the FMGC.
When in SPEED/MACH mode, the A/THR does not allow speed excursions beyond the following
limits, regardless of the target speed or Mach number:
‐ For a selected speed target, the limits are VLS and VMAX (VMO -MMO , VFE -VLE, whichever
applies)
‐ For a managed speed target, the limits are maneuvering speed (Green Dot, S , F , whichever
applies) and maximum speed (340/0.80-VFE -VLE, whichever applies).

APPROACH AUTOTHRUST:
Below 3 200 ft RA , with at least CONF 1, the A/THR logic is modified to be more responsive to
speed variation. This is referred to as approach autothrust.
SPEED MODE IN APPROACH PHASE
Applicable to: ALL
Ident.: DSC-22_30-90-D-00011970.0001001 / 17 AUG 10
GENERAL
When the aircraft flies an approach in managed speed, the speed target displayed on the PFD in
magenta is variable during the approach.
This managed speed target is computed in the FMGS using the “ground speed mini function”.
Ident.: DSC-22_30-90-D-00011971.0002001 / 17 MAR 17
GROUND SPEED MINI FUNCTION PRINCIPLE
The purpose of the "ground speed mini function" is to take advantage of the aircraft inertia when
the wind conditions vary during the approach. It does so by providing the flight crew with an
adequate indicated speed target. When the aircraft flies this indicated speed target, the energy of
the aircraft is maintained above a minimum level ensuring standard aerodynamic margins versus
stall.
If the A/THR is active in SPEED mode, it will automatically follow the IAS target, ensuring an
efficient thrust management during the approach.
The minimum energy level is the energy level the aircraft will have at touch down if it lands at
VAPP speed with the tower reported wind as inserted in the PERF APPR page.
The minimum energy level is represented by the Ground Speed the aircraft will have at touch
down. This Ground Speed is called “GROUND SPD MINI”.
During the approach, the FMGS continuously computes the speed target using the wind
experienced by the aircraft in order to keep the ground speed at or above the “Ground Speed
Mini”.
The ground speed mini enables an efficient management of the thrust in gusts or longitudinal
shears. Thrust varies in the right sense, but in a smaller range (± 15 % N1) in gusty situations,
which explains why it is recommended in such situations.
It provides additional but rational safety margins in shears.
It allows pilots "to understand what is going on" in perturbed approaches by monitoring the target
speed magenta bugs: when target goes up = head wind gust.

The speed target is displayed on the PFD speed scale in magenta when approach phase and
managed speed are active. It is independent of the AP /FD and/or A/THR engagements.
Wind is a key factor in the "ground speed mini function".

TWR WIND
It is the MAG WIND entered in the PERF APPR page. It is the average wind as provided by
the ATIS or the tower. Gusts must not be inserted, they are included in the ground speed mini
computation.

TWR HEADWIND COMPONENT
The TWR HEADWIND COMPONENT is the component of the MAG WIND projected on the
runway axis (landing runway entered in the flight plan). It is used to compute VAPP and GS mini.
Ident.: DSC-22_30-90-D-00011974.0001001 / 17 AUG 10
CURRENT HEADWIND COMPONENT
The actual wind measured by ADIRS is projected on the aircraft axis to define the CURRENT
HEADWIND COMPONENT (instantaneous headwind).
The CURRENT HEADWIND COMPONENT is used to compute the variable speed target during
final (IAS target).
Ident.: DSC-22_30-90-D-00011975.0002001 / 17 AUG 10
VAPP COMPUTATION
VAPP , automatically displayed on the MCDU PERF APPR page, is computed as follows:
‐ VAPP = VLS+1/3 of the TWR HEADWIND COMPONENT, or
‐ VAPP = VLS +5 kt, whichever is the highest.
"1/3 of the TWR HEADWIND COMPONENT" has two limits:
‐ 0 kt as the minimum value (no wind or tailwind)
‐ +15 kt as the maximum value.
The flight crew can manually modify the VAPP and TWR wind values on the PERF APPR page.
Ident.: DSC-22_30-90-D-00011976.0002001 / 01 OCT 12
SPEED TARGET COMPUTATION
The FMGS continuously computes a speed target (IAS target) that is the MCDU VAPP value plus
an additional variable gust.

The gust is the instantaneous difference between the CURRENT HEADWIND COMPONENT
and the TWR HEADWIND COMPONENT. It is always positive (or equal to zero for no wind or
tailwind).
The IAS target is displayed on the PFD as a magenta triangle moving with the gust variation.
The IAS targets have 2 limits:
‐ VAPP, as the minimum value
‐ VFE -5 kt in CONF FULL, or VFE of the next configuration in CONF 1, 2 or 3 as the maximum
value.
Ident.: DSC-22_30-90-D-00011977.0001001 / 17 MAR 17
GROUND SPEED MINI (GS MINI) COMPUTATION
Ground speed mini concept has been defined to prevent the aircraft energy from dropping below a
minimum level during final approach. The GS mini value is not displayed to the flight crew.
This minimum energy level is the energy the aircraft will have at landing with the expected tower
wind; it is materialized by the ground speed of the aircraft at that time which is called GS mini:
GS mini = VAPP - Tower head wind component
In order to achieve that goal, the aircraft ground speed should never drop below GS mini in the
approach, while the winds are changing. Thus the aircraft IAS must vary while flying down, in
order to cope with the gusts or wind changes. In order to make this possible for the pilot or for the
A/THR , the FMGS continuously computes an IAS target speed, which ensures that the aircraft
ground speed is at least equal to GS mini; the FMGS uses the instantaneous wind component
experienced by the aircraft:
IAS Target Speed = GS mini + Current headwind component
This target speed is limited by VAPP in case of tailwind or if instantaneous wind is lower than the
tower wind.

Applicable to: ALL
"CAT 3 DUAL" INOP SYS is triggered in particular if one ADR or IR is rejected by FAC or FMGC.
If “CAT 3 DUAL” is displayed in INOP SYS without any other failure being detected:
CHANGE the AP in command. It may allow the CAT 3 DUAL function to be recovered.
If unsuccessful:
SET FAC 1 pb to OFF, and back to ON
WAIT for FAC 1 fault ECAM warning to disappear, and
APPLY the same sequence for FAC 2.
Note: 1. Do not reset the FACs with the C/Bs.
2. If the CAT 3 DUAL INOP SYS is associated to another ECAM message (in particular
ADR FAULT or IR FAULT...), it means that the root cause is not an ADR or IR rejection
by FAC or FMGC. And consequently the AP switch or FAC reset will not clear the CAT 3
DUAL inop.
LEFT TURN NOT EXPECTED WHILE IN HDG OR TRK MODE
Ident.: DSC-22_30-110-00015029.0001001 / 08 AUG 13
Applicable to: ALL
The AP /FD may erroneously order a left turn if the following conditions are fulfilled:
‐ The aircraft is in a right turn in HDG or TRK mode
‐ Within 180 ms, the difference between the target selected on the FCU and the current aircraft
heading/track, initially above 85 °:
1. First goes below 85 °
2. Then goes above 95 °.
The flight crew may encounter this misbehavior in two different situations:
‐ The flight crew requests a right turn, then rapidly reduces and increases again the target selected
on the FCU
‐ The flight crew increases the target selected on the FCU according to the above conditions, while
the aircraft is already in a right turn.
The misbehavior may affect either one AP /FD or both AP /FD.

GENERAL
Ident.: DSC-22_40-10-00000840.0001001 / 24 FEB 15
Applicable to: ALL
The aircraft has two flight augmentation computers (FACs) that perform four main functions:
• Yaw function
‐ Yaw damping and turn coordination
‐ Rudder trim
‐ Rudder travel limitation
• Flight envelope function
‐ PFD speed scale management
▪ Minimum/maximum speed computation
▪ Maneuvering speed computation
‐ Alpha-floor protection
• Low-Energy Aural Alert function
• Windshear detection function
In performing these functions the FAC uses independent channels :
Yaw damper
Rudder trim
Rudder travel limit
Flight envelope
Each FAC interfaces with the elevator aileron computers (ELAC s) when the AP s are disengaged, or
with the FMGS when at least one AP is engaged.
Both FACs engage automatically at power-up.
The pilot can disengage or reset each FAC (in case of failure) by means of a pushbutton on the flight
control overhead panel.
When a FAC is disengaged (FAC pushbutton set off) but still valid, the flight envelope function of the
FAC remains active.
If both FAC s are valid, FAC 1 controls the yaw damper, turn coordination, rudder trim, and rudder
travel limit, and FAC2 is in standby.
FAC 1 keeps the aircraft within the flight envelope through FD 1 ; FAC 2 performs this function
through FD2.
If a failure is detected on any channel of FAC 1, FAC2 takes over the corresponding channel.

YAW DAMPING
Ident.: DSC-22_40-20-00000851.0001001 / 18 MAR 11
Applicable to: ALL
Yaw damping stabilizes the aircraft in yaw and coordinates its turns.
In automatic flight (AP engaged) during takeoff and go around, it assists rudder application after an
engine failure (short-term yaw compensation).
Note: When the AP is engaged, the FMGS sends orders to the FAC to give :
‐ Yaw damping during approach
‐ Yaw control for runway alignment in ROLL OUT mode
RUDDER TRIM
Ident.: DSC-22_40-20-00000855.0001001 / 09 DEC 09
Applicable to: ALL
The rudder trim function :
‐ Executes trim orders, entered by the pilot by using the manual trim knob.
‐ When AP is engaged
▪ executes trim orders from the FMGS.
▪ Assists the system in recovering from engine failure (long-term yaw compensation) in all flight
guidance modes.
▪ If the pilot pushes the rudder more than 10 ° out of trim, it disengages the AP.
Note: When the AP is engaged, the rudder trim knob is inoperative : the master FMGC
sends rudder trim orders to the FAC.
RUDDER TRAVEL LIMITATION
Ident.: DSC-22_40-20-00000857.0001001 / 01 OCT 12
Applicable to: ALL
This function limits rudder deflection is based on speed in order to avoid high structural loads. It is
governed by the following law :

If both FACs lose the rudder travel limitation function, the value of the rudder deflection limit is locked
at the time of the second failure.
When the slats are extended, the FACs automatically set the rudder deflection limit at the low-speed
setting (maximum authorized deflection).

As long as one Flight Augmentation Computer (FAC ) is valid, it governs the flight envelope function,
the rudder position display, and the rudder trim indication regardless of what the flight crew does with
the FAC pushbutton.
PFD SPEED SCALE MANAGEMENT
Ident.: DSC-22_40-30-00000860.0001001 / 21 MAR 17
Applicable to: ALL
The FAC controls the speed scale on the PFD (Refer to DSC-31-40 Attitude Data).
When both FAC s are operative, FAC 1 supplies data to PFD 1 and FAC 2 supplies it to PFD2.
The FAC computes:
‐ The minimum and maximum speeds:
• VSW (stall warning)
• VLS
• VFE and VFE for the next configuration
• VLE
• VMO /MMO
‐ The maneuvering speeds:
• Green Dot Speed
• S speed
• F speed
The FAC also computes the speed trend and displays it as an arrow on the PFD speed scale.
The PFD displays these various speeds as appropriate, and they also go to the FMGC to be used as
limits for various guidance modes.

FCOM ← B to C → 22 MAR 17
Note: The principle of the speed computation is as follows:
‐ First, the FAC computes VS1G (stall speed). From VS1G it computes the Gross Weight
(GW) which is also sent to the Elevator Aileron computers:
• When the aircraft is below 14 500 ft and 250 kt, it computes this from current angle of
attack, speed/Mach, altitude, thrust, and CG.
• When the aircraft is above 14 500 ft or 250 kt, it computes this out of the GW , which it
has memorized and updated with a fuel consumption model set in the FAC.
‐ Finally the FAC computes the various minimum and maneuvering speeds, Vα prot and
Vsw.
‐ The accuracies of the various minimum and maximum speeds are functions of the
accuracy with which the FAC computes aircraft gross weight. Normal accuracy for VLS in
CONFIG FULL is about ± 3 kt.
ALPHA-FLOOR PROTECTION
Ident.: DSC-22_40-30-00006198.0001001 / 17 MAR 17
Applicable to: ALL
Alpha-floor protection automatically sets the thrust at TOGA thrust, when the aircraft reaches a very
high angle of attack.
The Flight Augmentation Computer (FAC) generates the signal that triggers the alpha-floor mode.
This, in turn, sets TOGA thrust on the engines, regardless of the thrust lever positions (Refer to
DSC-22_30-90 A/THR Modes - General).
The FAC sends this signal when:
‐ The angle of attack is above a predetermined threshold, that is a function of the configuration.
‐ In CONF 3 and CONF FULL, this threshold decreases as a function of the aircraft deceleration
rate (down to – 3 °).
Alpha-floor is available from lift-off until the aircraft reaches 100 ft RA in approach.
Note: The αfloor is activated through the A/THR system, when:
‐ α is greater than αfloor (9.5 ° in configuration 0; 15 ° in configuration 1, 2; 14 ° in
configuration 3; 13 ° in configuration FULL), or
‐ Sidestick deflection is greater than 14 ° nose up, with either the pitch attitude or the
angle-of-attack protection active.
The αfloor function is available from lift-off to 100 ft RA before landing.

SFCC 1 and FAC2, or
SFCC 2 and FAC1, or
Both FCU channels, or
1 EIU, or
Both FMGCs.
‐ Alpha-floor is lost under alternate or direct flight control law.
‐ Alpha-floor is lost in engine-out, when slats/flaps are extended.
LOW - ENERGY AURAL ALERT
Ident.: DSC-22_40-30-00006197.0001001 / 24 FEB 15
Applicable to: ALL
An aural low-energy “SPEED SPEED SPEED” alert, repeated every 5 s, warns the pilot that the
aircraft’s energy level is going below a threshold under which he has to increase thrust, in order to
regain a positive flight path angle through pitch control.
It is available in Configuration 2, 3, and FULL. The FAC computes the energy level with the following
inputs:
‐ Aircraft configuration
‐ Horizontal deceleration rate
‐ Flight path angle.
The aural alert is inhibited when:
‐ TOGA is selected, or
‐ Below 100 ft RA, or
‐ Above 2 000 ft RA, or
‐ Alpha-floor, or the ground proximity warning system alert is triggered, or
‐ In alternate or direct law, or
‐ If both radio altimeters fail.
During deceleration, the low-energy aural alert is triggered before alpha floor (unless alpha floor
is triggered by stick deflection). The amount of time between the two alerts depends on the
deceleration rate.

FCOM A to C 24 JAN 17
WINDSHEAR DETECTION FUNCTION
Ident.: DSC-22_40-40-00006194.0001001 / 07 JUL 11
Applicable to: ALL
The windshear detection function is provided by the Flight Augmentation Computer (FAC) in takeoff
and approach phase in the following conditions:
‐ At takeoff, 3 s after liftoff, up to 1 300 ft RA
‐ At landing, from 1 300 ft RA to 50 ft RA
‐ With at least CONF 1 selected.
The warning consists of:
‐ A visual “WINDSHEAR” red message displayed on both PFDs for a minimum of 15 s.
‐ An aural synthetic voice announcing “WINDSHEAR” three times.
WINDSHEAR DETECTION PRINCIPLES
Ident.: DSC-22_40-40-00006195.0001001 / 23 JUN 15
Applicable to: ALL
The FACs generate the windshear warning whenever the predicted energy level for the aircraft falls
below a predetermined threshold.
In computing this energy level prediction, the FAC s use data from different sources. From ADIRS
comes data such as vertical speed, air and ground speeds and slope ; from other sources come such
derived parameters as total slope, longitudinal wind gradient, and vertical wind.
The FACs express this energy level as an angle of attack and compare it with an angle-of-attack
threshold above which windshear conditions are most likely and pilot action is required.
GUIDANCE
Ident.: DSC-22_40-40-00006196.0001001 / 09 DEC 09
Applicable to: ALL
In windshear conditions, flight guidance acts on specially adapted FD pitch orders received from the
speed reference system (SRS). The pilot must set go around thrust immediately (which also triggers
the FD SRS mode), and follow the pitch order to execute the optimum escape maneuver.

The FMS AOC function gives an interface between a ground station and one onboard FMGC ,
allowing data transmission between these two computers via the ACARS Management Unit or the
ATSU.
Two different sets of message can be exchanged:
UPLINK messages from the ground station. They consist in reception of data requested or directly
sent to the crew.
DOWNLINK messages from the FMGC (master). They consist in reports or requests sent to the
ground station.
The FMGS /ACARS or FMGS /ATSU interface enables the following AOC capabilities.
‐ F-PLN initialization (flight plan and performance data)
‐ Takeoff data
‐ Wind data
‐ Flight reports
‐ Broadcast data
Crews can send message using ACARS FUNCTION pages or relevant MCDU pages.
Only one FMGC talks to the ground station. This FMGC is called FMGC “master”.
GENERAL SCRATCHPAD MESSAGES
NOT XMITTED TO ACARS: A crew request or report was sent to the ground but the

FLIGHT PLAN INITIALIZATION FUNCTION
Ident.: DSC-22_45-00000865.0001001 / 18 MAR 11
Applicable to: ALL
This function enables lateral and vertical flight plan data as well as initialization data to be exchanged
between the aircraft and a ground station. The aircraft may send flight plan requests for active and
secondary flight plan. (downlink messages). The ground station may send flight plan and initialization
data (uplink messages) either under aircraft request or automatically without any request.
Each uplink message concerns either the active or secondary flight plan but never both flight plans at
the same time. The data sent to the aircraft are checked for flight plan consistency.
A MCDU message comes up when an uplink message is received. “ACT (or SEC ) RTE UPLINK”.

If an error prevents the decoding process of the message, “INVALID RTE UPLINK” is displayed on
MCDUs.
An uplink message can be routed to the active flight plan if no engine is started and no active flight
plan exists. Otherwise, it is routed to the secondary. The crew will insert it into the secondary flight
plan or will reject it using the CLR key.
Note: The flight plan may also be initialized using the ACARS FUNCTION page selected from
DATA INDEX page.
PERFORMANCE DATA
On ground and before engine start, the ground station may also send performance data to the
aircraft.
Performance data are always associated with the uplink flight plan. It is either automatically
inserted with the active flight plan data, or stored in the secondary with the corresponding flight
plan.
This message contains part or all of the following data:
ZFW, ZFWCG, taxi fuel, block fuel, cruise flight level, tropopause altitude, cruise temperature,
transition altitude, cost index, performance factor.
Note: After engine start an uplink performance data message is rejected automatically without

Ident.: DSC-22_45-00000866.0001001 / 18 MAR 11
Applicable to: ALL
The takeoff data function is available for the active flight plan only. It is used to request to the ground
station, information data for up to 2 runways and to receive this data for up to 4 runways.
The crew sends a request indicating the departure airport, runway idents, CG , GW and weather
conditions (such as BARO setting wind, temperature...). In response he receives the takeoff speeds
for up to 4 runways but only one set of data may be inserted in the active flight plan for the selected
active runway.
Takeoff speeds are computed for max and flex takeoff.
The takeoff data function has required the modification of the standard PERF TAKEOFF page and
the addition of 2 news pages:
• UPLINK TO DAT REQ page that enables the crew to specify a request to the ground.
• UPLINK XXX TO DATA page (XXX for MAX or FLEX)
These 2 pages are accessed from the PERF TAKEOFF page in PREFLIGHT and DONE phase only.

DESCRIPTION
Ident.: DSC-23-10-20-00018494.0001001 / 17 MAR 17
Applicable to: ALL
Identical Radio Management Panels (RMPs):
‐ Give the flight crew control of all VHF radio communication systems (HF systems ).
‐ Provide backup to the FMGCs for controlling radio navigation systems (Refer to
DSC-34-NAV-30-10 General).
The two RMPs are on the center pedestal (and the third is on the overhead panel).
Each RMP can control any VHF (HF ) transceiver. RMP 1 and RMP 2 are connected directly
to all VHF (HF ) transceivers, (whereas RMP3 is connected to them via RMP 1 and RMP
2). RMP s are connected together so that each RMP is updated to the selections made on the other
RMPs.
Only RMP1 functions in EMER ELEC CONFIG.
If one RMP fails, the remaining one controls all the VHF (HF ) transceivers.

Applicable to: ALL
The electrical power system consists of a three-phase 115/200 V 400 Hz constant-frequency AC
system and a 28 V DC system. Electrical transients are acceptable for equipment. Commercial
supply has secondary priority.
In normal configuration, the electrical power system provides AC power. The electrical power system
is constituted of 2 engine generators and 1 APU generator. Each generator can provide AC power to
all electrical bus bars. A part of this AC power is converted into DC power for certain applications.
In the event that normal AC power is not available, an emergency generator can provide AC power.
In the event that all AC power is not available, the electrical power system can invert DC power from
the batteries into AC power.

AC GENERATORS
Ident.: DSC-24-10-20-00017751.0001001 / 21 MAR 16
Applicable to: ALL
ENGINE – DRIVEN GENERATORS
Two AC generators (GEN 1, GEN 2), one driven by each main engine through an integrated drive,
supply aircraft electrical power. Each generator can supply up to 90 KVA of three phase 115/200 V
400 Hz power.
Two Generators Control Units (GCU ) control the output of their respective generator. The main
functions of each GCU are :
‐ Control the frequency and voltage of the generator output.
‐ Protect the network by controlling the associated generator line contactor.
APU GENERATOR AND EXTERNAL POWER
A third generator (APU GEN ), driven directly by the APU and producing the same output as each
main engine generator, can replace either or both main engine generators at any time.
A ground power connector near the nosewheel allows ground power to be supplied to all busbars.
A Ground Power Control Unit (GPCU) :
‐ Protects the network by controlling the external power contactor, or
A Ground and Auxiliary Power Control Unit (GAPCU) :
‐ Regulates, via the APU Electronic Control Box, the frequency and voltage of the APU generator.
‐ Protects the network by controlling the external power contactor and the APU generator line
contactor.
EMERGENCY GENERATOR
The blue hydraulic circuit drives an emergency generator that automatically supplies emergency
AC power to the aircraft electrical system, if all main generators fail. This generator supplies 5 KVA
of three-phase 115 and 200 V 400 Hz power.
A Generator Control Unit (GCU) :
‐ Keeps the emergency generator at a constant speed,
‐ Controls the generator's output voltage,
‐ Protects the network by the controlling the emergency generator line contactor, and

DC GENERATION
Ident.: DSC-24-10-20-00017752.0001001 / 21 MAR 16
Applicable to: ALL
TRANSFORMER RECTIFIERS (TRS)
Two main transformer rectifiers, TR 1 and TR 2, supply the aircraft's electrical system, with up to
200 A of DC current.
A third (identical) Transformer Rectifier, the ESS TR , can power the essential DC circuit from the
emergency generator, if the engine and APU generators all fail, or if TR 1 or TR 2 fails.
Each TR controls its contactor by internal logic.
A fourth Transformer Rectifier (TR Entertainment ) powers the DC Entertainment bus bar
dedicated to the In-Flight Entertainment system (IFE ) in order to take into account IFE needs.
BATTERIES
Two main batteries, each with a normal capacity of 23 Ah, are permanently connected to the two
hot buses.
Each battery has an associated Battery Charge Limiter (BCL).
The BCL monitors battery charging and controls its battery contactor.
CIRCUIT BREAKERS (C/BS)
Ident.: DSC-24-10-20-00000874.0002001 / 15 FEB 11
Applicable to: ALL
The aircraft has two types of C/Bs:
‐ Monitored (green): When out for more than 1 min, the C/B TRIPPED warning is triggered on the
ECAM.
‐ Non-monitored (black).
The Wing Tip Brake (WTB ) C/Bs have red caps on them to prevent them from being reset.
The C/B TRIPPED warning on the ECAM indicates the location of the affected C/B . The following
panels are monitored: OVHD PNL , L(R) ELEC BAY, REAR PNL J-M or N-R or S-V or W-Z.

Applicable to: ALL
Each engine-driven generator supplies its associated AC BUS (1 and 2) via its generator line
contactor (GLC 1 and GLC 2).
AC BUS 1 normally supplies the AC ESS BUS via a contactor.
TR 1 normally supplies DC BUS 1, DC BAT BUS, and DC ESS BUS.
TR 2 normally supplies DC BUS 2.
The two batteries are connected to the DC BAT BUS, if they need charging. When they are fully
charged, the battery charge limiter disconnects them.

EMERGENCY GENERATION AFTER LOSS OF ALL MAIN GENERATORS
Ident.: DSC-24-10-30-30-00000882.0002001 / 21 MAR 16
Applicable to: ALL
If both AC BUS 1 and AC BUS 2 are lost and the aircraft speed is above 100 kt, the Ram Air Turbine
(RAT) extends automatically. This powers the blue hydraulic system, which drives the emergency
generator by means of a hydraulic motor. This generator supplies the AC ESS BUS, and the DC ESS
BUS via the ESS TR.
If the RAT stalls, or if the aircraft is on the ground with a speed below 100 kt, the emergency
generator has nothing to drive it. The emergency generation network automatically transfers to the
batteries and static inverter, and the system automatically sheds the AC SHED ESS and DC SHED
ESS buses.
When the aircraft is on ground :
‐ Below 100 kt, DC BAT BUS is automatically connected to the batteries.
‐ Below 50 kt, AC ESS BUS is automatically shed, leading to the loss of all display units.
Note: 1. During RAT extension and emergency generator coupling (about 8 s), the batteries
power the emergency generation network.
2. On ground, if only the batteries are powering the emergency generation network, APU
start is only available when the speed is below 100 kt.

Auto : The battery charge limiter controls automatically the connection and the
disconnection of the corresponding battery to the DC BAT BUS (3 PP) by
closing and opening of the battery line contactor.
‐ The batteries are connected to the DC BAT BUS in the following cases:
• APU starting (MASTER SW pb-sw at ON and N < 95 %).
Note: The connection is limited to 3 min when the emergency
generator is running.
• Battery voltage below 26.5 V (battery charge). The charging cycle ends
when battery charge current goes below 4 A.
▪ On ground, immediately
▪ In flight, after a time delay of 30 min.
• Loss of AC BUS 1 and 2 when below 100 kt (EMER GEN not
supplying).
‐ If AC BUS 1 and 2 are not energized and the EMER GEN is not supplying:
• Battery 1 supplies the AC STAT INV BUS, and, if speed is greater than
50 kt, the AC ESS BUS.
• Battery 2 supplies the DC ESS BUS.
Note: In normal configuration the batteries are disconnected most of
the time.
Note: A battery automatic cut-off logic prevents the batteries from
discharging completely when the aircraft is on the ground
(parking).
Automatic battery contactors open when:
‐ The aircraft is on the ground
‐ The BAT pb switches are at AUTO
‐ The main power supply (EXT PWR + GEN) is cut off
‐ Battery voltage is low.
The flight crew can reset the contactors by switching the BAT
pb-sw to OFF then to AUTO.
OFF : The battery charge limiter is not operating: the battery line contactor is open.
OFF comes on white if the DC BAT BUS is supplied. Hot buses remain
supplied.
FAULT light : Comes on amber, accompanied by an ECAM caution, when the charging
current for the corresponding battery is outside limits.
In this case the battery contactor opens.

The aircraft and system controls, required for piloting the aircraft, are arranged in such a way that the
crew faces forward and all crewmembers can monitor instruments and systems.
The designers concentrated system controls on the overhead panel by making extensive use of
pushbuttons, directly installed in the system synoptic.
Note: This chapter describes the panels and equipment of the basic aircraft configuration, and
may not correspond to the customized configuration of a specific aircraft.
For more information on the installed equipment or panels, refer to the relevant chapter's
system description.
PRINCIPLES FOR PUSHBUTTONS WITH INTEGRATED INDICATIONS
Ident.: DSC-25-10-10-00000983.0001001 / 21 MAR 16

The pushbutton positions, and their illuminated indications, follow the "lights out” principle.
‐ While corresponding to particular aircraft configurations, indications also have the following color
codes :
• Warnings
RED : A failure requiring immediate action.
• Cautions
AMBER : A failure, of which the flight crew should be aware, but does not call for immediate
action.
• Indications
GREEN : For normal system operation.
BLUE : For normal operation of a system used temporarily
WHITE : ‐ For an abnormal pushbutton position.
‐ For a test result or maintenance information.
When the aircraft is in a normal configuration, only green lights can be permanently lit, whereas
blue lights can be intermittently.
‐ Pushbutton positions :
POSITION BASIC FUNCTION
Pressed In ON, AUTO, OVRD, OPEN
Released Out OFF, MAN , ALTN, SHUT
Note: 1. Certain pushbutton lights have two dots, indicating that the corresponding part of the
pushbutton is not used.
2. Certain pushbuttons do not remain pressed in. These are referred to as “Momentary
Action” pushbuttons.

FIRE DETECTION
Ident.: DSC-26-20-10-00021393.0001001 / 17 MAR 17
Applicable to: ALL
The engines and the APU each have a fire and overheat detection system consisting of:
‐ Two identical detection loops (A and B) mounted in parallel
‐ A Fire Detection Unit (FDU).
The fire detection loops consist of:
‐ Three or four (as installed) engine fire sensing elements, in the pylon nacelle, in the engine core,
and in the engine fan section
‐ One fire sensing element in the APU compartment.
When a sensing element is subjected to heat, it sends a signal to the FDU. As soon as loops A and B
detect temperature above a preset level, the fire warning system is triggered.
A fault in one loop (break or loss of electrical supply) does not affect the warning system and the
unaffected loop still protects the aircraft.

EXTINGUISHING
Ident.: DSC-26-20-10-00021395.0001001 / 04 JUL 17
Applicable to: ALL
ENGINES
Each engine has two fire extinguisher bottles, with electrically-operated squibs to discharge their
agents. Each squib has a dual electric supply. The flight crew controls the discharge of the fire
extinguisher bottles from the FIRE panel in the cockpit.
APU
The APU has one fire extinguisher bottle, with two electrically-operated squibs to discharge its
agent. The flight crew controls the discharge of the fire extinguisher bottle from the FIRE panel in
the cockpit. When an APU fire is detected on the ground, the APU automatically shuts down, and
the extinguisher bottle discharges automatically.
FIRE DETECTION AND DETECTION FAULT LOGIC
Ident.: DSC-26-20-10-00021394.0001001 / 17 MAR 17
Applicable to: ALL
Fire detection units process all the warnings and cautions originating in the sensing elements.
‐ A fire warning appears, if:
• Both loops A and B send a fire signal, or
• One loop sends a fire signal and the other one is failed, or
• Breaks occur in both loops within 5 s of each other (flame effect), or
• A test is performed on the FIRE panel
‐ A loop-fault caution appears, if:
• One loop is failed, or
• Both loops are failed, or
• The FDU fails.

SMOKE DETECTION
Ident.: DSC-26-50-10-00021442.0003001 / 17 MAR 17
Applicable to: ALL
The forward and aft cargo compartments smoke detection system consists of:
‐ Two smoke detectors that are in the forward cargo compartment ceiling panel cavities. Each
detector is linked to one of the two detection loops (dual loop principle).
‐ Four smoke detectors that are in the aft cargo compartment ceiling panel cavities. Each detector is
linked to one of the two detection loops (dual loop principle).
‐ A Smoke Detection Control Unit (SDCU) with two identical channels, or a Cabin
Intercommunication Data Systems (CIDS ) with a Smoke Detection Function (SDF) , that
receives signals from the smoke detectors, and transmits it to the ECAM.
Smoke in one cavity activates the cargo smoke warning if:
‐ Both smoke detectors detect smoke, or
‐ One smoke detector detects smoke and the other is inoperative.
Cargo isolation valves close automatically, and the extraction fan stops when the cargo
smoke warning is activated.

FIRE EXTINGUISHING
Ident.: DSC-26-50-10-00021443.0005001 / 17 MAR 17
Applicable to: ALL
A fire extinguishing system protects the forward and aft cargo compartments.
One fire bottle with two discharge heads, one for each compartment, supplies three nozzles:
‐ One nozzle in the forward cargo compartment
‐ Two nozzles in the aft cargo compartment.
When the flight crew presses the FWD(AFT) DISCH pb, the action ignites the corresponding squib
on the fire bottle, which then discharges the extinguisher agent into that cargo compartment.
When the bottle is empty, the DISCH light comes on amber.

GENERAL
Ident.: DSC-27-10-10-00001043.0001001 / 21 MAR 16
Applicable to: ALL
The fly-by-wire system was designed and certified to render the new generation of aircraft even more
safe, cost effective, and pleasant to fly.
BASIC PRINCIPLE
Ident.: DSC-27-10-10-00001044.0001001 / 21 MAR 16
Applicable to: ALL
Flight control surfaces are all :
‐ Electrically-controlled, and
‐ Hydraulically-activated.
The stabilizer and rudder can also be mechanically-controlled.
Pilots use sidesticks to fly the aircraft in pitch and roll (and in yaw, indirectly, through turn
coordination).
Computers interpret pilot input and move the flight control surfaces, as necessary, to follow their
orders.
However, when in normal law, regardless of the pilot’s input, the computers will prevent excessive
maneuvers and exceedance of the safe envelope in pitch and roll axis.
However, as on conventional aircraft, the rudder has no such protection.

COCKPIT CONTROLS
Ident.: DSC-27-10-10-00001046.0001001 / 21 MAR 16
Applicable to: ALL
‐ Each pilot has a sidestick controller with which to exercise manual control of pitch and roll. These
are on their respective lateral consoles.
The two sidestick controllers are not coupled mechanically, and they send separate sets of signals
to the flight control computers.
‐ Two pairs of pedals, which are rigidly interconnected, give the pilot mechanical control of the
rudder.
‐ The pilots control speed brakes with a lever on the center pedestal.
‐ The pilots use mechanically interconnected handwheels on each side of the center pedestal to
control the trimmable horizontal stabilizer.
‐ The pilots use a single switch on the center pedestal to set the rudder trim.
‐ There is no manual switch for trimming the ailerons.
COMPUTERS

Applicable to: ALL
Ident.: DSC-27-10-20-A-00001049.0001001 / 21 MAR 16
GENERAL
Two elevators and the Trimmable Horizontal Stabilizer (THS ) control the aircraft in pitch. The
maximum elevator deflection is 30 ° nose up, and 17 ° nose down. The maximum THS deflection
is 13.5 ° nose up, and 4 ° nose down.
Ident.: DSC-27-10-20-A-00001050.0001001 / 21 MAR 16
ELECTRICAL CONTROL
‐ In normal operations, ELAC2 controls the elevators and the horizontal stabilizer, and the green
and yellow hydraulic jacks drive the left and right elevator surfaces respectively.
The THS is driven by N° 1 of three electric motors.
‐ If a failure occurs in ELAC 2, or in the associated hydraulic systems, or with the hydraulic jacks,
the system shifts pitch control to ELAC 1. ELAC 1 then controls the elevators via the blue
hydraulic jacks and controls the THS via the N° 2 electric motor.
‐ If neither ELAC 1 nor ELAC 2 is available, the system shifts pitch control either to SEC 1 or to
SEC 2, (depending on the status of the associated circuits), and to THS motor N° 2 or N° 3.
In case of failure, the actuators are reconfigured, Refer to DSC-27-10-20 Pitch Control -
Schematic.

ACTUATION
ELEVATORS
‐ Two electrically-controlled hydraulic servojacks drive each elevator.
Each servojack has three control modes :
• Active : The jack position is electrically-controlled.
• Damping : The jack follows surface movement.
• Centering : The jack is hydraulically retained in the neutral position.
‐ In normal operation :
• One jack is in active mode.
• The other jack is in damping mode.
• Some maneuvers cause the second jack to become active.
‐ If the active servojack fails, the damped one becomes active, and the failed jack is
automatically switched to damping mode.
‐ If neither jack is being controlled electrically, both are automatically switched to the centering
mode.
‐ If neither jack is being controlled hydraulically, both are automatically switched to damping
mode.
‐ If one elevator fails, the deflection of the remaining elevator is limited in order to avoid putting
excessive asymmetric loads on the horizontal tailplane or rear fuselage.
STABILIZER
‐ A screwjack driven by two hydraulic motors drives the stabilizer.
‐ The two hydraulic motors are controlled by :
• One of three electric motors, or
• The mechanical trim wheel.

Applicable to: ALL
Ident.: DSC-27-10-20-B-00001055.0003001 / 09 OCT 12
GENERAL
One aileron and four spoilers on each wing control the aircraft about the roll axis.
The maximum deflection of the ailerons is 25 °.
The ailerons extend 5 ° down when the flaps are extended (aileron droop).
The maximum deflection of the spoilers is 35 °.
Ident.: DSC-27-10-20-B-00001056.0001001 / 21 MAR 16
ELECTRIC CONTROL
‐ The ELAC 1 normally controls the ailerons.
If ELAC 1 fails, the system automatically transfers aileron control to ELAC2.
If both ELACs fail, the ailerons revert to the damping mode.
‐ SEC 3 controls the N° 2 spoilers, SEC 1 the N° 3 and 4 spoilers, and SEC2 the N° 5 spoilers.
If a SEC fails, the spoilers it controls are automatically retracted.

ACTUATION
AILERONS
Each aileron has two electrically controlled hydraulic servojacks.
One of these servojacks per aileron operates at a time.
Each servojack has two control modes :
Active : Jack position is controlled electrically
Damping : Jack follows surface movement.
The system automatically selects damping mode, if both ELACs fail or in the event of blue and
green hydraulic low pressure.
SPOILERS
A servojack positions each spoiler. Each servojack receives hydraulic power from either the
green, yellow, or blue hydraulic system, controlled by the SEC1, 2 or 3 (Refer to DSC-27-10-20
General Architecture diagram).
The system automatically retracts the spoilers to their zero position, if it detects a fault or loses
electrical control.
If the system loses hydraulic pressure, the spoiler retains the deflection it had at the time of the
loss, or a lesser deflection if aerodynamic forces push it down.
When a spoiler surface on one wing fails, the symmetric one on the other wing is inhibited.
SPEED BRAKES AND GROUND SPOILERS
Applicable to: ALL
Ident.: DSC-27-10-20-C-00001058.0011001 / 26 MAY 14
SPEED BRAKE CONTROL
The pilot controls the speedbrakes with the speed brake lever.
The speedbrakes are actually spoilers 2, 3 and 4.
Speedbrake extension is inhibited, if:
‐ SEC 1 and SEC 3 both have faults, or
‐ An elevator (L or R) has a fault, or
‐ Angle-of-attack protection is active, or
‐ Flaps are in configuration FULL, or
‐ Thrust levers above MCT position, or
‐ Alpha Floor activation.

If an inhibition occurs when the speedbrakes are extended, they retract automatically and stay
retracted until the inhibition condition disappears and the pilots reset the lever. (The speedbrakes
can be extended again 10 s or more after the lever is reset).
When a speedbrake surface on one wing fails, the symmetric one on the other wing is inhibited.
Note: 1. For maintenance purposes, the speedbrake lever will extend the N° 1 surfaces when
the aircraft is stopped on ground, whatever the slat/flap configuration.
2. When the aircraft is flying faster than 315 kt or M 0.75 with the autopilot engaged, the
speedbrake retraction rate is reduced (Retraction from FULL to in takes about 25 s).
L3 The maximum speedbrake deflection in manual flight is:
40 ° for spoilers 3 and 4
20 ° for spoiler 2.
The maximum speedbrake deflection with the autopilot engaged is:
25 ° for spoilers 3 and 4
12.5 ° for spoiler 2.
The maximum speedbrake deflection achievable with the autopilot engaged is obtained by setting
the speedbrake lever to the half way position. On setting the position of the speedbrake lever from
half to full, no increase in speedbrake deflection will be achieved.
For these surfaces (which perform both roll and speedbrake functions) the roll function has priority.
When the sum of a roll order and a simultaneous speedbrake order on one surface is greater than
the maximum deflection available in flight, the same surface on the other wing is retracted until the
difference between the two surfaces is equal to the roll order.
Ident.: DSC-27-10-20-C-00017787.0002001 / 28 APR 16
GROUND SPOILER CONTROL
The ground spoiler function involves all spoilers (full extension) and ailerons (Aileron Anti Droop
).
When a ground spoiler surface on one wing fails, the symmetric ground spoiler surface on the
other wing is inhibited.
ARMING
The pilot arms the ground spoilers by pulling the speedbrake control lever up into the armed
position.

FULL EXTENSION – REJECTED TAKEOFF PHASE
▪ If the ground spoilers are armed and the speed exceeds 72 kt, the ground spoilers will
automatically extend as soon as both thrust levers are reset to idle.
▪ If the ground spoilers are not armed and the speed exceeds 72 kt, the ground spoilers will
automatically extend as soon as reverse is selected on one engine (the other thrust lever
remains at idle).
FULL EXTENSION - LANDING PHASE
The ground spoilers will automatically extend when the following conditions are met:
‐ Speed brake lever not in the retracted position or ground spoilers armed and:
• Both main landing gears on ground,
• Both thrust levers at or below Idle position, or Reverse selected on at least one engine
(and the other thrust lever below MCT position).
‐ Speed brake lever in the retracted position but ground spoilers not armed and:
• Both main landing gears on ground,
• Reverse selected on at least one engine (and the other thrust lever below MCT position).
The ailerons are fully-extended (Aileron Anti Droop ), provided one aileron servocontrol is
available on each side, when:
‐ The ground spoilers are fully extended
‐ Flaps are not in clean CONF
‐ Pitch attitude is lower than 2.5 °
‐ Flying manually
‐ In normal law only.
PARTIAL EXTENSION
In order to accelerate the full spoiler extension, the Phased Lift Dumping (PLD) function allows
the ground spoilers to deploy with a reduced deflection when the following conditions are met:
‐ Speed brake lever not in the retracted position or ground spoilers armed and:
• One main landing gear on ground,
• Both thrust levers at or below Idle position.
‐ Speed brake lever in the retracted position but ground spoilers not armed and:
• One main landing gear on ground,
• Reverse selected on at least one engine (and the other thrust lever below MCT position).

RUDDER TRAVEL LIMIT
The maximum rudder travel deflection gradually reduces as the speed increases, to avoid
structural loads:
In the case of a failure that causes loss of the Rudder Travel limit system, the rudder deflection
limit stops at the last value reached. At slats extension, full rudder travel authority is recovered.
In all cases, the available rudder deflection provides sufficient yaw control within the entire flight
envelope. This includes the case of maximum asymmetric thrust.

RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN SIDESLIP/RUDDER DEFLECTION/RUDDER PEDAL TRAVEL
Regardless of the aircraft speed, therefore the maximum rudder deflection, full rudder pedal travel
remains available. However, except at low speed, maximum rudder deflection is achieved before
reaching maximum rudder pedal travel.
Ident.: DSC-27-10-20-D-00001066.0002001 / 21 MAR 16
RUDDER TRIM
The two electric motors that position the artificial feel unit also trim the rudder. In normal
operation, motor N° 1 (controlled by FAC 1), powers the trim, and FAC2 with motor N° 2 remains
synchronized as a backup.
In manual flight, the pilot can apply rudder trim via the rotary RUD TRIM switch on the pedestal.
The pilot can use a button on the RUD TRIM panel to reset the rudder trim to zero.
Note: With the autopilot engaged, the FMGC computes the rudder trim orders. The rudder trim
rotary switch and the rudder trim reset pushbutton are not active.

One of the PF's primary tasks is to maintain the aircraft within the limits of the normal flight envelope.
However, some circumstances, due to extreme situations or aircraft mishandling, may provoke the
violation of these limits.
Despite system protections, the PF must not exceed deliberately the normal flight envelope. In
addition, these protections are not designed to be structural limit protections (e.g. opposite rudder
pedal inputs). Rather, they are designed to assist the PF in emergency and stressful situations,
where only instinctive and rapid reactions will be effective.
Protections are intended to:
• Provide full authority to the PF to consistently achieve the best possible aircraft performance in
extreme conditions
• Reduce the risks of overcontrolling, or overstressing the aircraft
• Provide PF with an instinctive and immediate procedure to ensure that the PF achieves the best
possible result.

Pitch Control
GROUND MODE
Ident.: DSC-27-20-10-20-00001069.0001001 / 20 SEP 13
Applicable to: ALL
Ground mode is a direct relationship between sidestick deflection and elevator deflection, without
auto trim.
It automatically sets the trimmable horizontal stabilizer (THS) at 0 ° (inside the green band).
A setting that the pilot enters manually to adjust for CG has priority for takeoff.
When the aircraft reaches 75 kt during the takeoff roll, the system reduces the maximum up elevator
deflection from 30 ° to 20 °.
FLIGHT MODE
Ident.: DSC-27-20-10-20-00001070.0003001 / 17 MAR 17
Applicable to: ALL
The normal-law flight mode is a load-factor-demand mode with automatic trim and protection
throughout the flight envelope.
Following normal law, the sidestick controllers set the elevator and THS to maintain load factor
proportional to stick deflection and independent of speed.
With the sidestick at neutral, wings level, the system maintains 1 g in pitch (corrected for pitch
attitude), and there is no need for the pilot to trim by changing speed or configuration. Therefore
pilots only need to perform minor corrections on the sidestick, if the aircraft deviates from its intended
flight path. If the pilot senses an overcontrol, the sidestick should be released.
Pitch trim is automatic both in manual mode and when the autopilot is engaged. In normal turns (up
to 33 ° of bank) the pilot does not have to make any pitch corrections once the turn is established.
The flight mode is active from takeoff to landing, and follows the logic shown schematically (Refer to
DSC-27-20-10-10 General).

Airbus Pitch Characteristic
Automatic pitch trim freezes in the following situations:
‐ The pilot enters a manual trim order.
‐ The radio height is below 50 ft (100 ft with autopilot engaged).
‐ The load factor goes below 0.5 g.
When angle-of-attack protection is active, the THS setting is limited between the setting at the
aircraft’s entry into this protection and 3.5 ° nose down. (Neither the pilot nor the system can apply
additional nose-up trim).
Similarly, when the load factor is higher than 1.25 g or when the aircraft exceeds 33 ° of bank, the
THS setting is limited to values between the actual setting and 3.5 ° nose down.
When High Speed or High Mach Protection is active, the THS Setting is limited between the setting
at the aircraft’s entry into this protection and 11 ° nose-up.
CONTROL WITH AUTOPILOT ENGAGED
‐ The ELAC s and SECs limit what the autopilot can order.
‐ The pilot has to overcome a restraining force in order to move the sidestick when the autopilot is
engaged. If he overcomes this force, he disconnects the autopilot.

FLARE MODE
Ident.: DSC-27-20-10-20-00001071.0001001 / 21 MAR 16
Applicable to: ALL
When the aircraft passes 50 ft RA, the THS is frozen and the normal flight mode changes to flare
mode as the aircraft descends to land. Flare mode is essentially a direct stick-to-elevator relationship
(with some damping provided by the load factor and the pitch rate feedbacks).
The system memorizes the aircraft's attitude at 50 ft, and it becomes the initial reference for pitch
attitude control.
As the aircraft descends through 30 ft, the system begins to reduce the pitch attitude to -2 °nose
down over a period of 8 s. Consequently, to flare the aircraft, a gentle nose-up action by the pilot is
required.

LOAD FACTOR PROTECTION
High load factors can be encountered during evasive maneuvers due to potential collisions, or
CFIT …
Pulling "g" is efficient, if the resulting maneuver is really flown with this "g" number. If the aircraft is
not able to fly this trajectory, or to perform this maneuver, pulling "g" will be detrimental.
The load factor is automatically limited to:
+2.5 g to -1 g for clean configuration.
+2 g to 0 for other configurations.
Airbus LOAD FACTOR PROTECTION AND SAFETY
On most commercial aircraft, the potential for an efficient 2.5 g maneuver is very remote.
Furthermore, as G Load information is not continuously provided in the cockpit, airline pilots are
not used to controlling this parameter. This is further evidenced by inflight experience, which
reveals that: In emergency situations, initial PF reaction on a yoke or sidestick is hesitant, then
aggressive.
With load factor protection, the PF may immediately and instinctively pull the sidestick full aft: The
aircraft will initially fly a 2.5 g maneuver without losing time. Then, if the PF still needs to maintain
the sidestick full aft stick, because the danger still exists, then the high AOA protection will take
over. Load factor protection enhances this high AOA protection.
Load factor protection enables immediate PF reaction, without any risk of overstressing the
aircraft.
Flight experience has also revealed that an immediate 2.5 g reaction provides larger obstacle
clearance, than a hesitant and delayed high G Load maneuver (two-second delay).

PITCH ATTITUDE PROTECTION
Excessive pitch attitudes, caused by upsets or inappropriate maneuvers, lead to hazardous
situations:
• Too high a nose-up ▸ Very rapid energy loss
• Too low a nose-down ▸ Very rapid energy gain
Furthermore, there is no emergency situation that requires flying at excessive attitudes. For these
reasons, pitch attitude protection limits pitch attitude:
‐ 30 ° nose up in conf 0 to 3 (progressively reduced to 25 ° at low speed).
‐ 25 ° nose up in conf FULL (progressively reduced to 20 ° at low speed).
‐ 15 ° nose down (indicated by green symbols “=” on the PFD’s pitch scale).
The flight director bars disappear from the PFD when the pitch attitude exceeds 25 ° up or 13 °
down. They return to the display when the pitch angle returns to the region between 22 ° up and
10 ° down.
Pitch attitude protection enhances high speed protection, high load factor protection, and high
AOA protection.
Ident.: DSC-27-20-10-20-A-00001075.0002001 / 17 MAR 17
HIGH ANGLE-OF-ATTACK PROTECTION
In the normal law, the aircraft is protected against stall, in dynamic maneuvers or gusts. When the
current angle-of-attack becomes greater than αPROT , the high angle-of-attack (AOA) protection
activates.
Without pilot input, the F/CTL computers will maintain the AOA equal to αPROT . The AOA can
be further increased by the pilot input, up to a maximum value equal to αMAX . When the High
AOA protection is activated, the normal law demand is modified and the side stick input is an
angle-of-attack demand, instead of a load factor demand.
The PF must not deliberately fly the aircraft in the High AOA, except for brief periods, when
maximum maneuvering speed is required.

Airbus AOA Protection
Vα PROT , Vα floor, Vα MAX are mainly computed based on the AOA, and therefore they vary
with configuration, weight and load factor.
Refer to DSC-22_10-50-20 Characteristic Speedsfor more information.
The angle-of-attack will not exceed αMAX , even if the pilot gently pulls the sidestick all the
way back. The pilot can hold full back stick, if it is needed, and the aircraft stabilizes at an
angle-of-attack close to but less than the 1 g stall. When flying at αMAX , the PF can make gentle
turns, if necessary. If the pilot releases the sidestick, the angle-of-attack returns to αPROT and
stays there. As the aircraft enters protection at the amber and black strip (αPROT), the system
inhibits further nose-up trim beyond the point already reached. The nose-down trim remains
available, if the pilot pushes the stick forward.
Note: At takeoff, the αPROT is equal to the αMAX for 5 s.
This High AOA protection has priority over all other protections.
The aircraft can also enter αPROT at a high flight level, where it protects the aircraft from the
buffet boundary. As at a low speed or low flight level, if the sidestick is merely released to neutral,
the aircraft maintains the alpha for αPROT . This value of alpha is not the same as the value used
at the low speed. Alpha for αPROT is reduced as a function of Mach, so that a typical cruise value
is about 3.5 ° for the A318 and A321 aircraft, or 4.5 ° for the A319 and A320 aircraft. Therefore,
the aircraft may climb with the sidestick free, when leaving a turn after entering αPROT.

FCOM ← D → 22 MAR 17
If the pilot flies into αPROT , he should leave it as soon as other considerations allow, by easing
forward on the sidestick to reduce alpha below the value of αPROT, while simultaneously adding
power (if the αfloor has not yet been activated, or cancelled).
To deactivate the angle of attack protection, the pilot must push the sidestick:
‐ Greater than 8 ° forward, or,
‐ Greater than 0.5 ° for at least 0.5 s when α < αMAX.
In addition, below 200 ft, the angle of attack protection is also deactivated, when:
‐ Sidestick deflection is less than half nose-up, and
‐ Actual α is less than αPROT – 2 °.
Between the αPROT and αMAX , αfloor protection may automatically set the go-around thrust.
The αfloor will usually be triggered just after entering αPROT , and the go-around thrust will
automatically be applied. Therefore, if the sidestick is held aft, either inadvertently or deliberately,
the aircraft will start to climb at a relatively constant low airspeed. To recover a normal flight
condition, the αPROT should be exited by easing forward on the sidestick, as described above,
and the αfloor should be cancelled by using the disconnect pushbutton on either thrust lever
as soon as a safe speed is regained. Refer to DSC-22_40-30 Alpha-Floor Protectionfor more
information.
GPWS / WINDSHEAR CASE:
In the case of application of GPWS or windshear procedures, aircraft protections provide
maximum lift / maximum thrust / minimum drag. Therefore, CFIT escape manoeuvres will be
much more efficient.

Protected A/C Versus Non-protected A/C Go-around Trajectory
The above-illustrated are typical trajectories flown by protected or not protected aircraft, when
the PF applies the escape procedure after an aural “ GPWS PULL UP” alert.
The graph demonstrates the efficiency of the protection, to ensure a duck-under that is 50 %
lower, a bucket-distance that is 50 % shorter, a safety margin that more than doubles (due to
a quicker reaction time), and a significant altitude gain (± 250 ft). These characteristics are
common to all protected aircraft, because the escape procedure is easy to achieve, and enables
the PF to fly the aircraft at a constant AOA , close to the max AOA . It is much more difficult to
fly the stick shaker AOA on an aircraft that is not protected.
Ident.: DSC-27-20-10-20-A-00001076.0002001 / 17 MAR 17
HIGH SPEED PROTECTION
The aircraft automatically recovers, following a high speed upset. Depending on the flight
conditions (high acceleration, low pitch attitude), High Speed Protection is activated at/or above
VMO /MMO.
When it is activated, the THS setting is limited between the setting at the aircraft’s entry into this
protection and 11 ° nose-up. Positive spiral static stability is introduced to 0 ° bank angle (instead
of 33 ° in normal law), so that with the sidestick released, the aircraft always returns to a bank
angle of 0 °. The bank angle limit is reduced from 67 °to 40 °.
As the speed increases above VMO /MMO, the sidestick nose-down authority is progressively
reduced, and a permanent nose-up order is applied to aid recovery to normal flight conditions.

Therefore, in a dive situation:
• If there is no sidestick input on the sidestick, the aircraft will slightly overshoot VMO /MMO and
fly back towards the envelope.
• If the sidestick is maintained full forward, the aircraft will significantly overshoot VMO /MMO . At
approximately VMO +16 / MMO +0.04, the pitch nose-down authority smoothly reduces to zero
(which does not mean that the aircraft stabilizes at that speed).
The PF, therefore, has full authority to perform a high speed/steep dive escape maneuver, when
required, via a reflex action on the sidestick.
High Speed Protection is deactivated, when the aircraft speed decreases below VMO /MMO,
where the usual normal control laws are recovered.
The autopilot disconnects at VMO + 15 kt and MMO + 0.04.

Lateral Control
NORMAL LAW
Ident.: DSC-27-20-10-30-00001078.0001001 / 17 MAR 17
Applicable to: ALL
When the aircraft is on the ground (in “on ground” mode), the sidestick commands the aileron and roll
spoiler surface deflection. The amount of control surface deflection that results from a given amount
of sidestick deflection depends upon aircraft speed. The pedals control rudder deflection through a
direct mechanical linkage. The aircraft smoothly transitions to “in flight” mode shortly after liftoff.
When the aircraft is in the “in flight” mode, normal law combines control of the ailerons, spoilers
(except N° 1 spoilers), and rudder (for turn coordination) in the sidestick. The pilot does not need to
use the rudder for turn coordination. While the system thereby gives the pilot control of the roll and
heading, it also limits the roll rate and bank angle, coordinates the turns, and damps the dutch roll.
The roll rate requested by the pilot during flight is proportional to the sidestick deflection, with a
maximum rate of 15 °/s when the sidestick is at the stop.
When the aircraft is in “flare” mode, the lateral control is the same as in “in flight” mode.
After touchdown, the aircraft smoothly transitions from “in flight” mode to “ground” mode.
BANK ANGLE PROTECTION
Ident.: DSC-27-20-10-30-00001079.0001001 / 17 MAR 17
Applicable to: ALL
Inside the normal flight envelope, the system maintains positive spiral static stability for bank angles
above 33 °. If the pilot releases the sidestick at a bank angle greater than 33 °, the bank angle
automatically reduces to 33 °. Up to 33 °, the system holds the roll attitude constant when the
sidestick is at neutral. If the pilot holds full lateral sidestick deflection, the bank angle goes to 67 ° and
no further.
If Angle-of-Attack protection is active, and the pilot maintains full lateral deflection on the sidestick,
the bank angle will not go beyond 45 °. If High Speed Protection is active, and the pilot maintains full
lateral deflection on the sidestick, the bank angle will not go beyond 40 °. If high speed protection is
operative, the system maintains positive spiral static stability from a bank angle of 0 °, so that with
the sidestick released, the aircraft always returns to a bank angle of 0 °.
When bank angle protection is active, auto trim is inoperative.
If the bank angle exceeds 45 °, the autopilot disconnects and the FD bars disappear. The FD bars
return when the bank angle decreases to less than 40 °.

• It is not necessary to make a pitch correction
• It is not necessary to use the rudder.
In the case of steep turns (bank angle greater than 33 °), the PF must apply:
• Lateral pressure on the sidestick to maintain bank
• Aft pressure on the sidestick to maintain level flight.

SIDESLIP TARGET
Ident.: DSC-27-20-10-50-00001081.0001001 / 17 MAR 17
Applicable to: ALL
If one engine fails, the FAC modifies the sideslip indication slightly to show the pilot how much rudder
to use to get the best climb performance (ailerons to neutral and spoilers retracted).
In the case of an engine failure at takeoff, or at go-around, the sideslip index on the PFD changes
from yellow to blue (to provide the conditions for the blue display of the sideslip target, Refer to
DSC-31-40 Attitude Data).
In flight, the lateral normal law commands some rudder surface deflection to minimize the sideslip.
The pilot’s response is normal and instinctive: zero the slip indication by applying the right amount of
rudder to get the best climb performance.

When the aircraft is :
‐ In normal cruise range (around M .77),
‐ In straight flight,
‐ With the autopilot engaged,
‐ With symmetrical engine thrust, and
‐ With fuel in the wing tanks distributed symmetrically,
the rudder trim should stay between 1 ° right and 2.3 ° left.
Note: This indication corresponds to a true rudder deflection within ± 1.5 °, taking into account the
permanent offset of rudder trim indication, when the aircraft is in cruise conditions. (average
0.5 ° right, 0.8 ° left).
An indicated, rudder trim above 1 ° right or 2.3 ° left is acceptable, if maintenance personnel
establishes that the corresponding real rudder position is within 1.5 ° left, and 1.5 ° right.

FLARE MODE
In pitch alternate law the flight mode changes to the flare mode when the pilot selects landing
gear down. The flare mode is a direct stick-to-elevator relationship. (Refer to DSC-27-20-20
Direct Law).
LATERAL CONTROL
When the aircraft flying in pitch alternate law, lateral control follows the roll direct law associated
with yaw alternate or mechanical.
ROLL DIRECT LAW
Refer to DSC-27-20-20 Direct Law.
YAW ALTERNATE LAW
Only the yaw damping function is available. Damper authority is limited to ±5 ° of rudder
deflection.
REDUCED PROTECTIONS
LOAD FACTOR LIMITATION
The load factor limitation is similar to that under normal law.
PITCH ATTITUDE PROTECTION
There is no pitch attitude protection. Amber Xs replace the green double bars “=” on the PFD.
LOW SPEED STABILITY
An artificial low speed stability replaces the normal angle-of-attack protection. It is available
for all slat/flap configurations, and the low speed stability is active from about 5 kt up to about
10 kt above stall warning speed, depending on the aircraft’s gross weight and slats/flaps
configuration.
A gentle progressive nose down signal is introduced, which tends to keep the speed from falling
below these values. The pilot can override this demand.
The system also injects bank-angle compensation, so that operation effectively maintains a
constant angle of attack.
In addition, audio stall warnings (crickets + “STALL” synthetic voice message) is activated at an
appropriate margin from the stall condition.
The PFD speed scale is modified to show a black/red barber pole below the stall warning.
The α floor protection is inoperative.

It is a compromise between adequate controllability with the CG forward, and not-too-sensitive
control with the CG aft.
There is no automatic trim : the pilot must trim manually.
The PFD displays in amber the message “USE MAN PITCH TRIM”.
No protections are operative.
The α floor function is inoperative.
Overspeed and stall warnings are available as for alternate law.
LATERAL CONTROL
When flying in “direct law”, the roll direct law associated with mechanical yaw control governs
lateral control.
ROLL DIRECT LAW
The roll direct law is a direct stick-to-surface-position relationship. System gains are set
automatically to correspond to slat/flap configuration.
With the aircraft in the clean configuration, the maximum roll rate is about 30 °/s.
With slats extended, it is about 25 °/s.
To limit roll rate, the roll direct law uses only ailerons and spoilers N° 4 and 5.
If spoiler N° 4 has failed, spoiler N° 3 replaces it.
If the ailerons have failed, all roll spoilers become active.
YAW MECHANICAL CONTROL
The pilot controls yaw with the rudder pedals.
The yaw damping and turn coordination functions are lost.
ABNORMAL ATTITUDE LAWS
Ident.: DSC-27-20-20-00001087.0002001 / 18 JAN 17
Applicable to: ALL
If for any reason the aircraft goes far outside the normal flight envelope and reaches an extreme
attitude, the flight control law will be modified.
The abnormal attitude law will engage and will provide the PF with maximum efficiency to recover
normal attitude.
L2 The abnormal attitude law engages when one of the following values is reached:
‐ Bank angle above 125 °
‐ Pitch attitude above 50 ° nose up or below 30 ° nose down
‐ Speed below 60 to 90 kt (depending on the aircraft pitch attitude), or above 440 kt
‐ Mach above 0.91

Controls the rudder trim actuator, which moves the neutral point of the artificial feel by the
equivalent of one degree of rudder travel per second.
Note: The rudder trim rotary selector has no effect, when the autopilot is engaged.
(2) RESET pb
By pushing the RESET pb, the zero trim position is ordered at 1.5 °/s.
After the reset, an indication of up to 0.3° (L or R) may be observed in the rudder trim position
indication.
Note: The RESET pb is not active, when the autopilot is engaged.
(3) Position Indicator
Displays the rudder trim direction (L or R) and value.
(4) SPEEDBRAKE lever
The lever controls:
‐ The position of the speedbrake surfaces.
To set speedbrake surfaces to a required position, the lever has to be pushed down and set
to the required position. A “hardpoint” is provided at “½” SPEEDBRAKE position.
‐ The manual preselection of the ground spoilers.
To arm the ground spoilers, the lever must be pulled up when in the RET position.
When the lever is armed (or reverse thrust is selected), all spoiler's surfaces will
automatically extend at landing, or in case of a rejected takeoff.
(5) PITCH TRIM Wheel
Both pitch trim wheels provide mechanical control of the THS and have priority over electrical
control. A pilot action on the pitch trim wheel disconnects the autopilot.
Note: Crew action on the pitch trim wheel does not disconnect the ELACs (micro-switches,
actuated by the override mechanism, ensure that the computers remain synchronized
with the manually-selected position).

The THS is manually-controlled on ground for the THS setting, before takeoff and in flight,
when in direct law.
‐ Before takeoff, the pilot sets the THS to the angular value, determined as a function of the
aircraft CG , using the CG scale on the wheel. The relationship between the aircraft CG and
the THS setting shown on the trim wheel is only applicable for takeoff. The limits of the THS
normal setting range for takeoff are indicated by a green band on the pitch trim wheel.
‐ In flight, when in direct law, the pilot uses the THS conventionally to fly in trim. In flight, the
aircraft pitch trim setting depends on aircraft CG , weight, altitude and speed. Consequently,
the relation between the aircraft CG , and the THS setting displayed on the pitch trim wheel,
does not apply in flight.
Following nosewheel touchdown, as the pitch attitude becomes less than 2.5 ° for more than
5 s, pitch trim is automatically reset to zero.
Note: This function is inoperative, when the green or yellow hydraulic system is not
pressurized.

Applicable to: ALL
SIDESTICKS
Each pilot has on his lateral console a sidestick he can use to control pitch and roll manually. Each
sidestick is springloaded to neutral.
When the autopilot is engaged, a solenoid-operated detent locks both sidesticks in the neutral
position. If the pilot applies a force above a given threshold (5 daN in pitch, 3.5 daN in roll) the
stick becomes free and the autopilot disengages.
The hand grip has two switches:
‐ Autopilot disconnect and sidestick takeover pushbutton.
‐ Push-to-talk button.

Sidestick priority logic
‐ When only one pilot operates the sidestick, it sends his control signals to the computers.
‐ When the pilots move both side stick simultaneously in the same or opposite direction and
neither takes priority, the system adds the signals of both pilots algebraically. The total is limited
to the signal that would result from the maximum deflection of a single sidestick.
Note: In the event of simultaneous input on both sidesticks (2 ° deflection off the neutral
position in any direction) the two green SIDE STICK PRIORITY lights on the
glareshield come on and “DUAL INPUT” voice message is activated.
A pilot can deactivate the other stick and take full control by pressing and keeping pressed his
priority takeover pushbutton.
For latching the priority condition, it is recommended to press the takeover push button for more
than 40 s.
This allows the pilot to release his takeover push button without losing priority.
However, a pilot can at any time reactivate a deactivated stick by momentarily pressing the
takeover push button on either stick.
If both pilots press their takeover pushbuttons, the pilot that presses last gets priority.
In case of a "SIDE STICK FAULT" ECAM warning, due to an electrical failure, the affected
sidestick order (sent to the computer) is forced to zero. This automatically deactivates the affected
sidestick. This explains why there is no procedure associated with this warning.
Note: If an autopilot is engaged, any action on a takeover pushbutton disengages it.
In a priority situation
‐ A red light comes on in front of the pilot whose stick is deactivated.
‐ A green light comes on in front of the pilot who has taken control, if the other stick is not in the
neutral position (to indicate a potential and unwanted control demand).
Note: If the aircraft is on the ground and commencing its takeoff run and one stick is
deactivated, this triggers the takeoff “CONFIG” warning.

GENERAL
Ident.: DSC-27-30-10-00001097.0001001 / 21 MAR 16
Applicable to: ALL
Each wing has the following lift augmentation devices :
‐ Two flap surfaces.
‐ Five slat surfaces.
These surfaces are electrically controlled and hydraulically operated.
The pilot extends slats and flaps by moving the FLAPS lever on the center pedestal.
It has five positions.
MAIN COMPONENTS
Ident.: DSC-27-30-10-00001098.0001001 / 21 MAR 16
Applicable to: ALL
The slat and flap systems are similar, comprising :
‐ Two slat flap control computers (SFCCs), each containing one slat channel and one flap channel.
‐ A power control unit (PCU) consisting of two independent hydraulic motors coupled by a
differential gearbox.
The motors use green and blue hydraulic power for the slats and yellow and green power for the
flaps.
Pressure-off brakes (POBs) lock the transmission when the slat or flap surfaces have reached the
selected position or if hydraulic power fails.
‐ Five slat surfaces and two flap surfaces per wing.
‐ An assymetry position pick-off unit (APPU) that measures the assymetry between the left and right
wings.
‐ A flap disconnect detection system, which detects attachment failure and inhibits flap operation in
order to prevent further damage. A sensor detects the failure by measuring excessive differential
movement between the inner and the outer flaps.
‐ Wingtip brakes (WTBs), activated in case of assymetry, mechanism overspeed, symmetrical
runaway, or uncommanded movement of the surfaces. They cannot be released in flight.
They use blue and green hydraulic power for the slats and for the right wing flaps, and blue and
yellow hydraulic power for the left wing flaps.
‐ Feedback position pick-off units (FPPU s) that feed back position information to the SFCCs.
‐ An instrumentation position pick-off unit (IPPU ) that sends position data to the ECAM.

CONFIGURATIONS
Ident.: DSC-27-30-10-00001100.0001001 / 09 OCT 12
Applicable to: ALL
The FLAPS lever has five positions: 0, 1, 2, 3 and FULL.
Two configurations correspond to position 1: Configuration 1 and Configuration 1 + F.
The pilot selects these as follows:
(1) When in Configuration 1 + F, the flaps retract to 0 ° automatically at 210 kt (before the airspeed
reaches VFE).
(2) When in configuration 1, the flaps extend to 10 ° automatically at 100 kt.
ALPHA/SPEED LOCK FUNCTION (SLATS)
Ident.: DSC-27-30-10-00001101.0001001 / 13 SEP 16
Applicable to: ALL
This function inhibits slat retraction at high angles-of-attack and low speeds.
The SFCC s use corrected angle-of-attack (alpha) or airspeed information from the ADIRUs to inhibit
slat retraction.
When the FLAPS lever is set to 0, the slats alpha/speed lock function activates and inhibits slats
retraction, if:
‐ The AOA is above 8.5 °, or
‐ The speed is less than 148 kt.

Once the slats alpha/speed lock function is active, the slats retract to 0 when:
‐ The AOA is less than 7.6 ° and
‐ The speed is above 154 kt.
Note: When the aircraft is on ground and its speed is less than 60 kt, then the function will not

TANK PUMPS
In normal operation each engine is supplied by one pump in the center tank or two pumps in its
own side inner tank.
All wing tank pumps remain on throughout the flight. They are fitted with pressure relief sequence
valves which ensure that, when all pumps are running, the center tank pumps will deliver fuel
preferentially.

CENTER TANK FUEL TRANSFER
The center tank feeds fuel to the engines, when the center tank pumps are not stopped by the
control logic described below. The inner tanks feed the engines when the center tank pumps are
stopped.
CENTER TANK TRANSFER VALVE CONTROL LOGIC
Each center tank pump stops, until approximately 500 kg (1 100 lb ) of the fuel in its associated
inner tank fuel has been used (when the fuel level reaches the underfull sensors).
With the MODE SEL in the MAN position, the center tank pumps will run. In manual mode, the
CTR TK PUMP pb-sw must be selected OFF, when the center tank is empty.
FUEL TRANSFER FROM OUTER TO INNER TANKS
The transfer valves automatically open, when the inner tank fuel reaches the low level (about
750 kg/1 650 lb), thus enabling the fuel to drain from the outer to inner tanks.
When open, the valves are latched open. They will automatically close at the next refueling
operation.
Note: 1. Two level sensors are installed in each inner tank. Each sensor controls two transfer
valves, one in each wing, ensuring simultaneous transfer to both wings.
2. The 750 kg/1 650 lb value is based on a level aircraft attitude, with no acceleration.
During steep descent or accelerations/decelerations, the transfer valves may open
with more than 750 kg/1 650 lb of fuel in each inner tank, and the low level warning
may be triggered.
IF THE AIRCRAFT HAS ONE ACT : ACT TO CENTER TANK TRANSFER
ACT transfer automatically starts after takeoff at slats' retraction, if the center tank high-level
sensor has been dry for 10 min, and the ACT is not empty.
Fuel transfers from the ACT to the center tank via pressurization of the tank, by closing the ACT
vent valve and opening the air shutoff valve.
When the ACT is empty, the ACT transfer valve, the air shutoff valve and inlet valve close, and the
ACT vent valve opens.
Note: ACT transfer stops, if the center tank high level becomes wet, by closing the ACTs
transfer valve. The transfer valve reopens when the center tank high-level sensor
becomes dry for 10 min.
Selecting the ACT pb-sw to FWD opens the ACT transfer valve, the ACT inlet valve, and starts the
ACT transfer pump. It must be returned to AUTO, when the ACT is empty.
Center tank overflow is prevented, by returning the ACT pb-sw to AUTO, when the center tank is
full.

IF THE AIRCRAFT HAS TWO ACTS : ACT 1 + 2 TO CENTER TANK TRANSFER
ACT transfer automatically starts after takeoff at slats' retraction, if the center tank high-level
sensor has been dry for 10 min, and the ACT is not empty.
Fuel transfers from the ACT to the center tank via pressurization of the tank, by closing the ACT
vent valve and opening the air shutoff valve.
ACT2 transfers first, via the ACT transfer valve and the ACT2 inlet valve.
When ACT2 is empty, the ACT2 inlet valve shuts, and the ACT1 inlet valve opens.
When ACT1 is empty, the ACT transfer valve and ACT1 inlet valve close.
When the aircraft is on ground after landing, the air shutoff valve closes and both ACT vent valves
open, depressurizing the ACTs.
Note: ACT transfer stop, if the center tank high level becomes wet, by closing the ACT transfer
valve. The transfer valve reopens when the center tank high-level sensor becomes dry
for 10 min.
Selecting the ACT pb-sw to FWD opens the ACT transfer valve and starts the ACT transfer pump.
ACT2 empties first, then ACT1. It must be returned to AUTO, when the ACT is empty.
Center tank overflow is prevented, by returning the ACT pb-sw to AUTO, when the center tank is

Refer to DSC-70-40 IDG Cooling System.
Some of the fuel supplied to each engine goes from the high-pressure fuel line in that engine,
through the integrated drive generator (IDG) heat exchanger (where it absorbs heat), to the fuel
return valve and back to the outer fuel tank.
This operation ensures the IDG cooling when the oil temperature is high or when at low engine
power.
The FADEC controls the fuel return valve.
If the outer tank is already full, the fuel overflows to the inner tank through a spill pipe. On ground, the
fuel recirculation is not inhibited if there is an overflow in the surge tanks (Refer to DSC-70-40 IDG
Cooling System).
If the FUEL MODE SEL pb-sw is in AUTO mode:
If center tank is feeding, the wing tank will tend to overfill and the system automatically selects
the CTR TK PUMP off when the inner tank is full. The wing tank pumps will feed until the engine

have used approximately 500 kg (1 100 lb) of fuel when the fuel level reaches the underfull

If the FUEL MODE SEL pb-sw is in MAN mode:
If center tank is feeding, the wing tanks will tend to overfill but the system does not automatically
select the CTR TK PUMPs OFF when the inner tank is full. Therefore, an overflow of the wing
tanks can occur on ground if the CTR TK PUMPs are not switched OFF.

Applicable to: ALL
‐ During automatic refueling, fuel goes into the ACTs , the center tank and the outer cell of the
wing tanks simultaneously. When the outer cell of the wing tank is full, fuel overflows into the inner
cell. During manual refueling, fill the wing tanks first, then the center tank, then the ACTs .
‐ Electrical transients (caused by switching among the APU, the external and the engine electrical
supply) during automatic refueling may stop the process. If the automatic refueling process is
stopped, it is necessary to re-enter the Preselected Fuel Quantity.
‐ One (two) refueling point(s) is (are) installed under the wings, enabling the aircraft to be refueled
from either the right or left (if installed) side.
‐ A refuel panel is located on the fuselage side beneath the right wing, or under the right or left wing
adjacent to the refuel coupling.
‐ Another refuel panel is located on the cockpit overhead maintenance panel.
‐ A "READY FOR FUELING" green light is installed adjacent to the refuel coupling.
A gallery connects the refuel coupling to each tank's refuel valve.
Refueling is normally automatic, the required fuel load being set on the preselector.
Manual control is also available.
Automatic refueling starts with the outer tanks. If the selected fuel load exceeds the wing tank
capacity, the center tank is simultaneously refueled.
When an outer tank is full, the fuel overflows into the inner tank through a spill pipe.
Refuel valves close automatically, when the tanks contain the preselected load, or when sensors
detect a high fuel level.
The aircraft can be refueled, when only battery power is available.
The wing tanks can be refueled by gravity, through refueling points on top of the wings.

FUEL QUANTITY INDICATION (FQI) SYSTEM
Ident.: DSC-28-10-80-00001123.0001001 / 10 DEC 09
Applicable to: ALL
The FQI is a computerized system that :
‐ transmits the actual total fuel mass, as well as the quantity and temperature of fuel in the tanks, to
the ECAM.
‐ controls automatic refueling.
Two channels perform fuel computations : channel 2 activates automatically if channel 1 fails.
The FQI system has :
‐ an FQI computer.
‐ a set of capacitance probes in each tank to measure fuel level and temperature.
‐ one densitometer (cadensicon) sensor in each wing inner tank permitting the calculation of the fuel
quantity.
‐ one Capacitance Index Compensator (CIC) in each inner tank giving the dielectric constant of the
fuel in case of cadensicon failure.
‐ a quantity indicator for each tank installed on the refuel/defuel panel.
‐ a preselector on the refuel/defuel panel that shows the preselected and actual total fuel quantity.
FUEL LEVEL SENSING CONTROL UNIT (FLSCU)
Ident.: DSC-28-10-80-00001124.0001001 / 16 MAR 15
Applicable to: ALL
The fuel level system generates fuel-level and fuel-temperature signals in order to operate the
appropriate switching functions for refueling and defueling and control the IDG cooling recirculation
system and the center-tank-to-wing-tank fuel transfer system.
The FLSCU comprises :
‐ fuel level sensors in the tanks to sense high, low, and overflow levels.
‐ a fuel temperature sensor to control the IDG cooling recirculation.
When fuel quantity in one wing tank goes below 750 kg (1 650 lb), the low-level sensor triggers
the LO LVL warning on ECAM. The LO LVL warning is totally independent from the displayed fuel
quantity indication of the tank.

GREEN SYSTEM PUMP
Ident.: DSC-29-10-20-00001134.0001001 / 21 MAR 16
Applicable to: ALL
A pump driven by engine 1 pressurizes the green system.
BLUE SYSTEM PUMPS
Ident.: DSC-29-10-20-00001135.0001001 / 21 MAR 16
Applicable to: ALL
An electric pump pressurizes the blue system. A pump driven by a ram air turbine (RAT) pressurizes
this system in an emergency.
YELLOW SYSTEM PUMPS
Ident.: DSC-29-10-20-00001136.0001001 / 21 MAR 16
Applicable to: ALL
A pump driven by engine 2 pressurizes the yellow system.
An electric pump can also pressurize the yellow system, which allows yellow hydraulics to be used
on the ground when the engines are stopped.
Crew members can also use a hand pump to pressurize the yellow system in order to operate the
cargo doors when no electrical power is available.
POWER TRANSFER UNIT (PTU)
Ident.: DSC-29-10-20-00001137.0001001 / 21 MAR 16
Applicable to: ALL
A bidirectional power transfer unit enables the yellow system to pressurize the green system and vice
versa.
The power transfer unit comes into action automatically when the differential pressure between the
green and the yellow systems is greater than 500 PSI.
The PTU therefore allows the green system to be pressurized on the ground when the engines are
stopped.

RAM AIR TURBINE (RAT)
Ident.: DSC-29-10-20-00001138.0001001 / 21 MAR 16
Applicable to: ALL
A drop-out RAT coupled to a hydraulic pump allows the blue system to function if electrical power is
lost or both engines fail. The RAT deploys automatically if AC BUS 1 and AC BUS 2 are both lost. It
can be deployed manually from the overhead panel. It can be stowed only when the aircraft is on the
ground.
SYSTEM ACCUMULATORS
Ident.: DSC-29-10-20-00001139.0001001 / 21 MAR 16
Applicable to: ALL
An accumulator in each system helps to maintain a constant pressure by covering transient demands
during normal operation.
PRIORITY VALVES
Ident.: DSC-29-10-20-00001141.0001001 / 21 MAR 16
Applicable to: ALL

LEAK MEASUREMENT VALVES
Ident.: DSC-29-10-20-00001143.0001001 / 21 MAR 16
Applicable to: ALL
Each system has a leak measurement valve upstream of the primary flight controls.
These valves, which measure the leakage in each circuit, are closed by operation of the LEAK
MEASUREMENT VALVES pushbutton switch on the maintenance panel.
FILTERS
Ident.: DSC-29-10-20-00001144.0001001 / 21 MAR 16
Applicable to: ALL
L3 Filters clean the hydraulic fluid as follows :
‐ HP filters on each system and on the reservoir filling system and the normal braking system
‐ return line filters on each line
‐ case drain filters on engine pumps and the blue electric pump (which permit maintenance crew to
monitor pump wear by inspecting the filters for the presence of metallic particles).

Normally, HP bleed air from engine 1 pressurizes the hydraulic reservoirs automatically.
If the bleed air pressure is too low, the system takes bleed air pressure from the crossbleed duct.
The systems maintain a high enough pressure to prevent their pumps from cavitating.

Applicable to: ALL
In flight, hot air from the pneumatic system heats the three outboard slats (3-4-5) of each wing.
Air is supplied through one valve in each wing.
The WING pushbutton on the ANTI ICE panel controls the valves.
When the aircraft is on ground, the flight crew can initiate a 30 s test sequence by turning the system
ON.
If the system detects a leak during normal operation, the affected side’s wing anti-ice valve
automatically closes (Refer to DSC-36-10-50 Leak Detection).
When wing anti-ice is selected, the N1 or EPR limit is automatically reduced, and the idle N1 or EPR
is automatically increased.
If the electrical power supply fails, the valves close.

An independent air bleed from the high pressure compressor protects each engine nacelle from ice.
Air is supplied through a two-position (open and closed) valve that the flight crew controls with two
pushbuttons, one for each engine.
The valve automatically closes, if air is unavailable (engine not running).
When an engine anti-ice valve is open, the N1 or EPR limit is automatically reduced and, if
necessary, the idle N1 or EPR is automatically increased for both engines in order to provide the
required pressure.
If electrical power fails, the valves open.

Applicable to: ALL
The aircraft uses electrical heating for anti-icing each windshield and defogging the cockpit side
windows.
Two independent Window Heat Computers (WHCs), one on each side, automatically regulate the
system, protect it against overheating, and indicate faults.
Window heating comes on:
‐ automatically when at least one engine is running, or when the aircraft is in flight.
‐ manually, before engine start, when the flight crew switches ON the PROBE/WINDOW HEAT
pushbutton switch.
Windshield heating operates at low power on the ground and at normal power in flight. The
changeover is automatic.
Only one heating level exists for the windows.

and computers, and send it to the display units. The display units then generate and display the
applicable images. Each DMC has a single DMC channel, and can simultaneously supply one PFD ,
one ND and both ECAM display units (E/WD and SD).
SYSTEM DATA ACQUISITION CONCENTRATOR (SDAC)
Ident.: DSC-31-05-30-00001186.0001001 / 21 MAR 16
Applicable to: ALL
The two identical SDAC s acquire data, then generate signals. Some of these signals go to the three
DMC s, which use them to generate displays of system pages and engines parameters. Others go to
the flight warning computers, which use them to generate ECAM messages and aural alerts.
FLIGHT WARNING COMPUTER (FWC)
Ident.: DSC-31-05-30-00001187.0001001 / 13 JAN 14
Applicable to: ALL
The two identical FWCs generate alert messages, memos, aural alerts, and synthetic voice
messages. For this purpose they acquire data:
‐ Directly from aircraft sensors, or systems, to generate red warnings
‐ Through the SDACs to generate amber cautions.
The ECAM display units display the alert messages generated by the FWCs.
The FWCs also generate:
‐ Radio height callouts
‐ Decision height callouts
‐ Landing distance and landing speed increments.

PRIORITY RULES
Ident.: DSC-31-10-00001204.0001001 / 17 MAR 17
Applicable to: ALL
There are three priority levels for warnings and cautions :
- A level 3 warning has priority over a level 2 caution which has priority over a level 1 caution.
The FWC observes these priorities.
INFORMATION PROVIDED WHEN NEEDED
One of the main advantages of the ECAM is that it displays applicable information to the flight
crew, on an "as needed" basis. The following outlines the ECAM’s operating modes:
•Normal Mode:
Automatically displays systems and memos, in accordance with the flight phase.
•Failure Mode:
Automatically displays the appropriate emergency/abnormal procedures, in addition to their
associated system synoptic.
•Advisory Mode:
Automatically displays the appropriate system synoptic, associated with a drifting parameter.
•Manual Mode:
Enables the flight crew to manually select any system synoptic via the ECAM Control Panel
(ECP).
Most warnings and cautions are inhibited during critical phases of flight (T/O INHIBIT – LDG
INHIBIT), because most system failures will not affect the aircraft’s ability to continue a takeoff or
landing.
TYPES OF FAILURES
Ident.: DSC-31-10-00001205.0001001 / 21 MAR 16
Applicable to: ALL
Independent : a failure that affects an isolated system or item of equipment without degrading the
performance of others in the aircraft.
Primary : a failure of a system or an item of equipment that costs the aircraft the use of other
systems or items of equipment.
Secondary : the loss of a system or an item of equipment resulting from a primary failure.

The lower part of the DU , dedicated to ECAM messages, is divided into two sections that have
several lines each.
Bottom left : ‐ Primary or independent warnings and cautions, or
‐ Memo information.
Bottom right : ‐ Title of the system affected by a primary or independent warning or caution,
in the case of overflow on the bottom left part, or
‐ Secondary failure, or
‐ Memo, or
‐ Special lines (such as “AP OFF”, “LAND ASAP”).
As soon as the FWC detects a failure, and if there is no flight phase inhibition active, the E/WD
displays the title of the failure and actions that the flight crew must perform.
The action line automatically clears, when the flight crew has performed the necessary action.
Note: Some action lines do not disappear from the E/WD even after the flight crew performs the
necessary action.

GENERAL
Ident.: DSC-31-27-00001226.0001001 / 21 MAR 16
Applicable to: ALL
The OEB reminder function provides operational help to the crew by enabling them to clearly identify
(on the ECAM) all procedures and status messages affected by an OEB.
When a situation leading to a warning/caution occurs, a message informs the crew in real time that
an OEB exists for the displayed warning and/or status and, consequently, that the procedure and/or
status presented on the ECAM is not applicable.
Then the crew must refer to the QRH where the correct information is provided.

(3) RCL pb
‐ When pressed, the E/WD displays all alerts previously cleared via the CLR pb that are still
active.
‐ When pressed for more than 3 s, the E/WD displays:
• All alerts previously cleared via the CLR pb that are still active
• All alerts previously cancelled via the EMER CANC pb.
Note: 1. If there is no alert to recall, the “NORMAL” message appears for 3 s on the E/WD.
2. This action on the RCL pb also suppresses the flight phase inhibition function until
the next flight phase. As a consequence, all new alerts that should normally be
inhibited will be displayed.
(4) STS pb
The pilot pushes this pushbutton to display the STATUS page on the lower SD . The
pushbutton remains lit, as long as the SD displays the STS page. If the system has no status
messages, the status page displays “NORMAL” for 3 s.
The pilot can clear the STATUS page by pushing the CLR pb, or by pushing the STS pb a
second time.
When only one ECAM display is on :
‐ It displays the STATUS page only when the pilot pushes the STATUS pushbutton and holds
it. He can display the next STATUS page, if any, by releasing the pushbutton and pushing it
again (before 2 s have elapsed). The new page then appears after a short delay.
‐ The pilot can keep the STS pb pressed to display the STATUS page for a maximum of
3 min, after which the ECAM automatically displays the engine/warning page.
(5) CLR pb
This pushbutton remains lit as long as the E/WD is displaying a warning or caution message, or
a status message on the SD.
If it is lit, pressing it changes the ECAM display.
(6) ALL pb
When this pushbutton is pressed and held down, the SD successively displays all the system
pages at 3 s intervals.
If the ECAM control panel fails, the pilot can use this pushbutton to page through the system
pages until he comes to the one he wants to look at. He then releases the pushbutton to select
that page.

(7) EMER CANC pb
This pushbutton affects the following :
‐ Warnings :
• Cancels (stops) an aural warning for as long as the failure condition continues
• Extinguishes the MASTER WARNINGS lights
• Does not affect the ECAM message display.
‐ Cautions :
• Cancels any present caution (single chime, MASTER CAUTION lights, ECAM message)
for the rest of the flight.
The flight crew can press the RCL pb for more than 3 s in order to restore all the alerts
previously canceled via the EMER CANC pb.
All the alerts previously canceled via the EMER CANC pb automatically reappear on the E/WD
in flight phase 1 or 2, immediately after the alignment of IRs 1 and 2.
Note: This pushbutton should only be used to suppress spurious MASTER CAUTIONS.
(8) T.O CONFIG pb
This pushbutton simulates the application of takeoff power. This is a test that triggers a
warning, if the aircraft is not in takeoff configuration. (Refer to DSC-31-15 Configuration
Warnings).
If the configuration is correct, the E/WD displays the “TO CONFIG NORMAL” message in the
TO MEMO section.
Note: If the ECAM control panel fails, the CLR, RCL, STS, EMER CANC, and ALL
pushbuttons remain operative, because their contacts are directly wired to the flight
warning and display management computers.

An amber x replaces these symbols if the corresponding protection is lost.
(Refer to DSC-27-20-10-20 Protections - General)
(6) Sideslip Index (yellow)
This trapezoidal index moves beneath the roll index. On ground, it represents the lateral
acceleration of the aircraft. In flight, it shows sideslip (as computed by the FAC). One
centimeter of displacement indicates 0.2 g. The sideslip index is against its stop at 0.3 g.
In case of engine failure at takeoff or go around, the sideslip index changes from yellow to blue.
Note: The sideslip target is blue, if:
‐ CONF 1, 2, or 3 is selected, and
‐ Any ENG N1 > 80 %or one Thrust Lever > MCT (≥ FLX if FLX or DERATED TO),
and
‐ The difference between the ENG N1’s exceeds 35 %.
In this case, the sideslip index is called β target.
When this index is centered with the roll index, the sideslip equals the sideslip target for
optimum aircraft performance.

FLIGHT PATH VECTOR
Ident.: DSC-31-40-00001241.0001001 / 17 MAR 17
Applicable to: ALL
The Flight Path Vector (FPV ) is the flight reference with the TRK and FPA as basic guidance
parameters. When the TRK /FPA is selected on the FCU , the FPV appears on the PFD.
INFORMATION PRESENTATION
The FPV appears on the PFD as a symbol, known as the "bird". The bird indicates the track and
flight patch angle in relation to the ground.
The track is indicated on the PFD by a green diamond on the compass, in addition to the lateral
movement of the bird in relation to the fixed aircraft symbol. On the ND, the track is indicated
by a green diamond on the compass scale. The difference in angle between track and heading
indicates the drift.
The flight path angle is indicated on the PFD by the vertical movement of the bird in relation to the
pitch scale.
With the flight directors (FD ) ON, the Flight Path Director (FPD ) replaces the HDG -VS Flight
Director (FD ). With both FD pb set to OFF, the blue track index appears on the PFD horizon.

(1) Flight Path Vector (FPV)
This symbol appears, when the pilot selects TRK /FPA on the FCU.
The flight path vector represents the lateral and vertical trajectory of the aircraft with respect
to the ground.
‐ On the lateral scale, it indicates the aircraft’s track.
‐ On the vertical scale, it indicates the aircraft’s flight path angle.
Example : The aircraft flies a track of 009 ° (heading 360 °, wind from west) and descends
with a flight path angle of minus 7.5 °.
USE OF FPV
The bird is the flying reference that should be used when flying a stabilized segment of trajectory,
e.g.: non-precision approach when the FLS function is not used or visual circuit.

GUIDANCE
Ident.: DSC-31-40-00001242.0001001 / 13 JAN 14
Applicable to: ALL
Two completely different flight director modes are available, each with its own characteristic symbols.
The symbol displayed corresponds to the basic operating reference the pilot has selected – either
HDG V/S or TRK FPA.
In normal operation, PFD 1 displays FD1 orders.
If FD 1 fails, PFD 1 automatically displays FD 2 orders on PFD 1, the FD 2 indication in the right
column of the FMA flashes for a few seconds.
This is also applicable to FD 2 orders, that are displayed on PFD2.
IF THE CREW HAS SELECTED HDG V/S TO BE THE BASIC REFERENCE:
The PFD displays FD bars in green. They automatically move out of view at touchdown in ROLL
OUT mode.
They flash for 10 s, and then remain steady, if the following occur:
‐ A reversion to the HDG V/S basic mode (manual or automatic), or
‐ The selected flight level is changed, when ALT CAPTURE mode is engaged, or
‐ The loss of LOC or G/S in LAND mode or loss of LAND mode, or
‐ At the first AP or FD engagement.
The PFD displays a yaw bar in green below 30 ft radio height, if a localizer signal is available:
‐ During takeoff (in RWY mode)
‐ Upon landing (in FLARE and ROLL OUT mode).

In ARC mode 1/4 of the selected range for the first inner arc.
1/2 of the selected range for the second inner arc.
3/4 of the selected range for the third inner arc.
(2) Flight Plan
The crew can use the MCDU to select various types of flight plan:
‐ The active flight plan (the flight plan the aircraft is actually following when the NAV mode is
engaged) is represented by a continuous green line. The ND shows only the part of the flight
plan that is ahead of the aircraft, as well as the waypoints that are still to be overflown and
the waypoint from which the aircraft is coming.
The ND does not show a SID or a STAR , except for the last waypoint of the SID and the first
waypoint of the STAR, when the selected range is 160 or 320 NM.
If the primary flight plan is not active, it is represented by a dotted green line.
‐ A continuous blue line portrays the missed approach procedure , and a dashed blue line
portrays the flight plan to the alternate.
The missed approach and the alternate flight plan are displayed when:
• In ARC or ROSE NAV mode, a missed approach waypoint or an alternate flight plan
waypoint is displayed on the onside MCDU.
• In PLAN mode a missed approach or alternate waypoint is displayed in the 2L field of the
onside MCDU.
‐ The secondary flight plan is represented by a continuous white line. The ND continues to
display the active flight plan
‐ Temporary flight plan
The revised portion of the flight plan is represented by a dotted yellow line
‐ Flight plan capture
When the aircraft is off the primary flight plan and is flying toward it in HDG mode with the
NAV mode armed, the ND shows the new active flight plan as a continuous green line if the
FMGC has computed the intercept path.
The part of the flight plan before the interception point shows as a dotted green line.

A fully independent clock is on the right side of the control panel.
It sends time to the centralized fault data interface unit, the flight data interface unit, and the flight
management and guidance computer.
The clock has two electrical supplies, one of which is a direct connection to the aircraft battery hot
bus.
The clock performs four functions :
‐ It displays “UTC” (GMT) time in hours, minutes and seconds on the center counter.
‐ It displays elapsed time (ET) (from engine startup) in hours and minutes on the lower counter.
‐ It drives the chronometer (CHR), which measures a time interval (from the pushing of the
CHRONO button) in minutes and seconds.
‐ It can replace the UTC with the date.

Note: This process must be completed in less than one minute. Otherwise, it will be necessary
to reset the CFDS in order to synchronize the lower ECAM time display with the cockpit
clock display. Resetting the CFDS is a maintenance operation.
PRECAUTION IN CASE OF ATC DATALINK COMMUNICATION
If the clock is set to internal (INT) mode and the flight crew manually sets the time and date, the
clock does not comply with the time precision required for ATC datalink communication (+/-1 s
UTC). This may lead to the rejection of messages, or to the acceptance of obsolete messages:
‐ The CPDLC function will send CPDLC messages with an erroneous date/time
‐ The CPDLC function will accept obsolete uplink messages and may reject uplink messages with
a correct date/time
‐ The uplink messages for oceanic and departure clearance will be displayed in the Datalink
Control and Display Unit (DCDU) with an erroneous time
‐ The ADS-C function will continue to operate, but in a degraded mode.
To comply with the time precision requirement for ATC datalink communication, the flight crew
must either:
‐ Use the clock in GPS mode, or
‐ Use the clock in INT mode and synchronize the clock with the GPS at least one time per day.
This synchronization ensures that the UTC time drift is below +/- 1 s UTC.
GPS SYNCHRONIZATION IN INTERNAL MODE
When the clock is set to INT mode, the UTC time is only based on the internal clock and is not
synchronized with the GPS. To reset the drift that results from the UTC internal time, the flight
crew must perform the following actions:
‐ Set the UTC selector of the clock to the GPS mode and keep this setting during at least 10
seconds
‐ Then reset the UTC selector of the clock to INT mode.
These actions result in a resynchronization of the internal clock with the GPS.

DESCRIPTION
Ident.: DSC-31-60-10-00001262.0002001 / 09 OCT 12
Applicable to: ALL
The Flight Data Recording System, which records the mandatory parameters, consists of the
following components:
‐ A Flight Data Interface and Management Unit (FDIMU)
‐ A Digital Flight Data Recorder (DFDR)
‐ A three-axis Linear Accelerometer (LA)
The FDIMU collects and processes parameters from the SDAC s, DMC s, FWC s, FCDC s, BSCU ,
the DFDR event pushbutton, the GND CTL pushbutton and the Clock.
It stores the mandatory flight parameters in the DFDR.
The DFDR can store the last 25 h data, at least. It stores this data on a fireproof and shockproof
device. An underwater locator beacon is attached to the DFDR.
The linear accelerometer measures the acceleration of the aircraft along each of the three axes.
The QAR is an operational recorder that stores the same data as the DFDR . However the QAR is
more accessible for the maintenance crew.
The recording system is automatically active:
‐ On the ground, during the first five minutes after the aircraft electric network is energized.
‐ On the ground, after the first engine start.
‐ In flight (whether the engines are running or not).
On the ground, the recording system stops automatically five minutes after the second engine shuts
down.

The AIDS is used to monitor various aircraft system parameters in order to make maintenance easier
and to allow formulating operational recommendations.
The AIDS can generate system reports. The Airbus Standard Reports are preprogrammed reports
available at aircraft delivery. The operator can create its own reports.
The AIDS uses the Flight Data Interface and Management Unit (FDIMU) to acquire the relevant
aircraft system parameters. The FDIMU is connected to the rest of the AIDS as shown below.
The system may be programmed using the MCDU s. The crew can select any report to be displayed
on the MCDUs.
The Printer prints the flight phase programmed reports or any report selected on the MCDU.
This printing may be automatic or in response to the AIDS PRINT pushbutton.
The AIDS may send automatic reports via ACARS .
An optional Digital Recorder may be installed to extend the recording capacity.

The landing gear consists of :
‐ Two main landing gears that retract inboard
‐ One nose landing gear that retracts forward.
Doors enclose the landing gear bays. Gear and doors are electrically controlled and hydraulically
operated.
The doors, which are fitted to the landing gear struts, are operated mechanically by the gear and
close at the end of gear retraction.
All gear doors open while the gear is retracting or extending.
Two Landing Gear Control and Interface Units (LGCIU s) control the extension and retraction of the
gear and the operation of the doors. They also supply information about the landing gear to ECAM
for display, and send signals indicating whether the aircraft is in flight or on the ground to other
aircraft systems.
A hand crank on the center pedestal allows the flight crew to extend the landing gear if the aircraft
loses hydraulic systems or electrical power.
MAIN LANDING GEAR (MLG)

Applicable to: ALL
Ident.: DSC-32-10-10-A-00018602.0001001 / 21 MAR 16
NORMAL OPERATION
The flight crew normally operates the landing gear by means of the lever on the center instrument
panel.
The LGCIU s control the sequencing of gear and doors electrically. One LGCIU controls one
complete gear cycle, then switches over automatically to the other LGCIU at the completion of the
retraction cycle. It also switches over in case of failure.
The green hydraulic system actuates all gear and doors. When the aircraft is flying faster than
260 kt, a safety valve automatically cuts off hydraulic supply to the landing gear system. Below
260 kt, the hydraulic supply remains cut off as long as the landing gear lever is up.

LANDING GEAR GRAVITY EXTENSION
If the normal system fails to extend the landing gear hydraulically, the flight crew can use a crank
to extend it mechanically.
When a crew member turns the crank, it :
‐ Isolates the landing gear hydraulics from the green hydraulic system
‐ Unlocks the landing gear doors and the main and nose main gear
‐ Allows gravity to drop the gear into the extended position.
Locking springs help the crew to crank the main gear into the locked condition, and aerodynamic
forces assist in the locking of the nose gear.

GENERAL
The LGCIUs receive position information from the landing gear, cargo door, and landing flap
systems.
Ident.: DSC-32-10-20-A-00018605.0001001 / 21 MAR 16
LANDING GEAR INFORMATION
The LGCIUs receive landing gear position information from proximity detectors when:
‐ The landing gears are locked down or up, or
‐ The shock absorbers are compressed or extended, or
‐ The landing gear doors are open, or closed, or
‐ The bogie are aligned or not.
The LGCIUs send the landing gear position data to other aircraft systems.
In case of a LGCIU failure, the landing gear is controlled by the remaining healthy LGCIU.
Ident.: DSC-32-10-20-A-00018606.0001001 / 21 MAR 16
CARGO DOORS INFORMATION
Sensors send to the LGCIUs the position of the following components :
‐ Manuel selector valves
‐ Locking shaft
‐ Locking handle
‐ Safety shaft
‐ Door sills .
The LGCIUs detect electrical failures only in certain proximity switches in the cargo door system :
‐ Locking shaft
‐ Locking handle
‐ Safety shaft.
When an LGCIU makes such a detection, it indicates the NON LOCKED condition for that
component.

The following tables present the operational effects of the proximity detectors on aircraft systems.
How to read the tables :
SYSTEM LGCIU 1 LGCIU 2 A/C IN FLT A/C ON GROUND
SERVICE INTERPHONE 6 6 ........ ........
SFCC 1(2) 5(5) ........ ........
The above lines mean that the service interphone receives the output n° 6 from both LGCIU s, while
SFCC 1 receive the output 5 from LGCIU 1 and SFCC 2 the output 5 from LGCIU 2.
The two additional columns give the system functioning when the aircraft is in flight and on the
ground.

LANDING GEAR INDICATOR PANEL
Ident.: DSC-32-10-40-00018615.0001001 / 21 MAR 16

This panel is connected to LGCIU1, which receives signals from proximity detectors.
▿ light: comes on green if the gear is locked down.
UNLK
light
: comes on red if the gear is not locked in the selected position.
Note: This panel is connected to the LGCIU1 only, therefore, the lights on the LDG GEAR
indicator panel come on as long as the LGCIU1 is electrically supplied.
If one UNLK indication remains on, the landing gear position can be confirmed using the
WHEEL SD page (information from LGCIU 1 & 2). Only one green triangle on each landing
gear is sufficient to confirm that the landing gear is downlocked.
LANDING GEAR SELECTOR LEVER
Ident.: DSC-32-10-40-00018616.0001001 / 20 MAY 16
Applicable to: ALL
A two-position selector lever sends electrical signals to the two LGCIUs. These control the green
hydraulic supply to the landing gear system by means of selector valves.
The flight crew must always move the L/G lever in one continuous movement (i.e. with no stop
between both positions).
When the flight crew selects UP or DOWN (and if the airspeed is below 260 kt):
‐ All landing gear doors open
‐ Each landing gear moves to the selected position
‐ All landing gear doors close.

(1) L/G LEVER
UP : This position selects landing gear retraction.
While the landing gear doors are opening, the normal brake system brakes the
wheels of the main landing gear automatically.
A brake band in the nose landing gear well brakes the nose landing gear wheels as
the doors close (for aircraft equipped with nose landing gear rubbing strips).
DOWN : This position selects landing gear extension.
An interlock mechanism prevents anyone from accidentally retracting the gear
while the aircraft is on the ground. It does so by locking the lever in DOWN position
when the shock absorber on either main gear is compressed (aircraft on ground) or
the nose wheel steering is not centered.
The landing gear hydraulic system remains pressurized as long as the landing gear
is extended (if green hydraulic pressure is available).
(2) RED ARROW
This red arrow lights up if the landing gear is not locked down when the aircraft is in the landing
configuration, and a red warning appears on ECAM.

Ident.: DSC-32-10-40-00018617.0001001 / 21 MAR 16
Applicable to: ALL
To put the landing gear down by gravity, the flight crew must pull the gear crank out, then turn it
clockwise for 3 turns.
When the flight crew operates the crank handle, the cutout valve shuts off hydraulic pressure to the
landing gear system and depressurizes it.

DESCRIPTION
Ident.: DSC-32-20-10-00018619.0007001 / 21 MAR 16
Applicable to: ALL
A hydraulic actuating cylinder steers the nose wheel. The yellow hydraulic system supplies pressure
to the cylinder, and electric signals from the Brake and Steering Control Unit (BSCU) control it.
The BSCU receives orders from:
‐ Captain's, and the First Officer’s steering hand wheels (orders added algebraically), or
‐ Rudder pedals, or
‐ Autopilot.
The BSCU transforms these orders into nose wheel steering angle. That angle has the following
limits, which depend on ground speed and the origin of the orders.
The steering system receives actuating hydraulic pressure when:
‐ A/SKID & N/W STRG switch is ON
‐ Towing control lever is in normal position
‐ At least one engine is running
‐ Aircraft is on ground.
The handwheel can turn the nosewheel up to 75 ° in either direction. A lever, on the towing electrical
box (on nose landing gear), enables ground crew to deactivate the steering system for towing. Then
the wheel can be turned 95 ° in either direction.
To prevent rudder pedal orders, or autopilot orders, from going to the BSCU, the pilots can use the
pushbutton on either steering handwheel.
00000An internal cam mechanism returns the nose wheel to the centered position after takeoff.

GENERAL
Ident.: DSC-32-30-10-00018623.0002001 / 21 MAR 16
Applicable to: ALL
The main wheels are equipped with carbon multidisc brakes, which can be actuated by either of two
independent brake systems.
The normal system uses green hydraulic pressure, whereas the alternate system uses the yellow
hydraulic system backed up by the hydraulic accumulator.
An anti-skid and autobrake system is also provided.
Braking commands come from either the brake pedals (pilot action), or the autobrake system
(deceleration rate selected by the crew).
In normal operation, a dual channel Brake and Steering Control Unit (BSCU) controls normal braking
and antiskid.
Depending on the failure, braking may revert to:
‐ Alternate braking with antiskid. This braking mode is controlled by the Alternate Braking Control
Unit (ABCU ), and the antiskid is controlled by the BSCU
‐ Alternate braking without antiskid. This braking mode is fully-controlled by the ABCU
‐ Alternate braking without antiskid on accumulator. This braking mode is fully-controlled by the
ABCU.
All the normal and alternate braking components are fully-monitored. Any detected failure is signaled
to the crew via ECAM warnings.
The BSCU performs the following secondary functions:
‐ Checks the residual pressure in the brakes
‐ Monitors the brake temperature
‐ Provides discrete wheel speed information to other aircraft systems.
A changeover between the two BSCU channels takes place at each DOWN landing gear lever
selection, or in case one channel fails.
The main gear wheels are fitted with fusible plugs which protect against tire burst, in the event of
overheat.
Main gear wheels are also equipped with brake cooling fans , which permit a high speed cooling
of brakes.
ANTI-SKID SYSTEM
Ident.: DSC-32-30-10-00018624.0001001 / 21 MAR 16
Applicable to: ALL
The antiskid system provides maximum braking efficiency by maintaining the wheels at the limit of an
impending skid.

FCOM ← B to C → 22 MAR 17
At skid onset, brake release orders are sent to the normal and alternate servovalves, as well as to
the ECAM system which displays the released brakes.
Without using autobrake, full braking performance is achieved only with brake pedals at full
deflection.
The antiskid system is deactivated below 20 kt (ground speed).
An ON/OFF switch activates, or deactivates, the antiskid and nosewheel steering systems.
PRINCIPLE
The speed of each main gear wheel (given by a tachometer) is compared to the aircraft speed
(reference speed). When the speed of a wheel decreases below approximately 0.87 times
(depending on conditions) reference speed, brake release orders are given to maintain the wheel
slip at that value (best braking efficiency).
In normal operation, the reference speed is determined by the BSCU from the horizontal
acceleration of ADIRU 1, or ADIRU 2, or ADIRU 3.
In case all ADIRUs fail, reference speed equals the maximum of either main landing gear wheel
speeds.
AUTO BRAKE
Applicable to: ALL
Ident.: DSC-32-30-10-A-00018625.0001001 / 21 MAR 16
GENERAL
The purposes of the autobrake system are the following:
‐ Reduce the braking distance in case of an aborted takeoff
‐ Establish and maintain a selected deceleration rate during landing, thereby improving
passenger comfort and reducing crew workload.
Ident.: DSC-32-30-10-A-00018626.0002001 / 21 MAR 16
SYSTEM ARMING
The crew may arm the system by pressing the LO, MED , or MAX pushbutton provided all the
following arming conditions are met :
‐ Green pressure available
‐ Anti-skid electrically-powered
‐ No failure in the braking system
‐ At least one ADIRU is available.
Note: 1. Auto brake may be armed with the parking brake on.
2. MAX autobrake mode cannot be armed in flight.

Ident.: DSC-32-30-10-A-00018627.0002001 / 21 MAR 16
SYSTEM ACTIVATION
Automatic braking is activated when:
‐ The command for ground spoilers extension is detected (Refer to DSC-27-10-20 Speed Brakes
and Ground Spoilers - Speed Brake Control), for LO and MED mode, or
‐ The command for ground spoilers extension is detected, and the aircraft speed is above 40 kt,
for MAX mode.
Therefore, if the aircraft makes an acceleration stop and begins to decelerate when its speed is
under 72 kt, the automatic braking will not activate because the ground spoilers will not extend.
For autobrake to activate, at least two SEC’s must be operative.
Ident.: DSC-32-30-10-A-00018628.0001001 / 21 MAR 16
SYSTEM DEACTIVATION
The system deactivates when:
‐ The system disarmed (Refer to DSC-32-30-10 Auto Brake - System Disarming), or
‐ The ground spoilers retract. In this case it remains armed.
Ident.: DSC-32-30-10-A-00018629.0002001 / 21 MAR 16
The system disarms when:
‐ Flight crew presses the pushbutton switch, or
‐ One or more arming conditions is lost, or
‐ After take-off/touch and go, or
‐ Flight crew applies enough deflection to at least one brake pedal when autobrake is active in MAX
, MED or LO mode.
BRAKING MODES
Applicable to: ALL
Ident.: DSC-32-30-10-B-00018630.0001001 / 21 MAR 16
GENERAL
There are four modes of operation:
‐ Normal braking
‐ Alternate braking with antiskid
‐ Alternate braking without antiskid
‐ Parking brake.

NORMAL BRAKING
Normal braking is operative when:
‐ Green hydraulic pressure is available
‐ A/SKID & N/W STRG switch is ON.
During normal braking, antiskid is operative and autobrake is available.
Braking is electrically-controlled through the BSCU from:
‐ Pilot’s pedals, or
‐ Automatically activates when:
• On ground by the autobrake system, or
• In flight when the landing gear lever is up.
The antiskid system is controlled by the BSCU via the normal servo valves.
There is no brake pressure indication in the cockpit.
Ident.: DSC-32-30-10-B-00018632.0002001 / 17 MAR 17
ALTERNATE BRAKING WITH ANTI-SKID
Autobrake is inoperative.
Braking uses this mode when green hydraulic pressure is insufficient, and :
‐ Yellow hydraulic pressure is available
‐ A/SKID & N/W STRG switch is ON
‐ Parking brake is not ON.
Braking inputs are made by the brake pedals and sent to the ABCU . Then, taking into account the
brake pedal input, the ABCU:
‐ Energizes the alternate brake selector valve to pressurize the yellow hydraulic circuit
‐ Electrically controls the Alternate Servo Valve to obtain the correct pressure for the related
brakes.
Antiskid is controlled by the BSCU.
A triple indicator on the center instrument panel indicates the pressure delivered to the left and
right brakes, as well as the accumulator pressure.
Note: Initial pedal force or displacement produces more braking action in alternate mode than
in normal mode.
Ident.: DSC-32-30-10-B-00018633.0002001 / 17 MAR 17
ALTERNATE BRAKING WITHOUT ANTI-SKID
Autobrake and antiskid are inoperative.

The antiskid system is either deactivated:
‐ Electrically (A/SKID & N/W STRG sw OFF, or power supply failure, or BSCU failure), or
‐ Hydraulically (Y + G system low pressure, the brakes are supplied by the brake accumulator
only).
Depending on the brake pedals’ demand, the ABCU controls the alternate brake selector and the
alternate servovalves.
Brake pressure and accumulator pressure are indicated on a triple indicator, located on the
center instrument panel. To avoid wheel locking and limit the risk of tire burst, brake pressure is
automatically limited to 1 000 PSI.
The accumulator can supply at least 7 full brake applications.
Note: Initial pedal force or displacement produces more braking action in alternate mode than
in normal mode.
Ident.: DSC-32-30-10-B-00018634.0002001 / 21 MAR 16
PARKING BRAKE
Brakes are supplied by the yellow hydraulic system, or by accumulator pressure via the parking
brake control valve, which opens allowing full pressure application on the main gear wheel brakes.
The accumulator maintains the parking pressure for at least 12 h.
If the parking brake is activated and no yellow hydraulic or accumulator brake pressure is
available, then the normal braking system can be applied via the brake pedals.
Yellow accumulators can be pressurized by pressing the yellow electrical pump switch.
A triple indicator on the center instrument panel indicates the pressure delivered to the left and
right brakes, as well as the accumulator pressure.

The springloaded MAX , MED , and LO pushbutton switches arm the appropriate deceleration
rate. The usage for each mode are as follow:
‐ MAX mode is normally selected for takeoff.
In the case of an aborted takeoff, maximum pressure goes to the brakes, as soon as the
system generates the ground spoiler deployment order
‐ MED or LO mode is normally selected for landing:
• MED mode sends progressive pressure to the brakes 2 s after the ground spoilers deploy
in order to decelerate the aircraft at 3 m/s² (9.8 ft/s²)
• LO mode sends progressive pressure to the brakes 4 s after the ground spoilers deploy, in
order to decelerate the aircraft at 1.7 m/s² (5.6 ft/s²).
The lighting on the pushbutton switches are as follow:

The Air Data and Inertial Reference System (ADIRS ) supplies temperature, anemometric,
barometric and inertial parameters to the EFIS system (PFD and ND ) and to other user systems
(FMGC , FADEC , ELAC , SEC , FAC , FWC , SFCC , ATC , GPWS , CFDIU , CPC).
The system includes:
‐ Three identical ADIRUs (Air Data and Inertial Reference Units).
Each ADIRU is divided in two parts, either of which can work separately in case of failure in the
other:
• The ADR part (Air Data Reference) which supplies barometric altitude, airspeed, Mach, angle of
attack, temperature and overspeed warnings.
• The IR part (Inertial Reference) which supplies attitude, flight path vector, track, heading,
accelerations, angular rates, ground speed and aircraft position.
‐ One ADIRS control panel on the overhead panel for selection of modes (NAV , ATT, OFF) and
indications of failures.
‐ Four types of sensors:
• Pitot probes (3)
• Static pressure probes (STAT) (6)
• Angle of attack sensors (AOA) (3)
• Total air temperature probes (TAT) (2)
These sensors are electrically heated to prevent from icing up.
‐ Eight ADM s (Air Data Modules) which convert pneumatic data from PITOT and STAT probes into
numerical data for the ADIRUs.
‐ A switching facility for selecting ADR 3 or IR 3 for instrument displays in case of ADIRU1 or 2
failure.

DESCRIPTION
Ident.: DSC-34-NAV-15-10-00018530.0001001 / 21 MAR 16
Applicable to: ALL
The Global Positioning System (GPS) is a satellite-based radio navigation aid.
Worldwide, 24 satellites broadcast accurate navigation data that the aircraft use for precise
determination of its position.
The aircraft has two independent GPS receivers. Depending of the aircraft configuration, each
receiver consists:
‐ Of a GPS Sensor Unit (GPSSU), or
‐ Is integrated in the Multi Mode Receiver (MMR ). The GPS 1 receiver in MMR 1, and the GPS 2
receiver in MMR2.
The GPSSU or the MMR processes the received data, and transfers them to the ADIRU s. Then
each ADIRU performs the GP-IRS hybrid position calculation. FMGCs use this hybrid position.

Three modes of tuning are available.
1. Automatic Tuning
This is the basic means for tuning navaids.
In normal operation, the FMGC tunes navaids automatically, with each FMGC controlling its own
receivers.
If one FMGC fails, the remaining FMGC controls both sides receivers.
2. Manual Tuning
The flight crew can use the MCDU to override the automatic tuning of navaids by FMGC in order
to select a specific navaid for visual display.
This does not affect the automatic function of the FMGC.
Any entry on one MCDU is sent to both FMGC in dual mode, or the remaining FMGC in single
mode.
3. Back Up Tuning
If both FMGC s fail, the flight crew can use the RMPs (Radio Management Panels 1 and 2) on the
pedestal for back up tuning.
The CAPT RMP controls VOR1 and ADF 1 .
The F/O RMP controls VOR2 and ADF 2 .
Either RMP controls ILS /GLS / MLS , provided “STBY NAV” is selected on RMP 1 and
RMP2. RMP3 is not used for navaids tuning.

(1) Compass card
ADIRU1 normally supplies the signal that positions the compass card.
ADIRU 3 supplies this signal when selected by the ATT HDG SWITCHING selector.
(2) Bearings pointers
Indicate the magnetic bearing to the station received by VOR 1 or ADF 1 (dashed pointer)
and VOR2 or ADF 2 (double pointer).
Note: Depending on the quality of the VOR beacon's signal, and mainly at distances greater
than 25 NM from the station, the processing of the signal, on aircraft equipped with
COLLINS or BENDIX VOR may lead to bearing pointer oscillations.
(3) DME1(2) counters
Indicates distance in nautical miles to/from DME station.
The counters indicate distances:
‐ in NM when the station is at more than 20 NM
‐ 1/10th of NM when the station is at less than 20 NM.
When the station is at less than 1 NM, 0 is shown.
The DME 1 and DME2 display are blanked or dashed when a fault is detected or data invalid.

(1) ON/OFF sw
This switch controls the power supply to the panel.
(2) NAV key (transparent switchguard)
‐ Pressing this key engages the radio navigation backup mode. It takes control of the VOR ,
ILS , GLS , MLS and ADF receivers away from the FMGC and gives it to the
RMP.
‐ The green monitor light comes on.
‐ Pressing the NAV key a second time returns control of the navigation radios to the FMGC.
Note: ‐ The flight crew must select this backup tuning mode on both RMP 1 and RMP 2
if both FMGC s or both MCDU s fail. In the emergency electrical configuration,
only RMP1 receives power
‐ Pressing the NAV key on RMP3 has no effect
‐ In the NAV backup mode, the flight crew can select radio communication
systems as it would in the normal mode.
Setting one RMP to NAV backup mode removes navaids tuning from both
FMGCs.
‐ When the flight crew uses an RMP to tune an ILS /DME or GLS /DME or
MLS /DME , the PFD s do not display the DME distance.
(3) STBY NAV keys
When the NAV key is on and the flight crew presses one of these STBY NAV keys, the ACTIVE
window displays the frequency/channel to which that receiver is tuned. The green monitor light
on the selected key comes on, and the one on the previously selected STBY NAV or COM key
goes out.
(4) Frequency/channel selector knob
Two concentric knobs allow the flight crew to preselect frequencies/channels for
communication radios and stand-by navigation systems and select courses for VOR , ILS ,
GLS and MLS .
The desired frequency, channel or course is set in the STBY/CRS window.
The outer and the inner knobs set a frequency/channel: the outer knob controls the most
significant digits, the inner knob controls the least significant digits. A rate multiplier speeds up
the tuning when the knob is rotated quickly.
The inner knob only sets a course.
(5) Transfer key
The flight crew presses this key to interchange ACTIVE and STBY frequencies/channels. This
action tunes the selected receiver to the new ACTIVE frequency/channel.

The aircraft has two ATC transponders (XPDR) which are controlled by a control panel (ATC /TCAS)
on the center pedestal.
Only the selected XPDR operates.
The XPDR automatically responds to requests:
‐ From the ATC, to ensure effective air traffic surveillance
‐ From other aircraft that have a TCAS, to ensure that traffic alerts are triggered.
The XPDR is capable of elementary surveillance (ELS) and enhanced surveillance (EHS). It
transmits the following data to the ATC center:
‐ The aircraft 24 bit address, the aircraft altitude, the flight number, the RA report
‐ The indicated airspeed, the Mach number, and the barometric vertical speed that are all supplied
by the ADRs
‐ The magnetic heading, the roll angle, the ground speed, the track angle, the track angle rate, and
the inertial vertical speed, that are all supplied by the IRs
‐ The selected altitude and barometric reference settings supplied by the FCUs.

DESCRIPTION
Ident.: DSC-34-SURV-30-10-00014867.0002001 / 22 MAR 17
Applicable to: ALL
The aircraft is fitted with one or two Multiscan weather radar systems with a Predictive
WindShear (PWS ) function and a weather hazard prediction function .
The flight crew can display weather data on the CAPT and/or F/O NDs in either ARC or ROSE mode.
The flight crew can adjust the brightness of the weather image on the ND thanks the outer knob of
the ND Brightness Control knob (Refer to DSC-31-50 Other EFIS Controls).
Note: A low brightness setting of the weather display may reduce the visibility of weather data,
and therefore reduce crew awareness of the weather situation.
The flight crew can use the radar in the following modes:
‐ Multiscan Automatic mode: MULTISCAN sw set to AUTO (recommended), or
‐ Manual mode: MULTISCAN sw set to MAN.
When in Multiscan Automatic mode:
‐ The radar alternatively scans at two antenna tilt settings. The weather radar image that is
displayed is the result of the stored and combined information from each beam.
‐ When the gain selector is set to the Calibrated position (CAL), the radar automatically adjusts the
gain based on various parameters (aircraft altitude, geographical area, season, time of the day) to
obtain the best weather display.
‐ To prevent unnecessary clutter display, the “Quiet and Dark cockpit” philosophy removes the
weather that:
‐ is not on the aircraft flight path
‐ is not a threat to the aircraft (post convective cell).
‐ The Ground Clutter Suppression (GCS ) function removes the ground returns from the ND.

Multiscan Principle
When in Manual mode:
‐ The flight crew can adjust manually the antenna tilt settings, and can adjust gain either
automatically or manually using knobs located on the radar control panel
‐ The GCS function is not available
‐ When the gain selector is set to CAL, there is no automatic gain adjustment based on altitude,
geographical area, season and time of the day.
As a consequence, when the flight crew switches from the Multiscan Automatic mode with CAL gain
to the Manual mode with CAL gain, the weather displayed on the ND may be significantly different.

The weather radar has a Predictive WindShear system (PWS ) that operates when the PWS switch
is in the AUTO position , and the aircraft radio height is below 2 300 ft, and
‐ Weather radar is ON (Radar sw on position 1 or 2), or
‐ Weather radar is OFF, and
‐ At least one engine is running, and
‐ Aircraft ground speed is greater than 30 kt, or
‐ Aircraft longitudinal acceleration is above a given threshold during at least 0.5 s.
Note: If two weather radars are installed, when the selected weather radar fails, the flight crew
can recover the PWS function by selecting the operative system on the Radar sw of the
radar control panel.
The system scans the airspace for windshear within a range of 5 NM ahead of the aircraft. When the
system detects windshear, a windshear symbol appears on the ND (Refer to DSC-34-SURV-30-30
PWS (if installed) indication on PFD and ND).
Predictive windshear warnings and cautions are associated to an aural alert and to a red (warning)
or amber (caution) "W/S AHEAD" message on the PFD , whereas windshear advisories are only
displayed on the ND (Refer to DSC-34-SURV-30-30 PWS (if installed) indication on PFD and ND )

(2) Tilt Angle
‐ The multiscan function of the weather radar alternatively scans at low and high beam, and
automatically sets the tilt of these beams to optimize the weather radar detection. The
displayed weather radar picture is the result of the storing and merging of the information
from each beam.
‐ The tilt angle is the angle between the horizon and the radar beam axis. The value of the
tilt angle is in degrees, and quarters of a degree. It appears in the lower right corner of the
screen:
• In green, when the MULTISCAN sw is set to AUTO. This value represents the average of
the lower and the upper beam tilts.
• In blue, next to the blue “MAN ” indication, when the flight crew sets the MULTISCAN sw
to MAN.
• When the multiscan function is lost, the tilt value is dashed and the “NO AUTO TILT”
message appears in amber on the ND , until the flight crew sets the MULTISCAN sw to
MAN.

OVERVIEW
Ident.: DSC-34-SURV-40-10-00021292.0001001 / 17 MAR 17
Applicable to: ALL
The purpose of the Ground Proximity Warning System (GPWS) is to warn the flight crew of
potentially hazardous situations, such as a collision with terrain. It detects terrain collision threats and
triggers applicable aural and visual indications.
The GPWS includes:
‐ Five basic modes active up to radio height of 2 500 ft.
• Excessive rate of descent (Mode 1)
• Excessive terrain closure rate (Mode 2)
• Altitude loss after takeoff or go-around (Mode 3)
• Terrain clearance not sufficient, if not in landing configuration (Mode 4)
• Excessive descent below the glide slope (Mode 5).
‐ A predictive GPWS function, based on a GPWS database, to display terrain information. It
can be provided:
• By Honeywell through Enhanced GPWS (EGPWS)
• By ACSS as Ground Collision Avoidance System (GCAS ), through T2CAS or T3CAS.
The predictive GPWS is composed of:
• Mandatory functions such as the Forward Looking Terrain Alerting function
• Optional functions such as the obstacle database.
Note: The terrain data are displayed on the ND and the brightness is controlled via the weather
radar brightness control knob. If the weather radar brightness was set to low (due to bad
weather) and a terrain alert occurs, then the brightness of the terrain display will also be
low.

‐ Detects and displays surrounding aircraft that have a transponder
‐ Calculates and display possible collision threats
‐ Triggers vertical speed orders, in order to avoid collisions.
PRINCIPLE
Ident.: DSC-34-SURV-60-10-00020408.0001001 / 21 MAR 17
Applicable to: ALL
The TCAS detection capability is limited to intruders flying within a maximum range of 30 NM on
either sides and approximately 30 NM to 80 NM longitudinally (depending on aircraft configuration
and external conditions), and within a maximum altitude range of 9 900 ft above and below the
aircraft.
TCAS Range
The TCAS obtains data transmitted by the transponders of nearby aircraft, and uses this data to
evaluate possible collision threats.
The TCAS determines:
‐ The bearing of intruders, in relation to the bearing of the aircraft.
‐ The distance between the aircraft and intruders, and the rate of separation or closure.
‐ The relative altitude of intruders, if intruders have a Mode-C or Mode-S transponder.
The TCAS then calculates the intruder trajectory, the Closest Point of Approach (CPA), and the
estimated time (TAU) before reaching the CPA.
The TAU is the ratio between the distance that separates both aircraft, and the sum of their speed.

TAU Definition
If the TCAS detects that the trajectory of an intruder may be a collision threat, it triggers:
‐ Audio and visual indicators
‐ Vertical speed orders, to ensure a sufficient trajectory separation and a minimal vertical speed
variation considering all intruders.
MAIN COMPONENTS

The TCAS has three different modes of operations that can be selected on the ATC / TCAS
control panel:
‐ The Traffic Advisory/Resolution Advisory (TA/RA) mode
‐ The Traffic Advisory Only (TA ONLY) mode
‐ The standby (STBY) mode.
Ident.: DSC-34-SURV-60-10-10-00020412.0001001 / 21 MAR 17
TRAFFIC ADVISORY/RESOLUTION ADVISORY (TA/RA) MODE
The TA/RA mode is the normal TCAS operating mode that enables:
‐ The ND to display all intruders
‐ The PFD to display the vertical speed orders that indicate the vertical direction that the aircraft
should take, in order to avoid a collision.
Ident.: DSC-34-SURV-60-10-10-00020413.0001001 / 21 MAR 17
TRAFFIC ADVISORY ONLY (TA ONLY) MODE
The TA ONLY mode can be selected:
‐ Manually in case of aircraft degraded performance (engine failure, landing gear extended), or in
specific airports, and for specific procedures (identified by operators) that may provide RA that
are neither wanted nor appropriate (e.g. closely-spaced parallel or converging runways)
‐ Automatically, if TA/RA mode is previously selected and:
• The windshear alert is triggered
• The stall warning is triggered
• GPWS alerts are triggered
• Aircraft is below 1 000 ft AGL.
When the TCAS is operating in TA ONLY mode:
‐ All RA s are inhibited and converted into TAs
‐ TA threshold is set to TAU ≤20 s, irrespective of the aircraft altitude
‐ No vertical speed advisories are indicated on the PFDs
‐ “TA ONLY” is displayed on the NDs

FCOM A to B 24 JAN 17
GENERAL
Ident.: DSC-35-20-10-00017801.0001001 / 21 MAR 16
Applicable to: ALL
The cockpit’s fixed oxygen system consists of :
‐ A high-pressure cylinder, located in the left-hand lower fuselage.
‐ A pressure regulator, connected directly to the cylinder that delivers oxygen, at a pressure suitable
for users.
‐ Two overpressure safety systems to vent oxygen overboard, through a safety port, if the pressure
becomes too high.
‐ A supply solenoid valve that allows the crew to shut off the distribution system.
‐ Three (or four ) full-face quick-donning masks, stowed in readily-accessible boxes adjacent to
the crewmembers’ seats (one at each seat).
OPERATION
Ident.: DSC-35-20-10-00001450.0001001 / 21 MAR 16
Applicable to: ALL
The crewmember squeezes the red grips to pull the mask out of its box, and this action causes the
mask harness to inflate.
A mask-mounted regulator supplies a mixture of air and oxygen or pure oxygen, or performs
emergency pressure control. With the regulator set to NORMAL, the user breathes a mixture of cabin
air and oxygen up to the cabin altitude at which the regulator supplies 100 % oxygen. The user can
select 100 %, in which case the regulator supplies pure oxygen at all cabin altitudes.
If the situation calls for it, the user can use the emergency overpressure rotating knob and receive
pure oxygen at positive pressure.
The storage box contains a microphone lead, with a quick-disconnect, for connection to the
appropriate mask microphone cable.
Note: Each mask may have a removable film that protects the visor against scratches.
This strip is optional and may be removed from the mask at any time.

(2) EMERGENCY pressure selector
Use of this selector creates on overpressure which eliminates condensation or fogging of the
mask, and prevents smoke, smell or ashes from entering the mask.
‐ Pressing this knob generates an overpressure for a few seconds.
‐ Turning the knob, in the direction of the arrow, generates a permanent overpressure.
Note: 1. Overpressure supply is automatically started, when cabin altitude exceeds
30 000 ft.
2. Overpressure supply is available only when the N/100% selector is set on the on
the 100 % position.
(3) N/100 % selector
This two-position button is locked down (100% position) when the crewmember pulls the mask
out of the stowage.Pushing the button up from underneath releases it, and it pops up to the N
(normal) position. Pressing it again returns it to 100 %.
100 % : The mask delivers 100 % oxygen.
N : The mask provides the flight crew with a mixture of air and oxygen. This mixture
changes with cabin altitude. The higher the cabin altitude, the more oxygen the
mask provides, until the mask supplies 100 % oxygen.

Applicable to: ALL
In the case of depressurization, the fixed oxygen system in the cabin supplies oxygen to the cabin
occupants.
Chemical generators produce the oxygen. Each generator feeds a group of 2, 3, or 4 masks.
Oxygen masks are located in containers above the passenger seats, in the lavatories, in each galley
, and at each cabin crew station.
Note: Gaseous generators replace chemical generators in the lavatories.
OPERATION
Ident.: DSC-35-30-10-00016920.0001001 / 21 MAR 16
Applicable to: ALL
Each container has an electrical latching mechanism that opens automatically to allow the masks to
drop, if the cabin pressure altitude exceeds 14 000 ft (+250, -750 ft), or 16 000 ft (+250, -750 ft) for
the operation on high altitude airfields .
Members of the flight crew can override the automatic control.
When the masks are released, the passenger address system automatically broadcasts prerecorded
instructions .
The generation of oxygen begins when the passenger pulls the mask towards the passenger seat.
The chemical reaction used for oxygen generation creates heat. Therefore, the smell of burning,
smokes and cabin temperature increase may be associated with the normal operation of the oxygen
generators. The mask receives pure oxygen under positive pressure for about 13 min , 15 min
, or up to 22 min , until the generator is exhausted.
A reset is available for the rearming of the system after the masks are restowed. A manual release
tool allows crew members to open the doors manually in case of electrical failure.

The pneumatic system supplies high-pressure air for :
‐ Air conditioning
‐ Engine starting
‐ Wing anti-icing
‐ Water pressurization
‐ Hydraulic reservoir pressurization
‐ FWD cargo heating
‐ AFT cargo heating
‐ Fuel Tank Inerting System (FTIS) .
High-pressure air has three sources :
‐ Engine bleed systems
‐ APU load compressor
‐ HP ground connection
Note: An external HP source may be used for air conditioning.
A crossbleed duct interconnects the engine bleed systems and receives air from the APU and ground
sources when appropriate.
A valve mounted on the crossbleed duct allows the left side (engine 1) and right side (engine 2) to be
interconnected.
Two Bleed Monitoring Computers (BMC 1 and BMC 2), the overhead control panel, and the ECAM
control and monitor the operation of the pneumatic system.
A leak detection system detects any overheating in the vicinity of hot air ducts.

The aircraft has two similar engine bleed air systems.
Each system is designed to :
‐ select the compressor stage to use as a source of air
‐ regulate the bleed air temperature
‐ regulate the bleed air pressure.
A Bleed Monitoring Computer (BMC) controls and monitors each system.
Each BMC receives information about bleed pressure and temperature and valve position.
Each is connected with :
‐ other systems using air or information from the bleed system
‐ the other BMC.
Each supplies indications and warnings to the ECAM and CFDS.
If one BMC fails, the other one takes over most of the monitoring functions.
Each bleed valve is pneumatically operated and controlled electrically by its associated BMC.

Ident.: DSC-36-10-20-00001471.0003001 / 09 OCT 12
Applicable to: ALL
Air is normally bled from the intermediate pressure stage (IP ) of engine’s high-pressure (HP)
compressor to minimize fuel penalty.
At low engine speed, when the pressure and temperature of the IP air are too low, the system bleeds
air from the HP stage and maintains it at 36 ± 4 PSI.
An intermediate pressure check valve downstream of the IP port closes to prevent air from the HP
stage from being circulated to the IP stage.
L3 The HP valve closes automatically
‐ • In case of low upstream pressure
• in case of excessive upstream pressure
‐ electrically when the bleed valve is closed electrically.

Ident.: DSC-36-10-20-00001472.0004001 / 15 MAR 17
Applicable to: ALL
The bleed valve, which is downstream of the junction of HP and IP ducting, acts as a shut-off and
pressure regulating valve.
It maintains delivery pressure at 45 ± 5 PSI.
Note: Bleed pressure may fluctuate between 38 and 56 PSI (with a maximum peak to peak
pressure of 16 PSI) particularly at high engine power (takeoff or climb) up to FL 100.
The bleed valve is fully closed:
‐ Pneumatically:
• If upstream pressure goes below 8 PSI
• If there is return flow
‐ Electrically by means of:
• The BLEED pushbutton switch (switched OFF)
• The ENG FIRE pushbutton (pushed)
• The Bleed air Monitoring Computer (BMC) in the following cases:
‐ Overtemperature
‐ Overpressure
‐ Leak
‐ Open starter valve
‐ Engine shutdown
‐ APU bleed being ON.
If pressure regulation fails, the overpressure valve closes when the pressure goes over 85 PSI.
Note: If APU Bleed is ON and the crossbleed valve is SHUT, the Engine bleed valve 2, remains
open.
TEMPERATURE REGULATION AND LIMITATION
Ident.: DSC-36-10-20-00001473.0001001 / 21 MAR 16

Air from the APU load compressor is available on ground and in flight.
The APU bleed valve operates as a shut-off valve to control APU bleed air.
The APU BLEED pb-sw, on the AIR COND panel, controls the APU bleed valve. When the flight
crew selects ON with the pushbutton, APU bleed air supplies the pneumatic system, if the APU
speed is above 95 %. This opens the crossbleed valve and closes the engine bleed automatically.
If the APU bleed valve is opened, it automatically closes in the case of APU leak, left wing leak, or
engine 1 leak (except during engine start). Refer to DSC-36-10-50 Leak Detection.
A check valve near the crossbleed duct protects the APU, when bleed air comes from another
source.

LEAK DETECTION
Ident.: DSC-36-10-50-00001479.0001001 / 15 MAR 17
Applicable to: ALL
Leak detection loops detect any overheating near the hot air ducts in the fuselage, pylons, and
wings.
For the pylon and APU, the sensing elements are tied to form a single loop and for the wing, a
double loop.
When the two wing loops detect a leak, or when one loop detects the leak and the other one is
inoperative, they activate a wing leak signal.
BMC 1 and BMC2 each contain identical control logic for the system.
‐ A wing leak signal causes :
• the bleed valve on the related side to close automatically
• the associated FAULT light on the AIR COND panel to come on
• the x-bleed valve to close automatically (except during an engine start)
• the APU bleed valve to close automatically if the APU bleed valve is open and if the leak
concerns the left wing (except during engine start).
‐ A pylon leak signal causes :
• the bleed valve on the related side to close automatically
• the FAULT light for the related engine on the AIR COND panel to come on
• the x-bleed valve to close automatically (except during an engine start).
• the APU bleed valve to close automatically if the APU bleed valve is open and if the leak
concerns the pylon 1 (except during engine start).

• the APU bleed valve to close automatically (except during engine start).
• the FAULT light the APU BLEED pushbutton switch on the AIR COND panel to come on

The water and waste systems :
‐ Distribute potable water to the toilets and the galleys
‐ Dispose waste water
‐ Store toilet wastes.
The systems are insulated to prevent water leaks and ice build up.
Controls of the water and waste systems are located on the Forward Attendant Panel (FAP).
POTABLE WATER
Applicable to: ALL
Ident.: DSC-38-10-A-00017286.0002001 / 21 MAR 16
Potable water is stored in a 200 l water tank located in front of the wing box, behind the FWD cargo
compartment.
On ground, the water system is pressurized by the air from the service panel pressure port. In flight,
the water system is pressurized by the bleed air.
Potable water is piped to the galleys and lavatories. Manual shutoff valves isolate wet galleys,
the FWD lavatory, the MID lavatory and the AFT lavatory from the water system. Manual shutoff
valves are located under the washbasins or toilet bowls. The position of each valve is indicated by
OPEN and SHUT legend.
The system can be filled or drained from the service panel under the fuselage. The indication of the
water quantity in the water tank is displayed on the FAP and the aft service panel.

A flush control unit controls the flush sequence in each toilet.
The Vacuum System Controller (VSC) ensures system control, monitoring and fault reporting.
The VSC transmits information to:
‐ Flight attendant panel to indicate the waste tank levels and report system defects
‐ Centralized Fault Display System (CFDS) to signal the system defects to the maintenance.
Ground personnel services the waste tank via a service panel, located under the fuselage.
A manual shutoff valve isolates an inoperative toilet. In the case of an electrical failure of flush valve,
the manual flush control can be used. The manual flush control is located under each toilet bowl.

GENERAL
Ident.: DSC-45-10-00001490.0001001 / 21 MAR 16
Applicable to: ALL
The purpose of the Centralized Fault Display System (CFDS) is to make the maintenance task easier
by displaying fault messages in the cockpit and permitting the flight crew to make some specific
tests.
There are two levels of maintenance :
at the line stop : removal and replacement of equipment
at the main base : troubleshooting
COMPONENTS
Ident.: DSC-45-10-00001491.0001001 / 21 MAR 16
Applicable to: ALL
The CFDS includes :
‐ the BITE (Built-In Test Equipment) for each electronic system
‐ a central computer, the Centralized Fault Display Interface Unit (CFDIU)
‐ two MCDU s (Multipurpose Control and Display Units), used also for FMGS (Flight Management
and Guidance System), AIDS (Aircraft Integrated Data System), and ACARS (Aircraft
Communication And Reporting System, if installed), which work with the CFDIU to display
information or initiate tests
‐ one printer.
If a main channel of the CFDIU fails, the backup channel takes over.
MODES OF OPERATION
Ident.: DSC-45-10-00001492.0001001 / 22 MAR 16
Applicable to: ALL
The CFDS operates in two main modes :
‐ the NORMAL mode or REPORTING mode (in flight)
‐ the INTERACTIVE mode or MENU mode (on ground).
In NORMAL mode, the CFDS records and displays the failure messages transmitted by each system
BITE.
In INTERACTIVE mode, the CFDS allows any BITE to be connected with the MCDU in order to
display the maintenance data stored and formatted by the BITE or to initiate a test.

FAILURE/FAULT CLASSIFICATION
Ident.: DSC-45-10-00017082.0001001 / 21 MAR 16
Applicable to: ALL
The Centralized Fault Display System (CFDS) identifies the faulty system and puts any failures or
faults into one of three classes :
Class 1 : Failures indicated to the flight crew by means of the ECAM , or other flight deck effect.
They must be repaired or entered in the MEL (Minimum Equipment List) before the
aircraft can depart.
Class 2 : Faults indicated to maintenance personnel by the CFDS and which trigger a MAINT
status entry on the maintenance part of the ECAM status page. The aircraft can
operate with these faults, but they must be rectified within the timescale defined in the
Trouble Shooting Manual (TSM).
Class 3 : Faults indicated to maintenance personnel by the CFDS , but which do not trigger a
MAINT status. The operator may have these faults corrected at his convenience.

OVERVIEW
Ident.: DSC-46-10-10-00020333.0001001 / 17 MAR 17
Applicable to: ALL
The datalink has:
‐ AOC applications
L2 The flight crew uses the AOC applications to communicate with Airline Operational Center (AOC).
‐
L1 ATC applications
L2 The flight crew uses the ATC applications to communicate with Air Traffic Control (ATC) centers.
L1 The ATC datalink provides communication, navigation, and surveillance for Air Traffic Management
(ATM) services.
The ATC datalink applications enable air traffic controllers to follow the aircraft navigation, and
enhance the air traffic flow.
The datalink communication (messages exchange) between the aircraft and the ground is achieved:
‐ Automatically (without a flight crew action)
‐ Manually (with a flight crew action via the DCDU /MCDU and/or RMP).
The datalink messages are:
‐ Uplink (from a ground facilities to the flight crew), or
‐ Downlink (from the flight crew to an ground facilities).
COMMUNICATION AND NAVIGATION FOR AIR TRAFFIC MANAGEMENT
At the beginning of the flight, the flight crew sends a notification message to the ATC center, via
the MCDU, notification application .
L2 Refer to DSC-46-10-30-10 Notification for more information.
L1 Then, an air traffic controller will establish a connection between the aircraft and the ATC center.
As a result, the flight crew can exchange messages with the ATC center, via the DCDU (CPDLC
application ). The messages that the flight crew sends to the ATC center can be built with
present frames and modified via the MCDU.
Depending on the type of datalink exchange, the datalink uses one of the following communication
networks:
‐ ACARS (Refer to DSC-23-30-30-10 Introduction) for FANS A / FANS A+ applications
‐ ACARS Air Traffic Services (ATS 623) for optional applications
‐ Aeronautical Telecommunication Network (ATN) for FANS B / FANS B+ applications
L2 The ATN supports increasing volume of ATC and AOC communication.

L1 FUTURE AIR NAVIGATION SYSTEM (FANS)
The ATC datalink provides:
‐ FANS A applications, for operations in remote and in oceanic areas:
▪ Notification
▪ Controller-Pilot Data Link Communication (CPDLC)
▪ Automatic Dependent Surveillance Contract (ADS-C).
‐ FANS B applications, for operations in high-density continental areas:
▪ Notification
▪ Controller-Pilot Data Link Communication (CPDLC).
‐ Optional applications (compatible only with FANS A+ or FANS B+):
▪ Departure Clearance
▪ Oceanic Clearance
▪ Digital - Automatic Terminal Information Service (D-ATIS).
NAVIGATION AND SURVEILLANCE FOR AIR TRAFFIC MANAGEMENT
The Automatic Dependent Surveillance (ADS ) system sends aircraft position and aircraft
navigation data to ATC centers and other aircraft.
There are two different ADS applications:
‐ ADS-Contract (ADS-C)
The ADS-C automatically sends aircraft surveillance data to connected ATC centers via ATC
Datalink in remote or oceanic areas.
L2 Refer to DSC-46-10-30-30 ADS-C for more information, about ADS-C application.
‐
L1 ADS-Broadcast (ADS-B)
The ADS-B automatically broadcasts the aircraft position and navigation data to other users
(ATC centers or other aircraft) equipped with a Mode S transponder. The ATC Datalink
does not host the ADS-B .
L2 Refer to DSC-34-SURV-10-10 ADS-B OUT for more information, about the ADS-B.
L1 SERVICE PROVIDERS
The role of a communication service provider is to deliver a message from the A/C to a ground end
system and vice versa.
A datalink service provider ensures routing of datalink messages between the aircraft and ATC
center.
L2 For VHF communication, the two main providers are ARINC and SITA that operate worldwide
networks.

L1 REVERSION TO VOICE COMMUNICATION
Voice communication is a primary means of communication on board.
The flight crew must revert from datalink communication to voice communication, if:
‐ There is an emergency situation (exchange of a critical or urgent message)
‐ There is a doubt about a datalink message, the voice should be used for clarification
‐ An operational timer of datalink message exchange times out
‐ A response to an ATC message was not correctly transmitted via datalink.
CLOCK ACCURACY
The required time precision for ATC datalink communications is +/-1 s UTC. If this constraint is
not respected, a rejection of datalink message or acceptance of obsolete datalink message may
occur.
Not respecting this constraint may lead to the rejection of messages or to the acceptance of
obsolete messages.
For FANS operations, the flight crew should not manually set the clock during cockpit preparation.

AIR TRAFFIC SERVICE UNIT (ATSU)
The ATSU controls all datalink communication and automatically selects the best available
communication media:
‐ VHF
‐ HF
‐ SATCOM .
The ATSU hosts:
‐ AOC applications
‐ ATC applications
‐ Router services
The ATSU routers automatically select VHF frequency, depending on the aircraft position, in
accordance with an entered scan mask (airline policy).
The scan mask means that a list of VHF datalink service providers, selected via the VHF3
SCAN SELECT page, is scanned, in accordance with their priority level. The VHF scan mask is
compulsory for correct router operation. If there is no scan mask, the ECAM displays DATALINK
ATSU FAULT – ATSU INIT FAULT.
Refer to DSC-46-10-40-30 VHF3 SCAN SELECT for more information about the VHF3 SCAN
SELECT page.

SATELLITE COMMUNICATIONS (SATCOM)
The SATCOM system provides voice and data services. The voice/data are transmitted via
satellite, from the aircraft to the ground earth stations, and then switched through international
telecommunications networks (ARINC, SITA, etc.) to anywhere in the world (airline operational
centers, ATC centers, etc).
The ATSU (router) manages switching to/from SATCOM (ACARS environments only).
Ident.: DSC-46-10-10-10-00020321.0002001 / 17 MAR 17
VERY HIGH FREQUENCY (VHF)
The communication between the aircraft and VHF ground stations is established on a VHF
frequency. The datalink system primarily uses the VHF 3 radio communication system. The ATSU
router automatically selects a VHF frequency, depending on entered configuration, the scan mask
for VHF DataLink (VDL), and the aircraft position.
VHF data link service providers are available in each geographical area. Refer to
DSC-23-30-30-40 World Map ACARS Frequencies for a world map of VHF ACARS frequencies.
The VHF3 radio communication system has:
‐ Data mode
‐ Voice mode.
DATALINK/VOICE SWITCHING
The VHF 3 can be used in the voice mode, in case of:
‐ VHF 1 failure
‐ VHF 2 failure
‐ Specific AOC functions (operator's customization).
The flight crew can switch datalink/voice via the RMP , or via VHF3 VOICE DIRECTORY page
of the MCDU.
The voice frequency can be tuned by:
‐ ATSU automatically
‐ Fight crew, via the RMP.
Green HF VOICE memo indicates that VHF 3 datalink communication is interrupted, when the
VHF 3 transceiver operates in the voice mode.

The Auxiliary Power Unit (APU) is a self-contained unit that supplies the aircraft with pneumatic and
electrical power.
On the ground
‐ It supplies bleed air for starting the engines and for the air conditioning system
‐ It supplies electrical power to the electrical system.
During takeoff
‐ It supplies bleed air for air conditioning (for example, when optimum aircraft performance is
required).
In flight
‐ It backs up the electrical system
‐ It backs up the air conditioning
‐ It can be used to start the engines.
The APU may obtain power for starting from the aircraft's batteries or normal electrical system, or
from ground service.
APU starting is permitted throughout the normal flight envelope (Refer to LIM-APU Operational
Envelope).

The aircraft has four plug-type doors that open outward and forward. There are two doors on each
side of the fuselage (one door in the FWD section and one door in the AFT section).
The doors are operated from inside or outside of the aircraft. Normal operation is manual, with
hydraulic damping.
Each door has emergency features:
‐ An escape slide stowed in a container attached to the inboard lower side of the door
‐ A damper actuator in normal mode, the damper actuator limits the door travel; in emergency
mode, the damper actuator drives the automatic door opening
‐ A slide arming lever.
When the slide arming lever is in the ARMED position, the slide is connected to the floor brackets
on both sides of the door. When the door is open, the slide inflates and deploys automatically. If
the inflation bottle fails to discharge automatically, a crew member can open its valve to make it
discharge. Opening the door from outside disarms the door and the escape slide.
Each passenger door has :
‐ A mechanical locking indicator that confirms the locked or unlocked position of the door
‐ One warning light to show the ARMED or DISARMED indication of the escape slides
‐ One CABIN PRESSURE warning light that illuminates in the case of a residual pressure in the
cabin.

COCKPIT DOOR DESCRIPTION
Ident.: DSC-52-40-10-00017010.0001001 / 17 MAR 17
Applicable to: ALL
A forward-opening hinge door separates the cockpit from the passenger compartment. It has three
electric locking strikes, controlled by the flight crew. In normal conditions, when the door is closed,
they remain locked. When there is a request to enter the cockpit, the flight crew can authorize entry
by unlocking the door, that remains closed until it is pushed open.
When the flight crew does not respond to requests for entry, the door can also be unlocked by
the cabin crew, by entering a two to seven-digit code (programmed by the airline) on the keypad,
installed on the lateral side of the Forward Attendant Panel (FAP).
The door is bulletproof and fully compliant with rapid decompression requirements.
A mechanical override enables the flight crew to open the door from the cockpit side.
A deadbolt is installed at the level of the center latch area of the cockpit door. This deadbolt
bolts the door from the cockpit side, in the event that more than one locking latch strike fails, or in the
case of a total CLS failure.

Ident.: DSC-52-40-20-00001007.0001001 / 21 MAR 17
Applicable to: ALL
The Cockpit Door Locking System (CDLS) provides a means of electrically locking and unlocking the
cockpit door. This system is mainly composed of :
‐ A keypad, located in the forward cabin, near the cockpit door,
‐ A toggle switch, located in the center pedestal’s Cockpit Door panel,
‐ A control unit and its CKPT DOOR CONT normal panel, located on the overhead panel,
‐ A buzzer.
The keypad enables the cabin crew to request access to the cockpit. There are two different access
request types : “Routine” and “Emergency” access request.
The toggle switch enables the flight crew to lock or unlock the cockpit door, following an access
request, thereby allowing or denying the entry to the cockpit.
The cockpit door control unit is the system controller, in charge of :
‐ Locking or unlocking the door latches, upon flight crew action.
‐ Unlocking the door, in case of cockpit decompression (the door then opens towards the cockpit
under differential pressure).
‐ Indicating system failures of electrical latches and pressure sensors.
‐ Activating the access request buzzer and turning on the keypad LEDs.
The buzzer sounds in the cockpit for 1 to 9 s to indicate that a routine access request has been
made, or sounds continuously if an emergency access procedure has been initiated.

HOW TO OPERATE THE COCKPIT DOOR
Ident.: DSC-52-50-00020495.0001001 / 17 MAR 17
Applicable to: ALL
The secured cockpit door operation is controlled by a toggle sw that is located on the COCKPIT
DOOR panel (central pedestal).
DOOR OPENING FROM THE COCKPIT
To enable access to the cockpit, set and maintain the COCKPIT DOOR sw to the UNLOCK
position until the door is fully opened. When the door is fully opened, the COCKPIT DOOR sw can
be released to the NORM position.
DOOR CLOSING FROM THE COCKPIT
Close the door and check that the OPEN indicator goes off. If the COCKPIT DOOR sw is in the
NORM position, the door is locked and emergency access is possible from the cabin. When
the door is fully closed, if the cockpit door FAULT light is ON, Refer to PRO-ABN-DOOR [QRH]
COCKPIT DOOR FAULT.
Note: If the OPEN indicator is ON when the door is closed, the door may be unlocked. Repeat
the above-mentioned opening/closing procedure.
When the COCKPIT DOOR sw is in the LOCK position the door is locked. In this position, the
emergency access, the buzzer, and the keypad are inhibited for a preselected time (5 to 20 min).
ROUTINE ACCESS TO THE COCKPIT FROM THE CABIN (I.E. NORMAL ACCESS)
To request access to the cockpit from the cabin, use the keypad to enter the code and validate
with the “#” key.
L2 The Operator defines this code (between 0 and 7 digits).
L1 The buzzer sounds in the cockpit for 1 to 9 s (3 s by default).
After identification of the person (using the Cockpit Door Surveillance System ) that requests
access, set the COCKPIT DOOR sw to UNLOCK position to unlock the door. A steady green light

ENGINE
Ident.: DSC-70-10-00018361.0001001 / 21 MAR 16
Applicable to: ALL
The engine has:
‐ Two compressor turbine assemblies:
• The Low Pressure (LP) compressor turbine assembly,
• The High Pressure (HP) compressor turbine assembly.
L2 Each turbine operates its associated compressor via a shaft.
‐
L1 One accessory gearbox,
‐ One combustion chamber.
The engine operates as follows:
1. The LP compressor, compresses the air.
2. Then, the air is divided into two flows:
‐ Most of the air flows out of the core engine, and provides most of the engine thrust.
‐ The remaining air enters the core engine.
3. The HP compressor compresses the air that enters the core engine.
4. The fuel is added to and mixed with the compressed air of the core engine. The mixture is ignited
in the combustion chamber.
5. The gas that results from combustion drives the HP and the LP turbines.
The rotation speed of the fan provides the N1 engine parameter.
The rotation speed of the HP rotor provides the N2 engine parameter.
The N1 and N2 engine parameters appear on the Engine/Warning Display (E/WD).
L2 The N1 and N2 engine parameters are current rotation speeds displayed in percentage.
L1 The FADEC uses:
‐ The N1 engine parameter to compute the applicable engine thrust,
‐ The N1 and N2 engine parameters for engine control and monitoring.

Applicable to: ALL
The engines are in the manual mode provided the A/THR function is:
‐ not armed or
‐ armed and not active (thrust lever not in the A/THR operating range and no alpha floor).
In these conditions, each engine is controlled by the position of its thrust lever.
The pilot controls thrust by moving the thrust lever between the IDLE and TOGA positions. Each
position of the thrust lever within these limits corresponds to an N1.
When the thrust lever is in a detent, the corresponding N1 is equal to the N1 rating limit computed by
the FADEC for that engine.

When the thrust lever is in the FLX/MCT detent:
‐On the ground
The engine runs at the flex takeoff thrust rating if the crew has selected a flex takeoff temperature
on the MCDU that is higher than the current Total Air Temperature (TAT).
Otherwise the engine produces Maximum Continuous Thrust (MCT).
‐After takeoff
The pilot can change from FLX to MCT by moving the thrust lever to TOGA or CL, then back to
MCT. After that, he cannot use the FLX rating.
Note: Setting the thrust lever out of FLX/MCT detent without reaching TOGA or CL detent has
no effect.
The pilot can always get MAX TO thrust by setting the thrust levers to TOGA.

IDG COOLING SYSTEM
Ident.: DSC-70-40-00001593.0001001 / 26 JUL 12
Applicable to: ALL
Some of the fuel flowing out of the HMU goes to cool the oil systems of the Integrated Drive
Generators (IDGs). It then returns to the fuel pump unit or to the tank.
The Fuel Return Valve (FRV ), controlled by the FADEC, ensures that this flow is adequate.
L3 At low engine thrust, if the oil going into the IDG is too hot, the cooling fuel is sent back to the tank
(300 kg/h).
If oil temperature continues to rise, the ECU increases the minimum N2.
If oil temperature still keeps rising, the FADEC increases the fuel flow to the tank (from 300 to
600 kg/h, depending on fuel return temperature).
The fuel return valve is always mixing hot fuel with cold fuel so that the temperature of fuel returning
to the tank stays below 100 °C (from 200 to 400 kg/h, depending on fuel return temperature).
Fuel recirculation to the tank is inhibited (FRV closed) in the following cases :
‐ at engine shutdown
‐ during takeoff and climb
‐ if :
• wing tank level is below about 300 kg (660 lb).
• there is fuel overflow in the surge tank
• fuel feed is by gravity only.
‐ when fuel temperature in the wing tank in flight is above 52.5 °C
Note: On the ground, high fuel temperature in the wing tank or fuel overflow in the surge tank
does not inhibit the fuel recirculation to the wing tank (FRV remains open).

In case of start attempt in flight, when the ENG MASTER sw is ON, both igniters are supplied.
CONTINUOUS IGNITION
Ident.: DSC-70-80-30-00001620.0004001 / 21 MAR 16
Applicable to: ALL
Continuous ignition may be selected either manually or automatically to maintain engine combustion.
MANUAL SELECTION
In flight, continuous ignition is on when the ENG MODE selector is on IGN/START, if the
corresponding engine is running.
Only one igniter is selected. If failed, both igniters are automatically selected.
On the ground after the engine is started, because ignition cuts off automatically, the flight crew
must switch the ENG MODE selector to NORM then back to IGN/START to turn on continuous
ignition.

Applicable to: ALL
The engine starting system consists of an air turbine starter and a start valve.
The start valve admits air supplied by the pneumatic system to operate the starter.
The FADEC controls the start valve electrically and bleed pressure is required for opening the start
valve. If electrical control fails when the aircraft is on the ground, a handle allows the start valve to be
operated manually.
AUTOMATIC STARTING
Applicable to: ALL
Ident.: DSC-70-80-40-10-00020932.0001001 / 21 MAR 17
GENERAL
This sequence is under the full authority of the FADEC, which controls:
‐ The start valve
‐ The igniters
‐ The fuel HP valves.
Ident.: DSC-70-80-40-10-00020933.0001001 / 21 MAR 17
PROTECTION
The FADEC :
‐ Detects a hot start, a hung start, a stall, or no light up
‐ Announces FAULT and identifies the fault in an ECAM message
‐ Runs an abort sequence if a start aborts on the ground
• Closes the HP valve
• Closes the start valve
• Turns off ignition
• Cranks the engine crank after the start abort in order to clear out fuel vapors
• Controls any additional start attempts.
Ident.: DSC-70-80-40-10-00020934.0001001 / 21 MAR 17
DRY CRANKING
Depending on the engine thermal state, the FADEC can initiate a pre-start motoring (dry cranking)
up to 60 s. Pre-start motoring is active during all ground starts and ground cranking procedures to
limit the engine core speed below the bow rotor critical speed (bow rotor protection). The motoring
time will vary depending on the residual thermal condition of the engine and depending on the

WINDMILLING
For an in-flight start, the FADEC decides whether the engine is windmilling fast enough or
needs assistance from the starter in view of current engine parameters and flight environment
parameters.
Flight crew may interrupt this start sequence by moving the ENG MASTER sw to OFF.

‐ Closes the LP and the HP fuel shutoff valves
‐ Stops to energize the ignitor
‐ Closes the engine start valve.
MANUAL STARTING
Ident.: DSC-70-80-40-00020937.0001001 / 17 MAR 17
Applicable to: ALL
If an automatic start is not successful, the flight crew can perform a manual start.
In the manual start sequence, the FADEC has limited control. As a result, the flight crew must
monitor engine acceleration.
To perform a manual start, the flight crew must :
‐ Set the ENG MODE selector to IGN/START
‐ Set the ENG MAN START pb-sw to ON
‐ Set the ENG MASTER sw to ON.
The FADEC:
‐ Opens the engine start valve when the flight crew :
• Sets the ENG MODE selector to IGN/START
• Sets the ENG MAN START pb-sw to ON
‐ Opens the HP shutoff valve, and operates both igniters when the flight crew sets the ENG
MASTER sw to ON
‐ Closes the engine start valve, and cuts off the ignition when N2 reaches 50 %.
For more information about the manual start sequence,Refer to PRO-NOR-SUP-ENG Manual
Engine Start - General.
The FADEC makes a passive survey of the engine during the starting sequence : the flight crew is
made aware of an abnormal start by a proper ECAM warning and has to interrupt the start sequence.
The FADEC has not the authority to abort the manual start :
‐ in flight
‐ on ground, except if the start EGT limit is exceeded before reaching 50 % N2. In this case only,
the FADEC aborts the start.
In flight, the FADEC always commands a starter-assisted air start.

M (1) Localization DU Title DU identification DU date
Reason for issue:
Following the introduction of a TCAS monitoring function in the Flight Warning Computer (FWC ) F6 and F7, an
issue has been detected on aircraft equipped with HONEYWELL TCAS computers.
To operate, the TCAS needs to receive the ADR barometric altitude through the active transponder and the aircraft
heading through IR1.
As a consequence, on ground, an undue NAV TCAS FAULT alert is triggered when:
‐ The ADIRUs are set to OFF or,
‐ IR 1 is not aligned: at aircraft power up before IR 1 alignment or during transit when performing a fast or a
complete alignment of IR1.
As soon as the ADIRU s are powered and the IR 1 is aligned, the NAV TCAS FAULT automatically disappears.
Therefore, on ground, if the alert is triggered while the ADIRU s are OFF, or while IR1 is not yet aligned, the flight
crew can disregard the alert.
The FWC F8 corrects the issue.

Criteria: 34-1443, P7929
Applicable to: ALL
Impacted DU: 00015298 Taxi - Radar
Reason for issue:
When in the AUTO position, the MultiScan AUTO mode adjusts the tilt according to the altitude of the aircraft.
In cruise, MULTISCAN function provides a large view of the weather ahead, ie display of weather cells located on
and below aircraft path.
At low altitudes (below FL 200), the tilt is adjusted upward to manage clutter from strong ground targets. In some
cases, the weather may be low-lying and therefore may be below the radar beam and not be displayed until the
aircraft descends closer to the precipitation level.
Therefore, this Temporary Revision is issued to indicate that, when the Multiscan is in the AUTO position, the GAIN
should be manually set to +4 when the aircraft is below FL 200.
In addition, the flight crew should temporarily set the MULTISCAN sw to MAN, if:
‐ If the weather is good, or not significant, in order to check that the radar is operating correctly: down tilt until
displaying ground echoes
‐ The weather display is ambiguous or unexpected, in order to better analyze the weather situation using manual
tilt according to standard technique
‐ In particular below FL 200, for situations with low-level weather, weather with low reflectivity or in front of
suspected active cells, the flight crew should switch to Manual mode and adjust the tilt setting downward until
the weather is detected or the ground clutter appears on the upper part of the display.
In addition, the flight crew may increase the manual gain control to display lower reflectivity targets. The manual
gain control can be increased in both AUTO and Manual modes to display lower levels of weather. In both cases,
ground clutter may also be displayed as a result of low settings and/or increased gain.

Reason for issue:
Issue 2:
The temporary information is reissued to provide more information concerning BPS issue in line with EASA SIB
2016-05.
Issue 1:
The temporary revision is issued to advise operators that above the transition level, when the flight crew selects
"STD" on the FCU, the last QNH or QFE barometric pressure setting is transmitted to the ground, instead of the
standard pressure value (1 013 hPa ).
Only the FCU selected altitude, if used by the ATC on ground, may be misinterpreted. The real aircraft altitude
transmitted to the ground is not affected, because the standard barometric altitude is transmitted, regardless of the
barometric setting selected on the FCU.
In addition, the "STD" value is correctly transmitted to other aircraft systems.

PROCEDURES AND STATUS
The Procedure and Status section provides the procedure and the Status (including approach
procedure, limitations, inoperative systems, etc.), with additional information when relevant.
CONDITIONS
BLACK SQUARE
When several procedures appear under the same title, a black square marks the starting point
of each procedure.
For example:
Black squares also indicate parts of a procedure among which only one is applicable.
For example:
The ECAM does not display black squares.
BLACK DOT
If an action depends on a precondition, a black dot identifies the precondition. If the precondition
appears on ECAM, it appears in LARGE LETTERS. If not, it appears in small letters.

FCOM ← B → 05 SEP 17
INDENTATION
Indentation is used in order to identify when an action depends on a precondition/flight
phase/procedure.
For example:
‐ The APPR SPEED is equal to VREF +30 kt only if the flaps are locked, because "APPR
SPEED......VREF +30" is indented below "• If flaps locked".
‐ The MAX SPEED of 250 kt does not depend on the flaps locked condition because it is
aligned with "• If Flaps locked". Therefore, MAX SPEED has to be respected whether the
flaps are locked or not.
MEMORY ITEMS
Memory items are items that the flight crew must memorize, in order to be able to rapidly apply
them, without referring to the ECAM , and/or to the QRH.
Memory items are surrounded by a black box in the FCOM /QRH procedure , in order to enable
the flight crew to easily identify them.

used.
Ident.: PRO-ABN-ABN-00-B-00020059.0001001 / 17 MAR 17
EMERGENCY CALL
Some abnormal/emergency procedures require flight and cabin crews to use specific phraseology
when communicating with each other. To ensure effective communication between the flight and
cabin crews, the standard phraseology may be recalled at the preflight phase.
FROM TO PHRASEOLOGY REMARKS

SYSTEM CONDITIONS RECOMMENDED ACTION
Ident.: PRO-ABN-ABN-ADV-A-00012122.0002001 / 02 MAY 17
OIL PRESS
P < 16 PSI ‐ If oil pressure is between 16 and 13 PSI
(advisory), continue normal operation.
‐ If oil pressure is below 13 PSI (red indication) without
the ENG OIL LO PR ECAM warning, continue normal
engine operation (it can be assumed that the oil pressure
transducer is faulty).
In both cases, monitor other engine parameters especially oil
temperature and oil quantity.
OIL PRESS
P > 90 PSI
Monitor other engine parameters closely for symptoms of
engine malfunction.
If high oil pressure is not accompanied by other abnormal
indications operate engine normally for remainder of flight.
Record high oil pressure and corresponding N2 readings for
maintenance action.
OIL TEMP
T > 140 °C
A rise in oil temperature during normal steady-state
operation indicates a system malfunction and should be
closely monitored for other symptoms of engine malfunction.
Note: If the OIL TEMP rise follows thrust reduction,
increasing thrust may reduce oil temperature.
In addition, a rise in oil temperature could be related to the
IDG oil cooling system. To reduce oil temperature rise before
limits are reached, the following are recommended:
1. Low Speed - Increase engine speed to increase fuel flow
and thereby cool IDG oil.
2. High Speed - Reduce generator load or turn off
generator. If oil temperature continues to rise,
mechanically disconnect IDG.
OIL QTY
< 3 qt
If oil quantity low at high power setting, expect level increase
after power reduction.
Monitor affected engine oil parameters and crosscheck with
other engine - If pressure and temperature remain normal,
continue normal operation.
NAC TEMP ≥ 240 °C Monitor engine parameters and crosscheck with other
engine

L2 In the case of simultaneous pitot icing and in the same amount, ADR 2 and ADR 3 speeds will be
in agreement, but incorrect. Therefore, flight controls will consider the remaining correct source as
being faulty, and will reject the only correct source. The following ECAM procedure avoids that the
flight controls use two erroneous, but coherent, sources.
L1 If ADR 1 operative and ON:
ADR 2(3) P/B..........................................................................................................................OFF
L2 Depending on the status of the static, AOA , and TAT heating, the ECAM requires that either
ADR 2 or 3 be switched OFF.
Note: In the case of subsequent, significant, speed discrepancy between the two remaining
ADR s, the “ADR DISAGREE” ECAM caution will trigger.
L1 If ADR 1 failed or OFF:
L2 No action is required, as long as there are no icing conditions, in order to keep two independent
speed sources.
L1 IF ICING EXPECTED:
ADR 2(3) P/B................................................................................................................... OFF
L2 Depending on the status of the static, AOA , and TAT heating, the ECAM requires that
either ADR 2 or 3 be switched OFF.
L1 UNREL SPD PROC.....................................................................................................APPLY
L2 Only one ADR is available, and the corresponding pitot probe may be affected by ice
accretion. Be prepared to use the UNRELIABLE SPEED INDICATION procedure (Refer to
procedure).

Applicable to: ALL
IF NO BRAKING AVAILABLE:
REV........................................................................................................................................ MAX
BRAKE PEDALS........................................................................................................... RELEASE
Brake pedals should be released when the A/SKID & N/W STRG sw is switched OFF, since
the pedal force or displacement produces more braking action in alternate mode than in normal
mode.
A/SKID OFF...................................................................................................................... ORDER
L2 The PF orders the PM to set the A/SKID & N/W STRG sw to OFF.
L1 A/SKID & N/W STRG............................................................................................................. OFF
Braking system reverts to alternate mode.
BRAKE PEDALS................................................................................................................PRESS
Apply brake with care, since initial pedal force or displacement produces more braking action in
alternate mode than in normal mode.
MAX BRK PR..................................................................................................................1000 PSI
Monitor brake pressure or BRAKES PRESS indicator. Limit brake pressure to approximately
1 000 PSI and, at low ground speed, adjust brake pressure as required.
If STILL NO BRAKING:
PARKING BRAKE...........................................SHORT AND SUCCESSIVE APPLICATIONS
Use short successive parking brake applications to stop the aircraft. Brake onset
asymmetry may be felt at each parking brake application. If possible, delay the use of the
parking brake until low speed, to reduce the risk of tire burst and lateral control difficulties.

Applicable to: ALL
If DU flashes:
This phenomenon may be due to Intermittent Electrical Power Supply Interruptions. It is
evidenced by one, or a combination, of the following :
‐ Flashing of PFD , ND , ECAM DUs (blank screen or INVALID DATA message),
‐ Flashing of MCDU,
‐ Intermittent flight control law reversion.
If captain PFD, ND, ECAM DUs or MCDU 1 affected:

L2 AC BUS 1 normally supplies the AC ESS BUS and, through TR1, the DC ESS BUS. In the case of
an AC BUS 1 FAULT, both the AC and DC ESS BUS will be lost and therefore the AC ESS BUS
FAULT and the DC ESS BUS FAULT will be displayed on the ECAM.
However, for aircraft equipped with AC ESS FEED Auto Switching , the AC ESS BUS and the
DC ESS BUS will automatically recover, due to the fact that the AC BUS 2 will automatically supply
the AC ESS BUS.
The flight crew can manually recover the AC ESS BUS and the DC ESS BUS by setting the AC
ESS FEED pb-sw to ALTN , as requested by the AC ESS BUS FAULT ECAM procedure

[QRH] HIGH ENGINE VIBRATION
Ident.: PRO-ABN-ENG-00012294.0006001 / 17 MAR 17
Applicable to: ALL
The VIB advisory on ECAM (N1 ≥ 6 units, N2 ≥ 4.3 units) is mainly a guideline for the flight crew to
monitor engine parameters more closely.
The ECAM vibration advisory alone does not require engine shut down.
Note: 1. High engine vibration may be accompanied by cockpit and cabin smoke and/or the
smell of burning. This may be due only to compressor blade tip contact with associated
abradable seals.
2. High N1 vibration are generally accompanied by perceivable airframe vibrations. High
N2 vibration can occur without perceivable airframe vibrations.
ENG PARAMETERS .............................................................................................................. CHECK
Check engine parameters and especially EGT; crosscheck with other engine. Report in
maintenance log.
If icing suspected:
An increase of engine vibration in icing conditions with or without engine anti-ice may be due
to fan blades and/or spinner icing. Icing may be suspected if N1 vibration occurs without other
engine parameters variation.
A/THR .................................................................................................................................... OFF
THRUST (one engine at a time)........................................... IDLE THEN INCREASE N1 > 80 %
Reduce thrust to idle if flight conditions permit.
If ENG ANTI ICE is off, switch it ON at idle fan speed, one engine after the other with
approximately 30 s interval.
To shed ice, it may be necessary to perform several thrust variations between idle and a thrust
compatible with the flight phase. For efficient ice shedding, thrust should be increased to at
least 80% N1 if flight conditions permit.
After each thrust variation, vibrations should decrease, indicating the progress of the ice
shedding.
When the ice is shed, vibrations should return to normal and the flight crew can resume normal
engine operation.
If icing not suspected:
If above vibration advisory and flight conditions permit:
THRUST (affected engine).............................. REDUCE BELOW ADVISORY THRESHOLD
After landing: SHUT DOWN ENGINE WHEN POSSIBLE

[QRH] ON GROUND - NON ENG SHUTDOWN AFTER ENG MASTER OFF
Ident.: PRO-ABN-ENG-00020795.0001001 / 17 MAR 17
Applicable to: ALL
The normal procedure to shut down an engine is to set the ENG MASTER lever to OFF. In the case
where the engine does not shut down as expected, use the following procedure:
ECAM FUEL PAGE................................................................................................................SELECT
LP FUEL VALVE POSITION (affected engine)....................................................................... CHECK
If LP fuel valve closed (cross line amber):
NO CREW ACTION
If LP fuel valve open:
ENG FIRE pb-sw (affected engine)...................................................................................PRESS
Using the ENG FIRE pb-sw will force the LP fuel valve to close. The engine will shut down after
a time delay.
GROUND STAFF.................................................................................................................... NOTIFY
IN BOTH CASES, ENGINE WILL SHUT DOWN AFTER A TIME DELAY UP TO 2 MIN 30 S
The engine shuts down when the remaining fuel between the LP fuel valve and the nozzles is
burned. The time delay for engine shutdown depends on airport altitude and fuel recirculation
system operation.

L2 This warning inhibits the ELEC EMER CONFIG warning, and provides the flight crew with the
immediate actions to take in the case of a dual engine failure. This procedure then directs the flight
crew to apply the applicable QRH procedure, depending on if there is fuel or not.
When applying the ENG DUAL FAILURE QRH procedure:
‐ If one or more engines are recovered, apply the corresponding ECAM procedure instead
‐ If no engines are recovered, continue to apply the ENG DUAL FAILURE QRH procedure. If time
permits, clear ECAM alerts, and check the ECAM STATUS page.

L2 Resetting FAC 1 enables the recovery of characteristics speed displayed on the PFD.
Resetting FAC 1 also enables rudder trim recovery, even if no indication is available.
When the hydraulic power is lost, the right aileron is lost, and is in the upfloat position.
Rudder trim may be used to compensate for this upfloating aileron.
L1 IF NO FUEL:
OPT SPD.....................................................................................................220 KT/GREEN DOT
L2 If there is no fuel remaining, the optimum speed is the green dot speed.
Initially fly 220 kt then refer to the QRH procedure to get the accurate green dot speed.

For any case of thrust lever disagree (TO, FLEX, or
between Idle and MCT ), the FADEC will command
idle thrust for the approach when slats are extended
(or when the Mach number is less than 0.47, if
associated EIU is failed). It is independent of the
autothrust condition. The affected engine’s thrust
remains definitively at idle, even for go-around.

L1 THR LEVER (AFFECTED).................................................................................................... IDLE
In flight:
L2 If the selected thrust lever position at the time of fault detection is:
TO or FLEX: FADEC freezes TO or FLEX TO thrust until slat retraction. At slat retraction it
selects CLB thrust.
Between IDLE and MCT: in manual thrust setting mode, engine rating freezes at CLB , or
IDLE with slats extended (or MN < 0.47 if the FADEC no longer receives the slats position
due to EIU failure). It is possible to activate autothrust. If selected, autothrust mode manages
thrust between idle and CLB.
L1 ENG (AFFECTED) AT IDLE
L2 For any case of thrust lever fault (TO, FLEX or between IDLE and MCT) the FADEC will
command idle thrust for the approach when slats are extended (or when MN < 0.47 if
associated EIU is failed). It is independant of the autothrust condition. Thrust of affected engine

Refer to the fuel flow indication. As a guideline, determine the fuel
consumption in clean configuration at the same altitude without airspeed
limitation (e.g. From ALTERNATE FLIGHT PLANNING tables) and multiply this
result by the applicable Fuel Penalty Factor provided in the QRH, to obtain the
fuel penalty required to reach the destination in the current configuration. Refer

[QRH] FUEL LEAK
Ident.: PRO-ABN-FUEL-00018665.0003001 / 17 MAR 17
Applicable to: ALL
A fuel leak may be detected, if:
‐ The sum of FOB and FU significantly less than FOB at engine start or is decreasing, or
‐ A passenger observes fuel spray from engine/pylon or wingtip/sharklet, or
‐ The total fuel quantity is decreasing at an abnormal rate, or
‐ A fuel imbalance is developing, or
‐ Fuel quantity in a tank is decreasing too fast (leak from engine/pylon, or hole in a tank), or
‐ The Fuel flow is excessive (leak from engine), or
‐ Fuel is smelt in the cabin.
‐ The destination EFOB turns to amber on the F-PLN (or on the FUEL PRED) page, or
‐ ”DEST EFOB BELOW MIN” appears on the MCDU scratchpad.
If visibility permits, leak source may be identified by a visual check from the cabin.
WHEN A LEAK IS CONFIRMED
LAND ASAP
Leak from engine/pylon confirmed by excessive fuel flow or visual check:
THR LEVER (affected engine)...........................................................................................IDLE
ENG MASTER (affected engine)........................................................................................OFF
FUEL X FEED...........................................................................................................AS RQRD
If the leak stops, the crossfeed valve can now be opened to re-balance fuel quantity, or to
enable use of fuel from both wings.
DO NOT RESTART AFFECTED ENGINE
Leak from engine/pylon not confirmed or leak not located:
Stop any fuel transfer, and then monitor the depletion rate of each inner tank, to determine if
the leak is from an engine or a wing, or from the Center tank, or the APU feeding line.
FUEL X FEED...........................................................................................MAINTAIN CLOSED
The crossfeed valve must remain closed to prevent the leak from affecting both sides.
CTR TK PUMP 1................................................................................................................ OFF
CTR TK PUMP 2................................................................................................................ OFF
Each engine is fed via its associated inner tank only.
INNER TANK FUEL QUANTITIES........................................................................... MONITOR

CAUTION Do not apply the FUEL IMBALANCE procedure. Approach and
landing can be done, even with one full wing/one empty wing.
If both inner tanks deplete at a similar rate:
LEAK FROM CENTER TANK OR APU FEEDING LINE SUSPECTED
If fuel smell in cabin:

[QRH] LANDING WITH ABNORMAL L/G
Applicable to: ALL
Ident.: PRO-ABN-LG-AD-00018650.0002001 / 17 MAR 17
The procedure is intended for use when the nose or main landing gear fail to extend and/or lock
down following the application of the L/G GRVTY EXTN procedure.
It is preferable to use any available landing gear, rather than carry out a belly landing.
Under these circumstances, a hard surface runway landing is recommended.
Full advantage should be taken of any foam, spread on the runway.
CAUTION Do not apply this procedure if at least one green triangle is displayed on each
landing gear on the WHEEL SD page. This is sufficient to confirm that the landing
gear is downlocked. Disregard any possible GPWS "TOO LOW GEAR" aural alert.

For approach:
GPWS SYS.............................................................................................................................OFF
L/G lever............................................................................................................... CHECK DOWN
GRVTY GEAR EXTN handcrank....................................................... TURN BACK TO NORMAL
Rotating three turns back to normal may, in certain cases, pressurize the landing gear down
actuators, thereby reducing the probability of gear collapse after touchdown.
DO NOT ARM AUTOBRAKE
Manual braking will enable better pitch and roll control. Moreover, with at least one main
landing gear in the abnormal position the autobrake cannot be activated (ground spoilers not
armed).
EMER EXIT LT.........................................................................................................................ON
CABIN REPORT...............................................................................................................OBTAIN
A/SKID & N/W STRG............................................................................................................. OFF
With one main landing gear not extended, the reference speed used by the anti-skid to detect
a wheel blockage is not correctly initialized. As a result, the anti-skid must be switched off to
prevent permanent brake release.
MAX BRAKE PR : 1 000 PSI
Modulate the brake pressure to 1 000 PSI because the anti-skid is off.
If one or both MAIN L/G abnormal: DO NOT ARM GROUND SPOILERS
To keep as much roll authority as possible for maintaining the wings level.
Ground spoiler extension would prevent spoilers from acting as roll surfaces.
RAM AIR...................................................................................................................................ON
To ensure full depressurization of the aircraft before impact.
DOME LT.................................................................................................................................DIM
Set the dome light to DIM to ensure that there is a light source after both engines are shut
down after landing, in order to see and read the BRAKE PRESS indicator.
At 500 ft AGL:

Ident.: PRO-ABN-LG-AD-00018654.0001001 / 17 MAR 17
At flare, touchdown and rollout:
Engines should be shut down sufficiently early to ensure fuel is shut off before the nacelles
impact, but sufficiently late to ensure adequate hydraulic supplies for the flight controls.
Engine pumps continue to supply adequate hydraulic pressure for 30 s after engine shutdown.
DO NOT USE REVERSE
If NOSE L/G abnormal:
KEEP NOSE UP
After touchdown, keep the nose off the runway by the use of the elevator. Then, lower the
nose on to the runway before elevator control is lost.
BRAKES................................................................................................. SMOOTHLY APPLY
Adapt braking to the efficiency of the elevator.
BEFORE NOSE IMPACT : ALL ENG MASTERS OFF
If one MAIN L/G abnormal:
AT TOUCHDOWN : ALL ENG MASTERS OFF
KEEP AFFECTED SIDE WING UP
Use roll control, as necessary, to maintain the unsupported wing up as long as possible.
If both MAIN L/G abnormal:

[QRH] L/G GRAVITY EXTENSION
Ident.: PRO-ABN-LG-00011286.0011001 / 17 MAR 17
Applicable to: ALL
CAUTION Do not apply this procedure if at least one green triangle is displayed on each
landing gear on the WHEEL SD page. This is sufficient to confirm that the landing
gear is downlocked. Disregard any possible GPWS "TOO LOW GEAR" aural alert.
GRAVITY GEAR EXTN handcrank......................................................................... PULL AND TURN
Rotate the handle clockwise 3 turns until reaching the mechanical stop, even if resistance is felt.
L/G lever .................................................................................................................................. DOWN
The landing gear lever should be confirmed in the DOWN position for the following reasons:
‐ To extinguish the UNLK lights on the landing gear indication panel
‐ To prevent the L/G CTL message from appearing on the WHEEL SD page
‐ To minimize the risk of landing gear retraction on the ground, due to an unknown system fault,
when the free-fall system is reset.
GEAR DOWN indications (if available)....................................................................................CHECK
The L/G LGCIU 2 FAULT or BRAKES SYS 1(2) FAULT alert may be spuriously triggered after a
gravity extension.
Note: 1. Depending on aircraft speed, the display may show the landing gear doors in the amber
transit position.
2. In the event of gravity extension, caused by the failure of both LGCIU s, landing gear
position indication on ECAM are lost. LDG GEAR lights on LDG GEAR control panel
remain available, if LGCIU 1 is electrically supplied.
3. If the three green downlock arrows are not on, it is possible that the handcrank is not at
the mechanical stop. Check that the handcrank is firmly against the mechanical stop.
If successful:
DO NOT RESET LDG GEAR GRVTY EXTN
Do not reset the free-fall system. This will avoid such undesirable effects as further loss of fluid,
in the event of a leak, or possible landing gear unlocking, in the event of a gear selector valve
jamming in the UP position.
Note: The free-fall system may be reset in flights used for training. If the green hydraulic
system is available, resetting the free-fall system allows the landing gear doors to be
closed and the nosewheel steering to operate.
The flight crew should not reset the free-fall system on the ground after flight.

[QRH] BOMB ON BOARD
Ident.: PRO-ABN-MISC-00012095.0002001 / 17 MAR 17
Applicable to: ALL
COCKPIT PROCEDURES
BACKGROUND
To avoid the activation of an altitude-sensitive bomb, the cabin altitude should not exceed the
value at which the bomb has been discovered.
To reduce the effects of the explosion, the aircraft should fly as long as possible with
approximately 1 PSI differential pressure, to help the blast go outwards. 1 PSI differential
pressure corresponds to a 2 500 ft difference between the aircraft and the cabin altitude.
These conditions are achieved by using the manual pressure control.
PROCEDURE
The following procedure assumes that it is initiated during climb or cruise:
First, maintain the cabin altitude using manual pressure mode.
While maintaining the cabin altitude, descend the aircraft to the cabin altitude + 2 500 ft and
maintain delta P at 1 PSI.
During further steps of descent, maintain delta P at 1 PSI using the cabin V/S target selector.
During the approach, use automatic pressure mode in order to reduce the differential pressure
to zero at touchdown.
If flight conditions are different, the crew should adapt the procedure, bearing in mind the
above-mentioned principles (background paragraph).

EVAC.....................................................................................................................PREPARE
If landing and evacuation NOT possible within 30 min:
AIRCRAFT (IF CLIMBING).................................................................................LEVEL OFF
CABIN PRESS MODE SEL........................................................................................... MAN
The purpose is to immediately prevent the cabin altitude from increasing, in order to avoid
the activation of an altitude-sensitive bomb.
MAINTAIN CAB ALT
Use MAN V/S CTL selector to maintain the cabin altitude at the value it had when the
bomb was discovered.
ATC / COMPANY..................................................................................................... NOTIFY
To obtain expert advice from explosive specialists.
TRGT SPEED: PREFER LO IAS
Low speed could reduce the consequences of possible structural damage, if the bomb
explodes.
DESCENT TO CAB ALT + 2 500 ft or MEA - MORA.............................................INITIATE
Descending to 2 500 ft above the cabin altitude gives a cabin differential pressure of
approximately 1 PSI, which helps to ensure that the blast goes outwards, if the bomb
explodes.
AVOID SHARP MANEUVERS
Which might result in the bomb moving.
MAINTAIN CAB ALT
Use MAN V/S CTL selector to maintain the cabin altitude. Initially brief UP input should be
required; but, be careful not to increase the cabin altitude.
When at CAB ALT + 2 500 ft:
MAINTAIN 1 PSI ΔP
Use MAN V/S CTL selector to adjust delta P to 1 PSI. Brief DN input should be initially
required to set 0 ft/min cabin vertical speed.
GALLEY....................................................................................................................OFF
FUEL RESERVES......................................................................................DETERMINE
When flying at cabin altitude + 2 500 ft, fuel consumption in CONF 1, with landing gear

PASSENGERS.................................................................................... LEAD AWAY FROM BOMB
Move passengers at least 4 seat rows away from the bomb location. On full flights, it may be
necessary to double up passengers to achieve standoff from the suspect device.
Passengers near the bomb should protect their heads with pillows, blankets.
All passengers must remain seated with seatbelts on and, if possible, head below the top of the
head rest. Seat backs and tray tables should be in their full upright position.
Service items may need to be collected in order to secure tray tables.
PORTABLE ELECTRONIC DEVICES....................................................................... SWITCH OFF
The cabin crews must command passengers to switch off all portable electronic devices.
BOMB............................................................................................CHECK NO ANTI-LIFT DEVICE
To check for an anti-lift switch or lever, slide a string or stiff card, (such as the emergency
information card) under the bomb, without disturbing the bomb.
If the string or card cannot be slipped under the bomb, it may indicate that an anti-lift switch or
lever is present and that the bomb cannot be moved.
If a card is used and can be slid under the bomb, leave it under the bomb and move together
with the bomb.
If it is not possible to move the bomb, then it should be surrounded with a single thin sheet of
plastic (e. g. trash bag), then with wetted materials, and other blast attenuation materials such as
seat cushions and soft carry-on baggage. Move personnel as far away from the bomb location as

Build up a platform of solid baggage against the door up to about 25 cm (10 in) below the
middle of the door.
On top of this, build up at least 25 cm (10 in) of wetted material such as blankets and pillows.
Place a single thin sheet of plastic (e. g. trash bag) on top of the wetted materials. This
prevents any possible short circuit.
CAUTION DO NOT OMIT THE PLASTIC SHEETS, AS THE SUSPECT DEVICE

Note: A bomb location indicator line is a 6 to 8 ft (1.8 to 2.4 m) (e.g. neckties, headset
cord, or belts connected together) preferably of constrating color, that helps the
responding bomb squad find the precise location of the suspect device within the
LRBL stack once constructed.
Position the bomb indication line from the location on the platform where you will place the
suspect device, EXTENDING outward into the aisle.
BOMB..............................................................................................................MOVE TO LRBL
Carefully carry in the attitude found and place on top of the wetted materials in the same
attitude and as close to the door structure as possible.
CAUTION Ensure that the suspect device, when placed on the stack against the door,
is above the slide pack but not against the door handle, and if possible,
avoid placement in the view port.
LEAST RISK BOMB LOCATION (LRBL)...............................................................COMPLETE
Place an additional single thin sheet of plastic over the bomb.
CAUTION DO NOT OMIT THE PLASTIC SHEETS, AS THE SUSPECT DEVICE
COULD GET WET AND POSSIBLY SHORT CIRCUIT ELECTRONIC
COMPONENTS CAUSING INADVERTENT DEVICE ACTIVATION.
Build up at 25 cm (10 in) of wetted material around the sides and on top of the bomb.
DO NOT PLACE ANYTHING BETWEEN THE BOMB AND THE DOOR, AND MINIMIZE
AIRSPACE AROUND THE BOMB.
The idea is to build up a protective surrounding of the bomb so that the explosive force is
directed in the only unprotected area into the door structure.
Fill the area around the bomb with seat cushions and other soft materials such as hand
luggage (saturated with water or any other nonflammable liquid) up to the cabin ceiling,

[QRH] SEVERE TURBULENCE
Applicable to: ALL
Ident.: PRO-ABN-MISC-10-00002202.0001001 / 17 MAR 17
Whenever possible, avoid areas with known or forecasted severe turbulence. If turbulence is
unavoidable, aim to keep the speed in the region of the target speed given in this section, so as to
provide the best protection against the effect of gust on the structural limits, whilst maintaining an
adequate margin above VLS.
Sufficient buffet margin exists at optimum altitude. In order to further increase the margin to buffet
onset, consider descending to a lower altitude.
Severe turbulence is defined as turbulence that causes large, abrupt changes in altitude and/or
attitude. It usually causes large variations in airspeed. Occupants are forced violently against their
seat belts and loose objects will move around the aircraft.
If severe turbulence occurs during a flight, the flight crew must make a logbook entry in order to
initiate maintenance action.
Note: Recommendations for severe turbulence are also applicable to extreme turbulence.
Ident.: PRO-ABN-MISC-10-00002203.0001001 / 22 FEB 17
Before the aircraft enters an area where turbulence is expected:
‐ All loose equipment must be secured in the cockpit and in the cabin
‐ The flight crew must set the SEAT BELTS sw to ON.
Ident.: PRO-ABN-MISC-10-00002301.0001001 / 09 DEC 09
Keep the autopilot ON.
When thrust changes become excessive : Disconnect Autothrust.
For approach : Use A/THR for managed speed.
Ident.: PRO-ABN-MISC-10-00002208.0002001 / 22 MAY 12
Set the thrust to give the recommended speed (Refer to PRO-ABN-MISC [QRH] Thrust Setting (N1)
for Recommended Speed). This thrust setting attempts to obtain, in stabilized conditions, the speed
for turbulence penetration given in the graph below.

Only change thrust in case of an extreme variation in airspeed, and do not chase your Mach or
airspeed.
A transient increase is preferable to a loss of speed, that decreases buffet margins and is difficult to
recover.

If the flight crew flies the aircraft manually:
‐ The flight crew may expect large variations in altitude, but should not chase altitude.
‐ The flight crew should consider descending to or below OPT FL, in order to increase the margin to
buffet.
Ident.: PRO-ABN-MISC-10-00007388.0002001 / 29 SEP 15
Configuration FULL, or 3, can be used.
CONF FULL provides better handling capability in turbulent conditions, however, CONF 3 provides
more energy and less drag.

Applicable to: ALL
180° TURN.............................................................................................................................INITIATE
The performance of a 180 ° turn will usually enable the aircraft to exit the volcanic ash clouds as
quickly as possible, because volcanic ash clouds can extend for hundreds of nautical miles.

Monitor particularly EGT . If EGT exceeds limits, it may become necessary to consider a
precautionary engine shutdown and engine restart in flight.
Note: In the case of precautionary shutdown:
‐ restart when clear of the volcanic ash cloud
‐ Upon restart, the engine may accelerate very slowly. Do not misinterpret this as a
failure to start
‐ Consider that the compressor and turbine blades have been eroded and avoid sudden
changes in thrust. Fuel flow and EGT may increase.

This procedure includes all the steps of the AVIONICS SMOKE ECAM procedure.
Apply this procedure when:
‐ The flight (cabin) crew suspect that smoke is coming from any of the following:
• The avionics
• The air conditioning
• The cabin equipment
‐ Requested by the AVIONICS SMOKE ECAM procedure.
‐ There is a smell of smoke / fumes in the cockpit :
• If the smell is similar to that of orange peels, suspect a toxic leak of rain repellent fluid.
• If the smell is similar to that of pine needles, suspect a non-toxic leak.
If any other ECAM SMOKE alert triggers (CARGO, ...), the crew must first apply the ECAM
procedure, then consider applying this procedure.
Note that these ECAM alerts may be caused by another source, that should usually first be
detected by the flight crew/cabin crew/avionics smoke detectors.
The following explains the layout of this procedure:
‐ The procedure lines above the text boxes indicate the actions that the flight crew must
immediately perform, if smoke is detected (with or without ECAM activation and regardless of
the smoke source). These immediate actions correspond to the most common steps to be taken
in smoke cases. In all cases, the flight crew must also be prepared to immediately perform a
diversion. However, this diversion may be avoided if the smoke source is obvious, accessible
and extinguishable or confirmed isolated (after completion of the immediate actions).
‐ The text boxes indicate the actions that the flight crew must consider, if at any time during the
remainder of the procedure but always after the initial steps:
• Smoke / fumes become the greatest threat and removal of smoke / fumes is required, and/or
• The situation becomes critical and can no longer be controlled.
‐ The procedure lines below the text boxes indicate the actions that the flight crew must perform,
as soon as they suspect a source of smoke. The actions will depend on whether the smoke is
coming from the avionics, and/or air conditioning, and/or cabin equipment.

L1 Guidelines to determine smoke source:
‐ If smoke initially comes out of the ventilation outlets, the crew may suspect AIR COND SMOKE.
In addition, very shortly thereafter, several SMOKE warnings (cargo, lavatory, avionics) will be
triggered. The displayed ECAM procedures must be applied.
‐ After an ENG or APU failure, smoke may come from the faulty item via the bleed system and
be perceived in the cockpit and/or cabin. In such a case, it will be recirculated throughout the
aircraft, until it completely disappears from the air conditioning system.
‐ If only the AVIONICS SMOKE warning is triggered, the crew may suspect avionics smoke.
‐ If the smoke is detected while an equipment is declared faulty, the crew may suspect that smoke
is coming from this equipment.
‐ Avionics or forward galley smoke may be smelt, or may enter in the cockpit before ECAM
warning activation.

Note: Avoid excessive maneuvers while aiming to keep the vertical speed just outside the
red area of the VSI , and within the green area. If necessary, use the full speed range
between Vαmax and VMAX.
Respect stall, GPWS, or windshear warning.
Notify ATC.
GO AROUND procedure must be performed when a RA “CLIMB” or “INCREASE
CLIMB” is triggered on final approach:
Note: Resolution Advisories (RA) are inhibited below 900 ft.

Applicable to: ALL
A red flag “WINDSHEAR” is displayed on each PFD associated with an aural synthetic voice
“WINDSHEAR” repeated three times.
If windshear is detected either by the system or by pilot observation, apply the following recovery
technique:
At Takeoff:
If before V1:
The takeoff should be rejected only if significant airspeed variations occur below indicated
V1 and the pilot decides that there is sufficient runway remaining to stop the airplane.
If after V1:
THR LEVERS...............................................................................................................TOGA
REACHING VR........................................................................................................ROTATE
SRS ORDERS........................................................................................................ FOLLOW
If necessary the flight crew may pull the sidestick fully back.
Note: If the FD bars are not displayed, move toward an initial pitch attitude of 17.5 °.
Then, if necessary, to prevent a loss in altitude, increase the pitch attitude.
Airborne, initial climb or landing:
THR LEVERS AT TOGA.............................................................................. SET OR CONFIRM
AP (if engaged)............................................................................................................ KEEP ON
SRS ORDERS...............................................................................................................FOLLOW
If necessary the flight crew may pull the sidestick fully back.
Note: 1. Autopilot disengages if the angle of attack value goes above α prot.
2. If the FD bars are not displayed, move toward an initial pitch attitude of 17.5 °.
Then, if necessary, to prevent a loss in altitude, increase the pitch attitude.
DO NOT CHANGE CONFIGURATION (SLATS/FLAPS, GEAR) UNTIL OUT OF
WINDSHEAR.
CLOSELY MONITOR FLIGHT PATH AND SPEED.

Ident.: PRO-ABN-SURV-00012272.0001001 / 17 MAR 17
Applicable to: ALL
The “W/S AHEAD” message is displayed on each PFD. The color of the message depends on the
severity and location of the windshear
Note: When a predictive windshear alert (“WINDSHEAR AHEAD” or "GO AROUND
WINDSHEAR AHEAD") is triggered, if the flight crew makes a positive verification that no
hazard exists, then the alert may be disregarded, as long as:
‐ There are no other signs of possible windshear conditions, and
‐ The reactive windshear system is operational.
Known cases of spurious predictive windshear alerts have been reported at some airports,
during either takeoff or landing, due to the specific obstacle environment.
However, always rely on any reactive windshear (“WINDSHEAR”).
W/S AHEAD RED
Takeoff
Associated with an aural synthetic voice “WINDSHEAR AHEAD, WINDSHEAR AHEAD”.
Before takeoff:
Delay takeoff, or select the most favorable runway.
During the takeoff run:
Reject takeoff.
Note: Predictive windshear alerts are inhibited above 100 kt until 50 ft.
When airborne:
THR LEVERS...........................................................................................................TOGA
As usual, the slat/flap configuration can be changed, provided the windshear is not
entered.
AP (if engaged)..................................................................................................KEEP ON
SRS ORDERS.................................................................................................... FOLLOW
If necessary the flight crew may pull the sidestick fully back.
Note: 1. Autopilot disengages if the angle of attack value goes above α prot.
2. If the FD bars are not displayed, move toward an initial pitch attitude of
17.5 °. Then, if necessary, to prevent a loss in altitude, increase the pitch

GENERAL
Ident.: PRO-ABN-90-00010415.0001001 / 15 OCT 12
Applicable to: ALL
A successful outcome for an emergency situation depends, first of all, upon each crew member’s
perfect knowledge and execution of the duties assigned to him.
The captain should check frequently that all crew members know exactly their assigned positions and
their specific duties, as well as the duties of the other crew members, in case of an abnormal or an
emergency condition.
Since it is not possible to cover all the situations that may occur, the captain will be responsible
for adapting the following instructions to obtain the best coordination of the emergency operation.
Should it be physically impossible for the captain to carry out his duties, another crew member will
substitute for him according to the chain of command. The procedures in this manual are AIRBUS
procedures and should be considered to be a reference.

FOREWORD
Ident.: PRO-NOR-SOP-01-00010142.0001001 / 02 MAY 17
Applicable to: ALL
The procedures contained in this Chapter are recommended by Airbus, and are consistent with the
other Chapters of this manual.
The Authorities do not certificate Standard Operating Procedures. The manufacturer presents them
herein as the best way to proceed, from a technical and operational standpoint. They are continually
updated and the revisions take into account Operator input, as well as manufacturer experience.
In addition, Operators may amend them, as needed. However, the manufacturer recommends that
Operators using the FCOM as onboard operational manual submit suggested changes to expedite
publication, and maintain consistency of the manual. The Operator should note that they may rewrite
this Chapter, at their own responsibility; this could, however, make it difficult to update the manual
and keep it consistent with the other Chapters.
The following sections contain expanded information on normal procedures.
Standard Operating Procedures consist of inspections, preparations, and normal procedures. All
items of a given procedure are listed in a sequence that follows a standardized scan of the cockpit
panels, unless that sequence goes against the action priority logic, to ensure that all actions are
performed in the most efficient way.
These procedures assume that all systems are operating normally, and that all automatic functions
are used normally.
The FCOM also contains normal procedures that are non-routine procedures in the Supplementary
Procedures chapter and in the Special Operations chapter.

TECHNICAL CONDITION OF THE AIRCRAFT
Ident.: PRO-NOR-SOP-02-00010147.0001001 / 05 AUG 10
Applicable to: ALL
The crew will verify the technical state of the aircraft (deferred defect list), with regard to
airworthiness, acceptability of malfunctions (MEL), and influence on the flight plan.
WEATHER BRIEFING
Ident.: PRO-NOR-SOP-02-00010148.0001001 / 05 AUG 10
Applicable to: ALL
‐ The crew will get a weather briefing
‐ The briefing should include:
• Actual and expected weather conditions, including runway conditions for takeoff and climb-out
• Significant weather enroute, including winds and temperatures
• Terminal forecasts for destination and alternate airports
• Actual weather for destination and alternates, for short range flights and recent past weather, if
available
• Survey of the meteorological conditions at airports along the planned route.
Weather can affect the choice of routing (for example, influence which route is quickest) and
the choice of flight level. The flight crew must also consider the possibility of runways being
contaminated at the departure and destination airfields. The flight crew must also verify ISA
deviations and enroute icing conditions, and must consider the possibility of holding due to weather
at the destination.
NOTAMS
Ident.: PRO-NOR-SOP-02-00010149.0002001 / 29 MAY 13
Applicable to: ALL
‐ The flight crew must examine NOTAMs for changes to routings, unserviceable navaids, availability
of runways and approach aids etc, all of which may affect the final fuel requirement
‐ In order to prevent the risks of projection of debris towards the trimmable horizontal stabilizer
and the elevators, it is not recommended to takeoff from runways in bad condition (loose surface,
under repair, covered with debris...)
GPS PRIMARY AVAILABILITY (IF INSTALLED)
Ident.: PRO-NOR-SOP-02-00014998.0002001 / 20 MAR 17
Applicable to: ALL
For RNP1 operations, RNAV(GNSS) approaches and RNAV (RNP) approaches:
RAIM/AIME has been demonstrated to be available 100% of the time with 24 healthy satellites.

FCOM ← D to G → 22 MAR 17
If required by operational regulation, for specific conditions (e.g RNAV(RNP), mountainous
terrain or less than 24 satellites) an appropriate Ground-Based Prediction Program should be
used to check the RAIM/AIME for each intended procedure (arrival, departure and alternate if
required)
FLIGHT PLAN AND OPERATIONAL REQUIREMENTS
Ident.: PRO-NOR-SOP-02-00010150.0001001 / 18 MAR 11
Applicable to: ALL
‐ The crew will check the company flight plan for routing, altitudes, and flight time
‐ The Captain will check the ATC flight plan and ensure that:
• It is filled in and filed, in accordance with the prescribed procedures
• It agrees with the fuel flight plan routing.
‐ The crew will check the estimated load figures, and will calculate the maximum allowable takeoff
and landing weights.
OPTIMUM FLIGHT LEVEL
Ident.: PRO-NOR-SOP-02-00010151.0001001 / 22 MAR 17
Applicable to: ALL
The flight crew should choose a flight level that is as close to the optimum as possible. To determine
the optimum flight level, Refer to QRH/PER-M Optimum & Maximum Altitudes (Paper Only) or use
the performance application of FlySmart with Airbus.
As a general rule, an altitude that is 4 000 ft below the optimum produces a significant penalty
(approximately 5 % of fuel). Flight 8 000 ft below the optimum altitude produces a penalty of more
than 10 % against trip fuel. (The usual contingency allowance is 5 %).
FUEL REQUIREMENTS
Ident.: PRO-NOR-SOP-02-00010152.0001001 / 05 AUG 10
Applicable to: ALL
COMPUTERIZED FLIGHT PLAN CHECK
In most cases the flight crew uses a computer-derived flight plan to obtain the correct fuel
requirements. Although these computerized requirements are normally accurate, the flight crew
must check them for gross errors.
The easiest way to do this is to use the “Quick Determination of F-PLN ” tables (Refer to
PER-FPL-FLP-QFP-40 FLIGHT PLANNING M.78). Although the aircraft will fly at ECON MACH
that is based on the cost index, the M 0.78 table is accurate enough to permit the crew to check for
gross error.
Ensure that both the captain and the first officer have verified that the fuel calculations and
required fuel on board are correct and that the figure complies with the applicable regulations.

FUEL TRANSPORTATION
The flight crew must check the policy covering the “tankering” of fuel on sectors where there is a
favourable fuel price differential or operational requirement.
Remember that carrying unnecessary extra fuel increases the fuel consumption for that sector and
therefore reduces the economy of the operation (lower flex temperature, more tire and brake wear,
more time in climb phase, lower optimum flight level etc).

Applicable to: ALL
Items marked by asterisks (*) are the only steps to be completed after a transit stop without flight
crew change. Otherwise, the new flight crew performs all the items.
The following procedure, performed by the PM, ensures that all the required checks are performed
before applying electrical power to avoid inadvertent operation of systems and danger to the aircraft
and personnel.
Included is APU starting and the establishment of electrical and pneumatic power.
For EFB operations, the following procedure performed by both pilots is based on the use of two
EFBs/eQRH in order to reduce the risk of erroneous inputs.
Airbus recommends operating with two EFBs.
DOCUMENTATION AND MAINTENANCE
On entering the aircraft, obtain the technical (maintenance) log and verify that the certificate of
maintenance and daily inspection (or similar) are up to date and signed. Check the deferred or
carried-forward defects. If refueling has already been completed, check the uplift.

Note: ‐ The flight crew may also hear an acoustic feedback (i.e. Larsen effect) during the test.
The test is still valid even if this acoustic feedback (i.e. Larsen effect) is heard.
‐ If the flight crew cannot hear the audio test signal through the loudspeakers, and if the
CVR maintenance headset (22RK headset) is available, the flight crew can perform
the CVR TEST through the CVR maintenance headset.
‐ If an acoustic feedback (i.e. Larsen effect) is still heard, the flight crew can perform
the CVR TEST using the 22RK headset and with the parking brake set to off. Before
setting the parking brake to off, the flight crew must ensure that chocks are in place or

Therefore, this data must be carefully checked (Captain’s responsibility).
‐ The flight crew should insert the weights after completing all other insertions. This is to avoid
cycles of prediction computations at each change in flight plan, constraints, etc.
‐ If ZFW and ZFWCG are unavailable, it is acceptable to enter the expected values in order to
obtain predictions. Similarly, the flight crew may enter the expected fuel on board, if refueling

Similarly the pilot may select a CRZ MACH number on the PERF CRZ page (constant CRZ Mach
segment, for example). When the CRZ phase is active, the preselected CRZ MACH number will
be displayed in the FCU speed window and on the PFD . When ECON MACH number may be
resumed, the crew presses the FCU SPD selector.
In either of the above cases, the pilot may cancel the CLB or CRZ preselected SPD /MACH prior
to activating the related phase, by selecting ECON on the PERF CLB or CRZ pages.
SPD LIM is defaulted to 250 kt below 10 000 ft in the managed speed profile. This may be either
cleared or modified on the VERT REV page at the origin (or a climb waypoint).

Use the automatic engine start procedure in most circumstances. However, if the start aborts due
to insufficient starter inlet air pressure (e.g. on high airfields, or in case of low pressure from an
external pneumatic power group), it is recommended to use the manual start procedure, instead the
automatic procedure.
If, during the engine start, the ground crew reports a fuel leak from the engine drain mast, run the
engine at idle for 5 min. If the leak disappears during these 5 min, the aircraft can be dispatched
without maintenance action. If the leak is still present after 5 min, shut down the engine and request

During ground operation, when in icing conditions for more than 30 min, the following procedure
should be applied for ice shedding :
CAUTION If, during thrust increase, the aircraft starts to move, immediately retard the thrust
levers to IDLE.
If ground surface conditions and the environment permit, the flight crew should accelerate the
engines to approximately 70 % of N1 for 30 s at intervals not greater than 30 min.

In addition, this engine acceleration should also be performed just before take-off, with particular
attention to engine parameters to ensure normal engine operation. If ground surface or
environment do not permit to accelerate the engine to 70 % N1, then power setting and dwell time
should be as high as practical.
When operating in conditions of freezing rain, freezing drizzle, freezing fog or heavy snow, ice

Note: 1. If the weather is good, or not significant, in order to check that the radar is operating
correctly: down tilt until displaying ground echoes
2. If the weather display is ambiguous or unexpected, in order to better analyze the weather
situation, use manual tilt according to standard technique.
3. In particular below FL 200, for situations with low-level weather, weather with low
reflectivity or in front of suspected active cells, the flight crew should switch to Manual
mode and adjust the tilt setting downward until the weather is detected or the ground
clutter appears on the upper part of the display.
4. In addition, the flight crew may increase the manual gain control to display lower
reflectivity targets. The manual gain control can be increased in both AUTO and Manual
modes to display lower levels of weather. In both cases, ground clutter may also be
displayed as a result of low settings and/or increased gain.

TAKEOFF........................................................................................................................... ANNOUNCE
Ident.: PRO-NOR-SOP-12-A-00011560.0006001 / 23 JUN 15
THRUST SETTING
THRUST LEVERS.............................................................................................50 % N1 (1.05 EPR)
If the crosswind is at or below 20 kt and there is no tailwind:
To counter the nose-up effect of setting engine takeoff thrust, apply half forward sidestick until
the airspeed reaches 80 kt. Release the sidestick gradually to reach neutral at 100 kt.
BRAKES.......................................................................................................................RELEASE
THRUST LEVERS................................................................................................. FLX or TOGA
Once the thrust levers are set to FLX or TOGA detent, the Captain keeps his hand on the
thrust levers until the aircraft reaches V1.
In case of tailwind, or if crosswind is greater than 20 kt:
The PF applies full forward sidestick.
BRAKES.......................................................................................................................RELEASE
THRUST LEVERS................................................................................................. FLX or TOGA
‐ The PF rapidly increases thrust to about 70 % N1 (1.15 EPR) then progressively to reach
takeoff thrust by 40 kt ground speed, while maintaining sidestick full forward up to 80 kt.
Release the sidestick gradually to reach neutral at 100 kt.
‐ Once the thrust levers are set to FLX or TOGA detent, the Captain keeps his hand on the
thrust levers until the aircraft reaches V1.
Note: ENG SD page replaces WHEEL SD page on the ECAM lower display.
DIRECTIONAL CONTROL......................................................................................... USE RUDDER
At 130 kt (wheel speed), the connection between nosewheel steering and the rudder pedals
is removed. Therefore, in strong crosswinds, more rudder input will be required at this point to
prevent the aircraft from turning into the wind.

Monitor flight progress in the conventional way.
When overflying a waypoint:
‐ Check track and distance to the next waypoint.
When overflying the waypoint, or at least every 30 min:
‐ Check FUEL : Check FOB (ECAM ), and fuel prediction (FMGC), and compare with the computer
flight plan or the in-cruise quick-check table (Refer to QRH/PER-M In Cruise Quick Check at a
Given Mach Number (Paper Only) or use the performance application of FlySmart with Airbus).
Check that the sum of the fuel on board and the fuel used is consistent with the fuel on board
at departure. If the sum is unusually greater than the fuel on board at departure, suspect a fuel
quantity over read. If the sum is unusually smaller than the fuel on board at departure, or if it
decreases, suspect a fuel leak.
For more information about fuel leak, Refer to FCTM/PR-AEP-FUEL Fuel Leak.
CAUTION This check must also be performed each time a FUEL IMBALANCE procedure is
necessary. Perform the check before applying the FUEL IMBALANCE procedure.
If a fuel leak is confirmed, apply the FUEL LEAK procedure.

‐ GPS PRIMARY LOST appears on the ND (GPS )
‐ IRS only navigation
‐ The PROG page displays LOW accuracy
‐ “NAV ACCUR DOWNGRAD” appears on the MCDU.
Refer to DSC-22_20-20-20 Estimated Position Uncertainty.
Note: Methods for checking accuracy:
If the check is positive (error ≤ 3 N.m): FM position is reliable.
Use ND (ARC or NAV) and managed lateral guidance.
If the check is negative (error > 3 N.m): FM position is not reliable.
Use raw data for navigation and monitor it.
If there is a significant mismatch between the display and the real position:
Disengage MANAGED NAV mode and use raw data navigation (possibly switching
to ROSE VOR, so as not to be misled by FM data).

Note: 1. If the weather conditions are expected to change at the landing airport, or in the event
of significant precipitation, the flight crew should consider a second calculation of the
in-flight landing distance with the worst possible runway condition.
2. The selection of REV MAX is the standard practice for landing.
However, on dry runways the flight crew may select REV IDLE.
On WET runways (runway surface condition GOOD), the flight crew may select REV
IDLE, if all the following conditions are satisfied:
‐ A landing distance assessment has been made with the following parameters:
• MEDIUM TO POOR landing performance level for the in-flight landing distance
computation
• No reverser credit
‐ The result of this landing distance assessment is within the LDA.

In that case,
‐ Insert again the affected procedures (STAR , APPR VIA or TRANS)
The FMS keeps the altitude constraints that are below the CRZ FL , and deletes again
the altitude constraints that are above current CRZ FL . The FMS may also delete the
altitude constraints that are at current CRZ FL , and the altitude constraint windows
that have a constraint at or above current CRZ FL.

Note: With DPO , as the idle thrust margins are reduced, accurate winds have to be entered
to be able to follow the computed vertical profile and thus maximize the benefits of DPO
. Refer to DSC-22_20-60-150 Descent Profile Optimization (if installed).

PERF DES page........................................................................................................................ CHECK
Prior to descent, access PERF DES page and check ECON MACH/SPD . If a speed other than
ECON is required, insert that MACH or SPD into the ECON field. This new MACH or SPD is now the
one for the descent path and T/D computation, and it will be used for the managed speed descent
profile (instead of ECON).
A speed limit of 250 kt below 10 000 ft is the defaulted speed, in the managed speed descent profile.
The flight crew may delete or modify it if necessary on the VERT REV at DEST page.

instantaneous gust.
For more information: Refer to Ground Speed Mini Function.
For example, if the wind is 15020G35KT, insert 150/20.
Insert the minimum.
Note: To avoid undershooting the published minimum during go-around, due to aircraft inertia
during pull-up, some Authorities may require Operators to add a specific number of feet to
the published minimum.

CAUTION In icing conditions (Refer to LIM-ICE_RAIN Definition of Icing Conditions), the flight
crew must turn on the engine anti-ice and should not wait until seeing ice building
up.
ENG ANTI-ICE pb-sw ...........................................................................................................AS RQRD
Engine anti-ice must be set to ON before and during descent, event if the SAT is below -40 °C (-40
°F).
When ENG ANTI ICE is ON, the FADEC selects a higher idle thrust which gives better protection
against flame-out.
WING ANTI ICE pb-sw .........................................................................................................AS RQRD
When icing conditions are encountered:
‐ The flight crew may turn on the wing anti-ice to prevent ice accretion on the wing leading edge.
‐ The flight crew must turn on the wing anti-ice if there is evidence of ice accretion, such as ice on
the visual indicators, or on the wipers, or with the SEVERE ICE DETECTED alert. This is to
remove any ice accumulation from the wing leading edge.
ANTI ICE ON reduces the descent path angle (when the engines are at idle). The pilot can
compensate for this by increasing the descent speed, or by extending up to half speedbrakes.

DESCENT INITIATION
Ident.: PRO-NOR-SOP-17-00011541.0001001 / 03 NOV 14
Applicable to: ALL
DESCENT................................................................................................................................ INITIATE
The normal method of initiating the descent is to select DES mode at the FMGS calculated top of
descent (T/D).
If ATC requires an early descent:
Use DES mode which will guide the aircraft down at a lower vertical speed in order to converge
on the required descent path. (The pilot may use a V/S of -1 000 ft/min).
If ATC delays the descent:
Beyond T/D, the PFD and the MCDU display either "DECELERATE" or "T/D REACHED"
message. This suggests to the crew that it starts reducing speed towards green dot speed (with
ATC permission). When cleared to descend, select DES mode with managed speed active.

‐ When flying in NAV mode, use DES mode.
The aircraft descends along the descent flight path: the PFD and PROG page display VDEV, and
so it can be monitored. All constraints of the flight plan are taken into account for the guidance.
‐ When the aircraft is flying in HDG or TRK mode, and thus out of the lateral F-PLN , DES mode is
not available.
The ND s show a level-off symbol along the flight path. Its position is based on the current
active modes .AP /FD and A/THR
The flight crew can use this symbol to monitor the descent.
MCDU predictions assume a return to the lateral F-PLN and descent flight path.
Note that whenever the lateral mode is changed from NAV to HDG /TRK the vertical mode reverts
to V/S at the value pertaining at the time of the mode change.
‐ From time to time during stabilized descent, the flight crew may select FPA to check that the
remaining distance to destination is approximately the altitude change required divided by the FPA
in degrees.
FPA (°) = ΔFL/DIST (NM)
DESCENT ADJUSTMENT
Applicable to: ALL
Ident.: PRO-NOR-SOP-17-A-00011543.0002001 / 09 MAR 15
To increase the rate of descent:
‐ Increase descent speed (by use of selected speed) if comfort and ATC permit. It is economically
better (Time/Fuel) than the following procedures.
‐ Maintain high speed as long as possible. (SPD LIM may be suspended, subject to ATC
clearance).
‐ If the aircraft is high and at high speed, it is more efficient to keep the high speed to ALT* and
decelerate, rather than to mix descent and deceleration.
‐ If the aircraft goes below the desired profile, use SPEED and the V/S mode to adjust the rate of
descent.
Note: EXPEDITE DESCENT.
If a high rate of descent is required, push the EXPED pushbutton on the FCU . The
target speed for the descent now becomes M 0.8 or 340 kt, whichever is lower. The FMA
will display THRIDLE/EXP DES/NAV.
To return to DES mode, push the FCU ALT knob.
To return to SPEED/V/S modes, pull the FCU V/S knob.
In all cases, monitor the FMA to ensure that the mode engages properly.

Ident.: PRO-NOR-SOP-17-A-00011544.0001001 / 03 MAR 14
If engine anti-ice is selected in descent, the flight idle is increased. So, to maintain the rate of
descent that the airplane had before engine anti-ice selection it may be necessary to use up to half
speedbrakes to maintain the required rate of descent, in OPEN DES vertical mode. If the rate of
descent has to be increased, full speedbrakes may be used.
In DES mode: If the aircraft is on, or below, the flight path and the ATC requires a higher rate of
descent, do not use speedbrakes because the rate of descent is dictated by the planned flight path.
Thus, the A/THR may increase thrust to compensate for the increase in drag. In this case, use OPEN
DES with speedbrakes.
Note: 1. If speedbrakes are used above 315 kt/M .75, with the AP engaged, their rate of retraction
is low (total time for retraction from full extension is approximately 25 s). The ECAM
memo page displays SPD BRAKES in amber until retraction is complete.
2. In order to avoid overshooting the altitude, due to speedbrake retraction in ALT* mode,
retract the speedbrakes at least 2 000 ft before the selected altitude.

‐ 1 000 ft above airfield elevation (AAL )in Instrument Meteorological Conditions (IMC), or
‐ 500 ft above airfield elevation (AAL ) in Visual Meteorological Conditions (VMC), or
‐ Any other height defined in Operator policies or regulations.
In order for the approach to be stabilized, all of the following conditions must be satisfied before, or at
the stabilization height:
‐ The aircraft is on the correct lateral and vertical flight path
‐ The aircraft is in the desired landing configuration

‐ The thrust is stabilized, usually above idle, and the aircraft is at target speed for approach
Note: In IMC , if the ATC requests a speed constraint that is not compatible with the speed
and thrust stabilization at 1 000 ft AAL, a later speed and thrust stabilization can be
acceptable provided that:
‐ The aircraft is in deceleration toward the target approach speed
‐ The flight crew stabilizes speed and thrust as soon as possible and not later than
500 ft AAL.
‐ The flight crew does not detect any excessive flight parameter deviation.
If one of the above-mentioned conditions is not satisfied, the flight crew must initiate a go-around,
unless they estimate that only small corrections are required to recover stabilized approach
conditions.
Note: If the predicted tailwind at landing is greater than 10 kt, decelerated approach is not
permitted, and the aircraft speed should be stabilized at around VREF + 5 kt in final.
APPROACH SPEED TECHNIQUE
Ident.: PRO-NOR-SOP-18-A-00014485.0001001 / 29 MAY 13
Applicable to: ALL
DECELERATED APPROACH
The decelerated approach with FD or AP /FD guidance is the standard flying technique for ILS /
MLS / GLS approaches and approaches using FLS or FINAL APP guidance.
EARLY STABILIZED APPROACH
Under certain circumstances, the flight crew may decide to reduce the speed down to VAPP in the
landing configuration at the Final Descent Point (i.e. approach via selected guidance, high glide
path angle, low altitude intermediate approach, etc.). In order to obtain a valuable deceleration
pseudo waypoint and to ensure a timely deceleration, the flight crew should enter VAPP as a
speed constraint at the Final Descent Point.

when the aircraft overflies the last waypoint. The FMS has no more destination in the
F-PLN.
2. Because the thrust levers are not set to TOGA detent, the FMS remains in approach
phase.

INITIAL APPROACH
Applicable to: ALL
Ident.: PRO-NOR-SOP-18-B-A-00014494.0001001 / 29 MAY 13
GENERAL
The initial approach procedure described here is a general guidance whatever the type of
approach expected.
Ident.: PRO-NOR-SOP-18-B-A-00014493.0001001 / 03 MAR 14
INITIAL APPROACH
F-PLN SEQUENCING...........................................................................................................ADJUST
‐ The NAV mode will be available after GO AROUND if the F-PLN is properly sequenced. A good
cue to monitor the proper F-PLN sequencing is the TO waypoint on the upper right side of the
ND, which should remain meaningful.
‐ In NAV mode, the F-PLN will sequence automatically.
‐ In HDG /TRK mode, the F-PLN will sequence automatically only if the aircraft flies close to the
F-PLN route.
APPROACH PHASE............................................................................................CHECK/ACTIVATE
‐ If the aircraft overflies the DECEL pseudo waypoint in NAV mode, the APPR phase activates
automatically.
‐ If the aircraft is in HDG /TRK mode, approximately 15 NM from touchdown, activate and confirm
APPROACH phase on the MCDU (PERF DES page).
MANAGED SPEED................................................................................................................ CHECK
‐ If ATC requires a particular speed, use selected speed. When the ATC speed constraint no
longer applies, return to managed speed.
FLIGHT PATH....................................................................................................................MONITOR
‐ In NAV mode, use VDEV information on the PFD and PROG page.
‐ In HDG /TRK mode, use the energy circle on ND representing the required distance to land.

SPEED BRAKES lever.......................................................................................................AS RQRD
‐ If the flight crew uses the speed brakes to increase the rate of deceleration or to increase the
rate of descent, the VLS will increase as well:
• The flight crew should ensure that appropriate speed margin exists before the extension of
the speed brakes
• If the speed brakes are extended, the flight crew should ensure that appropriate speed
margin exists before the beginning of a turn.
This will avoid the activation of the Alpha-Floor protection.
Note: In clean configuration, the VLS with speed brakes fully extended may be higher than
green dot speed or VFE FLAP 1.

RADAR
RADAR.................................................................................................ADJUST AS APPROPRIATE
‐ Gain must be manually set to +4 when MULTISCAN selector is set to AUTO and when flying
below FL 200.
‐ If the weather is good, or not significant, in order to check that the radar is operating correctly:
down tilt under displaying ground echoes.
‐ If the weather display is ambiguous or unexpected, in order to better analyze the weather
situation, use manual tilt according to standard technique.
‐ In particular below FL 200, for situations with low level weather, weather with low reflectivity or
in front of suspected active cells, the flight crew should switch to manual mode and adjust the tilt
setting downward until the weather is detected or the ground clutter appears on the upper part
of the display.
‐ In addition, the flight crew may increase the manual gain control to display lower reflectivity
targets. The manual gain control can be increased in both AUTO and manual modes to display
lower levels of weather. In both cases, ground clutter may also be displayed as a result of low
settings and/or increased gain.

INITIAL/INTERMEDIATE APPROACH
APPR pb on FCU................................................................................................................... PRESS
‐ Press the APPR pb when:
• Cleared for the approach
• On the intercept trajectory for the final approach course
• LOC deviation is available.
This arms the LOC and G/S modes.
Note: In NAV mode, the aircraft may leave the F-PLN to capture the LOC.
‐ LOC and/or G/S capture modes will engage no sooner than 3 s after being armed.
‐ ICAO defines the envelope where the quality of the G/S signal ensures a normal capture. This
envelope is within 10 NM, ±8 ° of the centerline of the ILS glide path and up to 1.75 θ and down
to 0.3 θ (θ = nominal glide path angle). When arming the approach well outside of the normal
G/S capture envelope, a spurious G/S * engagement may occur due to a wrong G/S deviation
signal. Whenever the pilot notices the pitch movement, or the spurious G/S *, or the trajectory
deviation, he will immediately disconnect the AP , if engaged, to re-establish a normal attitude
and will disengage APPR mode. It is then recommended to arm/rearm APPR (ILS) mode within
the normal capture zone.
BOTH APs........................................................................................................................... ENGAGE
‐ When APPR mode is selected, AP 1 and AP2 should be engaged.
‐ Above 5 000 ft AGL , the FMA displays CAT 1.
‐ Below 5 000 ft AGL , the FMA displays the correct approach capability for the intended
approach.

APPROACH PREPARATION
For a circling approach, the approach preparation should include the following additional items in
the FMS programming.
F-PLN
Introduce the instrument approach procedure, including the missed approach procedure for
instrument approach.
SEC F-PLN
The landing runway must be inserted into the SEC F-PLN.
Update the SEC F-PLN as follows:
‐ Copy the active F-PLN
‐ Revise the landing runway.
Ident.: PRO-NOR-SOP-18-C-F-00014568.0001001 / 29 MAY 13
INSTRUMENT APPROACH
The flight crew flies a stabilized approach at "F" speed, configuration 3 and landing gear down.
Ident.: PRO-NOR-SOP-18-C-F-00014567.0001001 / 29 MAY 13
CIRCLING APPROACH
At the Circling MDA(H) at the latest:
Perform a level off
At MAP, if the flight crew finds no visual reference:
Initiate a go around
When required conditions for circling are satisfied:
Select TRK FPA
Proceed to downwind leg
At any time in the downwind leg, activate the SEC F-PLN
Disconnect the AP and remove the FDs at the latest before starting the descent toward the
runway
Set the landing configuration when appropriate, but ensure early stabilization in final.
If, at any time during the circling procedure, the required visual references are lost, initiate a
go around following the missed approach of the initial instrument approach (unless otherwise
specified).

VISUAL APPROACH
Applicable to: ALL
Ident.: PRO-NOR-SOP-18-C-H-00014574.0002001 / 29 MAY 13
GENERAL
Perform the approach on a nominal 3 ° glideslope using visual references. Approach to be
stabilized by 500 ft AGL on the correct approach path, in the landing configuration, at VAPP.
Method:
‐ The AP is not used
‐ Both FDs are OFF
‐ FPV use is recommended
‐ A/THR use is recommended with managed speed.
Bear in mind the possible risk of optical illusions due to hindered night vision.
Note: If the forecasted tailwind at landing is greater than 10 kt, decelerated approach is not
allowed, and the speed should be stabilized around VREF + 5 kt in final.
Ident.: PRO-NOR-SOP-18-C-H-00014573.0001001 / 08 AUG 13
INITIAL/INTERMEDIATE APPROACH
The flight plan selected on the MCDU should include the selection of the landing runway. The
downwind leg may also be part of the flight plan. This may be a useful indication of the aircraft
position in the circuit on the ND.
However, visual references must be used.
Therefore, at the beginning of the downwind leg:
Manually ACTIVATE APPR
Select FDs to OFF
Select TRK FPA to have FPV displayed
Check A/THR active.
Extend the downwind leg to 3 s/100 ft (± 1 s/1 kt of headwind / tailwind).
Turn into base leg with a maximum of 30 ° of bank. Descent with approximate FPA, in FLAPS 2, at
F speed.
Ident.: PRO-NOR-SOP-18-C-H-00014572.0001001 / 29 MAY 13
FINAL APPROACH
The speed trend arrow and FPV help the flight crew make timely and correct thrust settings (if in
manual thrust), and approach path corrections.

Avoid descending through the correct approach path with idle thrust. (Late recognition of this
situation without a prompt thrust increase may lead to considerable speed decay and altitude
loss).
Ensure that the aircraft is stabilized on the final descent path at VAPP (or ground speed mini)
in the landing configuration with the thrust stabilized (usually above idle) at 500 ft above airfield
elevation or as restricted by Operator policies/regulations.
If the aircraft is not stabilized, the flight crew must initiate a go around, unless they think that only
small corrections are necessary to rectify minor deviations from stabilized conditions due, amongst
others, to external perturbations.
Avoid any tendency to “duck under” in the late stages of the approach.
Avoid destabilizing the approach in the last 100 ft, in order to have the best chance of performing a
good touchdown at the desired position.

reasons. However, when comfort is the priority, the flight crew should delay braking until the
nosewheel has touched down.
Note: If no ground spoilers are extended, the autobrake is not activated.
DECELERATION.............................................................................................. CHECK/ANNOUNCE

BOTH THRUST LEVERS..................................................................................................FWD IDLE
‐ When reaching taxi speed, and before leaving the runway, deselect the reversers.
‐ On snow-covered grounds, the reversers should be stowed when the aircraft speed reaches
25 kt.
‐ When deselecting the reversers, be careful not to apply forward thrust by moving the thrust
levers beyond the FWD IDLE position.
CAUTION Except in an emergency, do not use the reverse thrust to control the aircraft
speed while on taxiways.
On taxiways, the use of reversers, even when restricted to idle thrust, would have the following
effects:
‐ The engines may ingest fine sand and debris that may be detrimental to the engines and
airframe systems.
‐ On snow–covered areas, snow will recirculate into the air inlet, and may cause an engine
flameout or rollback.

‐ A long flare or a long touchdown
‐ An unexpected tailwind.
A small pitch up may occur during thrust reversers deployment before nose landing gear
touchdown. However, the auto-flight system will control this pitch up.
As soon as the flight crew selects reverse thrust, they must perform a full-stop landing.
GROUND SPOILERS....................................................................................... CHECK/ANNOUNCE
Check that the WHEEL SD page displays the ground spoilers extended after touchdown.
If no ground spoilers are extended:
‐ Verify and confirm that both thrust levers are set to IDLE or REV detent.
‐ Set both thrust reverser levers to REV MAX, and fully press the brake pedals.
Note: If ground spoilers are not armed, ground spoilers extend at reverser thrust selection.
REVERSERS.................................................................................................... CHECK/ANNOUNCE
Check that the ECAM E/WD displays that the reverse deployment is as expected (REV green).
DIRECTIONAL CONTROL.................................................................................MONITOR/ENSURE
‐ Monitor directional control, if the rollout is automatic.
‐ Ensure directional control, if rollout is manual. Use rudder pedals for directional control.
‐ Do not use the nosewheel steering control handle before reaching taxi speed.
‐ During rollout, the flight crew should avoid sidestick inputs (either lateral or longitudinal).
‐ If directional control problems are encountered, the flight crew should reduce thrust to reverse
idle until directional control is satisfactory.
BRAKES............................................................................................................................. AS RQRD
‐ Monitor the autobrake, if it is ON. When required, brake with the pedals
‐ Although the green hydraulic system supplies the braking system, if pedals are pressed rapidly,
a brake pressure indication appears briefly on the BRAKE PRESS indicator.
‐ Braking may begin before the nosewheel has touched down, if required for performance
reasons. However, when comfort is the priority, the flight crew should delay braking until the
nosewheel has touched down.
Note: If no ground spoilers are extended, the autobrake is not activated.
DECELERATION.............................................................................................. CHECK/ANNOUNCE
The deceleration is felt by the flight crew, and confirmed by the speed trend on the PFD.

BOTH THRUST LEVERS.................................................................................................. REV IDLE
It is better to reduce thrust when passing 70 kt. However, high levels of reverse thrust may be
used in order to control aircraft speed in the case of an emergency.
CAUTION Avoid the use of high levels of reverse thrust at low airspeed, unless required due
to an emergency. The distortion of the airflow, caused by gases reentering the
compressor, can cause engine stalls that may result in excessive EGT.

END OF ROLL OUT
BOTH THRUST LEVERS..................................................................................................FWD IDLE
‐ When reaching taxi speed, and before leaving the runway, deselect the reversers.
‐ On snow-covered grounds, the reversers should be stowed when the aircraft speed reaches
25 kt.
‐ When deselecting the reversers, be careful not to apply forward thrust by moving the thrust
levers beyond the FWD IDLE position.
CAUTION Except in an emergency, do not use the reverse thrust to control the aircraft
speed while on taxiways.
On taxiways, the use of reversers, even when restricted to idle thrust, would have the following
effects:
‐ The engines may ingest fine sand and debris that may be detrimental to the engines and
airframe systems.
‐ On snow–covered areas, snow will recirculate into the air inlet, and may cause an engine
flameout or rollback.
AP.................................................................................................................................................OFF
Disengage the APs at the end of the roll out (when leaving the runway at the latest).

CAUTION In icing conditions (Refer to LIM-ICE_RAIN Definition of Icing Conditions), the flight
crew must turn on the engine anti-ice and should not wait until seeing ice building
up.
ANTI ICE................................................................................................................................ AS RQRD
‐ If engine anti-ice is used, take care to control taxi speed, especially on wet or slippery surfaces.
(N1 ground idle is increased).
‐ During ground operation, when in icing conditions for more than 30 min, the following procedure
should be applied for ice shedding:
CAUTION If, during thrust increase, the aircraft starts to move, immediately retard the thrust
levers to IDLE.
If ground surface conditions and the environment permit, the flight crew should accelerate the
engines to approximately 70 % of N1 for 30 s at intervals not greater than 30 min.
If ground surface or environment do not permit to accelerate the engine to 70 % N1, then power
setting and dwell time should be as high as practical.
When operating in conditions of freezing rain, freezing drizzle, freezing fog or heavy snow, ice
shedding may be enhanced, by additional run ups at intervals, to not exceed 10 min, advancing
throttles to 70 % N1 momentarily (no hold time).

L2 Note: The flight crew should operate the engines at or near idle thrust for a cooling period of
3 min before engine shutdown, in order to thermally stabilize the engines.
Idle reverse thrust and normal thrust to maneuver during taxi (i.e. at or near idle), are
not considered as high thrust operations. Therefore, both of the following applies:
‐ If the flight crew uses idle reverse thrust for landing and normal thrust to maneuver
during taxi after landing, the cooling period starts when the flight crew retards the
thrust lever during the flare
‐ If the flight crew uses maximum reverse for landing, the cooling period starts when
the flight crew sets the thrust lever to idle reverse during the landing rollout.
However, if operationally necessary, all engines can be shut down when the aircraft
arrives at the gate, regardless of the time necessary for landing.
Before engine shutdown, routine cooling periods that last less than the recommended
time, can result in engine degradation.

COMMUNICATIONS AND STANDARD TERMS
Ident.: PRO-NOR-SOP-90-00011900.0001001 / 13 AUG 10
Applicable to: ALL
Standard phraseology is essential to ensure effective crew communication. The phraseology should
be concise and exact. The following Chapter lists the callouts that should be used as standard. They
supplement the callouts identified in the SOP.
These standard Airbus callouts are also designed to promote situational awareness, and to ensure
crew understanding of systems and their use in line operation.
CHECKLIST CALLOUTS
Ident.: PRO-NOR-SOP-90-00011901.0001001 / 20 DEC 10
Applicable to: ALL
‐ “CHECK”: A command for the other pilot to check an item.
‐ “CHECKED”: A response that an item has been checked.
‐ “CROSSCHECKED”: A callout verifying information from both pilot stations.
If a checklist needs to be interrupted, announce: “HOLD CHECKLIST AT ___” and “RESUME
CHECKLIST AT ___” for the continuation.
Upon completion of a checklist announce: “__CHECKLIST COMPLETE”.
ACTIONS COMMANDED BY PF
Applicable to: ALL
Ident.: PRO-NOR-SOP-90-A-00011902.0001001 / 13 AUG 10
GENERAL
The following commands do not necessarily initiate a guidance mode change, eg.: selected to
managed/managed to selected. The intent is to ensure clear, consistent, standard communication
between crewmembers.
All actions performed on the FCU and MCDU must be checked on the PFD and ND (eg.: “FL 350
blue”, “FL 200 magenta"). Ensure that the correct FCU knob is used, then verify indications on the
PFD /ND.
Ident.: PRO-NOR-SOP-90-A-00011904.0001001 / 09 JUN 15
SET
The “SET” command means using an FCU knob to set a value, but not to change a mode.
SET is accomplished by only rotating the appropriate selection knob.

MANAGE/PULL
The “MANAGE” command means pushing an FCU knob to engage, or arm, a managed mode or
target.
The “PULL” command means pulling an FCU knob to engage a selected mode or target. Example:
‐ "PULL HDG 090” (HDG/TRK knob is pulled and turned).
‐ “MANAGE NAV” (HDG/TRK knob is pushed).
‐ “FL 190 PULL” (ALT knob is turned and pulled).
‐ “FL 190 MANAGE” (ALT knob is turned and pushed).
‐ “PULL SPEED 250 KNOTS” (SPD/MACH knob is pulled and turned).
‐ “MANAGE SPEED” (SPD/MACH knob is pushed).
Note: If the value was previously set, there is no requirement to repeat the figure.
Simply call e.g. PULL HDG: PULL SPEED: FL PULL.
The VS/FPA knob has no managed function. The standard callouts for the use of this knob are as
follows:
V/S Plus (or Minus) 700 PULL, or
FPA Minus 3 ° PULL (V/S/FPA knob is turned and pulled)
PUSH TO LEVEL OFF (V/S/FPA knob is pushed)
Ident.: PRO-NOR-SOP-90-A-00011906.0001001 / 13 AUG 10
ARM
The “ARM __” command means arming a system by pushing the specified FCU button.

Applicable to: ALL
Ident.: PRO-NOR-SUP-ADVWXR-A-00020694.0001001 / 21 MAR 17
BEFORE FLUID SPRAYING
In all situations, it is the captain’s responsibility to decide if the ground crew must deice/anti-ice the
aircraft, and/or if additional deicing/anti-icing treatment are required.
CAUTION ‐ Make sure that the low or high-pressure ground connectors do not supply any
external air to the aircraft.
‐ If it is necessary for the ground crew to repeatedly anti-ice the aircraft, they
must deice the surfaces with a hot fluid mixture before applying a new layer of
anti-icing fluid.
COMMUNICATION WITH GROUND CREW..................................................................ESTABLISH
L2 Establish communication with the crew that will apply the procedure.
L1 DEICING/ANTI-ICING FLUIDS TYPE......................................................... CHECK APPROPRIATE
L2 Check that the ground crew uses the correct deicing/anti-icing fluids, in accordance with the
applicable operator requirements and aircraft maintenance manual (AMM).
L1 DO NOT START THE ENGINES DURING FLUID SPRAYING
L2 Engines and APU can be either stopped or running during deicing/anti-icing.
L1 CAUTION ‐ The ground crew should take care when spraying deicing fluid, and make sure
that the engines and APU do no ingest any fluid.
‐ Do not move flaps, slats, ailerons, spoilers or elevators if they are not free of
ice.
‐ Always ensure that both left and right side of the aircraft receive the same
complete and symmetrical deicing/anti-icing treatment.
L2 Note: In case of frost formation on one or several areas of the wing, the Captain can request a
local deicing application only on the affected areas. The Captain shall take care that both
wings receive the same symmetrical treatment, even if frost formation does not affect
both wing symmetrically. For more information, refer to AMM.

melted snow or raindrops may drip from the cockpit windshields and freeze on
the fuselage below. This could create ice build up on the forward fuselage that
could possibly disturb the airflow around the static/pitot/angle-of-attack probes,
and result in unreliable air data measurements during takeoff. Therefore, during
taxi out before takeoff, beware of this possible build up of ice. The area around
static/pitot/angle-of-attack probes must be free of ice/snow before starting takeoff.
GROUND EQUIPMENT...................................................................................................... REMOVE
DEICING/ANTI-ICING REPORT.......................................................................................RECEIVED
The information from ground personnel, who performed the deicing/anti-icing and post-application
check, must include (ANTI-ICING CODE):
• Type of fluid used
• The mix ratio of fluid to water (for example 75/25)
• When the holdover time began.

Note: There is a risk of de-icing fluid ingestion by the APU air intake, resulting in specific
odors, or smoke warnings. Therefore:
‐ Keep the APU running with the APU BLEED OFF for 5 min after spraying
completion before setting the APU BLEED to ON (if required),
‐ Consider APU BLEED OFF for takeoff.
NORMAL PROCEDURE..................................................................................................... RESUME
Apply appropriate normal procedures. Pay special attention to the flight control check. In freezing
precipitation, perform the appropriate checks to evaluate aircraft icing. Base the decision on
whether to takeoff, or to re-protect the aircraft, on the amount of ice that has built up on the critical
surfaces since the last deicing/anti-icing, as revealed by a personal inspection from the inside and
outside of the aircraft. Make this inspection before the holdover time expires, or just before takeoff.

MINIMUM SPEED WITH ICE ACCRETION
Ident.: PRO-NOR-SUP-ADVWXR-00020722.0002001 / 21 MAR 17
Applicable to: ALL
Evidence of ice accretion can be ice on the visual indicator (between the two cockpit windshields) or
on the windshield wipers.
CAUTION Extended flight in icing conditions with the slats extended should be avoided.
If wing anti ice is operative:
In CONF clean, 1, 2 or 3:
MIN SPEED: VLS + 10 kt
In CONF FULL:
MIN SPEED: VLS + 5 kt
The minimum speed takes into account ice accretion on non-heated structure.
If wing anti ice is not operative:
MIN SPEED: VLS + 10 kt/GREEN DOT
The minimum speed takes into account ice accretion on the entire airframe when anti-ice is
inoperative.
OPERATIONS ON CONTAMINATED AIRPORTS
Applicable to: ALL
Ident.: PRO-NOR-SUP-ADVWXR-C-00020729.0001001 / 21 MAR 17
GENERAL
If the ground surfaces are not contaminated but the weather corresponds to icing conditions with
falling rain, slush or snow, anticipate a probable resulting runway/surfaces contamination.
There is a low probability of fluid ingestion by the engines which should anyway not degrade the
safety. The risk of ingestion is independent of the depth of the contaminant.

SPURIOUS ALERTS
The radio altimeter indication may fluctuate on contaminated surfaces and trigger auto callouts or
GPWS warnings. These alerts can be disregarded.
Note: Spurious GPWS warnings may trigger at the apron, during taxi, takeoff and landing runs.
The radio altimeter may also not compute valid data:
‐ On surfaces covered with snow, ice or deicing fluid, and/or
‐ Due to deicing fluid on the antenna.
Note: As a result, the "NAV RA 1(2)(1+2) FAULT" ECAM alert may be triggered. This alert may
disappear when the radio altimeter provides valid data again, when:
‐ The aircraft is on a non-contaminated surface, or
‐ The antenna is cleaned, or
‐ A period of time elapses after deicing, allowing the fluid covering the antenna to dry. The taxi
time between deicing spot and holding point may be sufficient.
In case of invalid LGCIU information, disregard the following alerts if triggered:
‐ENG DUAL FAILURE
‐ANTI-ICE CAPT(F/O) TAT FAULT

MANUAL ENGINE START
Applicable to: ALL
Ident.: PRO-NOR-SUP-ENG-A-00009443.0001001 / 21 MAR 17
Pilots normally use automatic starting to start an engine.
However, manual starting is recommended in the following cases:
‐After aborting a start, because of:
• Engine stall
• Engine EGT overlimit
• Low start air pressure
‐When expecting a start abort, because of:
• Degraded bleed performance, due to hot conditions, or at a high-altitude airfields.
• An engine with a reduced EGT margin, in hot conditions, or at a high-altitude airfields.
• Marginal performance of the external pneumatic power group.
Ident.: PRO-NOR-SUP-ENG-A-00020858.0003001 / 17 MAR 17
MANUAL ENGINE START PROCEDURE
Note: During a manual engine start, if the flight crew suspects an engine start malfunction, or
if an engine-related ECAM alert is triggered, the PF must abort the start sequence as
follows:
‐ Before the PF sets the ENG MASTER lever to ON, the PF must set the ENG MAN
START pb-sw to OFF
‐ After the PF sets the ENG MASTER lever to ON, the PF must set the ENG MASTER
lever to OFF, and then the ENG MAN START pb-sw to OFF.
In that case, the flight crew should consider a dry crank cycle of the affected engine
before they perform another start attempt (Refer to PRO-NOR-SUP-ENG Engine
Ventilation (Dry Cranking)).
Then, in the case of an ECAM alert, the PF must announce "ECAM actions", in
accordance with the ECAM management philosophy.
THR LEVERS..............................................................................................................................IDLE
CAUTION The engines start regardless of the thrust lever position. If the thrust levers are not
set to IDLE, the thrust rapidly increases to the corresponding thrust lever position,
causing a hazardous situation.
ENG MODE sel........................................................................................ NORM THEN IGN/START

Except in some operational conditions (e.g. uphill slopes, slippery taxiways or high gross weights),
brake life and fuel savings may govern company policy on permitting aircraft to taxi with one engine
shut down.
Before applying this procedure, the flight crew should be aware of the following:
‐ Taxi with one engine shut down may require higher thrust than usual. Caution must therefore be
exercised to avoid excessive jet-blast and the risk of Foreign Object Damage (FOD)
‐ Slow or tight turns in the direction of the operating engine may not be possible at high gross
weights
‐ When one engine taxi is planned, pay particular attention to the fuel imbalance limitation for the
next take-off.

Flight with Landing Gear Down
GENERAL
Ident.: PRO-NOR-SUP-LG-LG_DN-00001997.0001001 / 04 SEP 17
Applicable to: ALL
It is possible to perform a flight with the landing gear locked down and the doors closed.
This chapter applies to either of the following two situations:
‐ The dispatch of an aircraft with the landing gear down, or
‐ The continuation of the flight when a landing gear retraction failure happens after takeoff.
The limitations, procedures and performance associated to a flight with the landing gear down are
described below.
LIMITATIONS
Ident.: PRO-NOR-SUP-LG-LG_DN-00001999.0002001 / 04 SEP 17
Applicable to: ALL
For a flight with the landing gear down, all of the following supplementary limitations apply:
‐ Consider a VMO /MMO of 235 kt/M 0.60
‐ Landing gear doors must be closed
‐ Avoid icing conditions
‐ Do not use managed speeds, except during the approach
‐ Do not use CLB and DES autopilot modes
‐ Disregard FMS fuel, altitude, speed, and time prediction. Time prediction is valid on waypoints in
cruise only
‐ Use the TCAS in TA ONLY mode
‐ The ALTITUDE ALERT feature is not available
‐ Do not perform ETOPS flight.
Note: Ditching with the landing gear down is not assessed.

L2 The switch is located in the avionics compartment (on the 188VU panel). This switch changes
the VMO/MMO to 235 kt/M 0.60. As a result, an alert is triggered if the speed exceeds the
flight with gear down speed limitation.
L1 CAUTION In the case of continuation of the flight after a gear retraction failure, the flight
crew can not access the VMO/MMO switch. Therefore, the airspeed/Mach
number must be carefully monitored in order not to exceed 235 kt/M 0.60 as
there is no alert if the aircraft exceeds this limitation.
Ident.: PRO-NOR-SUP-LG-LG_DN-B-00002003.0012001 / 04 SEP 17
FLIGHT CONTROLS
Failure cases, which would normally lead to ALTN law, will degrade F/CTL laws down to DIRECT
law, if the landing gear is extended.
FAILURE OF BOTH ENGINES
When both engines are failed, to ease the handling of all the different ECAM procedures resulting
from this all engine flame out situation, it is recommended to use the ENG DUAL FAILURE QRH
procedure, and if time permits, to clear the ECAM.
Follow all the steps of the QRH procedure, except those that are modified by the procedure
below :
If APU is not available
‐ Attempt an APU start
‐ . If APU start is unsuccessful, a windmilling relight can be performed, as long as the speed
is above 300 kt (corresponding N2 above 12 %). In this case, increase the aircraft speed
and disregard VMO warning.
If APU is available : perform an assisted relight, when below FL 200.
‐ Flight controls are in direct laws. Use manual pitch trim as necessary (not indicated on PFD
if APU GEN not available).
TAKEOFF
Applicable to: ALL
Ident.: PRO-NOR-SUP-LG-LG_DN-C-00021928.0006001 / 04 SEP 17

It is not recommended to takeoff with tailwind.
To take into account the most limiting aspects of the takeoff, the second segment condition and
the final segment condition are considered.
Once the takeoff weight determined, read the corresponding speeds in the RTOW chart.
Ident.: PRO-NOR-SUP-LG-LG_DN-C-00002006.0017001 / 04 SEP 17
SECOND SEGMENT CONDITIONS
The MTOW for a flight with gear down can be determined with use of the basic RTOW chart
published for a normal flight.
To simplify calculations, a weight reduction percentage is applied for each configuration,
regardless of the limitation. This weight reduction takes into account the most critical case which is
obstacle clearance.
Takeoff configuration 1 + F 2 3
Weight reduction 22 % 19 % 19 %
MTOW DETERMINATION
Enter the basic RTOW chart with the runway conditions (temperature, pressure, etc.) desired
aircraft configuration, and obtain the basic MTOW.
Obtain the weight reduction percentage corresponding to the desired takeoff configuration from
the above table.
Reduce the previous basic MTOW by this percentage to obtain the MTOW, limited by the
second segment condition.

FLIGHT PLANNING
Ident.: PRO-NOR-SUP-LG-LG_DN-00002011.0001001 / 04 SEP 17
Applicable to: ALL
GENERAL
Flying with the gear down induces additional drag and therefore deteriorates aircraft performance.
This drag affects all phases of the flight where the landing gear is normally retracted.
MAXIMUM TAKEOFF WEIGHT DETERMINATION
The MTOW for the flight with gear down is determined by keeping the lowest of the weights given
by:
‐ The second segment condition
‐ The final segment condition
‐ The en-route conditions
‐ The go-around conditions.
To determine the MTOW for a flight with the gear down, perform all following steps:
1. Determine the MTOW limited by the second segment condition (Refer to
PRO-NOR-SUP-LG-LG_DN Second Segment Conditions).
2. Determine the MTOW limited by the final segment condition (Refer to
PRO-NOR-SUP-LG-LG_DN Final Segment Conditions).
3. Keep the lowest of the above weights as the MTOW.
4. With the MTOW determined in step 3, check the obstacle clearance along the planned route
(en-route).
To determine the One Engine Inoperative (OEI) obstacle clearance:
‐Refer to PRO-NOR-SUP-LG-LG_DN Driftdown Net Flight Path - One Engine Inoperative
‐Refer to PRO-NOR-SUP-LG-LG_DN Gross Ceilings - One Engine Inoperative.
If necessary, reduce the takeoff weight, in order to obtain the appropriate obstacle clearance.
5. Determine the go-around limiting weight (Refer to PRO-NOR-SUP-LG-LG_DN Go-Around). If
necessary, reduce the MTOW to comply with this requirement.
6. Keep the lowest MTOW from steps 3, 4, and 5.
FLIGHT PLAN
The flight planning can be performed with the use of the tables provided in this procedure, or with
a planning software (PEP, FlySmart, etc.).
FUEL BURN CORRECTION
The climb, cruise, and descent tables are determined for ISA conditions. For each degree Celsius
above ISA and per nautical mile of air distance, add a fuel burn correction of 0.05 kg/°C/NM air
distance (0.11 lb/°C/NM air distance).

Operation with Nosewheel Steering Offset
OPERATION WITH NOSEWHEEL STEERING OFFSET
Applicable to: ALL
Ident.: PRO-NOR-SUP-LG-LG-A-00020945.0001001 / 17 MAR 17
During taxi in a straight line, the crew may notice aircraft veering tendency. This can be due to
external conditions (crosswind, slope....), or to a nosewheel steering offset.
A nosewheel steering offset is usually notified through consecutive crew reports. The NWS offset
value is determined regarding the necessary rudder trim input used to cancel the veering tendency.
Ident.: PRO-NOR-SUP-LG-LG-A-00020946.0001001 / 17 MAR 17
When the NWS offset is within admissible limits, the flight crew can operate the aircraft as follows:
CAUTION A rudder trim reset must be performed before takeoff.
When the rudder trim adjustment is above the maintenance tolerance (±0.5 ° NWS
offset corresponding to ±3 ° rudder trim necessary to taxi straight), the flight crew
must systematically and accurately report the rudder trim value in the logbook.
NWS Offset Necessary

Operations at QNH Above 1050 hPa
GENERAL
Ident.: PRO-NOR-SUP-MISC-C-00002100.0015001 / 03 FEB 11
Applicable to: ALL
Some airlines may occasionally experience high barometric correction settings above 1 050 hPa,
or 31.0 inHg on some airfields, due to polar anticyclonic air mass conditions occuring near the polar
area during winter.
The FMS , FCU , ISIS instrument, PFD , and CPCS are capable of operating at QNH /QFE up to
1 100 hPa, or 32.48 inHg.
However, the ATC/TCAS operates only up to 1050 hPa (i.e. as long as the aircraft altitude remains
above –1000 feet standard pressure altitude).
Therefore, when using QNH , or QFE for QFE pin-programmed aircraft, for departure and arrival, the
crew should be aware of the following consequences, and should apply the following procedures.
It is necessary for the airline to obtain operational approval from its national airworthiness authorities.
CONSEQUENCES
Ident.: PRO-NOR-SUP-MISC-C-00002102.0038001 / 17 MAR 11
Applicable to: ALL
ON THE ATC-TCAS:
For takeoff, approach and landing, the ATC altitude reporting and the TCAS TA/RA function may
generate erroneous altitude information and nuisance TCAS alerts for other aircraft, if the aircraft
standard altitude is below -1 000 ft standard pressure altitude.
To avoid this, it is recommended to set ALT RPTG to OFF when the QNH exceeds 1 050 hPa, and
to inform the ATC . As a consequence the TCAS reverts to STBY mode.

If the date in the active database does not match the clock date, the MCDU displays “CHECK
DATA BASE CYCLE”. If this message appears, check the period of validity in the second
database and select it, if required.
CAUTION Cycling the navigation database deletes the active and secondary flight plans. Do
not cycle it while airborne because doing so will delete the flight plan, eliminate all
speed predictions, and blank the ND. If the aircraft is in managed speed, Green
Dot becomes the speed target.
CHECKING STORED WAYPOINTS, NAVAIDS, RUNWAYS, OR ROUTES
PRESS the DATA key.
PRESS the next page key.
SELECT, successively, as required:
‐ STORED WAYPOINT
‐ STORED NAVAIDS

ALIGNING IRS
The alignment phase is completed, when the ADIRS is initialized to an appropriate position. If the
GPS is available, initialization is automatic, using the GPS position. Flight crew intervention is not
necessary.
However, automatic initialization may be manually overriden by flight crew entry, at any moment
during the alignment phase. In this case, perform the following procedure as soon as possible, to
prevent delays if an alignment error occurs:
PRESS the INIT key, and then the IRS INIT prompt.
IRS INIT page is displayed with the airport reference point as default coordinates.
If necessary, PRESS [1L] and/or [1R] and use scroll keys to adjust the latitude and/or longitude
values.
For example, this can be used to enter the gate precise coordinates when the aircraft is intended
to fly without GPS on long segments without radio coverage.

PRESS the F-PLN key on the MCDU.
SELECT VERTICAL REVISION at the FROM waypoint.
WRITE a new speed limit/altitude and ENTER.
The crew can insert one climb speed limit and one descent speed limit into the vertical flight
plan, or modify or clear the limits that are already in it.
The speed limit is defined by a speed and an altitude (for example, 230/9 000), which means
that the managed speed target will be limited by the speed limit when the aircraft flies below the
specified altitude.
In both climb and descent, 250 kt at 10 000 ft is the default speed limit in the vertical flight plan.
The vertical revision page presents the climb speed (CLB SPD) limit if the revised waypoint is
between departure and top of descent.

SELECT the VERT REV page at the revised waypoint.
WRITE the speed constraint value into the scratchpad and ENTER it in 3L.
INSERT the constraint using the appropriate *CLB or DES * prompt when displayed. If CLB
and DES are not displayed, insertion occurs when the value is entered in 3L.
The system displays the climb (CLB ) or the descent (DES) prompt at [6L] or [6R] when the
predictions are not yet available or when the waypoint is part of the cruise phase as originally
defined.
When predictions are not yet available, the constraints are displayed on the F-PLN A page in
magenta.
When predictions are available, the speed constraint is highlighted by a star (*).
* If the predicted speed matches the constraint, the star is magenta.
* If the prediction is that the aircraft will miss the speed constraint, the star is amber.
If a speed constraint cannot be met (by more than 10 kt), the FMGS generates the
message “SPD ERROR AT WPT XX”.
A speed constraint may be assigned to any waypoint in the climb or the descent phase
except the FROM, origin, or destination waypoints, and any pseudo waypoint.
When a speed constraint is assigned to a waypoint, the constraint will limit the managed
speed target as follows:
‐ In takeoff or climb phase until you pass the constrained waypoint.
‐ In descent an approach phase, after passing the constrained waypoint.
Speed constraints are observed by the FMGS when NAV mode and speed managed are
active.

WRITE an altitude constraint in the scratchpad and ENTER it in 3R.
INSERT the constraint using *CLB or DES* prompt when it is displayed. Otherwise the value

The system displays the *CLB or DES* prompt, when the predictions are not yet available, or
when the waypoint is part of the cruise phase as originally defined.
Note: In case of QFE operations, the altitude constraints must be converted and entered
as an altitude in feet.
You or the database may assign an altitude constraint to any waypoint in the climb or descent
phases except the FROM, origin, or destination waypoints, or any pseudo waypoint.
An altitude constraint may be defined as an “at”, an “at or above”, or an “at or below”
constraint. In certain procedures, the database may define an altitude constraint as a window
in which the aircraft should fly.
Enter “AT” constraints with no sign.
Enter “AT or ABOVE” constraints preceded by a + sign (+FL 130, for example).
Enter “AT or BELOW” constraints preceded by a – sign (-15 000, for example).
enter four or five-digit number when entering altitude. Include the lead zero (0 500 ft , for
example).
For flight level, enter a two- or three-digit number, with or without the letters “FL”. The lead
zero is optional. (Examples : +FL 120 or +120 ; -FL 090 or -90 or -090)
Enter the altitude value as either altitude or flight level ; the MCDU displays the selected value
as an “ALT ” or “FL,” as appropriate for the transition altitude.
The constraint must be higher than the thrust reduction altitude and lower than the cruise
flight level.
Once inserted in the flight plan, the altitude constraint (ALT CSTR) is displayed in magenta as
long as predictions are not available.
When predictions are available, the altitude constraints are replaced by the predicted altitude
at relevant waypoints highlighted by a star.
* If the predicted altitude matches the constraint the star is magenta. If the predicted altitude
is missed (by more than 250 ft), the star is amber.

must be updated with the final Load and Trim Sheet values.
CHECK/MODIFY the TAXI [ 1L ], RTE RSV [ 3L ] and FINAL TIME [ 5L ] values.
The TAXI, RTE RSV and FINAL TIME fields display the default values specified in the AMI file
(for example, “0.4 t” for TAXI, “5.0 %” for RTE RSV and "0045" for FINAL TIME). The flight crew
may modify these values.

Note: At takeoff, the RTE RSV field will automatically be reset to 0. The RTE RSV fuel is
then added to the EXTRA fuel, which ensures that the EXTRA fuel and MIN DEST
FOB values are consistent in flight.
ENTER an ALTN fuel value in the [4L] field, as necessary.
The flight crew may enter the ALTN fuel value planned on the Computerized Flight Plan (CFP),
as necessary.
ENTER a MIN DEST FOB value in the [6L] field, as necessary.
Note: MIN DEST FOB (equal to ALTN + FINAL) can be increased at flight crew discretion
(e.g. when HOLD is expected at destination).
ENTER the TRIP WIND value in the [ 5R ] field, as necessary.
In no wind profile has been entered in the F-PLN, the crew may enter an average TRIP WIND in
this field, to obtain more realistic fuel/time predictions before departure.
Note: 1. The flight crew should only enter a TRIP WIND to obtain realistic fuel/time
predictions, on ground. Then, the flight crew should enter a wind profile using the
WIND pages, for fuel/time predictions in flight. As soon as flight crew has entered a
wind profile on the WIND pages, the TRIP WIND will be erased.
2. If the crew has already defined a wind profile, even partially (such as climb wind), it
is not possible to enter a TRIP WIND.
ENTER the planned BLOCK fuel, as indicated in the computerized flight plan (CFP)
If the planned BLOCK fuel is not available, the crew may obtain a prediction of the minimum
BLOCK fuel required for the flight by pressing the FUEL PLANNING prompt [3R].
Pressing this prompt makes the FMS compute the minimum required BLOCK fuel, which is the
BLOCK fuel required to have EXTRA fuel = 0, based on the parameters entered on the INIT and
F-PLN pages.
The computed BLOCK fuel value is displayed in the [2R] field, and a BLOCK CONFIRM prompt
appears in the [3R] field.
Note: In order to obtain a realistic fuel computation, the flight crew should ensure that the
F-PLN initialization has been completed (including insertion of the ALTN F-PLN and/or
ALTN fuel and/or MIN DEST FOB if necessary), and that flight parameters, such as
CRZ FL, steps climbs (if any), and winds, have been inserted.

TAKEOFF WITH NO WEIGHT/CG DATA
If the crew does not enter ZFW /ZFWCG data prior takeoff, or if the FMGC looses these values
due to a power interruption, the following will occur:
‐ At takeoff, the Speed Reference System (SRS ) mode is available (provided a V2 has been
inserted)
‐ When the aircraft leaves the SRS mode, the target speed becomes the current speed and
reverts to selected.
Note: If the AP /FD has reverted to ALT or V/S (FPA ) mode, the associated A/THR mode is
SPEED. In this case, the system will probably reduce thrust, because the speed will be
equal to, or greater than, the target speed.
When appropriate, to regain FMS predictions and associated managed modes:
INSERT the ZFW/ZFWCG values on the FUEL PRED page.
Ident.: PRO-NOR-SRP-01-10-B-00003970.0007001 / 15 FEB 11

PRESS to the FUEL PRED key.
INSERT the ZFW /ZFWCG values in the [4R] field.
This allows predictions and performance computation.
CHECK the resulting computed data, against the data planned on the CFP: TRIP fuel, RTE RSV

climb speed on the “PERF CLB” page, as long as the climb phase is not active.
The CLB SPD preselection applies, when the:
‐ ATC specifies an initial climb speed.
‐ Initial climb speed must be lower than normal because:
• There are to be turns greater than 120 ° in the initial climb out.
• Obstacle clearance, or some other situation, requires a high climb angle.
• The airfield has a risk area to be quickly cleared (birds reported, for example).

The direction in which the pilot rotates the HDG/TRK selection knob usually determines the
direction of the turn. A left rotation (decreasing heading) produces a left turn; a right rotation
produces a right turn.
However, when a heading has been preset before takeoff or go-around, the direction of the
turn will be such as to cause the shortest turn at the moment of engagement.
CANCELLING THE HEADING/TRACK PRESET FUNCTION
The pilot can cancel the heading preset by pushing the HDG/TRK knob back in again. This
engages or arms the NAV mode.

REACHING CRUISE FLIGHT LEVEL
Ident.: PRO-NOR-SRP-01-50-00003992.0002001 / 03 NOV 14
Applicable to: ALL
On reaching the cruise flight level, the flight crew should be sure that the FMA displays “ALT CRZ ”
in its second column, which ensures that the aircraft is at cruise flight level and at Economy Cruise
Mach (ECON CRZ MACH).
The FMGS engages the “soft altitude” (SOFT ALT ) mode 2 min after the cruise flight level is
captured and Mach stabilized. (SOFT ALT) mode allows the aircraft to deviate ± 50 ft from the target
altitude to minimize the thrust variation and reduce the fuel consumption.
If the FMA does not display ALT CRZ at the assigned flight level, soft altitude mode will
not engage and the predictions will be computed at the preplanned flight level. This will occur
when the ATC assigned flight level is lower than the preplanned flight level entered on the PROG
page.
If the FMA does not display ALT CRZ at the assigned FL (as may occur when the
ATC-assigned FL is lower than the preplanned FL selected initially):
PRESS the [PROG].
ENTER the current cruise flight level.
Note: If the current cruise flight level is above the preplanned FL , selecting the FCU updates
it automatically.
“SET SPD AUTO” OR “SET MANAGED SPD” OR “CHECK SPEED MODE”
If the climb phase was flown in selected speed and if the cruise phase is planned to be
flown in managed speed (ECON MACH/SPEED) , “SET SPD AUTO” or “SET MANAGED
SPEED” or "CHECK SPEED MODE" appears on the PFD and MCDU as a reminder.

MONITORING THE NAVIGATION ACCURACY
Applicable to: ALL
Ident.: PRO-NOR-SRP-01-50-A-00003993.0001001 / 22 MAY 12
GENERAL
On aircraft equipped with GPS PRIMARY, the navigation accuracy check is not required as long
as GPS PRIMARY is available.
Otherwise, navigation accuracy shall be checked periodically in cruise.
The PROG page displays an estimated accuracy as being high or low (center of sixth line):
‐ “HIGH” means that the FMGS estimates the FM position accurate enough to meet the EN
ROUTE criteria,
‐ “LOW” means that the pilot must compare raw data from tuned navaids with corresponding data
computed by FM and shown on the ND or MCDU PROG page. The appearance of the message
“NAV ACCUR DOWNGRAD” on the MCDU calls for a similar crosscheck.
Note: The pilot should make such a comparison periodically, even if the PROG page is
displaying “HIGH” and navaids are available: this allows him to quantify the FM position
error.
The method for checking the accuracy is explained in the SOP and in Evaluation of position
accuracy chapter (Refer to DSC-22_20-20-20 General).
A quick check is explained here below when the TO waypoint is a DME type. (VOR /DME or VOR
/TAC or DME or TAC)

MONITORING THE FUEL PREDICTIONS
Ident.: PRO-NOR-SRP-01-50-00003995.0013001 / 14 FEB 11
Applicable to: ALL
The F-PLN and FUEL PRED pages display fuel and time predictions throughout the flight. These
predictions are meaningful if the lateral and vertical flight plan, and the entered winds are kept
accurate enough as the flight progresses.
PROCEDURE
In addition to the Fuel Management procedure described in the SOPs (Refer to
PRO-NOR-SOP-15 Cruise - Flight Progress), periodically apply the following actions:
KEEP ACCURATE FMS PREDICTIONS
Periodically UPDATE the F-PLN elements (F-PLN waypoints, step altitudes, predicted winds).
CHECK the MIN DEST FOB value on the FUEL PRED page
The MIN DEST FOB value is computed by the FMS and by default it is equals to ALTN + FINAL.
ALTN , FINAL and MIN DEST FOB can be modified by the flight crew.
At the beginning of the CRZ phase, and/or after any change of destination or alternate airport,
check that the MIN DEST FOB value is meaningful. Otherwise, update the MIN DEST FOB value,
as appropriate.
CHECK the DEST EFOB value on the F-PLN or FUEL PRED page
MONITOR the EFOB at destination on the F-PLN or FUEL PRED page. If necessary, ADAPT the
flight strategy.
"DEST EFOB BELOW MIN" MESSAGE
If the predicted EFOB at destination becomes less than the MIN DEST FOB value displayed on
the FUEL PRED page:
‐ The destination EFOB turns to amber on the F-PLN , FUEL PRED and PERF (CLB , CRZ ,
DES) pages, and REPORT page.
‐ The “DEST EFOB BELOW MIN ” amber message is displayed on the MCDU scratchpad, after
2 min (if the FMS is in CRZ or DES phase).
Note: If the flight crew has cleared the “DEST EFOB BELOW MIN ” message, and if the
predicted EFOB at destination is still less than the MIN DEST FOB value, the “DEST
EFOB BELOW MIN” message will appear again at the beginning of the descent phase.
PROCEDURE
If the “DEST EFOB BELOW MIN” message is triggered on the MCDU:
CHECK the DEST EFOB value on the F-PLN or FUEL PRED page,

ENTERING A STEP CLIMB OR A STEP DESCENT
Ident.: PRO-NOR-SRP-01-50-00003996.0002001 / 22 MAY 12
Applicable to: ALL
The crew may use the STEP ALTS page to enter up to four geographic step points or one optimal
step (computed by the FMGS) at any waypoint of the cruise.
PROCEDURE
PRESS the PERF key.
SELECT “STEP ALTS” prompt.
The PERF PAGE displays this prompt in cruise phase. The crew may also call up the STEP ALTS
page using a vertical revision at any cruise waypoint.
ENTERING AN OPTIMAL STEP (ONLY STEP CLIMB)
WRITE a step altitude or FL into the scratchpad.
ENTER the step altitude or FL in the [1R] field.
CHECK the FUEL and TIME SAVINGS predictions on the 5L and 5R fields.
PUSH the INSERT prompt [6R] if adequate.
After insertion, the optimum step climb is updated only when the flight crew presses the UPDATE
prompt [6R].
The ND shows symbols for the start of climb (S/C ) and the top of climb (T/C ). The MCDU shows
the associated pseudo-waypoints.
It is possible to convert an optimum step to a geographic step by overwriting the [1L] field (see
geographic step).
When reaching the step climb pseudo-waypoint:
REQUEST climb clearance.

The DIST/TIME field may display the following messages:
‐ ABOVE MAX if the step altitude exceeds the MAX ALT.
‐ IGNORED if the start step point is less than 50 NM from the top of descent.
‐ STEP NOW when the aircraft is within 20 NM of the step point.
If the aircraft overflies the step waypoint without commencing a climb or a descent, the
system deletes the step from the vertical F-PLN automatically (a “STEP DELETED”
message is displayed on the MCDU scratchpad), and recomputes the predictions.
A step is not deleted if the FCU altitude is moved only partially towards the step altitude.
The flight phase remains “cruise” whenever a step is initiated.
Note: For an altitude restriction defined at a waypoint less than 50 NM before the top of
descent and lower than the CRZ FL, it is recommended to enter an altitude constraint
rather than a step.

IMMEDIATE CHANGE OF LEVEL IN CRUISE
Ident.: PRO-NOR-SRP-01-50-00003997.0001001 / 14 FEB 11
Applicable to: ALL
When the pilot changes his flight level without inserting a step:
‐ If the FCU -selected altitude is above the previous CRZ FL , the CRZ FL on the PROG page
changes to the new flight level.
‐ If the FCU -selected altitude is lower than the previous CRZ FL and if the distance to DEST is
more than 200 NM, the CRZ FL on the PROG page changes.
In that case Mach target is managed as follows:
• At the start of the descent, the Mach target is the managed Mach number at the initial cruise
flight level.
• When the aircraft reaches the new flight level, the Mach target switches either to the Mach
number for the lower CRZ FL , or to the speed for the lower CRZ FL if the aircraft reaches the
crossover altitude. This logic prevents the aircraft from exceeding VMO during descent.
‐ If the FCU -selected altitude is lower than the previous CRZ FL and the aircraft is within 200 NM of
its destination, the system activates the descent phase.
The pilot may reactivate the cruise phase by entering a new cruise flight level in the PROG page.

Descent
DESCENT INITIATION
Ident.: PRO-NOR-SRP-01-60-00004007.0001001 / 14 FEB 11
Applicable to: ALL
The top of descent, displayed on the F-PLN page (T/D ) and on the ND ( ), is a position that the
system calculates, assuming that the aircraft will begin its descent in DES mode with managed
speed, and that the system will guide the aircraft along the descent profile computed with all the
vertical F-PLN data (ALT CSTR, ECON or AUTO MACH/SPD, SPD CSTR, SPD LIMIT) to reach
VAPP at 1 000 ft AGL.
Note: The ND does not display the top of descent when HDG (or TRACK) mode is engaged.
PROCEDURES
When the aircraft reaches the top of descent (F/D) :
SELECT the altitude target.
PUSH the ALT selector knob. DES mode engages.
CHECK the FMA annunciators.
DESCENT MONITORING
Applicable to: ALL
Ident.: PRO-NOR-SRP-01-60-A-00004008.0007001 / 06 JUN 16
DES MODE ENGAGED
When DES mode is engaged, NAV mode is engaged, and the system takes into account all
altitude and speed constraints of the F-PLN.
The key parameter for monitoring the descent is the vertical deviation (VDEV ) displayed on the
PFD and on the PROG page, which indicates whether the aircraft is on, above, or below the
descent profile.
PROCEDURE
SET the ATC -cleared altitude on the FCU (considering also what is the safe altitude).
If the lowest safe altitude is higher than the ATC -cleared altitude, check with ATC that this
constraint applies.
If it is confirmed, SET the FCU altitude to the safe altitude until it is safe to go to the
ATC-cleared altitude.
MONITOR vertical deviation (VDEV ) on the PFD and the PROG page.

If the aircraft is on the descent profile:
The aircraft is considered to be on the vertical profile, when it is within 50 ft of it. VDEV is
close to zero, and the system predicts that it will match constraints until the aircraft levels off
at the next FCU altitude.
MONITOR the predicted descent point after the next level-off.
A/THR adjusts thrust for the particular segment. The first FMA column may display “THR

recommended.
DECELERATED APPROACH
The decelerated approach technique brings the aircraft down to 1 000 ft, at VAPP . In most
cases, the interception of the final descent path is achieved with CONF 1 at S speed.
(*) The approach must be stabilized at approach speed (minimum ground speed) in the

the flight crew has to select “NAV ” button from RMP 1 and RMP 2.
If the ILS has a DME , the PFD will not display the DME distance. In this situation, the flight crew
will fly without DME information. If necessary, increase the Decision height (DH) accordingly.

LOCALIZER (LOC) BEAM CAPTURE
The flight crew must always monitor the capture of a LOC beam. During this evolution, the PFD
and ND must indicate that associated deviation indications move toward the centre of the scale.
To avoid performing a false capture, the flight crew must be careful not to arm the LOC too early.
The following graph shows the angle of interception versus distance to the runway threshold that
ensures that the aircraft will not overshoot the axis by more than one and a half dot.
The capture begins when the deviation is two dots or less. It is programmed to line the aircraft up
on the beam with a single overshoot, even if the intercept angle is large.
Note: ICAO requires LOC beam to ensure a normal capture within 10 NM and plus or minus
35 ° from the course centerline. Some ILS systems just meet the requirement and are
subject to false capture outside these limits.

SWITCHING FROM NON ILS TO ILS APPROACH
Ident.: PRO-NOR-SRP-01-70-00004028.0002001 / 17 MAR 11
Applicable to: ALL
If an ILS approach is possible when a non ILS was previously scheduled, use one of the following
procedures:
USE OF SECOND FLIGHT PLAN
Use a secondary flight plan to prepare the alternate ILS approach, time permitting.
COPY the ACTIVE flight plan.
REVISE the ARRIVAL: insert the ILS approach and the applicable STAR/VIA.
On the RAD NAV page, TUNE in the ILS manually.
REVISE the PERF APPR page.
CHANGE OF THE CLEARANCE
ATC changes the clearance from the non-ILS to the ILS approach.
If a secondary flight plan has been prepared:
ACTIVATE the SEC F-PLN and adjust.
Follow subsequent standard procedures.
If a secondary flight plan has not been prepared:
REVISE the ARRIVAL on the primary F-PLN, inserting the ILS approach.
REVISE the PERF APPR page.
Follow subsequent standard procedures.
CAUTION If the pilot decides to fly the ILS approach without revising the arrival of
the primary flight plan (a non ILS approach is in the F-PLN ), LOC and G/S
modes will not be available when he presses the APPR pushbutton.
Consequently, he should:
• Manually TUNE in the ILS on the RAD NAV page: CHECK that the
"CHECK APPR SELECTION" message comes up.
• Press the ILS pushbutton and select ROSE ILS on the EIS CONTROL
panel.
• Use HDG , V/S or TRK , FPA modes to fly the ILS.

LANDING CATEGORIES
Ident.: PRO-NOR-SRP-01-70-00004038.0001001 / 16 NOV 11
Applicable to: ALL
Each FMGC computes its own landing category : CAT 1, CAT 2, CAT 3 single, and CAT 3 dual and
displays the corresponding landing category on the FMAs.
Each category depends upon the availability of aircraft systems and functions.
When the landing capability downgrades, a triple click aural warning is activated.
FAIL-OPERATIONAL AUTOMATIC LANDING SYSTEM
An automatic landing system is fail-operational if, in the event of a failure below alert height, the
remaining part of the automatic system allows the aircraft to complete the approach, flare, and
landing. A CAT 3 DUAL system is a fail-operational automatic landing system.
Note: In the event of a failure, the automatic landing system operates as a fail-passive system.
FAIL-PASSIVE AUTOMATIC LANDING SYSTEM
An automatic landing system is fail-passive if, in the event of a failure, there is no significant
out-of-trim condition or deviation of flight path or attitude, but the landing is not completed
automatically. A CAT3 single system is a fail-passive automatic landing system.
Note: With a fail-passive automatic landing system the pilot assumes control of the aircraft after
a failure.
Below 100 ft (radio altimeter), the FMGS freezes the landing capability until LAND mode is
disengaged or both APs are off.
Therefore a failure occurring below 100 ft does not change the category of the system.
ALERT HEIGHT
The alert height is the height above touch down, above which a CAT3 autoland would be
discontinued and a missed approach executed, if a failure occurred in either the airplane systems
or the relevant ground equipments.
Below the alert height, if such a failure occurs, the flare, touchdown and roll out may be
accomplished using the remaining automatic system.

WARNINGS FOR ILS APPROACH
Ident.: PRO-NOR-SRP-01-70-00004039.0002001 / 17 MAR 17
Applicable to: ALL
AUTOLAND WARNING
With “LAND” or “FLARE” green on the FMA and at least one AP engaged, the AUTOLAND red
light appears on the glareshield when the aircraft is below 200 ft RA and one of the following
events occurs:
‐ The autopilots are lost, or
‐ The aircraft gets too far off the beam (LOC or G/S flash on PFD), or
‐ Loss of LOC signal above 15 ft, or loss of glide signal above 100 ft (transmitter or receivers).
‐ The difference between both radio altimeter indications is greater than 15 ft.
WARNING OF EXCESSIVE BEAM DEVIATION
This warning is a flashing of the LOC and G/S scales on the PFD and ND ROSE ILS. It occurs
whenever:
‐ G/S deviation is greater than 1 dot (above 100 ft RA).
‐ LOC deviation is greater than 1/4 dot (above 15 ft RA).
WARNING ASSOCIATED WITH ILS "LANDING CAPABILITY"
Any downgrading in the aircraft’s capability for automatic approach and landing sounds a
triple-click aural warning.
FAILURE OF BOTH LOCALIZER AND GLIDESLOPE RECEIVERS
The PFD and ND (rose ILS mode) display red LOC and G/S flags (if the ILS pushbutton has
been pressed green). LOC and G/S scales disappear from the PFD.
If LOC or G/S modes are engaged and at least one AP /FD is engaged
‐ The AP disengages.
‐ The FD reverts to its HDG -V/S or TRK -FPA modes.
FAILURE OF LOCALIZER OR GLIDESLOPE TRANSMITTER (WHEN CAPTURED)
‐ The corresponding index is lost.
‐ The LOC and G/S scales flash.
‐ The corresponding FD bar flashes.
Above 200 ft RA , if the transmitter failure lasts less than 7 s, the FMA retains the LOC and G/S
modes (or the LAND mode) and the AP s are able to regain these modes. If the failure lasts
longer than 7 s, the AP disengages and the FD reverts to its basic modes. Below 200 ft RA , if

MONITORING THE GO-AROUND
Ident.: PRO-NOR-SRP-01-80-00004054.0002001 / 09 DEC 09
Applicable to: ALL
Engage the GO-AROUND phase and GO-AROUND modes by setting the thrust levers to the TOGA
position, if at least CONF1 is selected.
When the GO-AROUND phase is engaged, the previously-flown approach is automatically strung
back into the flight plan at the end of the missed approach procedure.
In the GO-AROUND phase, the system makes no predictions. Consequently, CLB and DES modes
are not available, and the flight crew must monitor constraints.
When the aircraft leaves the GO-AROUND phase, all predictions and modes become available
again. During a GO-AROUND phase, the managed speed is Green Dot.
HEADING/TRACK PRESET FUNCTION IN GO-AROUND PHASE
The flight crew can use the heading/track preset, when LOC *, LOC , LAND, FINAL or GA is
engaged.
SET the appropriate heading, or track value, in the window of the FCU.
When necessary, PULL the HDG/TRK selection knob to engage the mode on the preset value.

GENERAL
Ident.: PRO-SPO-20-00001883.0001001 / 12 NOV 15
Applicable to: ALL
Flight without cabin pressurization can result of:
‐ Dispatch under MEL
‐ Departure following a structural damage
‐ Depressurization in flight
The flight crew must decide the flight level and the airspeed depending on:
‐ The cause of the depressurization
‐ The distance to fly
‐ The topographic conditions
‐ The meteorological conditions, and
‐ The passengers on board the aircraft.
Revenue flight is permitted without cabin pressurization, provided that the oxygen requirements
below are achieved.
After a MEL dispatch with both PACKs inoperative, the flight without cabin pressurization is permitted
provided the flight is performed without passengers.

FLIGHT PLANNING AND EXECUTION
Applicable to: ALL
Ident.: PRO-SPO-20-A-00001981.0001001 / 21 MAR 17
ALTITUDE
Flight route planning should consider the above-stated restriction in cabin altitude. If cabin
altitude exceeds 9 550 ± 350 ft, the EXCESS CAB ALT warning on the ECAM will be activated.
When above 14 000 ft, the passenger oxygen masks will drop automatically. Therefore, the
recommended maximum altitude for prolonged flight is FL 100. The minimum altitude should be
selected by respecting :
‐ The Minimum Safe Altitude (MSA),
‐ Turbulence, which is uncomfortable for passengers and,
‐ Low Outside Air Temperature (OAT), which can be uncomfortable for passengers when the
cabin is ventilated by ram air only.
Ident.: PRO-SPO-20-A-00001983.0001001 / 21 MAR 17
AIRSPEED
If decompression is due to structural damage, consider airspeed reduction. Use slats and flaps, as
necessary, to establish low speed conditions. In addition, turbulent conditions are uncomfortable
for passengers, and gust response should be minimized by reducing airspeed.
Ident.: PRO-SPO-20-A-00001984.0001001 / 21 MAR 17
CLIMB AND DESCENT RATE
Takeoff must be performed normally, and the rate of climb must be limited to about 500 ft/min, to
ease the pressure change felt by passengers and crew.
Likewise, the rate of descent must be limited to about 1 000 ft/min, except for the final approach
which must be performed normally. Notify the ATC of any performance deficiency by a remark in
the flight plan.
Ident.: PRO-SPO-20-A-00001985.0004001 / 21 MAR 17
EMER DESCENT IN CASE OF RAPID DEPRESSURIZATION
In the event of depressurization, oxygen is supplied to passengers through an individual mask.
The capacity of the units is such that the aircraft must descend and remain below the following
profile.

The system design and the reliability of the engine installation of this airplane comply with the criteria
for Extended Twin Operations (ETOPS ) flights set forth in AMC 20-6 rev. 2 (EASA) or FAR 25.1535
(FAA), when the aircraft is configured, maintained and operated in accordance with the Airbus CMP
(Configuration, Maintenance and Procedure) document.
This statement of ability does not constitute an approval to conduct Extended-Range Operations.
The ETOPS EXTENDED OPERATIONS Chapter of the AFM APPENDICES AND SUPPLEMENTS
Section refers to the approved Standard for Extended-Range Operations and the applicable
limitations, procedures and performance references.
The operator is responsible for showing that he is complying with the regulation of his nation and for
obtaining operational approval from his national authorities. The operator may amend this chapter, as
needed.
The airplane must be configured in accordance with the Airbus Standard for Extended-Range
Operations. However, the authorities may under certain conditions allow the operator to conduct
ETOPS flights with limited maximum diversion time (for example, 75 min diversion time in a benign
area of operation) without showing full compliance with these standards.

DEFINITIONS
Ident.: PRO-SPO-40-20-00002031.0001001 / 23 JUN 15
Applicable to: ALL
For the purpose of EU-OPS 1-245 and FAR 121-161, Extended-Range Operations are those
intended to be conducted over a route that contains a point beyond 60 min from an adequate airport
at the selected one-engine-inoperative speed in still air and ISA (or prevailing delta ISA) conditions.
An adequate airport is an airport which satisfies the aircraft performance requirements applicable
at the expected landing weight, and sufficiently equipped to be safely used. In particular, at the
anticipated time of use, it should be available and equipped with the necessary services, including
ATC, weather information, navaids and emergency services.
An ETOPS (en-route) alternate airport is a confirmed adequate airport which satisfies the dispatch
weather minima requirements for ceiling and visibility within the required validity period.
AREA OF OPERATION
Ident.: PRO-SPO-40-20-00002032.0001001 / 21 MAR 17
Applicable to: ALL
The ETOPS area of operations is the airspace within which the distance to an ETOPS adequate
airport is less than the ETOPS Max Diversion distance.
The ETOPS maximum diversion distance from an adequate airport must be determined for ISA
(or prevailing delta ISA ) and no-wind conditions, taking into account aircraft performance with one
engine inoperative and the remaining engine operating at MCT.
To determine the ETOPS maximum diversion distance from an adequate airport, the operator must
define a One Engine Inoperative diversion speed for performance computation.
The same approved one-engine-inoperative diversion speed (Refer to PER-OEI-GEN STRATEGY)
must be considered for :
‐ Establishing the area of operation,
‐ Calculating the single-engine fuel planning,
‐ Conducting the diversion in case of engine failure (conditions permitting).
The operator has to define an aircraft weight at diversion that is considered for the ETOPS Maximum
Diversion Distance calculation. This aircraft weight can be taken as a representative but conservative
value of the aircraft gross weight at the critical point of the route or at the various critical points of all
the routes included in a given sector.
The approved one-engine-inoperative descent and cruise speed must be chosen so that the
associated net flight path clears the en-route obstacles with the regulatory margin. However, a
speed other than the approved one-engine-inoperative speed may be used as the basis for obstacle
clearance as long as the fuel required with that speed is covered by the critical fuel scenario.
Refer to PER-OEI-GEN STRATEGYfor these two one-engine-inoperative speeds.

When the one-engine-inoperative diversion speed is chosen, the maximum distance from a diversion
airport, can be directly determined for different maximum diversion times, with the help of the tables
provided in this section. The area of possible ETOPS operation can then be drawn on plotting charts.
Another way to determine the maximum distance to a diversion airport is to read the
one-engine-inoperative cruise TAS (for the reference gross weight and at the FL for best TAS ) in
the cruise tables (Refer to PER-OEI-GEN STRATEGY) taking into consideration the appropriate
speed strategy and the minimum altitude for clearing possible obstacles. The maximum distance the
aircraft can travel to a diversion airport is this one-engine-inoperative-TAS multiplied by the maximum
allowed diversion time granted to the operator.
Operators whose authorities require that an approved one-engine-inoperative speed be published in
the Flight Manual must use this approved speed.

The MMEL has been approved taking into consideration the duration of the average ETOPS flight
and the maximum diversion time granted to the airframe/engine combination.
The MMEL published by Airbus and approved by the EASA can be used to establish the airline MEL,
which must be approved by the operator's national authorities.
This MEL will probably be adapted to the airline network, environment and organization.
Other determining parameters will be :
• The maximum and the average diversion times on the route.
• The equipment of the enroute alternates.
• The navigation and communication facilities.
• The average meteorological conditions.

‐ Pressurization Failure + Engine Failure
‐ Pressurization Failure
Same Flight Profile as above, but all engines operating and Diversion Cruise Speed* set to LRC.
‐ Engine Failure
Same Flight Profile as above, but standard descent speed and Diversion Cruise at the FL **
appropriate to gross engine out ceiling at the selected ETOPS diversion speed.
‐ FAA Fuel Requirements
For the first two scenarios, involving depressurization, the required block fuel must be calculated
in accordance with the operator’s ETOPS fuel policy and using the regulatory ETOPS critical fuel
reserves Refer to PRO-SPO-40-30 ETOPS Critical Fuel Reserves.
Depending on the approved one-engine-inoperative speed selected for the single-engine diversion
strategy, either of these two scenarios may result in the higher fuel requirement.
The scenario resulting in the higher fuel requirement is called the ETOPS critical fuel scenario, and
the associated minimum block fuel requirement is the ETOPS critical fuel plan.
Note that, it is not necessary to calculate the 3rd scenario (engine failure), as this scenario is never
critical, due to the higher diversion flight level.

ETOPS CRITICAL FUEL RESERVES
Ident.: PRO-SPO-40-30-00012901.0001001 / 23 JUN 15
Applicable to: ALL
For the computation of the ETOPS critical fuel reserves and of the complete ETOPS critical fuel
planning according to EASA AMC 20-6 rev 2 and FAR 121.646, the diversion fuel must include the
following fuel provisions:
‐ Fuel burn-off from the critical point to the end of descent at the alternate airport
‐ Fuel for 15 min of holding at 1 500 ft and green dot speed at the alternate
‐ Fuel for an instrument approach and landing
‐ Fuel to account for errors in wind forecasting (5 % wind speed factor on actual forecast wind
speeds or 5 % fuel if actual forecast wind speeds are not used)
‐ Fuel to account for aircraft deterioration (use a demonstrated performance factor or 5 %)
‐ Fuel to account for any Configuration Deviation List (CDL ) or MEL item
‐ Fuel to account for Icing Effects (if forecast) for the critical mission
‐ Fuel to account for APU use (only for the one-engine-inoperative scenario, if APU is operative)
WIND ERRORS
A 5 % wind speed factor (i.e. an increment to headwind or a decrement to tailwind) on the actual
forecast wind should be used to account for potential errors. However if the operator is not using
the actual forecast wind based on a wind model acceptable to the certification authorities then 5 %
of the fuel for the critical scenario is required as a reserve fuel.
ICING
The most critical scenario must be compensated for the greater of:
A. The effect of airframe icing during 10 % of the time during which icing is forecast, including ice
accumulation on unprotected surfaces, and the fuel used by engine and wing anti-ice during
this period.
B. Fuel for engine and wing anti-ice for the entire time during which icing is forecast.
Note: The ETOPS icing fuel reserve is always limited by (B)
Unless a reliable icing forecast is available, icing may be presumed to occur when the Total Air
Temperature (TAT) is less than +10 °C, or if the outside air temperature is between 0 °C and
-20 °C with a relative humidity of 55 % or more.
APU
Fuel consumption of 80 kg/h / or 176 lb/h (APU GEN ON, APU BLEED OFF).

planning.
ETOPS FUEL REQUIREMENTS
Ident.: PRO-SPO-40-30-00012902.0001001 / 17 NOV 11
Applicable to: ALL
The operator must compare the entire ETOPS critical fuel planning for the ETOPS critical fuel
scenario with the standard fuel planning computed in accordance with the company fuel policy and
applicable operational requirements. The higher of the two fuel requirements must be considered as
the minimum required block fuel for the flight.
WEATHER MINIMA

DIVERSION DECISION MAKING
Ident.: PRO-SPO-40-40-00002048.0001001 / 21 MAR 17
Applicable to: ALL
The technical criteria governing a re-routing or diversion decision can be classified into four
categories, as follows :
‐ Loss of MNPS capability, before entering the MNPS area (as applicable).
‐ Weather minima at diversion airport(s) going below the company/crew en-route minima, before
reaching the ETOPS Entry Point, or diversion airport(s) becoming unsuitable for any reason.
‐ Failure cases requiring a diversion to the nearest airport (cases leading to a LAND ASAP message
on the ECAM and/or in the QRH).
‐ Failure cases resulting in increased fuel consumption, exceeding the available fuel reserves.
Comments and Recommendations
• Electrical generation
If one IDG fails, a diversion is required in case of :
‐ Blue hydraulic circuit low level, low pressure or overheat, or
‐ APU no start, or
‐ APU or APU generator inoperative, or
‐ Second IDG failure.
• Fuel system
Some failure cases may lead to fuel gravity feeding which implies flight at lower altitude or to some
fuel being unusable. The flight crew's evaluation of the actual situation and the fuel remaining may
lead to the decision that a diversion is required.
• Hydraulic system :
If low level, low pressure or overheat on blue hydraulic circuit, a diversion is required in case of :
‐ One IDG failure, or
‐ APU no start, or
‐ APU/APU GEN failure.
• APU :
If APU/APU GEN fails, a diversion is required in case of :
‐ Blue hydraulic circuit low level, low pressure or overheat, or
‐ One IDG failure.

DIVERSION PERFORMANCE DATA
Ident.: PRO-SPO-40-40-00002049.0001001 / 21 MAR 17
Applicable to: ALL
Chapter PER-OEI-GEN contains three single engine descent and cruise procedures:
1. The standard strategy,
2. The obstacle strategy,
3. Fixed speed strategies (ETOPS).
For ETOPS operations, any one of the above diversion strategies can be used provided that the
selected strategy and speed schedule are used in :
• Establishing the area of operation (maximum diversion distance),
• Calculating the diversion fuel requirements for the single-engine ETOPS fuel scenario,
• Demonstrating the applicable obstacle clearance requirements (net flight path and net ceiling).
During the diversion, the flight crew is expected to use the planned speed schedule.
However, based on the evaluation of the actual situation, the pilot in command has the authority to
deviate from this planned one-engine-inoperative speed.
GUIDELINES FOR DIVERSION PROCEDURE
Ident.: PRO-SPO-40-40-00002050.0001001 / 21 MAR 17
Applicable to: ALL
‐ Complete the related failure procedure,
‐ Inform ATC,
‐ Initiate the descent,
‐ Determine which en route alternate is the most suitable (per company procedure),
‐ Divert to the chosen en route alternate,
‐ Comply with the pre-planned diversion strategy and speed schedule, or adjust the speed
schedule, as dictated by the evaluation of the actual situation.
Note: For detailed guidelines and procedures for conducting the diversion (lateral and vertical
navigation), Refer to DSC-22_20-60-30 - How to Execute a Diversion.

ENGINE INTERMIX TYPE 1
Applicable to: ALL
Ident.: PRO-SPO-45-A-00002059.0001001 / 30 JUN 14
The following information provides the conditions and procedures necessary in order to temporarily
operate an A318/A319/A320/A321 aircraft when a CFM56–5B Single Annular Combustor (SAC)
engine is intermixed with a CFM56–5B Double Annular Combustor (DAC) engine.
This engine intermix configuration is indicated in the cockpit with the following placard: “CAUTION:
ENGINE INTERMIX TYPE 1” or "CAUTION: ENGINE INTERMIX".
Ident.: PRO-SPO-45-A-00002060.0001001 / 07 DEC 10
ENGINE PARAMETERS
Engine parameters differ significantly, when the engines are at idle:
EGT : Up to 250 °C higher on the DAC engine.
FUEL FLOW : Up to 25 % higher on the DAC engine.
N1 : Higher on the DAC engine.
N2 : Lower on ground on the DAC engine; higher in flight on the DAC engine.
Ident.: PRO-SPO-45-A-00002061.0001001 / 07 DEC 10
CROSSBLEED ENG START
The DAC engine has insufficient acceleration capability to sustain idle speed with a large bleed
offtake, when it operates with only 20 injectors. Therefore, it is necessary to preset a 30 % N1 on
the supplying engine before launching the start sequence.
Ident.: PRO-SPO-45-A-00004068.0001001 / 07 DEC 10
TAKEOFF PROCEDURE
‐ The PF must progressively adjust engine thrust in two steps:
• Step 1 : Idle to 50 % N1.
Brakes released, when the 50 % N1 is stabilized on both engines.
• Step 2 : Both engines N1 to takeoff thrust.
This procedure enables a significantly slower acceleration from ground idle to N1 = 50 % for the
double annular combustor.
‐ Other standard operating procedures apply for takeoff.
Ident.: PRO-SPO-45-A-00002062.0001001 / 07 DEC 10
ENGINE RESPONSE
In flight, when the aircraft is in clean configuration, the DAC engine may accelerate from idle more
slowly than the SAC engine. This is particularly evident, if the acceleration follows a deceleration.

The following information provides the necessary conditions and procedures in order to temporarily
operate an A318/A319/A320/A321 with engine intermix configuration between two different SAC
engines among CFM56–5Bx classic, the CFM56–5Bx/P, the CFM56-5Bx/3 and the CFM56-5Bx/P “TI
HPC kit”.
FADEC intermix configuration 5BM software (installed on CFM56-5B classic) with FADEC 5BR
software is indicated in the cockpit with the following placard: “CAUTION: ENGINE INTERMIX TYPE
2”.
Note: When FADEC Standard “5BR” or subsequent is installed on both engines, engine thrust
behavior is harmonized (transient thrust dissymmetry no longer exist). Therefore, a placard
is not necessary and is not displayed.
Ident.: PRO-SPO-45-B-00012732.0001001 / 07 DEC 10
ENGINE PARAMETERS
In the case of only one operative pack configuration (only one pack OFF):
‐ N1 : At idle up to 9 % higher on the CFM56-5B/3 TI engine, on ground or in flight in clean
configuration.
‐ N2 : At idle up to 11 % higher on the CFM56-5B/3 TI engine, on ground or in flight in clean
configuration.
Ident.: PRO-SPO-45-B-00012733.0001001 / 07 DEC 10
TAKEOFF PROCEDURE
In the case of only one operative pack configuration, due to the difference in N2 at idle between
engines, the following takeoff procedure is recommended:
‐ The PF progressively adjusts engine thrust in two steps:
• Step 1 : From idle to about 50 % N1 on brakes.
• Step 2 : From both engines at similar N1 to takeoff thrust after brakes release.
‐ Other standard operative procedures apply for takeoff.
Ident.: PRO-SPO-45-B-00012734.0007001 / 14 MAY 12
ENGINE RESPONSE
In the case of only one operative pack configuration, due to the difference in N2 at idle between
engines, the CFM56–5B/3 TI engine may accelerate from idle to high thrust faster than the
CFM56–5B/P SAC engine when the aircraft is on ground or in flight in clean configuration. There is
no significant effect on aircraft handling.

PROCEDURE
MANAGEMENT OF DEGRADED NAVIGATION
If one of the following messages is displayed, the flight crew should resume
navigation with the FMGC that provides the correct position:
‐ GPS PRIMARY LOST on one ND /MCDU
‐ NAV ACCUR DOWNGRAD on one ND /MCDU.
If one of the following MCDU or ECAM messages is displayed, the flight crew should
crosscheck the position data using the POSITION MONITOR page, the IRS 1(2)(3)
pages, and the GPS MONITOR page in order to identify which FMGC position is
correct:
‐ GPS PRIMARY LOST on both ND s/MCDUs
‐ FMS 1/FMS 2 POS DIFF
‐ CHECK IRS 1(2)(3)/FM POSITION
‐ CHECK A/C POSITION
‐ NAV FM /GPS POS DISAGREE
The flight crew should resume navigation with the FMGC that provides the correct position.
If NAV ACCUR DOWNGRAD is displayed on both sides:
‐ As per design FMS REQ ACCUR is set by default; this default value (e.g. 2 NM in cruise,
1 NM in terminal area) is more restrictive than overflown airspace required navigation
performance.
‐ Any change on FMS REQ ACCUR to be in accordance with airspace requirement is at
flight crew's discretion; and should be set back to default value when leaving intended
airspace.
If NAV ACCUR DOWNGRAD remains displayed, the flight crew should inform ATC that the
RNAV 4 capability is lost.

Applicable to: ALL
The Precision Runway Monitor (PRM) system enables simultaneous close parallel ILS approaches.
The air traffic controllers use the PRM system to monitor the aircraft position. If necessary, the ATC
orders a break out, turn and climb or descent.
To perform PRM operations:
‐ The air traffic controllers and the flight crew must satisfy specific training requirements
‐ The ATC and the aircraft equipment must comply with specific requirements.

The speed is managed. The speed target is the aircraft speed at SRS GA engagement.
The FMS GO-AROUND phase becomes active. Therefore, the FMS reinserts the approach.
L1 TURN LEFT(RIGHT) AND CLIMB
L2 As the situation is urgent, the flight crew should temporarily disregard the FD orders.
Then
L1 HDG___..................................................................................................................... TURN AND PULL
L2 The GA TRK mode disengages, and the HDG mode engages.
L1 ALT___.......................................................................................................................TURN AND PULL
L2 The SRS GA mode disengages, and the OP CLB mode engages. The speed target becomes the
FMS speed target of the CLIMB phase.
L1 SPEED...................................................................................................................PULL AND ADJUST
L2 For the initial break out procedure, adjust the speed (e.g. 160 kt), in order to avoid a significant
acceleration, and an increase in workload.
L1 When established on the break out path:
AP................................................................................................................................................ON
L2 Before engaging the AP , ensure that the FD bar orders correspond to the aircraft current path.

TAKEOFF IN GPS PRIMARY
For certain airports, where the difference between the local coordinate system and WGS 84
(geodesic standard used by GPS , FMS) is not negligible, a map shift may occur after takeoff.
The flight crew must deselect the GPS for takeoff from these airports, until a safe altitude is
reached.

‐ Produced by an approved supplier compliant with ED76/DO200A requirements, or
‐ Validated and approved by the Operator.
Note: RNAV (GNSS ) approaches lateral trajectories are geometrically based on waypoints
coordinates. Thus, validating waypoints coordinate ensure no coding error on the
approach and correct lateral trajectory. Observed lateral track degree of difference
between MCDU F-PLN page display and charts may come from inconsistency between
FMS MagVar and charted MagVar, which has no effect on lateral trajectory.

automatic landing in CAT I or better weather conditions is possible on CAT I ground installations or on CAT II/III ground
installations when ILS/MLS sensitive areas are not protected, if the following precautions are taken:
‐The airline checked that the ILS /MLS beam quality, and the effect of the terrain profile before the runway have no
adverse effect on AP /FD guidance. Particularly, the effect of terrain profile within 300 m before the runway threshold
must be evaluated
‐ The flight crew is aware that LOC or G/S beam fluctuations, independent of the aircraft system, may occur. The PF is
prepared to immediately disconnect the autopilot, and to take the appropriate action, should not satisfactory guidance
occur
‐ At least CAT2 capability is displayed on the FMA and the flight crew uses CAT II/III procedures
‐ Visual references are obtained at an altitude appropriate for the CAT I approach. If not, a go-around must be
performed.

If the wing fuel temperature exceeds 30 °C at engine start, the altitude must be limited to 35 000 ft
until the center tank is empty.
If the wing fuel temperature exceeds 40 °C at engine start, the altitude must be limited to 30 000 ft
until the center tank is empty.
If the wing fuel temperature exceeds 49 °C at engine start, the altitude must be limited to 25 000 ft
until the center tank is empty.
Reason : At high altitude with high fuel temperature, the pressure supplied by the center tank
pumps becomes lower than the pressure supplied by the wing tank pumps.

Aircraft navigation must not be based on the use of the terrain display .
The terrain display is intended to serve as a situation awareness tool only, and may not provide the
accuracy on which to solely base terrain avoidance maneuvering.
The predictive GPWS functions should be inhibited (TERR pushbutton to OFF, on the GPWS
panel) when the aircraft position is less than 15 NM from the airfield:
‐ For operations from/to runways not incorporated in the predictive GPWS database.
‐ For specific approach procedures, which were previously identified as potentially causing false
terrain alerts.
Only aircraft with Man-made Obstacle Function can display obstacles on ND and trigger alerts,
based on a dedicated database which includes artificial obstacles worldwide.

GENERAL DESCRIPTION
Applicable to: ALL
Ident.: OEB-GEN-A-00014181.0001001 / 23 NOV 11
An Operations Engineering Bulletin (OEB) is issued to rapidly inform operators of any deviations
from initial design objectives that have a significant operational impact. An OEB provides the
operators with technical information and temporary operational procedures that address these
deviations.
Ident.: OEB-GEN-A-00014182.0001001 / 23 NOV 11
TYPE OF OEB
OEBs can either be red or white, depending on their level of priority.
‐ RED OEBs are issued to indicate that non-compliance with the recommended procedures may
have a significant impact on the safe operation of the aircraft.
‐ WHITE OEBs are issued to indicate that non-compliance with the recommended procedures
may have a significant impact on aircraft operation.
Airbus strongly recommends that all Operators rapidly apply the OEB corrective actions as soon
as they become available, particularly for red OEBs.
Ident.: OEB-GEN-A-00014183.0001001 / 23 JUN 15
OEB CONTENT AND MANAGEMENT
An OEB:
‐ Is temporary and usually focuses on one operational subject only,
‐ Is included in the OEB section of both the FCOM and QRH . The procedural part of each white
or red OEB (OEB PROC ) is provided in the OEB section of the QRH, so that the flight crew can
easily access the procedures,
‐ Remains applicable until the appropriate corrective actions are completed.
Note: After installation of the OEB corrective modification/Service Bulletins (SB): if an
Operator reinstalls any spare equipment for which there was an associated OEB , it is
Operator’s responsibility to ensure that this OEB be applied again for the applicable
aircraft.
OEB IN THE FCOM
The content of each OEB includes:
‐ The reason for issue,
‐ Technical explanations of the deviation from the initial design objectives,
‐ The operational impact if the flight crew does not apply the OEB procedure,

‐ The conditions for applying the OEB procedures :
• ECAM warning/caution affected by the OEB,
• Cockpit effects,
• Flight phases,
• Specific event.
‐ The OEB operational procedure(s) to be applied,
‐ The corrective actions that cancel the OEB (if available),
‐ The OEB REMINDER codes, (if applicable).
OEB IN THE QRH
Each FCOM OEB has an associated “OEB PROC ” in the OEB section of the QRH, that
includes:
‐ The title of the OEB PROC,
‐ The “ECAM ENTRY" field:
This section identifies whether or not one of the possible conditions for applying the OEB
PROC is an ECAM warning/caution.
The flight crew must disregard the ECAM procedure and/or STATUS of the ECAM alerts
listed in the "ECAM ENTRY" field and must apply the QRH ’s OEB procedure instead.
‐ The OEB operational procedure(s) that the flight crew must apply.
FCOM LIST OF EFFECTIVE OEB
The List of Effective Operations Engineering Bulletins (LEOEB ) enables to review all the
Operations Engineering Bulletins (OEB s) that are applicable to the fleet. Each time an OEB is
issued or revised, the LEOEB is updated.

Note: OEB s are listed by type of OEB (RED OEB s first, then WHITE OEB s), and in
numerical order for each type of OEB . This enables the flight crew to easily review the
OEBs before flight.
The "E" field indicates whether or not the OEB affects ECAM procedure(s). This enables the
flight crew to easily review the OEB s before flight particularly for Operators that use the OEB
REMINDER function:
‐ The "Y" letter indicates that the OEB affects only ECAM procedure(s),
‐ The "N" letter indicates that at least one of the procedures provided in the OEB does not
affect ECAM procedure(s).
CAUTION When Airbus provides the Operator with the LEOEB , the information
“AFFECTS ECAM : Y” ("E" field) does not necessarily mean that (for Operators
using the OEB REMINDER function) the Operator’s maintenance personnel
has activated the OEB REMINDER codes for this OEB onboard the aircraft.
It is the Operator’s responsibility to define a suitable process for providing the
flight crew with confirmation that the OEB REMINDER codes are activated for
the ECAM alerts affected by OEBs.
The "Rev Date" field indicates the date at which the OEB content was issued/changed
The "Title" field provides the OEB title.

GENERAL DESCRIPTION (Cont'd)
QRH LIST OF EFFECTIVE OEB
The List of Effective Operations Engineering Bulletins (LEOEB ) enables to review all the
Operations Engineering Bulletins (OEB s) that are applicable to the fleet. Each time an OEB is
issued or revised, the LEOEB is updated.
The QRH LEOEB consists of:
The "Identification" field which identifies the OEB with its identification and issue number.
Note: The FCOM OEB and associated QRH OEB PROC have the same OEB number
in order to be consistent. However, the issue number of the QRH OEB PROC and
the FCOM OEB may be different, because a revision of an FCOM OEB does not
necessarily result in a revision of the corresponding QRH OEB PROC, that only
provides the procedure part.
Red OEB identification number and title are in bold font. White OEB identification number and
title are in regular font. This enables the flight crew to easily review the OEBs before flight.
Note: OEBs are listed in numerical order regardless of the type of OEB (red or white).
The "Title" field provides the OEB title and the "ECAM Entry " part of the OEB PROC. This
enable the flight crew to easily review the OEB s before flight particularly for Operators that use
the OEB REMINDER function.

CAUTION When Airbus provides the Operator with the LEOEB , the information
“ECAM Entry ” does not necessarily mean that (for Operators using the OEB
REMINDER function) the Operator’s maintenance personnel has activated the
OEB REMINDER codes for this OEB onboard the aircraft.
It is the Operator’s responsibility to define a suitable process for providing the
flight crew with confirmation that the OEB REMINDER codes are activated for
the ECAM alerts affected by OEBs.
A vertical bar in the margin of the QRH LEOEB identifies that the OEB is either new, revised or
has an aircraft validity change.
Ident.: OEB-GEN-A-00014184.0001001 / 23 NOV 11
REVIEW OF THE OEB
In accordance with the Standard Operating Procedures, and before each flight, the flight crew
must review all OEB s that are applicable to their aircraft. If the OEB conditions are applicable, the
flight crew must apply the operational procedure(s) that is in the QRH OEB section.
Ident.: OEB-GEN-A-00014185.0001001 / 23 NOV 11
DISTRIBUTION
OEB are distributed to all affected Operators. The Operators shall provide flight crews with the
content of the OEB without delay.
Ident.: OEB-GEN-A-00014186.0001001 / 23 JUN 15
OEB REMINDER FUNCTION
The OEB reminder function provides operational help to the flight crew by enabling them to clearly
identify on the ECAM all procedures and STATUS messages superseded by an OEB procedure.
When a situation causes an ECAM warning/caution to trigger, a message informs the flight
crew in real time that there is an OEB for the displayed ECAM warning/caution and/or STATUS,
and as a result, that the ECAM procedure and/or STATUS is changed. In this case, a specific
ECAM message informs the flight crew to refer to the QRH. For more information Refer to FCOM
DSC-31-OEB Reminder.
The OEB reminder function may not be activated for some OEB s. For example, when an OEB
procedure supersedes an ECAM procedure, under specific conditions only, the OEB reminder
function is not activated, in order to let the flight crew assess the need to apply the OEB procedure
or the ECAM procedure.
The OEB reminder function does not relieve the flight crew of their responsibility to review the
applicable OEBs during the cockpit preparation.

GENERAL DESCRIPTION (Cont'd)
OEB REMINDER CODE
The maintenance personnel must enter specific OEB REMINDER code(s) in the FWC OEB
database in order to update the ECAM.
These OEB REMINDER codes are provided in the FCOM OEB chapter only, and are sent to the
Operator’s Flight Operations department along with the associated QRH OEB PROC . This is to
ensure that the OEB database is not updated before the OEB procedure is available in the QRH
and FCOM onboard documentation.
Good coordination between the Airline’s/Operator’s Flight Operations department and the
Airline’s/Operator’s Engineering department must be established, in order to:
‐ Ensure that the QRH OEB section is updated onboard the aircraft before the activation of the
OEB REMINDER function for a specific OEB.
‐ Rapidly send information about the OEB REMINDER codes to the Engineering department for a
rapid update of the ECAM.
‐ Provide the flight crew with confirmation that the OEB REMINDER codes are activated onboard
the aircraft for the ECAM alerts affected by OEBs.
CAUTION As soon as the maintenance personnel has embodied the corrective action that
cancels the OEB on a specific aircraft, the Operator must ensure that:
1. Maintenance personnel has deactivated the OEB REMINDER function for
the specific OEB , before informing their Flight Operations department of the
installation of the OEB correction action.
2. The QRH OEB section onboard the aircraft is updated to remove the specific
OEB from the applicable aircraft.

OF A COMPANY ROUTE IN THE ALTERNATE FLIGHT PLAN
Ident.: OEB-41-00013610.0001001 / 15 OCT 15
Applicable to: ALL
EXPLANATION
When the flight crew modifies the CO RTE in the ALTN F-PLN , the FMS no longer computes the
ALTN fuel predictions (refer to the below illustration).
This CO RTE could be extracted from the Navigation database or stored by the flight crew.
The modification of the CO RTE by the flight crew could be for example an entry of a departure
or an arrival procedure.
The consequences of the CO RTE modification are:
‐ The fuel predictions are set to zero for the ALTN (solid circles) on FUEL PRED page (also on
INIT FUEL PRED if done on ground)
This condition is sufficient to apply the operational recommendations provided in the
"PROCEDURE" paragraph.
‐ The Estimated Fuel On Board (EFOB ) and the predicted UTC (solid circles) at ALTN
destination becomes equal to the EFOB and the UTC at the Primary Destination
‐ If the ALTN fuel and the MIN DEST FOB values on FUEL PRED page are both at their default
value (i.e. have not been modified by the crew), the MIN DEST FOB (solid circle) becomes
erroneous (equal to FINAL instead of FINAL+ ALTN ). Therefore, the MCDU scratchpad
message "DEST EFOB BELOW MIN", is no longer triggered on the expected threshold
‐ If the flight crew had entered a value for the ALTN fuel, the entry is correctly used (but no more
modifiable unless a new ALTN is entered)

‐ If the flight crew had manually entered the MIN DEST FOB value on FUEL PRED page (but
not the ALTN fuel value), then the message "CHECK MIN DEST FOB" is no longer triggered
at the correct threshold
However, the new ALTN F-PLN is correctly displayed on the F-PLN page, the Navigation Display
(ND ) and the INIT page correctly shows the ALTN identifier.
Note: The EFOB of the primary destination remains correctly computed (dashed circle).
The reason for the anomaly is that when the ALTN CO RTE is modified, the FMS erroneously
assumes there is no alternate F-PLN anymore for the fuel predictions. An additional modification
of the ALTN F-PLN enables to recover correct ALTN fuel predictions.
PROCEDURE
This procedure only applies when a CO RTE is used for ALTN F-PLN . In the case of ALTN fuel
predictions erroneously set to zero further to a modification of this ALTN F-PLN:
ENTER manually a waypoint in the en-route F-PLN (neither in the departure, nor in the arrival), to
start a new computation of ALTN fuel predictions
Maintain or delete the entered waypoint at convenience
Check the ALTN fuel predictions are correct
CORRECTIVE ACTION
Honeywell FMS standard H2C cancels this OEB (Refer to OEB-41 Erroneous Alternate Fuel
Predictions Upon Modification of a Company Route in the Alternate Flight Plan - Approval
"Cancelled by" section).

EXPLANATION
If a RA transmits an erroneous height indication, this may have any of the following effects on
the auto flight system depending on the flight phase. However, these effects may not necessarily
occur in every case of an erroneous RA height indication.
Auto Flight System mode changes (indicated on FMA):
‐ NAV mode engagement is not possible after takeoff,
‐ In case of go-around and if the RA is still frozen at a very low height indication:
• SRS and GA TRK modes engage,
• NAV, HDG or TRK lateral modes cannot be selected,
• LVR CLB will not be displayed on the FMA at THR RED ALT,
• ALT* and ALT will not engage at FCU altitude.
Disconnecting AP and resetting both FDs enable to recover basic mode (HDG and V/S).
PROCEDURE
During go-around
If SRS and GA TRK modes remain engaged and other guidance modes cannot be
selected or engaged as expected:
Note: ‐ At the thrust reduction altitude, LVR CLB will not be displayed on the FMA,
‐ ALT* and ALT will not engage at the FCU altitude.
Disconnect APs.
Set both FD s to OFF then ON. FDs revert to basic modes (HDG - V/S).
Re-engage guidance modes as appropriate.
For the approach that follows the go-around: Do not arm the G/S mode.
Flight crews must report, in the technical logbook, any of the above-listed consequences of
erroneous RA height.
CORRECTIVE ACTION
FG C14 or FG PC14 or FG I15 or FG PI13.

Applicable to: ALL
This chart allows the determination of Aircraft CG location (MAC) function of dry operating weight,
pantry adjustment, cargo loads, passengers and fuel on board.
The operational limits shown on the load and trim sheet are more restrictive than the certified limits
because error margins have been taken into account.
The load and trim sheet needs to be updated when :
‐ a modification which changes the aircraft certified limits is included or
‐ a modification (cabin layout, cargo arrangement ...) which influences the operational limits is
made.
It is the airline responsibility to define a load and trim sheet and to keep it up to date. Refer to
PER-LOD-WBA-LTS DESCRIPTION is a description of the Load and Trim Sheet utilization (Refer to
PER-LOD-WBA-LTS LOAD AND TRIM SHEET), for a typical passenger arrangement.
Refer to customized load and trim sheet for preparing a revenue flight.

Applicable to: ALL
a. Enter Master data in (1).
b. Compute Dry Operating Weight Index using the formula indicated in (2) and report in (3).
c. Dry Operating Index = 53.4.
d. Enter weight deviation or adjustment in (4) and read corresponding index variation in (5): +1.43.
e. Calculate corrected index and report in (6): 54.83.
f. Enter master data in table (7) and determine Zero Fuel Weight: 60 280 kg and Takeoff Weight:
73 280 kg.
g. Enter cargo weight and passenger number per compartment in (8).
h. Enter index scale (9) with corrected index and proceed through cargo and passenger scales (10).
i. From the final point draw a vertical line which intersects (12) the zero fuel weight horizontal line
(11).
j. Check if the intersection point is within the Zero Fuel Weight operational limits, if not rearrange
cargo loading.
k. Read in table (13) the fuel index correction corresponding to Ramp Fuel Weight (13 200 kg) and
Fuel Density (0.785 kg/l).
This example will be continued assuming the FUEL INDEX = –2 was found. Carry in fuel scale
(14).
l. From this point draw a vertical line which intersects (16) the takeoff weight horizontal line (15).
m. Check if the intersection point is within the Takeoff Weight operational limits.
n. Read zero fuel weight and CG position: 32.7 % and fill in table (17).
o. Read takeoff CG position: 30.5 % and fill in table (18).
CAUTION If there is no customized trim sheet for your airline in this section, do not use the
information enclosed herein for day to day operation as margins and load CG vary
with cabin and cargo layout.
Note: When referring to CG lower than 27 %, an operational margin is taken into account. It is the
reason why performance at forward CG (lower than 25 %) must be used for operational CG
lower than 27 %.

Applicable to: ALL
The fuel index table has been established assuming a fuel distribution in accordance with refuel
distribution given in sectionRefer to DSC-28-10-70 Refueling - Defueling of this volume.
If after refueling the actual distribution deviates from the chart values, the actual and the trim sheet
CG will show a discrepancy. The following tables allow to determine the fuel index taking into
account the actual fuel quantity in each tank. To determine the actual takeoff CG enter the tables
with the actual fuel quantities in each tank, read the fuel index for each tank and use their sum to
enter the trim sheet. Check that the actual CG is inside the operational limits. If the CG is outside the
limits transfer fuel to achieve a distribution in accordance with the chart or rearrange the load.
Note: These tables are valid only when used with the following formula for the index:
I = W × (H-arm – 18.85)/1 000 + K or I = [(CG – 25) × W × 0.000042] + K
(Weight in kg, H-arm in m)
DATA : Fuel in left inner fuel tank = 4 500 kg
Fuel in right inner fuel tank = 4 500 kg

It is a reduced takeoff thrust as compared to the maximum permissible. The related N1 is calculated
as a function of the flexible temperature entered in the FMGS MCDU. The flexible temperature is a
function of the aircraft weight and environmental conditions.
It guarantees that the regular performance requirements are met.

It is the maximum thrust approved for normal cruise.
There is no thrust lever position corresponding to this thrust rating.
It is not displayed to the pilot, and the N1 limit which is displayed in cruise is the maximum climb N1.
The FMGS uses the maximum cruise N1 to compute the aircraft maximum speed.
In manual thrust setting, in cruise, the pilot should limit N1 to the maximum cruise N1 that is equal to
the displayed maximum climb N1 minus 1.9 %.

DEFINITION OF FLEXIBLE TAKEOFF
Ident.: PER-TOF-THR-FLX-10-00001718.0001001 / 28 JAN 11
Applicable to: ALL
In many cases the aircraft takes off with a weight lower than the maximum permissible takeoff
weight. When this happens, it can meet the required performance (runway, second segment,
obstacle,...) with a decreased thrust that is adapted to the weight : this is called FLEXIBLE TAKEOFF
and the thrust is called FLEXIBLE TAKEOFF THRUST.
The use of flexible takeoff thrust saves engine life.

Applicable to: ALL
The pilot can use flexible takeoff when the actual takeoff weight is lower than the maximum
permissible takeoff weight for the actual temperature. The maximum permissible takeoff weight
decreases when temperature increases, so it is possible to assume a temperature at which
the actual takeoff weight would be the limiting one. This temperature is called FLEXIBLE
TEMPERATURE or assumed temperature and is entered in the FADEC via the MCDU PERF TO
page in order to get the adapted thrust.

Applicable to: ALL
‐ Thrust must not be reduced by more than 40 % of the full rated takeoff thrust.
‐ The flexible takeoff N1 cannot be lower than the Max climb N1 at the same flight conditions.
The FADEC takes the above two constraints into account to determine flexible N1.
The above two constraints also limit the maximum flexible temperature at ISA + 70 (85 °C at sea
level).
‐ The flexible temperature cannot be lower than the flat rating temperature, TREF (ISA +29 up to
2 000 ft) (See Note) , or the actual temperature (OAT).
Note: TREF being a function of pressure altitude, read it on the takeoff chart.
‐ Flexible takeoff is not permitted on contaminated runways.
‐ The operator should check the maximum thrust (TOGA) at regular intervals in order to detect any
engine deterioration, or maintain an adequate engine performance monitoring program to follow up
the engine parameters.

RECOMMENDATION
GENERAL
Ident.: PER-TOF-THR-FLX-40-00001720.0002001 / 15 DEC 15
Applicable to: ALL
• In order to extend engine life and save maintenance costs, it is recommended to use flexible thrust
reduction.
• However, to improve the takeoff performance, the thrust can be increased by selecting a lower
flexible temperature.
Using the same takeoff chart, for a given weight it is possible to :
‐ Select a temperature lower than the maximum determined one and keep the speeds defined at
maximum temperature or,
‐ Move towards the left side (tailwind) of the takeoff chart while remaining within the same
configuration and looking for the same actual takeoff weight at lower temperature.
This produces a lower flexible temperature and, in general, lower takeoff speeds (V1 /VR /V2).
Using one of the two above possibilities, check that the selected temperature is greater than the
actual temperature ( OAT ) and greater than the flat rating temperature (TREF ).

Takeoff charts are required to provide performance at takeoff. It is possible to present the charts in
two different ways, one of which is selected by the airline. The different presentations are :
‐ temperature entry (temperature provided in the left column)
‐ weight entry (weight provided in the left column).
Both presentations are described here after. Sections PER-TOF-TOC-10, 12 and 14 are relative to
temperature entry while PER-TOF-TOC-16, 18 and 20 are relative to weight entry.

Applicable to: ALL
Takeoff optimization is calculated for a given runway and its obstacles and for given conditions of
flap setting, temperature, wind and QNH. The calculation produces a maximum permissible takeoff
weight (or a maximum takeoff temperature for an actual weight).
The takeoff thrust produced by the engine varies as follows :
The optimization process calculates the speeds which will produce the maximum takeoff weight.
To do so, it takes into account the different takeoff limitations such as TOD , ASD , TOR, second
segment..., as shown on the figure charts below.
On a typical runway, the performance of a twin engine aircraft, is generally limited by the one engine
out operation at takeoff. The optimum V2 /VS and optimum V1 /VR are consequently unique.

Applicable to: ALL
The takeoff chart (RTOW : Regulatory Takeoff Weight) is calculated for a specific aircraft version
and for a particular runway specified at the top of the chart. The top of the chart also gives some
information about the runway and lists the calculation assumptions.
The chart is given for 2 different configurations and 5 wind values per configuration. This allows the
crew to select the configuration that gives either :
‐ the highest permissible takeoff weight, or, for a given weight,
‐ the highest flexible temperature.
If different configurations give equivalent performance, the crew should select the configuration
associated with the lowest takeoff speeds.
For each temperature value (and for a given configuration and wind), the chart provides the following
information :
The available limitation codes are :
‐ First segment : 1
‐ Second segment : 2
‐ Runway length : 3
‐ Obstacles : 4
‐ Tire speed : 5
‐ Brake energy : 6
‐ Maximum computation weight : 7

Applicable to: ALL
Each takeoff chart is computed for a given set of conditions (air conditioning, QNH, anti ice...)
specified at the top of the chart. If the actual takeoff conditions are different, the crew must apply
corrections. Two types of correction are available :
‐ Conservative corrections on Refer to PER-TOF-TOD-24 EFFECT OF QNH AND BLEEDS (to be
used when not provided on the chart).
‐ Corrections (less restrictive) listed on the chart, to be applied as explained below.
Note: ‐ If the RTOW chart is based on the CG being at 25 %, the crew can find the takeoff
performance at a more forward CG by decreasing the takeoff weight by 1 000 kg
(2 200 lb) and increasing V1 , VR and V2 by 1 kt.
‐ 25 % CG is the basic certified limit, on which all takeoff computations are based. To
take into account the operational margins, the above penalties must be applied when
operational CG is forward 27 % CG.
DESCRIPTION OF THE CORRECTIONS ON TAKEOFF CHART
Ident.: PER-TOF-TOC-10-20-00005368.0001001 / 08 JUL 15

The corrections are presented on 4 lines:
TVMC is a temperature value given per column. This is a fictitious value that indicates the

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
ONE ENGINE OUT CLIMB PROCEDURE
Ident.: PER-TOF-TOC-10-30-00001708.0001001 / 23 FEB 11
Applicable to: ALL
The performance given in the chart is consistent with the flight path specified for the aircraft with one
engine out and takes into account significant obstacles.
When the procedure to be followed is not the standard instrument departure, the chart describes a
specific procedure (EOSID).
When the specified procedure requires a turn, except if otherwise stated on the RTOW chart, the turn
should be performed with a maximum bank of 15 ° until the aircraft reaches 1 500 ft or until green
dot.
The acceleration height (or altitude) ensures that the net flight path clears the highest obstacle by
at least 35 ft when accelerating in level flight to green dot speed after an engine failure, in the most
adverse conditions.
TAKEOFF ON A WET RUNWAY
Ident.: PER-TOF-TOC-10-30-00001709.0002001 / 23 FEB 11
Applicable to: ALL
Takeoff charts computed for wet runway with a 15 ft screen height and/or use of reverse thrust may
produce, in some conditions, a maximum takeoff weight (or flexible temperature) higher than that
obtained for a dry runway. It is thus mandatory to compare both charts (dry and wet) and retain the
lower of the two weights (or flexible temperature) and the associated speeds determined for a wet
runway.
Note: The crew need not compare the charts if the top of the wet runway chart specifies “DRY
CHECK”. (The comparison has already been inserted in the WET runway calculation).

DETERMINATION OF MAXIMUM TAKEOFF WEIGHT AND SPEEDS
DIRECT CHART READING
Ident.: PER-TOF-TOC-12-10-00001712.0002001 / 23 FEB 11
Applicable to: ALL
The takeoff chart is computed for a given runway under a set of conditions, which are:
‐ OAT
‐ Wind
‐ Configuration
‐ QNH, air conditioning, anti ice...
Two configurations are produced on the chart. This enables the crew to select that giving the highest
permissible takeoff weight. In case of equivalent performance, retain the configuration giving the
lower takeoff speeds.
For a given configuration, enter the chart with the OAT and wind value to determine the maximum
permissible weight. For an OAT or wind value not presented on the chart, interpolate between two
consecutive temperature rows and/or two consecutive wind columns. Conservative OAT or wind
values can also be considered. No extrapolation is allowed.

CORRECTIONS ON TAKEOFF CHART. The list of corrections is not exhaustive, however the most
commonly used corrections are wet runway, QNH, air conditioning and/or anti ice. A maximum of
three corrections can be produced on one chart.
To apply the corrections, proceed as follows:
1. Enter the chart with given OAT and wind to determine the maximum takeoff weight before
correction.
2. Apply the first correction:
If OAT is less than or equal to TVMC (line 3), apply ΔW correction from line 1 and ΔV1 /ΔVR /ΔV2
corrections from line 2.
Else, (for OAT greater than TVMC ), apply ΔW correction from line 3 and ΔV1 /ΔVR /ΔV2
corrections from line 4.
3. To combine a second (and third, as applicable) correction:
If OAT is less than or equal to TVMC (line 3), apply ΔW correction from line 1 and ΔV1 /VR /ΔV2
corrections from line 2.
Check that the resulting speeds are higher than the minimum speeds displayed on the RTOW
chart and that V2 is higher than the VMU limited speed (Refer to PER-TOF-TOD-25-20 MINIMUM
V2 LIMITED BY VMU/VMCA (KT IAS)).
If OAT is higher than TVMC (line 3) or if the above speed check is not fulfilled, apply ΔW correction
from line 3 and ΔV1 /ΔVR /ΔV2 corrections from line 4. No speed check is required.
Note: ‐ QNH correction is given for ±10 hPa . It is allowed to extrapolate linearly for greater QNH
deviation.
‐ When using a takeoff chart with failure cases, it is not allowed to combine two failure
cases.
‐ Corrections from the chart must be applied from top to bottom, i.e. in the RTOW on Refer
to PER-TOF-TOC-10-30 EXAMPLE OF TAKEOFF CHART, apply the wet correction first.
‐ If asterisk or dotted lines appear in the correction boxes, refer to more conservative
corrections provided in the FCOM.
‐ No speed check is required for the first correction. However, if the first influence
correction follows a conservative FCOM correction, a speed check is required.

DETERMINATION OF FLEXIBLE TAKEOFF TEMPERATURE AND SPEEDS
GENERAL
Ident.: PER-TOF-TOC-14-10-00001722.0002001 / 17 MAR 11
Applicable to: ALL
Before determining the flexible temperature, calculate the maximum permissible takeoff weight (see
previous section) and ensure that the actual takeoff weight is lower than the determined maximum
takeoff weight.
• Enter the RTOW chart with the wind condition to interpolate for the actual takeoff weight. Read the
flexible temperature in the temperature column corresponding to the actual weight.
• Repeat this process for the other configuration available. Select the configuration giving the
highest flexible temperature.
CORRECTIONS DUE TO DIFFERENT TAKEOFF CONDITIONS
Ident.: PER-TOF-TOC-14-10-00001723.0001001 / 03 MAR 14
Applicable to: ALL
When the takeoff conditions are different from those provided on the chart, apply the associated
corrections.
Note: ‐ If the RTOW chart is based on the CG being at 25 %, the crew can determine the flexible
temperature at a more forward CG by decreasing the flexible temperature by 2 °C. V1 ,
VR and V2 must be increased by 1 kt.
‐ 25 % CG is the basic certified limit, on which all takeoff computations are based. To
take into account the operational margins, the above penalties must be applied when
operational CG is forward 27 % CG.

Applicable to: ALL
The following data and graphs are for example only, and are not for operational use. Even if the data
in the following example is in “kg” and “m”, the same method can be applied for “lb” and “ft”.
For a description of this correction Refer to PER-TOF-TOC-10-20 DESCRIPTION OF THE
CORRECTIONS ON TAKEOFF CHART. The list of corrections is not exhaustive, however the most
commonly used corrections are wet runway, QNH, air conditioning and/or anti-icing. A maximum of
three corrections can be produced on one chart.
To apply the correction, proceed as follows:
1. Enter the chart with wind and selected configuration. Interpolate for actual takeoff weight. Read
flexible temperature associated with this weight.
2. Apply the first correction:
Apply ΔTflex correction and apply speed corrections (ΔV1 / ΔVR / ΔV2).
Check that the resulting V2 is higher than the VMU Limited speed (Refer to PER-TOF-TOD-25-20
MINIMUM V2 LIMITED BY VMU/VMCA (KT IAS)). If the speed checks are not fulfilled, flexible
takeoff is not possible. Set TOGA thrust and retain the speeds associated with maximum
permissible takeoff weight or the speeds read in the chart of the actual weight if they are all lower.
No speed correction is required for QNH and bleeds influence (Not applicable to maximum takeoff
weight determination).
3. To combine a second and/or a third correction, proceed as per point 2, except that also the
resulting speeds must be checked higher than the minimum speed displayed on the RTOW chart.
4. Check that the final flexible temperature is:
‐ higher than OAT and TREF
‐ limited to TMAXFLEX
If the check is fulfilled, retain final flexible temperature as the one to be inserted in the MCDU.
If the check is not fulfilled, (final flexible temperature lower than OAT or TREF), no flexible
takeoff is possible.
Use TOGA thrust and retain speeds that have been calculated for the maximum permissible
takeoff weight. (Refer to PER-TOF-TOC-14-20 FLEXIBLE TAKEOFF NOT POSSIBLE)
Note: ‐ QNH correction is given for ±10 hPa. It is allowed to extrapolate linearly for greater QNH
deviation.
‐ Corrections from the chart must be applied from top to bottom, i.e. in the RTOW on Refer
to PER-TOF-TOC-10-30 EXAMPLE OF TAKEOFF CHART, apply the wet influence first.
Note: ‐ If asterisk or dotted lines appear in the influence boxes, refer to more conservative

Applicable to: ALL
Takeoff optimization is calculated for a given runway and its obstacles and for given conditions of
flap setting, temperature, wind and QNH. The calculation produces a maximum permissible takeoff
weight (or a maximum takeoff temperature for an actual weight).
The takeoff thrust produced by the engine varies as follows :
The optimization process calculates the speeds which will produce the maximum takeoff weight.
To do so, it takes into account the different takeoff limitations such as TOD , ASD , TOR, second
segment..., as shown on the charts below.
On a typical runway, the performance of a twin engine aircraft, is generally limited by the one engine
out operation at takeoff. The optimum V2 /VS and optimum V1 /VR are consequently unique.

GENERAL
Ident.: PER-TOF-TOC-16-20-00001728.0003001 / 28 FEB 11
Applicable to: ALL
The takeoff chart (RTOW : Regulatory Takeoff Weight) is calculated for a specific aircraft version
and for a particular runway specified at the top of the chart. The top of the chart also gives some
information about the runway and lists the calculation assumptions.
The chart is given for 2 different configurations and 4 wind values per configuration. This allows the
crew to select the configuration that gives either :
‐ the highest permissible takeoff weight, or, for a given weight,
‐ the highest flexible temperature.
If different configurations give equivalent performance, the crew should select the configuration
associated with the lowest takeoff speeds.
The left column of the chart contains weight entry. For each weight entry (and for a given
configuration and wind), the chart provides the following information :
Note: The takeoff weight is the sum of the weight entry and the delta weight.
The available limitation codes are :
‐ First segment : 1
‐ Second segment : 2
‐ Runway length : 3
‐ Obstacles : 4
‐ Tire speed : 5
‐ Brake energy : 6
‐ Maximum computation weight : 7
‐ Final takeoff : 8
‐ VMU : 9

CORRECTIONS DUE TO DIFFERENT TAKEOFF CONDITIONS

Applicable to: ALL
Each takeoff chart is computed for a given set of conditions (air conditioning, QNH, anti ice...)
specified at the top of the chart. If the actual takeoff conditions are different, the crew must apply
corrections.
Two types of corrections are available :
‐ Conservative corrections (Refer to PER-TOF-TOD-24 EFFECT OF QNH AND BLEEDS) (to be
used when not provided on the chart).
‐ Corrections (less restrictive) listed on the chart, to be applied as explained below.
Note: 1. If the RTOW chart is based on the CG being at 25 %, the crew can find the takeoff
performance at a more forward CG by decreasing the takeoff weight by 1 000 kg
(2 200 lb) and increasing V1 , VR and V2 by 1 kt.
2. 25 % CG is the basic certified limit, on which all takeoff computations are based.
To take into account the operational margins, the above penalties must be applied when
operational CG is forward 27 % CG.
DESCRIPTION OF THE CORRECTIONS ON TAKEOFF CHART
Ident.: PER-TOF-TOC-16-20-00006633.0001001 / 08 JUL 15
Applicable to: ALL
The corrections are presented on 4 lines :
TVMC is a temperature value given per column. This is a fictitious value that indicates the
temperature above which the speeds are close to a VMCG /VMCA limitation or are VMCG /VMCA
limited.
Note: The lower two lines may be shaded on certain chart formats.

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
ONE ENGINE OUT CLIMB PROCEDURE
Ident.: PER-TOF-TOC-16-30-00001730.0001001 / 10 DEC 09
Applicable to: ALL
The performance given in the chart is consistent with the flight path specified for the aircraft with one
engine out and takes into account significant obstacles.
When the procedure to be followed is not the standard instrument departure, the chart describes a
specific procedure (EOSID).
When the specified procedure requires a turn, except if otherwise stated on the RTOW chart, the turn
should be performed with a maximum bank of 15 ° until the aircraft reaches 1 500 ft or until green
dot.
The acceleration height (or altitude) ensures that the net flight path clears the highest obstacle by
at least 35 ft when accelerating in level flight to green dot speed after an engine failure, in the most
adverse conditions.
TAKEOFF ON A WET RUNWAY
Ident.: PER-TOF-TOC-16-30-00001731.0002001 / 10 DEC 09
Applicable to: ALL
Takeoff charts computed for wet runway with a 15 ft screen height and/or use of reverse thrust may
produce, in some conditions, a maximum takeoff weight (or flexible temperature) higher than that
obtained for a dry runway. It is thus mandatory to compare both charts (dry and wet) and retain the
lower of the two weights (or flexible temperature) and the associated speeds determined for a wet
runway.
Note: The crew need not compare the charts if the top of the wet runway chart specifies “DRY
CHECK”. (The comparison has already been inserted in the WET runway calculation).

Applicable to: ALL
Enter the chart with the given configuration and actual wind column reading the temperature value.
This temperature value stands for the OAT . Read the maximum takeoff weight corresponding to
the actual OAT. Note that it is allowed to interpolate between two consecutive lines to obtain the
maximum takeoff weight.
It is reminded that the takeoff weight is the sum of the weight entry and the delta weight. Similarly
determine the takeoff speeds associated with the maximum takeoff weight.
In some cases, it may happen that the first temperature value (displayed for the highest weight entry)
is higher than OAT. In this case, it is allowed to extrapolate the weight value to avoid unnecessary
penalty. Use the Grad 1/Grad 2 gradients provided at the bottom of the corresponding column.
CORRECTION TO WEIGHT
Grad 1/Grad 2 are gradients provided for both sides of the flat rating temperature (TREF).
Grad 1 applies to temperatures below TREF and Grad 2 applies above TREF.
Read the lowest temperature of the column (corresponding to the highest weight entry).
If the lowest temperature and OAT are above TREF.
Obtain weight increment by multiplying Grad 2 by the difference in temperature between OAT
and lowest temperature. Add this weight increment to the maximum takeoff weight calculated
for the lowest temperature.
If the lowest temperature and OAT are below TREF.
Obtain weight increment by multiplying Grad 1 by the difference in temperature between OAT
and lowest temperature. Add this weight increment to the maximum takeoff weight calculated
for the lowest temperature.
If OAT is below TREF and lowest temperature is above TREF.
The weight increment is calculated in two steps. Step one is multiplying Grad 2 by temperature
difference between lowest temperature and TREF. Step two is multiplying Grad 1 by
temperature difference between TREF and OAT. Add results from step one and two to
maximum takeoff weight calculated for lowest temperature.

CORRECTIONS PRODUCED ON THE RTOW CHART
Ident.: PER-TOF-TOC-18-10-00014721.0001001 / 29 JUL 16
Applicable to: ALL
The following data and graphs are for example only, and are not for operational use. Even if the data
in the following example is in “kg” and “m”, the same method can be applied for “lb” and “ft”.
(Refer to PER-TOF-TOC-16-30 RTOW EXAMPLE).
A description of this correction is given in PER-TOF-TOC-16-20 (Refer to PER-TOF-TOC-16-20
DESCRIPTION OF THE CORRECTIONS ON TAKEOFF CHART). The list of corrections is not
exhaustive, however the most commonly used corrections are wet runway, QNH, air conditioning
and/or anti ice. A maximum of three corrections can be produced on one chart.
To apply the corrections, proceed as follows:
1. Determine the maximum takeoff weight before correction for the given OAT and wind condition.
2. Apply the first correction:
If OAT is less than or equal to TVMC (line 3), apply ΔW correction from line 1 and ΔV1 /ΔVR /ΔV2
corrections from line 2.
Else, (for OAT greater than TVMC ), apply ΔW correction from line 3 and ΔV1 /ΔVR /ΔV2
corrections from line 4.
3. To combine a second (and third, as applicable) correction:
If OAT is less than or equal to TVMC (line 3), apply ΔW correction from line 1 and ΔV1 /ΔVR /ΔV2
corrections from line 2.
Check that the resulting speeds are higher than the minimum speeds displayed on the RTOW
chart and that V2 is higher than the VMU limited speed (Refer to PER-TOF-TOD-25-20 MINIMUM
V2 LIMITED BY VMU/VMCA (KT IAS)).
If OAT is higher than TVMC (line 3) or if the above speed check is not fulfilled, apply ΔW correction
from line 3 and ΔV1 /ΔVR /ΔV2 corrections from line 4. No speed check is required.
Note: ‐ QNH correction is given for ±10 hPa. It is allowed to extrapolate linearly for greater QNH
deviation.
‐ When using a takeoff chart with failure cases, it is not allowed to combine two failure
cases.
‐ Corrections from the chart must be applied from top to bottom, i.e. in the RTOW (Refer to
PER-TOF-TOC-16-30 RTOW EXAMPLE), apply the wet correction first.
‐ If asterisk or dotted lines appear in the correction boxes, refer to more conservative
corrections provided in the FCOM.
‐ No speed check is required for the first correction. However, if the first influence
correction follows a conservative FCOM correction, a speed check is required.

Applicable to: ALL
The following data and graphs are for example only, and are not for operational use. Even if the data
in the following example is in “kg” and “m”, the same method can be applied for “lb” and “ft”.
Proceed as follows:
1. Determine the maximum takeoff weight by entering the chart with selected configuration, OAT and
wind.
2. Apply corrections from FCOM to determine an intermediate weight. Interpolate associated speeds
for intermediate weight in the same column (same wind and configuration).
3. Apply corrections from RTOW chart as explained above.

DETERMINATION OF FLEXIBLE TAKEOFF TEMPERATURE AND SPEEDS
GENERAL
Ident.: PER-TOF-TOC-20-10-00013509.0002001 / 23 FEB 11
Applicable to: ALL
Before determining the flexible temperature, calculate the maximum permissible takeoff weight (see
previous section) and ensure that the actual takeoff weight is lower than the determined maximum
takeoff weight.
‐ For a given configuration and wind value, enter the RTOW chart with the actual takeoff weight
to read the flexible temperature and associated speeds. It is reminded that the takeoff weight is
the sum of the weight entry and the delta weight displayed in each box. It is allowed to interpolate
between two consecutive rows and/or columns for weight and for wind values not displayed on the
chart.
‐ Repeat this process for the other configuration available. Select that configuration giving the
highest flexible temperature.
CORRECTIONS DUE TO DIFFERENT TAKEOFF CONDITIONS
Ident.: PER-TOF-TOC-20-10-00013506.0001001 / 12 MAY 16
Applicable to: ALL
When the takeoff conditions are different from those provided on the chart, apply the associated
corrections.
Note: ‐ If the RTOW chart is based on the CG being at 25 %, the crew can determine the flexible
temperature at a more forward CG by decreasing the flexible temperature by 2 °C. V1 ,
VR and V2 must be increased by 1 kt.
‐ 25 % CG is the basic certified limit, on which all takeoff computation are based. To
take into account the operational margins, the above penalties must be applied when
operational CG is forward 27 %CG.

CORRECTIONS PRODUCED ON THE RTOW CHART
Ident.: PER-TOF-TOC-20-10-00014724.0001001 / 29 JUL 16
Applicable to: ALL
The following data and graphs are for example only, and are not for operational use. Even if the data
in the following example is in “kg” and “m”, the same method can be applied for “lb” and “ft”.
A description of this correction is given on Refer to PER-TOF-TOC-16-20 CORRECTIONS DUE TO
DIFFERENT TAKEOFF CONDITIONS. The list of corrections is not exhaustive, however the most
commonly used corrections are wet runway, QNH, air conditioning and/or anti-icing. A maximum of
three corrections can be produced on one chart.
To apply the correction, proceed as follows:
1. Enter the chart with selected configuration, wind and actual takeoff weight to read the flexible
temperature associated with this weight.
2. Apply the first correction:
If the flexible temperature is less than or equal to TVMC (line 3), apply ΔTflex correction from line 1
and apply speed corrections (ΔV1 /ΔVR /ΔV2) from line 2.
Else, (flexible temperature greater than TVMC ), apply ΔTflex from line 3 and ΔV1 / ΔVR / ΔV2
corrections from line 4.
Check V2 against VMU limitation (Refer to PER-TOF-TOD-25-20 MINIMUM V2 LIMITED BY
VMU/VMCA (KT IAS)). If V2 is lower than V2 limited by VMU , flexible takeoff is not possible. Set
TOGA thrust and retain the speeds associated with maximum permissible takeoff weight or the
speeds read in the chart for the actual weight if they are all lower.
No speed correction is required for QNH and bleeds influence (Not applicable to maximum takeoff
weight determination).
3. To combine a second and/or a third correction, proceed as per point 2.
4. Check that the final flexible temperature is:
‐ Higher than OAT and TREF
‐ Limited to TMAX FLEX
If the check is fulfilled, retain final flexible temperature as the one to be inserted in the MCDU
If the check is not fulfilled, (final flexible temperature lower than OAT or TREF), no flexible
takeoff is possible.
Use TOGA thrust and retain speeds that have been calculated for the maximum permissible
takeoff weight. (Refer to PER-TOF-TOC-20-20 FLEXIBLE TAKEOFF NOT POSSIBLE)
Note: ‐ QNH correction is given for ± 10 hPa . It is allowed to extrapolate linearly for greater
QNH deviation.
‐ Corrections from the chart must be applied from the top to bottom, i.e in the RTOW on
Refer to PER-TOF-TOC-16-30 RTOW EXAMPLE, apply the wet influence first
Note: ‐ When the flexible temperature is higher than TVMC , it is allowed to limit the flexible
temperature to TVMC and apply only corrections from lines 1 and 2.

Applicable to: ALL
The following data and graphs are for example only, and are not for operational use. Even if the data
in the following example is in “kg” and “m”, the same method can be applied for “lb” and “ft”.
1. Apply corrections from FCOM (Refer to PER-TOF-TOD-24 EFFECT OF QNH AND BLEEDS).
2. Apply corrections from the RTOW chart.
Apply speed corrections except for QNH and bleed influences.
EXAMPLE F
DATA : Actual takeoff weight = 68 000 kg
CONF 1+F
Head wind = 10 kt
Air conditioning ON
QNH = 998 hPa
WET runway
In this example, we will consider CONF 1+F as takeoff configuration. But same computation has to
be done in CONF 2 and you must retain the best configuration.
Use the chart (Refer to PER-TOF-TOC-16-30 RTOW EXAMPLE).
Determine the maximum permissible takeoff weight (see example C). The actual weight being
lower than the maximum one, flexible takeoff is possible.

Applicable to: ALL
DAMP : A runway is damp when the surface is not dry, but when the water on it
does not give it a shiny appearance.
WET : A runway is considered as wet when the surface has a shiny
appearance due to a thin layer of water. When this layer does not
exceed 3 mm depth, there is no substantial risk of hydroplaning.
STANDING WATER : is caused by heavy rainfall and /or insufficient runway drainage with a
depth of more than 3 mm.
SLUSH : is water saturated with snow which spatters when stepping firmly on
it. It is encountered at temperatures around 5 °C and its density is
approximately 0.85 kg/l (7.1 lb/US Gal).
WET SNOW : is a condition where, if compacted by hand, snow will stick together
and tend to form a snowball. Its density is approximately 0.4 kg/l
(3.35 lb/US Gal).
DRY SNOW : is a condition where snow can be blown if loose, or if compacted by
hand, will fall apart again upon release. Its density is approximately
0.2 kg/l (1.7 lb/US Gal).
COMPACTED SNOW : is a condition where snow has been compressed.
ICY : is a condition where the friction coefficient is 0.05 or below.

Performance penalties for takeoff as published in this section are computed with the
following assumptions :
‐ The contaminant is in a layer of uniform depth and density over the entire length of the runway.
‐ Antiskid and spoilers are operative.
‐ The friction coefficient is based on studies and checked by actual tests.
‐ The screen height at the end of takeoff segment is 15 ft, not 35 ft.
In addition, for contaminated runways only :
‐ There is drag due to rolling resistance of the wheels.
‐ There is drag due to spray on the airframe and gears.
‐ Reverse thrust is used for the deceleration phase.
‐ Maximum thrust is used for takeoff.
Note: The net flight path clears obstacles by 15 ft instead of 35 ft.

CAUTION The method is based on the use of the RTOW charts established at optimum V2 /VS
and optimum V1 /VR . In addition, when applying corrections for a wet runway, the
RTOW charts should also have been established with V1 min (minimum V1 of the
V1 range). The method should not be used with takeoff charts computed for other
conditions. All tables have been established for TOGA (and Flexible Takeoff for wet
runways). Do not use them for Derated thrust.
Correct the determined maximum takeoff weight on dry runway to take into account QNH and bleed
effects, then apply the corrections given on the following pages.
Note: 1. The results obtained with this method may be different from the influence given at the
bottom of the RTOW chart.
2. On contaminated runway, in some cases, no MTOW can be determined with this method
(box dashed below a given weight). A specific RTOW chart must then be computed.
3. The published corrections are valid for charts calculated with forward CG and basic CG.

HOW TO PROCEED
Ident.: PER-TOF-CTA-40-20-00012966.0004001 / 24 MAR 11
Applicable to: ALL
1. Determine the maximum takeoff weight or flexible temperature and associated speeds on dry
runway.
2. Two sets of tables are given depending on the use of thrust reversers and the presence of
clearway. Select the table to use as applicable to your case.
The runway length in the table corresponds to the available takeoff run (TORA).
3. Apply the corrections shown in the table to the maximum takeoff weight or flexible temperature
and associated speeds determined on dry runway.
4. Check that takeoff speeds are greater than the minimum values shown on the RTOW chart.
If one or more speeds are lower than these minimum values, apply the following procedure :
‐ Actual TOW = maximum TOW
• If V1 is lower than the minimum V1 (V1 limited by VMCG ), take this last value as V1 and
further decrease weight by 3 000 kg (6 600 lb ) per knot difference between them. Check that
VR and V2 are higher than or equal to the minimum values.
• If VR or/and V2 falls below the minimum values, takeoff is not possible.
‐ Actual TOW lower than maximum TOW
• If V1 corresponding to actual TOW is lower than the minimum V1 (V1 limited by VMCG) :
▪ If maximum TOW has a V1 equal to or above minimum V1 , retain minimum V1 as V1 and
decrease the flexible temperature by 4 °C per knot difference between them.
▪ In the rare case when the V1 corresponding to maximum TOW falls below the minimum V1
, decrease maximum TOW by 3 000 kg (6 600 lb ) per knot difference between them. Limit
the actual TOW to the value found after this decrement. Take V1 equal to minimum V1 and
decrease the flexible temperature by 4 °C per knot difference between this last value and
the V1 corresponding to the actual TOW . Check that VR and V2 are higher than or equal
to the minimum values.
• If VR or V2 corresponding to actual TOW falls below the minimum values, and if VR and V2
corresponding to maximum TOW are above the minimum values, retain the minimum speed
value for VR and V2.
5. Check that V2 is above the minimum V2 value due to VMU (Refer to PER-TOF-TOD-25-10
SPEEDS LIMITED BY VMCG/VMCA).
6. Check that the corrected flexible temperature is higher than OAT and Tref.
Note: ‐ Do not extrapolate below the shortest runway length provided in the table.

The following data and graphs are for example only, and are not for operational use. Even if the data
in the following example is in “kg” and “m”, the same method can be applied for “lb” and “ft”.
With no thrust reversers operating and assuming that no clearway was used to compute the dry
RTOW chart, use the table Refer to PER-TOF-CTA-40-20 NO THRUST REVERSERS OPERATIVE
(NO CLEARWAY).
• Maximum takeoff weight correction :
MTOW = 80 100 - 900 = 79 200 kg, V1 = 153 - 16 = 137 kt, VR = 156 - 3 = 153 kt, V2 = 158 - 3 =
155 kt.
• Flex temperature correction :
Assuming an actual takeoff weight of 75 000 kg and an initial flex temperature of 53 °C
TOW = 75 000 kg ⇒ Flex temperature = 53 - 3 = 50 °C
V1 = 152 - 16 = 136 kt, VR = 153 - 3 = 150 kt, V2 = 154 - 3 = 151 kt.
Check the resulting speeds against the minimum speeds as per procedure Refer to

• Fuel required to fly from destination to alternate airport.
It includes go-around 100 kg or 220 lb, climb to cruising level, cruise at long range speed,
descent and approach procedure.
80 kg or 180 lb for 4 min VFR
HOLDING FUEL
Calculation of holding fuel should take into account the altitude of the alternate and the landing
weight at the alternate. To use holding charts Refer to PER-HLD-GEN GENERAL.
A conservative quantity corresponding to a 30 min holding at 1 500 ft above alternate airport
elevation at “green dot” speed in the clean configuration is 1 200 kg or 2 700 lb

Applicable to: ALL
The following flight planning tables allow the planner to determine trip fuel consumption and trip time
required to cover a given air distance.
These tables are established for:
‐ Takeoff
‐ Climb profile 250 kt/300 kt/M 0.78
‐ Cruise Mach number M 0.78/LR
‐ Descent profile M 0.78/300 kt/250 kt
‐ Approach and landing 120 kg - 6 min IFR
‐ ISA
‐ CG = 33 %
‐ Normal air conditioning
‐ Anti ice OFF
They are based upon a reference landing weight of 55 000 kg and have been calculated using
databases for CFM 56–5–B/P. If the engines fitted on the aircraft are neither /P, nor /3, the fuel
consumption has to be increased by 3 %.
Note: 1. In the tables, the asterisk (*) means that a step climb of 4 000 ft must be flown to reach
the corresponding FL.
2. To obtain a flight plan at optimum cruise level, the highest flight level desired within the
flight has to be selected in the table.
3. For each degree Celcius above ISA temperature apply fuel correction 0.015 (kg/°C/NM)
× ΔISA (°C) × Air Distance (NM).

INTRODUCTION
This section provides an example explaining step by step how to perform a quick planning.
This example is based on an A320-232 aircraft, which most likely does not reflect your actual
aircraft. Nevertheless, the principle is valid for any aircraft, provided the appropriate performance
tables are used.
For actual calculations, access the appropriate tables corresponding to your current aircraft and
desired flight profile by following the "refer to" indications specified at each step, and do not use
the tables provided in the example.
EXAMPLE
The example is based on the following parameters:
‐ Aircraft used for the example A320-232
‐ Zero Fuel Weight 60 000 kg
‐ Temperature ISA conditions
‐ Air conditioning Normal
‐ Anti-ice Off
‐ Cruise M 0.78 at FL 370
‐ Departure - destination ground distance 1 800 NM
‐ Average wind on the leg to destination -40 kt (headwind)
‐ Reserve fuel 5 %
‐ Destination - alternate ground distance 200 NM at FL 200
‐ Average wind on the leg to alternate 0 kt
To calculate the flight plan, it is necessary to start from the minimum landing fuel at the alternate
airport.
1. Determine the 30 minutes holding fuel required at alternate airport (at 1 500 ft AGL).
(Refer to PER-FPL-GEN-MFR MINIMUM RECOMMENDED FUEL REQUIREMENTS for actual
30 min fuel value).
For the example, the conservative value of 1 200 kg is chosen.
The resulting landing weight at alternate is 60 000 + 1 200 = 61 200 kg.
2. Determine time, trip fuel, and fuel correction for the leg from destination to alternate airport:

a. Convert the ground distance to air distance.
(Refer to PER-OPD-CON-AEO GENERAL for conversion).
On this leg, the average wind is zero. Therefore, the air distance equals the ground distance.
b. Enter the table with the air distance and desired flight level to obtain time, trip fuel, and fuel
correction.

(Refer to PER-FPL-FLP-ALN-20 GENERAL for actual table).
For 200 NM air distance at FL 200, the table provides 0 h 38 min, 1 573 kg and
9 kg/1 000 kg.
c. Calculate the fuel burn correction regarding the estimated landing weight at the alternate
airport.
Table reference weight : 55 000 kg
Estimated landing weight : 61 200 kg
Fuel correction 9 kg per 1 000 kg difference
The extra fuel burn is (61.2 - 55.0) x 9 = 56 kg.
d. Calculate the total trip fuel from destination to alternate.
Trip fuel : 1 573 + 56 = 1 629 kg
The estimated landing weight at destination is 61 200 + 1 629 = 62 829 kg.
3. Determine time, trip fuel, and fuel correction for the leg from departure to destination airport at

(Refer to PER-FPL-FLP-QFP-40 FLIGHT PLANNING M.78 for actual M 0.78 table).
For 1 979 NM air distance at FL 370, the interpolation from the M 0.78 table provides 4 h
38 min, 10 226 kg and 146 kg/10 000 kg.
c. Calculate the fuel burn correction regarding the estimated landing weight at the destination
airport.
Table reference weight : 55 000 kg
Estimated landing weight : 62 829 kg
Fuel correction 146 kg per 1 000 kg difference
The extra fuel burn is (62.829 - 55) x 146 = 1 143 kg.
d. Calculate the total trip fuel from departure to destination.
Trip fuel : 10 226 + 1 143 = 11 369 kg
4. Determine the contingency (reserve) fuel.
(Refer to company policy for fuel reserve value).
The five percent of the departure - destination trip fuel is:
11 369 x 0.05 = 568 kg.
5. Determine the taxi fuel at departure.
(Refer to PER-FPL-GEN-MFR MINIMUM RECOMMENDED FUEL REQUIREMENTS for actual
taxi fuel).
For the example, the conservative value of 140 kg (12 min taxi time) is chosen.
6. Calculate the final block fuel.
‐ 30 min holding at alternate (1 500 ft AGL) 1 200 kg
‐ Trip fuel to alternate 1 629 kg
‐ Trip fuel to destination 11 369 kg
‐ Contingency (reserve) fuel 568 kg
‐ Taxi fuel 140 kg
Total block fuel 14 906 kg

The alternate planning tables enable the flight crew to determine the fuel consumption and time
required to cover a given air distance from go-around at destination airport to landing at alternate
airport.
These tables are established for:
‐ Go-around: 100 kg or 220 lb
‐ Climb profile: 250 kt/300 kt/M .78
‐ Long range speed
‐ Descent profile: M .78/300 kt/250 kt
‐ Approach and landing at alternate airport: 80 kg or 180 lb (4 min)
‐ ISA
‐ CG = 33 %
‐ Normal air conditioning
‐ Anti ice OFF
Following tables have been calculated using databases for CFM 56–5–B /P. If the engines fitted on
the aircraft are not /P or /3, the fuel consumption has to be increased by 3 %.
Note: 1. In the tables, the asterisk (*) means that a step climb of 4 000 ft must be flown to reach
the corresponding flight level.
2. The flight level shown on the top of each column is the final flight level.
3. For each degree Celsius above ISA temperature apply a fuel correction of
0.015 (kg/°C/NM) × ΔISA (°C) × Air distance (NM)
or 0.033 (lb/°C/NM) × ΔISA (°C) × Air distance (NM)

Applicable to: ALL
• Optimum altitude : the altitude at which the airplane covers the maximum distance per kilogram
(pound) of fuel (best specific range). It depends on the actual weight and the deviation from ISA.
• Maximum altitude is defined as the lower of:
‐ maximum altitude at maximum cruise thrust in level flight and
‐ maximum altitude at maximum climb thrust with 300 ft/min vertical speed.
Refer to QRH/PER-M Optimum & Maximum Altitudes (Paper Only) or use the performance
application of FlySmart with Airbus.
The QRH charts are established for a center of gravity at 33 % MAC.
Maximum and optimum altitudes are given for different temperatures at long range speed and
M 0.78.
Note: 1. The n = 1.3 g (n = 1.4 g) curve indicates the buffet margin.
2. Definition of the maximum altitude in the FMGC is different (Refer to DSC-22_20-50-10
MCDU).

Applicable to: ALL
In cruise, a quick check table (Refer to QRH/PER-M In Cruise Quick Check at a Given Mach Number
(Paper Only) or use the performance application of FlySmart with Airbus) allows the flight crew to
determine the fuel consumption and the time required to cover a given air distance from any moment
in cruise to land.
The QRH table is established for:
‐ Cruise Mach number: M 0.78
‐ Descent profile: M 0.78/300 kt/250 kt
‐ Approach and landing: 120 kg or 270 lb -6 min IMC
‐ ISA
‐ CG = 33 %
‐ Normal air conditioning
‐ Anti ice OFF
Note: 1. In the table, the asterisk “*” means that a step climb of 4 000 ft has been made to reach
the corresponding flight level.
2. The flight level shown on the top of each column is the final flight level.
3. For each degree celsius above ISA apply a fuel correction of
0.005 (kg/°C/NM) × ΔISA (°C) × Air Distance (NM)
or 0.011 (lb/°C/NM) × ΔISA (°C) × Air Distance (NM)
CORRECTION FOR DEVIATION FROM REFERENCE WEIGHT
Ident.: PER-CRZ-ICQ-10-00002039.0001001 / 22 MAR 16
Applicable to: ALL
The in cruise quick check table is based on a reference initial weight.
The fuel consumption must be corrected when the actual weight is different from the reference initial
weight.
If it is lower (or greater) than the reference weight, subtract (or add) the value given in the correction
part of the table per 1 000 kg or 1 000 lb below (or above) the reference weight.

In the go around configuration corresponding to the all engine procedure, the minimum steady
gradient one engine inoperative required by the regulations is 2.1 % at a speed not exceeding 1.4
Vs. This requirement is also called approach climb performance by regulations.
The following tables allow to determine the go around limiting weight which satisfies the required
gradient with the certified go around configurations 3 and 2.
The required gradient of 2.1 % is considered at the airport reference altitude. The power setting
is “GO AROUND” thrust with the air conditioning ON. The speed is 1.23 Vs of the specified
configuration. For the occasional cases where approach climb performance is found restrictive, a
correction is given for an increased speed, up to 1.4 Vs.
Note: Landing climb performance (2 engines running) is never limiting.

Applicable to: ALL
According to airport pressure altitude and temperature determine if the slats/flaps setting must be
restricted as a function of the landing weight, in order to meet the go around gradient requirement of
2.1 %.
Establish the final approach configuration with one more step of flaps. If the approach is interrupted,
retract the flaps by one step during the go-around.
In case of category 2 and 3 approaches, JAR -OPS requires a regulatory approach climb gradient of
2.5 % to be maintained.
Use the tables for CAT II & III approaches to determine the maximum approach climb limiting weight
according to airport pressure altitude and temperature.
Note: 1. If circumstances dictate, landing may be made at a weight corresponding to the
maximum structural takeoff weight. (Refer to PRO-ABN-MISC [QRH] OVERWEIGHT
LANDING).
2. When icing conditions are predicted during the flight and TAT is 10 °C or below and there
is an evidence of significant ice accretion, to take into account ice formation on the non
heated structure:
‐ Decrease the approach climb limiting weight by 4.5 %
‐ In CONF FULL, the approach speed must not be lower than VREF +5 kt, or
in CONF 3, the approach speed must not be lower than VLS +10 kt.
For Landing Performance assessment, refer to QRH PER-A.
3. In the following tables corrections for anti ice are only valid for OAT lower than 10 °C.
4. Use the CAT II tables in case of CAT III approach calculation.

REQUIRED LANDING DISTANCE (RLD) AT DISPATCH
The RLD is the regulatory reference to be used for dispatch landing performance computation.
The RLD is the factored certified landing distance based on:
‐ Maximum manual braking initiated immediately after main gear touchdown
‐ Prompt selection of max reverse thrust, maintained to 70kt, and idle thrust to full stop (when
credit is used)
‐ Antiskid and all spoilers operative
‐ The regulatory dispatch factor.
MANUAL LANDING
CONTAMINATED RUNWAY
If the surface is contaminated, EU-OPS operators must use the longer of the RLD for wet
runway and the RLD for the applicable contaminant for dispatch.
AUTOMATIC LANDING
The RLD for automatic landing is defined as the RLD in manual landing corrected with the
increment given in AFM. These increments assume maximum manual braking from main gear
touchdown.
IN-FLIGHT LANDING DISTANCE
The flight crew should use the Landing Distances published in the QRH as the reference
for In-Flight landing performance computation. The In-Flight Landing Distances reflect the
performance achievable in a typical operational landing without margin, assuming realistic airborne
phase from threshold to touchdown and deceleration on ground to full stop.
The In-Flight Landing Distances consider:
‐ Airborne phase of 7 seconds from threshold to touchdown
‐ Maximum manual braking initiated immediately after main gear touchdown
‐ Normal system delays in braking activation in case of autobrake
‐ Prompt selection of max reverse thrust, maintained to 70kt, and idle thrust to full stop (when
credit is used)
‐ Antiskid and all spoilers operative.

FACTORED IN-FLIGHT LANDING DISTANCE
The flight crew should apply an appropriate margin to the In-Flight Landing Distances published
in the QRH to account for operational variability (e.g. in wind and runway condition reporting) and
flying technique (e.g. speed and height above threshold, flare).
This factor should account for:
‐ The Applicable Regulations
‐ The Airline Policy
‐ The discretion of the Pilot.
The Factored In-Flight Landing Distance may in some cases, and in particular on contaminated
runway, exceed the RLD considered at dispatch.
The requirements for dispatch remain unchanged and are based on the RLD. However, when
arrival conditions are expected to be marginal it is recommended to make a preliminary calculation
of In-Flight Landing Distance or Factored In-Flight Landing Distance at dispatch in order to
nominate suitable destination alternates.
DISPATCH
Ident.: PER-LDG-GEN-00013288.0001001 / 18 MAR 11
Applicable to: ALL
The pilot must check before departure that the available runway length at destination is at least equal
to the required landing distance for the forecasted landing weight.
In case of aircraft system failure affecting landing distance known before the dispatch, the available
runway length must be at least equal to the required landing distance with failure, i.e. the required
landing distance without failure multiplied by the coefficient given in the Flight Manual or the MMEL.

USE OF THE AUTOBRAKE SYSTEM
Ident.: PER-LDG-GEN-00012045.0001001 / 22 MAY 12
Applicable to: ALL
The autobrake system is designed to help the pilot in case of :
‐ aborted takeoff or
‐ landing on short runways or
‐ operation with low visibility weather conditions
Furthermore, it ensures a straight roll-out and optimizes the landing distance on contaminated
runways provided the contamination is evenly distributed.
At landing, select the braking mode according to :
‐ runway length
‐ configuration
‐ runway condition

Ident.: PER-LDG-CTA-20-00013004.0001001 / 31 AUG 17
Applicable to: ALL
DAMP : A runway is considered as damp, when the surface of the runway is not
dry, but the water on the surface does not cause a shiny appearance.
WET : A runway is considered as wet, when the surface of the runway has a
shiny appearance due to a thin film of water. When this film does not
exceed 3 mm, there is no significant danger of hydroplaning.
FROST : The deposit of ice crystals on the runway is referred to as frost. The
direct sublimation of humidity contained in the air on a runway, when the
surface temperature is below freezing, causes frost.
COMPACTED SNOW : The maintenance personnel use a snow groomer to compress snow on
a runway in order to obtain a hard surface.
SLIPPERY WHEN WET: Notice to Airmen (NOTAM) report a runway as "slippery when wet",
when the runway partially or entirely fails to satisfy the minimum
(regulatory) friction requirement of the responsible authority.
DRY SNOW : Dry snow is snow that, if compacted by hand, does not stay compressed
when released. The wind can blow dry snow. The density of dry snow is
approximately 0.2 kg/l (1.7 lb/US Gal).
WET SNOW : Wet snow is snow that, if compacted by hand, stays compressed when
released, and with which snowballs can be created. The density of wet
snow is approximately 0.4 kg/l (3.35 lb/US Gal).
STANDING WATER : Standing water occurs due to heavy rain and/or insufficient runway
drainage with a depth of more than 3 mm.
SLUSH : Slush is snow soaked with water, which spatters when stepped on
firmly. Slush occurs at temperatures around 5 °C and has a density of
approximately 0.85 kg/l (7.1 lb/US Gal).
ICE (Cold and Dry) : Situation in which ice occurs on the runway in cold and dry conditions.
WET ICE : When the ice on a runway melts, or there are loose/fluid contaminants
on top of the ice, the ice is referred to as "wet ice". When there is wet ice
on a runway, braking and directional control are difficult or not possible,
because the runway surface is very slippery.

For ETOPS operations, any of the above diversion strategies can be used provided that the selected
strategy and speed schedule is used in:
‐ establishing the area of operation (maximum diversion distance), Refer to PRO-SPO-40-60
General,
‐ calculating the diversion fuel requirements for the single engine ETOPS critical scenario, Refer to
PRO-SPO-40-30 ETOPS Fuel Scenarios,
‐ demonstrating the applicable obstacle clearance requirements (net flight path and net ceiling).
During the diversion, the flight crew is expected to use the planned speed schedule.
However, based on the evaluation of the actual situation, the pilot in command has the authority to
deviate from this planned one engine inoperative speed.

Ident.: PER-OEI-ICQ-10-00002122.0001001 / 22 MAR 17
Applicable to: ALL
In cruise quick check tables (Refer to QRH/PER-L In Cruise Quick Check Long Range (Paper Only)
or use the performance application of FlySmart with Airbus) allow the flight crew to determine the
fuel consumption and the time required to cover a given air distance from any moment in cruise to
landing, with one engine inoperative.
The QRH tables are established for:
‐ Cruise Mach number : long range
‐ Descent profile : M .78/300 kt/250 kt
‐ Approach and landing : 120 kg or 270 lb - 6 min IMC
‐ ISA
‐ CG = 33 %
‐ Pack flow HI
‐ Anti ice OFF
Note: 1. In the tables, the asterisk (*) means that a step climb of 4 000 ft must be flown to reach
the corresponding flight level.
2. The flight level shown on the top of each column is the final flight level.
3. For each degree Celsius above ISA temperature apply a fuel correction of 0.015
(kg/°C/NM) × Δ ISA (°C) × air distance (NM) or 0.033 (lb/°C/NM) × ΔISA (°C) × air
distance (NM).
CORRECTION FOR DEVIATION FROM REFERENCE WEIGHT
Ident.: PER-OEI-ICQ-10-00002123.0001001 / 21 MAR 17
Applicable to: ALL
The in cruise quick check tables are based on a reference initial weight.
A correction on the fuel consumption has to be made, when the actual initial weight is different from
the reference initial weight.
If it is lower (or greater) than the reference weight, subtract (or add) the value given in the correction
part of the table per 1 000 kg or 1 000 lb below (or above) the reference initial weight (Refer to
PER-OEI-DES-20 DESCENT - M.80/350KT).
