A320 Memory Items

Question 1

TAWS warnings

Answer 1

Call out: “pull up, TOGA’

AP……………………………………..Off
Pitch………………………………….Pull up
Thrust levers……………………..TOGA
Speed brakes…………………….Check retracted
Bank………………………………….Wings level or adjust
Do not change configuration until clear of obstacle

Refer to ABN - SURV - TAWS WARNINGS

Question 2

Emergency Descent

Answer 2

Call out: “Emergency descent”

Crew Oxygen Masks………………………………Use
Signs……………………………………………………..On
Emergency Descent……………………………….Initiate
Thrust Levers…………………………………………Idle if A/THR not active
Speed Brake…………………………………………..Full

Refer to ABN - MISC - EMERGENCY DESCENT

Question 3

Loss of braking

Answer 3

Call out: “Loss of braking”

Reversers…………………………………………………..Max
Brake pedals……………………………………………..Release
Anti-skid off……………………………………………….Order
Anti-skid & NW steering…………………………….Off
Brake pedals……………………………………………..Press (carefully as alternate braking is more sensitive)
Max brake pressure…………………………..………1000 PSI
- If still no braking:
Parking brake……………………………………………..Short and successive applications

Refer to ABN - BRAKES - LOSS OF BRAKING

Question 4

Stall Recovery

Answer 4

Callout: “Stall, I have control”

Nose down pitch control………………………………….Apply
Bank…………………………………………….………………….Wings level
-When out of stall:
Thrust………………………………………………………………Increase smoothly as needed
Speed brakes…………………………………………………..Check retracted
Flight path……………………………………………………….Recover smoothly
-If in clean configuration and below 20,000’
Flaps 1…………………………………………………………….Select

Refer to ABN - MISC - STALL RECOVERY

Question 5

Stall Warning at liftoff

Answer 5

Callout: “Stall, TOGA 15 degrees”

Thrust…………………………………………………TOGA
Pitch Attitude………………………………………15º
Bank…………………………………………………….Wings Level

Refer to ABN - MISC - STALL WARNING AT LIFT-OFF

Question 6

TCAS warnings

Answer 6

-If AP/FD TCAS is armed:
Callout: “TCAS blue”
FD orders…………………………Follow
The AP can be engaged
Vertical speed…………………..Monitor

-If AP/FD TCAS is not armed:
Callout: “TCAS, I have control”
AP………………………………Off
Both FD’s……………………Off
Respond promptly and smoothly
Vertical speed…………….Adjust or maintain

Refer to ABN - SURV - TCAS WARNINGS - RESOLUTION ADVISORY

Note: If you get a climbing RA during approach with config 3 or config FULL you should perform a normal go-around and just monitor your vertical speed to ensure it remains out of the red. This is mentioned in the ABN/EMER procedures but isn’t a memory item for whatever reason. Remember that we do NOT have discretion to not comply with the RA.

Question 7

Unreliable speed indication

Answer 7

Callout: “Unreliable airspeed”
-If the safety of flight is impacted…
AP……………………………………………………………………….Off
A/THR……………………………………………………………………….Off
FD……………………………………………………………………………Off
PITCH/THRUST:
-Below THR RED ALT………………………………………..15º/TOGA
-Above THR RED ALT and below FL100…………….10º/CL
-Above THR RED ALT and above FL100…………….5º/CL
FLAPS………………………………………………………………………..Maintain current configuration
FLAPS (if flaps CONF FULL)………………………………………..Select CONF 3 and maintain configuration
SPEEDBRAKES……………………………………………………………Check retracted
L/G…………………………………………………………………………….Up
When at or above MSA or Circuit altitude level off for troubleshooting

Refer to ABN - NAV - UNRELIABLE AIRSPEED INDICATION

Question 8

Windshear warning - Reactive windshear (“windshear, windshear”)

Answer 8

Callout: “Windshear TOGA”
At takeoff:
-Before V1: If there are significant variations in airspeed, and in airspeed trend, reject the takeoff
-After V1:
THR LEVERS………………………………..TOGA
REACHING VR……………………………..ROTATE
SRS ORDERS……………………………….FOLLOW

When airborne, initial climb, or landing:
THR LEVERS AT TOGA………………….SET or CONFIRM
AP (if engaged)……………………..……..KEEP ON
SRS ORDERS…………………………………FOLLOW
Do not change configuration until out of windshear
Carefully monitor flight path and speed
When out of windshear, smoothly recover normal climb

Note: The AP will disconnect if the AOA exceeds Alpha prot. Also, if no FD bars are present, set the initial pitch attitude to 17.5°. Increase pitch as necessary to prevent altitude loss.

Refer to ABN - SURV - [MEM] WINDSHEAR WARNING - REACTIVE WINDSHEAR

Question 9

Different kinds of LAND ASAP

Answer 9

RED LAND ASAP:
Land as soon as possible at the nearest airport at which a safe landing can be made. Time critical
AMBER LAND ASAP:
Consider landing at the nearest suitable airport
