Controls and switches that must be confirmed by the PF before being operated by the PM
Noise abatement procedure
• Procedures:
Policy for tuning Navaids
Maximum speed on departure
250 kt until above the highest applicable sector MSA, at least 3 000 ft AAL
Maximum speed on arrival
PF shall reduce speed to less than 250 kt:
• Below highest applicable sector MSA
• In accordance with state requirements
• At speed limit point, if one is defined
• Before descending below 3 000 ft AAL
Reference for safe altitude on departures/arrivals that do not follow published procedures
When do you have to select Terrain on the ND
• TERR may be selected at any time
to enhance situational awareness
• Normally TERR is selected on ND:
‐ Before takeoff until above relevant sector MSA
‐ During descent when cleared below highest sector MSA
• These requirements may be modified with significant weather or if terrain is not a factor
Excessive rate of descent close to the ground
Rate of descent greater than:
• 2 500 ft/min below 2 500 ft RA
• 1 500 ft/min below 1 000 ft RA
Stabilised approach
• 1 500 ft AAL, Landing configuration Stable on Final Approach Path
• 1 000 ft AAL, Missed approach mandatory if any of these criteria is not achieved:
‐ Landing configuration
‐ Stable on Final Approach Path
‐ Speed VAPP (-5/+10)
‐ Landing Checklist complete
• For visual, circling or approaches that require level flight at or below 1 500 ft AAL:
- Landing configuration at 1 000 ft AAL
- Wings level on extended runway centreline by 300 ft
At 1000 ft PM calls “Unstable Flaps”
PF answers “Standby” and prepare for a go-around
Conditions required to change a manual landing to an autoland
Restrictions when the approach is built manually on the FM using stored database or pilot-created waypoints
• Below highest sector MSA:
- Don’t insert any altitude constraint
- Don’t use Managed vertical mode
• Use Raw data as the primary navigation reference
• Lateral and vertical guidance derived from manually inserted waypoints must be treated with care
Situations where a missed approach is mandatory
Landing beyond the planned touchdown point
Commander assesses whether a safe landing is achievable within remaining distance:
• If landing is to be discontinued:
• If landing is to be continued:
- Captain ensures the PF uses appropriate braking and reverse thrust
Touchdown Zone
Conditions when Full reverse must be used for landing
List of aircraft documentation to be carried on board
Maximum acceptable Fuel discrepancy after refuelling
After refuelling, Fuel discrepancy is outside the limit
The flight may depart provided the Captain is satisfied that:
• Sufficient fuel is on board
• Aircraft limitations are not exceeded
• Takeoff performance requirements are satisfied
Note: Small discrepancies or degraded fuel quantity indication are unlikely to be resolved through a stick check due to the level of accuracy of the MMI system; Stick checks are only necessary in the event of the fuel quantity indicating system being inoperative
Crew enters the cockpit, all electrical power is OFF
Indications for the Alternate Brake check
Aircraft systems that require an additional exterior check after maintenance
Engines or landing gear maintenance during or after the walk-around, following items shall be checked by a pilot prior to doors closed:
FAN COWL DOORS……………………………CLOSED/LATCHED
GEAR SAFETY PINS…………………………………………REMOVED
Flight Recorder Check
RCDR GND CTL…………………………….ON
Ensure that the PARK BRK is ON
LOUDSPEAKER VOLUME …………..OFF (BOTH SIDES)
ACP INT/RAD sw ………………………….SET to INT
Turn the interphone volume to maximum
CVR TEST………………………………………PRESS AND MAINTAIN
Check that the following is heard through loudspeakers:
• Audio test signal, and 1 beep every 4s
• Voice when talking in the handmike
• Release the CVR test push button
Conditions for Complete/Fast ADIRS alignment
• Complete IRS alignment must be performed in the following cases:
- Before the first flight of the day
- When there is a crew change
- When GPS is not available and:
. NAVAIDS coverage is poor on route
. Expected flight time is more than 3 h
• Fast IRS alignment must be performed when deviation of IRS position from FMGC position is at or above 5 NM
• To perform an alignment:
