20s

N1 should increase prior to:

Descent prep for FLS (F-LOC, F-G/S) approach involves:
Perf approach page - check/select FLS guidance
F-PLN A page - check 0.1 degree vertical path, check 1 degree lateral path
**FLS data check - ** press the LS button to display FLS data, check against published chart:
* the anchor point
* the course of the F-LOC beam
* the sleop of the F-GS beam
* on the ND check compatability of FLS beam with the final approach leg of the flight plan
-For ILS G/S out, G/S deselect on rad nav page
When can you press APPR on FCU when cleared for an ILS approach:
- Cleared for the approach
- On the intercept trajectory for the final approach course
- LOC deviation is available
What are the tolerances for all approaches:
Descent rate - less than or equal to 1000fpm
VASI - any significant deviation from nominated visual approach path
Centreline - unless specificed in procedure, the a/c is tracking the centreline with all manoeuvring complete by 500’ RA
Airspeed - target airspeed -5 - +10 at and below 500’ RA
Thrust - a/c eneregy levels are correct for confirmation and prevailing conditions
What are the tolerances for instrument approaches:
ILS/GLS/LLZ - LOC - 1/2 dot “LOC”
G/S - 1/2 dot “GLIDE”
F-APP displayed: less than 1 x RNP (0.3) from IAF or IF, after intercepting F-LOC 1/2 dot
VOR - 2.5 degrees
RNP-AR - lateral - less than 1 x RNP
- vertical - prior to VIP, not below min segment alt, after the VIP, 3/4 dot (75’) below vertical profile
What is the stable approach criteria?
- All normal checklists completed
- The aircraft is fully configured for landing with the flaps surfaces in their final position for landing
- The aircrafts approach path is contained within the flight parameter tolerances
All approaches must be stable at AND BELOW 500’ RA
Approach tolerances
Flight paramter call-outs on approach:
“SPEED” - -5 +10
“SINK RATE” - descent rate exceeds 1000fpm
“BANK” - bank angle exceeds 7 degrees
“PITCH” - lower than -2.5, greater than 7.5
“LOC” “GLIDE” - 1/2 dot
“CROSS TRACK” - XTK greater than 0.1nm
“V/DEV” - vertical deviation greater than 1/2 dot
“COURSE” - 1/2 dot or 2.5 degrees VOR
Approach tolerances
RNAV (RNP) approach call-outs:
“LAT DEV” - L/DEV reaches 1/2 dot
“V/DEV” - 1/2 dot
“SINK RATE” - descent rate exceeds 1000fpm
“BANK” - bank angle goes above 30 degrees
Call outs
Landing parameter call outs:
“PITCH PITCH” - if pitch attitude approaches tailstrike pitch limit indicator or reaches 10 degrees
“BANK BANK” = if the bank angle reaches 7 degree
Call outs
Go-Around parameter callouts
“BANK” - if bank angle greater than 7
“PITCH” - pitch greater than 20, or less than 10
“SINK RATE” - if there is no climb rate
