IF AUTOBRAKE IS SELECTED: 1. BRAKE PEDALS PRESS IF NO BRAKNG AVAILABLE: 1. REV MAX 2. BRAKE PEDALS RELEASE Brake pedals should be released when the A/SKID & N/W STRG selector is switched OFF, since pedal force produces more braking action in alternate mode than in normal mode. 3. A/SKID & N/W STRG OFF 4. BRAKE PEDALS PRESS Apply brakes with care since initial pedal force or displacement produces more braking action in alternate mode than in normal mode. 5. MAX BRK PR 1000 PSI Monitor brake pressure on BRAKES PRESS indicator. Limit brake pressure to approximately 1000 psi and at low ground speed adjust brake pressure as required. IF STILL NO BRAKING: 1. PARKING BRAKE SHORT AND SUCCESSIVE APPLICATION Use short and successive brake applications to stop the aircraft. Brake onset asymmetry may be felt at each parking brake application. If possible delay use of parking brake until low speed to reduce the risk of tire burst and lateral control difficulties. CAUTION: Autobrakes will not activate below 72 knots.

RNAV (RNP) AR/SAAAR Approach Notes


RNAV (RNP) AR/SAAAR approach plate identifiers include: (RNP) in the title SPECIAL AIRCRAFT & AIRCREW AUTHORIZATION REQUIRED in notes section Another possible feature is the curved segment, called an RF (radius to fix) leg. The MCDU FLT PLAN page will have "__ ARC" displayed between the defining waypoints of an RF leg, where the number is the radius of the arc. Airbus aircraft have uncompensated BARO-VNAV systems. Temperature limits must be respected. To determine approach category us VAPP on MCDU PERF page. Use approach category to determine maximum speed when on an RF leg segment (consult QRH table). Do not accept any clearance direct to a fix unless it is outside the FAF/GP intercept and does not immediately precede an RF leg. Do not modify waypoints. Modifying waypoints may remove an RF leg, compromising obstacle clearance. Once inside the FAF/GP Intercept, the PM must callout deviations that equal or exceeds 1/2 dot on the V/DEV scale. If V/DEC increases to 3/4 dot deviation, execute a missed approach.

MISSED APPROACH
ESTIMATED is the measure of position accuracy. If ESTIMATED value exceeds the REQUIRED value, NAV ACCUR DOWNGRAD is displayed. FM position is reliable but not sufficient to continue. Continue use of NAV but execute a missed approach. GPS PRIMARY and HIGH accuracy must be present on both MCDU PROG pages. If GPS PRIMARY is lost, ESTIMATED position will increase with time. FM position is reliable but not sufficient to continue. Continue use of NAV but execute Missed Approach. Monitor FMA to ensure NAV is engaged. If a missed approach is executed above 1000 ft AGL with NAV available, either Stop the descent and monitor FMA to ensure NAV is engaged, or Accomplish the go-around maneuver and monitor the FMA to ensure NAV is engaged. If a missed approach is executed below 1000 ft AGL, utilize the go-around procedure. Monitor FMA to ensure NAV is engaged. Always monitor FMA to ensure NAV is engaged. GA TRK may cause the aircraft to rapidly depart a curved RF course.

IF MISSED APPROACH
Missed Approach is required for: GPS PRIMARY LOST or NAV ACCUR DOWNGRADE is displayed Vertical deviation dot (After FAF/GP Intercept Any failure or degradation of FMS, GPS, Autopilot, or Flight Director At MAP and visual landing cues not in sight Missed Approach Execution: Stop descent (below 1000 RA use Go-Around procedure), maintain or climb to (whichever is higher): o Approach segment altitude, or o Missed approach altitude Remain in NAV: o Reengage, if required o Follow the lateral approach path or missed approach path

RNAV (RNP) AR/SAAAR Approach Notes (Continued)


ESCAPE MANEUVER
If the aircraft strays off course or its position cannot be determined, an ESCAPE to the MSA may be required. Escape Maneuver Execution is based on Reliable or Unreliable FM position. Reliable FM Position: Cross-track error must be monitored during the approach. A deviation indicates autopilot inability to maintain the FMGC generated course. PM must callout values that equal or exceed 0.2 NM. If the cross-track error reaches or exceeds 0.3, execute the Escape Maneuver. Note: The position and course are reliable but the autopilot is unable to track the course. Disconnect autopilot and use heading to maintain course while climbing to the MSA. Unreliable FM Position is indicated with specific messages: NAV FM/GPS POS DISAGREE FMS1/FMS2 POS DIFF "MAP NOT AVAILABLE" on both NDs With unreliable position information, execute the escape maneuver. With position error messages, the course depiction on the ND is not accurate and must NOT be used during the escape maneuver. Select TOGA and climb to the MSA. Utilize HDG and ground-based navaids to avoid known obstacles. Selecting GPWS TERR - OFF prevents erroneous terrain alerts. An ESCAPE is required only if position cannot be determined OR the autopilot cannot maintain NAV course.

IF ESCAPE MANEUVER
Escape Maneuver is only required for: Reliable FM position: Cross-track error on ND 0.3 nm Unreliable FM position: NAV FM/GPS POS DISAGREE FMS1/FMS2 POS DIFF MAP NOT AVAILABLE on both NDs Escape Maneuver Execution: TOGA A/P OFF Use HDG to re-intercept and follow lateral path Climb to MSA TOGA Use HDG and ground-based navaids to avoid terrain, obstacles, and traffic Climb to MSA GPWS TERR OFF

Compliance with the flight parameters shown above (not rate of descent) may be delayed until 500 ft RA as long as UNSTABLE is called out along with the deviation (e.g., slightly high correcting, etc.), otherwise the PF calls out UNSTABLE and performs a go -around1. Stabilized The PM calls STABLE, ___ (from Target Speed), SINK ___ At 500 ft RA2 Unstabilized The PM calls UNSTABLE and the PF performs a go-around.1 1 If non-normal conditions require deviation and are briefed the approach can be continued. 2 Callout not required during non-precision approaches unless Landing callout is made above 500 feet.

Stabilized Approach Notes


Policy: Pilots will plan to be stabilized on all approaches by 1,000 ft RA in both IMC and VMC. Rate of Descent: By 1,000 ft RA, the descent rate is transitioning to no greater than 1000 FPM. Flight Parameters: Below 1,000 ft AFE, the aircraft is: On a proper flight path (visual or electronic) with only small changes in pitch and heading required to maintain that path, At a speed above VLS, no less than Target 5 kts and not greater than Target + 10 kts allowing for transitory conditions, with engines spooled up, In trim, and In an approved landing configuration

Roll the aircraft in the direction of the bank indicator. This is the shortest direction toward an upright wings-level attitude. 2 The primary concern is to decrease bank angle (if present) to prevent overloading the aircraft when the pitch is raised to the horizon.

For bank angles exceeding 90 focus on the sky pointer (bank pointer) of the attitude indicator. Roll the aircraft in the direction of the bank indicator. This is the shortest direction toward an upright wings-level attitude. 2 It may be necessary to reduce thrust to prevent the angle of attack from continuing to increase.

Emergency Descent
This maneuver is designed to provide a smooth descent to a safe altitude, in minimum time, with the lowest possible passenger discomfort. The captain will assume PF duties for all emergency descents. If structural damage is suspected, limit airspeed as much as possible, and avoid high maneuvering loads. The autopilot and A/THR should remain engaged and used to accomplish the descent. If the autopilot is not available manually fly the maneuver.

Left Seat
Emergency Descent. My Aircraft Altitude: Descend to 10,000 ft or minimum safe altitude1 (whichever is higher) Continue descent to 10,000 ft when able Heading: Select a turn or proceed straight ahead. Airspeed: SPD Vmo/Mmo (limit speed and avoid G load if damage suspected) Wait minimum of 10 seconds then slowly: Speedbrakes Extend (ensure Vls does not exceed indicated airspeed) 1000 feet prior to Level Off: Speedbrakes Retract SPD LRC or as appropriate

Minimum Safe altitude is: On airway: Minimum Enroute Altitude (MEA), or Minimum Obstacle Clearance Altitude (MOCA), whichever is higher, or Off airway: Minimum Off-Route Altitude (MORA), or any other altitude based on terrain clearance, navigation aid reception, or Within terminal area: Highest Minimum Safe Altitude (MSA)

Expanded Discussion
Don oxygen masks and establish crew communications, if required. If CAB ALT > 14,000 ft, select PAX OXY MASKS to MAN ON. Select OP DES and VMO/MMO if appropriate. If A/THR is not available retard thrust levers to idle. Initiate a turn, if necessary. Smoothly extend the speedbrakes, and lower the nose to initial descent attitude (approximately 10 nosedown). Wait at least 10 seconds after the aircraft starts descent before fully extending the speedbrakes. Rapid deployment of the speedbrakes at high altitude/slow speed will cause VLS to be greater than the existing speed and may cause autopilot disconnection and speedbrakes auto retraction if angle of attack protection is activated. About 10 knots before reaching target speed (VMO/MMO) slowly reduce the pitch attitude to maintain target speed. If VMO/MMO is inadvertently exceeded, change pitch smoothly to decrease speed. Approaching level off altitude, smoothly adjust pitch attitude to reduce rate of descent. The speedbrake lever should be retracted approximately 1000 feet above the desired altitude. After reaching level flight, add thrust to maintain desired speed. When turbulent air is encountered or expected, reduce to turbulent air penetration speed. Rapid descent is normally made with the landing gear up and speedbrakes FULL. Level off at 10,000 feet or safe altitude, whichever is higher. Approximately 1000 feet above the desired altitude, smoothly return the speedbrake to CLOSE during the level off maneuver. When approaching the selected altitude, the altitude capture will engage automatically. Adjusting the command speed to approximately LRC or 300 knots prior to level off minimizes thrust lever activity at altitude capture. The pitch mode will then control altitude and the thrust levers will increase to hold speed.

Non-Normal Procedures
1. PF Maintain Aircraft Control
The PF will devote total awareness to the control and navigation of the airplane and use automation as appropriate to help reduce workload.

2. Identify the Non-Normal PM Cancels the Warning or Caution, if applicable


The first crewmember recognizing the non-normal situation will clearly announce it (e.g., "Engine Fire"). Do not identify which engine has malfunctioned at this time. If not immediately obvious which procedure to use, additional analysis may be necessary. The captain will determine which procedure is appropriate.

3. PM - Determine if Immediate Action or ECAM Exception


Once: the airplane flight path and configuration are properly established, and the airplane is not in a critical phase of flight (e.g., takeoff, landing)

the PM determines and verbalizes whether the non-normal is an Immediate Action Item or an ECAM Exception. The Immediate Action Index and ECAM Exception Index are available on the back of the QRH.

4. PM - Accomplish Immediate Action Items, if applicable.


Accomplish any red items from memory, and then use the QRH to complete Immediate Action items without delay as follows: PF PM Accomplish each non-normal checklist item using "Challenge-Response-Response Concept" Read aloud the appropriate QRH or electronic checklist items: checklist title challenge and response for all numbered items Maintain aircraft control (left margin items on an electronic checklist) indented items, if necessary, and notes, cautions, and warnings Perform/request all items directly related to flying the Position controls not directly related to flying the aircraft and items aircraft (e.g., flight path requested by the PF control, autopilot, thrust management, etc.) Note: Refined guidance has been created in an effort to putting the most standardized methodology into practice when handling non-normal procedures. In review, it is now preferred to consult the index on the back of the QRH to determine whether a non-normal situation is an Immediate Action or an ECAM Exception prior to the captain assigning PF duties. If the non-normal is an Immediate Action item, its associated checklist should be conducted prior to any transfer of control. If the non-normal is an ECAM Exception, transfer of control should occur prior to conducting its associated checklist.

5. Captain - Assigns PF
In-flight, the captain should normally assign the flying duties to the first officer while non-normal checklists are completed unless conditions dictate otherwise. This allows the captain to direct full attention to the accomplishment of non-normal procedures and conduct communications with external resources. The captain should verbalize who will assume ATC communications.

6. Accomplish Non-normal procedure


The PF calls for the appropriate non-normal procedure as follows: PF calls for the QRH (e.g. QRH procedure) in case of: ECAM Exception. PM refers to the ECAM Exceptions Index on the back cover of the QRH for page reference. Non-Normal procedure that is not indicated by ECAM. PM refers to the Alphabetic Index for the page reference. PF calls ECAM Action in case of: ECAM procedures that are not ECAM Exceptions. PM refers to the electronic checklist.

7. PM - Accomplish ECAM Follow-Up procedures, if applicable


ECAM cautions and warnings requiring QRH follow up are contained in a QRH index on yellow pages following the Immediate Action Items. After completing the ECAM checklist, complete the associated QRH Follow-Up checklist if the ECAM caution or warning is listed in this index. If the ECAM checklist returns the system to normal, the associated FollowUp procedures are not accomplished. Additional Resources: The crew should refer to the ECAM Non-Normal Supplemental Manual, if time permits. Crew Awareness ECAMs: In the event of a Crew Awareness ECAM (e.g., COND AFT CRG ISO VALVE) on the ground, dispatch may not be permitted or an MEL/CDL may apply. Comply with Pilot Handbook "Discrepancies-After Dispatch Before Takeoff" procedure.

ECAM Procedure Notes


1. Unless conditions dictate otherwise, the captain should assign the flying duties to the F/O in accordance with the FOM. 2. Confirm correct Thrust Lever, Engine Master, Engine Fire pb, Cargo Smoke DISCH pb, IR pbs/selectors, and/or IDGs before performing ECAM action. Procedures will be initiated on command of PF. No action will be taken (except cancelling the audio warning through MASTER WARN light until: Flight path is stabilized The airplane is at least 1,000 AFE or obstacle clearance altitude. If an emergency or abnormal procedure calls for LAND ASAP written in red or amber on ECAM, comply with FOM procedures and land at nearest suitable airport. Primary Failure Failure of an item of equipment or system causing loss of others in the airplane. On the ECAM their title is boxed: B SYS LO PR Crew Coordination When carrying out a procedure displayed on the ECAM, it is essential that both pilots are aware of the present display. Before any CLEAR action, crosscheck that no cyan message remains (except in case of no action feedback), that can be eliminated by a direct action. *** NO CLEAR ACTION BEFORE CROSS EXAMINATION *** Should it be necessary to stop ECAM actions for any reason, the PF will state: HOLD ECAM. ECAM actions will continue when the PF states CONTINUE ECAM. ECAM Procedures, STATUS information, and a check of PFD/ND are sufficient for handling the fault. However, when ECAM actions have been performed, and ECAM STATUS has been reviewed, if time permits, the crew may refer to the ECAM Non-Normal Supplemental manual. Common sense must be applied when using ECAM. For example, if the last remaining hydraulic system overheats, ECAM will indicate shutting the system OFF. For obvious reasons, don't. Note: Anytime the aircraft is unable to maintain current altitude due to an engine failure or an ECAM/QRH-directed thrust reduction, the crew will immediately apply the QRH procedure "Loss of Thrust-Unable to Maintain Altitude" Immediate Action procedure. Ensure the aircraft is stable before initiating or resuming any other applicable ECAM/QRH procedures.

ECAM Challenge-Response-Response Concept


Confirm (In Flight only). Accomplished the same as standard non-normal checklist items except the action will not be accomplished until the PF guards the non-affected control and states Confirmed. In cases where physical guarding of controls is not possible, a visual verification by the PF will be acceptable means of guarding the non-affected control. Confirm items include: Thrust Levers, Engine Masters, Engine Fire pbs, Cargo Smoke DISCH pbs, IR pbs/selectors, and/or IDGs. The passenger door disarming lever is a confirm item on the ground. QRH Confirm items have Confirm printed between the challenge and response while ECAM Confirm items do not. ECAM Confirm Example:

THR LEVER 1 ....IDLE PF PM


Fly the aircraft Guard thrust lever 2 and state CONFIRMED when ready for action Read aloud THRUST LEVER 1 IDLE Select thrust lever 1

Position thrust lever 1 to IDLE Repeat aloud IDLE Non-normal checklist notes: Standard: PM reads aloud the checklist challenge and response, selects the proper control, accomplishes the action, then repeats the response aloud. Confirm: Accomplished the same as standard non-normal checklist items except the action will not be accomplished until the PF guards the non-affected control and states Confirmed. Verify: Accomplished the same as standard non-normal checklist items except the response is repeated by the PF.

Surveillance Approach (ASR)


During an ASR approach
The controller will issue: Headings and relative position of the aircraft The published MDA Lost communications procedures (if IFR conditions are likely) Missed approach instructions (if IFR conditions exist on final approach segment) Recommended altitudes on final upon request When to descend to the MDA The missed approach point The pilot: May request desired distances from start descent point. May request recommended altitudes on final approach. Will inform controller of aircraft approach category and request visibility minimums. Refer to Aircraft Approach Category, page OD-5. Once the crew obtains the MDA from ATC, will enter the DDA (MDA + 50 ft.) in the MDA/BARO field on the PERF page. Established on Inbound Course: Select TRK/FPA on FCU. Heading is displayed under the fixed yellow reference line on the heading indicator. The final approach segment begins approximately 6 miles from touchdown or when the controller advises that the aircraft is on final, whichever occurs first. Once you are on a desired course, if you keep the ACTUAL track symbols lined up with the runway, the aircraft should remain on course regardless of the wind. Configure aircraft gear and flaps early enough to be fully configured and stabilized before the Begin Descent Point. At Begin Descent Point: Select an FPA of 3.0 degrees down to the DDA. Set the missed approach altitude in the FCU altitude window. Note: If the missed approach altitude is lower than the FAF altitude, delay setting the missed approach altitude until you have descended below the missed approach altitude. At DDA:

Execute a missed approach with the AP engaged or continue visually and ensure the AP is disconnected by DDA minus 50 ft.

Procedure Notes
Select appropriate approach or runway of intended landing from FMC database Provide controller with aircraft approach category (if no ASR page) Note: A319/320 - C, A321 - D Request: o Visibility minimums for approach (if no ASR page) o Published MDA, missed approach instructions o Desired distances from start descent point (10,5,3,2,1) o Recommended altitudes on final approach When the published MDA is not a multiple of 100, round it up to the next 100 When established at initial approach altitude with ALT on FMA, set the MDA in FCU window 3 mi GEAR DOWN, 2 mi FLAPS 3, 1 mi FLAPS FULL At top of descent point initialize descent utilizing V/S (no greater than 1000 FPM below 1000 AGL crosscheck G/S or Vertical Deviation if available) Once level at the MDA with ALT on FMA, set missed approach altitude in FCU window Autopilot and F/D OFF to descend below MDA
