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.

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.

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.
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.
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.
