    The document provides guidance to pilots on various flight phases and ATC requests: 1. It outlines the steps to follow when receiving an ATC clearance change or new cruise altitude, including setting the altitude on the MCDU and FCU. 2. It discusses when to engage engine anti-ice and adjust radar tilt. 3. It summarizes the crew actions and announcements when maintaining or resuming own navigation as requested by ATC.

    The document outlines the procedures for responding to various ATC instructions and monitoring the aircraft during different phases of flight.

    When ATC issues a new altitude clearance, the pilot should set the new altitude on the FCU, announce the new altitude, crosscheck it on the PFD, and update the flight plan on the MCDU.

    When ATC clears the aircraft to resume own navigation, the pilot should set the heading and engage the navigation mode. Then when navigation is green, the pilot should manage the altitude by engaging the vertical mode and resuming the flight plan.
