REV 44 JUN 2010


PRELIMINARY

The following sections contain expanded information on normal procedures.

Standard Operating Procedures consist of inspections, preparations, and normal procedures. All

items of a given procedure are listed in a sequence that follows a standardized scan of the cockpit

panels, unless that sequence goes against the action priority logic, to ensure that all actions are

performed in the most efficient way.

Standard Operating Procedures are divided into flight phases, and are performed by memory.

Flight Crew must use STANDARD CALLOUTS (3.03.90 FCOM).

These procedures assume that all systems are operating normally, and that all automatic

functions are used normally.

Some normal procedures that are non-routine will be found in the FCOM SUPPLEMENTARY

TECHNIQUES Chapter (3.04 FCOM), and in the SPECIAL OPERATIONS Chapter (2.04

FCOM).

NORMAL

CHECKLIST

After completing a given procedure, the flight crew uses the related normal checklist to

ascertain that they have checked the safety points.

The crewmember that reads the checklist should announce completion of the checklist

(Example: "LANDING CHECKLIST COMPLETED").

The normal checklist takes advantage of the ECAM system and only includes the items that may

directly impact safety and efficiency if done incorrectly.




REV 44 JUN 2010


Normal checklist is related to eight different flight phases. BEFORE START, BEFORE TAKE-

OFF and AFTER TAKE OFF checklist are divided in two parts i.e. “Down to the line” and

“Below the line”. This feature eases the crew workload management e.g. BEFORE START

down to the line may be called as soon as the load and trim sheet is available and take-off data

set whereas BEFORE START below the line will be called when start up clearance is obtained.

Normal checklists on the ground are initiated by the CM 1 and read by the CM 2, when airborne

are initiated by the PF and read by the PNF. The PF (on the ground CM1) shall respond after

having checked the existing configuration. When both pilots have to respond “BOTH” is

indicated. Checklists are of the challenge/response type. The responding crewmember only

responds to the challenge after having checked the configuration. If the configuration does not

agree with the checklist response, he must take corrective action before answering. If corrective

action is not possible, the pilot modifies the response to reflect the actual situation (specific

answer). Whenever necessary, the other crewmember crosschecks the validity of the response.

The challenger waits for the response, before proceeding any further. For the checklist items

identified "AS RQRD", the response states the actual condition or configuration of the system

(for example "ANTI ICE"…………………."ON").

Note: Normal checklists are not "TO DO" lists. The flight crew should have performed the

actions, or checks, prior to going through the checklist. Obviously, the flight crew must take

corrective action on any item that is not in the proper condition, when it reads the list.

COMMUNICATION

• Cross-cockpit communications:

Cross-cockpit communication is VITAL for any two-pilot crew. Whenever a crewmember

makes any adjustments or changes to any information or equipment on the flight deck, he

must advise the other crewmember and obtain an acknowledgement. This includes such

items as: FMGS alterations, changes in speed or Mach, the tuning of navigation aids, flight

plan modifications, and the selection of such systems as anti-ice and pack low flow.

The flight crew must use headsets from engine startup to top of climb, and from top of descent

until the aircraft is parked.




REV 44 JUN 2010


Entire cockpit operational communication shall be preferebly performed in English (including

briefings).

• Sterile cockpit rule:

Below 10 000 feet, any non-essential conversation within the cockpit and between the cabin and

cockpit crews should be avoided. Adherence to this policy facilitates effective crew

communication, as well as communication of emergency or safety-related information by cabin

crew.

USE OF THE FLIGHT MANAGEMENT AND GUIDANCE

SYSTEM

The FMGC has 3 functions:

- The two FG (Flight Guidance) functions:

Autopilot (AP) and Flight Director (FD)

Autothrust (A/THR)

The FM (Flight Management) function.

AUTOPILOT AND FLIGHT DIRECTOR

The design objective of the AP and FD is to provide assistance to the crew throughout the flight:

- By freeing up the Pilot Flying from routine handling tasks, and thus providing time and

resources to assess the overall operational situation.

- By providing the Pilot Flying with adequate attitude or flight path orders, with the flight

director symbol on the Primary Flight Display, so as to facilitate accurate handling of the

aircraft.




REV 44 JUN 2010


The A P/FD guides the aircraft along the intended flight path, or at the intended speed,

according to the guidance modes engaged by the pilot on the Flight Control Unit (FCU).

(Example: NAV-HDG-V/S...)

The FCU is the short-term interface between the pilot and the FMGC, used to select guidance

targets and arm/engage guidance modes.

There are 2 types of modes and associated targets:

- Managed modes and targets: The aircraft is guided along the FMS lateral and vertical flight

plan and speed profile. These modes and targets are armed or engaged by pressing the FCU

knobs.

- Selected modes and targets: The aircraft is guided by selected targets according to the modes

selected on the FCU. These modes and targets are armed or engaged by the pilot by turning and

pulling the FCU knobs.

The PF's task is to set the desired modes and targets to fly the aircraft where he wants to go.

- If the autopilot is used, the PF may select the modes on the FCU.

- If the autopilot is not used, the PF asks the PNF to select the intended modes and targets on the

FCU.

The armed and engaged modes are indicated on the Flight Mode Annunciator (FMA) on top of

the PFD; the targets (SPD, ALT, HDG...) are indicated on the associated scales on the PFD.

- The crew must check the FCU-selected targets on the PFD.

- The crew must monitor the engaged/armed modes on the FMA

If the autopilot and/or flight director do not guide the aircraft where the crew is expecting:

- The PF should disengage the autopilot using the instinctive disconnect pushbutton on the

sidestick, and both pilots should delete the flight director symbols from the PDF with the flight

director pushbuttons located on the EFIS control panel, and fly the aircraft manually.

- The PF should not disengage the autopilot by sidestick override, except if instinctive reaction.

The autopilot may be used from after takeoff down to a late stage of the approach (including

autoland when permitted).




REV 44 JUN 2010


The autopilot may be used in most failure cases, when available:

- In case of engine failure, without any restriction including autoland on CATII/CATIII ILS.

- In case of abnormal configuration, down to 500 feet AGL in all modes.

When the autopilot is engaged, there is no backdriven feedback system to the sidestick, since

this is no longer necessary with fly-by-wire controls.

When the PF handflies the aircraft using the flight director, he must obey the flight director

orders; in other words, the crossbars must be centered, or the flight path vector must be on the

flight path director symbol so as to fly according to the selected modes and targets.

- If the PF does not wish to fly the flight director orders, both pilots must delete the flight

director symbols from the PFDs.

- When flying a visual approach, the flight directors should be deselected.

AUTOTHRUST (A/THR)

The A/THR's design objective is to provide assistance to the crew for thrust management

throughout the flight.

The A/THR may be engaged in one of the following modes, which automatically depend on the

AP/FD vertical modes:

- THRUST mode : The A/THR maintains a fixed thrust level (e.g. THR CLB or THR IDLE),

when the AP/FD guides the aircraft in climb or descent at a constant speed (e.g. CLB or DES

modes)

- SPEED/MACH mode: The A/THR varies the thrust, so as to maintain a target speed, when the

AP/FD guides the aircraft on a given trajectory (e.g. V/S, ALT, G/S modes).

When the A/THR is active, the thrust levers are set to detents (e.g. MCT, CLB); they remain in

this fixed position, while the A/THR varies or sets the thrust according to the active mode.

When the A/THR is active, the thrust lever position defines the maximum thrust available for

the A/THR.

The crew must monitor the A/THR to ensure correct operation:




REV 44 JUN 2010


- On the PFD, by checking the active mode on the FMA, the current speed versus the target

speed and most importantly, the speed trend vector on the speed scale.

- On the ECAM, by checking the thrust command symbols on the engine thrust indication (N1

or EPR).

In case the PF is not satisfied with the A/THR's operation, he must first set target thrust

manually, then disengage it using one of the instinctive disconnect pushbuttons located on the

thrust levers. He can then command the thrust manually, which is totally conventional.

NOTE: For more detailed THRUST CONTROL information see FCOM 3.04.70

FLIGHT MANAGEMENT SYSTEM (FMS)

The FMS is designed to provide assistance to the crew for:

- Navigation

- Flight planning

- Aircraft performance (optimum speeds/altitudes)

- Predictions

The FMS is an important long-term planning and management tool, linked to the AP/FD. When

the AP/FD is engaged in Managed modes, the aircraft is guided along the FMS flight plan, using

the FMS target speeds.

The Multipurpose Control and Display Unit (MCDU) is used to insert and retrieve data to/from

the FMS.

The FMS MCDU is a major interface between the pilots and the FMS. However, the various

FMS entries required at successive flight phases should not distract the crew from the general

flight conduct and duties.

The prime concern for the flight crew should be:

- is the aircraft flying as expected NOW?

- what is the aircraft expected to fly NEXT?




REV 44 JUN 2010


If any doubt is raised about the aircraft current trajectory, or proposed target speed..., the PF

must immediately select the appropriate modes and targets on the FCU (which automatically

disengages the managed modes).

Subsequently and if time permits, the PNF will analyze and correct whatever might have gone

wrong on the MCDU.

GENERAL RULES FOR GOOD USE OF THE FMGS

- Monitor the AP/FD/ATHR modes and engagement status on the FMA

- Any FMA modification must be announced.

- Monitor the result of any target selection performed on the FCU, on the related scales of

the PFD (e.g. SPD target, on SPD scale)

- Monitor the AP/FD/ATHR resulting guidance, on the basic flight instrument scales of

the PFD (HDG, SPD, ALT, attitude...)

- If the PF is not satisfied with the guidance he must:

• REVERT TO BASICS

• FLY THE AIRCRAFT where he wants to go.

The FMGS description and procedures are provided in the FCOM VOL 4

FMGS PILOT'S GUIDE.

TAKING OVER THE FLIGHT

CONTROLS




REV 44 JUN 2010


Because of the nature of "fly by wire" and "side stick" systems, the PNF should not make

control inputs to correct the PF's handling of the aircraft.

If a take-over becomes necessary during flight, the PNF must call clearly "I have control", and

press the sidestick priority pushbutton, keeping it pressed until the transfer of control is clearly

established.

OPERATIONAL GOLDEN RULES

1. The aircraft can be flown like any other aircraft

2. Fly, navigate, communicate - in that order

3. One head up at all times

4. Cross check the accuracy of the FMS

5. Know your FMA at all times

6. When things don’t go as expected - take over

7. Use the proper level of automation for the task

8. Practice task sharing and back-up each other

USE OF MEL

The MMEL is the Master Minimum Equipment List published by the aircraft manufacturer. It is

a certified document. It allows an aircraft to be dispatched with some equipment or some

functions inoperative. Some limitations, operational procedures and/or maintenance procedures

may have to be carried out.




REV 44 JUN 2010


The MEL is the Minimum Equipment List published by the operator and approved by local

authorities. It is necessary at least as restrictive as MMEL. The MMEL cannot be used as a

MEL.

The dispatch of an aircraft is possible with some secondary airframe part or parts missing. In

such a case, the crew will refer to the Configuration Deviation List (CDL) in the Airplane Flight

Manual.

ATA 100 FORMAT

Each item/equipment listed in the MEL is identified using ATA (Air Transport Association)

format. It is the official reference for the classification of the aircraft systems and/or functions.

This is achieved using six digits. For example 21-52-01 refers to:

21: ATA 21: Air conditioning

52: Air-cooling system

01: Air conditioning pack

MEL DESCRIPTION

The MEL consists of four parts:

1. ECAM warnings/ MEL entry

2. List of item which may be inoperative for dispatch

3. Associated operational procedures

4. Associated maintenance procedures

MEL OPERATIONAL USE

The MEL theoretically applies to revenue flights and the MEL should normally be used prior to

taxi out. However, if a failure occurs during taxi out, prior to the start of the take off roll, any

decision to continue the flight is subject to pilot judgement and good airmanship. The Captain

may refer to the MEL before any decision to continue the flight is taken; this is particularly true

for failures that affect take-off performance.




REV 44 JUN 2010


During preliminary cockpit preparation, RCL P/B is pressed for at least 3 seconds to recall any

previous cautions or warnings that have been cleared or cancelled. The technical logbook will be

consulted to confirm the indications are compatible with the MEL. A failure may occur

following a Circuit Breaker (C/B) disengagement. On the ground, do not re-engage any fuel

pump C/B. For all other C/Bs, if the flight crew coordinates the action with maintenance, they

may re-engage a tripped C/B, provided the cause of the tripped C/B is identified. MMEL section

0 is called ECAM warnings/MMEL entry. The purpose of this section is to help the crew to

determine the MMEL entry point when an ECAM caution/warning message is displayed. It gives

the relationship between ECAM caution/warnings and reference to MMEL items, if applicable.

If a failed item is not mentioned in the MEL, dispatch is not possible with the failed item.

However, items that do not affect the airworthiness of the aircraft, such as galley equipment,

entertainment systems or passenger convenience items, are also not mentioned. The dispatch

applicability of these items is not relevant to the MEL.

In most cases, if the failed item is mentioned, the dispatch is authorized provided all dispatch

conditions are fulfilled:

Check the rectification time interval has not expired.

Consider location where repair is possible.

(P) Means that an INOP placard is required

(O) Means a specific operational procedure or limitation is required.

(M) Means a specific maintenance procedure is required.

When the MEL asks both for maintenance and operational procedures, maintenance procedures

have to be performed before applying the operational procedures.




REV 44 JUN 2010


BRIEFINGS

CABIN CREW BRIEFING

Cabin crew briefing should be done by Captain before each originating flight, first flight of the

day or crew change. Captain information should cover the following items:

Flight duration;

Overwater flight if any;

Any turbulence area expected during flight;

Passenger anouncements which should be done by Cockpit crew;

Crosscomunication and entry requirements to the cockpit e.t.c.

Any other items relevant to intended flight may be covered on Captain consideration.

TAKE OFF

BRIEFING

The take-off briefing should be performed by the PF at the gate when the crew workload permits,

cockpit preparation has been completed and before engine start. It should be relevant, concise

and chronological. When a key parameter is mentioned by the PF, both crewmembers must

crosscheck that the parameter has been properly set or programmed. The items that may be

covered in the take off briefing, when applicable are as follows:




REV 44 JUN 2010


1.Miscellaneous.

Aircraft type and model (Tail strike awareness)

Aircraft technical status (MEL and CDL considerations, relevant OEB)

Check and review current DDL , CDL items significantly impact on the flight. Review if the MEL may

require crew operational procedure(O). Note if there any reduction in CATII/III or Autoland

capability.

- preferable RW for take-off or,

- if single RW operation configure aircraft for take-off with Packs-OFF or APU BLEED-ON if

available

Emergency Turn (RTOW chart)

If an Engine Out SID is dictated in the RTOW charts the published SID will need to be aborted and

Engine Out SID should be flown instead. If engine failure occurs just after airborne and NO EOSID

keep RW track and ensure earlier ATC communication is established. If an engine fails, the Noise

Abatement Procedure shall be cancelled.

Ensure that Engine Out SID is inserted in the Secondary Flight Plan if published. Consider TOGA in

heavy take-off conditions.

gear etc. It is recommended to insert performance data into SEC PERF APPROACH page or,

- if weather is below landing minimum or visibility less than 400m the diversion to the alternate

for take-off. Alternate for take-of should not be far than 1 hour flight time, approximately

380nm distance or,

- alternate RW for departure with modified SID and revised take-off data performance

items that must be cross-checked on associated display.

(*) PF will set ND display to PLAN mode with required range and CSTR and use scroll key to

check the whole FPLN thoroughly. PNF ensures that the inserted FPLN agrees with the planned

route.

R Discussion OEB(s) applicable

Abnormal operations

The decision to reject take-off and the stop is made by the Captain.

It is therefore recommended that the Captain keeps hands on the thrust levers until the aircraft

reaches V1, wheather he is Pilot Flying( PF) or Pilot Not Flying (PNF).

Reject or continue take-off in case of abnormalities or emergency is only Captain responsibility,

that is why he should confirm task sharing for the RTO and continued take-off events for each day of

flight or crew member changed as follow:

For any failure before V1:

CAPT will call STOP or GO .

In case of "STOP" CAPT will take stop actions:

thrust levers – idle

APPROACH

BRIEFING

The main objective of the approach briefing is for the PF to inform the PNF of his intended

course of action for the approach. The briefing should be practical and relevant to the actual

weather conditions expected. It should be concise and conducted in a logical manner. It should

be given at a time of low workload if possible, to enable the crew to concentrate on the content.

It is very important that any misunderstandings are resolved at this time.

• Actual and expected weather conditions, including runway conditions for takeoff and

climb-out.

• Significant weather enroute, including winds and temperatures.

• Terminal forecasts for destination and alternate airports.

• Actual weather for destination and alternates, for short range flights and recent

pastweather, if available.

• Survey of the meteorological conditions at airports along the planned route.

Weather can affect the choice of routing (for example, influence which route is quickest) and the

choice of flight level. The flight crew must also consider the possibility of runways being

contaminated at the departure and destination airfields. The flight crew must also verify ISA

deviations and enroute icing conditions, and must consider the possibility of holding due to

weather at the destination.

NOTAMS

- The flight crew must examine NOTAMs for changes to routings, unserviceable navaids,

availability of runways and approach aids etc, all of which may affect the final fuel requirement.




REV 44 JUN 2010


- In order to prevent the risks of projection of debris towards the trimmable horizontal stabilizer

and the elevators, it is not recommended to takeoff from runways in bad condition (loose surface,

under repair, covered with debris.....)

FLIGHT PLAN AND OPERATIONAL

REQUIREMENTS

- The crew will check the company flight plan for routing, altitudes, and flight time.

- The Captain will check the ATC flight plan and ensure that it:

• Is filled in and filed, in accordance with the prescribed procedures,

• It agrees with the fuel flight plan routing.

- The crew will check the estimated load figures, and will calculate the maximum allowable

takeoff and landing weights.

OPTIMUM FLIGHT

LEVEL

The flight crew should choose a flight level that is as close to the optimum as possible. To

obtain the optimum flight level, use the chart in the QRH or in the FCOM (Refer to FCOM

2.05.20).

As a general rule, an altitude that is 4000 feet below the optimum produces a significant penalty

(approximately 5 % of fuel). Flight 8000 feet below the optimum altitude produces a penalty of

more than 10 % against trip fuel. (The usual contingency allowance is 5 %).

FUEL




REV 44 JUN 2010


REQUIREMENTS

COMPUTERIZED FLIGHT PLAN CHECK

In most cases the flight crew uses a computer-derived flight plan to obtain the correct fuel

requirements.

Although these computerized requirements are normally accurate, the flight crew must check

them for gross errors.

The easiest way to do this is to use the "Quick Determination of F-PLN" tables in FCOM

2.05.40.

Although the aircraft will fly at ECON MACH that is based on the cost index, the 0.78 Mach

table is accurate enough to permit the crew to check for gross error. Ensure that both the captain

and the first officer have verified that the fuel calculations and required fuel on board are correct

and that the figure complies with the applicable regulations.

*Note: It’s a Company Policy that PNF is in full responsibility:

- for A/C refueling, - refueling coupling check, and - all refueling paper bill confirmations. All thease actions must be fulfilled after completing of refueling procedure and checks

FUEL TRANSPORTATION

The Flight crew must check th policy covering the «tankering» of fuel on sectors where there is

favourable fuel price diferential or operational requirement.

Remember that carring unnecessary exra fuel increases the fuel consumption for that sector and

therefore reduces the economy of the operation (lower flex temperature, more tire wear, lower

optimum altitude etc.)

REJECTED TAKEOFF

GENERAL

The decision to reject the takeoff and the stop action is made by the captain.

Therefore the captain should keep his hand on the thrust levers until V1 is reached whether he is

PF or PNF.

As soon as he decides to abort, he calls "STOP", takes over, and performs the stop actions. It is

impossible to list all the factors that could lead to the decision to abort the takeoff, but in order to

help in the decision process; the ECAM inhibits the warnings that are not paramount from 80

knots to 1500 feet (or 2 minutes after lift-off, whichever occurs first).

Above 100 knots, rejecting the takeoff becomes a serious action that may lead to a hazardous

situation.

Therefore, as speed approaches V1, the pilot should be "go-minded" if none of the main failures

cited below ("Above 100 knots and below V1") has occurred.




REV 44 JUN 2010


DECISION MANAGEMENT

• Below 100 knots

The decision to reject the takeoff may be taken at the discretion of the captain, according to the

circumstances. Although we cannot list all the causes, the captain should seriously consider

discontinuing the take-off if any ECAM warning is activated.

Note: The speed of 100 knots is not critical: it was chosen in order to help the captain make his

decision and avoid unnecessary stops from high speed.

• Above 100 knots and below V1

Rejecting the takeoff at these speeds is a more serious matter, particularly on slippery runways. It

could lead to a hazardous situation if the speed is approaching V1. Very few situations should

lead to the decision to reject the takeoff. The main ones are:

1 . Fire warning or severe damage

2. Sudden loss of engine thrust

3. Malfunctions or conditions that give unambiguous indications that the aircraft will not

fly safely.

4. Any red ECAM warning:

5. Any amber ECAM caution listed below

- F/CTL SIDESTICK FAULT;

- ENG FAIL;

- ENG REVERSER FAULT;

- ENG REVERSER UNLOCKED.

Exceeding the EGT red line or nose gear vibration should not lead to an RTO above 100 knots.

In case of tire failure between V1 minus 20 knots and V1: Unless debris from the tires has

caused serious engine anomalies, it is far better to getairborne, reduce the fuel load and land with

a full runway length available.

The call V1 has precedence over any other call.




REV 44 JUN 2010


• Above V1

Take-off must be continued because it may not be possible to stop the aircraft on the remaining

runway.

REVERSERS: Full reverse may be used until a complete stop. But, if there is enough runway

available at the end of the deceleration, it is preferable to reduce reverse thrust when passing 70

knots.




REV 44 JUN 2010





REV 44 JUN 2010


ENG FAILURE AFTER V1

- If an engine fails after the aircraft passes V1, the takeoff must be continued.

- Use rudder conventionally to stay on the runway centerline.

- At VR, rotate the aircraft smoothly using a continuous pitch rate to a pitch attitude of 12.5

degrees. After liftoff, follow the Speed Reference System (SRS).

- When airborne with a positive rate of climb, select the landing gear up.

- Use rudder to prevent yaw. Shortly after lift-off, β target will appear. Adjust rudder position to

zero the . β target. Control heading conventionally with bank, keeping the β target at zero with

rudder.

- Consider the use of TOGA thrust.

- Consider the use of autopilot.

- At 400 feet minimum, apply the ECAM procedure

- At acceleration height, level off and allow the speed to increase.

• At F speed select CONF 1.

• At S speed select CONF 0.

- When the flap handle is at zero, . target reverts to side-slip indication. Center the sideslip

indication conventionally.

- At green dot speed (engine-out operating speed in clean configuration) resume the climb using

maximum continuous thrust and maintain green dot speed. (If already in the FLX/MCT gate,

move to CL and back to MCT).

- MAXIMUM TAKEOFF THRUST IS ONLY ALLOWED FOR 10 MINUTES.




REV 44 JUN 2010


ENGINE FAILURE DURING INITIAL CLIMB-OUT

- Proceed as above. However, if the failure occurs above V2 maintain the SRS commanded

attitude (or the speed reached after recovery). In any case, the minimum speed must be equal to

V2.

APPROACH WITH ONE ENG INOP

For performance reasons, do not extend flap full until established on a final descent to landing.

If a level off is expected during final approach, perform the approach and landing in CONF 3.




REV 44 JUN 2010


ENG FAILURE AFTER V1 - CONTINUED TAKEOFF (CONT'D)

ENGINE OPERATION AT MAX TO. THRUST IS LIMITED TO 10 MINUTES




REV 44 JUN 2010


FLIGHT PREPARATION FOR CAT II / III OPERATIONS.

In addition to normal flight preparation, the following planning and preparation must be

performed when CAT II or CAT III approaches are envisaged.

-Review NOTAMS to make sure that the destination airport still meets visual or non-visual CAT

Il or CAT III requirements:

- Runway and approach lighting,

- Radio navaid availability,

- RVR equipment availability, etc

- Aircraft status: check that required equipment for CAT II or CAT III approaches are operative.

The required equipment list is given in the FCOM and in the AFM.

When the aircraft log book is available, confirm that no write-up during previous flights affects

equipment required for CAT II / CAT III. A maintenance release statement for CAT II / CAT Ill

may be indicated in the log book according to «Donbassaero» policy.

- Crew qualification and currency must be reviewed (both CAPT and F/0 must be qualified and

current).

- Weather information: check that the weather forecast at destination is within airline and crew

operating minima. If the forecast is below CAT I minima, verify that alternate weather forecasts

are appropriate to the available approach means and at least equal or better than CAT I minima.

- Fuel planning: additional extra fuel should be considered for possible approach delays.

APPROACH PREPARATION

Aircraft Status

Check on ECAM STATUS page that the required landing capability is available. Although it is

not required to check equipment that is not monitored by the system, if any of this equipment is

seen inoperative (flag), the landing capability will be reduced.

Check AUTOLAND WARNING light.




REV 44 JUN 2010


Weather

Check weather conditions at destination and at alternates. Required RVR values must

be available for CAT II/III approaches. The selected alternate must have weather conditions

equal to or better than CAT I.

Approach ban

Policy regarding an approach ban may differ from country to country. Usually the final

approach segment may not be continued beyond the OM or equivalent DME distance if

the reported RVR is below the published minima for the required transmissometers.

After OM or equivalent, if RVR becomes lower than the minima, the approach may be

continued.

ATC calls

Unless LVP are reported active by ATIS, clearance to carry out a CAT II or CAT III

approach must be requested from ATC, who will check the status of the ILS and lighting and

protect the sensitive areas from incursion by aircraft or vehicles. Such an approach may not be

undertaken until the clearance has been received. Before the outer marker, the required RVR

values should be transmitted.

Seat position

The correct seat adjustment is essential in order to take full advantage of the visibility

over the nose. The seat is correctly adjusted when the pilots eyes are in line with the red and

white balls located above the glareshield.

Use of landing lights

At night in low visibility conditions, landing lights can be detrimental to the

acquisition of visual references. Reflected light from water droplets or snow may actually reduce

visibility. Landing lights would therefore not normally be used in CAT ll or CAT III weather

conditions.




REV 44 JUN 2010


CAT II or CAT III crew briefing

The briefing should include the normal items as for any IFR arrival and in addition

the following subjects should be covered prior to the first approach:

−destination and alternate weather,

−airfield and runway operational status CAT II / CAT III, etc.

−aircraft systems status and capacity,

−brief review of task sharing,

−review approach procedure (stabilized or decelerated),

−review applicable minima (performance page), go-around procedure, ATC calls,

−brief review of procedure in case of malfunction below 1000ft,

−optimum seat position and reminder to set cockpit lights when appropriate

APPROACH PROCEDURES

The procedures given in FCOM for CAT II and CAT III approaches make the best

use of the automatic system of the aircraft.

TASK SHARING

CM1 and CM2 task sharing must be use for a CAT II/III approaches. The task sharing proposed

here below is one example of how to conduct a CAT II/III approach. Before commence the

approach the AFM procedures should be observed.

For the “Donbassaero” the required task sharing for a CAT II / CAT III

approach is that CM1 is PF and CM2 is PNF.

The workload is distributed in such a way that the CM1 primary tasks are supervising

and decision making, and the CM2 primary task is monitoring operation of the

automatic system.

In summary the tasks are shared as follows:




REV 44 JUN 2010


CM1 - has hands on controls and thrust levers throughout the approach, landing or go-around;

- makes FCU selections (if any);

- takes manual control in the event of AP disconnection ;

- monitors flight instruments.

Approaching DH:

- starts to look for visual references, progressively increasing external scanning as DH is

approached. If no DH procedure is used, the PF will nevertheless look for visual references.

At or before DH (if his decision is to continue):

- calls CONTINUE " ;

- scans mostly head-up to monitor the flight path and flare(in CAT II or CAT III A) or the

position on the runway (in CAT IIIB) by visual references;

- monitors thrust reduction , at "RETARD" call-out, sets thrust levers to idle ;

- selects and controls reverse thrust;

- disengages autopilot when taxi speed is reached.

CM2 - monitors flight instruments head-down throughout approach, go-around or landing until

rollout is completed;

- calls any deviation or failure warning ;

- calls barometric heights as required, and monitors auto call-out or calls radio heights including

"100 above" ;

- monitors FMA and calls mode changes as required.

At DH (identified by aural and visual warning):

- if decision is not announced by CM1, calls "MINIMUM";

- if no response from CM1, initiates a go-around.

CM1 - if no failure by AH, calls "CONTINUE ";

- monitors flare by flight instruments;




REV 44 JUN 2010


- monitors lateral guidance during flare by yaw bar on PDF ;

- monitors automatic ground roll by scanning alternately instruments and external references.

IF DECISION IS TO GO AROUND:

CM1 - calls "GO-AROUND – FLAPS";

- initiates go-around by setting thrust levers to TOGA;

- monitors rotation on PFD;

- checks positive climb (V/S and RA);

- commands configuration changes.

CM2 - Standard Operating Procedures

VISUAL REFERENCES

Operations with DH

It should be stressed that the DH is the lower limit of the decision zone during

which, in limiting conditions, the CM1 will be assessing the visual references. CM1

should come to this zone prepared for a go around but with no pre-established

judgement. CM1 should make a decision according to the quality of the approach

and the way the visual references develop as DH is approached.

a) CAT II Operations

In CAT II operations the conditions required at DH to continue the approach are that

the visual references should be adequate to monitor the continued approach and

landing, and that the flight path should be acceptable. If both these conditions are

not satisfied, it is mandatory to initiate a go around.




REV 44 JUN 2010


The visual references required at DH in CAT II operations to continue the approach

may be any of the following:

−a segment of the approach light system,

−the runway threshold,

−the touchdown zone.

b) CAT III Operations

In CAT III operations with DH, the condition required at DH is that there should be

visual references, which confirm that the aircraft is over the touchdown zone. Go

around is mandatory if the visual references do not confirm this.

CAT III without DH

For this category of operation, the decision to continue does not depend on visual

references, even though a minimum RVR is specified (see OPERATING MINIMA).

It is nevertheless good airmanship to confirm aircraft position with available visual

references. However, the decision depends only on the operational status of the

aircraft and ground equipment. If a failure occurs prior to reaching the AH, a

go-around will be made. A go around must nevertheless be performed if the

autoland warning is triggered below AH.

LOSS OF VISUAL REFERENCES

A. Operations with DH - before touchdown

If the decision to continue has been made and the visual references subsequently

become insufficient (for the appropriate category), or the flight path deviates

unacceptably, a go-around must be initiated (a go around initiated below the MABH,

whether auto or manual, may result in ground contact).




REV 44 JUN 2010


NOTE: If the touchdown occurs after GA is engaged the AP remains engaged in

that mode, and ATHR remains in TOGA. Ground spoilers and auto-brake are inhibited.

B. Operations with and without DH - after touchdown

If the visual references are lost after touchdown, a go-around should not be attempted.

The rollout should be continued with AP in ROLLOUT mode down to taxi speed.

FLIGHT PARAMETERS DEVIATION CALLS

These calls would normally be made by the PNF and acknowledged by the PF.

However, any crewmember that sees a deviation outside the above limits should make the

appropriate call.

If any of these limits are exceeded approaching DH, a go-around should be

considered.

FAILURES AND ASSOCIATED ACTIONS

GENERAL

In general there are three possible responses to the failure of any system, instrument or element

during the approach.

−CONTINUE the approach to the planned minima.

−REVERT to higher minima and proceed to a new DH(above 1000ft).

−GO AROUND and reassess the capability.

The nature of the failure and the point of its occurrence will determine which response is

appropriate.

As a general rule, if a failure occurs above 1000ft AGL the approach may be

continued reverting to a higher DH, providing the appropriate conditions are met

(refer to "DOWNGRADING CONDITION").

Below 1000ft (and down to AH when in CAT III DUAL) the occurrence of any failure




REV 44 JUN 2010


implies a go-around, and a reassessment of the system capability. Another approach may then be

undertaken to the appropriate minima for the given aircraft status.

It has been considered that below 1000ft, not enough time is available for the crew

to perform the necessary switching, to check system configuration and limitations and brief for

minima.

In CAT III DUAL, in general, a single failure (for example one AP failure or one engine failure)

below AH does not necessitate a go-around.

But a go-around is required if the autoland warning is triggered.

ABNORMAL PROCEDURES

The required procedures following failures during CAT II or CAT III approaches are provided in

the Approved Flight Manual (AFM). These procedures have been established and approved

during the aircraft CAT Il / CAT III certification.

It has been found that a simplification of the AFM abnormal procedures was desirable for actual

operation. Therefore, these simplified abnormal procedures, which are necessarily more

conservative, are published in the FCOM. Operators may always refer to AFM for detailed

information if they want to develop their own abnormal procedures.

The abnormal procedures can be classified into two groups

1. Failures leading to a downgrading of capability as displayed on FMA and

ECAM with an associated specific audio warning (triple click).

2. Failures that do not trigger a downgrading of capability but are signaled by

other effects (Flag, ECAM warning, amber caution and associated audio warnings).

It should be noted that some failures might trigger ECAM warnings, cautions and a

downgrading of capability.

The FCOM describes what should be the crew responses to failures in function to

the height.




REV 44 JUN 2010


Above 1000ft:

* DOWNGRADING CONDITIONS

a) Downgrading from CAT 3 to CAT 2 is permitted only if

−ECAM actions are completed,

−RVR is at least equal to CAT II minima,

−Briefing is amended to include CAT II procedure and DH.

−Decision to downgrade is completed above 1000ft AGL,

b) Downgrading from CAT 2 to CAT 1 permitted only if

−ECAM actions are completed,

−at least one FD is available,

−RVR is at least equal to CAT I minima,

−briefing is amended to include CAT 1 procedure and DH.

−the decision to downgrade is completed above 1000ft AGL,

Note: switching from one AP to another before 1000ft AGL is permitted.

Below 1000ft and above DH (for CAT 2 or CAT 3 SINGLE) or above AH (for CAT 3

DUAL) a go-around must be performed in case of:

−ALPHA FLOOR activation,

−loss of AP (cavalry charge),

−downgrading of capability (triple click),

−amber caution (single chime),

−engine failure.

At 350ft* RA




REV 44 JUN 2010


LAND must be displayed on FMA and runway course must be checked. If runway course is

incorrect or LAND does not appear, a go-around must be performed. If conditions permit, a

CAT II approach with AP disconnection no later than 80ft may be performed.

LAND is displayed if LOC and GS track modes are active and at least one RA is available.

These conditions need to be obtained no later than 350ft AGL to allow a satisfactory automatic

landing.

* Depending on terrain profile before the runway LAND mode may appear at lower

height. This can be acceptable provided it has been demonstrated that automatic

landing is satisfactory.

At 200ft RA and below

Any AUTOLAND warning requires an immediate go-around.

If visual references are sufficient and a manual landing is possible, the PF may decide to land

manually.

At flare height

If FLARE does not come up on FMA, a go-around must be performed.

If visual references are sufficient and a manual landing is possible, the PF may decide to

complete the landing.

After touchdown

In case of anti-skid or nose wheel steering failure, disconnect AP and take manualcontrol. If

automatic rollout control is not satisfactory, disconnect the AP immediately.
