OEI - DRIFTDOWN
- 3 Strategies for OEI drift-down
- Describe the strategy
- Where is the information found
- What is the procedure approaching level off
- What speed is flown at level off
- Where are performance tables found if EO CLR is accidentally selected on the MCDU
A
- Standard Strategy M.78/300
REC MAX EO cruise altitude
LRC with Anti Ice OFF,
MCDU PROG page, or
QRH Gross Ceiling at LRC with Anti Ice Off
When V/S reduces to 500 ft/min select V/S 500 ft/ min until level off
Fly at LRC (MCDU and QRH) - Obstacle Strategy
Used for clearing obstacles
Use G/DOT and altitude on MCDU PERF page
At level off continue with driftdown as to fly an ascending profile as fuel is burnt off
After clear of obstacles accelerate to LRC and
Continue driftdown, at level off engage A/THR - Fixed Strategy
Used for ETOPS when established before dispatch

Acceleration Altitude
Any change to vertical mode
- ALT*, V/S-0, OP CLB (May be result of Selected Speed) - SRS mode disengages as per points above during a Go Around
- SRS remains engaged and aircraft does not accelerate until another vertical mode is selected
- During a go around Go Around phase ends
Activating Approach Phase
Enabling Alternate
Lateral Deviation from a waypoint and selecting a new destination - What is the SRS target: Current speed up to VLS +25
- What about OEI: Current speed up to VLS +15
- TO; targets VLS+10, OEI current up to VLS+15
