LOW
- long runway but not in low vis
CAPT IRS GS Check
> 15 kts - logbook entry. Excessive deviation must be confirmed over two consecutive legs.
21 kts - logbook entry stating that the IR portion of the ADIRU has failed.

*and one is >600 or <60
mean delta of >200
> 900 (321 >800)
Notify Station Handlers when >500
CBs - Green vs Black
Green - monitored by FWC, if popped will cause ECAM
Black - Feed components that are monitored by FWC, if popped the component will cause ECAM
Blue Hyd
Blue Hyd - is able to activate all types of flt control surfaces … RAT will add pressure to blue system.
Flt Ctrl Computers
normally -
ELAC - pitch and roll (SEC - backup)
FAC - rudder
Spoilers
1-5 - ground spoilers
2-4 - speed brakes
2-5 - roll assist
Speed Brakes
320 - limited to 1/2 with AP on
319/321 - can use full with AP on
319/320 (321) - retract brakes before Flaps Full (3) to avoid unexpected pitch down when automatic retraction occurs.
When speed brakes deployed Flaps extension beyond 1 may induce slight temp roll moment.
Non-Precision Approaches with OEI
OEI RNAV(GPS) - must be hand flown.
OEI VOR or NDB - hand flown OK but to use AP must be flown selected/selected.
OEI LOC - coupled selected - AP OK

Run-up Requirements
If icing conditions exceed 30 minutes:
70% N1 min for approx 30s (30min interval and prior to higher thrust operation).
In FZRA, FZDZ, FZFG or +SN - additional ice shedding shall be conducted at intervals not to exceed 10 minutes (70% N1 no dwell time) unless surface conditions and operations do not permit in which case thrust settings shall be as high as practical.
Advise ATC if a run-up in position is required.
