A320 Mem - ACA Flashcards
Rejected T/O
Abnormality prior to V1
I will / you will drill
No auto-brakes if T/O didn’t reach 72kts (dir control will be challenging in strong x-wind!)
Hot brakes likely
Stop on runway if there is any chance of requiring an evac
Eng Fire/Fail after V1
I will / you will drill
FABCOTS
LBPIA
Rapid depressurization
Emergency descent
I will / you will drill
SOLO Summary:
Masks - on
Signs - on
Notify ATC, PA as initiating emergency descent then notify ATC/PA
(Alt,hdg,spd,TL,spd brk (caution))
Rapid dep - cabin >2000’/min
Pulsing green >8800 red>9550
GA
“GA Flaps” …. “Positive Rate”
“Gear-Up”
Review Briefing
“GA FLAPS”, TOGA, Pitch, A/P, ATHR, NAV or HDG
TCAS
If RA “Climb” or “Increase Climb” on final approach after FAF or <1000’ AGL - GA FLAPS!
ND Scale … down
FDs … Off
Ext Lights … ON
LOOK OUT!
Do not maneuver on TA alone.
IF RA … PF fly, PM “TCAS RA” to ATC
Manoeuvre within 5 secs (2.5 sec for reversal)
When clear …advise ATC … “clear of conflict” …. or “unable, TCAS RA”
GPWS, WINDSHEAR or STALL RECOVERY will always take precedence.
Windshear Ahead
predictive
FINS 241-242, 461-464, 473
*“WINDSHEAR AHEAD” or “GA WINDSHEAR”
May be disregarded if positive verification of no haz.
*“WINDSHEAR” always react
W/S AHEAD RED on PFD
“WINDSHEAR AHEAD, WINDSHEAR AHEAD”
*delay T/O, or select most fav rwy
*inhibited 100 until 50’
*airborne “FIREWALL” (slat/flap can be changed if not into w/s), AP (if on) keep on, follow SRS.
*landing - “FIREWALL” … TOGA preform G/A
W/S AHEAD AMBER on PFD
Apply precautionary measures (use TOGA for T/O)
LDG - Flap 3, managed speed, AP, radar, observations etc
Remember “WINDSHEAR” - ALWAYS react!
“FIREWALL” - TOGA
AP - if on keep on, follow SRS
Windshear
Some FINS - pilot observation only
Some FINS red flag on PFD “Winshear” + aural
If >V1 - "Firewall" - TOGA
- at VR rotate and follow SRS
- initial 17.5 (no FD) full back if necessary
If airborne, init climb or ldg
- "Firewall" - TOGA
- AP keep on if on, follow SRS
- keep config until clear
GPWS/EGPWS
Cautions: PULL UP, TERRAIN TERRAIN PULL UP, TERRAIN AHEAD PULL UP, OBSTACLE AHEAD PULL UP
Warnings: TERRAIN TERRAIN, TOO LOW TERRAIN, CAUTION TERRAIN, TERRAIN AHEAD, OBSTACLE AHEAD
If day VFR and no hazard exists - warning may be considered cautionary, otherwise:
PF "Firewall" - TOGA AP - off Pitch up - FULL Speed Brake Lever - check retracted Bank - wings level or adjust If alt/dct law respect stall If OEI be gentle as Vmca may be > Vamax When Clear "GA FLAPS"
PM
Ensure SPD-BRK retracted and spoilers disarmed.
Callout flt path
SINK RATE, GLIDESLOPE
>1000 AGL - Flight Plath adjust
<1000 AGL - GA Flaps
TOO LOW GEAR, TOO LOW FLAPS
GA Flaps
DON’T SINK
Flight Path adjust
Stall Recovery
Shouldn’t happen in normal law.
Alt or Dct law. “Stall, Stall, Stall” and/or Buffet
PF "STALL" Apply nose down Roll wings level When 'broke' increase thrust smoothly SPD-BRK Retract Smoothly recover If clean and <20,000' "Flaps 1" When clear "GA FLAPS"
PM
Monitor or call out deviations
Stall recovery at liftoff
May happen in Normal Law if AOA probe damaged.
PF
“Stall”…TOGA
Pitch…15
Roll wings Level
PM - Callout flt path
When safe flt path and speed regained,
if continues consider it spurious
ENG Fail During High Alt Cruise
AP and ATHR ON and A/C > EO Rec alt
Call for ECAM action
- TL - MCT/ATHR Off
- SPEED - Green dot and PULL
- HDG - Pull and turn as req
- ALT - Max eng out and pull.
- ATC - advise of initial intentions
Choose a strategy.
AOM 1.02.10
Unreliable Speed Indication
ADR check procedure
AP/FD - OFF A/THR - OFF less TR-alt 15/TOGA less 10,000' 10/climb greater 10,000' 5/climb Flaps 0,1,2,3 - maintain config Flaps Full - config 3 SPD-BRK - check retracted L/G - up When safe - level for troubleshooting.
Loss of Braking
REV … MAX
Brake Pedals … Release
A/SKID N/W STRG … OFF
Brake Pedals … Press (with care) 1000 PSI
(Alternate braking)
If still no braking:
Parking Brake … short and successive applications.
AOM 1.02.10 / QRH
Eng Out Oceanic Diversion
*Turn >=45deg to II at 15nm, minimize descent until 15mn
*Drills and time-critical checklists
*Turn on ext lights
*Declare emergency, req clnc, broadcast intentions 121.5
when established on a 15nm II track:
*Expedite descent to < FL280
All Eng Oceanic Diversion
*Drills and time-critical checklists
*Turn on ext lights
*Declare emergency, req clnc, broadcast intentions 121.5
if unable clnc in timely manner:
*Turn >=45deg to II at 15nm, then +/- 500’ when passing 10mn
Emergency During Pushback
Gnd crew - “EMERGENCY EMERGENCY SET BRAKES SET BRAKES” (HS - Abruptly extends arms and wands to top of head, crossing wands)
Flt crew - “EMERGENCY EMERGENCY STOP PUSHBACK STOP PUSHBACK” (HS - Cross both arms in front of face then clench fists)
PRM Breakout
=Both pilots trained (sim and video), read “attention all users”.
=Capt hand flown for initial “breakout”.
=When contacting tower - listen to monitor FREQ and preset heading 30 left or 30 right (left or right parallel rwy)
- Capt - AP off - hand fly
- FO - set hdg and pull
- FO - set alt and pull
- Capt - thrust levers as req (if TOGA reselect hdg)
- AP on
- In climb or level - Sel speed green dot and pull
- “GA FLAPS”
ADR 1+2+3
Use QRH
ECAM may show two dual ARD failures … do paper checklist.
SMOKE/FUMES/AVNCS SMOKE
The QRH procedure includes all the steps from AVNCS SMOKE ECAM (may also see on overhead panel: GEN 1 LINE “smoke” and BLOWER “fault”, EXTRACT “Fault”)
LAND ASAP always first thought
QRH checklist always applied before AVNCS SMOKE ECAM
Understand how the different types of smoke could manifest … common actions (1st 7 steps in QRH)
Other ECAM Smoke (cargo, lav):
Do ECAM first, if doubt about origin consider QRH precudure
AOM 1.02.10
amber LAND ASAP amber
ECAM
- consider landing at the nearest suitable airport.
The suitability criteria should be defined in accordance with the operator’s policy.
red LAND ASAP red
ECAM
- land ASAP at the nearest airport at which a safe landing can be made.
Is applicable to a time critical situation.
Reject > 100 kts
Very few situ should lead to reject:
(T/O inhibit 80kts-1500’ or 2 mins)
= FIRE wrng or severe damage
= Sudden loss of thrust
= Situ or cond where a/c is not safe to fly
= ANY RED ECAM
= Amber ECAM - F/CTL SIDESTICK FAULT
- ENG 1(2) FAIL
- ENG 1(2) REVERSER FAULT
- ENG 1(2) REVERSER UNLOCKED
G/S from above
Only when established on LOC
at least CONFIG 2, L/G down, SLOW DOWN!
APP mode … ARM/Check Armed
FCU ALT … Set above (MA ALT if below it)
(Speed Push?!)
V/S Mode … Select 1500’ down initially more is OK (watch VFE)
If interception prior to 1000’ set MA Alt
If no interception prior to 1000’ set MA Alt - GA FLAPS!

ECAM Warning Logic
Primary Failure - System failure that costs the use of other items or systems. Left side title boxed.
Secondary Failure - result of primary failure. Right side with *asterisk.
Independent Failure - Isolated system failure. Left side underlined.
Level 3 - RED - Immediate action
Level 2 - AMBER with chime - awareness not immediate action
Level 1 - AMBER no chime - requires crew monitoring.
Class I - upper ECAM
Class II - lower right side.
Class III - read by maint in the CFDIU
