NAIFR SAP Fuel .
For NAIFR operations, Dispatch will plan additional fuel for a go-around, 20 nm downwind, and a 2nd approach. 2nd approach calculation is based on 12 minutes of fuel burn at nominal landing weights
81
SUPP Fuel
Flights that would otherwise arrive with less than 1 800 kg EFOB will have SUPP fuel added to ensure minimum EFOB is maintained.
82
The maximum altimeter difference is:
‐ ±20 ft between both PFDS And depending on the aircraft configuration: ‐ ±100 ft between ISIS and PFDs, or ‐ ±300 ft between mechanical standby altimeter and PFDs. Note: For RVSM operation, the maximum allowable difference between Captain’s and F/O’s altitude display and field elevation is 75 feet.
83
When to advise load of fuel discrepancy
fuel load error ≥ 300 kg.
84
Passenger load tolerance
Passenger zone tolerance is ±3. Total passenger tolerance is ±6
85
First flight brake check psi
Confirm pressure between 2 000 PSI and 2 700 PSI with full pedal deflection. ‐ Pressure limited to 1 000 PSI if tow pin is not inserted for ABCU equipped aircraft.
86
Cold engine fuel leak procedure
the ground crew reports a fuel leak from the engine drain mast, run the engine at idle for 5 min. If the leak rate decreases to less than 60 drops/minute, the aircraft can be dispatched without maintenance action. If the leak rate continues to exceed 60 drops/minute, shut down the affected engine and then restart. If the leak continues in excess of 60 drops/minute after 5 min, shut down the engine and advise maintenance personnel to investigate the leakage source.
87
Time to run engines at idle after start
At least 2 min before advancing the thrust lever to high power. Taxi time at idle may be included in the warm-up period. The last engine started must run for at least 2 min before takeoff initiation
88
The normal maximum taxi speed should be
30 kt in a straight line, 10 kt for a sharp turn.
89
At the Captain's discretion the First Officer selects IGN if:
‐ The runway has standing water, or ‐ Heavy rain is falling, or ‐ Heavy rain or moderate turbulence is expected after takeoff
90

91
Brake temp limits
The temperature difference between two brakes of a gear is more than 150 °C, and the temperature of one of these brakes is above or equal to 600 °C, or • The temperature difference between two brakes of a gear is more than 150 °C, and the temperature of one of these brakes is below or equal to 60 °C, or • The difference between the average temperature of the left gear brakes and right brakes is above or equal to 200 °C, or • The temperature of one brake exceeds 900 °C [A319][A320] or 800 °C [A321].
