APU

APU GENERATORS On ground, each APU generator can supply up to 120 KVA. On ground, both APU generators can operate. In flight, up to 22 500 ft, only one APU generator can operate. APU BLEED AIR SUPPLY APU bleed air can be supplied up to 22 500 ft, provided the aircraft airspeed is below M 0.56. Use of APU bleed air for wing anti-ice is not permitted.

EA Engine STARTER

EA Eng Three periods of 5 min continuous starter use are possible When the starter accumulates 15 min of use, the starter must cool down for 30 min before a new engine start is attempted. If the N2 is above 25 %, no running engagement of the starter is possible.

RR Engine Starter

Maximum continuous starter operation is 5 min: Two consecutive cycles of 2 min duration maximum, plus one additional cycle of 1 min, with a run down to zero N3 between each cycle, or One 5 min cycle. Wait 30 min after the last cycle to allow the starter to cool. No running engagement of the starter when the N3 is above 10 % on ground, or 30 % in flight.

MAXIMUM ALTITUDE FLAPS/SLATS EXTENDED

Max Alt = 20 000Ft

MINIMUM FUEL TEMPERATURE

MAXIMUM FUEL TEMPERATURE

The maximum fuel temperature is +53 °C.

MAXIMUM ALLOWED WING FUEL IMBALANCE

Feed Tanks 1-2-3-4 = 3000kg Left/Right Inner Tk = 3000kg Left/Right Mid Tk = 2500kg Left/Right Outer Tk = 1200kg

MINIMUM FUEL QUANTITY BEFORE PUSHBACK

Before pushback, if at least one fuel transfer tank is not empty, ensure that the fuel quantity in each feed tank is more than 4 000 kg. Note: If the fuel quantity in one or more feed tanks is less than 4 000 kg with fuel available in transfer tanks, perform an automatic ground transfer using the AUTO GND XFR pb-sw to adjust feed tanks fuel distribution.

BRAKE TEMPERATURE

Maximum brake temperature for takeoff. = 300 °C

BWS FAULT

In the case of BWS Fault: 180 ° turn on a 60 m (200 ft) wide runway is forbidden, 180 ° turn on a turn pad is not recommended if the runway is wet.

INERTIAL REFERENCE SYSTEM

Ground alignment of the IRS is possible in latitudes between 82 ° North and 78.25 ° South. MAGNETIC (MAG) / TRUE REFERENCE In NAV mode, the IR will not provide valid magnetic heading and magnetic track angle: North of 82 ° North North of 73 ° North between 90 ° and 120 ° West (magnetic polar region) South of 60 ° South.

T.O PERF GIVES TOGA RESULTS INSTEAD OF FLEX RESULTS

When the flight crew suspects that T.O PERF should give FLEX results, it is possible to compute it again with an increased TOW of 100 kg.

TAILWIND LIMITATION ABOVE 10KT OF TAILWIND

LDG PERF does not take into account the 10 kt tailwind limitation for computations: In CONF 3 On airports with a ZP above 8 000 ft.

BTV

Precision on runway condition: Any wet runway including a PFC or grooved surface must be considered wet Any wet runway declared as Slippery Wet must be considered contaminated Any wet runway associated with a Braking Performance Level less than "5 - Good" must be considered contaminated. Refer to BTV cannot be used in the case of ECAM alert that impact the landing performance.
