——-
A319-132 For landing with a tailwind greater than 10 kt, FLAPS FULL is recommended.

Q

Wind: Which wind limitations exist for passenger and cargo doors operation: (4 Limits)

A

The following are the wind limitations for passenger and cargo doors operation:

  • The maximum wind for passenger door operation is 65 kt
  • The maximum wind for FWD and AFT cargo door operation is 40 kt (or 50 kt, if the aircraft nose is into the wind, or if the FWD and aft cargo doors are on the leeward side)
  • The FWD and AFT cargo doors must be closed before the wind speed exceeds 65 kt.

Best practice: When examining ATIS for departure check the wind and consider following limits:

  • If wind > 10 kt: When expecting a start abort due to tailwind > 10 kt during engine start a manual start is recommended or max tailwind
  • If wind > 30 kt: Max crosswind limit
  • If wind > 35 kt: A319: Th engine is able to start in crosswind up to 35 kt
  • If wind > 40/50 kt: Max wind for cargo door operation
  • If wind > 65 kt: Max wind for passenger door operation

A

A navaids approach may be performed in NAV, APP NAV or FINAL APP, with AP or FD engaged, provided that:

  • GPS Primary
  • If GPS PRIMARY is not available, the reference navaid and the corresponding airborne radio equipment must be serviceable, tuned and monitored during the approach.

EWEU OM A:

NAV setup for instrument approaches:

34
Q

AFS: Maximum wind limits (based on surface wind reported by ATC) for automatic approach and landing

A

A320:
Tailwind: 10 kt
Crosswind: 20 kt (OE-IEU to OE-IQD: 15kt with automatic rollout)
Headwind 30 kt

A319 (CONF FULL with airport elevation at or below 5750 ft.)
Tailwind: 10 kt
Crosswind: 20 kt (10 kt with OEI)
Headwind: 20 kt (15 kt with OEI)

35
Q

AFS: Upon which wind, are the auto land maximum crosswind condition based on?

A

Wind limitation is based on the surface wind reported by ATC. If the wind displayed on the ND exceeds the above-noted autoland limitations, but the tower reports surface wind within the limitations, then the autopilot can remain engaged. If the tower reports a surface wind that exceeds the limitations, only CAT I automatic approach without autoland can be performed.

36
Q

AFS: What are the limits of the ROLL OUT mode (contamination and limitations during OEI operation)

A

Performance of ROLL OUT mode has been demonstrated on dry and wet runways. Do not use ROLL OUT mode on snow covered or icy runways as it has not been demonstrated.

During automatic rollout with one engine inoperative or one thrust reverser inoperative, the flight crew can use the remaining thrust reverser, provided that:

  • No more than idle thrust is used (Only EWA to EWH)
  • The wind does not exceed the maximum wind conditions for automatic rollout

Different wind limits apply on A319 if landing at airport elevation above 5750 ft or CONF 3. For further information refer to the OM-B

37
Q

AFS: Can the remaining thrust reverser during OEI or one T/R inoperative operation be used during an automatic rollout?

A

A319 / A320 (except EWA- EWH): Yes

A320 (EWA-EWH): No more than idle thrust can be used

38
Q

APU: How many consecutive APU starts can be attempted?

A

After three consecutive APU start attempts, the flight crew must wait 60 min before a new start attempt.

Note: After APU auto shutdown due to „NO FLAME“, two additional start attempts with one minute in between are permitted.

After APU auto shutdown due to “LOW ACCELERATION”, check both batteries are selected before next attempt.

39
Q

APU: When is an APU start/shutdown permitted during refueling?

A

During refuel/defuel procedures, APU starts or shutdown are permitted with the following restrictions:

–If the APU failed to start or following an automatic APU shutdown, do not start the APU

–If a fuel spill occurs, perform a normal APU shutdown.

40
Q

48
Q

ENG: how many start attempts, what cooling time and which limitations have to be observed during successive start attempts?

A

A320-214:

  • A standard automatic start that includes up to three start attempts, is considered one cycle
  • For ground starts (automatic or manual), a 20 s pause is required between successive cycles
  • A 15 min cooling period is required, subsequent to four failed cycles

51
Q

Fuel: What is the minimum Jet A1 temperature?

A

-43 °C

Fuel freeze refers to the formation of wax crystals suspended in the fuel, which can accumulate when fuel temperature is below the freeze point (-47 °C for jet A1) and can prevent proper fuel feed to the engines.

52

Q

HYD: What is the maximum operating pressure?

A

3000 PSI +/- 200 PSI

54
Q

Ice: How are icing conditions defined

A

Icing conditions exist when the OAT (on ground or after takeoff) or the TAT (in flight) is at or below 10 °C and visible moisture in any form is present (such as clouds, fog with visibility of of 1 sm (1 600 m) or less, rain, snow, sleet or ice crystals).

–Icing conditions also exist when the OAT on the ground and for takeoff is at or below 10 °C and operating on ramps, taxiways or runways where surface snow, standing water or slush may be ingested by the engines, or freeze on engines, nacelles or engine sensor probes.

55
Q
