289
Max APU EGT with APU running?
682deg - with 5s confirmation time for shutdown
290
What is the effect of changing idle
| Perf factor on MCDU?
Positive idle factor - shallower descent, earlier TOD.
Negative idle factor - steeper descent, later TOD.
(Impacts FMGC guidance in DES mode)
291
Contingency fuel is?
Allow errors in forecast wind, temperatures,
extended taxi, minor route change for ATC or WX.
- 5% of trip fuel origin to destination
- not less than 250kg
- min planned cont. is not less than 5% from
abeam last ERA to dest.
292
Pushing the APU fire pb does?
- shuts down the APU
- Silences the warning
- arms the squib
- Closes LP fuel valve
- Closes APU fuel pump
- Closes APU Bleed valve and x Bleed
- Deactivates APU GEN
293

| on the ND on ground?
4 deg
294
HP ground unit supplying air?
Do not use HP ground unit and APU bleed at same
| time to avoid system damage.
295

| action?
- Landing Lights
- Seatbelts
- EFIS Option - Airports
- ECAM memo
- NAVAIDS
- SEC F-PLN

296
Traffic separation on visual
| approach?
If traffic not in sight, ATC responsible for separation.
If traffic in sight, then crew are responsible for traffic
and wake separation.
297
Actions for severe turbulence?
*Seat belts on, select 0.76, shoulder harness, seat cabin crew, then refer to:
QRH - ABN - SEVERE TURBULENCE
SEAT BELTS - ON
SPEED AND THRUST - ADJUST
KEEP A/P ON
If excessive thrust variations: Disconnect A/THR
Descent to or below opt fl - Consider (increase buffet margin)
For approach:
A/THR - ON
USE MANAGED SPEED
