What is the maximum acceptable difference between the altitude displayed on the PFD and airport elevation?
75 ft
What altitude do we set in the FCU for a SID where ATC gives you a higher level in the PDC clearance than what’s depicted on the chart?
The most restrictive must be set, unless specifically cancelled by ATC
If PDC says “Cleared to FL360” but SID says FL180, we set FL180 in the FCU
If airport elevation is more than 1000 ft, what do you have to do with the 250 kts below 10000 ft speed restriction?
Change it in the box to 250/15400 if elevation is 5400 ft

Send the initialization once per receipt
Who does the AOC Flight Init report during flight preparation and when is it sent?
PM fills it in and sends it once refueling is complete
What should the PF do with respect to the AOC Flight Init Page during setup?
Checks the date is correct in comparison to the clock and PF also prepares the PDC
