33 kts
- Max MMO.
0.82 Mach
- Severe Turbulent Air Penetration speed at FL 210.
275 KIAS
- Max airspeed at which gear may be retracted.
220 KIAS
- What is the taxi speed limitation on the 320s and 321s?
Weight greater than 167,550, 20 kts in a turn.
- Max positive differential pressure.
9.0 psi
- Is a log book entry required or any action required when APU “LOW OIL LEVEL ECAM” advisory displayed?
A logbook entry is not required after receiving this advisory message. Contact MCC to determine the status of required maintenance action.
- Max altitude for APU start.
39,000 ft (with normal electrics)
- Min altitude for A/P engaged on ILS approach with CAT 1 displayed.
160 feet.
- When is a DDA used?
DERIVED DECISION ALTITUDE (DDA)
- For non-precision approaches conducted to an applicable Minimum Descent Altitude (MDA), a Derived Decision Altitude (DDA) must be calculated and observed as minima.
- DDA is calculated by adding 50’ to the published MDA.
Vol 2, 2.10 pg. 4
A Derived Decision Altitude (DDA) must be utilized when conducting an approach with a published MDA(H). DDA is derived by adding 50 feet to the published MDA(H). This will ensure that the aircraft will not descend below the published MDA(H) if the required visual references for continuing the approach are not observed and a missed
approach becomes necessary.
Vol 1, 20.50 Pg. 2
- When are autobrakes required?
Autobrakes (if available) are required for all CAT III approaches.
- As Capt, you are on a CAT IIIB approach. What must be displayed prior to your call “landing?”
CAT 3 DUAL must be annunciated on the FMA.
- During TO and Go-Around, when is the 10 min and 950 degree C time limit authorized?
Only in the case of engine failure.

Flex takeoff permitted unless:
- Prohibited by MEL
- Prohibited by special departure procedure
