Takeoff with SRS mode
An internal FMGS logic prevents auto pilot from engaging during the 5 seconds after liftoff
NAV mode maybe used in the terminal area provided that
- GPS primary is available
- The appropriate RNP is checked or entered on the MCDU, and high accuracy is displayed or
- FMS navigation is cross checked with nav aid raw data
If one engine is inoperative, it is NOT permitted to use the autopilot to perform non-precision approaches in the following modes
FINAL APP, NAV, V/S, NAV, FPA only FD use is permitted
