  • On the correct vertical path (Glidepath, +/- one dot)
  • In the final landing configuration (Landing gear and flaps extended, speed brakes retracted)
  • Absent any GPWS Warnings and Cautions
  • Landing Checklist completed

500’ AFE

  • Steady rate of decent not to exceed 1000’ / min
  • Within -5/+15 knots of target speed for approach
  • Thrust stabilized, usually above idle, commensurate with what is required to maintain target speed criteria.

What if the weather requires a Cat II / Cat III autoland, but not all of the requirements can be met?

60
Q

AIRCRAFT SYSTEMS LIMITATIONS

Autoland parameters — Engine out

Can we conduct an autoland with one engine inop?

A

The Airbus A320 series aircraft are approved by the AFM to perform single engine autoland approaches. Although Frontier Airlines’ limitations prohibit the initiation of single engine autoland approaches, the flight crew may use emergency authority if it is determined to be the safest course of action. NOTE: On A320 aircraft with an engine inoperative, single engine autoland approaches are only approved by the AFM in CONFIG FULL.
