When is the use of AP not permitted for NPAs?
Non-Precision Approaches with Engine-Out (N502NK-N536NK & N657NK-N687NK A319/A321)
- If one engine is inoperative, it is not permitted to use the autopilot to perform NPAs in the following modes: FINAL APP, NAV V/S, NAV/FPA
- Only FD use is permitted
When must you manually abort an automatic start on the ground?
- If the ground crew reports a tailpipe fire, perform the following actions:
• Shut down the engine (MASTER switch set to OFF).
• Do NOT press the ENG FIRE pushbutton.
• Accomplish the COM Abnormal/Emergency Procedures “Engine Tailpipe Fire” procedure. - In case the electrical power supply is interrupted during the start sequence (indicated by the loss of ECAM DUs), abort the start by switching OFF the ENG MASTER switch. Then perform a 30 second dry crank by accomplishing COM Supplementary Procedures “ENGINE VENTILATION (DRY CRANKING)” procedure.
Engine warm-up times
Shutdown >= 2hrs
- 5 min before high power
Shutdown < 2hrs
- 3 min before takeoff
When is SRS mode used?
How is it triggered?
When does it automatically disengage?
SRS Mode used at takeoff or go-around to maintain SRS speed (V2, V2+10, VAPP…).
Triggered by the thrust levers at FLX or TOGA position.
Disengages automatically at ACC ALT or when another VERT mode is engaged.
