Must be within Coding tolerances
What must be available for RNAV(GNSS)?
GPS PRIMARY
What are the coding tolerances for a non-precision approach flown in NAV FPA?
1deg on Lateral
3deg if using NAV AIDS to back, up. NOT RNAV(GNSS) etc.
If not use TRK/FPA
When can you arm LOC on an approach?
Cleared by ATC
Deviation correct sensing
Identified
What is the minimum AP in TRK/FPA or NAV/FPA?
250ft
When do you start a descent using FPA at the Final Approach Point?
0.3nm before, pull knob.
When will FINAL APP engage?
1.5nm from FDP and 150ft of the profile
What is the discontinued approach proacedure?
Above FCU Alt only
Announce Cancel Approach
Deselect APPR
Set appropriate Vertical and Lateral modes
Set altitude
Then fly away and clean up.
FMS will stay in approach phase
May need to re-enter a destination on FPN
When will you get Red WINDSHEAR
3 sec after liftoff to 1300ft
1300ft to 50ft with at least CONF1
Red message for 15sec
WINDSHEAR audio 3 times.
What are the guidance on deviations that suggest windshear?
15kts
500fpm

When is the Predictive Windshear available on take-off?
up to 100kts then 50ft when airborne
What will you do for MONITOR RADAR DISPLAY with amber W/S AHEAD on PFD, below 100kts on take-off?
Reject, but technically can continue.
What will you do if MONITOR RADAR DISPLAY during initial climbout?
Try and avoid area of windshear shown as red arcs on the ND. Select TOGA. Continue to clean up and be ready.
What will you do for MONITOR RADAR DISPLAY during approach?
Go around if it is sensible although you can continue, Flap 3 and increase speed up to VLS+15kts.
What will you do for GO AROUND WINDSHEAR AHEAD on appraoch?
TOGA and Go-around and can reconfigure, avoid the area on the ND.
Reactive Windshear Memory Item?

What would you add for Vapp in strong winds?
1/3 of headwind up to 15kts max.
DO NOT include gusts.
In practice only more than 15kts headwind as the 5kts for ATHR will be there

5kts FULL
10kts CONF 3
In a gusty crosswind what could you add for Vapp?
Up to 15kts
For winds over 20kts generally
Remember to think about how much of this is headwind? Add SPD addition on IFLD if needed.

Yes

What is the Ice Shedding procedure, 319 and 320/321CEO?
Consider the taxi time from the previous flight.
Should write the time or the time since the last ice shedding procedure. (if maintenance action then can disregard)
Accelerate to 50% N1 no greater than 15mins apart.
