PERFORMANCE DATA / TLR

Question 1

1 | What is the engine type for this aircraft?

Answer 1

º CFM56-5B4X

Question 2

2 | How do you determine that the attached TLR is valid?

Answer 2

º POAT: Takeoff report is valid when actual OAT is no less than POAT - 10°C.
º PQNH: Takeoff report is valid when actual QNH is no less than 0.10 below PQNH.
- Example TLR valid at 29.97 and higher. Actual QNH may be above PQNH, but additional uplift capability may be gained by using an actual QNH that is higher than PQNH.

Question 3

3 | Where do we reference the engine failure takeoff procedure?

Answer 3

º Standard: ACARS Runway Section of the TLR
º Simple Special: Special ENG Fail Takeoff Procedures Section of the TLR
º Complex Special: Company tab on the JEPP FD-PRO application or the A320 ADPH

Question 4

4 | If a turn/heading is denoted in the takeoff data section of the TLR when would you be required to start the turn
if you lost an engine prior to EO acceleration?

Answer 4

º Standard procedure turns are commenced at 1,000’ AFE, in IMC/VMC conditions.

Question 5

5 | Do we have to comply with simple-special procedures? Complex-special procedures?

Answer 5

º Simple-special: in IMC, until 3,000’ AFE unless assigned a radar vector at a lower altitude
º Simple-special: in VMC, until 1,000’ AFE
º Complex-special: mandatory in IMC and VMC

Question 6

6 | What is the flap setting for a departure from RWY 31L/KD at the planned takeoff weight?

Answer 6

º Flaps 3

Question 7

7 | ACARS is deferred. If you are issued a runway change can the TLR be used to make the runway change?

Answer 7

º Yes (assumes a valid TLR)

Question 8

8 | We are issued a runway change and runway 31R is assigned (calm wind). At a weight of 145.0 what data would
be inserted into the MCDU PERF page?

Answer 8

º Flaps are set at 3 and flaps 3 is inserted into MCDU PERF page.
º New speeds: 134/137/140
º Flex Temp 63
º PACKS OFF

Question 9

9 | Does performance support a takeoff on runway 13R with a 10kt tailwind?

Answer 9

º Yes

Question 10

10 |What is the length of runway 19R at IAD?

Answer 10

º 9,400 ft

Question 11

11 |What is the MRLW for RWY 19R with a temperature of 18°C? Flaps 3/Full? What is the limiting factor?

Answer 11

º 189.8F/190.6C
º Field/Climb

Question 12

12 |Minimum landing distance is determined by assessed runway conditions. How is this information distributed?

Answer 12

º FICON NOTAM

Question 13

13 |What information is included in the FICON NOTAM?

Answer 13

º Runway condition code (RCC), contaminant type, depth, and percentage of coverage

Question 14

14 |How is coverage reported?

Answer 14

º Provided in 1/3 runway intervals when the runway is more than 25% contamination level

Question 15

15 |Based on FICON NOTAM DATA how do we determine the impact the conditions will have on our landing
performance?

Answer 15

º Reference the runway condition assessment matrix
º Refer to RCAM minimum landing distance in the TLR for planning prior to departure.
º Enter the field condition and expected braking action into the ATSU or use Inflight Performance in the QRH
when enroute.

Question 16

16 |During pre-flight planning we determine that upon arrival at IAD the expected RCC values for runway 01C will
be 5/6/6 based on the FICON NOTAM. What is the minimum landing distance required for our planned weight?

Answer 16

º Use the lowest value (5/good): 4830

Question 17

17 |What is minimum landing distance?

Answer 17

º Landing distance including a 15% safety margin and an air-run from a 50’ threshold crossing height.

Question 18

18 |What landing requirements must be met in order dispatch?

Answer 18

º Must be able to land and stop within 60% of the effective length of the runway to be used.
º An additional 15% is added for a wet runway.

Question 19

19 |It is possible to meet dispatch requirements yet have a minimum landing distance (based on expected braking
action) greater than the landing distance available. Can you depart?

Answer 19

º Dispatch is permitted if:
- There is reasonable expectation that the braking action will improve to the point that the minimum
landing distance required will be less than the landing distance available at ETA
- The PIC and dispatcher conduct a briefing and agree what braking action will be required before
landing
- A performance alternate is added to the dispatch release

Question 20

20 |What is the requirement to list an airport as a performance alternate?

Answer 20

º Minimum landing distance must be less than the landing distance available

Question 21

21 |Can we reference the RCAM MIN-LDG distance in the TLR to determine landing distance?

Answer 21

º No, it is for planning purposes only.

Question 22

22 |How do we determine minimum landing distance once airborne?

Answer 22

º Obtain up to date FICON NOTAM information on ATIS
º With ATSU: Enter field condition, expected braking action, and select thrust reverser option to obtain
minimum required landing distance. Min required distance on LDG data report includes 15% safety margin
and an air run from 50’ above threshold.
º Without ATSU: Use Airbus FlySmart application on IPAD.
