Return to STANDARD STRATEGY
Severe Turbulence
Reference: 3.80.35- “Severe Turbulence” procedure.
- Signs ….. ON
- Speed and Thrust ….. ADJUST
(Reference “Speed and Thrust Setting for Recommended Turbulence Speed” tables in COM Book 2 3.80.36)
Note: Only change thrust in case of an extreme variation in airspeed, and do not chase your Mach or airspeed. - Autopilot ….. KEEP ON
- A/THR (if thrust changes become excs) ….. OFF
- ALTITUDE ….. DO NOT CHASE
Note: for altitude:
If the Flight Crew flies the aircraft manually:
- The Flight Crew may expect large variations in altitude, but should not chase altitude. - DESCENT TO OR BELOW OPT FL ….. CONSIDER
- In order to increase buffet margin. - For approach:
A/THR ….. ON (managed speed USE) - For landing:
Configuration ….. FULL, or 3
CONF FULL provides better handling capability in turbulent conditions, however, CONF 3 provides more energy and less drag.
Stall Recovery
Reference: COM 3.10 - “Stall Recovery” procedure.
Condition: Stall indication recognized.
"STALL I HAVE CONTROL” 1. NOSE DOWN PITCH CONTROL ..... APPLY 2. BANK ..... WINGS LEVEL When out of stall: 3. THRUST ..... INCREASE SMOOTHLY AS NEEDED 4. SPEEDBRAKES ..... CHECK RETRACTED 5. FLIGHT PATH ..... RECOVER SMOOTHLY If in clean config and below 20,000 ft: 6. FLAP 1 ..... SELECT
- NOSE DOWN PITCH CONTROL ….. APPLY
Note: In case of lack of pitch down authority, reducing thrust may be
necessary. - BANK ….. WINGS LEVEL
When out of stall:
3. THRUST ….. INCREASE SMOOTHLY AS NEEDED
Note: In case of one engine inoperative, progressively compensate the thrust asymmetry with rudder.
- SPEEDBRAKES ….. CHECK RETRACTED
- FLIGHT PATH ….. RECOVER SMOOTHLY
If in clean config and below 20,000 ft:
6. FLAP 1 ….. SELECT
Note: If a risk of ground contact exists, once clearly out of stall (no longer stall indication), smoothly establish a positive climb gradient.
Stall Warning at Lift-Off
Reference: COM 3.10.28 - “Stall Recovery at Lift-Off” procedure.
“STALL, TOGA 15°”
THRUST ……………….TOGA PITCH ATTITUDE……………………………15°
BANK………………….WINGS LEVEL
NOTE:When a safe flight path and speed are achieved and maintained, if stall warning continues, consider it as spurious.
Windshear
Before V1
After V1
Airborne, Initial Climb, Landing
Reference: COM 3.80.44 - “Windshear Warning - Reactive Windshear” procedure.
Condition: Windshear advisory annunciated or windshear is detected.
Both PFDs display a WINDSHEAR message with a red flag. An associated aural WINDSHEAR alert sounds three times.
AT TAKEOFF:
Before V1 ….. CONSIDER REJECT
After V1:
“WINDSHEAR TOGA”
- THR LEVERS ….. TOGA
- REACHING VR ….. ROTATE
- SRS ORDERS ….. FOLLOW
- **If necessary the Flight Crew may pull the side stick fully back.
- Autopilot disengages if the angle of attack value goes above α prot.
- If the FD bars are not displayed, move toward an initial pitch attitude of 17.5°. Then, if necessary, to prevent a loss in altitude, increase the pitch attitude.
Airborne, initial climb or landing:
- THR LEVERS AT TOGA ….. SET OR CONFIRM
- AP (if engaged) ….. KEEP ON
- SRS ORDERS ….. FOLLOW -
* *Same Note from Above
- DO NOT CHANGE CONFIG TILL OUT OF WINDSHEAR
- CLOSELY MONITOR FLIGHT PATH AND SPEED
- RECOVER SMOOTHLY TO NORMAL CLIMB
Windshear Ahead Red
- Before Takeoff
- During Takeoff
- When airborne
- Landing
Reference: COM 3.80.46 - “Windshear Warning - Predictive Windshear” procedure.
Condition: Predictive windshear “W/S AHEAD” or “GO AROUND WINDSHEAR AHEAD” alert triggered.
Note: Associated with an aural synthetic voice “WINDSHEAR AHEAD, WINDSHEAR AHEAD”.
Before takeoff ….. Delay Takeoff or change runway
During Takeoff ….. REJECT TAKEOFF
Note: Predictive windshear alerts are inhibited above 100 knots until 50 feet.
When Airborne:
1. THR LEVERS ….. TOGA
Note: As usual, the slat/flap configuration can be changed, provided the windshear is not entered.
2. AP (if engaged) ….. KEEP ON
3. SRS ORDERS ….. FOLLOW
- **If necessary the Flight Crew may pull the side stick fully back.
- Autopilot disengages if the angle of attack value goes above α prot.
- If the FD bars are not displayed, move toward an initial pitch attitude of 17.5°. Then, if necessary, to prevent a loss in altitude, increase the pitch attitude.
LANDING: Note: Associated with an aural synthetic voice "GO AROUND, WINDSHEAR AHEAD". 1. GO AROUND ..... PERFORM 2. AP (IF ENGAGED) ..... KEEP ON - **Same Note as above
Windshear Ahead Amber
Reference: COM 3.80.47 - “Windshear Warning - Predictive Windshear” procedure.
BEFORE TAKEOFF:
- Delay takeoff until conditions improve.
- Evaluate takeoff conditions:
- Using observations and experience.
- Checking weather conditions. - Select the most favorable runway (considering location of the likely windshear).
- Use the weather radar or the predictive windshear system before commencing takeoff to ensure that the flight path clears any potential problem areas.
- Select TOGA thrust.
- Monitor closely airspeed and airspeed trend during the takeoff run for early signs of windshear
