Crew Incapacitation
- FLIGHT ATTENDANT . . . . . . . . . .CONTACT
- Call the Flight Attendants via the CALLS pb or PA.
- The lead Flight Attendant or any other Flight Attendant must proceed to the cockpit immediately
The Flight Attendant must then:
- Tighten and manually lock the shoulder harness of the incapacitated Crew Member.
- Push the seat completely aft.
- Recline the seat back
In coordination with the Flight Attendant:
- Request assistance from any medically qualified passenger.
- Check if a type qualified company Pilot is on board to replace the incapacitated Crew Member.
It takes two people to remove the dead weight of an unconscious body from a seat without endangering any controls and switches. If it is not possible to remove the body, one Flight Attendant must remain in the cockpit to take care of and observe the incapacitated Crew Member.

Severe Turbulence
- SIGNS . . . .. . . . . . . . . . .. ON
- AUTO PILOT. . . . . . . …. . KEEP ON
- A/THR (if changes are excessive) . .DISCONNECT
- TURBULENCE SPEED. . . . . . SET
- FOR ALTITUDE…………………DON’T CHASE ALT
- DESCENT . . . . . . . . . . . . . .. CONSIDER
- FOR APPROACH…………A/THR USE IN MANAGED
- FOR LANDING……………..Configuration FULL, or 3
- Reference “Speed and Thrust Setting for Recommended Turbulence Speed” tables (.76/280)
- Only change thrust in case of an extreme variation in airspeed, and do not chase your Mach or airspeed.
- The Flight Crew may expect large variations in altitude, but should not chase altitude.
- The Flight Crew should consider descending to or below OPT FL, in order to increase the margin to buffet.
Stall Recovery
“STALL I HAVE CONTROL”
press and hold take over PB
As soon as any stall indication (could be aural warning, buffet…) is recognized, apply the immediate actions:
- NOSE DOWN PITCH CONTROL . . . . . . . . . .APPLY
- BANK . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .. . . . . . . . . . . . . WINGS LEVEL
When out of stall (no longer stall indication):
• THRUST . . .. . .INCREASE SMOOTHLY AS NEEDED
• SPEEDBRAKES . . . . . . . . .. . . .CHECK RETRACTED
• FLIGHT PATH. . . . . . . . . . . . . RECOVER SMOOTHLY
• FLAP 1. . . . . . . . . . . . .. . ……… SELECT(if below 20k)
Stall Warning at Lift-Off
“STALL, TOGA, 15”
- THRUST. . . . . . . . .. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . TOGA
- PITCH ATTITUDE . . . . . . . . . . .. . . . . . .15°
- BANK . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . … . . . WINGS LEVEL
press and hold takeover PB
- Spurious stall warning may sound in NORMAL law, if an angle of attack probe is damaged. In this case, immediately and simultaneously, apply the actions.
- When a safe flight path and speed are achieved and maintained, if stall warning continues, consider it as spurious.
Windshear At Takeoff
> If before V1:
Reject the takeoff.
> If after V1:
• THR LEVERS . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . TOGA
• REACHING VR . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . ROTATE
• SRS ORDERS. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .. . . . . . . . FOLLOW
-If necessary pull the sidestick fully back.
-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.
Windshear Airborne, initial climb or landing:
- THR LEVERS AT TOGA . . SET OR CONFIRM
- AP (if engaged) . . . . . ……….. . . . KEEP ON
- SRS ORDERS . . . . . . . . . . . . . .. . . . FOLLOW
• DO NOT CHANGE CONFIGURATION
UNTIL OUT OF WINDSHEAR.
- CLOSELY MONITOR FLIGHT PATH AND SPEED.
- RECOVER SMOOTHLY TO NORMAL CLIMB OUT OF WINDSHEAR
- if necessary the Flight Crew may pull the sidestick 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
W/S AHEAD RED @ Takeoff
> Before takeoff:
• Delay takeoff, or select the most favorable runway.
> During the takeoff run:
• Reject takeoff.
-Predictive windshear alerts are inhibited above 100 knots until 50 feet.
> When airborne:
• THR LEVERS . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . TOGA
• AP (if engaged) . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . … . . . KEEP ON
• SRS ORDERS. . . . . . . . . . . . …………..FOLLOW
- As usual, the slat/flap configuration can be changed, provided the windshear is NOT entered.
- if necessary the Flight Crew may pull the sidestick 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
W/S AHEAD RED @ Landing
- GO AROUND. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . PERFORM
- AP (if engaged) . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . KEEP ON
- if necessary the Flight Crew may pull the sidestick 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
W/S AHEAD AMBER 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.
