SOP Flashcards
If any landing gear door is open, do not pressurize the hydraulic systems until
clearance is obtained from ground personnel.
Do not pressurize the hydraulic systems until
clearance is obtained from ground personnel.
If flight control surface positions do not agree with the control handle positions
check with the maintenance crew before applying hydraulic power.
To prevent hearing damage to ground mechanics connected to the intercom system
inform them that a loud noise may be heard in the headset when performing this test.
Disconnection of the external power with the EXT PWR pb-sw ON may cause injury to the ground engineer.
Request disconnection of the external power only with the EXT PWR pb-sw AVAIL.
When landing on a contaminated runway with the autobrake:
BRK HI must be displayed on the FMA
If BTV, BRK LO, BRK 2 or BRK 3 is displayed on the FMA, the flight crew must immediately apply pedal braking.
If the flight crew selects a non-precision approach on the FMS ARRIVAL page in the active flight plan, and if they manually tune an ILS on the FMS POSITION/NAVAIDS page, the MFD and PFD display CHECK APPR SEL
The available approach guidance modes are LOC and G/S modes when the APPR pb is pressed on the AFS CP. Therefore, the approach selected on the FMS ARRIVAL page is disregarded and the aircraft will fly the manually-tuned ILS approach on the FMS POSITION/NAVAIDS page.
If the ILS (GLS) course pointer and the runway track differ by more than
5 °, perform a go-around, or a manual landing if visual references are sufficient.
F LOC / G LOC APPP: The vertical guidance requires a precise baro setting. The maximum acceptable discrepancy between altimeters is
100 ft.
The FLS function can be used if the FLS capability is
F-APP or F-APP + RAW.
f the F-APP or F-APP + RAW capability is lost with RAW ONLY displayed on the FMA, For ILS G/S OUT, LOC ONLY, LOC B/C Approaches:
Revert to selected vertical guidance (FPA). This action disarms/disengages the F-G/S mode.
VAPP is computed at xxx while the aircraft is in CRZ or DES phase. When the APPR phase is activated, VAPP is computed using the xxxx.
VAPP is computed at predicted landing weight while the aircraft is in CRZ or DES phase. When the APPR phase is activated, VAPP is computed using the current gross weight.
The approach is flown in TRK FPA when:
The approach is not stored in the database, or
NAV accuracy is LOW.
If the ECAM does not display the N/W STEER DISC memo, but the ground crew confirms that the tow pin is in the towing position
he flight crew should not start the engines during pushback in order to avoid possible damage to the nose landing gear upon green hydraulic pressurization.
To dispatch the aircraft in such a case, Refer to MEL/NWS Disconnection Function .
Do not use the brakes during pushback
unless required due to an emergency.
Eng Ice shedding, Pay particular attention to the aircraft movement during this procedure. If during thrust increase, the aircraft starts to move
immediately retard the thrust levers to IDLE.
If the ECAM still displays the N/W STEER DISC memo, but the ground crew confirms that the tow pin is removed
the NWS Disconnection Function is inoperative.
To dispatch the aircraft in such a case, Refer to MEL/Item 32-50-05 NWS Disconnection Function condition 32-50-05B.
If the aircraft was parked in wet conditions for a long time
the first brake application at low speed is less effective.
During QFE operations
the flight crew must convert QFE into QNH. The CPCS uses the QNH to compute the cabin pressurization profile. Therefore, the entry of QFE in QNH field of the PERF page leads to an erroneous cabin pressurization profile.
Do not use BTV in the case of:
Contaminated runway
Any reverse inoperative, or in the case of any aircraft failure affecting landing performance.
Obstacle clearance is not guaranteed
if erroneous baro setting is selected, or if FLS guidance is used outside the published approach.
From minima, the FDs provide an additional guidance
The FDs must be switched off if the guidance is not relevant or not followed.
To avoid database corruption on the FLIGHT OPS domain:
Do not hold the ON/OFF sw for more than 2 s
When the laptop is started/stopped, wait at least 10 s before pushing the ON/OFF sw again.
The full coordinates of ALL Oceanic waypoints
must be independently verified from the FPLAN page.
The use of soft go-around is prohibited
on airport with missed approach gradient greater than 8 %
