Q

146- How to perform a Discontinued APP procedure?

PRO-NOR-SOP-18-A P4

A

If At or Above the FCU altitude:

  • Announce “CANCEL APPROACH”
  • Disarm any AP/FD APP Mode by APPR Pb or LOC Pb
  • Select NAV or HDG
  • Select Level Off or Adjust V/S
  • Select SPEED

Keep in Mind:

  • With the Above the FPL will Disappear when Passing

the Threshold

- Another way is to Move the THR Levers to TOGA

and Quickly Come Back to the CLB Detent

* This will Keep the Return FPL

* You will Need to Act Quickly on the “V/S Push” to

Cancel the G/A Pitch if required.
