Recall of the last procedure enhancements
Common procedure for all Airbus Family:
1) Memory Items
in a Black Box.
2) Level Off Step with

Pitch&thrust table.

Recall of the last procedure enhancements
IF the troubleshooting is unsuccessful or all indications are unreliable:
Switch OFF 2 ADRs and

fly the aircraft using
Pitch & Thrust tables.

Conclusion
 The UNRELIABLE SPEED and ADR CHECK PROC are now gathered in a
single paper procedure called:
“UNRELIABLE SPEED INDICATION / ADR CHECK”
 Conditions added in the procedure for :
Applying the Memory Items

Level off for troubleshooting faulty ADR / Use the Back-Up Speed Scale
 Situation Awareness and procedure understanding are improved by the FCTM

and the e-briefing
 New Backup Speed Scale: Easier way to handle an Unreliable speed situation

Backup Speed Scale: package
1) EIS 2 screen ,
PACKAGE INCLUDING :
2) ADIRU standard Honeywell AD 21, or
LITTON 314,
3) FWC standards:
1) W5 for A340-500/600,
2) L11 for A340 basic,
3) K9 for A330,
4) F4 for the Single Aisle.
PACKAGE COVERED BY MODIFICATIONS:

• 35871 for Single Aisle (certification in 2007)
• 53368 for the Long Range (certification in
June 2006 for A340-500/600, September 2006
for A330 and A340 ).
