A 320 Limitations
KINDS OF OPERATION
-VFR / IFR
Two pilots
WEIGHT LIMITATIONS
MAX X - WIND DRY RWY T/O AND LDG (GUST INCLUDED)……..35 KTS
(or 50 KTS if the aircraft nose is oriented into the wind or cargo door on leeward side)
SPEED LIMIT
-VMO
-MMO
-MAX ALTITUDE………………………………………………………………………….25.000 FT
DIFFERENT SPEEDS
TAXI SPEED: When weight is higher than 76.000 KG do not exceed 20 KTS during a turn
NOTE: Qatar Airways policy is MAX 10 kts during a turn and 30 kts straight
STALLING SPEEDS
It depends on:
-CG
- Weight
-Configuration
-Pressure Altitude
Consult graphs - FCOM/LIMITATIONS/SPEED LIMITATIONS/STALLING SPEEDS
CABIN PRESSURE
-MAX PRESS and SAFETY VALVE SETTING TOLERANCE………… PLUS or MINUS 7 HPA (0.1, PSI)
-Do not use A/C simultaneously from packs and LP GROUND UNIT (to avoid chattering of the non-return
valves)
-Airflow supplied by the GROUND CART shall not exceed 1.2 Kg/s
-Do not use HP GROUND UNIT when APU supplies bleed air to avoid bleed system damage
AUTO PILOT
-MIN height for use of A/P on T.O with SRS MODE…………………………..100 FT AGL
-FMGS logic prevents A/P from engaging during 5 sec after lift off
-ILS APP (when CAT II – CAT III is not in the FMA)…………………………………............. 160 FT, AGL
AUTO THRUST
FMGS lateral and vertical NAV has been certified for after: T.O, route, and terminal area operation, for
instrument approach procedures (except: ILS- LOC – BC – LDA – SDF – MLF)
-CAT III FAIL OPERATION (DUAL)…………………………………… Alert Hight 100 ft, AGL
ENGINE OUT
CAT II / CAT III fail passive AUTO LAND are only approved in CONFIG FULL, and if ENG OUT procedure are
completed before reaching 1000 FT, AGL during approach
MAX WIND CONDITIONS FOR CAT II or CAT III, AUTOMATIC APP and LANDING ROLL OUT
- X-WIND……………………………….. 20 KTS
ELECTRICAL
FLIGHT CONTROL
FUEL
-FUEL TEMP
JET - A1 JET - B
MIN -43C MIN -46
MAX 54C MAX 49C
NOTE: JET A only, If TAT reaches -34C, monitor on ECAM that fuel temp remains higher than -36C
-When using JP 4 or JET B: Fuel in center tank is to be regarded as unusable if the wing temp exceeds
the following values, before eng start and if the given flight level is exceed before the center tank fuel
has been used.
REASON: at high alt with high fuel temp, the press delivered by center tank pumps becomes lower than
the press delivered by the wing tank pumps.
-FUEL MANAGEMENT
HYDRAULICS
BRAKES
AUTO - BRAKE
2.If tire is DE-FLATED but not damage, the aircraft can be taxi at low speed:
-If ONE TIRE is de-flated on one or more gears (max of 3 TIRES), MAX SPEED 7 kts when turning
-If TWO TIRES are de-flated on the same main gear (the other main gear tires must NOT being de-flated),
speed should be limited to: 3 KTS and NOT more than 30 degrees nose wheel steering angle.
