MANAGEMENT OF DEGRADED NAVIGATION: Use the appropriate remaining AP / FD in the following cases
• GPS PRIMARY LOST on one ND
• NAV ACCUR DOWNGRAD on one FMGS

GO-AROUND or DISCONTINUE APP if external visual references are not sufficient in the following cases
• GPS PRIMARY LOST on both NDs
• NAV FM/GPS POS DISAGREE on ECAM
• NAV ACCUR DOWNGARD on both FMGS
• XTK > 0,3 NM
• VDEV (VNAV Minima) 75ft below the vertical path (VDEV > 3/4 DOT)
Values to be added by the pilot to minimum promulgated height/altitude (ft) when the Airport is at or below 0°C

SOME GENERAL RULES STANDARD CALLOUTS GATES
• With OEI: PM callouts When parameter exceeds: At the latest (Airmanship  if unable, advise)
o Max landing capability is Cat IIIA APPROACH Phase 8 NM Max 180 Kts
o AP prohibited if lateral guidance mode is “NAV” SPEED -5 kt / +10 kt of Target Speed 6 NM Max 160 Kts (180Kt if requested by ATC)
• The use of the FD in NAV/FPA (Bird+FD): SINK RATE 1 000 ft/min of V/S 5 NM Select Gear Down
Not recommended without the AP BANK 7 ° of Bank 4 NM Select Final Flaps config (CONF3 or FULL)
• When Airport T°≤ 0°C (table behind): PITCH -2.5 ° / +7.5 ° of Pitch When requested by Airport / ATC:
o Temperature correction will be applied to: LOC or GLIDE ½ dot LOC / ½ dot GS At 4,0 NM select “managed speed”
Initial/intermediate/final/missed app segment CROSS TRACK > 0.1 NM of XTK (on ND)
and DA according to the table above V/DEV ½ dot of vertical deviation (50 Ft) STABILIZATION CRITERIAS
(except when radar vectored for Initial and COURSE ½ dot or 2.5 ° (VOR) or 5 ° (ADF) • Final Landing Configuration
Intermediate Segment) xxx FT HIGH (LOW) at altitude checks points • Landing C/L completed
o FINAL APP mode is prohibited for all NPA (For CAT II / CAT III see LOW VIS APP BRIEFING) • Correct Lateral and Vertical path:
o RNP APCH VNAV only authorized within T° range LANDING Phase o ILS +/- 1 dot
• With vertical mode “selected” (FPA) PITCH PITCH 7,5° A321 / 10° A320-319 o VOR: +/- 1/2 dot (2,5°) / correct vertical profile
 “Early stabilized” Technique BANK BANK 7 ° of Bank o NDB: +/- 5° and correct vertical profile
• Except for ILS, at minima (at the latest): GO-AROUND Phase o RNP VNAV: +/- 0,3NM / -75Ft
AP OFF / FD OFF / BIRD ON / SET RWY TRK BANK 7 ° of Bank o RNP LNAV: +/- 0,3NM
