A new chapter “Tasksharing” is now included in the FCOM. It contains the entire
tasksharing for all flight phases that has been moved from the QRH to the FCOM. Now,
the QRH Normal Procedure only contains the tasksharing for three flight phases:
- Safety Exterior Inspection
- Preliminary Cockpit Preparation
- Securing the Aircraft.
These flight phases do not include any action flow. Based on airline policy, the flight crew
may:
- Apply these procedures from memory, or
- Apply these procedures with the read-and-do method.

ensure correct and identical awareness of the technical status, equipment and OEBs
applicable to the aircraft.
Both pilots refer to the same chart reference and the same mental picture about the
expected takeoff performance and contingency procedures (e.g. EO SID).

In addition, the ENG MODE selector action was moved from the Before Takeoff phase to
the Taxi phase, in order to reduce the workload during the Before Takeoff phase.

This change was also an opportunity to complete the FMS H3 authoring for which the
Enhanced LOC capture function is inhibited.

The Final Approach FPA displayed on the Head Up Combiner Unit (HCU) indicates the
reference slope of the approach from the current aircraft altitude. From HUD L7 standard,
if a minimum FMGC standard is installed, for approaches that use FINAL APP guidance,
the Final Approach FPA is as defined in the FMS database.

The design of the Flare law was changed on A321neo equipped with ELAC L102 or later
standards.
Following the A321neo certification with ELAC L101, Airbus identified some areas that
needed to be enhanced with regard to the Flare law (e.g. the resilience to turbulence and
aircraft reactivity).
With the ELAC L102, the new Flare law is a pitch attitude demand control law, with a
direct relationship between the sidestick input and the elevator position. Therefore, the
aircraft is more reactive to the pilot input on the sidestick. The aircraft responds much
more like a conventional aircraft, especially in the cases of windshear, gusts, or
crosswind.
The Flare law is enabled at 100 ft radio altitude.
With this Flare law, the flight control system of the aircraft does not automatically
compensate for the ground effect that induces a nose down effect.
In addition to this, the thrust reduction also induces a pitch down moment.
These effects may be perceivable by the pilot during the Flare with the new law.
However, it is important to remember that, although the design of the law is different, the
Flare technique was not changed, and remains a closed loop handling between aircraft
pitch and sidestick input.
