Airbus launched the Safety Beyond Standard initiative to further enhance the safety of
the fleet beyond requirements. A320 Family Available Enhancements Page
One of the primary objectives is to enhance the A320 and A330 family aircraft so Enhancement of autopilot

assistance to the flight crew in abnormal conditions.
Increase in Autopilot Availability
Enhancement of autopilot
The Safety Beyond Standard initiative aims to reduce exposure to identified safety robustness in case of LGCIU
threats, starting with Loss of Control In-flight (LOC-I), Controlled Flight Into Terrain failures p.13
(CFIT), Runway Excursion (RE), fire, smoke, cabin depressurization, abnormal ground
control, and abnormal fuel situations. Safety Beyond Standard is a continuous Increase in Flight Envelope Prevention of undue double
improvement initiative, therefore, additional enhancements will be proposed in the Protection Availability simultaneous FAC reset p.44

To reduce the threat of LOC-I for example, design enhancements are developed to Enhanced Crew Interface and
achieve these three high-level objectives: Awareness Excessive bank angle alert p.44; p.45; p.47

flight crew as additional indication that masks are deployed:
- SB A320-35-1067: Adaptation pass info relay, relay socket and wirings for Gaseous
Oxygen System (GOS) (Mod. 150552).
- SB A320-35-1068: Adaptation pass info relay, relay socket and wirings for chemical
oxygen system (Mod. 150551).
Aircraft prerequisites
The ECAM memo introduction requires at least the following FWC standard or
subsequent (subject to monitored retrofit and airworthiness directive):
- SB A320-31-1373: Introduction of FWC standard H2-F6 (Mod. 151269).
Additional Benefits
For aircraft fitted with older CPC, the replacement with a newer P/N (including
20791-13AD or 24441-01AB) will bring an additional benefit replacing the removable
pressure sensor protection by fixed ones, preventing risk of erroneous pressure
measurement in case the protections are left in place after maintenance.
