FOREWORD
Ident.: PRO-NOR-SOP-01-00010142.0001001 / 05 DEC 17
Applicable to: ALL
The procedures contained in this Chapter are recommended by Airbus, and are consistent with the
other Chapters of this manual.
The Authorities do not certificate Standard Operating Procedures. The manufacturer presents them
herein as the best way to proceed, from a technical and operational standpoint. They are continually
updated and the revisions take into account Operator input, as well as manufacturer experience.
In addition, Operators may amend them, as needed. However, the manufacturer recommends that
Operators using the FCOM as onboard operational manual submit suggested changes to expedite
publication, and maintain consistency of the manual. The Operator should note that they may rewrite
this Chapter, at their own responsibility; this could, however, make it difficult to update the manual
and keep it consistent with the other Chapters.
The following sections contain expanded information on normal procedures.
Standard Operating Procedures consist of inspections, preparations, and normal procedures. All
items of a given procedure are listed in a sequence that follows a standardized scan of the cockpit
panels, unless that sequence goes against the action priority logic, to ensure that all actions are
performed in the most efficient way.
These procedures assume that all systems are operating normally, and that all automatic functions
are used normally.
Standard Operating Procedures consider that both pilots use Electronic Flight Bag (EFB). Airbus
recommends operating with two EFBs in order to reduce the risk of erroneous inputs.
The FCOM also contains normal procedures that are non-routine procedures in the Supplementary
Procedures chapter and in the Special Operations chapter.

NOTAMS
Ident.: PRO-NOR-SOP-02-00010149.0002001 / 29 MAY 13
Applicable to: ALL
‐ The flight crew must examine NOTAMs for changes to routings, unserviceable navaids, availability
of runways and approach aids etc, all of which may affect the final fuel requirement
‐ In order to prevent the risks of projection of debris towards the trimmable horizontal stabilizer
and the elevators, it is not recommended to takeoff from runways in bad condition (loose surface,
under repair, covered with debris...)

FLIGHT CREW STANDARD OPERATING PROCEDURES - FLIGHT PREPARATION
OPERATING MANUAL
‐ The crew will check the company flight plan for routing, altitudes, and flight time
‐ The Captain will check the ATC flight plan and ensure that:
• It is filled in and filed, in accordance with the prescribed procedures
• It agrees with the fuel flight plan routing.
‐ The crew will check the estimated load figures, and will calculate the maximum allowable takeoff
and landing weights.
The flight crew should choose a flight level that is as close to the optimum as possible. To determine
the optimum flight level, use the performance application of EFB.
As a general rule, an altitude that is 4 000 ft below the optimum produces a significant penalty
(approximately 5 % of fuel). Flight 8 000 ft below the optimum altitude produces a penalty of more
than 10 % against trip fuel. (The usual contingency allowance is 5 %).

The exterior walkaround ensures that the general condition of the aircraft is satisfactory and that the
visible aircraft components and equipment are safe for the flight:
‐ There is no impact damage to the structure
‐ There is no evident fuel, oil, or hydraulic leak
‐ All ground access doors are closed.
The flight crew must perform a complete walkaround before each flight.
The parking brake must be set to ON during the exterior walkaround, in order to enable the flight
crew to check brake wear indicators.
WARNING If any landing gear door is open, do not apply hydraulic power until clearance is
obtained from ground personnel.

2. If the weather display is ambiguous or unexpected, in order to better analyze the weather
situation, use manual tilt according to standard technique.
3. In particular below FL 200, for situations with low-level weather, weather with low
reflectivity or in front of suspected active cells, the flight crew should switch to Manual

clutter appears on the upper part of the display.
4. In addition, the flight crew may increase the manual gain control to display lower

Otherwise, a navigation accuracy check must be performed especially when any of the following
occurs:
‐ GPS PRIMARY LOST appears on the ND ( GPS )
‐ IRS only navigation
‐ The PROG page displays LOW accuracy
‐ “NAV ACCUR DOWNGRAD” appears on the MCDU.
Refer to DSC-22_20-20-20 Estimated Position Uncertainty.
Note: Methods for checking accuracy:
If the check is positive (error ≤ 3 N.m): FM position is reliable.
Use ND (ARC or NAV) and managed lateral guidance.
If the check is negative (error > 3 N.m): FM position is not reliable.
Use raw data for navigation and monitor it.
If there is a significant mismatch between the display and the real position:
Disengage MANAGED NAV mode and use raw data navigation (possibly switching
to ROSE VOR, so as not to be misled by FM data).

For more information, Refer to FCTM/PR-NP-SOP-160 Landing Performance
Note: 1. If the weather conditions are expected to change at the landing airport, or in the event
of significant precipitation, the flight crew should consider a second calculation of the
in-flight landing distance with the worst possible runway condition.
2. The selection of REV MAX is the standard practice for landing.
However, on DRY runways the flight crew may select REV IDLE.
On WET runways (runway surface condition GOOD), the flight crew may select REV
IDLE, if all the following conditions are satisfied:
‐ A landing distance assessment has been made with the following parameters:
• MEDIUM TO POOR landing performance level for the in-flight landing distance
computation
• No reverser credit
‐ The result of this landing distance assessment is within the LDA.

ENG ANTI-ICE pb-sw ........................................................................................................... AS RQRD
Engine anti-ice must be set to ON before and during descent, even If the SAT is below -40 °C (-40
°F).
When ENG ANTI ICE is ON, the FADEC automatically controls continuous ignition and selects a
higher idle thrust which gives better protection against flame-out. The IGNITION memo appears on
the ECAM.
WING ANTI ICE pb-sw .........................................................................................................AS RQRD
When icing conditions are encountered:
‐ The flight crew may turn on the wing anti-ice to prevent the ice accretion on the wing leading edge.
‐ The flight crew must turn on the wing anti-ice if there is evidence of ice accretion, such as ice on
the visual indicators, or on the wipers, or with the SEVERE ICE DETECTED alert. This is to
remove any ice accumulation on the wing leading edge.
ANTI ICE ON reduces the descent path angle (when the engines are at idle). The pilot can
compensate for this by increasing the descent speed, or by extending up to half speedbrakes.

Use DES mode which will guide the aircraft down at a lower vertical speed in order to converge
on the required descent path. (The pilot may use a V/S of -1 000 ft/min).
If ATC delays the descent:
Beyond T/D, the PFD and the MCDU display either "DECELERATE" or "T/D REACHED"
message. This suggests to the crew that it starts reducing speed towards green dot speed (with
ATC permission). When cleared to descend, select DES mode with managed speed active.

If engine anti-ice is selected in descent, the flight idle is increased. So, to maintain the rate of
descent that the airplane had before engine anti-ice selection it may be necessary to use up to half
speedbrakes to maintain the required rate of descent, in OPEN DES vertical mode. If the rate of
descent has to be increased, full speedbrakes may be used.
In DES mode: If the aircraft is on, or below, the flight path and the ATC requires a higher rate of
descent, do not use speedbrakes because the rate of descent is dictated by the planned flight path.
Thus, the A/THR may increase thrust to compensate for the increase in drag. In this case, use OPEN
DES with speedbrakes.
Note: 1. If speedbrakes are used above 315 kt/M .75, with the AP engaged, their rate of retraction
is low (total time for retraction from full extension is approximately 25 s). The ECAM
memo page displays SPD BRAKES in amber until retraction is complete.
2. In order to avoid overshooting the altitude, due to speedbrake retraction in ALT* mode,
retract the speedbrakes at least 2 000 ft before the selected altitude.

Note: In IMC, a later speed and thrust stabilization can be acceptable provided that:
‐ It is in accordance with Operator policies and regulations
‐ The aircraft is in deceleration toward the target approach speed
‐ The flight crew stabilizes speed and thrust as soon as possible and not later than
500 ft AAL.
‐ The flight crew does not detect any excessive flight parameter deviation.
If one of the above-mentioned conditions is not satisfied, the flight crew must initiate a go-around,

DECELERATED APPROACH
The decelerated approach with FD or AP/FD guidance is the standard flying technique for ILS /
MLS / GLS approaches and approaches using FLS or FINAL APP guidance.
EARLY STABILIZED APPROACH
Under certain circumstances, the flight crew may decide to reduce the speed down to VAPP in the
landing configuration at the Final Descent Point (i.e. approach via selected guidance, high glide
path angle, low altitude intermediate approach, etc.). In order to obtain a valuable deceleration
pseudo waypoint and to ensure a timely deceleration, the flight crew should enter VAPP as a
speed constraint at the Final Descent Point.
DISCONTINUED APPROACH

Applicable to: ALL
In order to discontinue an approach when the aircraft is at or above the altitude selected on the
FCU, the flight crew can either:
‐ Apply the GO AROUND procedure, or
‐ Apply the discontinued approach technique.
When the aircraft is below the FCU altitude, the flight crew must apply the GO AROUND
procedure.

INITIAL APPROACH
F-PLN SEQUENCING...........................................................................................................ADJUST
‐ The NAV mode will be available after GO AROUND if the F-PLN is properly sequenced. A good
cue to monitor the proper F-PLN sequencing is the TO waypoint on the upper right side of the
ND, which should remain meaningful.
‐ In NAV mode, the F-PLN will sequence automatically.
‐ In HDG/TRK mode, the F-PLN will sequence automatically only if the aircraft flies close to the
F-PLN route.
APPROACH PHASE............................................................................................CHECK/ACTIVATE
‐ If the aircraft overflies the DECEL pseudo waypoint in NAV mode, the APPR phase activates
automatically.
‐ If the aircraft is in HDG/TRK mode, approximately 15 NM from touchdown, activate and confirm
APPROACH phase on the MCDU (PERF DES page).
MANAGED SPEED................................................................................................................ CHECK
‐ If ATC requires a particular speed, use selected speed. When the ATC speed constraint no

APPR pb on FCU................................................................................................................... PRESS
‐ Press the APPR pb when:
• Cleared for the approach
• On the intercept trajectory for the final approach course
• LOC deviation is available.
This arms the LOC and G/S modes.
Note: In NAV mode, the aircraft may leave the F-PLN to capture the LOC.
‐ LOC and/or G/S capture modes will engage no sooner than 3 s after being armed.
‐ ICAO defines the envelope where the quality of the G/S signal ensures a normal capture. This
envelope is within 10 NM, ±8 ° of the centerline of the ILS glide path and up to 1.75 θ and down
to 0.3 θ (θ = nominal glide path angle). When arming the approach well outside of the normal
G/S capture envelope, a spurious G/S* engagement may occur due to a wrong G/S deviation
signal. Whenever the pilot notices the pitch movement, or the spurious G/S*, or the trajectory
deviation, he will immediately disconnect the AP, if engaged, to re-establish a normal attitude
and will disengage APPR mode. It is then recommended to arm/rearm APPR (ILS) mode within
the normal capture zone.

Method:
‐ The AP is not used
‐ Both FDs are OFF

Bear in mind the possible risk of optical illusions due to hindered night vision.
Note: If the forecasted tailwind at landing is greater than 10 kt, decelerated approach is not
allowed, and the speed should be stabilized around VREF + 5 kt in final.
INITIAL/INTERMEDIATE APPROACH
The flight plan selected on the MCDU should include the selection of the landing runway. The
downwind leg may also be part of the flight plan. This may be a useful indication of the aircraft
position in the circuit on the ND.
However, visual references must be used.

FINAL APPROACH
The speed trend arrow and FPV help the flight crew make timely and correct thrust settings (if in
manual thrust), and approach path corrections.
Avoid descending through the correct approach path with idle thrust. (Late recognition of this
situation without a prompt thrust increase may lead to considerable speed decay and altitude
loss).
Ensure that the aircraft is stabilized on the final descent path at VAPP (or ground speed mini)
in the landing configuration with the thrust stabilized (usually above idle) at 500 ft above airfield
elevation or as restricted by Operator policies/regulations.
If the aircraft is not stabilized, the flight crew must initiate a go around, unless they think that only
small corrections are necessary to rectify minor deviations from stabilized conditions due, amongst
others, to external perturbations.
Avoid any tendency to “duck under” in the late stages of the approach.
Avoid destabilizing the approach in the last 100 ft, in order to have the best chance of performing a
good touchdown at the desired position.

CAUTION In icing conditions (Refer to LIM-ICE_RAIN Definition of Icing Conditions), the flight
crew must turn on the engine anti-ice and should not wait until seeing ice building
up.
ANTI ICE................................................................................................................................ AS RQRD
‐ If engine anti-ice is used, take care to control taxi speed, especially on wet or slippery surfaces
(N1 ground idle is increased).
‐ During ground operation, when in icing conditions and when the OAT is at +3 °C or below for more
than 30 min, the following procedure should be applied for ice shedding:
CAUTION If, during thrust increase, the aircraft starts to move, immediately retard the thrust
levers to IDLE.
If ground surface conditions and the environment permit, the flight crew should accelerate the
engines to approximately 70 % of N1 for 30 s at intervals not greater than 30 min.
If ground surface or environment do not permit to accelerate the engine to 70 % N1, then power
setting and dwell time should be as high as practical.
When operating in conditions of freezing rain, freezing drizzle, freezing fog or heavy snow, ice
shedding may be enhanced, by additional run ups at intervals, to not exceed 10 min, advancing
throttles to 70 % N1 momentarily (no hold time).

L2 Note: The flight crew must operate the engines at or near idle thrust for a cooling period of
3 min before engine shutdown, in order to thermally stabilize the engines.
Idle reverse thrust and normal thrust to maneuver during taxi (i.e. at or near idle), are
not considered as high thrust operations. Therefore, both of the following applies:
‐ If the flight crew uses idle reverse thrust for landing and normal thrust to maneuver
during taxi after landing, the cooling period starts when the flight crew retards the
thrust lever during the flare
‐ If the flight crew uses maximum reverse for landing, the cooling period starts when
the flight crew sets the thrust lever to idle reverse during the landing rollout.
Before engine shutdown, routine cooling periods that last less than the required time,
can result in engine degradation.

Except in some operational conditions (e.g. uphill slopes, slippery taxiways or high gross weights),
brake life and fuel savings may govern company policy on permitting aircraft to taxi with one engine
shut down.
Before applying this procedure, the flight crew should be aware of the following:
‐ Taxi with one engine shut down may require higher thrust than usual. Caution must therefore be
exercised to avoid excessive jet-blast and the risk of Foreign Object Damage (FOD)
‐ Slow or tight turns in the direction of the operating engine may not be possible at high gross
weights
‐ When one engine taxi is planned, pay particular attention to the fuel imbalance limitation for the
next take-off.
