ABNORMAL PROCEDURES

SRS MODE (Speed Reference System)


The SRS Mode or Speed Reference Mode, controls pitch to steer the aircraft along a path in the vertical
plain at a speed defined by the SRS guidance law . In the SRS mode the aircraft maintains a speed
target of V2 + 10kts in normal engine configuration, with a pitch angle of 18 ° and a vertical speed
of 120ft/min.

In case of Windshear
In case of a windshear, the pitch angle will increase to 22 ½°.

If V2 is not entered:
If V2 is not entered, the SRS Mode will not engage and the ATHR will not arm . Vertical Guidance will
not be available and 5 seconds after lift-off V/S mode will engage at the current speed.
At Thrust Reduction Altitude:
1 SELECT SPD
2 ARM ATHR
3 FD's ON
4 Manage SPD

If Gross Weight is not entered:


If Gross Weight is not entered, no managed speeds will be available other than preset speeds, after
coming out of the take-off phase. Select SPD, Arm ATHR, FD's ON, Manage SPD.

In case of Engine failure on take-off:


In case of engine failure condition, the speed target becomes:
highest of V2 or current speed, limited to V2 + 15kts. SRS mode will automatically at Engine Out
acceleration altitude.

No FD's at Take-Off
FD's not selected for Take-off TOGA
Speed will be defaulted to 100Kts. Select TOGA as FLX Thrust will not be available. SRS will not be
available. Rotate to 15°
ATHR will not get armed. Speed will remain at CLB THURST till ATHR is engaged. Then speed will
target will be 100kts.
At Thrust Reduction Altitude: 1. Select SPD, 2.Arm ATHR, 3.FD's ON, 4.Manage SPD.

FD's trip after Take-off initiated (After Take -Off Thrust is set)
FLX 46 ATHR
Speed will be defaulted to Current SPD or V2 whichever is higher. FLX Thrust is still available.
ATHR will remain Armed. SRS guidance not available. Rotate to 15°
At Thrust reduction altitude CLB will flash. Speed should be selected before selecting CLB Thrust since SPD
is defaulted to V2 or SPD at when FD's disengaged.
At Thrust Reduction Altitude: Select SPD, Select CLB Thrust, FD's ON, Manage SPD.

Abnormal Engine Starts contd….

ENGINE TAILPIPE FIRE :


A tailpipe fire may occur at engine start or shutdown due to excess fuel in the combustion chambre or an
oil leak in the LP Turbine. The excess fuel resuls from an overfuel command by the FADEC or from a
rotating stall or a malfunctioning ignition system. This excess fuel ignites in the combustion chamber
with the engine rotating too slowly leading to an INTERNAL FIRE WITHIN THE ENGINE CORE or some fuel
burn in the AFT LP TURBINE RACE. This fire is contained within the engine and has minimum risk to
develop in an engine fire. DO NOT PRESS THE FIRE Pb AND DISCHARGE THE AGENT

After Landing:
V 2500 Engines: After operation above REV IDLE thrust, or after operation at power above normal taxi
maneuvering power, run the engine at idle or near idle for a 3 min cooling period, to avoid rotor case
interactions that cause performance degradations of the engine, and possible HPC blade damage.

CFM 56 Engines: After landing, operate the engines at idle for 3 min before shutdown in order to
thermally stabilise the hot section.

EMERGENCY PROCEDURES

REJECT TAKE-OFF
Rejecting a takeoff is a serious and tricky affair. It is purely the Captains decision and therefore he MUST
keep his hand on the Thrust Levers until the aircraft reaches V1. Even if he is the PNF, his hand should be
on the T/L's once T/O thrust is set. Above 100kts specifically for Short Fields, a RTO can be hazardous and
it is recommended that it is better to be 'GO MINDED' and very few situations should lead to decision to
reject a take-off.
Exceptional cases such as Fire Warning, Severe Damage, Red ECAM warnings, Engine Fail, Rev Unlock
or malfunctions which suggest that the A/C will not fly safely should be considered above 100kts and
below V1 to reject a T/O.

* Action can be taken anytime when the A/C is under control.


* When an Engine fails after T/O, select Mode Sel to IGN so that before FADEC spools
down, FADEC auto re-light feature is armed.
* Thrust Levers are with PF. PF will retard the respective Thrust Lever only after
confirmation by the PNF.
* Master Switches are with the PNF and after confirmation with PF, the PNF will
cut the respective master switch.

FADEC FAULT: Check all EPR(V2500), EGT, N1 & N2 parameters will be XX


Check on ENG Pg for OIL Pr. If low then cut engine.

FUEL CTL UNIT: EPR(V2500) goes over limit. Bring the THRUST LEVERS back.
If Power is not coming back then CUT OFF Engine.

OVER LIMIT: Bring the Thrust Levers back. If parameters become alright, then
leave the Thrust Levers in IDLE. If Parameters do not come back
to normal then CUT OFF Engine. May happen due Temp Inversion.

REV UNLOCKED: In case of REV UNLOCK, if buffet is there then then CUT engine.
If there is no buffet then there is no need to cut engine as the
reversers get stowed automatically when T/L is retarded.
Follow the ECAM procedure religiously.

ENGINE STALL: Bring T/L to idle after stall and if there is no noise and ENG is not
damaged, then once settled move T/L Fwd. If no noise then
select Wing A/I ON to increase stall margin.

ENGINE DAMAGE: Do not let the " WHOOP WHOOP " engine sound come more than 3
times or else EGT will go into the red band and may damage
the engine. If EGT goes into the red band and damages the engine
then PUSH the FIRE Pb and discharge the agent ONLY if FIRE
Warning sounds.
IF NO FIRE WARNING, DO NOT discharge the agent

This happens due to either CPC 1+2 Failulure or Both Pack Failure

CABIN ALTITUDE CROSSES 14000FT


1. CREW OXY MASKS DON …. 100% (IMMEDIATELY WITHOUT DELAY)

2. CREW COMMUNICATIONS ESTABLISH(Put head set on & fold speaker up to fit over mask)
To talk select INT, otherwise put swt to RAD. This eliminates breathing sound and
as the cockpit will be extremely noisy. When using the headsets, the mic should be
turned upwards as you will be using the mic from the oxygen mask.

3. CABIN CREW …. PA NOTIFY Inform cabin Crew about Emergency Descent


Since stress levels will be high it is important that both crew perform their tasks in a
systematic manner. COCKPIT CRM IS VITAL AND SOP'S SHOULD BE STRICTLY ADHERED TO.

EMERGENCY PROCEDURES
LANDING IN DIRECT LAW
RA 1+ 2 Fault

WHEN L/G DN: DIRECT LAW


Since status indicates that the A/C will revert to
Direct law once LDG GR is selected down, It is
therefore important to review this procedure
for LANDING IN DIRECT LAW, before commencing
approach from FCOM VOL PRO-ABN-27 P35 &36/68,
since this procedure does not appear on STATUS Page
Page until the gear is selected down.

Important Points to be kept in Mind when Landing in Direct Law:


1. Landing will be done in Config 3.
2. MCDU PERF Pg to be set up accordingly. Vref = Vls Cofig Full + 10kts; Then select Config 3
3. Select GPWS LDG FLAP 3 Pb.

4. In Direct Law, Auto Trim will not be available. So select the gear down only after selecting
Config 3, and after the A/C has reached Vapp and is in trimmed condition after commencing
descent from the FAF.

Note: In case you are shooting an ILS Approach with a RA 1+2 Fault, you will not be able
to ARM the Approach. Only LOC Pb is available. The Glideslope will have to be intercepted
manually.

IN CASE STALL WARNING SOUNDS AT LIFT-OFF:


1. TOGA SELECT
2. PITCH TO 15°
3. WINGS LEVEL
Note that spurious warning may sound in Normal Law due to damaged AOA probe. When safe
flight path and speed are achieved and if stall warning continues consider it as spurious.

The immediate key action is to reduce AOA; This reduction will enable the wing to regain LIFT.
Simultaneously the flight crew must ensure that the wings are level in order to reduce the
lift necessary for the flight, and as a consequence of, the required AOA. As a general rule,
minimizing the loss of altitude is secondary to the reduction of AOA as the first priority is to
regain LIFT. As the AOA reduces below the AOA stall, LIFT & DRAG will return to their normal
values.
The secondary action is to increase energy; When stall indications have stopped,
increase thrust smoothly as needed and must ensure that SPEED BRAKES are retracted.
Immediate thrust application upon stall recognition is NOT APPROPRIATE. Due to
the engine spool up time, the aircraft speed increases which results from increased
thrust is slow, and does not enable the aircraft to reduce AOA instantaneously.
Furthermore, for under wing mounted engines, the thrust increase generates a pitch up tendancy
that may prevent the required reduction in AOA.
