 EXTERIOR LIGHTING

Strobe lights

Navigation lights On A320 aircraft fitted with Sharklets, the

navigation and the strobe lights on the wings
have different position and technology (LED).
In certain conditions, the strobe lights may
cause distraction during the flight. The flight
crew can switch them off if the lights cause
any visual trouble.

A blue light below each light monitor the wear

Blue lights of the light. When this light flashes blue, the
strobe light replacement should be planned.

A320 > A320 Sharklets 6/14

 Due to a modification introduced in the FAC,
VMCG are increased by 1.6 kt and by 1 kt for CFM
and IAE engines respectively.
The minimum control speeds VMCA and VMCL
remain unchanged.

A320 > A320 Sharklets 7/14

 Maximum wind conditions for CAT II or CAT III
automatic approach, landing and rollout are different.

A320 > A320 Sharklets 8/14

 There are additional automatic rollout limitations on
the A320 Sharklets for the use of thrust reverser.

A320 > A320 Sharklets 9/14

 The maximum allowed wing fuel imbalance limitations are different at takeoff.

A320 > A320 Sharklets 10/14

 This caution is triggered when the system detects that the pitch
trim value set on the handwheel and the pitch trim value entered
in the MCDU disagree.

A320 > A320 Sharklets 11/14

 On A320 Sharklets, in case of YAW DAMPER SYS
failure, the flight controls remain in ALTN LAW at
landing gear extension.
