A TDU in the FCOM informs the flight crew about a temporary change in a normal Standard
Operating Procedure, Advisory or Limitations. The TDU contains the reason for change in order to
better understand and memorize this temporary change.
The TDU contains several indications:
‐ The date of application of the new or revised content
‐ The reason for change explains why the section is updated with a short general description of the
malfunction
‐ The yellow dash line indicates the affected documentary unit
‐ When applicable, the arrow link provides a link to the previous content.
A TAB is a description of a system behavior that temporarily deviates from the intended system
design and that the flight crew can notice.
The TAB enables the flight crew to better recognize, understand and if applicable, react to the
abnormal system behavior in order to avoid any undue operational delay.
When applicable, temporary abnormal behaviors are described in the related section of the Aircraft
System in a dedicated product folder identified as "Temporary Abnormal Behaviors".
Each TAB contains a description of the malfunction with alternative instruction called "Operational
recommendation" (if applicable).
