message appears, do not press any MCDU key until the message clears.
In the case of ACARS* operations, or EFB operations with SYNCHRO AVIONICS*, the following actions are
already performed in the section “FMGS Pre-Initialization” of the PRELIMINARY COCKPIT PREPARATION
procedure and do not need to be performed again:
- ENGINE & AIRCRAFT TYPE check

- FM database validity check

GROSS WEIGHT INSERTION (INIT B PAGE)
ZFW/ZFWCG.......................................................................................................................INSERT
BLOCK FUEL........................................................................................................................INSERT
CAUTION The characteristics speeds displayed on the MCDU (green dot, F, S, VLS) are computed from the ZFW and
ZFWCG entered by the crew on the MCDU.
Therefore, this data must be carefully checked (Captain’s responsibility).
- The flight crew should insert the weights after completing all other insertions. This is to avoid
cycles of prediction computations at each change in flight plan, constraints, etc.
- If ZFW and ZFWCG are unavailable, it is acceptable to enter the expected values in order to obtain
predictions. Similarly, the flight crew may enter the expected fuel on board, if refueling has not
been completed at that time.
- If ZFW, ZFWCG and BLOCK FUEL are inserted, the FMS will provide all predictions, as well as the
EXTRA fuel, if any.
TAKE OFF DATA INSERTION (PERF TAKEOFF PAGE)
The PF inserts the takeoff data in the PERF TAKEOFF page of the MCDU.
T.O SHIFT......................................................................................................INSERT AS REQUIRED

▪ If the aircraft takes off from an intersection, insert a T.O shift value (even when GPS PRIMARY is active) to increase flight crew
awareness of the runway length reduction.

CLIMB, CRUISE, DESCEND, SPEED PRESELECTION
PRESET SPEEDS…............................................................................................................AS RQRD

▪ If the flight is cleared for a close-in turn or close-in altitude constraint, the flight crew may preselect green dot speed on the PERF
CLB page. Once the CLB phase is active, the preselected speed will be displayed in the FCU speed window and on the PFD (blue
symbol). Once the turn is completed or the altitude cleared, the pilot will resume the managed speed profile by pressing the SPD
selector on the FCU.
▪ Similarly, the pilot may select a CRZ MACH number on the PERF CRZ page (constant CRZ Mach segment, for example).
When the CRZ phase is active, the preselected CRZ MACH number will be displayed in the FCU speed window and on the PFD.
When ECON MACH number may be resumed, the crew presses the FCU SPD selector.
▪ In either of the above cases, the pilot may cancel the CLB or CRZ preselected SPD/MACH prior to activating the related phase,
by selecting ECON on the PERF CLB or CRZ pages.
SPD LIM is defaulted to 250 kt below 10 000 ft in the managed speed profile. This may be either cleared or modified on the VERT
REV page at the origin (or a climb waypoint).
25
CHECK OF FMGS PREPARATION
FMS PREPARATION......................................................................................................CROSSCHECK
▪ After the PF prepares the FMS, the PM checks all the data entered in the FMS. This check includes a crosscheck between:
- Waypoints of the expected departure route that include constraints

- Waypoints of the flight plan and the computerized flight plan
- Initial cruise altitude and the computerized flight plan

- Total track miles and the computerized flight plan
- Fuel remaining at destination and the computerized flight plan
- Performance data displayed on the PM’s EFB with the PERF TAKE OFF page. This includes modifications of the THR
RED/ ACCEL/ EO ACCEL settings, if applicable
- TRANS ALT in the ACTIVE/PERF page
- Setup of the SEC flight plan.

▪ The PM should have the same mental image of the intended departure procedure, trajectory, and constraints as the PF. The PM
should check with the PF if anything is not clear.

TYPES OF APPROACHES
Initial approach
When reaching the Initial Approach Fix (IAF) the flight crew should have a defined approach strategy based
on the selected type of approach: a choice of the guidance mode that will be used and the associated
approach technique (decelerated approach or early stabilized approach).
Decelerated approach
The decelerated approach is the default strategy used by the FMS to compute the descent and approach
path. It is the recommended strategy for approaches using managed vertical guidance: ILS, GLS, SLS, MLS,
FLS and FINAL APP.
In a decelerated approach, the aircraft is decelerating during its final approach segment to be stabilized at
VAPP at 1000ft above the airport elevation. In most cases, it reaches the Final Descent Point (FDP) in CONF1
at S speed. However, in some cases, when the deceleration capabilities are low (e.g. heavy aircraft, a high
elevation airport or tailwind), or for particular approaches with a deceleration segment located at low height,
the flight crew should select CONF 2 before the FDP. The FCOM recommends to select CONF 2 before the
FDP when the interception of the final approach segment is below 2000ft AGL (A320). In this case, for ILS,
MLS or GLS approaches, or when using FLS guidance, it is good practice to select FLAPS 2 when one dot
below the glideslope on the PFD deviation scale.
61
Early stabilized approach
The early stabilized approach is the recommended technique for approach using selected FPA vertical
guidance. When the interception height of the final descent segment is low (below 2000ft for A320), it may
also be used as an alternative to the decelerated approach to reduce flight crew workload. Early stabilized
approach can also be used when the weather conditions make it too difficult to use the decelerated
approach. During an early stabilized approach, the aircraft reaches the FDP at VAPP and in its landing
configuration. To do so, the flight crew enters a speed constraint at the FDP in the FMS flight plan to enable
the FMS to compute an associated deceleration point.
STABILIZATION CRITERIA
The stabilization height is defined as one of the following:
- 1000 ft above airfield elevation (AAL) in Instrument Meteorological Conditions (IMC), or

- 500 ft above airfield elevation (AAL) in Visual Meteorological Conditions (VMC), or
- Any other height defined in Operator policies or regulations.
In order for the approach to be stabilized, all of the following conditions must be satisfied before, or at the
stabilization height:
- The aircraft is on the correct lateral and vertical flight path.

- The aircraft is in the desired landing configuration.
- The thrust is stabilized, usually above idle, and the aircraft is at target speed for approach.
- The flight crew does not detect any excessive flight parameter deviation.
If one of the above-mentionned conditions is not satisfied, the flight crew must initiate a go-around, unless
they estimate that only small corrections are required to recover stabilized approach conditions.
Note : If the predicted tailwind at landing is greater than 10 kt, decelerated approach is not permitted, and the aircraft speed should
be stabilized at around VREF + 5 kt in final.
62
FLYING REFERENCE
Use the following recommended flying reference:
- In vertical managed modes: HDG - V/S reference associated with the FD crossbars.
- In vertical selected modes: TRK - FPA reference associated with FPD.
DISCONTINUED APPROACH
In order to discontinue an approach when the aircraft if 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.
➢ If at or above the FCU altitude:

Announce “CANCEL APPROACH”
To disarm any AP/FD approach mode, press APPR pb or LOC pb.
Select lateral mode as required (NAV or HDG mode).
Select vertical mode as required (level off or adjust V/S).
Select SPEED and adjust.
➢ If F-PLN has no destination anymore:

Perform a LAT REV at the last waypoint and redefine the destination in the NEW DEST field.

INITIAL APPROACH
GENERAL
The initial approach procedure described here is a general guidance whatever the type of approach
expected.
INITIAL APPROACH
F-PLN SEQUENCING.............................................................................................................ADJUST
▪ A good clue 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 or 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 or TRK mode, approximately 15 NM from touchdown, activate and confirm APPR phase on the PERF DES
page.
MANAGED SPEED..................................................................................................................CHECK
FLIGHT PATH....................................................................................................................MONITOR
▪ In NAV mode, use V/DEV information on the PFD and PROG page.
▪ In HDG or TRK mode, use the energy circle on ND representing the required distance to land.

INTERMEDIATE/FINAL APPROACH
GENERAL
The intermediate and final approach procedure described here is a general guidance whatever the type of
approach expected.
AT GREEN DOT SPEED
FLAPS 1...............................................................................................................................ORDER
FLAPS 1..............................................................................................................................SELECT
▪ FLAPS 1 should be selected more than 3 NM before the Final Descend Point.
▪ Check the aircraft deceleration toward S speed
▪ For decelerated approaches, the aircraft must reach or be established on the final descent with FLAPS 1 and S speed at or above
2000 ft AGL.
▪ If the aircraft does not decelerate on the flight path or aircraft speed is significantly higher than S speed, extend the landing gear
in order to slow down. The use of speed brakes is possible. However, the flight crew should be aware that the use of speed brakes
causes an increase in VLS.

CIRCLING APPROACH
GENERAL
The circling approach is the visual phase of an instrument approach to bring an aircraft into position for
landing on a runway which is not suitably for a straight-in approach.
APPROACH PREPARATION
For a circling approach, the approach preparation should include the following additional items in the FMS
programming.
➢ F-PLN
Introduce the instrument approach procedure, including the missed approach procedure for
instrument approach.
➢ SEC F-PLN
The landing runway must be inserted into the SEC F-PLN
Update the SEC F-PLN as follows:

• Copy the active F-PLN
• Revise the landing runway.
INSTRUMENT APPROACH
The flight crew flies a stabilized approach at “F” speed, configuration 3 and landing gear down.
CIRCLING APPROACH
➢ At the Circling MDA(H) at the latest:

Perform a level off
➢ At MAP, if the flight crew finds no visual references:

Initiate a go around
➢ When required conditions for circling are satisfied:

Select TRK/FPA
Proceed downwind leg
At any time in the downwind, activate the SEC F-PLN
Disconnect the AP and remove the FDs at the latest before starting the descent toward the runway.
Set the landing configuration when appropriate, but ensure early stabilization in final.
If, at any time during the circling procedure, the required visual references are lost, initiate a go around
following the missed approach of the initial instrument approach (unless otherwise specified).
76
CIRCLING APPROACH FLOW PATTERN
77
RNAV VISUAL APPROACH
GENERAL
The aircraft navigates using the RNAV system, but the position is monitored by visual reference to the
ground, obstacles and other traffic.
RNAV visual approach must be stored and retrievable from the Navigation Database.
FMGC GUIDANCE MODE
➢ If no required accuracy is published:

The use of FMGC guidance mode is at flight crew discretion.
➢ If RNAV 1 or RNP 1 is required on the published approach chart:

The flight crew should use adequate FMGC guidance modes.
DESCENT PREPARATION
For approach data insertion in the FMS, keep the BARO/MDA field empty on the PERF APPR Page.
DESCENT
For RNAV VISUAL approaches requiring GPS, check that GPS PRIMARY is available on at least 1 FMS.
FINAL APPROACH
The flight crew must disconnect the AP at the latest at the Minimum Use Height of the AP.
78
VISUAL APPROACH
GENERAL
Perform the approach on a nominal 3° glideslope using visual references. Approach to be stabilized by 500
ft AGL on the correct approach path, in the landing configuration, at VAPP.
Method:
- The AP is not used

- Both FDs are OFF
- FPV use is recommended
- A/THR use is recommended with managed speed.
Bear in mind the possible risk of optical illusion due to hindered night vision.
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.
Therefore, at the beginning of the downwind leg:
- Manually ACTIVATE APPR

- Select FDs to OFF
- Select TRK FPA to have FPV displayed
- Check A/THR active.
Extend the downwind leg to 3s / 100ft (± 1s/1 kt of headwind/tailwind).
Turn into base leg with a maximum of 30° of bank. Descent with approximate FPA, in FLAPS 2, at F
speed.
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.
79
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 on the last 100ft, in order to have the best chance of performing a good
touchdown at the desired position.

MANUAL ENGINE START
Pilots normally use automatic starting to start an engine.
However, manual starting is recommended in the following cases:
- After aborting a start, because of:

o Engine stall
o Engine EGT overlimit
o Low start air pressure
- When expecting a start abort, because of:
o Degraded bleed performance, due to hot conditions, or at high-altitude airfields.
o An engine with a reduced EGT margin, in hot conditions, or at high-altitude airfields.
o Marginal performance of the external pneumatic power group.
o Intermittent ECAM ENG 1(2) IGN A(B) FAULT alert, during the first start of the day.
MANUAL ENGINE START PROCEDURE
Note:
During a manual engine start, if the flight crew suspects an engine malfunction, or if an engine-related ECAM alert is triggered, the PF
must abort the start sequence as follows:
- Before the ENG MASTER lever is set to ON, the PF must set the ENG MAN START pb-sw to OFF.
- After the ENG MASTER lever is set to ON, the PF must set the ENG MASTER lever to OFF, and then the MAN ENG START pb-
sw to OFF.
In that case, the flight crew should consider a dry crank cycle of the affected engine before they perform another start
attempt.
Then, in the case of an ECAM alert, the PF must announce “ECAM actions”, in accordance with the ECAM management philosophy.
THR LEVERS............................................................................................................................IDLE
CAUTION The engines start regardless of the thrust lever position. If the thrust levers are not set to IDLE, the thrust
rapidly increases to the corresponding thrust lever position, causing hazardous situations.
