The actions for ACP and RMP are duplicated in both the preliminary cockpit preparation and
the cockpit preparation. This is in order to ensure that the radios are set, in the case the APU
fire test is not performed by the flight crew, or the APU was already started by the ground
crew.
Previously, the checklists included this “challenge-response” item, as a safety net, to ensure
the appropriate setting.

However, on A320neo aircraft, the FADEC enhancements enable to rapidly manage a
degradation of the thrust, and can activate the igniters to ensure that appropriate thrust is
provided. To reflect these FADEC enhancements, the SOP and checklists are adapted. The
SOP action “set engine rotary selector as required” remains applicable to A320ceo and
A320neo aircraft, in order to maintain the same SOP standard.
For the normal checklists, this item is removed from A320neo aircraft. It is maintained for
A320ceo aircraft, with the confirmation of the PF that checks the position of the engine mode
selector.
● The FCOM Descent Preparation procedure now requires the preset of the QNH
setting on the ISIS
● The FCTM Briefing chapter emphasizes the barometric setting, as a possible threat
● The FCTM Approach General chapter provides recommendations related to the use
of the barometric reference.

However, the GPS PRIMARY LOST message is the only alert that should trigger a check of
the navigation accuracy by the flight crew. The information related to this action is also
updated to indicate that the flight crew should check the navigation accuracy data on the
FMS PROGRESS page.
In the FCOM PRO-SPO-PBN, the chapters of the Management of Degraded Navigation are
updated for several types of PBN operations. The reference to the NAVAID raw data is
removed when the flight crew must check their position on the FMS POSITION/MONITOR
page.

The After Landing flow pattern and the APU actions are modified to replace the
actions related to APU….START with APU…AS RQRD. This enables to perform taxi
without APU, when possible.
The One Engine Taxi at Arrival section is added in the SOP between the "After
Landing” and “Parking” sections. It replaces the previous supplementary procedure
“One Engine Taxi - At Arrival”.
This procedure only applies if the flight crew decides to perform the One Engine Taxi
at arrival.
The above changes are also applied in the Parking flow pattern.
● Supplementary Procedures:
● The section “One Engine Taxi - General” is updated to add:
○ A new recommendation to not cross an active runway during One
Engine Taxi
○ A new recommendation to check the current aircraft MEL dispatch
prior to performing One Engine Taxi.
The flight crew must check that the aircraft is not under one of the
MEL dispatch conditions listed in the new TDU “One Engine Taxi -
MMEL Consideration”.

● Addition of the “One Engine Taxi without APU Running” item in the Aircraft
Configuration Summary.
Note: The aircraft is capable of performing the One Engine Taxi without APU running,
if it is an:
● The Parking Checklist is updated to add an action to check that the yellow electrical
pump is OFF. This is to ensure that the yellow electrical pump is set back to OFF, to
avoid that the flight crew leaves the aircraft with the hydraulic system still running
without any supervision.
FCTM:
● SOP:
●
Addition of the One Engine Taxi at Arrival section that provides specific
recommendations for this type of operation.
● Modification of the Parking / Use of APU Bleed section to provide specific
recommendations when the APU is used.
● Normal Checklists:
● The Parking Checklist is updated to add an action to check that the yellow
electrical pump is OFF.

The FCTM section “Leaving the Go-Around Phase” is updated to consider how and when to
perform the Approach Checklist following a go-around.
11. SOP - Pitch & Speed during Go-Around near the Ground
11.1. Effect on the Manual
● FCTM:
○ Update of the Procedures / Normal Procedures / Standard Operating
Procedures / Go-Around / Go-Around near the Ground.

○ Update of the Procedures / Normal Procedures / Standard Operating
Procedures / Parking.
Additionally, the action to turn off the YELLOW ELEC PUMP is added to the PF flow, as part
of the procedure for One Engine Taxi at arrival.
For information, the ground contact and parking brake release (or not) is still not part of the
Parking flow pattern, because the timing of the ground contact initiation can change. The
Parking Checklist can be performed at flight crew convenience, even if ground contact is not
established.
With these changes, the checklist is now fully aligned with the principle of enabling the
Captain to focus on other tasks, while the CM2 will perform all of these actions.

There is no change in the use of summaries. There is only an update of the way to perform
the Arrival Briefing with the support of the summaries, in order to be aligned with the new
flight crew briefing format.

In the FCTM, a new EXCESS CAB ALT chapter is created. For all aircraft equipped with
FWS H2-F5 standard or later standards, the new EXCESS CAB ALT procedure identifies
two different cases, depending on the Flight Level.
20.2. Applicability
FCOM “Hight Altitude Airport Operations” modification applicable to the aircraft equipped
with the MP P8507 or MP P21039.
FCOM “High - Hot Airport Operations” modification applicable to A318 aircraft only.

This new FCTM chapter describes the technique that the flight crew should follow to reach
this increased speed during the go-around maneuver.
This information is now detailed in the Cargo Smoke FCTM chapter, for a better flight crew
awareness about the cargo compartment design and the confirmation of the SMOKE
AFT(FWD) CARGO SMOKE alert.
22.2. Applicability
Applicable to the aircraft equipped with the UAMM STEP2.

23.2. Applicability
Applicable to aircraft equipped with a Digital RMP Std S4, for digital audio, and with a ground
crew boomset with batteries.
If the flight crew needs to communicate with the ground crew during the preliminary cockpit
preparation, each operator must establish an alternate procedure.
24.2. Applicability
Applicable to A320 Family aircraft equipped with a Flight Guidance computer from PI14. To
be corrected with PI19.

After the second engine start, the FMGC may detect a spurious inoperative A/THR.
Depending on if the inoperative A/THR is detected by the FMGC1 or the FMGC2, the A/THR
INOP SYS may be displayed on ground or in flight:
● If the A/THR INOP SYS is displayed in flight, the reset is not authorized. The INOP
SYS is associated with the ECAM alert ENG GA SOFT FAULT, and it is not possible
for the flight crew to identify if the fault comes from the spurious failure or from
another unkown failure.
25.2. Applicability
Applicable to aircraft embodied with the EIU software Std S4.4, per Airbus SB 73-1148.
Airbus added a new reset procedure in FCOM/QRH, to enable an EIU reset by the flight
crew, in specific conditions.

On ground, the CAT 3 DUAL reset procedure is now limited to the change of AP, in
command only, when the engines are not running.
Before November 2023, the “MCDU - Messages” section included a single Documentary
Unit (DU) with a table that describes all the different MCDU messages:

After November 2023, the content was divided into single DUs, one “General” section and
one separate DU for each MCDU message. This simplifies the configuration management,
reduces possible errors, and also reduces the number of revised pages if an update in one
message description is required.
In addition, the description of each message is enhanced. For example, information is added
to indicate if the MCDU message also appears on another cockpit display (e.g. ND or FWC).
