Emergency briefing

The emergency briefing is performed by the PF in the first flight of the crew (it can be the FO or
the Captain). The only person who can abort a takeoff will be the captain, so the captain will
always pronounce the call “STOP”.

Note: words before a slash will be pronounced by the captain (for example, I will call STOP) and
words after slash (for example, you will call STOP) will be pronounced by the FO. Just one pilot
describes all the briefing bellow:

This will be a left/right seat take off. Standard callouts, standard operating procedures.

We will abort the Take off in case of any failure below 100 kt or any following situation above
100 kt and below V1:

− Fire warning or severe damage.

− Sudden loss of engine thrust.
− Malfunctions or conditions that give unambiguous indications that the aircraft will
not fly safely.
− Any Red ECAM warnings
− Any amber ECAM caution
Then…
