NAVIGATION
GPS
Global Positioning System is a space-based radio navigation system used to determine precise position anywhere in the world. The 24 satellite
constellation is designed to ensure at least 5 satellites are always visible to a user worldwide. A minimum of 4 satellites is necessary for receivers
to establish an accurate three-dimensional position.
RAIM
Receiver Autonomous Integrity Monitoring is the capability of a GPS receiver to perform integrity monitoring on itself by ensuring available
satellite signals for a given phase of flight. This fault detection is critical for performance-based navigation (PBN) and Area Navigation (RNAV).
RAIM requires a minimum of 5 satellites, or 4 satellites and barometric altimeter input (baro-aiding), to detect an integrity anomaly.
PBN
Performance Based Navigation, which are RNAV & RNP.
RNAV
Area Navigation is a method that permits navigation point-to-point using position by on board navigation system such as IRS, GPS and aids by using
information from ground based aids such as VOR/DME DME/DME.
RNP
RNAV with on board monitoring and alerting capability.
RNAV 10: Oceanic
RNAV 5: B-RNAV: Continental
RNAV 1 & 2: Terminal RNAV
RNP APCH: RNAV GNSS
RNP AR: Authorization Required
RVSM
Reduced Vertical Separation Minima is a reduction of the standard vertical separation required between aircraft flying between FL290 - FL410
inclusive, from 2,000 feet to 1,000 feet.
*note: In 1958 the standard vertical separation was 1,000ft up to FL290, and 2,000ft above FL290. This was because the accuracy of the
pressure altimeter decreases with height.
RVSM Requirement
Between PFD 25ft (ground). 130-195ft (flight depends altitude FCOM)
Airport elevation vs barometric altitude (75ft)
Must not over/undershoot target altitude by more than 150ft
RVSM Contingency Procedures
"Unable RVSM due to equipment/turbulence" – in case no contact with ATC, NORTH TURN = DESCEND 300ft, SOUTH TURN = CLIMB 300ft
ETOPS
Extended Operations - any flight by an aeroplane with 2 engines where flight time at 1 engine inoperative, from a point on route to an adequate
alternate aerodrome, is greater than threshold time approved by State of Operator.

FULL EXTENSION – REJECTED TAKEOFF PHASE
▪ If spoilers armed and speed exceeds 72 kt, ground spoilers automatically extend as both thrust levers are reset to idle.
▪ If spoilers not armed and speed exceeds 72 kt, ground spoilers automatically extend as reverse is selected on one engine.

FULL EXTENSION - LANDING PHASE


▪ If spoilers armed and both thrust levers idle, ground spoilers automatically extend as both main landing gears touched down.
▪ If spoilers not armed and both main landing gears touched down, ground spoilers automatically extend as reverse is selected on one engine.

PARTIAL EXTENSION
Ground spoilers partially extend when reverse is selected on at least one engine, and one main landing gear strut is compressed.
This partial extension decreasing lift eases compression of second main landing gear strut and leads to full ground spoiler extension.

RETRACTION
After landing or after a rejected takeoff, when ground spoilers are disarmed.
During a touch and go, when at least one thrust lever is advanced above 20°.

SPEEDBRAKE DEFLECTION
Maximum with no AP is 40° for spoilers 3 and 4 & 20° for spoiler 2

and approximately 30 NM to 80 NM longitudinally (depending on aircraft configuration and external conditions), and within a maximum altitude
range of 9900ft above and below aircraft.

System includes:
‐ A single channel TCAS computer
‐ 2 TCAS antennas
‐ 2 MODE-S ATC transponders, one active or in standby
‐ An ATC /TCAS control panel.

TCAS divides space surrounding aircraft into following 4 zones:


‐ Other intruders – Closer than 30NM laterally. ◊
‐ Proximate intruders – Closer than 6NM laterally and ±1200ft vertically. ♦
‐ Traffic Advisory (TA) - Potential collision threat, TAU is about 40s. ●
‐ Resolution Advisory (RA) – Real Collision threat, TAU is about 25s. ■
*TAU = estimated time collision

TRAFFIC selector range:

ATA 36 PNEUMATIC
Pneumatic System supplies High-Pressure (HP) air for:
1. Air Conditioning (PACK).
2. Engine starting.
3. Wing anti-icing.
4. Water pressurization.
5. Hydraulic reservoir pressurization.
6. FWD & AFT cargo heating.
7. Fuel Tank Inerting System (FTIS).

HP air has 3 sources:


1. Engine bleed systems
2. APU load compressor
3. HP ground connection (Ground Pneumatic Unit)

2 BMC (Bleed Monitoring Computers) controls and monitors (bleed pressure, temperature, and valve position) each system.
If one BMC fails, or one takes over most of monitoring functions.
Each bleed valve is pneumatically operated and controlled electrically by its associated BMC

A leak detection system detects any overheating in vicinity of hot air ducts.
Air is normally bled from intermediate pressure stage (IP) to minimize fuel penalty.
At low engine speed, when pressure & temperature of IP too low, system bleeds air from HP stage and maintains it at 36 ± 4 PSI.
An IP check valve downstream closes to prevent air from HP stage from being circulated to IP stage.

Bleed Valve, which is downstream of junction of HP and IP ducting, acts as a shut-off and pressure regulating valve. It maintains at 45 ± 5 PSI.
Bleed Valve is fully closed:
‐ Pneumatically:
• If upstream pressure goes below 8 PSI.
• If there is return flow.
‐ Electrically by means of:
• BLEED pushbutton switch (switched OFF).
• ENG FIRE pushbutton (pushed).
• Bleed air Monitoring Computer (BMC) in following cases:
‐ Over temperature, overpressure, leak, open starter valve, engine shutdown, APU bleed ON, no bleed consumers.

If pressure regulation fails, overpressure valve closes when pressure goes over 85 PSI (NEO 75 PSI).

A320-QG SUMMARY by OTX | 18


APU Bleed - When pb-sw is ON, APU bleed supplies pneumatic system, if APU speed is above 95 %. This opens crossbleed valve and closes engine
bleed automatically. It automatically closes in case of APU leak, left wing leak, or engine 1 leak (except during engine start).

Crossbleed valve on crossbleed duct allows air supply systems of two engines to be isolated or interconnected.
2 electric motors, 1 for automatic mode and 1 for manual mode, control valve.
In automatic mode, crossbleed opens when use APU bleed air. It closes, if system detects an air leak (except during engine start).

- Mel can be use up to commencement of flight (Take-off Thrust)


- Failure during taxi phase, before takeoff roll, any decision to continue subject to pilot judgment and good airmanship.
- Failure in-flight, procedures and limitations to be applied in flight are available in FCOM and QRH.
- However, MEL may be consulted in flight, only to decide where to perform an in-flight turn back, depending on:
 GO/NO GO status of failed item
 Possibility to repair failure at destination.

Rectification Interval Categories:


 Category A - Shall be rectified in accordance with conditions stated in MMEL. Start at day following day of discovery.
 Category B - Shall be rectified within 3 consecutive calendar days, excluding day of discovery.
 Category C - Shall be rectified within 10 consecutive calendar days, excluding day of discovery

APPENDIX A

ENGINE OUT ACCELERATION HEIGHT (A.6.3.1)


Must be at least 400ft AGL (*FCTM), however Citilink has set 1,500ft AGL as default.
It may be higher due to obstacle clearance requirements, or it may be lower due to the maximum acceleration altitude limitation.
The acceleration heights to be concern are:
1. Circling Minima (3nm from the aerodrome)
2. Minimum Safe Altitude (25nm from prescribed fix)
3. Other Obstacle Clearance Altitude requirements.
The maximum acceleration altitude is limited by the 10 minutes Takeoff Thrust (TOGA / FLEX for Airbus fleet) limitation.
