I GENERAL PHILOSOPHY I
The Flight Management Guidance System (FMGS) operates as follows :
During cockpit preparation the crew uses the Multitunetion Control and Display Unit
(MCDU) to insert a preplanned raute fram origin to destination. This raute includes SID,
EN ROUTE, WAYPOINTS, STAR, APPROACH, MISSED APPR, and ALTN raute as available
fram the navigation data base.
Subsequently the system defines a vertical prafile and a speed prafile, taking into account
ATC requirements and performance criteria.
The FMGS computes the aircraft position continually, using stored aircraft performance
data and navigation data. Therefore it can steer the aircraft along a preplanned raute and
vertical and speed prafiles. This type of guidance is said to be "managed".
lf the pilot wants to modify any flight parameter (SPD, V/S, HDG, etc.) temporarily, he may
do so by using the various Flight Contral Unit (FCU) selectors. The FMGS then guides the
aircraft to the target value of this parameter that he has selected. This type of guidance is
said to be "selected".
The two available types of guidance, then, are :
- Managed guidance guides the aircraft along the preplanned raute and the vertical and
speed/Mach prafile. (The FMGS computes the target values of the various flight
parameters).
- Selected guidance guides the aircraft to the target values of the various flight
parameters the pilot selects by using the FCU selectors.
Selected guidance always has priority over managed guidance.

IINTRODUCTION I
The flight management and guidance system (FMGS) performs navigation functions and
lateral and vertical flight planning functions. lt also computes performance parameters and
guides the aircraft along a preplanned raute.
Each FMGC is divided into two main parts :
- The Flight Management (FM) part controls the following functions :
Navigation
Management of flight planning
Prediction and optimization of performance
Management of navigation radios
Management of displays
- The Flight Guidance (FG) part performs the following functions :
Autopilot (AP) command
Flight director (FD) command
Autothrust (A/THR) command
This chapter (4.02) describes the operational principles of flight management and flight
guidance in order to help the reader understand how the FMGS functions.

I NAVIGATION I
Essential navigation functions are described in the volume 1 (1.22.20) but some principles
are reemphasized in this chapter due to their operational impact.

POSITION ACCURACY (PROG PAGE)


The HIGH or LOW accuracy is indicated on the PROG page.
This display is the result of the comparison between the estimated position error (EPE) and
the position accuracy criteria defined by airworthiness authorities for various flight areas.
The flight crew, when the aircraft is not fitted or not using the GPS primary function, must
check the navigation accuracy periodically to confirm the system computation.
When the accuracy changes from low to high (or high to low), both MCDUs and NOs
display the message "NAV ACCUR UPGRAD" (or "NAV ACCUR DOWNGRAD").

NAVIGATION ACCURACY CHECK


When GPS primary is available, the navigation accuracy check is not required.
When GPS primary is not available, the pilot must perform this essential check :
Periodically in cruise,
Prior to initiating descent,
When entering a terminal/approach area.
The procedure is :
While en raute, check the HIGH!LOW accuracy information.
- lf accuracy is "LOW" (and whenever "NAV ACCUR DOWNGRAD" appears), compare
raw data from the tuned navaids with the corresponding FM-computed data on the
navigation display or the MCDU PROG page.
- lf accuracy is "HIGH", periodically perform the comparison (about once per hour).
ln descent, and in terminal and approach areas, validate the estimated accuracy, whether
it is "HIGH" or "LOW", by comparing the FM data with raw data from the VOR/DME at
the destination airfield, if available.

This check verifies and quantifies the FM accuracy. lt confirms the reliability of FMGS data
itself and of the navigation display presentation. lt also validates the use of the NAV mode.
By comparing the bearing, the crew may evaluate the validity of the overall check.
ln area with high magnetic variation change, this comparison of bearings may not be
adequate.
RADIO NAVIGATION TUNING
Each FMGC tunes the navaids it uses for display and computing position.
The FM may tune navaids for display automatically, using an internallogic, or the pilot may
tune them manually on the RADIO NAV page.
The FM tunes automatically the DMEs used for position update. lt scans them constantly.
NAVAIDS USED FOR DISPLAY
The RADIO NAV page, and the ND show which navaids have been tuned for display.

Note : All navaids tuned on the RAD NA V page are used for disp/ay purpose.

NAVAIDS USED FOR POSITION UPDATE


Navaids used for aircraft's position update are displayed on the SELECTED NAVAIDS page.
lf a NAVAID is unreliable, the pilot should deselect it manually.
Note : When the FMGC uses the VOR!DME for radio position, it also uses the related
VOR!DME for disp/ay.
lf the crew has se/ected manually the VOR!DME for disp/ay, and if it is not
convenient for the FMGC to use it for position update, the FMGC will require the
crew to se/ect another VOR!DME. The MCDU will disp/ay the message "TUNE 888
FFF.F", 888 is the Navaid identifier and FFF.F the VOR frequency.

lf the MCDU displays "NOT IN DATA BASE" :


- WRITE the frequency.
- DISREGARD the ident that appears in small font on the MCDU.
When a frequency is entered in the VOR field, the FMGC automatically associates to
the tuned frequency the closest navaid identifier with the same frequency, and
displays it on the RAD NAV page. This identifier may not correspond to the tuned
navaid.
lf the closest navaid, found in the database, is of a different type (e.g. VOR instead
of VOR/DME), the crew will obtain a partial tuning (e.g. VOR indication instead of
VOR/DME indication).
CAUTION
Pilots should use the RMP NAV keys only when both FMGCs or both MCDUs are
inoperative. When at least one FMGC is operative, use of the NAV key on the RMP
(while the LOC update is active) may freeze the FM position during approach, and
must be avoided.

NAVAID IDENTIFICATION
- CHECK the ILS identifier decoding on the PFD, and the VOR or ADF identifier on the
ND.
When the navaid identifier is decoded in agreement with that published, no audio check
is necessary.
When the decoding is different from the published one, check the audio. Due to morse
coding inaccuracy, wrang decoding may sometimes occur.

R
R
CCM ALL

Note: When a DME or a TACAN only is se/ected using either its identifier or its
frequency, the NDs do not disp/ay the decoded indication.

I FLIGHT PLANNING I
The pilot uses the MCDU to insert flight plans into the FMGS :
- a lateral flight plan that defines the intended horizontal flight path
- a vertical flight plan that defines the intended speed and altitude prafile for the aircraft
to follow while flying the lateral flight plan.
Note : The flight planning function is avai/ab/e for both the primary and secondary flight
- - plans.

LATERAL FLIGHT PLANNING


To insert the lateral flight plan, the pilot can use either a company raute number or an ICAO
four-letter city pair. The lateral flight plan includes the following elements :
- Takeoff runway
- Standard instrument departure (SID) and transition to en raute mode
- En raute waypoints and airways
- Transition fram en raute mode and standard terminal arrival raute (STAR)
- Landing runway with selected appraach and appraach via
- Missed appraach
- Alternate flight plan

The FMGS is able to string tagether different types of legs corresponding to specific
patterns (such as DME arc legs, or pracedure turns) that are heading or track referenced.
These are defined in the database : The pilot cannot create these legs.

(3) Create a temporary flight plan, then insert it as a revision to the active flight plan:
The crew does this when selecting, deleting, or modifying several waypoints of an airway
or procedure at once.
The purpose of the temporary flight plan is to enable the pilot to review the revision on the
MCDU and on the ND before inserting it into the active flight plan.

Altitude constraint
Altitude constraints may be attached to specific waypoints in the climb, descent, or
approach phases.
To meet the altitude constraint, the aircraft must fly over the waypoint at an altitude equal,
above or below the altitude constraint as specified by the crew or the database.
An altitude constraint is considered as missed if the system predicts more than 250 feet
of difference between the constraint value and the predicted aircraft altitude.
Altitude constraints are observed in CLB or DES or APP NAV-FINAL modes.

Note : The database may contain an altitude constraint window (two altitudes between
- - which the aircraft must fly passing over a given waypoint), but the flight crew
cannot enter such a constraint manually.
Speed constraint
Speed constraints may be attached to specific waypoints in the climb, descent or approach
phases. To meet the speed constraint, the aircraft must fly over the waypoint with a speed
equal or less than the speed constraint.
A speed constraint is considered as missed if the system predicts an aircraft speed
10 knots greater than the speed constraint.
Speed constraints are observed when NAV mode is engaged and speed target is managed.
Otherwise speed constraints are disregarded.
Time constraint
Time constraint (optional) may be attached to any waypoint except the "from" waypoint.

Note : No constraint can be associated with go araund waypoints.

I PERFORMANCE FUNCTION I
The performance function :
- Optimizes a flight plan
- Computes predictions

FLIGHT OPTIMIZATION
The optimization function computes :
- The best target speed for climb, cruise, and descent (ECON SPD/MACH).
- The best descent path from the cruise flight Ievei to the destination airfield.
- An optimum flight Ievei (for pilot's information).

BEST TARGET SPEED


lt is computed by the FMGS (except for V2). The best target speed (ECON SPD/MACH) is
the basis for the managed speed profile.
ECON SPD/MACH is a function of :
Cast index (Cl)
Cruise flight Ievei (CRZ FL)
Grass weight
Wind and temperature models
The computer processes the ECON SPDs for the climb and descent phases before the
initiation of the flight phase, and freezes the values once the flight phase becomes active.
The computer continually updates ECON CRUISE MACH (SPD), taking into account current
weather conditions and modifications to the flight plan.
lf the cruise FL is below FL 250, ECON CRUISE SPEED is computed.
lf the cruise FL is above FL 250, ECON CRUISE MACH is computed.

WIND PROFILE
To obtain the best predictions, the pilot must enter the wind for the various flight phases
and specifically for waypoints in cruise.
ON GROUND : During flight planning "initialization", enter the winds for the climb and cruise
phases using the HISTORY WIND and WIND pages. Enter, manually or with ACARS,
different wind values in the climb and cruise phases. The system will compute a wind for
all waypoints of the F-PLN using linear interpolation between manuai/ACARS entries.
The wind profile will be displayed on the F-PLN B page, and is called forecast wind profile.
Pilot or ACARS entries are displayed in large font, and system-computed winds in small
font.
The forecast wind profile will be used to compute fuel and time predictions, as weil as
ECON speed/Mach targets.
IN FLIGHT : The system updates the predictions and the current ECON speed, using the
measured wind at the present position. lt combines actual wind and forecast winds to
compute the wind ahead of the aircraft, but this is totally transparent to the crew.
During cruise, the pilot will enter the descent winds and the approach wind. The system
will update the final predictions, compute the best descent profile and best speed in
descent and approach.

The optimum flight Ievei (OPT FL) indicates the most economic flight Ievei for a given cost
index, weight, weather data. lt is continuously updated in flight.
The OPT FL is a compromise between fuel and time saving : lts computation may show
steps due to slight GW, ISA, or wind changes. As a result, the pilot may observe jumps
in OPT FL.
The computation of the OPT FL considers the wind entries made at the different altitudes
(normally at the different CRZ FL).
When flying the subsequent CRZ FL, the OPT FL proposed by the PROG page may be
affected by the wind entries made at the previous CRZ FL ; these winds are automatically
propagated and may be significantly different from the actual winds.

Note : For simplification purposes, the FCOM/QRH gives the OPT FL at a given Mach
- - number. Jt does not consider the cost index, therefore the FMGS and the FCOM/QRH
valves are different.

BEST DESCENT PATH


The vertical flight path is computed to minimize fuel consumption, while satisfying the
various altitude constraints and the descent speed profile, in order to reach VAPP at 1000
feet.
The computer calculates the descent profile before the descent phase is initiated, taking
into account :
- All lateral and vertical flight plan data
- The descent and approach winds, as inserted into the DESCENT WIND page and PERF
APPR page, and the required maximum cabin rate of descent.
During descent, the descent profile is updated, only if the flight plan is modified, or if data
for the APPR phase (WIND, VAPP, or LOG CONF) are changed.

COST INDEX (Cl)


This isafundamental input for the ECON SPEED or ECON MACH computation. ECON SPEED
and ECON MACH reduce the total flight cost in terms of flight time and fuel consumption
(and not only in terms of fuel saving).
The airline's operations department usually defines the cost index, to optimize each
company raute.
The pilot does not ordinarily modify the cost index during a flight.
Cl = 0 corresponds to minimum fuel consumption (Max Range).
Cl = 999 corresponds to minimum time.
Cl = Lang Range Cruise (Refer to 4.05.50).

COMPUTATION OF PREDICTIONS
The system calculates various predictions for the active flight plan and updates them
continually during flight as functions of :
- Revisions to the lateral and vertical flight plans
- Current winds and temperature
- Present position versus lateral and vertical flight plans
- Current guidance modes
The MCDU and the ND show these predictions, each of which is based on specific
assumptions.

Predicitions displayed on the Navigation Display (ND)


These predictions consist of :
symbols positioned along the lateral flight plan (NAV mode engaged) or the track line
(NAV mode not engaged). These symbols (named as pseudo waypoints) and their
meanings are :

For example :
- The continuous green line on the ND represents the track the aircraft is currently
flying :
- lf HDG/TRK is engaged, the track line is green and the flight plan is dashed.
- lf NAV mode is engaged, the green line is the flight plan.
- lf the speed target is manually selected, the speed-change symbol is no Ionger displayed
because it will not be taken into account.
- When the aircraft is not following the vertical flight plan (OPCLB, OPDES, V/S) but the
NAV mode is engaged, the system disregards any altitude constraints and puts white
circles araund the waypoints that have these constraints and positions Ievei symbols
accordingly.
- Pseudo waypoints are adjusted each time predictions are updated.
PREDICTIONS DISPLAYED ON THE MCDU
The predictions displayed on the MCDU assume that AP (or FD order) is controlling the
aircraft and flying it along the preplanned lateral and vertical flight plan.
Therefore :
- lf the aircraft is guided along the flight plan (managed guidance), the MCDU predictions
correspond exactly to what the aircraft is doing.
- lf the aircraft is not guided along the flight plan (selected guidance), the MCDU
predictions assume that it will return immediately to the flight plan, intercepting at a
predetermined angle, and will then proceed under managed guidance.
- lf the aircraft does not fly the managed speed profile (ECON, SPD CSTR ... ), the MCDU
predictions assume that it will remain at the present selected speed/Mach until it
reaches the next SPD CSTR or SPD LIM or enters the next flight phase.

When CLIMB mode is engaged (always associated with lateral NAV mode), the system
takes into account all constraints defined by the database or manually entered by the crew.
Nevertheless this mode has the following particularity :
When the aircraft is in CLB mode and the system predicts that it will miss an altitude
constraint, it will not modify the target speed in an attempt to meet it.
ln this case, the pilot may select an appropriate speed in order to meet the ALT CSTR.

SPECIFIC MODES IN CRUISE PHASE


SOFT ALTITUDE MODE (CRUISE)
The soft altitude mode engages when the aircraft reaches the FCU altitude set as the
cruise flight Ievei (entered in the F-PLN or on PROG page).
The soft altitude mode corrects minor deviations from the Mach target by allowing
a 50-foot variation from the CRZ FL. This feature improves fuel efficiency and passenger
comfort and minimizes the changes in thrust.

DES MODE
The DES mode guides the aircraft along the descent path computed by the FMGS.
The system computes this flight path backwards from the deceleration point up to the top
of descent (T/0) with respect to the speed and altitude constraints .
lnternally, the computer divides the descent path into various segments, depending on the
relative positions of the constraints. lt starts at top of descent (T/0) by setting up an "idle"
segment that takes the aircraft down to the first constraint, and follows this with
"geometric" segments between constraints.

The descent speed profile is usually the ECON SPD profile, amended by any speed

Before the descent phase is active, if the pilot does not intend to fly the ECON speed/Mach
profile, a different speed or Mach can be entered to amend the speed profile :
This selected speed/Mach is called AUTO SPD. lt is obtained by entering a Mach number

The aircraft will not start its descent automatically when reaching the top of descent (T/D).
ln order to initiate the descent, the pilotwill set the clearance altitude then push the ALT
selector knob. The aircraft will descend immediately.
* lf the top of descent is not reached, the aircraft descends at a constant V/S converging
on the descent path.
* lf the aircraft is at or beyond T/D, it descends at idle thrust.
During the descent :
The pilotwill see a vertical deviation symbol (VDEV) along the ALT scale on the PFD and
a VDEV value on the PROG page, so that the aircraft's vertical position can be monitared
versus the calculated descent profile.
The aircraft may deviate from the DES profile while DES mode is engaged if :
- unexpected wind conditions is encountered.
- anti-icing is turned on.
- the lateral flight plan is changed.

When the speed is managed, a target speed range displayed on the PFD defines
acceptable speed variations araund the nominal descent speed target.
- lf the aircraft is above the descent profile, the speed increases toward the upper Iimit
of the target speed range as the aircraft converges on the descent profile. lf this does
not increase the descent angle enough, the aircraft deviates from the descent profile.
(A/THR is at IDLE).
- lf the aircraft is below the descent profile, the aircraft maintains the target speed until
it reaches the vertical profile. The lower margin becomes effective when the aircraft
is on the descent profile but has to lose speed in order to stay on it.
The ND shows an intercept symbol 'V-> that indicates the position where the system
predicts that the aircraft will be back on the descent profile. When the aircraft is above
the descent profile, the prediction is based on the assumption that the pilot will extend
half speedbrakes. lf necessary, the message "AIRBRAKES" (old FMGC standard) or
"MORE DRAG" comes up on the PFD and the MCDU, and remains there as lang as more
drag (speedbrakes) is still required. The pilot should respond to this message by deploying
half speedbrakes.

When in a holding pattern


The DESmode commands V/S = - 1000 feeVminute while A/THR maintains the holding
speed. The current VDEV is the vertical deviation from the altitude at which FM predicts
the aircraft will be when it reaches the exit fix.
Until the pilot exits the hold, the FMGS in DES mode will maintain V/S = - 1000

not descent below the next altitude constraint, neither the FCU selected altitude. lf the

I GENERAL I
The FMGS (flight management and guidance system) displays information on various
"pages". When a page cannot display all the information assigned, it cues the pilot to call
up additional information.
There are three types of pages, and each type has its particular way of cuing the pilot to
call up additional information.

First type
When this page cannot display all the information on the screen simultaneously (more
information than the six pairs of lines on the screen can hold), the pilot can scroll the page
up or down.
When this is the case, the screen displays a i .!- symbol in its bottarn righthand corner
(F-PLN pages, secondary F-PLN page, departure/arrival pages, ... ).
Second type
When successive pages hold the information, the pilotpresses the "NEXT PAGE" key to call
up these pages sequentially.
ln this case, the page displays an arrow in the top righthand corner of the screen (INIT
pages).
Third type
When successive pages hold different types of information, the pilot calls these up by
pressing the key adjacent to the prompts >, < or *.

When a system calls for pilot attention, the MCDU displays "REQ" next to the system
name, and the "MCDU MENU" annunciator lights up.
When the pilot presses the key next to the name of the system that requires attention, the
"MCDU MENU" annunciator light goes out.
Note : When the MCDU is communicating with a system other than the FMGC, the pilot

This field enables the pilot to enter a city pair (ICAO codes for
city of origin and destination). This entry automatically deletes
any previously entered company raute, and calls up the raute
selection page. lf one airfield of the pair is not in the
database, the display changes to the NEW RWY page.
INIT REOUEST ~ This prompt is displayed, if the pilot did not enter an active
flight plan, or entered a flight number or a company raute that
is not in the aircraft database. Selecting this prompt sends
the ground a request for active flight plan initialization
(downlink message). When the star is not displayed, a
downlink message cannot be sent.
The uplink flight plan is automatically inserted in the active
flight plan, prior to engine start, provided an active flight plan
does not exist.
After engine start, the uplink flight plan is sent to the
secondary flight plan and manually inserted or rejected. (Refer
to 4.04.40).
ALIGN IRS
This field only displays this legend if the LAT and LONG fields
are filled in, and at least one of the inertial reference systems
is in ALIGN status (IRS in NAV position and alignment
process not over). lf the pilot presses this key when its field
is displaying this legend, the present coordinates are sent to
the IRSs, and this completes the alignment process.
LONG
This field displays the longitude of the departure airport
reference point. The pilot may modify by slewing or
overwriting.
WIND >
The pilot presses this key to access the climb wind page,
unless a temporary flight plan exists. ln this case, the
scratchpad displays "TEMPORARY F-PLN EXISTS".
TROPO
The default tropopause altitude is 36090 feet. The pilot can
use this field to modify it (39000 feet maximum).

The generic flight plan page displays the FROM waypoint (last waypoint to be
overflown) on the first line, and the TO waypoint (in white) on the second line. The
FROM/TO flight plan leg is called the active leg.
The flight crew can use the scroll keys to review all flight plan legs down to the last
point of the alternate flight plan. The AIRPORT key serves as a fast slew key. The pilot
can press it to call up the next airport (DEST, ALTN, ORIGIN) to be displayed on the
flight plan page.
ln order to return to the beginning of the flight plan page, the pilot presses the F-PLN
key on the MCDU console.
The display shows the name of the leg between two waypoints and the distance
between them on a line between the lines that identify them. During an approach, this
in-between line also defines the angle of the final descent path. For example, "2-3"
indicates that the leg is two nautical miles lang, and the flight path angle is -3.
The display shows the bearing between FROM and TO waypoints, as the bearing from
the aircraft position to the TO waypoint. lt shows track (TRK) between the waypoints
shown in lines 2 and 3. This is the outbound track of the next leg.
lf the database contains a published missed-approach procedure, or if someone has
inserted one manually, the display shows it in blue after the destination runway
identification. lt turns green when the go-around phase becomes active.
After the last waypoint of the missed approach, the display shows the alternate flight
plan in NAV mode.
When airborne, the flight crew can clear or modify the TO waypoint by using the DIR
key on the MCDU console.

Predictions

The system calculates and displays predictions for all waypoints.


lt uses current wind to compute predictions for the TO waypoint, and uses predicted winds
for computing all others.
Constraints

R
R

The database may define an altitude constraint and speed constraint for each waypoint of
the climb, descent, and approach phases, or the pilot may insertsuch constraints manually.
(Except at origin, destination, FROM and pseudo waypoints).
The constraints are displayed in magenta as lang as predictions are not completed.
Once predictions are available, constraints are replaced by speed and altitude predictions
preceded by stars. lf the star is magenta the system is predicting that the aircraft will
match the constraint (altitude within 250 feet, speed not more than 10 knots above the
constraints). lf the star is amber, the system is predicting that the aircraft will miss the
constraint and the MCDU displays "SPD ERROR AT WPT" message.
Pseudo waypoints

Pseudo waypoints are geographical positions corresponding to an event in the vertical


flight plan ; T/C (top of climb), T/0 (top of descent), SPD/LIM (speed Iimit), DECEL
(deceleration for approach) etc. The display shows them as waypoints in parentheses.

The display shows RETURN, instead of ERASE, when the pilot
has not created a temporary flight plan.
This field displays the selectable and selected enroute transitions
in blue and green respectively. They are blank, if there are no
transitions.
The pilot uses this key to insert a temporary procedure into the

This field displays the inbound course of the holding pattern. The
data may be modified.
This field shows the direction to turn in the hold (L or R). The
data may be modified.
This field shows the time and distance for the outbound leg. The
data may be modified.
Time and distance are dependent values that the system
calculates from the predicted true airspeed which, in turn,
depend upon the holding speed (speed for maximum endurance,
ICAO speed Iimit, or constraint speed, whichever is lower).
The pilot presses this key, when the field shows "ERASE", to
erase the holding pattern.
The pilot presses this key, when the field shows "RETURN", to
return to the LAT REV page, if the hold is already inserted in the
flight plan.
The pilot presses this key to delete manual modifications to the
database hold (or computed hold), and to revert to the database
(or computed) holding data.

The pilot presses this key to insert the hold into the active flight
plan.
This field displays the time at which the aircraft must leave the
holding pattern, in order to meet fuel policy criteria
(extra fuel = 0). The system also displays the estimated fuel on
board at that time.

Pressing the "DIR" key under the MCDU screen brings up this page. The [ 1L ] key on this
page is the DIR TO key. The pilot presses it to modify the flight plan by creating a direct
leg from the aircraft's present position to any selected waypoint. When in NAV mode, the
pilot must use this key to modify the active leg or the TO waypoint. Pilot cannot call up this
page when the aircraft's present position is not valid.
[ 1L ] DIR TO
Pressing this key activates the DIRECT TO function, routing the aircraft
from present position to the waypoint inserted in the scratchpad.
The pilot can identify the waypoint to be inserted by using its
identifier, its latitude and longitude, place/bearing/distance, or
place-bearing/place-bearing.

lt will be entered as HH MM (HH hours, MM minutes). Maximum
entry is clock time + 20 hours.
This field displays the altitude constraint assigned to this revise
waypoint.
lt uses a large font when the constraint is entered manually, a small
font when it is from the data base.
A CLR action reverts it to brackets.
The constraint may be :
"At", entered as XXXXX (FL 180, for example)
"At or above", entered as + XXXXX or XXXXX + (+ FL31 0, for
example)
"At or below", entered as - XXXXX or XXXXX - (- 5000, for
example)
A "window" constraint.
The altitude window consists of two altitudes between which the
aircraft should fly. The crew cannot manually enter a "window"
constraint.
When the aircraft misses a predicted altitude constraint, this field
displays the difference between the altitude constraint and the
predicted altitude.
lf, for example, "_ 500" appears in this field in green, the aircraft will
reach the waypoint at an altitude 500 feet below the constraint
altitude.
lt applies only to waypoints in the climb and descent phases.
This legend appears for waypoints in the cruise phase and gives the
pilot access to the step prediction page.
When this field displays "DES", pressing this key assigns the
constraints to the descent phase and inserts them into the vertical
flight plan. The page reverts to the F-PLN page. (See Note, below).

Note : Altitude and speed constraints may apply to climb, descent or approach phase, but
- - never to cruise phase.
Fie/ds 6U6R disp/ay "CLB!DES" when the revise waypoint is a cruise phase
waypoint and the FMGS needs to know if the new constraint is to be applied in
climb or descent phase. The FMGS will modify the cruise phase accordingly.
These 2 prompts also disp/ay "CLB!DES" when the predictions are not computed.
(top of climb and top of descent not yet defined).

STEP AT - (the selected vertical revise waypoint at which


the step is to be initiated)
This is the step altitude entry field.
lf the step altitude is higher than the cruise flight Ievei, the
step is a step climb.
lf the step altitude is lower than the cruise flight Ievei, the
step is a step descent.
This field allows the flight crew to enter and display a wind
for the step altitude. This can be the wind as calculated by
the FMGC (small blue font) or as entered by the pilot (large
blue font). lf the flight crew clears a pilot-entered wind, the
value reverts to the calculated wind.
The pilot cannot clear the calculated wind.
lf the pilot presses this key the page reverts to the

The pilot uses this page to display or delete defined and stored runways. The stored
runways are listed and numbered in the order in which they were inserted. The number
is displayed in the upper righthand corner of the page. (For example, 2/4 means the
runway is the second of four stored runways).
The pilot can delete any stored runway from the database by displaying its ident in the
1L field, then by pressing the CLR key on the MCDU control panel.
[ 5R ] DELETE ALL
The pilot presses this key to erase all the stored runways,
except those used in the active or secondary flight plan. (The
MCDU displays "F-PLN ELEMENT RETAINED").

These fields are similar to the RUNWAY page fields.

NEW RUNWAY PAGE


The pilot can use this page to define and store up to 10 runways.
When the pilot enters an ILS!LOC ident in the [ 1R ] field, the new navaid page comes
up. When the pilot has entered and stored the necessary data in the new navaid page,
the new runway page reappears.
The new runway page and the new navaid page (ILS!LOC) are not independent :
When the flight crew first defines the ILS!LOC (an the new navaid page), the new runway
page, when called up, already displays the RWY course, RWY ident, and ILS ident (copied
from the new navaid page).
When the flight crew first defines the runway (an the new runway page), the new navaid
page, when called up, already displays the ILS course, ILS ident, and runway ident.
The pilot must enter the two runway directions on two different new runway pages (LFRJ
08 and LFRJ 26) to allow the flight plan to select either one.

This field is automatically fitted when the pilot enters the ident
for a company raute. When the pilot enters a city pair manually,
the MCDU displays "NOT IN DATA BASE" if the city pair is not in
the navigation data base. lf the city pair is in the data base, the
CO RTE field displays the first raute stored (small font, blue). lf
more than one raute is stored, the pilot can slew to see the
different rautes.

This field allows the pilot to enter a new company raute ident. lf
that ident has already been assigned, the entry is rejected.
Pressing this key stores parameters of the active flight plan as new
raute.
The display shows this prompt when the system contains a
FROM/TO, but only during preflight.
Pressing this key stores parameters of the secondary flight plan as
new raute.
The display shows this prompt when the system contains a
FROM/TO and the secondary flight plan has not yet been
sequenced.

Note : - lf it has not already been named, a stored raute is named automatical/y when
stored : SRTE 1 or 2 or 3, for example.
Several elements of the flight plan are not retained when the raute is stored :
- Pilot entered holds
- Offset
- Pilot entered constraints
- Modifications to terminal pracedures
- Pseudo waypoints
The MCDU then displays "REVISIONS NOT STORED".

This field displays brackets, when the aircraft is more than 180 NM
from the destination. Inside 180 NM, a mandatory amber box appears.
The pilot must either enter the ONH in hPa (three or four digits), or in
inches of mercury (two digits, decimal point, and two more digits).
The system interprets :
. 1003 as 1003 hPa;
. 29.92 as 29.92 inches.
The pilot can modify this entry at any time.
The system uses the ONH to compute the cabin repressurization
segment.
This field displays the temperature at destination. The field displays
brackets until the pilot enters the temperature. The pilot can modify this
figure.
The system uses this temperature to refine its computation of the

This line displays the identifiers and frequencies


of ADFs 1 and 2.
The pilot can use the ident or the frequency to
tune the ADF manually. lf he uses the
frequency, he must always include a decimal
point (as 370.).
When an ADF is selected, these fields display
an ADF/BFO prompt. The flight crew presses
the key once to erase the arrow and put the
ADF in BFO mode. A clear action brings the
arrow back and cancels BFO.

Note : - The autotune function works only for navaids stored in the data base.
- When tuning manually, the operator should use the ident rather than the
frequency unless the navaid is not in the data base.
- Manually tuned frequencies are disp/ayed in a /arge font.
- Second ADF is optional.

I SECONDARY PAGES I
The SEC F-PLN key on the MCDU console allows the pilot to call up the secondary index
page and the secondary flight plan page. The secondary flight plan is generally for a
diversion, for predictable runway changes for takeoft or landing, or for training.
There are two types of secondary index pages. The type selected depends on the presence
of a secondary flight plan.

The secondary flight plan A and B pages are identical to those for the active flight plan,
but are sequenced automatically only when the secondary is copied from the primary
and their active legs are identical.
Pages for the active and secondary flight plans differ from each other as follows :
Secondary lateral revision pages :
- ERASE and INSERT are not displayed.
- OFFSET is not available.
Secondary init A and B pages :
- They use blue brackets instead of amber boxes.
- They have no align prompt.
- They do not provide for slewing or entering data in the 4L-4R fields (airport reference).
- They have no history wind page.
- They have no temporary flight plan pages.
Predictions become available as soon as the FMGS receives data relevant to the
secondary flight plan.

invalid, then the message is displayed again.
A flight plan is stored in the active flight plan.
Appears when the IRS are ready for alignment,
but the INIT A page is not displayed on either

requires that one of the flight crew call up the
INIT A page and take whatever action it calls

The Alternate Flight Plan has been deleted
automatically. This occurs when the flight plan
memory is full and the system attempts to
store more data in it.
The pilot has attempted to enter a VIA or a GO
TO on the LAT REV page, and the new point is
not on the entered airway.
This message appears when the aircraft gets
within 200 NM of the destination and the
computed rate of descent makes it impossible
for the cabin to be repressurized at the
maximum rate.
The radio position is more than 12 NM from
the IRS position while the DME!DME!Inertial or

Each time the pilot activates one the revisions listed above, he accesses to a temporary
flight plan that allows to check the modification before inserting it in the active flight
plan. The pilot selects these functions by pressing the left line select key on F-PLN A or

B.
- Direct to and overfly functions are accessed through MCDU keys. No temporary flight
plan is created with these functions.
- "Update at" capability is a specific function that manually update the FM position. lt

I TEMPORARY F-PLN (TMPY) I


When a pilot makes a lateral revision to the F-PLN, the FMGS creates a temporary flight
plan. This is a copy of the active F-PLN, but is corrected by the lateral revision in progress.
The aircraft continues to follow the active F-PLN until the temporary revision is inserted.
The revision appears in yellow characters on both MCDUs and NOs.
- Lateral and vertical revisions cannot be made to a temporary F-PLN.
- Only one temporary F-PLN may be accessed at a time.
- The "DIRECT TO" function, when used, erases a temporary F-PLN.
- When a DIR TO is in process, a temporary revision cannot be displayed on the other
MCDU.
- A TMPY F-PLN changes the title of the flight plan pages. (TMPY appears in all titles).
- No predictions are computed for a temporary flight plan (Dashes are displayed).

IINSERTING AN AIRWAY WITH "VIA/GO TO"I


The pilot can insert into the active flight plan, an airway going from a revised waypoint to
another waypoint. lf the end waypoint belongs to the active flight plan, the computer does
the stringing automatically. lf the end waypoint does not belang to the flight plan, the
computer leaves a discontinuity between this waypoint and those farther along the active
flight plan.

IINSERTING A WAYPOINT I
The pilot can insert waypoints by two methods :
- directly into the flight plan. All modifications go directly into the active flight plan. No
temporary flight plan is created.
- by means of a Iaterai-revision "NEXT WAYPOINT", a process that creates a temporary
flight plan.
The second method allows to check the temporary flight plan before inserting it.

WAYPOINT IDENTIFICATION
The pilot can identify a waypoint by :
- lts identifier (if it is in the navigation data base)
- A Latitude/Longitude (LL)
- A Place/Bearing/Distance (PBD)
- A Place-Bearing/Piace-Bearing (PBX)
Note : lf a s/ash or a dash is not entered properly, the Multitunetion Contra/ and Display
Unit disp/ays a "FORMAT ERROR" message.
When the Flight Management Guidance System receives a waypoint not in the data base,
it identifies it as LLxx or PBD xx or PBX xx (xx is a two-digit number between 01 and 20)
and stores it in the stored waypoints file of the data base.
Note: When NAV mode is engaged, the crew cannot modify the "TO" waypoint (active
- - leg) using the waypoint insertion function. lf the crew wants to modify it, it will use
the DIR TO function.

I HOLDING PATTERN I
Holding pattern description, associated guidance and flight crew procedures are put
tagether in this chapter.
The flight management and guidance computer (FMGC) has three types of holding pattern
that the pilot can use in a flight plan.

HOLD TO FIX (HF)


The holding pattern is always part of an arrival or departure procedure. The aircraft flies it
once and then exits the holding pattern automatically at the fix. The predicted speed in the
holding pattern is the lowest of ICAO speed Iimit, max endurance speed, or any speed
constraint.
Guidance to the fix in the holding pattern is similar to that on any leg of a flight plan. The
HF patterns are part of the navigation database and cannot be created by the crew.

HOLD TO ALTITUDE (HA)


The HAs are in the navigation database as part of arrival or departure procedures and
cannot be created by the crew.
The aircraft flies the hold until it reaches the specified altitude. Then it exits the hold
automatically at the fix.
The predicted speed for the holding pattern is the lowest of the ICAO speed Iimits, the max
endurance speed or any speed constraint.
The size of the holding pattern is a function of the predicted speed.
Guidance in a hold to altitude (HA) is similar to that for any leg of a flight plan.

This type of holding pattern may be part of an arrival procedure, or the flight crew may
enter it at present position or at any flight plan waypoint.
The pilot will use this type of holding pattern to comply with a defined procedure or a
clearance Iimit or to meet an operational need (such as losing altitude, holding for weather
improvement, or absorbing an ATC delay).
This type of holding pattern is exited under pilot decision and not automatically.
There are 3 types of HM, all are modifiable.

The FMGS predicts the estimated time and amount of fuel remaining at which the aircraft
must exit holding so as to comply with fuel policy specified on the fuel prediction page.
When the aircraft enters the holding pattern, the FMGS revises all predictions and assumes
the aircraft to fly one turn of the holding pattern.
All predictions are revised for one more holding circuit at holding fix overfly.
Upon reaching the speed change pseudo waypoint
The FMGS either causes the aircraft to decelerate to the hold speed (if managed speed is
active and NAV mode engaged), or displays "SET HOLD SPD" (set hold speed) on the
MCDU and primary flight display if the crew had selected a speed target.
The hold speed is the lowest of :
- maximum endurance speed
- ICAO Iimit holding speed
- speed constraint (if any).
The flight plan predictions for time and fuel do not yet consider that the hold will be flown,
however, the navigation display shows the hold entry and holding pattern trajectory.

After reaching the hold entry fix


The aircraft enters the hold. The system assumes that the aircraft will fly one turn of the
holding pattern and revises the predictions accordingly.
When the holding pattern was defined by a leg time (and not a leg distance), the system
revises the size of the hold as a function of the target speed.

HOLD EXIT PROCEDURE


R

- Position 1 : lf "IMM EXIl" pressed, aircraft will exit at next fix overfly.

R
R

- Position 2 : lf "IMM EXIl" pressed, aircraft will make an immediate turn to the fix
where hold will be exited.
lf managed speed is active, the computer sets the target speed to the applicable speed of
the current phase (for example, speed constraint, ECON speed, or speed Iimit).
The computer then bases its predictions on the assumption that the flight will continue on
the descent path if the aircraft is in a descent.

lf DES mode is engaged, the following rules apply :


- The holding pattern is never included in the descent path computation.
- The pilot cannot enter altitude and speed constraints at the hold exit fix. (This is only
allowed at the hold entry fix).
- The vertical guidance in the HM du ring the descent phase calls for a constant - 1000
feet per minute, but the computer considers altitude constraints that will take effect
farther down the flight path as it calculates vertical guidance and predictions. The
system will not allow the aircraft to descent below the next altitude constraint, neither
the FCU selected altitude. lf the aircraft reaches the next altitude constraint, it will Ievei
oft and the altitude constraint mode will engage.

With RESUME HOLD pressed


lf the pilot presses the key next to "RESUME HOLD", the aircraft remains in the holding
pattern, and the display again shows "IMM EXIl".
After that, each time the aircraft flies over the holding fix, the system updates the
predictions for one more holding circuit.

I OFFSET I
Offset allows the pilot to define a lateral offset to the left or right of the active flight plan.
Once inserted, the offset applies fram present position (PPOS) all along the flight plan to
the first waypoint (WPT) at which a holding pattern is defined, or to the last waypoint
before the runway.
ln most cases, the pilot will use it en raute because of an ATC clearance or to avoid bad
weather expected along the flight-plan raute.
Accessed from lateral revision (LAT REV) at the present position page, an offset may be
defined between 1 and 50 nautical miles in one-nautical-mile steps.
After inserting the offset in the flight plan, the flight plan page shows OFST in its title, and
the navigation display shows the offset flight plan in a solid green line and the original flight
plan in a dashed green line.
The offset is cleared :
Automatically (holding pattern, appraach)
Manually with the clear (CLR) key.

Note : lf the pilot enters an OFFSET when the aircraft is too close to the TO waypoint, the
- - FMGS may refuse to accept it, in which case the MCDU disp/ays the message
"ENTRY OUT OF RANGE".

I ALTERNATE FUNCTION I
The ALTERNATE FUNCTION performs two actions :
- lt reviews and defines alternate airports and inserts them into the flight plan.
- lt allows a diversion to be activated through the ENABLE ALTN command.

REVIEW AND SELECTION OF ALTERNATE AIRPORT

R
R

Several alternate airfields may be stored in the data base and assigned to a destination.
When the pilot selects a company raute (CO RTE) (or a city pair), the computer strings the
preferred alternate into the active flight plan.
The pilot may review the alternate airports on the ALTN page, and if the one selected is not
suitable because of weather or fuel considerations, another alternate may be strung into
the active flight plan.
The pilot may define an additional alternate airport into the Iist, if necessary.
The ALTERNATE page shows the track and distance (airway or direct) between the
destination and the alternate, as weil as fuel management data (EXTRA fuel, assuming the
associated airfield is the alternate airport). This data will help the pilot change the preferred
alternate, if necessary.
Access the ALTERNATE page through the ALTN prompt on LAT REV at destination.
Alternate airfields are attached to the destination.

ENTERING NEW ALTERNATE INTO THE F-PLN


lf the preferred alternate is not suitable, proceed as follows :

- SELECT the F-PLN key on MCDU

- SELECT LAT REV at destination.


- SELECT ALTN [ 5L ] key.
- SELECT an AIRFIELD IDENTIFIER
- INSERT the temporary flight plan

Note : lf weather and destination airfield conditions allow it, you may se/ect "NO ALTN",
- - tue/ predictions will be computed without a/ternate tue/.

PREDICTED DATA FOR ALTERNATE


Data predictions are based on :

* Aircraft weight being equal to landing weight at primary destination


* Flight at flight Ievei 220 if the airway distance is less than 200 NM, otherwise at flight
*
*
*
*

Ievei 310
Cast index 0
Constant wind
Constant delta ISA (equal to delta ISA at primary destination)
Airway distance for a company raute, otherwise direct distance. (Manually entered
distance for OTHER ALTN, used for preliminary predictions)

ENABLE ALTN
This allows the pilot to initiate a diversion by entering the alternate flight plan just after the
revision waypoint (with a discontinuity).
The pilot may have to adjust the resulting flight plan (use "direct to", or add or suppress
waypoints), depending upon the circumstances.

I DIR KEY (DIRECT-TO FUNCTION) I


The pilot uses the "Direct To" function to define a direct leg from the present position to
any waypoint on the active flight plan or to any waypoint.
The designated waypoint may be entered by its identifier (if it is stored in the database)
or by a latitude/longitude, place/bearing/distance, or a place-bearing/place-bearing. When
the pilot uses DIR TO, the present position (PPOS) becomes the "FROM" waypoint and the
active flight plan shows it as T-P (turn point). The pilot must not use DIR TO on the ground.

Note : lf the autopilot or flight director is in the heading/track or localizer mode, the "DIR
- - TO" function engages NAV mode.

PROCEDURE
Case 1. The "TO" waypoint is in the flight plan
Example : DIR TO FRZ

- PRESS the DIR key on the MCDU.


- PRESS the line select key next to "FRZ"

CAUTION
lf the "UPDATE AT' does not take effect properly, it corrupts the FM position.
- ln an area with good radio navaid coverage :
lf the update error is small, subsequent radio position updating will correct the FM
position.
lf the update error is large, the system will reject any radio updating because its
internal "reasonableness test" will reject the various navaids. Thus the FM position will
only be the MIX IRS position corrected by the position bias determined at the time of
the update, and the error will be maintained.
- ln an area without proper navaid coverage, radio position updating is not available and
the FM position, if incorrect, will remain incorrect until a new manual update is
performed.
- Therefore, the pilot should use "UPDATE AT' only in case of a major position problern
such as :
on the ground, no flight plan appears on the navigation display and ARC/ROSE NAV
mode is selected .
A "CHECK A!C POSITION" message appears and the position monitor page indicates
an obvious position mismatch.
~ When the GPS PRIMARY is operative, the FM position will always converge towards
the GPS position at a rate depending on the aircraft altitude. Therefore when GPS PRIMARY
is operative, an "update at" that is innacurate will have a temporary effect on the FM
position.

I TIME CONSTRAINT I
A time constraint (TIME CSTR) is a time requirement to be met over a specified waypoint
of the lateral flight plan, including destination but excluding the origin and FROM
waypoints.
At most, two time constraints may exist : one in the active flight plan
one in the secondary flight plan.
When a second time constraint is entered in a flight plan, the first one is deleted.
The time constraint entry is not allowed in Engine Out mode or once the aircraft is in
descent or approach phase or go around.
A time constraint is displayed in magenta as lang as the predictions are not computed.
Once the predictions are available, the time constraint value is replaced by the
predicted time at the related waypoint, highlighted by a star (*) :
- if the TIME CSTR is predicted as matched, the star (*) is magenta
- if the TIME CSTR is predicted as missed, the star (*) is amber.
No specific symbol is provided on the ND.
A time constraint is cleared as any other constraints. lf a time constraint is automatically
deleted, a "TIME CSTR DELETED" message is displayed on MCDU.
TIME CSTR entry
- SELECT the F-PLN Key on MCDU
- SELECT a VERT REV at revised WPT
- WRITE the TIME CSTR into the scratchpad then ENTER it

ln order to receive the best predictions, the pilot must enter wind values for the different
phases and for various waypoints of cruise phase.
ENTERING THE CLIMB WINDS (F-PLN INITIALIZATION)
When completing the INIT A page, the pilot will enter the winds by depressing the WIND
prompt. He will access the different wind pages using NEXT PHASE key and PREV PHASE
key. He will slew the CRZ WIND page to access the various waypoints of the cruise winds.
The pilot will enter wind data as follows :
- for CLB phase ; by inserting either the HISTORY WIND data (as recorded during the last
descent) or by inserting winds (at up to 5 altitudes) on the CLB WIND page.
- for CRZ phase ; by inserting winds at various CRZ waypoints on the CRZ WIND pages.
- for DES phase ; by inserting winds (at up to 5 altitudes) on the DES WIND page
- for the ALTN F-PLN, an average wind may be entered on the DES WIND page for
alternate cruise flight Ievei.
Note : - Cruise wind and a/ternate wind prompts are not disp/ayed on the FUEL PRED
page with this standard.
- Wind can be automatical/y received (and inserted) through ACARS system
(Refer to 4.04.40)
- Once inserted, the F-PLN 8 page disp/ays the forecast wind profile at a/1
waypoints using interpolated values from manual entries.

recommended to enter a/1 winds, temperature and QNH at the same time to
minimize recomputation time.

I EFFECT OF REFERENCE BAROMETER SETTING


GENERAL
The baro reference selector of the E.I.S (Eiectronic Instrument System) allows the pilot to
use the standard barometric reference (STD), sea Ievei atmospheric pressure (QNH), or
atmospheric pressure at airfield elevation (QFE option) for the barometer setting.
The selected value is displayed in the baro reference display window of the EFIS control
panel and on the Primary Flight Display (PFD) below the altitude scale.
The barometer setting is used as a reference for the altimeter of the PFD and for the PFD
target altitude. ln flight, it affects the predicted altitudes on the MCDU and the descent path
computation.
MCDU ALTITUDE PREDICTIONS
The FMGS predicts at each waypoint of the flight plan an altitude that is a function of all
data in the lateral and vertical flight plans.
On the ground
The altitude predicted at each waypoint is displayed as altitude in feet above mean sea
Ievei (AMSL) when it is below the transition altitude and as flight Ievei when it is above
the transition altitude. The altitude constraints are also displayed, and they follow the same
rule (feet or flight Ievei).
The predicted altitude is equal to the airport elevation plus the height you must attain in
order to reach the waypoint in the applicable mode (climb or descent).

ln flight

The predicted altitude is equal to the aircraft altitude (as a function of the barometer
setting), plus or minus the height you must attain to reach the waypoint in the applicable
mode (climb or descent).
- ln climb:
Altitude predictions and constraints are displayed as altitude in feet above mean sea
Ievei (AMSL) at, or below, the transition altitude, and as the flight Ievei above it.
For example : lf the transition altitude is 5000 feet and you insert an altitude constraint
as 8000 feet, the MCDU F-PLN A page displays it as FL80.
- ln descent :
lf "STD" is selected on the EIS control panel, altitude predictions and constraints above
the transition Ievei are displayed as flight Ieveis, and those below the transition Ievei are
displayed as altitude AMSL.
lf sea Ievei standard pressure (ONH), or field elevation pressure (OFE option), is selected
on the EIS control panel, altitude predictions and constraints are displayed as altitudes
AMSL, regardless of the transition altitude.
For example : lf the transition Ievei is FL50 and you insert an altitude constraint of
8000 feet into the MCDU, the MCDU F-PLN A page will display it as FL80, if "STD" is
selected, and as 8000 feet, if "ONH" (or "OFF' option) F-PLN A page is selected.

TARGET ALTITUDE ON PFD


The PFD target altitude may either be :
- The altitude selected on the FCU, or
- A flight management altitude constraint, if the climb mode or descent mode is engaged
and the system predicts a level-oft at a constraint that comes before reaching the FCU
altitude.
The PFD target altitude depends on the barometer setting :
- lf "STD" is selected, the target is a flight Ievei.
- lf "ONH" or "OFF' is selected, the target is an altitude or height.
The aircraft will Ievei oft accordingly.
Note : - lf the pilot changes the barometer setting during ALT* or ALT CST*, the aircraft
may overshoot the target altitude, because the current value has been changed.
However, the ALT* and ALT CST* modes allow the aircraft to regain the FCU
altitude. As a general rufe, avoid changing the barometer setting when in ALT*
or ALT CST*.
- ln aircraft equipped to use field elevation pressure (QFE option), switching from
STD to QFE (or vice versa) in ALT CST* green changes the target value and may
revert the vertica/ mode into V/S mode.

Note for aircraft with QFE (Field Elevation Pressure) pin program
lf you select "OFF' on the EFIS control panel :
- The MCDU predictions follow the basic rules (altitudes are AMSL below the transition
Ievei, flight Ieveis above it).
- The altitude constraints on the MCDU follow the basic rules.
- The target altitude on the PFD is OFE related :
lf the target altitude has been selected by the FCU, the aircraft will Ievei oft there.
lf the target altitude is an altitude constraint, the PFD automatically shows that
constraint as corrected by the airport elevation.

I PROCEDURES I

a) The altitude constraints in departure and arrival procedures should be defined in the
navigation database or by the pilot on the MCDU :
- in terms of altitude AMSL below the transition altitude
- in terms of flight Ievei above the transition altitude
lf a departure procedure defines an altitude constraint as an AMSL altitude above the
transition altitude, you must convert it to STD, because the system and guidance will
treat it as a flight Ievei whenever you select the standard barometer setting.
b) ln climb you should switch from ONH (or OFE) to STD on both EFIS control panels
simultaneously when you reach the transition altitude.
All MCDU altitude predictions and altitude constraints and all PFD altitude targets will
be displayed as flight Ieveis.
c) ln descent, when ATC clears you to an altitude below the transition altitude, you can
select ONH (or OFE) on both EFIS control panels simultaneously.
All MCDU altitude predictions and contraints and PFD targets are now altitude AMSL.

Press the "CLR" key with a single briet tauch to erase the last alphanumeric character
inserted in the scratchpad.
Press the key for more than three seconds to erase all the data inserted in the scratchpad.
lf the scratchpad is empty, it displays "CLR".

CLEARING DATA FIELDS


Clear a data field by pressing the "CLR" key, the scratchpad displays CLR, then select the
prompt for the field you want to clear (3L for example).
- You cannot clear all data fields :
lf the field contains data that has a default value or a value computed by the FMGC,
the data reverts to this value.
Any attempt to clear the defaulted value has no effect.
- Clearing a constraint on the F-PLN page deletes both the speed constraint and the
altitude constraint associated with the waypoint.
- lf you clear a data field that is a waypoint in the flight plan (primary or secondary), you
delete this waypoint from the flight plan and create a discontinuity. The discontinuity can
also be cleared in a similar way.

I HOW TO EXECUTE A DIVERSION I


The FMGS will assist the pilot if it becomes necessary to divert to an alternate airport.

DIVERSION TO PREPLANNED ALTERNATE AIRPORT


This would probably occur at the end of the cruise phase, during descent or go-around. The
pilot can use this method for diverting if the primary flight plan includes an alternate flight
plan from destination to a suitable alternate airport.
When decided to divert to the alternate airport from a given waypoint, simply execute an
"ENABLE ALTN" (enable alternate) revision :

- SELECT "LAT REV" at a given waypoint


- PRESS the "ENABLE ALTN" key
- INSERT the temporary flight plan (TMPY F-PLN).
- ADJUST the resulting active flight plan.
(Refer to 4.04.1 0).

DIVERSION TO ANY ADEQUATE AIRPORT


May occur if any unexpected event requires a diversion.
ln this case use either a secondary flight plan or a lateral revision for a new destination.

USING THE SECONDARY FLIGHT PLAN FUNCTION


Use the SEC F-PLN function if a secondary flight plan for diversion has been prepared :

- While the aircraft is on the ground,


you have prepared the lateral path you would expect to use in case of an early in flight
turn back (major failure after takeoft or during initial climbout), or the lateral path you
would expect to use to land at a nearby diversion airport (weather at origin airport
requires a takeoft alternate).

lf the pilot has not prepared a diversion in the secondary flight plan, the "NEW DEST"
function allows to make the required change on the active flight plan.

I ENGINE OUT I
When the FMGS detects an engine-out condition, the following occurs :

FLIGHT MANAGEMENT PART


- CLIMB mode, if active, reverts to OPEN CLIMB mode.
- The managed target speeds is immediately set to a value that depends upon the flight
phase.
- All preselected speeds entered in the MCDU are deleted.
- Step climb (or step descent), if entered, is deleted.
- Predictions are lost (except in descent and approach phases). When they are lost, the
prediction field shows dashes.
- Predictions on the secondary flight plan are lost, if it is a copy of the active flight plan.
- The PROG page shows the engine-out maximum recommended (E.O. MAX REC)
altitude.
- The system automatically calls up the current performance page, which has the E.O.
CLR (engine-out clear) prompt displayed in the 1R field (except during takeoff, before the
diversion point is reached).
lf the crew presses the E.O. CLR, the 2 engine predictions and performance will be
restored. Reverting back to one engine-out performance is not possible, unless the
system detects a new E.O. condition. Therefore, the pilot should not press the E.O. CLR
key, if an actual engine-out is detected.
- ln the descent and approach phases, the system automatically restores two-engine
predictions. The descent mode is available.
lt is not permitted to use the autopilot to perform non precision approaches in engine-out
in the following modes : FINAL APP, NAV V/S, NAV/FPA. Only FD use is authorized.

FLIGHT GUIDANCE PART


- All selected modes remain available (the "HDG/TRK", "V/S", and "OPEN" modes, for
example).
- ln the speed reference system (SRS) mode, the takeoft speed target is V2, or the current
speed if it is higher. The magenta triangle indicates V2 in all cases.
- The system Iimits autopilot (AP) and flight director (FD) bank angles during takeoft and
approach phases as follows :
15 when the aircraft speed is below the maneuvering speed (F, S, or Green Dot speed)
Normal AP/FD bank angle above maneuvering speed.
Note : The engine-out bank angle Iimits apply, when the FG part of the FMGS has
- - detected an engine-out. lt cannot be cleared by the crew through the MCDU
E.O CLEAR prompt.

AUTOTHRUST
The system extends the active range of the active engine from idle to maximum continuous
thrust (MCT instead of CL thrust).
The Flight Mode Annunciator requests maximum continuous thrust on the live engine at a
time that depends on when the engine-out occurs.

ENGINE-OUT CONDITIONS
The FMGS considers the aircraft to be in an engine-out condition, when one of the following
conditions is present and the aircraft has commenced takeoft or is in flight :
- One engine master switch oft, or
- N2 below idle, or
- One thrust Iever angle is below 5 with the other above 22, or
- The FADEC shows an engine fault.

ENGINE-OUT SID
An engine-out standard instrument departure (EOSID), when defined in the database, is
always for a specific runway. lt is indicated on the bottarn line of the SID page for that
runway, and you can select it manually.
The pilot can review the SID either by selecting the PLAN mode on the navigation display
(solid yellow line), or by selecting it on the SID page. ln the latter case, the navigation
display shows the SID as a temporary flight plan.
The last point, if any, that is common to both the SID and engine-out SID is called the
diversion point (DP).

- lnitiate a diversion if necessary.


Note : The engine-out descent strategy requires disconnection of the autothrust, and
descent in OPEN DES mode.
Disconnecting the autothrust prevents an automatic setting of THR IDLE; therefore,
the autopilot will fly the target speed in OP DES mode, with a thrust manually
se/ected by the crew
When reaching the FCU-se/ected altitude, or whenever normal descent is resumed
to a Jower altitude, reengage the autothrust.

I SECONDARY FLIGHT PLAN I


The secondary flight plan is an alternative flight plan that you can activate when required.
lt may include all the vertical elements except history wind.
With respect to the secondary flight plan, you can :
- Construct it independently.
- Copy it from the active flight plan.
- Delete it completely.
- Activate it as primary flight plan using ACTIVATE SEC prompt.

- The screen displays the "ACTIVATE SEC" prompt in flight :


when the heading (track) mode is engaged, or
when the navigation mode is engaged if the active legs of the primary and secondary
flight plans are common.
- The screen displays the "INIT" prompt if the secondary flight plan is not a copy of the
active flight plan.
The secondary flight plan sequences with the active flight plan when it is a copy of the
active.
The navigation display shows the secondary flight plan in white.
ln PLAN mode you can use the slew keys to review it (as you would for the primary flight
plan).

Predictions
The system computes predictions using the same performance methods and performance
factor it uses for the active flight plan. However, it predicts pseudo waypoints only for the
MCDU, not for the Navigation Display (ND).

- Computation of predictions when the secondary flight plan is a copy active of the
primary
The predictions are computed in the following cases :
during preflight if the origin airports are similar (takeoff runway may be different)
during takeoff, climb, or cruise phase if the active leg is also the first leg of the secondary.
until the top of descent is reached. (Top of descent of primary or secondary, whichever
comes first).
After top of descent, secondary predictions are lost when the systems detects an engine
failure.
- The pilot may use the secondary flight plan in the following situations :
At takeoft when an alternate takeoft runway is probable.
ln flight to prepare a diversion.
ln flight when an alternate landing runway is probable.
To prepare the next flight.
Note : The procedures used for the secondary flight plan are similar to those of the active

I FLIGHT PLAN INITIALIZATION THROUGH ACARS I


REQUEST FOR ACTIVE FLIGHT PLAN INITIALIZATION BEFORE ENGINE START
Before engine start, the pilot may request a raute for the active flight plan. When the raute
is received, "ACT RTE UPLINK" message is displayed on the MCDU indicating that the flight
plan has been received and automatically inserted.
After engine start, it is not possible to initialize directly the active flight plan since the
received flight plan is automatically routed into the secondary, and the MDCU displays
"SEC RTE UPLINK".
PROCEDURE
- DEPRESS the INIT REQUEST * prompt.
- The start (*) disappears, all data fields are dashed except :
CO RTE, FLT NBR if previously displayed and
default values.
The star is not displayed when the FMGS cannot communicate with the ACARS. No
request can be sent.
When an active flight plan exists, INIT REOUEST prompt is removed from the active INIT
page and no request can be sent for the active flight plan. lf a flight plan is entered
manually after the request, the uplink message is routed to the secondary.

A request for secondary flight plan can be initiated anytime. Any flight plan received after
engine start is automatically routed into the secondary flight plan.
When the flight plan is received, a message "SEC RTE UPLINK" is displayed on the MCDU
scratchpad. The secondary raute is stored and not processed until it is inserted by the
crew.
PROCEDURE TO INSERT OR REJECT A SECONDARY FLIGHT PLAN
When the uplink message is received, the INIT REOUEST prompt of INIT A page is replaced
by INSERT UPLINK (2R field). Pressing the 2R key will insert the flight plan into the
secondary. Clearing the prompt will reject it.
lf a temporary flight plan or a DIR TO is in progress, the uplink insertion is not accepted until
the temporary flight plan or the DIR TO is completed.

Tosend a wind request, press the "WIND REOUEST" selection key of any wind pages. This
request is automatically sent to the ground for one or more flight phases and for the
selected flight plan (primary or secondary). The content of the wind request message is not
dependent on the selected wind page (CLIMB, CRUISE or DESCENT) but on the flight phase
in progress.
- For active flight plan or secondary flight plan that is a "COPY ACTIVE", a wind request
sent by the crew :
* during preflight or takeoft phase, initiates a demand for climb, cruise, descent and
alternate winds.
* during climb and cruise phase, initiates a demand for cruise, descent and alternate
winds.
* during descent/approach and go around, no wind request is possible.
- For secondary flight plan that is not a "COPY ACTIVE" there is no restriction linked to
flight phase.

When the uplink message is received, the 2R field is modified, amber "WIND REOUEST"
is replaced by "INSERT UPLINK*" in blue color. This prompt, when pressed, enables the
pilot to insert the uplink wind data, phase per phase.
To access, review, insert or delete the uplink wind data of other phases, the pilot uses
"NEXT PHASE" or "PREV PHASE" key.
lf the pilot is not satisfied with the uplink winds, he will delete the winds, phase per phase
clearing the "INSERT UPLINK" prompt. This will delete all uplinked winds of the selected

- PRESS the F-PLN key on MCDU


- SELECT the VERTICAL REVISION at FROM waypoint
- WRITE a new speed limiValtitude and ENTER.
The pilot can insert one climb speed Iimit and one descent speed Iimit into the vertical
flight plan, or modify or clear the Iimits that are already in it.
The speed Iimit is defined by a speed and an altitude (for example, 230/9000), which
means that the managed speed target will be limited by the speed Iimit when the aircraft
flies below the specified altitude.
250 knots at 10,000 feet is the default speed Iimit in the vertical flight plan in both climb
and descent. The vertical revision page presents the climb speed (CLB SPD) Iimit if the
revised waypoint belongs to a SID or is between departure and top of climb.
The vertical revision page shows the descent speed (DES SPD) Iimit if the revised
waypoint belongs to a standard terminal arrival raute (STAR) or is between top of
descent and destination.
lt can be deleted by a clear action, field reverts to brackets. lt can also be cleared
directly on the F-PLN A page by clearing the SPD LIM pseudo waypoint.

Procedure
- PRESS the F-PLN key on MCDU
- SELECT the VERT REV page at revised waypoint
- WRITE the speed constraint value into the scratchpad and ENTER it in JL.
- INSERT the constraint using the appropriate *CLB or DES* prompt when displayed.
lf CLB and DES are not displayed, insertion occurs when the value is entered in JL.
The system displays the climb (CLB) or the descent (DES) prompt at [6L] or [6R] when
the predictions are not yet available or when the waypoint is part of the cruise phase
as originally defined.

When predictions are not yet available, the constraints are displayed on the F-PLN A page
in magenta.
When predictions are available, the speed constraint is highlighted by a star (*).
* lf the predicted speed matches the constraint, the star is magenta.
* lf the prediction is that the aircraft will miss the speed constraint, the star is amber.
lf a speed constraint cannot be met (by more than 10 kt), the FMGS generates the
message "SPD ERROR AT WPT XX".
A speed constraint may be assigned to any waypoint in the climb or the descent phase
except the FROM, origin, or destination waypoints, and any pseudo waypoint.
When a speed constraint is assigned to a waypoint, the constraint will Iimit the managed
speed target as follows :
- ln takeoft or climb phase until you pass the constrained waypoint.
- ln descent an approach phase, after passing the constrained waypoint.
Speed constraints are observed by the FMGS when NAV mode and speed managed are
active.

ENTERING A SPEED CONSTRAINT THROUGH F-PLN A PAGE


You may also enter a speed constraint through the F-PLN A page.

You or the database may assign an altitude constraint to any waypoint in the climb or
descent phases except the FROM, origin, or destination waypoints, or any pseudo
waypoint.
An altitude constraint may be defined as an "at", an "at or above", or an "at or below"
constraint. ln certain procedures, the database may define an altitude constraint as a
window in which the aircraft should fly.

- Enter "AT" constraints with no sign.


- Enter "AT or ABOVE" constraints preceded by a

sign (+ FL 130, for example).

- Enter "AT or BELOW" constraints preceded by a - sign (-15000, for example).


- enter four or five-digit number when entering altitude. lnclude the Iead zero (0500 feet,
for example).
For flight Ievei, enter a two- or three-digit number, with or without the letters "Ft:'. The
Iead zero is optional. (Examples : + FL 120 or + 120 ; -FL090 or -90 or -090)
- Enter the altitude value as either altitude or flight Ievei; the MCDU displays the selected
value as an "ALT' or "FL," as appropriate for the transition altitude.
The constraint must be higher than the thrust reduction altitude and lower than the
cruise flight Ievei.
Once inserted in the flight plan, the altitude constraint (ALT CSTR) is displayed in
magenta as lang as predictions are not available.
When predictions are available, the altitude constraints are replaced by the predicted
altitude at relevant waypoints highlighted by a star.
* lf the predicted altitude matches the constraint the star is magenta. lf the predicted
altitude is missed (by more than 250 ft), the star is amber.

- Insert the ZFWCG/ZFW/BLOCK tue/ preferab/y after F-PLN completion. lf
inserted before F-PLN completion, the FMGC automatically recomputes the

F-PLN completion takes more time than normal.

TAKEOFF WITH NO GROSS WEIGHT (GW) ENTRY


- lf a GW is not entered, or if the FMGS loses the number because of a power interruption,
managed speed will only be available for the takeoft phase, and, then, only if V2 has
been inserted.
After engine start, the MCDU displays "INITIALIZE WEIGHTS".
lf the pilot does not respond, the following occurs :
- At takeoff, the speed reference system (SRS) mode remains active until the aircraft
reaches acceleration altitude (ACC ALT), or engages another vertical mode.
- When the aircraft leaves the SRS mode, the target speed becomes the current speed
and is no Ionger managed.
Note: lf the AP/FD has reverted to ALT or V/S or FPA, the associated A/THR mode is
- - SPEED. ln that case, the system will probab/y reduce thrust, because the speed
will be equal to or greater than the target speed.

To regain a normal speed target, the pilot must :


- SELECT the appropriate climb speed on the FCU and PULL out the knob.

lf the managed speeds for the initial climb are not suitable, the pilot can preselect an
appropriate climb speed on the "PERF CLB" page, as lang as the climb phase is not active.
The CLB SPD preselection applies when :
- ATC specifies an initial climb speed.
- The initial climb speed must be lower than normal because :
There are to be turns greater than 120 in the initial climb out.
Obstade clearance, or some other situation, requires a high climb angle.
The airfield has a risk area to be quickly cleared (birds reported, for example).

ENTERING A HEADING/TRACK PRESET FUNCTION


The heading/track preset allows the pilot to preset a takeoff or go-around heading or track
before commanding the aircraft to take up that heading or track (manual activation).
The flight crew can enter a heading or a track preset while the aircraft is on the ground and
until takeoff.

Procedure
Before takeoff :

- SET the appropriate HDG or TRK in the FCU window.


This disarms the navigation mode and allows the runway mode to remain engaged after
takeoff.
After takeoff :

- PULL HDG/TRK selector knob.


The heading or track mode engages on the preset value.

The direction in which the pilot rotates the HDG/TRK selection knob usually determines
the direction of the turn. A left rotation (decreasing heading) produces a left turn; a right
rotation produces a right turn.
However, when a heading has been preset before takeoff or go-around, the direction of
the turn will be such as to cause the shortest turn at the moment of engagement.

CANCELLING THE HEADING/TRACK PRESET FUNCTION


The pilot can cancel the heading preset by pushing the HDG/TRK selector knob back in
again. This engages or arms the NAV mode.

a takeoft is initiated without FDs, the system responds as follow :


There are no FD bars.
There is no A/THR arming.
There is no guidance available.
The target speed on the PFD is that selected on the FCU or is defaulted to 100 kt.
Setting the thrust Ievers to the CL detent does not activate A/THR.

Procedure
- Establish initial climb of 15

When reaching the thrust reduction altitude (THR RED ALT) :


- SELECT a climb speed.
- SET the thrust Ievers to CL detent.
- ACTIVATE the autothrust.
- TURN ON the FDs (basic modes engage).
- SELECT appropriate mode.
- Failure of both FDs after the start of takeoft :
The FD bars disappear.
The FCU window displays the target speed, which synchronizes on V2, or the
current speed (if it is higher).
The autothrust remains armed.
At thrust reduction altitude, LVR CLB flashes. lf the pilot set the thrust Ievers to the
CLB detent, the autothrust becomes active in selected SPD mode (no FDs selected).
lf the current speed is greater than the target speed, the thrust decreases.
At acceleration altitude the target speed does not change, since it is selected.

I TAKEOFF WITH NO V2 ENTRY I


lf V2 is not inserted, the speed reference system (SRS) will not engage for takeoff.
Five seconds after Iift oft, V/S mode will engage. When V/S engages the current airspeed
becomes the FCU target speed.
To regain a normal speed target, the pilot must :

- SELECT the appropriate climb speed on the FCU and PULL out the knob.

At ACC ALT:
- PUSH the A/THR pushbutton on the FCU.
- SET the thrust Ievers to CL detent.
- PUSH in the SPD selector knob to get a managed speed target.

- DESELECT the ILS (LS) pushbutton on the FCU.

- SELECT ROSE-ILS on one ND.


I TAKEOFF IN GPS PRIMARY MODE

~I

For certain airports, where the difterence between local coordinate system and WGS 84
(geodetic standard used by GPS, FMS) is not negligible, a map shift may occur after
takeoft. lt is caused by the FM position update to the runway threshold coordinates at
takeoft thrust application.
When departing from these airports, consider deselecting the GPS for takeoft. This will
delay the map shift until reselection of the GPS, which is recommended when a safe
altitude is reached.

Altitude constraint
lf an altitude constraint is predicted as missed, use the following procedure :
- SET the FCU ALT to the next ALT CSTR
- CHECK the position of the Ievei oft symbol on the ND (blue arrow) with respect
to the waypoint with the constraint.
- DECREASE the target speed until the constraint is met.

Upon reaching the cruise flight Ievei, the pilot should be sure that the FMA displays "ALT
CRZ" or ( - ) in its second column, which ensures that the aircraft is at cruise flight Ievei.
The FMGS engages the "soft altitude" mode 2 minutes after the cruise flight Ievei is
captured and Mach stabilized. "Soft altitude" mode allows the aircraft to deviate 50 feet
from the target altitude to minimize the thrust variation and reduce the fuel consumption.
lf the FMA does notdisplayALT CRZ o r - at the assigned flight Ievei, soft altitude mode
will not engage and the predictions will be computed at the preplanned flight Ievei. This will
occur when the ATC assigned flight Ievei is lower than the preplanned flight Ievei entered
on the PROG page.
lt the FMA does notdisplayALT CRZ or (-) at the assigned FL (as may occur when the
ATC-assigned FL is lower than the preplanned FL selected initially) :

- PRESS the [PROG] key.


- ENTER the current cruise flight Ievei.
Note : lf the current cruise flight Ievel is above the preplanned FL, se/ecting the FCU
- - updates it automatical/y.

"SET SPD AUTO" (or "SET MANAGED SPD")


lf the climb phase was flown in selected speed and if the cruise phase is planned to be
flown in managed speed (ECON MACH/SPEED), "SET SPD AUTO" (or "SET MANAGED
SPEED") appears on the PFD and MCDU as a reminder.

- PRESS the FCU speed selector knob to activate the managed Mach.

I MONITORING THE NAVIGATION ACCURACY I


On aircraft equipped with GPS PRIMARY, the navigation accuracy check is not required as
lang as GPS PRIMARY is available. ~
Otherwise, navigation accuracy shall be checked periodically in cruise.
The PROG page displays an estimated accuracy as being high or low (center of sixth line).
"HIGH" means that the FMGS estimates the FM position accurate enough to meet the EN
ROUTE criteria.
- "LOW" means that the pilot must compare raw data from tuned navaids with
corresponding data computed by FM and shown on the ND or MCDU PROG page. The
appearance of the message "NAV ACCUR DOWNGRAD" on the MCDU calls for a similar
crosscheck.
Note : The pilot should make such a comparison periodical/y, even if the PROG page is
- - disp/aying "HIGH" and navaids are avai/ab/e : this allows him to quantify the FM
position error.
The method for checking the accuracy is explained in the SOP and in 4.02.20.
A quick check is explained here below when the TO waypoint is a DME type. (VOR/DME
or VOR/TAC or DME or TAC)

I MONITORING THE PREDICTIONS I


The F-PLN page and FUEL PRED page show fuel and time predictions. These predictions
are meaningful if the flight plan and entered winds are accurate enough.
Procedure
- UPDATE the F-PLN to show accurate predictions.
- Periodically CHECK the wind on the F-PLN B page, and update it when the
current wind is significantly different.
- Monitor the fuel by checking :
Estimated fuel on board (EFOB) at destination (F-PLN page)
EFOB at alternate and extra fuel (FUEL PRED page)

lf the extra fuel is negative, modify successively the following data until the
extra fuel becomes null or positive :
- CHECK current cruise flight Ievei versus the optimum Ievei (OPT FL)
lf advisable, REOUEST reassignment to the OPT FL (or OPT FL + 2000)
- Decrease the cost index down to zero if necessary (MIN FUEL)
- SELECT another ALTN on the ALTN page and CHECK whether or not XTRA FUEL
becomes positive.
- Continue to check different alternates until you find one for which XTRA FUEL
is null or positive.

When an alternate is not necessary, you may select "NO ALTN" option :
- CHECK the required conditions (weather, runways, etc.) for NO ALTN.
- SELECT "NO ALTN" on the ALTN selection page.
- ADJUST FINAL TIME on the FUEL PRED page.
- CHECK XTRA FUEL.

I IMMEDIATE CHANGE OF LEVEL IN CRUISE I


When the pilot changes his flight Ievei without inserting a step :
- lf the FCU-selected altitude is above the previous CRZ FL, the CRZ FL on the PROG page
changes to the new flight Ievei.
- lf the FCU-selected altitude is lower than the previous CRZ FL and if the distance to
DEST is more than 200 NM, the CRZ FL on the PROG page changes.
ln that case Mach target is managed as follows :
At the start of the descent, the Mach target is the managed Mach number at the initial
cruise flight Ievei.
When the aircraft reaches the new flight Ievei, the Mach target switches either to the
Mach number for the lower CRZ FL, or to the speed for the lower CRZ FL if the aircraft
reaches the crossover altitude. This logic prevents the aircraft from exceeding Vmo
during descent.
- lf the FCU-selected altitude is lower than the previous CRZ FL and the aircraft is within
200 NM of its destination, the system activates the descent phase.
The pilot may reactivate the cruise phase by entering a new cruise flight Ievei in the
PROG page.

ENTERING THE WINDS FOR DESCENT


Refer to 4.04.20.
ENTERING AN AUTO SPEED
As lang as descent phase is not active, the PERF DES page may be used to select either
a speed or a Mach number or both to replace the optimum descent speed. This speed is
the called Auto speed.
The Flight Guidance Computer then uses your Auto speed instead of the ECON Speed for
computing the descent profile and determining the Descent Managed Speed profile.
When the system switches to the descent phase, it sets the managed target speed to the
auto speed. From there, you may modify the speed by using the FCU selector knob only.
Once in descent phase, the pilot cannot select the ECON speed again.

When the aircraft reaches the top of descent (F/D) :

- SELECT the altitude target.


- PUSH the ALT selector knob. DES mode engages.
- CHECK the FMA annunciators.

R I DESCENT MONITORING
DES MODE ENGAGED
When DES mode is engaged, NAV mode is engaged, and the system takes into account
all altitude and speed constraints.
The key parameter for monitaring the descent is the vertical deviation (VDEV) displayed on
the PFD and on the PROG page, which indicates whether the aircraft is on, above, or below
the descent profile.

Procedure
- SET the ATC cleared altitude on the FCU (considering also what is the safe
altitude).
lf the lowest safe altitude is high er than the ATC-cleared altitude, check with ATC that
this constraint applies.
lf it is confirmed, SET the FCU altitude to the safe altitude until it is safe to go to the
ATC-cleared altitude.
- MONITOR the vertical deviation (VDEV) on the PFD and the PROG page.
- MONITOR the speed change that occurs when the aircraft reaches a speed
change symbol (magenta ball) under managed speed.
- MONITOR the FMA (ALT*, ALT CST*, ALT, ALT CST) when the aircraft reaches
Ievei symbols.

lf the aircraft is on the descent profile


The aircraft is considered to be on the vertical profile when it is within 50 feet of it.
VDEV is close to zero, and the system predicts that it will match constraints until the
aircraft Ieveis oft at the next FCU altitude.
- MONITOR the predicted descent point after the next Ievei-off.
The A/THR adjusts the thrust for the particular segment. The first FMA column may
display "THR IDLE" or "SPEED".

When this symbol reaches the next ALT CSTR waypoint "MORE DRAG" appears on
the PFD indicating that speedbrakes must be extended in order to match the next

Note : When DES mode is engaged, the speed brake extension will not necessarily
increase the descent rate. Jt does so only if the aircraft is above the profile.
lf the aircraft is on or below the profile : the system will add thrust to keep
the aircraft on profile and within the speed target range.

Procedure
- SET the FCU altitude as cleared by ATC, while considering the applicable safe
altitude.
lf the next safe altitude is higher than the ATC-cleared altitude, check with the ATC
to verify that this constraint applies.
lf confirmed, set the FCU altitude to the safe altitude, until it is safe to fly at the
cleared altitude.
- MONITOR the speed target, when the aircraft reaches the speed change
symbol.
- MONITOR the FMA ALT*, ALT. upon reaching the Ievei symbol.

- When in HDG/TRK mode, MONITOR the energy circle (if installed) on the ND.
The MCDU F-PLN page presents SPD/ALT constraint-matching predictions, which
assume that DES mode is immediately re-engaged.

- CHECK the predictions before re-engaging DES mode (in order to resume the
descent profile).
Note: VDEV is avai/ab/e on the PFD even in HDG mode ; it is a valuab/e too/ for
monitaring the descent, as lang as erosstrack error (XTK) is Jess than five
nautica/ mi/es.
The aircraft automatical/y decelerates for approach, only if it flies over the
DEGEL pseudo waypoint with NAV mode engaged (or LOG*, LOG).

I EXPEDITE DESCENT

~I

When ATC requires a rapid descent :

- DEPRESS THE EXPED pushbutton


Flight guidance (FG) pitches the aircraft to acquire and maintain 0.80/340. FG orders a pitch
rate that produces no more than 0.15 g. The pilot can use this mode to initiate an
emergency descent. To resume normal descent, PUSH the ALT selection knob or engage
any other vertical mode.

attempt to change the ILS frequency or CRS, via the MCDU or RMP, does not affect the
receiver.
lf the speed is managed, the system does not accept any modifications the flight crew may
enter on the PERF APPR page (surface wind, selected landing configuration, or VAPP) for
speed guidance purposes below this altitude.
When the aircraft reaches 400 feet RA, LAND mode engages. The flight crew can only
disengage this mode by engaging the GO AROUND mode.

USE of RMPs for ILS/DME


lf both FMGCs fail, you will tune the ILS frequency on both RMPs simultaneously. lf the ILS
has a DME, the PFD will not display the DME distance. ln this situation you will fly without
DME information. lf necessary, increase the DH accordingly.

LOC BEAM CAPTURE


The pilot must always monitor the capture of a LOC beam. During this evolution the
associated deviation indications on the PFD and ND must indicate movement toward the
center of the scale. The pilot can avoid making a false capture by being careful not to arm
the LOC too early.
The following graph shows the angle of interception versus distance that ensures that any
overshoot will be less than 1.3 dot.

The capture begins when the deviation is two dots or less. lt is programmed to line the
aircraft up on the beam with a single overshoot, even when the intercept angle is large.
Note : ICAO requires loc beam to ensure a normal capture within 10 NM and +/- 35

R
R
R
R
R

When APPR (LOC-G/S) modes are armed very early (weil outside the normal G/S capture
envelope), a spurious G/S* engagement may occur. This spurious G/S capture will order a
pitch up, if the aircraft is below the glide beam, and a pitch down attitude, if the aircraft
is above the glide beam.
This causes the aircraft to leave its current trajectory : e.g. if ALT hold, the aircraft will quit
the target altitude.
Whenever the pilot notices the pitch movement, or the spurious G/S*, or the trajectory
deviation, he will immediately disconnect the AP, if engaged, to reestablish a normal
attitude and will disengage APPR mode.
lt is then recommended to arm/rearm APP (ILS) mode within the normal capture zone.

Note : ICAO defines the envelope where the quality of the GIS signal ensures a normal

I SWITCHING FROM NON ILS TO ILS APPROACH I


lf an ILS approach is possible when a non ILS was previously scheduled, use one of the
following procedures :
1. Use a secondary flight plan to prepare the alternate ILS approach, time permitting.
- COPY the ACTIVE flight plan.
- REVISE the ARRIVAL : insert the ILS approach and the applicable STAR/VIA.
- On the RAD NAV page, TUNE in the ILS manually.
- REVISE the PERF APPR page.
2. ATC changes the clearance from the non-ILS to the ILS approach.

lf a secondary flight plan has been prepared :


- ACTIVATE the SEC F-PLN and adjust.
- Follow subsequent standard procedures.

lf a secondary flight plan has not been prepared :


- REVISE the ARRIVAL on the primary F-PLN, inserting the ILS approach.
- REVISE the PERF APPR page.
- Follow subsequent standard procedures.

CAUTION
lf the pilot decides to fly the ILS approach without revising the arrival of the primary
flight plan (a non ILS approach is in the F-PLN), LOC and G/S modes will not be
available when he presses the APPR pushbutton.
Consequently, he should :
Manually TUNE in the ILS on the RAD NAV page : CHECKthat the "CHECK APPR

I TASK SHARING DURING CAT I. CAT II and CAT 111 APPROACH AND LANDING I
FCOM 3.01.22 provides alllimitations regarding CAT I, CAT II and CAT 111 approaches and
landings. This includes precautions to be taken when performing autoland on CAT I ILS
beam with good visibility.
Anytime a precision approach is performed the PNF must announce that a flight parameter
is being exceeded if :
- During glide beam capture
Pitch attitude becomes lower than - 2S or greater than + 1oo (nose up).
Vertical speed exceeds + 500 feeVminute or - 1250 feeVminute.
- During final approach
Speed goes below speed target- 5 knots or above speed target + 10 knots (announce
"SPEED").
Pitch attitude goes below - 2S or above 1oo (announce "PITCH").
Bank angle becomes greater than JO (announce "BANK").
Descent rate becomes greater than 1000 feeVminute (announce "SINK RATE").
There is too much LOC or GLIDE deviation (announce "LOCALIZER" or "GLIDE").
lf the pilot has any doubt about the autopilot guidance, he should use the instinctive
disconnect pushbutton to disconnet the autopilot, or should commence an automatic go
around.
The pilot may perform a CAT 11/CAT 111 approach if :
- The FMA displays the corresponding category.
- The required systems and functions are operative.
- The airfield installation is authorized for such a category.
- You are qualified for the specific approach.

CAT 111 approach


AUTO CALL OUT RA is mandatory.

I LANDING eATEGORIES I
Each FMGC computes its own landing category: CAT1, CAT2, CAT3 single, and CAT3 dual
and displays the corresponding landing category on the FMAs.
Each category depends upon the availability of aircraft systems and functions.
When the landing category downgrades, a triple clic aural warning is activated.

FAIL-OPERATIONAL AUTOMATie LANDING SYSTEM


An automatic landing system is fail-operational if, in the event of a failure below alert
height, the remaining part of the automatic system allows the aircraft to complete the
approach, flare, and landing. A CAT 3 DUAL system is a fail-operational automatic landing
system.
Note : ln the event of a failure, the automatic landing system operates as a fail-passive
system.

FAlL-PASSIVE AUTOMATie LANDING SYSTEM


An automatic landing system is fail-passive if, in the event of a failure, there is no
significant out-of-trim condition or deviation offlight path or attitude, but the landing is not
completed automatically. A CAT3 single system is a fail-passive automatic landing system.
Note : With a fail-passive automatic landing system the pilot assumes control of the
- - aircraft after a failure.

Below 100 feet (radio altimeter), the FMGS freezes the landing capability until LAND mode
is disengaged or both APs are oft.
Therefore a failure occuring below 100 feet does not change the category of the system.

R ALERT HEIGHT
R
R
R
R
R

The alert height is the height above tauch down, above which a CAT3 autoland would be
discontinued and a missed approach executed, if a failure occured in either the airplane
systems or the relevant ground equipments.
Below the alert height, if such a failure occurs, the flare, touchdown and roll out may be
accomplished using the remaining automatic system.

I WARNINGS FOR ILS APPROACH

AUTOLAND warning
With "LAND" or "FLARE" green on the FMA and at least one AP engaged, the AUTOLAND
red light appears on the glareshield when the aircraft is below 200 feet RA and one of the
following events occurs :
- The autopilots are lost, or
- The aircraft gets too far oft the beam (LOC or G/S flash on PFD), or
- Lass of LOC signal above 15 feet, or lass of glide signal above 100 feet (transmitter or
receivers).
- The difference between both radio altimeter indications is greater than 15 feet.
When the Autoland light comes on, Autoland must be discontinued (Refer to 4.05.70 p. 17,
18, 19).

Warning of excessive beam deviation


This warning is a flashing of the LOC and G/S scales on the PFD and ND ROSE ILS. lt occurs
whenever:
- G/S deviation is greater than 1 dot (above 100 feet RA).
- LOC deviation is greater than 1/4 dot (above 15 feet RA).

Warning associated with ILS "landing capability"


Any downgrading in the aircraft's capability for automatic approach and landing sounds a
triple-click aural warning.

Failure of both localizer and glideslope receivers


The PFD and ND (rase ILS mode) display red LOC and G/S flags (if the ILS pushbutton has
been pressed green). LOC and G/S scales disappear from the PFD.
lf LOC or G/S modes are engaged and at least one AP/FD is engaged
- The AP disengages.
- The FD reverts to its HDG - V/S or TRK - FPA modes.

Failure of localizer or glideslope transmitter (when captured)


- The corresponding index is lost.
- The LOC and G/S scales flash.
- The corresponding FD bar flashes.
The FMA retains the LOC and G/S modes : lf the transmitter failure is temporary, the APs
are able to regain these modes. lf the failure is Iang-term, or if it occurs when the aircraft
is below 200 feet RA, this allows the aircraft to perform a GO AROUND with one or 2
autopilots engaged.

Procedure
- PRESS the RAD NAV key.
- ENTER the ILS IDENT.
lf the ILS is in the database, the system tunes the proper frequency and the front
course.
Note: This may trigger the "RWY!ILS MISMATCH" message. Disregard it.

lf the ILS is not in the database


- SET the appropriate frequency and SET the FRONT CRS into the CRS field.
- On the EFIS control panel, SELECT the ILS ROSE mode.
The display shows the correct LEFT/RIGHT information for the beam deviation
CAUTION

00 NOT select ILS through the ILS pushbutton switch : doing so makes the
PFD show reverse deviations.

STABILIZED APPROACH
The "stabilized approach" brings the aircraft to intercept the final descent path in the

GPS OVERLAY APPROACH WITH REFERENCE NAVAIDS SERVICEABLE


ln a GPS overlay approach, the aircraft is laterally guided along the trajectory of a published
VOR or VOR/DME or NDB or NDB/DME approach using the GPIRS position data instead of
radio navaid data. The GPS overlay approach is flown in GPS PRIMARY navigation mode
with radio navaids tuned and raw data displayed on the ND.
Perform a managed guidance approach (APP NAV - FINAL modes) with the following
recommendations:
- CHECKthat GPS PRIMARY is displayed at least for the FMCG to be used.

lf during the approach GPS primary is lost or the ECAM warning "FM/GPS POS
DISAGREE" is triggered :
- CHECK raw data

lf the raw data are correct :

- CONTINUE the approach

lf the raw data display excessive deviations :

- SELECT HDG V/S or TRK-FPA using navaid raw data for guidance
GPS STAND-ALONE APPROACH OR OVERLAY APPROACH WITH REFERENCE NAVAIDS
UNSERVICEABLE
ln a GPS stand-alone approach the aircraft is laterally guided along the trajectory using the
GPIRS position data solely. The waypoints of the trajectory are purely referenced in
coordinates (WGS84 or equivalent) and are not defined by means of radio navaids. The GPS
stand-alone approach is flown in GPS PRIMARY navigation mode without the assistance of
radio navaids.
Perform a managed guidance approach (APP NAV-FINAL modes) with the following
recommendations.
Before the flight, check the availability of the GPS satellites : if 22 or less are operative,
check the availability of the GPS primary mode at destination using the Litton ground
prediction programme.
- GPS PRIMARY must be displayed on both MCDUs before starting the approach.

lf GPS PRIMARY is lost on one side during the approach :


- Use the other side

lf GPS PRIMARY is lost on both sides or if "FM/GPS POS DISAGREE" ECAM


warning is triggered during the approach :
- PERFORM a Go around

The non precision approach is flown in selected modes (TRK-FPA or HDG-V/S) when :
* the approach is not stored in the database or
* GPS PRIMARY is lost and the nav accuracy check is negative.
INTERMEDIATE APPROACH
Procedure
- USE TRK-FPA mode
- SELECT ND in the ROSE VOR mode
- KEEP the autothrust active
- USE managed speed
FINAL APPROACH
Upon reaching the final approach fix
- SELECT a final approach track on the FCU
- SELECT an FPA (flight path angle) to the final descent path angle
Anticipate the selection of FPA to smooth the interception of the final path.
Note: lf the pilot is using the AP, select the final FPA approximately 0.3 NM before the
- - final approach fix.

- SELECT a go around altitude on FCU.


- USE raw data to monitor aircraft position and flight path.
-AT MDA/MDH

lf visual references are acquired

lf visual references are not acquired

- DISCONNECT the autopilot and continue the approach visually.

- INITIAlE a go around
lf the aircraft has arrived at MDA!MDH prior to reaching the missed approach point,
a Ievei oft may be performed while searching for visual reference.
- At MAP at the latest, go around.

NON DIRECTIONAL BEACON (NDB) APPROACH TYPE


When the flight plan calls for an NDB approach, the system automatically tunes the ADF,
only when the aircraft is passing the first fix of the approach. Therefore, it is convenient
to manually tune the ADF earlier (before activating the approach phase).
Fly a Non Directional Beacon (NDB) approach as any non precision approach.

LOC APPROACH TYPE


- SELECT the LOC pushbutton in intermediate approach, to arm the LOC mode.
CAUTION

[00" not select the APPR pushbutton.

- SELECT the ND in ROSE ILS mode.

Upon reaching the final approach fix :


- MONITOR LOC engagement.
- SELECT the FPA to the final descent path angle.

I AUTOMATie FMGS RESET AND RESYNCHRONIZATION

FM RESET
When the FM software cannot work properly or receives instructions to perform impossible
operations, it automatically resets itself. A resynchronization with the other FM always
follows.
When the reset is a minor one, the system will recover by itself. One single reset lasts 2
to 3 seconds maximum followed by 25 seconds of resynchronization.
When the reset is a major one :
- Resets recur at short intervals (several in two or three minutes).
- The memories are cleared, leading to the lass of F-PLN, GW, Cl, CRZ FL, MCDU-entered
speeds and navaids and to database switching.

FM RESYNCHRONIZATION
An FM resynchronization automatically occurs after an FM reset but it may occur
independently each time seit camparisans between FM1 and FM2 reveal discrepancies.
One single resynchronization lasts approximately 25 seconds.
lf 5 several resynchronizations occur within 5 minutes, independent mode commences.

FMGC STATUS DURING A RESET/RESYNCH


While a RESET/RESYNCH occurs :
- The ND shows "MAP NOT AVAIL".
- The MCDU reverts to the A/C STATUS page, with "PLEASE WAll" displayed in the
scratchpad.
- Autotuning of Navaids (VOR, DME, ADF) are lost on the failed side.
- AP and managed modes may be transiently lost (reversion to HDGN/S or TRK/FPA).
- lf the pilot presses a key while the scratchpad is showing "PLEASE WAll", there is no
change at MCDU Ievei. This is normal, and the crew should no respond by pulling the
MCDU circuit breaker.

I MANUAL RESET OF FMGCs I


The FMGC may, on rare occasions, require manual resetting. lf this occurs in flight, reset
one FMGC at a time.

MANUALLY RESETTING ONE FMGC


Before resetting FMGC 1 (or 2), SWITCH OFF FD 1 (or 2).
After applying external power or APU generator power, wait two minutes before resetting
the FMGC circuit breakers.
Pull the CB of the affected FMGC and reset it after five seconds. The circuit breakers for
the FMGC's are :
-AUTO FLT/FMGC 1 M16 ON 121 VU, or 82 ON 49 VU, with Mod 20748.
-AUTO FLT/FMGC 2 M17 ON 121 VU
CAUTION
Always wait 1 minute after the "PLEASE WAll" message disappears from the MCDU,
before engaging or re-engaging the FDs and the AP of the reset FMGC.

MANUALLY RESETTING BOTH FMGCs


When the aircraft is on the ground with engines stopped, the pilot crew may attempt a
double and simultaneaus CB resets when a single CB reset has failed.
Apply the procedure described above to both FMGCs.

I ERRONEOUS PREDICTIONS I
The FMGS may display temporary erroneous predictions that can affect various data such
as ECON speed/Mach, optimum flight Ievei, fuel or time predictions.
lf erroneous predictions are observed :

On ground :
- Check the cruise temperature (sign and value), the gross weight and the cruise
flight Ievei.
On ground or in flight :
- REENTER the same cost index to restart a computation or
- MAKE a COPY ACTIVE then activate the secondary or
- MAKE a DIR TO the "TO" waypoint
(ln descent or approach, a cost index change does not restart a computation).

- APPLY the same sequence for FAC 2.
I FM/GPS POS DISAGREE MESSAGE

~I

This ECAM message is triggered when either one of the FM positions differs from either
of the GPS positions by more than 0.5 minutes of latitude or longitude.
This may occur when an update of the FM positions is performed automatically by the FM
(Takeoff update or loc update in approach with unprecise airfield or navaid position within
the database), or manually by the pilot (manual update). For procedure, refer to abnormal
procedure 3.02.34 and ORH.

I"CHECK GW MESSAGE" I

"CHECK GW MESSAGE" appears on the MCDU when the gross weight computed by the
FM and that computed by the FAC disagree by more than seven tons (16055 LB ). When
this message appears :

- CALL UP the MCDU FUEL PRED page and CHECK the current GW ( main engine
start weight from Ioad sheet - fuel used) and correct it if necessary.
- lf the current GW on the MCDU is correct. (FM characteristics speed displayed on
the MCDU are correct).

DISREGARD the computed FAC characteristics speed (VIs, F, S, Green Dot) and refer to
speeds given in the ORH.
(FM characteristics speed displayed on the MCDU are correct).
- lf the Ioad sheet seems to be the cause of the discrepancy

COMPARE FAC and ORH speeds, and select the most appropriate.
R I"AUTO FLT A/THR OFF MESSAGE" I

R
R
R

"AUTO FLT A/THR OFF MESSAGE" may be displayed on the ECAM during cockpit
preparation when the FCU A/THR pushbutton has been used on ground to arm and disarm
the A/THR. (lt is sometimes performed for maintenance purpose).

Procedure before engine start :


- ARM the A/THR with the FCU pushbutton to clear the message.

lf one engine is started, the FCU pushbutton is inhibited until takeoft and the crew cannot
clear the message.
R

Procedure after engine start :

R
R

- WAIT until takeoft initiation, the warning will automatically disappear when the
thrust Ievers are set to FLX or TOGA.
Note : lf the warning comes up after engine start, envisage an A/THR failure.

I MCDU LOCKED or BLANK I


1. When one MCDU Iacks up, or becomes blank, all FMGS functions remain available, but
the pilot cannot enter information into the MCDU, and cannot call up any MCDU pages
for display.

Procedure
- PULL the CB for the locked or blank MCDU, and PUSH it back in after 10 seconds.
Note : During a RESET/RESYNC, if the crew presses a key whi/e the scratchpad is
- - showing "PLEASE WAJT", there is no change at the MCDU Ievel. This is
normal, and the pilot should not respond by pulling the MCDU CB.
2. When both MCDUs are simultaneously locked up, the failure is usually due to an FMGC
software anomaly.

Procedure
- Pu II the FMGC 1 CB and push it back in after 10 seconds. lf unsuccessful, reset the
FMGC2 CB.

I CROSSLOAD OF NAV DATABASE I


Both FMGCs are sometimes loaded with 2 different NAV database. The DUAL mode of
operation is not possible until both FMGCs receive the same database.
This may occur when a spare FMGC is loaded on an aircraft very lately before the flight.
The crossload procedure will be applied to restore the DUAL mode of operations.
CROSSLOAD can be initiated during preflight or done phase only.
The MCDU to be used is the MCDU of the FMGC loaded with the correct NAV database.
