Brake pedals should be released when the A/SKID & N/W STRG selector is switched OFF, since pedal force
produces more braking action in alternate mode than in normal mode.
3. A/SKID & N/W STRG OFF
4. BRAKE PEDALS PRESS
Apply brakes with care since initial pedal force or displacement produces more braking action in alternate mode
than in normal mode.
5. MAX BRK PR 1000 PSI
Monitor brake pressure on BRAKES PRESS indicator. Limit brake pressure to approximately 1000 psi and at low
ground speed adjust brake pressure as required.
IF STILL NO BRAKING:
1. PARKING BRAKE SHORT AND SUCCESSIVE APPLICATION
Use short and successive brake applications to stop the aircraft. Brake onset asymmetry may be felt at each
parking brake application. If possible delay use of parking brake until low speed to reduce the risk of tire burst
and lateral control difficulties.
CAUTION: Autobrakes will not activate below 72 knots.

Another possible feature is the curved segment, called an RF (radius to fix) leg.
The MCDU FLT PLAN page will have "__ ARC" displayed between the defining waypoints of an RF leg, where the number is
the radius of the arc.
Airbus aircraft have uncompensated BARO-VNAV systems. Temperature limits must be respected.
To determine approach category us VAPP on MCDU PERF page. Use approach category to determine maximum speed
when on an RF leg segment (consult QRH table).
Do not accept any clearance direct to a fix unless it is outside the FAF/GP intercept and does not immediately precede an
RF leg.
Do not modify waypoints. Modifying waypoints may remove an RF leg, compromising obstacle clearance.
Once inside the FAF/GP Intercept, the PM must callout deviations that equal or exceeds 1/2 dot on the V/DEV scale. If
V/DEC increases to 3/4 dot deviation, execute a missed approach.
MISSED APPROACH
ESTIMATED is the measure of position accuracy. If ESTIMATED value exceeds the REQUIRED value, NAV ACCUR
DOWNGRAD is displayed. FM position is reliable but not sufficient to continue. Continue use of NAV but execute a missed
approach.
GPS PRIMARY and HIGH accuracy must be present on both MCDU PROG pages. If GPS PRIMARY is lost, ESTIMATED
position will increase with time. FM position is reliable but not sufficient to continue. Continue use of NAV but execute
Missed Approach. Monitor FMA to ensure NAV is engaged.
If a missed approach is executed above 1000 ft AGL with NAV available, either
Accomplish the go-around maneuver and monitor the FMA to ensure NAV is engaged.
If a missed approach is executed below 1000 ft AGL, utilize the go-around procedure. Monitor FMA to ensure NAV is
engaged.
Always monitor FMA to ensure NAV is engaged. GA TRK may cause the aircraft to rapidly depart a curved RF course.

Radio altimeter is primary flight path indicator. In some cases barometric instruments (altimeter/VSI) can indicate a
climb even though terrain elevation may be increasing faster than the climb rate of the airplane. In these cases it is
critical to call out the trend Descending as determined from the radio altimeter.

Emergency Descent
This maneuver is designed to provide a smooth descent to a safe altitude, in minimum time, with the lowest possible
passenger discomfort.
The captain will assume PF duties for all emergency descents.
If structural damage is suspected, limit airspeed as much as possible, and avoid high maneuvering loads.
The autopilot and A/THR should remain engaged and used to accomplish the descent. If the autopilot is not available
manually fly the maneuver.

reception, or
Expanded Discussion
Don oxygen masks and establish crew communications, if required. If CAB ALT > 14,000 ft, select PAX OXY MASKS to
MAN ON.
Select OP DES and VMO/MMO if appropriate. If A/THR is not available retard thrust levers to idle. Initiate a turn, if
necessary. Smoothly extend the speedbrakes, and lower the nose to initial descent attitude (approximately 10 nosedown).
Wait at least 10 seconds after the aircraft starts descent before fully extending the speedbrakes. Rapid deployment of the
speedbrakes at high altitude/slow speed will cause VLS to be greater than the existing speed and may cause autopilot
disconnection and speedbrakes auto retraction if angle of attack protection is activated.
About 10 knots before reaching target speed (VMO/MMO) slowly reduce the pitch attitude to maintain target speed. If
VMO/MMO is inadvertently exceeded, change pitch smoothly to decrease speed.
Approaching level off altitude, smoothly adjust pitch attitude to reduce rate of descent. The speedbrake lever should be
retracted approximately 1000 feet above the desired altitude. After reaching level flight, add thrust to maintain desired
speed.
When turbulent air is encountered or expected, reduce to turbulent air penetration speed. Rapid descent is normally made
with the landing gear up and speedbrakes FULL.
Level off at 10,000 feet or safe altitude, whichever is higher.
Approximately 1000 feet above the desired altitude, smoothly return the speedbrake to CLOSE during the level off
maneuver. When approaching the selected altitude, the altitude capture will engage automatically. Adjusting the
command speed to approximately LRC or 300 knots prior to level off minimizes thrust lever activity at altitude capture.
The pitch mode will then control altitude and the thrust levers will increase to hold speed.

TCAS Warnings
Avoid excessive maneuvers while aiming to keep the vertical speed outside the red area of the VSI and within the green

Non-Normal Procedures
1. PF Maintain Aircraft Control
The PF will devote total awareness to the control and navigation of the airplane and use automation as appropriate to help
reduce workload.
the airplane flight path and configuration are properly established, and
the airplane is not in a critical phase of flight (e.g., takeoff, landing)
the PM determines and verbalizes whether the non-normal is an Immediate Action Item or an ECAM Exception. The
Immediate Action Index and ECAM Exception Index are available on the back of the QRH.
checklist title
5. Captain - Assigns PF
In-flight, the captain should normally assign the flying duties to the first officer while non-normal checklists are completed
unless conditions dictate otherwise. This allows the captain to direct full attention to the accomplishment of non-normal
procedures and conduct communications with external resources. The captain should verbalize who will assume ATC
communications.
ECAM Exception. PM refers to the ECAM Exceptions Index on the back cover of the QRH for page reference.
Non-Normal procedure that is not indicated by ECAM. PM refers to the Alphabetic Index for the page reference.
PF calls ECAM Action in case of:
ECAM procedures that are not ECAM Exceptions. PM refers to the electronic checklist.
