L1 WINDSHIELD AND UPPER COCKPIT FUSELAGE.....................................ICE/SNOW REMOVED
CAUTION With ice or snow accumulated on the windshield and/or the upper cockpit
fuselage, and if the PROBE/WINDOW HEAT is on, melted ice or snow running
down from these areas could re-freeze on the fuselage area below, if the
temperature is very low. This could create ice build-up on the forward fuselage
that could possibly disturb the airflow around the static/pitot/angle-of-attack
probes.
PROBE COVERS............................................................................................... CHECK REMOVED
L2
Ensure that the probe covers are removed in order to prevent the covers from melting.
L1 PROBE/WINDOW HEAT...............................................................................................................ON

AFTER START
After first engine start:
PROBE/WINDOW HEAT....................................................................................................AUTO
L2
Heating will continue to operate automatically.
L1 NORMAL PROCEDURE...............................................................................................RESUME
On ground (Aircraft taxiing or parked) in case of heavy rain, water may enter the avionics ventilation
system via the skin air inlet valve.
When on ground:
EXTRACT...............................................................................................................................OVRD
L2
This closes the skin air inlets, preventing rainwater from entering the avionics bay.
L1 PACK 1 ON......................................................................................................................... CHECK
PACK 2 ON......................................................................................................................... CHECK
L2
Air conditioning compensates the avionics cooling reduction when the skin air inlet is closed.
L1
If air conditioning not available:
L2
When the aircraft avionics are powered, closing the skin air inlet valve reduces avionics
cooling capability. With air conditioning not available, the reduced cooling is efficient for a
limited period of time, depending on the outside temperature.
L1
Aircraft should not remain powered more than:
‐ OAT ≤ 39 °C (102 °F): no limit
‐ 39 °C (102 °F ) < OAT ≤ 45 °C (113 °F): 3 h
‐ 45 °C (113 °F) < OAT: 30 min
After takeoff:
EXTRACT............................................................................................................................... AUTO
Evidence of ice accretion can be ice on the visual indicator (between the two cockpit windshields) or
on the windshield wipers.
CAUTION Extended flight in icing conditions with the slats extended should be avoided.
If wing anti ice is operative:
In CONF clean, 1, 2 or 3:
MIN SPEED: VLS + 10 kt
In CONF FULL:
MIN SPEED: VLS + 5 kt
The minimum speed takes into account ice accretion on non-heated structure.
If wing anti ice is not operative:
MIN SPEED: VLS + 10 kt/GREEN DOT
The minimum speed takes into account ice accretion on the entire airframe when anti-ice is
inoperative.
GENERAL
If the ground surfaces are not contaminated but the weather corresponds to icing conditions with
falling rain, slush or snow, anticipate a probable resulting runway/surfaces contamination.
There is a low probability of fluid ingestion by the engines which should anyway not degrade the
safety. The risk of ingestion is independent of the depth of the contaminant.
SPURIOUS ALERTS
The radio altimeter indication may fluctuate on contaminated surfaces and trigger auto callouts or
GPWS warnings. These alerts can be disregarded.
Note: Spurious GPWS warnings may trigger at the apron, during taxi, takeoff and landing runs.
The radio altimeter may also not compute valid data:
‐ On surfaces covered with snow, ice or deicing fluid, and/or
‐ Due to deicing fluid on the antenna.
Note: As a result, the "NAV RA 1(2)(1+2) FAULT" ECAM alert may be triggered. This alert may
disappear when the radio altimeter provides valid data again, when:
‐ The aircraft is on a non-contaminated surface, or
‐ The antenna is cleaned, or
‐ A period of time elapses after deicing, allowing the fluid covering the antenna to dry. The taxi
time between deicing spot and holding point may be sufficient.
In case of invalid LGCIU information, disregard the following alerts if triggered:
‐ ENG DUAL FAILURE
‐ ANTI-ICE CAPT(F/O) TAT FAULT
‐ L/G SHOCK ABSORBER FAULT

On ground, after:
‐ An unsuccessful manual engine start, or
‐ An unsuccessful automatic start not followed by an automatic dry crank,
the flight crew can perform a dry crank cycle on the affected engine to remove the fuel vapors.
Before dry crank:
ENG MASTER (affected engine)................................................................................ CHECK OFF
ENG MODE sel....................................................................................................... CHECK NORM
ENG MAN START pb-sw (affected engine)................................................................CHECK OFF
Dry crank:
ENG MODE sel................................................................................................................... CRANK
ENG MAN START pb-sw (affected engine)............................................................................... ON
Note: To clear fuel vapors, a 30 seconds dry crank cycle is the minimum required.
L2 Note: A manual start sequence can be initiated following a dry crank cycle (Refer to
PRO-NOR-SUP-ENG Manual Engine Start - Procedure). The flight crew should consider
the starter limitations (Refer to LIM-ENG Starter).

When the dry crank is completed:
ENG MAN START pb-sw (affected engine)............................................................................. OFF
ENG MODE sel..................................................................................................................... NORM
Except in some operational conditions (e.g. uphill slopes, slippery taxiways or high gross weights),
brake life and fuel savings may govern company policy on permitting aircraft to taxi with one engine
shut down.
Before applying this procedure, the flight crew should be aware of the following:
‐ Taxi with one engine shut down may require higher thrust than usual. Caution must therefore be
exercised to avoid excessive jet-blast and the risk of Foreign Object Damage (FOD)
‐ Slow or tight turns in the direction of the operating engine may not be possible at high gross
weights
‐ When one engine taxi is planned, pay particular attention to the fuel imbalance limitation for the
next take-off.
L1 X BLEED.......................................................................................................................................OPEN
L2 Open the cross bleed valve in order to supply both packs with engine 1.
L1
APPLY THE “AFTER START” NORMAL PROCEDURE, BUT:
‐ Keep the APU running and switch the APU BLEED to OFF.
L2 The APU generator provides power to the engine fire extinguisher, prevents electrical transients
and enables galley operation. Closing the APU BLEED prevents engine exhaust gases ingestion
in the air conditioning system.
L1 ‐ Delay the ECAM STATUS check and the wing anti-ice setting until all engines are started.
BEFORE TAKEOFF
ENGINE WARM-UP TIME BEFORE TAKEOFF (remaining engine)...............................CONSIDER
The second engine must be started soon enough before takeoff, in order to take into account the
engine start time and ensure the applicable engine warm-up time (Refer to PRO-NOR-SOP-09
After Start - ENG Mode Selector).
For ENG 2 start and when taxiing in a straight line:
Note: During the engine start, a slight jerk forward may occur if the brakes are applied
while the aircraft is moving.

VMO/MMO with the landing gear down is 235 kt/M .60. In the avionics compartment, on 188 VU, the
VMO-MMO switch must be set to the "L/G DOWN" position.
FLIGHT CONTROLS
Failure cases, which would normally lead to ALTN law, will degrade F/CTL laws down to DIRECT
law, if the landing gear is extended.
FAILURE OF BOTH ENGINES
When both engines are failed, to ease the handling of all the different ECAM procedures resulting
from this all engine flame out situation, it is recommended to use the ENG DUAL FAILURE QRH
procedure, and if time permits, to clear the ECAM.
Follow all the steps of the QRH procedure, except those that are modified by the procedure
below :
If APU is not available
‐ Attempt an APU start
‐ . If APU start is unsuccessful, a windmilling relight can be performed, as long as the speed
is above 260 kt (corresponding N2 above 18 %). In this case, increase the aircraft speed
and disregard VMO warning.
If APU is available : perform an assisted relight, when below FL 200.
‐ Flight controls are in direct laws. Use manual pitch trim as necessary (not indicated on PFD
if APU GEN not available).

Consider the increase in drag to determine the takeoff weight and fuel consumption.
CONF 1 + F is the recommended takeoff configuration.
Note: Takeoff with tail wind is not recommended.
Penalties on takeoff performance affect second segment gradient condition, final takeoff condition
and en-route conditions. The takeoff weight to be retained is the most limiting of these three
conditions.
The RTOW charts or the quick reference tables give the basic information for normal takeoff. To
simplify, a constant weight reduction is applied whatever the limitation. This weight reduction covers
the most critical case presented for flying over an obstacle.
Takeoff configuration 1+F 2 3
Weight reduction 22 % 18 % 18 %
METHOD
Use the RTOW chart or the quick-reference tables to define the maximum takeoff weight for the
conditions on the airport (temperature, pressure, wind, runway...), then apply the above weight
reduction.

Retain the lowest weight according to the most limiting condition (second segment or final takeoff).
Use the en route net flight path (Refer to PRO-NOR-SUP-LG_DN-PERF En Route Net Flight Path) to
check that in case of engine failure the aircraft can clear the terrain on the route by 1 000 ft (climbing)
or 2 000 ft (descending). If necessary, reduce the takeoff weight. Read the speeds corresponding to
this weight in the RTOW chart or in the quick reference tables.

CRUISE/DESCENT
The recommended cruise/descent speed is 230 kt/M 0.50.
The ceiling on one engine may be a limiting factor, and the choice of the route should reflect this
concern.
ENGINE FAILURE
In case of engine failure, the airplane will drift down to the ceiling shown (Refer to

During taxi in a straight line, the crew may notice aircraft veering tendency. This can be due to
external conditions (crosswind, slope....), or to a nosewheel steering offset.
A nosewheel steering offset is usually notified through consecutive crew reports. The NWS offset
value is determined regarding the necessary rudder trim input used to cancel the veering tendency.
Ident.: PRO-NOR-SUP-LG-A-00020946.0001001 / 17 MAR 17
When the NWS offset is within admissible limits, the flight crew can operate the aircraft as follows:
CAUTION A rudder trim reset must be performed before takeoff.
When the rudder trim adjustment is above the maintenance tolerance (±0.5 ° NWS
offset corresponding to ±3 ° rudder trim necessary to taxi straight), the flight crew
must systematically and accurately report the rudder trim value in the logbook.

Operators may occasionally experience high barometric settings above 1 050 hPa (31.0 inHg), due
to polar anticyclonic air mass conditions. These conditions mainly occur during winter in the upper
northern region.
The FCU, PFD, and CPCS are capable of operating at QNH/QFE up to 1 100 hPa (32.48 inHg).
The standby altimeter barometric setting is limited to 1 050 hPa.
The FMGS is currently limited to 1 050 hPa for DEST QNH entry on the MCDU PERF APPR page.
Due to engine limitations on the nacelle and thrust reverser, the flight envelope is limited to -1 000 ft
STD. Therefore, for departure and arrival, the flight crew must ensure that the aircraft remains within
its flight envelope.
CAUTION When the QNH exceeds 1 050 hPa, the aircraft standard altitude might be outside of
its flight envelope (below -1 000 ft STD), depending on the airfield elevation.
Operations at QNH above 1 050 hPa are only authorized within the flight envelope
of the aircraft.
EXAMPLE
‐ Airfield Elevation : 400 ft
‐ QNH : 1 058 hPa
‐ We approximately consider that 1 hPa = 27 ft
Determination of the flight level of this aircraft :
- (QNH - 1013.25) × 27 + Airfield Elevation = - (1058-1013.25) × 27+ 400 = -808 ft
In this example, during takeoff or landing the aircraft is within the flight envelope at an altitude of:
-808 ft STD > -1 000 ft STD.
Therefore with these conditions, operations at QNH = 1 058 hPa are authorized.
CONSEQUENCES
Ident.: PRO-NOR-SUP-MISC-C-00002102.0071001 / 23 JUN 15
Applicable to: ALL
ON CABIN PRESSURIZATION:
The CPCS normally uses the MCDU DEST QNH value to regulate cabin pressure during descent.
However, since DEST QNH entries on the MCDU are limited to 1 050 hPa, no DEST QNH
value should be entered during descent preparation, in order to avoid incorrect cabin pressure
regulation. As a backup, the CPCS will use the actual FCU barometric setting (when switching
from STD to Baro reference). In case of QFE use at arrival, the CPCS will erroneously use the
FCU-selected QFE as a QNH setting. To ensure correct re-pressurization of the cabin when QFE
is used, the Landing Field Elevation must be manually set to 0.
Note: As no DEST QNH is entered, the FMS initially assumes that Standard barometric
reference will be kept down to destination for descent flight path calculations.
When QNH is set on the FCU, the aircraft and cabin altitude will be higher than expected
(the aircraft altitude can be up to 2 000 ft higher than expected). This will lead to a
higher descent rate, with a possible "CAB PR LO DIFF PR" ECAM caution, and possible
opening of the cabin pressure safety valve.
ON THE FMS:
• Descent profile :
In the descent phase, when the crew switches from Standard to Barometric reference, the FMS
tries to catch up with an altitude increase induced by the baro reference change.
This altitude difference may be up to +2 000 ft, depending on the QNH value.
However, the FMS predictions and the VDEV remain unchanged. Consequently, an altitude
constraint, just below the Descent Transition Level, may still be predicted as “satisfied”, and
actually flown with a positive error. This altitude difference will gradually be zeroed, as the
aircraft catches up with the descent profile.
Note: As no DEST QNH value is entered on the MCDU PERF APPR page, the FMS is
unable to compute the Descent Transition Level. So, the “STD” baro reference on the
PFD will not flash when descending through the Transition Level.
The Standby Altitude Correction table below provides the baro setting that should be used on the
standby altimeter, and the correction that should be applied to the altimeter indications, for each
QNH between 1 050 hPa and 1 089 hPa:
Therefore, in this example, the indicated altitude on the standby altimeter should be 1 400 ft, in
order to fly at 2 000 ft QNH.

ADS-B OUT:
In some cases, the ATC ground stations can receive non valid data from the ADS-B function.
Therefore, the air traffic controller may ask the flight crew to stop the transmission of the ADS-B
data (e.g. the air traffic controller requests "STOP ADS-B TRANSMISSION" or "STOP ADS-B
ALTITUDE TRANSMISSION").
The flight crew cannot switch off the ADS-B automatic data transmission independently of the
XPDR.
Therefore, do not switch off the ATC transponder or the altitude reporting, in order to maintain
TCAS operations or Air Traffic Controller radar surveillance.
In such cases, the flight crew must refer to local Aeronautical Information Publication (AIP) to
apply alternate procedure when the air traffic controller requests to stop ADS-B transmission.
ADS-B IN:
The ATSAW enables the reception of ADS-B information from other aircraft in the vicinity.
Refer to the ATSAW section.
