FM GC

Fa i l u r e

A dual FMGC failure results in the loss of: autopilots, flight directors, a u t ot h r u s t , a n d maps. The ACARS can be accessed as normal. ECAM warnings and procedures are displayed for several affected systems, but the FMGC failures are not, themselves, indicated on ECAM. The FMGC reset procedure is in the QRH and involves pulling and resetting the specified circuit breakers; however, the reset of tripped circuit breakers is not recommended. Turn the FDs OFF to remove the red FD s ym b ol on th e P FD s and t o enable use of the blue, selected track indicator. Standby Nav tuning is required. The ILS DME is inoperative. Characteristic speeds are displayed normally on the PFD, so V LS Is d i s p l a y e d b u t V APP i s n o t . C a l c u l a t e i t manually with reference to the QRH (Ops Data) if necessary.

A raw data approach is required. TRK/FPA is recommended. Rose ILS for the ND FMGC FAILURE Should a sin gle FM GC failu re occur, the AP/ FD o n t h e a f f e c t e d s i d e w i l l disconnect. It is p o s s i b l e t o restore th e AP/ FD usin g the other FM GC. T h e A/ THR remains enga ged. Furth erm ore, flight plan information on the ND and MCDU can be recovered by using the FM switching to establish FMGC SINGLE MODE operation.Consider a FMGC reset as detailed in the QRH.Should a double FMGC failure occur, depending on the specific failu re, fli ght managem ent, fli ght guidance and flight envelop e computers ma y be lost. Th e AP/FD and A/THR will disconnect. It is possible t o restore AP/ FD and A/ THR provided a flight guidance computer is available. Without AP/FD and A/THR, deselect the FD pbs. Select TRK/FPA to allow the FP V and blue track index to be displa yed. Move the thrust levers to rec over manual thrust, select NAV B/UP on the MCDU MENU page to establish backup navigation and use the RMPs to tune the navigation aids. Refer t o the QRH for computer-reset considerations. If a reset is successful, procedures are availableto reload both FMGCs. FCOM 4.06.20 refers. Following a double FMGC failure, consider the RNP requirements
