Loss of Braking Procedure

· IF AUTOBRAKE IS SELECTED:

o BRAKE PEDALS … PRESS

· IF NO BRAKNG AVAILABLE:

o REV … MAX

o BRAKE PEDALS … RELEASE

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.

o A/SKID & N/W STRG … OFF

o BRAKE PEDALS … PRESS

Apply brakes with care since initial pedal force or displacement produces more braking action in alternate mode than in normal mode.

o 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:

o 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.

Windshear Recovery Maneuver
In some cases, barometric instruments (altimeter/VSI) can indicate a climb even though the aircraft is descending toward the terrain or the terrain is rising. In all cases it is critical to callout the trend (i.e. “Descending”, “Climbing”) as determined from the Radio Altimeter. The Barometric Altimeter and VSI are supporting instruments.

ECAM Procedure Notes
1. Unless conditions dictate otherwise, the captain should assign the flying duties to the F/O in accordance with the FOM. 2. Confirm correct thrust lever, engine master, engine fire pb, and/or IDG before performing ECAM action.
Procedures will be initiated on command of PF. No action will be taken (except cancelling the audio warning through MASTER WARN light until: · Flight path is stabilized · The airplane is at least 1,000’ AFE or obstacle clearance altitude.
If an emergency or abnormal procedure calls for LAND ASAP written in red or amber on ECAM, comply with FOM procedures and land at nearest suitable airport.
Primary Failure – Failure of an item of equipment or system causing loss of others in the airplane. On the ECAM their title is boxed: B SYS LO PR
Crew Coordination – When carrying out a procedure displayed on the ECAM, it is essential that both pilots are aware of the present display. Before any CLEAR action, crosscheck that no cyan message remains (except in case of no action feedback), that can be eliminated by a direct action. *** NO CLEAR ACTION BEFORE CROSS EXAMINATION ***
Should it be necessary to stop ECAM actions for any reason, the PF will state: “HOLD ECAM”. ECAM actions will continue when the PF states “CONTINUE ECAM”.
ECAM Procedures, STATUS information, and a check of PFD/ND are sufficient for handling the fault. However, when ECAM actions have been performed, and ECAM STATUS has been reviewed, if time permits, the crew may refer to the PHB procedure for supplementary information.
Common sense must be applied when using ECAM. For example, if the last remaining hydraulic system overheats, ECAM will indicate shutting the system OFF. For obvious reasons, don't.

ECAM Challenge-Response-Response Concept
ECAM Confirm Example: THR LEVER 1 ………………………………………………..……………..…………………………………IDLE
PF	PM
Fly the aircraft	Read aloud “THRUST LEVER 1 IDLE”
Guard thrust lever 2 and state “CONFIRMED” when ready for action	Select thrust lever 1
	Position thrust lever 1 to IDLE
	Repeat aloud “IDLE”
Non-normal checklist notes:
Standard: PM reads aloud the checklist challenge and response, selects the proper control, accomplishes the action, then repeats the response aloud.
Confirm: Accomplished the same as standard non-normal checklist items except the action will not be accomplished until the PF guards the non-affected control and states “Confirmed”.
Verify: Accomplished the same as standard non-normal checklist items except the response is repeated by the PF.

Surveillance Approach (ASR)

During an ASR approach

The controller will issue:

· Headings and relative position of the aircraft

· The published MDA

· Lost communications procedures (if IFR conditions are likely)

· Missed approach instructions
(if IFR conditions exist on final approach segment)

· Recommended altitudes on final upon request

· When to descend to the MDA

· The missed approach point

The pilot may request:

· Desired distances from start descent point

· Recommended altitudes on final approach

If the “Radar/ASR page is not available:

· Provide controller with aircraft approach category

· Request visibility minimums for approach

Procedure Notes

· Select appropriate approach or runway of intended landing from FMC database

· Provide controller with aircraft approach category
(if no ASR page) Note: A319/320 - C, A321 - D

· Request:

o Visibility minimums for approach (if no ASR page)

o Published MDA, missed approach instructions

o Desired distances from start descent point (10,5,3,2,1)

o Recommended altitudes on final approach

· When the published MDA is not a multiple of 100, round it up to the next 100’

· When established at initial approach altitude with ALT on FMA, set the MDA in FCU window

· 3 mi – GEAR DOWN, 2 mi – FLAPS 3, 1 mi – FLAPS FULL

· At top of descent point initialize descent utilizing V/S
(no greater than 1000 FPM below 1000 AGL … crosscheck G/S or Vertical Deviation if available)

· Once level at the MDA with ALT on FMA, set missed approach altitude in FCU window

· Autopilot and F/D OFF to descend below MDA
