2.1.4 Altitude Alert System


The altitude alert system is to be used to record cleared altitudes and not as a
reminder device for transition levels or reporting altitudes. When
climb/descent constraints are part of a departure/arrival clearance such
constraint altitude(s) should be set in the altitude alert system even though the
constraints are also entered in the FMGC.
During the approach phase of flight the altitude alert system is to be set as
follows:
(a) In the case of an instrument approach, the missed approach altitude
must be set on FCU at the commencement of the final approach.
(b) In the case of an unrestricted visual approach the altitude alert
system should be set to the appropriate missed approach altitude.
2.1.5 Flight Deck Automation Policy (FOM 8.3.2.4.c)

Automation shall be used to increase the operational efficiency of the flight.


Pilots are required to comply with the automation policy as follows:

(a) Monitoring of the Auto-Flight System (AFS) by:

- cross-checking the status of AP/FD and A/THR modes (armed and


selected) on Flight-mode annunciator
- observing the result of any target entry (on the AFS panel) on the related
data as displayed on the PFD or ND; and ,
- supervising the resulting AP/FD guidance and A/THR operation on PFD
and ND (e.g attitude, airspeed and airspeed trend, altitude, vertical
speed, heading etc.)
(b) The use of an appropriate level of automation for the task, including
manual flying

2.1.6 Task Sharing

Refer to Chapter 13 - Task Sharing.


As a general rule, during taxiing on the ground, all the selection on FCU should
be made by CM2. In flight, all the selection on FCU should be made by the PF
NORMAL PROCEDURES 2.1/P 7
OPERATING POLICY Rev 16
A320/321 STANDARD
OPERATING PROCEDURES 20 Dec 08

when AP is ON and by the PNF when AP is OFF. In flight, when below 10000 ft
AGL, all actions on MCDU should be made by PNF.

2.1.7 Flight Deck Discipline


At any moment of the flight, there must be one pilot who controls the aircraft. Any
transfer of control should be clearly understood between two pilots with one pilot
stating "I have control" and the o t h e r p i l o t relinquishing control with the
words "You have control".
During critical phases of flight such as takeoff, landing and flying at low
altitude, the PNF must always be prepared to take over control of the
aircraft with his/her feet lightly on the rudder pedals and one hand adjacent to
the side-stick.
When the aircraft is below 10000 ft AGL or in high workload situation, pilots are
required to comply with the sterile cockpit rule. Any conversation and activities
that are not essential should be avoided.
Two pilots qualified on type must be seated at the controls properly secured (lap,
crotch and shoulder restraints fastened, rudder pedals and seat adjusted) at all
time when the seat belt sign is ON and during flight in turbulence. At other time,
the lap strap need only be worn.
During the cruise phase, one pilot may vacate his/her seat for short periods. Lap,
crotch and shoulder restraints must be worn by the pilot in control when the other
pilot is not in his seat.
Under no circumstances will an unqualified person occupy a pilot’s seat.
All sun blinds, sun visors must not be used during taxi and criti cal phases of
fl i ght such a s takeoff and landing.
All screens must not be touched neither with fingers nor pens.
After flight, pilots must leave the Flight deck clean and in good order. All onboard
document and head sets must be in the place. All extraneous items such as
food, water bottles, newspapers, towel,... must be removed.

2.1.8 Communication
Headsets will be used in high work load situation and:
- From commencement of pushback/engine start until top of climb.
- From top of descent until the aircraft is parked and both engine are shut down.
When both pilots wear the headsets, interphone will be used for cockpit
communication except whilst the ground engineer is on the interphone.
The Radio Management Panels (RMPs) will normally be set up in the following
manner:
- VHF1 for Air Traffic Control.
- VHF2 for Company frequency (where available), ATIS information or 121.5.
NORMAL PROCEDURES 2.1/P 8
OPERATING POLICY Rev 17
A320/321 STANDARD
OPERATING PROCEDURES 15 Aug 09

Both pilots will maintain a listening watch on the ATC frequency in use
unless SELCAL is being used.

Pilots should normally use his onside RMP to tune any one of the VHF or HF
radios. If the SEL lights come on after tuning the radio, the pilot should turn
them off by selecting the appropriate radio system dedicated to his RMP.

2.1.9 Briefings

2.1.9.1 Flight Crew Briefing


Refer to FOM 8.3.1.12
Before each departure and arrival, a briefing should be made by PF to cover
both Normal and Abnormal/Emergency operations. The briefings should be
concise, structured (i.e. following the flight sequence), interactive and should
fulfill two important purposes:
- To provide both pilots with opportunity to cross check and to correct each
other.
- To share a common mental image of the flight.

During the briefings, relevant MCDU pages will be selected and checked to
make sure that FMS has been properly programmed.

To ensure FMS flight plan and SID/STAR/Approach charts reconciliation,


during briefing, PF uses MCDU F-PLN page and his ND in PLAN mode
whilst PNF uses appropriate SID/STAR/Approach charts.

2.1.9.2 Cabin Crew Briefing

Refer to FOM 8.3.1.13

2.1.10 Computerized Flight Plan (CFP)

Normally two copies of CFP, one for each pilot, will be provided for each flight.
The Commander’s CFP should be the Master one and must be signed by the
Commander. Pilots should record and amend ETA/ATA and FOB at each
waypoint on CPF

2.1.11 Takeoff and Landing Cards

Takeoff/Landing card shall be used to record the takeoff/landing data of the


flight and shall be retained in the flight envelope after flight.
Takeoff card shall be used to record:
- Takeoff airfield weather data (by PF)
- Additional information, such as unserviceability of NAV Aid, taxiway,…(by
PF)
- ATC clearance (by CM2)
- Takeoff data: TOW, Takeoff speeds, Flex temperature (by CM2)
NORMAL PROCEDURES 2.1/P 9
OPERATING POLICY Rev 17
A320/321 STANDARD
OPERATING PROCEDURES 15 Aug 09

Landing card shall be used to record:


- Landing airfield weather data (by PNF)
- Additional information, such as unserviceability of NAV Aid, taxiway,…(by
PF)
- Landing data: Landing weight, Landing flaps configuration, Autobrake mode,
Vapp, (by PF)

2.1.12 Cost Index

Depending on various operational factors, cost index will be established.


Refer to Flight Operation Notice for current cost index.

2.1.13 APU, Ground Power and Ground Air-conditioning Units

Before departure, if aircraft is powered by GPU and/or ACU, APU will be


started 15 minutes before push back or start-up.
On arrival, if APU is to be used at parking, APU will be started 2 minutes
before reaching parking position. In order not to forget starting the APU,
having APU system page displayed on SD (such as by pressing APU Master
SW p/b) is a good reminder.
Refer to appropriate Flight Operation Notice for list of airports with contracted
GPU/ACU service.

2.2.4 Departure ATC Clearance

Both pilots must be in the flight deck and ready for correct reception of
the ATC clearance.
The ATC clearance must be recorded adjacent to the route line on the
Master CFP by the CM1 and on the Takeoff Card by the CM2.
After ATC clearance has been received both pilots must be absolutely certain
that the clearance is understood before "read back" to ATC.

The review of the clearance must be conducted in the following


manner, assuming expected SID or departure tracking has already been
entered into the MCDU
(a) The C M 2 will read the clearance while the CM1 will observe
the F-PLN page to ensure compatibility with the actual ATC
clearance received;
(b) If the comparison between the received ATC clearance and the
data on the F- PLN page shows difference, the PF (or CM2 if the

the clearance received;
(c) The CM2 will set the initial cleared altitude, the initial HDG (if
required) on FCU and the ATC transponder code. These settings
are announced by the CM2 and to be cross-checked by the CM1.
2.2.5 Flap Selection for Takeoff

The standard flaps setting for takeoff is either Flaps 1 or Flaps 2.


Unless otherwise required by special operational procedure such as by MEL,
for flexible takeoff, regardless of runway pavement condition and elevation,
flaps configuration giving the highest flexible temperature must be selected.
If different flaps configurations give the same flexible temperatures, the flaps
configuration associated with the lowest takeoff speeds will be used.
However for fuel saving purpose, subject to Commander’s discretion, Flaps1
can be selected in case of long runway, light weight, etc…

2.2.6 Takeoff Data


Takeoff performance should be calculated in accordance with r e l e v a n t
R T O W c h a r t s , FCOM 2.02 or FCOM 2.04.

2.7.1 General
In preparation for any instrument approach, the briefing requirements as set out
in Chapter 2.6.1.4. The Standard Callouts, including the Out of Tolerance
Calls, as set out in FCOM 3.03.90 apply.
Whenever weather conditions are such that an instrument approach is
necessary the autopilot(s) should be engaged to fly the approach.

2.7.2 Autoland
2.7.2.1 General
Autoland is permitted:
- In CAT I or better weather condition, on following runways with a CAT I ILS:
• Narita: RJAA 16L, RJAA 34L/R
• Fukuoka: RJFF 16/34
• Singapore: WSSS 02C/20R
• Hongkong: VHHH 25L/R
• Hanoi: VVNB 11L/R
• Hochiminh: VVTS 25L/R
- On all runways with a published CAT II or CAT III ILS regardless of locality.
The above is subject to NOTAMs or any other published restrictions on the use
of a particular CAT I ILS for autoland.
Airports with a CAT I ILS installed that are outside the above geographic
areas and are approved for autoland are included in the Route Manual.
Under CAT I or lower minima conditions ILS critical areas are restricted, by
ATC, from aircraft and vehicle operation to ensure that there is no disturbance to
the localizer and/or glideslope signal which may be reflected in adverse
autopilot inputs. Pilots are cautioned to be vigilant for localizer and/or
glideslope disturbances when conducting an autoland in visual conditions as
ATC protection of ILS critical areas is not assured. Pilots should be
prepared to immediately disconnect the autopilot and take appropriate action
should unsatisfactory autoland performance occur.

2.7.2.2 Aircraft Autoland Performance Monitoring


Following each satisfactory autoland an appropriate entry should be made in
the Technical Log whilst any unsatisfactory autoland must be entered as a
defect.
An Autoland Report Form should also be completed.
NORMAL PROCEDURES 2.7/P 2
APPROACH AND LANDING Rev 17
A320/321 STANDARD
OPERATING PROCEDURES 15 Aug 09

For an autoland to be classified as satisfactory it should meet the


following criteria:

(a) All autopilot/flight director annunciation and radio altitude


callouts (if installed) operate normally;
(b) Indicated airspeed and heading permit normal flare
and landing with autothrust speed deviation not more
than +/- 5 Kt from Vapp;
(c) The aircraft position and movement is such that the
cockpit is within the lateral limits of the extended
centerline;
(d) The Autoland warning is not flashing amber at 200 FT RA;
(e) After passing 200 FT there is no unusual movement
of control surfaces or excessive attitude deviations;
(f) Touchdown occurs within the range 120 m past the
runway threshold to 800 m past the runway threshold;
(g) The longitudinal axis of the aircraft is not more than 8 m
left or right of runway centerline.
If during an autoland approach autopilot performance is outside
the above tolerances a go-around should be conducted unless
the conditions are such that the autopilot can be disengaged
and a manual landing safely accomplished.
2.7.2.3 Maintenance Procedures
In the event of an unsatisfactory entry in the DEFECTS field of the
Technical Log and rectification prior to the next flight is not carried out,
or an MEL is raised for a component which impacts upon autoland
capability, the applicable MEL will reflect that autoland is not permitted. A
red MEL label will be installed adjacent to the autopilot engagement
switches.
Following rectification of defects affecting autoland the applicable MEL
will be amended to indicate that for the MEL to be removed the
aircraft must complete a satisfactory autoland. An entry ‘Autoland
satisfactory – remove MEL #’ must be made in the DEFECTS field of
the Technical Log.

2.7.2.4 Autoland Limitation

- Maximum wind limit is as follows:


o Maximum headwind component, including gusts: 30 Kt
o Maximum tailwind component, including gusts: 10 Kt

- Airport elevation is below 5750 Ft (A321) or 2500 Ft (A320)
- Actual landing weight is at or below MLW

2.7.3 CAT I ILS Approach


The aircraft should be configured for the ILS approach in accordance
with the Normal Procedures detailed in F C O M 3 . 0 3 . 1 8 .
The PNF must primarily monitor flight instruments throughout the
approach and provide the appropriate standard calls

The PF should call “Visual” any time visual reference is established


above the minimum.

At the “Minimum” call, the PF should assess outside conditions and


declare either “Continue” or “Go-around. Flaps” as the case may
be.

The “Continue” call at the minimum by the PF must be based upon


the observation of the approach lights, runway lights, runway or
touchdown zone lights and that the approach can be continued in
visual conditions on the normal approach profile to a safe landing.

After the “Continue” call, by the PF the PNF MUST maintain


concentration on the flight instruments in order to monitor the flight
parameters for the remainder of the approach.

If the PF calls “Go-around. Flaps” at the minimum, or if visual


contact is lost after the minimum, an immediate go-around in
accordance with the Normal Procedures detailed in the A320/321
Flight Crew Operating Manual must be conducted.

2.7.4 CAT II/III ILS Approach

2.7.4.1 General

Approaches where the reported minima are less than CAT I


weather conditions must normally be conducted as a multiple
autopilot approach, with the PIC as the PF, followed by an
autoland or autopilot go-around. If visual contact is established
above the CAT I minima the autopilot may be disengaged for the
landing (normally, no later than 80 FT).
However, it is recommended that an autoland be conducted under
these circumstances.
CAT II/III approach is not allowed in stormy weather condition.

2.7.4.2 ATC Low Visibility Procedures

When RVR falls below 550 m or when the RVR/ceiling falls below 800
m/200Ft, or when the weather is expected to deteriorate rapidly at airports
with CAT II/III capability, “Low Visibility Procedures” are introduced.
Under these procedures ILS sensitive areas are protected and ILS
separation standards are increased to 8 -10 NM. If the pre-departure
forecast indicates that low visibility procedures may be in operation,
additional fuel should be considered to provide for the expected delays
due to increased traffic congestion.
On first contact with the tower, pilot should advise ATC that the aircraft is
conducting a CAT II/III approach (as applicable). Pilot should be advised
either through the ATIS or ATC that “Low Visibility Procedures” are in
operation. If it is not the case, pilot should request clearance for CAT II/III
approach (as applicable).
Priority is given to aircraft with CAT II/III capability.

2.7.4.3 Exterior Lights

Exterior lights should be used with caution in conditions of low visibility


due to glare that can cause a reduction in forward visibility.
Therefore taxi, takeoff, landing and strobe lights will not be used in CAT
II/III approaches.
Taxi, takeoff, landing and strobe lights should normally be turned off at
landing extension on approach. Taxi light should be turned on again after
aircraft has cleared the runway.

2.7.4.4 Seat Position

Pilots will ensure proper seats position by using the eye-position indicating
devices.

2.7.4.5 Braking

A CAT II/III approach is not applicable if the braking effectiveness of the


runway is reported as being worse than Medium.
CAT II/III approach is not permitted in contaminated runway condition.

- For CAT II approach, autobrake should be used in LO mode (on dry


runway) or MED mode (on wet runway).
- For CAT III approach, autobrake should be used in MED mode.

2.7.4.6 Runway Visual Range (RVR)

For CAT II/III operations RVR is measured at 03 positions along the


runway:
- Touchdown zone (TDZ)
- Mid point (MID)
- Roll out or Stop end (STP).
Only the TDZ RVR is normally transmitted unless either or both the other
values are less than the TDZ and less than 800 m.

Note: In France, RVR minima are published for both TDZ and MID point.
Both RVR must be satisfactory to commence approach.

The minimum RVR for CAT II/III approach is as follows:

POSITION RVR
TDZ 300 M
CAT II MID POINT 200 M
STOP END ADVISORY
CAT III A TDZ 200 M
MID POINT 200 M
STOP END ADVISORY or 200 M if MID POINT not available

2.7.4.7 Pilot Incapacitation

If a pilot becomes incapacitated during a CAT II/III approach, it is


preferable for the other pilot to divert to an alternate airport with better
weather condition.

2.7.4.8 Airport Facility

For CAT II/III approach, HIALS, THRESHOLD lights, HIRLS, CL, TDZ and
continuous RVR information are required.

2.7.4.9.1 Approach Preparation


In addition to items normally covered by approach briefing for any IFR
arrival, CAT II/III checklist should also be reviewed to ensure system
status and to review procedures relating to possible autoflight system
down grading or malfunctions.
CAT II/III minimum should be set in the DH field of the MCDU PERF
APPR page. In case of CAT III without DH, pilot should enter “NO” in the
DH field.
All CAT II/III ILS approaches are stabilized approaches. The aircraft
should be in the landing configuration and at approach speed by the FAF.
2.7.4.9.2 Task Sharing
Refer to Chapter 13.1.16 – CAT II ILS Approach- Task Sharing.
For all CAT II/III approaches, CM1 is PF and CM2 is PNF.
The workload is distributed in such a way that the PF primary tasks are
supervising and decision making and the PNF primary task is monitoring
operation of the automatic system.

As a general rules, PF-CM1 duties are:


- Controlling the thrust throughout the approach, landing, go-around
and rollout
- Making all FCU selections (if any)
- Taking manual control in the event of AP disconnection
- Monitoring flight instruments (when above 350ft AGL) then scanning
outside for visual references (except in CAT III approach with no DH)
- Making decision to land or to go-around
PNF-CM2 duties are:
- Monitoring flight instruments (head-down) throughout approach, go-
around or landing until rollout is completed
- Providing calls for any deviation or failure warning
- Calling barometric heights as required and monitoring auto call-out or
calling radio heights including "100 ABOVE"
- Monitoring FMA and calling mode changes as required.
2.7.4.9.3 Visual Reference
The “Continue” call at the minimum by the PIC must be based upon the
observation of the following:
CAT II
A segment of at least three (3) consecutive lights being the centreline of
the approach lights, or touchdown zone lights, or runway centre-line lights,
or runway edge lights, or a combination of these is attained and can be
maintained. This visual reference must include a lateral element of the
ground pattern, i.e. an approach lighting crossbar or the landing threshold,
or a barrette of the touchdown zone lighting.
CAT III A
A segment of at least three (3) consecutive lights being the touchdown
zone lights, or runway centre-line lights, or runway edge lights, or a
combination of these is attained and can be maintained.

OPERATING PROCEDURES 15 Aug 09

CAT III B with DH


At least one centre-line light is attained and can be maintained.

CAT III B without DH


There is no requirement for visual contact with the runway prior to touchdown.
If visual contact is lost after the minimum or if touch down cannot be safely
accomplished in the touch down zone, go-around should be conducted in
accordance with the Normal Procedures detailed in the A320/321 FCOM 3.

Deceleration of the aircraft should be monitored to ensure that the aircraft's


speed is reduced to less than 100 Kt prior to reaching the point on the runway
where the runway centreline lights change to alternating red and white (900 m
from the end of the runway).
The aircraft must be at taxi speed prior to reaching the point where the runway
centreline lights change to continuous red (300 m from the end of the runway).
On reaching this point, CM2 should call “Red Lights”.
No attempt should be made to exit the runway other than at specifically
illuminated turn off points.
CM2 should report “Runway vacated” only when the aircraft is clear of the CAT
II/III sensitive area. Pilots should exercise care when taxiing under conditions
of significantly reduced visibility to ensure that all ATC instructions regarding
holding point(s), runway crossings etc, are adhered to. If there is any doubt
about the situation, request ATC radar or marshalling assistance.

2.7.4.9.4 Required Aircraft Equipment

Refer to QRH 5.04 for required equipments for Cat II and CAT III
approaches.

2.7.4.9.5 Failures and Associated Procedures

The anomalies and failures can be classified into two groups:


- Failures leading to a downgrading of capability as displayed on FMA and
ECAM with an associated specific audio warning (triple click).
- Failures that do not trigger a downgrading of capability but are signaled by
other effects (flag, ECAM warning, amber caution and associated audio
warnings).
It should be noted that some failures might trigger ECAM warnings, cautions
and a downgrading of capability.
After any failure or ECAM warning during approach, before deciding to
continue or to downgrade the planned approach, crew must check the FMA for
landing capability.

Above 1000 Ft AGL:


- Downgrading from CAT III to CAT II is permitted only if:

2.7.5 Non Precision Approach

2.7.5.1 Straight-in Non Precision Approach


The aircraft should be configured for the non-precision approach in
accordance with the Normal Procedures detailed in FCOM 3.03.19

For straight-in approach, pilot must use FPV as the flying


reference. The FPV must be selected during Initial approach.
For non-precision approach other than RNAV approach, PF must
have his ND in ROSE VOR or ROSE ILS mode with raw data.
The PNF may have his ND in ARC or ROSE NAV mode in case of:
- High navigation accuracy or
- Low navigation accuracy with satisfactory navigation
accuracy check using raw data.
The PNF must primarily monitor flight instruments throughout the
approach and provide the appropriate standard calls.
The PF must primarily monitor flight instruments until the “1,000
feet” call. After this call the PF should expand instrument scan
to include outside visual cues.

The PF should call “Visual” any time visual reference is


established above the minimum.
At the “Minimum” call, the PF should assess outside conditions
and declare either “Continue” or “Go-around. Flaps” as the case
may be.

The “Continue” call at the minimum by the PF must be based


upon the observation of the approach lights, runway lights,
runway or touchdown zone lights and that the approach can be
continued in visual conditions on the normal approach profile to a
safe landing.

After the “Continue” call, by the PF the PNF MUST maintain


concentration on the flight instruments in order to monitor the flight
parameters for the remainder of the approach.
If the PF calls “Go-around. Flaps” at the minimum, or if visual
contact is lost after the minimum, an immediate go-around in
accordance with the Normal Procedures detailed in the A320/321
Flight Crew Operating Manual must be conducted.

2.7.5.2 Circling Approach

The aircraft should be configured for the circling approach in


accordance with the procedures detailed in F C O M 3 . 0 3 . 1 9

During a circling approach the PNF must primarily monitor the flight
instruments and alert the PF to any out of tolerance maneuvering.

2.7.6 Stabilized Final Approach

All flights must be stabilized by 1000 ft above airport elevation in


instrument meteorological condition (IMC) and 500 ft above airport
elevation in visual meteorological condition (VMC).An approach is
stabilized when all of the following criteria are met
(a) The aircraft is on the correct flight
path;
(b) Only small changes of heading/pitch are required to
maintain the correct flight path;
(c) The aircraft speed is not more than Vapp + 10 Kt IAS and not
less than Vapp – 5 Kt;
(d) The aircraft is in the correct landing
configuration;
(e) Rate of descent is no greater than 1,000 feet per minute
(if an approach requires a rate of descent greater than
1000 feet per minute a special briefing should be conducted);
(f) Power setting is appropriate for the aircraft
configuration;
(g) All briefings and checklists have been completed.
Note: An approach that becomes unstabilized below 1000 feet above
airport elevation in IMC or below 500 feet above airport elevation in
VMC requires an immediate go-around.
The above criteria should be maintained through the rest of the
approach for it to be considered a stabilized approach. If the above
criteria cannot be established and maintained at and below 500 FT
above airport elevation an immediate go-around should be initiated.
At 400 FT above airport elevation for all visual approaches the aircraft
should be positioned so that the flight deck is within, and tracking so as to
remain within, the lateral confines of the runway’s extended centre-line
As the aircraft crosses the threshold it should
be:
(a) Stabilized on target airspeed to within 10 Kt until arresting
descent rate at flare;
NORMAL PROCEDURES 2.7/P 13
APPROACH AND LANDING Rev 17

OPERATING PROCEDURES 15 Aug 09

(b) On a stabilized flight path using normal


maneuvering;
(c) Positioned to make a normal landing in the touch down
zone.
If the above criteria cannot be maintained a go-around should be initiated.

2.7.7 Mandatory Missed Approach (Refer to FOM 8.3.1.6)


On all instrument approaches execute an immediate missed approach if any of
the following occurs:

(a) A navigation radio aid or flight instrument failure occurs that


affects the ability to safely complete the approach in instrument
conditions;
(b) When on ILS final approach in IMC and either the localizer
and/or glideslope indicator show full deflection;
(c) When the navigation instruments show significant disagreement
and visual contact with the runway has not been established;
(d) On a radar approach radio communication is lost;
(e) On reaching the published operating minimum the required
visual contact is not established.
(f) If the required visual reference is lost after the minimum

3.1.1 Introduction
Refer A320/321 Flight Crew Operating Manual, Section 3.02.00,
Introduction, for ECAM and QRH procedures.
Pilots must be sufficiently familiar with the QRH to ensure that they can, if
necessary, expeditiously and accurately locate any required non-normal
procedure.
Selection of transponder codes for emergency situations (7700) and the
making of emergency radio calls to ATC is a normal crew function and
should be actioned by crew members in appropriate circumstances.
In the conduct of abnormal/emergency procedures the following actions
must be cross-checked by a dual response prior to actuation:
(a) Thrust lever reduction of a failed engine;
(b) Engine master switch;
(c) Fire push button switch;
(d) IDG disconnect switch.
(e) ADIRS selectors switch
3.1.2 Acceleration Height
A standard acceleration height (AGL) of 1,500 FT should be used or such
height as published in the pre-computed takeoff charts whichever is the
higher, in the event of an engine failure on takeoff.
3.1.3 Engine Shutdown Procedure

3.1.4 Flight Path Monitoring During Non-Normal Procedures
Refer to FCOM 3.02.01 P24
3.1.5 Flight with an Engine Inoperative
Following an engine shutdown in flight it is the Commander's responsibility
to decide whether:
(a) The flight should be continued to destination;
(b) The flight should return to the departure airport; or
(c) A landing should be made at the nearest suitable airport.
Factors that need to be considered for flight with an inoperative engine
include the following:
3.1/P2
ABNORMAL PROCEDURES
Rev 11
A320/321 STANDARD
OPERATING PROCEDURES 19 Dec 06

(a) Nature of the malfunction which preceded the engine shutdown


and any further mechanical difficulties which may arise from the
shutdown;
(b) Availability of the inoperative engine for use;
(c) Altitude, aircraft weight and useable fuel at the time of engine
shutdown;
(d) Distance to be flown;
(e) Relative characteristics of suitable airports available for landing;
(f) Weather conditions en route and at suitable airports available for
landing;
(g) Air traffic congestion;
(h) Type of terrain; and
(i) Familiarity of pilot with airport to be used.
It is expected that the Commander will, at all times, operate the aircraft with
full regard to safety. No undue emphasis should be placed on the
continuation of a flight to the destination unless the Commander is satisfied
that this is a desirable and safe course of action.
Following an engine shutdown a two engine aircraft should normally
proceed to the nearest suitable airport, although there is no objection to the
aircraft proceeding to the destination provided the increased flying time is
not significant.
When runway approach slope guidance is not available the aircraft should
carry out a normal circuit unless circumstances or terrain make this
unadvisable.

3.1.6 Emergency Airports .


Pilots must maintain an adequate knowledge of airports, suitable for an
emergency landing, which are on, or adjacent to, the aircraft's flight path.
An emergency airport is an airport with an available runway length
sufficient to meet the applicable aircraft's performance requirements
(scheduled landing distance) and where it is expected that a safe landing
can be made. An emergency airport may be selected from Jeppesen
Airway Manual or the Vietnam domestic airport airway manual if it is
necessary for a emergency or forced landing to be carried out for safety
and/or the preservation of life.
3.1.7 Depressurisation
3.1.7.1 General
In the event of a depressurisation the requirement for the donning of
oxygen masks is immediate. The following table of Times of Useful
Consciousness are representative of a person in normal health in a seating
position.

ALTITUDE (FT) TIME


22,000 5 minutes
25,000 2 minutes
28,000 1 minute
30,000 45 seconds
35,000 30 seconds
40,000 18 seconds

The above times can be reduced by approximately 50% with moderate


activity and by approximately 33% in a rapid depressurization. If oxygen is
applied expeditiously the debilitating effects of oxygen deprivation are
removed within 20 seconds.
3.1.7.2 Emergency Descent Procedures
If an emergency descent is required the procedures as detailed in the
Flight Crew Operating Manual should be followed. Following completion of
the applicable non-normal procedure(s), the First Officer should select
transponder code 7700 and advise ATC through the use of a PAN call.
The Commander should make the following PA announcement:
“COCKPIT SPEAKING, CABIN CREW SEATED AND FASTENED”
Flight deck crews must be aware of the height of the terrain in the vicinity of
the descent and must limit the descent to the MSA (or grid MORA) for the
sector or 10,000 FT whichever is the higher.
3.1/P4
ABNORMAL PROCEDURES
Rev 11
A320/321 STANDARD
OPERATING PROCEDURES 19 Dec 06

When the aircraft attains the required level off altitude, the Commander
should make a PA announcement indicating that the use of oxygen masks
is no longer required. Based upon this PA announcement the Purser shall
enter the flight deck to report on the condition of passengers and cabin
crew.
The flight deck crew should assess the situation with respect to:
(a) The state of any structural damage (if required);
(b) Distance to and weather conditions at suitable diversion airport(s);
(c) Any intervening terrain between the aircraft’s position and suitable
diversion airport(s); and
(d) Diversion fuel requirements.
3.1.8 Cabin Fire Procedures
In the case of a fire in the cabin, a cabin crew member will contact the flight
deck either personally or via the interphone providing the following
information:
(a) What is actually on fire and its location;
(b) If the fire is in the galley area, request that galley power be
removed;
(c) The amount and the color of the smoke and the effect it is having
on the passengers; and
(d) The ferocity of the fire and whether it can be contained.
The Purser should keep the Commander updated as to the progress in
containing the fire and if at any time the situation appears out of control an
immediate face to face report will be made.
In this case a landing at the nearest adequate airport should be
considered.
3.1.9 Interception Procedures
ICAO standard procedures are to be followed in the event of in-flight
interception. These procedures, including the State variations are detailed
in the Jeppesen Airway Manual together with an appropriate NOTAM for
any variations from standard procedures.
In the event of an in-flight interception proceed as follows;
(a) Do not perform any maneuver that may be construed as hostile.
Maintain straight and level flight;
(b) Select transponder to 7700 and where possible notify the
appropriate ATC centre;
3.1/P5
ABNORMAL PROCEDURES
Rev 11
A320/321 STANDARD
OPERATING PROCEDURES 19 Dec 06

(c) Attempt to establish communication with the interceptor or with the


appropriate intercept control unit by making a general call on 121.5
MHZ giving the identity and position of the aircraft and the nature of
the flight; and
(d) Follow instructions from intercepting aircraft responding as
appropriate to instructions.
If any instructions received by radio from any source conflict with those
given by the intercepting aircraft request immediate clarification whilst
complying with the instructions given by the intercepting aircraft.
3.1.10 Ground Proximity Warning System (GPWS) or Enhanced Ground
Proximity Warning System (EGPWS) – As Installed
(FOM 8.3.5-FCOM vol 3- 3.02.34 -3.04.34 and QRH 1.14)
3.1.0.1 General
It is the responsibility of the flight crew to maintain horizontal and vertical
situational awareness at all times. The Ground Proximity Warning System
(GPWS/EGPWS) is designed to alert pilots that the aircraft position in
relation to the terrain is abnormal and, if not corrected, could result in a
controlled flight into terrain (CFIT).
3.1.10.2 Procedure
Procedures associated with GPWS/EGPWS activation are described in
the applicable FCOM/OM – Emergency/Non-Normal Section and the QRH
and can be summarised as follows:
(a) Ideally, preventative actions must be taken before a GPWS/EGPWS
warning;
(b) The response by the pilot flying must be immediate with an aggressive
pull-up manoeuvre utilising the maximum performance of the aircraft;
(c) The pilot not flying must monitor and call the radio altitude and its trend
throughout the terrain avoidance manoeuvre;
(d) The pull-up manoeuvre must be continued at maximum climb
performance of the aircraft until the warning has ceased, as indicted by
a steadily increasing radio altimeter reading.
The GPWS/EGPWS may not be deactivated (by pulling the circuit breaker
or use of the relevant switch) except when specified by approved
procedures.
Any GPWS/EGPWS activation must be subject to a incident report
forwarded to the Flight Operations Department. Where an activation
indicates a possible technical malfunction of the system an appropriate
entry should be made in the Technical Log.

All company aircraft must be equipped with TCAS II version 7.0( ACAS II)
The Traffic and Collision Avoidance System is described in the applicable
FCOM/OM Systems Volume.
Procedures associated with TCAS activation are described in the
applicable FCOM, QRH – Emergency/abnormal Section and the QRH.
3.1.11.2 Conflicting Information between Air Traffic Control Instructions and a
TCAS Alert
As Air Traffic Control may not know when the TCAS system issues RA’s it
is possible for ATC to unknowingly issue instructions that are contrary to
the TCAS RA indications.
Safe vertical separation may be lost during TCAS coordination when one
aircraft manoeuvres in the opposite vertical direction to that indicated by
TCAS and the other aircraft manoeuvres as indicated by TCAS.
DURING A TCAS RA DO NOT MANOEUVRE CONTRARY TO THE RA
INDICATIONS BASED SOLEY ON ATC INSTRUCTIONS.
3.1.12 Minimum Fuel Declaration
When a minimum fuel quantity of 1200 kgs for A320 and 1300 kgs for A321
( which is the equivalent of a minimum of 30 minutes ) is expected upon
crossing the threshold of the nearest suitable airport , the comander must
declare an emergency using the appropriate terminology and file a report
after landing.

6.1 MASS AND BALANCE

6.1.1 General
Aircraft mass and balance information including Dry Operating Weight(s)
and Dry Operating Indices for each particular A320/321 aircraft is included
in the Weight and Balance Manual in the aircraft’s library.
Refer Flight Operations Manual, Chapter 8.1.8 for additional information on
mass and balance including details standard weights, last minute changes
(LMC), etc.
6.1.2 Departure Control System (D.C.S)
Aside from the Company standard format DCS generated load and balance
sheet there are also a number of different formats of Departure Control
Systems in use by ground handling companies. These systems are self
evident in the presentation of the weight and balance data necessary for
the calculation of takeoff performance.
6.1.3 Manual Load Sheet
The Company manual load sheet is based upon the standard IATA load
sheet form.
The top section of the load sheet form must be completed to determine the
most limiting weight (e.g. takeoff weight, zero fuel weight or landing weight)
for the particular operation and to determine the allowed traffic load.
Traffic load should be entered, both passengers and cargo, and the
appropriate fields completed.
A sample load sheet follows on the next page.

6.1.4 Manual Balance Chart


The procedure for completion of the manual balance chart is as follows:
(a) Enter the Dry Operating Index for the particular aircraft in the field
“DRY OPERATING INDEX” and plot the value on the DRY
OPERATING INDEX scale;
(b) Enter the number of passengers in the fields provided for FWD
CABIN, MID CABIN and AFT CABIN;
(c) Enter the weight of baggage and cargo in the fields provided for
FWD HOLD (1), AFT HOLD (3 AND 4) and BULK (5);
(d) Draw a line vertically downward from the DRY OPERATING INDEX
to the alignment bar for the first field with entered data (e.g. either
passenger or baggage and cargo);
(e) On interception of the alignment bar move either left or right, as
indicated by the arrows, the number of increments applicable to the
particular alignment field;
(f) Continue this process for all alignment bars with entered data;
(g) After all compartment loads have been accounted for draw a line
vertically downward through the field FUEL ADJUSTMENT INDEX
into the balance chart envelope and plot the Zero Fuel Weight
position in the envelope opposite the value for the actual Zero Fuel
Weight. If this position is within the envelope completion of the
balance chart can be continued. If this position is outside the
envelope, payload must be re-located to ensure that the Zero Fuel
Weight falls within acceptable balance limits. Ensure that the correct
aft Zero Fuel Weight check (ZERO FUEL CHECK “A” or ZERO
FUEL WEIGHT “B” – subject to the actual takeoff fuel weight) is
used;
(h) Circle the fuel INDEX in the FUEL INDEX TABLE that is closest to
the actual takeoff fuel weight and apply this index (either as a plus
or minus, to the FUEL ADJUSTMENT INDEX determined under g)
above;
(i) Draw a line vertically downward from the field FUEL ADJUSTMENT
INDEX adjusted as necessary for the takeoff fuel into the balance
chart envelope and plot the Takeoff Weight position in the envelope
opposite the value for the actual Takeoff Weight. Ensure this
position is within envelope limits;

10.1.3 Portable Oxygen


10.1.3.1 General
Portable oxygen bottles are installed with oxygen masks that include a
moulded face-piece, re-breather bag and elastic restraining strap that are
individually wrapped for hygienic reasons. A supply tube is also provided.
Portable oxygen bottles can be used by passengers with breathing
difficulties or by cabin crew as a walk around bottle following a
depressurisation and an emergency descent.
Portable oxygen bottles are not suitable for use during the fighting of an in-
flight fire because the masks have holes in the sides that allow cabin air to
enter the mask.
The portable oxygen cylinder is fitted with a HI outlet and a LO outlet, a
quantity/contents gauge and a yellow ON-OFF control knob.
The following table details flow rate and duration based upon oxygen bottle
100% full:

Flow Rate (litres/min) Duration (minutes)


Bottle Size
HI LO HI LO
310 litre (passenger) 4 2 77 155
120 litre (crew) 4 2 30 60

10.1.3.2 Pre-Flight Check


During the pre-flight inspection of oxygen bottles the following should be
observed:
(a) The bottle quantity/contents gauge indicates 3/4 full or 1500 psi;
(b) The bottle is secured in its brackets;
(c) The dust caps are in position;
(d) There is no oil or grease on the fittings;
(e) There is a mask taped to each bottle; and
(f) There is a serviceable shoulder strap.

(b) Turn yellow control knob ON;
Note: With the yellow control knob ON, inserting the mask
connector into one of the two outlets starts the oxygen flowing.
Removal of the mask connector stops the oxygen flow.
(c) After using oxygen turn yellow control knob OFF (finger tight) and
remove the mask connector.

10.1.3.4 Precautions When Using Oxygen


When using a portable oxygen bottle the following precautions should be
taken:
(a) As oxygen promotes combustion there is to be no smoking within a
3 metres radius of the passenger using oxygen (approximately 3
passenger rows either side);
(b) Ensure that the oxygen bottle fittings are free from any oil or grease
as such contaminants can cause combustion;
(c) Turn the ON/OFF valve slowly and do not over tighten when
closing;
(d) Before putting on the mask wipe away any heavy lipstick or grease
from the mouth area;
(e) Ensure tubing is not kinked and that oxygen is flowing (filling of re-
breather bag) before fitting the mask with an efficient seal to the
passenger's face. Some oxygen masks are fitted with a ‘green
indicator flow valve’. When oxygen is flowing to the mask, the
indicator (normally clear or sometimes red) will turn green;
(f) If it is necessary to use a portable oxygen mask on an infant,
reverse the mask (nose part under the chin) and hold gently
against the face. The re-breather bag should be held vertically to
ensure the free flow of oxygen;
(g) Oxygen therapy is rarely detrimental to a patient and its value far
outweighs the very rare problems caused by its use. The
passenger will normally be able to advise the position in which
he/she breathes easiest. If required and available, cabin crew
should seek assistance from a medically qualified passenger(s);
and
(h) When the pressure gauge indicates less than 200 psi the valve
should be turned off and the bottle considered empty.

10.1.4 Water (H2O) Fire Extinguisher


10.1.4.1 General
Water (H2O) extinguishers are designed for extinguishing smouldering
fabric or waste fires and should NEVER be used on a fire originating from
an electrical source. Accordingly, water (H2O) extinguishers should never
be used for a fire in the galley area.
10.1.4.2 Pre-Flight Check
(a) Ensure that the extinguisher is secured in its brackets;
(b) The lock-wire seal is intact; and
(c) That the CO2 cartridge is visible though the hole in the handgrip.
Note: If the locking wire is broken unscrew the handgrip by turning it anti-
clockwise and check the cartridge for puncture.
10.1.4.3 Operation
(a) Remove from bracket;
(b) Hold extinguisher upright;
(c) Turn handle clockwise rapidly to the limit of its travel, breaking the
locking wire; and
(d) Holding the extinguisher upright aim at the base of the fire and
depress the trigger with the thumb.
10.1.4.4 Precautions
(a) Do not discharge directly at a person;
(b) Do not use to fight a fire in the flight deck;
(c) Do not drink contents in a survival situation.

10.1.5 HALON Fire Extinguisher (Type 1)


10.1.5.1 General
This type of fire extinguisher is designed for extinguishing electrical and
flammable liquid fires and is suitable for ALL types of fires in an aircraft.
The extinguishing agent is a vaporising liquid that interrupts the chemical
reaction taking place in the flames thereby extinguishing the fire. It is a
colourless, non-corrosive liquefied gas that can give off an acrid odour that
can cause running of the eyes and nose.
10.1.5.2 Pre-Flight Check
(a) Check that the pressure indicator is positioned in the green range
indicating acceptable pressure charge; and
(b) That the ring pin is in place with the seal intact.
Note: The extinguisher is serviceable even if the plastic seal of
the ring pin is broken, provided that the pressure gauge is in the
green band.
10.1.5.3 Operation
(a) Remove from bracket;
(b) Remove ringed safety pin from the lever and handle;
(c) Hold the extinguisher upright with the fingers of one hand under the
handle and the thumb on the top of the lever. The other hand
should be placed on the bottom of the bottle to steady it if
necessary; and
(d) Aim the extinguisher at the base of the fire and press the lever
down with the thumb.
Note: Duration of discharge from the small size bottle is approximately six
(6) seconds and twelve (12) seconds from the large size bottle.
10.1.5.4 Precautions
(a) Do not discharge directly at a person;
(b) Discharge distance should be between 1.5 and 2 metres with an
open fire in the cabin. In the case of a fire in a confined space the
extinguisher should be held as close as possible.

10.1.6.1 General
The extinguishing agent has the same properties as the HALON fire
extinguisher (Type 1) above.
10.1.6.2 Pre-Flight Check
Check the red indicator disc is in place and that the sealing wire is intact.
Note: If the red disc or sealing wire are missing the weight of the
extinguisher should be compared with a serviceable bottle to determine if
the contents are still intact. If not, the extinguisher must be replaced.
10.1.6.3 Operation
(a) Remove from bracket;
(b) Raise safety catch on the back of the operating head by pushing up
with the thumb;
(c) Grasp the operating handle and put the forefinger through the loop
provided at the same time firmly pressing the trigger at the back of
the handle with the heel of the hand;
(d) Initial depression of the trigger will cause the red disc to fall out and
a little additional effort is required to break the sealing disc of the
extinguisher;
(e) Hold extinguisher at an angle within 600 of vertical position;
(f) Firmly squeeze the actuation trigger; and
(g) Ensure that the discharge nozzle head is pointing toward the fire
before operating.
Note: Duration of discharge is approximately thirteen (13) seconds.
10.1.6.4 Precautions
(a) Do not discharge directly at a person;
(b) Discharge distance should be between 1.5 and 2 metres with an
open fire in the cabin. In the case of a fire in a confined space the

10.1.7 Protective Breathing Equipment (PBE)


10.1.7.1 General
Protective breathing equipment (PBE) is a breathing apparatus designed to
protect the wearer's eyes and respiratory tract from the effects of smoke
and toxic fumes while fighting an in-flight fire.
The following general features apply to all types of PBE’s installed on
Company aircraft:
(a) They are designed to enclose the head within an elastic neck seal
and provide for a minimum of 15 – 20 minutes (depending upon the
manufacturer) of breathable air from a chemical generator;
(b) They can be worn by persons with glasses, jewellery, a beard or a
hair bun;
(c) They are installed with a neck shield (of varying length depending
upon manufacturer) that extends downward from the hood to
protect the collar and upper shoulder area; and
(d) They have features that permit the wearer’s voice to be heard
outside the PBE.
Note: Excess make-up should be removed before donning a PBE as
contact between grease and oxygen can cause burns.
Wearer’s should be aware that although the head area is protected, the
rest of the body is not and the wearer should guard against a feeling of
invincibility.
Company aircraft are installed with one of three types of protective
breathing equipment as detailed below.

10.1.7.2 Puritan Bennett PBE


This PBE is a demand device which means that more strenuous the work
the more oxygen will be produced.
(a) Pre-Flight Check:
(i) Inspect that the PBE unit is visible through access door;
(ii) Confirm that the white tamper proof seals located at the
top and bottom of the access door are intact; and
(iii) Ensure that the foil pouch is in place and is not obviously
expanded.
(b) Operation:
(i) Open the container by pulling the red handle. Pull the red
tag to open the foil pouch and pull out on the blue
aural/nasal cone and remove the hood;
(ii) Place both hands inside the neck seals, palms facing
each other and visor facing downward. Guide the hood
over the head and down over the face using the hands to
shield the face and glasses from the blue cone ensuring
that hair clothing and jewellery is clear of the neck seal;
(iii) Using both hands pull the neck shield down over the
collar and shoulders; and
(iv) Grasp both adjustment straps at the lower corner of the
visor and pull forward simultaneously to activate the
oxygen canister, then backward to seal the cone over the
nose and mouth. Oxygen will inflate the hood.
(v) If required, adjust glasses through the fabric, not through
the neck seal.
Note: The blue cone must be positioned high on the
nose with a firm seal otherwise fogging may occur.
If the hood begins to deflate and becomes hot and moist
the oxygen supply is depleted and the PBE must be
removed.

OPERATING PROCEDURES 19 Dec 06

(c) Abnormal Operation


(i) Failure of Starter Candle
If the starter candle fails to activate when the adjustment
strap is pulled an additional sharp pull on the strap may
be adequate to actuate the device. If the device still fails
the hood will continue to function. Placing fingers into the
neck seal may be required to enable sufficient breathing
volume until the chemical generator begins supplying
oxygen.
(ii) Loss of Neck Seal
The continued presence of strong irritating odours inside
the hood that results in eye and respiratory tract
discomfort is an indication of an ineffective neck seal.
Ensure that the neck seal is in contact with the skin and
that the seal is not disrupted by hair or jewellery. If the
condition persists or there is evidence of a tear in the
neck seal, the wearer should quickly go to a safe area
and remove the hood and don an alternative unit.
(d) Removal
(i) Move away from fire and/or toxic fumes area;
(ii) Push adjustment buckles forward with thumbs to release
straps;
(iii) Place both hands under neck seal and ease up over face;
(iv) Stow PBE in a safe dry place and allow it to cool; and
(v) Brush hair with hands to break down any oxygen build up.

10.1.7.3 Drager PBE


The oxygen canister can be activated by just breathing into the oral-nasal
mask but to start the chemical reaction by this method takes a few
seconds, therefore pulling the black quick-start toggle is the more
immediate method of activation.
(a) Pre-Flight Check:
(i) Check container seal is intact and the yellow
serviceability indicator is not broken; and
(ii) The container is not broken.
(b) Operation:
(i) Open container and remove foil bag containing the hood;
(ii) Pull red tear strip at top of foil bag and remove hood;
(iii) Place hood over head ensuring that the breathing bag
cover is to the front over the chest;
(iv) Ensure that the neck seal is free of obstruction (e.g. hair,
clothes collar, etc) and that the head harness is pulled
down for a secure fit;
(v) Fit oral-nasal mask securely to the nose and mouth and
pull black quick start toggle to activate; and
(vi) Fit tie strap around the waist.
(c) Abnormal Operations:
If the hood collapses onto the head during inhalation or there is an
increased breathing resistance check the fitting of the oral-nasal
mask as the cause may be an incomplete respiration back to the
breathing back due to leakage or an empty oxygen source.
After correcting the fitment of the oral-mask check the equipment
by making five (5) deep breaths. If the collapsing of the hood or
increased resistance occurs again either the oxygen reserve has
been used up or the hood is defective and should be removed.

(a) Pre-Flight Check:
(i) A date/month/year stamp should be visible, but set back
through the round inspection window.
Note: If the date/month/year stamp appears to be
firmly pressed against the inspection window, as if the
inside of the container is pressurised, the PBE should be
further checked for serviceability.
(ii) If the vacuum sealed bag is soft and not tightly formed
around the hood, or if the humidity indicator inside the
bag has changed colour from blue to pink, the unit is
unserviceable.
(b) Operation:
(i) Open the storage case by lifting the latch marked “LIFT”
and remove sealed unit from the storage case;
(ii) Grasp the red strip and tear open the sealed bag and
remove the PBE from bag;
(iii) Hold the hood and pack firmly against the body with one
hand and with the other hand pull the ring marked “PULL
TO ACTUATE” in the direction indicated. The unit will be
actuated when the ring and the pin pull free;
Note: A flow of oxygen should be audible, if not
discard the unit.
(iv) Grip the hood around the neck seal edge with the oxygen
pack away from the body, bend forward from the waist
and pull hood over the chin, across the face and over the
head. Stand upright and pull hood down until the
headband engages the forehead; and
(v) Ensuring that hair, jewellery or clothing is clear of the
neck seal in order to make a tight seal around the neck
pull the skirt of the hood fully down over the chest and
shoulders.

Note: It is normal to hear the sound of oxygen rushing


into the hood, indicating that the oxygen generator is
operating correctly. Once the noise ceases move to a
safe area and immediately remove the hood. Heat is
produced by the generator and may cause minor
discomfort inside the hood, but it is no cause for alarm.
The generator pack should not be touched during and
after operation due to heat build-up.
(c) Removal:
(i) Move away from the fire or toxic area; and

10.1.8 Life Vests


10.1.8.1 General
Life vests are carried on all Company aircraft and are normally stowed in a
container attached to the underside of the passenger seats.
The following section contains information on life vests from various
manufacturers that may be installed on Company aircraft.
Life vests installed on Company aircraft consist of the following
components:
(a) Pressurised cylinder(s) as the primary means of inflation, activated
by pulling on one or two (depending upon the number if chambers)
red toggles that hangs from the bottom of the vest;
(b) A mouth inflation valve for secondary inflation that can be used to
inflate the life jacket by blowing into one or two (depending upon
the number of chambers) mouthpieces. The life jacket can be
deflated by depressing the pin in the centre of the mouthpiece(s);
(c) A whistle for attracting attention; and
(d) A light, with a continuous life of approximately 20 hours that is
connected to a water sensitive battery and activated automatically
immediately on contact with water.
Life vests are designed to ensure that an unconscious or injured person
will automatically roll face upward in the water.
10.1.8.2 Double Chamber Life Vest Operation
(a) Remove vest from its stowage, tear off the plastic container and un-
roll the vest;
(b) Put the vest over the head with the larger portion of it in the front over

10.1.9.1 General
Company A321 aircraft are equipped with life rafts.
10.1.9.2 Raft Features
The life raft is designed so that no matter which way up it inflates it can be
operated from that side. This is achieved by suspending the raft floor
between the two buoyancy chambers and duplicating equipment each side.
The raft weighs approximately 60 kg in its stowage position, and requires
15 seconds to fully inflate.
The raft includes the following features:
(a) A non-inflatable canopy, with an inflatable centre mast and metal
support rods, which is stowed within the survival kit mounted in a
sling on the side of the raft;
(b) A survival kit that also contains an emergency ration pack and a
first aid kit that contains items suitable for survivors of an aircraft
ditching; and
(c) Other items such as a life-line, a boarding stirrup, air pump, rescue
quoit, sea anchor and water activated lights, etc.

10.1.9.4 Launching Raft(s)
Following a ditching and when the required door exits are open, remove
the raft(s) from stowage. Roll or carry raft(s) to exits, using able bodied
persons, as necessary and:
(a) Attach the retaining line to a metal section of the aircraft, e.g. a
cabin crew harness or a door hinge, then push the life raft into the
water and allow it to drift away from the door before inflating.
CAUTION: Do not attach the inflation line until the exit is open
in case the raft has to be relocated to another exit.
(b) Inflate by pulling firmly on the inflation line, pulling from the end of
the line, followed by a second firm pull to ensure inflation of both
chambers.
Note: Grasping the inflation line close to the raft as it is being
launched may cause it to inflate prematurely in the
aircraft.
Fill the far end of the raft first, distributing the occupants evenly around the
life raft.
Always launch all available rafts, even if their capacity is in excess of
aircraft loading. Should urgency prevent the raft being launched before the
passengers leave the aircraft attempt to launch the rafts after
disembarkation.
During launching, boarding and tying the life rafts together be alert for
possible aircraft structural damage that could damage the rafts.
(c) When the raft is filled proceed as follows:
(i) Disconnect the raft retaining line or cut it with the knife
provided;
(ii) Use the sea anchor to assist in manoeuvring the raft clear

10.1.10 Miscellaneous Safety Equipment


10.1.10.1 Megaphone
Portable battery operated megaphones (loud hailers) are carried on board
Company aircraft to provide the means for cabin crew (and flight deck
crew, if necessary) to control passengers during evacuation when the PA
system is inoperative or to control passengers when outside the aircraft
following an evacuation.
The megaphone may be used in the cabin only in emergency situations
when the PA system has failed. It is not to be used for normal passenger
briefing or for making non safety related announcements.
The megaphone consists of a microphone, amplifier, battery, trumpet
shaped loud speaker and a carrying strap.
The following general rules apply to megaphone use:
(a) When used inside the aircraft the megaphone should be pointed
down the central length of the cabin;
(b) When used outside the aircraft announcements should be made
and repeated a number of times in different directions as the sound
is emitted in a narrow beam which is not easily audible on either
side;
(c) Speak slowly, calmly and do not shout as this can distort the
speech.
10.1.10.2 Emergency Torch
All Company aircraft are fitted with emergency torches (flashlights) that are
located near cabin crew seats and in the flight deck. These torches are for
emergency use only. The torch is waterproof, but will not float and has a
wrist strap attached to the base. When activated, the torch will operate for
approximately six hours.
(a) Pre-Flight Check
(i) Ensure torch correctly positioned in stowage with the
plastic guard in place and with the lead seal intact; and
(ii) That the red light is flashing in 3 to 10 seconds intervals.
Note: If the interval is longer than 10 seconds, the battery
power is low and they should be replaced.

(ii) Wear the wrist-strap over the wrist to prevent from loss
during evacuation.
Note 1: In survival situations (when a torch needs to be carried
un-illuminated), unscrew the bottom cap of the torch,
disconnect the plug inside and replace the cap. Reverse
this procedure to reactivate the torch when required.
Note 2: On some aircraft, the torch is fitted with an ON/OFF
switch. During the pre-flight check the switch should be
turned on to ensure the torch operates correctly.

11.1 EMERGENCY EVACUATION PROCEDURES

11.1.1 Categorisation of Emergency Landings:


Emergency landings are categorised as follows:
(a) Prepared Emergency Landing
An emergency landing where there is sufficient time for cabin and
passenger preparation.
(b) Unprepared Emergency Landing
Is an emergency landing where it is necessary to land the aircraft
as soon as possible.
An emergency landing is further defined as follows:
(a) Forced landing
Is a landing, on land away from an airport
(b) Ditching
Is a landing on water
(c) Abnormal Landing
An abnormal landing is a landing at an airport in which some
aircraft damage is anticipated.
An abnormal landing is to be considered if the landing gear cannot
be locked fully down or some other malfunction exists and it is
known or considered possible that the aircraft will be damaged
during landing.
In an abnormal landing, preparation for rapid evacuation should be
as for either a forced landing or ditching, with the exception that it is
not necessary to have passengers remove and stow certain items
or loosen tight clothing.
If landing gear standby indicators indicate that the landing gear is
down and locked then normal procedures will apply. A tower fly
past should only be conducted if there is reason to doubt that the
landing gear is not fully down or there is known damage to the
landing gear.

11.1.2 Flight Deck Procedures


11.1.2.1 Prepared Emergency Landing
In all emergency situations it is important that the cabin crew are given
adequate time in which to complete their passenger cabin preparation
duties.
As soon as it is expected that an emergency landing will be required, the
SEAT BELT and NO SMOKING signs should be selected ON and the
Purser summoned to the flight deck by the following PA announcement:
“COCKPIT SPEAKING, PURSER REQUIRED IN COCKPIT”
The Purser is to be informed of the emergency in the following format:
(a) Nature of the emergency;
(b) Approximate flight time available;
(c) Type of emergency landing (forced landing, ditching or abnormal
landing); and
(d) Any other relevant information such as whether the Commander
intends to make a PA announcement prior to cabin preparation or if
a “BRACE” command will be given.
The Purser will repeat the Commander’s instructions to ensure that
everything is completely understood prior to returning to the cabin to
commence the cabin preparation.
As the flight deck crew will be occupied dealing with the emergency
situation the Purser is responsible for the PA announcement to the
passengers detailing the nature of the emergency, the time available and
the steps required in cabin preparation.
If time and/or duties permit the Commander (or First Officer) should make a
PA announcement providing additional appropriate information on the
emergency and the anticipated landing. It is essential that this PA
announcement does not over-ride the cabin preparation PA announcement
being made by the Purser.
11.1/P3
EMERGENCY EVACUATION PROCEDURES
Rev 08
A320/321 STANDARD
OPERATING PROCEDURES 30 Apr 05

In the case of a forced landing or ditching both pilots should loosen their
collar, tie and shoe laces, remove sharp objects from pockets and, in the
case of a ditching, fit a life jacket (do not inflate).
The Purser must advise, or the Commander must confirm, that passenger
cabin preparation has been completed prior to the commencement of final
approach.
All appropriate checklists must be completed.
11.1.2.2 Unprepared Emergency Landing
In the case of an unprepared emergency landing the degree of cabin
preparation will depend upon the time available. As a situation requiring an
unprepared landing is most likely to occur shortly after takeoff or during
approach and landing the cabin should be secure with respect to cabin
service items, cabin crew and passengers seated with seat belts fastened.
If possible, the Commander should communicate the situation to the Purser
by summoning him/her to the flight deck in accordance. If there is
insufficient time the Commander (or First Officer) should make an
appropriate PA announcement which will alert the cabin crew and the
passengers to the emergency situation.
11.2.2.3 “Brace” Instructions
At approximately 2000 FT the First Officer should make the following PA
announcement:
“CABIN CREW SEATED FOR LANDING”
Not later than 1 minute before impact the First Officer should make the
following PA announcement (FCOM vol 3 – 3.02.90)
“BRACE FOR IMPACT, BRACE FOR IMPACT”
Whenever there is a possibility of a runway overrun on a rejected takeoff or
of an unanticipated abnormal landing involving abnormal decelerations
cabin crew should be alerted by a PA announcement:
‘BRACE FOR IMPACT, BRACE FOR IMPACT’
11.1.3 Evacuation Responsibility
The Commander is responsible for the evacuation PA announcement.
Cabin crew will only initiate evacuation when it is obvious that the aircraft
must be immediately evacuated due to catastrophic circumstances.
When the Captain decides that an evacuation is not required the cockpit
crew makes an immediate announcement to this effect (FCOM 3.02.90)
“ CABIN CREW AND PASSENGERS REMAIN SEATED”

11.1.4 Evacuation PA Announcements


Immediately the aircraft comes to a stop the Commander (or First Officer)
shall make the following PA announcement:
“COCKPIT SPEAKING, CABIN CREW TO YOUR STATIONS”
Once the Passenger Evacuation checklist is completed and evacuation is
required the Commander (or First Officer) will make the following PA
announcement:
“EVACUATE, EVACUATE!”
11.1.5 Evacuation
If possible, pilots should proceed to the passenger cabin to assist in the
emergency evacuation as follows:
(a) Assist in the opening of any suitable doors and exits.
(b) Assist in the evacuation by directing passengers to the most
suitable exit avoiding congestion and by calling in a loud, clear
voice urge passengers to:
“HURRY, COME THIS WAY”
If at a slide exit instruct passengers to:
“JUMP AND SLIDE. RUN AWAY”
(c) In the case of a ditching instruct passengers to inflate life jackets
when outside the aircraft;
(d) If possible, the Commander or the Purser should check that all
passengers have evacuated the aircraft.

EMERGENCY EVACUATION PROCEDURES
Rev 08
A320/321 STANDARD
OPERATING PROCEDURES 30 Apr 05

When no significant aircraft damage has occurred and cabin crew have
prepared the passenger cabin for evacuation the speed of the evacuation
should be a consideration. Passenger safety is the prime consideration in
any emergency evacuation. The flight deck crew and cabin crew will
usually be able to determine whether or not the evacuation requires utmost
speed at the increased risk of injuries to individual passengers.
