Manual Flying Policy
Airbus considers of paramount importance to give pilots opportunities to regularly fly the aircraft manually during line operations. That will make them less dependent on the automation systems, and more able to manage any unforeseen situation, in which they might require their manual flying skills.
What about Rotation Technique?
This briefing shows how to perform the rotation on Airbus fly-by-wire aircraft: − How to initiate the rotation − How to achieve and maintain the rotation rate of 3 degrees per second − How to achieve the pitch attitude after liftoff
How to manage Smoke and Fumes with Odors in Flight
What are the Airbus main recommendations in the event of smoke and fumes? What are the available Airbus material? What kind of material and training each operator can develop for their flight crews and cabin crews to identify the different types odors?
CHART NAMING
The intend of this briefing is to clarify the naming of the Performance Based Navigation (PBN): On the charts, “RNAV” becomes “RNP”. This briefing explains the new convention for the charts, the ATC phraseology, and what the flight crew must check to fly the PBN approach type.
GNSS Jamming
All aircraft with a GPS receiver may be affected by GPS jamming due to intentional or unintentional interferences. What are the consequences of GPS jamming on the Airbus aircraft operation, and what are the operational recommendations?
IRS Alignment
This presentation emphasizes the need to align IRS in order to get a good position throughout the flight and to monitor the performance of the IRS at the end of each flight. It also explains the technical difference between a fast and a complete IRS alignment, and in which case a fast or complete IRS […]
Smart Adoption of Fuel Economy Initiatives
The presentation explains how to adopt fuel economy initiatives that minimize the impact on brake oxidation. The use at landing of CONF 3 with REV IDLE and autobrake MED / 4 / HI is not recommended: It may significantly increase the brake oxydation.
Airbus Guidance Modes and Approaches
A synthetic view to clarify the available guidance modes per approach type.
Dual Computation for Takeoff Performance
This presentation explains why, when and how both pilots have to compute independently the takeoff performance.
What About Overspeed Prevention and Recovery ?
This briefing provides recommendations to prevent overspeed situations and to recover from overspeed situations.
