Applicable to: ALL

 IF NO BRAKING AVAILABLE:
REV........................................................................................................................................ MAX
BRAKE PEDALS........................................................................................................... RELEASE
Brake pedals should be released when the A/SKID & N/W STRG sw is switched OFF, since
the pedal force or displacement produces more braking action in alternate mode than in normal
mode.
A/SKID OFF...................................................................................................................... ORDER
L2 The PF orders the PM to set the A/SKID & N/W STRG sw to OFF.
L1 A/SKID & N/W STRG............................................................................................................. OFF
Braking system reverts to alternate mode.
BRAKE PEDALS................................................................................................................PRESS
Apply brake with care, since initial pedal force or displacement produces more braking action in
alternate mode than in normal mode.
MAX BRK PR..................................................................................................................1000 PSI
Monitor brake pressure or BRAKES PRESS indicator. Limit brake pressure to approximately
1 000 PSI and, at low ground speed, adjust brake pressure as required.
 If STILL NO BRAKING:
PARKING BRAKE...........................................SHORT AND SUCCESSIVE APPLICATIONS
Use short successive parking brake applications to stop the aircraft. Brake onset
asymmetry may be felt at each parking brake application. If possible, delay the use of the
parking brake until low speed, to reduce the risk of tire burst and lateral control difficulties.

Aircraft achieve the best climb performance when the wings are as level as possible.
If the "TERRAIN TERRAIN PULL UP" or "OBSTACLE OBSTACLE PULL UP" aural alert
triggers, a turning maneuver can be initiated if the flight crew concludes that turning is the
safest action. The PULL UP maneuver must be performed before the turn towards the safe
direction, as climbing increases the terrain clearance.
The "TERRAIN TERRAIN PULL UP" or "OBSTACLE OBSTACLE PULL UP" aural alert may be
followed by the "AVOID TERRAIN" or "AVOID OBSTACLE" aural alert. In this case, the flight
crew must adjust bank as necessary:
- If the alert generates when the wings are level, the aural alert indicates that the obstacles are
probably ahead.
- If the alert occurs while the aircraft is turning, the aural alert indicates that the obstacles are
probably within the turn trajectory.

Note: Avoid excessive maneuvers while aiming to keep the vertical speed just outside the
red area of the VSI, and within the green area. If necessary, use the full speed range
between Vαmax and VMAX.
Respect stall, GPWS, or windshear warning.
Notify ATC.
 GO AROUND procedure must be performed when a RA “CLIMB” or “INCREASE

If windshear is detected either by the system or by pilot observation, apply the following recovery
technique:
 At Takeoff:

If necessary the flight crew may pull the sidestick fully back.
Note: If the FD bars are not displayed, move toward an initial pitch attitude of 17.5 °.
Then, if necessary, to prevent a loss in altitude, increase the pitch attitude.
 Airborne, initial climb or landing:
THR LEVERS AT TOGA.............................................................................. SET OR CONFIRM

If necessary the flight crew may pull the sidestick fully back.
Note: 1. Autopilot disengages if the angle of attack value goes above α prot.
2. If the FD bars are not displayed, move toward an initial pitch attitude of 17.5 °.
Then, if necessary, to prevent a loss in altitude, increase the pitch attitude.

Ident.: PRO-ABN-SURV-00012272.0001001 / 17 MAR 17
Applicable to: ALL

The “W/S AHEAD” message is displayed on each PFD. The color of the message depends on the
severity and location of the windshear
Note: When a predictive windshear alert (“WINDSHEAR AHEAD” or "GO AROUND
WINDSHEAR AHEAD") is triggered, if the flight crew makes a positive verification that no
hazard exists, then the alert may be disregarded, as long as:
‐ There are no other signs of possible windshear conditions, and
‐ The reactive windshear system is operational.
Known cases of spurious predictive windshear alerts have been reported at some airports,
during either takeoff or landing, due to the specific obstacle environment.
However, always rely on any reactive windshear (“WINDSHEAR”).
W/S AHEAD RED

Associated with an aural synthetic voice “WINDSHEAR AHEAD, WINDSHEAR AHEAD”.
 Before takeoff:
Delay takeoff, or select the most favorable runway.
 During the takeoff run:
Reject takeoff.
Note: Predictive windshear alerts are inhibited above 100 kt until 50 ft.
 When airborne:

As usual, the slat/flap configuration can be changed, provided the windshear is not
entered.
