I CONTENT I

R The Flight Crew Operating Manual is the support documentation for flight crew operations.
R The Flight Crew Operating Manual provides operating crews with the technical, procedural
R and performance characteristics of the A320 family aircraft to ensure a safe and efficient
R operation during normal and/or abnormal/emergency situations on ground and in flight.
R However, the Flight Crew Operating Manual is not intended to provide basic jet aircraft
R piloting techniques or information that are considered as basic airmanship for trained flight
R crews familiar with that type of aircraft and with its general handling characteristics.
R The Flight Crew Operating Manual is intended :
R - To be used directly as flight crew operating manual or to be the basis for elaboration of
R the relevant parts of the "crew manual" by the operations department of the operator
R in accordance with applicable requirements.
R - To be used as a flight crew training manual (initial and refresher).
R However, the Flight Crew Operating Manual is not intended to be used for teaching basic
