ECAM Action (has priority over the radios)
If after 2nd agent discharge & fire not out after 5 s
- Declare an emergency (Land ASAP red), returning to land, stby fire services
250kts is a good speed to fly - fast enough while can still configure immediately
When fire is out: Eng Fire ECAM (Red) will disappear
LAND ASAP (red) will change to LAND ANSA (Amber)
Inform ATC fire is out, downgrade to pan-pan but still urgency to return
'Where are we?': Activate APPR - As reqd
The rest of ENG SHUTDOWN procedure is similar as for Eng Fail (inflight)
[Note: Ensure that ANN LT setting is BRT, or else Eng Fire Push red light Button in the sim might be too dim]

HUD FAILURE
Announce "HUD Failure – Go (before V1) or Flying on PFD (after V1)”
Engage AP as early as possible, no handover or immediate actions
ECAM NAV CAPT(F/O) HUD FAULT (inhibited below 1500’ agl)
Delay ECAM Action until after clean up & if necessary above MSA
At Status page, consider CDS HUD RESET (Switch Off HUD knob for 5s then back On) but hand over control first
If unsuccessful: Stow own HUD, take over control, PM may choose to stow or not
A solid diagonal line across on a HUD & a blank center (upper/lower) DU means its associated DU source has failed
ECAM: CDS CENTER UPPER(LOWER) DU FAULT (inhibited after takeoff until 1,500ft agl)

DISPLAY UNIT FAILURE


ECAM: CDS CAPT(F/O) INNER DU FAULT (inhibited after takeoff until 1,500ft agl)
Inboard DU failure – PFD & ND auto transfer to Outboard DU
ECAM procedure is a reset by itself requiring to turn Off the affected DU for 5 s then On again
When workload is low, check to see if the other crew’s instruments are fully operational before
a temporary handover of control to perform the reset as a PM

FCU FAILURE (AFS or one side of EFIS panel blank)


ECAM AUTO FLT AFS CTL PNL FAULT (inhibited after takeoff until 400ft agl) or
ECAM CDS CAPT(F/O) EFIS CTL PNL FAULT (inhibited after takeoff until 1,500ft agl)
Select & use either the AFS-CP or EFIS-CP tab from MFD FCU BKUP
For AFS fault, MFDs FCU BKUP page must remain on center lower DU instead of outer DU
For EFIS fault on PF side:
Hand over control to PM first before accessing own (onside) MFD
PF may display MFD on Outer DU with the FCU BKUP page readily accessible
Reset available for both in the System Reset table (AUTO FLT FCU) but only on the ground
FLIGHT CONTROL FAULT

Type of flight control faults:


Flap Sys 1+2 Fault*
Flaps Locked*
Inner Flaps Fault*
L/R Elevator Fault (without Stabilizer Fault)
Stabilizer Fault (without L/R Elevator Fault)
Slat Sys 1+2 Fault*
Slats Locked*

(Faults in blue = FOR LDG: FLAP LVR 3)

* ECAM action - Use Selected Speed: Pull SPD Knob to stop the acceleration/deceleration
Target speed to fly is VFE -5 but if currently below don’t have to speed up
If target config not reached for Flaps/Slats Locked:
A Blue Box with selected Config will be displayed on the PFD
The selected target Circle (for slats) and Triangle (for flaps) position will remain in Blue
(When target config reached, the selected Config will turn Green & the Blue Box will disappear)
For any Sys 1+2 Fault The ECAM will direct to the appropriate Reset button (3 sec according to system reset)
Recycle Flaps lever to 0 then back to previous position at time of failure
For Inner Flaps Fault, refer to the Sys Reset Table
For any Locked, Stabilizer or Elevator faults, there is no reset
FUEL CONSUMPT INCRSD - apply Fuel Penalty Assessment (Quick Access) into FMS DATA/STATUS
LDG PERF AFFECTED - use the Ldg Perf Application to work out the Ldg Dist & VAPP
If FPF & Ldg Perf okay – inform ATC of intention to land/divert
Approach briefing & Descent/Approach checks
Early Stabilised Approach: Decelerate to Approach Speed at G/S *
Also latest LDG GEAR Down by G/S *
For GA: Keep S/F Conf (for Flaps Locked, Inr Flaps Fault or Flap Sys 1+2 Fault) hence monitor fuel consumption
Landing checks
Brief on pitch attitude & risk: Flaps Locked (higher = tail strike), Slats Locked (lower = float, very little flare needed)
If Ldg With No Slats & No Flaps, apply ABN ECAM Not-Sensed checklist

LOSS OF BRAKING
Recognition: No standard deceleration
If Autobrake Selected, Press Brake Pedal
If No Brake Available, Max Reversers
Release brake pedals
PF callout: “Loss of Braking, Anti Skid Off”
Then apply manual braking – pressure of the brakes are automatically limited
If still no braking, use park brake for Ultimate braking mode (max accum pressure) - risk of MLG tire burst
Once aircraft is stopped, review the [MEM] checklist
Advice ATC will stop on runway due to loss of braking and will require a tow tug to the gate
2. NON-NORMAL MANEUVERS

AP/FD TCAS MODE (normal)


If TCAS Caution - Traffic Advisory (TA)
TCAS mode, check Armed - PM “TCAS Blue”, PF “Checked”
If TCAS Warning – Resolution Advisory (RA)
TCAS mode, check auto engaged – PM “TCAS”, PF “Checked”
Monitor vertical speed
Once clear of conflict, aircraft will return to initial altitude using a V/S rate of up to 1000 fpm
FMA reversion to V/S mode if TCAS failure occurs during the maneuver

AUTO FLT TCAS MODE FAULT (no reset)


Confirm ECAM message & revert to manual TCAS procedure
Traffic Advisory (TA)
• Announce “TCAS I have control”
• Try to visually acquire the traffic if in VMC (PM look outside)
• Call out any conflicting traffic
• Seat Belt Sign, Landing & Wing Lights ON
• PF look inside - use traffic display as an aid
• Do not maneuver unless visual contact confirms separation is not adequate

Resolution Advisory (RA)


• Disengage AP & FD Off
• If maneuvering is required:
Smoothly adjust pitch as necessary
- The pitch must be adjusted to achieve RA VSI outside the red band(s)
• Attempt to establish visual contact
• Advice ATC "TCAS RA"
• If ATC gives a conflicting instruction, advice “Unable; TCAS RA”
• When clear of conflict, smoothly return to previous clearance
"Clear of conflict. Returning to <assigned clearance>", request traffic info, filing near miss report
FD On, Altitude Pull, AP 1/2 On, Manage Spd, Manage NAV if previously on flight plan route

If a climb RA occurs in landing configuration:


• Disengage AP
• Smoothly adjust pitch to satisfy the RA command
• Ensure desired speed is maintained
• When clear of conflict, execute go-around if necessary

RA maneuver is mild and does not require large or abrupt control movements
Windshear, TAWS and stall warnings take precedence over TCAS advisories

TAWS ALERTS
Announce “Pull Up TOGA”
AP Disconnect
Pitch Full Aft Stick (disregard SRS Orders)
Select TOGA Thrust
Retract Speedbrake & Wings Level
Climb to min safe altitude or until visual verification can be confirmed
PM to select ND range to 40nm to show the MORA & notify ATC of terrain recovery climb
Once clear, lower nose to speed up above VLS, clean up aircraft (to at least GD spd) or do a full G/A procedure
Pull up unless in visual and can immediately confirm there is no threat

WINDSHEAR WARNING – REACTIVE WINDSHEAR


Announce "Windshear TOGA"
Set or Maintain TOGA
Leave AP On or follow SRS orders or higher pitch
Wings level & do not change configuration
Closely monitor flight path and speed
(PM to call out significant deviations but do not say "Positive Climb")
Example callouts "Tailwind 30kts, VS -200, Airspeed 135 decreasing"
If FD pitch guidance not available use initial pitch up 15° up to full aft stick to minimize height loss
Note: Rotation may be delayed till last 2000ft from end of runway
2000ft cue at night: Start of Amber R-Edge-Lts & halfway thru intermediate R&W centerline lights
2000ft cue during the day: Reaching the 3rd pair of white bar (last one before aiming point)
