1 PERIODIC CHECKS ECAM SYSTEM CHECKS VERTICAL MANAGEMENT STEP CLIMB LATERAL MANAGEMENT REACHING CRZ FL LEVEL CHANGE OPTIMUM CRZ FL L R Automatic control of CG in CRZ - Version 03a

2 When reaching initial CRZ FL 1. INITIATION CHECK ALT CRZ on FMA SOFT THRUST MODE Minimised thrust variations in turbulence corresponding to +/- 3kt range of the target speed

5 4. VERTICAL MANAGEMENT INSERT WIND AND TEMP AT VARIOUS CRZ WPTs IN MCDU WIND PAGES CHECK APPROPRIATE STEP, AND REQUEST ATC CLEARANCE When FL Clearance obtained: STEP CLIMB ENTER AS APROPRIATE For FL strategy, refer to FMS computation via the STEP ALT pages using...

6 5. STEP CLIMB When reaching STEP point: SELECT..NEW CRZ FL ALT..SET AND MANAGE FMA

7 6. PERIODIC CHECKS When overflying a waypoint: TRACK AND DISTANCE.CHECK When overflying a waypoint or every 30 minutes: CHECK FOB (E/WD) AND PREDICTIONS (FMGS) CHECK FOB + FU If GPS primary not available: NAV ACCURACY.....CHECK F-PLN PAGE FOB E/WD FU FOB FOB at departure FOB E/WD COMPARE values DEST EFOB FU1 FU2 page If FOB + FU < FOB at departure or, if the sum decreases : Suspect a fuel leak

8 7. LATERAL MANAGEMENT (OFFSET) In case of ATC request, or when adverse weather conditions are expected ahead: LATERAL REV at P POS.. SELECT RQRD OFFSET VALUE/DIRECTION WRITE OFFSET... INSERT When cleared to resume own navigation: CANCEL THE OFFSET CB OFFSET TRACK CB OFFSET TRACK TWO methods for offset cancellation According to ATC clearance SELECT DIR TO a waypoint (e.g. next WPT) SELECT a Lateral Revision at P POS (clear the offset)

10 SYSTEM DISPLAY REVIEW 2. PERIODIC CHECKS: SYSTEM MONITORING Oil pressure and temperature BLEED parameters Periodically: ECAM MEMO......REVIEW ECAM SYS PAGES REVIEW CABIN TEMP....MONITOR Parameters, GEN loads Fluid quantity. RADAR TILT... ADJUST Green system TCAS is higher trafficthan sel ALL on ground, following or BLW landing gear retraction Fuel distribution, trim tank quantity and CG IN TASK SHARING Duct temperature, compared with zone temperature Avoid large differences for passenger comfort In cruise, the task sharing is let to crew appreciation. Data entered in the MCDU should be crosschecked. Note any unusual control surface position

16 NAV ACCURACY CHECK PRINCIPLE OF THE CHECK: Compare FMS computed data and raw data METHOD Tune manually VOR (VOR DME or ADF) on the RAD NAV page. Select associated Needles on the ND Enter the VOR ident on the BRG/DIST TO field of the PROG page Compare bearings 140 RESULT Compare distances If POS ERROR 3 NM, FM position is reliable POS ERROR > 3 NM, FM position is not reliable
