Airbus Maneuvers

  1. Undue Activation of Alpha Protection

    If at any time, with a speed above VLS, the aircraft goes to a continuous nose down pitch rate that cannot be stopped with backward sidestick inputs, immediately:
    • a. One ADR .............................. KEEP ON
    • b. Two ADRs ............................ OFF
    • In case of dispatch with one ADR inoperative, switch only one ADR to OFF.
  2. Undue Activation of Alpha Protection

    • If the Alpha Prot strip (black and amber) rapidly moves by more than 30 kt during flight maneuvers (with an increase in load factor), with AP ON and speed brakes retracted:
    • a. One ADR .............................. KEEP ON
    • b. Two ADRs ............................ OFF
    • In case of dispatch with one ADR inoperative, switch only one ADR to OFF.

  3. Emergency Descent
    — Don oxygen masks and establish crew communications, if required.

    • — PF: 
    • Altitude: Select 10,000 or Safe Altitude, whichever is higher.Verify OP DES.

    Heading: Select a turn or proceed straight ahead.

    Airspeed: Select VMO/MMO or desired airspeed.

    • Wait minimum of 10 seconds then slowly:
    • - Speedbrakes ...Extend

    • 1000 feet prior to level off:
    • - Speedbrakes...Retract
    • - SPD...LRC (CI 0) or as approprate

    • — PM:
    • Make a PA announcement. “Emergency Descent, Be Seated,” advise ATC, check Safe Altitude, obtain altimeter setting (QNH), turn SIGNS ON and Turn ENGMODE to IGN.
  4. Driftdown and one engine cruise actions
    • THR LEVER(S)............MCT
    • A/THR.........................OFF

    • If not in radar contact:
    • Turn 30 deg left or right 

    SPD/MACH ON FCU............SPD

    SPEED SELECT...................GREEN DOT

    • When reaching green dot:
    • ALT Selector..................Set EO REC MAX or lower ALT and Pull 
  5. Loss of Braking
    • If Autobrake is selected:
    • 1. Brake Pedals.......................................Press

    • If no Braking Available:
    • 1. REV....................................................MAX
    • 2. Brake Pedals........................................Release
    • 3. A/SKID & N/W STRG.............................OFF
    • 4. Brake Pedals........................................Press
    • 5. MAX BRK PR........................................1000 psi

    • If still no braking:
    • Parking Brake........................Short & Successive Application
  6. TA/RA Resolution Advisory

    AUTOPILOT..........................OFF

    FLIGHT DIRECTORS..............OFF
