Engine Failure/Fire After V1 - Airbus A320 Series Instructor Support

In case such type of failure occurs after V1, the essential and primary actions are linked with the A/C handling; the
A/C must be properly STABILIZED in PITCH/SPEED and LATERALLY on the proper TRACK before starting any drill.
Thus the PF controls:
- PITCH at around 12.5° or SRS,
YAW and BANK without RUSH: when β target comes up, smoothly and continuously press on the pedal to center it
-
and then act on the stick laterally to fly constant heading,
no rush; don't forget that the Yaw Damper will react to a detected side slip and, hands off the stick, the aircraft will
bank at about 5° maximum. Thus laterally the A/C is a stable platform. On the other hand, if with full rudder you
cannot center the beta target, this means that the A/C speed is too low (most probably below VMCA). In that case,
check IAS and PITCH; most probably pitch down is required and
- consider the use of TOGA which will provide you extra thrust in order to achieve the initial climb even more safety.
The A/C control in case of EO at T/O and GA is most comfortable and by far easier than on certain mechanically
controlled A/C. This is due to the pitch and roll control laws which make the A/C very stable, and to the efficiency of the
Yaw Damper which assists the pilot in counteracting the yaw movement.
Thus be calm, don't over control it! Act in following order:
PITCH for SPD " " " " RUDDER (ZERO BETA TARGET) " " " " STICK (HDG CONSTANT)
PF may then use the RUDDER TRIM to release the pressure required on the pedal. Finally PF may ask PNF to set AP
ON. PF must then closely monitor the reaction of the AP in the same order.
NOTE:
Once CONF1 " 0 is ordered, normal side slip (yellow) is provided on the PFD. When it comes up, it is not properly
centered due to the difference of the nature of the information (calculation source and meaning). Adjust rudder pedals
accordingly.
Don't fight with the rudder trim, use it once stabilized.
PROCEDURE
The principle of this procedure is obviously to ensure a SAFE A/C handling, a proper task sharing, and to define an
order in the various drills which facilitates the proper achievement of each one:
STABILIZE A/C PATH " " " " INITIAL ECAM " " " " ACCEL and CLEAN UP " " " " REMAINING ECAM (to STS) " " " " AFTER T/O
C/L " " " " STATUS
The PF will command the various sequences of those drills.
When the failure occurs, the PNF announces ENG FAILURE/FIRE and cancels the MASTER WARNING thus the
aural.
