Applicable to: ALL NON BACK-DRIVEN THRUST LEVER CONCEPT Airbus has selected the non-back-driven thrust lever concept: ‐ The flight crew can easily and intuitively monitor the energy of the aircraft via current energy cues (speed, speed trend, HUD chevrons , engine parameters), and not via ambiguous thrust levers movement ‐...
If the speedbrakes are out, and the aircraft has been re-trimmed, the PF must gently retract the speedbrakes, to give time to re-trim, and thereby avoid a large, nose-down trim change. PIA A318/A319/A320/A321 FLEET AOP-10-30-20 P 1/2 FCTM A to B →...

GENERAL DESIGN AND UTILIZATION PRINCIPLES Ident.: AOP-10-40-00016251.0001001 / 20 MAR 17 Applicable to: ALL The procedures are consistent with the Airbus aircraft design philosophy. The procedures are divided into routine, and not-routine procedures. They are easy to identify and to understand.
(e.g. airframe deicing/anti-icing procedures on ground, manual engine start). The not-routine tasks are supported by the Supplementary Procedures. The flight crew must perform not-routine actions, using the READ & DO principle. PIA A318/A319/A320/A321 FLEET AOP-10-40 P 2/4 FCTM C to D →...

Applicable to: ALL INTRODUCTION If tailstrike is not a concern for the A318, the importance of this subject increases as fuselage length increases. Therefore, it is particularly important for A321 operators. Tail strikes can cause extensive structural damage, which can jeopardize the flight and lead to heavy maintenance action.
Page 360
An abrupt increase of rotation rate close to liftoff might lead to a tailstrike. If the established pitch rate is not satisfactory, the PF must correct it as soon as detected. CONFIGURATION (NOT APPLICABLE TO A318) When performance is limiting the takeoff weight, the flight crew uses TOGA thrust and selects the configuration that provides the highest takeoff weight.
Applicable to: ALL If take-off is carried out at heavy weight, two protections may intervene: ‐ The Automatic Retraction System (ARS) ‐ The Alpha Lock function PIA A318/A319/A320/A321 FLEET PR-NP-SOP-120 P 5/8 FCTM ← D to F → 10 AUG 21...

GENERAL DISPATCH POLICY Airbus recommends to crosscheck at dispatch, in addition to the regulatory performance requirements, that in the forecast conditions, the FLD for the planned mass is less than the available runway length (LDA). This check should be made for both the destination and the destination alternates.
Page 380
For example, if the flight crew expects to use idle reverse thrust only, they should establish the FLD without reverse thrust. When the runway is wet or contaminated, Airbus recommends the use of maximum reverse thrust. Exceptionally, the flight crew may use idle reverse in wet conditions, when it is ensured that a safe stop with spoilers and wheel braking alone can be made on a runway contaminated with standing water.

Flight crews must have in mind the typical symptoms associated with such cases in order to detect this situation early and apply the "UNRELIABLE SPEED INDICATION" QRH procedure. PIA A318/A319/A320/A321 FLEET PR-AEP-NAV P 2/22 FCTM ←...

This situation is latched for the remainder of the flight, until the ELACs are reset on ground, without any hydraulic pressure. However, if the anomaly is only transient, the AP and the A/THR can be re-engaged when the disagree disappears. PIA A318/A319/A320/A321 FLEET PR-AEP-NAV P 3/22 FCTM ← B →...

IAS decreases, after lift-off. IAS decreases, when aircraft climbs. IAS increases, when aircraft descends.

To help the identification of the affected ADR(s), the flight crew can use the Pitch/Thrust tables of the QRH procedure. The Pitch/Thrust tables provide the resulting speed for a given aircraft weight and flight level. WARNING Do not instinctively reject an outlier ADR.

Adjust pitch and thrust according to QRH tables, and wait for speed stabilization. Expect a significant time to stabilize the flight path and important altitude variations during the stabilization. For the approach, a wide pattern and an early stabilized approach are recommended. PIA A318/A319/A320/A321 FLEET PR-AEP-NAV P 20/22 FCTM ← C →...
There will be no auto-callouts on approach, and no "RETARD" call in the flare The GPWS/EGPWS will be inoperative; therefore terrain awareness becomes very important.

ECAM procedure. If any doubt exists about the smoke/fumes origin, the flight crew will then refer to the [QRH] SMOKE / FUMES / AVNCS SMOKE procedure. PIA A318/A319/A320/A321 FLEET PR-AEP-SMOKE P 1/10 FCTM A to B → 23 NOV 21...
Good coordination between cockpit and cabin crew is a key element . In case of smoke/fumes in the cabin, it is essential that the cabin crew estimate and inform the cockpit concerning the density of smoke/fumes and the severity of the situation.

Furthermore, at any time during the procedure application, if smoke/fumes become the greatest threat, the boxed items will be completed. The main steps of this global philosophy may be visualized in the [QRH] SMOKE / FUMES / AVNCS SMOKE procedure. PIA A318/A319/A320/A321 FLEET PR-AEP-SMOKE P 3/10 FCTM D → 23 NOV 21...

If, at any time of the procedure, the smoke becomes the greatest threat, the flight crew must consider applying the SMOKE/FUMES REMOVAL procedure. Finally, if at any time of the procedure, the situation becomes unmanageable an immediate landing must be considered. PIA A318/A319/A320/A321 FLEET PR-AEP-SMOKE P 8/10 FCTM 23 NOV 21...
If SMOKE warning is displayed on ground with the cargo compartment door open, do not initiate an AGENT DISCHARGE. Request the ground crew to investigate and eliminate the smoke source.
