Taxiway Distance and Pushback Direction: After the checklist has been started automatically the
following 2D MCDU menu opens
Please set the distance to the taxiway (using LSK 3L or LSK 4L) as well as the pushback. To set the
correct value you also can use the mouse scroll wheel.
The feature uses the P3D basic pushback function and is it a little bit "enhanced". The P3D function
consists of a time part "straight" and the turn part. The minimum time P3D uses / needs for “straight”
is app. 7-9m (based on aircraft model used) e. g. time is converted into distance. Additionally, to that
the distance for the turn itself comes on top - a medium value for a 90° turn is app. 50m. But this
distance varies based on angle used and size of the plane e. g. for the A318 it is much smaller than for
the A321. But if needed you can always stop the pushback by using SHIFT+P.
37.
Start Pushback: Push “START” (LSK 6R) and the pushback starts….. There is no need to stop the
pushback – it automatically will stop when the previously set position is reached.
38.
Parking Brakes: Do not touch the parking brakes earlier than asked by the ground service crew! Only
then release the brakes.
39.
Engine Start: After setting the Engine Mode Selector to IGN START as well setting the Engine Master
Switch to ON, you can check on the EWD that the FADEC (Full Authority Digital Engine Control) have
turned on because the amber information is replaced by active displays.
CFM engines spool up to around N2 24% and then light up and produce an EGT rise. Normally this
takes some 15 sec max. But if IAE engines are installed it takes another 15 sec before the engine lights
up because IAE implemented an 30 sec "blow through" / dry crank sequence to get rid of any
remaining fuel/oil before starting the actual engine start sequence.
Start Engine 2 first and then Engine 1.

Engine stabilized: Approximate values for engine IDLE after start are:
CFM: N1: 18.5 % N2: 64.0% and EGT: 350°C
IAE: EPR 1.010, N1: 21.0%, N2: 57.0% and EGT: 410°C
42.
Stop Pushback: To stop the pushback it is not necessary to do anything. The pushback will stop and
the defined position (see settings # 89). If needed you can always stop pushback by using SHIFT+P.

Engine Start: After setting the Engine Mode Selector to IGN START you can check on the EWD that the
FADEC (Full Authority Digital Engine Control) have turned on. The amber crosses will disappear when
setting the Engine Mode Selector to IGN/START. Only the N1 and N2 will have amber crosses now
which will disappear when you select the Engine Master to one.
