Approach CL: The APPROACH CL now is available for manually start (MCDU2 CHECKLIST MENU =
marked in orange) app. 10 NM before the DECEL pseudo waypoint and a message pops up on the
INFOBAR showing the distance and explains the start options. It starts automatically app. 5 NM before
DECEL pseudo waypoint.
For the start of the APPROACH CL it is not necessary anymore that the DESCENT CL has been finished.
Even if the BARO CHECK has not yet been completed the APPROACH CL can be started. As a reminder
in such a case “DESCENT CL” blinks on the Settings MCDU.

ECAM Message: There is a very important difference between caution (amber) and warning (red). If
the CLR button is ON it is necessary previously to confirm a “warning” or “caution” message.

Sliding Table: If the copilots sliding table had been extended at cruise level. Even if the copilots

Baro Ref Cross Check: The QNH value entered in the MCDU PERF APPR page is used by the copilot. If
no value has been entered there, then the current ambient pressure value will be used (= keyboard
[B]). It is not mandatory to fill the QNH-field in the MCDU – PERF – APPR page. But if a value is entered
the unit used (inHg or hPa) must be identical with the settings the FCU – QNH display. If the unit is
later changed the value in MCDU PERF APPR page will be automatically adjusted.
Like in reality the copilot enters those figures in visible steps and not at once. Then there is a pause of
2 seconds - during which the user can enter a different value – before the checklists continues. The
P3D standard conversion rate of 10013 = 29.92) is used for this baro function.
