PFD – Glidescope captured - Vertical and lateral glide path

The middle of both fields shows the vertical and lateral position of the aircraft whereas the magenta

rhombus shows the actual position on the glide path. This means that during the approach both

rhombuses are moving to the center. The picture above shows a position at which the aircraft is on

the nearly ideal position for landing.

On the EFIS control panel please change the knob for the various views to LS. This view also shows the

glide path and the position of the aircraft to it.

Landing Memo: The conditions for the Landing Memo are:

• < 2000 feet RA above runway altitude

• Flight mode: Cruise or Approach

• Both thrust levers at or below CL detent

The “LANDING” checklist is “interrupted” until the “Landing Memo” becomes available in the Upper

ECAM. The Copilot then continues with the settings i. e. flaps 2, gear down etc.

Speed Restriction 160 knots: On certain airports like p. e. EGLL speed restrictions apply like 160 kts

before till 4 NM before the runway. This is a bit difficult because on the other hand SOP states the

plane has to be fully established at 1000 feet RA. So, Flaps 2, speed brakes and sometimes even gear

down is used to keep the 160 knots. If the Checklist, the Copilot and SPD SEL = 160 knots is used the

gear will not automatically be deployed at <2000 feet RA as well as the flaps not set to 3 and full –

only after SPD SEL is <160 knots or in MNGD mode.

Many pilots flying in and out of Heathrow also tend to “cheat” on the SOP here, applying full flaps and

gear down with selected speed at 160kt. This way the stable gate at 1.000ft is assured and you have

a lot of drag which makes it easy to slow down once passing 4.0 DME.

195.

Flaps 2: At calculated speed (but must be lower than VFE = 200 knots) the flaps are automatically

extended to 2 by the copilot (if = ON). If the calculated flaps 2 extension speed is higher than VFE the

plane must be near MLW or even above. This means it is an emergency. In such a case do not use

“Managed Speed”, but set the speed manually to a value below VFE = 200 knots (e.g. 195 knots). The

flaps then will be automatically extended by the copilot (if = ON). After the flaps have been extended

to 2 you can again use “Managed Speed” for landing.

196.

GoAround ALT: This is the altitude a plane must fly to when using the GO AROUND procedure (MCDU

FPLAN waypoints in blue) in case a landing has to be aborted. Set the GoAround Altitude according to

the FPLAN e.g. change the set altitude on the FCU to the first altitude to be reached after a “Go

Around”. Please just change the altitude and do not press or pull the knob at this point. In case the

Copilot function is enabled it is automatically set by the copilot under following conditions:

• FAP passed - plus 0.5 NM added

• Actual flight level below GA ALT

• Actual flight level below FCU set ALT
