Autopilot: Because EGLL ILS 04L is ILS CAT1 we are not allowed to use “AUTOLAND” and must
disconnect the autopilot at latest at the decision altitude of 210 feet. Some airlines require that if no
AP is used also the ATHR has to be switched off.
206.
LAND and FLARE mode: As the aircraft gets closer to the ground the LAND mode engages, then the
FLARE mode. The actual modes are shown on the FMA.
207.
Thrust Levers: IDLE: There is a callout: RETARD. A single callout if thrust levers are retarded in time,
multiple callouts if not (auto landing = callout at 10 ft, manual landing = at 20 ft).Pull the trust levers
back to IDLE and let the aircraft gently touch the ground.
208.
Trust Levers: REV: After touchdown the thrust reversers (by using F2 from the keyboard) might be
activated but not necessarily if noise abatement procedures prohibit it.
209.
BRAKES: The autobrake makes the aircraft decelerate on the ground. You can also take the control at
any time by using the brakes. Any manual action on the brakes automatically disconnects the
autobrake system.
210.
REV THRUST: If REV THRUST is used (#284 and #287) the levers are automatically stowed by the
Copilot.
211.
AUTOPILOT: We switched the autopilot OFF because at EGLL ILS04L = ILS CAT1 we are not allowed to
make an “AUTOLAND”. But for ILS CAT2 and 3 landing (if the AP is ON) shortly after landing e. g. the
plane is still on the centerline the autopilot is automatically switched off and the warning signal goes
on. The signal will automatically be switched off by the Copilot.
5.23 Go Around
The GO AROUND flight path is displayed on the ND (in blue) if:
• A missed approach waypoint (MAP in blue) is displayed on the MCDU F-PLAN page (in line 2, 3, 4 and/or
5), while ND is in ROSE or ARC mode or
• Displayed on the MCDU F-PLAN page in line 2, while ND is in PLAN mode.
The GO AROUND procedure is as described below:
• After initialization of the GA „GO AROUND ACTIVE“ is displayed on the INFOBAR.
• After reaching GA ALT and the AFTER TO CHECKLIST has been finished "CLIMB OR CONTINUE FOR NEW
APPROACH“ is displayed on the INFOBAR.
• If additionally to the GA ALT a higher altitude is selected:
o Up to 10.000 ft: Nothing has to be done and there is no INFOBAR display.
o Higher than 10.000 ft: The checklist function changes into CLIMB- and after that as usual into
CRUISE-, and DESCENT PREP-mode (initialization maybe without delay because no T/D is
available). The remaining procedure is according to a normal approach.
• Generally the Approach CL will be initialized after a GA 30 NM and automatically started 25 NM before
the destination airport. A message is displayed on the INFOBAR: APPR. CL STARTS IN x MILES OR
MANUALLY START CL …… E. g. it can be manually started using „1“ from the keyboard or from the
MCDU2 menu itself.
• When the APPR. CL has been finished manually start the MCDU PERF APPR. PHASE (also a respective
message appears on the INFOBAR)
