7.12 Minimum Decision Altitude (MDA)
At MAP/MDA (which is set to 2.000 feet)
• Check LDG MEMO is all green.
• Approach is stable.
• Visual with runway.
If those conditions are met the captain will announce "LANDING".
• Disconnect AP and proceed to fly manually
• Turn FD off
• Set TRK on the FCU to runway track (=345).
Failure to disconnect AP by MDA will result in automatic AP disconnection at MDA-50 ft. The PFD altitude
display after passing the MDA will change to “yellow”.
Manual Approach after passing MDA (ND = ARC mode)
If decision is to GO AROUND, announce "GO AROUND".
• Set the thrust levers to MAN TOGA
• Set the AP to ON
• Fly the Missed Approach path
If the checklist- and copilot funtions are set ON just follow the checklist……

Set AP and FD = OFF
Remember:
• If you are flying a GA-procedure in connection with an NPA please remember that compared to a normal
ILS-Approach below the Minimum Altitude the AUTOPILOT is OFF. So initiating the Go-Around you must set
the AUTOPILOT again to ON.
• The same is valid in case of a new approach for the APPR. Set it to ON when clearing the F-PLAN
DISCONTINUITY between the last waypoint of the GA flightpath and the first waypoint of the new FINAL.
• During GA-procedure and in case of a new approach the automatic activation of the MCDU APPR PHASE
does not work. It has to be manually activated. There is also no DECEL-point displayed on the ND.
