WINDOWS and DOORS...................................................................CHECK CLOSED PF-PM
L2 ‐ To ensure that the sliding window is correctly closed and locked, push the handle of the sliding
window fully forward to the closed position, and verify that the red indicator is no longer visible
‐ Check, on the ECAM lower display, that all the aircraft doors are closed
‐ When required by local airworthiness authorities, check that the cockpit door is closed and
locked (no cockpit door open/fault indication).
If entry is requested, identify the person requesting entry before unlocking the door. With the
cockpit door selector on NORM, the cockpit door is closed and locked. If entry is requested from
the cabin, and if no further action is performed by the pilot, the cabin crew will be able to unlock
the door by using the emergency access procedure. Except for crew entry/exit, the cockpit door
should remain closed until engine shutdown.
L1 Note: Starting one engine with a door not closed will result in pack valve closure.

If a takeoff is performed with the packs OFF : The packs must be set to OFF at least 20 s before
applying takeoff thrust.
In the case of a FLEX takeoff, setting the packs to OFF, or the APU bleed pb-sw ON, will reduce
takeoff EGT, and consequently reduce maintenance costs.
Use of the APU bleed is not permitted, if wing anti-ice is to be used.
Set the APU bleed pb-sw to ON at least 20 s before applying takeoff thrust. This will prevent the

‐ When flying in NAV mode, use the DES mode.

• Monitor the VERT DEV
The VERT DEV appears on the PFD and on the PROG page.
• Monitor the FMA when the aircraft reaches the level-off symbol (i.e. or )
Note: The NDs display a level-off symbol along the flight path. The position of this
symbol is based on the current active modes: i.e. AP/FD and A/THR.

‐ MCDU predictions assume a return to the lateral F-PLN and descent flight path.
‐ Note that whenever the lateral mode is changed from NAV to HDG/TRK the vertical mode
reverts to V/S at the value pertaining at the time of the mode change.
‐ From time to time during stabilized descent, the flight crew may select FPA to check that the
remaining distance to destination is approximately the altitude change required divided by the
FPA in degrees.
‐ FPA (°) = Δ FL/DIST (NM)

Ident.: PRO-NOR-SOP-17-A-00011967.0001001 / 09 NOV 21

DESCENT ADJUSTMENT
RATE of DESCENT...................................................................... ADJUST, AS RQRD PF
L2 To increase the rate of descent, increase the descent speed by using the selected speed, if
comfort and the ATC permit. It is more cost-effective (Time/Fuel) than using the speed brakes:
‐ Maintain a high speed as long as possible, provided that the ATC permits to fly above the speed
limits
‐ If the aircraft is high and at high speed, it is more efficient to keep the high speed until ALT* then
to decelerate at level-off, instead of combining descent and deceleration
‐ If the aircraft goes below the desired profile, use the selected speed and the V/S mode to adjust
the rate of descent.
In the OP DES mode, the flight crew can use the speed brakes to increase the rate of descent.
The flight crew can also use the speed brakes to maintain the required rate of descent, when
engine anti-ice is used.
In the DES mode, if the aircraft is on, or below the flight path and the ATC requires a higher rate
of descent, do not use the speed brakes because the rate of descent is imposed by the planned
flight path. Therefore, the A/THR may increase thrust to compensate for the increase in drag. In
this case, use the OP DES mode with speed brakes.

L1 Note: The flight crew must take into account any QNH change on the EFIS control panels,
standby altimeter and on the FMS PERF APPR page.
The flight crew should pay attention to a barometric reference that significantly
differs from the one used for approach preparation. That could be the symptom
of a barometric reference error. In this case the flight crew should consider the
confirmation of the barometric reference from all available sources.

use the brake fans without delay. In other cases, the flight crew would delay brake fans selection
to 5 min after landing, or approaching the gate, whichever occurs first.
For more information, Refer to FCTM/PR-NP-SOP-270 Use Of Brake Fans.

Note: The flight crew must operate the engines at or near idle thrust for a cooling period of
1 min before engine shutdown, in order to thermally stabilize the engines.
Idle reverse thrust and normal thrust to maneuver during taxi (i.e. at or near idle), are
not considered as high thrust operations. Therefore, both of the following applies:
‐ If the flight crew used idle reverse thrust for landing and normal thrust to maneuver
during taxi after landing, the cooling period starts when the flight crew retards the
thrust lever during the flare
‐ If the flight crew used maximum reverse for landing, the cooling period starts when
the flight crew sets the thrust lever to idle reverse during the landing rollout.
Before engine shutdown, routine cooling periods that last less than the required time,
can result in engine degradation.
ENGINE PARAMETERS............................................................................ CHECK PF

L2 If a temperature of one brake is above 300 °C (or above 150 °C with brake fan  ON), the
parking brake should be released after the chocks are in place.
Releasing the parking brake prevents the critical structures from being exposed to high
temperature levels for an extended time. However, if operational conditions require (e.g. slippery
tarmac), the parking brake may remain applied.
The flight crew should not press the brake pedals before releasing the parking brake. However,
the flight crew must be prepared to press the brake pedals after parking brake release, if
necessary.
