AUTOTHRUST FUNCTION
Use of the autothrust is approved with, or without, AP/FD in selected or managed
mode.
En Route 1 nm 1 nm 1.1 nm
Without GPS PRIMARY (or GPS deselected or inoperative), the accuracy has been
demonstrated, provided the appropriate RNP value is checked or entered on the
MCDU, and HIGH accuracy is displayed.
Without GPS PRIMARY (or GPS deselected or inoperative), navigation accuracy is
a function of ground radio NAVAID infrastructure, or elapsed time since the last
radio update.
The FMGS is also certified for navigation within BRNAV, PRNAV, RNP-4 and RNP-
10 airspace. RNP 10 oceanic/remote area operations are approved with GPS
PRIMARY, or without GPS PRIMARY (or GPS deselected or inoperative), provided
time limitations in IRS only navigation (acceptable to operational authorities), are
established. FMGS approval is based on the assumption that the navigation
database has been validated for intended use. Obstacle clearance and adherence
to airspace constraints remains the flight crew's responsibility.
Fuel, time predictions/performance information is provided for advisory purposes
only. NAV mode may be used after takeoff, provided FMGS runway updating has
been checked.
For instrument procedures not coded in the WGS 84 coordinate system, the GPS
must be deselected, unless the shift between the local coordinate system and the
WGS 84 is found acceptable for the intended operation.
Note:1. The assesment of this shift can be done:
- In flight, monitoring the NAVAID raw data in non RNAV procedures,
- On ground performing a GPS survey of the procedure waypoints.
2. RNAV (GPS) and RNP RNAV approach procedures require
WGS 84
coordinates and GPS.
FINAL APP mode guidance capability with GPS PRIMARY has been demonstrated
down to MDH/DH (barometric) 250 ft.
VOR, VOR/DME, NDB or NDB/DME approach procedures may be performed, in
NAV, or NAV and FINAL APP mode, provided AP or FD is used, and:
- GPS PRIMARY is available. In this case, the reference NAVAID may be
unserviceable, or the airborne radio equipment may be inoperative, or not
installed, provided operational approval is obtained.
- Without GPS PRIMARY:
The reference NAVAID and the corresponding airborne equipment is serviceable,
tuned, and monitored during the approach, or
The radio NAVAID coverage supports the RNP value, specified for the approach
procedure, and an operational approval is obtained.
For GPS approach, GPS PRIMARY must be available. RNAV approach without
GPS PRIMARY may be performed only if the radio NAVAID coverage supports the
RNP value and HIGH accuracy is displayed on the MCDU with the specified RNP,
and operational approval is obtained.
NAV mode may be used in the terminal area, provided:
- GPS PRIMARY is available, or
- HIGH accuracy is displayed, and the appropriate RNP is checked or entered on
the MCDU, or
- NAVAID raw data is monitored.

must be disengaged no later than at 80 ft AGL.
ENGINE OUT
CAT II and CAT III fail passive autoland are only approved in configuration 3 and
FULL, and if engine-out procedures are completed before reaching 1 000 ft in
approach.
AUTOMATIC LANDING
CAT II and CAT III autoland are approved in CONF 3 and CONF FULL.
Automatic landing is demonstrated:
- With CAT II and CAT III ILS beam
- With slope angle within (-2.5, -3.25) range

FUEL AND ADDITIVE SPECIFICATIONS
The fuel system has been certified with JET A1, JP 8, JET A, JP 5, RT, TS-1, JET
B, JP 4 and N3 JET, in accordance with engine manufacturers and fuel
specifications.
The variation is linear between these values (No limitation below 2 250 kg /4 960 lb)
OUTER TANKS
Maximum allowed imbalance 690 kg (1 521 lb)(1)
(1) Maximum outer wing tank imbalance (one full/one empty) is allowed provided:
Fuel content of one side (outer + inner) is equal to the fuel content of the other side
(outer + inner), or
On the side of the lighter outer tank, the inner tank fuel quantity is higher than the
opposite inner tank quantity, up to a maximum of 3 000 kg/6 614 lb higher.
Note:In exceptional conditions (i.e., fuel system failures) the above-
mentioned maximum fuel imbalance values may be exceeded
without significantly affecting the aircraft handling qualities. The
aircraft remains fully controllable in all phases of the flight.

USABLE FUEL
Fuel loading varies with specific fuel gravity without any fuel weight limitation.
Tanks Fuel Quantity
Fuel Weight
Reason: At high altitude with high fuel temperature, the pressure delivered by the
center tank pumps becomes lower than the pressure delivered by the wing tank
pumps.
FUEL MANAGEMENT
- Tanks must be emptied in the following order:
center tank then wing tanks
- Takeoff on center tank is prohibited
FUEL MIXABILITY
The various types of fuel can be mixed in all proportions.
The freezing point of a fuel mixture varies, based on non-linear laws. If required,
determine the fuel freezing point of the fuel mixture.

BRAKES
Maximum brake temperature for takeoff (brake fans off).................................. 300C
The braking system is not designed to hold the aircraft in a stationary position when
a high thrust level is applied on at least one engine. During ground procedures that
require a thrust increase with braking, the flight crew must ensure that the aircraft
remains stationary.
TIRE SPEED
Maximum tire speed: 195 kt (ground speed).
AUTOBRAKE
Use of the autobrake does not relieve the pilot of his responsibility to safely stop
within the available runway length, by taking over brake control with brake pedals, if
necessary.
The flight crew can disengage the automatic braking system by:
- Pressing the pushbutton of the armed mode, or
- Applying sufficient pressure to the brake pedals.
