NAVIGATE
: CONTROL TRAJECTORY: ANALYSE THE PRESENT vs DESIRED TRAJECTORY IN TERMS OF HT AND DIRECTION: DO YOU NEED TO LEVEL OUT/CLB/DES TO A DESIRED LEVEL; WHAT IS TO BE DONE TO FLY THE DESIRED TRK AND THE ABILITY TO MAINTAIN THE CLR LEVEL AND TRACK : HAVING CONTROLLED THE 3D MOTION, DISCUSS THE SIT WITH PM
COMMUNICATE
: HAVING ANALYSED YOUR POSITION AND SITUATION, INFORM ATC/RADAR OF YOUR PROBLEM AND YOUR IMMEDIATE PLAN/INTENTION : DEPENDING ON THE NECESSITY TO COMMUNICATE MINOR ISSUES NOT AFFECTING THE CONTINUATION OF FLT NEED NOT BE ANNOUNCED ISSUES WHICH AFFECT THE SAFETY OF THE FLIGHT OR ABILITY TO FOLLOW THE FLIGHT PLAN, NEEDS TO BE ANNOUNCED WITH IMMEDIATE PLAN AND KIND OF ASSISTANCE/CLEARANCE REQUIRED AFTER THE INITIAL MAYDAY X 3 CALL, ALL SUBSEQUENT CALLS HAVE TO BE PREFIXED WITH MAYDAY-“MAYDAY, DELHI, IFLY001, REQUEST DESCENT”. : IF AUTOMATION AVAILABLE, ASK FOR A HOLD AT A SUITABLE POSITION UNTIL READY FOR APPR : LOSS OF AUTOMATION: IF MCDU & FCU AVAIL, ASK FOR A HOLD AT A DESIRED PLACE IF MCDU AND FCU NOT AVAILABLE, ASK FOR RADAR VECTORS TO KEEP WITHIN 25 NM UNTIL READY FOR APPR

AT LOWER SPEED USE TILLER FOR DIRECTIONAL CONTROL, BUT KEEP IN MIND THAT IT WILL BE MORE SENSITIVE/RESPONSIVE AND SO IT CAN CREATE ITS OWN PROBLEMS IF NOT HANDLED WELL REVERSERS AND BRAKES: FULL REVERSE MAY BE USED UNTIL COMING TO A COMPLETE STOP. BUT, IF THERE IS ENOUGH RUNWAY AVAILABLE AT THE END OF THE DECELERATION, IT IS PREFERABLE TO REDUCE REVERSE THRUST WHEN PASSING 70 KT. THE USE OF FULL REVERSE UNTIL COMPLETE STOP MUST BE REPORTED IN THE LOGBOOK FOR MAINTENANCE ACTION. NOTE: 1. IF THE BRAKE RESPONSE DOES NOT SEEM APPROPRIATE FOR THE RUNWAY CONDITION, FULL MANUAL BRAKING SHOULD BE APPLIED AND MAINTAINED. IF IN DOUBT, TAKE OVERMANUALLY. DO NOT ATTEMPT TO CLEAR THE RUNWAY, UNTIL IT IS ABSOLUTELY CLEAR THAT AN EVACUATION IS NOT NECESSARY AND THAT IT IS SAFE TO DO SO. 2. IF THE AUTOBRAKE IS UNSERVICEABLE, THE CAPTAIN SIMULTANEOUSLY REDUCES THRUST AND APPLIES MAXIMUM PRESSURE ON BOTH PEDALS. THE AIRCRAFT WILL STOP IN THE MINIMUM DISTANCE, ONLY IF THE BRAKE PEDALS ARE MAINTAINED FULLY PRESSED UNTIL THE A/C COMES TO A STOP. Page 32 of 70
AIRBUS A320 - SIM CHK 3. IF NORMAL BRAKING IS INOPERATIVE, IMMEDIATELY APPLY THE LOSS OF BRAKING PROCEDURE 4. AFTER A RTO, IF THE AIRCRAFT COMES TO A COMPLETE STOP USING AUTOBRAKE MAX, RELEASE BRAKES PRIOR TO TAXI BY DISARMING SPOILERS. 5. IF THE TAKEOFF IS REJECTED PRIOR TO 72 KT, THE SPOILERS WILL NOT DEPLOY AND THE AUTO-BRAKE WILL NOT FUNCTION. 6. IF A REJECTED TAKEOFF IS INITIATED AND MAX AUTO BRAKE DECELERATES THE AIRCRAFT, THE CAPTAIN WILL AVOID PRESSING THE PEDALS (WHICH MIGHT BE A REFLEX ACTION). CONVERSELY, IF DECELERATION IS NOT FELT, THE CAPTAIN WILL PRESS THE BRAKE PEDALS FULLY DOWN. EVACUATION: DECISION MAKING AS SOON AS AIRCRAFT IS STOPPED, AND THE PARKING BRAKE IS SET, THE CAPTAIN NOTIFIES THE CABIN CREW AND CALLS FOR ECAM ACTIONS. AT THIS STAGE, THE TASK SHARING IS DEFINED AS FOLLOW: ‐ THE FIRST OFFICER CARRIES OUT THE ECAM ACTIONS UNTIL SHUTTING DOWN THE REMAINING ENGINE: THE F/O CAN SELECT THE ENGINE MASTERSOFF AND PUSH THE FIRE PB, WITHOUT ANY CONFIRMATION FROM THE CAPTAIN. ‐ THE CAPTAIN BUILDS UP HIS DECISION TO EVACUATE DEPENDING ON THE CIRCUMSTANCES. CONSIDERATIONS SHOULD BE GIVEN TO: • FIRE REMAINING OUT OF CONTROL AFTER HAVING DISCHARGED THE AGENTS • POSSIBLE PASSENGER EVACUATION OF THE AIRCRAFT ON THE RUNWAY • COMMUNICATING INTENTIONS OR REQUESTS TO ATC. IF FIRE REMAINS OUT OF CONTROL AFTER HAVING DISCHARGED THE FIRE AGENTS, THE CAPTAIN CALLS FOR THE EMERGENCY EVACUATION PROCEDURE LOCATED IN THE INSIDE BACK COVER OF THE QRH. EXCEPT IF THE EMERGENCY EVACUATION PROCEDURE IS WITHIN THE ECAM PROCEDURE OF THE FAILURE, THE FLIGHT CREW SHOULD APPLY THE NON-SENSED EMERGENCY EVACUATION PROCEDURE ON THE ECAM OR THE QRH PROCEDURE, AS APPROPRIATE. ON GROUND WITH ENGINES STOPPED, ONLY THE RIGHT DOME LIGHT IS OPERATIONAL AND THE THREE POSITIONS (BRT, DIM, OFF) OF THE DOME LIGHT SW REMAIN AVAILABLE, ALLOWING THE EMERGENCY EVACUATION PROCEDURE COMPLETION. WHEN AIRCRAFT IS ON BATTERIES POWER, THE CREW SEATS CAN ONLY BE OPERATED MECHANICALLY. EVACUATION: COMMAND ON PA + HORN AND ALSO INFORM ATC IF NO EVACUATION REQUIRED, MAKE A PA: “CREW AND PASSENGERS PLEASE REMAIN SEATED”. ANY TIME “ATTENTION CREW AT STATIONS” HAS BEEN ANNOUNCED, A SUBSEQUENT CALL OF EITHER“REMAIN SEATED” OR “EVACUATE” IS EXPECTED BY THE CREW. SO TO AVOID THE CREW INITIATING AN EVACUATION THINKING THAT THERE HAS BEEN NO RESPONSE FROM THE COCKPIT, IT IS ADVISABLE TO GIVE A “REMAIN SEATED” CALL IF EVACUATION IS NOT REQUIRED.

THE COMBINATION OF HIGH FLEX TEMPERATURE AND LOW V SPEEDS REQUIRES PRECISE HANDLING DURING THE ROTATION AND LIFT OFF. THE12.5 ° PITCH TARGET WILL ENSURE THE A/C BECOMES AIRBORNE. WHEN SAFELY AIRBORNE: THE SRS ORDERS SHOULD THEN BE FOLLOWED WHICH MAY DEMAND A LOWER PITCH ATTITUDE TO ACQUIRE OR MAINTAIN V2.WITH A ROC AND WHEN THE RADIO HEIGHT HAS INCREASED, THE PNF WILL CALL "POSITIVE CLIMB". THIS WILL SUGGEST TO THE PF FOR LANDING GEAR RETRACTION. SHORTLY AFTER LIFTOFF, THE LATERAL NORMAL LAW COMMANDS SOME RUDDER SURFACE DEFLECTION TO MINIMIZE THE SIDESLIP (THERE IS NO FEEDBACK OF THIS COMMAND TO THE PEDALS). THUS, THE LATERAL BEHAVIOR OF THE AIRCRAFT IS SAFE AND THE PILOT SHOULD NOT BE IN A HURRY TO REACT ON THE RUDDER PEDALS AND TO CHASE THE BETA TARGET. THE BLUE BETA TARGET WILL REPLACE THE NORMAL SIDESLIP INDICATION ON THE PFD. SINCE THE LATERAL NORMAL LAW DOES NOT COMMAND THE FULL NEEDED RUDDER SURFACE DEFLECTION, THE PILOT WILL HAVE TO ADJUST CONVENTIONALLY THE RUDDER PEDALS TO CENTER THE BETA TARGET. WHEN THE BETA TARGET IS CENTERED, TOTAL DRAG IS MINIMIZED EVEN THOUGH THERE IS A SMALL AMOUNT OF SIDESLIP. THE CALCULATION OF THE BETA TARGET IS A COMPROMISE BETWEEN DRAG PRODUCED BY DEFLECTION OF CONTROL SURFACES AND AIRFRAME DRAG PRODUCED BY A SLIGHT SIDESLIP. CENTERING THE BETA TARGET PRODUCES LESS TOTAL DRAG THAN CENTERING A CONVENTIONAL BALL, AS RUDDER DEFLECTION, AILERON DEFLECTION, SPOILER DEPLOYMENT AND AIRCRAFT BODY ANGLE ARE ALL TAKEN INTO ACCOUNT. THE CREW WILL KEEP IN MIND THAT THE YAW DAMPER REACTS TO A DETECTED SIDE SLIP. THIS MEANS THAT, WITH HANDS OFF THE STICK AND NO RUDDER INPUT, THE AIRCRAFT WILL BANK AT ABOUT 5 ° MAXIMUM AND THEN, WILL REMAIN STABILIZED. THUS, LATERALLY, THE AIRCRAFT IS A STABLE PLATFORM AND NO RUSH IS REQUIRED TO LATERALLY TRIM THE AIRCRAFT. CONTROL HEADING CONVENTIONALLY WITH BANK, KEEPING THE BETATARGET AT ZERO WITH RUDDER. ACCELERATE IF THE BETA TARGET CANNOT BE ZEROED WITH FULL RUDDER. TRIM THE RUDDER CONVENTIONALLY. THE USE OF THE AUTOPILOT IS STRONGLY RECOMMENDED. FOLLOWING AN ENGINE FAILURE, THE RUDDER SHOULD BE TRIMMED OUT PRIOR TO AUTOPILOT ENGAGEMENT. ONCE AP IS ENGAGED, THE RUDDER TRIM IS MANAGED THROUGH THE AP AND, HENCE, MANUAL RUDDER TRIM COMMAND, INCLUDING RESET, IS INHIBITED. THRUST CONSIDERATIONS CONSIDER THE USE OF TOGA THRUST, KEEPING IN MIND THE FOLLOWING: • FOR A FLEX TAKEOFF, SELECTING THE OPERATING ENGINE TO TOGA PROVIDES ADDITIONAL PERFORMANCE MARGIN BUT IS NOT A REQUIREMENT OF THE REDUCED THRUST TAKEOFF CERTIFICATION. THE APPLICATION OF TOGA WILL VERY QUICKLY SUPPLY A LARGE THRUST INCREASE BUT THIS COMES WITH A SIGNIFICANT INCREASE IN YAWING MOMENT AND AN INCREASED PITCH RATE. THE SELECTION OF TOGA RESTORES THRUST MARGINS BUT IT MAY BE AT THE EXPENSE OF INCREASED WORKLOAD IN AIRCRAFT HANDLING. • TAKEOFF THRUST IS LIMITED TO 10 MINUTES. INITIATION OF THE PROCEDURE THE PNF WILL CLOSELY MONITOR THE AIRCRAFT'S FLIGHT PATH. HE WILL CANCEL ANY MASTER WARNING/CAUTION AND READ THE ECAM TITLE DISPLAYED ON THE TOP LINE OF Page 35 of 70
AIRBUS A320 - SIM CHK THE E/WD. PROCEDURES ARE INITIATED ON PF COMMAND. NO ACTION IS TAKEN (APART FROM CANCELLING AUDIO WARNINGS THROUGH THE MASTER WARNING LIGHT) UNTIL: • THE APPROPRIATE FLIGHT PATH IS ESTABLISHED AND, • THE AIRCRAFT IS AT LEAST 400 FT ABOVE THE RUNWAY. A HEIGHT OF 400 FT IS RECOMMENDED BECAUSE IT IS A GOOD COMPROMISE BETWEEN THE NECESSARY TIME FOR STABILIZATION AND THE EXCESSIVE DELAY IN PROCEDURE INITIATION. PRIORITY MUST BE GIVEN TO THE CONTROL OF AIRCRAFT TRAJECTORY. ONCE THE PF HAS STABILIZED THE FLIGHT PATH, THE PNF CONFIRMS THE FAILURE AND THE PF ORDERS ECAM ACTIONS. THE FLIGHT CREW SHOULD DELAY THE ACCELERATION FOR SECURING THE ENGINE. AN ENGINE IS CONSIDERED AS SECURED WHEN THE ECAM ACTIONS OF THE PROCEDURES ARE PERFORMED UNTIL: • "ENG MASTER OFF" FOR AN ENGINE FAILURE WITHOUT DAMAGE • "AGENT 1 DISH" FOR AN ENGINE FAILURE WITH DAMAGE • FIRE EXTINGUISHED OR "AGENT 2 DISH" FOR AN ENGINE FIRE NOTE: IF THE DECISION HAS BEEN TAKEN TO DELAY THE ACCELERATION, THE FLIGHT CREW MUST NOT EXCEED THE ENGINE OUT MAXIMUM ACCELERATION ALTITUDE. (THE ENGINE OUT MAXIMUM ACCELERATION ALTITUDE CORRESPONDS TO THE MAXIMUM ALTITUDE THAT CAN BE ACHIEVED WITH ONE ENGINE OUT AND THE OTHER ENGINE(S) OPERATING AT TAKEOFF THRUST FOR A MAXIMUM OF 10MIN.) ACCELERATION SEGMENT AT THE ENGINE-OUT ACCELERATION ALTITUDE, PUSH ALT PBOR PUSH THE V/S KNOB TO LEVEL OFF THE AIRCRAFT AND TO ALLOW THE SPEED TO INCREASE. IF THE AIRCRAFT IS BEING FLOWN MANUALLY, THE PF SHOULD REMEMBER THAT, AS AIRSPEED INCREASES, THE RUDDER INPUT NEEDED TO KEEP THE BETA TGT CENTERED WILL REDUCE. RETRACT THE FLAPS AS NORMAL. WHEN THE FLAP LEVER IS AT ZERO, THE BETA TARGET REVERTS TO THE NORMAL SIDESLIP INDICATION. • AT F SPEED SELECT CONF 1. • AT S SPEED SELECT CONF 0. FINAL TAKEOFF SEGMENT AS THE SPEED TREND ARROW REACHES GREEN DOT SPEED, PULL FOR OPEN CLIMB, SET THR MCT WHEN THE LVR MCT MESSAGE FLASHES ON THE FMA (TRIGGERED AS THE SPEED INDEX REACHES GREEN DOT)AND RESUME CLIMB USING MCT. IF THE THRUST LEVER ARE ALREADY IN THE FLX/MCT DETENT, MOVE LEVER TO CL AND THEN BACK TO MCT. WHEN AN ENGINE FAILURE OCCURS AFTER TAKEOFF, NOISE ABATEMENT PROCEDURES ARE NO LONGER A REQUIREMENT. ADDITIONALLY, THE ACCELERATION ALTITUDE PROVIDES A COMPROMISE BETWEEN OBSTACLE CLEARANCE AND ENGINE THRUST LIMITING TIME. IT ALLOWS THE AIRCRAFT TO BE CONFIGURED TO FLAP 0 AND GREEN DOT SPEED, WHICH PROVIDES THE BEST CLIMB GRADIENT. ONCE ESTABLISHED ON THE FINAL TAKEOFF FLIGHT PATH, CONTINUE THE ECAM (CONSIDER OEB, IF APPLICABLE). WHEN THE STATUS IS DISPLAYED, THE AFTER TAKEOFF/CLIMB CHECKLIST SHOULD BE COMPLETED AND BOTH THE COMPUTER RESET AND ENGINE RELIGHT (IF NO DAMAGE) CONSIDERED. STATUSSHOULD THEN BE REVIEWED. ONE ENGINE OUT FLIGHT PATH THE ONE ENGINE OUT FLIGHT PATH WILL BE FLOWN ACCORDING TO THE TAKEOFF BRIEFING MADE AT THE GATE: • THE EOSID (WITH ATTENTION TO THE DECISION POINT LOCATION), • THE SID, • RADAR VECTORS ENGINE FAILURE DURING INITIAL CLIMB-OUT PROCEED AS ABOVE. HOWEVER, IF THE FAILURE OCCURS ABOVE V2 MAINTAIN THE SRS COMMANDEDATTITUDE (OR THE SPEED REACHED AFTER RECOVERY). IN ANY CASE, THE MINIMUM SPEED MUST BE EQUAL TO V2. Page 36 of 70

AIRBUS A320 - SIM CHK UNRELIABLE SPEED INDICATIONS THE ADRS DETECT MOST OF THE FAILURES AFFECTING THE AIRSPEED OR ALTITUDE INDICATIONS. THESE FAILURESLEAD TO: ‐ LOSE THE ASSOCIATED SPEED OR ALTITUDE INDICATIONS IN THE COCKPIT ‐ TRIGGER THE ASSOCIATED ECAM ALERTS. HOWEVER, THERE MAY BE SOME CASES WHERE AN AIRSPEED AND/OR ALTITUDE OUTPUT IS ERRONEOUS, WHILETHE ADRS DO NOT DETECT IT AS ERRONEOUS. IN SUCH A CASE, NO ECAM ALERT IS TRIGGERED AND THE COCKPITINDICATIONS MAY APPEAR TO BE NORMAL WHEREAS THEY ARE ACTUALLY FALSE. FLIGHT CREW MUST HAVE INMIND THE TYPICAL SYMPTOMS ASSOCIATED WITH SUCH CASES IN ORDER TO DETECT THIS SITUATION EARLY ANDAPPLY THE "UNRELIABLE SPEED INDIC/ADR CHECK PROC" QRH PROCEDURE. THE "UNRELIABLE SPEED INDIC/ADR CHECK PROC" PROCEDURE HAS TWO OBJECTIVES: ‐ TO IDENTIFY AND ISOLATE THE AFFECTED ADR(S) ‐ IF NOT SUCCESSFUL, TO PROVIDE GUIDELINES TO FLY THE AIRCRAFT UNTIL LANDING. IT INCLUDES THE FOLLOWING STEPS: 1. MEMORY ITEMS (IF NECESSARY), 2. TROUBLESHOOTING AND ISOLATION, 3. FLIGHT USING PITCH/THRUST REFERENCES OR THE BACK-UP SPEED SCALE (BUSS, BELOW FL 250), IF THETROUBLESHOOTING HAS NOT ENABLED TO ISOLATE THE FAULTY ADR(S). WHEN TO APPLY THIS PROCEDURE? THE FLIGHT CREW SHOULD CONSIDER APPLYING THE "UNRELIABLE SPEED INDIC/ADR CHECK PROC" PROCEDURE WHEN: ‐ THE "ADR CHECK PROC...APPLY" ACTION LINE IS DISPLAYED ON ECAM, FOR EXAMPLE DUE TO THENAV ADR DISAGREE ECAM ALERT, OR ‐ THE FLIGHT CREW SUSPECTS AN ERRONEOUS INDICATION, WITHOUT ANY ECAM ALERT. THE FLIGHT CREW CAN SUSPECT AN ERRONEOUS SPEED/ALTITUDE INDICATION, IN THE FOLLOWING CASES: 1. A SPEED DISCREPANCY (BETWEEN ADR 1, 2, 3, AND STANDBY INDICATIONS), 2. FLUCTUATING OR UNEXPECTED CHANGES OF THE INDICATED AIRSPEED OR ALTITUDE, 3. ABNORMAL CORRELATION OF BASIC FLIGHT PARAMETERS (PITCH, THRUST, AIRSPEED, ALTITUDE AND VERTICAL SPEED INDICATIONS). 4. AN ABNORMAL BEHAVIOR OF THE AP/FD AND/OR THE A/THR, 5. THE STALL WARNING TRIGGERS, THE OVERSPEED WARNING TRIGGERS, OR THE FLAP RELIEF MESSAGEAPPEARS ON THE E/WD, AND THIS IS IN CONTRADICTION WITH THE INDICATED AIRSPEEDS. IN THIS CASE: • RELY ON THE STALL WARNING. ERRONEOUS AIRSPEED DATA DOES NOT AFFECT THE STALL WARNING,BECAUSE THE STALL WARNING IS BASED ON ANGLE OF ATTACK (AOA) DATA, • DEPENDING ON THE SITUATION, THE OVERSPEED WARNING MAY BE FALSE OR JUSTIFIED. WHEN THEOVERSPEED VFE WARNING TRIGGERS, THE APPEARANCE OF AIRCRAFT BUFFET IS A SYMPTOM THAT THEAIRSPEED IS INDEED EXCESSIVE. 6. THE BAROMETRIC ALTITUDE IS NOT CONSISTENT WITH THE RADIO HEIGHT (WHEN THE RA IS DISPLAYED), 7. THE AERODYNAMIC NOISE REDUCES WHEREAS THE INDICATED AIRSPEED INCREASES, OR VICE VERSA, 8. IN APPROACH, IT IS NOT POSSIBLE TO EXTEND THE LANDING GEAR USING THE NORMAL LANDING GEAR SYSTEM. NOTE: 1. CREW COORDINATION IS IMPORTANT. THE PNF SHOULD CONFIRM ANY DISCREPANCY: ‐ BETWEEN THE STANDBY AIRSPEED INDICATION AND THE SPEED INDICATION ON HIS/HER PFD, ‐ BETWEEN HIS/HER PFD AND THE PILOT FLYING'S PFD. 2. BECAUSE THE BAROMETRIC ALTITUDE MAY BE ERRONEOUS, THE AIRCRAFT MAY NOT BE ABLE TOACCURATELY MAINTAIN LEVEL FLIGHT. IN ADDITION, THE ATC TRANSPONDER MAY TRANSMIT ANINCORRECT ALTITUDE TO ATC OR TO OTHER AIRCRAFT, WHICH CAN LEAD TO CONFUSION. THEREFORE,THE FLIGHT CREW SHOULD ADVISE ATC OF THE SITUATION WITHOUT DELAY.

AIRBUS A320 - SIM CHK GPWS ALERTS THE GROUND PROXIMITY WARNING SYSTEM (GPWS) IS EMBEDDED IN THE T2CAS SYSTEM (TERRAIN ANDTRAFFIC COLLISION AVOIDANCE SYSTEM) AND GENERATES AURAL AND VISUAL WARNINGS, WHEN ONE OF THEFOLLOWING CONDITIONS OCCURS BETWEEN RADIO HEIGHTS 10/30 FT AND 2 450 FT. ‐ MODE 1: EXCESSIVE RATE OF DESCENT ‐ MODE 2: EXCESSIVE TERRAIN CLOSURE RATE ‐ MODE 3: ALTITUDE LOSS AFTER TAKEOFF, OR GO-AROUND ‐ MODE 4: UNSAFE TERRAIN CLEARANCE, WHEN NOT IN LANDING CONFIGURATION ‐ MODE 5: TOO FAR BELOW GLIDESLOPE. IN ADDITION TO THE BASIC GPWS FUNCTIONS, THE GPWS PROVIDES PREDICTIVE FUNCTIONS. THE PREDICTIVEFUNCTIONS ARE BASED ON A WORLDWIDE TERRAIN DATABASE, AND ON THE MODELING OF THE CLIMB PERFORMANCECAPABILITY OF THE AIRCRAFT. THE ALTITUDE USED BY THE GPWS IS COMPUTED BASED ON THE BAROMETRIC ALTITUDE, THE RADIO ALTITUDE ANDTHE GPS ALTITUDE IS ORDER TO REDUCE BARO SETTING ERRORS. DEPENDING ON THE AIRCRAFT POSITION AND PERFORMANCE, IN RELATION TO THE TERRAIN, THE GPWS TRIGGERS: ‐ TERRAIN AHEAD, PULL UP WARNING ‐ AVOID TERRAIN WARNING ‐ TERRAIN AHEAD CAUTION ‐ TOO LOW TERRAIN CAUTION DURING NIGHT OR IMC CONDITIONS, APPLY THE PROCEDURE IMMEDIATELY. DO NOT DELAY REACTION FOR DIAGNOSIS. DURING DAYLIGHT VMC CONDITIONS, WITH TERRAIN AND OBSTACLES CLEARLY IN SIGHT, THE ALERT MAY BE CONSIDERED CAUTIONARY.

STOP DESCENT. CLIMB AND/OR TURN, AS NECESSARY, BASED ONANALYSIS OF ALL AVAILABLE INSTRUMENTS AND INFORMATION. “SINK RATE” OR“DON‟T SINK”:ADJUST PITCH ATTITUDE AND THRUST TO SILENCE THE ALERT. “TOO LOW GEAR” OR“TOO LOW FLAPS”: PERFORM A GO-AROUND.

*** IN STALL RECOVERY, LOWERING THE ATTITUDE/ AIRCRAFT BOX TO THE BIRD IS A GOOD IDEA AS IT WILL IMMEDIATELY UNSTALL THE AIRCRAFT AND THEN SLOWLY RAISE THE AIRCRAFT BOX/ATTITUDE WITH THE „RIDING‟ BIRD (THE BIRD AUTOMATICALLY RISES WITH THE INCREASING SPEED); THIS WAY THE CHANCES OF ANOTHER STALL WARNING COMING UP IS AVOIDED. IN THE LATER PART OF PULL OUT, START OPENING THRUST TO ASSIST BUILD UP OF SPEED.

AIRBUS A320 - SIM CHK ENG FAILURE IN FLIGHT THERE ARE THREE STRATEGIES AVAILABLE FOR DEALING WITH AN ENGINE FAILURE IN THE CRUISE: • THE STANDARD STRATEGY: UNLESS A SPECIFIC PROCEDURE HAS BEEN ESTABLISHED BEFORE DISPATCH (CONSIDERING ETOPS ORMOUNTAINOUS AREAS), THE STANDARD STRATEGY IS USED. • THE OBSTACLE STRATEGY • THE FIXED SPEED STRATEGY: THE FIXED SPEED STRATEGY REFERS TO ETOPS. PROCEDURE: AS SOON AS THE ENGINE FAILURE IS RECOGNIZED, THE PF WILL SIMULTANEOUSLY: • SET ALL THRUST LEVERS TO MCT • DISCONNECT A/THR THEN, PF WILL • SELECT THE SPEED ACCORDING TO THE STRATEGY • IF APPROPRIATE, SELECT A HDG TO KEEP CLEAR OF THE AIRWAY, PREFERABLY HEADING TOWARDS ANALTERNATE. • SELECT THE APPROPRIATE ENGINE INOPERATIVE ALTITUDE IN THE FCU ALT WINDOW AND PULL FOR OPENDES. THEN, PF WILL • REQUIRE THE ECAM ACTIONS AT HIGH FLIGHT LEVELS CLOSE TO LIMITING WEIGHTS, CREW ACTIONS SHOULD NOT BE DELAYED, AS SPEED WILLDECAY QUICKLY REQUIRING PROMPT CREW RESPONSE. THE CREW WILL AVOID DECELERATING BELOW GREEN DOT. THE A/THR IS DISCONNECTED TO AVOID ANY ENGINE THRUST REDUCTION WHEN SELECTING SPEED ACCORDINGTO STRATEGY OR WHEN PULLING FOR OPEN DES TO INITIATE THE DESCENT. WITH THE A/THR DISCONNECTED,THE TARGET SPEED IS CONTROLLED BY THE ELEVATOR WHEN IN OPEN DES. CARRYING OUT THE ECAM ACTIONS SHOULD NOT BE HURRIED, AS IT IS IMPORTANT TO COMPLETE THE DRILLCORRECTLY. GENERALLY, THERE WILL BE SUFFICIENT TIME TO CROSS CHECK ALL ACTIONS. STANDARD STRATEGY SET SPEED TARGET M 0.78/300 KT. THE SPEED OF 0.78/300 KT IS CHOSEN TO ENSURE THE AIRCRAFT IS WITHINTHE STABILISED WINDMILL ENGINE RELIGHT IN-FLIGHT ENVELOPE.THE REC MAX EO CRUISE ALTITUDE, WHICH EQUATES TO LRC WITH ANTI-ICING OFF, IS DISPLAYED ON THEMCDU PROG PAGE AND SHOULD BE SET ON THE FCU. (ONE EO GROSS CEILING AT LONG-RANGESPEED IS ALSO AVAILABLE IN THE QRH IN CASE OF DOUBLE FM FAILURE). IF V/S BECOMES LESS THAN 500 FT/MIN, SELECT V/S -500 FT/MIN AND A/THR ON. THIS IS LIKELY TO OCCUR ASLEVEL OFF ALTITUDE IS APPROACHED. ONCE ESTABLISHED AT LEVEL OFF ALTITUDE, LONG-RANGE CRUISE PERFORMANCE WITH ONE ENGINE OUT MAY BEEXTRACTED FROM QRH OR REFER TO FCOM/PER-OEI-GEN-10 PROCEDURE. OBSTACLE STRATEGY TO MAINTAIN THE HIGHEST POSSIBLE LEVEL DUE TO TERRAIN, THE DRIFT DOWN PROCEDURE MUST BE ADOPTED.THE SPEED TARGET IN THIS CASE IS GREEN DOT. THE PROCEDURE IS SIMILAR TO THE STANDARD STRATEGY, BUT ASTHE SPEED TARGET IS NOW GREEN DOT, THE RATE AND ANGLE OF DESCENT WILL BE LOWER.THE MCDU PERF CRZ PAGE IN EO CONDITION WILL DISPLAY THE DRIFT DOWN CEILING, ASSUMING GREENDOT SPEED AND SHOULD BE SET ON FCU. (ONE ENGINE OUT GROSS CEILING AT GREEN DOT SPEED IS ALSOAVAILABLE IN THE QRH AND FCOM). IF, HAVING REACHED THE DRIFT DOWN CEILING ALTITUDE, OBSTACLE PROBLEMS REMAIN, THE DRIFT DOWNPROCEDURE MUST BE MAINTAINED SO AS TO FLY AN ASCENDING CRUISE PROFILE.WHEN CLEAR OF OBSTACLES, SET LRC CEILING ON FCU, RETURN TO LRC SPEED AND ENGAGE A/THR.

Compliance of these standards does not constitute an approval to conduct CAT II /III operations. Such authorisation must be obtained from DGCA – Refer AOP. Limitations – Auto flight System / Flight Guidance System AUTO- LAND:
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 °, -3.15 °) range. ‐ At or below the maximum landing weight. ‐ For airport elevation at or below 6 500 ft. ‐ At approach speed (VAPP) = VLS + wind correction. Minimum wind correction 5 kt, maximum wind correction 15 kt. Automatic rollout performance has been approved on dry and wet runways, but performance on snow-covered or icy runways has not been demonstrated. One autopilot at least must be engaged in APPR mode and CAT 2 or CAT 3 SINGLE or CAT 3 DUAL capability must be displayed on FMA.
For sharklet aircrafts: In addition: During automatic rollout with one engine inoperative or one thrust reverser inoperative, the flight crew can use the remaining thrust reverser, provided that: ‐ Only IDLE reverse thrust is used
‐ The crosswind does not exceed 15 kt. Auto land with OEI (ENGINE OUT) CAT II and CAT III fail passive autoland are only approved in configuration FULL, and if engine-out procedures are completed before reaching 1 000 ft in approach.

Category III FAIL OPERATIONAL (CAT 3 DUAL) Automatic Approach and Automatic Landing -
Alert height 100 ft.
-
CAT III B with DH Minimum Approach Break-Off height: 25 ft. AGL based on a demonstrated height loss from when TOGA is selected in a go-around and wind speeds of 5 kt. tail, 15 kt. head or below. Two autopilot must be engaged in APPR mode and CAT3 DUAL capability must be displayed on FMA.
-
CAT III B without DH: Two autopilots must be engaged in APPR mode and CAT 3 DUAL capability must be displayed on FMA. Minimum Runway Visual Range (RVR): 75 m
Maximum wind conditions for CAT II or CAT III automatic approach or automatic landing and automatic roll out: Headwind: 30 kt. Tailwind: 10 kt. Crosswind: 20 kt. Crosswind for Shark-lets 20 Kt. for Automatic Approach, Landing (without Automatic Rollout) 15 Kt. for Automatic Roll Note: Wind limitation is based on the surface wind reported by the tower. If the wind displayed on the ND exceeds the above-noted Auto Land limitations, but the tower reports surface wind within the limitations, then the autopilot can remain engaged. If the tower reports a surface wind beyond the limitations, only a CAT I automatic approach without Auto Land can be performed. LIM 22 section of FCOM provides all limitations regarding CAT I, CAT II and III approaches and landings. This also includes precautions to be taken when performing auto-land on Cat 1 ILS beam with good visibility.
Required equipment for CAT 2 and CAT 3 is given in QRH OPS. 04 A

ILS AUTOMATIC LANDING IN CAT I OR BETTER WEATHER CONDITIONS The automatic landing system’s performance has been demonstrated on runways equipped with CAT II or CAT III ILS approaches. However, automatic landing in CAT I or better weather conditions is possible on CAT I ground installations or when ILS sensitive areas are not protected, if the following precautions are taken: ‐ The airline has checked that the ILS beam quality and the effect of terrain profile before the runway have no adverse effect on AP/FD guidance. In particular, the effect of terrain discontinuities within 300 m before runway threshold must be evaluated. ‐ The crew is aware that LOC or GS beam fluctuations, independent of the aircraft systems, may occur and the PF is prepared to immediately disconnect the AP and take appropriate action, should unsatisfactory guidance occur.

During practice approaches, crew should be aware that fluctuations of the LOC and/or GS might occur due to the fact that protection of ILS sensitive areas, which applies during LVP, will not necessarily be in force. It is essential that the PF is prepared to take over manually at any time during a practice approach and roll out, should the performance of AP becomes unsatisfactory.

Disengage AP Causes and contributing factors to upsets > Upset presentation and recognition > Recovery strategies > Emphasis on aerodynamics, flight dynamics and aircraft design principles.
UPRT is one concept with two parts. 1) Upset prevention training 2) Upset recovery training, Upset prevention training is delivered as a combination of Manoeuvre Based Training (MBT) and Scenario Based Training (SBT) As a basic rule manoeuvre based training should precede scenario based training. From a training perspective it is also of interest to examine how the methods of scenario- and manoeuvre based training are linked to the training objectives of prevention and recovery during UPRT. MBT.Recovery exercises assume that prevention has failed and an upset condition exists. The instructor, not the crew, takes responsibility for the creation of the upset condition. SBT: Training scenarios should be designed in a way that crews can develop the core competencies to recognise and manage threats, errors and undesired aircraft states successfully and to achieve a safe outcome .
ENERGY A pilot has three sources of energy available to manage or manipulate the flight path of an airplane.Pilots who understand the airplane energy state will be in a position to know instantly what options they may have to manoeuvre their airplane and therefore manage the trajectory. The three sources of energy are: a Kinetic energy, which increases with increasing airspeed. b Potential energy, which is proportional to altitude. c Chemical energy, from the fuel in the tanks which can be converted to thrust.
These three types of energy can be traded, or exchanged: • Airspeed can be traded for altitude (kinetic to potential energy) • Altitude can be traded for airspeed (potential to kinetic energy) • Thrust can be converted into airspeed and/or altitude (chemical to either kinetic or potential energy)
AIRPLANE UPSET RECOVERY TECHNIQUES Upset recovery techniques can be refined into either: • Nose high • Nose low. This provides the basis for relating the aerodynamic information and techniques to specific situations. Consolidation of recovery techniques into these two situations is done for simplification and ease of retention.Autopilots (A/P) and auto thrust (A/THR) are generally intended to be used when the airplane is within its normal flight envelope. If the A/P and/or A/THR are responding correctly to a flight path and/or energy divergence, it may not be appropriate to decrease the level of automation. Adhere to OEM guidance.If the A/P and A/THR are not responding correctly they must be disconnected.
The first actions for recovering from an airplane upset must be correct and timely. It is very important for the crew to realise the differences in airplane handling at low altitude, versus high altitude (less thrust/power available and more sensitive flight controls). Managing startle is imperative all the time, but particularly in high altitude conditions where the pilot has the least amount of hands on experience to manipulate the airplane. The key point is to use gentle control inputs and not arbitrary control inputs. Exaggerated control inputs through reflex responses must be avoided. An excessive or inappropriate control input that overshoots the desired response can startle the pilot and cause one upset to lead to another.

AIRBUS NOTES ON HIGH ALTITUDE HANDLING
Airbus: This OTT provides recommendations on training techniques, procedures or programs to operators. DESCRIPTION OF EXERCISES – HIGH ALTITUDE HANDLING
a. Objective 1. The instructor should remind the crew that this is a handling exercise to maintain their proficiency. 2. The instructor should also remind the crew that a loss of automation may be startling but that minimal inputs are required to maintain the safe flight-path in such a case. 3. Knowledge of the normal pitch and thrust values is of great importance. 4. Both pilots should practice the exercises with an emphasis on discovering the handling characteristics associated with the corresponding flight control law. 5. They should also gain a better understanding of High Altitude Handling in particular the Detection and Recognition of the degraded situation if any. 6. Repeat the exercise for each pilot until they are ready to continue. b. Normal Law at high altitude 1. Select an aircraft weight that results in a recommended maximum altitude (REC MAX) at 2000ft below the aircraft certified ceiling. Position the simulator close to this REC MAX. 2. Position the aircraft as described above, with normal operations and a Mach number according to Cost Index. 3. Set AP/FD and A/THR to OFF. Flight Path Vector OFF.
Revert to Alternate Law. 1. Set AP/FD and A/THR to OFF. Flight Path Vector OFF. 2. Repeat the Normal Law handling exercises described above but this time in Alternate Law.

ALL FLIGHT CREW FLIGHT OPERATIONS FLIGHT OPERATIONS DECEMBER 18, 2020 UNTIL WITHDRAWN SUBJECT: RNP APPROACHES
Reason for Issue: This document has been prepared to provide guidance on conduct of RNP approach. It draws from and conforms with DGCA Operations Circular 11 of 2014 and 12 of 2014 and includes FAQs related to RNP Approaches. Description: This document includes guidance material on: 1. Definitions 2. Pilot Certification & Authorization 3. Aircraft Approval 4. RNP APCH – Equipment Required 5. RNP Approach Minima 6. Approach Guidance 7. Standard Operating procedures 8. Management of degraded Navigation 9. Standard Callouts 10. Use of AP/FDs 11. FAQs on RNP Approaches 1. DEFINITIONS i.
• •
RNP Approaches (RNP APCH) include: LNAV Approaches: Instrument approaches that use on-boards systems for Lateral Navigation only. LNAV-VNAV / Baro-VNAV / Approach Procedure with Vertical-guidance (APV) Approaches: Instrument approach procedures which utilize lateral and vertical guidance but do not meet the requirements established for precision approach and landing operations. (ICAO Doc 9163/DGCA OC-12/2014)
Note: 1) The RNP APCH specification: Is based on GNSS to support RNP APCH operations down to LNAV or LNAV/VNAV (Baro-VNAV) minima. Requires on-board performance monitoring and alerting. Note: There are no RNP APCH requirements for the missed approach if it is based on conventional means (VOR, DME, NDB). ii. Aircraft Based Augmentation System (ABAS): An augmentation system that augments and/or integrates the information obtained from other GNSS elements with information available on board the aircraft. The most common form of ABAS is Receiver Autonomous Integrity Monitoring (RAIM). IndiGo Airbus A320/A321 are ABAS capable through the RAIM function. Page 1 of 13
INTERGLOBEAVIATION LIMITED
OPERATIONS NOTICE (AIRBUS)
FLT/OPS/N No: 57
iii.
Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS): Any global position, speed, and time determination system including: • One or more main satellite constellations, such as Global Positioning System (GPS) and the Global Navigation Satellite System (GLONASS). • Aircraft receivers and • Several integrity monitoring systems including - Aircraft Based Augmentation System (ABAS), - Satellite-Based Augmentation System (SBAS) e.g. GAGAN (India), EGNOS (Europe), WAAS (US) etc. - Ground-based augmentation systems (GBAS), such as the Local Area Augmentation System -LAAS Note: IndiGo Airbus A320/A321 aircraft are currently not SBAS or GBAS capable.
iv.
Receiver Autonomous Integrity Monitoring (RAIM): A technique used in a GNSS receiver / processor to determine the integrity of its navigation signals, using only GPS signals or GPS signals enhanced with barometric upper-air data. This determination is achieved by a consistency check between pseudo-range measurements. At least one additional available satellite is required with respect to the number of satellites that are needed to obtain the navigation solution. RAIM levels required for RNP APCH down to LNAV or LNAV/VNAV minima can be verified either through NOTAMs (where available) or through prediction services. When the operation is predicated on the availability of ABAS, the pilot should perform a new RAIM availability check if ETA is more than 15 minutes different from the ETA used during the preflight planning. This check is also processed automatically 2 NM before the FDP for an E/TSO-C129a Class A1 receiver. In the event of a predicted, continuous loss of appropriate level of fault detection of more than five minutes for any part of the RNP APCH operation, the flight planning should be revised (e.g. planning a different procedure or delaying the departure when RNP procedure/s are the only option).
v.
RNP Value: The RNP value designates the lateral performance requirement associated with a procedure. Examples of RNP values are: RNP 0.3 and RNP 1. The RNP Value and the Estimated Position Uncertainity (EPU) are displayed on the MCDU PROG page. • If the EPU does not exceed the RNP, the accuracy is HIGH • If the EPU exceeds the RNP, accuracy is LOW.
vi.
Waypoint (WPT). A specified geographical location used to define an area navigation route or the flight path of an aircraft employing area navigation. Waypoints area identified as either: Fly-by waypoint - A waypoint which requires turn anticipation to allow tangential interception of the next segment of a route or procedure. Fly over waypoint - A waypoint at which a turn is initiated in order to join the next segment of a route or procedure.

2. PILOT CERTIFICATION & AUTHORIZATION •
•
Initial Clearance: - Ground Class of 01:00 hour as specified in Company Operations Manual D – Annex 02. This class is usually combined with a longer class which encompasses all aspects of PBN and ADS-B. - Simulator session of minimum 01:00 hour (PF = 00:30, PM = 00:30) as specified in Company Operations Manual D. Once the pilot has completed all pre-requisites for RNP Clearance the same is updated in their DVC under Special Qualifications. Recency Requirement: - Ground Refresher in accordance with CAR Section 8, Series F, Part II - No separate Simulator / Line Recurrent Training is required. Company Operations Manual D will be amended to reflect the same.
3. AIRCRAFT APPROVAL Currently, all IndiGo aircraft are approved for RNP APCH (LNAV & LNAV/VNAV). MSN specific approvals are part of onboard EFBs under OLB – Approvals. 4. RNP APCH – EQUIPMENT REQUIRED The minimum equipment required to start an RNP APCH include: • • • • • • • •
01 FMGC 01 MCDU 01 FD 01 GPS 01 PFD (PF Side) 02 ND (Temporary display of ND information via PFD/ND switch is permitted on PM side) 02 IRS 02 FCU Channels
5. RNP APCH MINIMA: (a) LNAV minima are expressed in terms of MDA and RVR/Visibility and are used: When only a LNAV Minima is specified for the approach. When FPA (Vertically-Selected) guidance is used. ‐ The FMS vertical profile does not take into account the effect of low OAT. Therefore, FINAL APP (Fully Managed) guidance: • Must not be used when the actual OAT is below the minimum temperature indicated on the approach chart or defined by the Operator, or • May not be used when temperature corrections are required (FINAL APP mode may not engage). Note: If airport OAT is above Approach Chart Maximum Temperature, use of FINAL APP is not authorised. Only NAV-FPA may be used down to LNAV Minima. Aircraft true altitude will be higher than indicated. ‐ If a TOO STEEP PATH is displayed after the Final Descent Point (FDP), do not use FINAL APP guidance for approach. Use NAV FPA for approach.

FAQs on RNP APPROACHES How do RNP APCHs help in Fuel Saving? RNP APCHs are designed to provide point to point navigation. It is particularly beneficial to opt for RNP APCHs in a non-radar environment where it helps in reducing the track miles to land when compared to procedural approaches (Overhead or DME-ARC). Moreover, RNP APCHs offer the option to track direct to IF thereby providing the shortest route to FDP. I was cleared for RNP APCHs back in 2014 when it was first introduced in IndiGo. Is that clearance still valid? Pilots who were earlier cleared for RNP APCHs in the same capacity as which they are currently flying (i.e. Captain / First Officer) need not undergo the training a second time. The clearance would reflect under Special Qualifications of the DVC. However, recency requirements stated in Company OM-D must be adhered to. It is strongly recommended for such individuals to undertake the Flyco e-learning module to refresh their knowledge and clarify any doubts. I was cleared for RNP APCHs as a First Officer and was recently upgraded to Captain. Is my clearance still valid? RNP APCH Training involves a ground class of 01:00 hour which is common to Captains and First Officers. The Simulator Training of 01:00 hour, like all other Special Operations Training, are however seat specific. Hence one must undergo the Simulator Training once again. I was cleared for RNP APCHs as part of my PBS session. Is that clearance still valid? As long as the RNP APCH ground class of 01:00 hour was completed prior to the RNP APCH simulator training, the clearance is valid irrespective of whether it was conducted as a separate session or along with the PBS. Individual DVCs are updated accordingly. How is RNP APCH different from RNP AR APCH According to ICAO Doc 9613 – Performance Based Navigation Manual (PBN Manual), there are two types of navigation specifications for approach operations: (i) RNP approach (RNP APCH) and (ii) RNP authorisation required approach (RNP AR APCH) e.g. Kathmandu RNP Rwy 02 AR. Special aircraft and aircrew authorization are required from regulatory authorities for RNP-AR Approaches. IndiGo is currently not approved to conduct RNP-AR Approaches. Is the RNP value required for an RNP approach displayed to the pilot? The RNP is displayed in the REQUIRED field of the MCDU - PROG page. The displayed RNP is (in decreasing order of priority) - Value entered by the flight crew - Navigation database procedure value - Default system value When a flight crew enters an RNP that is higher than the published value, one of the following messages is displayed: "PROCEDURE RNP IS XX.XX", or "AREA RNP IS XX.XX". When this occurs, the flight crew should verify the RNP value that was manually entered in the REQUIRED field of the PROG page, and clear or modify it if necessary.

Where can we check the GPS RAIM NOTAMs for Outages? GPS RAIM NOTAMs are provided under UNCATEGORISED section of the FIR NOTAMS as part of the Briefing Folder. How and when is a RAIM check performed? Predicted RAIM at destination (MCDU – PROG – PREDICTIVE GPS) is to be checked by the pilots • During pre-flight checks • During approach preparation if the ETA has changed by more than SKED +/- 15 minutes Additionally, in case of E/TSO-C129a Class A1 receivers installed on all IndiGo A320 aircrafts, an auto check is performed 2 NM before FDP. If RAIM is lost after FDP it continues to provide navigation for up to 5 minutes before triggering RAIM LOST indications. Jeppesen Charts for RNP APCH into VAAH & VOCI are labelled as RNP Y APCHs. However charts for RNP APCH into OMDB and OMSJ are labelled as RNAV (GNSS) APCHs. Why the difference? As per ICAO Circular 336 until 30-Nov-2022, Approach Charts depicting procedures that meet the RNP APCH Navigation specification criteria must include either the term RNP or RNAV (GNSS) in the identification. However, from 01-Dec-2022 only the term RNP will be permitted. Hence from a pilots operational perspective both approaches are identical and qualification requirements for both remain identical as that specified above. Why do RNP APCHs have a temperature limitation mentioned on the Jeppesen Charts? For aircraft using barometric vertical navigation without temperature compensation to conduct the approach, cold temperature limits are reflected in the procedure design and identified along with any high temperature limits on the charted procedure. Cold temperatures reduce the actual glidepath angle, while high temperatures increase the glidepath angle. When the temperature is higher than standard (temperature under international standard atmospheric (ISA) conditions)), the aircraft will be flying above the indicated altitude. When the temperature is below the standard, the aircraft will be flying below the altitude indicated in the altimeter.
Q11 A11
Q12 A12
Temperature Limitation - Because of the pronounced effect of nonstandard temperature on baro-VNAV operations, instrument approach procedures will contain a temperature limitation below which the use of a vertical navigation decision altitude (VNAV DA) based on baro-VNAV is not authorized. Approaches must then be performed using LNAV Minima and FPA (Vertically Selected) guidance. Do all RNP APCHs need to be Early Stabilized? Decelerated Approach technique is preferred for RNP Approaches flown using FINAL APP (Fully Managed) guidance. However, use of Early Stabilized Approach technique may be necessary due to reasons such as low intermediate approach altitude, vertical descent angle more than 3.5 degrees, tail wind greater than 10 kts, aircraft abnormal procedure, etc. Early Stabilized Approach technique is mandatory when FPA (Vertically Selected) guidance is used. What is the maximum acceptable discrepancy between altimeters? Maximum tolerance accepted during Preliminary Cockpit Preparation ±20 ft between both PFDs And depending on the aircraft configuration: ±100 ft between ISIS and PFDs, or ±300 ft between mechanical standby altimeter and PFDs. Maximum acceptable discrepancy between altimeters prior to commencing RNP Approach is 100 ft. Page 9 of 13

FLT/OPS/N No: 57
For use of FINAL APP guidance during approach what is the tolerance between MCDU and charted procedure? To use FINAL APP guidance for approach • 0.1 degree of difference between the MCDU and the charted final vertical path is acceptable • 1 degree of difference between the MCDU and the charted final lateral track is acceptable Can the flight crew modify SPD & ALT constraints for a RNP APCH that are programmed on the MCDU F/PLN page? The constraints coded as part of NAV Database must match those on the Jeppesen Approach Charts. In case of any discrepancy the chartered constraints take precedence and can be manually inserted by the flight crew. IAF and IF constraints could be modified / disregarded only in coordination with ATC. However, do not modify the final approach (FDP to Runway or MAP), including altitude constraints.

Q16 A16
Q17 A17
Q18 A18
Additionally in case of an Early Stabilized Approach it is recommended to insert Vapp as a SPD constraint at the FDP to obtain a valuable deceleration pseudo waypoint and to ensure a timely deceleration. Can we accept DIRECT-TO Intermediate Fix (IF) when cleared by ATC? DIR-TO Intermediate Fix (IF) is permitted provided the resulting track change at IF does not exceed 45 degrees i.e. {(Current Aircraft Track) - (Track from IF to FDP)} must be a maximum of 45 degrees. Eg. For VAAH RNP Y RWY 05: Current Aircraft Track 015 degrees, cleared DIR-TO IF – ACCEPTABLE (Track Change = 30 degrees) Current Aircraft Track 090 degrees, cleared DIR-TO IF – ACCEPTABLE (Track Change = 45 degrees) Current Aircraft Track 180 degrees, cleared DIR-TO IF – NOT PERMITTED (Track Change = 135 degrees) Current Aircraft Track 320 degrees, cleared DIR-TO IF – NOT PERMITTED (Track Change = 85 degrees) When does one press the APPR pb on FCU? Press the APPR pb when all of the following conditions are satisfied: • The aircraft is cleared for approach • TO waypoint is the Final Descent Point. If APPR pb is pressed earlier, FINAL APP mode may engage. As a consequence, resulting speed and altitude management in FINAL APP may be inappropriate before FDP. What must we check after the APPR pb is armed? On the FMA APP NAV..........................................................................................CHECK ARMED or ENGAGED FINAL.............................................................................................. CHECK ARMED (BLUE) Additionally, ‐ Check that the V/DEV scale is displayed on the PFD. ‐ At the Final Descent Point, a blue arrow on ND indicates that FINAL APP engagement conditions are met. Is the Distance – Height check referenced to VOR – DME or Runway Threshold? The Distance – Height check for RNP APCHs are always referenced to Runway Threshold. This can be read of the top right of ND after crossing FDP (TO WPT). Alternately use the R/W Threshold that has been inserted on PROG Page for position monitoring during Approach Preparation.

When can we not follow the published RNP Missed Approach? If RNP capability is lost (Degradation of Lateral Navigation), the published RNP Missed Approach Procedure must not be flown. Crew must plan, during Approach Preparation, and be prepared to follow a Missed Approach based on conventional navaids, if available, in case of degradation. Coordinate with the ATC. Radar Vectors may be requested in a radar environment. Is it mandatory to discontinue approach in case of deviation of 75 ft above the vertical path? One must discontinue approach in case of deviation of 75 ft below the vertical path (V/DEV >3/4 dot) unless adequate visual references established and approach may be continued safely. If above the vertical path, one can take appropriate action to re-establish the aircraft on profile within the limits of the stabilization-criteria as per Company Policy, failing which a Go-Around is mandatory. What would be the appropriate action in case of degradation of Navigation Capability but Adequate Visual References have been established? In the above scenario, if external visual references are sufficient to continue the approach safely, one can continue and land. Can we plan and execute RNP APCHs into all airfields for which Approach Plates are available in Jeppesen and the corresponding approach is correctly coded in the FMS NAV Database? Few of the RNP APCHs included in the FMS NAV Database are for trial purposes. List of the same are available in C-NOTAM 04 series (NAV DATABASE BULLETIN). Pilots are informed not to select the mentioned approaches. As per Company Operations Manual C for VEPT R/W 25 NPA APCHs require prior approval from SVPFlight Operations. Are we legal to fly the VEPT RNP Y RWY 25? Both LNAV / VNAV as well as LNAV APCHs are permitted for VEPT RNP Y RWY 25. Company Operations Manual will be amended to clarify the same. What are the conditions for FINAL APP mode engagement? FINAL APP mode engages when: • NAV or APP NAV is engaged, • FINAL is armed (by pressing APPR on the FCU), • Predictions are available in FMS, • APPROACH phase is active, Note: APPROACH phase may have to be manually activated on MCDU PERF page if the approach starts at high altitude above aerodrome level (i.e. RNAV(RNP) approaches). • The aircraft is within the capture area of the FMS profile: Laterally: ±1.5 NM from the Final Descent Point. Vertically: +150 ft above the Final Descent Point. • The aircraft intercepts a descending leg of the vertical flight path. Can we use the LPV minima shown on an RNP APCH chart? LPV Approaches require SBAS capability which IndiGo aircraft do not currently possess. Therefore, LPV minima are not to be used. LPV minima are not included in the Company Aerodrome Minima Folder. The RNP Briefing Guide also states that one must check predicted RAIM at destination on PREDICTIVE GPS page. Are we legal to commence the approach if we do not get the Y Y Y Y Y Y confirmation at ETA +/- 15 minutes? If this check fails when done as part of the pre-flight checks, one can proceed to the destination as long as the destination has an alternate approach which uses conventional RADIO NAVAIDs.

If unsuccessful when done as part of the Approach Preparation one can still plan for the RNP APCH as long as GPS PRIMARY is available. In case of E/TSO-C129a Class A1 receivers installed on all IndiGo A320 aircrafts, an auto check is performed 2 NM before FAF which is adequate to confirm Navigation Accuracy for the approach.
Q27 A27
Q28 A28
Q29 A29 Q30 A30
In the Final Approach Segment, NAV ACCUR DOWNGRAD message (for both FMS) on the MCDU or ND would be the only condition that warrants discontinuing the approach. Is the L-DEV scale mandatory for RNP APCHs? The L-DEV scale is not a mandatory indication for RNP APCH with FINAL APP guidance. X-TRACK Error indication on 2 NDs is required for RNP APCH with FINAL APP or FPA guidance. L-DEV indication is mandatory only for RNP-AR APCHs. L-DEV indication is available in the simulators and will be available on RNP-AR capable aircraft. When would I need to do an LNAV Only Approach? An LNAV Only approach would be flown in the following scenarios • If OAT is below the Minimum Temperature specified on the chart. • QNH available is that of a remote station. • If the vertical descent profile on the F/PLN page of FMGC differs from the charted procedure by more than 0.1 degrees. • If F/PLN page of FMGC shows “TOO STEEP PATH” beyond the final descent point (FDP). • If the chart only has a LNAV procedure. Minimum Equipment Required to Start an RNP APCH states a requirement for 01 FMS & 01 GPS. However, the IndiGo RNP APCH Briefing Guide lists the need for 02 FMS & 02 GPS receivers as part of the “Pre-Flight Checks”. Why the discrepancy? Disregard the requirement of 02 FMS & 02 GPS receivers mentioned in the briefing guide. It will be corrected in the next edition. Can the AP/FDs be kept on below the minima on a RNP approach? For RNP approaches using the “FINAL APP” guidance the crew may elect to keep the FDs on below the minima. From Minima down to the MAP the FDs provide an additional guidance. At the MAP the FMA will change from “ FINAL APP” to HDG-V/S along with a triple click and FDs then become irrelevant and should be disregarded. RNP APCH briefing in the briefing guide advices the crew to switch off FDs at Minima. This maybe disregarded and the crew may elect to keep FDs on uptil the MAP. Briefing guide will be corrcted in the next revision.
Q31 A31
The AP must be must be disconnected by AP Minimum Use Height or MAP, whichever is higher. For Minimum Use Height of the AP, Refer to LIM-AFS-10 Autopilot Function Can the FDs be kept on below minima for all approaches that use “ FINAL APP” guidance? In addition to the RNP Approach, approved VOR and NDB approaches can also be done using the “ FINAL APP” guidance. However, since in most cases of VOR or NDB approaches the Final approach track is not completely aligned with the runway the crew should not use FDs below the minima for fully managed VOR and NDB approaches.

SUBJECT: SECURITY PROCEDURES – UNLAWFUL INTERFERENCE Reason for Issue Operations Manual Part A, Chapter 36 contains generic guidance material for the flight crew in case they face unlawful interference. This NOTAC contains specific procedures to be followed by IndiGo flight crew and other personnel in case of a hijack. This document is considered SECRET and will not be published on the portal. It will be issued by Flight Operations individually under signature to flight crew and other personnel who need to know its contents. The contents of this notice are for the information of bonafide recipients only and should not be shared with others. Operations Action Recommended 1.
Policy on Handling Aircraft Hijack Situation 1.1. Introduction This Policy has been developed based on the guidelines provided by the Bureau of Aviation Security (BCAS) for the purpose of assisting all agencies involved in civil aviation to respond effectively and expeditiously to a hijack situation. The Policy has been drafted keeping in view guidelines issued by the ICAO and the Contingency Plan approved by the Cabinet Committee on Security (CCS). It addresses best practices to be implemented in the event of a hijack. This is sought to be achieved by clearly laying down the response expected in a hijack situation by various agencies involved, keeping in view the guidelines laid down by BCAS. The basic objectives at all times remains release of the hostages without harm or loss of property or capitulation to demands inimical to national security. 1.2. Types Of Unlawful Seizure The following would be the types of unlawful seizure of an aircraft on the ground or in flight in which the Contingency Plan would be activated. a. Indian Registered aircraft after hijacking lands at an Indian Airport. b. Indian Registered aircraft after hijacking is being taken outside the country. c. Indian Registered aircraft after hijacking lands at a foreign airport. d. A foreign registered aircraft after hijacking lands at an Indian airport. e. An aircraft is hijacked for being used as missile to attack strategic targets.

The executive responsibility for crisis management would rest with the Central Committee chaired by the DGCA, and the Aerodrome Committee, functioning under its guidance/supervision at the airport level, where the hijacked aircraft lands. Necessary authority and resources would be available to the Aerodrome Committee for taking on the spot decisions and actions based on the assessment of the ground situation 1.3. Other Categories of Unlawful Interference Besides the hijack situations contemplated in Para 1.1.1, the following acts of unlawful interference against an aircraft/airport can be visualized: a. City side/land side: Car borne attacks involving terrorists/ fidayeen elements using explosives at the alighting area; possibility of terrorists/ fidayeen elements intruding into reception areas, check in areas, SHA and into the air side; Terrorists/ fidayeens using modes other than vehicles engaging in the same kind of activity. Attacks against vital installations on the city side. Acts of sabotage on the city side including car bombs in parking areas. b. Entry through perimeter areas Into the air side followed by attacks on aircraft in parking bays as well as vital installations. c. Vital installations Attacks on such installations on either side d. Contiguous areas beyond AAI perimeter Missile attacks/ or use of standoff weapons against aircraft/ facilities from outside the airport perimeter particularly the funnel areas. e. Criminal activity in and around airports Such activity could act as a facilitator for terrorist attacks. (Some of these attacks could involve hostage taking) Such acts would be resolved within the framework for handling internal security incidents by the State Government through an integrated response system, which incorporates the first reaction role of QRTs (Quick Reaction Teams) at the airports, since these situation are similar to situations of such unlawful acts against any vital installation, public utility etc. 2.
On Line Response to Hijack Of an Aircraft 2.1. Objective Near instantaneous intimation of occurrence of a hijack to those concerned with crisis management and immediate response by the latter by way of decisions/actions is of the essence. 2.2. Instantaneous Communication 2.2.1 Role of Pilot /Crew In case of an unlawful interference, entry to the cockpit is not permitted and must be prevented at any cost. Page 2 of 8

In the event of a hijack, the Lead Cabin Attendant is to advise the Captain, as soon as possible, on the interphone system about the hijacker(s) presence in the cabin. She should be aware that there may be other as yet unidentified (sleeper) hijackers on board. In case a hijacker wants to force entry into the cockpit, the Cabin Attendants are required to contact the cockpit and use the following code: “Captain, please UNLOCK the door.” The word UNLOCK is critical. In such a situation, cockpit entry will be denied. On receipt of the hijack code from the cabin attendant, the crew will: a. Immediately notify the appropriate ATS Unit of being subjected to unlawful interference and any significant circumstance associated therewith and any deviation from the flight plan necessitated in order to enable the ATS Unit to give priority to the aircraft and to minimize conflict with operations of other aircraft. b. When circumstances prevent clear and concise radio transmissions, for example, if the hijacker(s) has gained access to cockpit, the following discrete communications message/procedure, if possible, may be used: VHF communication is set up as follows: The Captain: Ensure the captain’s speaker is off. Use his headset. Monitor emergency frequency 121.5 MHz on No. 2 transceiver. The First Officer will: Monitor ATC on No.1 transceiver. Place the first officer’s speaker ON to give the hijacker the impression that he is receiving all transmissions. c. Operate the Secondary Surveillance Radar (SSR) transponder, if the aircraft is equipped with the same, in order to indicate that it is threatened by grave and imminent danger and require immediate assistance: i. On Mode A, Code 7500, to indicate specifically that it' is being hijacked or subjected to unlawful interference. ii. On Mode B, Code 7700, to indicate that the situation is grave and immediate assistance is required. d. Adhere to the following procedures if the pilot is unable to notify the ATS Unit of the unlawful interference: i. Unless considerations aboard the aircraft dictate otherwise, attempt to continue flying on the assigned track and at the assigned cruising level at least until he/she is able to notify an ATS Unit or comes within radar coverage. ii. If the pilot departs from his assigned track or assigned cruising level without being able to make radiotelephony contact with the ATS, he should:a. Attempt to broadcast a warning on the VHF channel in use or VHF emergency frequency and other appropriate frequencies unless considerations aboard the aircraft dictate otherwise. b. Use the ACARS 7500 RPT to communicate emergency information in the form of an encrypted message. Page 3 of 8

Other equipment such as on-board transponders, data links, etc., should also be used when it is advantageous to do so and circumstances permit; and Proceed in accordance with applicable special procedures for in-flight contingencies, as mentioned in Operations Manual, Part A, Para 36.1.9.3 Crew may use any secret facility installed in the aircraft i.e., cellular phones/satellite based phones to communicate with the ground. The Commander/crew will endeavor to extract as much information about the hijackers as possible, and make every possible effort to communicate the description, number of offenders and arms carried by them and their intentions to the ATC and all other relevant developments/information. Predetermined codes may also be used for this purpose. The crew may send an ACARS 7500 RPT to communicate details of the situation in an encrypted message. The commander of the aircraft, as directed by the ATC and without jeopardizing the safety of aircraft, shall make all efforts to land at an Indian airport, preferably an airport designated for this purpose, namely Mumbai, Kolkata, Chennai, Thiruvananthapuram, Nagpur, Hyderabad, Ahmedabad, Bengaluru, Guwahati, Chandigarh, Jaipur and Lucknow. Pilots / crew should be aware of the various actions which would be taken by the ground team for the immobilization of the aircraft, cordoning it etc. in such a crisis. Refer para 3.1.1 a (i) & (ii) below. The Commander of the hijacked aircraft should contact his airline at the earliest on VHF/ HF or DATA link and pass on details of the situation and his intention.
Immediate Ground Response
The Commander should anticipate that security forces (BCAS etc.), who have the necessary powers, will begin to exercise their powers and their authority to control the future course of events as soon as the incident is reported. From this point, responsibility of the Commander diminishes and he adheres to the lawful instructions of the police or security forces to the extent that he considers it to be consistent with the safety of the aircraft, passengers and crew. 3.1 Inter Agency Combined First Response At Affected Airport Following action will be taken forthwith on receipt of information by the concerned functionaries without waiting for any instructions or decisions of the Central Committee/COSAH/CCS. a. Action by In-charge Aerodrome (Airport Operator): i.
ii.
Immediate action to immobilize a hijacked Indian registered aircraft which lands at an Indian airport. Prior to immobilization, efforts will be made, to first direct the Aircraft to an Isolated Parking Bay, for this purpose. Employ possible strategies/ methods for immobilizing the aircraft including:– Positioning of obstacles on the runway like vehicles / fire tenders; – Deflating of tyres by personnel coming from rear end; – Putting off the lights of the runway/ taxi track (at night); Page 4 of 8

Any other means, without endangering the safety of the aircraft and the security of passengers. Establish a controlled area covering the main incident area. Within the controlled area, an inner cordon should be established surrounding the actual incident with a Forward Control Point to control all access to the inner cordon. The inner cordon is normally armed. The purpose of the inner cordon is to isolate the incident and prevent access to the incident by the public or press and contain any breakout by the perpetrators. Access to the inner cordon will be permitted only with the concurrence of the Forward Control Point commander. It is important that the Forward Control Point be mobile; The Forward Control Point (FCP) shall be manned by an AAI Communication Officer, Dy. CASO and Airline Officer deputed by IndiGo Airport Manager. Arrange catering for passengers; Arrange the immediate induction of the Bomb Disposal Squad at the airport. Position Fire tenders as per the prescribed drill.
b. Contact with pilot i.

Contact with the pilot of the hijacked aircraft shall be established only by the ATC, Chairman Aerodrome Committee, the Negotiating Team and the Chairman Central Committee. No other official / person shall establish contact with the pilot of the hijacked aircraft. Advance Preparedness at the Airport
4.1 Meet Requirement Of Aircraft Commander As the Commander is responsible for the safety of the passengers, crew and aircraft, his requirements will be ascertained and met whenever possible by In-charge Aerodrome and ATCO as the case may be. 4.2 Provide Administrative Arrangements The In-charge Aerodrome (Airport Operator) with the help of other agencies will make arrangements for: a. Adequate number of mobile emergency lights for use in any contingency or in case it is decided to surround the aircraft by strong spotlights and floodlights at night to prevent the perpetrators from observing the activities in the adjacent area; b. Food, water, fuel and other requirements of the crew and passengers of the affected aircraft. c. Positioning of fire/ crash tenders and other emergency services at strategic points; 4.3 Advance Preparedness By Interglobe Aviation Ltd (Indigo) The InterGlobe Aviation Ltd (IndiGo) Airport Manager/OCC will be responsible for: a. Ensure that the flight crew is supplied with a condensed kit of valid emergency navigation material for locations, which are not normally on route. This technical navigational emergency kit will assist the crew to land the aircraft safely at an airport with which they are not familiar. Onboard Jeppesen Page 5 of 8

documents comprising Jeppesen enroute and approach charts, airport directory, ATC and Emergency Sections fulfill this need. b. Fill in the prescribed Performa of unlawful interference and forward the same, along with the written report of the pilot-in-command, to the Appropriate Authority, i.e. BCAS by the quickest possible means. c. Ensure that the crew are trained to observe the following norms in handling the hijackers: DO's
Keep hijackers calm and well composed. Do not allow hijackers into the cockpit, using tact and diplomacy. Make a mental note and if possible, give the Pilot in Command (PIC) a description of the hijackers and weapons being carried. Calm the hijackers and reassure them by showing concern and willingness to cooperate. Offer fluids and food as often as possible. Attempt to talk hijackers into abandoning their plans In the event of landing at an airport either on the direction of the hijackers or for refueling and servicing, the crew should: – Maintain contact with the authorities at the airport – Report the emergency situation promptly and accurately. – Put the hijacker in direct contact with the ground authorities for negotiations. – Concentrate on making every effort to obtain release of the passengers. Attitude of the crew members towards the hijackers may prove vital to the successful termination of the incident. Personal approach is useful in the case of a single hijacker, especially when only one crew member deals with him. With a view to establishing rapport with the hijacker, interest should be shown in his problem and he should be encouraged to talk. Any relationship thus established could be invaluable in achieving the primary objective, viz. the safe release of passengers and crew on board. Operational problems, such as fuel shortage, lack of landing facilities, etc should be explained to the hijackers and they should be made to understand the operating procedures for maintaining minimum safety standards in a manner that will elicit their full cooperation.
In a hijack situation, the Government of the country of landing will undoubtedly be the prime negotiator. Other Governments may be involved and play critical roles. Delays may be considerable and deadlines may have to be passed. While the situation may be difficult and frustrating, crew should endeavor to be patient. Each deadline that can be successfully passed is a positive step towards a satisfactory conclusion of the incident. Annex 6 (Part - I) to the Convention on International Civil Aviation and Chapter 3 of the Tokyo Convention specify the powers of the Pilot-in Command and authorize specific action to be taken by him in the event of an unlawful act. (Refer Operations Manual Part A, Para 36.1.9.2.1) The Pilot-in-Command should hold command of all crew members including any Airlines security personnel. If the Pilot-in Command is unable to do so, another qualified member of the crew should assume command in accordance with the sequence provided in the Operation Manual. All crew members shall obey the directions of the Commander and shall assist him in every way.

5.
Do not antagonize or irritate the hijackers or enter into an argument with him/ them, especially on politics. Do not allow passengers to get excited or resort to action in an attempt to overpower the hijackers, which may jeopardize safety. One practical measure to restrain passengers would be to instruct them to fasten their seat belts. Do not talk down to the hijackers or appear over-clever, or hurt their self-respect. Do not let them feel concerned and ensure that only one crew member approaches a hijacker at a time. Do not mention insanity or mental disorders. Do not annoy the hijackers by refusing to carry out their orders. Do not make sudden movements and have whispered conversations. Do not try to disarm the hijackers. Do not allow passengers to interfere After the event, do not speak to the press/media personnel at any time without proper permission from the CEO or designate.
Essential Communication Infrastructure And Links
5.1 Aircraft Communication equipment (as specified by DGCA) shall be installed in Indian registered aircraft, by the Aircraft Operator, to facilitate communication with ground stations in case of a hijack. This could include secret facilities i.e. Cellular phones/satellite based phones etc. All aircraft are equipped with VHF / HF/ SSR Transponder and ACARS for communication with ground. The aircraft CVR should be kept 'ON' while on ground with engine running. 6.
