Purpose of this guide

The purpose of this guide, is to provide the student with an a

minimum previous knowledge, that will definitely help the student
to take maximum profit from the simulator and thus from the
course.

Achieving this minimum knowledge will help the student to cope

with the STAGE PANIC in the simulator, that normally leads to an
inadequate students’ progress.

Also, we provide the optimum sequence to face the learning of

procedures.

New AIRBUS SOPS and briefings, have been included in this guide.

ONLY FOR TRAINING

BEFORE TR main objectives

The student SHOULD begin the Type Rating with a minimum

previous knowledge on the following items:

• Aircraft systems

• Main manuals structure

• FCOM SOPs, use of checklists and callouts

• Memory items

• Limitations

• MCDU programming

New FCOM checklists and briefing philosophy has been

considered

ONLY FOR TRAINING

 Main manuals contents

The AIRBUS most used manuals by the pilot are: FCOM, FCTM and QRH

• FCOM (Flight Crew Operating Manual): You can find the following information
inside it:

o Systems description

o NORMAL procedures and associated callouts

▪ Within the normal SOPs, you will find detailed actions on every step of
the procedure and also the correct sequence to perform the
procedure (called flows).
▪ But in the FCOM SOPs, you will NOT find any flight technique, such as
the crosswind takeoff, or the tasksharing in an emergency descent…
For these detailed techniques, you need to refer to the FCTM
▪ Now the whole expanded lists, can be found at FCOM – PRO – NOR –
TSK, not in the QRH anymore, except SAFETY, PRELIMINARY and
SECURING expanded lists.

o ABNORMAL / EMERGENCY procedures along with memory items

▪ Same as with NORMAL procedures (SOPs), you can find detailed
steps of the procedures in the FCOM, but flight technique is
explained in the FCTM.

o Limitations
▪ To be known with NO EXCUSES, since most of these limitations are
NOT indicated by any instrument.

o Performance

o Other Info, not relevant to this MCC course

ONLY FOR TRAINING

 Main manuals contents

The AIRBUS most used manuals by the pilot are: FCOM, FCTM and QRH

• FCTM (Flight Crew Techniques Manual): You can find the following information:

o Airbus design philosophy

o Checklist and ECAM management

o Golden rules for pilots

o Rudder, TCAS, Radar, Bird, Flight management and guidance principles

o Detailed NORMAL procedures techniques, such as crosswind, rotation,

landing, 2D and 3D approaches, go around technique…

o Detailed critical ABNORMAL and EMERGENCY procedures techniques, such

as engine failure, emergency descent, emergency evacuation…

• QRH (Quick Reference Handbook): You can find the following information:

o Expanded procedures list, (only SAFETY, PRELIMINARY and SECURING) which

includes all the individual steps showing tasksharing as CM1/CM2 or PF/PM
actions.

o Procedures checklist, which reviews the most relevant steps of every

procedure. Now the expanded list name matches the associated checklist
name.

QRH / FCOM Expanded list QRH Checklist

o Most Abnormal NON ECAM procedures

o Performance calculations (i.e. landing distance and approach speed)

 FCOM SOPs, checklist use and callouts

Bear in mind that this guide is oriented for a MCC student, not for a Type Rating. So,
some steps and notes are intentionally omitted to adapt the procedure to the course
objectives.

For the MCC course, in GTA we are delivering STD AIRBUS philosophy for tasksharing
PF/PM. So, PF will taxi and do all the PF steps indicated in the QRH expanded list, even
if he/she flies as CM-2 (co-pilot)

So, your learning strategy should be as follows:

1. You should start studying every individual step of the procedure, as it is described
in the FCOM – PRO – NOR – SOPs. Some notes, cautions and warning may be
found within these steps, to enhance a safer operation. It will help if you identify
and locate every control or switch on the affected panel, so you can use a
cockpit poster, with the overhead, lateral and pedestal panels. Observe that PF
has some associated steps, which are different from PM steps.

2. Then, study the applicable flows, also to be found in FCOM – PRO – NOR – SOPs,
which gather some of these steps into an easy to follow sequence of actions.

3. Next, you may use the FCOM – PRO – NOR – TSK expanded list to have a general
view of all the steps and the tasksharing for every procedure.

4. Learn associated callouts included in the FCOM – PRO – NOR – SCO.

5. Practice MCDU programming.

Let´s see FCOM SOPs in detail. Items marked by asterisks (*) are the only steps to be
completed after a transit stop without flight crew change. Otherwise, the new flight
crew performs all the items.

A transit stop occurs, when the same crew is going to fly the next sector in the same
airplane. So, some steps may be omitted.

You can observe a reduced view of the expanded list to the right of the page,
highlighting in associated colour (PF blue, PM green, BOTH brown), the steps shown in
every page.

Triggers (actions initiated automatically by PM without PF´s request) are indicated by

a pointing finger

FLY: includes control of the A/C, such as PITCH, ROLL, SPEED, and thrust power, flaps

1 NAV: includes SID or Engine out SID, make sure the AC/C is going where you intend to.
COM: call ATC if necessary PAN-PAN or MAYDAY, with SIMPLE intentions, such as your planned
ALT and HDG. Deviation callouts are included.
PM is to check and announce any important deviations.

Use A/P if possible, but determine and select the appropriate level of automation that can include
2 manual flight Understand the operational effect of the selected level of automation.

The flight crew must confirm the operational effect of all actions on the FCU, or on the MCDU,
3 via a crosscheck of the corresponding annunciation or data on the PFD and on the ND. That is ,
touch any control, read FMA and understand the effects of your actions.

If the aircraft does not follow the desired vertical or lateral flight path, or the selected
4 targets, the flight crew must immediately take appropriate or required actions, such as disconnect
A/P and take controls and take the A/C to the appropriate ALT / HDG / SPEED.
