A320 - TAKE OFF BRIEFING GUIDE DEZ/16

The takeoff briefing should be relevant, concise and chronological. When a main parameter is
referred to by the PF, both flight crewmembers must crosscheck that the parameter has been set or
programmed correctly. The takeoff briefing covers the following:
Take Off briefing with associated checks

1- Miscellaneous
Aircraft type and model (Tail strike awareness)
Aircraft technical status (MEL and CDL considerations, relevant OEB)
NOTAMS
Weather
RWY conditions
Use of ENG/Wing Anti Ice
ENG Start Procedure
Push Back
Expected Taxi Clearance
Use of Radar
Use of Packs for Takeoff

Flight Plan description (SID on MCDU FPLN page)
RAD NAV (RAD NAV on ND)
5- Abnormal Operations (first flight of the day with same crew)

For any failure before V1:

CAPT will call "STOP" or "GO"
In case of failure after V1:
continue TO, no actions before 400 ft AGL except gear up
Reaching 400 ft AGL, ECAM actions
Reaching EO ACC altitude
If the engine is secured, level off, accelerate and clean up
Otherwise continue climbing until the engine is secured (but not above EO maximum
acceleration altitude)
At green dot: OP CLB, MCT, continue ECAM, after TO C/L, status
ENG OUT routing: EOSID, SID, radar vector, immediate return ...
Airport Briefing (AD)
Must be access during preparation. Brief only items that can affect approach.

A320 - LANDING BRIEFING GUIDE DEZ/16

The main objective of the approach briefing is for the PF to inform the PNF of his intended course
of action for the approach. The briefing should be practical and relevant to the actual weather condi-
tions expected. It should be concise and conducted in a logical manner. It should be given at a time of
low workload if possible, to enable the crew to concentrate on the content. It is very important that any
misunderstandings are resolved at this time.
The PF should program the FMGS as follows:
