changes being brought in with QRH Revision 43

Landing Distance with failures


New Landing Distance Factors

Hypothesis of computation

Dry & Wet & Contamd !! Vref !! Conf FULL !! Max Manual Braking !! No Reverse Thrust

AIRBUS S.A.S. All rights reserved. Confidential and proprietary document.

Hypothesis of computation
OLD NEW DRY & WET & CONTA !! Vref + !Vref !!Secondary failed systems DRY
AIRBUS S.A.S. All rights reserved. Confidential and proprietary document.

WET & CONTA !!Max Reverse Thrust on all operative rev

!! Vref + !Vref !!Secondary failed systems !! No Reverse Thrust

!! Vref + !Vref !!Secondary failed systems !!Max Reverse Thrust on all operative rev

Clearer and more operational Sometimes incompatible

Hypothesis of computation
"! Use of the LDG DIST Factors: !! Airbus policy on selection of thrust reversers (refer to FCTM AO-020)

All reversers inoperative and/or de-activated:

Do NOT select thrust reversers

At least 1 reverser operative:


AIRBUS S.A.S. All rights reserved. Confidential and proprietary document.

Select ALL thrust reversers

Only one exception: dispatch under MEL with one reverser inoperative

Hypothesis of computation
"! Exception case: Dispatch with one reverser inop
Dispatch MEL IF One reverser deactivated Failure in Flight At landing

STATUS
-LDG DIST PROCAPPLY

At least one reverser operative

THEN At landing: Select ALL thrust reversers

!! The Headwind !! The use of A/THR (additional 5 kts) !! Ice accretion on non heated structure

Increased ground speed ! LDG DIST increases

Conclusion
! More logical computation method (credit for reverse thrust)
!!No

longer a reverser correction on the ALD without failure !!LDG DIST Factors with REV / without REV

! In line with the new Airbus policy on the thrust reverser selection ! The LDG DIST with failure takes into account more operational
cases (Dispatch, A/THR ON, ice accretion)

!!Dispatch

with reverser inop: Use the LDG DIST Factor without REV !!Do not forget to take into account Additional Factor, if applicable

! Available at the next general revision of QRH (Rev 43)

Conclusion
! A more thorough briefing will be issued shortly to all pilots ! This presentation is a heads-up for all Airbus Training
Captains and should not be distributed
