34. The gray compass scale
moves against a fixed yellow

centerline of the aircraft
In the example shown the
aircraft is heading 091
degrees
HEADING 091

35. TRACK DIAMOND
Small green diamond represents
the aircraft track
In the example shown the track is
094 degrees which means that the
aircraft has 3 degrees of drift to the
right
TRACK 094

36. A selected heading
may appear either as;
• a blue figure, on
the appropriate side
on the compass scale
or
•a blue triangle

37. On the FCU there is a
Heading selector, with an
indicator, that is linked to
the selected heading
indication on the PFD
compass

38. All the indications associated
with Altitude are located on the
right hand side of the PFD

if the ac（de）celeration
remains constant

45. However, if
Autothrust is engaged,
you do not need to
move the thrust lever
to control the speed.
In the assessment
Autothrust is engaged
for you.

46. The Assessment

47. Taxy

48. Use the tiller to turn.
Be smooth during the
turns.
You do not need to
touch the sidestick.
Idle thrust is enough
for taxy.
Use brakes if
necessary.

49. Take off

50. For departure, usually
CONF 1+F(corresponds
to the “1” on the
handle) or 2 used.
The instructor may
set the flaps for you.

51. TheThrust Lever has
several detents.They are:
- IDLE
- CL(Climb)
- FLX/MCT
(Flex/Maximum Continuous
Thrust)
-TOGA
(Take Off/Go Around)
Advance theThrust Levers
to FLX/MCT detent (Second
detent) for take off

52. • Announce “Take Off”
• Half stick forward until 80
knots

53. • Announce FMA
• “MAN FLEX 55, SRS,
RUNWAY, AUTO
THRUST BLUE”

54. • Neutralize the stick

55. • “100 Knots”
• Announce “Checked”
100 Knots
Checked

56. • “V1”
• “Rotate”
• Pull stick back to about 2/3
• About 3 degrees per second
(1001… 1002… 1003…)
• Aim at 15 degrees nose up,
then follow FD
Rotate

57. • “PositiveClimb”
• Announce “Gear up”

Gear up

58. LVR CLB
Passing 1,500 feet,
“LVR CLB”(Lever Climb) will
flash on the FMA.
Retard theThrust Lever to
the CLB(Climb) detent.
It is “one-click”below the
“FLX/MCT” detent.

60. Approach and Landing

61. The Localizer indicator
indicates the aircraft’s
horizontal position
relative to the centreline
of the runway.(Left or
right)
The Glideslope indicator
indicates the vertical
position of the aircraft,
relative to a 3 degrees
profile to the
runway.(High or Low)

69. THE MOST IMPORTANT PART

71. You have control.
I have control.

72. Each side stick is fitted with a
redTake-over pushbutton.
Autopilot is disconnected if the
button is pressed.
Press twice to cancel audible
warning

73. If both sidesticks are being moved at the
same time, the pilot flying can keep pressing
theTake-over pushbutton to gain control.
The arrow points left showing that the
Captain has control.
Avoid moving the sidestick when another
pilot is having control.

74. When the Flight Director is
selected
Flight Director indications
are on the attitude indicator

75. Notice that there is an indication
on the FMA when the Flight
Directors are switched on

76. Vertical line =
Roll Bar
Horizontal line =
Pitch Bar
Flight Director Roll Bar
Flight Director Pitch bar

77. Roll to the right directed
Pitch up directed

78. In this example the FD is directing a
pitch up and roll to the right
Once the aircraft has achieved the
required pitch and bank the Flight
Director bars will once again be
centred
Roll to the right directed
Pitch up directed

79. No feedback on the sidestick
Same AMOUNT of input will always
generate same AMOUNT of output,
regardless of speed and configuration
Handling Differences

80. Higher sensitivity than most conventional aircrafts, yet:
Noticeable lag/delay compared to conventional aircrafts
After target Attitude is achieved, RELEASE the sidestick
No Rudder input required except duringTake Off and Landing
(Glider pilots!)
Anytime when thing goes wrong, RELEASE the sidestick!
Handling Differences

81. A lot to memorise?
MOST important part :
FOLLOW the FD
Enjoy the flight
