HOW TO STOP ECAM ACTIONS

➤ The PF can call “STOP ECAM” at any time, if other specific actions
must be performed.

➤ When the action is completed , the PF must call “CONTINUE ECAM”

ECAM ACTIONS……PERFORM

When ECAM actions request

• Stop ECAM actions

• Refer to eQRH
• Perform the related procedure.
• The procedure will mention when to come back to ECAM.

ACTIONS TO BE CONFIRMED BY BOTH PILOTS

In flight, the PF and PM must crosscheck before any action on guarded controls,
ENG MASTER sw, IR, computer resets or THRUST LEVERS. This doesn’t apply
on ground.

LAND ASAP

Depending on the failure, LAND ASAP or LAND ASAP can be displayed, in

the right column of the E/WD.

LAND ASAP: Land as soon as possible ay the nearest airport at which a

safe landing can be made. It is applicable to a time critical
situation.

LAND ASAP: Consider landing at the nearest suitable airport.

ASSESS THE SITUATION

PF PM
OPERATIONAL ASPECTS………………..CONSIDER
When necessary, review the aircraft limitations and any affected capability (RVSM, RNP etc)

STATUS........................RECALL AND REVIEW

WEATHER AND LANDING INFORMATION…………………OBTAIN

Check weather conditions and airfield data at any considered airports

INCREASED FUEL CONSUMPTION…………..…….EVALUATE i

In the case of failures affecting Flight Control Surfaces, Landing Gear or L/G Doors

When requested by ECAM:

LANDING DISTANCE PROCEDURE…………………APPLY
or i
LANDING PERFORMANCE………..……….CONFIRM

DISPATCH ASPECTS AT DESTINATION………..……….CONSIDER

COMMERCIAL ASPECTS……….……….CONSIDER
Use the FMS for situation assessment:
• Estimation of the Landing Weight (LW) i

• Determination of the nearest suitable airport i

 BACK

INCREASED FUEL CONSUMPTION…..EVALUATE

Refer to eQRH/OPS

FMS TRIP FUEL = FOB - FMS EFOB at DEST

• If only one Fuel Penalty Factor (FPF) is applicable:

TRIP FUEL PENALTY = FMS TRIP FUEL x FPF
• If two on more Fuel Penalty Factors (FPF) are applicable:
TRIP FUEL PENALTY = FMS TRIP FUEL x
(FPF1+FPF2+…+FPFn)
• The flight crew must manually calculate the Fuel Predictions to
take into account the Trip Fuel Penalty:
ACTUAL TRIP FUEL = FMS TRIP FUEL + TRIP FUEL PENALTY
 BACK

LANDING PERFORMANCE…..CALCULATE

Use the FlySmart/Landing module to calculate and confirm the landing

performance at the requested airport/airports.

• Insert the Wx information and RWY

condition as appropriate.
• Insert the applicable failure/failures.
• If necessary, you can refer to
FlySmart/OLB/eQRH/In Flight Performance,
or LIDO document library for the Landing
Performance Assessment Tables.
 BACK

ESTIMATION OF THE LANDING WEIGHT

• Provided the F-PLN page is completed (including ARRIVAL page, without any F-
PLN DISCONTINUITY etc) use the EFOB at DEST to calculate the LW: [GW-
(FOB-EFOB)].
• Consider any fuel consumption increment (refer to eQRH/OPS).
• The LW is the entry point of the VAPP determination and Landing Distance
Calculation, either via the FlySmart/Landing module or via the paper QRH
tables.
• On aircraft fitted with THALES FMS, LW can be found via the SEC F-PLN: copy
active, then SEC F-PLN INIT-B page you can see the LW.
• EFOB at destination is displayed on the F-PLN page and the FUEL PRED page.
 BACK

DETERMINATION OF THE NEAREST SUITABLE

AIRPORT

• Use the CLOSEST AIRPORTS page. This page displays the four nearest
airports, sorted according to their distance from the aircraft.
• BRG, DIST, ETA and EFOB (second page) are provided for each airport.
• A fifth airport can be manually inserted.
