EMERGENCY DESCENT [PRO-ABN-MISC]
CALLOUT: EMERGENCY DESCENT

Notes:
• To save oxygen, set the oxygen diluter selector to the N position.

UNRELIABLE SPEED [PRO-ABN-NAV]


CALLOUT: UNRELIABLE SPEED
LOSS OF BRAKING [PRO-ABN-BRAKES]
CALLOUT: LOSS OF BRAKING

Note: If needed, maximum reverse thrust can be kept until full aircraft stop.

TCAS WARNINGS [PRO-ABN-SURV]


CALLOUT ON TA: I HAVE CONTROLS. CALLOUT ON RA: TCAS RA
WINDSHEAR (REACTIVE) [PRO-ABN-SURV]
CALLOUT: WINDSHEAR TOGA

Notes:
• Before V1 abort for significant airspeed variations and if stop distance is sufficient.

• If necessary, sidestick can be pulled fully back.

• If no FD bars then initial pitch 17.5°. To prevent further loss of altitude, increase pitch.

• If AOA > α PROT then autopilot will disengage.


WINDSHEAR AHEAD (PREDICTIVE) [PRO-ABN-SURV]

Notes:
• Spurious predictive windshear alerts have been reported.

• If there is no hazard then you can disregard the alert if:

o No other signs of possible windshear conditions.

o Reactive windshear system is operational.

• Always rely on reactive windshear alerts.

• For departure, delay takeoff or select the most favorable runway.

• Slat/Flap configuration can be changed, provided the windshear is not entered.


STALL WARNING AT LIFTOFF [PRO-ABN-MISC]
CALLOUT: STALL TOGA 15o

Notes:
• Spurious stall warning may sound in NORMAL law, if AOA probe is damaged.
• Apply the above procedure and attain a safe flight path and speed.
• If stall warning continues, consider it as spurious.

STALL RECOVERY [PRO-ABN-MISC]


CALLOUT: STALL, I HAVE CONTROL

Notes:
• For lack of pitch down authority, reducing thrust may be necessary.
• In case of single engine, compensate asymmetry with rudder while increasing thrust.
EGPWS CAUTIONS [PRO-ABN-SURV]
EGPWS WARNINGS [PRO-ABN-SURV]
CALLOUT: PULL UP TOGA

Notes:

• Pull to full backstick and maintain that position.

• Keep wings level.

• A turning maneuver can be initiated if that is the safest action.

• PULL UP maneuver must be performed before the turn.

ABNORMAL SLATS / FLAPS [FCTM PR-AEP-F_CTL]

• For any Slats / Flaps Problem – PULL SPEED Knob.


At takeoff, the selected speed will stop the acceleration and avoid exceeding VFE. During
approach, it will avoid further deceleration.
Note: This one is not in the Airbus list of memory items.
