FCOM Arrival/Engine Shutdown
When should you turn on the brake fans after landing?
- When turnaround time is short or any brake is likely to exceed 500ºC. Crew should delay fan selection to 5 mins after landing or approaching the gate whichever comes first.
- If flight crew no longer operating same FIN, select brake fans to off.
FCOM Arrival/Engine Shutdown
How much fuel discrepancy is allowed at the end of a flight?
300 KG.
When should you prepare to have the aircraft chocked and release the parking brake on arrival?
When you have recieved a BRAKES HOT ECAM.
At what brake temperature should you delay takeoff?
150ºc Fans on
300ºc Fans off
Before Takeoff Check
In what environmental conditions should you select Engine Mode to IGN?
- Runway has standing water, or
- Heavy Rain is falling, or
- Heavy rain or moderate turbulence is expeted after takeoff.
Before Takeoff Check
When should packs be selected off for WAT purposes?
- Contaminated runways or runways treated with anti-icing chemicals regardless of the runway surface condition.
- First Takeoff after an Engine Wash.
- Packs off on if planning PACKS ON APU BLEED
Before Takeoff Check
When is the fan blade shedding procedure applied?
(And how often/what is the pro)
When OAT is 3º or lower and in icing conditions.
Intervals not exceeding 30 mins and once within 5 minutes before takeoff.
Accelerate engines to 70% for 30 secs.
Check ENG ECAM
Don’t use parking brake
If unable 70% and 30s, due to airport/surface conditions, thrust and time should be as high and long as possible.
FREEZING RAIN, DRIZZLE, FOG or HEAVY SNOW, ice shedding may be enhanced by additional run ups by momentarily advancing to 70% at intervals not exceeding 10 mins.

Why do we start ENG 1 if starting one engine?
It powers the green hydraulic system, providing nosewheel steering and normal braking without using the PTU.
When’s the earliest you can call “After Start Checklist”?
After “revert to hand signals” call is made.
