▪On ECAM lower display the WHEEL page replaces the ENG page.

▪Leaving the ENG MODE selector at the START/IGN position would prevent continuous relight selection on the ground (would be supplied at lift off). In addition, the ENG page would remain displayed. The selector must be cycled to recover normal control of ignition and to display WHEEL page.

▪After start, to avoid thermal shock, the pilot should operate the engine at idle or near idle for at least 2 minutes before advancing the thrust lever to high power. Taxi time at idle may be included in the warm-up period.

▪The last engine started must run for at least 2 minutes before takeoff initiation, to ensure that takeoff is not initiated before the center tank pumps test is finished, since takeoff on center tank is prohibited.

Note: Icing conditions may be expected when the TAT is 10° C or below, and there is visible moisture in the air (such as clouds, fog with low visibility, rain, snow, sleet, ice crystals), or when standing water, slush, ice or snow is present on the taxiways or runways.

During ground operation, when in icing conditions for more than 30 minutes, the following procedure should be applied for ice shedding:

CAUTION: If, during thrust increase, the aircraft starts to move, immediately retard the thrust levers to IDLE.

If ground surface conditions and the environment permit, the flight crew should accelerate the engines to approximately 70% of N1 for 30 seconds at intervals no greater than 30 minutes.

In addition, this engine acceleration should also be performed just before take-off, with particular attention to engine parameters to ensure normal engine operation.

If ground surface or environments do not permit to accelerate the engine to 70% N1, then power setting and dwell time should be as high as practical.

When operating in conditions of freezing rain, freezing drizzle, freezing fog or heavy snow, ice shedding may be enhanced, by additional run ups at intervals, to not exceed 10 minutes, advancing throttles to 70% N1 momentarily (no hold time).

1. Before taxi and before arming the autobrake, the CM1 silently applies full longitudinal and lateral sidestick deflection. On the F/CTL page, the CM2 checks full travel and the correct sense of all elevators and all ailerons, and the correct deflection and retraction of all spoilers. The order of flight control check must be full up, full down, neutral, full left, full right, neutral. The CM2 calls out “FULL UP”, “FULL DOWN”, “NEUTRAL”, “FULL LEFT”, “FULL RIGHT”, “NEUTRAL”, as each full travel/neutral position is reached.

The CM1 silently checks that the CM2 calls are in accordance with the sidestick order.

Note: In order to reach full travel, full sidestick must be held for a sufficient period of time.

2.The CM1 presses the PEDAL DISC pushbutton on nosewheel tiller, and silently applies full left rudder, full right rudder and neutral. The CM2 calls out “FULL LEFT”, “FULL RIGHT”, “NEUTRAL”, as each full travel/neutral position is reached. CM2 should follow pedal movement with his feet.

3.The CM2 applies full longitudinal and lateral sidestick deflection, and silently checks full travel and correct sense of all elevators and all ailerons, and the correct deflection and retraction of all spoilers, on the ECAM F/CTL page. CM1 checks PITCH TRIM position on F/CTL page in units UP or DN.

Note: The F/CTL page is automatically displayed for 20 seconds.
