    Circle To Land at High and Hot Altitude Airports

    Uploaded by

    J'boy Jacob
    This document discusses revising the circling approach procedure for Airbus aircraft with one engine inoperative at high altitude or hot airports. It is not always possible to maintain level flight during the downwind leg under these conditions. The maximum temperatures that allow level flight during circling are provided for different Airbus models. For the A320 family, the circling procedure must be changed. A proposed revised procedure is outlined that lowers the initial configuration and delays full flaps extension to improve chances of a successful circling approach with one failed engine.

    Circle to land at high and hot airports

    4 Introduction
    z Airbus has been asked by some operators to study the

    case of a circling approach at high altitude airports with one engine failed.
    z This study has shown that the published procedure may

    not be adequate at high altitude, but also at high temperature.

    4 Published circling approach procedure


    ABEAM THRESHOLD: Start time RUNWAY IN SIGHT: - Level off - Proceed to downwind leg - Fly 45 for 30sec - Maintain visual contact with runway

    TURNING BASE

    40sec for 1000ft F SPEED Minimum circling approach height

    4 Circling approach with one engine failed

    4 Circling approach with one engine failed


    z Cold conditions:

    4 Circling approach with one engine failed


    In cold conditions, with one engine failed, in CONF3 with L/G down, level flight can be maintained whatever the weight

    END OF TURN 400FT MINI STABILIZED

    4 Circling approach with one engine failed


    z Hot conditions:

    4 Circling approach with one engine failed


    In hot conditions, with one engine failed, in CONF3 with L/G down, the Airbus twin-engine aircraft cannot fly level above a given weight

    4 Limit external conditions


    z The following temperatures are the maximum conditions

    under which level flight during the downwind leg can be maintained at maximum landing weight,with one engine out:

    For the A320-233:


    * 31C at 2000ft * 6C at 10000ft and above

    For the A319-132:


    * 26C at 2000ft * 11C at 7000ft and above

    For the A330-243:


    * 31C at 7000ft * 0C at 13000ft

    For the A340,the failure of one engine does not prevent to maintain the level flight during a circling approach

    4 Limit external conditions


    z These conditions are marginal for the A330.A specific

    procedure should be established for very specific airports at high altitude,such as Lhassa or La Paz.To our knowledge, presently no A330 is operated at such airports.
    z These conditions are not unusual ones for the A320

    family: They are usual at high altitude airports such as La Paz, Quito, Lhassa, Kathmandu, but also at lower altitudes such as Sanaa,Tehran,and at many airfields at sea level in hot countries (Dubai,Bahrein,).

    4 A320F circling approach with one engine failed

    z For the A320 family,the circle to land procedure in case

    of engine inoperative must then be revised.


    z It must be emphasised that extending the flaps to

    flaps2 instead of 3 would not solve the problem,as both configurations are not very different .

    4 A320F circling approach with one engine failed


    Proposed procedure: procedure: z Proposed

    4 A320F circling approach with one engine failed


    z If the circling approach is flown at less than750ft RA,

    the warning L/G NOT DOWN will be triggered. This warning is to be disregarded and cleared.
    z The gear must be extended as soon as possible in final

    approach to avoid triggering the TOO LOW GEAR warning,which appears at 500ft RA if the landing gear is not downlocked.

    4 Conclusion
    z The FCOM 3.02.10 Approach with one engine

    inoperative will be revised to introduce the following pattern:
