FLIGHT PLAN
The AFS has several flight plans predetermined by the airline in its
memory. A flight plan describes a complete flight from departure to
arrival; it gives vertical information and all intermediate waypoints. The
plan can be displayed on the EFIS or on the Multipurpose Control &
Display Units (MCDU).
U5E07351 - u2ST0T0 - UM22P2000000001
OPERATION
There are several ways to use the AFS but the normal and recommended
one is to use it to follow the flight plan automatically. Knowing the
position of the aircraft and the flight plan chosen by the pilot, the system
is able to compute the orders sent to the flying surfaces and the engines
so that the aircraft follows the flight plan. The pilot has an important
monitoring role.
NOTE: During AFS operation, side sticks and thrust levers do not move
automatically.

FMGC
There are two interchangeable FMGCs. Each FMGC is made of two
U5E07351 - u2ST0T0 - UM22P3000000001
parts: the Flight Management (FM) part and the Flight Guidance (FG)
part. The FM part gives the functions related to flight plan definition,
revision and monitoring and the FG part gives the functions related to
the aircraft control.
FAC
There are two interchangeable FACs. The basic functions of the FACs
are the rudder control and the flight envelope protection.

Single Aisle TECHNICAL TRAINING MANUAL
PRINCIPLE
The FD displays the Flight Management and Guidance Computer (FMGC)
guidance commands on both PFDs. In manual flight, the FD displays
guidance orders to help the pilots to apply commands on the controls in
order to follow the optimum flight path, which would be ordered by the
AP if it was engaged. When the AP is engaged, the FD helps the FMGC
demands to be checked.
The FD modes are the same as the AP modes and are selected the same
way. The FMGCs calculate AP/FD orders which are transformed into
symbols by the Display Management Computers (DMCs). There are two
U5E07351 - u2ST0T0 - UM22P7000000001
types of symbols: the FD bars, the Flight Path Director (FPD) and Flight
Path Vector (FPV) symbols. The central HeaDinG-Vertical Speed
(HDG-V/S)/TRacK-Flight Path Angle (TRK-FPA) P/BSW on the FCU
makes the pilots switch between these two types of symbols.
FD PUSHBUTTONS
Upon FCU power up, in go around, or when losing the AP during the
roll out phase of the landing, the three green bars of the FD P/BSWs
come on automatically. A lit FD P/BSW means that the FD symbols can
be displayed on the corresponding PFD: PFD 1 for the CAPT FD P/BSW

An AFS TEST is done:
- to check an AFS LRU before removal,
- to check an AFS LRU after installation,
- to get trouble shooting data (even if the test is OK).

SPEED COMPUTATION
Aerodynamic laws and the aircraft configuration parameters are used for
the characteristic speed computation. The computation principle is based
on the fact that most of the speed data are a function of the aircraft weight.
In flight, the FAC computes the weight with the Air Data/Inertial
Reference System (ADIRS), FMGC and Slat Flap Control Computer
(SFCC) parameters and then, from the weight, it computes the
characteristic speeds and the Center of Gravity (CG). On the ground, the
FAC uses the weight given by the FMGC.

SPEED TREND
The yellow pointer starts from the speed symbol. The end of this arrow
gives the speed value, which will be attained in 10 seconds if the
acceleration or deceleration remains constant. This arrow appears only
when greater than 2 kts and is removed when less than 1 kt. It is also
removed in case of failure of the Flight Augmentation Computers (FACs).
TARGET AIRSPEED
This symbol is either magenta or cyan and gives the target airspeed value
or the airspeed corresponding to the Mach number. The target airspeed
value is the value computed by the Flight Management and Guidance
Computer (FMGC) in managed speed mode (magenta) or manually
entered on Flight Control Unit (FCU) for selected speed mode (cyan).
The target speed is a magenta double bar when associated with the
ECONomy speed range. Otherwise it is a magenta or cyan triangle. When
out of speed scale, the target speed value is displayed in numeric form

The A/THR remains active. Then, the thrust levers remain in this
position until the approach phase.
AUTOMATIC LANDING
During automatic landing, before touch down, an auto call out,
RETARD, indicates to the pilot that he has to set the thrust levers to
the 0 stop. When he does it, the A/THR disengages. This lets the

Then, on ground, the pilot moves the thrust levers on the REVerse

DISCONNECTION
Besides the normal A/THR operation, the A/THR function is disengaged
either by a pilot action or in case of a system failure. The A/THR function
can be disengaged either by pressing at least one of the two red instinctive
disconnect P/Bs on the side of the thrust levers or by pressing the A/THR
P/BSW on the FCU. A/THR disengagement can also be triggered due to
an external system failure. When the A/THR function is active, the actual

Consequently, it is important to know what happens after an A/THR

MCDU
As already presented in the FM OPERATING MODES topic, the MCDUs
work differently. In normal mode, the MCDUs can be used simultaneously
on different pages. Any modification or entry on one MCDU is sent to
the other MCDU via the FMGC cross talk.
In independent mode, both MCDUs operate separately. Although the
cross talk is present, an entry on one MCDU is not applied to the other
one. In single mode, both MCDUs basically work as in normal mode,
but with the valid FMGC only.
DISPLAYS
FM information is displayed on NDs and on PFDs. For FM information,
in normal or independent modes, FMGC1 supplies PFD1 and ND1,
FMGC2 supplies PFD2 and ND2. In single mode, the remaining FMGC
supplies all the displays.
RADIO NAVIGATION
The schematic shows the architecture of the radio navigation receivers
controlled by the FMGCs in normal or independent modes. For the
selection of radio navigation frequencies and courses, in normal or
independent modes, each FMGC controls its own side receivers through
a Radio Management Panel (RMP). Only the actual frequencies and
U5E07351 - u2ST0T0 - UM22D9000000001
courses from the receivers are displayed on the PFDs and the NDs. In
case of an FMGC failure, the valid FMGC controls its own side receivers
as usual, through an RMP, but also the other side receivers, directly
without going through a RMP. If both FMGCs fail, the crew must use
the RMPs to select the frequencies and courses.

PERFORMANCE
The performance database contains optimal speed schedules for the
expected range of operating conditions. Several performance modes are
available to the operator with the primary one being the ECONomic
mode. The ECON mode can be tailored to meet specific airline
requirements using a selectable Cost Index (CI). A CI is defined as the
ratio of cost of time to the cost of fuel. The Fuel Quantity and Indication
Computers (FQICs) give the fuel quantity. The speed and the thrust values
associated with a given CI are used to determine the climb and descent
