• Mmo and Vmo limits are not depicted with any specific indicators on each PFD in normal law.

Retrieving Information After Lower ECAM DU Failure

• In the event of a LOWER ECAM DU failure, information can be retrieved by pressing and holding the related systems page push button on the ECAM control panel to display the page on the UPPER ECAM, or rotating the ECAM/ND XFER switch to transfer the LOWER ECAM page to the Captain or First Officer's ND.

Crew Oxygen Provision

• Crew oxygen is provided via single bottle.

Autopilot and Sidestick Movement

• Autopilot will disengage if either sidestick is moved while autopilot is engaged.

APU START Push Button Function

• When selected ON, the APU START push button initiates the APU if the APU MASTER SW was previously selected ON.

In-Flight Normal Law & Alpha Prot

• In Alpha prot range, the sidestick controller and flight controls revert to AOA mode, with side stick deflection proportional to AOA.

Crew Recovery After DMC Failure

• After a single DMC failure, rotate the EIS DMC switch on the switching panel to replace the failed DMC with DMC #3 to recover the display.

Emergency Exit Lights Activation

• The emergency lights and exit signs activate when the DC ESS SHED bus is unpowered with the EMER EXIT LT selector in the ARM position.

Sidestick Command in Normal Law

• Movement of the sidestick and subsequent return to neutral commands a load factor proportional to stick deflection, then maintain one G flight corrected for pitch attitude while in flight operating in Normal Law.

A/THR Disengagement

• Holding the instinctive disconnect push button for more than fifteen seconds disengages the A/THR (including A.Floor) for the remainder of the flight.

Alternate Brake System Accumulator

• If the accumulator on the alternate brake system is your only pressure source, the system will provide seven applications of the brake pedals

Pack Flow Control Valves

• The pack flow control valves automatically close during engine start.

Oil Quantity Indication

• Oil quantity indication begins to pulse when decreasing below 5 qts.

HORN SHUTOFF on EVAC Panel

• The HORN SHUTOFF on the EVAC panel silences the EVAC signal in the cockpit.

FADEC Controls During Automatic Start

• During an automatic start, the FADEC controls the start valves, igniters, HP and LP fuel valves, and fuel flow.

APU Start Procedure

• To start the APU, BAT 1 and 2 push buttons must be selected to ON.

Ram Air Valve

• The Ram Air valve must be manually activated.

BMC Detects a Bleed Leak

• If a BMC detects a bleed leak, all valves that could supply pneumatic air to the area of the bleed leak will automatically close.

Gravity Gear Extension Handle

• Each turn of the gravity gear extension handle shuts off hydraulic pressure, opens doors, and unlocks gear.

APU with X BLEED to AUTO

• With the APU running, the APU BLEED push button selected ON and the X BLEED selector to AUTO, APU will supply pneumatic air to both sides of the aircraft because the pneumatic crossbleed valve automatically opens.

A/THR Active with Speed Knob Pulled

• When flying with A/THR active, pulling and turning the speed knob to a speed slower than Alpha prot, the aircraft will slow to Vls.

Restoring Landing Gear After Gravity Extension

• If green hydraulic pressure is available, normal landing gear operation may be restored after a gravity extension. It might be possible, if the gravity extension was not caused by a failure of the landing gear mechanism.

FADEC Automatically Aborts Start

• The FADEC automatically aborts a start due to a hot start, overtemp, stalled start, or no lightup.

FMA Differences

• The difference between -FD2 and 2FD- on the FMA is 1 off, 2 engaged versus 2 engaged, 1 inop.

Aft Cargo Compartment Smoke Detection

• In the event of smoke detection in the aft cargo compartment, a MASTER WARN, CRC, and an ECAM message will be generated.

T.O. INHIBIT and LDG INHIBIT

• T.O. INHIBIT and LDG INHIBIT are active from TO 1500 feet AGL to LND below 750 feet AGL.

BUS TIE Button to OFF

• During a normal flight, if the BUS TIE push button is depressed to 'OFF', there is no effect on power to the busses.

Oxygen Mask Requirements

• Flight crew members are required to use quickly-fitted oxygen masks on any pressurized aircraft flying at a pressure altitude greater than 25000 ft.

Icing Conditions

• The pilot in command confirms holdover time has not exceeded the time since de-icing started during icing conditions.

Pilot Incapacitation Protocol

• A pilot should use the PA: "Cockpit speaking, Purser required in the cockpit." to call the cabin crew in case of pilot incapacitation.

Minimum Descent Height for VOR Approach

• An operator must ensure that the lowest MDH for a non-precision approach procedure which is based upon the use of a VOR; it should be 300ft.

Planning Minima for Alternates

• CAT II, III: CAT I minima, CAT I: NPA minima, NPA: minima plus 200ft/1000m, and Circling: Circling minima are the planning minima for alternates for destination and enroute airports.

Rescue and Firefighting Airport Category for A321

• The rescue and firefighting airport category for the A321 is 7.

Meaning of MSA

• MSA means Minimum sector altitude.

Temperature Inversion

• Occurs when the temperature increases with altitude through a layer.

Troposphere Heating Source

• The majority of troposphere heating results from heating from the ground below.

NSC Definition

• NSC stands for Nil Significant cloud.

Altimeter Reading and Altitude Loss

• Aircraft losing altitude with a constant altimeter reading is caused by flying towards low pressure.

Dew Point

• The dew point of a sample of air varies with the temperature of the sample.

Air's Water Vapour Capacity

• The amount of water vapour in the air largely depends on its air temperature.
