MENU MENU 1/50 1/33 1/99 1/49  When you initially enter the cockpit all the EIS displays are normally off. The displays require AC electrical power to operate so unless either the APU or a ground electrical supply are available the displays will not operate. We will connect a ground electrical supply for you. MENU MENU 2/50 2/33 2/99 2/49  Normally the ECAM screens are switched on in the order upper, then lower. For training purposes, let’s switch them on in reverse order to see what happens. Switch on the lower ECAM display. MENU MENU 3/50 3/33 3/99 3/49  Notice that E/WD information is displayed on the lower ECAM screen. This occurs because it has priority. Therefore, if there is only one ECAM screen available, the E/WD information will be displayed. Now switch on the upper ECAM display to see what happens. MENU MENU 4/50 4/33 4/99 4/49  Notice that the E/WD information moves to its normal position on the upper ECAM screen and the DOOR/OXY system page is displayed on the lower ECAM screen. The DOOR/OXY page is what the ECAM system will automatically display because you are on the ground with the doors open. MENU MENU 5/50 5/33 5/99 5/49  The MEMO area of the E/WD has a message telling you that refueling is taking place. MENU MENU 6/50 6/33 6/99 6/49  We will now start the APU. When the APU MASTER SW is pushed on, the APU ECAM page automatically appears. Next the START SW is pushed, and the APU begins its automatic start cycle. MENU MENU 7/50 7/33 7/99 7/49  Note that there is no light on the ECAM control panel APU pb, because the APU page has been automatically called as part of a normal sequence. The APU is now running, as evidenced by the AVAIL light on the APU START pb. MENU MENU 8/50 8/33 8/99 8/49  Shortly after the APU start is complete, the ECAM DOOR/OXY page is automatically recalled. MENU MENU 9/50 9/33 9/99 9/49  During the pre-flight, one of the things we do is check fluid levels. For example, the quantity levels for hydraulic fluid and engine oil. The required system pages are manually called by pressing the associated key on the ECAM Control panel. Let’s call the ECAM HYD system page. MENU MENU 10/50 10/33 10/99 10/49  The ECAM HYD system page is displayed. Notice that there is a light on the HYD key on the ECAM control panel to indicate that it was manually selected. You will do the fluid level check in the Hydraulic module so let’s see how to return to the ECAM DOOR/OXY page. To deselect a manually selected ECAM page the lighted key on the ECAM control panel is pressed. Press the HYD key on the ECAM control panel. MENU MENU 11/50 11/33 11/99 11/49  The ECAM DOOR/OXY page is displayed and there are no lights on the ECAM control panel. Remember the lights out philosophy! MENU MENU 12/50 12/33 12/99 12/49  The next action is to press the RECALL pb on the ECAM control panel for at least 3 seconds. Pressing this pb recalls any warnings or cautions that have been cleared since the last power up. MENU MENU 13/50 13/33 13/99 13/49  Since we are starting the aircraft from cold, a NORMAL memo will be seen on the E/WD because there is nothing to recall. MENU MENU 14/50 14/33 14/99 14/49  If we were on a turnaround, the display would recall any Warnings or Cautions that had occurred on the previous flight. In this example a Cancelled Caution concerning the Digital Flight Data Recorder has been recalled. You will see how a Caution is cancelled in the abnormal operation module. MENU MENU 15/50 15/33 15/99 15/49  At this point, the passengers have boarded, the doors have been closed, and the slides armed. On the ECAM DOOR/OXY page observe that there are no amber indications and that there are six white SLIDE indications. MENU MENU 16/50 16/33 16/99 16/49  When the ground personnel attach a tow bar to the aircraft they disconnect part of the nose wheel steering system. The ECAM system will detect this and provide a green memo indication NW STRG DISC. Let’s start the engines. MENU MENU 17/50 17/33 17/99 17/49  The ECAM system will automatically display the ECAM ENG page while the engines are being started. MENU MENU 18/50 18/33 18/99 18/49  Notice that as soon as the first engine is running, the NW STRG DISC memo changes to amber. This happens because ECAM has detected that you are capable of taxiing but you have the steering disconnected. MENU MENU 19/50 19/33 19/99 19/49  When we arm the ground spoilers, a white band appears on the spoiler handle, and a memo appears on the E/WD showing that the ground spoilers have been armed. Also note that the Flap indicator has changed to show the takeoff flap setting. Another part of the After Start check involves checking the STATUS page. Since there is no STATUS reminder at the bottom of the E/WD, the STATUS page obviously is clear. MENU MENU MENU 20/50 20/33 20/99 20/49  Approximately 2 minutes after the second engine has been started a Takeoff memo appears on the E/WD. The TO memo lists a series of actions to be performed before takeoff. In this example, there are blue action items remaining, specifically setting the AUTO BRK to MAX and the T.O. CONFIG test. We will set the auto brakes to MAX for you. MENU MENU 21/50 21/33 21/99 21/49  The blue action item has changed to green: Auto Brakes have been armed to MAX. The final item requires testing the Takeoff Configuration. This is done by pressing the T.O. CONFIG key on the ECAM control panel. Select the T.O. CONFIG key. MENU MENU 22/50 22/33 22/99 22/49  Pressing the T.O.CONFIG key simulates the application of take off power. If the aircraft is not in a takeoff configuration, for example flaps not in the correct configuration, then an ECAM warning or caution will be triggered. The system also checks the side sticks and the flight control computers for faults. Provided ECAM detects that the aircraft is in a normal configuration, then the T.O.CONFIG memo changes to NORMAL. Observe that there are no blue action lines on the E/WD. MENU MENU 23/50 23/33 23/99 23/49  We are now at the threshold about to takeoff MENU MENU 24/50 24/33 24/99 24/49  When the engines are set to take off thrust the ECAM ENGINE page is automatically called. MENU MENU 25/50 25/33 25/99 25/49  On the E/WD notice that: The T.O. memo is replaced by normal memos, A magenta T.O. INHIBIT message has appeared. The T.O. INHIBIT message is advising you that some warnings and cautions have been inhibited during the take off phase. 1500 AGL Take Off MENU MENU 26/50 26/33 26/99 26/49  The aircraft is now airborne. After passing 1500feet AGL, or 2 minutes after lift off, the T.O. INHIBIT ceases and the memo is removed. 1500 AGL MENU MENU 27/50 27/33 27/99 27/49  When the flaps are fully retracted, the ECAM ENGINE page is automatically replaced by the CRUISE page. MENU MENU 28/50 28/33 28/99 28/49  When established in cruise, the system pages are periodically reviewed. Call the ECAM ENGINE page. MENU MENU 29/50 29/33 29/99 29/49  Notice that while the ENGINE page is displayed the corresponding light on ECAM Control Panel ENG pb is illuminated. You will study the indications on the system pages in the appropriate modules so let’s continue with the review. Call the ECAM BLEED page. MENU MENU 30/50 30/33 30/99 30/49 The ECAM PRESS page. MENU MENU 31/50 31/33 31/99 31/49 The ECAM ELEC page. MENU MENU 32/50 32/33 32/99 32/49 The ECAM HYD page. MENU MENU 33/50 33/33 33/99 33/49 The ECAM FUEL page. MENU MENU 34/50 34/33 34/99 34/49 The ECAM APU page. MENU MENU 35/50 35/33 35/99 35/49  Notice that there are amber indications on the APU page. Because the APU is shutdown, these are acceptable for this stage of flight. Call the ECAM COND page. MENU MENU 36/50 36/33 36/99 36/49 The ECAM DOOR/OXY page. MENU MENU 37/50 37/33 37/99 37/49 The ECAM WHEEL page. MENU MENU 38/50 38/33 38/99 38/49 The ECAM F/CTL page. MENU MENU 39/50 39/33 39/99 39/49  After reviewing the F/CTL page the CRUISE page can be recalled. Notice that there is no pb to select the CRUISE page; you have to deselect the manually selected page. Recall the ECAM CRUISE page. MENU MENU 40/50 40/33 40/99 40/49  The CRUISE page is displayed and the ECP has no lights illuminated. As an alternative to selecting the individual system keys, the ALL key can be used to sequence through the system pages. You will do this in the ECAM abnormal operation module. MENU MENU 41/50 41/33 41/99 41/49  We will now establish a descent for landing at our destination. As part of the Approach Checks the STATUS page is checked. Since there is no STS reminder on the E/WD the STATUS page is normal. MENU MENU 42/50 42/33 42/99 42/49 The aircraft is lined up on final approach. MENU MENU 43/50 43/33 43/99 43/49  As the landing gear is extended the ECAM system will automatically display the WHEEL page. The wheel page is displayed to provide information useful for the landing, for example brake temperatures and spoiler deployment. MENU MENU 44/50 44/33 44/99 44/49  On passing 1500 feet, with the gear down, a Landing Memo appears on the E/WD. On modified A320s and on all A319s, the Landing Memo appears at 2000 ft. Note the blue action item reminding you to arm the spoilers. We will arm them for you. MENU MENU 45/50 45/33 45/99 45/49  The blue action line is replaced by a green action completed indication. Notice that there are now no blue action lines outstanding. At approximately 800 feet the landing inhibit becomes active and this is indicated by a magenta memo. The LDG INHIBIT message is advising you that the vast majority of warnings and cautions have been inhibited during the landing phase. Landing MENU MENU 46/50 46/33 46/99 46/49  At engine shutdown the ECAM DOOR/OXY page is automatically recalled so that you can check slide disarming. Notice the pulsing STS message on the E/WD. This is telling you that there is a maintenance related message on the STATUS page that you have not seen. Call the STATUS page. MENU MENU 47/50 47/33 47/99 47/49  There is a white MAINTENANCE status message at the bottom of the STATUS page. This message is an indication for maintenance personnel that a system requires a maintenance procedure at the next programmed servicing. It does not mean that the aircraft is unserviceable. Clear the STATUS page.
