THE QRH

IMPORTANT
SCOPE
The QRH contains some specific procedures which are not displayed on the ECAM.
As a general rule, the procedures displayed on the ECAM are not provided in the QRH
(refer to FCOM PRO/ABN).

TASKSHARING FOR ABN/EMER PROC

For all abnormal/emergency procedures, the tasksharing is as follows :
‐ PF - Pilot flying - Responsible for the :
• Thrust levers
• Flight path and airspeed control
• Aircraft configuration (request configuration change)
• Navigation
• Communications

‐ PNF - Pilot non flying - Responsible for the :
• Monitoring and reading aloud the ECAM and checklists
• Performing required actions or actions requested by the PF, if applicable
• Using engine master switches, cockpit C/Bs, IR and guarded switches with PF's confirmation.

ECAM CLEAR

DO NOT CLEAR ECAM WITHOUT CROSS-CONFIRMATION OF BOTH PILOTS.

ABN/EMER PROC INITIATION

Procedures are initiated on pilot flying command.
No action will be taken (apart from audio warning cancel through MASTER WARN light)
until :
‐ The appropriate flight path is established, and
‐ The aircraft is at least 400 ft above the runway, if a failure occurs during takeoff, approach, or go-around.
(In some emergency cases, provided the appropriate flight path is established, the pilot flying may initiate actions before this height).

NORMAL CHECKLIST

Normal C/L are initiated by the PF and read by the PNF.
The PF shall respond after having checked the existing configuration.
When both pilots have to respond, "BOTH" is indicated

USE OF SUMMARIES

GENERAL

In case of an electrical emergency configuration, or a dual hydraulic failure:

The ECAM should be applied first.

This includes both the procedure, and the STATUS section.

Only after announcing "ECAM ACTIONS COMPLETED", should the Pilot Non Flying (PNF) refer to the
corresponding QRH summary.

When a failure occurs, and after performing the ECAM actions, the PNF must refer to the bottom of the
applicable Summary page (below the Go-Around section), in order to determine the landing distance that
takes into account the failure.

For dry and wet runways, the Actual Landing Distances with failure are provided in the SUMMARIES.

These Actual Landing Distances with failure are based on the following assumptions:

‐ The approach speed is VREF + ΔVREF. The speed increment "APPR COR" (when applicable), and the
corresponding landing distance penalties that are required when the A/THR is used, or in the case of
ice accretion on surfaces that are not heated, are not taken into account.
‐ These distances are computed without the benefit of the reverse thrust (i.e. using the LDG DIST
Factors 'WITHOUT REV")

. If the flight crew wants to take into account the benefit of the reverse thrust at landing, the Actual
Landing Distance with failure must be computed by multiplying the two following parameters:

• The LDG DIST Factor "WITH REV" (Refer to the LDG CONF/APPR SPD/LDG DIST tables (QRH
ABN 80)), and
• The Actual Landing Distance without failure (Refer to the Landing Distance table without Autobrake
(CONF FULL).

For contaminated runways, the LDG DIST Factors provided in the SUMMARIES are the LDG DIST
Factors "WITHOUT REV" .

Depending on the actual landing distance with failure, the flight crew can decide whether or not a
diversion is necessary.

APPROACH PREPARATION

As always, approach preparation includes a review of the ECAM STATUS.

After reviewing the STATUS, the PNF should refer to the "CRUISE" section of the summary, to determine
the VREF correction, and compute the VAPP.

A VREF table is provided in the summary.

The LANDING and GO-AROUND sections of the summary should be used for the approach briefing.
APPROACH

The APPR PROC actions should be performed by reading the APPROACH section of the summary.

The PNF should then review the ECAM STATUS, and check that all the APPR PROC actions have
been completed.


GENERAL INFORMATION

EFFECTIVITY

As QRH is published at aircraft level, each paper page has only one effectivity.

PAGE NUMBERING

The page numbering follows the following rules:
00, 01, 02, ... : Numbering for ABN, GEN, OPS, OEB PROC sections
01A, 03B, ..... : Numbering and index (A, B, ...) for procedures written on several paper pages
1/10, 3/5, .... : Numbering for NP-NP, FPE-SPO
C1, C2 ........ : Index of the back cover page interior
C3 ............ : Index of the back cover page exterior

"BLANK" : Index of an intentionally left blank paper page created to ensure the correct
format of the next chapter (begins on recto page)

PRELIMINARY PAGES WITHIN THE QRH BINDER

It is essential for Airlines to correctly manage the updates of the QRH.

For this purpose, Airbus publishes Preliminary Pages with each QRH revision.

These Preliminary Pages are used as reference documents for Airlines to manage the QRH
updates, e.g. easily insert the revisions, identify the modifications that
impact the QRH, get a synthesis of changes introduced with each revision.

However, when the QRH revisions have been incorporated in accordance
with the information given in the Preliminary Pages,
these pages do not bring operational added value and therefore are no longer useful in the QRH binder
for any operational purposes.

Therefore, to minimize the size of the QRH binder on board the aircraft
and to optimize the operational use of the QRH, Airbus has no objection that the Airlines remove the
Preliminary Pages from the QRH after the revisions have been incorporated in the QRH and all checks
performed to confirm the revisions have been correctly incorporated.

You will find below the list of Preliminary Pages that may be removed from the QRH binder :

‐ The Transmittal Letter
‐ The Filing Instructions
‐ The List of Effective Documentary Units (the LESS is the reference)
‐ The list of Modifications
‐ The Summary of Highlights
‐ The front pages of all QRH sections
‐ The Table of Contents (TOC) of the General section
‐ The Table of Contents (TOC) of the Operations Engineering Bulletins section (the LEOEB is the
reference)
‐ All pages numbered "00" and "00A" of the Operations Engineering Bulletins section (approval DU of the
OEBs)
‐ This General Information (GEN.03) section
