Airbus A220-300 Quick Reference Guide
Taxi (Dep.)
- Breakaway, use minimal thrust. No more than 40% N1 on ground
- Little thrust required to keep movement going
- Should roll at idle thrust but not accelerate
- 90˚ turns, no more than 10kts GS // 20-30kts normal straightaways
- Taxi to runway on Eng. #2 (keep #1 off until departure)
Takeoff
- Flaps 2 (most common for departures)
- Flaps 3 (heavier departures)
- Advance PWR to 55% N1 before applying T/O PWR
- If at MTOW, Rotate around 120-140kts (lighter TOW = lesser speed req’d)
- Positive Rate – Gear up
- Initial pitch 12.5 – 15˚ nose up at a rate of 3-5˚/sec.
- No more than 30˚ bank (15˚ max single engine) above 400ft AGL
- Gusty Winds: A higher takeoff power setting than normal is recommended
Acceleration Alt. (1000ft AFE)
- Set Climb Thrust & adjust as necessary
- Flap Retraction (Sequential/One at a time)
- Clean (gear & flaps up) while accelerating aircraft at a stable rate
Climb
- 250kts to 10,000ft
- CLB Spd: 270-290kts/M0.73-M.75
Cruise
- M0.76-M0.80
Fuel Planning
- For maximum efficiency, step climb as appropriate. Consider taking into account aircraft weight, winds and direction of travel
DO NOT exceed 91% N1 in cruise
Descent
- VNAV as appropriate
Arrival Planning
- 250kts below 10,000ft @ rates ≤1500fpm
- Landing lights on at 10,000ft
Arrival (Configure) Suggested Extension Speeds
- Flaps 1 – 220kts
- Flaps 2 – 200kts
- Flaps 3 – 180kts
- Flaps 4 – 160kts or while slowing to VREF (for FLAP 4 Landing)
- Flaps 5 – Slowing to VREF
Glideslope Capture
-
Flaps 1- During descent & arm speed brakes
-
Flaps 2, Prior to GS/GP intercept
—— Intercept —— -
Flaps 3, Gear down, & start continuous deceleration to Vref
-
Flaps 4 (5) as required prior to Vref
-
Stable prior to 1000ft AGL (2-4˚ pitch nose up on final –> threshold)
Landing
- GPWS callouts
- Begin round out at 50ft and increase pitch to 4-9˚ up. (5˚ works best)
- Once 30ft, retard power to idle slowly
Reversers & Taxi (Arrival)
- @60kts, Reduce to Idle.
- Taxi to parking on Eng. #2 if flaps are to be retracted after an engine shutdown (turn off #1, 2 mins after exiting runway)
- Exit high-speed taxiways at <30kts or 8-12kts any other taxiway
- Start APU on taxi in
- Shutdown engines, lights, turn pax signs off, and open doors.
