AIRBUS A220-300 Flight Simulation User Guide

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.
