NSU.21 AIR CONDITIONING
NSU.21.1 OVBD Valve Operation on Ground
_8717a3bd-7b0e-4ee1-989e-89bd027edbf1 13 NOV 2019
ALL
When the OVBD VALVE CTL sw is set to AUTO mode, the extract fan runs continuously and
the OVBD valve is:
- Open as long as the engine 1 is not running (oil low PRESS signal),or
- Closed as soon as the engine 1 is running.
After boarding, when door is closed (engine 1 not running = OVBD valve open), if the
OVBD VALVE CTL sw remains in AUTO position the extract fan suction will create a very
noticeable pressurization change. This phenomenon becomes more important when operating
with GPU than in hotel mode due to absence of inlet air flow.
In order to avoid this not comfortable situation, when cockpit preparation is performed and, in
any case before closing the passengers door, the cockpit communication hatch must be
opened.
It will be closed after engine 1 start.
Note
Before closing, the temperature selectors can be set to FULL COLD position in order to limit
the packs air flow and therefore avoid a pressure shock.

NSU.21.2 Air Conditioning


_ef6c6e42-3570-40df-8f33-aed48e75765e 21 SEP 2017
ALL
When operating from airfields with high OAT, it is essential to cool down the cabin before
boarding passengers: This is best achieved by the use of a ground conditioning unit, but can
also be done through the use of Hotel Mode.

AH / 75 NORMAL OPERATIONS
FCOM NORMAL SYSTEM USE Page n°04

In that case the following instructions will be applied:


- As soon as OAT exceeds 22 °C and aircraft has remained exposed to direct sun, pre-
conditioning becomes necessary for passengers comfort, before boarding
- Enable a reasonable period of time for pre-conditioning, and use up to MAXIMUM
POWER AVAILABLE ON R/H ENGINE (GUST LOCK STOP) together with HI flow
selection.
Note
1) HI flow is very effective when R/H PL is advanced beyond GI.
2) Correct orientation of the aircraft on Parking area (wind blowing from 10 o’clock
ideally) during Hotel Mode pre-conditioning is more appropriate as it gives better
efficiency and enables to continue pre-conditioning during AFT CARGO loading
(hot air from RH engine exhaust blown away from service door).
- If for any reasons, it has not been possible to bring cabin temperature down to
comfortable values prior to boarding, the following instructions will apply:
o Packs operation during taxi should be performed with HI FLOW selected
o Switch FLOW selection to NORM before takeoff, but keep bleeds on, unless
performance limited
o As soon as CLB POWER is selected after takeoff, select HI flow and maintain HI
flow until comfortable cabin temp is obtained
o During cruise, monitor cabin temperature when operating in NORM flow: If cabin
temperature increases again above comfortable values, use HI flow as necessary.

NSU.21.3 TEMP Control


_b1b84166-d7c0-4930-8f9b-c9f8679c4733 06 MAY 2020
ALL
Temperature control is normally achieved in AUTO MODE, which has all necessary protections
to avoid damage to packs turbine due to freezing.
In case of duct overheating, manual mode is recommended.
As manual mode has no protections against freezing, the following considerations must be
applied:
- Do not use temperature selector in manual mode unless auto mode is not operative
- To avoid pack freezing in manual mode, monitor duct temperature and maintain it
positive.

NSU.21.4 Air Pressurization


_e7fd17aa-42c9-4860-b008-d9fc4e2fc50e 21 FEB 2019
ALL
1) AUTO Mode Operation
Since the pressure control is fully automatic, the flight crew action is limited to the setting of
the LANDING ELEVATION.

PROCEDURES

AH / 75 NORMAL OPERATIONS
FCOM NORMAL SYSTEM USE Page n°05
cont'd…

In order to avoid pressure transients:


- When switching from AUTO to MAN operation:
1) Turn the MAN RATE knob to MAN position
2) Select MAN mode by using the CAB PRESS panel MODE SEL pb
3) Operate the MAN RATE knob as required to set cabin rate.
- When switching from MAN to AUTO operation:
1) Disengage MAN mode by using CAB PRESS panel MODE SEL pb
2) Turn the MAN RATE knob smoothly to NORM position.
2) Takeoff
Before takeoff, both bleed valves are selected ON or OFF based on engine operating
instructions. The regulation will start after takeoff when the bleed valves are selected ON.
If a failure occurs after T.O and the flight crew decides to return to that same airport before
reaching 3 500 ft above departure airfield elevation, the system memorizes the T.O altitude
and no flight crew action is required.
3) In-flight Control
The controller computes a theoretical cabin altitude function of:
- Landing elevation selected
- T.O elevation memorized
- Cabin pressure
- Aircraft altitude.
And adjusts cabin rate of climb to match current cabin altitude with this computed altitude or
the landing elevation whichever is higher.
The extreme values for cabin rate of change are:
- +550 ft/min during cabin climb (1) up to ZA = 20 000 ft
- +620 ft/min during cabin climb above ZA = 20 000 ft
- -400 ft/min during cabin normal descent
- -500 ft/min during cabin rapid descent (DESCENT RATE pb selected FAST).
(1) The Cabin Rate after TO can be from around +1 200 ft/min to +1 300 ft/min followed by
-500 ft/min (due to a transition phase of the Outflow valves position during few seconds just
after TO).
Then the airport altitude is maintained until 3 500 ft AGL to cover the air turn back. Finally,
after 3 500 ft AGL the cabin rate stabilizes around +550 ft/min as extreme value for cabin
rate up to ZA = 20 000 ft.

NSU.21.5 Depressurization
_bab8131f-7f21-465d-bada-d26041ecc7e6 17 AUG 2017
ALL
Before landing, to avoid a cabin pressure shock at touchdown, the cabin altitude is
automatically maintained at selected landing elevation minus 300 ft.
After touchdown (landing gear absorber compressed), a depressurization signal is received by
the controller. The cabin rate of depressurization is controlled at +550 ft/min up to the full
opening of the outflow valves.

NSU.22.2 MAIN RULES OF USE


NSU.22.2.1 Main Rules of Use
_ee01744b-ed03-49fa-97d5-7ee1d858932f 08 APR 2019
ALL
- AP and YD cannot be engaged on ground: Any attempt to do it will result in the message
“NO ENGAGEMENT ON GROUND” being displayed on ADU
- FD is available on ground as soon as DC normal buses are powered, but FD bars are
displayed only if:
o One upper mode is selected on each axis (Green indication on ADU and EADI)
o FD ON/OFF sw (on flight crew panels) is ON
Note
- Select FD BARS sw OFF on one side, removes FD bars display on this side
without deselecting the active mode which remains available on the other
EADI
- STBY pb on AP control panel deactivates all active and armed upper
modes, which cause both FD bars to disappear on both EADI.
- There is only one AP/FD computer, but the references to be flown can be coupled to left
or right by the CPL pb. Changes of CPL side while coupled to VOR or LOC will drop the
lateral mode.
- Modes are engaged (GREEN indication on ADU and EADI) or armed (WHITE indication
on ADU and EADI) by action on the applicable pushbutton on AFCS control panel.
ADU or EADI must be monitored for current state of modes of AP/YD:
A second push on the pushbutton associated to a mode already engaged (or armed)
disengages (or disarms) it.
- ALT SEL mode is automatically armed as soon as the flight path is directed towards the
altitude set on ADU by the ALT knob. All altitudes clearance given by ATC must
systematically be set on ADU to ensure automatic level off when AP is engaged (or FD
followed in case of manual flight)
Note
If altimeter setting is changed on the coupled side after ALT mode has been engaged,
the AP will automatically bring back the aircraft to the altitude selected on ADU, based
on the new baro-setting.
If the flight crew modifies the ALT SEL knob position during ALT capture (ALT*), the AP/
FD reverts to a vertical basic mode.
- When HDG changes are performed with the HDG mode active, maximum bank angle
can be chosen by cycling the BANK pb for HI (27 °) or LO (15 °) limit as appropriate.
This enables AFCS maneuvering in all conditions, including early climb after takeoff or
go-around where speed can be down to Vmin LO BANK (VmLB).
Note
Following engine failure, autopilot can be used for climb out at V2min AFTER LATERAL
TRIMMING HAS BEEN ACHIEVED.

- LATERAL TRIM with autopilot engaged


o Trim on ROLL axis is inhibited when there is no RETRIM ROLL request set on
ADU
o As there is no auto-trim on both ROLL and YAW axis, it is the flight crew duty to
maintain lateral trimming when speed or power is substantially changed.
this is primarily achieved by maintaining the slip indicator (ball) centered by use of
rudder trim
o The autopilot will indicate only roll out of trim, by a message (RETRIM ROLL L (OR
R) WING DN). When this message is displayed on ADU, and if the roll trim position
is at a normal setting (< ± 1 dot):
- Check and trim first if necessary yaw axis using small input technique
- Monitor the effect on ball for at least 10 s before any additional input
- If ADU message is still active when the ball is centered: trim roll axis,
monitoring carefully direction and duration of roll trim input. However, trim
input in the incorrect direction is inhibited.
o If excessive lateral trim is required or AILERON MISTRIM message is displayed on
ADU:
- DISCONNECT AP, HOLDING FIRMLY THE CONTROLS
- FLY MANUALLY BEFORE ADJUSTING LATERAL TRIMS
- The autopilot can be reengaged following adjustment of the lateral trims.
- AUTOPILOT/YD DISCONNECT
Autopilot can be disconnected by:
o QUICK DISCONNECT on each control column
o AP engage on AFCS panel
o GA mode activation
o NORM or STBY PITCH TRIM activation
o Stall warning
o Flight crew force on the control column (pitch axis) over 100 N (22 lb)
Yaw Damper and consequently AP can be disconnected by:
o YD engage on AFCS panel
o Flight crew input on rudder of 300 N (66 lb) or more
o At touchdown when landing.
CAUTION
Overriding the Autopilot on roll axis will not result in AP disconnect.
Note
If the flight crew OVERLOOK the fact that the autopilot is engaged and push or pull the
control column, normal reaction of the autotrim will oppose to the flight crew action in running
the pitch trim in the opposite direction, eventually to the stop.
Disconnecting the autopilot after such a FLIGHT CREW INDUCED APPARENT TRIM
RUNAWAY WOULD RESULT IN A LARGE OUT OF TRIM CONDITION.
The QUICK DISCONNECT pb is recommended all normal AP disengagement as it leaves the
YD operating.

A second push on the QUICK DISCONNECT pb will also cancel both audio and visual
AUTOPILOT OFF warnings.
Note
Function of AP/YD are monitored on three axes.
When a monitored failure is detected, the AP/YD disengages and failure message are
displayed on ADU (AFCS invalid or AP invalid).When these CAUTION messages are cleared
by the flight crew (within 45 s), the AP computer attempts a “monitor recovery” in order to
reset itself to a valid configuration. When the AP computer power up test is completed, the
AP/YD can once again be engaged. If the failure condition upon engagement is still present,
the AFCS will again disengage. However, after the caution messages are cleared, the
recovery function will not prompt another automatic AP computer power up.
On ground, AP computer power up has to be performed, if needed, by cycling the C/B AFCS
CMPTR (on overhead panel).
Automatic AP computer power up is inhibited if:
- AP, YD, or AFCS control panel is lost, or
- Pitch trim fail alert is lost, or
- Any approach mode is engaged, or
- Go-around mode is engaged, or
- LOC or BC track mode is engaged.

NSU.22.3.4 Climb
_6544d41e-58ec-4fcb-b9a3-5837f8ce5a48 16 JUN 2017
ALL
Use IAS with climb speed (or VS) with associated target values set by pitch wheel. IAS mode
should be preferred to VS mode, unless a vertical speed constraint is given by ATC.
CAUTION
The flight crew must always monitor IAS carefully, especially in VS and PITCH modes as well
as during ALT* phase.
Note
1) During climb in VS or PITCH mode with a rate exceeding the aircraft performance the
airspeed will continuously decrease
2) When climbing in turbulences and/or vertical wind gradient conditions, ALT* mode can
be engaged with a VS exceeding the aircraft performance capability, and then IAS may
significantly decrease before reaching the selected Altitude

1) Before approach (assuming vector to final axis):
- Set approach course on CRS selector and tune ILS frequency
- Use HDG mode to intercept LOC as appropriate
- Arm both LOC and GS by pressing APP pb on AFCS panel.
Note
- LOC beam capture must be started (LOC* green on both EADI and ADU) before GS
capture can occur
- LOC beam capture may result in one initial overshoot when the capture conditions
are severe (Intercept Heading = RWY HDG ± 90 °, high IAS, reduced distance to the
ILS transmitter), but, provided the distance is at least 5 Nm at the standard
instrument capture speed of 180 kt, this initial overshoot will be followed by an
asymptotic capture without further oscillation, even with a 90 ° intercept angle
- During LOC capture, the bank angle limit is raised to 30 °.
2) When LOC beam capture is started (LOC* green on both EADI and ADU):
- Set RWY HDG with HDG bug
- Closely monitor G/S deviations
- Regularly cross check aircraft position with Final Approach Point altitude and distance
(based on approach charts).
Note
The flight crew should be prepared to take over control in the case of a spurious G/S*,
pitch movement or any flight path deviation.
3) When GLIDE beam capture is started (G/S* green on both EADI and ADU):
- Check glide slope capture (altitude versus distance with approach chart)
- Set go-around altitude.

NSU.24.1 Use of a Weak DC GPU
_2adb2576-f34c-4365-b432-af4018139d7b 21 SEP 2020
ALL
The specification of the DC GPU requires the ground unit to be able to provide a steady current
of 300 to 400 A under 28 V to ensure correct functioning of all electrical services before start
up.
For engine start, the GPU must be able to provide ADDITIONAL STARTER CURRENT of
1 000 A while keeping more than 12 V.
Experience shows that many “28 V DC” GPUs have a much lower power capability.
1) Ground Operation without Engines Running
If it becomes necessary to use an under-rated DC GPU, the following procedure is
recommended:
▶ Select DC GPU ON and check DC EXT PWR voltage on maintenance panel: With a
weak GPU, voltage will be significantly below 28 V
▶ Initiate LOAD SHEDDING of following equipment as needed, in order to recover as
much voltage as possible:
▶ PACKS VALVES (BOTH)................................ ................................ SELECT OFF
Load saving: 1 x 2 = 2 A
▶ FUEL PUMPS (BOTH).................................. .................................. SELECT OFF
Load saving: 10 x 2 = 20 A
▶ RECIRC FANS (BOTH)................................. ................................. SELECT OFF
Load saving: 28.5 x 2 = 57 A
▶ UPR PASS LIGHTS SWITCH............................. ............................. SELECT OFF
(On cabin attendant panel).
Load saving: 39 A

CAUTION
▶ If DC EXT PWR voltage on maintenance panel is below 26 V despite the full load
shedding, the GPU MUST BE CONSIDERED AS COMPLETELY UNUSABLE.
■ If DC EXT PWR voltage on maintenance panel is above 26 V
The DC GPU may be used to maintain aircraft batteries charge whilst using all other
ground services normally (cargo door, refuelling, cabin lighting, etc...).

NSU.24.2 Load Survey with Weak Battery


_040468f8-2c77-417d-b62e-1e5763492de5 REV 07 SEP 2023
ALL
- The battery is considered in good state of charge when the power is at or above 25 V
- It may occur that a battery is weak especially after a stop where external DC power
supply is not available and hotel mode is not used if:
o Refuelling is performed with battery switched ON
o Cargo door is operated several times
o Cargo door operating panel remains open too long
o Minimum cabin light is too much used.
In order to preserve batteries power, ATR recommends to minimize such actions.
- Immediately after starting engine 2 with a weak battery, the 600 A DC GEN load 2 min
duration limitation may be exceeded due to the charge current which alone may reach
300 A.
In that case, automatic protection engages which may result in:
o DC SVCE and UTLY BUS shedding
o DC BTC opening (and loss of DC BUS 1)
o DC GEN 2 isolation (and loss of DC BUS 2).
- In order to avoid this succession of disconnections, following procedure is recommended
after engine 2 start:
o Monitor DC GEN 2 load on the LH maintenance panel
o As required to stay within limits (practically to maintain DC GEN 2 load below
450 A), switch off as appropriate.
- DC SVCE and UTLY BUS (including both RECIRC fans control): ≈ 120 A
- LH FUEL PUMP: 10 A
- Both RECIRC fans: ≈ 50 A.
o Off loaded equipment may be turned ON again as charging current decreases and
consequently DC GEN load reduces.

ALL
Aircraft is equipped with classical mechanical primary flight controls on all three axis.
CAUTION
In the case of an engine rotor burst, one or several primary control cables can be damaged.
In this case, if sufficient authority can not be obtained by use of the normal controls, the AP
should be immediately engaged to control the initial disturbance as well as the subsequent
return and landing.
Once the AP is engaged, keep in mind that the occurrence of stall warning would disconnect
it. Lateral trimmers are still available and have to be used as much as required to coordinate
the flight.

NSU.27.2 PITCH
NSU.27.2.1 Pitch
_0abd6b04-0a2b-44c7-994b-207886e992af 12 NOV 2019
ALL
In flight aggressive or large elevators input should be avoided. Such inputs may lead to high
loads and result in structural damage.
CAUTION
The aircraft must be controlled from one control column only. Dual input in opposite direction
may result in a pitch disconnect.
Both elevators are connected through a pitch uncoupling device, in order to leave sufficient
controllability in case of mechanical jamming of one control surface.
Activation of this device:
- Requires heavy forces (520 N / 114 lb) to be applied to the control columns, which
minimizes the risk of untimely disconnection
- Noticed to the flight crew through the red warning « PITCH DISCONNECT »
- Permits the flight to be safely continued after activation
- Once activated can only be reset by maintenance.
If pitch disconnect occurred on ground or during landing phase, PITCH RECONNECTION ON
GROUND procedure can be applied. Else maintenance action is required.

CAUTION
1) WHEN PITCH DISCONNECT takes place WITHOUT REAL JAMMING, speed has to
be limited to 180 kt and bank angle to 30 ° until flaps extension to avoid overstressing
the stabilizer
2) The TWO sticks must be held once the aircraft is landed.
3) When elevators are uncoupled, dual opposite inputs from left and right control columns
are strictly forbidden as it may result in structural damage to the horizontal stabilizer.

_c456fbd4-1159-4337-a3ab-015470396b64 19 SEP 2017
ALL
1) Aileron Spring Tabs
Flight controls are connected to the ailerons through the spring tabs, therefore, maintaining
the flight controls to neutral on the ground would not prevent the ailerons from oscillating in
case of strong tailwind (> 30 kt).
Therefore, in strong wind conditions it is recommended:
- To disengage the gust lock only when necessary before takeoff
- After landing, to engage the gust lock before a turn that would expose the aircraft to a
tailwind component.
If aileron lock is not available, it is easier to maintain the ailerons fully deflected.
2) Aileron Trim
Ailerons forces trimming is obtained by shifting the zero position of the left aileron spring tab:
This means that AILERON TRIM indicator is only representative of the differential loading of
the spring tab and not of the aileron position.

ALL
The rudder incorporates several particular features.
1) The Releasable Centering Unit (Threshold Cam)
This threshold cam automatically synchronizes to actual rudder pedal position each time the
rudder trim switch is activated.
Therefore before takeoff, rudder trim setting to zero must be made with rudder pedals in
neutral position.
2) The Rudder Surface Damper
Structural protection of the rudder assembly against effect of wind gusts on ground is
ensured by a rudder surface damper, which is designed to prevent excessive speed of
deviations of the rudder surface.

cont'd…
[Link]
PROCEDURES

AH / 75 NORMAL OPERATIONS
FCOM NORMAL SYSTEM USE Page n°20
cont'd…

When taxiing with strong winds, very large rudder forces would be required to control the
rudder surface: This is not necessary and rudder should be left « floating » in the wind as
the damper will effectively prevent any structural damage.
3) The Rudder Trim
Rudder forces trimming is obtained by shifting the zero position of the spring tab: this means
that « RUDDER TRIM INDICATIONS » are only representative of the differential loading of
the spring tab, AND NOT OF THE RUDDER POSITION.
Note
As speed increases, rudder trim deviation as large as 3 dots on the right may be noted
while rudder surface remains substantially at neutral.
4) The Yaw Damper
Yaw damper function is provided through the YAW CHANNEL of the AP and should always
be engaged in flight to enhance passenger comfort.
In order to let the rudder axis free for flight crew inputs (engine failure) without the need to
disconnect the YAW DAMPER, a force sensor has been implemented and any flight crew
force exceeding 300 N / 66 lb applied on rudder will cause the YD disengagement.
5) The TLU
This device limits pedals travel in order to prevent any damageable rudder travel when flying
at high speed.

NSU.27.4.2 Recommendations for Use


_66cfec70-2264-41ba-a511-73c06aae83d5 16 JUN 2017
ALL
In order to avoid exceeding structural loads on the rudder and vertical stabilizer, the following
recommendations must be observed.

cont'd…
[Link]
PROCEDURES

AH / 75 NORMAL OPERATIONS
FCOM NORMAL SYSTEM USE Page n°21
cont'd…

1) The Rudder is Designed to Control the Aircraft in the Following Circumstances


1) In normal operations, for directional control
- During the takeoff roll, when on ground, especially in crosswind condition
- During landing flare with crosswind, for decrab maneuver
- During the landing roll, when on ground
- The rudder may be used as deemed necessary, for turn coordination to prevent
excessive sideslip.
2) To compensate thrust asymmetry
Full rudder authority can be used to compensate for the yawing moment of
asymmetric thrust.
Note
At high speed (i.e. flaps up), thrust asymmetry (i.e. due to an engine failure) has
relatively small effect on lateral control of the aircraft. The amount of rudder required
to compensate an engine failure and center the sideslip is small.
3) In some other abnormal situations
The rudder may also be used in some abnormal situations such as:
- Runaway rudder trim. The rudder pedals may be used to return the rudder to
neutral
- Aileron jam. The rudder may be used to smoothly control the roll
- Landing gear unsafe indication (gear not downlocked). When a main landing
gear is not downlocked, the rudder may be used to establish sideslip in an
attempt to downlock the landing gear by aerodynamic side forces
- Landing with landing gear not downlocked. The rudder can be used for
directional control on ground.
In all these normal or abnormal circumstances, correct rudder maneuvers will not
affect the structural integrity of the aircraft.
2) Rudder should not Be Used
- To induce roll, except in the previous case (Aileron jam), or
- To compensate roll, induced by any type of turbulence.
Whatever the airborne flight condition may be, aggressive, full, or nearly full, opposite rudder
inputs must not be applied. Such inputs can result in loads higher than the limit, or possibly
the ultimate loads and can result in structural damage or failure.
Note
Rudder reversals must never be inserted into airline policy, including so-called “aircraft
defensive maneuvers” to disable or incapacitate hijackers.
As far as dutch roll is concerned, yaw damper action (if selected) or Releasable Centering
Unit (RCU) are sufficient to correctly stop dutch roll oscillations. The rudder should not be
used to complement the yaw damper action.

1 FUEL CROSSFEED
Enables feeding of 1 or 2 engines from either side tank, particularly for fuel balancing.

Procedure
Refer to AFM - "Normal fuel condition" part of FUEL UNBALANCED procedure
Note
Each electrical pump is able to supply one engine in the whole flight envelope.
One electrical pump and associated jet pump are able to supply both engines in the
whole flight envelope.
When X FEED is selected « in line », both electrical pumps are forced to run (both RUN
lights come on green) as long as associated PUMP pb is selected ON.
CAUTION
▶ When X FEED procedure is applied, fuel transfer from the wing tank (pump running
side) to the other wing tank (pump OFF) can occur.
This transfer is particularly perceivable at low power settings (X FEED in Hotel

_33c730e1-9577-4cbe-9283-e739c5c00090 26 OCT 2021
ALL
1) In Flight
Accurate readings require aircraft levelled without sideslip and pitch attitude close to zero
degree.
2) On Ground
Accurate readings should be made with aircraft static (not taxiing) and fuel pumps running
for more than 4 min.
This procedure should be applied each time a comparative reading before and after flight is
intended with correlation to fuel used.
3) Comments
- Fuel quantity indications are affected by excessive longitudinal and lateral attitudes
and accelerations
- Fuel quantity indications are affected by the level of fuel in the feed tank. With pumps
running, the feed tanks are filled within a few minutes. This is the normal flight case.

Each tank is equipped with two indicators:
- One in the inner part of the wing (between the engine and the fuselage)
- One in the outer part of the wing.
- Read and note roll aircraft attitude on clinometer in the hydraulic bay (LH landing gear
fairing).
Aircraft bank angle is positive for wing up, negative for wing down.
Note
Pitch attitude must be between -3 ° and +1 °. In this case pitch has no influence.
- Position access platform
- Unlock indicator rod with screwdriver and slowly withdraw rod until magnetic attraction
between rod and float magnets is felt
- Check rod freedom by pushing up both rod and float magnet
- Slowly withdraw rod down to floating level
- Note the graduation on rod which aligns with wing bottom surface
- Put back indicator and lock with screwdriver.
- If both gauges indications do not indicate extremum values (0 cm or 30 cm for inner
gauge, 0 cm or 19 cm for outer gauge), disregard clinometer indication. Fuel quantity is
determined thanks to internal and external indicator reading
Note
Clinometer indication is disregarded for accuracy purposes.
- If one gauge indicates an extremum value (0 cm or 30 cm for inner gauge, 0 cm or
19 cm for outer gauge), disregard this extremum value. Use clinometer indication and
the other gauge value.

ALL

CAUTION
If the blue hydraulic circuit is pressurized, switch off the Nose Wheel Steering (NWS) for
towing by a ground vehicle.
The aircraft can easily taxi forward or backward on one engine without limitations. Normal
Procedure is as follows:
1) ENG2 in HOTEL MODE before and during passenger embarkation
2) Initial taxi on ENG2 only (including backward taxi if required).
Note
- This procedure can be used because Ground Idle (GI) power on one engine is
sufficient to taxi (OUT and IN) and reduces taxi fuel consumption (significantly in large
airports)
- Use of the taxi procedure on one engine remains at operator’s discretion and taxi on
both engines is recommended.
CAUTION
Start up of engine 1 should be performed in a portion of taxi where captain workload is low
enough to allow an efficient monitoring of the start up.
To reduce the use of brakes during taxi, apply a small amount of reverse to decelerate, as
necessary
Turn radius with NWS is sufficient, and does not require any differential braking on the inner
wheels.
CAUTION
Brake pivot turn (sharp turn) is prohibited, except in emergency.

ALL
- Emergency braking has been made operationally easier by design of the
parking brake lever which incorporates an “EMER BRAKE” notch.
When the parking brake lever is set in this notch, the regulator provides a limited
pressure which:
o Enables the use of EMER BRAKING for abort takeoff at MAX V1 or at touchdown
for landings after GREEN pressure has been completely lost
o Provides repeatable, smooth deceleration whilst minimize the risk of blown up tires.
CAUTION
Use of EMER BRAKE beyond the EMER BRAKE notch above 60 kt must be avoided to
prevent wheels lock up and damages to wheels and tires.
Below 60 kt, a SMALL further travel (∼ 1 cm) is available without risks of damage when
maximum stopping performance is required.
- A deflated tire is not easily noticeable from the cockpit : NO TAKEOFF should be started
after EMER BRAKE has been used at speeds in excess of a maximum taxiing speed of
20 kt without prior visual inspection of the main landing gear tires.

- Antiskid inoperative (Refer to AFM - Dispatch with Antiskid System Inoperative).
Methodology
The Maximum Weight Limited by Braking Energy tables are computed for normal and
delayed braking, depending on Flaps setting and landing cases.
Determine Maximum Weight Limited by Braking Energy for normal braking. In the case of
limitation and if runway length permits, consider the use of delayed braking. In order to
check the effect of delayed braking on landing distance, Refer to Actual Landing Distance -

AHRS alignment sequence occurs as soon as the battery is switched ON, and it takes
nominally 3 min DURING WHICH AIRCRAFT MUST NOT BE MOVED.
To know the remaining time for AHRS alignment, depress AHRS FAST ERECT pb.
The heading which can be read on the associated EHSI indicate the time remaining (in
seconds) for AHRS alignment (example : heading 090 = 1 min and 30 s). Then release AHRS
FAST ERECT pb.
AHRS are not affected by electrical transients associated with engine start.
ON GROUND ONLY, if needed, AHRS reset can be performed by cycling all related C/B
OFF-ON.

Note
- The beginning of the 3 min alignment period can be observed as it is associated with a
brief display of horizon tilted 30 ° to the right without flag
- Nearby buildings during taxiing may generate magnetic disturbances that result in flux
valves discrepancy and generate an EFIS COMP alert. In this case, it is not
recommended to reset AHRS, the alert should disappear at holding point.
CAUTION
The reset of C/B AHRS in flight is not recommended as in flight realignment requires 3 min of
very stable flight (which may be impossible to get in turbulence) and possibility of pulling
the wrong C/B could result in complete AHRS failure unrecoverable for the rest of the flight.
CAUTION
Flight crew must be aware of possible induced attitudes and heading errors in case of
continuous turns, particularly in high latitudes countries. Therefore racetrack holding patterns
are to be flown rather than circles.

NSU.34.3.1 Weather Radar
_01886047-c2b3-46bd-a2d4-c7c923dadec8 12 NOV 2019
ALL
If the aircraft is airborne, the weather radar emits power when operating in any mode other than
STBY or OFF.
The weather radar contains a forced standby (FSBY) function that allows to force the radar into
standby automatically thanks to the WEIGHT ON WHEELS switch. So when the aircraft is on
ground, the weather radar transmissions are normally inhibited, even when TEST mode is
selected.
During all the Weather radar test duration, make sure that:
- On panel 702VU, WEIGHT ON WHEELS sw is on NORM position
- The aircraft is not on jacks
- On panel 8VU, on weather radar control box, STAB pb is not pressed.

Two different routes can be prepared before each flight:
-RTE 1 can be used for the route from origin to destination and will be activated before
takeoff
- RTE 2 can be used for the route from destination to alternate and will then be activated
only in case of diversion.
Before creating a route, make sure that RTE 1 or RTE 2 pages have been completely erased.
Selecting or re-selecting the origin airport will automatically erase the associated route.
Details of the procedure to create a route are given in the Pilot’s Guide.
After activation of the route, the flight crew initializes entries via multifunction control system
(MCDU).

ALL
The HT 1000 basic navigation is provided by the GPS. When the GPS receiver is failed,
deselected, or the satellite coverage is insufficient, the navigation automatically reverts to the
DME/DME mode or DR mode (based on the navigation solution hierarchy).
Note
This DME/DME mode is available only if aircraft is equipped with two DME receivers.

Displays
_a90e4f7d-d4ed-4bfa-9b5f-73255896ae52 16 JUN 2017
ALL
GNSS mode is selected by pressing the RNV pb on the EFIS control panel.
GNSS can be presented either in OBS mode or MAP mode. The selection is done by repetitive
action on the MAP pb of the EFIS control panel.
OBS mode presents conventional lateral guidance on the active leg. In this mode the desired
track selection is made by the HT 1000 (course selectors on glareshield panel are not
operative).
In MAP mode multiple WPT and/or additional symbols as holding pattern, DME arcs and
procedure turns will be presented.
Note
Symbols do not reflect the exact path but indicate the type of path to fly.
The “to wpt” is displayed in magenta, all other wpt are white, a white track line connects the
wpts. The symbol for a holding pattern is an oval associated with a H letter. The symbol for a
DME arc is a 90 ° arc with an arrowhead associated with a A letter.
The procedure turns is displayed with two lines indicating inbound and outbound leg.

1) Coupling of GNSS Navigation to AP/FD
- Select RNAV source on the EFIS control panel
- Select MAP mode on the EFIS control panel
- Adjust range using the WX radar range selector
- Check aircraft position related to flight plan
- If necessary, come back on track or perform a Direct to the active waypoint
- Select NAV mode on AFCS (LNAV comes on green).
Note
GNSS is not coupled to the AP/FD in vertical mode. The vertical deviation is advisory only
on the EFIS.
2) Navigation Monitoring
- Maintain HDG bug on actual aircraft heading
- Monitor the sequencing of the waypoints on the MCDU (ACT RTE 1/2 LEGS page)
and make sure that there is no discontinuity.
CAUTION
1) When flying over a WPT followed by a discontinuity, the AP will revert to the basic
lateral mode, maintaining the wings levelled. The message “CPL DATA INVALID” will
appear on the AFCS.
2) When in LNAV mode, switching of AP/FD between Captain and First Officer will
disengage the LNAV mode even if both sides are in GNSS mode. LNAV mode can
be reengaged.
3) Navigation with OFFSET
When a parallel offset has been activated OFS will be permanently displayed in cyan above
the aircraft symbol when in MAP mode or in the left upper part of the EHSI when in
ROSE/ARC mode. The leg presented on the MAP display is not the offset leg but the XTK
value presented below the aircraft symbol is related to the offset. Therefore it is normal, in
such a situation, to see the aircraft symbol aside the active leg with a XTK value showing
00.0 L/R.
4) ETOPS Operation
Before ETOPS operation, a Fault Detection and Exclusion (FDE) check must be performed
on the ground.
Refer to Pilot’s Guide for this procedure.
5) Return to Standard Display
- Check HDG bug on aircraft present heading
- Select HDG mode on AFCS
- Select V/L source on EFIS control panel
- Select bearing ○ and ◊ as required.

- In the event of DGR alarm display the flight crew must X check the aircraft position using
conventional means or must revert to an alternative means of navigation
- In addition, where the coupled DME option is not installed or if the coupled DME is not
operative, the following procedures apply for RNAV 5 operations:
1) During the pre-flight planning phase, the availability of GPS integrity (RAIM) must
be confirmed for the intended flight (route and time). Dispatch must not be made in
the event of predicted continuous loss of RAIM of more than 5 min for any part of
the intended flight
2) Traditional navigation equipment must be selected to available aids so as to enable
immediate crosschecking or reversion in the event of loss of GPS navigation
capability.

ADC switching should be alternated every other day (ADC 1 odd days, ADC 2 even days).
Before initiating start sequence EEC FAULT light must be OFF, if EEC FAULT is ON try to
reset. If unsuccessful, deselect EEC.
During engine start or relighting, the following items must be monitored:
- Correct NH increase when starting the sequence
- Starter disconnection at 45 % NH
- Maximum ITT: during a battery start one or two ITT peaks not exceeding 800 °C can
usually be observed. ITT peaks are of lower value if a suitable GPU is used.
This example shows the start sequence of engine N° 1 on ground (engine 2 running)

NSU.70.2 Use of Bleed Valves for Takeoff


_7c38ddc1-ae45-4051-9a44-46fc1ec9afff 22 SEP 2017
ALL
The aircraft is fitted with an automatic bleed valve closing in case of engine failure at takeoff.
The closing signal is given by MFC’s when uptrim is triggered. BLEED FAULT light also comes
on on the operative engine. Engine bleed valves can be routinely selected ON (NORM FLOW)
for takeoff. However, performance decrement has to be considered for the ground phase. This
decrement is given in chapter Performances and can be computed by the FOS.

NSU.70.3 Power Set Up Procedure for Takeoff and Go-Around


_264988d3-cc3a-4f0f-8693-81bc02fc80a2 05 AUG 2021
ALL
1) Takeoff
Engine control normally uses temperature, altitude and speed data from the selected ADC
but reverts to its own sensors in case of detected failure or significant offset.
TAT/SAT information are valid only when the engine (propeller unfeathered) corresponding
to the selected ADC is running.
RTO torques must be computed using altitude and temperature information independent
from aircraft sources and compared to values displayed by torque bugs.

Takeoff power is routinely obtained by setting the power levers and the condition levers into
the notches. CLs should be routinely stay into the notches. NP is automatically set at 100 %
provided PWR MGT selector is on TO position and PLA is sufficient.
2) Go-Around
The throttle movement (PF) is to be applied across the notch up to the ramp (beginning of
amber sector).
WARNING
OVERRIDING THE RAMP THRESHOLD UP TO THE ABSOLUTE FULL TRAVEL WILL
ENABLE 1.15 X RTO TQ (EEC ON). THIS SHOULD BE USED ONLY IS CASE OF
EMERGENCY.

Unfeathering the propeller induces a limited lateral disturbance.

NSU.70.5 Engine Parameters Fluctuation


_a1ae6e6c-760e-484e-991b-b24c808c7786 13 SEP 2019
ALL
The variation tolerances of engine parameters are shown in the table below. These tolerances
must be taken into account only in stabilized flight phases.
PARAMETERS TQ NH ITT NP
FLUCTUATION AMPLITUDE +/-2 % +/-0.25 % +/-5 °C +/-2.5 %

NH fluctuation amplitude +/-0.25 % means that the maximum amplitude is 0.5 % between the
minimum and maximum NH values read by the crew.
In case of engine parameters fluctuation above tolerances, it can be helpful to select the
corresponding EEC OFF before shutting the engine OFF.
If this action solves the problem, the flight can be continued accordingly.

NSU.70.6 Ignition
Man Ignition
_fe77fd2a-313e-4223-8534-8c3bd03ee2f4 16 JUN 2017

When one or both EEC(s) has (have) been deselected, the use of MAN ignition is required
when the aircraft enters into heavy precipitation or severe turbulence areas, when ice accretion
develops, or when using contaminated runway for takeoff or landing.

NSU.70.7 Adapted Flight Idle


_bf5bef59-7a32-42b9-981b-256f6ba09d58 16 JUN 2017
ALL
Low flight idle rating is associated with a significant increase of aerodynamic drag profitable to
the descent performance (approach and landing).

On the other hand, this increased drag affects the lift at a high angle of attack.
In regard with these two requirements, an adapted fight idle provides two power settings.
The FI position being selected by the flight crew, the power level (high or low) is set by the
EEC, as a function of an information provided by the MFC.
This information is associated with a limit angle of attack equal to α stall warning -4 °. In case
of high flight idle loss the aircraft behavior during stall unchanged and the decrease of lift is
negligible and covered by the regulatory margins.

NSU.70.10 Operations Out of the Notch


_41dcd28d-270b-45d2-88aa-2852d7a81d80 06 MAY 2020
ALL
Engines are trimmed to compensate for built-in discrepancies between left and right engines
and their associated controls. The trimming procedure is performed at two different positions of
the Power Levers (PL): at Flight Idle (FI), and in the notch. It ensures a similar torque on both
sides at those PL positions.
When the flight crew retards the PL out of the notch during descent and approach, the trim
efficiency is reduced and may no longer correct the left/right discrepancy. This may result in a
difference between the left and right TQ values of up to 8 % in stabilized conditions.
Such difference is acceptable. If required, the flight crew can compensate it by manually
adjusting the PL.

NSU.70.11 Boost Operation


_20a86cd9-5a99-4dcb-accb-9f64e0a335af 09 SEP 2022
0901-0913
In normal operation, flight crew select appropriate rating through ENG BOOST pb:
- Pressed-in for BOOST selection (PW127M rating, default engine power)
- Released-out to derate engine power (PW127F rating).
Once power levers reach FI, rating selection is latched. Changes in the pushbutton position
won’t be effective until power levers are retarded below FI.
This inhibition is cancelled in the case of engine failure. After engine failure during any flight
phase, crew can modify engine rating for single engine operation.
New selection is then latched until power levers are retarded below FI.
