4.1 Cockpit Preparation
Objective To ensure the aircraft is correctly configured, powered, and programmed prior to engine start. Crew Concept PF (Pilot Flying): Reviews flight plan Performs MCDU setup Cross-checks entries PM (Pilot Monitoring): Performs cockpit setup Powers air...
4.2 Engine Start
Objective To safely start the engines while ensuring proper coordination with ground crew and maintaining full control of the aircraft during pushback or stand departure. General Principle Engine start must only be performed when: Aircraft is correctly confi...
4.3 Taxi
Objective To safely maneuver the aircraft from stand to runway while maintaining full control, situational awareness and ground crew safety. Taxi Phase Definition The taxi phase begins when: Pushback is completedOR Aircraft starts moving under its own power ...
4.4 Takeoff
Line-Up PF: Align aircraft with runway centerline PM: Confirms runway and clearance Takeoff Clearance PM: Confirms ATC clearancePF: “Takeoff” Thrust Application Thrust Levers → ~50% N1 (stabilization) Then → FLEX/MCT or TOGA Standard Callouts ...
4.5 Climb
Objective To establish a stable and efficient climb profile after takeoff. After Takeoff Flow At acceleration altitude: PF: Reduce pitch attitude Select climb profile PM: Monitor speed increase Flap Retraction Retract flaps according to speed schedule E...
4.6 Cruise
Objective To maintain a stable and efficient flight at cruise altitude. Establishing Cruise Aircraft levels off at cruise altitude Thrust reduces automatically Autopilot & Automation Autopilot engaged Managed speed (Mach mode typically active) Cruise S...
4.7 Descent
Objective To conduct a controlled and passenger-comfort-oriented descent from cruise altitude to approach phase while maintaining compliance with all constraints. Descent Philosophy (VA Standard) The descent is primarily flown with a focus on: Passenger comf...
4.8 Approach
Objective To establish a stable, controlled and smooth transition from descent into final approach, ensuring a safe and predictable landing. Approach Philosophy (VA Standard) The approach continues the descent philosophy: Vertical path → primarily pilot cont...
4.9 Landing
Objective To safely land the aircraft from a stabilized approach and conduct a controlled rollout while maintaining compliance with ATC and ensuring passenger comfort. Landing Clearance Policy (VA Standard) Without Landing Clearance: If no landing clearance i...
4.10 Taxi & Shutdown
Objective To safely taxi from the runway to the gate and perform complete aircraft shutdown while maintaining SOP compliance, passenger comfort, and ground crew safety. Taxi After Landing Initial Rollout PF: Maintain runway centerline Smoothly decelerate usi...
5.1 Philosophy
Checklists are used to verify actions, not to perform them. All procedures follow the principle: 👉 FLOW → CHECKLIST Flow: Memory-based actions performed in a logical sequence Checklist: Verification that all required items are correctly set Core Rule “The f...
