A320 Performance (Day 2)

Service Description

This lesson is 2 of 3 designed to teach the A320 pilot the performance aspect of operating the aircraft. The performance course is divided into 3 days. On day 2 the following will be covered: - Fuel Planing using; Computerised Flight Plan, MCDU, FCOM and EFB - Cruise Optimisation (Cost Index, Maximum FL, REC MAX ALT and Step Climbing) - Landing Distances; LDA, RLD, ALD, IFLD - Approach & Landing - Dispatch Calculations (RLD using FCOM and EFB) - Approach & Landing - In-flight Calculations (FLD using QRH and EFB) The course is designed to teach the performance with the use of manual tables and charts from the FCOM, QRH as well as using the EFB. While paper charts is often not used by airlines, this approach teaches the theory of the performance much better than simply using the electronic EFB. It is therefore of greater benefit to the pilot.
