A320 Performance (Day 3)

Service Description

This lesson is 3 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 3 the following will be covered: - Fuel Penalty Calculations (QRH and EFB) - Go Around vs. Discontinued Approach Procedure - Go-Around Performance Calculations (FCOM) - Go Around Flaps Operation - Single-Engine Performance Calculations (Standard, Obstacle and Fixed Speed Strategy) - Weight Definitions - Cargo Storage - Weight & Balance Calculations (A320 Load & Trim Sheet, Paper and EFB) - Top-of-Descent Calculations (simple and detailed formula) - Descent Management 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.
