GENERALOVERVIEW

ThisHoneywellFlight Management SystemPilot'sGuideis oriented


to the operationof the A310/A300-600
QIP and standardsoftware
loads*.

Thisautomated FlightManagement Computer System(FMCS)con-


sistsof two FlightManagement Computers (FMC),andtwoControl
DisplayUnits(CDU).Thepurposeof the FMCS,in conjunction with
otherinterfacing equipment, e.9.,the Auto FlightSystem(AFS),
ElectronicFlightlnstrumentSystem(EFIS),andAutoThrottleSys-
tem(ATS),is to providetheflightcrewwithfullyautomatic,fullflight
regimecontrolof lateralnavigation, verticalguidanceand thrust
management, mapdisplay,autopilotcommands, andinflightperfor-
manceoptimization.

Thiscombination
of interfacing
equipment
is referred
to astheFlight
ManagementSystem(FMS).

NOTE: ThetermsFMCS,FMC,and FMSare usedthroughout


thisguide,occasionally,in the sameparagraph. While
appearingto be similar,they are not, and care should
be exercised so as not to confuse or misuse these
terms. See APPENDIXA - ABBREVIATTONS and
ACRONYMS.

The majorfunctionsof the FMS are:


. Flightplanningand predictions.
o Navigationand performancemanagement.
o Lateraland verticalguidancethroughthe AP, FD, and ATS.
. Engineout proceduresand guidance.
r NAV radioselectionand tuning.

"NOTE:Theseloadsare identifiedon the AircraftStatuspage


as P/N -964(for GE engines),P/N -965 (for Pratt&
Whitneyengines) orforthelatestQualitylmprovement
Package, (OlP)as P/N-967(cE) andP/N-968(PW).
Thesedifferences are identifiedin the textor by

CDUOVERVIEW

The CDU is the primarypilot interfacewith the FMC, and is mainly


used for longterm (strategic)actionssuch as flight plan construc-
tion, flight plan monitoringand revision, insertionsof weights,
temperatureand wind entries,and performancedata initialization.
Short{erm (tactical)actions,altitudesteps,speed selections,etc.,
are also enteredon the CDU.

This interface allows the pilot to control the lateral and vertical
elementsof the flight plan.

LATERALFUNCTIONS:

o NAV (aircraftposition)
o NAVAIDtuning(auto and manual)
o IRS alignment
. Flightplan initialization
and modification
. Lateralflight plan display
r Lateralguidance

VERTIGALFUNGTIONS:

r Vertical profile
o Constraints(time,altitude,and speed)
. Wind and temperaturerevision
. Step climb or descent
. Predictions(fuel,time, altitudes)

3.1,2.4 Pseudo Waypoints

As mentionedpreviously,in the lNlT B pageoverview,initialization


of

displayed.As a resultof thesepredictions,
whichaffectthelateraland
verticalelementsof the flightplan,pseudowaypointsare generated,
however, these pseudo waypoints-do not cause any lateral path
changesto the aircraft,nor are they everthe FROMwaypointin the
flightplan.

A pseudowaypointis a waypointnot fixedto a geographiclocation,


whichis inserteddirectlyintothe flightplanby the FMCas an altitude
and/ordistancetermination.

The primarypurposeof thesepseudowaypointsis to providethe pilot


with EFISand CDU displayof the location,relativeto the lateralflight
plan,wherea verticaleventis predictedto occur.Pseudowaypoints
are definedas follows:

p.73
Chatvi AP45

(T/C) Top of Climb - The point where the predictionprocess


interceptsthe cruise altitudeor the constructeddescenUapproach
path,or the pointat whichthe aircraftreachesthe stepaltitudeif in a
stepclimb.

(T/Dl Top of Descent - The point where the predictionprocess


interceptsthe constructeddescenUapproachpath, or the aircraftis
predictedto descendfrom the cruisealtitude.

NOTE: Short route segments with high CRZ ALT's can


cause the (T/C) and (T/D) to be at the same point on
the fl i ghtplan.

(S/G)Step Climb - The point at which the aircraftis predictedto


begina previouslyinsertedstep climb.

{S/D)Step Descent - The pointat whichthe aircraftis predictedto


beginthe step descentpreviouslyinsertedin the flightplan.

(LEVEL) GlearanceAltitude - The point at which the aircraftis

(l/P)InterceptDescentPath - is the pointat whichFMScalculates


that the aircraftwill reach the constructeddescenUapproach
path
underthe followingconditions:

1. IMMEDIATEDESCENTsituationalmode is active.
( S eeSe cti on3 .4.1.)

2. The clearancealtitudeis below the point at which the descenU


approachpath is intercepted.

3. The absenceof an altitudeconstraintcausesthe predictionsto


level off beforethe descent path is intercepted.

3,{.3.1 Waypoint Stringing

Manual definitionof a flight plan route, or waypoint stringing,is


accomplished on the F-PLNpagesdirectly,orfromthe F-PLNpages
through the LAT REV function.(See Section 3.1.3.2, LATERAL
R EVTSTONS.)

lf no CO RTE existsfor the desired route,the FROM/TOmethod is


used to definethe flightplan manually,waypointby waypoint.

The pilotmay enterORIGIN/DESTINATION (FROM/TO)waypoints


on the lNlT A page for the activeflight plan. (See Section3.1.2.3,
FROM/TOMETHOD.)

The FROM/TOpair must be eitherairportslistedin the data baseor


pilot-defi
ned runways.(SeeSection 7 .2.1,DEFINED WAYPOINTS.)

NOTE: As a techniqueduringmanualflight planning,to prevent


the unwantedscrollingof the flightplan waypointsas
the pseudowaypointsare insertedby the FMC, it is
recommendedthat waypointstringingon the F-PLN
pagesbe accomplishedpriorto initializingthe weights
on the lNlT B page.

For the purposeof demonstration,assume a flight from Zurich to


Athens(LSGG/LGAT), with Thesalonika(LGTS)as the alternate,for
which there is no CO RTE.

3.1.3.2 Lateral Revisions

Lateralrevisionsare changesmade in the lateralflightplan,from a

Time constraintsmay be entered at any fixed waypoint in the flight


plan, from the verticalrevisionpage, except under the following
conditions:

. ENG OUT mode is active.


o No valid clock data.
. Active lateralleg is a holdingpatternor procedureturn.
. A STEP is in the primaryflightplan.
. A destinationis not definedin the primaryflight plan.
. A EOSID is missedor approachis beingflown.
. Entry is attemptedon a leg not in the primaryflightplan.

The SP message,'NOTALLOWED', is displayedif any of the above


conditionsexistwhen an entry attemptis made.

Time constraintsare automaticallydeletedfrom the flight plan for


the following:

. When the aircrafttransitionsto airborne.


. When a secondtime constraintis enteredinto the flight plan.
. Activationof the EO mode.
. Loss of valid clock data.
o The activeleg has a manualtermination.

The SP message,"TIMECSTR REMOVED",is displayedwhenever


a time constraintis automaticallydeletedfrom the flight plan.

A time constraintmay be thoughtof as beinga pilot-defined


ETA for

With referenceto Figure3.1-26,assumea destinationETA of 1114


is desired for RW33R at LGAT.

IASof the aircraftat a specifiedwaypointalongthe lateralflightplan.
Duringthe takeoff,climb,and cruiseflightphasesIAS is confinedto
a value equal to, or less than the specifiedconstraint,until the

In the descentand approachflight phases,IAS is also confinedto a

STARwaypoint).In the lattercase the constraintwould be automati-
cally insertedin the F-PLNwhen the approachprocedureis selected
from the STAR list.

1. The CRZ FL is the verticalguidancepath target.


2. Speed target is definedaccordingto the followingpriority:
o lf TACT SPD mode is active the speed target is the

o lf a Hold is activeor is to becomeactivewithin3 minutes,with
a headingleg to a manualtermination (HM),(e.9.,IMM EXIT),
the speed target is the pilot entered Hold Speed. lf a pilot-

3. The verticalspeed target is -1000 fUmin or the pilot-defined

4. The verticalguidancethrust target is maximumclimb thrust in

3.2 TAKEOFFAND TRANSITION TO GLIMB


As the GO Levers are triggeredfor takeoff, the FMGC position is
updated to the approach end of the runway and the A/THR is
engagedbut not active.The positionupdatemay be observedas a
jump in the NavigationDisplayas the positionis entered into the
FMGC. The same positionmay be observedon the PROGRESS
page.SRS and RVfYare engagedon the FMA,A/THRis armed,and
lateralguidanceis referencedto the runway centerlineto a radio
altimeteraltitudeof 30 feet.After liftoff,SRS:V2+ 10 is maintained
and the speed is held on the elevator.The FMGC transitionsfrom
takeoffto climb phasewhen the aircraftaltitudeis greaterthan the
accelerationaltitude(2 enginesoperating)or when A/C speed is
equalto a greaterthan VFTO (singleengine).The thrustreduction
altitudeis definedfrom data base or may be modifiedby the pilot.
At the acceleration altitude and after flap/slat retraction, thrust
energyis dividedinto approximately60% for accelerationand 40o/o
for climb.

At 30 feet or afterat least5 secondsof flight,an autopilotand NAV


mode may be engaged. Runway track mode is disengaged
automaticallyat 30 feet, the FD command bars appear and FM
lateralnav is active,as indicatedby dashes in the AP/FD lateral
mode (column3) of the FMA.

NOTE: Priortotakeoffthe runwayheadingmay be preselected


on the FCU. This "S elec t e d "He a d in g mo d e is
annunciatedon the FMA and precludesFM lateralnav
activationwhen the autopilotis engaged.

The MANAGED NAV departure course flown from 30 feet is that


depictedin the departure,whetherit be a courseor heading.Untilthe
autopilotis engaged,the aircraftguidanceis to runwaycenterline.
Profileis automaticallyengagedat Thrust Reductionaltitude.

Priorto the beginningof the TAKEOFFflightphaseduringTaxi and


BeforeTakeoffthe GW, CG, or ZFWCG,on the FUEL PRED page
(seeSection3.2.6.1)shouldbe updated.Whilea CG updateis not
necessaryon the 4310-200, a ZFWCG update is mandatoryon

. THR RED ALT applies to two-engineoperationonly. Single-
engine operation is indicated by EO THR RED ALT and is
activatedafter EO is selectedby the pilot.

ACCEL is definedas:

. The accelerationaltitudeis the verticallocation,aftertakeoff,at


whichthe FMS can commandan acceleration to the desiredclimb

3,3.4 Direct to NAV

DIR TO is a lateral navigationfunction by which the pilot may


proceedfrom PPOS to a selectedfixed waypoint by a direct route.

The affect this action has on the down path waypointsof the active
primary flight plan is determinedby the positionof the DIR TO
waypointin the flightplan.

There are two possibilities:

1. lf the DIR TO waypointis a part of the activeprimaryflightplan.A


DIRTO leg is strungfromPPOSto thatwaypointwhenthe DIRTO
functionis invoked.All
originalflightplanwaypoints,betweenPPOS
and the DIR TO waypoint,are deleted from the flight plan. TP
(TURNINGPOINT)becomesthe FROM waypoint,followedby a
DIRTO leg,andthe F-PLNpageand ND reflectthe newnavigation
situation.

2. lf the DIR TO waypointis not a part of the active primaryflight


plan,a DIRTO leg is strungfrom PPOSto thatwaypointwhenthe
DIR TO functionis invoked.The DIR TO waypointis followedby
a F-PLNDISCONTINUITY, followedby the originalflightplanin
its entirety.None of the waypointsare deleted.TP becomesthe
FROMwaypoint,followedby a DIR TO leg.

Accessto the DIRTO functionis gainedby pressing15ga;l modekey


on the CDU.This accessis only allowedif the aircraftpositionis valid.
The SP message, 'NOT ALLOWED", is displayed when aircraft
positionis invalid(i.e.,the FMS aircrafrpositionis undetermined).

3.4.1 Situational Modes

Situationalmodes allow the pilot to deviatefrom the verticalprofile


withoutaffectinga verticalflight plan change.Situationalmodes are
usuallyinvokedto respondto a temporarysituationwith the intentto
later returnto the definedverticalprofile,e.9., descentfrom the CRZ
ALT immediately,in compliancewith an ATC request,ratherthanwait
for the flightplan to interceptthe definedverticalprofileT/D point.

There are four Cruise Flight Phase situationalmodes: IMM DES,


DECEL,IMM CLB, and EO Drift Down modes.These modes may
eitherbe manuallyselectedor automaticallyengaged.

3.4.4 Parallel Offsets

A ParallelOffset,a lateralflight plan function,is a course exactly


parallelingthe activeflightplan course,and offsetto the left or right
of that coursea selectabledistanceup to and including99 nautical
miles.The functionis especiallyusefulto providetrafficseparation
subsequentto an ATC request,or when deviatingaroundenroute
thunderstorms.

ParallelOffsetsare allowedon four F-PLNleg types (see Section2-4


for leg definitions:

1. CF - Courseto a FixedWaypointis a great circlecoursefrom


PPOS to a downpathwaypoint.
2. TF - FixedWaypointto FixedWaypointis a greatcirclecourse
between two fixed waypoints.
3. DF - DirecttoaFixedWaypointisacombination ofagreatcircle
arc path from PPOS,tangentto and includinga computedgreat
circlecourseto the desiredterminationwaypoint - a DIRTO leg.
4. FM - Coursefrom a FixedWaypointwith a ManualTermination
is a great circle course starting at a fixed waypoint that is
terminatedby a flight plan revision.

This meansthata ParallelOffsetis allowedon all legsbetweenfixed


waypoints,coursesto a fixedwaypoint,and DIR TO legs to a fixed

3.5 DESGENT
The DESCENT flight phase normally begins when the aircraft
departsthe entered cruise altitudeand ends when the approach
flightphaseis activatedwith slat extension.The manageddescent
profileis builtbackwardsfromthe destinationto the Top-of-Descent.
It is built assuming idle thrust (with a small delta), followed by
geometricsegmentsbetweenconstraintsand all knownspeedand
altitudeconstraintsduringdescentand approach.This is optimized
with an appropriatedecelerationdistancefor landingconfiguration
preparationsprior to approach.

Thereforethe verticalprofile,in the DESCENTand APPROACH


phases,is constructedof leveland descendingflightpathsegments.
Theseflightpathsegmentsoccurin a sequenceallowingthe aircraft
to meet the verticalprofileas it has been definedin the FMC.

With PROFILE engaged and descent unrestricted,the vertical


profileis exactlyas computedby the FMC as the aircraftdescends
to the altitudeset on the FCU.

The ECON performancemode, with PROFILEengaged,plans a


descentat idlethrust,whichsavesapproximately 500 poundsof fuel
per descent.Adjust cost index as necessaryin pre-QlP aircraftto
precludeoverspeedconditions.

3.5,1 Descent Vertical Profile Guidance

To monitortheaircraftprogresson the verticalprofile,whileatthe same


time adheringto the selectedspeed,thrust,and altitudetargets,the
FMC considersthree main verticalguidancedescentstates:

1. On-Path - When vertical guidance is actively capturing or


maintainingthe verticalprofiledescenVapproach
path.
2. Below-Path - When verticalguidanceis not activelycapturing
or maintainingthe verticalprofiledescent/approach path,and
the aircraftaltitudeis less than the altitudeassociatedwith
that path.

Oncethedescentbegins,On-Pathmeansthedescentprofileis on

Theleveloffmaneuver is at a rate
of changeof .059.Speedis maintained on thrustandequatesto the

Above-Path- The FMC commandsthe AP/FDto increasethe


verticalrateuntiltheverticalprofileis recaptured.Thisis accomplished
by accelerating to the targetdescentspeed+20 kts., 290 KIAS,
whichever is higher,Iimitedto MMOminus0.02,and increasing the
verticalratein an attemptto reintercept thedescentpath.lf theaircraft
is still abovethe descentpath when this speed is reached,the
message, "MOREDRAG",isdisplayed onthePFD(O, Figure3.5-3).
'MOREDRAG",indicates thatspeedbrakesare required to maintain
theexisting speedschedule. TheSPmessage, "LESSDRAG",directly

The exactamountof the verticaldeviation,to a maximumof 9990ft,
is indicatedon the PROG page.When MAX DES is deselected,by
selectinganothermode,the aircraftlevelsoff untilthe descentpath
is re-intercepted.

NOTE. When ATC requestscause significantdeviationfrom

3.5.3 Along Track Offsets

The Along Track Offset (ATO) waypoint,is a pilotdefinedlateral


navigationwaypointthat may be entered directly into the active
primaryflightplan only on the F-PLNpages.A waypointdefinedas
an ATO is includedin the listof 20 possiblepilot-defined
waypoints.
Operationallythis type of waypoint is especiallyuseful when the
clearance is received to cross a point before or after a waypoint
along the route of flight.

3.5.3.1 ATO Waypoints

An ATO waypoint,enteredas a PLACE/DISTANCE (PD),is written


in the SP to complywith an ATC crossingrestrictionthat is not part
of the selectedSTAR.Duringdescentan ATC clearanceis received
to, "Cross10 northof TGRNBatorbelowFL12O,maintainFL70".To
enter this altitudeconstraintinto the flight plan:

if enabledand Pin Selected.

Two types of loadersare currentlyused on A310 aircraft:

1. ARINC603, a cassettetape loader,takingup to 30 minutesper


FMC for the data transfer.This type is graduallybeing replaced
by the disk loader.
2. ARINC 615, a disk loader, transfers data in approximately
9 minutesper FMC.

5.3.{ Loader Operation

Beforeconnectingthe loader,both CBs, FMC1and FMC2,must be


pulled.Reason: the FMCsperforma safetycheckto determineif the
loaderis properlyconnected.lf it is not, loadingis not permitted.To

1. VerifyFMC CBs are pulled.


2.Verify CDUs are powered. (Loaderreceivespowerfromthe CDU)

7.1 SEGONDARYF.PLN
The SEC F-PLN feature is a design and storage tool used to
accomplish additionalor alternateflightplanningwithoutdisturbing
the activeand alternateflightplan.Flightplanningfeaturesavailable
in the activeflightplanare alsoavailablein the secondaryflightplan.
The pilothas the optionto stringa secondaryflight plan manually,
or copy the active flight plan and modify it. Examples of the
secondaryflightplan uses include:

o Anticipatorypreparationsfor an alternativedeparture runway,


SlD, or other pre-takeoffconsiderations.
. CopyActivejustpriortoa DIRTO, thendisplaythesecondaryflight
plan to observerelativeabeam waypoints.(Don'tActivate).
o Anticipatorypreparationsfor an alternativearrival and landing
runwayat the destination.
. Stringinga routeto the alternatedestination.
. Specialperformanceflight planningwith full predictions.
. Stringinga route completelydifferentfrom the activeflight plan,
(e.9.,the nextdepartureand flightrouting).

7.3.1 Alternate Flight Plan Prediction

The Performancefunction calculatesan estimateof the fuel re-


quiredto fly the alternatelateralflightplan assumingMIN FUEL
mode operation.The alternateflight plan predictionis calculated
when the associatedprimaryflight plan has satisfiedthe necessary
conditionsto be invokedand a destinationexistsforthe primaryflight
plan. The alternateflight plan predictiondoes not require any
matchingof flightplandefiningparametersto be invokedas doesthe
secondaryprimaryflight plan predictions,exceptthat the originof
the alternateflightplan is the destinationof the primaryflightplan.
Therefore,the alternateflight plan predictionallowsfor the modifi-
cationof the followingdefiningparameters1 through4:

1. Alternate Cruise Flight Level - This assumesa defaultvalue


of FL200 if the great circle distance between the origin and
destinationis less than 300NM and FL300 if the distance is
greaterthan 300NM.

The pilot has the optionof enteringan altitudeconstraintat the


alternatetop-of-climb(T/C) pseudo waypoint.This is treated as
a pilot-enteredalternatecruiseflight level.

2. Constraints - Noaltitude,speedortimeconstraintsareallowed,
exceptforthe alternatetop-of-climbusedto enteralternatecruise
flightlevel.No speedlimitentryis allowed,buttheequationsused
for climb and descentare based on the defaultspeed limit.

3. Winds - The pilotis able to enter a singlewind magnitudeand


bearingat the alternatetop-of-climbpseudo waypoint.This is
resolvedalong the great circle course from the origin to the
destinationto obtainthe headwindor tailwindcomponent.For
tailwinds,50 percentof the valueis used in the predictions,
while
for headwinds,150 percentof the value is used.

8.0 DEGRADEDPERFORMANGE
The FMS is a ruggednavigationand flight aid. The normalloss of
sensorsorcapabilityimpactlittleon overallperformance
and mission
accomplishment(See Section1.2.1,OPERATIONALMODES).To
understandand still use the system when it is degraded, the
followingtopics will be covered.

o DegradedNavigation
o FMC Malfunctions

Additionally,FMSassistanceprovidedduringEngineOutOperations
will be discussed.

8.1 DUAL AND INDEPENDENTOPERATION


The FMS is operablewhen electricalpower is appliedto the aircraft.
Built-lnTest(BITE)is performedat thistime and afterany short-term
powertransients.Pilot-enteredflightdata is retainedduring power
transientsthroughbattery-powered memoryin the FMS.

When powered,the FMS supportsDual,Independent, Singleand


Crosstied operationalmodes.Dualmodeis the normalmodeof the
FMS.In Dualmode,thetwoFMCscommunicatewith eachotherand
each CDU communicateswith it's FMC.

8.3 SINGLE FTIGHT MANAGEMENT


GOMPUTER
The FMS Buift-lnTest (BITE)is composedof a combinationof internal
softwareand hardwaremonitorswithinthe FMCand CDU.The built-
in test was designedto detectand isolate95 percentof all failures
in the attemptto correctthe situationvia hardware/softwareresets.

lf the MasterFMC fails,the fact is detectedby itselfand the slave


FMS. The slave FMS then functionsas the master FMC and the
failedsideCDU displays'FMCUNAVAILABLE"after25secondsof
lost communications.

lf a CDU failureis detected,the displayis blankedand the top left

8.4 DEGRADEDNAVIGATION
Detailednormalnavigationinformationcan be found in Section4.
From the normal mode of both radio and inertial navigation,
degradationof the individualand combinednavigationmodes are
discussedin the followingsections.For review,the highestpriority
positionupdatemode is Radio/lnertial,
followedby lnertialonly.

Dueto inherentdriftratesin the lRUsor noisyradioinputs,thereare


times when the IRS positionand the FMS-computedradioposition
are different.This conditionmay indicatefaultylRUs or radioinputs

to the FMSpositioncomputation.
Whenthe radiopositionis different
fromthe IRSpositionby morethan12NM,thefollowing
eventsoccur:
1. lf possible,
differentradiosare selectedand tunedand the new
radiopositioncompared is lessthan

2. lf the positiondifferenceremains12NMor greater,the CDU
message, "VERIFY A/C POSITION" is displayed.
The pilot must now resolvethe discrepancybetweenthe two
positions.lf it is notpossibleto selectdifferentnavaidsand resolve
the discrepancy, the positionupdatemodechangesfrom Radio/
lnertial
to lnertial.
The "VERIFYA/C POSITION" clearedif

secondrate by a simpleaverageafterthey pass a comparisontest.
lf the comparisontest is failedor any IRU is operatedin otherthan
normalmode,the FMS receivesas singlegroundspeed input per
Ta b le8- 1 .

When two IRU platformsare operatedin otherthan normalmodes,


the FMCsbothuse the singleremainingIRSfor positionand ground
speed inputs.

been inertialfor 10 minutes.The message automaticallyclears
when a radio update is obtained.lf cleared,this message is
immediatelyre-displayed when transitioning
from cruiseto descent
and the IRS conditionremains.

All three IRU positionsare averaged and comparedto the FM


position.When an IRU positiondiffersfrom the Radio positionby
more than 12NM, then the CDU SP message "VERIFY AIG
POSITION"is displayed.

Loss of all IRU inputs to the FM results in an "A/G POSITION


INVALID'messagein CDU SP.

8.4.2 IRS Only Navigation

IRS Only Navigationoccurswhen NAVAIDSare out of range(e.9.,


flyingoverwater),or do not meetthe FM radiotuningcriteria.ln this
modeof operation,the masterandslaveFMC positionsdisplayedon
the progresspage are identicalto the mixed IRS position.The
scratchpadmessage.lRSONLY NAV" is displayeduntilradioinput
is againavailable,orthe messageis manuallyclearedfromthe CDU
with the @ key.

Radio navigationis normallyaccomplishedby eitherDME/DMEor


DME/Bearingcalculationsof aircraftposition.Positionerrorsof up
to 0.35NMfor DME/DMEand a calculatederror basedon DME for
DME/Bearingare used in the acceptance and comparisontests.
