1.2 SYSTEM OVERVIEW

The FMS is a pilot interactive system which provides the following main functions: Multi-sensor localisation. Flight planning. Guidance (lateral & vertical). Database management. Radio navigation. Performances management. Predictions.
The FMS is composed of : Software application (called FMC in this document) located in the IAD. Pilot interfaces: Note: MCDU with dual capability (2 MCDU for 1 FMC) MFD, PFD (display only)
Data transfer media (Compact Flash memory) including: Navigation data (standard, company and pilot databases) Secondary flight plan Magnetic variation model
Configuration data (performances and FM configuration) are managed at IAD level.
OPERATIONAL DOMAIN
Coordinates: Performances of navigation are guaranteed in the range: Latitude: [S89, N89], Longitude: no restriction [W180, E180]. UTM or MGRS coordinates are limited to the range: Latitude: [S80, N84], Longitude: no restriction [W180, E180].
Ground Speed (GS) max: 750 kts Altitude: [-1500 ft, 65000 ft] Temperature: [-60 C, 99 C]

In the cockpit, switches enable to set the mode of reversion for the air data parameters source and for the attitude and heading parameters source. The normal reversion means that each FMC uses and manages data from its own side sources for its navigation computations. If the own side equipment is failed, the FMC will automatically use the equipment of the opposite side. In case the reversion is both on 1 (respectively both on 2), both FMC receive the same source side 1 (respectively side 2), even if data provided by this equipment is invalid. Note: For other sensors, no reversion is managed at cockpit level.
J61334BB - 00
Page 16
1.3.2 AIR DATA UNIT

The FMC handles two Air Data Units (dual configuration) to provide the air data primary parameters (air speed, air temperature and baro altitude). In case of reversion at cockpit level, the FMC select the air data source according to the selected reversion. Without reversion at cockpit level, the air data source is the own side ADU if the air data parameters are valid, the opposite side otherwise.
1.3.3 ATTITUDE AND HEADING REFERENCE SYSTEM

The FMC handles two AHRS (dual configuration) to provide attitude and heading primary parameters (attitude angles & magnetic heading). In case of reversion at cockpit level, the FMC select the attitude and heading source according to the selected reversion. Without reversion at cockpit level, the attitude and heading source is the own side AHRS if the attitude and heading parameters are valid, the opposite side otherwise.
1.3.4 GPS CONFIGURATION

The FMS handles GPS as localization source.
GPS source is the own side GPS if GPS parameters are valid, the opposite side otherwise.
1.3.5 RADIO NAVIGATION ARCHITECTURE

For localization function, FMC handles 2 VOR and 3 - channels DME radio navigation receivers. FMC also handles 2 ADF receivers. Each FMC can manage the radio navigation receivers but commands are only transmitted by the active FMC to the radio navigation receivers. Note: The active FMC features the FMC coupled with the autopilot.

1.4 NAVIGATION MODES
The following navigation modes are available: BCP, Best Computed Position (selected by default). GPS, Global Positioning System.
Page 17
Each one provides: Horizontal position, latitude and longitude. Ground speed. Track Angle. Speed and origin of the wind.
Navigation computations are done in WGS84 datum reference, and so Standard and Pilot data are assumed to be defined in WGS84 reference. The BCP parameters are calculated by a specific filter weighted by the estimated errors, of the values provided by different sources. The sources used by the BCP computation are:
GPS of selected side. Radio navigation receivers: 2 VOR, 3 - channels DME.
Note: The BCP backup mode, DR mode (Dead reckoning), is automatically triggered when there is neither ground speed nor position available. In that case, TAS, heading and wind information are used.

2.1 DEFINITIONS 2.1.1 FLIGHT AREA
OPERATIONAL PRINCIPLES
The FMC manages the following flight areas: Enroute Terminal Approach
Direct distance A/C to Departure < 30Nm Standard Altitude < 15000ft above Departure OR Direct distance A/C to DEST < 30Nm Standard Altitude < 15000ft above DEST
Missed approach activated (direct to missed approach fix or goaround)

Approach procedure selected Distance along track A/C to FAF < 2Nm XTK < 0.3Nm TKE < 90 Integrity criteria: true
J61334BB - 00
Page 20
The "enroute" flight area becomes "terminal" when one of the following conditions is met: The direct distance from aircraft to departure airport is smaller than 30 NM and the aircraft standard altitude is smaller than 15 000 feet above departure airport (converted into a standard altitude). The direct distance from aircraft to destination airport is smaller than 30 NM and the aircraft standard altitude is smaller than 15 000 feet above destination airport (converted into a standard altitude). Note: Therefore, at take-off, the flight area is "terminal"
The flight area becomes "approach" when all the following conditions are met: A Final Approach Fix (FAF) exists in the flight plan (either an approach procedure has been selected or the fix preceding destination is located less than 10NM in direct distance from destination), and, The along track distance between the aircraft and the FAF is smaller than 2 NM, and,
The geometry aircraft/procedure is acceptable: lateral error (XTK) smaller than 0.3 NM and angular error (TKE) less than 90 degrees, and, the GPS is used in aircraft position computation and GPS HIL is smaller than 0.3 NM and HIL is predicted to be available at FAF (Final Approach Fix) and MAP (Missed Approach Point) and lower than 0.3 NM (GPS integrity criteria), or, the radionavigation data are used in aircraft position computation and EPE_radio is smaller than 0.5 NM (radionav integrity criteria). The "approach" flight area becomes "terminal" if the missed approach procedure is activated. The flight area becomes "enroute" when there is nor departure neither destination airport or if both following conditions are verified: the direct distance from aircraft to departure airport is greater than 30 NM or the aircraft standard altitude is greater than 16 000 feet above departure airport (converted into a standard altitude) the direct distance from aircraft to destination airport is greater than 30 NM or the aircraft standard altitude is greater than 16 000 feet above destination airport (converted into a standard altitude) Note: At power up or when a new flight plan is activated, the flight area is "enroute".

2.1.2 FLIGHT PHASE
Page 21
The FMC manages the following flight phases: Ground, Take-off, Climb, Descent, Approach and Go around according to the following logic:
Direct distance to DEST < 10Nm Active leg Approach OR TO = DEST
Take-off phase Ground phase Climb phase Cruise phase
Descent phase TOD
Approach phase
Go-around phase

Approach procedure Departure airport Destination airport 10Nm WOW = Ground Radio Alt. < 5m Not another flight phase DEST or approach procedure modified New FPLN DTO a missed approach fix
J61334BB - 00
Page 22
FMC determines the flight phase by testing the following conditions, in that priority order, until one is satisfied. At power up, the flight phase is "ground" if condition applies, otherwise is "cruise". The flight phase is "ground" when Weight On Wheel (WOW) discrete status is "GROUND" and aircraft radio height is less than 5 m (or invalid) The flight phase is "take-off" when the aircraft altitude is less than 1500 ft above the take off altitude. The flight phase is "climb" when the aircraft is located before or at the Top Of Climb (TOC) in the flight plan. The flight phase is "descent" when the aircraft is located at or after the Top Of Descent (TOD) in the flight plan. The flight phase is "approach" when: The direct distance to the destination airport is smaller than 10 NM, and, The flight plan active leg is part of an approach procedure to the destination airport, or the TO waypoint is the destination airport.
The flight phase is "go around" when the crew has engaged the Go Around mode. The flight phase is "cruise" if one of the following conditions is met: None of the other flight phases conditions is met Destination or approach procedure is modified A new FPLN is initiated A DTO a missed approach fix is performed

2.1.4 DEPARTURE PROCEDURE

A departure procedure is composed of 3 elements: Runway (RWY) Standard Instrument Departure (SID) Enroute Transition (TRANS) between the SID and the route.
The figure below illustrates the RWY, SID, TRANS and route sequence of legs. In case of overlapping legs, between SID and TRANS or TRANS and route, some legs may be suppressed due to stringing rules application (automatic stringing with common waypoint, discontinuity otherwise). TRANS

If a discontinuity exists in the procedure, the discontinuity should be cleared manually.
CAUTION: Before clearing a discontinuity, the leg stringing has to be checked to avoid having inconsistent FPLN.
Example: After clearing a discontinuity, a go back to the previous trajectory could exist in the FPLN.

2.1.6 AIRWAYS
An airway segment is a sequence of legs from a FROM fix to a TO fix, belonging to an airway defined in standard database. Inserting an airway segment into a flight plan needs the identification of the airway, an entry waypoint (FROM fix) and an exit waypoint (TO fix). The FROM fix is the waypoint of the flight plan where to insert the airway segment. This fix must belong to the flight plan and to the airway. The TO fix is the waypoint of the airway where to stop the airway segment to insert. This fix can be a waypoint that exists in the flight plan or that does not exist in the flight plan. In that case, a discontinuity will appear. See examples below.

ARINC 424 defines three "levels" of enroute airways. These levels are relative to the Flight Information Region and Upper Information Region of airspace with defined dimensions within which Flight Information Service and alerting service are provided: High level Airways: Routes that exist only in the "Upper Airspace", or officially designated as "Upper" or "High", or routes that must be charted as high level routes. Low level Airways: Routes that exist only in the "Lower Airspace", or routes that must be charted in lower airspace only. Both level Airways: Routes that are not defined into either the upper or lower airspace, or routes that exists without a "level designator", or routes that exist in a structure that has Upper and Lower Airspace.

Example: 04R The last character is the multiple indicator: Z or Y or "Blank" Example: RNV04RZ = Charted approach 'RNAV (GPS) Z RWY 4R' Note: a) All the approaches are not identified according to the format described here above. Other formats also exist. Example: VOR-A approach b) In ROUTE SELECT, IFR FPLN, PLT ROUTE and CO-ROUTE pages, approaches are displayed on 6 char. If the last character (multiple indicator) of the approach is empty, the last char is removed. Else, the type of approach is represented by 2 char (the third char of the approach type is removed). Example: 'RNV08LZ' is displayed on ARRIVAL page and 'RN08LZ' is displayed on ROUTE SELECT page.

2.1.8 DIRECT TO
This function enables to define a "direct" trajectory from the present position to a specified waypoint or to engage a rally navigation. The DIRECT TO function provides the following services: Basic DIR TO function to define a direct trajectory from the present position to a specified waypoint. DIR TO/ABEAM function to define the abeam waypoints along the direct path. These waypoints are the projection on the direct path of the initial FPLN waypoints located between the aircraft position and the specified waypoint. DIR TO/INTCP function allowing the definition of a specified RADIAL INBOUND inserted waypoint. The current aircraft track is used to compute the INTCPT point with the specified radial. Note: DIRECT TO function is not allowed if A/C position, A/C track or A/C ground speed is invalid.
The DIRECT TO trajectory is computed as following: If the distance from the Turn Center to the specified waypoint is lower than the turn radius and if |Xf - A/C track| < 60 deg (see next figure), the trajectory computed is a segment from the A/C position to the specified waypoint position. where Xf is the bearing from A/C position to the specified waypoint position. Else if the current speed does not allow to complete the turn before reaching the TO waypoint (see next figure), the trajectory is computed with a "delayed" turn. Else the "direct" trajectory is computed with a "direct" turn of track variation angle.

2.1.8.1 Direct to fix

This function enables to define a trajectory from the present position to a selected waypoint, which can be part of the flight plan, or selected from the navigation database, or defined by its position; or to engage a rally navigation (to rally a moving waypoint). The "TO" waypoint may be entered by its identifier (if it is stored in the database) or by a latitude/longitude, place/bearing/distance, or a place-bearing/place-bearing. W0 PPOS Direct To W3

2.1.8.2 Direct to abeam

When a "Direct To abeam" is performed to a waypoint belonging to the active flight plan, flight plan waypoints prior to the selected waypoint are projected onto the direct-to path. Flight plan waypoints on the active flight plan that are downpath of the aircraft and prior to the direct-to waypoint are projected onto the direct-to path abeam the original position.

2.1.8.3 Direct to / Intercept
Page 31
When performing a direct to waypoint, it is possible to specify the desired track and distance to intercept the selected waypoint by entering an inbound course value and a distance. Note: If no distance is entered, a FMS computed distance, which depends on TAS and altitude will be used. Direct To / Intercept N W S Intercept Distance A/C
TO WPT
Intercept Inbound course
The FMS inserts an intercept leg (Course to Fix) before the Direct To fix. Note: Direct To / Intercept is not possible when the selected fix is a moving waypoint.
J61334BB - 00
Page 32
2.1.8.4 Direct to moving waypoint

The Direct to function allows selecting a moving waypoint (with a defined speed) as TO waypoint. If the TO waypoint is moving, the FMC computes a rallying waypoint that is used as TO fix (as for a basic direct to) in order to guide the aircraft in order to rally the moving waypoint. Direct to moving waypoint Moving WPT WPT Speed A/C TAS Rallying WPT
This rallying waypoint is a temporary waypoint refreshed according to meteorological conditions (wind), the moving waypoint speed and the aircraft position. Calculation is done in 2D geometry with a constant rally navigation TAS equal to 130kt during rallying. The rallying waypoint is named with the ident of the moving waypoint to reach, followed by an asterix except if the interception is impossible with the current TAS or in high latitudes (|current latitude| or |interception latitude| > 89 ). In such case the ra llying waypoint is the moving waypoint. A discontinuity is inserted in the flight plan after the moving waypoint.

2.1.9 HOLDING PATTERN
Page 33
The FMS can fly Holding Pattern defined in departure or arrival procedures (SID, STAR or Missed Approach) or defined by the crew. If an Holding Pattern is inserted manually in the procedure, the holding will not use holding data of the map. The holding data default values are set by the FMS without taking into account the map data. Depending on the holding inbound course and the previous leg heading or track, there are three types of entry procedure in a holding pattern.
J61334BB - 00
Page 34
Those types are represented here below:
If the discontinuity after the holding has been cleared, the holding pattern is sequenced when the Entry point is overflown a second time, if all the holding sections have been sequenced.

2.1.10 OFFSET
Page 35
This function allows the aircraft to fly parallel to the original flight plan by entering the value of the parallel offset (positive or negative). Refer to "MULTI PHASE RELATED PROCEDURES / Lateral functions / Offset" for more details about the restrictions.

2.1.11 REQUIRED TIME OF ARRIVAL

This function allows to insert a time constraint on a flight plan waypoint. When a RTA is defined on a flight plan waypoint, an IAS target speed is computed in order to respect the RTA. This computed value is used for cruise, cruise descent and descent sections and nominal predictions are used for climb and cruise climb sections (refer to "Flight guidance principles / Vertical navigation" paragraph). The target IAS displayed on VNAV 1/2 page will be in accordance with this computation. The minimum value of IAS will be computed with wind limitations: the drift must be less than 45 , the front wind must be less than half of predicted TAS and back wind must be less than twice the predicted TAS. So, the minimum value of the IAS can be greater than Vmin. A RTA can be defined for a waypoint in climb sections but no IAS will be computed if the constraint is missed with FMS usual predictions.
2.1.12 NON RETURN POINT (NRP)

NRP is the point located along the active flight plan at which EFOB at alternate airport is equal to the fuel reserve. FMC computes the location of the Non Return Point and generates the NRP alert. The time to reach the NRP is also computed by the FMC. Note: NRP also is computed for the temporary flight plan but no alert is generated. NRP is not computed for the secondary flight plan.
J61334BB - 00
Page 36
2.1.13 MARK
This function allows marking the present position by creating a new pilot waypoint and also updating the localization solution by entering a new position. The new position can be entered through a database identifier, a position latitude and longitude, or a position relative to a database fix by entering the identifier point, bearing, and distance from this fix.

2.1.14 REQUIRED NAVIGATION PERFORMANCE (RNP)

The Required Navigation Performance (RNP) is a statement of the navigation performance accuracy, integrity, continuity and availability necessary for operations within a defined airspace. The current navigation performance accuracy is provided through the ANP parameter provided by the FMC. The monitoring of the ANP is a performance accuracy criteria of the navigation capability (RNP alert). The current navigation integrity is provided through the HIL parameter and monitoring is provided by the AIM alert (failure is detected by the RAIM or if the HIL is not below the alert limit based on the RNP criteria corresponding to the current flight area). The predicted integrity availability is provided through the PRAIM (PRAIM page 1/2). The comparison between the predicted HIL and the alert limit based on the RNP criteria allows verifying the integrity monitoring availability at destination or at any fix. The navigation performance integrity availability and continuity are provided also through the PRAIM along the flight plan (PRAIM page 2/2). The comparison between the predicted HIL and the RNP based limit and the check of the FDE availability flag for each point of the flight plan allow verifying the integrity monitoring availability and continuity along the flight plan according to the selected RNP criteria. The default values of the RNP depends on the flight area and on the sensors used for positioning according to the following rules: When GPS is used for positioning: 5 NM when the flight area is enroute area, 1 NM when the flight area is terminal. 0.3 NM when the flight area is approach and GPS integrity criteria was fullfilled. 0.7 NM when the flight area is approach and GPS integrity criteria was not fullfilled.
When GPS is not used for positioning: 5 NM when the flight area is enroute area, 2 NM when the flight area is terminal 0.7 NM when the flight area is approach
Note: The Required Navigation performance (RNP) default value is set to 5 Nm after a long power interruption
2.1.14.1
Actual Navigation performance (ANP)
The navigation capability monitoring is performed by comparison between both ANP and RNP parameters (RNP parameter is managed by FMC according to the flight area and pilot selection). The ANP corresponds to bound the Total System Error (TSE). TSE: Total System Error = Difference between the true position and the desired position on the trajectory (desired path). This error is equal to the vector sum of the path steering error, path definition error and position estimation error. PSE: Path Steering Error = Distance from the estimated position to the defined path. The PSE includes both FTE and display error. The display error is not taken into account in the ANP computation.
J61334BB - 00
Page 38
FTE: Flight Technical Error = Accuracy with which the aircraft is controlled as measured by the indicated aircraft position with respect to the indicated command or desired position. It does not include blunder errors.
PDE: Path Definition Error = Difference between the defined path and the desired path at a specific point. PEE: Position Estimation Error = Difference between true position and estimated position. EPE: Estimated Position Error is an estimated of the horizontal position uncertainty which bounds the true error with a probability of 95%. It is a function of the geometry between the A/C and the satellites (or navaids) and the actual accuracy of the measurements. This parameter may be misleading when a failure occurs, therefore the HIL is also monitored to verify the integrity of the navigation solution. Desired Path Path Defintion Error Defined Path

2.1.14.2 Horizontal Integrity Limit (HIL)
Page 39
The Horizontal Integrity Limit (HIL) is the radius of a circle in the horizontal plane (local plane tangent to the WGS-84 ellipsoid), centered on the true position, that describes the region where assured to contain the indicated horizontal position computed by the GPS with a probability of 99.9%. It is a horizontal region where the required probabilities of missed alert (non detected failure) and false alert (alert without failure) are met for the chosen set of satellites when autonomous fault detection is used. It is a function of the satellite and user geometry and the expected error characteristics: it is not affected by actual measurements. Its value is predictable given reasonable assumptions regarding the expected error characteristics.

2.2 MODES OF OPERATION

There are three possible modes of operation: dual, independent, and single.

Page 40
2.2.1 DUAL MODE

This is the normal mode, both FMC are synchronized. Both achieve their own computation and exchange data through the cross talk link.
FMC1
FMC2
MCDU1
MCDU2
At initialization, the Cross Talk INIT synchronizes the both FMC. Then, the Cross Talk monitoring is done to send the data updated on one FMC to the other one. Note: a) Both FMC are in single mode if a standard database discrepancy is found. b) To resynchronize the FMC, use CTK INIT command in FMS BITE page (refer to "Performing FMS resynchronization" paragraph in "ABNORMAL PROCEDURES / Operational Checking" chapter). c) A short power interruption is transparent to the operator from a functional point of view. But, if a short power interruption occurs during a Cross Talk INIT, a new Cross Talk INIT has to be launched manually or the MFD has to be restarted (long power interruption).

2.3 FLIGHT MANAGEMENT PRINCIPLES 2.3.1 DATABASE
The compact flash memory contains the following data:

2.3.1.1 Standard data

The standard data is divided in 5 types of data: AIRPORT, NAVAID, WAYPOINT, NDB and COROUTE. The standard data is not modifiable. The FMS allows to manage up to two standard databases (typically two AIRAC cycles). Only one database is selected at a same time (called used database). The crew has the capability to select the other one (called additional database). Refer to "MULTI PHASE RELATED PROCEDURES / Other functions / Database Operation / Standard database selection".
2.3.1.2 Pilot data

The pilot data is divided in 4 types of data: AIRPORT, NAVAID, WAYPOINT and ROUTE. Airport, Navaid and Route type contains up to 100 items whereas Waypoint type contains up to 300 items. The pilot data can be consulted, modified, created or erased.
J61334BB - 00
Page 44
2.3.1.3 Data harmonization

At power on, a cross talk initialization happens to ensure consistency between both FMC. When discrepancy is found between the compact flash contents (pilot database and/or secondary flight plan) of each side, a data transfer is performed between the two compact flash memories according to the following principles: If both FMC are started up at the same time (delay lower than 5 seconds), the transfer shall be performed from FMC side 1 to FMC side 2. If both FMC are started up with a delay greater than 5 seconds, the transfer shall be performed from the first powered up FMC to the last powered up FMC. In case the transfer fails, no data harmonization is performed and DTA alert will be raised (refer to "ABNORMAL PROCEDURE / Failures" )
CAUTION: The compact flash has to be included in the FMS. If the compact flash is missing, the save function is degraded.
Note: When discrepancy is found between the used standard databases and/or between the additional standard databases and/or between the company databases and/or between the magnetic variation reference models, no data harmonization is performed and specific alerts are generated (refer to "ABNORMAL PROCEDURE / Failures" chapter).
2.3.2 FLIGHT PLANNING 2.3.2.1 General description

A flight plan is a succession of legs (path and termination). The user may create a flight plan by selecting airports, navigation aids and other waypoints. The user can use pre-stored departure procedures, waypoints, navaids, and arrival procedures, but can also create pilot data (waypoints, navaids, airports and routes) and use these data to build a flight plan.
J61334BB - 00

2.3.2.2 Active flight plan
Page 45
The active flight plan (FPLN) is the flown flight plan used for A/C guidance purposes. It contains up to 100 legs. When modified by the crew, a copy of the active flight plan is built, called temporary flight plan. The aircraft is guided by the active flight plan, even when a temporary exists or a secondary flight plan is initialized. Once a temporary flight plan is created and until its activation or deletion, any flight plan revision is performed on the temporary flight plan and the active flight plan is not modified by crew revisions. Note: For temporary flight, the FPLN page becomes TMPY page and associated data are displayed in yellow. If any flight plan revision cannot be completed due to limit in the number of legs, the attempted revision is aborted with a the following scratchpad message: FPLN FULL After a cold start, the active flight plan is initialized as following:
2.3.2.3 Temporary flight plan

The temporary flight plan (TMPY) is used to check flight plan modifications before activation. Any revision of a flight plan creates a temporary and multi-revisions are allowed on this temporary before its activation. By default, no temporary FPLN exists.
J61334BB - 00
Page 46
When a revision is performed on the active flight plan and if no temporary flight plan exists, then a temporary flight plan is created as a copy of the active flight plan by taking into account this first revision. A temporary is created upon following actions : Departure or arrival procedures insertion or modification, New destination selection, Waypoint insertion: next waypoint function or direct insertion, Direct to, Holding pattern insertion or modification, Leg or discontinuity deletion, Discontinuity insertion, Offset insertion or modification, Overfly status modification, Vertical revision: step altitude, altitude constraint, FPA constraint, speed constraint insertion, deletion or modification or step mode modification, RTA modification, Airway insertion, Vertical wind profile revision for a leg: insertion, update or deletion of a wind group, UNDO activation: a temporary flight plan is created with the recovery flight plan.
As soon as a temporary flight plan is created and as long as this temporary flight plan exists, the EXEC green annunciator is lighting on and the user can activate it from any page by pressing the EXEC key on MCDU.
CAUTION: The impact of modifications on TMPY FPLN has to be checked before pressing the EXEC key.
When the active flight plan is sequenced, the temporary flight plan is automatically sequenced if the first leg of the temporary flight plan matches the active leg being sequenced. The temporary flight plan is no longer sequenced when the first leg of the temporary no longer matches the active leg. When a temporary exists, the crew is able to activate it. In such a case, the active flight plan is replaced with the temporary flight plan and then the temporary flight plan is deleted. The temporary flight plan doesn't exist any more until a new temporary flight plan creation. If the FROM of the temporary flight plan is the Turning Point (T-P) and aircraft parameters (position, track, GS, TAS) are not all valid, then the activation command is rejected with the following scratchpad message: NOT ALLOWED When a temporary exists, it can be cancelled in the following cases: The crew manually cancels the temporary flight plan The crew manually cancels the active flight plan A flight plan initialization is performed directly from the active flight plan A DATA ERASE is performed
In such cases, the temporary flight plan is deleted and is not activated. The temporary flight plan doesn't exist any more until a new temporary flight plan creation.

2.3.2.4 Secondary flight plan
The secondary Flight Plan (SEC) is used to:
Page 47
Save the current flight plan for an eventual futur re-engagement, Prepare an alternate flight plan, Prepare a return flight plan or a flight plan to be flown after the current flight plan (and so to double the capacity of the flight plan)
The secondary flight plan page can be reached from the primary flight plan by pressing the FPLN Key. The following actions can be done on the secondary flight plan :
Copy of the active flight plan, Swap with the active flight plan, Activation: secondary FPLN replaces active flight plan, Cancellation: delete the secondary FPLN, Route initialization: FROM/TO, route selection Lateral revisions (except Holding Pattern at PPOS, DIRECT-TO, OFFSET), Vertical revisions.
When the secondary FPLN is initialized as a copy of the active flight plan, any modification performed on the secondary flight plan makes both flight plans differ. The waypoint preceding the first divergence is the alternate waypoint. Before the alternate waypoint, the modifications made on the active flight plan are reported on the secondary flight plan.
Active FPLN
Alternate Waypoint
Secondary FPLN
Note: If the secondary FPLN was initialized as a copy of the active flight plan before the swap, the revisions of the active flight plan keeps being reported on the secondary flight plan after the swap. The secondary flight plan is saved by the data Save action in the DATA MENU page (refer to "MULTI PHASE RELATED PROCEDURES / Other functions / Database operation / Saving data"). Note: Saving the secondary flight plan is not possible when it has been initialized as a copy of the active flight plan.
J61334BB - 00
Page 48
After a cold start, the secondary flight plan is initialized from the secondary flight plan contained in the Compact Flash. When this secondary flight plan is not found, corrupted or not consistent with the loaded standard and pilot databases, FMC will initialize this flight plan with:

2.3.3 PREDICTIONS
Page 49
The FMS computes various prediction and updates them continually during flight: Pseudo waypoints: Altitude intercepts (Top Of Climb...) & Top Of Descent (TOD)
Time and fuel predictions: Estimated Fuel On Board at each waypoint of the flight plan Predicted Gross Weight at Landing Estimated Time at each waypoint of the flight plan: Estimated Time of Arrival (ETA) Estimated Time En route (ETE)
RAIM Availability predictions: Predicted Receiver Autonomous Integrity Monitoring (PRAIM) at destination (DEST), Final Approach Fix (FAF) & Missed Approach Point (MAP), Alternate airport (ALTN) and along the flight plan.
J61334BB - 00
Page 50
2.3.3.1 PRAIM
The predictive RAIM function allows predicting the availability of the RAIM algorithms at a given fix and a given time through a dedicated protocol between the FMC and the GPS sensor. This capability allows providing the following services: Monitoring the RAIM availability at destination (destination and alternate airport) or at any fix (on request). Verifying automatically the RAIM availability at destination, Final Approach Fix and Missed Approach Point in order to allow the approach using GPS as localization source. Verifying on request the RAIM and/or FDE (Failure Detection and Exclusion) availability and continuity along the flight plan (active or secondary). The calculation principle used to evaluate the RAIM and/or FDE availability along the flight plan is the following: The FMC uses T/O TIME and performances data to compute predictions on the flight plan.
The FMC generates the point list to be computed (points located every 5 minutes along the trajectory). The FMC sends PRAIM request to the GPS for each point of the list (at ETA 15 minutes) and, according to the chosen prediction criterion, determines the RAIM and/or FDE availability using the request responses. Each prediction criterion is briefly described hereafter: RNAV10 oceanic: FDE shall not be unavailable more than 34 minutes (i.e. 5 consecutive points of the computed list). RNP4: FDE shall not be unavailable more than 25 minutes (i.e. 4 consecutive points) and HIL shall be less than 8 NM for all the flight plan (i.e. each point). RNAV 5-2-1: RAIM shall not be unavailable more than 5 minutes (i.e. each point). RNP1: HIL shall be less than 2 NM for all the flight plan (i.e. each point).

2.3.3.2 Wind Management
Page 51
In flight, the short-term predictions are computed using the current wind parameters provided by the selected sensors. The predictions for the rest of the flight plan or the predictions on ground use a wind modelization defined here below: Two methods are available for wind modelization:
SIMPLIFIED WIND MODEL

This model uses the cruise mean wind and destination wind defined in the CRUISE and APPROACH pages (refer to "Cruise performances" and "Approach performances" in "FLIGHT PHASE RELATED PROCEDURES / Preflight / Performances initialization") as follow: On ground:
For the climb phase: half the cruise mean wind. For the cruise phase: cruise mean wind. For the descent phase: average wind between cruise mean wind and destination airport wind.
In flight, during climb: For the climb section: average wind between current wind and cruise mean wind For the cruise and descent sections: computed as on ground.
In flight, during cruise (for cruise and descent sections): computed as on ground. In flight, during descent: average wind between current and destination airport wind.
J61334BB - 00
Page 52
PRECISED WIND MODEL

This model uses a vertical wind profile defined by the crew along the flight plan. It is possible to define a vertical wind profile for each waypoint of the flight plan. The vertical wind profile contains up to 4 groups defined by: The direction of the wind origin The wind speed The flight level Altitude

2.4.2 VERTICAL NAVIGATION 2.4.2.1 Vertical navigation sections

The vertical navigation profile is defined by the following sections: Climb section, defined by the portion of the active flight plan located between the A/C position or departure airport and the Top Of Climb (TOC). Cruise section, defined by the portion of the active flight plan located between the TOC and the Top Of Descent (TOD). It includes "cruise climb" and "cruise descent" subsections, corresponding to flight level changes in cruise phase. Descent section, defined by the portion of the active flight plan located between the TOD and the destination airport.

2.4.2.2 Climb profile

A climb profile is computed whenever A/C is in climb section or cruise climb subsection. FMC takes into account the altitude constraints of the flight plan to build the climb profile.
J61334BB - 00
T
2.4.2.3 Step and level interception
Page 55
FMC computes specific altitude interception points: TOC, to locate the point where the A/C will reach the cruise altitude and TOD, to locate the point where the A/C will intercept the descent profile. The cruize altitude and the descent profile are frozen as soon as the time to reach the TOD is lower than 5 minutes. The crew can plan up to two level changes in cruise phase by entering step altitudes in climb (resp. descent). Cruise climb (resp. cruise descent) subsection starts at a step waypoint. In those cases, FMC computes level interception points to locate the place where A/C is predicted to reach the step altitude. Cruise climb and cruise descent subsections cannot be computed if the descent profile is frozen. In cruise phase, when A/C altitude is 300 feet above (respectively below) the cruise altitude, a cruise level interception point is computed and current section becomes "cruise descent" (respectively "cruise climb").
COCKPIT: TOC, TOD, Step and level interception points data are provided to be displayed on the Navigation Display.
2.4.2.4 Descent profile

A descent profile is computed whenever A/C is in descent section or cruise descent subsection. In descent section, the descent profile is computed according to altitude constraints and flight path angle provided by the database or entered by the crew and the default flight path angle. In cruise descent subsection, the descent profile is computed from the default flight path angle. If the descent profile (see "Step and level interception" part) is frozen or the A/C is in descent section, the FMC computes: the Descent Profile Intercept point : the point along the flight path where the selected flight level intercept the computed descent profile. the Selected Altitude capture point : the point along the flight path where the the A/C will capture the selected flight level. COCKPIT: Descent Profile Intercept and Selected Altitude capture points data are provided to be displayed on the Navigation Display.

2.4.2.5 Vertical Track Alert

COCKPIT: The Vertical Track Alert (VTA) is provided to warn the crew whenever it is required to change the selected altitude in order to follow the computed climb or descent profile or to acknowledge a step.
2.4.2.6 Altitude
TRANSITION ALTITUDE
The departure and destination transition altitudes, TRANS ALT, are provided by the standard database according to the departure and destination airports. The crew can override it on the APPROACH page (Refer to "Approach performances" paragraph in "Multi phase related procedures" chapter) for destination airport and on the TAKE-OFF page (Refer to "Take-off performances" paragraph in "FLIGHT PHASE RELATED PROCEDURES / Preflight / Performances initialization") for departure airport.
BARO-SETTING
The crew can insert the destination QNH on the APPROACH page. This QNH is used by the FMS for internal conversions of altitudes during the descent section when A/C is above the destination transition altitude (Refer to "Approach performances" in "FLIGHT PHASE RELATED PROCEDURES / Preflight / Performances initialization"). By default, the current baro setting is used.
CRUISE ALTITUDE
The cruise altitude CRZ ALT is used by the FMS to compute the TOC point and the possible level interception points of the cruise section.
CEILING
The FMS computes a cruise ceiling according to the aircraft performances. This ceiling is used to limit the cruise altitudes insertable by the crew (including step altitudes). If the A/C is flying above the computed ceiling, all parameters computed according to performance database (predictions, speed targets and speed bugs) are invalidated.
J61334BB - 00

LANDING ELEVATION
The Elevation of the landing runway is computed as following: If the direct distance from A/C to departure is lower than 10NM, Landing Elevation is filled with the elevation of the active flight plan departure runway or helipad if selected, with the elevation of the departure airport otherwise. Else, if the active flight plan destination is defined, Landing Elevation is filled with the elevation of the active flight plan destination runway or helipad if selected, with the elevation of the destination airport otherwise. If temperature compensation is active, the runway or helipad geometric elevations are corrected.
2.4.2.7 Vertical profile error

During the vertical navigation profile computation, inconsistencies may appear in the following cases : Step waypoint located on a "fish-bird" leg (skipped during automatic trajectory computation) Climb level interception point located after the TOD (Top Of Descent) Level interception point located after the last waypoint of the flight plan On ground, TOD located behind the A/C
Note: In such cases, the following message is displayed in the scratchpad line. Altitude constraints or steps on the current flight plan must be checked in VNAV 1/2 page.

CLIMB SECTION
TGT IAS is equal to a speed value computed by the FMC (Managed Speed function) TGT VS is invalid. VDEV is computed by comparison the A/C altitude with the minimum between the selected altitude and the next altitude constraint defining the vertical profile.
CRUISE SECTION
TGT IAS is computed by the FMC (Managed Speed function). TGT VS is invalid (as long as A/C current altitude is within 300ft from the cruise altitude). VDEV is computed by comparison the A/C altitude with the selected altitude when Cruise altitude is not frozen, or with the cruise level when the cruise altitude is frozen (refer to "Step and level interception" part).
CRUISE CLIMB SECTION

TGT IAS is computed by the FMC (Managed Speed function). TGT VS is invalid VDEV is computed as in Climb section.

2.4.3 MANAGED SPEED
Page 61
A managed speed is computed for each phase of flight and is mainly used to define the target IAS (displayed on VNAV 1/2 and PROG 2/3 pages) and to provide the speed bugs to the system. In order to compute the target speed according to the current aircraft conditions, the FMC manages a phase specific to the managed speed logic.
2.4.3.1 Managed speed inputs

The managed speed value depends on the following conditions: Managed Speed Approach Phase: Active / Inactive (this paramater can be manually set on MCDU) Ground / Flight status: Ground if the flight phase is ground / Flight otherwise. AFCS mode: Auto Flight Control System mode Flaps Lever position: 0 / 15 / 25 (ATR42 only) / FULL Landing Flaps 25 option: Active / Inactive Flaps Unlock Status: Locked / Unlocked Operating Engines number: 2 engines / 1 engine out Power Management selection: TO / MCT / CLB / CRZ Icing condition: Normal / Icing
A/C switches to: A/C AT the selected altitude if AFCS mode is ALT and selected altitude - 50ft < A/C altitude < selected altitude + 50ft. A/C altitude above the selected altitude if A/C is AT the selected altitude and A/C altitude > selected altitude + 300ft. A/C altitude below the selected altitude if A/C is AT the selected altitude and A/C altitude < selected altitude - 300ft.

2.5 FLIGHT CONTROL PRINCIPLES 2.5.1 AUTOPILOT ENGAGEMENT CONDITIONS

When the active flight plan and lateral trajectory are valid, the LNAV engagement is possible if A/C is inside the capture zone. For heading legs and track legs, LNAV may be engaged at any time. For fixed path legs, the A/C must be within 2 NM of the active leg prior to capture in the Terminal/Approach mode and within 4 NM when Enroute.
2.5.2 AUTOPILOT DISENGAGEMENT CONDITIONS

When the LNAV is engaged, the disengagement happens when one of the following conditions is verified: Active flight plan or lateral trajectory is not valid Active leg is a discontinuity Ground speed is less than 20kt Active leg is a holding leg (Hx leg) and A/C is not inside the capture zone extended to 45NM Active leg is a heading leg (Vx leg) or course leg (Cx leg except CF leg) and A/C is not inside the capture zone Active leg is a curved leg (AF or RF leg) and A/C is not inside the capture zone extended to 45NM Active leg is a CF, DF, TF, FA, FM or PI leg and A/C is not inside the capture zone extended to 45NM

PILOT INTERFACE
The pilot interface is made of the Multi Function Display (MFD), the Primary Flight Display (PFD) and the MCDU. Multi Function Display (MFD) including Navigation Display, to display alerts, and Primary Flight Display (PFD), to display targets and speed bugs, are not described in this document. Only the MCDU interface is described in the present chapter. Trajectory, composed by the first 3 legs and transitions, and FPLN data are provided to be displayed on the MFD (ND format and PFD format in case of outer PFD failure).
3.1 MCDU INTERFACE

The MCDU includes a full colour flat panel Active Matrix Liquid Crystal Display (AMLCD) and contains message annunciators, brightness keys, line select keys, numeric and alphabetic keys, access keys and function keys as shown below:

3.1.1 MENU PAGE
Page 71
The MCDU page list the various systems which the user can access via the MCDU. The MCDU displays the MENU page in the following cases: After power up, if no subsystem responds during init phase, After power up, if active subsystem is not the own side subsystem (FMS 1 for MCDU1, FMS 2 for MCDU2), When the MENU key is pressed, When the communication breaks down with the active subsystem.
Example of MENU page with MCDU connected to two FMS subsystems and FMS1 active. The names of the subsystems (e.g. FMS 1, FMS 2) connected to the MCDU are displayed, followed by one of the following tags: <ACT>, display. <OFF>, <REQ>, (Blank), when subsystem is active. It means that this subsystem manages the MCDU when subsystem is lost. when subsystem is requesting attention. when subsystem is inactive.
Only one subsystem manages the MCDU display at a time. The user selects a system by pressing the Lsk beside the desired subsystem name. Then the selected subsystem becomes the active subsystem.

3.1.2 KEYS AND ANNUNCIATORS DESCRIPTION

BRIGHTNESS KEYS
Those keys control the brightness of the screen and annunciators. Press "BRT UP" (respectively "BRT DOWN") to increase (respectively decrease) the luminance of the display.
MESSAGE ANNUNCIATORS
The MCDU provides five annunciators which the illumination has the following meaning: MENU : Another system linked to the MCDU requests to be selected. FAIL : Illuminates at maximum brightness with the display blank upon MCDU detection of a major failure (annunciator managed by MCDU software). MSG : A message of the system which manages the display has occurred. OFST : An offset value has been inserted in the flight plan. EXEC : The EXEC key is active. To confirm the execution of a command, press it.
CAUTION: Annunciators are only refreshed when the FMC is active on the MCDU (RMS is not managed by the FMC). If FMC are in single mode and desynchronized, when the MCDU is switching from one FMC to the other one, the annunciators are not automatically refreshed.
NUMERIC AND ALPHABETIC KEYS

The numeric keys are used to enter numbers 0 to 9, .. +/-, the first press displays - in the scratchpad and the next press displays alternatively + and -. /, writes a slash, used as a separator. SP, writes a space. The alphabetic keys enable to enter the 26 letters of the alphabet and a space. E, W, N, S have a specific drawn key, because they are used to enter latitudes and longitudes. CLR : This key allows to clear data (refer to "Clearing data" paragraph)
LINE SELECT KEYS

There are six Line Select keys (Lsk) on each side of the AMLCD screen. A push of a Lsk affects the adjacent line for data entry, selection, or deletion. It allows, into the fields containing < or > prompt, to access to a function identified in that field. When a data is not modifiable or when neither data nor prompt is displayed beside the Lsk, the following message is displayed in the scratchpad line: NO ACTION DEFINED
FUNCTION KEYS
J61334BB - 00
Page 73
Pressing a function key enables displaying a new MCDU page and accessing to the corresponding function: FPLN: Accessing to the FPLN pages (for instance: active, secondary flight plan pages). PROG: Accessing to the PROG pages. DTO: Accessing to the DIRECT TO pages. PERF: Accessing to the PERF pages. MSG: Accessing to the MSG pages. DATA: Accessing to the DATA MENU page or the DATA LIST page (pressed twice) MRK: Accessing to the MARK page, and the updated, stored position function. VNAV: Accessing to the VNAV pages. RMS: Accessing to the radio management system, not managed by the FMC.
ACCESS KEYS
The access keys are : MENU: Accessing to the MCDU MENU page where the list of the equipment linked to MCDU are displayed. Press it to change the equipment that monitors the display. PREV: When there is more than one subpage, this key enables to scroll up the page. NEXT: When there is more than one subpage, this key enables to scroll down the page. EXEC: When the EXEC annunciator is illuminated, this key allows to confirm the execution of a command. Note: a) When there is more than one page for a function (PERF, PROG...), the PREV and NEXT keys also enable to display the pages of the function by circular permutation. b) For all keys or Line Select keys, except for the CLR key, which has a specific treatment, a press greater than 1 s has the same result as two consecutive presses. c) BRT, MENU keys are linked to the use of the MCDU and are independent of the type of equipment connected to it. d) The MENU key is a way to change the equipment that monitors the MCDU display.
RETURN PROMPT
When a <RETURN prompt is present on a MCDU page, a push on the Lsk beside this prompt allows to return to the previously displayed page, except when explicitly described.

3.1.7 DATA ENTRY

Using the numeric and alphabetic keys write in the scratchpad the data to insert. Then press the Lsk corresponding to the field of the data. If this field contains several data, the slash character has to be used with the following rules: Entry of first data only: DDDD Entry of second data only: /DDDD Entry of third data only: //DDDD Entry of first and second data only: DDDD/DDDD Entry of second and third data only: /DDDD/DDDD Entry of first and third data only: DDDD//DDDD DDDD is the data and / the separator of data fields. The maximum number of data included in a set is limited to 4. The length of the format of data to insert is the same as the display format. The sign is necessary but not the unit. Example: To insert 14H22, enter 1422. The point is only necessary for decimal data entry.
FOR LATITUDE OR LONGITUDE

GEO DMH coordinates: Entry of the indication N/S or E/W can begin or end the value. Example: To insert S45 42.23, enter S4542.23 or 4542.23S . In certain cases, the entered data can be shortened, as indicated in the following table of insertion examples:

4.3.1 CRUISE ALTITUDE

The cruise altitude is used by the FMS to compute the level interception points of the cruise section. The current CRZ ALT is displayed in the PERF INIT page, VNAV 1/2 page and CRUISE page. During the CRUISE (without freezing conditions, see below), the cruise altitude is equal to the selected altitude (else the value entered by the crew if it exists, otherwise the current A/C altitude will be used by FMC as cruise altitude value). During the CRUISE (within freezing conditions, see below), the cruise altitude is frozen to the value set before entering freezing conditions. Note: During the CRUISE, CRZ ALT is not insertable and displayed in green (unless selected altitude is invalid). In CRUISE flight phase, in order to allow the crew to modify the selected altitude without affecting TOD and descent profile computation, the cruise altitude is frozen: during the 5 last minutes before A/C reaches the TOD, or during the last 10 minutes before reaching the TOD when an approach procedure including a Final Approach Fix (FAF) has been selected and selected altitude changes to or below the FAF altitude - 100ft.

Offset insertion is rejected with a RANGE ERROR message if offset value is not within the range [L20 ; R20] NM. Offset insertion is rejected with a NOT ALLOWED message in the following cases: Active leg is neither a track to fix leg (TF leg) nor a course to fix leg (CF leg) Active leg or next leg termination is the destination runway Course change between active and next leg is more than 90 Active leg is part of an approach procedure Active leg is followed by a discontinuity (A 45 intercept path does not rejoin offset leg 2N M before offset leg termination) and (the next leg is the last offsetable leg of the flight plan or the offset is also considered as delayed on the next leg (from the end of the active leg termination).
OFFSET DELAYED
At offset insertion, an OFFSET DELAYED message is displayed and offset will be activated at next sequencing in the following case: A 45 intercept path does not rejoin offset leg 2NM before offset leg termination and the next leg is not the last offsetable leg and a 45 intercept path from the active leg terminatio n rejoins offset leg 2NM before next offset leg termination.
CAUTION: If a new offset is set when the current offset is delayed, the offset is cancelled (see "OFFSET CANCELLED" part). The new offset has to be set again to be inserted.

Note: After selection, FMC performs the following tests:
Page 315
a) Integrity test of navigation database. In case a FMC detects that its database is corrupted, it raises a "cross talk data discrepancy alert" (CTK) and switches in independent mode. The other FMC will detect the loss of communication and will raise the "cross talk failure no communication FMS1/2" (CTK) alert and also switches in independent mode. b) Consistency test of navigation database. Refer to"FLIGHT PHASE RELATED PROCEDURE / Preflight / FMS Initialization / Checking navigation database" for consistency test details. Note: Standard database selection has the following consequences:
a) Active and temporary FPLN are cancelled. b) Secondary FPLN is cancelled. It can possibly be replaced by the secondary FPLN in Compact Flash if this one is consistent with the uploaded standard database. c) Nearest navaids and nearest airports lists are updated. When the two FMC has not the same used standard database, CTK alert is raised and the FMC remains in independent mode. In case the two FMC has common additional standard database, select it on one FMC and restart the other FMC to retrieve the two FMC in dual mode. In case one FMC has its additional standard database common with the used standard database of the other FMC, restart the FMC to retrieve the two FMC in dual mode.
