Navigation: 1 DESCRIPTION¶
Navigation: 1.1 Description¶
The Traffic alert and Collision Avoidance System (TCAS) is part of the T2CAS. The T2CAS includes the TCAS and the TAWS (Terrain Avoidance Warning System). The TCAS: - Detects any aircraft, equipped with transponders, flying in its vicinity - Displays potential and predicted collision targets - Issues vertical orders to avoid conflict - The TCAS is independent from the ground-based air traffic control system. The TCAS detection capability is limited to intruders flying within a maximum altitude boundary of 9 900 ft (above and below own A/C altitude). Detection range depends mainly on intruder's XPDR type (mode A/C, mode S) and external conditions. The TCAS system uses: - One TCAS transmitter receiver - One directional top antenna - One omni directional bottom antenna - Two ATC Mode S transponders - Four ATC Mode S antennas - Radio altimeter information The TCAS system is interacting with: - Two PFD - Two MFD - Two overhead speakers for voice messages.
Navigation: 1.2 Definitions¶
Advisory A message given to the flight crew containing information related to collision avoidance. Corrective resolution advisory A resolution advisory that advises the flight crew to deviate from current vertical speed (e.g. CLIMB) when the aircraft is in level flight. Intruder A target that satisfies the TCAS threat detection logic and therefore requires a traffic advisory. Mode S Type of Secondary Surveillance Radar (SSR) equipment that provides replies to mode A and Mode C interrogations and discrete address interrogations from the ground or air.
Preventive resolution advisory A resolution advisory that advises the flight crew to avoid certain deviations from the current vertical speed because there are certain vertical speed restrictions. Proximate traffic Nearby aircraft within ±1 200 ft and 6 Nm that are neither an RA nor a TA. Resolution advisory (RA) Aural and visual information provided to the flight crew to avoid a potential collision. Threat A target that satisfies the threat detection logic and therefore requires a resolution advisory. Traffic advisory (TA) Information given to the flight crew about the position of another aircraft in the proximity zone. The information contains no resolution information.

Navigation: 3 OPERATION¶
Navigation: 3.1 Operation¶
The TCAS provides two levels of threat advisories: - If the traffic gets between 20 and 48 s (depending on aircraft altitude) of projected Closest Point of Approach (CPA), it is then considered as an intruder, and an aural and visual traffic advisory is issued. This level calls attention to a developing collision threat using the traffic advisory display and the voice message, “TRAFFIC TRAFFIC”. It permits mental and physical preparation for a possible maneuver to follow, and assists the pilot in achieving visual acquisition of the threat aircraft. - If the intruder gets between 15 and 35 s (depending on aircraft altitude) of CPA, it is considered as a threat and an aural and visual resolution advisory is issued. This level provides a recommended vertical maneuver integrated on PFD and voice messages to provide adequate vertical separation from the threat aircraft, or prevents initiation of a maneuver that would place the TCAS aircraft in jeopardy.
The TCAS resolution advisories are annunciated by the following voice messages, as appropriate: - A “CLIMB, CLIMB”: (Climb at the rate depicted by the green (fly to) band on the TCAS VSI). - B “DESCEND, DESCEND”: (Descend at the rate depicted by the green (fly to) band) - C “MONITOR VERTICAL SPEED”: Initial preventive RAs (adjust vertical speed to a value within the lighted green band). - D “MAINTAIN VERTICAL SPEED, MAINTAIN”: (No crossing maintain rate RAs (corrective)) - E “MAINTAIN VERTICAL SPEED, CROSSING MAINTAIN”: (Altitude crossing, maintain rate RAs (corrective)). - F “CLEAR OF CONFLICT”: (Range is increasing, and separation is adequate, return to assigned clearance). - G “CLIMB, CROSSING CLIMB, CLIMB, CROSSING CLIMB”: (Climb at the rate depicted by the green (fly to) band on the PFD). Safe separation will best be achieved by climbing through the threat’s flight path. - H “LEVEL OFF, LEVEL OFF”: (Reduce vertical speed to 0 ft/min) - I “DESCEND, CROSSING DESCEND, DESCEND, CROSSING DESCEND”: (Descend at the rate depicted by the green (fly to) band on the PFD) safe separation will best be achieved by descending through the intruder’s flight path. The following voice messages annunciate enhanced TCAS maneuvers when the initial TCAS RA does not provide sufficient vertical separation. The tone and inflexion must notify increased urgency. - A “INCREASE DESCENT, INCREASE DESCENT”: (Descend at the rate depicted by the green (fly to) band on the TCAS VSI). Received after “DESCEND” advisory, and indicates additional descent rate required to achieve safe vertical separation from a maneuvering threat aircraft. - B “INCREASE CLIMB, INCREASE CLIMB”: (Climb at the rate depicted by the green (fly to) band on the VSI). Received after “CLIMB” advisory, and indicates additional climb rate required to achieve safe vertical separation from a maneuvering threat aircraft. - C “CLIMB-CLIMB NOW, CLIMB-CLIMB NOW”: (Climb at the rate depicted by the green (fly to) band on the TCAS VSI). Received after a “DESCENT” resolution advisory and indicates a reversal in sense is required to achieve safe vertical separation from a maneuvering threat aircraft. - D “DESCEND-DESCEND NOW, DESCEND-DESCEND NOW” (Descend at the rate depicted by the green (fly to) band on the TCAS VSI). Received after a “CLIMB” resolution advisory and indicates a reversal in sense is required to achieve safe vertical from a maneuvering threat aircraft.
All TCAS aural alerts are inhibited: - Below 600 ft AGL when aircraft is climbing - Below 400 ft AGL when aircraft is descending.

- The “INCREASE CLIMB” RA is inhibited for certain above conditions. In non altitude crossing encounters for which a “CLIMB” RA is posted, the threat may maneuver or accelerate toward own aircraft and cause a reduction in vertical separation despite the RA. Since the “INCREASE CLIMB” RA is inhibited, the climb RA remains posted. As soon as the threat passes through own aircraft’s altitude, the RA sense will be reversed and a “DESCEND” RA will be posted. If the threat never crosses through, the “CLIMB” RA will remain posted for the duration of the encounter
- “DESCEND” RAs are inhibited: o Below 1 200 ft AGL (during a climb) at takeoff o Below 1 000 ft AGL in approach (during a descent)
- “INCREASE DESCEND” RAs are inhibited: o Below 1 650 ft AGL during a climb o Below 1 450 ft AGL during a descent
- All RAs are inhibited: o Below 1 100 ft AGL when aircraft is climbing o Below 900 ft AGL when aircraft is descending
- There can be a case where the threat aircraft track on altitude information is lost during an RA. In this case, the RA will terminate without a “CLEAR OF CONFLICT” annunciation.

Navigation: 1 DESCRIPTION¶
Navigation: 1.1 General¶
The aircraft is equipped with: - Two VOR/DME receivers - Two ILS receivers - One MKR receiver - One or two DME interrogator/receiver. Each DME is able to manage three different DME frequencies. When installed, the second DME is the back-up system of the first DME. The aircraft navigation system manages mainly VHF NAVAIDS through three navigation channels: - NAV 1 channel includes VOR 1, DME 1, ILS 1, MKR 1 receivers - NAV 2 channel includes VOR 2, DME 2, ILS 2, MKR 2 receivers - NAV 3 channel includes DME 3 only and is dedicated to the FMS for position computation. Frequencies are automatically tuned by the FMS. Note VOR/ILS/DME are managed through the same VHF frequency on the NAV channel. When a VHF frequency is tuned on a NAV channel, the aircraft navigation system tunes the selected VHF frequency (usually for VOR or ILS) and the associated UHF frequency (usually for DME). The NAV 1 and NAV 2 channels frequencies can be managed manually by the flight crew or automatically by the FMS auto-tuning function. The FMS auto-tuning function selects and tunes the most relevant NAVAIDS from the nearest VHF NAVAIDS of the FMS database, to enable the position computation by the FMS. The selection of the most relevant NAVAIDS considers the FPLN and reception criterion (geometry, signal power …). The auto-tuning mode is linked to use of the FMS as navigation source. Auto-tuning function is inhibited when the V/ILS navigation source is selected. The flight crew activates or de-activates the auto-tuning function on NAV 1 or NAV 2 channels by selecting the AUTO mode in the NAV VOR/ILS page on VCP, in the FMS “NAV FRQ” page on MCDU or on the dedicated RMS page on MCDU. CAUTION It is recommended to keep the auto-tuning activated on both NAV 1/2 channels as long as possible.
Note - The auto-tuning function does not select ILS/LOC transmitters when approaching the destination airport. If the flight crew wants to perform an ILS or LOC approach, they must set the required ILS or LOC frequencies. - FMS can deactivate the auto-tuning function if feedback data do not correspond to tuned NAVAIDS. This discrepancy may be transient or temporary. In this case, the pilot can try to re-activate the auto-tuning later. - Auto-tuning is selected at power-up.
Navigation: 1.2 VOR¶
The aircraft is equipped with two VOR receivers operating over the range 108 and 117.95 MHz. The VOR information can be displayed on the HSI part of the PFD or on the Navigation Display (ND) of the MFD. Simultaneous display on PFD and MFD is possible. The VOR audio signals are transmitted to the remote control audio unit. VOR frequency selection can be performed through MCP and MCDU. Range display and source switching on HSI between VOR and ADF is controlled by the EFCP. VOR course selection is performed through FGCP. VOR pointer symbols and reminders are displayed on both HSI on the PFD and on the navigation display on the MFD. VOR indications are displayed in white. VOR receiver 1 is used by the IESI.
Navigation: 1.3 ILS¶
The aircraft is equipped with two ILS receivers operating over the range 108 MHz to 111.95 MHz. The ILS information is displayed on the PFD on the ADI for LOC and G/S deviation and on the HSI for LOC only. ILS frequency selection can be performed through MCP and MCDU. ILS course selection is performed through FGCP. The ILS audio signals are transmitted to the RCAU. ILS receiver 1 is used by the IESI. Refer to Schematic
Note ILS glide signal is controlled only in a limited airspace volume of 10 Nm within : - ± 8 ° angle horizontally - 45 % to 175 % of the nominal glide path angle vertically. Selecting APP mode outside this controlled airspace could lead to untimely glideslope captures (especially when the aircraft is not on the LOC course). An untimely glideslope capture will manifest by inconsistent : - deviation display - pitch commands from AP/FD.
Navigation: 1.4 MARKER¶
The MARKER system consists of the following components: - Two VOR/ILS/MKR receivers - One MARKER antenna - One MARKER antenna coupler. Outer, middle and inner markers signals are received and processed for visual display and audio annunciation. The MARKER symbols (MARKER beacon annunciator) are displayed at the bottom right corner of the Attitude Display Indicator (ADI) of the PFD.
Navigation: 1.5 DME¶
The DME frequency are paired with VOR/ILS ones. The DME equipment has three channels, which enables tuning three different frequencies. The DME channels are tuned by the RMA as follow: - Channel 1 of DME is associated with frequency of VOR/ILS 1 - Channel 2 of DME is associated with frequency of VOR/ILS 2 - Channel 3 of DME is associated with frequency from FMS (AUTO tuning). The DME HOLD function enables using the DME signal from an other VOR/ILS source than the active one. A cyan H will appear beside the selected frequency to indicate the hold status. The distance reading is shown on captain and first officer Primary Flight Display (PFD) and Navigation Display (ND). DME frequency selection can be performed through MCP and MCDU. The DME audio signals are transmitted to the RCAU. Refer to Schematic

Navigation: 1.2 SYSTEM DESCRIPTION¶
Navigation: 1.2.1 FMS Software and Databases¶
During FMS power-up process, FMS software and databases are respectively loaded from DU internal memory and from the Resident Compact Flash (RCF) card installed in the slot on lower left side of the DU. DU Internal Memory stores: - FMS software , including logics and data related to a FMS software version - FMS configuration file , with configurations and limitations for FMS data display. - PERF Database , containing the aircraft Performance database based on a set of Engine / Aerodynamic / Performance models. RCF card stores:
- Navigation Databases: o Two Standard worldwide navigation database AIRAC cycles (STD), loaded for two successive 28-days cycles. They contain airports, en-route waypoints, NAVAIDS (VOR, NDB, DME, ILS), runways, airways and Terminal area procedures (SID, STAR, APPROACH). The Standard database can be customized to include the airline Company route. o Two manually defined navigation database to store additional waypoints, airports or routes:
- The Company route database (CO-ROUTE) can be defined during maintenance.
- The Pilot database (PLT) can be filled during aircraft operation by the pilot.
- Magnetic Variation Database (MAG VAR) contains worldwide magnetic variations tables, including temporal variation factors.
- The saved secondary flight plan (last SEC) Pilot database and SEC are saved to RCF cards when the pilot saves or erases these data through dedicated MCDU commands. Refer to NAV DATABASES MANAGEMENT for further information. Note FMS power interruptions do not modify RCF cards content. CAUTION The RCF card must never be removed from its DU during aircraft operation.
Navigation: 1.2.2 Flight Plan Management¶
A FMS flight plan is a succession of SID, STAR, AIRWAY, waypoints and approaches inserted by the flight crew (including holding patterns and missed approach trajectory). FMS manages: - an active flight plan (FPLN), - a secondary flight plan (SEC) (if created), - a temporary flight plan (TMPY) (if active flight update is still not executed or cleared).
Revision / UNDO EXEC / CLR TMPY FPLN SWAP COPY ACTIVATE Revision Revision SEC TMPY - Fig. 1 : Links between three types of FMS flight plan - The flight crew defines flight plans through FMS pages on MCDU. FPLN FPLN is displayed on MCDU FPLN page and on ND. This active flight plan is used for navigation. TMPY When flight crew modifies FPLN, a TMPY is automatically created and displayed on ND. This temporary becomes the FPLN once modifications are validated (Flight crew action on EXEC pb). SEC SEC is a secondary flight plan that can be used to help the flight crew during the flight (diversion at takeoff, diversion at destination,…). SEC is displayed in white on SEC pages of the MCDU and it is not displayed on ND. SEC can be activated, in this case the FPLN is erased. SEC and FPLN can be swap; FPLN becomes the new SEC. SEC can be revised. Refer to FMS PILOT’S GUIDE for further information.
Navigation: 1.2.3 Performance Predictions¶
FMS uses all available entries to computes various aircraft performance predictions along the defined flight plans (FPLN, SEC and TMPY):
- Take off speeds (for non performance limited take off) and landing speed,
- Managed speeds for every flight phase (in normal or icing situation),
- Fuel (Estimated FOB), time (ETA, ETE) and remaining distance,
- Top Of Climb (TOC) and Top Of Descent (TOD),
- Time, speed and altitude constraints,
- Maximum flight levels for the one-engine out condition (normal and icing situations). FMS updates the flight predictions at any flight crew modification (flight plan revision, cruise speed mode modification, wind model update …). In flight, predictions are updated every 10 s and upon flight plan transitions (sequencing waypoints). Refer to FPLN PERFORMANCES for further information.
Navigation: 1.2.4 Position and Navigation¶
FMS provides localization in the WGS 84 geodetic datum model that is guaranteed in ranges 180 ° West / 180 ° East and 89 ° North / 89 ° South. FMS uses a multi-sensors configuration based on GPS and radio navigation equipment. - FMS 1 uses GPS 1, VOR 1 and VOR 2, DME 1, ADC 1 and AHRS 1, - FMS 2 uses GPS 2, VOR 1 and VOR 2, DME 1, ADC 2 and AHRS 2. Sensor configuration can change depending on system failure or de activation. For further details Refer to POSITION COMPUTATION AND NAVIGATION PERFORMANCE. FMS uses its localization capacity to provide navigation indications to the flight crew. The FMS navigation function: - Indicates the aircraft position along the FPLN - Provides short-term targets and predictions to reach the next waypoint - Indicates the navigation errors.
Navigation: 2 POSITION COMPUTATION AND NAVIGATION¶
PERFORMANCE
Navigation: 2.1 FMS POSITION COMPUTATION¶
Navigation: 2.1.1 FMS Position Computation¶
Two position fixing modes are available in the FMS: ●BCP position computation BCP mode uses all available onboard sensors information to provide the best aircraft position estimation. The BCP mode with all available sensors is selected by default after FMS cold start.
●GPS (Global Positioning Position) This mode directly provides GPS coordinates. Each FMS computes simultaneously BCP position and GPS position. One position fixing mode is used (active position fixing mode) by FMS. The flight crew modified the active position fixing mode. Note It is recommended to maintain the BCP position fixing mode with all available sensors onboard activated. BCP position computation: The BCP uses all available sensor information (GPS, Navaids, ADC…). Depending on sensors availability and performance, the FMS selects the best sensor used for the BCP computation.
GPS 1 --EPE--> [BCP 1] --+
+--> [FMS 1] <--> AFCS <--> [FMS 2]
VOR1/2, DME1/2/3 ---------->+ ^ ^
| | |
GPS 2 --EPE--> [BCP 2] -----+-------+--------------------+
Each BCP selects the best available position source; FMS position and EPE are
exchanged across the dual-FMS architecture.
- Fig. 1 : BCP schematic sources for most accurate position - The following list provides expected sensor used by BCP (by decreasing order of accuracy): Nominal localization modes
- GPS mode: GPS position is used,
- D-D mode: DME/DME data are used to compute position,
- V-D mode: VOR/DME data are used to compute position,
- V-V mode: VOR/VOR data are used to compute position. Back-up localization mode
- D-R mode: Air data contribute the most to the BCP computation (Dead Reckoning mode). This mode is used when all normal localization means are uninstalled, deselected or inoperative. The position is integrated from the TAS, wind speed and heading. Wind can be updated by the crew.
Navigation: 2.2 NAVAIDS SETTING¶
Navigation: 2.2.1 Navaids Setting¶
The Navaids used for position computation can be set either by: - The FMS when auto-tuning is used: the FMS select the most appropriate navaids for the BCP computation, Note When the auto-tuning is used, FMS selects within the FMS databases the best suited NAVAIDS among the nearest VHF NAVAIDS based on FPLN and reception criteria (geometry, signal power …). The AUTO/MANUAL tuning mode is linked to use of the FMS as navigation source. Auto-tuning function is inhibited with the V/ILS navigation source. - The flight crew when manual tuning of navaids is used.
^ ^ ^ ^ V/ILS1 VOR/ILS ADF ND OVLY V/ILS2 ACTIVE STBY DME HOLD 117.70 AUTO AUTO DME HOLD 114.45 109.30 117.70 117.30 ACTIVE STBY AUTO = Tuning AUTO mode selected (auto-tuning) Note - It is recommended to keep the FMS auto-tuning activated on both NAV 1/2 channels as long as possible, except when manual tuning is required (ILS approaches …). - Manual tuning is selected at power-up (with last entered frequencies) after a long power cut. - Upon a short power cut, the tuning mode and frequencies remain the same. If Navaid parameters (position, ident, elevation…) are defined in FMS database, the DME distance or VOR omni bearing of the Navaids can be used for BCP computation. Else, the DME distance or VOR omni bearing will not be used for BCP computation.
Note FMS can deactivate the auto-tuning function if feedback data do not correspond to tuned NAVAIDS. This discrepancy may be transient or temporary. In this case, the flight crew can try to re-activate the auto-tuning later.
Navigation: 2.3 MCDU DISPLAY¶
Navigation: 2.3.1 MCDU Display¶

Navigation: 2.4.2 Required Navigation Performance (RNP)¶
Navigation: 2.4.2.1 Flight Areas¶
For navigation performance (RNP) monitoring purpose in various restrictive airspaces, FMS computes three flight areas EN ROUTE, TERMINAL and APPROACH as shown on this figure. DEPT. ARPT DEST ARPT . FAF EN ROUTE TERMINAL EN ROUTE DEPT. TERMINAL AREA DEST. TERMINAL AREA TERMINAL APPROACH TERMINAL EN ROUTE 2 NM 30 NM 30 NM 16 000ft 15 000ft
FOR INFORMATION ONLY, BASED ON A CLASSIC FLIGHT, NON REPRESENTATIVE SCALE EN-ROUTE area is computed at FMS power up while no FPLN is defined, at manual FPLN initialization and at FPLN ending. TERMINAL area is a cylinder of 30 Nm radius (direct ground distance) centered on the airport and 16 000 ft (for the departure) / 15 000 ft (for the destination) height above the airport.
APPROACH area is computed inside a TERMINAL area. It starts 2 Nm before FAF (that is contained in the approach procedure), while the active FPLN leg belongs to the approach procedure with all following conditions: - Geometry of the approach actually performed is compatible with an acceptable approach: XTK < 0.3 Nm and TKE < 90 °. - Acceptable navigation performance: o FMS using GPS: HIL < 0.3 Nm and RAIM at FAF and MAP < 0.3 Nm o FMS not using GPS: EPE < 0.5 Nm The APPROACH area is no longer computed after the MAP, activating the GA guidance mode or when the active leg does not belong to the approach procedure. When the flight area is TERMINAL or APPROACH, green label TERM or APPR (respectively) is displayed in lower left part of the HSI / mini ND on PFD.
Navigation: 2.4.2.2 Required Navigation Performance (RNP)¶
FMS database contains default RNP values for airways, SID, STAR and approach procedure.

Navigation: 2.4.3.1 Localization Error - EPE (Estimated Position Error)¶
Navigation: 2.4.3.1.01 Localization Error - EPE (Estimated Position Error)¶
EPE is the estimated horizontal error of the FMS position. EPE may be figured as a circle of radius EPE that is centered on the FMS position; it means that the true aircraft position is guaranteed with 95 % of probability to be within this uncertainty circle.
EPE FMS position FMS position uncertainty area True aircraft position - Fig. 1 - EPE computation depends on measurements accuracies and satellites or NAVAIDS geometry (depending on localization sensors used by the FMS) around the aircraft. FMS computes EPE for every localization mode using GPS and/or NAVAIDS. The localization mode used by the FMS and its EPE value are displayed in the top right corner of the MCDU screen on every FMS page. It is expressed in Nm.

Navigation: 2.4.3.2.1 Actual Navigation Performance (ANP)¶
ANP (Actual Navigation Performance) ANP is the performance accuracy criteria of the FMS navigation capability. It is designed to be compared directly to RNP. ANP is an assessment of the total navigation system error, i.e. quality of the FMS position determination. ANP distance is the quadratic sum of all positioning errors: path definition error (navigation database accuracy), guidance control accuracy and EPE. ANP is displayed on the PROG 2/3 page of the MCDU.

Navigation: 2.4.3.3 GPS Position Accuracy¶
Navigation: 2.4.3.3.1 Horizontal Integrity Limit (HIL)¶
GPS provides HIL to FMS when FMS uses GPS position to compute the FMS position. HIL is an assessment of the trust that may be placed into the GPS position integrity along the whole GPS transmission chain. HIL may be figured as a circle of radius HIL (in Nm) which is centered on the GPS position; it means that the true aircraft position is guaranteed with 99.9% of probability to be within this protection circle, assuming a latent failure occurs in the GPS (including satellites, receiver …).
HIL GPS position Area of actual GPS position integrity True aircraft position - Fig. 1 - GPS HIL value is displayed on the GPS NAV page of the MCDU.
- Fig. 2 : MCDU - GPS NAV page with HIL - FMS generates a GPS alert or an AIM alert on MCDU when the GPS HIL is not valid, depending on additional degraded GPS data.
FMS also generates also a HIL alert on MCDU when GPS HIL does not comply with the present RNP criteria.

HDOP is the level of degradation of the GPS receiver positioning accuracy in the horizontal plane due to relative position of the GPS receiver compared to visible GPS satellites. The greater is the number of visible GPS satellites and the distance between them, the lower is the position accuracy degradation and the HDOP value. HDOP value Confidence level rating 1 to 5 High 5 to 10 Moderate
10 Low HDOP value is displayed on the GPS NAV page of the MCDU.
- Fig. 1 : MCDU – GPS NAV page with HDOP - HDOP parameter is unitless.
Navigation: 2.4.3.3.3 Receiver Autonomous Integrity Monitoring (RAIM)¶
FMS uses the RAIM function of GPS to provide integrity monitoring capacity of the present GPS receiver signals by assessing its integrity.
FMS uses this information for further monitoring and predictions operations. FMS activates the AIM alert “NO GPS RAIM” on the MCDU when current navigation integrity fails.
Navigation: 2.4.3.3.4 Predictive Receiver Autonomous Integrity Monitoring (PRAIM)¶
The Predictive Receiver Autonomous Integrity Monitoring (PRAIM) function performs a
RAIM predictions computation at the destination and at any selected waypoint of the flight
plan.
FMS uses the RAIM function of the GPS to provide on ground a predictive GPS signals
integrity monitoring, i.e. through predictive HIL, which enables the flight crew to check
navigation performance availability and continuity at the destination airport and at any
FPLN or SEC waypoint in 30 minutes centered time-window.
The flight crew uses the PRAIM functions through two PRAIM pages on MCDU:
- PRAIM 1/2: Press LSK of prompt
2 3 5 4 1 - Fig. 1 : MCDU – PRAIM 1/2 page -
( 1 ) PRAIM at DEST: Predicted HIL values around ETA at destination. ( 2 ) WPT: By default, FMS selects the alternate airport. Enter the ident of any FPLN or SEC waypoint or airport initiates computation of related HIL predictions (if the waypoint ident entry is performed on the ground). ( 3 ) PRAIM at selected WPT: Predicted HIL values around ETA at WPT. ( 4 ) PRAIM TIME RANGE: Predicted HIL are given every 5 minutes up to ± 15 minutes around point ETA. ( 5 ) MANUAL GPS SATELLITES DESELECTION: This line displays PRN-number of GPS satellites which have been manually deselected from PRAIM computations. The flight crew can deselect manually a maximum of two GPS satellites (for instance when these satellites have been declared unserviceable). Enter the PRN-number (1 to 32) into the [ ] field. The flight crew can re-select a satellite by pressing the CLR key on the MCDU then pressing LSK [L5] or [R5] next to the satellite number. Note 1) FMS deletes all HIL predictions when the flight crew deselects a satellite. 2) FMS rejects automatically GPS satellites from PRAIM computations which do not provide good data. The flight crew have no access to the rejected satellites information. In the example of the PRAIM 1/2 page, satellite 12 is deselected. In the example of the PRAIM 2/2 page, no satellite is deselected.
5 8 7 6 - Fig. 2 : MCDU – PRAIM 1/2 page -
On the PRAIM 2/2 page, the flight crew can: ( 6 ) Apply computation of the HIL predictions on the Active FPLN or the SEC. ( 7 ) Select predictions criterion { RNAV 10 OCEANIC, RNAV 5-2-1, RNP 4 OCEANIC or RNP 1 } depending on airspaces crossed by the selected flight plan. RNAV 10 OCEANIC is the default selection at FMS start after a long FMS power cut. ( 8 ) Start or cancel the PRAIM function to compute HIL predictions given every 5 minutes up to ± 15 minutes around the ETA of the flight plan waypoints. The flight crew can starts the PRAIM computations only on the ground. When the prediction result is “FAIL”, the MCDU enables the flight crew to display the RESULT page to know at which ETA the computation failed due to an excessive HIL and/or an FDE (Failure Detection and Exclusion). Predicted HIL values are displayed in amber when they do not comply with the integrity criterion applied for the waypoint, otherwise they are displayed in green. FMS activates an AIM message on the MCDU when predicted HIL at FAF (Final Approach Fix) or MAP (Missed Approach Point) is invalid or degraded.

Navigation: 4 SYSTEM OPERATION¶
Navigation: 4.1 FMS POWER-UP¶
Navigation: 4.1.01 FMS Operation Modes Power Up Sequence¶
At power up, FMS is in Internal Initialization mode, after this initialization phase, the FMS switches to OPERATIONAL mode. INTERNAL INITIALIZATION mode / FMS start INTERNAL INITIALIZATION mode occurs at FMS start (on ground or in flight). The flight crew has no access to FMS functions. Duration of the initialization mode depends on the FMS power off time: - After a long FMS power cut (more than 5 s): FMS fully initializes because most of its data have been reset during the long cut. FMS data are normally displayed on ND, PFD and MCDU within 10 seconds following beginning of the FMS internal initialization mode. - After a short FMS power cut (less than 5 s): FMS partially initializes because most of its data (including computed data and manual entries and selections) are not modified. FMS data are normally displayed on ND, PFD and MCDU within 5 seconds following beginning of the FMS internal initialization mode. The FMS page displayed on MCDU at FMS interruption is displayed again at FMS start. OPERATIONAL mode / Normal FMS operation The OPERATIONAL mode activates at the end of the INTERNAL INITIALIZATION mode. FMS operational functions and data display are available in this mode allowing the flight crew to use FMS functions.
Navigation: 4.1.02 MCDU MENU¶
At FMS power up, the displayed MCDU page is the MENU page. This page enables to connect the MCDU to all systems usable through the MCDU, for example: - FMS 1 - FMS 2 - RMS 1 - RMS 2 - ACMS (for maintenance purpose only).

When both MCDU and both FMS are operative, it is recommended to connect each MCDU with its respective FMS: - On CAPT side: FMS 1 to MCDU 1 - On F/O side: FMS 2 to MCDU 2.
Navigation: 4.1.3 MCDU - Power-up page¶
When the flight crew selects an FMS on the MCDU MENU page for the first time after a long FMS power cut, the MCDU displays power-up page of the selected FMS. This page enables the identification of the FMS configuration and data files versions.

Test starts automatically during FMS power up. All MCDU function keys are inactive as long as this test is in progress OK Displayed in green when test result is correct; then INIT> is displayed in prompt [6R] FAIL Displayed in amber when test result is not correct; then FMS BITE> is displayed in prompt [6L]. In that case, maintenance action is required. ( 7 ) INIT prompt Pressing the INIT prompt displays the INIT page on the MCDU to initialize the FMS for flight operations. For further details Refer to FMS.02.00.2 Access to the FMS Initialization. Note The flight crew can also check the FMS databases reference in DATA / NAV DATA page on the MCDU.
Navigation: 4.2 FMS MODES AND MODE RECONFIGURATION¶
Navigation: 4.2.01 Dual FMS Configuration¶
In normal operation, FMS 1 and FMS 2 are synchronized and operate in DUAL mode. In case of a FMS failure or loss of FMS cross talk function, FMS switches automatically from DUAL mode to SINGLE mode or INDEPENDENT mode. DUAL mode When both FMS are operative, the DUAL mode activates automatically at FMS start.
In dual mode, both FMS perform their own computations in parallel and the cross- talk function ensures continuous exchange, comparison, validation and synchronization of processed data. In normal situation, the flight crew uses FMS and related cockpit interfaces on his side. CAUTION It is not recommended that two flight crew working on their MCDU fill data entries in the same page on the same time. Note - FMS working in parallel are managed by a Master / Slave principle. Master FMS, also called active FMS, is defined as the reference FMS for internal synchronization, radio-navigation aids auto-tuning and lateral/vertical guidance command transfer to the AFCS (Automatic Flight Control System). The other FMS becomes the slave FMS. - The Master FMS is selected following decreasing priority order of conditions: o The master FMS is the FMS selected as navigation source on the coupled side (“CPL” selection on FGCP) o If the navigation source on the coupled side is V/ILS, FMS 1(2) is the master FMS if the coupled side is CM1(2) o If “CPL” side selection data is not available, the master FMS is FMS2 - Slave FMS is first synchronized with the Master FMS at dual FMS initialization via crosstalk channel and next on any manual entry. The flight crew is prompted to initiate dual FMS synchronization when the automatic synchronization failed. When crosstalk channel is operational, the flight crew is alerted in case of data discrepancy between both FMS. INDEPENDENT mode In degraded Independent mode, both FMS are available and active but they operate independently because dual FMS cross-talk function is inoperative. Each FMS can be controlled by its respective MCDU. FMS displays the message “FMS INDEPENDENT” on ND when FMS are in independent mode. CAUTION In independent mode, it is recommended to operate both FMS in parallel to ensure same flight plan management and predictions on both cockpit sides. Otherwise, the two flight crew members may have different navigation data on their respective ND/PFD and MCDU interfaces. The flight crew can use navigation data displayed on ND/PFD and MCDU from only one FMS by selecting the same FM as NAV SOURCE via FGCP, but loosing FMS computation redundancy.
SINGLE mode In degraded Single mode, only one FMS is available but its data are automatically transferred and displayed on both cockpit sides. The operational FMS can be connected to both MCDUs.

Navigation: 5.1 MCDU ALERTS¶
Navigation: 5.1.01 General¶
MCDU displays messages as result of the FMS monitoring related to FMS internal operation, FMS functions and FMS data exchange with other systems. The flight crew is informed of message activation by two indicators: the top annunciator “MSG” and the alert reminder message on FMS pages of the MCDU; its title indicates the type of message as summarizes in the table below:
ALERT REMINDER TITLE SUBJECT AIM GPS data integrity (HIL or HDOP) invalid or degraded AIR Invalid air data APP Approach condition not met CFG Abnormal aircraft FMS databases CMD Exchanged FMS command alert CTK FMS crosstalk alert DTA User Data not saved FAL Fuel management alert FFF Fuel Flow meter Failure FMS FMS or MCDU internal failure (BITE) FPL Arrival on a FPLN discontinuity GPS GPS failure HDG Heading failure HIL GPS HIL greater that a stored value INI Invalid initial FMS position invalid ISA Cold temperature compensation alert LAB Fuel unit failure POS FMS position alert R/N Radio navigation failure or abnormal situation RNP Navigation performance degraded or RNP inconsistent TMR End of timer VAR Inserted / stored magnetic variation discrepancy WGT A/C weight update at SEC activation Several alerts reminders can be activated simultaneously but only the alert reminder with the highest priority is displayed. CAUTION FMS and MCDU must be connected when the issue is present to be detected and memorized in MCDU. Detailed messages and associated possible pilot actions are displayed on MSG pages of the MCDU. Pressing the MSG key on the MCDU keyboard displays these pages.

- Fig. 5 - The FMS on-side cannot communicate with the opposite FMS either because the FMS software versions are different or because the FMS has detected no activity on the cross talk bus during more than 15 s. Without FMS cross-talk communication, each FMS runs in INDEPENDENT mode that may increase the flight crew workload during the flight. Note It is recommended to avoid INDEPENDENT mode for RNP AR operations No flight crew action requested by the MCDU. The flight crew can identify a possible discrepancy between the software P/N of both FMS.
The flight crew can re-engage the FMS cross-talk command if the message occurred after a manual request, read eventual scratchpad message related to the type of command and identify possible effects for FMS operations: FMS in INDEPENDENT mode.

Navigation: 1 DESCRIPTION¶
Navigation: 1.1 GENERAL¶
Navigation: 1.1.1 General¶
The Terrain and Traffic Collision Avoidance System (T2CAS) is designed to provide the flight crew with visual and aural warnings of possible inadvertent flight into terrain. During normal flight operations, the system remains essentially silent. It uses GPS, radio altitude, barometric altitude and other relevant data in combination with its internal database information to provide the pilot with a full time terrain display. The look ahead function compares aircraft’s position and projected flight profile with the terrain database, and if activated, also the obstacle database. TAWS alert modes are: - Reactive modes (GPWS modes) : o Mode 1 – excessive descent rate o Mode 2 – excessive terrain closure rate o Mode 3 – altitude loss after takeoff or go around o Mode 4 – unsafe terrain clearance not in landing mode o Mode 5 – excessive descent below glide slope o Mode 6 – excessive bank angle and altitude callouts - Predictive modes: o Terrain Caution and Warning o Obstacle Caution and Warning Note CPA when used in reference to TAWS refers to Collision Prediction and Alerting. TAWS is a situational awareness system. It is not intended to be used for primary navigation of the aircraft.
Navigation: 1.2 ALERT MODES¶
Navigation: 1.2.1 Reactive modes¶
Navigation: 1.2.1.1 Mode 1¶
Mode 1 - Excessive Sink Rate This mode monitors the radio altitude and vertical speed and generates a reactive medium- term caution and a reactive short-term warning when the current flight path is descending at an excessive rate. Sink Rate Caution : If the aircraft penetrates the amber envelope, the “SINK RATE” audio alert is generated and the amber “GPWS” pushbutton light turns on.
Sink Rate Warning : If the aircraft penetrates the red envelope, the “PULL UP” audio alert is generated and the red “PULL UP” pushbutton light turns on.

Navigation: 1.2.1.2 Mode 2¶
Mode 2 - Excessive Terrain Closure Rate This mode monitors the radio altitude, computed airspeed, landing gear configuration, and landing flaps configuration and generates a reactive medium-term caution and a reactive short-term warning when the current flight path and the terrain are closing at an excessive rate. Terrain Caution : Mode 2 has two Caution sub-modes: Mode 2A and 2B. A Terrain Caution is generated when radio altitude and closure rate are of the following: - Within the red envelope for one second if the flaps are not in a landing configuration and the flaps override is not set (Mode 2A) - Within the amber envelope for one second if the flaps are in a landing configuration or if the flaps override is set (Mode 2B) When a Mode 2 Terrain caution is generated, the “TERRAIN TERRAIN” audio alert is generated and the amber “GPWS” pushbutton light turns on.

Navigation: 1.2.2 Predictive modes¶
Navigation: 1.2.2.1 Terrain and Obstacle Awareness¶
This function uses aircraft geographic position provided by the aircraft GPS, aircraft altitude and a worldwide terrain database to predict possible conflicts between the aircraft flight path and the terrain, and to provide aural alert and graphic displays of the conflicting terrain.
1) Terrain / Obstacle Display The terrain data can be displayed on the ND mode of the MFD and on the Navigation Area of the PFD. When the flight crew selects the terrain display, it replaces the Weather Radar display and can be available to the flight crew at any time. The local terrain forward of the aircraft is depicted as variable density dot patterns in green, yellow or red. The density and color is a function of how close the terrain is to aircraft altitude
TERRAIN COLORATION + 1000 FT REF. ALT. - MTCD FT - 1000 FT - 2000 FT The terrain identified as water is displayed as cyan dots. Two elevation numbers (in hundreds of feet above MSL), with the highest terrain on top and the lowest terrain under it, are displayed with the corresponding colors to indicate the highest and lowest terrain currently being displayed. If A/C altitude is safely above the highest terrain elevation within the ND range, the terrain is displayed independently of aircraft altitude. MAX TERRAIN THRESHOLD IS 90% OF SPREAD THRESHOLD IS 75% OF SPREAD THRESHOLD IS 25% OF SPREAD MIN TERRAIN 90% 75% 25% 14, 0, 4, 3 V13.2
2) Terrain/ Obstacle Alerting Three predicted A/C trajectories are used to detect conflict with terrain or obstacle. These trajectories are constituted of three parts: - An extrapolation of current A/C trajectory during : o 20 s for the CAUTION alert level trajectory o 8 s for the WARNING alert level trajectory o 1 s for the AVOID alert level trajectory. - A constant 0.5 g acceleration vertical maneuver to change current A/C trajectory to a climb trajectory. - A climb trajectory with a climb gradient corresponding to current weight, altitude, temperature, engine operative considering a climb maneuver at recommended 150 kt airspeed. The duration of this part is: o 112 s for the CAUTION alert level trajectory o 112 s for the WARNING alert level trajectory o 119 s for the AVOID alert level trajectory.
CURRENT CLIMB CAPABILITY CURRENT FPA CONSTANT 0.5 g ACCELERATION VERTICAL MANEUVER SAFETY MARGIN 1 s 8 s 20 s TERRAIN If a conflict is detected between the CAUTION alert level trajectory and terrain or obstacle: - An aural message “TOO LOW TERRAIN”, “TERRAIN AHEAD” or “OBSTACLE AHEAD” is generated - GPWS lights on the glareshield come on - Conflicting terrain areas are shown in solid yellow on the Terrain Display (MFD).
If a conflict is detected between the WARNING alert level trajectory and terrain or obstacle: - An aural message “TERRAIN AHEAD, PULL UP” or “OBSTACLE AHEAD, PULL UP” is generated - PULL UP lights on the glareshield come on - Conflicting terrain areas are shown in solid red on the Terrain Display (MFD). If a conflict is detected between the WARNING alert level trajectory and terrain or obstacle: - An aural message “AVOID TERRAIN” or “AVOID OBSTACLE” is generated - PULL UP lights on the glareshield come on - Conflicting terrain areas are shown in solid red and black cross-hatch on the Terrain Display (MFD). Note A safety margin is added to terrain and obstacle elevation. The safety margin value varies depending on distance to closest airport (it reduces when approaching to airport) and current vertical speed (it reduces with increasing descent rate). A discrete pop up signal is used to automatically display on the MFD the threatening terrain or obstacle with an auto range of 10 Nm, whatever is the previous information displayed. If a Caution alert is expected 120 s ahead of the current A/C trajectory, an Advisory line will be display on the ND . The Advisory line is displayed at the position where the Caution alert is expected to be triggered.

Navigation: 1.2.2.2 Convergence Envelope¶
As the aircraft enters the approach sector (approximately 2.7 Nm or 5 km from the runway threshold), the system begins to measure the aircraft approach relative to an imaginary convergence envelope extending from the runway threshold. The convergence envelope defines the limits for a safe arrival at the runway threshold. Forward looking alerts are suppressed as long as the calculations indicate that the aircraft can converge (safe non-CFIT approach is predicted). If the calculation shows the aircraft will not converge correctly or if the aircraft is not in landing configuration, the forward looking function is enabled and generates appropriate alerts, should a CFIT potential exist. The convergence envelope has the approximate shape of a funnel with the smallest part being a landing box that approximately overlays the runway threshold. The bottom and top of the convergence envelope accommodate normal and steep approaches, while the sides are defined to accommodate straight-on and curved approaches. The aircraft can approach and enter the envelope from any direction and convergence is calculated accordingly.
