19) Always use the largest radius possible when you turn the aircraft. NOTE:This will decrease the side loads on the landing gear, and the tire wear will bedecreased.20) Again, extra care must be given to turn the aircraft due to the fuselagelength and wingspan. A minimum distance from the edge of the pavementmust be maintained to reverse the aircraft’s direction. Minimum pavementdistance is 109 feet.21) Operate the brakes to stop the aircraft.22) Set the parking brake after the aircraft has stopped.TAKEOFF1) Align aircraft with runway centreline.2) Increase power smoothly to pre-determined takeoff or flex takeoff EPR(Exhaust Pressure Ratio) based on aircraft takeoff weight (max 1.40 EPR).3) Flex T/O EPR thrust reduction must not exceed 40% of the full rated takeoffthrust.10
4) We recommend, for a given takeoff weight, to maximize payload, takeoffconfiguration, and thrust rating, use the minimum thrust setting and lowestV1 speed.5) Verify that engines have stabilized.6) Watch ECAM indicator for engine problems or aircraft alarms.7) Increase power smoothly to pre-determined N1 speeds based on aircrafttakeoff weight, (85% - 105% N1). This can either be done manually orusing the autothrottle with the autopilot engaged.8) At Vr, smoothly rotate aircraft 8 degrees upwards at a pitch rate of 2 – 3degrees per second. Caution: DO NOT rotate more than 10 degrees toavoid tail strike. Tail strike will occur at 14 degrees rotation.9) Hold nose at +10 degrees after positive rate of climb is confirmed, thenraise landing gear after V2 (see below).10) Set initial climbout speed to V2+15 KTS, 1500 fpm. Caution: do notexceed 15 degrees of bank below 230 knots on initial climbout.11) Maintain +10 degrees climb to 1500 feet, or obstacle clearance,whichever is higher. +12-15 degrees climb after 1500 feet. Caution: onheavy climbout, lower nose as necessary to gain airspeed. Beware ofterrain:11
