<strong>AIRCRAFT</strong> <strong>SYSTEMS</strong><br />
AUTO FLIGHT - FLIGHT GUIDANCE<br />
AP/FD COMMON MODES - APPROACH<br />
LAND mode disengages:<br />
‐ Upon engagement of the go-around mode<br />
‐ If the flight crew presses the APPR pb, when the aircraft has been on ground for at least 10 s<br />
with the autopilot disconnected.<br />
Note: When LAND is not displayed on the FMA at/or slightly below 400 ft, the landing<br />
capability degrades to CAT 1 and an aural triple click is generated. Autoland is not<br />
allowed with CAT 1 displayed on the FMA.<br />
FLARE MODE<br />
Once the aircraft reaches approximately 55 ft RA (the precise value is a function of V/S):<br />
‐ FLARE mode engages<br />
‐ The FMA displays “FLARE” in green.<br />
Around 45 ft RA, the AP/FD aligns the yaw axis with the runway centerline and the aircraft starts<br />
to flare on the pitch axis. If the autothrust is active, thrust is automatically reduced to IDLE during<br />
flare (Refer to DSC-22_30-90-C A/THR Modes - RETARD Mode).<br />
When both AP/FDs are disengaged, FLARE mode disengages.<br />
After main landing gear touchdown, the autopilot (if engaged) sends a nose down order.<br />
ALIGN SUB-MODE<br />
ALIGN is a sub-mode of LAND that lines up the aircraft’s axis with the ILS course at<br />
approximately 45 ft. Align sub-mode is not displayed to the flight crew.<br />
Note: Align sub-mode is often known as "decrab" function.<br />
ROLL OUT MODE<br />
At touchdown, ROLL OUT mode engages and guides the aircraft along the runway centerline. The<br />
FMA displays “ROLL OUT” in green, and the PFD displays the yaw bar and no FD bars.<br />
