DISENGAGEMENT CONDITIONS<br />

<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 />
