Minimum Off Route Altitude, 2000 ft above highest obstacle in a ±10 NM corridor of flight path

SWINGOVERS

At night, visual swingovers are only permitted in FRA/EDDF and MUC/EDDM and under the following conditions:

• Do not accept a visual swingover later than 5NM from the runway threshold

• No modification of MCDU on final

• When starting the manoeuver, make sure that both FD´s are off

• Fully configured and stabilized at 1000ftAGL

• Fully aligned with the RWY centerline not lower than 500ft AGL

• In case of a go around, follow tower instructions

• Check FMA for correct lateral guidance HDG before selecting autopilot on

• A possible swingover, incl. the above mentioned items, must be briefed during the Smarter Approach Briefing prior TOD / T/D

Note: Discover does not permit Re-Swings.

Minimum obstacle clearance altitude, 1000 ft ± 4NM on a defined segment (e.g. airway)

• Use of a different landing flap setting;

• Select air condition packs “OFF” or “on APU” for landing;

• Use a higher DA according IAC or Landing Performance Module (if available);

• Use local engine out missed approach procedure (where published);

• Use EOSID instead of standard Missed Approach.

In case of OEI: In case of a published missed approach gradient > 2.5% it is recommended to follow the EOSID for the designated RWY according to Performance Application on the EFB.

A Go-around is mandatory if an instrument approach in both, VMC or IMC, or a visual approach is not fully stabilized by 1000ft AAL.

If a visual approach is intended, the RWY alignment must be accomplished not later than 500ft AAL (excluding SMI).

An approach, except for a circling approach, is stabilized, if the following conditions are met:

• Established on the correct lateral and vertical flight path (within 1 dot of the GS (ILS), within 100ft (NPA), within 1 light high or low on the VASI/PAPI (visual));

• Landing configuration;

• IAS = VAPP TARGET (managed or selected) -5/+10kts;

• V/S is not greater, than 1000 FPM on the A320 or 1200ft/min on the A330. If an approach requires a sink rate greater than 1000 FPM, a special briefing should be conducted; 

• Stabilized approach thrust, usually above idle;

• Ground Spoilers are armed;

• No MCDU/EFB handling/entries;

• All briefings and checklists completed.

A circling approach is stabilized, if the following conditions are met:

At 1000ft AAL, or at the MDA whichever is higher, the aircraft has to be:

• configured in the respective circling configuration (e.g. Gear Down, Flaps 3, F-Speed on Airbus Aircraft);

• V/S is not greater, than 1000 FPM. If an approach requires a sink rate greater than 1000 FPM, a special briefing should be conducted;

• Stabilized approach thrust, usually above idle,  if A/THR is not engaged;

• Ground Spoilers are arrned;

• All briefings and checklists, except landing checklist, completed.

At 500ft AAL, the aircraft has to be:

• Established on the correct lateral and vertical flight path;

• Landing configuration;

• IAS = VAPP TARGET (managed or selected) -5/+10kts.

• Landing Checklist completed.

In case of a published missed approach gradient > 2.5% it is recommended to follow the EOSID for the designated RWY according to Performance Application on the EFB.

Three alternatives may be considered:

1. Published EOSID.

2. Published missed approach procedure.

3. In favourable weather conditions: Any safe visual flight path.

Takeoff by CM1 only (no rolling takeoff permitted)

Use of Autobrake and Reverse Max recommended

At least every 60 min a fuel check must be documented

(regular check every 30 min or at least once if flight < 60 min)

OFP check:

check consumption

check remaining fuel sufficient to complete flight

check remaining fuel at dest (EFOB)
