AUTHORS' NOTE

The THALES NEW FM as installed on A318/319/320/321 aircraft is part

of the Flight Management & Guidance System (FMGS), which provides

Flight Management (FM) and Flight Guidance (FG) functions.

This guide was written by pilots for pilots. It provides information on

utilization of the Flight Management (FM) functions of the FMGS.

It is primarily intended for system familiarization during the initial

phases of training on type, and as a reference aid during line

operations.

It does not replace the AIRBUS approved procedures specified in the

FCOM and OPERATORS' manuals, which take precedence.

Guide objectives

The THALES FMS Pilot's Guide is operationally oriented and describes

the tasks performed by the pilots during flight (from preparation to

shut-down). The guide reflects the principle that only relevant need-to-

know information is presented. Nice-to-know information has been

restricted to such instances where questions might be raised by the

user. All technical details not required for operational use are omitted.



Guide description

This guide consist of a Foreword, 5 Parts and a fold-out showing the

full MCDU. Parts are divided into chapters and subjects. Tab dividers

showing Part titles and numbers are provided for prompt identification.

Part I - GENERAL DESCRIPTION is an overview of the FMGS and its

philosophy, FMGC operation, MCDU functions and operations (for

Abbreviations see PART V - Appendices).

Part II – FLIGHT-PHASES is a description of the pilot's tasks during a

normal flight from preflight through takeoff, climb, descent and

approach to landing and go-around. Examples of data entered, based

on a sample flight scenario, are given to assist clarity.

Part III – MULTIPHASE FUNCTIONS is a description of FM operations

which can be performed in the same way during different flight phases.

Part IV –DEGRADED OPERATION is a description of FM operation in

case of FMGS anomalies or downgraded configuration.

Part V – APPENDICES provide summaries of FM messages (ND, PFD,

MCDU), MCDU data format. as well as acronyms and abbreviations.

At the end of Guide an INDEX enabling quick access to specific

information and fold-out showing the full MCDU, are provided in order
