Map

• The yellow aircraft symbol at the centre of the map is your position.
• The red circle is centred on the runway aiming point and has a 300m radius.

Your task is to put the former inside the latter at the optimal moment.

• The dashed blue line is an extended centre line.
• The dashed blue circle is centred on the runway aiming point and has a 5nm radius.
• The white outer circle is centred on the aircraft and has the radius selected with the Map Range control.
• The green circles are also centred on the aircraft. The solid green circle is half the radius of the white circle.

Controls

The aircraft is controlled by setting target indicated airspeed and target heading using the buttons on the control bar. The required manoeuvre will be flown automatically.

Also on the control bar are buttons to extend the gear, select slats and deploy speedbrake.

As per the QRH, only the blue hydraulics system is available. Thus:

• Gear cannot be retracted.
• Flaps are unavailable; Conf 2 and Conf 3 are identical.
• Speedbrake is not very effective.

Flight Parameters and Runway

At the top are indicated airspeed, vertical speed and altitude.

Below that is the relative position of the touchdown zone:

• TDZ QDM is the bearing to the touchdown zone from the aircraft.
• TDZ Depression is the angle between a horizontal plane and the line from the aircraft to the touchdown zone.

At the bottom are the runway parameters. QFU is the bearing of the centre line of the runway.

Aircraft Characteristics

The flight model replicates the glide ratios published in the QRH All Engine Failure checklist for a 60T A320:

• The “Speeds” button pops up the characteristic and placard speeds.
• The “Glide Ratios” button pops up the published glide ratios along with some useful rules of thumb.

The control system allows overspeeds of up to 10kt to be selected.

Menu and Play/Pause

The simulation starts in a paused state. Click the play button to start it running. It may be paused again at any time.

The menu button on the left, among other things, allows the scenario to be restarted or a new scenario to be selected.

Scenario Recommendation

You will be given a choice of scenarios, which, to some extent, build on each other from top to bottom. “Easy from here” with calm winds is recommended for your first attempt.
