MANUAL STRUCTURE
FCOM 1 provides technical system information.
FCOM 2 provides selected performance and loading data for flight preparation.
FCOM 3 contains the Limitations, Non-normal Procedures, Bulletins, Normal Procedures (NPs), Supplementary Procedures (SPs), Operational Engineering Bulletins (OEBs) and FCOM Bulletins. The NPs set out the policy and philosophy for the Airbus operation. The NPs ensure a standard operation based on common phraseology and techniques whereas SPs cover situations that do not occur on a regular basis, e.g. manual engine start.
FCOM 4 contains information relating to the design philosophy and operation of the FMGS.
The QRH contains Non-Normal checklists, OEBs and Non-Normal manoeuvres.
The MEL details which aircraft systems may be unserviceable prior to flight and must be consulted if a reference is specified in the Aircraft Maintenance Log. The MEL is a Company document that uses the Airbus Master MEL (MMEL) as its source. Regulatory requirements dictate that the MEL must be at least as restrictive as the MMEL.

OPERATIONAL PHILOSOPHY
The NPs are set out in a logical sequence and provide the structure around which crew base their operation in order to provide a common standard. Flow patterns are designed to allocate actions to each crew member to share the workload. By following the flow patterns, each crew member ensures that all actions necessary for any particular phase of flight have been accomplished prior to the completion of the relevant checklist. Normal checklists are of the "non-action" type, i.e. all actions should be completed from memory prior to the checklist being called for. The response to a checklist item confirms that the correct action has already been carried out.
SPs are accomplished only when required.
Non-Normal checklists are provided to deal with and resolve non-normal situations on the ground or in flight and are located in FCOM 3. By contrast to normal checklists, Non-Normal checklists are of the "action" type, i.e. the "read and do" philosophy applies.

GENERAL
The autopilot is designed to fly the aircraft within the normal flight envelope. It can be engaged shortly after take-off and is certified to Cat 3B limits. The autopilot is engaged using the push-buttons (pbs) on the FCU and should be disconnected using the take-over pb on the sidestick.
The autopilot automatically disengages if the aircraft flies significantly outside the normal flight envelope limits.
AP AND A/THR DISCONNECT
When the AP is disconnected using the takeover pb on the sidestick, the audio and visual alerts (cavalry charge, master warning light, ECAM message) are cancelled by a second push of the sidestick priority pb. Similarly, when the A/THR is disconnected using the instinctive disconnect pb on the thrust levers, the audio and visual alerts (single chime, master caution light, ECAM message) are cancelled by a second push of the instinctive disconnect pb. In both cases, allow sufficient time between these successive actions to ensure that the alerts are triggered, thereby ensuring that all crew are clearly alerted to the AP or A/THR disconnect action.

FLIGHT MODE ANNUNCIATOR
The FMA is located at the top of the PFD screens. It is divided into 5 columns which indicate the operational modes of the AP, A/THR and FD. The columns are numbered from the left and indicate the following:
