CIRCLING APPROACH
A318/A319/A320/A321
FLIGHT CREW TRAINING MANUAL
PREFACE
Applicable to: ALL
The circling approach is flown when the tower wind is such that the landing runway is different from the runway fitted with an instrument approach, which is used for the descent and approach in order to get visual with the airfield.
APPROACH PREPARATION
Applicable to: ALL
The approach preparation follows the same schema as described in APPROACH PREPARATION section in the CRUISE chapter. However, some characteristics need to be highlighted:
FPLN
Lateral: STAR, instrument approach procedure.
Vertical: Insert F speed as constraint at FAF since the approach will be flown CONF 3, landing gear down and F speed (stabilized approach). Check altitude constraints.
RAD NAV
Manually tune the VOR/DME of destination airfield as required. PROG
Insert VOR/DME of destination airfield in the BRG/DIST field as required. Check NAV ACCY if required by comparing BRG/DIST data to raw data.
PERF
PERF APPR: Descent winds, destination airfield weather, minima and landing flap selection (wind shear anticipated or in case of failure).
PERF GO AROUND: Check thrust reduction and acceleration altitude.
FUEL PRED
Check estimated landing weight and extra fuel. SEC F-PLN
When planning for a circling approach, the landing runway will be inserted into the SEC F-PLN. The crew will update the SEC F-PLN as follows:
? SEC F-PLN then COPY ACTIVE
? Lateral revision on destination and insert landing runway
? Keep the F-PLN discontinuity

FINAL INSTRUMENT APPROACH
Applicable to: ALL
The crew will fly a stabilized approach at F speed, configuration 3 and landing gear down.
CIRCLING APPROACH
Applicable to: ALL
When reaching circling minima and with appropriate visual reference for circling,
? Level OFF
? Select TRK/FPA
? Select a TRK of 45 ° away from the final approach course (or as required by the published
procedure)
? When wings level, start the chrono.
? Once established downwind, activate the SEC F-PLN to take credit of the "GS mini" protection in
final approach when managed speed is used. Additionally, the landing runway will be shown on the ND and the 10 nm range should be selected to assist in positioning onto final approach.
? By the end of the downwind leg, disconnect the AP, select both FDs off and keep the A/THR
? When leaving the circling altitude, select the landing configuration
