The aircraft is at least 400 ft above the runway, if a failure occurs during
take-off approach or go-around.
A height of 400 ft is recommended because it is a good compromise between
the necessary time for stabilization and the excessive delay in procedure
initiation. In some emergency cases and provided the flight path is
established, the PF may initiate the ECAM actions before 400 ft.
Once the PF has stabilized the flight path, the PNF confirms the failure. If it is
necessary to delay the ECAM procedure, the PF should order "Standby",
otherwise he should announce "ECAM actions".
Priority must be given to the control of aircraft trajectory, and acceleration phase
should not be delayed for the purpose of applying the ENG FAIL ECAM
procedure.
Should the PF require an action from the PNF during ECAM procedures, the
order "STOP ECAM" should be used. When ready to resume ECAM procedure,
the order "CONTINUE ECAM" should be used.
The procedure may be continued until "ENG MASTER OFF" (in case of engine
failure without damage) or until AGENT 1 DISCH (in case of engine failure with
damage) before acceleration.
Note: In case of ENG FIRE, fire drill remains high priority.
ACCELERATION SEGMENT
At the engine-out acceleration altitude, push ALT to level off and allow the speed
to increase.
If the aircraft is being flown manually, the PF should remember
that, as airspeed increases, the rudder input needed to keep the beta target
centred will reduce.
Retract the flaps as normal. When the flap lever is at zero,
the beta target reverts to the normal sideslip indication.
FINAL TAKE-OFF SEGMENT
As the speed trend arrow reaches Green Dot speed, pull for OPEN CLIMB, set
THR MCT when the LVR MCT message flashes on the FMA (triggered as the
speed index reaches green dot) and resume climb using MCT. If the thrust levers
are already in the FLX/MCT detent, move levers to CL and then back to MCT.
When an engine failure occurs after take-off, noise abatement procedures are no
longer a requirement. Additionally, the acceleration altitude provides a
compromise between obstacle clearance and engine thrust limiting time. It allows
the aircraft to be configured to Flap 0 and green dot speed, which provides the
best climb gradient.
Once established on the final take-off flight path, continue the ECAM until the
STATUS is displayed. At this point, the AFTER T/O checklist should be
