LDG Perf User Guide

This document provides an overview and instructions for using the Airbus Landing performance application. The application calculates landing performance for Airbus aircraft based on input conditions and aircraft status. It has two main uses - for dispatch engineers to check required landing distance during flight planning, and for pilots to obtain estimated landing distance and go-around performance in flight. The interface includes panels to select the airport and runway, enter conditions data, select aircraft alerts or limitations, and view the results of performance computations. Users input data, select a computation, and the results are displayed. The application ensures landing performance compliance and assists both pilots and dispatch in safely preparing for and executing flights.

MODULE PRESENTATION

The LDG PERF application is an OCTOPUS program (except for Wide Body aircraft, for which TLC
computation engine is used).

This module is an interface designed for the pilot for use in the cockpit, and for dispatch engineers for
use on ground.

The aim of the LDG PERF application is to compute the Landing performance for all Airbus aircraft
(except for Wide Body on iPad):
- A300-600
- A310
- A320 Family
- A330
- A340
- A350
- A380.
Based on the same philosophy as the other on board performance applications, the User accesses the
LDG PERF interface for a specific aircraft tail number.

LDG PERF application is used:


- During the flight preparation: To determine the Maximum Landing Weight at destination, according
to the regulatory requirements
- During the flight: To determine the Landing Distance for an estimated Landing Weight.

The Landing module is divided in two parts:

- Dispatch Conditions:
It permits to check the dispatch conditions on Required Landing Distance and Go Around performance.
The module checks the Required Landing Distance against the Available Landing Distance and the
Approach Climb Gradient against the gradient defined by the User (not less than the minimum gradient
required by the regulation).

- In-Flight Conditions:
It permits to obtain the In-Flight Landing Distance and Go Around performance for an estimated Landing
Weight and a given configuration (autobrake setting, approach type…). The User can also check the
overweight performance data and the landing performance following ECAM alerts.

In addition to this, LDG PERF can be used to determine landing performance with MEL and/or CDL
items, and/or ECAM alerts (In-Flight only).

In order to modify their selection, the User can:


- Select other runways by tapping the corresponding cells
- Unselect runways by tapping the corresponding cells again.

1.5. Effective Date of NOTAM


There is a way to inform the flight crew of the effective date of one NOTAM (NOTice to AirMen) that is
associated with the landing.

The Administrator shall set the airport database as follows:


In the airport manager, indicate the NOTAM validity in the landing comment field (see the green box on
the figure below). The comments will be displayed on the result panel, after the landing computation is
performed on the runway.

Copyright © AIRBUS 2004-2022


PERF APPLI - LDG PERF P12

Performance Programs 0 P12


USER INTERFACE Windows L7.3 / iPad
Manual V5.3 – PPM Issue 1

An additional way to inform the flight crew of the NOTAM validity date is to use, in addition to the 3
characters that are used to define the runway (ex: 14R), the 10 additional characters (see box in blue
on the figure here above) to define the specificities of the runway.

For example, the administrator can enter “_A5_#DEC10” to inform the pilots that these runway data
correspond to the A5 reduced runway and that the data are valid until December 10, 2017. The way to
define the specificities of the runway with these additional 10 characters depends on the airline policy.
This airline policy shall be commonly shared between the administrators and the flight crew.

After publishing the new performance data for the EFB, both of these two elements are displayed to
the flight crew in Flysmart+, in the Runway panel when selecting the runway and after a computation
is performed in the landing comments.

In this way, the flight crew is aware of the validity of the NOTAM either with the name of the runway
and/or when reading the comments.

The “AUTO CONF” option provides the results relative to the configuration that permits:
- To land at the Landing Weight in input (if one configuration leads to a landing limited by the
performance), or
- To get the shortest Runway Length (i.e. CONF FULL) if both Configurations permit to land with the
Landing Weight in input.

Note: The Approach Configuration is not accessible as it is linked to the landing configuration. Landing
configuration FULL gives approach configuration 3 and landing configuration 3 gives approach
configuration 2.

In the particular case of a high altitude airport, the Approach Configuration 1+F can be applied as well
with a Landing Configuration 3, it the “CONF 1+F go-around (High ALT ARPT)” option has been

By regulation, a minimum Climb Gradient of 2.1% for a 2-engine aircraft (2.5% in CAT II), and 2.7 %
for a 4-engine aircraft, is required in the case of a Go Around. The administrator can also define a
minimum go-around value (above the minimum regulatory value) applicable to each individual runway.
The User can enter a gradient above these minimum values in the GA GRADIENT field.

Tip: The User can enter “MIN” to insert the minimum Gradient value.

GA GRADIENT % Min (STD)

In multiple runway mode, only one value can be set for the Go Around Gradient in the user inputs.
Then, for each runway, the landing application compares the Go Around Gradient set by the User to
the one set by the Administrator in the airport manager, takes the highest Go Around Gradient and
uses it for the computation.

2.2.7. Approach Speed Increment (VPilot)

LANDING RESULTS FOR DISPATCH – OUTPUTS


When the runway is selected and the dispatch conditions are set, click on the “COMPUTE” button to
run a computation and get results.
The results appear as soon as the computation is complete.

For dispatch purposes, the User must verify that the planned landing weight is lower than or equal to
the Maximum Landing Weight limited by performance (MLW(Perf)) according to the forecasted
conditions.

If the Administrator has disabled the “LW Input in Dispatch” option, the planned Landing Weight is
always equal to the certified Maximum Landing Weight (MLW).

If the Administrator has enabled the “In-Flight LDG distance considered at dispatch” option, the landing
calculations can be performed taking into account the Factored In-flight LDG Distance at dispatch.

2. SINGLE RUNWAY COMPUTATION WITH IN-FLIGHT LANDING


DISTANCE CONSIDERED
The dispatch landing distance and in-flight landing distance models are not the same. Therefore, at
dispatch, Airbus recommends also to check the Factored In-flight Landing Distance (F-LD) against the
Landing Distance Available (LDA). This avoids that the pilot discovers landing distance limitation when
performing the in-flight landing distance assessment during the descent preparation.

Note: LD and thus F-LD are computed with reverser credit.

To activate the In-Flight Landing Distance check at dispatch, the Administrator has to:
- Enable the “In-Flight LDG distance considered at dispatch” option in the landing preferences,
and choose one of the two possible options:
o “F-LD For Information Only”, or
o “MLW limited by MAX of (F-LD; RLD)”
- Enable the “Increase VAPP for dispatch” option. Then, the VAPP at dispatch is computed as
VAPP in-flight
- Select Reported Braking Action for In-Flight Landing Distance computation.

Depending on the computation results, two cases are possible:

2.1. Dispatch Not Possible


The dispatch of the aircraft is not possible when the landing is limited by performance, i.e. when the
planned Landing Weight (LW) is greater than the computed Maximum Performance-Limited Landing
Weight (MLW(PERF)).

When the calculated MLW(PERF) is below the LW entered by the User, red dashes “---” are displayed

The aircraft cannot land at this Landing Weight. The Landing weight must be reduced at least to
the value of MLW(PERF).

2.2. Dispatch Possible


The dispatch is possible when the landing is not limited by performance, i.e. when the planned LW is
lower than the computed MLW(PERF).

When the “MLW limited by MAX of (F-LD; RLD)” is activated, three landing distance calculations are
performed:
- RLD (Required Landing Distance)
- LD (In-Flight Landing Distance)
- F-LD (Factored In-Flight Landing Distance).

The most limiting of those three landing distances is displayed as the Dispatch LD. The F-LD is
considered as a dispatch limitation.

The MLW(PERF) is limited by the maximum of RLD/F-LD.

2.2.1. Landing Weight (LW)


The User enters the planned Landing Weight (LW) value.

In In-flight mode, it is possible to perform an overweight landing computation (i.e. the Landing Weight
exceeds the certified Maximum Landing Weight (MLW)).
If the LW is above the MLW, the message “overweight landing” is displayed on the interface and the
overweight landing procedure, described in the QRH-ABN-80, applies. This procedure implies a
different flare technique and a braking after the nosewheel touch. This procedure lengthens the landing
distance and has therefore been implemented in the modelling.

Tip: The User can enter “*” in the text box to retrieve the MLW.

Note: The LW is automatically retrieved from the LOADSHEET module if a LOADSHEET calculation is
performed.

2.2.2. Landing Center of Gravity (LDG CG)


The Landing CG field is displayed only for some aircraft types that feature at least, two certified forward
CG limits at Landing (for example all A320 and A340-500/-600, some A318 / A319 and A350). For
A350 and some A320 NEO family models, it is also possible to enter a given CG value in the allowed
range. Set the value here according to the aircraft Landing CG position after loading.

For example, the User can select:


 Basic or Alternate for A340-500/600, some A318 and some A319
 Basic or Extended forward for A320 OCTOPUS
 Standard (basic) or Alternate for A320 TAB.
 A CG envelope and/or a given value for A350 and A320 NEO family

The Administrator can modify the options to be more explicit (e.g. CG > 27% instead of Standard (basic)
and CG < 27% instead of Alternate for A320 for instance).

3. COMPUTATION WITH ECAM ALERT


The results panel is slightly modified (refer to the LIST of INOP SYSTEMS section below). But the main
change that appears when selecting an ECAM alert is linked to the VAPP determination details that
appear in the first Additional Results page.

3.1.1. Flaps Lever Position (FLAPS LVR POS)


Some ECAM alerts require a fixed flaps lever position for landing. For these items, this fixed lever
position is displayed in the RESULTS panel.

For other in-flight failures (that permits a landing in Conf FULL or Conf 3), both flaps lever positions are
displayed.

The results displayed in the results panel then correspond to the flaps lever position selected by the
User with the FLAPS FULL / FLAPS 3 buttons.

3.1.2. Maximum Performance-Limited Landing Weight (MLW(PERF))


The Maximum Performance-Limited Landing Weight (MLW(PERF)) is the maximum weight that permits
to safely land on the destination runway.

The MLW(PERF) is associated with the Factored Landing Distance (F-LD) when the Landing Distance
Available (LDA) is not limiting.

It is associated with the Landing Distance (LD) when:


 The F-LD is above the runway length
 The landing is not possible.

3.1.3. Approach Speed (VAPP)


VAPP is the aircraft approach speed considered for the landing computation, 50 ft above the runway
surface. VAPP is defined from the Lowest Selectable Speed (VLS), with the addition of a speed
increment due to the wind correction or induced by the effect of autothrust or ice accretion. Its
computation is detailed in the additional results page.

3.1.4. Factored LD (F-LD)


The Factored Landing Distance is the reference for In-Flight landing distance assessment.
The F-LD is displayed on the runway graph.

3.1.5. Landing Distance (LD)


The LD corresponds to the Landing Distance calculated according to the forecasted conditions
The LD is displayed on the runway graph.

3.1.6. Margin

If F-LD < LDA and LD < LDA, the margins are displayed in green :
 The difference between the runway length and the LD
 The difference between the runway length and F-LD.

If LD < LDA < F-LD, the displayed margins are:


 The difference between the runway length and the LD displayed in green
 The difference between the F-LD and the runway length displayed in amber.

3.2.1. Limitation Code


The limitation code appears on this page only when Factored LD < LDA.

3.2.2. Reference Speed (Vref)


Vref is by definition the VLS in CONF FULL of the aircraft, and is used as the reference speed for
landing computations with in-flight failures.

3.2.3. Approach Speed (VAPP)


For calculations with ECAM alert, the VAPP determination with failure logic is implemented:
- Vref is by definition the VLS in CONF FULL of the aircraft, and is used as the reference speed
for landing computations with in-flight failures.
- ΔVref corresponds to the speed increment due to the failure as it appears in the QRH
- APPR COR = MAX(ΔVwind, ΔVA/THR, ΔVIce Accretion)
- VAPP = Vref + ΔVref + APPR COR + ΔVpilot

Note:
APPR COR = VAPP – Vref - ∆Vref - ∆Vpilot
However LDG PERF performs the computation in CAS with 3 decimals precision, then the speeds are
converted in IAS and rounded for display.
As a consequence, due to the conversion and the rounding of the speeds, APPR COR displayed can
be 1kt above or below VAPP – Vref - ∆Vref - ∆Vpilot.

Note:
The LDG PERF application always computes MLW(PERF) limited by the Approach Climb Gradient with
One Engine Inoperative (OEI). The effect of an ECAM alert is not taken into account on Approach Climb
Gradient calculation.
For failures with a landing configuration required (e.g. FLAPS LVR POS 2), go-around performance is
always computed with flaps 3.
For failures with a landing configuration not required, go-around performance is computed with:
- Flaps 3 for landing flaps FULL, or
- Flaps 2 for landing flaps 3, in non-overweight, or
- Flaps 1+F for landing flaps 3, in overweight.

3.2.4. List of INOP SYSTEMS


This list gives all the inoperative systems associated to the selected ECAM alert. Only the inoperative
systems having an impact on the performance are displayed.
