.
After each action on FCU, verify the result of this action on:
. FMA (i.e., for arming or engagement of modes); and/or,
. PFD/ND data (i.e., for selected targets); and,
by reference to the aircraft flight path and airspeed response;
.
Announce all changes in accordance with Standard Calls defined in SOPs;
.
When changing the selected altitude on FCU, cross-check the selected altitude indication on PFD;
During descent, ensure that selected altitude is not to below the MEA or MSA (or be aware of the applicable minimum-vectoring-altitude);
During final approach, set go-around altitude on FCU (i.e., the MDA/H or DA/H should not be set);
.
Prepare FMS for arrival before starting the descent;
An alternative arrival routing, another runway or circling approach, can be prepared on the secondary flight plan, as anticipated;
.
In case of a routing change (e.g., DIR TO), cross-check the new TO waypoint before activating the DIR TO (i.e., making sure that the intended TO waypoint is not already behind the aircraft);
Caution is essential during descent in mountainous areas; ensure that the new track and assigned altitude are not below the sector safe altitude;
If under radar vectors, be aware of the sector minimum vectoring-altitude;
If necessary, the selected heading mode can be used with reference to navaids raw data, while verifying the new route and/or requesting confirmation from ATC;
. Before arming the NAV mode, ensure that the correct active waypoint (i.e., TO waypoint) is displayed on the FMS CDU and ND (as applicable);
If the displayed TO waypoint on the ND is not correct, the desired TO waypoint can be restored by either:
. clearing an undue intermediate waypoint; or,
. performing a DIR TO [desired TO waypoint].
Monitor the correct interception of the FMS lateral flight plan;
