06 - COMPLETION STANDARDS
.
Obtains valid information for the destination airport.
.
Carries out all items required to prepare the aircraft for the descent and arrival procedure.
.
Conducts a comprehensive descent and approach briefing as detailed in FCOM 3.03.16 (SOPs) and includes any special requirements.
07 - COMMON ERRORS
.
Late, and therefore, rushed descent and approach preparation and briefing leading to important items being omitted.
.
Data entries not checked by both crew members.
.
Distraction, leading to "two heads down" situations.
.
To understand and implement the correct descent entry according to aircraft position and required descent path.
.
To use all information and symbols available from MCDU and EFIS to properly monitor descent progress.
.
To use the appropriate method to adjust descent rate as necessary to regain required path.

The calculated top of descent point is only valid for the routing entered in the F-PLN page. Ensure that the F-PLN page contains the routing you expect to fly.
MANAGED DESCENT
The normal method of initiating a descent is to select DES mode at the FMGS calculated top of descent point. However, if an early descent is required by ATC, engaging descent mode will give 1000 fpm rate of descent until regaining the computed profile. If descent is delayed, a DECELERATE message appears in amber. To regain the optimum descent profile, a decrease in speed may be permitted towards green dot. Thereafter, managed descent mode is used to "catch up" with the ideal profile, when cleared for descent.
In DES mode, there is a target speed with high and low speed brackets. Speed will vary between these brackets to maintain the airplane on the required descent path. The speed will vary because the actual conditions (wind, temperature, use of anti-ice etc.) will differ from the assumptions made by the FMGS. If the speed decays towards the lower bracket, power will be applied to maintain the programmed path and MACH (SPEED) is annunciated in the FMA. Should the speed rise to the upper bracket, and it is computed that the required profile will not be regained, a white MORE DRAG message is displayed. The PROG page and on the ND, the level symbol should be used to monitor progress in the descent.
