Operations: Involving the technical operating rules (takeoff and landing limitations, fuel planning, etc…), in relation to JAR-OPS 1 or FAR 121.
Both airworthiness and operational regulations exist for all aircraft types. This brochure addresses "large aircraft”, which means aircraft with a maximum takeoff weight exceeding 5,700 kg. Airbus performance documentation is clearly divided into the two above-mentioned categories: Airworthiness and Operations.
.
Airworthiness: The Airplane Flight Manual (AFM) is associated to the airworthiness certificate and contains certified performance data in compliance with JAR/FAR25.
.
Operations: The Flight Crew Operating Manual (FCOM) can be viewed as the AOM (aircraft-related portion of the Operations Manual), which contains all the necessary limitations, procedures and performance data for aircraft operation.
The following table (Table 1) illustrates the large aircraft regulatory basis:
Table 1: Large Aircraft Requirements
All aircraft of the Airbus family are JAR 25 and/or FAR 25 certified. On the other hand, compliance with the operating rules remains under the airline’s responsibility.
This brochure is designed to address three different aspects of aircraft performance:
.
The physical aspect : This brochure provides reminders on flight mechanics, aerodynamics, altimetry, influence of external parameters on aircraft performance, flight optimization concepts…
.
The regulatory aspect : Description of the main JAR and FAR certification and operating rules, leading to the establishment of limitations. For a clear understanding, regulatory articles are quoted to assist in clarifying a given subject. In such cases, the text is written in italics and the article references are clearly indicated to the reader.
