System Descriptions (DSC, Organized by ATA: Fcom Contents

The FCOM document is organized into five main parts: 1) System Descriptions divided by ATA chapters, 2) Procedures divided into normal, abnormal/emergency, and special operations sections, 3) Limitations, 4) Operations Engineering Bulletins, and 5) Performance divided by phase of flight. It defines warnings, cautions, and notes and organizes information into three layers - need to know, nice to know, and detailed information. The QRH is organized into six parts which provide abnormal and emergency procedures, normal procedures, in-flight performance data, operational data, and engineering bulletins, with emergency checklists on the back cover.

FCOM CONTENTS

The contents of the FCOM are organized in the following five parts:

1. System Descriptions (DSC, organized by ATA


This section is divided into ATA chapters for each aircraft system.
This section includes a specific description of each system and its associated cockpit interfaces.

2. Procedures (PRO)

1. PRO-NOR : Normal Procedure

1. PRO NOR-SOP (Standard Operating Procedures)

2. PRO NOR-SRP (System Related Procedure )

3. PRO-NOR-SUP : (Supplementary Procedure)

2. PRO ABN : Abnormal/Emergency

3. PRO SPO : Special Operations

3. Limitations (LIM)
This section provides the aircraft and system limitations that the flight crew must know or refer to in operations.

4. Operations Engineering Bulletins (OEB)


Operations Engineering Bulletins (OEB) are issued, when it is necessary, to rapidly transmit technical and procedural
information. The OEB chapter provides a list of all applicable OEBs.

5. Performance (PER, organized by phase of flight)


This section includes the aircraft performance for each flight phase.
DEFINITIONS OF WARNINGS, CAUTIONS AND NOTES
The following are the official definitions of warnings, cautions and notes taken directly from the JAR25/CS-25
and applicable to Airbus flight operation documentation:
WARNING: An operating procedure, technique, etc. that may result in personal injury or loss of life if not
followed.
CAUTION: An operating procedure, technique, etc. that may result in damage to equipment if not followed.
NOTE: An operating procedure, technique, etc. considered essential to emphasize. Information contained in
notes may also be safety related.

INFORMATION TYPE AND LAYERS


The FCOM has technical information that may be used for:
‐ Flight crew operations in flight, or on ground
‐ Airlines operations on ground
‐ Training.
To take the above-noted objectives into account, the FCOM is organized in three layers as follows:
‐ Layer 1: "Need to know"
Layer 1 presents information that is necessary in the cockpit.
‐ Layer 2: "Nice to know"
Layer 2 presents information that is used as a reference, in order to fully understand the logic of the aircraft
and pilot interfaces.
‐ Layer 3: Detailed information
Layer 3 provides more detailed explanations that are not necessarily needed in flight.
Note: For paper only, the following examples show the visual characteristics of each kind of layer
QRH CONTENTS
