4.1. Introduction
On your laptop, when you click on the LPC icon, or when you press the F3 key you reach this screen.
The LPC is customized to each aircraft and its characteristics. The first step is to choose a tail number, here the A320
with CFM 56-5B4 engines.
NOTE: As the LPC tool is almost identical for A320, 330 & 340, this presentation is based on the A320 and
the differences will be pointed out in due course.
As it is difficult to use a mouse in a cockpit, the LPC tool is designed for keyboard inputs.
NOTE: Tail number S330RM is for an A330-243 and S340CM is for an A340-313. These tail numbers are
used for the complete course AND the performance test.
NOTE: as the LPC tool is almost

identical for A320, 330 & 340, this setup
is based on the A320 and the
differences will be pointed out in due
course.
DATE: SEP 2006
First choose a tail number:

here the A320.
Page 22
ZFCP145

Choosing a tail number automatically changes the aircraft model. Here an A320 with CFM 56-5CB4 engines is an
A320-214.
Depending on the setup decided by your company administrator, you may enter a flight number, which will
automatically input the departure and destination airport in the LPC.
If no flight number is entered, you have to select the departure and destination airport. We will now see how to do it.
A tail number is affected to an

aircraft model.
Enter a flight number and press one

function key on the keyboard.

4.2. Data Entry

As requested in the FCOM, the first thing to do is to check that the proper software version is loaded in your computer.
Click on the Airbus logo.
As requested in FCOM Volume 3

chapter 03 (SOP), you have to check
the LPC version. Click on this icon.
DATE: SEP 2006
Page 24
ZFCP145

Check that the software version is in accordance with your company documentation.
Press the Escape key when you have finished.
Press OK when you have

checked the version.
DATE: SEP 2006

The next step is to choose the runway used for TakeOff. Today its runway 08. Again validate your choice by pressing
Enter.
The LPC automatically displays all the

available runways. Select RWY 08 and
validate by pressing Enter.
DATE: SEP 2006
Page 28
ZFCP145

The characteristics of the selected runways, as entered in the database, are displayed: runway length, clearway, stopway
and line up: either 90 deg or back tracking. The distance lost when the aircraft lines up, either from a taxiway or by
back tracking is automatically taken into account in the calculation.
To look at the characteristics of the obstacles in the TakeOff area, Press Alt and O.
Observe the characteristics of

the selected runway.
To look at the characteristics of the

obstacles located in the takeoff area,
press Alt and O.
DATE: SEP 2006

obstacles taken into account.
Press ESC when you

have finished.
DATE: SEP 2006
Page 30

If you have to modify the

runway, hit Alt and F2.
DATE: SEP 2006
Page 31
ZFCP145

Runway start is used to enter a TakeOff shift, for example when lining up at an intermediate taxiway.
Runway end is used to shorten the far end of the runway. Work in progress being a typical example.
Obstacles can be added, in case of NOTAM for example. Distance can be entered from brake release point or runway
end.
For runway length decrease, enter distance as published. Line up allowance will be automatically subtracted.
Fill in these fields if the runway is

shortened or to add a temporary
obstacle (crane).
Press ESC when you have

finished.

2 CG positions are taken into account: on A320, normal CG position is above 25%. Either the actual CG position is rear
to 25% of the M.A.C. or is forward.
Choose greater than 25% and press enter to confirm.
Select CG position > 25% (default)

DATE: SEP 2006
Page 43
ZFCP145

On A340, we have two positions AFT CG which is > 26% and forward position.
On A330 no CG window is provided, as TakeOff performances are not affected by the CG position.
On A330 the default CG position > 26%.

On A330 no CG window is provided.

For the time being, on A320 only TOGA is available.
Thrust option:
On A320, for the time being,
only TOGA is available
DATE: SEP 2006
Page 45
ZFCP145

On A330 & A340, in addition to TOGA, 6 levels of derated thrust are available in steps of 4%.
Optimum derate works as the OPT CONF for the flaps.
It enables the LPC to choose the derate level giving the highest TOW.
NOTE: Derate is particularly useful on short or contaminated runways.
More details on this will be provided later.
On the A340 the thrust BUMP would appear below the optimum derate.
This option gives approximately 4% of extra thrust during TakeOff.
On the A330 & A340, 6 level of

derated thrust are available.
Also Bump option on A340

Minimum Unstick speed is the lowest calibrated airspeed at and above which the aircraft can safely lift off the
ground and continue the TakeOff without encountering critical conditions.
What are these critical conditions ?
the necessary angle of attack is too great: the rear of the A/C can hit the ground.
Insufficient lateral control, may cause engine or wing to hit the ground.

It is necessary to take into account the runway length decrease due to the line up. The calculation of TODA, ASDA and
TORA do not take into account the aircraft line up on the runway considered for Take Off. This line up distance
depends on aircraft design and the access possibility on the runway.

11.9.1. Principle
weight
You need less Thrust
When your Actual TakeOff Weight is lower than the Maximum TakeOff Weight, you can perform a TakeOff with
less than the max TakeOff thrust.
This thrust reduction improves engine life and reduces maintenance costs.

Flex TakeOff: what for ?

TakeOff without using full thrust reduces:
the probability of a failure (safety aspect),
the engine deterioration rate and associated
maintenance costs (economic aspect).
Flex TakeOff:
The pilot types the Flex. Temp. in the MCDU:
Setting thrust levers on FLX will provide the necessary thrust for TakeOff.

11.9.3. Derated Takeoff`
Short runway: TOGA is used & V1 min is high

V2
V1=VMCG
VR
35ft
ACC STOP
This is due to excess of thrust
The present take off weight is VMCG limited, because of a short ASD and a high V1 min.
We can observe a large excess of thrust after lift off.
This excess of performance (thrust) is penalizing on ground and not necessary after lift off.
VR
V1=VMCG
35ft
ACC STOP
If, for the same TO weight, the maximum TO thrust is reduced or derated by a given percentage of X%, the
associated VMCG is decreased.
Consequently:
V1 may be reduced,
ACC/STOP distance is decreased accordingly,
climb out performance may still be met.
Thus derated take off may allow to increase TO weight
DATE: SEP 2006
Page 245
ZFCP1115

The Derated TO thrust is therefore to be considered as the maximum TO thrust rating available for a given take off.
It determines the new VMCG and the new VMCA applicable during that take off.
The use of Derated take off thrust:
increases payloads when operating on:

- short runways,
- contaminated runways.
also saves engine life.
Each derate level is certified and is associated to a new set of performance data

Principle
Advantages of derated take off :
TOGA Thrust
significant reduction of engine stress (like Flex TO),

decreasing TOGA will also decrease VMCG, and
the available value of V1, which enables short TO,
allowed on contaminated Runways.

Thrust level is less than TOGA
Performance for a flex Take-Off is computed by

adjusting the max Take-Off thrust performance.
A new set of performance data is provided in the

Flight Manual for each derate level.
At any moment it is possible to recover TOGA.
TOGA selection is not possible during Take-Off.
Thrust setting parameters for flex Take-Off are not

considered as Take-Off operating limits.
Thrust setting parameters are considered as an

operating limit for Take-Off.
Flex Take-Off cannot be performed on contaminated

runways.
Derated Take-Off is allowed on contaminated

runways.
