-VERTICAL SPEED
If a preventive RA was triggered. Check that the vertical speed remains out of the red area of the vertical speed scale.
If a corrective RA was triggered. Check that the vertical speed gets out of the red area and remains in the green area of
the vertical speed scale.
CAUTION: If for any reason during an RA, the aircraft vertical speed does not reach the green area of the vertical speed
scale, the Pilot Flying (PF) should disconnect the AP, and override the FD orders, in order to lead the aircraft vertical speed
out of the red area of the vertical speed scale. If necessary, the PF must use the full speed range
between Vmax and Vmax.
• If any “CLIMB” aural alert sounds during the final approach:
-TCAS MODE ORDERs
-GO-AROUND
If the flight crew performs a go-around, the TCAS mode disengages and the SRS mode engages. The AP/FD does no
longer follow the RA orders. In any case, check that the vertical speed gets out the red area, and remains in the green
area of the vertical speed scale

GPWS CAUTIONS
Applicable to: MSN 07502-08539
▪ "TERRAIN TERRAIN" - "TOO LOW TERRAIN" - "TERRAIN AHEAD" - "OBSTACLE AHEAD"
• During night or IMC:
Simultaneously:
AP
PITCH
Pull to full backstick and maintain in that position
THRUST LEVERS
SPEED BRAKE lever
BANK
Aircraft obtain the best climb performance when the wings are as level as possible. The flight crew can adjust
bank while climbing, provided that turning is the safest action.
Note: For some airports, the operator may define a specific procedure.
DO NOT CHANGE CONFIGURATION (SLATS/FLAPS, GEAR) UNTIL CLEAR OF OBSTACLE.
• During daylight and VMC, with terrain and obstacles clearly in sight:
FLIGHT PATH
Adjust pitch, bank and thrust to silence the alert.
Note: For some airports, the operator may define a specific procedure.
▪ "SINK RATE"
• Above 1 000 ft AAL in IMC or above 500 ft AAL in VMC:
FLIGHT PATH
Adjust pitch and thrust to silence the alert.

BANK
Aircraft obtain the best climb performance when the wings are as level as possible. The flight crew can adjust
bank while climbing, provided that turning is the safest action.
The "TERRAIN AHEAD PULL UP" or "OBSTACLE AHEAD PULL UP" aural alert may be followed by the
"AVOID TERRAIN" or "AVOID OBSTACLE" aural alert. In this case, the flight crew must adjust bank as
necessary.
DO NOT CHANGE CONFIGURATION (SLATS/FLAPS, GEAR) UNTIL CLEAR OF OBSTACLE.

If Windshear is detected, both PFDs display a WINDSHEAR message. An associated aural WINDSHEAR alert sounds
three times.
If either the flight crew or the WXR system detects WINDSHEAR, apply the following recovery technique:
• At Takeoff:
• If before V1:
If there are significant variations in airspeed, and in airspeed trend below the indicated V1, reject the takeoff.
If windshear occurs during the takeoff roll, the aircraft may reach V1 later (or sooner) than expected. The flight crew should
ensure that there is sufficient runway remaining to stop the aircraft, if necessary.
• If after V1
THR LEVERS
REACHING VR
SRS ORDERS
If necessary, the flight crew may pull the sidestick fully back
Note: If the FD bars are not displayed, move toward an initial pitch attitude of 17.5°. Then, if necessary, to prevent a
loss in altitude, increase pitch attitude.
• Airborne, initial climb or landing:
THR LEVERS AT TOGA
AP (if engaged)
SRS ORDERS
if necessary, the flight crew may pull the sidestick fully back.
Note: 1. Autopilot disengages if the angle of attack value goes above α prot.
2. If the FD bars are not displayed, move toward an initial pitch attitude of 17.5°. Then, if necessary, to prevent
a loss in altitude, increase the pitch attitude
DO NOT CHANGE CONFIGURATION (SLATS/FLAPS, GEAR) UNTIL OUT OF WINDSHEAR

STALL RECOVERY
Applicable to: MSN 07502-07595
As soon as any stall indication (could be aural warning, buffet…) is recognized, apply the immediate actions:
Applicable to: MSN 07691-10301
As soon as any stall indication (could be aural warning, "STALL STALL" red message on PFD,
buffet...) is recognized, apply the immediate actions:
NOSE DOWN PITCH CONTROL
This will reduce angle of attack
Note: In case of lack of pitch down authority, reducing thrust may be necessary
BANK
• When out of stall (no longer stall indications):
THRUST
Note: in case of one engine inoperative, progressively compensate the thrust asymmetry with rudder

FLIGHT PATH
• If in clean configuration and below 20 000 ft:

Note: If a risk of ground contact exists, once clearly out of stall (no longer stall indications), establish smoothly a positive climb gradient:
