The A350-1000 is a nose-heavy aircraft and additional ballast may be required to ensure that the CG envelope is respected.
If operating with little or no payload, flight crew should liaise with CLC and/or Global Operations Control at the earliest opportunity to check for any trim restrictions.
In exceptional conditions (in-flight turnback or diversion), an immediate landing at a weight above maximum landing weight is permitted, provided that
the flight crew follows the overweight landing procedure.
27
See table for Takeoff weight limitations when light with certain
Crosswinds, D rates and headwinds
28
Landing weight below 150 t (330 694 lb) (except MSN9812)
CONF 3 landing is mandatory.
Landing with tailwind above 10 kt is not permitted.

any adverse effect on the Bleed Air System (BAS).
30
Maximum positive differential pressure
| Maximum negative differential pressure
10. 29 PSI
- 0.72 PSI

31
In order to prevent any adverse effect on the Air Conditioning system:
Do not use conditioned air from the packs and from the LP air conditioning unit at the same time
Do not set the AIR FLOW selector to HI if an LP air conditioning unit is used and the aircraft
is electrically powered.
32

below 2 PSI.
33

34
AIRPORT CONDITIONS
Automatic landing is demonstrated, as follows:
With an airport elevation up to
With a glide slope angle between
9 200 ft
| -2.5 ° and -3.5 °.
35
For automatic landing, one autopilot at least must be engaged in APPR mode, LAND1, LAND2 or LAND3 SINGLE or LAND3 DUAL capability must be displayed on the FMA and the configuration must be….
Note:
Automatic approach and automatic landing have been demonstrated with one engine inoperative in CONF 3 and CONF FULL, if engine out procedures are completed before reaching 1 000 ft in approach.
CONF 3 or CONF FULL.
36
Depending on the situation (e.g. emergency or other) and provided that the runway is approved for automatic landing, the flight crew can decide to perform an autoland up to the maximum
takeoff weight.
37
RUNWAY CONDITIONS
CAT IIIB operation is not authorized on contaminated runways.
The performance of the ROLL OUT mode is demonstrated on dry and wet runways (up to 3 mm of water).
The roll out performance on contaminated runways has not been demonstrated and cannot be assured.
Therefore, if the flight crew aims to keep AP engaged during rollout on a contaminated runway, they must apply all of the following:
Consider the maximum crosswind value that is the most restrictive (associated either with the runway condition, or with autoland)
For more information on the maximum crosswind value for landing associated with the runway condition, Refer to FCOM/Maximum Crosswind for Takeoff and Landing.
Be prepared to disengage the AP and take over manually should ROLL OUT directional control become inadequate.
38
Autoland WEATHER CONDITIONS
Maximum wind conditions:
Maximum tailwind: Refer to LIM-AG-OPS Maximum Tailwind for Landing (15kt)
Maximum headwind: 30/40/20 kt
Maximum crosswind: 30/25/10 kt
Note:
Wind limitation is based on the surface wind reported by the tower.
If the ND indicates a current wind speed that exceeds the above-noted autoland limitations, but the tower reports a surface wind speed within the limitations, then the flight crew
can perform an automatic landing. If the tower reports a surface wind speed beyond the limits, the flight crew can only perform a CAT I or CAT II automatic approach without autoland.
39
ILS CAT I with no LVP
Automatic landing system performance is demonstrated with CAT II and CAT III ILS airport installation. However, ILS CAT I automatic landing can be performed on a runway when Low Visibility Procedure (LVP) are not applicable, provided that the following precautions are taken:
An automatic landing may only be performed on runways for which LTS Cat I, Cat II, OTS Cat II or Cat III minima are published using the published Cat I DA.
Autoland is not permitted when the reciprocal (sometimes referred to as opposite or downwind) ILS localiser is transmitting. Refer to OM-A/Section 8.22.12.c for further guidance.
The flight crew is aware that LOC or G/S beam fluctuations, independent of the aircraft system, may occur. The PF is prepared to immediately disconnect the autopilot, and to take the appropriate action, should not satisfactory guidance occur
At least LAND2 capability is displayed on the FMA and the flight crew use CAT II/III procedures
Visual references are obtained at a DA/DH appropriate for the ILS CAT I approach. If not, a go-around must be performed.

CAUTION
Rain repellent must not be used as a windshield washer, and never be applied on a
dry windshield.

70
The landing gear gravity extension reset function must not be used in flight.
CAUTION

No more than one affected tire on the nose landing gear
No more than two affected tires on each main landing gear provided that the affected tires are not on the same axle.
In addition, if tire damage is suspected, the flight crew must
ask for an aircraft inspection prior to vacate the runway or taxi. If the ground crew suspects that a tire burst may damage the landing gear, maintenance action is due.
For more information, Refer to FCTM/PR-AEP-LDG Taxi with Deflated Tires.
73
The Backup Steering Function (BSF) must not be used:
On contaminated runways,
For more than 90 ° turns,

78
For landing on a contaminated runway, the flight crew must set the LDG PERF CODE at or below 4 (COMP SNOW - GOOD TO MEDIUM), regardless of the available airport reports (e.g. Pilot Report of Braking Action = Good or Estimated Surface Friction = Good).
Note:
The flight crew must pay attention to the validity of the reported depth of contamination at the time of landing.
For more information about:
The definition of the landing performance equivalent to wet, Refer to PER-LDG-30 Contaminated Runway
The runway condition assessment matrix, Refer to PER-LDG-30 Runway Condition Assessment Matrix for Landing
The selection of a runway condition, Refer to DSC-34-32-20-20-70 RWY CONDITION/BRAKING ACTION Matrix.
79
The ROW/ROP is certified :
Note:
In the case of a failure affecting landing performance, the ROW/ROP alerts are available.
The ROW/ROP alerts are based on landing performance that does not take into account the performance penalties linked to the alert that impacts the landing performance.
The flight crew must always follow the ROW/ROP alerts.
Operations where the ROW landing distance is above the LDA ("TOO SHORT" indication displayed on the ND) must not be conducted unless a specific authorization is obtained from the appropriate authority to deactivate the ROW/ROP for these operations.
In this case, the flight crew must deactivate the ROW/ROP via either:
The ROW/ROP pb-sw@ on the SURV overhead panel@ , or
The TERR SYS button on the MFD SURV page, if the ROW/ROP pb-sw@ is not installed. In this case, the flight crew must deactivate the ROW/ROP when the aircraft position is less than 15 NM from the airfield.
