138
GPS/Predictive GPWS Limitations
Aircraft navigation must not be based on the use of the terrain display .
The terrain display is intended to serve as a situation awareness tool only, and may not provide the accuracy on which to solely base terrain avoidance maneuvering.
The predictive GPWS functions should be inhibited (TERR pushbutton to OFF, on the GPWS panel) when the aircraft position is less than 15 NM from the airfield:
‐ For operations from/to runways not incorporated in the predictive GPWS database.
‐ For specific approach or departure procedures, which have previously been identified by the operator as potentially causing expected or spurious terrain alerts.
Note: The decision to inhibit the predictive GPWS functions must not be based on flight crew judgement only.
139
A320/1
ROW/ROPS (Runway Overrun Warning/Runway Overrun Protection System)
In the case of runways that are not validated for ROPS in the GPWS database, ROPS is inoperative.
It is the operator's responsibility to inform the flight crews about the runways that are not validated for ROPS, along the scheduled route.
The ROPS may be inhibited (TERR pb set to OFF on GPWS panel) when the aircraft position is less than 15 NM from the airfield:
‐ For specific approach procedures which have previously been identified as potentially producing undue ROW alerts.
‐ If a NOTAM displaces the landing threshold (shortened LDA).
Operations where the FLD assessed during the descent preparation is greater than the LDA must not be conducted, unless specific authorization is obtained from the appropriate authority. For these runways, ROW alerts may be triggered if the ROPS is not inhibited ( on the GPWS panel, the TERR
pb is kept ON).
140
A321NEO
ROW/ROPS (Runway Overrun Warning/Runway Overrun Protection System)
In the case of runways that are not validated for ROPS in the GPWS database, ROPS is inoperative.
It is the operator's responsibility to inform the flight crews about the runways that are not validated for ROPS, along the scheduled route.
The ROPS function may be inhibited (ROW/ROP pb-sw set to OFF on SURV panel) for specific approach procedures which have previously been identified as potentially producing undue ROW alerts.
Operations where the FLD assessed during the descent preparation is greater than the LDA must not be conducted, unless specific authorization is obtained from the appropriate authority. For these runways, ROW alerts may be triggered if the ROPS is not inhibited (on the SURV panel, the ROW/ROP pb-sw is ON).
In the case of a failure that affects landing performance and/or the availability of the thrust reversers, ROPS does not prevent runway excursion.
If DRY runway condition is set for WET PFC/GROOVED runway, ROPS does not prevent runway excursion.
In any case, if ROPS alerts are triggered, the flight crew must immediately apply the ROPS procedures.
