### Cautions & Notes

<Warning>
  **Aborted Start** - ENG MASTER OFF, ENG MODE to CRANK, dry crank 30 s then 30 s rest before re-attempt.
</Warning>

<Note>
  **Taxi** - Brake check at first movement: *"Brakes checked, pressure normal"*.
</Note>

<Note>
  **Landing** - Reverse to idle at 70 kt, stowed by taxi speed. Autobrake disconnects automatically when crew applies manual braking.
</Note>

<Note>
  **ENG 1 First Start** - Current Airbus SOP (effective 2025) starts ENG 1 first, then ENG 2. This aligns with single-engine taxi-out flow and lets PM perform the start independently while PF focuses on taxi. Verify Yellow hydraulic accumulator pressure (parking brake) before pushback - Yellow is normally pressurised by ENG 2 EDP, so the accumulator must hold until ENG 2 is started.
</Note>

## Abnormal / Memory Items (Extract)

### ENGINE FIRE or SEVERE DAMAGE (In-Flight)

| Step | Action                                                                                       |

| 2    | **ENG MASTER (affected)** -> OFF                                                             |
| 3    | **ENG FIRE pushbutton (affected)** -> PUSH (isolates fuel, electrical, hydraulic, pneumatic) |
| 4    | Wait 10 s, then **AGENT 1** -> DISCH (if FIRE light still on)                                |
| 5    | If FIRE persists after 30 s -> **AGENT 2** -> DISCH                                          |
| 6    | ATC notify, ECAM actions, divert                                                             |

### EMERGENCY DESCENT

## Quick-Reference Speeds (A320-CEO)

All Airbus characteristic speeds are weight-dependent and computed by the FMGC; the values below describe what each speed represents, not a fixed number.

| Speed     | Meaning                                                                            |
| --------- | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| Green Dot | Engine-out best L/D in clean config (FMGC-computed, typically \~200-220 kt at MLW) |
| S         | Minimum slat-retraction speed in CONF 1 (\~1.22-1.25 Vs of clean)                  |
| F         | Minimum flap-retraction speed in CONF 2/3 (\~1.18-1.22 Vs of CONF 1+F)             |
| VLS       | Lowest selectable speed (1.13 Vs in landing config)                                |
| VAPP      | VLS + wind correction (typically +5 to +15 kt)                                     |
| VFE       | Maximum flap-extended speed for current config (PFD upper amber band)              |
