Dear All,



Please review the below Airbus FOT. It changes the Stall Recovery procedure and makes it MEMORY ITEM. It is essential that you immediately familiarise yourselves with the new procedure.

SUBJECT: ATA 27 - STALL RECOVERY PROCEDURE



OUR REF.: 999.0044/10 dated May 12, 2010



CLASSIFICATION: AIRWORTHINESS



AFFECTED AIRCRAFT: This FOT is applicable to all Airbus aircraft



Notice: This FOT covers an operational issue.

It is the Operators` responsibility to distribute this FOT

or the information contained in this FOT to all flight crews

without delay.





1. PURPOSE



Recent industry events have drawn attention to the importance of appropriate pilot reaction

in the case of stall.



This FOT informs all Airbus aircraft operators of the publication of a temporary revision (TR)

to modify the stall recovery procedure.





2. DESCRIPTION



Reduction of the angle of attack must be the first immediate action upon stall recognition

(aural stall warning, buffet, _).



Therefore a nose down pitch order must be applied.



When stall indications have stopped, the flight crew can smoothly increase the thrust as

needed to increase the energy and recover the initial flight path.

Minimizing the loss of altitude is secondary to the reduction of the angle of attack.



This procedure is a memory item. It will be included in the QRH (except for A380).





3. FLIGHT OPERATIONAL RECOMMENDATIONS



Operators should implement this modified procedure upon receipt of the FOT.





4. TRAINING ADVICES



Academic training: Airbus recommends that the academic information of this subject be

made available to all pilots, as soon as possible. A PowerPoint presentation will be available

on the Airbus World portal.

Type rating training: The modified procedure has to be applied for all stall recovery

procedures (including previous reference to approach to stall training).

Recurrent training: Airbus recommends to review the procedure in the next recurrent

training cycle to reinforce the application of the procedure.

Additionally the FAA stall training group will provide detailed guidance on stall training

technique by the end of September 2010.





5. FOLLOW-UP ACTION PLAN



The stall recovery procedure is available on the Airbus world portal and will be dispatched to

operators as follows:

Кто в курсе - что за срочность такая? Обычно АЭРБАС делает подобное после серьёзных инцидентов: (1. PURPOSE - Recent industry events have drawn attention to the importance of appropriate pilot reaction in the case of stall).
Есть мнения, что именно имелось ввиду? Инцидент над атлантикой пока не расследован. Йемецев, французы по ошибке сбили (во всяком случае, так говорят в самом Йемене...). А что ещё?
