ED Decision 2021/002/R
TABLE OF ASSESSMENT AND TRAINING TOPICS
(a) The assessment and training topics usually have several example scenario elements. At least one example scenario element is selected (e.g. Gen 4 topic βGo-aroundβ in MT has three example scenario elements β the operator may choose one at each module (frequency A)).
(b) Flight phase for activation:
Abbreviation |
Flight phase |
Description |
GND (1) |
Flight planning, preflight, engine start & taxi-out |
Ground phases up to when the crew increases thrust for taking-off |
|
Taxi-in, engine shutdown, post-flight & flight closing |
From the speed that permits the aircraft to be manoeuvred by means of taxiing for arriving at a parking area until the crew completes post-flight and flight closing duties. |
TO (2) |
Take-off |
This phase begins when the crew increases the thrust for taking-off. It ends after the speed and configuration are established at a defined manoeuvring altitude or to continue the climb for cruise. |
CLB (3) |
Climb |
This phase begins when the crew establishes the aircraft at a defined speed and configuration enabling the aircraft to increase altitude for the purpose of cruise. It ends with the aircraft established at a predetermined constant initial cruise altitude at a defined speed. |
CRZ (4) |
Cruise |
The cruise phase begins when the crew establishes the aircraft at a defined speed and predetermined constant initial cruise altitude and proceeds in the direction of a destination. It ends with the beginning of descent for an approach. |
DES (5) |
Descent |
This phase begins when the crew departs the cruise altitude for an approach at a particular destination. It ends when the crew initiates changes in aircraft configuration and/or speed to facilitate a landing on a particular runway. |
APP (6) |
Approach |
This phase begins when the crew initiates changes in aircraft configuration and/or speeds enabling the aircraft to manoeuvre for landing on a particular runway. It ends when the aircraft is in the landing configuration and the crew is dedicated to land on a specific runway. It also includes go-around where the crew aborts the descent to the planned landing runway during the approach phase. Go-around ends after speed and configuration are established at a defined manoeuvring altitude or to continue the climb for cruise. |
LDG (7) |
Landing |
This phase begins when the aircraft is in the landing configuration and the crew is dedicated to touchdown on a specific runway. It ends when the speed permits the aircraft to be manoeuvred by means of taxiing for arrival at a parking area. |
ALL (8) |
All |
Any or all phases of flight |
EASA GM1 ORO.FC.232 defines flight phase abbreviations (GND, TO, CLB, CRZ, DES, APP, LDG, ALL) and their activation descriptions for EBT assessment and training topics.
