(1)For
take-off performance calculations refer to equivalances matrix in 4.1 - TAKE-OFF
PERFORMANCE
(2)Take-off and landing is permitted only when reported RWYCC is equal to 2 or higher. For
performance calculations and crosswind limitations maximum RWYCC 3 may be used. Refer to
FCTM/PR/SOP/DESCENT PREPARATION/LANDING PERFORMANCE/DOWNGRADED OR
UPGRADED RWYCC.A RWYCC 1 or 0 maybe be upgraded by the aerodrome operator to a maximum
Page 6
of RWYCC 3. The reason for the upgrade will be specified in the ‘situational awareness’ section of the
RCR.
For crosswind limits, refer to the upgraded RWYCC
(3)Can be used for Runway Condition assessment, where GRF has not been implemented.
(4)When runway is reported DAMP, crew can use runway condition: WET instead of Slippery WET,
unless the airport publishes lower RWYCC.
(5)Operations
on a Narrow runway covered by "Compacted snow" not allowed. X-wind limit applies to
RWYCC 4 in any other circumstances.
The RCAM allows reporting of a few new contaminants, which are not specifically available in the
runway condition options of the computation tools. These new contaminants can be addressed with the
existing set of data in a way that is perfectly compliant, for landing only. For take-off use actual
contaminant and depth:
• Frost: Use wet unless there is a thick accumulation. In this case use the downgraded RWCC
• Compacted Snow at or below -15℃: use Compacted Snow
• Compacted Snow above -15℃: use Dry Snow 10mm
• Dry Snow on top of Compacted Snow: use Dry Snow of the appropriate depth
• Wet Snow on top of Compacted Snow: use Wet Snow of the appropriate depth
Commanders are to make sure at check-in what the experience of their First Officer is on Airbus fly-by-
wire aircraft (verbal confirmation).
First Officers are permitted to handle the aircraft in all ground and flight phases, subject to the
Commander’s discretion and the following limitations:

(1)Refer to OM-A 8.1.2.8 Challenging airports for the details of the “challenging airport” category. These
airports are indicated in the OM-C Airport Breifing.
CM2 should not taxi the aircraft onto a self-guidance stand with guidance system set for the left seat
only.
Refer to Company crosswind and contaminated runway limitations and Company limitations for First
Officersabove for operations on narrow runways.
Commanders are permitted to operate on a narrow runway (CM1 or CM2) only if their narrow runway
simulator training is valid.
Co-pilots are permitted to be PF on narrow runways only if their narrow runway simulator training is
valid.
Page 8
NOTE
The low speed end of the landing roll is considered to be part of the rollout, not part of the taxi. As
long as the aircraft is completing its landing roll on the runway or entering to a RET/HST (high
speed exit taxiway), taxi speed limitations do not apply. Turns to RETs/HSTs at airports suitable
for the aircraft are designed with such a radius that they can be used at speeds up to 50 kts
(even in wet RWY conditions) for runway vacation.
As the primary aim of RETs/HSTs is to expedite traffic, pilots should not unnecessarily slow down
(e.g.: to 10-15 kts) before exiting via such a taxiway. It is still the commander’s responsibility to
decelerate to a safe speed for runway vacation, when necessary (e.g.: slippery runway
conditions, visibility or traffic situation on connecting taxiways).
For speed restrictions during taxi, refer to Company limitations for ground maneuvering
Pilots shall comply with the below company speed restrictions:
CAUTION
More restrictive speed restrictions may be imposed either by:
Page 9
NOTE
Applicable airspace speed limits may vary from country to country. Generally, as opposed to E, F
and G airspace, in most European countries, there is no speed limit for IFR traffic below FL100 in
A, B, C and D airspace (except when following a procedure). For applicable speed limitations in a
given airspace always refer to eRM AOI pages “Departure”/”Arrival” section.
NOTE
This extra limitation is to avoid nuisance ECAM caution during take-off due to local temperature
sensing anomalies.
This is the only manual restriction to be applied to the calculated FLX temperature.
The FLX temperature provided by Flsymart+ take-off performance calculation satisfies all the
other requirements stated in the FCOM. Refer to FCOM/Performance/Takeoff/Thrust Options/
Flexible and Derated Takeoff/Flexible Takeoff .
NOTE
For calculations the FCTM standard drift down one engine inoperative operating speed is used
(an average TAS of 380 kts).
Refer to FCTM/Procedures/Abnormal and Emergency Procedures/ Engine Failure During Cruise
Page 10
During critical phases of the flight (Refer to OM-A 0.1.6 Definitions), the EFB device has to be “stowed”.
This implies placing the EFB device into the dedicated side storage compartment. The information
presented on the screen is not available for immediate use. Critical data has to be reproduced and be
available promptly (i.e. manual insertion into MCDU pages or copy to OFP) according to OM-B
procedures.
In other than critical phases of flight the EFB device can be kept on the sliding table (may be open
according to OM-B procedures) or on the lap of the PM for immediate reference and easy access.
OVERVIEW
The Portable Electronic Device (PED) Suction Cup mount, developed by RAM Mounts®, is designed to
secure the EFB device in the flight deck. It allows use of the EFB in all phases of flight, including,
specifically, 10,000 ft AAL and below. It is important to note that only company issued PEDs must be
used in conjunction with this mount. No other PEDs are permitted. The maximum combined weight of
the EFB and cover must not exceed 1.5 kg.
Page 11
Page 12
CAUTION
At the termination of their flight duty, PF and PM mounts must be re-stowed in their designated
stowage locations
The EFB mounts may only be installed on the sliding side window in the following location (shaded in
green in the images below):
CAUTION
Placement of the mount must not interfere with operations of the side sliding window handle
mechanism.
MOUNT INSTALLATION
Prior to installing the mount, wipe the three suction cups, located at the base of the unit, utilizing a wet
wipe. Inspect the suction cups for evidence of nicks, cuts, tears or damage.
Also inspect the window area where the mount will be fitted for dust or oil marks; clean this area as
necessary with a wet wipe.
Page 13
NOTE
Nicks, cuts, tears or damage to the suction cups, and/or a dirty mounting surface, may impact the
gripping power of the unit and subsequently affect safe use of the mount.
Loosen the adjustable friction nut to allow movability of the double socket arm and the adapter square.
Sufficient friction power must remain, to allow for temporary manipulation of the EFB device, until the
desired position is attained.
Prior to installing the mount, ensure all three suction cup twist lock base levers are turned anti-
clockwise until the stops reach the “OFF” position:
The base of the suction cups should appear flat. Position the mount onto the approved location of the
side sliding window by holding onto the double socket arm. Ensure all three suction cups are flush with
the window glass.
While applying slight pressure towards the window, turn all three suction cup twist lock base levers
clockwise until the stops reach the “ON” position:
Check the security of the mount by firmly pulling and wiggling the suction cup base; no substantial
movement of the base should be observed.
The mount is now installed and ready for use with the EFB.
MOUNT UNINSTALLATION
Uninstallation of the mount is required, at the termination of the flight, prior to a change in Flight Crew.
Page 14
NOTE
Attempting to release the suction power from the suction cups by pulling on any other portion of
the suction cups may warp or damage the individual components. Only use the allocated flaps to
accomplish this task.
Fold the mount together by releasing the friction nut and positioning the mounting adapter square.
Store the mounts in the respective stowage locations.
SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
• Do not install the mount on any window other than the side sliding window.
• Do not install the mount in any location on the side sliding window other than the one which is
approved.
• Do not install the mount in such a manner that would interfere with operations of the side sliding
window handle mechanism.
• Do not use the mount as a handle to secure yourself during turbulence or while getting into or out of
the seat.
• Do not use any PED on the mount other than the company issued EFB.
Refer to OM-A 8.3.23 Policy on portable electronic devices for additional limitations.
Page 15
Electronic power usage in each Wizz Air aircraft is strictly limited to EFB devices and mobile phone
charging. Consequently, connecting any other device to the EPS outlet is prohibited.
Refer to EFB Policies and Procedures Manual 1.5 Limitations of the EFB system.
The mounting device is not a certified aircraft part, it is part of the EFB system.
For more details on the use of the mount refer to EFB mounted operations limitations
If the mounting kit is not installed or INOP, revert to EFB Hand held operations, Refer to EFB handheld
operations limitations
