Across these chapters, the manual delivers the complete certified operating envelope for the fleet. The Limitations chapter sets the weight variants, CG envelopes, VMO/MMO, VFE, VMCG/VMCA, environmental envelope and system limits. The Emergency and Abnormal chapters provide the drill for both memory items and ECAM-driven situations, from cargo smoke and hydraulic loss to dual engine failure, ditching and forced landing. The Performance chapter supplies takeoff, in-flight and landing data, plus the database references needed to compute the numbers for a specific runway and weight. The appendices extend coverage to noise certification, ETOPS, TAWS, ROPS, narrow runway operations and wet grooved/PFC runways.

Applicability and Fleet Coverage

The manual is issued for the AZU fleet and is structured around the approved configurations for that operator. It supports the following aircraft models and their registration marks:

• A320-214 – PR-AJB
• A320-251N – PR-YRA, PR-YRB, PR-YRC, PR-YRD, PR-YRE, PR-YRF, PR-YRH, PR-YRI, PR-YRJ, PR-YRK, PR-YRL, PR-YRN, PR-YRO, PR-YRQ, PR-YRR, PR-YRS, PR-YRT, PR-YRU, PR-YRV, PR-YRW, PR-YRX, PR-YRY, PR-YRZ, PR-YSA, PR-YYA, PR-YYB
• A321-251NX – PR-YJA

Engine coverage includes the CFM 56-5B4 family on the A320-214, the CFM LEAP-1A26 on the A320-251N, and the CFM LEAP-1A32 on the A321-251N/NX. This Airbus A320 Family AZU Fleet Airplane Flight Manual is approved by the European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) and, where applicable, by the Agência Nacional de Aviação Civil (ANAC) for Brazilian registered aircraft under RBAC 21 Section 21.29.

Why This April 2019 Edition Matters

The 10 April 2019 issue reflects the state of the fleet at that date. It incorporates the full set of Temporary Revisions active at the time, including ETOPS for NEO aircraft (TR759 Issue 2), display unit failure (TR301), fuel pump operation after engine shutdown (TR660), MCDL 52-03 access door updates (TR564) and the RAT flight testing revision (TR6). Operators and maintenance teams working on the AZU A320 Family aircraft will find that this edition carries the correct approved data, rather than the older 22 March 2019 baseline.

The Airplane Flight Manual is the reference document for the flight crew and for the engineering team supporting the aircraft. It is written in English and published by Airbus Customer Services Directorate. A note in the General chapter makes clear that any FCOM reference inside the AFM is advisory only, and that the AFM itself is the approved document. This makes the A320 Family AZU Fleet Airplane Flight Manual essential for anyone who needs the authoritative limitations and procedures rather than an operational summary.

What This Airbus A320 Family AZU Fleet Airplane Flight Manual Enables You to Do

This manual gives a flight crew or maintenance engineer the means to operate, dispatch and troubleshoot the AZU A320 Family aircraft correctly. It supports:

• Confirming the certified weight, CG and performance envelope before a flight
• Running through normal procedures for preflight, takeoff, climb, cruise, descent, approach and landing
• Managing emergency situations with the approved checklist sequence, from cargo fire to loss of braking to ditching
• Working through abnormal situations such as hydraulic system loss, flight control law degradation, fuel imbalance or unreliable airspeed
• Calculating takeoff, en-route and landing performance using the correct database references
• Applying the Master Configuration Deviation List when dispatching with missing items
• Understanding noise certification, ETOPS, TCAS, TAWS, ROPS and other supplemental approvals

Having the approved procedures and specifications in front of you matters because the A320 Family is a fly-by-wire aircraft with specific law reversion behaviour, specific performance corrections and specific dispatch conditions. The Airbus A320 Family AZU Fleet Airplane Flight Manual is the document that carries those numbers and procedures in their approved form.

Delivery is instant. The file is a PDF that downloads immediately after purchase, with no shipping and no waiting. It can be viewed on any device and printed if a paper copy is needed for the flight deck or the maintenance office.
